THE LEGAL/LAWFUL RIGHT TO KEEP and BEAR ARMS
The right to keep and bear arms (often referred to as the right to bear arms or to have arms) is the people's right to have their own arms for their defense . . . In countries with an English common law tradition, a long standing common law right to keep and bear arms has long been recognized, as pre-existing in common law, prior even to the existence of written national constitutions. In the United States, the right to keep and bear arms is also an enumerated right specifically protected by the U.S. Constitution and many state constitutions such that people have a personal right to own arms for individual use, and a right to bear these same arms both for personal protection and for use in a militia. . . .

WE THE PEOPLE’S CONSTITUTIONAL, LEGAL and MORAL RIGHTS
EXPOSING THE PUPPET MASTER: UNDERSTANDING BAKER DONELSON BEARMAN
CALDWELL & BERKOWITZ’/KU KLUX KLAN’S ATTACKS ON HINDS COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI
SHERIFF TYRONE LEWIS
It is IMPORTANT TO NOTE, that former Hinds County, Mississippi Sheriff Malcolm McMillin is a CLIENT and FRIEND of Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz. So of course Baker Donelson isn’t taking it well that the CITIZENS of Hinds County spoke through their VOTES and MOVED FOR CHANGE! It is IMPORTANT TO NOTE, that it is Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz (Ku Klux Klan Affiliated) relying on its CONTROL and RUNNING of Government Agencies to PULL-THE-STRINGS and LAUNCHES the ATTACKS on Hinds County, Mississippi Sheriff Tyrone Lewis.
It is Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz’ – the KU KLUX KLAN’S – intent to REMAIN in POWER by any means (KILLINGS/MURDERS) necessary to keep their DESPOTISM Government Regime going. For some STUPID reason, Baker Donelson thought that with the DEATH/MURDER of Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba
they were WELL on their WAY in getting those they believe will allow themselves to be used as PUPPETS in place to HIDE/SHIELD their ROLE from the Public/World while they CONTINUED their RACIST practices of OPPRESSION and SUBMISSION they seek under their WHITE SUPREMACIST ideology and are hoping to carry on by giving the people the following FACES for DECEPTION purposes!
Yes, the KU KLUX KLAN has a Jackson, Mississippi Headquarter – using their Leader’s Law Firm Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz to AVOID easy DETECTION!
Right: Jackson, Mississippi Mayor Tony Yarber (assumed Office AFTER the
SHOCKING Death/Murder of Chokwe Lumumba). Left: Jackson, Mississippi Police Chief Lee Vance (assumed Office AFTER Chokwe Lumumba’s selection (Lindsey Horton) ABRUPTLY submitted a SHOCKING Resignation).
NOW it appears Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz is attempting to ROUND OUT their REPLACEMENTS by going AFTER Hinds County, Mississippi Sheriff Tyrone Lewis. For those who may not know it, Baker Donelson is LEGAL COUNSEL for the United States Department of Justice and United States Department of Labor and CONTROLS these Agencies as well as DRAFT the REPORTS regarding FEDERAL INVESTIGATIONS that are submitted to United States of America’s PRESIDENT Barack Obama as well as the United States CONGRESS! NEWS FLASH: Conflict-Of-Interest, Fraud and other crimes!
Through this Report, we are merely providing the SMOKING GUN and PULLING-OFF-THE-HOODS so that the Public/World can see HOW the Ku Klux Klan’s Members have INFILTRATED CONTROL the Governments (State & Federal) and are going about using the Governments to IMPLEMENT their RACIST ATTACKS on Black-Americans/African-Americans. Former Prominent Muslim and Civil Rights Leader/Activist Malcolm X WARNED that the DAY would come that these COWARDS’ Hoods would be removed if the Government REFUSED to do it! Well the days have come for REMOVING the HOODS and EXPOSING these KU KLUX KLAN Members and WHERE they are HIDING in the Government and going about IMPLEMENTING their RACIST Agendas!
The FOLLOWING FACTS are IMPORTANT to UNDERSTAND HOW
Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz (Ku Klux Klan affiliated) is going about getting CONTROL of Jackson, Mississippi’s GOVERNMENT Offices for CONTROL PURPSOSE and the FACES/OFFICES they are using to ACHIEVE their RACIST Agendas!

One Eastover Center Promises to Be Jackson's 'City Center'
Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber expressed gratitude to both Holder and developer Ted Duckworth for "having
vision when a lot of people could not have that same vision."
"This place that we're standing on is a linchpin," Yarber said. "It's a linchpin of some amazing things to come
in our city. It's a linchpin for other developers and people who are interested in great places to build businesses,
to grow businesses."
Construction will begin immediately. Baker Donelson law firm will be the lead tenant, occupying the third,
fourth and fifth floors of the building. The first and second floors will be available for lease. . . .

Green pulling most criminal cases from Weill, Kidd
Judge says new assignments will clear backlog of cases 3:19 PM CDT Apr 17, 2012
JACKSON, Miss. —Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Tomie Green is pulling
most criminal cases from judges Jeff Weill and Winston Kidd, court officials
said.
Green, the senior Circuit Court judge, issued the order on Tuesday saying the
move would clear up the backlog of cases and make the courts more efficient.
As of Aug. 1, Green and Judge Bill Gowan will hear only criminal cases. Weill
and Kidd will hear civil cases, but may also preside over capital murder and death penalty cases, court officials
said.
Mississippi law allows the senior circuit judge to divide the cases in such a manner, court officials said.

NEELY FULLER, JR. I, Neely Fuller, Jr., . . . like millions of others, have been a long-time Victim of and
Servant to Racism (White Supremacy) in all areas of activity. My experiences,
observations, and/or studies have led me to believe the following:
* Racism has done more to promote non-justice than any other socio-material
system known to have been produced or supported by the people of the known
universe.
* No major problem that exists between the people of the known universe can be
eliminated, until Racism is eliminated.
* The fear, frustration, malice, and confusion caused by Racism, retards or
prevents all constructive activity between the people of the known universe.
* The only form of functional Racism that exists among the people of the known universe is "White Supremacy."
* The people who have the ability to eliminate Racism, do not have the will to do so, and the people who
have the will to do so, do not have the ability.
* Regardless of all that has been said or done, the quality of the relationship between white people and black
people is, and has been, a total disaster.
* Justice is better than Racism.
* As long as Racism exists, anything said or done by people that is not intended to help eliminate Racism and
to help produce justice, is a waste of time and energy.
Each and every Victim of Racism should minimize the time and effort spent doing anything other than
thinking, speaking, and acting in a manner that helps to eliminate Racism and helps to establish justice.
Each and every person should seek to do this every day, in every area of activity, including Economics,
Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex, and War/Counter-War.
Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz (KU KLUX KLAN Affiliated) has played a MAJOR Role in PLANNING and ORCHESTRATING the ATTACKS on Hinds County, Mississippi Sheriff Tyrone Lewis. Planning and Orchestrating a PRISON ENVIRONMENT and UNDERSTAFFING of Hinds County Detention Center Officials to BRING ABOUT a HOSTILE Jail Environment/Prison System for purposes of PROMOTING their HIDDEN/RACIST Agendas and attempts to RE-GAIN CONTROL of the Hinds County Detention Center!
Yes, Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz (a KU KLUX KLAN Affiliate) is Legal Counsel and CONTROLS the United States Department of Labor! There is a CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST in the Department of Labor’s handing of any INVESTIGATION(S) against the Hinds County Detention Center. Moreover, DISCRIMINATION and PREJUDICE towards Hinds County Sheriff Tyrone Lewis and the DETERMINATION to DESTROY him and his Administration is the CORE of Baker Donelson’s and its Client’s (Department of Labor).

Department of Labor investigating
Hinds County
Jimmie E. Gates, The Clarion-Ledger 4:30 p.m. CDT October 7, 2014
The U.S. Department of Labor is investigating whether the Hinds County Sheriff Department violated overtime laws.
The U.S. Department of Labor is investigating whether the Hinds County Sheriff Department violated overtime
laws, and one county official says the county could have to pay current and former employees as much as $20
million.
County officials acknowledge there is an investigation, but referred questions to Hinds County Board of
Supervisors Attorney Pieter Teeuwissen.
Teeuwissen couldn't be reached Tuesday.
District 3 Supervisor Peggy Hobson Calhoun said she wanted Teeuwissen to explain the case since it is a legal
matter.
"I haven't been briefed on the situation, but I do believe a resolution is in the near future," District 5 Supervisor
Kenneth Stokes said, confirming the Labor Department investigation.
The Labor Department investigation involves the handling of overtime payment in the administration of current
Sheriff Tyrone Lewis and former Sheriff Malcolm McMillin.
Lindsay Williams, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Labor regional office in Atlanta, said that in general
once a complaint is filed, the Wage and Hour Division investigate and make a ruling. He said that if the finding
is that an employer owes wages, the employer will be required to pay the amount.
The overtime issue was expected to be discussed Monday in executive session, but the legal department didn't
bring it up.
In addition to a Department of Labor investigation, a former a Hinds County deputy filed a federal lawsuit in
April against the Hinds County Sheriff Department after he said he wasn't paid for 322 hours of compensatory
time when he left the department in January.
"Defendant (Hinds County Sheriff Department) engaged in illegally operating a compensatory time system that
did not meet the statutory requirements …, thus recorded overtime at improper rates of pay (one hour for one
hour instead of one and one-half hours for one hour)," John Markas Marbury said in the lawsuit.
Marbury says the sheriff department violated the Fair Labor Standard Act. He is seeking payment for the unpaid
compensatory time, damages, attorney fees, costs and expenses.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan denied the county's motion to dismiss Marbury's lawsuit.
Marbury said he worked for the sheriff department from October 1994 until he left January 17 of this year.
Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz THRIVES on ADVERTISING the ROLE(S) it plays in the CREATION/DRAFTING of Reports for Government Officials as that allegely given by the Grand Jury in the Hinds County, Mississippi Dentention Center matter.
Grand jury: Hinds County sheriff incompetent to
oversee jail
Detention center in Raymond plagued with problems 10:47 PM CDT Oct 02, 2014
JACKSON, Miss. —A Hinds County grand jury said in a report obtained by 16 WAPT News that Sheriff
Tyrone Lewis "is incompetent to oversee the jail."
The grand jury, which was convened during the July term, questioned the sheriff's ability to "keep pretrial
detainees or state inmates in a safe manner or to keep the public safe from the inmates," according to the report
filed in Hinds County Circuit Court.
Read grand jury report
The report recommends that court officials remove the jail from Lewis' control and remove any power he has to
supervise inmates "as he is incapable and unfit for this duty of his office."
The jury inspected the jail and met with Lewis and his staff before completing its report. While at the jail, grand
jury members "witnessed the immediate after effects of arson, a prisoner exposed himself to us and we
witnessed a prisoner in possession of a cellphone."
There were not enough officers to secure the jail during the grand jury's visit and the officers who were on duty
were frightened of the inmates, according to the report.
"The inmates seemed to be in control of the jail as a result of the shortage of guards," the grand jury said in the
report. "Neither staff nor inmates were initially aware that we were there. More training and staff presence are
recommended by this grand jury. Specifically, we recommend that guards be paid a rate that is competitive with
surrounding counties. We recommend that additional training for guards be instituted. Current training is
insufficient."
The grand jury reported the detention center staff appeared to be "inadequate in quantity and quality."
Lewis did not immediately comment on the report filed by the grand jury. The Hinds County Board of
Supervisors called an emergency meeting late Thursday afternoon.
"The statement that they felt that the sheriff needed to be removed, it is troubling to us," Hinds County
Supervisor President Darrel McQuirter said. "That's a very serious statement."
Judge Tomie Green called the special meeting to discuss the report, but the meeting ended with no decision on
any action.
"I don't want to alarm people. I don't want to make people think that something has happened or had happened.
The only thing that we're doing is evaluating this report right now," Hinds County Supervisor Robert Graham
said.
The detention center in Raymond has been plagued with problems since Lewis took office in 2012, including
prisoner escapes, fights and riots at the jail.
The U.S. Department of Justice has been conducting a civil rights investigation to determine if inmates are in
danger of violence at both Hinds County jails. The investigation was launched after a riot in March at the
detention center that killed one inmate and injured at least seven others.
Last week, Graham released a list of updates that had been made to the facility in Raymond. He said the repairs
include the installation of cell door locks, wire mesh to outside cell windows and 233 cameras inside and
Three pods -- A, B and C -- make up the Hinds County Detention Center. In 2012, Pod C was destroyed by
inmates after a disturbance that lasted about 10 hours.
Photos: Sheriff gives tour of detention center
In June, Lewis and Jail Administrator Diane Gatson Riley gave reporters a tour of the upgrades in the Pod C
housing unit at the detention center in Raymond. Lewis said then that the $8 million in improvements included
new locks on jail cells and a new ceiling. A new video visitation center and computer systems were added to
monitor inmates, Lewis said.
In 2013, a grand jury was convened by Green to look into problems at the detention center. The panel found the
facility was in deplorable condition; inadequately staffed; and posed a major security risk to inmates, staff,
visitors and residents of Hinds County.
Riley was hired at the end of 2013, based on a recommendation from the grand jury that the county hire a jail
administrator. She had previously served as warden at the Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility.
The grand jury also did an inspection of the Hinds County Courthouse and found it was in good and safe
condition with a few exceptions, including outdated security cameras and some maintenance issues.
Lewis was asked about the report Thursday evening, but he said he didn't know about it and had no comment.
McQuirter said everything will be taken into consideration before any decision is made on the jail's future.
"I think he's doing his job. The grand jury sees some other things, and we're just going to respect the report,"
McQuirter said.
A representative for Lewis said a response to the report will be made Friday. CUT & PASTED (As of 10/10/14) From: http://www.sunherald.com/2014/10/06/5840697/hinds-supervisors-reject-taking.html
Hinds supervisors reject taking jail from sheriff
The Associated Press October 6, 2014
JACKSON, Miss. — Hinds County supervisors are rejecting a plan to seek someone else besides Sheriff Tyrone
Lewis to run Hinds County's downtown and Raymond jails.
The move, proposed Monday by Supervisor Kenneth Stokes, was rejected 3-2. It follows a grand jury report
that called for jail supervision to be taken away from Lewis because of poor security and dangerous conditions
He argued that the county could get sued over poor conditions and be forced to pay a large judgment.
"Sooner or later, some of these lawsuits are going to come to light and as these lawsuits move forward, the
county could be hit with a crippling verdict," Stokes said.
Board of Supervisors President Darrel McQuirter told WAPT-TV (http://bit.ly/1pIghnu) that he has not seen
any legal documents saying supervisors have the power to remove the sheriff from any of his duties.
WHAT HYPOCRISY by Supervisor Kenneth Stokes! Was he CONCERNED about the VOLUME/NUMBER of LAWSUITS that were brought under Sheriff Malcolm McMillin’s HELM? How many times (if any) did Kenneth Stokes request the removal of the Hinds County Detention Center from Sheriff McMillin? Look at a list of some of the Lawsuits found during Sheriff Malcolm McMillin’s REIGN:
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: NOW The United States of Department of Justice’s INVOLVEMENT when it was TIMELY, PROPERLY and ADEQUATELY notified as early as June 24, 2009, through Vogel Denise Newsome’s pleading entitled, “REQUEST FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATION Into Henley Young Juvenile Detention Center (a/k/a Hinds County Youth Detention Center); Update On Additional Matters; SECOND Request For Return Of Monies Embezzled; and REQUEST FOR STATUS: http://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/062409-request-fedral-investigation-obama-holder of problems with the Hinds County Mississippi Jail System.
Emily Le Coz, The Clarion-Ledger 5:10 p.m. CDT June 3, 2014
The U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday it will investigate the Hinds County Detention Center in
Mississippi just weeks after local officials declared a state of emergency following a riot that killed one inmate
and injured several others.
The detention center includes a facility in the capitol city of Jackson and another in the suburb of Raymond.
Both are under investigation, the agency said in a press release.
"We don't have anything to hide; we kind of look forward to it," said Hinds County Board of Supervisors
President Darrel McQuirter, whose board had declared the state of emergency on April 1.
The riot occurred on March 31, but problems have plagued the dilapidated detention center for years. Among
the issues are cell doors that don't properly lock, widespread gang activity and overcrowding due in part to
inmates who have been jailed for months and even years without trial.
"Our investigation will focus on whether Hinds County protects prisoners from the harm that can result from
prisoner on prisoner violence and the improper use of force," said Jocelyn Samuels, Acting Assistant Attorney
General for the Civil Rights Division, in a press release.
"We have not prejudged this matter, and will seek cooperation from county officials and other stakeholders
during the course of the investigation."
Attorneys for the County Board and the Sheriff were notified on June 2, 2014. McQuinter said everyone will
fully cooperate with the federal investigation.
News of the investigation came as little surprise to Hinds County Sheriff' Tyrone Lewis, who said the detention
center's history of woes almost begged for federal intervention. Lewis said he welcomes the outside probe and
hopes it brings much-needed improvement to the facility.
"We've been seeking help since we've been in office two and a half years," said Lewis, who in 2011 beat
incumbent Malcolm McMillin for the seat.
McMillin had served for two decades and was there when the detention center opened, despite known structural
deficiencies, in 1994.
Included in the investigation will be a comprehensive review of policies, procedures, and records, as well as
interviews with county officials, jail administrators, staff, and current and former inmates, according to the
DOJ, which said it opened the investigation under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
"The Office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi will work diligently with the
Civil Rights Division to ensure that the investigation into the detention center is one that will ultimately yield
results that are helpful to the citizenry of the Southern District of Mississippi, and specifically, Hinds County,"
said Gregory K. Davis, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi.

Justice Department by phone at (202) 514-6255, by email at [email protected] or by mail at:

Hinds County Sheriff's Race Not Over By Lacey McLaughlin Wednesday, August 3, 2011 1:02 p.m. CDT
Candidates and concerned citizens filled the basement of the Hinds County
Courthouse this morning as they waited for the Hinds County Election
Commission to certify remaining ballots that could determine the winner of the
sheriff's race. After reports of polls opening late, and candidates left off ballots at
the Wynndale precinct in Terry, supporters of Hinds County Sheriff Malcolm
McMillin are questioning the validity of the ballots.
The Hinds County Election Commission must certify approximately 700
absentee and affidavit ballots as well as 650 paper ballots from the Wynndale
precinct. Wynndale used paper ballots when candidates did not appear on the
Preliminary totals show Tyrone Lewis winning the race with 17,743 votes or 51.7 percent and McMillin close
behind with 15,503 votes or 44.7 percent.
The Hinds County Democratic Executive Committee will return to the courthouse at 1:30 p.m. to watch the
commission certify the remaining votes.
"If it's a fair election, then we lose the election---the people spoke and we listened," Andrew McMillin,
son of Malcolm McMillin, said this morning. "If it's not a fair election, or there are issues of impropriety, then
we will have an issue with it and pursue it. Until we have the certification of those numbers, we won't say yay
or nay."
For his part, Lewis gave a speech to supporters last night, claiming victory.
LOOK at the following News Article that ran about September 2013:
The following content was CUT & PASTED (As of 10/09/14) from: http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/new-mayor-sets-sights-on-black-nation/ ; however, the PICTURES have been added by Vogel Denise Newsome for EDUCATIONAL and INFORMATION purposes in hopes of providing the Public/World with a BETTER UNDERSTANDING behind what appears to be the DEATH/MURDER of Jackson, Mississippi’s Mayor Chokwe Lumumba on or about February 25, 2014 – i.e. approximately FIVE (5) months AFTER the following Article ran.
WND EXCLUSIVE
New U.S. mayor sets sights on 'black nation'
Republic of New Afrika leader now guiding capital city's direction
Published: 09/28/2013 at 5:31 PM
Voters in Jackson, Miss., a mid-sized city in the heart
of the Deep South, have picked a Democrat as their
mayor. What’s different about this individual is that
he is a former leader of the Republic of New Afrika, a
group dedicated to creating an independent black
nation out of five southern states.
Now leading the city of about 175,000 is Chokwe
Lumumba – who has a long history of radical activism
and whose plans for the largest city in Mississippi could
about Washington, where the buildings were built “off the blood of our people” and using the “wealth they have
stolen not only from colonies all over the world, but the African colony.”
“This is a corrupt system,” he shouted. “There can be no bargain with this system … there can be no
compromise. … We are New Africans. We come here because we are colonized.”
END OF NEWS ARTICLE
So from reading the above News Article and perhaps what one may already know, HOW is what former Mayor Chokwe Lumumba and the New Republic of Afrika DIFFERENT from what Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz has done on behalf of the KU KLUX KLAN:
(1) Built a DESPOTISM Government Regime.
(2) CONTROLS the United States of America’s Government (State & Federal) – EXECUTIVE Branch (U.S. White House & State Governors), LEGISLATIVE Branch (State & Federal - Senate and House of Representatives) and JUDICIAL Branch (State & Federal – Courts). Going as far as DRAFTING the LAWS/EXECUTIVE ORDERS, etc. and using CONGRESSIONAL Members (State & Federal) as FRONTS to keep the KU KLUX KLAN’S activities hidden from the Public/World.
(5) CONTROLS the United States of America’s TELEMARKETING Industry.
(6) CONTROLS the United States of America’s INSURANCE Industry.
(7) CONTROLS the United States of America’s HEALTH Industry.
(8) CONTROLS the United States of America’s GAS/OIL Industry.
(9) The List goes on-and-on.
Really, did BAKER DONELSON BEARMAN CALDWELL & BERKOWITZ actually think that Vogel Denise Newsome was going to remain SILENT regarding the DEATH/MURDER of Chokwe Lumumba? THINK AGAIN!
So WHAT’S UP with trying to KEEP HIDDEN Baker Donelson’s/Ku Klux Klan’s ATTACKS on Chokwe Lumumba’s ADMINISTRATION even AFTER his DEATH/MURDER for purposes of placing what may be seen (after further inquiries/investigations) as HOUSE NEGROES in Office they want to CONTROL! By now Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz may be aware that its USE of FRONTS to HIDE/SHIELD their IDENTITY and ROLE(S) in Crimes/Legal matters have been EXPOSED in Vogel Denise Newsome’s Social Forums. For instance at: http://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/baker-donelson-invisible-practices-pulling-the-strings-behindthescene-practices
WARNING. . . WARNING. . .WARNING: BACK DOWN
BAKER DONELSON BEARMAN CALDWELL & BERKOWITZ THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR ENGAGING IN CRIMINAL ACTS! The BLACK-Americans/AFRICAN-Americans of Jackson, Mississippi
THROUGH Their VOTES Have SPOKEN! NOW There Are Attempts By The KU KLUX KLAN
To Place FRONTS In Office For Purposes Of KEEPING Control Of The Government!

Jackson mayor dies
suddenly
Published: 2/25 5:54 pm
Updated: 2/25 7:05 pm JACKSON, Miss. (WTVA/AP) — Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba has died suddenly at the age of 66. WLBT-TV reports the mayor was admitted to St. Dominic
Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham Stewart says the mayor passed away before 5 p.m. Lumumba served one term on the Jackson City Council before winning the mayor's race last June. He was born in Detroit as Edwin Taliaferro and changed his name in 1969 when he was in his early 20s. He said he took his new first name from an African tribe that resisted slavery centuries ago and his last name from African independence leader Patrice Lumumba. Local officials are offering their condolences following Lumumba's death. Among them are Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton, the Tupelo City Council and Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz (a KU KLUX KLAN Affiliate) is Legal Counsel to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Yes, Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz is Legal Counsel to United States of America’s PRESIDENT Barack Obama and CONTROLS the United States Department of HEALTH! Having a WELL-ESTABLISHED History of working with GOVERNMENTS to INJECT Black-Americans and African-Americans with SUBSTANCES for purposes of KILLING/MURDERING them!
Lumumba is remembered as a civil rights and human rights leader.
Jackson (Miss.) Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, a longtime civil
rights activist, died Tuesday afternoon at a hospital after
experiencing chest pains.
He was 66.
His chief of staff choked up as she announced the news.
"It is with heavy heart that we inform you that our beloved
brother, human rights activist and mayor of the great city passed
away this afternoon," Safiya Omari said at a news conference
Tuesday evening. "We ask that you pray for his children and
family, his friends and for this great city of ours."
The national civil rights community took note when Lumumba became mayor last year of Mississippi's
capital city — a place that had seen its share of violence during the civil rights movement. Lumumba, a
black nationalist, had worked with mainstream and leftist figures in the civil rights world.
The civil rights community expressed sadness at his passing. . . .
The native of Detroit was born Edwin Taliaferro and graduated cum laude from Wayne State University Law
School. He renamed himself after Patrice Lumumba, the Congolese independence leader, and the Chokwe, an
Angolan tribe.
Lumumba's activism began early. On the day after Martin Luther King Jr. died, he took part in a student
takeover of a campus building at Western Michigan University, where he was a student. He and others were
demanding more black educators and scholarships for black students. He also pushed for more black studies
programs at colleges and universities in the Midwest.
He worked with Julian Bond and Dick Gregory as a leader with the Republic of New Afrika, a social
movement that proposed an independent black country in the southeastern United States. He also was a
target of the FBI's counterintelligence operation.
In 1985, he was part of a legal team that uncovered evidence demonstrating how the FBI targeted and
framed late Black Panther Geronimo Pratt. He also defended former Black Panther Assata Shakur, also
known as Joanne Chesimard, late rapper Tupac Shakur and represented activists protesting the beating of the
late Rodney King.
In 2011, Lumumba successfully persuaded former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour to release the Scott
sisters, who served 16 years for an armed robbery they said they did not commit.
There was no official cause of death as of Tuesday night, Lumumba's son, Chokwe Antar Lumumba, told the
news media and supporters at St. Dominic's Hospital, where Lumumba was pronounced dead.
"I thank the city of Jackson," Lumumba's son said. "I thank you for giving my father the opportunity to serve
the city. It has given him great joy. He has enjoyed working for you."
"He was a great mayor because he was always open and transparent. We didn't agree about everything, but you
could talk to him and if you had disagreements you could vent it out," said Jackson Councilman Melvin Priester
Jr. "He brought a spirit of openness."
Lumumba hoped to convene a 50th anniversary commemoration of the Mississippi Freedom Summer, when
activists traveled to Mississippi to push for voter registration. He often compared some of the poverty in
Mississippi to that of a Third World country.
"It is a tragedy for Jackson," Louis Armstrong, the city's deputy director for human and cultural services, said.
"We lost a really good man."
City Council President Charles Tillman was sworn in as acting mayor.
Lumumba was widowed and leaves behind two sons and a daughter.
The Republic of New Afrika is the LEGACY of Prominent Muslim Civil Rights Leader/Activist Malcolm X. The Republic of New Afrika (RNA) became the TARGET for DESTRUCTION by the United States’ FBI for purposes of OBSTRUCTING progress in the Black-American/ African-American communities. In fact for purposes of DESTROYING The Republic of New Afrika, the United States’ FBI in 1971, performed an UNLAWFUL/ILLEGAL RAID on this Organization and in the process KILLED/MURDERED Jackson Police Officer William Skinner and then FRAMED RNA Members for his death/murder.
Former Jackson Police Officer William Skinner WHOSE SON (William Louis Skinner II – Klan Member) now SITS as a Judge in the Hinds County Court and was been GIVEN CONTROL OVER the Hinds County Youth Detention Center it appears for BREAKING DOWN and DESTROYING Black-American/ African-American youth (Ages 10-17) – i.e. IMPLEMENTING the Willie Lynch Practices!
Oh, it appears that Judge William Louis Skinner II FOUGHT to keep control for purposes of EXPERIMENTING and IMPLEMENTING OPPRESSIVE Slave practices.
As recent as 2013, it appears Judge Skinner was SANCTIONED and SUSPENDED for 30 Days and FINED $1,000.
The QUESTION being, WHY is Judge Skinner still a Hinds County Judge and WHY isn’t he BEHIND bars for his CRIMINAL role(s) in the February 14, 2006, KIDNAPPING of Vogel Denise Newsome (in the Spring Lake Apartment matter). In this KIDNAPPING Judge Skinner, Constable Jon Lewis and Legal Counsel Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz used the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond, Mississippi to hold Newsome AGAINST HER WILL where she was SHACKLED in CHAINS until her parents PAID a RANSOM masked as a BOND!
Judge William Skinner, Constable Jon Lewis and Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz Lawyers/Attorneys are a DANGER and THREAT to the PUBLIC/WORLD! In fact, AFTER Vogel Denise Newsome filed her Lawsuits involving Judge William Skinner, Constable Jon Lewis, Sheriff Malcolm McMillin and others, it appears Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz advised Constable Jon Lewis – i.e. who NOW HOLDS and at the TIME of Newsome’s 02/14/06 KIDNAPPING was CHAIRMAN Of The Mississippi Athletic Commission UNDER Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and is STILL CHAIRMAN under Governor Phil Bryant. http://www.msboxing.org/About_Us_Contact_Us.html - to file FALSE and MALICIOUS Criminal Charges AGAINST Vogel Denise Newsome as a DEFENSE to the Civil Lawsuit: Criminal Charges Filed Against Newsome by Constable Jon Lewis:
In fact, it appeared that Newsome’s attorney Richard Rehfeldt attempted THROW Newsome under the Bus as he worked with Baker Donelson to get a CONVICTION. However, UNBEKNOWN to Rehfeldt and those he was COLLUDING with, Newsome had GONE PUBLIC in EXPOSING the criminal acts of Constable Jon Lewis and others. So when Attorney Richard Rehfeldt DELIBERATELY failed to advise Newsome of the Court date – i.e. with KNOWLEDGE of her absence would result in an ISSURANCE OF A WARRANT for her ARREST - he was DISAPPOINTED when the Judge DISMISSED the Criminal Charges AGAINST Newsome without her being present.
Criminal Charges against Newsome were DISMISSED: http://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/ex-44-criminal-charges-dismissed-sla
HOW DOES Vogel Denise Newsome KNOW So Much About BAKER DONELSON BEARMAN CALDWELL & BERKOWITZ? Newsome is GLAD YOU ASKED/WANT TO KNOW! Because Baker Donelson and others they COLLUDE with are ENGAGING in the CRIMINAL STALKING of Newsome
from STATE-TO-STATE/JOB-TO-JOB that expands OVER 25 YEARS!
Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz entered an APPEARANCE in the Newsome vs. Entergy Matter.
This is a lawsuit in which Baker Donelson had TWO of its JUDGES (Morey L. Sear and G. Thomas Porteous) assigned and WITHHELD from Vogel Denise Newsome the CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST that exist as well as used the Entergy lawsuit to THREATEN Newsome’s attorney (Michelle Ebony Scott-Bennett) for purposes of having Ms. Bennett ABANDON her client.
Yes, Vogel Denise Newsome REPORTED the CRIMINAL/CIVIL violations of Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz arising in the Newsome vs. Entergy Lawsuit to the United States Department of Justice as early as September 17, 2004: http://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/ex-34-
091704-petition-seekingintervention-entergymatter
In FACT, shortly AFTER Vogel Denise Newsome brought ANOTHER lawsuit in Newsome vs. Mitchell McNutt & Sams, it appears that the United States CONGRESS moved to have Judge G. Thomas Porteous IMPEACHED and REMOVED from the BENCH. Do you think they advised Newsome that these IMPEACHMENT proceedings were taking place?
NO! Newsome was able to obtain this information based on research
So WHY was Judge G. Thomas Porteous IMPEACHED? For TAKING Bribes, Kickbacks, Blackmail, etc. to THROW Lawsuits and more! http://www.slideshare.net/VogelDenise/impeached-judge-g-thomas-porteous
So WHY was this information WITHHELD from Vogel Denise Newsome? Because UNDER the Laws of the United States of America and other governing Statutes/Laws, Judge G. Thomas Porteous HANDLING of CASES are NOW subject to INVESTIGATIONS and those cases the Court have CLOSED will have to be REOPENED!
WHEN Law Firms as Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz (KU KLUX KLAN Affiliate) are NOT STOPPED, it goes on to ENGAGE in MORE CRIMINAL/CIVIL wrongs and become a DANGER/THREAT to the Public/World:
U.S. v. Jimenez Recio, 123 S.Ct. 819 (2003) - Essence of a conspiracy is an agreement to commit an unlawful act. Agreement to commit an unlawful act, which constitutes the essence of a conspiracy, is a distinct evil that may exist and be punished whether or not the substantive crime ensues. Id. Conspiracy poses a threat to the public over and above the threat of the commission of the relevant substantive crime, both because the combination in crime makes more likely the commission of other crimes and because it decreases the probability that the individuals involved will depart from their path of criminality.
that result in needless DEATHS/MURDERS of those Baker Donelson and the KU KLUX KLAN see as a THREAT to their DESPOTISM Government Regime!
NOW the ATTACKS on Hinds County, Mississippi Sheriff Tyrone Lewis!
First Judicial District Empanelled July 2014 TERMF I L E 0 TO THE HINDS COUNTY CIRCUIT JUDGES:
OCT -2 2014 REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY
Jail
We have made a personal inspection of the County Jail located in the First Judicial District of Hinds County. While at the jail, we witnessed the immediate after effects of arson, a prisoner exposed himself to us and we witnessed a prisoner in possession of a cell phone (a felony). Jail staff informed the Grand Jurors inspecting the Jail that occurrences like these were beneath the Sheriff's notice. Additionally, we noted that there were not enough officers to secure the Jail. Those officers that were on duty there were frightened of the inmates. The inmates seemed to be in control of the Jail as a result of the shortage of guards. Because of the noted problems, we issued subpoenas for County and Jail staff to appear before the Grand Jury and explain the situation at the Jail in addition to our inspections.
As to the physical facilities, we find the Jail building in the First Judicial District of Hinds County is in adequate condition, and sufficient for the safekeeping, accommodation, and health of prisoners except as noted below:
Control room/ booking:
Inmate area:
Control room needs updated cameras/ colored monitors.
Monitors are very dim it is necessary to turn out lights in order to see the images on the screen.
Elevator breaks down and has an odor.
The interview room, mold is visible on the air vent and ceiling.
The air vents are rusty and the building is not well ventilated. In addition, there are tiles missing from the ceiling. Water is visible on the floor.
Mildewed tiles are in shower.
Tissue in door frames to prevent the doors from locking.
3rd floor lights are out in the hallway.
Room 307 has a 3" hole in window. (This in not the first report of this problem)
73~- 3/~
Staffing:
The 4th floor ceiling tiles hanging down from the ceiling.
Room 401d shower tiles missing and there is a crack in the glass.
Room 402 has a deadbolt missing. We are told that inmates disable lights in this area.
Room 406 has a window that is cracked.
Room 408 is completely destroyed.
Room 409 has a broken window. It is shattered and dangerous.
Room 412 has a crack in window and a sheet in top of door.
The kitchen and laundry room were okay at the time of inspection.
Lastly, the staffing appeared to be inadequate in quantity and quality. A female deputy was supervising male inmates alone. Inmates were attempting to break glasses as we entered the floor. Neither staff nor inmates were initially aware that we were there. More training and staff presence are recommended by this Grand Jury. Specifically, we recommend that guards be paid a rate that is competitive with surrounding counties. We recommend that additional training for guards be instituted. Current training is insufficient.
Jail Conclusion:
After hearing from the Sheriff and his team, we are of the opinion that Sheriff Lewis is incompetent to oversee the jail or keep pretrial detainees or state inmates in a safe manner or to keep the public safe from the inmates. Therefore, we recommend that any Hinds County Circuit Judge or Chancellor remove the jail from the sheriff's control and remove any power Sheriff Lewis has to supervise pre-trial detainees or inmates pursuant to Mississippi Code Ann.§ 19-25-9 as he is incapable and unfit for this duty of his office.
Finally, our findings relate only to the fitness of Sheriff Tyrone Lewis to competently execute his office and should not be construed to interfere with any other agency or individuals review and attempts to improve the Hinds County Jail or detention facilities.
317
Courthouse
We have made a personal inspection of the County Courthouse located in the First Judicial District of Hinds County and find it is in good and safe condition except as noted below:
General-
Basement-
The security cameras are inadequate for the safety of the public. They are more than 25 years old.
All Courthouse elevators are in poor repair although some have been under repair.
The vents have suffered water damage.
Basement security cameras are put up with tape.
There are sharp metal edges on some corners that need to be repaired.
There is damage to the ceiling of the Election Commission's Office.
Carpet is a hazard and needs to be replaced.
Public men's restroom- urinals will not flush.
Public women's bathroom has a damaged vent, a sink with a broken handle, and poorly functioning toilets.
Circuit Clerk's Office- The linoleum style tile is a hazard in that it was laid on top of the previous carpet and keeps coming up. Some of the tile is currently held down with tape.
There is a constant drip of water from the ceiling that is damaging the Clerk's Office.
The air conditioner in the Clerk's Office has not worked for two or three years. When turned on it makes sparks and is a fire and electrical hazard.
All other floors are adequately safe.
