-Caveat Lector-
An illegal strike brought King to his death; in 1968 Jerry Wurf, one of
the first labor leaders to enter the CFR, invited King down for "dues
check off", for you see this is what the strike was about. Dues were
to be taken out directly from one's paycheck; now the sanitation
departments around the country under AFSCME run the Unions and I saw
that first hand.
This story on Jesse Jackson has been polished up; for some say this is
not his real name...like King, and Clinton, and Ford and Ehud Barak,
and Ariel Sharon, and Jesse Ventura that is not his real name.. we got
here more blbical stuff "I will give you a new name".........and
Hitler, that was not his real name for Churchill and Wild Bill Donovan
believed Hitler was Jewish.....he sure used OT rituals.
My old boss Stanley Petrosky, knew Jerry Wurf in New York City - he was
a known communist. The Reuther brothers detested communism - look what
happened to Walter - have his funeral program sent to me by friend, and
it did a lot of quoting from Daniel for those that be knew this man was
murdered.
Jesse lied about being with King when he died; he liked about many thing
- do not think he lied about the fact he was a bastard but he did lie
about his two bastard children.
HIs credentials were questionable to say the least and this civil rights
movment attempted to bring the Space Program to a halt.
I believe it will be the white man who will return to their own planet
someday, from whence they came.....leave this Planet of the Apes for it
is dying.
Look at the cities, Jackie Kennedy said before she died - look at the
cities - her children were not safe to play in Central Park.....once she
was approached by a woman who said "your mother is a witch - she did not
weep"; shades of Job.....
Glad Jackie did not leave to see her only son murdered as was his father
by the same secret society.
There were men who stood by Jackson who claimed they were sick and tired
of this Jesus being stuck down their throats;
you call Jesse a real American who loves to run to his commrades for
favors?
Cities have been going black for a long long time; but you may be
assured Jesse Jackson would feel more at home in Africa working for
Mugabee perhaps? Imagine he would chip in and dig the graves for the
white farmers who have ben mutilated and whose wives were raped by AIDS
infested blacks - these farmers had fed these people now they scream
food, we need corn. I would send them some of that genetially
engineered stuff the CFR and Kissinger tries to pass off on us pore
white folk who are fed up with - well after all, the white man did
invent Civil Rights?
Maybe its about time we changec the law for it seems to apply only to
the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons - the former with two known bastards
running about and the latter living in $1200.00 donated suits.
Remember the little Church in Indianapolis? Sounds like they might
have a good case of discrimination for it is obvious this is a Church
the ADL no doubt had on their hit hate list, as the work along the sides
of the road agitating race riots, and at the same time providing money
to bribe public officials?
Militias - Christians - Whites - Moslems - all are on the ADL Hit Hate
List......lets send all these big rich Jesse Jacksons down to Palm
Springs - now the Great Farrakhan is right - give the blacks their own
space - for it might be a while before the ancient astronauts will
return home to their fathers?
So suddenly Jesse's hush money has been stopped? Well $3,000 a month
was pretty heavy child support and of course Jesse could not afford that
on a mere $120,000 per year.....does that man have a Church?
Intesting item not totally accurate; but guess who invited King to his
death where he died for "dues check off", for this is was primary
objective of this march - who got the room for King?
Why did King die timed to a bible calendar playing a role of a Moses -
climbed Mt. Nebo an was knocked off at summit before he took the big
fall?
Today is May Day - Marxist Day - Happy Marxist Day Joshua - Dr Poley
wanted to know who the hell Joshua was - seems he does not recall thy
name, asshole.

RELATED INFO
Jackson, Jesse (Louis) 1941 -- Civil rights leader. Born Jesse Louis
Jackson on October 18, 1941, in Greenville, South Carolina, a city beset
with the problems of racial segregation. From birth, Jackson faced his
own personal brand of discrimination. As a young girl his mother, Helen
Burns, became pregnant by her married next-door neighbor, Noah Robinson.
The young boy was shunned and taunted by his neighbors and school
classmates for being "a nobody who had no daddy." Instead of letting
this adversity defeat him, Jackson developed his exceptional drive and
empathy for the oppressed. His mother eventually married and became a
successful hairdresser while his stepfather, a postal employee, adopted
Jackson in 1957. With helpful advice from his maternal grandmother and
his own desire to succeed, Jackson overcame his numerous childhood
insecurities, finishing tenth in his high school class, even though he
was actively involved in sports. His academic and athletic background
earned Jackson a football scholarship at the University of Illinois in
Chicago. Jackson, eager to get away from the Southern racial climate,
traveled north only to find both open and covert discrimination at the
university and in other parts of the city.
After several semesters Jackson decided to leave the University of
Illinois, return to the South, and attend North Carolina Agricultural
and Technical College (A&T) in Greensboro, an institution for African
American students. Jackson again proved himself an able scholar and
athlete. When his popularity on the campus led to his victory as student
body president, Jackson did not take the responsibility lightly. As a
college senior, he became a civil rights leader. Although he was not in
Greensboro when the four African American freshman from A&T staged their
famous Woolworth's sit-in in February 1960--the action which launched
sit-down demonstrations throughout the South--Jackson actively
encouraged his fellow students to continue their protests against racial
injustice by staging repeated demonstrations and boycotts. Much of the
open discrimination in the South fell before the onslaught of these
student demonstrations.
Civil Rights Movement
In the spring of 1968 many of SCLC's officers--including Jackson--were
drawn away from other civil rights protests by the Memphis, Tennessee,
garbage collectors' strike. The situation in that city was especially
tense because many African Americans who professed to be tired of
passive resistance were willing and ready to fight. Tragically, King, in
his attempt to prevent racial violence in that city, met a violent death
by an assassin's bullet while standing on the balcony of his hotel room
on April 4, 1968.
Some controversy surrounds the moments just after King was wounded.
Jackson claimed on national television that he was the last person to
talk to King and that he had held the dying leader in his arms, getting
blood all over his shirt. The other men present unanimously agreed that
this was not true, that Jackson had been in the parking lot facing King
when he was shot and had neither climbed the steps to the balcony
afterward nor gone to the hospital with King. Whatever the truth of the
matter, Jackson's appearance on national television the next day with
his bloodied turtleneck jersey vaulted him into national prominence. The
image of Jackson and his bloody shirt brought the horror of the
assassination into American homes. Jackson's ego, stirring oratory and
charismatic presence caused the media to anoint him and not Ralph
Abernathy, King's successor. Many observers believe that at this point,
Jackson determined to become heir to King's position as the nation's
foremost African American leader. In 1971, Jackson was suspended from
the SCLC after its leaders claimed that he was using the organization to
further his own personal agenda.
Operation PUSH
After his suspension from the SCLC, Jackson founded Operation PUSH
(People United to Save Humanity), an organization which essentially
continued the work of Operation Breadbasket without SCLC's sponsorship.
Standing in front of a picture of Dr. King, Jackson promised to begin "a
rainbow coalition of blacks and whites gathered together to push for a
greater share of economic and political power for all poor people in
America." Throughout the decade, Jackson relentlessly spoke out against
racism, militarism and the class divisions in American. He became a
household name throughout the nation with his slogan "I Am Somebody".
By the mid 1970's, Jackson was a national figure. He realized that many
of the problems plaguing the African American community stemmed from
drug abuse and teen pregnancy and not simply economic deprivation. In
1976, Jackson created the PUSH-Excel, a program aimed at motivating
children and teens to succeed. A fiery orator, Jackson traveled from
city to city delivering his message of personal responsibility and
self-worth to students: "You're not a man because you can kill somebody.
You are not a man because you can make a baby...You're a man only if you
can raise a baby, protect a baby and provide for a baby."
Jackson's support in the African American community allowed him to
influence both local and national elections. Possibly the most important
campaign in which he was involved was the election victory of the first
African- American mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington, in 1983.
Washington's victory was attributed in part to Jackson's ability to
convince over 100,000 African Americans, many of them youths, to
register to vote. Jackson would also use his charisma to garner new
voters during his 1984 campaign for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
The Rainbow Coalition
Jackson's debut on the international scene occurred when President Jimmy
Carter approved his visit to South Africa. Jackson attracted huge crowds
at his rallies where he denounced apartheid, South Africa's oppressive
system that prevented the black majority population from enjoying the
rights and privileges of the white minority. Later in 1979, he toured
the Middle East where he embraced Yassar Arafat, the then-exiled
Palestinian leader. Jackson's embrace of a man considered a terrorist by
the American government created yet another controversy. The result of
these international excursions caused Jackson's fame and popularity to
grow within the African American community. As the 1980's began, Jackson
moderated many of his political positions. He was no longer the
flamboyant young man wearing long hair and gold medallions, but a more
conservative, mature figure seeking ways to reform the Democratic party
from within. He continued to advocate his "rainbow coalition" as a way
for all Americans to improve the country.
After growing increasingly disenchanted with the existing political
scene, Jackson decided that he would campaign against Walter Mondale and
Gary Hart in the 1984 Democratic presidential primaries. His campaign
centered on a platform of social programs for the poor and the disabled,
alleviation of taxes for the poor, increased voting rights, effective
affirmative action initiatives for the hiring of women and minorities,
and improved civil rights for African Americans, poor whites,
immigrants, homosexuals, Native Americans, and women. Jackson also took
a stand on many world issues. He called for increased aid to African
nations and more consideration of the rights of Arabs. His support for
Arab nations and African American Muslims provoked much criticism,
especially from Jewish voters. In early 1984, Jackson used his
popularity in the Arab world to obtain the release of an American pilot,
Lt. Robert Goodman, who had been shot down over Lebanon.
When he returned home, Jackson concentrated on securing the African
American vote for his candidacy. He did not receive support from most
senior African American politicians, who felt that Jackson's candidacy
would cause disunity within the Democratic camp and benefit the
Republicans. However, many poor African Americans enthusiastically
supported him. Jackson received 3.5 million votes, and possibly 2
million of those voters were newly registered. He carried 60
congressional districts on a budget of less than $3 million. Although
many Americans, both black and white, were decidedly opposed to Jackson,
he earned grudging respect because his campaign fared better than most
people had expected. When Jackson conceded defeat at the 1984 Democratic
National Convention, much of America listened respectfully to his
address. Although his campaign was unsuccessful, Jackson's powerful
presence had broken new ground and involved more African Americans in
the political process.
After the 1984 election, Jackson devoted his time between working for
Operation PUSH in Chicago and his new National Rainbow Coalition in
Washington DC. This national coalition was designed to be a force for
reform within the Democratic party. It also provided Jackson with a
platform from which to mount his 1988 presidential bid. Jackson's
campaign received a much broader base of support than in 1984. His
polished delivery, quick wit, and campaign experience helped him to gain
many new supporters. Among the seven serious contenders for the
Democratic nomination, Jackson finished second to Massachusetts Governor
Michael Dukakis.
In 1990, Jackson was named one of two "shadow senators" to Congress from
Washington DC to press for the district's statehood. Although the idea
fizzled, it helped to keep Jackson in the public eye. In 1992, Jackson
backed Democratic candidate Bill Clinton during the presidential
campaign. He used his influence to urge African American voters to
support Clinton. These efforts helped Clinton to win the election and
return a Democrat to the White House for the first time in 12 years.
Critics often accuse Jackson of simply being a cheerleader of causes, a
person who favors style over substance. Despite his unflagging energy
and devotion to his causes, many felt that he was devoted only to his
own self-aggrandizement. "This is the long-term pattern of Jackson's
politics. He has always sought to operate and be recognized as a
political insider, as a leader without portfolio or without
accountability to any constituency that he claims to represent" wrote
political critic Adolph Reed Jr. in the Progressive. "PUSH ran as a
simple extension of his will and he has sought to ensure that the
Rainbow Coalition would be the same kind of rubber stamp, a letterhead
and front for his mercurial ambition."
Despite the criticism he has faced, Jackson continues to advocate for
the rights of the downtrodden and challenge others to move beyond
adversity. In 1995, Jackson wrote in Essence magazine, "People who are
victimized may not be responsible for being down, but they must be
responsible for getting up. Slave masters don't retire; people who are
enslaved change their minds and choose to join the abolitionist
struggle... .Change has always been led by those whose spirits were
bigger than their circumstances. . .I do have hope. We have seen
significant victories during the last 25 years."
In November 1999, Jackson came to the defense of six high school
students expelled for fighting in Decatur, Illinois. The Decatur school
board expelled the students for two years for their involvement in a
brawl during a football game on September 17, 1999. After being
pressured by Jackson, board members later reduced the punishment to one
year and agreed to let the students attend an alternative school.
Jackson met with the board to try to reach a compromise that would allow
the students to return to regular classes, but the board refused to
waver. As a result, Jackson led a protest march at Eisenhower High
School where he was arrested on November 16, 1999, and later released on
bond. He was charged with three counts each of criminal trespassing and
contributing to the delinquency of a child.
Jackson received his master of divinity degree from the Chicago
Theological Seminary on June 3, 2000. He had been only three courses
short of earning his degree when he left the school to work with a
minister more than three decades ago. On August 9, 2000, President Bill
Clinton awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jackson. The medal is
the highest civilian honor and may be awarded only by a U.S. president
to individuals who have made contributions "especially meritorious to
the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace
or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."
Jackson and his wife of nearly four decades, Jacqueline, have five
children, including a son, Jesse Jackson Jr., who is a Democratic
congressman from Illinois. In January 2001, in response to tabloid
reports, Jackson issued a statement admitting that he fathered a
daughter, born in 1999, with a former staff member of his Rainbow
Coalition, Dr. Karin L. Stanford.
