The Georgia Hour, episode 171: GRA Ponzi Inferno: An Ethics Tsunami

In this fiery episode of The Georgia Hour (October 2, 2025, on Voice of Royal America), BKP unleashes a blistering takedown of intertwined corruption plaguing Georgia's Republican circles, framing it as a "tangled web" of influence peddling, unreported cash flows, and ethical violations that demand immediate reckoning. BKP dives headfirst into the collapse of First Liberty Building & Loan—a Ponzi scheme run by the Frost family. He paints a vivid picture of how this "squeaky clean" facade of Sunday school prayers and high-interest lures (up to 13%) ensnared investors, including seniors, while funneling over $1 million in illicit campaign contributions to far-right causes.

BKP spotlights the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) as ground zero for the rot, urging loyal members to "get those damn people out" before complicity stains them all. He dissects a fresh Georgia Ethics Commission probe, expanded just yesterday to nail the GRA itself alongside its affiliate PAC with 61 counts of campaign finance violations—failing to report tens of thousands in expenditures like $10,000 blasts to Mobilize the Message, $15,000 to Hazlett Industries, and chunks to Minuteman Press and American Campaign Services from 2020-2024. These weren't petty sums; they were "influence" bombs dropped while Brant Frost V—then GRA member, second vice chair of the Georgia Republican Party (GRP), and state executive committee insider—allegedly whipped votes, ran clickers at conventions, and set up mics for the "apple dumpling gang" to oust BKP himself.

The host connects the dots with ruthless precision: Frost's inner circle, including ex-GRA president Nathaniel Darnell (recently terminated from Bankers Life for undisclosed ties to First Liberty and off-channel client chats, facing $1M fraud allegations), national GRA chair Alex Johnson (an attorney who greenlit shady name-lending for PAC mailers and texts), and holdovers like Sally "GrubHub" (GRA first vice chair with a confessed "tangled" relationship with Brant Frost, denying investments but dodging referral fee questions). BKP mocks Debbie "Do Naster" Dooley as a yapping litigator who flipped from Frost ally to GRA hater on cue, and offers a "respectful" on-air invite to Lt. Gov. hopeful "Greg the Weasel" to spill on rumored $2-3M First Liberty stakes—did he recoup $1M while stiffing group investors? Even the Frost women—Katie (princess-vibe sibling), Krista (mom pocketing $5K "cookie jar" checks rerouted via Kandiss Taylor's campaign), and others—get called out for badge-wearing during the scheme's peak, insisting they haven't truly resigned despite the badges.

BKP's whiteboard mantra—"influence, influence, influence"—ties it all: Frost's dual hats enabled unreported flows from Ponzi proceeds to sway GRP conventions, shadow PAC ops, and even a post-collapse pivot to Heartland Capital (now probed too). He questions if state officers like ex-GRP chair David Shafer lost big, demands open books on GRP execs (including current chair Josh McKoon), and hints at unlicensed investment pools echoing Bernie Madoff. No witch hunt, he insists—this is bipartisan scrutiny, from SEC to FBI handoffs.

Wrapping with urgency, BKP warns GRA faithful: Every day without purge looks "awful damn complicit." He teases more "albino rhino" dirt tomorrow, drops a quick aside on Dooley's fresh 15-count Barrow County defamation suit (with her vowing counters), and pivots to lighter fare—praising Warner Robins' Steak 'n Shake for grass-fed beef tallow fries and creamsicle shakes—before slamming Kentucky-pushed horse racing legalization as a kid-addiction trap, shouting out anti-gambling warrior Jeanie Seaver and the Mountain Legislative Watch for tracking bills.
