ATTENTION BILL
O'REILLY! REGARDING JESSE
JACKSON $$$,
YOU
AREN'T CONNECTING ALL THE DOTS The
O'Reilly Factor Talking Points - 6.21.00 "I'm
Bill O'Reilly reporting from Chicago ... thanks for
watching us tonight. We
are here in the Windy City because this is the base of
Jesse Jackson whose finances we have been investigating
as you may know. And
that's the subject of this evening's Talking Points
memo. Trying
to pin down how much money Reverend Jackson's charities
get from donations and where that money goes is like
trying to grab a greased pole &emdash; it is nearly
impossible. Right
now Reverend Jackson oversees four organizations which
are receiving charitable contributions. The
Factor has obtained 1999 tax information for two of them
from the State of Illinois. The
combined income from Rainbow Push and the Push for
Excellence organization was more than four million
dollars, much of that money going for travel and
administrative expenses which are not itemized. In fact,
no one received a salary at Push for Excellence and after
the small salaries were paid at Rainbow more than three
million was left over money which was spent but we don't
know exactly how and neither does the State of
Illinois. But
the big winner for Jesse Jackson is his new Citizenship
Education Fund which runs the
Wall
Street Project.
Here the money flow is major:
$2,250,000
in
1998 and none of the officers at the Citizenship
Education Fund are receiving a salary. One trustee
member was paid 60 thousand dollars but that's it
&emdash; that means that big money is floating around in
unitemized expenses. The
Wall Street Project is designed to get minorities
involved in stocks and bonds. The Factor has learned that
the following entities gave Jackson's project significant
amounts of money in 1998: The Chicago Stock Exchange,
Dean Wiitter, Donaldson, Luftkin and Jenrette, Merrill
Lynch, Paine Webber, The Travelers Group and Time Warner
all kicked in 50 grand each and the New York Stock
Exchange threw a party for Jackson and wrote off 90
thousand dollars in expenses. And that is just a partial
list. As
we have reported previously unitemized travel expenses
for Jackson's organizations are running into the millions
each year but at this time the State of Illinois and the
IRS have not seen fit to audit the expenses. The
last time a Jackson organization was audited was during
the Reagan Administration in 1982 approximately one
million dollars was found unaccounted for. Jackson took
eight years to pay back 550,000 dollars in
penalties. Jackson
himself will not talk with us about his finances despite
being pressed by Hannity and Colmes. And
then by Fox anchor David Asman the Reverend took a
different tact. Now
we are not saying that Jesse Jackson is doing anything
wrong but two of his organizations are tax exempt and all
are charitable enterprises so tax deductions are being
taken. This
clearly puts Jackson's money into the public domain. He
himself is a millionaire and we would once again urge him
to explain his financial situation. And
that's the memo." By PAUL SHEPARD, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (January 6, 1998 01:18 a.m. EST -- Jesse
Jackson said Monday the death of Commerce Secretary Ron
Brown should be investigated "to relieve people of
reasonable doubt." "There is everything to be gained from pursuing an
investigation," Jackson said in an interview with New
York City talk radio host Gary Byrd. "It may only prove
that he was not murdered. But that would relieve people
of reasonable doubt." Air Force Lt. Col. Steve Cogswell, a deputy medical
examiner at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, said
in November that an unusual wound at the top of Brown's
head could have been a bullet hole, and an autopsy should
have been done to find out. Cogswell did not participate in the examination of
Brown's body after it was returned from Croatia. No
autopsy was conducted. Government investigators concluded that Brown died of
multiple injuries sustained in the crash of the Air Force
plane in which he was a passenger. The plane slammed into
a mountain in Croatia in April 1996, killing all 35
aboard. Col. William T. Gormley, the assistant armed forces
medical examiner who conducted the external examination
of Brown's corpse, was quoted in an Air Force statement
as saying he had ruled out the possibility of a gunshot
wound. "Due to the initial appearance of Brown's injuries we
carefully considered the possibility of a gunshot wound,"
Gormley said. "However, scientific data, including
X-rays, ruled out that possibility." But the government statements have done little to
quell the controversy, especially among some influential
blacks like NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and Rep. Maxine
Waters, head of the Congressional Black Caucus. Both have
called for further investigation of Brown's death. Two weeks ago, civil rights activist Dick Gregory was
arrested during a protest outside the Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology in Washington to demand an
independent investigation into Brown's death. "I think people have a right to know what really
happened," Jackson said.

Mia: While you are advising O'Reilley, remind him of the following:
"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
This is from 18 USC 953. I am not a lawyer, but perhaps someone more versed in the law might instruct me as to the reason Mr. Jackson is not currently under indictment for conducting his own private diplomatic missions. Perhaps, like Al Gore, Mr. Jackson is above the law, owing to "no controlling legal authority"?
This is affirmative action for responsibility, that is, the bar is moved down if you're an African American. It is racist of course, but it's the liberals' racism so it's ok.
Mia T, I bow to your superior skills at deduction! Sherlock Holmes would have NOTHING on you. You are exactly right, and I can't believe I failed to notice this (maybe because I was tracking all the OTHER scandals)!
This is a wonderful post, and I hope Bill O'Reilly has it called to his attention and reads it.
E-mail address: O'Reilly@foxnews.com
Thanks. I mailed him my comment above.
--Boris
Brilliant!
Finally, someone is starting to sift this turkey's finances. I would like to see how much in Government largesse this individual has collected since he became prominent in the 1970's. At that time Life magazine(I believe) "Boomed" his "anti-drug program".
name and town, name and town. I'm not bashful, I emailed a 'heads up' on this thread to Mr. O'Reilly.
Mia T = Freeper Treasure!!!
...perhaps someone more versed in the law might instruct me as to the reason Mr. Jackson is not currently under indictment for conducting his own private diplomatic missions.
I am not "versed in the law" much at all, but I can tell you this: There are certain public figures in this nation that are untouchable. Eliot Ness couldn't touch 'em. No one can.
One of those is Jesse Jackson.
Jackson can do or so whatever he wants. He can shake down whomever he wants. He can pile cash in slush funds from coast to coast. He is ABOVE reproach, BEYOND censure, and UNAVAILABLE for comment.
I suggest that fifty years from now, in a time where the fear and loathing perpetrated by the poverty and race pimps of our day has subsided to a background roar, the truths will be uncovered and the history books will attest to how horribly wrong the "civil rights" movement went beginning in the 1970s, and how it became a front for thuggery, scam artists and shakedown specialists.
Until then, don't hold your breath wondering when "justice" will be done.
... never again mentioned the need for an autopsy or an independent investigation of Ron Brown's death.
seemingly separate news items, seemlessly connected, nice. bump
Good point. Most of the current black leaders are more intent on their own enrichment than furthering their own race but they sure are RACIST aren't they ?
Hip Hip Hooray and three cheers for O'Reilly! It's about time that the Reveruuuunnd Jackson's finances are being scutinized as should those of Al Sharptongue & Co. Jackson took 8 years to pay back $500,000 and I don't believe Sharptongue has begun to satisfy his debt in the Tawana Brawley fiasco. Guess the pressures of living their millionaire lifestyles, wearing $2,000 suits while flying hither and thither to stay in the spotlight, leaves little to satisfy judgments against them.
Mia T = Freeper Treasure!!! -- Amen.
we had another famous MAN OF THE PEOPLE in Chicago who used the same methods as jesse to garnish funds .... called extortion. And our 'famous son' is none other than Al Capone.
This is peanuts compared to what Jackson has extorted from Corporate America, All it would take would, be for "one" company to stand up and say "we're not going to let you black mail us. Of course an "indictment" would be better, but I won't hold my breath.
Oreilly should call Sherman Skolnick. Sherman has a lot of information on this scam artist. in fact sherman is the only person in America to bring charges against him that have stuck. that was a few years ago, but sherman knows a lot regarding this POS. shermans number is 773.375.5741
Admirable effort Mia T, but let us not delude ourselves. The media-types like O'Reilly aren't going to delve so deeply into matters, as would uncover the real truth!
You big MEANIE! How can you be so cruel as to ask Rev. Jackson where he gets his money? 2,500 dollar suits don't grow on trees, you know. It's so petty to inquire about his multi-million dollar 100% pro-Democratic party political action committee. After all, there are republicans running non-political educational programs that DEMAND investigation. And they take in HUNDREDS of dollars!
Jackson can do or so whatever he wants. He can shake down whomever he wants. He can pile cash in slush funds from coast to coast. He is ABOVE reproach, BEYOND censure, and UNAVAILABLE for comment.
You said a mouthful and sadly, it's totally true.
Jesse Jackson will not be deeply investigated or exposed by anyone, public or private, much less by Bill O' Reilly who is a good guy but not about to try and face down The Rev. Jackson in a meaningful way. O'Reilly likes his job and his position and knows that Jackson is bullet proof.
As you said, someday, but not now. I hate to have to admit this about Jackson being so protected, but reality bites sometimes.
All it would take would, be for "one" company to stand up and say "we're not going to let you black mail us.
not likely to happen - Jesse Jackson, like it or not, is actually providing a somewhat legitimate service for these big corporations. Big corporation "donates" money to one of Jesse's slush fu...I mean charitable foundations, and Jesse provides them cover from all the other opportunistic negroes who might be inclined to sue the big corporation. Incredibly cynical of Jesse - but perfectly legal.
Well you know how it be. Jesse, like Martin Luther King are above all of the standards of law. It is unbelievable what has happened to this Country including the dumbing down of our educational system. Thanks again LBJ.
In Jessee Jackson's Chicago they have been paying it for years; it's called protection money!
I ask also, what's the difference between Jackson's MO and the Mafia? This called "extortion" and it is illegal. The problem is, O'Reilly is the only one with "gutts" enough to go after him. The only "service" he provides is to give publicity to himself and the thugs, criminals, rapists, and murderers he defends.
Enjoyed the format of your post
Bump. Good find. I'd like to see the Clinton-Gore IRS go after poverty pimps like the Revoruund Jackson the way they go after enemies of the Clinton-Gore administration. But it will never happen.
beautiful, elegant work. this is REAL news. Joe Farah at World Net has an eye for the real mccoy as well!!!
Don't take my word for it. Go in the FR archives and look at what subject was hotter than a pistol right before Lewinsky.
It's been a bad day for Jesse.
I have noticed that O'Reilly dismisses out of hand any allegation, however well supported, that smacks of right-wing zealotry. His analytic skills and/or his political courage fall far short of his bloated estimation of same.
What's O'Reilly's history, anyway? I read that he has the typical trophy wife with young child that befits a man recently arisen to wealth, as well as a divorced family more in keeping with his fifty+ years.
Am I wrong?
If I went around touting stocks and bonds, the SEC would put me in jail for violating about 500 laws and 10,000 regulations none of which I have ever heard of before.
Yet Jesse can go and shake down the BIG BOYS for millions with impunity? Does he offer a self-improvement course? I gotta get myself Jessiezed and learn how to grab the brass ring.
Bump for Mia
... and Modela is "investigating" Ashcroft for the Left:
How disappointed must Herman Munster be, to find that after all the patient wisdom he had imparted to his son Eddie over the years, he would grow only older, no wiser, change his name to Corn and become the Washington editor of a leftist feel-good cheerleading magazine which has a circulation of so minor a fraction of that of FRee Republic.
I seriously doubt that the yearly run of The Nation exceeds the number of visitors to FRee Republic any given day.
and Look ......... he's writing with Larry Flynt's Prat Boy Dumpster Diver Dan Modela

It's a beautiful day....
But not for JesseJamesJackson
Add Rush to your list of people "going after Jesse". As the Gaither song says, He'll go down for the IRS.
I'd hate to play a game of CLUE with ya...okay, I lied, I'd love to lose to you!
