1.  I want to know this:

2.  Do all the people who expressed such concern over Kathleen Ford's quotation from Princeton African-American college professor Cornel West's book, "Race Matters," have equal or similar concern about imprisoned, black, death row inmate, and innocent man, Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther Party supporter and long-time black journalist known in Philadelphia as the "voice of the voiceless," and a guy who can be properly described as an American political prisoner?  Here's the link to the pamphlet published by the Partisan Defense Committee entitled, "Anatomy of a Frame-up:  Mumia Abu-Jamal is Innocent!":

Since the TypePad program does not seem to be properly working, as is indicated by its inability to highlight links to supplied sites and to supplied materials, readers will have to manually "copy" and "paste" said supplied link into the address bar of your computer, then hit "enter" to bring you to the actual pamphlet linked to here.

3.  Mumia Abu-Jamal is innocent of the crime of which he was accused, and for which he's rotted on death row in a Pennsylvania prison since 1982.  A sworn confession from another man, named Arnold Beverly, to having committed the crime of murder of a cop for which Mumia Abu-Jamal's been wrongly imprisoned and wrongly accused and on the basis of which Mumia has rotted in jail since 1982, exists.  Here is the link to the sworn confession of Arnold Beverly to having committed the crime of murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner the night of December 9, 1981, the crime for which the cops, prosecutors, judges, and bipartisan Democratic-Republican politicians, have kept Mumia Abu-Jamal locked up since 1982 on death row:

This sworn confession by Beverly indicates Beverly shot the police officer, and that Mumia had nothing to do with it.  Again, since the TypePad program does not highlight the link, you must manually "copy" and "paste" the link into your address bar and hit "enter" to bring you to the sworn statement of Beverly.  Do those so concerned about the quotation of Cornel West's HNIC remark in Cornel West's book by Kathleen Ford have equal or similar concern about the fact Arnold Beverly's sworn confession to having committed the crime of murder of a cop exists, but that no Democratic politician, no Republican politician, no cop, no court, no prosecutor, has seen fit to allow this sworn confession of Beverly's to be put into the legal record?  Or does the fact that Mumia Abu-Jamal's brand of leftist radical politics, his having been a Black Panther Party member as a youth, and his political advocacy on behalf of the MOVE commune in Philadelphia, as well as his giving voice to the inarticulate and voiceless of Philadelphia, stand in the way of people more concerned about the HNIC comment than about the fact this innocent black man has rotted on death row since 1982 for a crime of which he's innocent?  Does his being a left radical black political prisoner and the fact of his black radical viewpoint stand in the way of his being released from prison -- despite the fact another man confessed to committing the crime for which Mumia was allegedly put onto death row?  Again, here once a second time is the link to the Beverly confession, for those concerned about such "little" things as, FACTS:

http://www.partisandefense.org/pubs/innocent/ab.html

4.  Mumia Abu-Jamal's original "trial" was a kangaroo court "trial" with a violently racist judge named Sabo.  Sabo was overheard saying, "We're gonna fry the n----r."  Here's a link to a sworn statement from a court reporter, Terri Maurer-Carter, stating her recollection of having heard Judge Sabo make that statement at the time:

http://www.partisandefense.org/pubs/innocent/tmc.html

Again, since the TypePad program doesn't seem to be allowing highlighting of posted links, you will have to manually "copy" and "paste" the posted link into the address bar in your computer system, hit "enter," and go to the link.  Go to the link and read Terri Maurer-Carter's statement of what she overheard Judge Sabo saying before the kangaroo court "trial" of Mumia Abu-Jamal.  Do those concerned about the HNIC comment concern themselves about this man, Mumia Abu-Jamal?  What have they to say about this man, an innocent man who has been rotting on death row since 1982, even while the sworn confession by another man to having committed the murder of police officer Faulkner exists, and even when this statement of Terri Maurer-Carter to her having heard the original judge in the case indicate his violent racist prejudice and inclination to sentence Jamal even before the trial exists?

5.  At the time of the murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner, December 9, 1981, the FBI was in the process of conducting an undercover investigation of corruption in the Philadelphia Police Department.  In his sworn confession to having committed the murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner, Arnold Beverly states he had thought he'd been hired by the mob and corrupt cops to get police officer Faulkner out of the way, since the corrupt cops suspected Faulkner of being an undercover informant for the FBI in their ongoing investigation of police corruption.  Here is a link to a sworn statement from Donald Hersing, who was himself an actual undercover informant for the FBI in the time period in which police officer Daniel Faulkner was murdered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:

http://www.partisandefense.org/pubs/innocent/dh.html

Again, since the TypePad program does not seem to be working properly enough to properly and correctly highlight posted links, you will have to manually "copy" and then "paste" the link above into your address bar of your computer and then hit "enter" to take you to the statement of Donald Hersing linked to.  Read it.  Hersing makes clear the investigation was going on and that some cops suspected someone in the police department of being an undercover informant working for the feds in the ongoing corruption investigation of corruption in the Philadelphia PD.

6.  The cops had prostitute Cynthia White testify she saw Mumia shoot Faulkner.  Here is a link to a sworn statement from Yvette Williams to having heard Cynthia White in prison make the statement White did not see who shot Faulkner, and the only reason White said she saw Mumia Abu-Jamal shoot Faulkner was, intimidation and threats from the cops against her:

http://www.partisandefense.org/pubs/innocent/yw.html

Again, since the TypePad program does not seem to be correctly working, as is indicated by its failure to properly highlight posted links to other sites, you will have to manually "copy" and "paste" the supplied link into the address bar of your computer and then hit "enter" to access the sworn statement linked to.

7.  The cops claimed that after they arrested Mumia Abu-Jamal, he was overheard by a security guard in the hospital screaming, "I shot the m----r-----r and I hope he dies."  Here is a link to a sworn statement from Kenneth Pate regarding what he overheard from Patricia Durham, whom the cops cited as the alleged source of the statement of her having heard Mumia make the statement, "I shot the m----r-----r and I hope he dies."  It's clear that Mumia never made that statement, but, instead, simply kept repeating to the cops, "Get off me, get off me."  The claimed statement, "I shot the m----r-----r and I hope he dies" was invented by the cops:

http://www.partisandefense.org/pubs/innocent/kp.html

Again, since the TypePad program does not seem to be properly working, because it does not properly highlight material of posted links, you will have to manually "copy" and then "paste" the supplied link into the address bar of your computer, then hit "enter," in order to bring you to the sworn statement of Kenneth Pate linked to here.  The cops and a lot of the news media cited the claimed statement of Mumia Abu-Jamal of "I shot the m----r-----r and I hope he dies" as "evidence" for their view Mumia actually did the crime.  This sworn statement of Pate's shreds that claim and destroys it.

8.  Why was the scene of the crime of the shooting of police officer Daniel Faulkner without anybody around the morning of December 9, 1981?  Here is a link to a sworn statement of experienced crime reporter and police beat reporter Linn Washington to what she found the morning of December 9, 1981 on showing up to the scene of the crime, an area entirely without anybody around or evidence of anybody having been around earlier that morning at the time of the crime.  Washington says that's highly unusual in her experience of reporting on crime, particularly the crime of shooting a police officer.  Here is the link:

Again, since the TypePad program does not seem to be working properly, since it does not properly seem to be highlighting supplied links, readers will have to manually "copy" and "paste" the above-supplied link into the address bar in your computer, then hit "enter" to take you to the text of the sworn statement of Linn Washington linked to.

9.  Why did attorney Rachel Wolkenstein encounter difficulty among her fellow attorneys in getting before the courts the record of the sworn confession by Beverly to having committed the crime of murder of police officer Faulkner?  Here is the sworn deposition of Rachel Wolkenstein before the courts of Pennsylvania on the misconduct of the attorneys with whom she had previously been working in their unwillingness to do what any good attorney is supposed to do -- provide a zealous defense of a client by insuring all evidence which shows their client is innocent is brought forward.  Her co-counsels in the original defense team did not do that.  Here's the link of her experiences:

Again, since the TypePad program does not seem to be properly working, since supplied links do not seem to be highlighted, readers will have to manually "copy" and "paste" the supplied link into the address bar of your computer, then hit "enter" to take you to the sworn statement of attorney Rachel Wolkenstein linked to.

10.  Why has the government been so eager to kill or keep locked up the rest of his life Mumia Abu-Jamal?  Here is the link to the presentation of attorney Rachel Wolkenstein introducing the pamphlet:

http://www.partisandefense.org/pubs/innocent/rwpres.html

Again, since the TypePad program does not seem to be properly working, for it does not seem to be correctly highlighting supplied links, readers will have to manually "copy" and then "paste" the supplied link into the address bar of your computer, then hit "enter" to take you to the supplied presentation of Rachel Wolkenstein introducing this pamphlet on Mumia Abu-Jamal's innocence and why the corrupt authorities and corrupt capitalist media have all conspired to keep him at least locked up and, in the minds of the corrupt capitalist authorities and corrupt capitalist media, hopefully, killed.

The St. Petersburg Times has never in my memory of living here in Pinellas County for the past 20 years -- even though I supplied them with the information in this pamphlet by mail years ago -- seen fit to mention it in anything they've written on the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal.  But they seem very concerned about the comment of a black Princeton University professor and passionate liberal, Cornel West, the HNIC comment.  What is the position of Bill Maxwell, Linn Young of The St. Petersburg Times, Tim Nickens of The St. Petersburg Times, Eric Deggans of The St. Petersburg Times, Robyn Blumner of The St. Petersburg Times, Ernest Hooper of The St. Petersburg Times, on the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal?  What?  What?

And what are the positions of Deveron Gibbons, of Seville Brown of the local chapter of the National (or Southern?) Christian Leadership Conference on Mumia Abu-Jamal?  What are the positions of both Bill Foster and Kathleen Ford on Mumia Abu-Jamal?  And since Mr. Karl Nurse is trying to get re-elected in a majority black district to the City Council in St. Pete, what is his position on Mumia Abu-Jamal?  Mr. Nurse and Mr. Nickens had no problem taking away freedom of speech and associational rights for protesters, panhandlers, homeless people, by giving away public sidewalk land to the corporate capitalist authorities of Bay Walk.  What is their position on the fact a sworn confession by Arnold Beverly to having committed the crime of murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner exists, but that despite this existing sworn confession, Mumia Abu-Jamal continues rotting in a death row prison cell?

The ACLU of Pinellas County also likes to give awards to St. Petersburg Times owners and managers, as is illustrated by their having given awards to Phil Gailey and Andrew Barnes in the past.  What is their position on the existence of the sworn confession of Arnold Beverly to having committed the crime of murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner, and what is their position on the case of imprisoned death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal?

And if Mumia has not been kept locked up for his leftist radical politics and his skin color, intersecting his leftist radical politics, then, pray tell, what in the hell IS the reason he's been kept locked up since 1982, particularly in light of the existence of a sworn confession from another man, Arnold Beverly, to having committed the crime of murder of a police officer on the basis of which all the authorities have supposedly KEPT Mumia Abu-Jamal locked up all these years?

Are all those yapping over the Ford quotation of the Cornel West HNIC remark concerned about the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, and if they are not, why are they not?

These are some questions I WOULD LIKE ANSWERED MYSELF.

The other satirical post I posted on Karl Nurse's October 15, 2009 lie before the St. Petersburg City Council I can't find, either, and think they took it off.  I did not, unfortunately, make a copy of it.

It was an "award" conferred on Nurse by the "George Costanza Memorial Mendacity Promotion Association of St. Petersburg" for the statement and accompanying video Nurse made and showed in front of the City Council and their cable television camera on October 15, 2009.

Times Staff kicked me off and don't allow me to submit comments there anymore.  I previously submitted name and password.  I got on.

But after controversial comments I'd posted, my name and password no longer enable me to "Join the Conversation."

They don't allow me on there.

They're liars and censors.
