Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known worldwide as the South's foremost conservative populist radio program.
April is Confederate Heritage and History Month, and here at the Political Cesspool, we're doing our part to bring you the best guests and interviews to raise the public's awareness.
Stand by now for another great installment of the Political Cesspool.
And here's your host, James Edwards.
Welcome, everyone, to another live installment of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
It is Saturday, April 25th, 2009.
This will be our last broadcast of the month, which means it will be our last broadcast for Confederate History Month this year.
It's been a great series of programs here in the Political Cesspool this April, and it will culminate this evening with our featured guest during the third hour, Michael Andrew Grissom, who is a very, very revered and renowned Southern author.
He literally wrote the book.
It was a runaway mega seller.
Michael Andrew Grissom, author of the book Southern by the Grace of God.
He has also written the books The Last Rebel Yell and Can the South Survive.
And out of all of the guests we've had over the years during our Confederate History Month series, I would be hard pressed to name one that I enjoy interviewing more, the Michael Andrew Grissom.
So Michael Andrew Grissom will be our guest this evening in tonight's third hour.
Welcome again to the program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
Joined in studio tonight by Winston Smith here in AM 1380, WLRM Radio in Memphis, and of course going out to our affiliate stations and satellite and internet connections brought to you courtesy of the Liberty News Radio Network.
Now, typically during a week, I confer with the other members of the hosting staff and production crew to iron out no later than Friday the guests we're going to have on each program and what we intend to discuss during each segment of the show.
Unfortunately, an event was brought to our attention yesterday that pretty much scuttled what we had had planned to talk about during the first half hour of tonight's broadcast.
That event was the arrest of Representative David Duke in Prague, the Czech Republic.
And I read now from a news release that came out just yesterday, and we were right on top of this, getting in touch with our contacts to find out exactly what was going on.
But we'll get into the details of that in just a moment and let you know exactly what has manifested itself.
But this is the original report issued out of the Czech Republic.
The Czech police arrested David Duke, and they write, of course, I'm reading verbatim here, former leader of the Ku Klux Klan racist movement.
And it, of course, doesn't mention the fact that he was a Louisiana representative or that he has since then earned his PhD in Prague today on suspicion of promotion of movements seeking the suppression of human rights.
Arriving in the Czech Republic at the invitation of a local neo-Nazi group, the report reads, Duke was to give lectures in Prague.
Duke, a U.S. citizen, is suspected of denying the Nazi genocide and other Nazi crimes.
This crime is punishable by up to three years in prison in the Czech Republic.
Never mind the fact that if you find a man's views to be repugnant, and of course David Duke doesn't even express views like this, nor does he consort with so-called neo-Nazis.
But even if you disagree with a man's viewpoint, even if you find it to be atrocious, do you mean, should we be advocating for the imprisonment for up to three years for people expressing unfashionable views?
Nevertheless, Czech lawyer Clara Kalibova said some passages of David Duke's book can be interpreted as an effort at challenging the Holocaust.
And God forbid that.
Czech police are reportedly focusing on the book itself as well, which is, of course, his 1998 release, My Awakening.
The story concludes by saying Duke was to give three lectures in the Czech Republic.
The first was to take place at Prague's Charles University.
Some Czech politicians assessed David Duke's visit negatively.
Human rights and minorities minister Michael Kolkab was going on record issuing a disapproving stand of Duke's visit to the Czech Republic.
Anyway, long story short, here's what happened.
David Duke was arrested yesterday.
He was stormed before he could give his speech by 30 armed policemen, detained overnight.
It was not known if he was going to be kept there indefinitely, as they have done with people such as Ernst Zundel.
The crime, the crime of speaking out on politically incorrect issues in the Czech Republic, or in other words, issuing a point of view that doesn't coincide with that of the cultural Marxists in Prague, is punishable by up to three years in prison, three years in jail, for really using common sense and speaking out candidly about sensitive issues.
Duke was released today.
The charges are still pending.
The charges are still pending, but he has been released and deported back to his home in the Ukraine.
So we're going to get to that in a moment.
Well, before I bring Winston in, I'll just read this release from Yahoo News.
It says a former U.S. Ku Klux Klan chief was arrested in Prague while on a speaking tour, was freed during the night, but forced to leave the country today.
David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Louisiana-founded Knights of the KKK, arrived in Prague on Friday at the invitation of a local group.
It says he was arrested Friday afternoon in Prague's old town and questioned for several hours on suspicion of promoting movements seeking to suppress human rights, police said.
His book contains passages denying the Holocaust, a crime punishable by up to three years in prison, as we've just mentioned.
Duke's lawyer has gone on record as saying she will lodge a complaint against the Prague police.
Okay, that's the story.
Winston, what do you make of it?
Winston, are you with us?
Hello?
Okay, apparently still waiting on Winston.
We must have a connection problem there, technical difficulties.
I'll go ahead and say this.
I talked to David Duke today on the phone, just a few minutes ago.
The fact that something like this could be allowed.
Now, I know in are you there, Winston?
Well, I can hear you on the phone.
I can't hear myself at all.
But I talked with David just a few minutes ago, just before showtime.
He is going to come on the program.
Are you there, Winston?
Can you hear me?
Yes, I hear you now.
Go ahead and give us your take on what's happening.
I'm hearing myself on Skype.
Well, I hear you fine.
Go ahead, Winston.
I'm hearing myself on Skype.
All right, anyway, we'll just bring Winston in in the next segment.
I've got to move on here.
No, not at all.
I talked to David a few minutes ago before the program this evening, and he's doing well.
He's in good spirits, but he did want me to convey to the audience that the charges are still pending.
He wants people to visit his website for the latest news.
You can go to daviduke.com for that.
But what I was saying a moment ago, it should really, I mean, even if you are a far-left, leftist, you know, secular anarchist, it should concern you that people with viewpoints other than that of your own could be imprisoned and detained without cause, so on and so forth.
Now, I know in European countries, they don't have freedom of speech laws per se like we do.
Well, even ours are hanging on by a thread, you know, with the hate crimes bill pending in Congress right now.
So we might not have freedom of speech much longer here in America.
But, you know, in Europe, obviously, they can detain members of those countries, citizens of those countries, for speaking out against the regime.
But I believe this could have been a precedent being set here where an American citizen like Representative Duke being detained for something as benign as this.
In fact, arrested.
And again, the charges, I must stress again, are still pending.
But David was in good spirits.
Actually, woke him up by calling him this evening.
And he will be with us next week live to address this matter personally.
David Duke will be a live guest on this show next week.
But I don't really know what the intent was here.
Was it to set a message, send a message that if you speak out against the things that the secular humanists, the communists, the Marxists, the Zionists don't want you to talk about, that this could happen to you?
Or were they testing the waters perhaps to see if they could get away with imprisoning for years dissidents, political dissidents?
And here's what David had to say on his own website.
He said, and I'm reading the words of David Duke right now, the outrage by so many Czech citizens and even many in the media after my arrest led the government to release me from my cell in the wee hours of the morning.
After about three hours' sleep, I now write these words to you.
These charges, of course, from the beginning are specious.
I was invited to the Czech Republic originally to speak at one of the oldest and most famous universities in Europe, Charles University in Prague.
It is also famous for being founded by heroic Czechs like Juan Hus, who stood up and told the truth and believed that truth in its pursuit is the most important thing a man can do in his life, even if it cost him his life and freedom.
This is the man who is the national hero of the Czech people.
We'll be back with more right after this.
Away!
There's more Political Sesspool coming your way right after these messages.
To get on the Political Sesspool, call...
Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, welcome back to the show, everyone.
I apologize for the ill-prepared first segment there.
We're having some technical difficulties connecting with co-host Winston Smith, who had a little bit more information about the arrest and political persecution of Representative David Duke in Prague, Czech Republic, this weekend than I did.
Winston is not in the studio tonight.
He's calling in via Skype.
having just some small technical difficulties.
We'll hope to be joined by Winston in just a moment.
But continuing on with David Duke in his own words, here's what he said against the allegations that he had been detained, in fact, arrested for giving lectures that were to suppress, support movements that would suppress human rights of minorities in Prague and also to give lectures denying the Nazi genocide in World War II Germany.
And here is what David writes.
My lectures, and I quote, in the Czech Republic were not on the subject of the Holocaust at all.
In fact, while all the constant attention on this subject by the media, when one considers the fact that Bolshevism killed, tortured, and harmed tens of millions of more people, I never speak out about the Holocaust in Europe other than to say that it is a human rights outrage that people are imprisoned for simply having a differing opinion about a historical event.
And I think we can all agree with that.
David Duke continues by saying, I was going to lecture about the Israeli influence over American and European foreign policy and the international Zionist banking firms that are lending America and the world to financial oblivion, globalist hegemony, and unending war.
And he was also going to speak about the looming catastrophic war with Iran and some other contemporary political issues, such as the issues we talk about on this program.
So again, I only bring this up because it is scary to consider the fact that people with political opinions and beliefs that differ against the ruling elite could be recipients of this sort of treatment.
And also, because loyalty and solidarity are traits that you really don't find much of in this day and age, I felt it prudent to raise awareness as to what had befallen Representative Duke by making mention of it on this show tonight because he is, in fact, a friend of mine.
I've known David for seven years.
I speak with him regularly.
He's been a guest in my home.
We've organized conferences together, and I have never heard the man say anything in private that he wouldn't say in public or that I would be ashamed to have mentioned on this program, which is basically something that I hold a great amount of respect for.
I mean, this show is my livelihood.
And I certainly wouldn't advocate or publicize anything on this program that I think would get us into hot water.
But David Duke is a guy that I have a lot of respect for.
And because of that, I want to bring to your attention that which has befallen him.
So anyway, long story short, if you want more information, you can go to daviduke.com and get it there.
You know, if it can happen over there, there is no invisible force field that is protecting the borders.
Well, God knows there's not much protection of our borders these days, but that's a different story.
But there's nothing here that really keeps America immune from the Orwellian so-called hate speech laws that have really manifested themselves in all of the other first world countries of Europe and Canada and Australia and so on and so forth.
In fact, America is really the only country left in the world of first world origin, of European origin, that doesn't have these draconian laws that can throw people into jail.
For, I say, a dissident point of view, I think that which we advocate on this program would probably be echoed by most blue-collar Republican, hard-working Americans.
I think what we advocate on this show is right for all Americans, for that matter, regardless of creed or ethnic background.
But that being the case, the fact that people can be imprisoned for saying things that the ruling elite, that the governments don't like, we have got to put a stop to that.
And because of that, we should rally in the defense of a man like David Duke.
Winston, have you joined us yet?
Okay, apparently not.
Continuing on, we know what is a crime, apparently.
What is a crime is speaking out on matters that we're told we're not supposed to talk about.
Just ask Duke about that.
But apparently, what's not a crime is illegal immigration, at least according to Janet Napolitano, which is, of course, Obama's head of the Department of Homeland Security.
She actually said that on national TV just last week, that illegal immigration is not a crime.
And I read now, and of course, now I want to say again, and I say it every show: every matter that we bring to your attention on this program, every story, every comment, every guest, every interview, it's all everything we say is documented with mainstream, I should say, mainstream documentation, all of it referenced and available to you on our blog.
So when we bring these sometimes incredible stories to your attention, it should be known that we document everything with links and references, and you can study more or get more information by going to our blog at thepolitical cesspool.org.
But Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano stunned many listeners during an appearance on CNN when she asserted that illegal immigration is really not a crime.
It's not a crime.
Speaking out, you know, against the contents of 1984, that's a crime.
But this, you know, illegal immigration, you know, even though it's a felony, it's not a crime.
In an interview with CNN's John King last week, Napolitano discussed Sheriff Joe Arpeo of Maricopa County, Arizona, strict enforcer of immigration laws, who says he wants illegal aliens to be prosecuted and jailed, which I think we can all agree with.
John King of CNN said, quote, a lot of Democrats in Congress want you to investigate this guy.
Investigate a sheriff who's actually trying to uphold the rule of law.
They think he's over the line in saying that lawbreakers should be prosecuted.
He says he's just enforcing the law and the problem is the federal government, end quote.
Napolitano responded, quote, Sheriff Joe knows there aren't enough law enforcement officers, courtrooms, or jail cells in the world to do what he's saying.
So I guess since so many people are breaking the law, we should just make it legal, right?
Well, that's what our own government is saying we should do.
But the fact is, so Napolitano said, matter-of-factly, point blank on national TV, that illegal immigration is really not a crime.
But the fact is, crossing the border without authorization is a crime.
It is not only a crime, but a felony.
The statute reads, quote, any alien, this is the law I'm reading from now, our own law.
See, isn't it amazing that we have become so immersed in political correctness that we can pick and choose which laws we want to enforce?
And we can even make up laws that don't even exist as long as it satisfies the cultural Marxists.
Here's what the law reads, though, with regards to illegal immigration.
Quote, any alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under Title 18 or imprisoned not more than six months or both.
Okay?
So you catch an illegal alien, he's coming in, he's breaking the law.
He's supposed to be at least fined, if not sentenced to up to six months in jail.
That's the law.
Okay?
That is the law.
But we don't enforce that.
That's not enforceable.
In fact, you know, not only is it against the law, you know, listen, here's what I'm saying.
You know, if you don't like the law, change the law.
I would be against the changing of that law, but I mean, that's at least what they should be doing.
But what our own federal government is doing, our criminally corrupt federal government, what they're doing is, even though it's on the books as a law, they are just absolutely arbitrarily saying they will not enforce it.
Now, I wonder if you or me said, well, there's some other laws we don't like.
We don't like the income tax laws.
So we're going to behave as you do.
You pick and choose which laws you're going to enforce.
We're going to pick and choose which laws we're going to abide by.
We are not going to pay any more income tax.
I wonder if, you know, how well that would go over with Obama and these criminally corrupt thugs.
Oh, my blood pressure's raising.
I don't want to say a cuss word on the air, that's for sure.
So I'm not going to do it.
I'm just going to back off here.
But it just, man, I see the kind of treatment that patriots get, that God-fearing Christian conservatives get into.
Political Cesspool, guys.
We'll be back.
Well, we're just going to have to take a break.
And express your opinion in the political says pool.
Call us toll free at 1-866-986-6397.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool Radio Program, our award-winning show coming to you live from Memphis, Tennessee, this evening.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
You know, we try to prove on every program that we are, as we say so often, live, unrehearsed, and uncensored.
And I truly believe that you'll understand that we are live and unrehearsed.
And that is apparent in our sometimes follies with some of the technical connections that you have to have in a big radio production such as our own.
But we're continuing on now in this third segment of the evening.
Am I joined?
I would say I'm joined by Keith Alexander and Winston Smith, but I got to make sure of that.
Keith and Winston, are you there?
I'm here.
Keith.
I'm here.
Hello, Keith Winston.
Keith is here.
Okay, we have Keith Alexander.
Do we have Winston?
Winston's here.
Okay, Winston, we have everyone now.
Okay, well, that's good to know.
I'll tell you what, Winston, I know you had some commentary pertaining to the situation that we were talking about at the top of the program regarding David Duke and his arrest.
We will get to that during the second hour.
We'll make time for everything tonight.
But I'm glad that you are, in fact, with us now.
Better late than never.
Keith, good to have you.
You know, folks, we are trying to introduce a weekly segment to the program now entitled Behind Enemy Lines with Keith Alexander.
And even though Keith isn't a member of the regular hosting staff, he is a very loyal confidant here in the Memphis area and a star correspondent.
And Keith has been doing some research about an organization that we mentioned in passing on last week's show called NACA.
And this will, I think, draw some parallels to that which we were talking about at the top of the show with the David Duke situation.
Look at how organizations that are on the left side of the political spectrum are able to conduct themselves and not only conduct themselves, but what they are able to print in their own literature that they pass out at leadership, excuse me, membership recruitment seminars.
Keith, what do we know about NACA and what does NACA stand for?
Well, NACA is an affiliate group with ACORN, the infamous Acorn that we've heard about.
It stands for Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America.
Now these are the people that are responsible basically for the financial meltdown that we've been experiencing not only in the United States but worldwide.
Remember the thing that set the whole meltdown off was the problems encountered by default, high default rates by minorities who had been given mortgage loans to buy homes under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.
And these loans, what they call toxic mortgages, were bundled together in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are two U.S. government-sanctioned organizations that supposedly regulate the mortgage market.
And they have what they call securitized, in other words, made into securities these bundles of mortgages, which they found a ready market for among the Chinese and a lot of other foreigners.
So consequently, they had the whole game going for a while.
This really got underway under the Clinton administration.
We were selling these things, and then the chickens came home to roost.
The minorities, as any prudent banker or businessman would have predicted, started defaulting wholesale on these mortgages, and the securities that the buyers thought were as good as gold, particularly the Chinese, since they were backed by real estate, started to be, you know, not producing income and causing problems.
They were having defaults.
Well, NACA, the National Assistance Corporation of America, was an NGO, non-governmental organization that basically lobbied, demonstrated through Hussy Fitz and everything else at banks and mortgage companies that would go out and picket the home of the CEO of the bank, for example,
trying to force these banks to make more loans in ghetto areas and on ghetto properties.
And this group, one of our, you know, we're behind the lines.
So we got one of our deep cover operatives to go to a NACA membership meeting here recently.
And it is incredible what was said, and furthermore, what was put on the printed page and handed out to the people that they were recruiting to get these, you know, Community Reinvestment Act loans.
In other words, loans that these people couldn't get under normal banking procedures so they could buy homes.
All right, Keith, hold up right there.
I want to bring this back full circle, just recap what we've learned so far.
Basically, what NACA is, is an organization, through intimidation and thuggery, they're able to get loans for minorities that wouldn't be approved for loans under normal circumstances, meaning they don't make enough money or they have such poor credit that they wouldn't be afforded a loan based on normal standards of measurement.
And through tactics such as going to the CEO of certain banks' homes by going through going to the places of business here with their membership, and basically what they do, as we learned from our correspondent, are operative, as you said.
They get pictures of the bank managers of the lenders.
They put a bullseye around their head.
They label them a terrorist.
And they let it be known that this man or woman is engaging in acts of economic terrorism against minorities for not giving them loans for which they don't deserve.
They pass it all around town.
The media loves this kind of stuff because they're going to bat for economic justice for the people who don't deserve loans.
Basically, NACA's been a player in the financial meltdown of our society because they are advocating and getting loans for people who basically are deadbeats and never pay it back.
But what did we learn inside the meeting?
What is on their printed paper, Keith?
Well, here, basically what they've done is they have, in typical liberal left-wing fashion, they politicized the lending business, particularly for real estate mortgages.
And in order to be eligible for NACA's loans, the ones that they are able to extort out of these banks and mortgage companies, you have to basically say that you will participate in their program.
And let me read you some of the participation requirements.
This is general eligibility.
It says, the participant, you have to participate in at least five acts.
If you want a loan, if you want to get one of these preferential loans, you have to participate in at least five actions and activities a year in support of NACA's mission.
Their mission, of course, is to get loans to minorities.
Many people say NACA programs sound too good to be true.
It is reality through the active participation of NACA's huge membership.
Every member is encouraged to contribute their unique skills to NACA and its mission.
There are numerous activities to take part in, including participating in demonstrations and sometimes actions of civil disobedience.
Okay, hold up right there.
Hold up right there.
So this organization, in order to be a member, you don't have to pay a membership fee.
You don't have to pay anything at all.
You have to participate in five acts of membership each year for the duration of your loans.
If you get a 30-year fixed loan, you've got to participate in five acts a year supporting NACA's membership, supporting NACA's mission statement for 30 years, five participations over the course of 30 years.
One of which, as they say in their own membership recruitment literature, could be, you could be asked to participate in demonstrations of civil disobedience.
Could you imagine if the Political Sessible Radio program said, everyone who listens to our program, everyone who visits our website, we're going to ask you to participate in acts of civil disobedience, which, of course, as we all know means illegal actions, illegal acts of illegality.
Could you imagine what would happen to us, Keith?
I mean, my God, what would they say?
But it's okay.
Not only is it okay, I mean, this is a very lavishly funded organization.
You know, some banks, such as Fleet, for instance, have given them billions of dollars to loan out that money to the people that the banks rejected with.
What has happened, I think, is that a lot of banks and mortgage lending institutions have learned that if you can't beat them, join them.
They have become advocates.
They have become willing participants in this.
And a lot of these banks, like Washington Mutual over on the left coast in California, went bankrupt as a result of making these type of loans.
Bank of America is on thin ice because of these type of loans.
There are all sorts of mortgage companies.
And I want to talk a little bit more about these loans.
It's not just any loans that these bad credit, no-income people are receiving.
They receive a loan that entitles them to a 4% fixed interest rate, 4%, guys, okay?
Zero money down.
They don't have to pay anything down to get a house.
They get 4% fixed interest rate.
And if they have any money saved up, they can pay their interest rate down to zero.
Now, Keith, we would never get a loan like that.
We'll talk more about it right after this.
Okay.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
Jump in the political cesspool with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
We're rolling through this show on two wheels tonight.
We're doing the best we can.
Thank you for being with us here this evening.
I'm your host, James Edwards, joined in studio now by Keith Alexander and Winston Smith.
During the first half hour, we talked about the arrest of David Duke.
We're going to revisit that during the second hour and then hopefully be joined by David Duke himself next week.
He does want to come on the show and let you know exactly what happened.
And basically, the reason we bring it to your attention, well, one of the reasons is to just accentuate the egregious double standards that exist out there.
And with that being the case, we want to, in this segment with Keith Alexander, behind enemy lines, give you a contrast with how organizations of the left are able to act.
They are able to, through intimidation and almost basically terrorist actions going around in the neighborhoods of bank lenders and mortgage agents and pass out leaflets saying that these people engage in acts of economic terrorism against minorities if they don't give minorities loans that they don't deserve.
I mean, and then in their own literature, advertise the fact very publicly that you will be asked to participate in actions of civil disobedience if you want to get one of these loans, one of these loans that you have to pay $0 down, 4% fixed interest rate with the ability to buy it down to 0%.
You get a great loan up to $200,000.
So on and so forth.
Keith, could you go into a bank and get a loan at 0% interest, zero down for a $200,000 house, you think?
Of course not.
What they're doing, James, is in the best tradition of the left, starting with the civil rights movement and beyond, they're politicizing a business decision or a governmental decision or a judicial decision that is supposed to be immune from politics.
You know, banks aren't supposed to be making loans on the basis of political pressure.
They're supposed to be making loans to people on the basis of that person's credit worthiness.
All the stockholders and indeed all of the depositors of a bank depend on banks making sound business decisions.
Otherwise, they put everybody's money in jeopardy.
And that's what groups like NACA and the left and ACORN have managed to do.
And you see what the results are.
We have this financial crisis not only in the United States, but in the world now, largely because of financial problems that were created under this minority lending program that NACA is still involved in.
They first pressured banks and mortgage companies into making the loans.
Now that foreclosures are beginning to happen because these loans aren't being repaid.
NACA is involved in acts of civil disobedience.
They're having people there, they are advising people that are in these homes, that can't pay their loans or are not paying their loans, not to move out, to make the police and others carry them out with the cameras rolling.
These are the types of acts of civil disobedience, among others, including advocating for legislation and things like this, that they want to be able to call upon you to do at least five times a year if you're the beneficiary of one of these loans.
And these illegal acts, these actions that they engage in in order to, these means to an end, by any means necessary, as they always say, are effective.
You know, we try to do things as conservatives, as Christians, we try to do things legally and buy the book, and it seems as though we're always trampled on.
And then you've got organizations like this who are lavishly funded, who break the law, and they are rewarded by having their agenda met.
And I tell you, Keith, you know, and if you, you know, we're not making this stuff up.
We've got the literature that they passed out.
Our man inside the room there last week and doing this undercover report for the political cesspool saw the video presentation where they show what Keith just described, these people going into these banks, doing sit-ins, passing out slanderous material, libelous material in the neighborhoods of these lending agents that they don't like.
This is what they're doing.
And here's my question, Keith, you know, because I have to admit, and I'm a guy that's pretty politically astute.
I know a lot of things.
I keep my ear to the ground.
I had never heard of NACA until last week.
And I'm wondering how many people are unaware that this organization exists and what they're able to accomplish by doing extra-legal acts such as the ones we're describing tonight.
Not many people know about them.
Well, you know, not very many people knew about ACORN until the Obama run-up to the last presidential election.
ACORN is this kind of umbrella group, associated community organizations for reform now.
And NACA or NACA is affiliated with them.
There are all sorts in Memphis, for example, we have the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center.
A group, by the way, which said they were going to burn down a hotel if David Duke was allowed to spend the night there.
A group that had their members call and say they were going to kill the family of the general manager if David Duke was allowed to spend the night at their hotel.
These are the kind of groups we're talking about.
And these are the kind of groups that gets treated with kid gloves by the media as being advocates of equality.
Whereas people like us who advocate, I guess, political beliefs that would have been endorsed or echoed by the founding fathers, we're labeled as the ones that are potential domestic terrorists by the Department of Homeland Security.
It couldn't be more backward.
Well, see, ACORN, NACA, and groups like this are now getting federal funds.
If you'll recall, there was some outcry when in this new super budget that the Obama administration submitted to Congress and had them sign off on before they could even read the bill, ACORN was to get millions and even billions of dollars.
And I'm sure that some of that money will find its way to NACA.
And basically what they're trying to do, they endorse what are called liar loans in the mortgage business.
In other words, if you or I went into a bank and wanted to get a loan to buy a house, we'd have to verify our income.
They're saying that for these minorities, the banks and the lending companies aren't justified in asking for verification of income.
Well, it's called stated income, as you know, Keith.
And we did a story a couple of months ago on the political cesspool where two Mexican bus drivers in some western state, I can't remember exactly what state it was, but they're being foreclosed upon because they got a loan for an $800,000 home, an $800,000 home when they both make away a bus driver's wage, which let's face it, it's good, honest work, but it's not going to pay a million-dollar home mortgage.
And they were getting foreclosed and they asked Obama to save them.
This is what we're talking about.
Yeah, they have, you know, they have these mortgage brokers now who have no skin in the game.
They're paid for producing people that qualify under this Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.
In other words, minorities.
All the banks are pressured to show that they have a certain number of minority loans, depending on where they're located and what the minority population is in their vicinity.
So they get these brokers to do it, and the brokers tell them, hey, you're supposed to say you make $100,000 a year.
Well, that's what they put down on their application.
And the banks and the mortgage companies are prohibited from inquiring further.
They just take these people at their word.
That's why they call them liar loans.
Well, Keith, we've got about, I don't want to end this abruptly.
I want to give you the time to bring this to summation.
I mean, we're trying, it's just such a, you know, if people have never heard of this thing before, you're going to be hard pressed to give them all the dastardly details in a short, you know, two-segment interview.
But we've got about two minutes before we've got to let you go, Keith.
How can we bring this into summation and let people know, you know, perhaps what they can do to combat organizations such as this with the time we have remaining?
Well, you need to understand, first of all, the head of NACA nationally is a gentleman named Bruce Marks, M-A-R-K-S.
I'm sure at some point in the family history, it was probably spelt M-A-R-X.
On the local public access channel, they had two people that were the heads of NACA in Memphis being interviewed by Steve Cohen, who is our congressman from this district.
Mr. Cohen, you would thought that he was describing the Salvation Army, the way he was treating this group as if they were these great exemplars and freedom fighters for justice, truth, and equality.
And, you know, all this negativity that they're involved in, all of this pressure and their culpability and their responsibility for this financial meltdown is totally ignored in the mainstream media.
Well, that's the way it is.
The double standards are blatant.
They're flagrant.
And there's not a shortage of them.
Keith, we're going to have to have you back to revisit this perhaps next week in your next segment.
I think we've accomplished something great here in at least letting people know that this organization is out there and this is how it is allowed to operate compared and contrast to that of a man like David Duke who after countless interviews on this program has never once advocated violence, has never once advocated anything that would be extra-legal.
And then, you know, this is the guy that gets thrown in jail for politically incorrect speech.
It's a sad world, Keith.
I tell you, this is a very, very sick country.
And we've got to go to break.
But Keith, I appreciate you, buddy.
We'll talk to you next week.
Thanks for giving us the lowdown on NACA.
If it wasn't for this show, people probably wouldn't even know it was out there.
We'll be back with more when the political cesspool returns right after this on the Liberty News Radio Network.
One hour down and two to go.
Stay tuned.
Hour number two of the political cesspool comes your way right after these messages.
Well, Harv hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon, and Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his proven loons.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the squirrel ran out of his preaching leg, unobserved, to the other side of the room.
