There are some emails making the rounds of subdivisions in the Beulah area. They contain form letters spouting incomplete information, inaccurate information, and flat-out misinformation/disinformation.
Sadly--some folks are believing this garbage. Several are compliantly forwarding along the sample email to commissioners.
But the folks need to know that what is contained in this propaganda email flyer attachment is untrue.
Instead of getting agitated and upset--they ought to simply pick up the phone and call their commissioner or do some basic internet research first.
Just call before you get worked up is my advice---because the garbage propaganda you are getting is simply designed to manipulate you into waging a battle that isn't necessary. Because here are the facts:
---The BCC did not cut the presenters off mid sentence--the presentation had gone on for a half-hour and the slide-deck was completed and it was the question and answer session once me and my counterparts started asking questions. Also-simple information that had been previously requested of DPZ by the board was not brought to the meeting. This agitated the board and contributed to some tension in the meeting.
---Under our Triumph Gulf Coast grant, we must attract jobs that pay above the prevailing wage--so the sentence in this propaganda flyer that says the OLF-8 project "will provide predominantly low-skilled, low-wage jobs" is a lie!
---the line "Escambia County does NOT need another underutilized commerce park" inaccurately portrays the commerce parks in Escambia as underperforming--which is a LIE! (Our 5 general use commerce parks are a smashing success--employing more than 13,800 or our citizens and creating $1.7 Billion yearly in economic impact)
---The email links a garbage, debunked hatchet piece "opinion" from the Pensacola News Journal that was "critical" of the board and me in particular. That trash-pile "editorial" was debunked and totally ripped to shreds by the area's only other local print-media journalist, Rick Outzen. He completely and totally dismantled their piece with a logical, thoughtful retort to it.
---and finally...the board HAS NOT made any final decisions yet on exactly how this property will be developed and we have not "selected" DPZ's "commerce park" plan. That assertion is an absolute lie
Here's the thing: We can disagree on factual issues--but if a ruckus is spun up via misinformation and folks actually buy into the propaganda without getting the facts first for themselves---this is not a good situation.

Sadly many people lack critical thinking skills and are easily led. It takes an enormous amount of time to sift through information and discern the truth, and often the wise know to not engage.
ReplyDeleteWatching the meeting video of the BOCC Jan 21, -- it was interesting to see the legal fee request die for lack of a second for D2 running his mouth on social media but the D2 challenger is worse than Underhill as far as disinfo, lies and twisting facts.
Her hunting down Trump supporters with her partner in crime plus announcing it on her public facebook page and her apparent ideals about controlling covid shows she would turn people in like the Stasi. She is a part of the modern day fascism and totalitarianism which is inline with the far left, I think even JoBama/ Installed Potus 46, (Biden) doesn't know what he signed up for.

Yes most know OLF8 was purchased to be a commerce park. Maybe a company will migrate soon.
ReplyDeleteDo you know many think FL is the best run state and DeSantis is the best governor in the country? Also they wish they had a representative like Gaetz and would like them to run for POTUS? You wouldn't know it if you listened to the lame stream media and big mouths on social media around here. Turn off the noise.
So now D2 is suing the county for his fees. Why can't D2 get a normal person in place.
Alan McMillan would have been great except for all the social media chatter B/S All this non sense started with D2 trying to start something online and he actually wanted to get his hands on it himself. Now NIMBY Civic com wants acts like they own it and can design it. It's ridiculous.
I and my wife recently moved to Nature Trail from Atlanta. We are very concerned by the proposed Commerce Park. I grew up in Pensacola and my parents have lived here for pretty much their whole lives and our family goes back generations here. My cousins own property in the Ellyson Field commerce park. So basically, I know Pensacola very, very well. I lived in Atlanta on the north side for 30+ years... Why? because that was were the jobs were and I could grow a business from nothing to 30 employees and growing rapidly. I could not do that in Pensacola. We need high tech jobs but we need beauty and taste. Nine mile road and Pensacola Blvd are a disaster in terms of beauty. I love Pensacola and the people here. It is home. Nature Trail is my forever home. I want what gets developed to be mixed use, focused on beauty and taste and attractive to everyone. I want Mr. Bergosh to come to Nature Trail some evening and listen to the residents there and have dinner with us and make friends. I want us all to be respectful and look for ideas and solutions that will make us all proud of our community. I do not want a battle or we will all lose.
