The last paragraph is the key: We took the Russian money, but that's okay because we promoted what we have always promoted.
Uhuru had its headquarters for many years in Oakland in a house they cheated a woman out of. When just about every progressive and leftist had had enough of their wrecking of rent control and other causes and cultist harm to young innocents, they decamped to Yeshitela's home town in Florida. - - - Black rights activists are convicted of conspiracy, found not guilty of acting as Russian agents Associated Press, September 12, 2024 (excerpts) Four Black rights activists were convicted Thursday in Florida federal court of conspiring to act as unregistered Russian agents. Jurors returned the guilty verdicts late Thursday morning. Yeshitela, Hess and Nevel had been charged with the more serious crimes of acting as agents of a foreign government, but jurors found them not guilty of those charges. Defense attorneys argued that Aleksandr Ionov, who runs an organization known as the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, concealed from the Uhurus his relationship with Russian intelligence. Prosecutors have said the group's members acted under Russian direction to stage protests in 2016 claiming Black people have been victims of genocide in the U.S. The defense attorneys, however, have said that despite their connections to the Russian organization, the actions taken by the African People's Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement were aligned precisely with what they have advocated for in more than 50 years. https://www.wusf.org/courts-law/2024-09-12/black-rights-activists-convicted-conspiracy-not-guilty-acting-russian-agents-uhuru-movement-african-peoples-socialist-party -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
