A Look into Lumumba Land

One bit of crony capitalism escaped notice during the Jackson Trash Wars. The proposed Richard's Disposal contract awarded 7% to a lil ole subcontractor, Expert Professional Solutions, for information technology services.  Yes, IT services for garbage collection.   The company is owned by one Akil Bakari, a long-time Lumumba crony.   

The proposed garbage contract states:

 

The contract amount for twice per week garbage service was $9 million per year ($756,000 per month).  Thus Expert Professional Solutions would receive $610,000 per year for "information technology" services.  If the contract was extended for ten years, Bakari stands to make $6 million.  Good grub if you can get it.  Nancy would be proud.

Mr. Bakari also managed Mayor Lumumba's transition team in 2017.  However, Mr. Bakari is not merely a Lumumba crony but is a brother in the secessionist Malcolm X Grassroots Movement.  A 2018 interview in the socialist Prabuddha Journal opens a window into Lumumba Land.  


 

The MXGM leader spells out the philosophy of his cause:

The whole idea is around self determination, we feel as an oppressed group of people in this country, that we have the right to self-determination, and have every right to decide how we should be governed and who should govern us.

The founding members of NAPO are the late Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, Watani Tyehimba, Ahati Tyehimba, Chinganji Akinyele, Aminata Umoja, Akinyele Umoja, Makungu. The founding members of MXGM are all of the above members and Akmed Obafemi and Safiya Omari

He does not mean self-determination as we practice it but rather using it as an excuse to form an independent country carved out of the Union.  Where have we seen this idea before?  

Make no mistake, what the so-called independence movement covets is a path to power.

The whole idea around the endeavor into electoral politics actually comes out of the framework which was originated in contemporary times by the Republic of New Africa (RNA). And their idea was again organizing in the Black belt South, their particular focus area was the western portion of Mississippi, coming down out of the delta from Tennessee, Arkansas, all the way down to the western portion which is the MS delta going all the way to Claiborne County.

Again, all of those counties are contiguous through Tennessee, Arkansas, MS, and the majority of those counties’ populations are Black folks. The RNA and their theoreticians understood and studied that this is where Black people were and that if organized correctly, it can make a huge impact towards moving towards self-determination. The idea in their organization was to take to elected offices in those areas. The circuit clerk, county clerk rather, and the Sheriff's dept. Then and now, if you control the county clerk and the Sheriff dept. of any county in MS, you control the county.

The county clerk's office is where all of the land is recorded, and of course, the Sheriff's office is the law enforcement. Again, historically and even to this day, if you control those two offices, you control the county.

Bakari and his cohorts entertained several options.

Black folk want to create an independent nation of self-governing Black people within the American empire, or Black people want to integrate into the existing structure and try to reform America within the existing structure, or Black people want to repatriate back to Africa or other areas of the globe where black people were in the majority. ..

Next up is the Jackson Kush Plan and how these groups selected Chokwe the Elder to run for City Council in 2009. Why Jackson, one asks?

Coming out of those ideological conferences, studying Jackson, roughly with a population of 200,000 people, 85% of which were Black people; studying budgets of city budgets anywhere from 450-500 million dollars in any given year, a school district that is 97% Black with a budget of roughly 255 million dollars, sitting in a county that is 76% Black whose budget is roughly 120 million dollars. If you add that money up, it is right up to billion dollars. All of that is funded by majority Black people who get less than 5% of its benefit.

Pie in the sky, stuff, right? However, the computer whiz spills the beans on the financial path for his putsch fantasies.

This model called the Jackson Kush plan is how we are trying to implement. Again, this is not romantic, it is not glamorous, it will not happen overnight, you cannot build any co-operative of the backs of philanthropic or foundational grants. You may be able to start there, but you have to build an independent economic model that is based on sound business principles in order for it to function.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what that economic model is: good ole fashioned government contracts to the favored few such as $600,000 a year for ten years for IT services on a garbage contract.

Bakari discusses how the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement uses children's camps to indoctrinate the young. The interviewer asks him to talk about the "children's component of MXGM." Mr. Bakari replies:

There is the New African People’s Organization. One of the institutions it built is called the New African Scouts and New African Panthers. There are some similarities around some of the training with the boy scouts in that you train in urban and rural survival skills, camping, sustainability in the rural, but we take it a step further. There are physical fitness and self-defense, and there is cultural and revolutionary education component. That’s essential to giving our young people the idea of what they are supposed to be doing as they matriculate and grow into adulthood. ....

Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba came through the scouts, a young Rukia Lumumba came through the scouts, there are others in Atlanta, in the Bay Area and in D.C....

The Surdna Foundation awarded a $1.2 million grant in 2020 to the Jackson Arts Council and Community Aid & Development Corporation.  The corporation operates the New African children's camps mentioned in the interview.  The CEO of the organization is  Watani Tyehimba, one of the founding members of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement.

 Hmmm..... this interview might explain why the Mayor always leaves the room during the Pledge of Allegiance.  Would reciting the pledge break an oath?

Excellent work tying all these people together and laying out what's really going on in Jackson. KF called it what it is: "secessionist."

7% of the contract to Lumumba's people looks a whole lot like a tax. It's like a sales tax for government service contracts, with the proceeds funding the Black Nationalist movement.

What’s novel about this? Every government contract has money set aside for donors and friends.

WLBT, WAPT, WJTV better report on this. Surely they all read this site.

Hopefully the Mayor and former Governor are being investigated by the authorities and at a quicker pace than what the Biden family is.

Rumor is a city council member is also up to some sketch behavior. Rumor is he or she has a taxpayer funded job where he or she does next to nothing.

Can someone talk Melvin into running for Mayor?

KF rocks, deserves Anna Wolfe's Pulitzer if he assists Mayor L'Umbrella to destroy himself, or at least dive deeper into political hospice. And New Afrikan Black Apartheid? OK in Liberia, but NIMBY, not in USA.

BTW, which legal entity with subpoena power provides oversight on the mayor?

The Post Office Box used by Expert Professional Solutions (sub-contractor for RDI) on the Secretary of State's website is the same mailbox used by the Jackson Chapter of Free the Land movement. If you were wondering, it is PO Box 16051 in Jackson. Check the secretary of state site for the business (Expert Professional Solutions) and look at Willie Webster's PO Box. Then go to https://freethelandmxgm.org/jackson-chapter/ and look at their PO Box. Just silly at this point.

$600,000 a year for IT services ? For a garbage company ? For only serving the Jackson area ? Good Lord, what a rip off....or scam.

The Mayor says he's trying to get the cheapest price for Jackson residents, right ? Well, apparently he's not if the contractor is charging $600,000 a year for IT services.

I wonder how much Richards spends on IT services each year for its New Orleans operations ? Or how much Waste Management charged for its IT services for the Jackson area pickup. I'd be willing to be neither of them charges or spent $600,000 a year. Does Richards really need $600,000 a year for IT services for just Jackson alone ?

This is why the mayor is so adamant for Richards. They’ll let him siphon money from the contract whereas Waste Management wouldn’t touch it and probably turn him over. Tell me I’m wrong…

Maybe that explains why the mayor tried so hard to steer the contract. I would assume that Waste Management has its own IT department.

Garbage contractors do indeed need IT resources. You need a laptop that may cost $1,500. You need internet service at $100 per month for ten years, so that's another $12,000. You need $40,000 per year for somebody to monitor the routes on the laptop, so that's another $400,000 over ten years. And you need $5,586,500 to pay that guy's boss.

If we were a serious country these Communists ripping taxpayers off would never see the light of day again except from behind a metal bar window. Instead, he/they gets to make himself/themselves rich off of an already poor tax base. How much of that 600k does the Communist Mayor get?

Anonymous said...

The insulting part of all this is not that Chokwe and his cadre still entertain the Black separatist pipe dream of dividing counties and states from the U.S. to form a socialist state, but that they won't tell the whole truth to those gullible Black residents whose futures they will sacrifice. They are so arrogant they know what is best for the masses but keep it on the down low, lest the suckers find out about their plans and get the hell out before the
S...t hits the fan. But then again, it looks like the exodus has already begun. Has it already hit the fan?

Once what's left of the middle class leaves Jackson, the poverty stricken residents who can't afford to leave will be raped unmercifully by this Communist mayor and his minions:

High taxes
High fees
High crime
Dangerous streets
Uneducated youth
No water
No sewer
No law enforcement
Dilapidated infrastructure
None of the public services they are paying so dearly for.

It's shocking to think how much worse it can and will get. This mayor should be in prison for what he's done to this city.

It’s insane how our bottom of the barrel, local “news” channels won’t report on any of this.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
