Shakedown Artist Jesse Jackson?

[Captain Kawaii]

A friend and I were discussing the the on-going tragic train wreck in progress in Ferguson recently and Jesse Jackson came up. Shakedown is how Jackson's business transactions in his hometown have been characterized.

I decided to take a look at Jesse and found this.
True stuff? Fake?
Its a bit old but I've always suspected Jesse was "placed" in position just like GOB's in the OBN.

Editor?s note: Over the last 30 years, Jesse Jackson has managed to declare himself ? with the help of the mainstream media ? the most prominent leader of black Americans. Recently mired in a scandalous extramarital affair, questions about Jackson?s financial transactions and credentials now have made their way to the light of day. Author Kenneth Timmerman explores those questions in his new book, ?Shakedown: Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson.? Using groundbreaking interviews by the author and documents just released by the government, Timmerman portrays Jackson as a master manipulator of the public. WND writer and talk-show host Geoff Metcalf recently interviewed Timmerman about many of the facts he uncovers in ?Shakedown.?

Metcalf?s daily streaming radio show can be heard on TalkNetDaily weekdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time.

Q: ?Shakedown? is an amazing piece of work. You so clearly demonstrate that Jesse Jackson is a ubiquitous and chronic liar about big things, little things, anything.

A: He is a compulsive liar ? a bit like Clinton.

Q: He actually makes Clinton look like a second stringer, and he is a world-class liar. The audacity of Jesse is epic. There is so much to cover that this is difficult, which is why people have to buy this book. Let?s start with Jackson?s academic achievements, or lack thereof.

A: He went to the University of Illinois for one year in 1959-1960. He wanted to play quarterback and claims the coach on the team said, ?You can?t play quarterback because you?re black.? Obviously, an early encounter with racism, right?

Q: So who did play quarterback, since Jesse didn?t?

A: I went back and checked that, and guess what: There was a black quarterback for the University of Illinois that year, and his name wasn?t Jesse Jackson.

Q: Did he earn the title ?The Reverend??

A: I don?t think so, and many of the black preachers I interviewed for ?Shakedown? don?t believe so either. I describe a two- to three-year process for earning that title. Jesse Jackson got himself ordained two months after Martin Luther King was shot. It was essentially a political ordination, a shotgun ordination. He did not go through the long procedure. He was not licensed to preach, as far as I could determine. I went to the church where he was ordained. He did not go through this two-year process. He never submitted himself to the authority of the church. He has never had a church himself, and he has been accountable to no one.

Q: Did he ever get a degree?

A: He did not. He flunked out of the Chicago Theological Seminary after less than a year. But the good news, I guess, is he was finally awarded an honorary doctorate from that same theological seminary more than 30 years later.

Q: And by the way, who was board of that institution?

A: (laughing) I was getting there. In the year 2000, he was finally given that degree after ?Junior? ? Jesse Junior, the congressman ? was put on the board of the seminary.

Q: I?m sure that was just an interesting coincidence.

A: Yes.
