How easy is it to file a false claim in the Pigford settlement?
Have people been signing up for Pigford under the belief that it’s reparations for slavery?
Was the settlement intended to help black farmers hijacked to benefit people who had never farmed?
There has been conjecture and circumstantial evidence about these controversial questions surrounding the Pigford “Black Farmers” settlement for years but a complicit mainstream media’s lack of serious investigation has meant there has been little ‘hard evidence’ to prove or disprove these allegations.
Until now.
On Thursday, February 10th, at CPAC, I will release to the press, bloggers and citizen journalists two hours of complete, unedited audio of a behind-closed-doors meeting directly related to the Pigford case that show direct evidence of fraud and abuse in the settlement. This audio will be released with a set of notes making it easier to navigate and find specific sections and statements.
The material will be simultaneously released online and in a press conference at CPAC. The live event will also feature filmmaker and journalist Lee Stranahan, Niger Inis from CORE, farmer Eddie Slaughter, and talk show host David Webb.
This material I’m releasing does much more than implicate one person.

There does seem to be a story in this Pigford case.

Yet critics justifiably have argued that the class-action suit rests on an edifice of fraud. One of them, a member of Congress, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, is taking action. He’s lined up a pair of unnamed witnesses, one a black farmer and the other a longtime USDA employee, willing to tell all. Early this month, Rep. King announced these individuals indicated a willingness to reveal to Congress that plaintiffs’ attorneys engaged in an unscrupulous campaign to sign up co-plaintiffs, many of whom never farmed in their lives. The issue now is whether he can persuade his colleagues to hold a hearing.
Gotta love these new journalists. Doing the job the MSM gave up doing 40 years ago.

Is it too late for the House to block the payments?
WHOA!!!! I can hardly wait for this!!
it’s not even a conservative convention, the likes of homosexuals, Trump others who are liberal on social plus other policies.
CPAC can go to hell as far as I’m concerned now
Racist charge card to be whipped out in 3..2..1..
many are not even conservative, some are socially liberals.
some are lets reach across and sell our souls to the left.
what an utter sham this is and yet fox will promotes this as conservative which it is not.
That’s your boy!
A CPAC bonus.
Too bad the homosexuals insist on making the event a platform for promoting their controversial agenda.
Andrew Breitbart’s name is on there to speak in which it will be broadcast live on C-Span was my point.
And the last name on there Lt Col Allen West sure ain’t no RINO or PC progressive dem appeaser.
Speaking of random politics.I have a prediction: Dennis Kucinich will challenge Obama; he is everywhere he was just on C SPAN and he is slick. He is a once self admitted communist but now he is a moderate of course.
Yea, but we knew Keene was going, just not when.
No, I mean those in power who made pigford POSSIBLE.
Obviously you’re never heard Allen West speak. His words are far from warmed over shlock.
Back on this thread. If Obama paid people $40K a piece to get votes in SC how did he pull off NC? Just ACORN or other ‘reparations’?
