Jesse Jackson's reputation destroyed by the honest truth!
This is an excellent book, one which should be on the shelf of every American home and which should be taught in every school. It sheds light on how an immoral, hate-filled man can manipulate the U.S. political system for his own gain. Once released, Timmerman's book "Shakedown" instantly shot to the top of the Amazon.com sales list, and rightfully so. Many Americans have long suspected that Jesse Jackson was not just the glib, rotund, 'rhyming 'n' rapping' religious figure and civil rights activist he tries to portray himself as. Timmerman shows that Jackson has long used the mantle of civil rights to camouflage his own fraudulent schemes and to distract public attention from his scandals. In the process, Timmerman also shows how the Democratic Party enabled and cheered Jackson on, using him as a racial attack dog for their own corrupt ends. This is a truly fascinating book, and is well worth both the price and the time required to read it.
As A Black man, I've always been disgusted by the hypocritical, racist antics of Jesse Jackson Sr. Unmistakably, this vicious scam artist has done more to set back race relations in the United States than the KKK ever dreamed of. Kenneth Timmerman finally shines the light of truth and clarity on this scheming, conniving con man, and meticulously details his numerous, unbelievable crimes and outrages. Timmerman has extensively footnoted and verified his research, so there will be no way Jesse Jackson or the usual Democratic Party character assassins can deny this, although they'll try. The most pressing question I had after reading Timmerman's factual reporting was, "Why on Earth isn't Jesse Jackson now serving a 'natural-life' sentence in prison somewhere, for multiple convictions on extortion, racketeering, fraud and tax evasion charges?" Hopefully, the U.S. Justice Department will read this book as well and feel compelled to finally indict Jackson. As Timmerman clearly shows in Chapters 2 through 8, there's plenty there for the Feds to go after.
Timmerman gets it all absolutely correct. Jackson has supported the insane idea of reparations for Blacks, has been a cheerleader for Black crime, has thrown tantrums whenever a Black person was mistreated, but completely ignored numerous events where Blacks injured or killed Whites. He has extorted various US businesses, incited riots, and has done everything except backflips to get his face on television at every conceivable opportunity. He "counseled" Bill Clinton on adultery while his pregnant mistress sat outside the Oval Office.
I hope Timmerman is prepared for the attempts the extremist Left will make to ruin his career and destroy him personally. They simply can't stand up to the stark reality which Timmerman lays out in his book. Kenneth Timmerman has done us all a valuable service by showing us the truth. I predict that this book will be a profitable best-seller for Amazon.com, as well as a text that will be cited and quoted for years to come. There's not much new in this book, as Rush Limbaugh, black columnist Walter Williams, and black radio host Larry Elder have been commenting on Jesse Jackson's misdeeds and lies for years. However, nobody else has come close to presenting the truth about Jackson so clearly, convincingly, and succinctly as Timmerman. It's a definite "gotta have" - buy it today at Amazon.com. You won't be able to put it down. Highly recommended!
