“The thrust [of the county courthouse] is to physically remove and destroy families
through the use of the criminal justice system. Every person they can put in jail;
every person whose voting rights they can revoke with a felony conviction;
every person they can cause to lose their job by putting them on probation;
every person they can cause to lose the ability to pay for basic necessities through
imposing ruinous court costs and probation is all part of the process. In the 1960s,
it was called Negro removal. In Bosnia, it was called ethnic cleansing. It could be
called genocide, the removal of the minority population for the purpose of
redevelopment of the land. That’s what’s happening in Benton Harbor and the
foremost leader of the resistance is Rev. Edward Pinkney.” -Atty. Hugh "Buck" Davis

MASS DEMONSTRATION IN BENTON HARBOR

MASS DEMONSTRATION IN BENTON HARBOR
JULY 19,2008 ALL ORGANIZATIONS

Some judges, prosecutors, lawyers and police officers are corrupt.
These public officials work for us. We, the people, do not work for them. Through the taxpayers’ money, our money, we have taxation without any representation in Berrien County, Michigan

Judges, prosecutors and police officers have sworn an oath to protect every U.S. citizen, to make sure that justice is served according to the state and federal regulations, through legislative laws and to protect our constitutional rights.

When these various officials violate our rights, they need to be exposed and held accountable for deliberate actions of violating our rights. Many times corruption stems from their motivation of greed.

Judge Alfred Butzbaugh, who sent his denial of a retrial to the news media first for the third time instead of sending it to the defendant’s attorney, has been known for his corruption. He is a liar, dishonest, corrupt and a disgrace to every respectable judge in the nation. He violated or watched as over twenty of Rev. Pinkney’s constitutional rights were violated during his trial. He watched prosecutor Gerald Vignasky bribe, threaten and coerce witnesses to perjure themselves on the stand.

Our forefathers felt that in order to have justice we must have a jury of our peers. It is obvious that a jury of ones peers must be people who actually know the defendant, ones who have the same rank, are equal before
the law and have the same values. How else would they be able to judge motive and intent?

Juries today are pro-prosecutor which is against the law and they are motivated by something other than truth and justice. Peers of the defendant, like the rights of juries, have been severely tarnished. We must say no more to all white juries in cases with non-white defendants.

Our mission is to work for the reform of a broken system that destroys far more individuals and families than it helps. This is at an immense cost to the taxpayers of this country and is outright criminal.

In order to bring about changes in the system, it will take a community of people to rise up and take a stand against the corruption in the system in an effort to save and protect our rights. We need your help in this cause!

Berrien County, Michigan is out of control. Anytime we have a corrupt judge like Judge Alfred Butzbaugh and a corrupt prosecutor like Gerald Vignasky, we must change the system. There is power in numbers so please join us in our goal to protect every U.S. citizen and their human rights.

It is not possible have a shut down of news in modern America. However, you can have, as Frank Rich and Sidney Blumenthal have pointed out, a steady stream of lies polluting the news. You already have is a news media directing a stream of false information that is so relentless it is
Increasingly hard to sort out truth from untruth. It is not just the
lies that count but the muddying. When citizens cannot tell real news from fake they give up their real demand for accountability bit by bit.
The Herald Palladium, led by Julia Swida , Scott Aikens and Dave Brown is known as the “herald pollution” because of all the racist garbage the newspaper writes. The paper is owned by Paxton Group Media, whose headquarters are located in Paducah, Kentucky.

You are not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it or does it. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will.


Join us on July 19, 2008 in our mass demonstration for justice against police brutality against Black, Brown and Poor Whites.
FIGHT RACISM IN AMERICA AND THE RACIST NEWS MEDIA!

WE WANT EVERY ORGANIZATION ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO COME.

"It is obvious that a jury of ones peers must be people who actually know the defendant, ones who have the same rank, are equal before the law and have the same values."

That is an obvious statement if you are a racist. Let's take that statement step by step and show you how you are so utterly wrong.

1. Know the defendant - that actually makes a person inellegible to serve on a jury
2. Same Rank - All fake reverends? Heck even if you say all reverends.
3. Equal before the law - A great inflamatory statement with no basis in reality
4. Have the same values - In this case it would mean someone else who thinks it is ok to fix an election? (regardless of whether he is innocent or not that would be the criteria)

"We must say no more to all white juries in cases with non-white defendants."

Then start a grass root campaign to make sure that blacks change their address at the DMV and notify the proper authorities so that they can serve on juries. If you get a majority of residents to correct these things and keep them updated and this is still a problem, then bring it up again.

"When citizens cannot tell real news from fake they give up their real demand for accountability bit by bit."

Hear hear... finally a bit of truth. Of course this site is a prime example.

"The Herald Palladium, led by Julia Swida , Scott Aikens and Dave Brown is known as the 'herald pollution' because of all the racist garbage the newspaper writes. The paper is owned by Paxton Group Media, whose headquarters are located in Paducah, Kentucky."

Paxton is a non issue because they only acquired the paper in 2000 and you have I presume hated them longer than that. One interesting fact is that John Klock was one of the paper's founders.

And you close it with another racist statement. I love it.

"Join us on July 19, 2008 in our mass demonstration for justice against police brutality against Black, Brown and Poor Whites."

Police Brutality is wrong against anyone regardless of race. I'd hate to be white (and not poor), or latino, or oriental, or native american, etc... in the world you wish to create.

Oh also as an aside... you forgot to name the place and time for the meeting.

Can poor whites serve on a jury if a black person is the defendant? If so, can you give some guidance as to the exact dollar threshold to be considered eligible for jury status? And please include whether that is pre or post-tax income levels.

Also, there sure are a lot of reverends around here. Can I be one?

Thanks.

How many white people should be allowed on juries? Can we have 2, if there are also 2 Asians? Or do 3 Latino's equal 4 Whites? Need some guidance from this well-informed crowd on what, exactly, is the allowable number of white people on juries.

Thanks very much.

Is this site and organization interested in helping Benton Harbor residents? Is it even pretending to anymore or is it just a racist tirade? I used to assume you just didn't know any better, but as each day goes by I am realizing that it is just a plain racist website, as bad as the nazi's, white supremicists and other hate organization websites.

I sense a common refrain: its "the system"; its "white people", etc. How simplistic.

Progress starts in the home. Children must study very hard the fundamentals of reading, writing and math. Do parents in Benton Harbor ensure this is done each night?

Do not drop out of school. Graduate, go to college on one of the many student loan or grant programs. Graduate. Do not listen to people that say you are a victim. Take charge of your own future. Be financially independent.

I have yet to see any of the Pickney followers (or perhaps its simply Pickney himself posting under numerous names) preach about education and developing skills that can create financial independence. Its all "you are a victim; now send me some money" baloney.

Wake up.

St. Joseph is corrupt too. All they care about are the tourist and rich residents and could care less about the poor people that live in the St. Joseph Housing Commission.

The problem is generational in BH. All too many families are crack families. The parents were crack babies 15-25 years ago and are now having their own.

Crack babies generally have a lower IQ as well as other difficulties. This means that a great deal of parents just unable to care properly for their children, they had no examples and just don't have the ability.

Thank you for coming to the North Star Center in Lansing last night and telling your story.

We are going to begin making plans to bring a huge contingent (we're talking buses here) of people to the demonstration next July.

As an aside to the people posting defensive comments and accusing this site of being racist: Put yourselves in check...please.

As whites, we need to realize that our role throughout our history has been that of an oppressor. Our glorious history began in 1492 with the genocide of almost an entire race of people. Are you proud of this? I'm embarrassed and ashamed. We are a nation that enslaved blacks and made women second class citizens (some can argue it still goes on and they have a good point!). Again, I'm embarrassed and ashamed. That unfortunately has been the history and it's a fact. We continue to live in a racist state and racist nation that continuously infringes upon the rights of people of color, women, non-Christians, non-heterosexuals, and the poor and middle class. And lets take it a step further - whites whose idealogy does not match the ruling classes and corporations agenda - are also under attack. That's a fact. For once though it would be nice to see white males acknowledging their white, male, middle class, and heterosexual privilege and show some accountability for what has taken place. But instead, most keep pointing fingers and being defensive - but that's not going to make the problem go away. We are all slaves right now - to a system of government that only shows accountability to the corporations who line their pocket. We are headed for a police state and if you have doubts about it - read your history - we are guilty as Americans of not knowing our history and other nations' histories. There are parallels here that can not be purely coincidental.

I apologize for the lengthy post - but to conclude, the only way to fix the problem is to come together as one. We need to unite. Whether you're an environmentalist, anti-war, human rights, immigration, or whatever the issue you stand for - we all need to stand together because we are fighting against the same problem.

Finally, there is only one race of people - the human race. We share 99.4% of the same DNA - We are all brothers and sisters and like in any family - we're stuck with each other. We may have different religions, different ethnicities, different values, but inside we are all one human family. We need to put whatever differences we have aside and stand together as one united front.

Thanks again for coming to Lansing. We are with you.

Peace,
Chris Singer

I think I'm starting to get it. White people are bad. Whirlpool controls everything. Its a massive conspiracy, and people on this board are powerless victims of Whirlpool's evil genius plans. The only way to make everything better is to give more and more money to Pickney.

It appears that you are dealing with corrupt judges and prosecutors.It is vitally important that you immediately
rid yourself of any delusion that
judges and prosecutors will
spontaneously become impartial later in the proceedings.Once a
judge reveals his corruption,you
must take a stand.Corrupt judges and prosecutors are a serious threat to the fabric of society and it is your patriotic duty to tackle the problem with all the power.

Ok, first of all mr "Staff Attorney"... yeah right. My guess is at most you attended a few months of community college, probably not even that with writing skills such as yours.

Chris, our history doesn't start in 1492. What about the enslavement of the jews around 1,000 years before Christ by the African Egyptians?

"It is estimated that possibly as many as 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic (95% of which went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions. Only 5% of the slaves went to the United States). However, at least 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. As at least 80% of those captured by Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave markets, it is believed that the death toll from the 14 centuries of Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been over 112 million."
- http://www.truthandgrace.com/muslimslavery.htm

Slavery is an abhorent thing, but it wasn't limited to white men.

Also get some other facts straight. Women were not second class citizens, they were considered part of the family unit and the men were the leaders of the family. I am not saying this was right, it was just the way people believed. As beliefs changed the law changed with them. Should it have changed sooner, most certainly.

You asked me to take accountability for what has taken place? Most certainly not. I did not enslave anyone, my ancestors did not enslave anyone. Why should I be singled out because of the color of my skin just because someone hundreds of years ago enslaved people? By that incredibly one sided and racist argument then every black man should take accountibility too because blacks have enslaved people in the world, all muslims should as well. That is ridiculous. Are you also going to find every decendant of murderers from the 1800's and give the death penalty to them too because they have "murderer blood". Think about this.

"We are all slaves right now - to a system of government that only shows accountability to the corporations who line their pocket."

You are obviously new to this website Chris because this website is based on the assumption that Whirlpool magically doesn't pay taxes, so they have their pockets lined they don't line any pockets (yeah I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either). The rest of that statement is ridiculous too. The system is accountable to the people and you have voting power to make changes. (and do not bring up Pinkney's buying the vote, he was convicted and the election reheld, so that is done).

Let me close by saying once again that of course racism exists, always has, always will. It works with every combination. Blacks hating whites, whites hating blacks and all combinations of everyone. It is however a weak defense to blame every ill on white men. That is absolutely ridiculous.

In my life I have committed no crimes, I have never struck another person in my life, though I have been struck. I have never smoked, never drank and never done drugs. I read my bible as often as I am able. I work 7 days a week to raise my children, yet because the color of my skin you judge me. Because of the color of my skin you call me racist. Because of the color of my skin you think I should be ashamed of what others did 200 years ago.

There are a LOT of bad things in history, a lot to learn from, but none that I am responsible for.

There are a few ways out of bondage.Bloodshed and War often result,but our founding fathers
learned of a better way.Realizing that a creator is always above and greater than that which an informed citizenry can control those acting in the name of government,to be a good master you must always remember the true pecking order or chain of command
in this nation;God created man,man
that[is you]created the constitution.The constitution created government,and government created corporations.The base of the power was to remain with the people,but it was lost to those leaders acting in the name of government,such as politician,bureaucrats,judges,lawyers,etc. Evenually abundance diminishes and dependency becomes
known by its true nature;bondage!!!!!!

Your assumption?? Damn Rev Pinkney
is using the donations that he is receiving to do battle with your WHITE racist Justice system.
Hell Yeah (You have pissed me off)
he needs the financial support from
people who believe that he is being
railroad by your White corrupted court system.

I have been a personal close friend
of Rev Pinkney since the beginning
of his struglle with Benton Harbor/
Berrien County. I was there when
the court had NO OTHER choice by to
let the Brother go, and that was not good enough they brought the Rev back into court on some more
bs.

You know I must agree that some of
you is waaay to far in the future
by planning a Demonstration in JULY
2008? get real. Why wait that long before hosting a BIG protest?

That's 8 months away from now (if GOD allows some of us to live), and what I can't understand is what
about the spring months? Why not
hold a Demonstration in March,April
May?

Its to many Chiefs in no Indians
who is trying to earn some brownie
points. What everyone should be
getting prepared for is the event
in Kalamazoo in January on the
Western Michigan University campus.
(The exact date,time,and directions
will be posted in three weeks on this site).

Also we have posters on this site
who is forever taking things,and
running wild with the information.

I am going to reply to the below
comment, due to the fact that this
person isn't really looking at the BIG picture, and can't see the harm
that's being done with unfair whites serving as juriers.

Race isn't the issue when it comes
down to jurie selections. Its the
fairness that counts, and allowing
jury members to serve who work for
Whirlpool isn't fair.

Thereforth the majority of Whirlpool/Cornerstone is white,
and of course they will do any
thing to please their boss (including lying)

In closing, I suggest you take your
complaint or concern to Berrien County, and ask them what you just posted.

Speaking of Mass Demostrations!!!
Why not get together (all groups
and organizations)and form a major
Statewide protest throughout the
State of Michigan?

What's wrong you are scared to stand up for your rights that's
been violated? Its happening in
the poor white areas,but the media
isn't broadcasting that, and the
newspaper media is looking the other way.

But when it comes to Benton Harbor
against Rev Pinkney, who is doing
a very positive job battling a
struggle against racism,unfair
justice, government corruption,
the media is hiding in trees or
in bushes spying on the Rev,and
to the Rev I say fight on my bro
man fight on...we got your back.

One does not have to waste his or her time pointing a racist out,due
to the fact the racist will stick out like a white light in the dark
sky, and we shouldn't have to be
told or reminded how a racist will
operate.

Look at how the entire justice system is playing with Rev Pinkney.
The Judge,the faggot Prosecutor,
and the person who is in charge of
the jury pool selection know that
Pinkney is a free man.

However, they are feeling that if
they can't get him in one way they
will try another way, but like my
Brother Rev Ed always tell me....
WilliamX they know I have whipped
their tails, and believe me I know
what he is saying is true.

In closing, my question is are we
going to allow this kind of mess
to continue? Are we going to wake
up to the fact that we are the
government, or are we going to fight together to make things
right?

Between January 13th & the end of the summer. We will have time to at
least organize a protest rallie in
at least 6 major Michigan cities.

Rev Pinkney, has already spoken at
three of the places, but there's
nothing wrong with rallying there
again, and lets remember Rev will
support us if he can, and I can't
see why organizations & groups can
not support him.

" To the Green Party " Thanks for
supporting Rev Pinkney.

Signed...Bro WilliamX

(**** Correction Note****)
This is a public apology for my
mis-understanding about why promote
the Massive July demostration now.
Well, After seeing my Brother..Rev
Ed yesterday he explained the main
point for putting the word out now,
and to me it makes senses.

What he said was July is eight months away, but 8 months is
plenty of time to get the word
out about the big event.

Now after agreeing I am joining
him in letting people know about
July. This way people will have time to plan for July. Such as
traveling expenses, transportation,
etc,etc,etc.

Hopefully, this will be as big as
Jena, due to the fact that it is
time for a change, and one thing
for sure...if its GOD will I will
be right there in front with my
Brother Rev Ed Pinkney.
