CCIR Revives Gilchrist MMP Battle

[Ayatollahgondola]

I'm not in the real loop here, but I've been reading emails and posts about CCIR holding an upcoming meeting about the Gilchrist/MinuteMan Project issue. They're leveling the same old charges about financial improprieties, but with an added twist that he/they are now behind TEAParty.org.

Honestly, I don't have a clue what inspired this latest revival, but it is coincident to the death of CCIR's Barbara Coe. I don't interact with Jim much, and he hasn't contacted me recently, so I'm just left wondering. I haven't seen or read anything about Jim or MMP in the media of late either.

I did read on Chelene Nightingale's Facebook page that she's still parading her court battle with Jim as some sort of vindication of her agenda at the time. I never saw it that way. Jim sued her for defamation, and the court ruled that he couldn't be defamed because he had run for public office and therefore was a public figure open to whatever defamatory statements people wanted to make. In any case, Chelene has also revived her attack on Jim/MMP

That's all I really know at present, but I'll restate that I a bit baffled as to why this is being conjured up at this time, other than any new charges that he is at the core of any chicanery at TeaParty.org. I don't know anything about TeaParty.org either. Not now anyway
