I wonder how much Jesse raked in over all his Africa adventures ??

Chump change. Diamonds aren't even the main business. Hardwood lumber is. Gus van Kouwenhoven, Talal El-Ndine,Simon Rosenblum and Kuku Denis are the ones in Taylor's inner circle who run that.

OHHH I have an idea where the money came from, to buy the diamonds that were later sold to pad the pockets of all the crooks at the top...That dumb honky Pat Robertson...

I heard mention of this (Jackson and his bloody diamonds) the other night on O'Reilly...BUT what was also interesting...Religious leader Pat Robertson is UP TO HIS ears involved in ass kissing of Taylor too!

Robertson told The Washington Post in an interview published Thursday that he has "written off in my own mind" an $8 million investment in a Liberian gold mining venture he made four years ago, under an agreement with Taylor's government.

"Once the dust has cleared on this thing, chances are there will be some investors from someplace who want to invest. If I could find some people to sell it to, I'd be more than delighted," he said in the article.

He said his investment was intended to help pay for humanitarian and evangelical efforts in Liberia.

Angell Watts, a spokeswoman for Robertson, said Robertson was not available to comment Thursday because he was traveling. She also declined to comment.

What the decline to further comment is all about is this...there are "squatting rebels" on the land of the gold mind...Pat wants his Christian "buddy" Taylor ro go in and slaughter the rebels, so that the "christian" investment can proceed according to plan. Pat is delusional if he really believes that Taylor is a christian and deserves to be treated as such.

I have nver been a FAN to Christian church TV monopolies...but now I have evidence and a reason to support my "distrust" of yet another. He will soon run down the path of destruction as Swaggart, J Jackson and Baker.

Funny how Pat and Jesse, with their love of the gospel, are really singing to a VERY small choir...of bankers.

In one telephone conversation with Taylor, on May 7, 2000, Jackson gushed: "Brother Taylor, word is coming through that you are playing a constructive role. Two or three wire-service stories. Congratulations! Your public leadership is important."

When challenged by African reporters during a May 12, 2000, press conference as to why he was relying on Taylor and Sankoh to get the U.N. hostages released, when in fact they had orchestrated the hostage crisis themselves, Jackson said, "There is blood on everybody's hands and no clean hands. If Charles Taylor can talk to the [RUF] commanders and they hear that, that would be positive. It would be different if he were encouraging fighting, but he is not."

Hmmm, well what can I say! Jesse is such a hypocrite!

This is an very enlightening article, thanks for sharing it. I doubt we'll hear much about this as the left/media have mastered filtering the information available to sheeple. Eight years of the most inept foreign policy in US history has left an incredible mess for the current administration and this country. There is a special place in hell reserved for Bill Clinton.

“diamond wars of Liberia and Sierra Leone” and Jackson was in it up to his eyeballs.

If any of you have ever met anyone who escaped from Sierra Leone or Chad, it’s an eye opener.

Thanks for pinging this, ironic on a day Jesse is making the news.
