Plum Fool

TBA is always attempting to do some research.  One thing I have been curious about, since this whole Umar Johnson-Frederick Douglass-Marcus Garvey nonexistent, pie-in-the-sky, never-going-to-come-to-fruition school nonsense is the fact that he is using names of people without the permission of the families. So, it seems that it's legitimate to ask if Umar Johnson has permissions from the families of Frederick Douglass and Marcus Garvey to use their family members' names to advance this whole misbegotten adventure. My guess would be no. We are all by now well aware of what the representatives of the family of Frederick Douglass thinks of Umar Johnson and this nonexistent, pie-in-the-sky, never-going-to-come-to-fruition school nonsense with which the name of Frederick Douglass is being used without the consent of the family. Now, I've never spoken with a member of the family of Marcus Garvey, so I can only imagine what they might say to Umar Johnson and this nonexis...

Most cities have properties that are zoned.  The purpose of zoning, as far as I can tell, is to designate the appropriate uses for a particular property. Properties that are zoned for light manufacturing or light industry are properties intended for specific industries including: Food industry Paper making Plastic Leather industry Textiles Wood Household electric appliances Wilmington, Delaware is no exception.  For instance, the St. Elizabeth High School in Wilmington, DE is zoned in a particular way.  The code is 26R-2 which seems to indicate one family semi-detached and detached property... ...perhaps like a school building. Okay. Now let's look at the property that Umar Johnson claims that he bought and has no mortgage. If you go to the New Castle County Delaware website and search for the following parcel numbers: Address Parcel Number 610 East 17th Street 2602940028 611 East 17th Street 2602940027 When you look for the informa...

Hacked

Image
If one knows anything about me, one would know that I follow a gentleman named Malcolm Nance .  I've read one of his books, listen to him when he's on television, and adopted some of his phraseology.  One of the Nance-ism that I've adopted is the idea that people's mindsets can be hacked, like someone can hack a computer. I believe this language can be applied to what Umar Johnson is doing or is attempting to do. Yes, I believe Umar Johnson has attempted to hack your mind, your thinking, and your ability to accept his lies and shenanigans and valid and factual. Want an example? Okay...here goes. Umar Johnson made a video ranting and raving about his so-called accomplishments.  One of the so-called accomplishments is purchasing a property. On the You Tube channel called The Black Mask Speaks , there is a video in which some is driving by the property Umar Johnson has supposedly purchased in February, 2019.  He talks about the state of the property and the...
