Pigford

I must do this. I don’t want to. The whole Pigford thing makes me ten times madder than that little imbroglio in the Baltimore prisons.

I tried to write about it the other day, but I got all the way to the end and my brand new computer suddenly locked up. Mysteriously. So I’ll try again today, and write less but link more. Pigford is the most disgusting, most blatant, most racist rip off of the American taxpayer you will ever see.

Yes, Breitbart was right. Years ago. I wrote about it then. While there may have been some race-based denial of farm loans at USDA once upon a time, Pigford 1 was a mess. Poorly handled, full of false claims, full of greedy lawyers and corruption. And Obama was a dirty son of a bitch who opened that can of worms for a second time. And gave us Pigford 2. With 100 times as much money, and almost no qualifications. It was Mo Money, Free Money. It was Reparations. In the very words of the lawyers and backers of the whole thing, it was Reparations. And with the help of Senator Obama, it became a massive vote buying scheme, to the tune of NEARLY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS in taxpayer money. A double whammy: using tax dollars to buy himself voters. Not even private slush fund money.

And it is still going on; Pigford “recruiters” are still traveling about the South. Are you Black, Hispanic, Native American, or Female*? Have you ever seen dirt? Do you know what a seed is? Then you qualify; you have “attempted to farm”. Sign here, get your $50,000. “They have just opened the bank vault.” But hey, don’t forget about them there other minorities; let’s get whore-mongering scuzzball NJ Senator Robert Menendez on board, and hand out millions to the Hispanics too. And any Native Americans we can find. And womens too, don’t forget them - because as 53% of the population, they’re a minority too!! 

It’s payoff, pure and simple. It’s a crime. An imprisonable and impeachable offense. It’s huge. And it isn’t news. Nothing to see here, move along. Don’t you dare say a word or you’ll be branded a racist. BRA wins again.

Look, when even the Mt. Sinai of leftist worldview, the New York Times, owns up to it, it’s pretty much cut and dried. Granted, the Times doesn’t mention the term Pigford for the first two pages, then avoids using the word Fraud for a couple more, but eventually they get around to admitting that this was cronyism, vote buying, and corruption at it’s worst. It’s a scandal 10 times bigger than Solyndra. It’s a crime. It’s Reparations. It’s business as usual here in Black Run America, so don’t even notice it if you know what’s good for you.

And the story can be found in plenty more place than just Brietbart. It’s a story that should bring down a presidency. But then, so should have Solyndra. And Benghazi. And Fast & Furious. And on and on and on .... nothing to see here, you white middle class bitter clingers, move along ...

The New York Times reported Friday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has likely enabled massive fraud in the Pigford series of legal settlements, in which black, Hispanic, female and Native American farmers have claimed to be victims of past discrimination.

The cost of the settlements, which could exceed $4.4 billion, is the result of a process that “became a runaway train, driven by racial politics, pressure from influential members of Congress and law firms that stand to gain more than $130 million in fees,” the Times notes.

Among those influential members of Congress was then-Senator Barack Obama, who made Pigford payouts a priority in exchange for political support for his 2008 presidential campaign among a coveted group of black voters in the rural South, the Times reports.

As president, Obama continued to support payouts for new groups of claimants while abandoning a review process that had been used to fight fraud. The aim was “buying the support” of minorities, according to the Times, while middlemen created a “cottage industry” in defrauding the government.

On Friday, April 26th, the New York Times ran a front page exposé on the Pigford farmers settlement scandal. The Times article ended with the story of Tom Burrell, the head of a group called the Black Farmers Agricultural Association, who still travels around the country giving workshops allegedly instructing people how to commit undetectable fraud in the farmers settlements and receive tax free checks for $50,000. 

The Times article closed with this quote from Mr. Burrell:

He closed with a rousing exhortation: “Let’s get the judge to go to work writing them checks! They have just opened the bank vault.”

On Saturday, April 27th, Burrell was giving another series of workshops. This time, Burrell was in Houston, Texas; thanks to promotion from an article in the Houston Chronicle, Burrell was playing to an absolutely packed house at the Communications Workers of American union hall, a 4,000 square foot modern events facility.

It was standing-room-only in the main hall, as about 500 people--the majority of them Afrcan-American--listened as Burrell took them step-by-step through the process of filing a successful claim in the Pigford black famers settlement.

Nothing to see here, move along. And keep right on working so you can pay your taxes.

* While I have read quite a bit on Pigford over the past several years, I have not read everything. I do not know if just being Female is sufficient to get you 50 thou. There may be exceptions galore, such as being from a city, being White, never having even seen a farm, being White, etc. Maybe it’s a case of Double Payout - if you can check “one from column A” and “one from column B” you can get even more. But nothing if you can only check Column B. Know what I’m saying girlfriend? Uh huh.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
