The Georgia Hour, episode 198: Kemp's Shadow Empire: Ponzi Schemes, Senate Backstabbing, and the GOP's Georgia Meltdown

from Voice of Rural America

In this explosive Georgia-focused podcast rant, BKP exposes a web of GOP corruption and infighting threatening the state's red stronghold ahead of 2026 races. At the epicenter: Gov. Brian Kemp and his wife, Marty "Antoinette" Kemp, depicted as a power duo controlling endorsements and primaries via a vast "machine." Kemp is accused of sabotaging incumbents Buddy Carter and Mike Collins with attack ads from his Hardworking Inc. PAC—blaming them for near-shutdowns—to boost his ally, ex-Tennessee coach Derek Dooley, in the U.S. Senate primary against Jon Ossoff.Deeper scandal ties Dooley to the $140M First Liberty Building & Loan Ponzi scheme, which fleeced seniors. A 93-page receiver's report details fraudulent loans to Dooley's brother Daniel's Cure Point LLC (millions secured, now in bankruptcy dispute with a Nov. 13 evidentiary hearing looming). Shifting to chaos, a judge's 33-page smackdown guts Catoosa County GOP's "star chamber" loyalty test, barring candidates via secret ideological vetting—violating election laws. GRA's Alex Johnson vows appeal, but BKP warns it invites state seizure of party qualifying fees. No backing from Kemp or legislators; it's a self-sabotaging push toward apolitical county control.
