Meet Zaki Baruti (Lavoy Reed)~ Friend of NAACP and The New Black Panther Party and BFF with Hugo Chavez

WAKE UP AMERICA~Another champion of Socialism/Marxism in the news. You must realize that the destruction of our country is happening from within. You must be vigilant in educating your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.

Many Americans are oblivious to what is taking place in our country. The radical revolutionary movement disguises itself as a preacher, union member, elected official, teacher, judge, attorney, community organizer and THE ACLU. They are involved in the shaping of our laws, schools, government and attempted "transformation" of our country. They have had control of our children for decades and are indoctrinating them with the lies of anti-capitalism, anti-God, pro-abortion, global warming lies,re-defining marriage, and the re-writing of history to promote their agenda.

Now the left wing is using the "race card" to try to incite and divide us.  This is coming from the top down.  The White House, Congress, DOJ, MSM, and of course all of the left wing mouthpieces of this administration are all using the race card as a way to try to marginalize and silence the peaceful movement of millions of patriots across this country that want smaller government, fiscal responsibility and a government that believes in and follows the Constitution.

Meet ZAKI BARUTI, in this brief bio, I find his response to discrimination interesting:

"DISCRIMINATION: The only personal instance of discrimination that has occurred to me happened in 1965 when I applied for a job with Union Electric. There were three positions available and I was the only Black of five finalists for these positions. However, I wasn't chosen. Thus, the slots were filled by the White applicants. Of course, I felt a twinge of racism, but being young, I did not pursue the issue." 

So here is a man that admits he has not been held back because of his race yet uses racial slurs against another black man, Kenneth Gladney. Where is his outrage over Mr. Gladney's being beaten by another black man and a SEIU union member? It appears that, with this man, racism only goes one way.

7/13/10~Bill O’Reilly interviews Zaki Baruti, the man who called Kenneth Gladney an “Uncle Tom.” Gladney, a black Tea Partier, was beaten by SEIU thugs after attending a Tea Party event.

Baruti said he has “no regrets” for calling Gladney an “Uncle Tom,” and added that he believes, “Most people would agree with that terminology of Uncle Tom being applied to him.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since when is selling buttons of a President with the "joker" face on it or mimicking the President as a dope head when he's admitted to smoking dope grounds for a beating?  Did anyone try to force this idiot to buy the buttons? Does anyone remember the offensive signs and stories about GWB? What about freedom of speech? 

His comments are outrageous and Bill O'Reilly is a pinhead for not calling him out on that! The images Mr Gladney was peddling pale in comparison to the offensive images the left has peddled of other presidents.  Did you notice how he pointed out that the offensive (to him) goods were against the "first African-American president?"  What the hell does that have to do with anything?

And......What is O'Reilly doing giving this asshole a pass?  

The goods that Kenneth Gladney was selling can be purchased on any number of websites or stores....does he plan on sending the SEIU in to beat up any of those people selling these goods because they "offend" him?

In case you aren't familiar with the Kenneth Gladney case, he's some information to bring you up to speed:

From the website Gateway Pundit:

On May 5th, 2010 The Missouri NAACP hosted a press conference and rally on behalf of Perry Molens and Elston McCowan, demanding the county prosecutor drop assault charges stemming from an attack outside Russ Carnahan’s townhall in South St. Louis County on Health Care last August. Molens and McCowan were arrested after the staged Carnahan event in August after they beat, kicked and stomped on black vendor Kenneth Gladney. The two Russ Carnahan supporters and SEIU members also called Kenneth the n-word as they bashed him into the cement.

This press conference in May was intended to drum up political pressure to prevent the jury trial of the two SEIU staff members arrested for attacking Kenneth Gladney in the presence of three witnesses.

Video of the entire press conference was posted online in eight parts and includes speeches by Harold Crumpton (NAACP national board member and president, St Louis City branch), Mary Ratliff, (NAACP state president, Missouri), progressive blogger Adam Shriver (cited as their legal expert), Elston McCowan, Perry Molens, and emceed by Zaki Baruti, UAPO. Also attending the event were a host of self-defined socialist agitators and a self-proclaimed Huffington Post reporter, Jeanine Molloff.

Here is the unbelievable video of the racist NAACP event. The two men accused of attacking Gladney go on trial this month. Elston McCowan, the man standing next to the speaker, can be seen laughing when the speaker says Gladney is not a brother.

Following is the transcript:

Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, I mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissed on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people.

UNREAL.

Ironically, Gladney reached out to the NAACP after the assault, but was mocked by their local president for not filing a claim. 11 months later, the same organization is out in public claiming Gladney isn’t black enough to protect and calling him an “Uncle Tom” for getting his a$$ kicked by SEIU thugs after a Carnahan town hall. And remember- Perry Molens, the SEIU staff member caught on video coming up behind Gladney and throwing him to the ground, is white.
This is outrageous.

Has the NAACP has become a radical racist, leftist group of thugs that promotes public beatings? It looks like it.

Gateway Pundit

UPDATE 7/13/10 Yesterday, the NAACP passed a resolution condemning the “racism” of the tea party movement. They did not pass a resolution condemning the SEIU thugs who beat up Kenneth Gladney, an African-American vendor at a tea party rally. We guess racism is in the eye of Eric Holder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With all of the news lately about racism and hate, it is important to point out that it is true that racism does still exist today. The inconvenient truth is that there have not been any incidents of racism from the Tea Party as alleged by the MSM, Democratic Party, NBPP, NAACP, Unions, and any other left-wing group or organization that wants to use the "race card" to try to incite and divide this country. On the contrary, when it comes to organized racism, the New Black Panther Party and the NAACP have built their organizations on hating whites. Members of the NBPP are on video actually calling for the killing of whites and their babies.  They are the equivalent of the KKK and, just like the KKK,  have no place in our society.

Now meet ZAKI BARUTI in an interview in 2006 with "U.S. Hands Off Venezuela".  A Socialist/Marxist organization that praises Venezuela's President, Hugo Chavez.  An organization that calls Baruti and other members of the Universal African People's Organization "comrades."

HOV Interviews Zaki Baruti of the UAPO in St. Louis

Wednesday, 08 November 2006

Could you tell us your name, organization, etc.? My name is Zaki Baruti, I'm President-General of the Universal African People's Organization, whose base headquarters is St. Louis, Missouri.

 Zaki Baruti, President-General of the Universal African People's Organization

Why do you think the question of Venezuela is important for working people and African-American workers in particular here in the United States?

Well, the question of Venezuela is very important to working people and people of African descent on several levels. Number one, the workers across the United  States and throughout the world are constantly exploited by the owners of various factories and the appendages of capitalism, so what's taking place in Venezuela with the workers being empowered sets an example for the western hemisphere as well as throughout the world.

It's very important that we stand in complete solidarity with the workers of the world. In particular to the African community its very important that in Venezuela itself there is a sizable population of people of African descent to the degree of 30%. As we know, across the world people of African descent are normally the most oppressed, and with the revolution that's being led by our brother Hugo Chavez, the vestiges of oppression are being broken, so he will serve as a model for our people as far as one who is seeking and actualizing liberation. As well as the kinds of programs that empower people to have free health care is an example that must be played out across the world, especially in this country where we see over 45 million people who do not have access to proper health care.

So, we at the Universal African People's Organization, as I sit with my brothers next to me Sau'deh, Lionel, Hakim and other brothers and sisters we say - Long live the Venezuelan Revolution! Long live Hugo Chavez! Long live the workers in Brazil who have taken over the factories because factories are closed here because of economic policies, that need to be re-opened. We need to begin to emulate the model being set there.

Do you have any specific message then for the workers of Freteco in Venezuela, and to the Pan-American Gathering of Occupied Factories, of the Landless Peasants Movement in Venezuela and Brazil, and workers in struggle around the rest of Latin America?

Let me salute the brothers and sisters who are coming from across the world to convene around the question of factory takeovers. Keep up the good work!  Bring it back to organize in the poor areas of the United States and across the world, because we must for the salvation of this generation and future generations have a new world order that is based on peace, justice and equality for everyone, and an equitable distribution of wealth for everybody.

A Panamerican Gathering in Defence of Rights, Land Reform and Industries has been called in Joinville, SC, Brazil, for December 8-10. The meeting is being called mainly by the movement of occupied factories and is the continuation of the First Latin American Gathering of Occupied Factories which took place in Caracas in November 2005. This meeting marks a qualitative change in the movement of occupied factories throughout the American continent and takes a further step forward in the coordination and integration of the movement on an international scale. The organizations calling for this meeting are the Council of Occupied Factories of Brazil, the National Movement of Occupied Factories (MNER) of Argentina, the Venezuelan Revolutionary Front of Workers of Factories Occupied or under Workers' Co-management (FRETECO), the Brazilian Landless Peasants Movement (MST), the Human Rights Center (CDH) of Joinville-Brazil and the National Workers Command (PIT-CNT), which is the main trade union confederation in Uruguay. Alan Woods, editor of In Defence of Marxism, will also be present at the meeting. Below we reproduce the official leaflet advertising the meeting, also available in Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. Pan-American Gathering in Defense of Jobs, Rights, Agrarian Reform, and Manufacturing Industry The Coordinating Council of Occupied Factories, the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), and the Human Rights Centre Joinville (CDH) of Brazil along with the National Movement of Recovered Factories (MNER) of Argentina, the Revolutionary Front of Co-managed and Occupied Factories (FRETECO) of Venezuela and the PIT-CNT of Uruguay are pleased to invite the workers of recovered factories, agricultural and urban workers, parliamentarians, the social movements and the youth from across the Americas to fight in defense of the interests of the working class and the sovereignty of the people against imperialism. We invite all to attend the Pan-American Gathering in Defense of Jobs, Rights, Agrarian Reform, and Manufacturing Industry in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, on December 8-10, 2006. Because the capitalists, their governments, the multinationals and finance capital desire to submit us to super-exploitation, the workers of all countries, in defense of their dearest interests, have resisted the closure of factories, the loss of jobs, and attacks on our rights. There are hundreds of factories in Argentina that have been recovered by workers who are faced with a crisis created by the capitalists and their government. In Uruguay, a strong movement of factory recoveries and occupations has developed with the help of the PIT-CNT. In Bolivia it was the miners in defense of their jobs and who fought against the privatization and closure of the mines that put the Bolivian revolution and the nationalization of gas and petroleum on the order of the day. In Brazil the workers have occupied factories and launched a fight for the nationalization of industry in order to save thousands of jobs. In Venezuela the workers occupied factories in the fight against the economic sabotage of the ruling class. With the help of the UNT a movement was launched that took up the call of the Chavez government for nationalizations. In the United States the closing of hundreds of large factories and the loss of thousands of jobs has forced trade unionists to face the question of the occupation and nationalization of these companies. For these reasons we have organized various national and international meetings of workers in struggle. For these reasons we wish to explain and unite our struggles and unite the oppressed against humanity's common enemy - capital and its wars, pillage and ransacking of the wealth we produce. In Caracas in 2005 we affirmed: "They close, we open the factories. They rob the land and we occupy it. They make wars and destroy nations, we defend the peace and the sovereign integrity of the people. They divide and we unite. Because we are the working class. Because we are the present and the future of humanity". (Declaration at the 1st Latin American Meeting of Companies Recovered by the Workers, Caracas, 29/10/05). "Each factory that is closed is a cemetery of jobs as also are the estates in the country. For this the workers of the field and the city have the right to occupy the factories and the lands to defend their work and the sovereignty of our people. For this we occupy the companies and make them produce" (Declaration at the 1st Latin American Meeting of Companies Recovered by the Workers, Caracas, 29/10/05). We know that there are no human rights without work or under the tyranny of capital. Without agrarian reform there will be no work in the countryside, only an increase of misery in the cities and the fields. The workers cannot accept that the social movements and the defenders of human rights continue to be treated as criminals and continue to be the object of judicial measures undertaken on the basis of accusations reserved for the most infamous of criminals. Only our organization and our struggle can save jobs in a sustainable manner and achieve the demands of the people. Only the free and democratic discussion between workers, coordinated internationally, can guarantee that our struggle and our organization will be solid enough to defend the interests of the working class. The exchange of experiences in the Pan-American Gathering in Defense of Jobs, Rights, Agrarian Reform, and of Manufacturing Industry, will allow us to arrive at conclusions and plan common actions which will put our struggle on a higher level in each country. Only through the fight to defend each job and every gain will we find a way out of the present situation. To those that dare to tell us that there is no way out, that there is no way to confront the forces of capital, we respond with our determination to fight in unity in the defense of all that is socially progressive in what humanity has constructed. We invite all to organize their delegations and preparatory activities on a national level. We will meet at the Pan-American Gathering in Defense of Jobs, Rights, Agrarian Reform, and of Manufacturing Industry at the Cipla buildings in Brazil on December 8-10, 2006 in order to resist, explain and advance our common struggle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many Americans are oblivious to what is taking place in our country.

Now the left wing is working on the destruction of our elections as shown here and here. Please, please, please...WAKE UP AMERICA~if you don't, you will be complicit in the destruction of this great country. You must get involved..you must speak up....you must be silent no more! ~For too long we have gone along blindly and allowed our voices to be silenced~ ~WE WILL NOT BE SILENT ANY LONGER~ NOT RACIST NOT VIOLENT JUST NO LONGER SILENT

Communist Party Touts "labor has unprecedented access to President Obama and can be a significant voice in helping to move him"

Here's a copy of a recent article from a US Communist organizations website.  After the article is a video of Andy Stern that mimics the same militant philosophy of the Communist Party:

Capitalism’s Failures and the Struggle Forward
By Scott Marshall
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Editor’s note: The following are excerpted remarks of Scott Marshall, Vice Chair, Communist Party USA to the 11th International meeting of communist and workers’ parties held in New Delhi, India, Nov. 19th, 2009. The meeting was hosted by the Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India (Marxist).

In this terrible time of global economic crisis it is most timely that we seek ways to expand and broaden our slogan "workers and oppressed peoples of the world unite." While our slogan has been around for many generations, today it has more meaning than ever. Today global economic integration has reached new incredible levels. Today global finance capital roams the world pillaging and profiteering on a scale unimaginable in Marx's day.

First let me say a few words about how the crisis is affecting working people in the United States. Just this month the percentage of workers in our country who are long-term unemployed has reached levels not seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s. In the beginning stages of this crisis we were losing 700,000 jobs or more a month. Today, when some mainstream economists are declaring the recession over, when obscene banking profits are on the rise again, when the stock market is rising again, when finance capital is returning to its unregulated predatory ways with a vengeance, we are still losing around 200,000 jobs a month.

Among young people in the US the unemployed figures are staggering. In the age group of 16 to 24 only about 45 percent have jobs. And that number is much worse for African American, Latino and other racially and nationally oppressed youth. Racism in the US takes an even more terrible toll in this kind of an economic crisis. In the communities of the racially and nationally oppressed the crisis strikes with a particular violence and vengeance.

At the same time, experts who follow the housing markets, say that 2010 will see a whole new rash of home foreclosures with workers and their families being evicted and thrown into the streets. 40 million people are without health care and every month that number rises because in the US many people get their health care through their employer. In what is supposed to be the richest country in the world, because so much of the world's finance capital is centered there, hundreds of thousands of children go to school hungry every day. In many hard hit working class communities, the schools and medical clinics are crumbling and closing. The streets and bridges, the sewage and water systems, the basic infrastructures are neglected and decaying. And vital public services at all levels of government are being cut back and stopped.

The list of capitalism's failures in this crisis is very long. And of course we know that the crisis hits many in the developing world much harder than it hits the developed countries.
There are always two sides to the class struggle. Two major events are now turning the tide of working class struggle in a more militant and fighting direction in my country. The first is the rise of the movement that defeated the ultra-right Republican Party in the 2008 election and elected Barack Obama. That same movement also defeated many ultra-right members of the U.S. Congress. I know that internationally there are some mixed feelings about the role of president Barack Obama. Let me be clear, he is not a communist, he is not a socialist, and on some issues he is quite a moderate liberal. At the same time, after eight years of George Bush, the worst warmongering president and administration in US history, the election of Barack Obama opens a whole new terrain of struggle for the working class in the US and in the world. And after 30 years of vicious neoliberal attack on the US labor movement, on the working class and on the people's movements in the US, the election of Barack Obama opens the door for a whole new fight for economic justice, peace and equality.

Barack Obama, as I said, is no revolutionary – it’s true. But he doesn’t have to be a revolutionary to do some pretty important things to support labor and the working class. I won’t go into a whole domestic list but it is significant for those of us who work for a living in the US. He did inspire a movement and mobilize a broad coalition of democratic forces to defeat McCain and the ultra right. And, more importantly for our meeting here – he has taken some steps to curb some of the worst features of the international policies that he inherited from the previous administration. As on the domestic scene, in international affairs it will be the mobilization of the peoples forces and labor that will be decisive in shifting US policy even more – the left and the people’s forces had very little affect on the Bush administration – we can help move the Obama administration in a better direction.

The movement that elected Obama was, and continues to be, a broad coalition of social forces including even some sectors of capital. But at its heart is what we like to call the core social forces, the working class and its organized sector the labor movement, the racially and nationally oppressed, women, youth, and the gay rights movement.

The other major event that is helping to turn the tide was the September 2009 convention of the AFL-CIO, the largest labor federation in our country. I believe history will record that convention as a major turning point for our working class. This convention was the culmination of changes and developments that began in the mid-1990s. The AFL-CIO convention in 1995 was a major break with some of the worst features of class collaboration and the Cold War that began with the anti-Communist witchhunts of the early 1950s. In the mid ‘90’s the labor movement began to develop a more class struggle approach. After the '95 convention US labor began to develop its own independent political apparatus. It became more militant in the economic struggle. It increasingly began to see the global nature of capitalism. Further it even began to understand that the labor movement had to be more than just the defender of its own members, it had to become the voice and movement of the whole working class.

The 2009 Convention of the AFL-CIO, which I attended, deepened these trends and was remarkable in many ways. It elected a new leadership, more militant and more rooted in the fighting industrial union traditions of my country. Richard Trumka the new president comes out of the militant traditions of the mine workers union. On the day after his election at the convention he went straight to Wall Street and blasted the banking and insurance industries for causing the economic crisis both at home and abroad. He called for strong new regulatory steps to curb their reckless speculation and for breaking up those banks deemed “too big to fail.” The federation has vigorously pursued a “break up the big banks” policy and mobilized it’s member unions to fight for sharp new limits on finance capital. In another first for our labor movement the convention also elected two women, one African-American, to the other two top leadership positions of the AFL-CIO.
There are way too many examples of labor’s new policies for me to list now but I would like to mention one that I think is important to our international movement and illustrates a new direction and new possibilities for international labor solidarity. I have with me a letter, well publicized in the labor press in the US from Richard Trumka to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In it he says that the AFL-CIO believes that the coup government in Honduras to be totally illegitimate. The letter says the coup’s repression of the trade unions and democratic movements in Honduras make it impossible for there to be free and fair elections this November. And the letter strongly calls on the US State Department to stop all aid to Honduras until the coup is overturned and President Zelaya is returned to power. The letter also says that the position of the AFL-CIO was taken in consultation with the Honduran labor unions.

This is but one dramatic example of the new thinking in US labor on international questions. US labor also strongly opposes the wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. (And I should mention here that labor has unprecedented access to President Obama and can be a significant voice in helping to move him.) The convention also passed a resolution calling for an end to travel and monetary restrictions against Cuba and for better relations. These are examples of US labor breaking with the US State Department and US imperialism on international issues for the first time since the cold war began after World War II. We think this opens a whole new world of possibility for rebuilding and strengthening world labor and working class solidarity. And we think that Communist and Workers parties have a critical role to play in helping to take advantage of the new possibilities. It is really time for labor, on all sides of the old cold war political divide to reconsider and rethink labor unity.

Comrades, in our opinion the global economic crisis continues unabated. According to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund the world nation’s produce somewhere in the neighborhood of $65 trillion in goods and services each year. At the same time, according to the International Bank of Settlements, over $515 trillion is speculated in derivatives, credit default swaps and similar forms of exotic finance schemes. Think of it – such incredible imbalance. It’s staggering – think of the stolen surplus value represented in this deadest of all parasitic finance capital. Think of the problems of the world’s people that could be solved with that kind of money.

We think it is also important to look at the splits in capital in this period. In the US there is growing evidence of splits between manufacturing capital and banking capital. This is not just splits between big and small business and may open up serious lines of attack for regulating and reigning in some of the most predatory practices of speculative finance capital around the world.

We have much to discuss and think about. But I would like to end with a paraphrase of something Fredrick Engels once said, “an ounce of actions is worth a pound of theory,” something to that effect. We are most interested in how our parties can play a concrete role in helping to bring about real organized struggle along the lines of “workers of the world unite.” This needs to begin with what we can do to help unite and broaden the global labor movement. Marx and Engels did not say, “Workers of the World – unite to share information.” It was clear that they meant workers of the world unite for struggle. How can we make that a reality in today’s real world. What are our first concrete steps. We hope our meeting and deliberations can move us closer to making it happen.

Andy Stern, the head of SEIU (Service Employees International Union), one of the largest labor unions in the United States, was on the record in this video using the same "Worker's of the world Unite" mantra used by the Communist Party for decades. Andy Stern also has been the "TOP VISITOR" to the White House with 22 visits in just the first 6 months of this year. Is this who you want in charge of our healthcare? Is this who you want having the ear of the President of the United States? I see no difference between Andy Stern, SEIU, AFL-CIO, ACORN and all of the other associates of President Obama and the Communist Party. They are one in the same. They want to "Fundamentally Transform" The United States of America. Even though this article states that President Obama is not a Communist, it is apparent his agenda is fraught with a need to move this country to a Socialist, Marxist or Communist country. It is apparent he is against capitalism. It is apparent he is trying to "fundamentally transform" this great country into a socialist country.

Therefore, it is our duty to let him and all of the other Communists, Marxists and Socialists that have invaded Washington know that, we the people, will not stand by and see this wonderful country destroyed. We must show up at the voting booths in November 2010 and vote these thugs out of office. If they want to live in a socialist society, I suggest they go find a socialist country that better suits them and MOVE!!!! We will even buy them a ONE-WAY TICKET TO THEIR PARADISE!!!!
