Another CC Commissioner Casino Related Land Scam???

KM’s Midpines Recycling Center Closed for Safety Concerns!!?? Another “I Smell a Rat” Moment?? Official Report and Source Report “gossip” added in and forwarded by Robert A

The Midpines Recycling Center (and Trash Dump) near Kings Mountain was officially shut down by the Cleveland County Commissioners this past Thursday over some “suspected” public-safety concerns. This location near Kings Mountain was subject to heavy use for years. Now, the gates are shut and locked while some so-called “testing” is being conducted by somebody not yet disclosed.

Commissioner Chairman Kevin Gordon was quoted by Newsbreak as saying:

“The safety of our citizens is a top priority,” said Kevin Gordon, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. “We understand the inconvenience this may cause; however, it was important that the county acted immediately to ensure the well-being of those visiting the site.”

Newsbreak also reported that county officials became concerned that the structural integrity of the Midpines concrete surfaces of the driving and dumping areas had become compromised. This is strange since Midpines has operated for years and years and the failure mode for concrete slabs is by cracking and settling over time. It would be unusual for cracked concrete to fail catastrophically like the Commissioners are implying, unless major waterflows under the concrete had significantly eroded the underlying soil and rocks. Such underground waterflows would have normally been noticed years ago. Robert A smells a rat in what is going on here.

One reason that Robert A smells a rat here is because recent activity regarding the Catawba Casino, and Casinos in general, by the NC General Assembly is to legalize and even recruit casinos all across North Carolina. Previously, only Native Americans-Indians-on their own tribal lands and under their own government, by treaty, with the US Government could vote to own and operate gambling Casinos. Now, it seems, anybody that wants to construct and operate a casino can do so by only complying with NC State laws. Making the Catawba Indian Nation’s involvement unnecessary with the final construction and operation of the Catawba Casino near Kings Mountain. Heck, the Cosa Nostra folks out of New York or Las Vegas could do the very same thing. If the Cleveland County Commissioners or a North Carolina Government Agency would only give them a Casino License and a Building Permit.

Hey, every registered voter in Cleveland County and perhaps all across North Carolina have already received Political Mailers, put-out by a group called Faith Wins America, urging voters to contact their state representatives immediately and urge them to vote NO on Casinos and Poker Parlors. In North Carolina. Research shows that the NC General Assembly has a Casino vote already in the works for an official vote of approval expected soon, if not already. The NC General Assembly leadership is telling folks that a Casino in all the poorer areas of NC will bring prosperity to those areas. Although history records (And the Bible too) that “gambling” is a vice that often leads to financial and personal tragedy. Something that poor and financially strapped folks already have too much of.

Now that “rat” Robert A has been smelling regarding the Commissioners closing the Midpines Recycling Center has been verified. A source report has already come-in stating there are secret plans amongst the Cleveland County inside wheeling and dealing folks to build a direct privately owned shuttle service and private parking areas to the Kings Mountain Casino from a remote location not too far away along a private corridor mostly already owned by the wheelers and dealers. With the Midpines facility directly in the proposed route. The Wheelers and Dealers want that Midpines facilities-cheap. And the so-called safety-related shutdown of Midpines, plus some lies and deceptions by the Wheelers and Dealers with the Commissioners could result in the Wheeling and Dealing folks to pick up that Midpines parcel cheap.

Heck, with these present Commissioners, Kevin Gordon, Johnny Hutchins, Ronnie Whetstine, Deg Hardin and Doug Bridges; they may even pay the Wheeling and Dealing folks lots of cash to take Midpines; lock, stock and barrel. Especially if there is a Communist Chinese investor in the mix. Or maybe Eddie Holbrook and his band of rogue land sharks that are already secretly established in Guilford County in Maida Rensen’s secret investor’s money hidey-hole. And with the American Legion World Series just starting, everybody in Cleveland County will be distracted and never know that they have been embezzled.
Well, NOT everybody will be distracted. Robert A has his eyes wide open. Hey you “betterkm” folks. Check-out this Midpines shutdown for yourselves. There may be a Kings Mountain Elected Official or two mixed up in this latest potential land-scamming shenanigan. Let us all know if you find out anything. And vice-versa.

In the meantime, we will see all y’all bamboozled Cleveland County and Kings Mountain folks in the funny papers. Along with Alley Oop, Beetle Bailey and Sargent Snorkel. Or, better yet, in the Sports pages. Nothing in Cleveland County distracts peoples’ attention than the Sports pages. The recent vandalism at Burns High School proves that beyond any doubt.
