North Minneapolis: NAACP President “Uncovers” two of the North side seven and an estimated $4 million dollars
I could possible owe Mr. Booker Hodges and the NAACP an apology. It looks like we are on same team, maybe playing different positions…
By Donald W.R. Allen,II – Editor in Chief/IBNN and USA Radical Black.com
Poverty pimps, community hustlers and clergy bamboozlers have made a good living off the Black people in Minnesota. I have been writing about this for over three years – still today, a few of you still don’t get what’s going on. Now I have to lay some more information on you.
Why haven’t we heard anymore about Annshalike Hamilton – found murdered with her body frozen to a cement garage floor; Quincy Smith, former KMOJ DJ tased to death by the Minneapolis Police Department or Ahmed Guled, a Somali man shot more than 13 times on Golden Valley Road by the MPD. We have to ask ourselves, “How did Gregory Washington, the choir director charged with having sex in the church with a minor – travel under the radar for so long?
Charez Jones, Alisha Neeley – two teenage girls shot dead in the prime of their adolescent lives.
What about Ira Stafford, brutally beat on a traffic stop by the Minneapolis Police, who said they stopped him because his brake lights were not working – later on we find out from a Fox 9 News investigative report, Mr. Stafford’s brake lights worked fine.
All the above incidents have one thing in common: Our community “spokespersons” remained silent. Read more
Apology to the North Minneapolis Community. We don’t have leaders, we have self-appointed spokespersons
Black leadership has to recognize that principles more than speech, character more than a claim, is greater in advancing the cause of our liberation than what has transpired thus far. ~Louis Farrakhan
In recent articles on IBNN, we have stated that north Minneapolis has a few “self-appointed leaders.”
Well that’s not the case.
IBNN took it for granted that these individuals from the areas of media, human services, politics and a host of other industries were “leaders,” when in fact they didn’t have the integrity, honesty and experience to guide a community to greater levels and work with others on a fair and knowledgeable playing field.
With local “spokespersons” going on record saying, “Bad parenting is the reason we have crime, gangs and a failure of the Black infrastructure,” none of these inexperienced “spokespersons” want to talk about the systemic reasons why. These spokespersons have left out an important part of the explanation on why Minneapolis youth resort to violence, drug dealing, babies having babies and crime.
They see no future.
MSNBC reports that, “Minorities make up nearly half the children born in the U.S., part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the U.S. majority over the next 40 years. In fact, demographers say this year could be the “tipping point” when the number of babies born to minorities outnumbers that of babies born to whites.
- Black Minnesota spokespersons have not talked about the plan to address the issues of no jobs; no economic development; no graduations from high school for children of color. They are not ready for this “tipping point.”
- Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak has been “planning” for 8 seasons. As he continues to plan, our (Black) spokespersons have not come to terms on where Black Minnesota is.
- Over 55 weeks ago, we watched a mini-movement with highlighted marches on the state capital for force the hand of the Minnesota Department of Transportation to cooperate, facilitate and let us (Blacks) participate. Year-to-date: Nothing.
- While they (Poverty-Pimp Spokespersons) battle for crumbs, millions of dollars are passing through the realm of process where people with a plan have full access to dollars and jobs which will lead to wealth and independence for everyone but us.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to downplay the roll of spokesperson – but the right “spokespersons” turn into people like Malcolm X, Dr. King and Huey Newton – who for most part are prepared to die for what they believe in, rather than organize their community for cash grants – you know who I’m talking about.
Present day spokespersons are motivated when a camera or a news reporter is on the scene of a crime or event. They are the first to jump in front of a camera to be the “mouthpiece” for the whole community.
On earth, the only thing you can do without experience is “count numbers.”
Some of these spokespersons cannot read; or have never made a payroll.
Their idea of community engagement is to meet with the mayor or other politicians – whom for the most part already know these folks don’t have a plan or a clue. Ask yourself, “When was the last time a meeting with a local politician created jobs for north Minneapolis?”
Case in point: On February 18, 2010 the 58B state representative, who is the Vice-Chair of the Transportation Finance and Policy Division, and sits on the Transportation and Transit Policy and Oversight Division, called a meeting at the request of local “spokespersons” with Congressman Jim Oberstar to discuss the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s ongoing compliance issues.
Sources tell IBNN that towards the end of the meeting on Congressman Oberstar asked this group, “What can I do –what are the suggestions?” Only two of the members of the group had a plan. Remember, “fluff” is only good in baking.
You see, there are only a few that have the experience and goal setting skills to operate in the realm of efficiency, while making sure “the least of thee” have the tools for success.
We (Black people in Minneapolis) continue to give our power to rodeo clowns and sideshow freaks that don’t care if you mothers and fathers have a job.
The Death of North Minneapolis…
Alisha will never know what it is like to attend college or to pledge a sorority. She will never marry and have children or see her grandchildren. The death of this young girl represents a lot more than a continued rise in violence. It represents the over-all catastrophic failure by those “self appointed” leaders who have condemned their own “reflections,” the youth of north Minneapolis. Poverty Pimps march to the tune of the all mighty dollar. This would be okay if dollars were reaching the community – but no, they organize for finance, not for “the least of thee.”
17-year-old Alisha ‘LeLe’ Neeley, was laid to rest on Saturday, March 6, 2010.
Editorial by Donald W.R. Allen, II – editor in chief/IBNN and USA Radical Black
“I couldn’t stay in the church for long. Looking at the young girl laying in a casket dead, no future, no tomorrow, just a memory of a day and time imagining what she would do tomorrow if she were alive. Earlier I watched as 187 people (I counted), mostly youth marched down Broadway Avenue to the church. One question I had…Why was MADDADS still in the parking lot of Cub Foods putting on a show when everyone had left?”
As of today, no suspects have been arrested in the death of Alisha Neeley. This continued trend of shootings and murders grow in North Minneapolis, and around the metro area. The death of Ms. Neeley represents more than we realize. This is the third death in less than 3-years where north Minneapolis (female) teenagers are killed by random acts of violence.
For the last three years, community leaders and north Minneapolis politicians have promised jobs, economic development and a chance for the youth of north Minneapolis to have a better chance for success. What has happened is a self-serving process of “give me the money” to pay the people who work in my building, “screw the community.” Perpetual north Minneapolis non-profit stupidity. (Just ask the Peace Foundation when they have ever hired 20 people from the north Minneapolis community.)

IBNN Exclusive Report: Youth with weapon attempts to enter funeral of Alisha “Lele” Neely (Captured on Film)
Exclusive video by IBNN. (Note: Channel 5 KSTP didn’t have time to view the clip. Again, FOX 9 News is the winner!)
As the funeral for young Ms. Neely was well under-way, IBNN’s editor in chief Don Allen stood outside of the church interviewing different people about the tragic loss of another north Minneapolis youth. A young man walking north on Lyndale Avenue, heading to the funeral was apprehended by Minneapolis police.
Going to a funeral with a weapon? WHY?
Watch the video below:
This string of violence in and around community leaders, was identified early this week in an email to IBNN from a Terrell Brown, who wrote:

Subject: the black list
Mr. Allen,
I advise you to be very careful rhetoric. We now have orders to put the “Wexler” Plan into effect. We have instituted controlled mayhem on the street of North Minneapolis, and several people have been put on the BlackList. You do not want to be on this list Sir, individuals that have poisoned the black community for years will suddenly become very quiet, not socialable at, due to the fact the IRS pressure ad audits of their personal and non profit accounts, they will start using contracts, and will start being investigated and prosecuted. We already have seen one individual ducking bullet for speaking out over the weekend, you may not know about the “Wexler Plan” we suggest that you ask your advisors about it, they helped us formulate it in 2004, when we flew in from Washington.
The Cold War has arrived…

Sources say, that a movement in north Minneapolis has targeted several high-profile “self-appointed” leaders that only community organize for profit, rather than to assist the community in build wealth and independence. Could the attempt by this young man be a part of the ongoing “targeting” of poverty-pimps in north Minneapolis?
Stay tuned. IBNN has more information and asks the question, “Why did the rally in north Minneapolis this morning not start where Alisha was murdered”? One of the answers is “Poverty-Pimps were warned by the underground group calling themselves ‘the Taliban’ to not been seen in certain areas.
More to come.
WCCO 4 (CBS) Television fails in journalistic integrity with “edited and spliced” tape of the Minneapolis Police Beating of Ira Stafford…rating F-
People that like honest and factual reporting can watch the full un-edited squad car video of the Minneapolis Police beating of Ira Stafford on Sunday, March 7, 2010 on the Black Focus Show hosted by Ron Edwards on channel 17 (Minneapolis Television Network) at 5 p.m. – this broadcast of the real tape will prove that WCCO 4 is nothing more than a self-masturbating, fluff station that obstructs viewers from factual data when it comes to the Black community. CBS needs to change the content manager at the station (and a few reporters).
Minneapolis (IBNN)…At 4: 22 a.m. on August 14, 2009 Ira Stafford, a resident of north Minneapolis was stopped by Minneapolis Police Officers on Lowry and Bryant north for his brake lights not working. (On 10/08/09 charges against Mr. Stafford were dismissed.)
Squad 425’s camera show’s a different account of what happened to Mr. Stafford then what WCCO channel 4 showed to its viewers at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.
WCCO has posted their version on the WCCO.com website titled, “Mpls. Police Officials Investigate Traffic Arrest,” as reported by Caroline Lowe. We want to remind readers that this is the same reporter who was given “leaked” information about the Minneapolis police overtime controversy who squashed any public reporting of the heinous administrative practices of the MPD.
The fact is, WCCO 4 downplayed what really happen on the night of August 14, 2010. The video that will be played Sunday on Black Focus from squad car 425 shows that Mr. Stafford’s taillights and brake lights clearly were in working order. The tape will also show a Black man who was beaten, tasered and yelled, “Why are all you White police man beating me,” – and answered, “There’s a Hmong officer here too!”
WCCO Channel 4, a CBS wholly owned station continues show only parts of the story. By “downplaying” and obstructing factual data to its viewers WCCO 4 again has been rated by African-Americans (and Friends) Against Mainstream Media F- on reporting in and about the Black community and its continued effort to address police brutality to include the murders of Quincy Smith and Fong Lee.
WCCO 4 Television makes it easy for news items in the Black community are stuffed under a rug without any fairness in reporting or journalistic integrity. I guess that’s why they make the big bucks… Read more
MURDERAPOLIS – Code 4, No More
The recent shootings (and murders) in Minneapolis leave us to look at local politicians who boast they have “broken the backs” of local gangs and shut down gang violence. We know “crap” when we hear it!

Minneapolis politicians are incapable of telling something as trivial as the truth – much like the mainstream media outlets who “celebrate” the “celebrity” of certain political positions while bypassing journalistic integrity. Read more
Minneapolis’ Star Tribune newspaper’s bias reporting causes defamatory speculation at Internet marketing firm (Updated)
On Tuesday, February 23, 2010 the Minnesota Division of the FBI and Secret Service raided the offices of iNetGlobal, located at 250 Second Avenue South in Minneapolis.
In an official statement released by iNetGlobal – (the Star Tribune never bothered to run), the company says:
On Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - U.S. Federal Agents arrived with a warrant to search the Minneapolis offices of iNetGlobal™ looking for something to substantiate their claim that illegal activity was occurring in the business.
iNetGlobal™ provides a number of essential internet tools and services for the small and home based business market.
These services include: Domain Registration, Web Hosting, Email Marketing, Shopping Cart, eCommerce, Local Business Directory, Press Release service, Search Engine, and Pay Per View Advertising services.
iNetGlobal offices will remain open to provide support to our thousands of customers from around the world. iNetGlobal will continue to provide the level of quality service our customers have come to expect now and into the future.
We would like to thank all of our Members and Customers for their support and well wishes in this trying time.
Thank you – iNetGlobal
The Minneapolis’ Star Tribune’s report on iNetGlobal was misleading, incorrect and lacked real information about iNetGlobal and the reason the Federal Government can only “suspect” a Ponzi scheme. Since the first posting of this story, KARE 11, KSTP 5 and a handful of bloggers and online media outlets have picked up on the tainted one-sided story that the Strib delivered to their wavering readership.
Remember, in the United States, the American people in business have no protection over the federal governments investigative branch. Without absolute facts American businesses are at the whim of federal agencies which can freeze bank accounts, take computers and close offices with nothing more than an allegation.
The land of the free and home of the brave is now being ruled with Communist, Gestapo tactics.
The United States government would never go into a non-profit, human service agency that had received millions of dollars in federal money to address a disparity in an under-served community that posted no results, but denies, obstructs and freezes assets from businesses on a daily basis without proof of guilt with a “wild, wild west” mentality.
On Tuesday, February 23rd, Star Tribune reporter Jim Walsh, wrote, “Federal agents raided a Minneapolis business owned by local musician Steve Renner Tuesday morning in what authorities are ‘calling’ a suspected Ponzi scheme. The secret service said it would not divulge any other details at this time.”
The Star Tribune has not seen a copy of the search warrant; nor did they have relevant details about what triggered the investigation. The newspaper has used it’s “power” to skew a story adding defamatory contempt prior to a full investigation and a Grand Jury inquiry.
Has the meaning of the word “calling” changed to “guilty?”
Just for the record: iNetGlobal™ is a global Internet Service Company that provides essential services for its target market—entrepreneurs, home-based business, small businesses, and corporations—all those who need to market on the Internet. These “V” core services include—V-Webs™, V-Newswire™, V-Local™, V-Webcast™ and V-Shops™ – in addition to its online advertising services make up the bulk of the company’s business. Following its humble beginnings in 2006, iNetGlobal finally perfected what is now its current product lineup in July 2008. Since introducing the iNetGlobal™ services, the company has become one of the fastest growing Internet service companies in the world.
Our business model pays individuals to “Surf the Web” while using our products to promote and build capacity for their small businesses. iNetGlobal members are no different than Marketing Experts who sell online advertising and get paid commissions. In traditional advertising and marketing, the cost for such exposure would be phenomenal and beyond the reach of most small businesses.
iNetGlobal has created opportunities on a Global level.
iNetGlobal’s “V” core services are the back-bone of online Internet marketing. Following iNetGlobal’s™ humble beginnings in 2006, the company finally perfected what is now its current product lineup in July 2008. Since introducing the iNetGlobal™ services, the company has become one of the fastest growing Internet service companies in the world.
When staff questioned the intrusion of the government agencies, Robert MacQueen, Secret Service Lead Search Agent said, “This Company (iNetGlobal) is running a Ponzi scheme. We have 3500 Chinese filing a suit that said this.” Special Agent MacQueen went on to say, “We have frozen your bank accounts and the ‘victims’ will get their money back.” One of the staff of iNetGlobal asked the agent “Isn’t that for the courts to decide? It looks like you have found the company guilty with contempt, prior to investigation.
In closing, the United States of America was founded on hard working individuals that wanted to make a better life for themselves. It seems currently, if an individual is successful the federal government and the ponds they use (Star Tribune) paint an unrealistic picture of entrepreneurial success.
But really, when was the last time you purchased a newspaper versus reading your news online?
I feel the Star Tribune newspaper has lacked journalistic integrity in this story, and in other stories by not allowing their readership the option to see both sides.
The Tea Party Movement rejects the Republican Party
Editors Note: IBNN has run this story at no charge. We feel stongly about the Tea Party Movement and support them 100%.
“Watch out old, antiquated, red neck Republican Rhino’s. The Tea Party Movement is ready and positioned to cut the tent wide open.”
Declaration of Tea Party Independence
I. As the course of human events winds its way through History, it has found some paths lead to Tyranny and some to Liberty. In seeking a path to Liberty, a great and powerful movement is now rising from every corner of our land. Created by the Will of the American People, it rejects unconstitutional domination by the Government that is supposed to be its servant. This movement has arisen, in large part, because our elected officials have failed us.
For much of its history the United States has been a land of prosperity and liberty, sound policies such as fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and a belief in the free market have safeguarded this condition. In recent years however, Congress, the President, the Federal Reserve Board and the Courts have replaced those practices with profligate government spending and expansion of the government power beyond what is
Constitutionally permissible.
This course, if not reversed, can only lead to economic collapse and tyranny.
Therefore, Individuals acting through the Tea Party Movement, seek to restore the policies, which are proven to safeguard liberty and prosperity for all. We will organize, demonstrate and vote until this restoration has been achieved. We will stay focused on this goal and remain INDEPENDENT from any persons or political parties who seek to distract us from this end.
Many seek to define this Movement, to use it, to lead it, to co-opt it, to channel it, to control it, to defeat it.
WE WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.
The Tea Party Movement is in agreement with our Founders that the government that governs least governs best. We believe that Capitalism – NOT GOVERNMENT – is essential to the creation of wealth and a vastly reduced government provides the foundation for a thriving Capitalist system.
The Tea Party Movement of America embraces and serves people of all races, creeds, religions, and political affiliations, and we declare ourselves to be independent of all those forces that seek to manipulate our actions or control our destiny.
II. We Declare ourselves INDEPENDENT of the Democrat Party and its power drunk junta in Washington DC, which is currently seeking to impose a Socialist agenda on our Republic.
We reject arrogant Left-wing politicians who furtively hide from public scrutiny, as they cut corrupt deals loaded with earmarks and pork in order to produce 2000 page pieces of legislation so purposely incomprehensible, they do not even bother to read them before foisting them upon us.
We reject the endless creation of myriad federal government agencies that drown free enterprise and local control in the swarms of education, energy, ecology, and commerce bureaucrats who style themselves “czars” sent to harass us. We reject the creation of federal government regulations and agencies which demand the States pay for unfunded Federal mandates.
We reject a Democrat Party which refuses to give credence to our demands for just redress of grievances and which insults and seeks to demonize our legal right to peacefully protest the unjust laws it inflicts upon us.
We reject a profligate Government that is spending TRILLIONS of dollars on worthless socialist schemes designed to bankrupt us and put the American people in a position of dependence on the State, as peasants begging for their very sustenance from self-styled “educated classes” and so-called “experts”.

Let’s Recap 2009 – Wake Up America!
1. The American people elect a president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office. The President’s first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated.
2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.
3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere.
4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for.
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years.
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.
8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed.
All this occurred just during the first three weeks – but who’s counting?
America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges – Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus…”it’s spending!!!”
The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 **(that’s $800 billion)** pork-laden spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Television!
Here’s the good news though – Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR.
Obama has now been president for twelve months, and yet he and Michelle (the first lady), the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration.
KFAI-FM: WAVE Project – “Is a Spoonful of Integration enough for the rest of us?” Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 6 p.m.
“By listening and watching local media, you would think that Valentines Day was the only event going on in the month of February. With CNN’s special, featuring Soledad O’Brien’s “Black in America 2,” – a watered down version of what it’s like to be Black America is skewed for a White audience, it misses the mark at every turn. The issues for those who are forward thinkers are jobs, economic development and education. Tune in KFAI on Sunday for the real State of the Union about Black America.”
Minneapolis, MN Feb. 12 / IBNN/ — Tune in Sunday, February 14, 2010 to KFAI-FM Radio at 90.3FM (Minneapolis) & 106.7 (St. Paul), 6 p.m.-7 p.m. to KFAI’s Wave Project. This program will feature Springboard Economic Development Corporation’s CEO Lennie Chism; Don Allen, the editor and chief of The Independent Business News Network and USA Radical Black with along with Kelechi Jaavaid, better known as KJ the comedian, will be live on KFAI to discuss the topic “ Is a Spoonful of Integration enough for the rest of us? That is the remaining 37 Million African Americans in the United States.”
You can also tune in nationally by going to www.kfai.org for the live streaming broadcast.
On Sunday February 14, 2010, from 6-7 p.m. KFAI Radio 90.3 FM (Minneapolis) and 106.7 (St. Paul) will air an exclusive segment on race relations and generational progress produced by Lennie Chism, Executive Director of Springboard Economic Development Corporation. Chism’s program, titled A Spoonful of Integration is Not Enough for the Rest of Us explores the Civil Rights Movement through music pinpointing cultural anthems such as “We Shall Overcome” to Tupac’s “Ghetto Gospel” as indications of change.
Chism says, “My motivation was to get people to critically look at the 1947 integration of baseball and begin to ask whether integration helped. I wanted to show how integration was not as successful as people thought. Thanks to integration, The Negro League was completely dismantled by 1963, blacks went from running leagues and teams to just being players. Jobs and industry were lost because of integration for blacks. Hence, A Spoonful of Integration is Not Enough for the Rest of Us,” Chism explains. Chism adds, “However when you look at the music industry, that has been dominated by African-Americans for years, with absolutely no desire to integrate, there are countless success stories, hip-hop culture did not bow down, sell out nor attempt to assimilate.”
Chism believes the struggle for Civil Rights continues in the current day hip-hop movement. “I chose to end the segment with Tupac because he is one of the greatest street lobbyists ever,” explains Chism. “He spoke of another culture that the establishment would want to see removed. But in reality that culture became an industry that is creating jobs and a new wealthy class of African-Americans.”
Chism hopes multiple generations tune in for the special program, special guests include Donald Allen editor in chief of two international read controversial blogs and Kelechi Jaavid, local comedian to lighten the air.
Donald Allen, a blogger, Republican and outspoken critic of Minneapolis’ political processes and non-profit watchdog as it relates to communities of color and the delivery of services states, “This is an opportunity to mention names, agencies and politicians who for the most part are more celebrity-based then actually making sure the community is healed. This is an opportunity to let America know that agencies like the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Minneapolis Urban League and the NAACP have lost their mojo.”
Tune in on Sunday, the revolution continues.
