truepundit--2020-01-15--Sanders Refused to Condemn Farrakhan Official’s Anti-Semitic Screed

As the Nation of Islam faced public and private pressure to moderate its rhetoric in the mid-1990s , Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders voted against a congressional measure condemning a series of virulent anti-Semitic statements by a leading member of the group .
In 1994 , Sanders was one of a small minority of congressmen who declined to back a resolution condemning the remarks by Khalid Abdul Muhammad , a black nationalist and New Black Panther Party member , who became a lightning rod for criticism in the 1990s due to his repeated public displays of anti-Semitism .
The remarks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kean College in 1993 , drew the condemnation of African-American leader Jesse Jackson , who called them “ racist , anti-Semitic , divisive , untrue , and chilling , ” and ultimately forced Farrakhan to expel Muhammad from the Nation of Islam .
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate voted to censure Muhammad for the speech , in which he referred to Jews as “ bloodsuckers ” and the pope as a “ cracker.
” Sanders was one of just 31 lawmakers who opposed the measure condemning Muhammad .
Sanders , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ congressional district , argued that the resolution would do little to combat anti-Semitism among black nationalist leaders like Farrakhan and Muhammad and , in fact , might help to feed it .
Anti-Semitism among black leaders like Muhammad is the result of joblessness and homelessness in underprivileged communities , Sanders contended .
“ I think the most important point that I would make , however , is that if we are concerned , as we must be , as to why that type of movement is gaining a foothold in the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to why people respond to that type of garbage and what we might do about it , ” Sanders said .
“ If we want to defeat the Nation of Islam and bigotry and racism and anti-Semitism , then most important , let us make the U.S. Congress begin to address the real problems facing the people in those communities.

Much of the U.S. economy is largely unscathed by two turbulent years of trade war with China, economic indicators show.
The biggest hit to the U.S. economy was a decline in agricultural exports to China. But this was largely ameliorated by the Trump administration’s decision to divert $28 billion of income from tariffs to U.S. farmers.

A few days before Christmas, Julian Assange testified to a Spanish court that a Spanish security company, UC Global S.L., acting in coordination with the CIA, illegally recorded all his actions and conversations, including with his lawyers, and streamed them back in real time to the CIA.
He will, at the end of February, make a similar complaint to a British extradition court about the CIA’s alleged misbehavior.
Will such misbehavior, if proven, set Assange free?
The Daniel Ellsberg case may be instructive. You may recall that after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the “Pentagon Papers” case, Ellsberg was indicted under the Espionage Act for leaking Pentagon documents to The New York Times and The Washington Post.
After the trial commenced in San Francisco, it was brought to the judge’s attention that the “White House plumbers” broke into the office of Ellsberg’s psychiatrist. Based on that information and other complaints of government misbehavior, including the FBI’s interception of Ellsberg’s telephone conversations with a government official, Judge William Matthew Byrne decided that the case should be dismissed with prejudice because the government acted outrageously.
For similar reasons, the case against Assange should be dismissed, if it reaches the U.S. courts.
The “plumbers” were a covert group formed by the Nixon White House to stop leaks of information from the government, such as the Pentagon Papers. They are notorious for their burglary at the Watergate complex, which led to former President Nixon’s downfall. Approximately nine months before the Watergate break-in, the plumbers, led by former CIA agent E. Howard Hunt, burglarized a psychiatrist’s office to find information that could discredit Ellsberg.
The CIA also was involved with the break-in. It prepared a psychiatric profile of Ellsberg as well as an ID kit for the plumbers, including drivers’ licenses, Social Security cards, and disguises consisting of red wigs, glasses and speech alteration devices.
Additionally, the CIA allowed Hunt and his sidekick, G. Gordon Liddy, to use two CIA safe houses in the D.C. area for meetings and storage purposes.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released an ad Monday invoking the legacy of President John F. Kennedy. But in previous remarks, Sanders harshly criticized Kennedy and said the former president nauseated him.
The praise of Kennedy marks a radical departure from Sanders’s previous rhetoric about the president. In a 1987 interview with the University of Vermont student paper, The Gadfly, the socialist candidate remembered Kennedy as the start of his disillusion with mainstream liberalism. “President Kennedy was elected while I was at the University of Chicago, that was 1960. I remember being physically nauseated by his speech and that doesn’t happen very often,” Sanders said.
Sanders told the student paper that he was particularly repulsed by Kennedy’s opposition to Fidel Castro’s revolution in Cuba. “Kennedy was young and appealing and ostensibly liberal, but I think at that point, seeing through Kennedy, and what liberalism was, was probably a significant step for me to understand that conventional politics or liberalism was not what was relevant,” he said. – READ MORE

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with ABC News, threatened the President saying “one way or another” he will be removed from office by next year.
She added that Democrats “may have him removed sooner” than that.
This doesn’t sound like the same woman who promised impeachment had no political motivation. That it pained her greatly to the point of prayer to even engage in the process.
Pelosi said today:
– Trump won’t be president next year “one way or another”
– Dems may “have him removed sooner” than the election
– Trump “will be impeached forever” It’s clear: Impeachment was a Democrat hit job to stain Trump’s legacy and hurt him at the polls. Nothing more. pic.twitter.com/LY4TUwNiuZ — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) January 12, 2020
“It’s Sunday morning — let’s be optimistic about the future … a future that will not have Donald Trump in the White House, one way or another, 10 months from now we will have an election, if we don’t have him removed sooner,” she said.
No, this isn’t politically motivated at all. Except it is. And Crazy Nancy, as Trump likes to call her, just admitted the desired outcome is not justice, it is the removal of the President of the United States. – READ MORE
