Georgia Black Farmers Win Lawsuit
PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Selma, AL July 13, 2009
Black Farmers Awarded Over $14 Million,
Biggest Award Ever In Long Running Lawsuit
After a 10-year struggle, Black Farmers in Georgia were awarded $12,789,162 plus an undetermined sum for debt relief based on discrimination by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Reverend Charles Sherrod, one of the leading Black Farmers in the case, said, “Thank God this is finally over and Justice is done. Attorney Sanders never stopped fighting for us. Now we can move on to fulfill our dream.”
Shirley Sherrod who works for the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, a farming organization that helps Black Farmers, and a leader in the case, said, “Losing the farm killed our dream turning it into a long nightmare. Now we can breath new life in the dream.” Rose M. Sanders, attorney for the Black Farmers, said, “It was such a long hard fight. This decision makes all the long hard hours worked and years of waiting and fighting worth it.”
The awardee was New Communities, Inc., a non-profit corporation near Albany , Georgia led by Reverend Charles Sherrod and Shirley Sherrod, long time civil rights leaders starting in the sixties. There were a number of families making up the New Communities Corporation. The group purchased nearly 6,000 acres in 1969 and 1970. As a result of the discrimination by USDA, they loss 4,387 acres in the eighties. The award included $8,247,560 for loss of land, $4,241,601 for loss of farm income and $300,000 for mental anguish to Charles Sherrod and Shirley Sherrod. It also included debt relief estimated at more than a million dollars.
The discrimination occurred way back in 1981, 1982 and 1983. The award was part of the Black Farmers lawsuit now known as Pigford v. Vilsack, a class action commenced in 1998. This is the largest award by far that any single claimant received in the lawsuit. The New Communities claim was tried by arbitration in 2002. The initial arbitration ruled against New Communities and was appealed. The two-step appeal took some seven years.
Attorney Sanders said, “We as attorneys will not receive one penny from the nearly $13 million dollars award. Every penny goes to New Communities except for $300,000 which goes to Charles and Shirley Sherrod. We will have to try to get some attorney fees from the Government but that is always a problem.”
Some 15, 000 Black Farmers have been collectively awarded nearly a billion dollars in the long running Pigford lawsuit. Most of the awards were in the $50,000 range. The New Communities award dwafts any other single award by a huge margin.

Louis Farrakhan: Michael Jackson Wanted to Regain His Own Position from Slaughter of Wicked Propaganda, Tour was to be His Last
Louis Farrakhan: Michael Jackson Wanted to Regain His Own Position from Slaughter of Wicked Propaganda, Tour was to be His Last

With tears in his eyes the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam in the United States of America, said Michael Jackson was his brother whom he knew well as a fighter who wanted to regain his own position from what he described as a wicked propaganda campaign leveled against him for so long.
At the end of an exclusive interview he gave to the weekly The Tripoli Post on Saturday in Tripoli, Libya, Mr. Farrakhan tearfully said "that is my brother. I knew him well. I love him much. He gave the world much and he’s gone too soon."
However, Mr. Farrakhan said Michael Jackson was never left alone by those who feared he would become Muslim and turn millions toward Islam.
Farrakhan said Michael Jackson's planned English tour was to be his last. "He went to England and said 'This is It'."
The tour was to be Michael's last battle which, according to Minister Farrakhan, he was to win it and then he was not to do tours anymore.
"I want you to watch his militant stand when he said 'This Is It'," Farrakhan said.
"He raised his fist because Michael was ready to fight, to regain his own position from the slaughter of wicked propaganda from those who feared Michael would become Muslim and turn millions toward Islam," Mr. Farrakhan told The Tripoli Post.
When asked how black and white America would view Michael Jackson's legacy, Minister Louis Farrakhan said "he was a man whose art, transcended race, culture, religious persuasion, ethnicity, his culture and his art united people of all races, all ethnic groups, and all religious affiliations."
"He was a magnificent soul, tortured, because he felt he never really had a childhood," Minister Farrakhan added.
Because of a skin disease, Farrakhan said, Michael Jackson went from black to white in what he described as a painful journey. "That was his awkward journey, but inwardly he was journeying from white to black," the Minister stressed.
Farrakhan said Michael Jackson was disappointed when two famous film directors, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, and his other Jewish friends, refused to help him promote and produce his vision to show black people in America their actual heritage.
"Listen, Michael told me personally that he wanted to show Africans not in the way that Hollywood showed Africa with bones and noses, that they, I would say, the crude part of African culture. He wanted to show Africa as the mother and the father of civilization," Farrakhan said.
"When they refused him, he said I would do it myself," he added.
Minister Farrakhan strongly defended Michael Jackson against accusation of child abuse leveled at him in 1993.
"Michael Jackson, this is Farrakhan talking, never bothered children. Michael Jackson loved children. Michael Jackson took his money and built Neverland with all these rides, bomber cars etc. I went there as his guest and took some of my security people, and while I was talking with Michael in a private session, they were on the bomber cars enjoying something they may be never experienced in their childhood," the Honorable Minister Farrakhan told The Tripoli Post.
"When you go up in his theatre, he had a special place for children that were disabled, children that were under medication where they could lay with their IVs and look through a glass at the movies that were being shown.
"This is not a man who hated children to the point that he would ruin their lives sexually. This is a man who felt comfortable with children because children are not deceptive. He felt comfortable with animals not with grown up human beings who have hurt him all his life," Farrakhan added.
"But as a Muslim, I told his brother Jamine: Allah who gives life and Allah is the ultimate cause of death, and Allah says in the Qur’an, “wherever a misfortune befalls a believer, the believer says: Allah is my patron and to him is my eventual return,” concluded Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Was there Foul play in MJ's Death?
WAS THERE ANY FOUL PLAY IN THE DEATH OF MICHAEL JACKSON?Share
Yesterday at 11:30pm
Call this another conspiracy theory of Mr.Carlos Muhammad of Luv4self but I smell foul play. This facebook page may end up deleted after this but that is irrelevant to me. THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD regardless of the consequences.Some of you may be in denial that the reality existed that some people were REALLY upset with Michael Jackson and worked deliberately to discredit him...trump up charges on him and even paid off people to make negative comments regarding his personal life. Michael Jackson WAS becoming more politically aware and conscious and his ALLEGED affiliation with THE NATION OF ISLAM was even a concern to some. Draw your own conclusions, do your own research but I have added a few articles just to show the climate that Michael Jackson was dealing with.
I SMELL FOUL PLAY...maybe it's just me. Maybe I lost my mind but as soon as I heard that Michael Jackson was dead I felt something didn't add up.
Read the following articles and leave some comments and let me know your opinion...that is IF YOU'RE NOT SCARED.

New York Times Covers Up Islam Reference in Jermaine Jackson Farewell to Michael Jackson
As media outlets have reported, Jermaine Jackson had the following farewell message to his late brother, Michael Jackson: "May Allah be with you always." Watch for yourself here.
But strangely, the NY Times omits the "Allah" reference altogether and instead reports that Jermaine said, "May our love be with you always." Ah, the New York Times -- what would we do without The Paper of Record?
And, I'm not holding my breath, but let's see if any of the tributes for this child-molesting, drug-abusing psychopath mention that he was also a raving anti-Semite, who had this to say about Jews in 2003: "They suck... they're like leeches... It's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose." Not to mention Jackson's 1995 song They Don't Care About Us, which contained the following anti-Semitic slurs: "Jew me, sue me, everybody do me/ Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me."
No wonder Michael Jackson converted to Islam in his later years and also became affiliated with the Nation of Islam.
He was a great musician, but this creep will not be missed.

ADL OUTRAGED THAT MICHAEL JACKSON HAS REINSTATED ANTI-SEMITIC LYRICS INTO VIDEO VERSION OF "THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US"
Palm Beach, FL, February 9, 1996...
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed outrage that Michael Jackson has reinstated anti-Semitic lyrics into his song "They Don't Care About Us" for its video release. Mr. Jackson had assured ADL last June that he would re-record the song to eliminate the offensive lyrics.
"We were outraged to see Michael Jackson perform the song with the anti-Semitic lyrics on a nationally syndicated television show," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "We had taken Mr. Jackson at his word that the anti-Semitic lyrics were deleted from the song."
After ADL protested the lyrics, "Jew me, Sue me" and "Kick me, Kike me," in the song which was released as part of the album HIStory, Mr. Jackson wrote to Mr. Foxman on June 22 saying, "...I have chosen to re-record it ["They Don't Care About Me"], deleting the words found offensive." In the letter to ADL, Mr. Jackson said, "I acknowledge that I seriously offended some people which was never my intention and for that I am deeply sorry... I have come to understand over the past days that these words are considered anti-Semitic...I sincerely hope that anyone offended by my words will forgive me for not recognizing this sooner."
"We accepted your apology, and we assumed that the video would conform with our understanding. Apparently we were wrong...," Mr. Foxman wrote to Mr. Jackson on February 6.
"Anti-Semitism and racism have no more place in the entertainment business than they do in the rest of society," Mr. Foxman added. "...with the release of such a video, instead of remaining a spokesman against hate and prejudice, you have made a decision which reinforces intolerance."
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

Michael Jackson Has "An Anti-Semitic Streak" -- Tape Shows He Hasn't Learned From Past Mistakes
New York, NY, November 23, 2005 …
Reacting to revelations that Michael Jackson referred to Jews as "leeches" in a voicemail to a former business manager, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today said the pop music icon "has an anti-Semitic streak" and hasn't learned from his past mistakes, including the use of anti-Semitic epithets in a 1995 song he wrote.
In tapes aired yesterday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Mr. Jackson was heard saying of Jews, "They suck … They're like leeches. … I'm so tired of it … It is a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
Michael Jackson has an anti-Semitic streak, and hasn't learned from his past mistakes. It seems every time he has a problem in his life, he blames it on Jews. It is sad that Jackson is infected with classically stereotypical ideas of Jews as all-powerful, money-grubbing and manipulative.
We had hoped that Jackson would have learned from his mistakes. While he apologized for, and later removed the anti-Jewish lyrics in "They Don't Care About Us," it is clear now that he never was able to completely remove the bigotry from his own heart.
It is important now for Mr. Jackson to stand up and acknowledge that his words are hurtful and hateful. He needs to show his fans that he rejects bigotry and is truly serious about stamping out, in his words, "the ugliness of racism, anti-Semitism and stereotyping." This can only begin with an apology to Jews everywhere, especially those fans who have been deeply hurt and offended by his words.
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting Antisemitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT THE ADL (Anti-Defamation League)

ugly truth about adl.gif (103716 bytes)
Despite its reputation as a well oiled and effective public relations organization, many consider the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith (ADL) to be one of the most dangerous organizations in the world.
With a reported average annual budget of a little bit over 48-million dollars, the ADL has often used its considerable clout and connections to silence any voices who dare to stand against their lobbying tactics or tacit yet active approval of thought repression.
The ADL has repeatedly capitalized on the fact that most Americans believe what they see and hear at face value by conducting some of the most vile and reprehensible smear campaigns ever.
Increasingly, with the use of the Internet many more scandalous and shocking revelations are being made known by individuals and organizations that care more about the principles of truth than they do about being labeled.
There aren’t many with in depth knowledge of the shady formation and unsavory characters involved in what is the modern representation of the ADL. The editors of the Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) have delivered a significant amount of information in a small yet compelling book titled "The Ugly Truth About the ADL."
The San Francisco Spy Scandal in 1994 showed the public what many of us have already known and that is that the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith acts as a spy organization supplying intelligence data to foreign governments and delivering damaging information -- often fabricated or intentionally altered -- to enemies of those deemed to be their opponents.
More often that not, the opponents of the ADL are those who stand in defense of freedom of speech and are not afraid to criticize the ADL’s tactics, information gathering stratagem, or object to what we at the TEI refer to as specious claims of anti-Semitism hurled so effectively and indiscriminately by the ADL in defense of their selfish economic or political interests.
The book begins with a swift yet tidy analysis of the above-mentioned San Francisco spy scandal in which the ADL was found to be guilty of spying on hundreds of political, human rights and religious organizations, maintaining files and dossiers on their organizational memberships and leaders.
They were also said to be infiltrating countless law enforcement agencies, bribing law enforcement officials, and obtaining classified data on private citizens.
Far from being an isolated incident of impropriety, further research found the ADL to be guilty of providing information on anti-Apartheid groups to agents of the apartheid government of South Africa possibly resulting in the mysterious disappearance of many anti-Apartheid activists. The same modus operandi was used to harness Arab activism in America and abroad. Israeli authorities have repeatedly shown their propensity for violence through assassination of their enemies, and in some cases, their friends, outright either by their military, or surreptitiously through their Mossad agents and operatives.
All of the above information is presented in the foreword to the book, which should give you an indication of the EIR’s thorough treatment of the subject.
