Audit Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow-PUSH "Charities" Jesse
Jackson Should Come Clean
Will any violations of law pertaining to the misuse of taxpayer or charitable contribution funds be investigated and prosecuted? The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson admitted on Thursday, January 18, 2001, that he had an extramarital affair that resulted in the birth of an illegitimate daughter that was then 20 months old. Jackson's spokesman said Jackson had had an affair with a woman who worked in the Washington office of Jackson's civil rights group, the Rainbow-PUSH Coalition. The mother, former Jesse Jackson aide Karin Stanford, was paid $40,000 from one of Jackson's tax-exempt charitable organizations to help relocate her to California, in addition to a continuing $3,000 a month in support.

Jesse Jackson and his organizations have been described by some as "Rent-A-Riot". Here is a recent quote from Jesse Jackson where he was talking about having integrity and avoiding blatant dishonesty. This quote pre-dates Jackson's most recent outing and exposure as the father of an illegitimate child conceived while he was married and the father of other children: "We've got to fight to save our country. We must also do so with integrity. You can't build trust around blatant dishonesty." - Rev. Jesse Jackson, December 11, 2000 In the next quote, Jesse Jackson has illegitimacy on his mind. "We will take to the streets right now, we will delegitimize Bush, discredit him, do whatever it takes, but never accept him." - Rev. Jesse Jackson, December 11, 2000 Jesse Jackson admitted to the press, shortly after being exposed as fathering the illegitimate baby of his mistress while he was married with children, that he himself was born as an illegitimate child. "I was born of these circumstances," said Jackson, himself born out of wedlock. [January 18, 2001 CNN story, with contributions from the Associated Press and Reuters.] Now, who is really illegitimate and who did Jesse Jackson really delegitimize? At least $35,000 to $40,000 was paid to Jesse Jackson's mistress out of "charity" funds under highly questionable circumstances. Did Jesse Jackson have any other illegitimate children, or any mistress pregnancies and abortions? How much tax money and tax-deductible charitable contribution money has been spent as hush money and to raise and possibly abort Jesse Jackson's illegitimate children? Once again, the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson has been exposed as a hypocrite, a demagogue, an opportunist, a fake, and a fraud.
The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson admitted on Thursday, January 18, 2001, that he had an extramarital affair that resulted in the birth of an illegitimate daughter that was then 20 months old. Jackson's spokesman said Jackson, 59, had had an affair with a woman who worked for Jackson as head of the Washington office of Jackson's civil rights group, the Rainbow-PUSH Coalition. The mother, former Jesse Jackson aide Karin Stanford, 39, was paid $40,000 to help relocate her to California, in addition to a continuing $3,000 a month in support, according to John Scanlon, Jesse Jackson's New York-based spokesman. The Washington Post reported on Thursday February 1, 2001, that Karin Stanford was authorized to use funds from one of Jackson's tax-exempt charitable organizations to buy buy her $365,000 house in Los Angeles. According to a Sept. 10, 1999, letter to Karin Stanford from a top Jackson aide, Jackson's Citizenship Education Fund (CEF) approved a "draw" of $40,000 for Stanford against future consulting fees "for the purpose of acquiring residential real estate financing." A copy of the letter, signed by Janice L. Mathis, CEF board member and Rainbow/PUSH general counsel, appeared in the Friday, February 2, 2001 edition of the weekly National Enquirer, which researched the story of Jackson's affair and broke the story in January. The Post said a Jackson aide confirmed the existence of the letter on Wednesday, January 31, 2001. Spokespersons for Jackson have offered various conflicting explanations for the payment, describing it as moving expenses, an advance on contracted work, severance pay, payment for consulting services, and payment for contracted research work including writing papers on the digital divide between whites and blacks and on Federal Communications Commission licensing in minority communities. Note that with free internet services and the wide availability of low cost, high performance used personal computers, it is difficult if not impossible to support claims that there exists a "digital divide" due to economic disparity. Every time newer and faster computers are introduced to the market, the prices of previous generation computers plummet. Anyone who has tried to sell or buy a used computer knows this. And even cheap used computers outperform the needs of most users. It should not take tens of thousands of dollars to search for racism by studying a "digital divide" that does not exist. False claims of a "digital divide" have been made to demand public funds and extort charitable "contributions" to solve a "racism" problem that does not exist. The mother of Jackson's baby was pregnant at the time Jackson made visits to the White House, in the weeks before the sexual harassment trial perjury and obstruction of justice scandal triggered then President Clinton's impeachment in December 1998. Jackson counseled Clinton and prayed with Clinton's family on a grim weekend in August 1998, as DNA evidence on a blue dress forced Clinton to finally admit the truth about his affair with Monica S. Lewinsky to his wife and daughter, and to the nation in a televised speech. Jackson's child was conceived earlier in 1998, the same summer that Clinton admitted the Lewinsky affair, with Jackson acting as his public and private confessor. Stanford gave birth to a daughter in May 1999, months after Jackson began counseling Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. "I was born of these circumstances," said Jackson, himself born out of wedlock. "I fully accept responsibility, and I am truly sorry for my actions," Jackson said in a written statement issued just before his public exposure in a published National Enquirer report on the Jackson child. Jackson spokesman Scanlon told CNN that Jackson issued the statement in advance of tabloid newspaper reports about the child. "We decided to issue this statement so that our point of view could be reflected in this story," Scanlon said. According to a January 21, 2001 CNN report, Patricia Shipp of the National Enquirer defended the tabloid's pursuit of the story during an appearance on CNN's "Reliable Sources." Jackson said he went public because some publications were about to run accounts of his affair and the child. "It is a legitimate news story not only because he's the head of Rainbow and the woman of his child worked under him," Shipp said, but also because Jackson, as a minister, "was at one time the spiritual adviser to the president of the United States." Jackson counseled former President Clinton in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Jackson is the host of "Both Sides with Jesse Jackson," a weekly discussion program on social and political issues. The program, which normally airs on CNN at 5:30 p.m. on Sundays, was not scheduled to be shown on January 21. Jackson enraged many in 1984 by referring to Jews as "Hymies", and by supporting the Palestine Liberation Organization, a terrorist organization that targets Jewish and Israeli civilians. Jackson has rejected the freedoms recognized by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. He has publicly supported racist and soft-on-crime policies including the ban and confiscation of traditional self-defense firearms from the law-abiding public. Jackson even advocates the ban of safe and effective affordable self-defense firearms mislabeled as "Saturday night specials". During August 2000, President Clinton awarded Jackson the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow-PUSH
