Pigford vs. Glickman

Andrew Breitbart is a media genius!!!

Now this one is worth sending to all of you good folks! Make sure you get your Kids AND Grandkids and NEIGHBORS all "REGISTERED TO VOTE".

Please read this entire document it is - shocking and that’s no BS !!!!!!!!

Pigford vs. Glickman

This is in response to the WSJ article published July 28, 2010: "Our Divisive President", by Cadell & Schoen , two....Democrats, on Obama dividing America on race.

Andrew Breitbart is a media genius!!!

He proved it originally with his brilliant handling of the ACORN “hooker” scandal which he skillfully manipulated so that the corrupt media was forced, against its will, to broadcast corruption in one of Obama’s most powerful political support groups. But Breitbart’s handing of that affair is nothing compared to his brilliant manipulation of the Shirley Sherrod “white farmer” scandal.

It all began last Monday, July 22, 2010. As the country watched in horror, Breitbart released a snippet of a tape on his “Big Government”? site which showed an obscure black female official of the Dept. of Agriculture laughing to a roomful of NAACP members about how she discriminated against a destitute white farmer and refused to give him the financial aid he desperately needed.

As she smirked to the room, she sent him instead to a white lawyer ˜one of his own kind” for help. The black woman was Shirley Sherrod and almost immediately she became the center of a firestorm of controversy which exploded throughout the country.

Within a day of the release of that infamous tape, the head of the Dept. of Agriculture, spurred on by Obama, demanded and received Sherrod’s resignation. Breitbart had won.

But then seemingly Breitbart’s actions began to explode in his face. As Sherrod screamed in protest, FOX News released the entire text of her speech last March to the NAACP. And there on tape Sherrod was shown supposedly repenting of her racism against a white farmer and instead championing his fight to win funds to keep his farm afloat. Within hours of that entire tape being revealed, the entire world turned against Andrew Breitbart.

Conservatives throughout the country were enraged that he’d endangered their reputations by releasing a “doctored” tape. Breitbart, they thundered, had dealt a fatal blow to the conservative media.

I confess that I also was horrified at what I saw as the clumsiness and stupidity of Breitbart in a “doctored” tape to make a supposedly innocent woman look guilty. But now I discover I have been as guilty of haste to judgment of Breitbart as the Dept. of Agriculture was of Ms. Sherrod.

Only now am I realizing the real purpose for Breitbart’s release of that tape snippet. It was to allow him to cunningly trick the media into exposing one of the most shocking examples of corruption in the federal government a little known legal case called “Pigford v. Glickman”?.

Check it yourself at: http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/07/ ... -claims-fr om-39697-total-farmers/?singlepage=true

In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997.

The case was entitled “Pigford v. Glickman” and in 1999, the black farmers won their case. The government agreed to pay each of them as much as $50,000 to settle their claims.

But then on February 23, 2010, something shocking happened in relation to that original judgment:

In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to “Pigford”. The amount was a staggering ...... $1.25 billion. This was because the original number of plaintiffs 400 black farmers had now....... swollen in a class action suit to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America.

There was only one teensy problem: The United States of America doesn’t have 86,000 black farmers!

According to accurate and totally verifiable Official USDA 2007 Census data, the total number of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697. Hmmm... by the Official USDA 1992 Census data the US had only 18,816 black farmers !!

Oops!

Well, gosh how on earth did 39,697 explode into the fraudulent 866,000 claims? And how did $50,000 explode into $1.25 billion? Well, folks, you’ll just have to ask the woman who not only spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the “Rural Development Leadership Network” but whose family received the highest single payout (approximately $13 million) from that action Shirley Sherrod.

Oops again!

Yes, folks. It appears that Ms. Sherrod had just unwittingly exposed herself as the perpetrator of one of the biggest fraud claims in the United States a fraud enabled solely because she screamed racism at the government and cowed them into submission. And it gets even more interesting.

Ms. Sherrod has also exposed the person who aided and abetted her in this race fraud. As it turns out, the original judgment of “Pigford v. Glickman” in 1999 only applied to a total of about 16,000 black farmers.

But.... in 2008, a junior US Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allow more black farmers to sue for funds. The Senator was Barack Hussein Obama.

Because this law was passed in dead silence and because the woman responsible for spearheading it was an obscure USDA official, American taxpayers did not realize that they had just been forced in the midst of a worldwide depression to pay out more than $1.25 billion to settle a race claim.

But Breitbart knew. And two weeks ago on Monday, July 22, 2010, he cleverly laid a trap which Sherrod and Obama + his cronies stumbled head first into which has now resulted in the entire world discovering the existence of this corrupt financial judgment.

As for Ms. Sherrod? Well, she’s discovering too late that her cry of “racism” to the media which was intended to throw the spotlight on Breitbart has instead thrown that spotlight on herself â€" and the huge corruption.

Sherrod has vanished from public view. Her “pigs”, it seems, have come home to roost.

Oink!

But the perpetrator of that law passed in dead silence leading to unlawful claims & corruption..... is still trying to fool all of US.

Okay, so I Googled and here's what I found:

"In general, there seems to be a consensus that many of the issues surrounding the implementation of Pigford can be attributed to the gross underestimation of the number of claims that would actually be filed.11"

There was only one teensy problem: The United States of America doesn’t have 86,000 black farmers!

Not surprising - the numbers of farmers grew. The 2007 census won't count farmers who had been forced out of business long before then, but had existed during the period over which this claim covered (1983-1997). While it's obvious that there will be a significant number of fraudulent claims filed, what's important is that each claim must file substantial evidence in order to receive compensation - you can't just show up, say you farmed, and get a hand-out. Read this for more in-depth info:
http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/asse ... S20430.pdf

Well, gosh how on earth did 39,697 explode into the fraudulent 866,000 claims?

It's 86,000, not 866,000.

And how did $50,000 explode into $1.25 billion?

That's 50,000 per claimant, not 50,000 total. $50,000 x 39,697 = $1,984,850,000. Only 59% of the original, filed-by-deadline claims were paid out, but also note that $50,000 wasn't just $50,000: it also included Debt Relief, IRS Payments for Track A Claimants + IRS payments for Debt Relief. See Table 1
http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/asse ... S20430.pdf
The most widely-used option—Track A—provides a monetary settlement of $50,000 plus relief in the form of loan forgiveness and offsets of tax liability. Track A claimants had to present substantial evidence

Well, folks, you’ll just have to ask the woman who not only spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the “Rural Development Leadership Network” but whose family received the highest single payout (approximately $13 million) from that action Shirley Sherrod.

It wasn't her family, it was the collective that she helped found. She and her husband received only $150,000 each out of the $13M.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resignatio ... ey_Sherrod

In 1969, Sherrod and her husband were among the U.S. civil rights and land collective activists co-founding New Communities, a collective farm in Southwest Georgia[61][65][66] modeled on kibbutzim in Israel.[67][63] The project soon encountered difficulties in the opposition of area white farmers, who accused participants of being communists,[63] and also from segregationist Democratic Governor Lester Maddox, who prevented development funds for the project from entering the state.[67] A drought in the 1970s and inability to get government loans led to the project's ultimate demise in 1985.[63] A federal law passed in 2008 to allow up to 70,000 more claimants to qualify,[63] which included New Communities, the communal farm in which Sherrod and her husband had partnered. In 2009, chief arbitrator Michael Lewis ruled that the USDA had discriminated against New Communities by denying a loan to the operation and extending more favorable terms to white farmers.[61] New Communities received a $12.8 million settlement that included $8.2 million in compensation for loss of farm land, $4.2 million for loss of income and $150,000 each to Sherrod and her husband for "mental anguish".[67][69]

http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/07/ ... l-farmers/
Oh, and: "In 2008, then-Sen. Barack Obama and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley got a law passed to reopen the case, and the settlement talks moved forward."
http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/asse ... S20430.pdf
"On May 5, 2009, Senator Charles Grassley and Senator Kay Hagan introduced S. 972, a bill that would amend the 2008 farm bill to allow access to an unlimited judgment fund at the Department of Treasury to pay successful claims.22 The legislation also allows for legal fees to be paid from the fund in addition to anti-fraud protection regarding claims. Senator Inouye introduced an amendment (S.Amdt. 3407) to H.R. 4213, the Tax Extenders Act of 2009, to provide the requested $1.15 billion. On March 10, 2010, the Senate voted 66-34 to invoke cloture on the bill and limit debate on the substitute being considered for amendment purposes. The vote blocked S.Amdt. 3407 as non-germane. No funding has yet been appropriated."

I think there's way too much credit being given to Breitbart. He had no intentions other than to aggrandize.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resignatio ... ey_Sherrod

Initially, Breitbart offered no apologies to Sherrod, saying that she still harbored racist sentiments.[44] On July 20, 2010, in an interview with CNN's John King, Andrew Breitbart responded to questions regarding his intentions of releasing the video saying that:[45]

This was not about Shirley Sherrod. It's about the NAACP. This was about the NAACP attacking the Tea Party and this [the video of Ms. Sherrod] is showing racism at an NAACP event. I did not ask for Shirley Sherrod to be fired. I did not ask for any repercussions for Shirley Sherrod. They were the ones that took the initiative to get rid of her.[45]

Now why would he say that if he truly intended to bring corruption supposedly led by Sherrod and the president to light?

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Can someone please explain to me why people still believe and post these kinds of emails when virtually every one of them proves to be baloney?
