The Cobb Way Sentinel: Journalism In A Police State: Opinion & The Saga Of Jerry Quan cont.
Top Layer: Talkin' Larry, Jerry, & Wendy
Journalism In A Police State
I’d like to continue my police state series with a brief look at journalism. Or the lack of credible mainstream journalism in Georgia.
Levels of Journalism
Top Layer- Fluff, Pander, Corporate State Propaganda, Hasbara, Spin.
These would include…
The Atlanta Journal Constitution. The Marietta Daily Journal. Cobb County Courier. Cobb County News Now. The East Cobb News. The East Cobber. No offense intended.
Rarely is any real investigation, follow-up, or critical analysis displayed. Often, I have to read the articles twice, and I usually end up with more questions than answers.
These outlets most often display a clear political bias and agenda, which has motivated me to concentrate on the NWO stories.
Larry, Jerry, & Wendy : More Thoughts…
The Cobb County Courier: Woke Trash or Legit News?
First Look…
The first thing I noticed about the Cobb County Courier site is the barrage of pop-up ads. Simply navigating to an article is like storming the beach at Normandy, or playing a video game. Right off the bat, I’m wondering if the site is legit news, or will I be offered a Russian bride in one of the pop-up ads.
The writing is often good, if the subject matter is not to everyone’s taste. The publications editor, Mr. Larry Felton Johnson, is unapologetic about his left-wing politics and rarely at a loss for words. Recently, Mr. Felton Johnson’s publication posted articles promoting school library books about underage gay sex, Black life before slavery, how Black students caught up in Cobb’s school policing get screwed(Come On Back Boy), and the continuing saga of N.G. (everyone gets screwed, you don’t have to be Black…Count On Being Busted)
East Cobb News: For The Way You Live Today.
Editing and publishing a local suburban paper in a police state during the great reset isn’t easy. And former Cox Media online editor Wendy Parker would know. While the good folks over at Cobb County Courier are busy protecting the underprivileged, victimized minorities, and calling out the district’s controversial in-school,racist, Gestapo.Wendy Parker, at the East Cobb News runs interference and posts a positive school resource officer counter- narrative of which I was suspicious from the start. But does she miss the point?
The Point
What Mrs. Parker failed to point out in her article is that Officer Jerry Quan has had a 20 year, very close relationship with East Cobb’s Jewish community and Temple Etz Chaim. Working temple security on Saturdays, babysitting, and flying out to weddings in California. Jerry even has his own personalized Kippa with Irgun military insignia. It’s no wonder the synagogue’s kids feel safe and comfortable around him. “He’s like our own personal bodyguard”, said Tovah Klein, a freshman.

After All The Kvetching(Noise), Where Are The Nazi’s?
Another important factor left out of Mrs. Parkers article would be that Officer Quan, on top of protecting the Jewish community of East Cobb from graffiti over the last 20 years, had personally apprehended the anti-semitic, nazi, hate-criminals who defaced the bathroom and placed East Cobb’s Jewish youth in such a state of terror that Holocaust survivors were dragged into the picture.
Who are they? Where are they? What motivated them?How did Quan catch them? I’m asking y’all, Larry and Wendy.
What about N.G ? The Black student who got caught up in Cobb’s Justice Machine over possession of an alleged THC vape pen?
more to follow….
Until next time.
God bless all.
Cobb County Bureau Chief,
Kevin H.

BACKGROUND: The Oldest Story In The World
My story is a tired Hollywood cliche... an innocent man is mistaken for a guitar playing park pedophile, police terrorize man, man develops PTSD, the system covers for the police, man sues the police, man begins documentary film, man is harrassed,man drops case and flees across the country with his family, orange vapor shoots light into man, man sees clearly, man writes best-selling book and lives happily ever after. We’ve all heard the plot before. I’m finishing up that best-selling book now.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE ?
Many new readers have recently asked, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COBB WAY, AND THE COBB WAY SENTINEL?
THE COBB WAY is a novel. A dark, fictional account of my adventures living in Cobb County, Georgia. Another title might be, What Happens When A Citizen Is Maliciously Traumatized By Law Enforcement And Jumps Down The Murky And Dangerous Rabbit Hole Of Dealing With Police Misconduct In The State Of Georgia? The last title being a little lengthy. This site is a smattering of book excerpts, thoughts, opinions, essays, and rants.
THE COBB WAY SENTINEL is a newsletter. A blog which follows the local news, politics, history, culture war, with additional thoughts and commentary by a politically incorrect, former Cobb County insider.
Enjoy both separately or together.
