2020 Presidential Candidates Are Bleaching Conyers' Legacy By Promulgating Reparations Propaganda For The Purposes Of Stealin'

It seems the 2020 Presidential Candidates are severely deficient in the substance and purpose of H.R. 40, A Bill to study the reparations of slavery.

H.R. 40 had nothing to do with doling out a check based upon the color of one's skin.

This is nothing but another #coloredrevolution psyoptic for forced migration and trafficking tiny humans.

H.R. 40 was about a study, asking for $8 million to examine the residuals of the peculiar institution in the laws and administration of the United States.

But, of course, these people are going to continue bleaching history in transmogrifying history by making this about getting more money for funding their political campaigns and shopping.

You would think at least one of the candidates would actually read the original language of H.R. 40, but, as they have not, I have provided the Bill, for castigation purposes, only.

Yes, that is correct, the new movement to rewrite history includes rewriting H.R. 40 for more stealin' and the charge is being led by Sheila Jackson Lee, Her Flatulent Boviness and the "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending).

I smell Soros #coloredrevolution propaganda funding...........

Perhaps, one of the 2020 Presidential Candidates will take the time to read the Bill, below, since no one wants to #sayhisname.

In order to talk about the residuals of the peculiar institution, slavery, one must discuss the law behind it, which just so happens to be child welfare, or rather christianity.

Then, we have yet to have anyone present the operationalization in the tools of measurement for the determination criteria of being classified, legally, as being black.

Here is a more in depth background to the substance and purpose of the study of the residuals of the peculiar institution:

The Tale Of Reparations Propaganda: How They Are Attempting To Wipe Out Conyers Legacy

Presidential race revives Conyers’ push for reparations

John Conyers, Jr. wearing new glasses and
Mikey Duggen has lost more hair

Washington — U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr. introduced a bill in every Congress for nearly 30 years to study the institution of slavery and to recommend appropriate reparations.

The bill had a hearing in 2007 and never moved out of committee. 

But reparations has become a recurrent topic in the Democratic presidential primary campaign. At least a dozen high-profile candidates have said they would support the successor to Conyers’ bill and sign it if elected president.

Most candidates have not directly called for reparations, and only one, spiritual book author Marianne Williamson, has discussed hard numbers: $200 billion to $500 billion to be disbursed over 20 years, overseen by a council of black leaders.

“Anything less than $100 billion would be an insult,” she said in an interview.

Julian Castro, the former mayor of San Antonio and former housing secretary, has endorsed reparations to resolve the country's "original sin" of slavery.

"It is interesting to me that under our Constitution and otherwise, that we compensate people if we take their property. Shouldn't we compensate people if they were property, sanctioned by the state?" he said on MSNBC's "Hardball."

"I believe that’s a conversation worth having, and I see that as right and wrong." 

Proponents of reparations say racial disparities persist due to systemic racial discrimination for which the country needs to atone.

Brenda Lawrence

Critics say reparations would be too costly and doubt a causal link between slavery or segregation and the persistence of racial inequality today.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Southfield, a co-sponsor of H.R. 40, said the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow segregation cannot be separated from racial disparities in wealth, education, housing and criminal justice today.

"We need to have the conversation, and for anyone who is alive and breathing to know that the impact of slavery and racism on shaping present-day conditions in our community is real. It would be such an amazing breakthrough for this country in race relations," said Lawrence, the only African American in Michigan's congressional delegation.

"I am significantly encouraged that people who are running for the United States presidency have the courage and compassion to actually talk about this."

Not everyone views the candidates as sincere, including Anita Belle, a Detroiter and reparations activist who last month launched her own presidential campaign.

“Some of the people now expressing interest in reparations — it felt a little insincere, like they were just trying to get out the black vote,” said Belle, a co-chair of the Detroit chapter of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America and president of the Reparations Labor Union.

Anita Belle,
Reparations Candidate for President

"It's too important issue, not just for the black community but for the nation to just have it be treated like it's a political carrot. That’s part of why I wanted to run for office, so we can have a comprehensive approach to reparations.”

Calling for commission

Conyers started introducing what's known as H.R. 40 in 1989, choosing the bill number to symbolize the "40 acres and a mule" promised to slaves by Union Army Gen. William T. Sherman in 1865.

Conyers last reintroduced the legislation on the first day of the new Congress in 2017.

"I'm not giving up," he said during a briefing, according to NBC News. "Slavery is a blemish on this nation's history and until it is formally addressed, our country's story will remain marked by this blight."

Conyers resigned from Congress amid misconduct charges later that year. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, took up lead sponsorship of the bill, which has 52 co-sponsors but remains in committee.

Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, another presidential hopeful, recently introduced a version in the Republican-controlled Senate, which is unlikely to take it up.

Economist Darrick Hamilton

Institute for the Study of
Race and Ethnicity at
Ohio State, which
does not exist

Conyers "is no longer in Congress, but I hope his contributions are held up and the man is properly attributed for being steadfast in bringing this up every term and keeping it on the forefront," said economist and reparations advocate Darrick Hamilton at Ohio State University.

"He should be credited for those acts of justice. Whether it was politically viable or even risked political cost, he was steadfast in his claim toward justice."

The components of a reparations program would include acknowledgement of centuries of slavery and discrimination, redress through a form of compensation and closure, Hamilton said.

FUN FACT! THE KIRWAN INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF RACE & ETHNICITY AT OHIO STATE DOES NOT EXIST, IS NOT REGISTERED ANYWHERE AND ITS WEBSITES HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN, EXCEPT FOR THIS PAGE:

http://kirwaninstitute.osu.edu/weeklyforum/

Trafficking Tiny Humans Propaganda

The first step is H.R. 40, he added, by which a congressional commission would authenticate the history and come to a formal consensus on what reparations should look like. They could take the form of checks from the federal government or the transfer of stock or land or other assets.

Hamilton views reparations as critical to addressing the wealth gap between black and white Americans.

"If we do H.R. 40 in a really systematic way, we better understand how we got to this moment of inequality, and it dissipates the ability to bastardize the poor and black and brown people as being undeserving, because of their efforts," Hamilton said.

Conservatives have argued that reparations aren't viable in part because there are no slaves to pay reparations to today.

Civil rights attorney Roger Clegg has said that limiting a social program to one race would be unconstitutional, saying the Supreme Court has ruled that claims of societal discrimination to be insufficiently compelling to justify racial classifications.

"We are told that these apologies will help bring closure, help enable us to move on. Nonsense," Clegg, president and general counsel for the Center for Equal Opportunity, testified in 2007 during a hearing that Conyers convened on H.R. 40.

"The idea is to reopen wounds, to keep grievance alive, to keep white people on the hook. An obsession with past wrongs, to the extent that present opportunity and future promise are ignored or slighted, is a bad thing."

Candidates on reparations

Barack Obama opposed reparations during his 2008 campaign for president, as did Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in 2016, the latter calling them "very divisive" and unlikely to pass Congress. 

Now, Sanders seems more open to the idea, endorsing H.R. 40 last month.

"We’re going to do everything we can to put resources into distressed communities and improve lives for those people who have been hurt by the legacy of slavery,” he said at a CNN town hall in February.

But asked directly about reparations, Sanders said, "It depends on what that word means." 

"What does that mean? I'm not sure anyone's very clear," he said.

Sanders was perhaps referring to how some of his opponents have framed "reparations" to encompass broader policies that would help black communities. '

Booker has proposed a universal "baby bonds" program that would gift every child a savings account with federal contributions that would be greater for children in poverty in an effort to address the racial wealth gap.

Baby Bonds? This is code for corporate parental rights by finding, yet, another way to steal more money from the Children's Trust Funds.  This is nothing but another form of trafficking tiny humans, more readily recognized as, selling chattel.  Corey! You cannot sell babies.  Stop selling children! WTF Dude!!!!!!!!!

Foster Care Bonds: Making Child Slavery, Sexy Again

A campaign spokesman told NPR that baby bonds can be interpreted as a form of reparations because more money would go to low-income children who are disproportionately black.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California, was asked about reparations and spoke about her plan to give families making $100,000 or less a tax credit — a proposal that would aid 60% of black families in poverty, she told the website theGrio.

"When you take into account that they're not starting at the same place, they're not starting on equal footing, it will directly benefit black children, black families, black homeowners — because the disparities are so significant,” Harris said.

Williamson said race-conscious policies aren't enough because they leave open the question of "whose fault it is."

"The reason I feel that reparations are so important is because reparations carries an inherent mea culpa," she said.

"There's an emotional, psychological and spiritual force to reparations that is not there with race-based policies, and it sure as heck isn't there with one more lame conversation about 'how we really need to talk about this,' or 'we really need to study this.' The facts are clear. You do it, or you don't do it."

Williamson, who "knew and learned from" Conyers during eight years she lived in the Detroit area, is credited with launching the reparations conversation in the Democratic primary in January.

Liar.

She talks about reparations at every campaign stop, and the topic gets applause even from all-white audiences in Iowa, South Carolina and California, she said. 

She tells campaign audiences about how Germany has paid over $89 billion in reparations to Jewish victims of Nazi crimes, and how the U.S. government paid reparations to Japanese Americans interned during World War II.

Williamson said reparations won't mean slavery never happened or that suddenly  "everything will be fixed."

"Obviously, this is a multi-dimensional issue and must be dealt with in multidimensional ways, a lot of which has to do with our own attitudinal healing in terms of privilege and so forth," she said. 

"But I believe that reparations would be a serious disrupter — a serious healing that would be a great gift to our children and our children's children," she added.

Change in tone 

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who represents a majority African-American district in Detroit and Wayne County, attributes the shift in tone on reparations to grassroots activists and coalitions raising African American justice issues such as education and police accountability.

"All those things I think are so interconnected to why you all of a sudden see people elevating the issue of reparations," said Tlaib, who succeeded Conyers in Congress and has co-sponsored H.R. 40.

"This is important atonement for a great wrong in our country that we have really yet to reconcile."

Hamilton also credits the new attention to reparations to the influence of social movements such as Black Lives Matter, as well as a growing public understanding of the concentration of wealth and political power at the top.

"Also, having someone like Donald Trump, who has been divisive in his political approach, both in rhetoric and in many ways actions, has not afforded America the ability to euphemize our racial divisions," Hamilton said.

He stressed the significance of race being discussed in a more serious way by presidential candidates and their embrace of H.R. 40.

"Whether particular legislators are getting it right or wrong, I think the really good news is we’re at a point where we can be explicit about race so as to even keep reparations as part of the national conversation," he said.

Cocktails & Popcorn: NAACP Partners With Kamala Harris, Corey Booker & Elizabeth Warren To Rally A Legal Defense Strategy In Detroit

When Swendell Anthony rallied the battle cry, "Vote for your life. Your freedom depends on it", he was not joking.

I think that is why Kamala pushed that anti-lynching bill.

Here is a bit of background on the NAACP that I believe encourages Corey Booker and Elizabeth Warren to champion Swendell's battle cry.

No one will #sayhisname.

64th Annual NAACP Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner

(FOX 2) - The tables set, dressed to impress in the packed ballroom at Cobo Center for the 64th Annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner.

 The focus was on policy and politics with the 2020 Presidential Race as the backdrop.

 Head of the NAACP Detroit Branch, Reverend Doctor Wendell Anthony led the more than four hour program.Governor Gretchen Whitmer at Sunday's event is promising a strong partnership with the NAACP now and during her time in office.

Of course all eyes were on keynote speaker U-S Senator Kamala Harris who’s gunning for the white house race in a crowded democratic field of candidates.

 Touting her platform no question this was a campaign stop Harris.

 Over the years the Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner showcased African American politicians but they don't endorse candidates because they are a nonpartisan organization.

 But there were many mentions of how important this next election is for the African American community.

DEFANGO: Jussie Smollet Criminal Case Dropped 'Whitewash of Justice' - #Coloredrevolution Update - NAACP

"Will run Detroit psyops for campaign funding"

Is Jussie Smollet the new superhero for the NAACP?

I only ask because the NAACP has some issues, itself. 

See, it goes like this.

Once upon a time, the Meanies were really mean to my Sweetie.

So, what had happened was someone asked my #Superfans to look into it, because it goes all the way back to Watergate.

Watergate is part of the Civil Rights History of the U.S., but the Meanies are trying really, really hard to rewrite it by what I call the #coloredrevolution because it is how they get elected and make money, of which I prefer to call stealin'.

Yes, the #coloredrevolution has to do with dark psyoptics because they are throwing shade to what they did.

See, it goes like this.

Someone called this entire investigation years ago, in multiple venues within the law enforcement communities, and in multiple legislative actions, like the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Reauthorization Act of 2016, which had to do with Watergate and Whitewater re-investigations and the lack of action by the FBI and DOJ.

So, what had happened was, one day, some "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) came up with the really cleaver idea of co-opting and bastardizing, proactively, mind you, any possible legal investigation of what they were about to do, and that was their Detroit #MeToo Moment to cloak their egregious election interference operations.

The "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) came up with the idea of an "anti-lynching" bill which was nothing but a propaganda project by having Kamala Harris and Corey Booker take the lead an introduce, replete with a full scaled, campaign finance, money laundering, called "Justice for Victims of Lynching Act".

The Anti-Lynching Bill, itself, was dumb because they, once again, had transmographied U.S. history by flushing the legacy of John Conyers, Jr., down the toilet to save their asses for jacking up the 2016 election.

Well, that just gave me the Saddy Face because it seems it came out of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which is not incorporated, but a subset of the Smithsonian Institute.

They were running anti-lynching psyops to secure more federal grants for more propaganda to generate more revenues.

The NMAAHC operates under the Smithsonian, with over $6 Billion in assets, because it is not incorporated. I am not finding any corporate registration of the organization which leads me to believe it is a passthrough for money laundering, just like the NAACP.

The "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) destroyed the legacy of Emmet Till Act because it is about investigating stuff that went on during the civil rights era, or, for those of you who are just jumping aboard this ship of WATERGATE, for the nasty stuff that went on behind the scenes to cover up the Child Abuse Protection Treatment Act, modern day human trafficking.

And you know who was over Watergate?

Yes, the same individuals who pulled off the Detroit #MeToo Moment, wanted to make sure they suppressed any form of legal precedent in the forms of impeachment, simply for the fact that the impeachment process was originally constructed with the intentions of Hillary Clinton winning the 2016 General Election.

But she did not.

Because she was hoisted by her own petards.

Because it was another #coloredrevolution operation by "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending).

These are the same people who were stealing' children, land and votes, as a right of ascension, a residual of the peculiar institution, by any means necessary.

These are the people who are running foreign corporate, funded psyops in the form of reparations propaganda.

These individuals are just another group of operatives who will do whatever it takes to keep their hair and nails "did".

First Assistant to the Cook County State Attorney Joseph Magats -- who replaced Kim Foxx when she recused herself from the Smollett case -- just did an interview explaining why he and his office dropped all their charges against Jussie ... but it raises more questions that answers. First off, Magats says one big factor in why they dropped the charges has to do with the fact that Jussie doesn't have a violent criminal history, not to mention that this wasn't a violent crime. Magats says his office prioritizes violent crimes in Chicago, and felt this case wouldn't be the best use of resources. For the record, he says he made this decision alone ... without consultation from Kim Foxx. Links to sources:

Happy Black History Month: A Tribute To Juicy "Jussie" Smollett For The 2019 Lynching LARP

Jussie Smollett, the black, gay, Jewish actor of the hit show Empire, has made it into the annals of history, and it is not just for Black History Month.

Jussie has taken the lead as the greatest LARP of 2019.

Elizabeth Warren held that title in 2018.

MAGA Attacker Nigerian Brothers Abimbola & Olabinjo Osundairo (right)

It seems Twitter has taken down his name in the trending section.

It also seems Corey Booker and Kamala Harris may have some association with the situation as the attack was timed with their lynching bill, but, hey, what do I know?

HERE ARE ALL THE POLITICIANS WHO RUSHED TO JUDGEMENT ON THE SMOLLETT ‘HATE CRIME’

I know this is another effort to bastardize civil rights history by wiping out Conyers' legacy.

I know what Juicy Jussie did was a hate crime against humanity.

I know not one Jewish, anti-semetic group has lifted a finger for "Juicy Jussie".

Where are all the Jewish anti-semetic groups coming to his defense?

Smollett's attorneys refute charges attack on client was staged

It appears that Jussie Smollett tried to manufacture a hate crime to make Trump supporters look bad and most of the media not only uncritically accepted his lies as facts for weeks, but attacked those who questioned the validity of his false story.

JUSSIE SMOLLETTCASE TO GO TO GRAND JURY ...Doubt MAGA Comment Because Trump Folks Don't Watch 'Empire'

A grand jury will hear the Jussie Smollett case early next week ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Law enforcement sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ, the 2 brothers who were arrested and then released are staying somewhere around the Loop in downtown Chicago under the watchful eye of police so no one gets to them. We're told cops especially want to make sure Jussie does not contact the brothers.

We're told when police raided the home of the 2 brothers they found magazines with pages torn out, and authorities are now trying to determine if the missing pages are connected to the threatening letter that was sent to Jussie 8 days before the alleged attack.

Maine Waters & Juicy Smollett

Our sources say early on they asked Jussie if he'd sign complaints against the 2 men who attacked him and he was clear that he would. But, when he found out the 2 brothers were the ones in custody we're told he said he knew them, felt bad for them and declined to sign the complaints. 

Our sources say although cops believe the brothers purchased the rope that was around Jussie's neck after the incident, there is no surveillance video at the hardware store because it erases after a week.

We're told the way they tracked the 2 brothers down was by their movements in arriving and leaving the scene around Jussie's apartment building. As we reported, they left in either a cab or an Uber, but we're told cops tracked the vehicle and the 2 brothers got out on their way home and into another vehicle. As one source put it, "It was almost like a bad spy movie."

The sources say there were red flags from the get-go. Cops were extremely suspiciouswhen Jussie took them out to the area where he said he was attacked and pointed to an obscure camera saying how happy he was that the attack was on video. Turns out the camera was pointing in the wrong direction. Cops thought it was weird he knew the location of that camera.

And, there's this. We're told investigators didn't believe the 2 alleged attackers screamed, "This is MAGA country," because, "Not a single Trump supporter watches 'Empire.'"

And, a few loose ends ... we're told when cops picked up the 2 brothers at O'Hare Airport, police were armed with 3 warrants for each man, one of which was to seize their phones.    

We're also told there is no video of a "rehearsal" of the attack in the street.

Jussie and his lawyer have vehemently denied the attack was staged, maintaining this was a hate crime.

CONYERS v. TRUMP: DOJ Files To Certify Dismissal Of Case Violating Foreign Emolument Clause

The following is from the 9-28-2018 Order:

Accordingly, the Court finds that plaintiffs have standing to sue the President for allegedly violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause. The Court therefore DENIES IN PART the motion to dismiss and DEFERS ruling on the remaining arguments in the motion to dismiss.

The Foreign Emoluments Clause provides: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State. U.S Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 8.  

DOJ motioned 10-22-2018 to certify the interlocutory appeal to "advance termination of the litigation" based on "difference of opinions".

The timing is impeccable considering that the DOJ OIG report has yet to be released and the 2018 General Election is 11-06-2018, which would be facts, not opinions.

The docket, complaint, motion and order are below.

SCOTUS is in play and so is John Conyers, Jr., because he was never removed as a party.

Nip It In The Bud: DOJ Moves To Fast Track Appeal In Trump Emoluments Case

Justice Department attorneys want to give one of the myriad lawsuits accusing President Trump of violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause a quick death.

In a court filing late Monday, DOJ attorneys sought permission to appeal immediately a September ruling that found nearly 200 members of Congress do have standing to sue Trump for violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause.

Government attorneys argue that allowing the appeal would “materially advance the termination of this litigation.”

“If the D.C. Circuit decides the issue in the President’s favor, this case would be dismissed, thereby avoiding the need to address Plaintiffs’ novel Foreign Emoluments Clause claim and preserving both the Court’s and the parties’ resources,” attorneys from the Justice Department’s civil division write in the filing.

U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan of Washington, D.C., ruled in late September that members of Congress have standing to sue Trump over the alleged emoluments violation. The members argue in their lawsuit that Trump’s receipt of gifts – through his self-branded hotel chain, foreign intellectual property rights, and The Apprentice TV licensing fees – constitute foreign governmental gifts that should be subject to congressional approval under the Constitution.

Andy Grewal, a law professor at the University of Iowa, said that “judges grant these types of requests if they can in fact speed up the end of the litigation.”

“The idea is that if you resolve this one issue, this will end quickly,” he said. “And that’s a reason to grant the request.”

Sullivan’s September ruling only rejected half of an attempt by the Trump Administration to quash the lawsuit. The judge did not rule on the other half – on whether Trump-owned companies taking money from foreign governments counts as an emolument.

Regardless, the government slammed Sullivan’s ruling as “in substantial tension” with legal precedent.

“Congress can still vote on whether to consent or to withhold consent to the President’s alleged acceptance of foreign emoluments,” government attorneys argue. “If the President’s past alleged violations cannot be adequately remedied by congressional action now, it is not clear how this Court would be in a better position to provide a remedy.”

Since Sullivan’s ruling only concerned standing and came at an early stage in the court case, the government needs permission to file an immediate appeal.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and then-Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-MI) filed the lawsuit in June 2017, along with 194 other Democratic members of Congress.

The suit alleges that foreign governments have used Trump’s businesses to exercise influence on the executive branch. It specifically cites instances like the granting of foreign patents to Trump-owned businesses and foreign diplomats renting Trump hotel rooms en masse as examples of emoluments that were accepted without congressional approval.

“Because [Trump] has failed to come to Congress and seek its consent for at least some foreign emoluments that have been the subject of public reporting, it is impossible to know whether Defendant has also accepted, or plans to accept, other foreign emoluments that have not yet been made public,” the members alleged in the lawsuit, adding that Trump’s acceptance of the gifts had “thwarted the transparency that the ‘Consent of Congress’ provision was designed to provide.”
