While I was off having fun on Hilton Head Island, proof surfaced that the Department of Justice (you know the one...where "a creeping lawlessness" lives unencumbered) lied, and lied significantly about the dismissal of the case of voter intimidation against the New Black Panthers.
New Black Panthers
After two New Black Panthers stood guard over possible wayward voters at a Philadelphia polling place - complete with a nightstick, and proof via a video, the men were indicted and charges were brought by the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, over their menacing and intimidating presence on the day of the 2008 presidential election. After the two men refused to show up at Court - 5 times, the DOJ dismissed the charges.
Senator Charles Grassley was outraged and began an investigation. One of the prime DOJ attorneys on the case quit in protest and another was transferred out of Washington D.C. The attorney who quit, J. Christian Adams, joined Pajamas Media, testified at a hearing under oath, and has been making his case on talk shows that racism is rampant within the Department of Justice.
On September 20th, Judicial Watch forced disclosure of DOJ documents. First up is info that Democratic election lawyer Sam Hirsch was involved in the dismissal. Odd that, because Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, Thomas Perez, "swore" in testimony that "no political leadership was involved in the outrageous dismissal.
The “Vaughn index” describes documents responsive to the lawsuit currently being withheld in their entirety by the Justice Department. The index details a series of emails between Assistant Deputy Attorney General Steve Rosenbaum and Deputy Associate Attorney General Sam Hirsch, who was described by Slate magazine as a “DC election lawyer who represents a lot of Democrats” prior to joining the Justice Department.
The index describes eight email exchanges between Rosenbaum and Hirsch, taking place on April 30, 2009, the day before the Justice Department reversed course and declined to pursue much of the Black Panther case.
Perez, according to Judicial Watch, under sworn testimony said the whole issue was just "a case of career people disagree with the career people."Uh...right! the Blacks in some kind of military garb, brandishing a billy club had nothing to do with revered voter rights.
“These documents show the Obama Justice Department’s decision to drop the Black Panther case was certainly political and potentially corrupt,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Black Panther decision is a scandal for the Obama administration and it merits serious attention by investigators. Assistant Attorney General Perez seems to have been less than candid in his sworn testimony when he said no political appointees were involved in the decision. This scandal has just gotten a whole lot worse for the Obama Justice Department.”
If Congress ultimately suspects that they were lied to, they might scrutinize an undated entry: Karen Stevens is listed as an author of “talking points for the Attorney General regarding the DOJ’s handling of the NBPP litigation and the decision to drop charges.” She should get a subpoena from Congress next year also.
Similar entries evidencing the creation of an ultimately dishonest spin are throughout the log.
I would not be surprised if the log omitted documents. Inspector General Glenn Fine’s investigation of the Voting Section should include an inquiry into whether the Department is fully responsive to various requests from Congress, the press, and the Civil Rights Commission.
The log provided by DOJ to Judicial Watch contains numerous unidentified documents. The listing provides no information whatsoever about these documents, as the identity of both the authors and recipients are omitted. Congress might also demand to know what all the untitled, undated entries are in the log.
To understand how important this case is, Adams testified that he heard someone inside Justice state that this administration will no prosecute Black wrongdoers," for any kind of voter fraud or intimidation. For details on the Voter Intimidation case against The New Black Panthers, including testimony by an iconic Civil Rights activist, and the DOJ bias for Black Wrong-doers," begin here, and then see the list below. Thanks to Opus6 at American Perspective where I found this story.
The U.S. Civil Rights Commission has urged a "federal probe" into the Department of Justice (DOJ) dismissal of voter intimidation against the New Black Panthers, and the Department's Civil Rights Division. Liberals say the Commission "gamed the system," and is not bipartisan.
The Commission said "grave" testimony charged that the DOJ "will not pursue black defendants," and the charges against the New Black Panthers was "wrongly abandoned."
In a letter sent Wednesday to Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, the chairman of the bipartisan commission said testimony last week from an ex-Justice official raised "grave questions" about whether the division is "color blind" in its enforcement of the law.
"This testimony raised serious concerns as to whether the Civil Rights Division's enforcement policies are being pursued in a race-neutral fashion and further calls into question the department's decision to change course in the New Black Panther Party litigation," Chairman Gerald Reynolds wrote...
...concern about the Justice Department's "intransigence" in providing witnesses to testify and urged the department to allow former voting section chief Christopher Coates to appear before the panel.
MediaMatters' headline is "Meet the conservative U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. In other words, they are not bipartisan, according to this Liberal hack site:
Media figures have emphasized the fact that the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is technically "bipartisan" to hype its investigation of the Justice Department's actions in the New Black Panther Party case. In reality, the commission's chair has acknowledged that conservatives "gam[ed] the system" and packed the panel with conservative activists, and the commission's two Democrats, as well as one Republican, have criticized the investigation.
If the testimony of J. Christian Adams, the lead attorney on the Black Panther voter intimidation case, does not show a need for investigation, what could? The question is, what now? The feds will investigate the feds in the Department of Justice? I can't wait to hear the next step.
The NAACP is formally "resolving" that TEA Parties are racist, and First Lady Michelle Obama helped "energize" the crowd when she appeared before them, the Nation's premier racists. She talked about obese children according to the press, but "roused" the crowd nevertheless.
Michelle Obama
From the Examiner: (read this Examiner article if you have time. It refutes everything you read below.)
...She spoke impassionedly about signs and posters members of the group displayed that were intended to degrade people of color."
From another Examiner report on Michelle and the NAACP, Lisa Carter speaks from experience and says the NAACP's Los Angeles division threatened her for "going against their liberal victimization philosophy.
I've avoided the "Obama isn't my President" claim, but I will tell you today, this man and his administration are not my President or my administration.
[Tea Party members have used] "racial epithets," have verbally abused black members of Congress and threatened them, and protestors have engaged in "explicitly racist behavior" and "displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama, specifically," according to the proposed resolution.
"We're deeply concerned about elements that are trying to move the country back, trying to reverse progress that we've made," NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell told ABC News. "We are asking that the law-abiding members of the Tea Party repudiate those racist elements, that they recognize the historic and present racist elements that are within the Tea Party movement."
This is an outlandish lie, and I am sick of it. I think every White person, and many Blacks are sick of it. There is no proof of TEA Parties and racism, not even a hint of any of the above charges. It's a lie - a Democrat lie.
I want to know why ABC, CBS, NBC are not reporting the dangerously explosive racism in our Department of Justice, the refusal to tell the story of the New Black Panthers intimidating voters on election day in Philadelphia, and Eric Holder and the DOJ threatening attornies if they honor subpoenas, telling them the victims of Black wrongdoers will not be prosecuted, that no motor voter crimes will be investigated. Where are the stories?
Where are the stories, and I mean far more than a token report, at ABC, CBS, NBC? Yet they will litter the internet with "resolutions" of the lying, deceitful, racist NAACP, and tell us the FLOTUS has "roused" the members.
To top it off, CBS' Bob Schieffer, who should hang it up, turn-out the lights, and let the studio door spanking his bottom be his goodbye party. Schieffer had Attorney General Eric Holder on his show for a full 30-minutes today and didn't ask Holder a single question about the New Black Panther Case - which should be known as the case of Black and White people stopped from voting at a legitimate polling place by The New Black Panther Party (NBPP). Where are the reports of King Samir Shabazz calling for death to Whites, including their children?
In the video below from the NAACP address, MO talks about the "crumbling schools" Black children are forced to attend. Here's a few words from Karen at The Lonely Conservative - I can't say it any better:
Whose fault is it that we have failing schools? The liberals, unions and Democrats have controlled education for decades! Whose policies are hurting the African American community? Michelle Obama’s husband’s, that’s whose. Since he started enacting his agenda the poor became poorer and the middle class is diminishing.
Malik Zulu Shabazz, the leader of the New Black Panther Party, praises Attorney General Eric Holder for allowing the Philadelphia voter intimidation by dismissing the case against the New Black Panther Party (NBPP). Malik Grand Poo-Bah is joyous - a Black man delivering Thuggery Justice for Black Men. Two videos below - the first the praise of Holder and the second, praising Osama bin Laden.

If you have not been following this story, see links below which show a former DOJ attorney testifying that Attorney General Eric Holder's attorneys will not bring charges against Blacks accused of voter intimidation or fraud, and also will not support the mandates to clear voter rolls of duplicate registrations, deceased persons or persons who have moved from the precinct. We have voter fraud and intimidation coming directly from the White House and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Paris Lewis, a convert to Islam, is known today as Malik Zulu Shabazz. In the video interview below with a Russian-English language news channel, Shabazz says his New Black Panther Party (NBPP) is "ready to rumble," and will meet Glenn Beck at the "Washington monument." According to Shabazz, the NBPP is ready for "rightwingers," and he names some, but leaves Sarah Palin out of his list of "rumblees." Apparently, they want no part of Mama Grizzly, Sarah Palin who will be appearing at Beck's Restoring Honor.
Lincoln Memorial - Restoring Honor Rally
Shabazz also said the New Black Panther "will deal with all rightwingers," including Michael Steele, J. Christian Adams, the DOJ whistleblower, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA-10th) who tried to subpoena the DOJ for information about the NBPP voter intimidation case, and TEA parties.
Without blogs and Fox News, you would know nothing about the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers, because mainstream media refuses to talk about this anti-American, Jew-hating, screed-spewing organization which tried to keep voters from exercising their right to vote for their choice in the 2008 presidential elections. UPDATE: 7-9-10 1:00 pm EDT - Oops, in the video below you'll hear Lewis/Shabazz say Fox will not allow him on. Just heard that Megyn Kelly is interviewing him at about 2:30 p.m. EDT. Here is a statement dated July 8, 2010 from GlennBeck.com, after saying no one applying for these permits receives them hand until about three days before the event:
[Beck] ...we have not only the permit, the space of the Lincoln Memorial, we have the space — we have taken the mall and asked for the space from the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the capitol building. We have the entire mall reserved for that day. Not because we're expecting that whole place to be filled but because we wanted to make sure counterprotests and everything else, we want this to be a peaceful event.
There is only one sliver of the mall that we don't have. It was reserved by the White House and it is like a quarter of the space behind the Washington Memorial. So we wanted to make it a safe space, we wanted to make it a peaceful space, we wanted to do justice to the space. It is a sacred space to me as well, and anybody who thinks that we're going to desecrate the image of Lincoln, Washington, or even MLK, I invite you to come and bring your family because you will be amazed. You will be amazed at how uplifting this will be.
So where is the press? We're talking about a sacred and Constitutional right to go to the polls uninhibited. Where is the press?
The Beck rally on August 28th will meet on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to move the "restoration" theme forward:
"a non-political event that pays tribute to America's service personnel and other upstanding citizens who embody our nation's founding principles of integrity truth and honor."
August 28th is the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr's I Have a Dream speech at the Lincoln monument. Lewis/Shabazz says his group will meet Beck on "the 27th." They'll have to camp out because the rally begins on the 28th - or maybe they plan to catch Beck without the masses, overseeing the setup the day before???
Martin Luther King
I Have a Dream speech August 28, 1963
If you plan to attend the Beck's rally, find time and information about how to get into the Lincoln Memorial on rally day here. One thing to mention, on Left websites there are people saying the National Park Service says Beck does not yet have a permit approved for the National Mall area on the 28th, and others say the permit is for the area in front of the reflecting pool, not on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The question: does Beck have the permit? Surely he would not hype this event with an event license.
Shabazz says the NBPP is also "ready to rumble" with Michael Steele chairman of the RNC, TEA parties, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) who is investigating the Department of Justice (DOJ) dismissal against the NBPP's voter intimidation in Philadelphia, and J. Christian Adams, the whistleblower that resigned the DOJ after being told that there will be no justice for White victims of voter fraud and/or intimidation - bottom line, Justice will not prosecute Blacks participating in voter fraud or intimidation.
To understand what the New Black Panthers are all about, you must also see the National Geographic video of the NBPP's Philadelphia chapter head, King Samir Shabazz, telling Blacks they need to kill Whites, including our "cracker babies (second video below). American, this is who and what we are dealing with.
Malik Zulu Shabazz New Black Panthers Ready to Rumble (video)
King Samir Shabazz calling for death to Whites and our "cracker babies"
J. Christian Adams is a former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney. He resigned in May 2010 due to the DOJ's refusal to follow through with a case of clear voter intimidation in Philadelphia in the November 2008 presidential elections. Attorneys on the case, including J. Christian Adams, were told to dismiss the case, even though a default judgment was handed down. DOJ stated in Adams' presence they would not prosecute Black wrongdoers for any kind of voter fraud or intimidation. There was no plan to not prosecute Whites for doing the same. This was all about race. Now Adams has taken it to the U.S. Human Rights Commission. What can they do against the DOJ, on behalf of the American people?
King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson - New Black Panther Party
While Adams was still at the DOJ, Congress subpoenaed records, and the attorneys working on the case before it was dropped. DOJ denied every subpoena and refused to let any of the attorneys honor the subpoenaes.
At some point, before Adams resigned, he was told that Motor Voter laws would also not be honored. In other words, DOJ had no interest in requiring the names of dead persons to be removed from voter registrations, or duplicate names, or people who had moved out of the district. According to Adams, there was also conversation stating that Blacks had already suffered too much.
Now resigned, Adams is talking and fearlessly naming names. This week he testified before the U.S. Human Rights Commission. The question is, is the Commission strong enough to stand-up to the Black man's Department of Justice.
Adams' superior at Justice, Chris Coates, was so disgusted with the actions of the Department he voice it loudly (see the last video below). DOJ silenced him by transferring him to South Carolina and relieved him of his title of Chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ.
In the photo above, there is testimony that the tall man, Jerry Jackson, hassled citizens trying to get inside the polling place to vote. Jackson, along with being a New Black Panther member is an elected member of Philadelphia's 14th Ward Democratic Committee. Jackson still hold that privileged position.
The shorter man with the nightstick, King Samir Shabazz, is quoted below - read it as found on the web here - with links to the New Black Panther Party and ACORN. Here's the text for the following graphic:
i has waited all my life for the day that Strong Black men could stand outside a voting poll in a Honk neighborhood and beat republiKKKan voters with a baseball bat to keep the motherfu**ers from voting for they racist candidate and walk away scott free and be a hero in the black community,,,,,,,,,,and that day finally here.
it time we up the ante on these white motherf u**ers and take it to the next level
Samir Shabazz is the head of the Philly chapter of the New Black Panther Party.
Shabazz brandished a nightstick. He "pointed the weapon at individuals, menacingly tapped it [in] his other hand, or menacingly tapped it elsewhere." Both Shabazz and Jackson leveled "racial threats and racial insults at both black and white individuals," and they "made menacing and intimidating gestures, statements, and movements directed at individuals who were present to aid voters."
King Samir Shabazz Yelling to Kill White Crackers and Cracker Babies (video)
Three NBPP members were indicted and blew off court dates for five months - just simply didn't reply, didn't show up - nothing. You know what would happen if you or I had treated any court in that manner.
We need to be mindful that this session with the U.S. Human Rights Commission is not the first time it has convened about this case. In February 2009, the USHRC held its first meeting. DOJ simply ignored them. USHRC had witnesses. It didn't matter.
This one is one we must watch and must encourage those who have the power to fight this outrage for us, to do it, because every future election can be affected. I don't think it gets any more serious than this. Visit ChicagoRay and watch a video of New Black Panthers "visiting" a neighborhood to intimidate a man who killed two burglars. These Americans did not stand by let the NBPP have their streets.

Others Talking about J. Christian Adams and the New Black Panthers:
Jeremiah Wright is speaking (or reading) to the New York Society for Ethical Culture in 2009 - and is speaking of their publications. He praises them for filling an invaluable purpose, specifically the socialist perspective. He says they fill an incredible void in critical thinking, and loves their idea of "no nonsense marxism." He speaks of Martin Luther King, and recently said King was wrong to advocate for non-violence. Wright appears to hate everything about this country, and the only thing a White can do to please him, is leave the U.S. So has he called for black on white violence - a battle cry maybe, by invoking MLK? Are we moving into the return of the Black Power era and has Wright embraced it?
Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright
In this video, Wright speaks of Martin Luther King and the victims of King's "famous menage a trois: militarism, capitalism, and racism." Wright is an advocate of Black Liberation Theology, which is a part of Black Power movements, and many believers seem to have embraced Islam, including members of the New Black Panthers. Does Jeremiah Wright and the huge congregation he pastored, stand with the New Black Panthers?
Listen as he says "after all we are a Christian country," and listen to the chatter in the audience. Visit the New York Society for Ethical Culture here. See links to background on Jeremiah Wright below the video.
A reader, Sara, brought up a salient point that I first misunderstood Wright's comments about the "menange a trois." After more research, I accept that. It seems I succumbed to the belief that MLK was really more conservative in his thinking, that he explored what capitalism meant, but did not damn it, and I believed that while he suffered for the treatment of Blacks, he did not hate Whites or the U.S. As I dig deeper, I'm ready to concede that none of that may be true. We can't know whom MLK would have stood with today. Maybe he would have embraced Black Liberation Theology and Jeremiah Wright. I'll note once more though - Wright recently said MLK was wrong to advocate non-violence.

The Harlem New Black Panthers celebrate the Fourth of You-Lie on the Fourth of July. They want no part of the U.S. They drag our flag, walk on our flag and burn our flag. They want their own government to govern blacks - but Barack Obama isn't "it." The New Black Panthers are anti-semitic and most are converts to Islam. See a National Geographic video below.
Harlem New Black Panthers Fourth of You-Lie (video)
Megyn Kelly today aired the second portion of an interview with J. Christian Adams, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney. Adams says a mandate within the DOJ requires no charges will be made against blacks with a white victim accuses them of voter intimidation. The DOJ's answer to Adams' charges is simply that Adams is a Conservative. When does voter intimidation hinge on a political persuasion?
Megyn Kelly - America Live
You'll remember that the New Black Panthers stood outside a Philadelphia polling place in November 2008, one with a nightstick. A poll minder who served as Robert Kennedy's campaign aide was there and says there was definitely intimidation going on, and others said the same. From Adam's resignation letter, we learn that these men threatened the attorneys inside DOJ.
King Samir Shabazz (above and below with nightstick)
Adams resigned his position after a DOJ Civil Rights Division head instructed the attorneys on the case to dismiss it, even though a default judgement had been brought. Evidence was strong against the New Black Panther Party members. For five months they refused to answer the court or show up for court, thus the default judgement.
Rep. Frank Wolf tried (R-VA) tried to refile the case. He was denied the opportunity to interview the lead attorneys. Subpoenas were let, one for J. Christian Adams, and the DOJ refused to let him honor it. In Adams resignation letter he noted that he was forced to ignore lawful subpoenas:
...the subpoena is based on an explicit federal statute and seeks answers about why the case was dismissed. I have incurred significant personal expense in retaining a number of separate attorneys and firms regarding this subpoena in order to protect my interests and advise me about my personal legal obligations to comply with the subpoena.
The following is also in his letter of resignation:
As you also know, the defendants in the New Black Panther lawsuit have become increasingly belligerent in their rhetoric toward the attorneys who brought the case...
King Samir Shabazz (L) and Jerry Jackson (R)
So DOJ attorneys were threatened by the New Black Panthers and the answer from the DOJ was, hey we're not prosecuting any blacks for any voter intimidation crimes against whites.
Here's some information about the men accused:
MalikZuluShabazz is a Howard University Law School grad and a resident of Washington, D.C. Jerry Jackson is credentialed to be at a the polling place as he is a 14th Ward Democratic Committee member. "Minister" King Samir Shabazz says he is "about the total destruction of white people." Attorney Eric Holder is doing his part to help his brother. Is it too far out to believe they are serious in the intensity of whites? I don't think so, and now the government we put in place has their back.
For the record, Christian Adams says there is a "creeping lawlessness" inside the Department of Justice.
Megyn Kelly interviewed J. Christian Adams, the Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney who was the lead attorney in the prosecution of the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation at a Philadelphia poll place. In what Adams says is the clearest example of voter intimidation in the history of his career was judged guilty, then DOJ Civil Rights Division was ordered to dismiss the charges and drop the case. See the video below.
New Black Panthers - Voter Intimidation in Philadelphia
Adams resigned his position and left the DOJ for private practice in May 2010. This quote is from his commentary in The Washington Times:
Most disturbing, the dismissal is part of a creeping lawlessness infusing our government institutions. Citizens would be shocked to learn about the open and pervasive hostility within the Justice Department to bringing civil rights cases against nonwhite defendants on behalf of white victims....Open contempt is voiced for these types of cases.
1) The dismissal of the Black Panther case "was motivated by a lawless hostility toward equal enforcement of the law."
2) Some in the Department "abetted wrongdoers and abandoned law-abiding citizens victimized by the New black Panthers.
3) Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Tom Perez "inaccurately" testified to the House Judiciary Committee
4) "Most corrupt of all, the lawyers who ordered the dismissal - Loretta King, the Obama-appointed acting head of the Civil Rights Division, and Steve Rosenbaum....
5) Some inside Justice say this is an isolated incident, but other similar cases happened at polling places in Philadelphia, including one targeting Hillary Rodham Clinton. Adams says "the law clearly prohibits even isolated incidents of voter intimidation.
6) The evidence shows that voters were affected by intimidation, but even if it didn't, the law demands punishment of "an attempt."
7) Some co-workers argued the law should not be used against black wrongdoers because of the long history of slavery and segregation. "Some called it payback time.
Note that Kelly asked for a statement from the DOJ, and part of their answer to Adams is that he "is a Conservative." What does being Conservative or Liberal have to do with Human Rights? (Thanks to Lonely Conservative for the video)
Christian Adams and Megyn Kelly on Black Panthers Voter Intimidation (video)
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) is trying to energize an investigation into the Department of Justice's bewildering dismissal of a case of voter intimidation, which was effectively won by default. During the November 2008 presidential election, two, and maybe three, New Black Panthers stood outside a Philadelphia polling place. Whether two or three, three were named in the lawsuit. Two were dressed in paramilitary gear. One held a police nightstick. Witnesses complained that they did, indeed, feel intimidated
New Black Panthers Voter Intimidation in Philadelphia
Bartle Bull a longtime civil rights activist and a poll minder for either the Republican Party of John McCain on the day this all happened, entered an affidavit, saying:
Their clear purpose and intent was to intimidate voters with whom they
did not agree. Their views were, in part, made apparent by the uniform
of the organization the two men wore and the racially-charged
statements they made.
For example, I heard the shorter man [King Samir Shavazz] make a
statement directed toward white poll observers that,...
‘you are about to
be ruled by a black man, cracker.’
To me, the presence and behavior of
the two uniformed men was an outrageous affront to American democracy
and the rights of voters to participate in elections without fear. It
would qualify as the most blatant form of voter intimidation I have
encountered in my life in political campaigns in many states, even
going back to the work I did in Mississippi in the 1960s.”
The men named in the suit refused to show up in court - for five months. Last week, Malik Zulu Shabazz again did not show for a US Human Rights Commission deposition. Could you or I get away with that? Eventually, after numerous court dates, the judge ordered the Civil Rights Division to "file a final motion." That was not going to happen. The administration dropped the charges.
This from Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX):
The evidence was very clear,” Gohmert said. “There was a video that
spoke for itself of the uniformed, billy-clubbed intimidation occurring
in Philadelphia from a group that identifies itself as the New Black
Panther Party and associates itself with the Nation of Islam.”
The House Judiciary Committee voted DOWN a resolution that would have required the DOJ to give Congress an explanation for the dismissal of the case. Every Democrat on the Committee voted it down. Every Republican voted for the inquiry.
The dismissal came after "top: lawyers in the DOJ's Civil Rights Division and DOJ "career lawyers" in the got involved. Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli, No. 3 in the DOJ, is responsible for the reversal. There was no protecting the civil rights of Philadelphia voters that day.
Hans von Spakovsky, writing for National Review OnLine points to a possible flurry of activity on this case. When White Visitor logs were released, he found dates corresponding with the dismissal with visits from Perrelli, Cassandra Butts, and Spencer Overton, each of which were previously actively involved with "voting issues" in their previous jobs.
On April 17, the judge in Philadelphia took notice of the failure
of the NBPP defendants to answer the lawsuit by issuing an order giving
Justice until May 1 to file its request for a default judgment.
On May
1, however, Perrelli met in the West Wing with Butts and Overton at 2 p.m.;
later that same day, the trial team on the NBPP case suddenly filed a
request for an extension of time — instead of a motion for default —
telling the court that it needed additional time to draft an
“appropriate” default judgment order.
This was a bizarre
request and bizarre timing. Justice had had a full month to draft a
proposed order, something that the experienced lawyers on the case
could have done in a few hours. It appears they were ordered at the
last minute to ask for an extension, instead of completing what they
had set in motion on April 1 when they first told the court that the
defendants were in default.
These men were members of The New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense,
an organization so radical that the original Black Panther Party has
found it necessary to denounce it,” Smith continued.
The Human Rights Commission, not to be confused with the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ, along with Rep. Wolf trying to get an investigation into the dismissal moving.
The New Black Panthers are not just street riff-raff. The chairman, Malik Zulu Shabazz is a resident of Washington, D.C. and is an attorney. The thug with the nightstick is Minister King Samir Shabazz of Philadelphia and the head of the Philadelphia chapter of the New Black Panthers.
I has waited all my life for the day that Strong Black men could stand outside a voting poll in a Honk neighborhood and beat republiKKKan voters with a baseball bat to keep the motherf**k ers from voting for they racist candidate and walk away scott free and be a hero in the black community,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and that day finally here (Shabass inserted a cheesy smiley face).
It time we up the ante on these white motherf**kers and take it to the next level.
The third person named in the suit is Jerry Jackson. He is an ELECTED member of Philadelphia's 14th Ward Democratic Committee. He is a credentialed poll-minder for the Democrats and still has that privilege.
Rep. Wolf has tried to move the investigation from the pervue of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) into the statutory authority of the Inspector General's office. Every department within government comes under the IG's office - except the DOJ.
Finally, and perhaps after, Wolf and the US Human Rights Commission dug in the burr long enough, the OPR says, hey, we're working on it. But no one is holding their breath.
According to Jennifer Rubin at Commentary Magazine, The US Human Rights Commission will forge ahead and hold its first hearing into the matter on February 12th. Rubin believes the DOJ is not cooperating with the Commission.
Holder continues to stonewall, keeping OPR busy churning paperwork but
never seemingly able to reach an end to the investigation. It is yet
one more example of the consequences of one-party rule and the absence
of significant Congressional oversight.
According to the USHRC Commissioner, Todd Gaziano, three witnesses will testify on February 12. Mike Mauro, Chris Hill and Bartle Bull. All three were poll watchers "affiliated with either the Republican Party of the McCain campaign. Here's more from Jennifer Rubin:
All of these witnesses will describe the actions and comments of
members of the New Black Panther Party, as well as conservations they
may have had with poll workers inside the voting facility.
Party leader Malik Zulu Shabazz thumbed his nose, again, and did not show up
for his deposition.
Sources tell me [Rubin] that the Department of Justice has been requested to
enforce the subpoena on behalf of the Commission. No word on whether
Justice will do so, but it is hard to fathom what excuse Holder could
raise to prevent enforcement of a duly executed subpoena on a third
party witness with direct involvement in a matter which is the subject
of a Commission investigation.
Here's more from von Spakovsky on subpoenas:
The DOJ has reportedly ordered several of the trial lawyers to
disobey subpoenas issued by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, but
the subpoena fight is ongoing. Because the DOJ by statute is supposed
to enforce the commission’s subpoenas, and instead is actively
thwarting them, the DOJ is caught in an outrageous conflict of interest
that cries out for condemnation.
We have a racist administration. They protect that agenda by doing whatever it takes. Only Obamabots would seek to protect the NBPP under these circumstances. And remember, the place where the NBPP can receive protection are the courts, but they fail to show up. You and I would be sitting in jail.
The New Black Panther Party is in Crackerville, Tennessee talking about the cracker-cowards in the area, and the armed maneuvers they are conducting. The New Black Panther Defense plans a new Black nation. You need to see this video.
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has, for months, sought an explanation from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) of how the dismissal of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case was handled. Finally, subpoenas were issued to DOJ attorneys and those subpoenaed have been instructed to not appear in court, and not to give over any subpoenaed documents. That's your Obama Justice Department at work folks.
New Black Panthers outside Philadelphia Polling Place November 4, 2008
The background on the story is that three New Black Panther thugs, garbed in para-military-looking garb, planted themselves outside a Philadelphia polling place during the November 2008 presidential election day - one wielding a nightstick. It was caught on tape. A voter intimidation lawsuit was filed. For five months the men refused to show up in court. A judge asked for a final judgment. Then DOJ civil rights attorneys got involved and completely dismissed the case. Now we know why.
From Jennifer Rubin writing for Commentary Magazine:
The Justice Department has ordered its career trial lawyers who have been subpoenaed by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights not to appear to provide testimony or give documents in the investigation of DOJ’s dismissal of the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case. The Washington Times explains:
Joseph H. Hunt, director of the Justice Department’s Federal Programs
Branch, ordered the lawyers’ silence in a letter to the attorney for J.
Christian Adams, the lead attorney for the department in the New Black
Panther case. The letter said “well-established” and “lawful” Justice
Department guidelines prohibited Mr. Adams’ cooperation in the
commission probe.
Todd Gaziano, a member of the Civil Rights Commission says the guidelines cited do not apply...
Our job places a premium on our role as a watchdog of federal and state
enforcement agencies, and to that end, Congress has instructed all
agencies to comply fully with our requests,” he said. … [Gaziano] said
the Justice Department “had it exactly backwards” when it suggested
that there could be negative consequences for those who comply with the
commission’s subpoenas. He said a lawyer cannot refuse to comply with a
subpoena he knows to be lawful.
I say good luck to Mr. Gaziano. He should watch his back. The Walpinization of Gaziano is being planned as I type. You may remember Inspector General Gerald Walpin who was fired by the White House for doing his job and revealing millions of stolen funds by AmeriCorp. The White House illegally fired Walpin - but hey so what (thumbing of haughty noses). Gaziano will be next.
Rubin says a source told her that that J. Christian Adams was "not quite" threatened with the loss of his job, but plainly...
...he and his colleague, Christopher Coates, the voting rights section
chief, are being strong-armed to disregard a lawful subpoena. This is
abject lawlessness, the sort of executive imperiousness that, if
practiced by a Republican administration, would bring howls of protest
from Congress, the media, and liberal lawyers’ groups.
The Obama Justice Department doesn’t want to respond to a subpoena because they have a personnel rule? Next thing you know they’ll be claiming executive privilege for a social secretary. Oh yes, that’s right … [already done that!]
While the DOJ spokesperson continues to claim there never a case supporting voter intimidation, Rubin says DOJ lawyers object
But of course the lawyers disagree, claiming that their best legal
judgment was overridden by political appointees without justification.
They have a story to tell, with documents, firsthand accounts of
meetings and conversations and e-mails with the political appointees’
own remarks, which they say will substantiate their position. But the
Justice Department won’t let any of that out, nor will it say what
specifically about the case lacked factual or legal support.
The options according to Rubin are for attorneys to appear before the Commission in defiance of Obama and Holder et al, and risk their jobs, or some kind of deal may be negotiated to help the DOJ cover their tracks or "Congress might wake up, fulfill its obligation to conduct some real oversight of the Obama administration, and actually hold a hearing on the matter."
The administration acted upon their own racial prejudice and said that voter intimidation is fine and dandy when the Black Panthers want to take control, complete with nightstick to protect their vote, but not yours or mine. Can you imagine, had any Republican ignored and then thwarted subpoenas from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission? The DOJ's actions are blatant, in-your-face racism. I encourage you to read Black Panthers Win: Voter Fraud Wins: Voter Rights Lose and hear Bartle Bull's account of that day in Philadelphia. Mr. Bull's civil rights activity goes back to Senator Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. As an American voter, you need to know what Bull had to say about Philadelphia. Thanks to the incredible news-sleuthing abilities of Larwyn.
The New Black Panther Party (for Self Defense) has been granted government sanction to continue the intimidation of voters in Philadelphia or wherever they want to intimidate. If you think that's a stretch, it's not. The DOJ dismissed the Black Panther case. See a video below.
See the thugs in the photo below? The short guy wielded a nightstick in front of a Philly polling precinct during the November elections. The Department of Justice (DOJ) put a restraining order on the billystick until 2012. Until 2012 - what then?
The tall guy is Jerry Jackson, a credentialed Democrat poll worker in Philadelphia's 14th Ward. There were no sanctions or restrictions on him - not even a slap on the wrist. He maintains his credentials with the Democrats and will be back on the job at the next election. You'll see Jackson in the video below talking to Rick Leventhal, FoxNews. "I don't know what you taking about," he says.
By this time the police have escorted the short guy with the nightstick out of the area. Jackson denies there was anyone with a nightstick on the premises.
The details of what happened that day in Philadelphia are below, including the Department of Justice's dismissal, after already receiving a default judgment.
The dismissal came after the Civil Rights Division and "career lawyers" got involved. If you think voter intimidation is color blind, think again.
Here's the latest news, which includes that Jerry Jackson will be back on the job in the Philly 14th Ward.
Believe me, this whole incident is racial. The Washington Times found hate speech on the Black Panther's MySpace page. One rant after the other including "KILLIN CRAKKKAS,"
"F*** WHITEY'S CHRISTMAS," and of course, there is more. You see it here, including the timeline (because the Black Panthers attempted to take it down before anyone could make an issue of it) and cached pages.
You will read below about Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) and his attempts to refile and "bring the case," - again. Rep. Wolf says new evidence is available of extreme voter intimidation by the Black Panthers, filmed by National Geographic.
The following is a reprint (with minor updates) of the rest of the story.
*****
Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli is responsible for reversing voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panthers, but many had a hand in it after the interested "political" and "racial" factions put their heads together.
New Black Panthers
After intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling precinct, decked out like a military thugs from a third world country, wielding at least one 2-ft. long nightstick, a civil lawsuit was filed. The three men charged refused to show up for their court cases for five months - that's 5 months - and they did not show! The government won a default judgment in federal court against the New Black Panthers and three of their men. In April, however, department lawyers were told to drop the case - after already procuring the default judgment. Unbelievable.
Why would the case be dropped? Wouldn't you know it is always about politics?
Front-line lawyers were in the final stages of completing that work when they were unexpectedly told by their superiors in late April to seek a delay after a meeting between political appointees and career supervisors, according to federal records and interviews.
If that doesn't make your blood boil...this will:
Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told The Washington Times that the department has an "ongoing obligation" to be sure the claims it makes are supported by the facts and the law. She said that after a "thorough review" of the complaint, top career attorneys in the Civil Rights Division determined the "facts and the law did not support pursuing the claims against three of the defendants.
Schmaler is certainly a Liberal. She had the audacity to says "we [DOJ] are committed to vigorous enforcement of the laws protecting anyone exercising his or her right to vote." Only Liberals have that special kind of audacity and vigor. What about the people of Philadelphia? What about the people inside and outside the polling place? What about Mr. Bull - a man who signed an affidavit tell what he saw that day?
Schmaler says claims must be supported by facts and the law. How about the default judgment? But beside that, there was witness with a sworn affidavit. He is a "longtime civil rights activist and a former aide to Senator Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. Here is a portion of Bartle Bull's affidavit:
In my opinion, the men created an intimidating presence at the entrance to a poll," he declared. "In all my experience in politics, in civil rights litigation and in my efforts in the 1960s to secure the right to vote in Mississippi ... I have never encountered or heard of another instance in the United States where armed and uniformed men blocked the entrance to a polling location.
Can you believe the DOJ never did get around to entering Mr. Bull's affidavit! I know it is drama to say that I want to cry for this country and for my children, but that is how I feel. This is not justice.
The guilty are Acting-Assistant Attorney General Loretta King, appointed by Barack Obama, who delayed the case. Then King discussed it with Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli. He accepted the counsel of King:
She and other career supervisors ultimately recommended dropping the case against two of the men and the party and seeking a restraining order against the one man who wielded a nightstick at the Philadelphia polling place. Mr. Perrelli approved that plan, officials said.
Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-VA), a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee was prevented from interviewing the "front-line" lawyers who brought the charges. That's transparency for you!
Why am I being prevented from meeting with the trial team on this case? Mr. Wolf asked. "There are many questions that need to be answered. This whole thing just stinks to high heaven.
Yes, it stinks to high heaven, as most everything does connected to this administration. No need to worry, however, Wolf can't get anywhere with it, but Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) has some pull and he is meeting with King next week. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) is also to be allowed in the door. More from Rep. Wolf:
If showing a weapon, making threatening statements and wearing paramilitary uniforms in front of polling station doors does not constitute voter intimidation, at what threshold of activity would these laws be enforceable? Mr. Wolf asked.
Here's a quote from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights:
...in a June 16 letter to Justice that the decision to drop the case caused it "great confusion, since the NBPP members were "caught on video blocking access to the polls, and physically threatening and verbally harassing voters during the Nov. 4, 2008, general election.
Though it had basically won the case, [through default] the [Civil Rights Division] took the unusual move of voluntarily dismissing the charges , the letter said. "The division's public rationale would send the wrong message entirely -- that attempts at voter suppression will be tolerated and will not be vigorously prosecuted so long as the groups or individuals who engage in them fail to respond to the charges leveled against them.
To date, the Washington Times says their request for records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has yielded nothing.
AG Thomas Perrelli, whose word was the final decision, raised more than $500,000.00 for Obama for the presidential election.
I cannot begin to express my high-volume anger right now.
The New Black Panthers are identified as the party's chairman, Malik Zulu Shabazz, an attorney and a D.C. resident. It is not clear that Malik Zulu Shabazz was on the scene, but he is named in the suit. The nightstick bully is alleged to be Minister King SamirShabazz, of Philadelphia and head of the Philadelphia NBPP chapter; and Jerry Jackson, Philadelphia. The people of Philadelphia were subject to a thug from Washington, D.C.! The suit against these men alleged:
The civil suit filed Jan. 7 identified the three men as members of the Panthers and said they wore military-style uniforms, black berets, combat boots, battle-dress pants, black jackets with military-style insignias and were armed with "a dangerous weapon"and used racial slurs and insults to scare would-be voters and those there to assist them at the Philadelphia polling location on Nov. 4.
The complaint said the three men engaged in "coercion, threats and intimidation, ... racial threats and insults, ... menacing and intimidating gestures, ... and movements directed at individuals who were present to vote." It said that unless prohibited by court sanctions, they would "continued to violate ... the Voting Rights Act by continuing to direct intimidation, threats and coercion at voters and potential voters, by again deploying uniformed and armed members at the entrance to polling locations in future elections, both in Philadelphia and throughout the country."
In case you are not white with anger...yet, one more reminder: these men never did respond to the charges or appear in court. Could you get away with this? I could not.
The New Black Panthers in Philadelphia want us to know how responsible and credible they are. They've "suspended" their chapter in that city "until further notice." No elections to abuse coming up any time soon. Time to hit the streets and abuse someone there, or meet-up with ACORN for a little fun at the expense of voters everywhere.
And what about MalikZuluShabazz, who called Michelle Malkin a "political prostitute" - all cozy back home in Washington, D.C. where voters need no abuse to do the bidding of the New Black Panthers.
In the photo above, King SamirShabazz is on the left and Jerry Jackson is on the right, both of Philadelphia. See them in the video below - and note in the beginning of the video the polling precinct is said to be Pennsylvania, but you'll see it is identified on the screen as Philadelpia.
