More corruption

Whenever I hear about corrupt and manipulative leaders, I think of the most corrupt leader in America:Democrat Jesse Jackson

Here is the information on the front flap of the top ten bestseller book called "Shakedown", by Kenneth R. Timmerman who was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize along with UN Ambassador John Bolton on February 7, 2006, for an earlier exposé done on the Iranian nuclear weapons programs.

"Few figures have been given such a free ride by the media as Jesse Jackson.  But now with Shakedown, veteran investigative reporter Kenneth R. Timmerman offers a stunning exposé of the racket that is "Jesse Jackson Inc." Here's the whole truth--the truth that the major news media have been too intimidated to tell you.  In Shakedown you'll learn:

1)how Jackson exploited--and lied about--the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

2)about Jackson's previously unreported affiliation with one of Chicago's most notorious street gangs.

3)where Jackson learned politics--from card-carrying Communists.

4)how Jackson made himself a "Reverend" (without credentials)

5)the truth behind the self-perpetuated myth of Jackson's growing up poor and a victim of racism

6)how Jackson raided corporate America in the name of the poor--but really to enrich himself and his cronies

7)the history of sexual shenanigans that made Jackson the perfect "minister" to Bill Clinton

8)about Jackson's corrupt mixture of official diplomacy and unofficial business with African dictators

9)the inspiring story of a CEO who stood up to Jackson's bullying--and won."

Jackson is a fraud

African-american George Curry wrote this about Jesse Jackson on his website in 2002:

"If Jackson is truly interested in preserving the "sacred" Civil Rights Movement, he should start by admitting that he has been lying for more than 30 years about being the last person to hold Dr. King before he died.

Abernathy recounts in his autobiography that Jackson and another aide, Hosea Williams, had agreed not to talk to the media immediately following King's assassination until they could learn more details. However, moments later, Jackson was speaking to reporters.

"`Yes,' Jesse was saying. `I was the last person he spoke to as I was cradling him in my arms.'

"With a roar of anger, Hosea started cursing and was halfway up the chain fence before one of the others pulled him down and held him until his anger had cooled. But Jackson has told the same story, or very nearly the same, that morning on `The Today Show.'"

Barbara A. Reynolds, in her biography, initially titled, "Jesse Jackson: The man, the movement, the myth," quotes Hosea Williams: "I had no hangups about Jesse talking to the press. That was okay, but why lie? Why capitalize on another man's name and image -- a dead man, who can't speak for himself?"

In a tape-recorded interview with me before he died, Abernathy dared Jackson to say to his face that he --not Abernathy -- was the last one who cradled Dr. King. It's time for Jesse Jackson to come clean.
