• White Might Makes Right in New York City

Dr. Khallid Muhammad made a political speech at Kean College in New Jersey on November 29, 1993. Like Dr. Leonard Jeffries beforehand, Muhammad found himself under siege. Rev. Jesse L. Jackson led the cavalry like Black leaders led the attack against Garvey. In February 1994, Congress passed an unconstitutional bill of attainder constructively imposing a sentence of death on Muhammad without the benefit of due process. There was no Black dissent. Muhammad's political speech warranted capital punishment while white misconduct receives a pass. Afterwards, Muhammad became a political target. He miraculously survived a political shooting in Riverside, California. The next attack on Muhammad would have to be subtle. Biological weapons were also in Hannibal's arsenal and poisoning is an ancie...

• Acorn Sprouts New Branches ; Common-Sense Court Decision Still Leaves Its Core Intact

I t looks like the congenitally corrupt, still-operating Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) won't be getting any more U.S. tax dollars - for the time being.

The life-tenured judge had determined that the U.S. government's spending power belongs to federal judges now, regardless of what that quaint little document called the U.S. Constitution says. Judge Gershon ruled that Congress had violated ACORN's "rights" and passed an unconstitutional "bill of attainder" punishing ACORN without trial when it decided to stop funding the group.

ACORN in trouble but with their backs up against the wall they are starting to fight back. ACORN employees are circling the wagons and vow to come out this stronger and better. Bolsetering their confidence is a recent Congressional Research Service analysis surrounding last week's ACORN ban passed in the House and found the measure could be interpreted as a "bill of attainder" and unconstitutional. A bill of attainder is a bill that is passed in order to punish or to help one person or group and according to Article 1 of the Constitution a no-no. TRUST" and "TRANSPARENCY" are two words that members of the current City Council have used over and over again to characterize themselves. Poooof - they are both disappearing before our eyes. S. The City Attorney also wrote: "I would like to...
