DOJ vs. African People's Socialist Party: Omali Yeshitela Blasts Charges of Being Russian Agent

We look at a federal indictment of four U.S. citizens for alleged election interference that has received little press attention despite its major implications for free speech and activism in the country. In April, the Biden administration charged four members of a pan-Africanist group with conspiring with the Russian government to sow discord in U.S. elections. Omali Yeshitela, chair of the African People's Socialist Party, faces charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, along with Penny Hess, Jesse Nevel and Augustus Romain Jr. Three Russians were also named in an indictment unsealed by the Justice Department on Tuesday. This follows a violent FBI raid on the activists' properties in Missouri and Florida last summer. "It's very clear that this is about more than what the government has said it's about," says Yeshitela, arguing the real objective in the case is "to destroy our movement."

@@littlestone1541 But the obvious thing is something you seem to forget, he took money from a man tied to Russian government that was on a mission to create discontent in the US. Taking money from Spainish government, isent as relevant because Spain has no wish to cause problems in the US. You see one is obvious money from a government the other is an unoffical agent of the government, with a specific mission to cause disconent. I imagine same thing about most of his other trips, that any money recived is directly tied to the organization with the interested party, not a ironic meeting of "self-determination" created by a unoffical government agent who is known to recruit people to work against governments around the world.

When Congress approves billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, they borrow that money from big corporations or banks. Companies provide this money from their profits, which they would otherwise have to pay taxes on. In this way, they skip paying taxes and the state repays the debt to them with interest! Can it get any better!? The same corporations and oligarchs sponsor political election campaigns.

This is interesting, thank you for posting

[@grigorirazumovski1012]

I did not know about such group. Omali Yeshitela, a lot of respect, just from what i heard here. Need to learn more. I wonder, can anyone be prosecuted for such "conspiracy", like if you are a socialist and see the whole thing going in a diffrent light than the elite want? When stuff will start falling down on the government level, the hope is on guys like this. The mess we have, and the systematical problems. Wars that we know are unavoidable because of the economic system we have.

[@GrimLocke161]

Not the first Black Man on this program to lie through his teeth and become a pawn of the Far Right and certainly won't be the last. Still, I look forward to Omali and Gazi reaping exactly what they've sown.

[@GrimLocke161]

Why didn't Omali mention that he had Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov on some video program "during which Ionov falsely stated that anyone who supported Ukraine also supported Naziism and white supremacy?" Oh, I'm sure that's no big deal.

[@GrimLocke161]

It was fun watching Omali squirm in the very end, and I only wish I could see him stutter to defend himself in court. But, if I didn't want to look guilty of being a NazBol, I just wouldn't involve myself with Russian disinfo campaigns that also propped up Black Hammer! 🤣

Nice to see Omali Yeshelita tell his side of it.

He’s one of the most intelligent and bravest people I’ve met but one of meanest to. I use to belong to this group

Why mean?

[@irvingkurlinski]

Yeshitela is wearing a beret with a red star and saying what??

[@MsTMarie83]

It's almost like symbols can have different meanings & ideologies for different groups.. A red star, five-pointed and filled, is a symbol that has often historically been associated with communist ideology, particularly in combination with the hammer and sickle, but is also used as a purely socialist symbol in the 21st century. "One interpretation sees the five points as representing the five fingers of the worker's hand, as well as the five populated continents (counting the Americas as one)."

Symbols for the "symbol minded". G. Carlen

Mr. Yeshitela is a great and a very brave guy.
