A new "movement" wants to transform Jackson into an independent nation. Yes, you read that correctly. An unknown group wants to create a "Republic of Jackson" free from any control by the racist federal and state governments. Ads promoting Jackson independence began appearing on Facebook yesterday. Hmmm...... are these Neo-Confederates? Check out the screenshots of the website posted below.

How long would this "Republic" last without being propped up by people that actually work for a living and pay taxes?
"Free housing, reparations..."
I suspect that they want the non-afrodescendants to pay for all of that, right?
"Disband the police" That alone would reduce the Jackistan population significantly, right?
Putting that aside, this sounds like segregation, right?
He is risen! Chokwe's tomb is empty.
"A Jackson in which there is no poverty and every adult has a credit of $100,000 in their city treasury reparations account"
I'll pass...the city will plunder that quicker than the $90mil(minus $30mil the lawyers made) from the Siemens settlement.
I see they have done their homework on how this will be funded ?? 😂
This sounds like the ramblings of a lunatic, or at best a child with zero concept of how the world works. If everything is free, then what's the need for a bank account with $100,000 of foreign money? Because I assume they'll mint their own currency (Jack Bucks?)
Same old, tire sovereign citizen bull$h!+.
In Chokwe We Trust.
These people sound like a 4 year old running away from home. Holy shit, how moronic.
If this could happen Mississippi would be Bankrupt in a month. say what you want but they pull the weight.
This started in Detroit. Google the 888 number. They want money.
Regardless, it's a fantastic idea. They would need passports and visas to leave Jackistan. That alone would keep them out of Madison County. Win!
Sovereign ? They can't even provide themselves food and shelter now .
How many times did they use the word " free"
Everything is free !
Chowke - President for Life
Rukia - VP for Life

@8:30
Do you mean the residents of Jackson pull the weight for the state in taxes, meaning they pay the most and fund other projects around the state? Are you kidding me?
Who will design the robes? Who will make the sandals?
Will Emerich, Goode and 'that woman' be granted honorary membership but not given a 'voting marble'?
Will Kim Wade, Stokes and Leftenant Graham suffer the fate of the guillotine or simply be banished from the kingdom?

Yes, ridiculous...just like Marjorie's Red and Blue un United States and Texas Separatism.
Yes, 50% of our population has below average intelligence and 15% are mentally ill and another 10-15% are mentally ill.
It doesn't take a genius to find the nut cases and idiots and then there's the criminals. But, why so many want to elect them or give them any credence or attention should be far more troublesome for those with an IQ above 100 and who function within normal limits.
Clickbait post. Nothing to see. Move on.
I guarantee they didn't pay any licensing costs for that stock photo of the call center. No way they are paying employees to answer calls when there are no calls.
Kush me-
I think Movie Star Gregory Wash the Rock & Roll Governor Candidate has gone big time, and these are his people...

Treason.
I guess it is just a coincidence that the University Medical center and Baptist health are building like crazy in the city of Madison.
Free the Land!
The hell of it is -- a significant percentage of Jackson residents- Shockway disciples- want this.
Done and done! Already signed up and got my $100k!
9:36 is right on. As soon as the CON laws are changed, every hospital, save UMMC, is gone....GONE.
Contact harvesting for the Lumumbas. Victimization politicians always need to know how to contact their victims.
@8:32
I couldn't agree more.
I like the idea. Without Jackson dragging the state down maybe we can accomplish some good things.

Does anyone remember Republic of New Afrika?
Al and Jesse grifting v2.0
A "new movement." I had a similar experience when I woke up this morning.
@10:40AM, look at the Google Streetview for that address. It's a bombed out house!
Can someone post a photo of Ramzu Yunus so I'll recognize him at the corner of Lakeland and 55.

Are Donna Ladd and Wyatt Emmerich behind this?
I'm in. I just signed up to be a Human Rights Officer. I was promised a stipend and a company car. That catch is that I have to 'jack the car of my choice and rob a local business for the stipend, but it's workable.
They get laughed out of Detroit so they come to Jackson where they can give themselves titles and propose their crazy radical ideas to gullible people. These wingnuts can't even sell this stuff anywhere else but they think Jackson is so desperate the citizens are ready to try anything. What they don't understand is that people who actually live in Jackson are sick and tired of being guinea pigs for radical ideas that don't work.
This is ridiculous. It has Sista Rukia written all over it
NOT saying this is the same person, but a Google search turned up an article that matched the name in Michigan as the Whois data from that domain. If it WERE the same person, in my opinion, it sounds like a grift.

This new Republik will follow some of the narrative of the Novel "The Mouse that Roared" (cute movie as well). The exception being they will lose the war they declare against the USA so the USA will take over reconstruction and handing out large sums of money.
Most of these so-called "independence movements" had faded into obscurity but the media fascination with reparations and FREE everything has given them new life. In the 70's and 80's the key word was "self-determination" now the key word is "FREE".
11:17 Exactly! I was thinking this morning, "wait, hasn't this been proposed here before?" Unfortunately, since the time of the RNA, the people who thwarted that effort have thrown up their hands and left the building. Those who are left here in the city are just stupid / crazy / lawless enough to give it another try!
All kidding aside, in the insane days in which we live - especially with the left fomenting division and encouraging the sides to be at each other's throats - this movement could actually gain some traction! Don't underestimated the percentage of the population that is encouraged daily to feel aggrieved! Furthermore, don't forget there will likely be few governmental or other organizations who will attempt to restrain them if they move forward.
I hope I'm reading more into this than what's occurring, but this could actually get bad.
What is it that so many "adults" these days don't understand about the concept of "free?" In your life, what has been given to you for "free" that's every had any real value? I mean that in a general sense, but most everything I've received for free was of no real worth.
- Free housing? Because the residents will have "no skin in the game," that housing will be trashed so quickly, it'll make your head spin! (Of course, there are ample examples of that already) The empty property and green spaces provided to those who need housing? I thought the housing was already provided.....free. Uh oh, I see some people who are going to be angry already. Who will THOSE people call racist?
- Free water and electricity? I can't wait to see the environmentalists' heads explode over the waste that will be forthcoming!
- $100k in everyone's "city treasury's reparations" account?
- No "spending" money, just "rotating" it? Hmmmm. So who is going to be fly among this group? What good is ANY "money" if you can't be/look better than the next guy? When everyone is "rich," no one is "rich," right?
- Funding for all of this? I presume "the government" will be cutting these checks?
I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but it looks like there might need to be more thinking and 'cipherin on just the items in the first paragraph. The rest was tl;dr (plus, I'm assuming it wouldn't make any more sense than the first paragraph. Problem is, most of the advocates for this "system" will likely not make it past the first paragraph.............
What happened to the days of sanity?
This grift is worthy of P.T. Barnum.
Yunus is being funded by Madison and Rankin Country real estate agents.
Just when you think you’ve underestimated the stupidity out there, dig a deep hole and throw the bar in it.
12:46 this will get as much traction as a 1986 Ford Ranger at the river off Silas Brown.
This is the Republic of New Afrika, which has been the vision of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement since it was co-founded by Lumumba Sr. is the 1960s.
This has been the goal of Lumumba Jr. and his brain trust since the beginning. They haven't really made it a secret. No one should claim to be surprised.
This is what Lumumba meant when he said "promises made, promised kept." They actually meant it when they said they would work to make Jackson an independent, sovereign, Black-Nationalist republic. We should believe them.
I hope it happens, because it’ll fail and we all know it, we can all just sit around and watch the dumpster fire.
Maybe Jerry Mitchell and Sid Salter will help them get this done.
Tack on another 5% to my property value in Madison.
Unfortunately, if you polled the U S A, most would be willing to get rid of the poorest, most uneducated, murder capitol of the country which is Jackson. I once lived in the decaying, backwoods town of Jackson.
@2:38
the problem with that is you can't "get rid of it"
a lot of people own property here as individuals and you cannot just take their things and give them to other people, it doesn't work that way
and I am sure these owners couldn't give less of a rip about what poll results indicate.
The Republic of New Afrika, one notable official
Chokwe Lumumba, formerly Edwin Finley Taliaferro of Detroit, was elected as second vice president in 1971. He later became an attorney, working in Michigan and Mississippi in public defense. After settling in Jackson, Mississippi, he was elected to the city council there. He was elected as mayor in 2013, dying in office in February 2014 of natural causes.
Well the upholstery business burning without water is only the beginning of what’s to come! This has t impact insurance rates when claims are filed for COJ/Mayor incompetence to run utilities because he repeated today He is in charge not Ted. Right! What if there had been lives lost; not just a puppy in addition to total loss of business!
Bennie Thompson tried this before so these are small timers. https://noqreport.com/2021/11/15/revealed-jan-6-commission-chairman-bennie-thompson-backed-extremist-secessionist-group-seeking-violent-u-s-takeover/
"...dying in office in February 2014 of natural causes."
March 20, 2023 at 3:39 PM
Au contraire! I clearly remember that esteemed Councilman Kenneth Stokes took great exception to that "natural causes" business - going so far as to assert that he felt that PapaChok was MURDERED.
In fact, there's still a YouTube video up, from 16WAPT, called 'Stokes questioning mayor's death'. It's a must-see, in my opinion: Kenny at his finest.
From the website:
"A Jackson in which there is no poverty and every adult has a credit of $100,000 in their city treasury reparations account. Envision a Jackson where all housing is free while the empty properties and spaces are given away free to those who need housing. Imagine a Jackson whereas your electricity and water is not shut off but allocated to you for free."
That sounds great, but you gotta start somewhere. How about teaching the kids in the public school system how to read?
As a retired insurance executive, I do think it will eventually catch up to Jackson premiums. But they are afforded so many passes, just as they are with the EPA, that other municipalities would never be given.
Gotta' look the other way to stay woke-friendly and avoid the baseless claims of racism.
And when the corporations do (correctly) increase insurance rates, the residents will demand government subsidies due to racism and they will be granted.
This didn't come from the Jackson area.
I ran a whois query on the website and it's registered to a guy named Ramzu Yunus in Atlanta, GA. The guy has a history of some weird stuff, including getting a cease and desist from the state of Georgia for creating an illegal bank.
https://valdostatoday.com/business-2/2020/04/cease-and-desist-issued-against-reparations-bank-and-ramzu-yunus/
The photos on the site (if you run a reverse search) are from a similar site he created for the city of Detroit. So fortunately in this case, the call is coming from outside the house.
We already seen how this plays out prior to the feds taking over.
A whole republic huh? Jackson can’t even keep its own water running. Much less declare its independence. I’ll bet it lasts 2 or 3 days at most.
