bookfan Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 This was referenced in another thread, but I'm starting a separate one to talk just about this issue. A statement attributed to Angela Davis was posted on the web on Nov. 17, saying: On September 24 the FBI raided homes of 14 activists in movements in solidarity with oppressed workers and peoples of Latin America and Israel/Palestine. Read the whole thing here. As far as I can tell from scouring the Web, Davis is the only person in the world who claims to know anything about this. And she isn't sharing any details that would allow anyone to find out any more about it. I'd be very interested to learn more about this alleged incident. But did it really happen? And did that statement really come from Davis? If it did, why is she being so coy about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kola Boof Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I am one of the 14 authors that Angela Davis is referring to. Those who follow me on Twitter, including a few heavyweight people in publishing who read this board, know full well what has been going on with me and others...I have been Tweeting it as a LEAD IN to Angela Davis's official public statement for the last MONTH. Considering that this person BOOKFAN has an "obsession" with discrediting me and consistently STALKS, "slanders" and "LIES" on me...yet considers himself to be "normal"and "trustworthy" ...I'm not the least bit surprised that he's WORRIED about people listening to Angela Davis and trying to cast doubt before you even have any knowledge of what you're talking about. You never do. You think you're God and your commentary always reads as such, White Dog. Again, I invite intelligent people to read my Essay detailing my personal experiences as published by WOMANIST-MUSTINGS to coincide with Angela Davis's comments yesterday: FBI and NSA dealings with Kola Boof **NOTE: I also take delight in having this ignoramous claim that I've copied Gloria Naylor's book since the complaints in my essay were POSTED ON THIS VERY BOARD long before Naylor's book was ever Published. Carey, Cynique, ChrisHayden, ABM and Troy all know this. So whine & WORRY about people believing us Black Activist Writers all you want Infiltrator.

Kola Boof Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 By the way. CHERYL WALSH and GLORIA NAYLOR are both very pleased with my essay as they have been knowing my situation since 2006 and have been in contact with me since 2006. Dr. Stuart Bramhall (a white woman psychiatrist) is also part of our group and her book identically mirrors the experiences of Gloria Naylor and Kola Boof, too. So seeing as Dr. Stuart Bramhall went through the same ordeal for 15 years, we can't all be crazy. ANGELA DAVIS will say MORE when she's good and goddamn ready.

Kola Boof Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yesterday, Angela Davis gave a press statement complaining about the F.B.I.'s treatment of 14 writer/activists. She appealed to President Obama to do something about this problem. This morning, my related essay about my own personal experiences with the F.B.I. and NSA was published by WOMANISTMUSINGS.COM to coincide with Angela Davis's statement: The FBI and NSA dealings with Kola Boof For those who follow me on Twitter, you know what I've been going through the last month dealing with the FBI as I've TWEETED leading up to Ms. Davis's statement for weeks. My essay documents from 2001 until now. Her statement is here: Angela Davis Statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfan Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Well, this is embarassing. I should have looked a little harder, as this was a big deal in Minneapolis and Chicago, where the raids took place. According to news reports, the people targeted by the raids were peace activists and critics of American foreign policy from the Twin Cities or from Chicago's Freedom Road Socialist Organization. These were people who had traveled to Colombia and the Middle East, and the FBI was looking for evidence they had provided "material support" to FARC, a guerrilla organization in Colombia, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, or Hezbollah. Those are indeed terrorist groups (and in the case of FARC, kidnappers and drug traffickers to boot), and some of these people acknowledge having talked to members of the foreign organizations. That's where this investigation gets controversial: the Department of Justice has previously prosecuted American citizens for merely talking on the phone to people connected to proscribed groups. In the Sattar/Stewart case, those kinds of charges were thrown out by the courts. My apologies to Ms. Davis for too much knee-jerk skepticism.

No...it's your brain playing tricks on YOU, because I am indeed one of those peace activists. Paragraphs 9 to 12 Daily Nation, Kenya And those were NOT the only 2 cities, dumb phoney. As usual you don't know WHAT you're talking about; you stumble around with nothing worthwhile to do with your fucking life but make up reasons why people should HATE me. WHO are you helping by obsessing over somebody else's passions and opinions?? Get a fucking life or either be a MAN and preach your own goddamn opinions about earth!
