Jesse Jackson's ties Does association with El Rukn gang leader explain his demands for bin Laden proof?

While Jesse Jackson Sr. was condemning U.S. airstrikes against Libya, an old friend and former employee of his from Chicago was conspiring with Libyan agents to terrorize the U.S.
The 1986 plot, foiled by federal agents, is known. Less known is Jackson's close ties to its mastermind, convict Jeff Fort a relationship detailed in an explosive new book, "Shakedown: Exposing the real Jesse Jackson."
From behind the walls of a federal prison in Texas, Fort from March to October 1986 plotted terrorist acts against the U.S. with members of his Chicago-based Muslim street gang and the Libyan government. U.S. forces pounded targets in the Libyan capital of Tripoli in April 1986.
The scheme involved buying machine guns, silencers, hand grenades and M-72 Series Light Anti-tank Weapons, known as LAW rockets, to destroy federal vehicles and buildings and even shoot down a commercial jetliner, according to a federal indictment.
Fort, former leader of the El Rukn (Arabic for "the foundation") gang, directed the operation using prison phones. "The Imam," as gang members called him, contacted Libyan officials seeking U.S. terror targets and money.
FBI agents intercepted Fort's phone calls, broke El Rukn code language (Chicago was "Mecca"; Milwaukee, "Medina," for example) and unveiled the plot from inside the prison, where Fort was serving time for drug and weapons crimes. He and Chicago gang members were convicted in the terror conspiracy.
The story might end there. But Fort's name turns up again and again in the "Shakedown" exposé, which documents how Jackson enlisted his old pal to deploy El Rukn thugs to scare Chicago businesses he boycotted.
Against the backdrop of Sept. 11, details of Jackson's close and long-standing ties to an Islamic terrorist are especially alarming. And they may explain Jackson's reluctance to condemn Islamic militants for last year's terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Jackson has criticized America's bombing of Afghanistan and has demanded the U.S. government produce more evidence linking Osama bin Laden to the Sept. 11 strikes. Early on, he sympathized with Muslim clerics in Afghanistan and even tried to work out a deal with Taliban leaders.
Is the two-time presidential candidate in league with Islamic terrorists? You be the judge:
Also disturbing is the lack of patriotism shown by Jackson and his family after the attacks.
Four days after the Sept. 11 slaughter by Islamic terrorists, there were no American flags at PUSH headquarters in Chicago, or at Jackson's home, as observed by Timmerman.
"No flags, no red-white-and-blue ribbons, no sign of mourning," he noted in his book.
Amazingly, no flags flew at the Chicago house of U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., either, he said.
Repeated phone calls to the Jacksons' spokespeople in Chicago, New York and Washington were not returned.

For Jack$on any ideology outside of Je$$e Inc. was only viewed as a means to an end, no matter how unsavory the ideology. The ends of course was money.
In the book this lack of principals allowed Jackson to be lead around by the dedicated commie Hunter O'Dell and a host of other anti-American scum (many wound end up in the Clintom Adminisration) that gained a voice throught the shakedown artist.
Never try to spell before morning coffee.
Geezz
Jesse Jackson or World Net Daily.
In reading "Shakedown" the most amazing aspect of the story is the near complete lack of media investigative work over nearly thiry years of Je$$e's shakedowns. For crying out loud the guy ran for President twice and the information in this book is just now getting out into the public. The media complicity in allowing, no creating this thug as a national black leader is a crime.
