Des. Jackson, worse than he seems

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

When I lived in Chicago in the 60's I made a point to hear Mr. Jackson 3 times, including the opening of Black Christmas at the old Fuller Department Store on 47th and Cottage Grove. I admired him. Boy was I wrong. I figured that out for myself 40 years ago, but this book reminds me why and gives other stuff I didn't know. There are many great black leaders, and I still support all of them and all the gains of the still unfinished civil rights movement, but the three who for the last 25 years have most run after publicity, Farakan, Sharpton, and Jackson, are slime. Des. Jackson put himself first when he was supposed to be cooperating with MLK Jr., when he went to St. Louis and messed up the good, productive relationship the local NAACP had with white businesses. The list is long and Shakedown is just the right word for it. The press has white-washed (pardon the expression) his history and makes a big deal out of his calling NYC Hymietown. Actually that was mild, not even an insult in my opinion considering what had happened. He had been to NYC and the same Jewish donors who had supported him for years wouldn't give him any money. Why? Because 3 nights earlier he was with Yasser Arafat when Arafat wasn't yet pretending to want peace, when he was an open terrorist. Jackson was visiting him at the camp in Southern Lebanon from which he and his gang would raid Israel and kill anyone he could find, targeting women and children. That night, Des. Jackson hugged and kissed Arafat and danced around the campfire with him, apparently condoning the murder of Israelis. And then he went to NYC and wanted money from the cousins of the people Arafat murdered. What a jackass. But all the TV and other news remembers is the namby-pamby word Hymietown. -- Oh, and I'm not surprised his son went to jail. Like father, like son.

Compulsively Readable....

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

....could not put it down. I grew up worshipping 'Reverend' Jackson like a lot of people in my community. So reading this was painful and eye-opening. I had my doubts about his dealings but no proof or knowledge until I read this book. It would have been easy to cry racism but I know of several African-Americans who had the (mis)fortune of dealing with Jesse and they all pretty much confirmed the facts in Mr. Timmerman's book. It's difficult to find fault with those who are your heroes. But Shakedown is truly a revelation. I look at Jackson in an entirely different light today.

Marty

the real Jesse Jackson

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

I heard about this book when it was first published however I had no interest in reading it until I watched Jesse Jackson being interviewed on Larry King. When Jackson was asked about this book Jackson got quite an attitude about this book and refused to discuss it. That peaked my interest so I bought the book and read it. As it were the book was quite the page turner. I couldn't hardly put it down from wanting to know just what stunt, what get himself richer at others expenses schemes was he going to pull next. My main question was why was Jesse Jackson never charged with the way he "shookdown" corporations big and small, how he misappropriated monies he obtained from the government. Where was Jackson when MLK was assassinated? What about Jackson's poor, poor childhood? Why didn't MLK particularly like Jackson? Now if this book is a lie....why hasn't the author been sued for libel or slander. Seems to me the author has done his homework. Thank you.

One caveat, I am slowly working my way through this book, checking references carefully -- many of which are selectively based on news articles. Of particular interest are the pages on Noah Robinson, Jackson's half-brother. Currently, the veracity of Robinson's conviction has been and is being questioned now that witnesses have come forward to document his whereabouts and his actions that belie what has been written anywhere, for instance the distortion of his relationship to gangs. Unfortunately, AUSA Hogan and Judge Zagel have imprinted their handiwork with a life sentence without parole when the US Solicitor General in 2001 said 10 years was appropriate, and filing bars are permanently in place to prevent any innocence court claims. The truth is yet to be told about Noah's relationships, involvement in criminal activity, and his business profile. Reverend Jackson has also undergone some changes since this expose was published.

Jesse “Shakedown” Jackson

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

I always find it interesting that the ones that point fingers and cry racism are usually the ones that are the true racists. Love the way Mr. Timmerman calls a spade a spade. No pun intended. I can only hope that he writes a similar book about Al Sharpton and expose him for the man that he truly is.
