Jackson Jambalaya

I believe that was the Soviet national anthem playing in the background

Hopefully things will improve with the new mayoer, but I have my doubts. I've been waiting 2 months for the city public works dept to fix the water leak in my neighbor's yard that is draining into mine, meanwhile my yard is a swamp and bullfrogs have moved in because of the leak. If I have to wait any longer the Corps of Engineers will probably declare my yard a wetland/protected habitat.

10:50, It wasn't Trump's inauguration, so I don't think that was the Russian anthem you heard.

11:00. Is that your neighbor's water line or the city's? If it is on the house side of the meter, it belongs to the neighbor and is his responsibility to fix it.

Excellent point 12:02! However I'm pretty sure that it's the old Soviet anthem. I'm going to assume he didn't know that or that he's a Marxist!

Give it up 12:02, that tune is worn out. The only one cutting deals with the Russians was Obama.

That was, indeed, the Soviet national anthem playing in the background. Unf***ing believable. Except, it is if anyone listened to him.

Hahahahaha. Amateur Hour continues at Jackson City Hall.

Between the rousing music and the "amens" all that was said was a bunch of NOTHING. We can look back four years from now and Jackson will actually be WORSE off. Guaranteed.

Higher crime, worse infrastructure, and a smaller tax base.

Why?

Simply because this man has no ideas or even a clue of how to bring people together. Instead, he will divide, just like his father did. The "us" vs "them" dialogue will continue.

What a shame.

It is the old Soviet anthem.

Jackson just hired their own Obama and the results will be just as abysmal.

You don't need a city clean up day BabyChok, you need your citizens to clean up after themselves every damn day. Good luck with that.

If they actually did play the old soviet anthem, then than solidifies the fact that "they" would like the Marxist way of government where yours is theirs and share equally no matter how hard or how little you worked...but wait, that's happening now.

Fretting about Jackson city government from people who voted to entrust Donald Trump with nuclear weapons? It will never cease to entertain.

I was takin' a trip out to LA
Toolin' along in my Chevrolet
Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio

Jes' as I cross the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to go

Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight
So I jes' limped down the shoulder on the rim

I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
A kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me

Well they all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick
So I jes' reached out an' kicked ol' green-teeth right in the knee

He let out a yell that'd curl your hair
But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
And said watch him folks 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man

Well you may not know it but this man's a spy
He's an undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan

He was still bent over holdin' on to his knee
But everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me
And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went

I said would you beleive this man has gone as far
As tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGoveren for president

Well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags
I betcha he's even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage

He's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys
He may look dumb but that's jus a disguise
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage

I think I'm gonna re-route my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to LA via Omaha!

July 4, 2017 at 3:21 PM = Yaawwwwwwnnnn, Sssnooorrrreeee, ZZZZZZzzzzzz

I thought the commentators on here were crazy, but that is the old Soviet anthem playing in the video at the 8:30 mark...


Holy .

stalin would be proud..

You sure? I think it's "The Internationale" The international anthem of socialism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGqMMpMkKXs

The song is called the Hymn of the Soviet Union. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x72w_69yS1A

The funny (and tragic) thing is, most of the dipshits that voted for BabyChok don't have any idea what the Soviet Union was (or may become again).

And I suppose the commentors at 12:51 and 3:21 forgot how Bill and Hillary personally benefited from selling out the United States to the Russians. I also like how BabyChok said that Jackson Mississippi has been where some of the most horrible suffering in the world has happened...this guy is going to be trouble for all of "us".

Before the young mayor turns this place into "the progressive new San Francisco East" he might want to ride through west Jackson TONITE. It sounds like Baghdad
during shock and awe. The wonderful people of this hellhole have decided to put on a display of automatic and semi-automatic weaponry to celebrate either national independence or Antar's new regime. It doesn't matter. The older citizens with a little money to spend are getting the hell out or dying out, and the younger professionals are avoiding this hellhole like the plague. If he can't bring some sense of law and order to thousands of people who simply don't get the concept of self-control, Jackson will continue it's spiral into oblivion, and his plans for "co-operative" economics will be just so much academic chatter.

You haven't seen anything yet. Google "People's Summit" that was held in Chicago. It's underwritten by MoveOn and the new mayor is a shining and upcoming star with that group.

Also, at his swearing in he had attendees take the "People's Oath", which reminds me of a cult.

Man, Jackson in doomed. It is officially Third World.

Wow. Chokwe wasn't lying when he said there wouldn't be any learning curve going in. They were ready to hit the ground running. It's not even the end of Day 2 and the sumbitch has already got every feral cat in the city of Jackson saying "Mao"!

Well, we made the Hayride: If you Want To See The Growth Of The Third World Here At Home, Go To Jackson -July 4th, 2017

Where did this video originate? The quality is poor and I suspect the music was added as no one plays music while someone is speaking.
I'm not sure how thanking your family and those who worked to get you elected, a bit of humor, and saying you want the city to do well should be alarming, but clearly it's triggered paranoia in most of those commenting.

I noticed that the truck in which the new mayor is riding in the back (illegally by the way according to new state law) does not have a tag. Not only is that illegal but it means the owner is not paying any taxes toward city improvements and schools. I wonder if it belongs to the new mayor or some other Jackson citizen.

@7:12 Exactly. These folks are so anxious and ready to name call and mud sling instead of being supportive of this new administration they can't even be bothered to realize that this music has clearly been added to the video. Always screaming "fake news" but not recognizing it when it's right there in their faces.
Shame on you Kingfish for perpetuating the foolishness.
I wish the city of Jackson - and her detractors - the best.

Always funny when commenters self-kudo their own previous comments.

If you have ever watched John Milius's 1984 version of Red Dawn, that is the same tune the Soviets played as they lined up the American civilians and executed them, when the Americans began singing "America the Beautiful" way off key, right before they were gunned down.

This really is ridiculous. WAPT had the original unaltered speech on their site. I'm usually a JJ fan, but this was some CNN level fact check fail.

http://www.wapt.com/article/lumumba-to-take-oath-of-office/10253701

Wow. I had no idea what a sick person you were kingphish! Go to https://m.facebook.com/ElectChokweLumumbaMayorOfJacksonMs/ for the live stream. Speech starts at 1:05:45. The point where you added music is at 1:13:45 (8:00 on your edited version). Maybe it is your idea of a joke, but the sick fools who read your blog actually believe this tripe! Shame on them for being fools and shame on you for pandering to divisive rhetoric.

Hey @9:18, has Antar refuted and condemned Kali Akuno's divisive rhetoric?

"Free the land. Free the land. By any means necessary "

????

Why the Russian Anthem? Are they stupid? There's no excuse for that.
Jackson MS just began swirling the drain even faster.

Adding music to this video that wasn't played at the event = FAKE NEWS!!! Sad!

Snot Fake News, KF and JJ are a way of life. Get over it! If you thought the New Republic of Afrika and Kush had any interest in Ruski Muzik then you be wrong chile.

woah JJ...If that music was added...by you..then I just lost a lot of trust in this news blog site.

please address this.

9:53, he has refuted it. Said Akuno is no advisor to him at all. In fact, he will tell anybody who asks him that (other journalists), but they have to ask him first.

I don't know if Kingfish ever did actually reach out to him on that (or other) stories. You know, both sides and all.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he does nothing the next 4 years.

His preachy style and repeating his lines 2-3 times is already grating on my nerves. I don't need a preacher, I need someone to fix the massive pothole on my street that I have to dodge every morning when I back out of my driveway and I need someone to investigate my $4,000 water bill and tell me that it is something besides a leak.

Now that the Holy Days are over, can we combine all the Lumumba threads, push them to the bottom and get on with some news of general interest? The bonfire that is Jackson is getting boring.

Said Akuno is no advisor to him at all.

Complete BS. Lumumba has NEVER publicly repudiated Akuno and his racist divisiveness. Hell, they traveled to co-op nirvana Spain together earlier this year. Take your spin elsewhere.

What will he do for South Jackson? That's all I want to know. Is he going to repair and improve the streets and the water lines or is he going to do the same nothing that his predecessors have?
I'm betting the latter.
20 years of black leadership has done absolutely NOTHING for South Jackson.

When you get off I 55 heading east on Atkins, you will run through the road where 6 or 8 weeks ago, they stripped the asphalt obviously to repave. Then we had an election. Apparently the city road dept. decided they don't need to work until told to by the next administration. What is going on??? If someone knows, please post an answer (excuse).

Antar Lumumba is going to install solar
panels on top of every street light in
Jackson and sell the electricity back
to Entergy. Believe that?

12:47PM BabyChok and Kali Akuno went there last December.

But close enough.

Brother Kali IS the puppet master no matter how strenuously BabyChok's minions try to say otherwise.

Ok, time to put some of you out of your misery. Read the top of this website? What does it say? Underneath "Jackson Jambalaya". Kingfish had a little bit of fun in adding the Soviet National Anthem and the Workers Internationale song to the speech. What the Kingfish didn't count on was some of you being so damn gullible. Did you chowderheads really think that Mayor Lumumba would add that stuff to what was a serious speech? Yeesh. I had some fun with him as he started spouting that Free the Land by any means necessary mantra at the end of the speech and he has quoted Marxists before. Of course, some of you think he is some bomb-throwing Muslim terrorist just because he has an African name. Newsflash: He is a Christian. There are Christians in Africa. Do some research. You might be shocked at how many Christians are in Africa who are actually -dare I say it- black. Hope I didn't scare you. Of course, this is Mississippi where traveling abroad means crossing Lake Pontchartrain.

However, it is a new day and new term. He is now The Man, The Boss, Imperious Rex. So far he has been nothing but professional. He will immediately start with the budget. That tends to sober things up pretty quickly although it had no effect on Frank Melton -as if anything did. I don't care who he is quoting as long as he fixes the roads, does something about the water system, and keeps up the fight against crime while running his government in an ethical manner. He is enjoying a great deal of good will right now and we can all hope that he makes the best use of it.

As for reaching out to him, well, let's just say I am probably on their blacklist. I asked them to include me for their press releases and emails about the inauguration. No dice. His father's administration would not return my phone calls or emails. They refused to send me press releases. They ignored my public records requests for police reports until my attorney contacted the City Attorney and informed her she was about to get sued and would be paying his fees. Only other person who has treated this website in that manner is the current Sheriff of Hinds County.

Great, now what am I gonna do with all the supplies in my bunker?

Dunno but Sales Tax Commish approved that project last year.

Kingfish:

Does Choke Jr. believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America?

Inquiring minds want to know

That song was added. There was no music playing during the Mayor's speech. So you can stop with the foolish comments as if it was reality.

No, actually 4:46 we can keep up with the comments as long as we like and as often as KF will allow.

Now let's talk about his pointy beard. What's up with that? Is Antar trying to resemble Vladimir Lenin?

Lumumba is already discriminating against taxpaying business in Jackson? C'mon on, is anyone truly surprised?

Sadly, the truth is Kingphish got his ass caught and had no intention of owning up until he was outed. If nobody had suspected something was afoot and questioned music during a speech, do you think the King would have admitted his tom-foolery? Nope.

Got his ass caught? By whom? Doing what?

Its okay that you are new here but spare us the holier-than-thou act.

Several decades business owner in Jackson.. If I could leave I would... but can't afford to get out of town... rent's too cheap. Relative I know. And it's not just Lumumba, although he's the final cap. Would've done it long before now if I could. The city AND the county (such as appraisers) have it in for you - and yes, I take it personal. Their attitude when they're looking over your stuff is "tough.. payback"..

Screw em, I'll move or shudder in the near future.

"Got his ass caught? By whom? Doing what?"

By whom: By those several people who questioned whether there was actually music being played during the solemn ceremony. For quite some time people were debating the name of the musical selection and whether or not it was an official Russian anthem. You were all lost in the high weeds on that one. Then, out of the blue, he was spotlighted, caught....adding music where none was present before. Bam! Caught!

Doing What: Editing the tape of the solemn proceedings by adding music later determined to be similar to a Russian dance jig from a century or more ago.

Do try to keep up 8:37.

Jackson Jambalaya: A website of news, commentary, culture, & jackassery in the Jackson, Mississippi area.

If you don't like how the proprietor operates his business you are free to take your anonymous butt elsewhere. He wasn't "caught" doing anything.

Do try to get a clue 3:15.

@ Kingfish

That post at 1:55 is what is sorely lacking from major new outlets today.

People do not know or understand how to take information with discerning eyes and ears.

Kudos to you for doing the right thing.

KF, you made your point. The gullible did fall for it.
But, I fear you missed the cost.
Do you see the comments after you explained?
Few commenters actually read your explanation.
Worse, quite a few will only have watched the altered video and that is now their reality.
Citizens are unable to differentiate between " fake news" and actual news because they do not check facts or question anything that reinforces what they want to believe.
And, I don't know about you, but I have some well educated, otherwise smart and kind friends who are believing absolutely outrageous things that ought to be obviously questionable, just as this piece was.
That bodes ill for this Nation.

Our long-time reader is back, showing his usual comprehension problems and tantrums as well. Looks like I'll have to add a Kingfish note that explains this to the gullible .

I remember after 9/11 getting into a huge argument with a friend. It seems a claim that Oliver North warned Congress about Osama Bin Laden was making the internet rounds. Just one problem. It wasn't true. It was Abu Nidal. I had the videotape as I watched the hearings back then but taped them because they took place while I was at school and we didn't have Youtube back then. Didn't matter what I said, I was wrong. It had to be true because it was so fantastic. Friend got really upset over this. I have run into this same thing over and over since then and its gotten worse over the last few years thanks to social media.

There was a report on WLBT last night of right-of-way mowing and pot-hole filling going on yesterday, after being ignored for a long time. Maybe this is a harbinger of things to come.

KF hope he is not a "Christian" like his father who claimed in an CL article that he thought Christ's resurrection was an allegory and nothing more

During the recent Presidential election, all the candidates seemed to have "their songs" (sleazy, radio-friendly Pop garbage from decades past) playing at all their rallies.

So truly - hearing music which was actually appropriate for an inauguration (aside from its history - a history perfectly compatible with the Jackson-Kush Plan, I might add), did not seem at all odd, to me.

Yes, it would have been stupid to deliver a speech with music playing. But then, we're talking about Jackson, Mississippi, where LOUDNESS & STUPIDITY are the norm. The only thing that struck me as odd, was the choice of that particular song. I just assumed that the person in charge of the Inauguration, picked the prettiest song off a CD called something like "TIME LIFE Presents the World's Most Inspiring Anthems", without thinking about little details like the title. Or maybe they thought "nobody will know the what it is, but us insiders."

Frankly, nobody familiar with Jackson, would be truly surprised by ANYTHING that happens there (unless it's something good...).

I need to gtfo. This town has sucked for a long time and now it's become increasingly dangerous even to drive here.

West Texas beckons and I must heed that Sirens call.

This is the beginning of the end for the city of Jackson and all y'all do is complain and no action. I think its time for us to take some action. Its time for us to have our own candidate and stand up to these socialist crooks and take our city back. Its our faults in the first place for letting these people into power and moving out of the city.
