The Myrtle Beach Tea Party’s 2018 convention was held on January 20-22, with national issues discussed on the weekend and S.C. issues on Monday. The convention was put on by Joe Dugan, Founder and Executive Producer of the Convention; Gerri McDaniel, South Carolina State Director for the Donald Trump Campaign; and numerous volunteers. The event was held at the Crown Reef Resort which offered a great venue for the conference against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.
The conference was emceed by Donna Fiducia, former Fox News anchor, and her husband Don Neuen, who now producestheir Cowboy Logic Radio show (cowboylogic.us). They did an excellent job and helped make the conference a huge success. There was such an incredible lineup of speakers that it is impossible to do justice to the conference by writing an article, which couldn’t possibly cover all the material presented. Fortunately, Joe Dugan had the conference professionally videotaped and streamed live over the Internet, and now posted and archived on their Youtube channel. It was said that President Trump was watching some of it live. Therefore, it is highly recommended that our readers go to the Myrtle Beach Tea Party’s Youtube channel to watch the speakers at: www.youtube.com/user/teapartymovie.

Suzanne Shattuck, an ER nurse, cofounded Part of the Solution Learning, an organization to train groups and individuals in survival and self-reliance (ruggedreliance.com). She sees many problems such as rampant drug abuse in the ER, so she started her organization to train informed citizens to survive the coming trouble ahead.

Trevor Loudon, a New Zealand-born expert on marxism and socialism, then spoke about how Donald Trump’s election was a reprieve for America, and how America is the last hope for the world. We are an inspiration and model for the world. He said that Trump can cause the collapse of the Democrats, and that what we are seeing is the Democrats’ “Tet Offensive,” and we must hold the line because they are running out of ammo.
Ambassador Henry Cooper then introduced Dr. Peter Pry. They spoke about a possible Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack or solar storm which could incapacitate America’s electrical grid. Dr. Pry showed a telegraph key from the 1800s, noting how well it was constructed, and said that in the 1859 Carrington Event, a massive global solar storm, such telegraph keys were irreparably-damaged. An EMP Commission was recently dissolved by the Deep State, after studies have predicted that 90% of Americans would die within one year of such a catastrophe due to the destruction of our electrical infrastructure.

The Sunday program ended with an enthralling speech by Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson, USAF (Ret.), who spent two years carrying the nuclear “football” for President Bill Clinton. He told firsthand of how Clinton lost the nuclear codes for possibly several months, during which America could have been annihilated. Lt. Col. Patterson finally retired in disgust and went to fly as a commercial pilot, then retired to campaign for Donald Trump. He wrote the books Dereliction of Duty and Reckless Disregard about his experiences with the Clintons and the damage to our military and national security by leftist politics.
Monday

Pastor Burns was called “Donald Trump’s Top Pastor” by Time Magazine. His Christian NOW Television Network reaches 15 million homes in the U.S. and Canada.
Ambassador Henry Cooper spoke again about efforts in S.C. to prepare for an EMP event. Due to government incompetence in dealing with this issue, he is working with Duke Energy at Lake Wylie to prepare their nuclear reactor for such a catastrophe. He said it is when, not if, such an event will occur.
An interview of the gubernatorial candidates followed, except for Gov. Henry McMaster, who was absent. A series of prepared questions was asked to each candidate separately. Lt. Gov. Kevin Bryant, Catherine Templeton, and Sen. Yancy McGill attended.
Seth Powell of Freedom Action Network of S.C. then spoke about government corruption in S.C. He said that “corruption is the core issue that we face as taxpayers and citizens in S.C.” He said that all the other issues of corruption that were discussed stem from the concentration of power in the hands of a few in S.C.
Dr. Matthew Clark, Executive Director of Personhood S.C., spoke about protecting the unborn. He noted that this very day of the conference was the 45th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, and that that Supreme Court has the blood of over 60 million babies on its hands.

Senator Tom Davis then spoke about the S.C. gas tax hike.
Jeff Davis, an accountant from Greenville talked about school choice and his efforts to get real, private school choice legislation passed in S.C.

The final speaker was Chris Carnevale of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. He spoke further about the V.C. Summer nuclear power plant fiasco. He summed it up in one sentence: “Monopolies, set up by the government, have been taxing us, killing competition, and taking away our freedom.”
All the citizens of S.C. owe a debt of gratitude to Joe Dugan, Gerri McDaniel, all the fine speakers and volunteers that made the conference such a success. Please watch their videos at youtube.com/user/teapartymovie and remember that we are in a war for the future of our great country, and thank God for sending President Trump to lead us to victory.
