“Blacks for Trump” Leader Seen Behind Trump at Rallies Is a Former Member of a Murderous Cult

The Yahweh ben Yahweh cult was implicated in several gruesome murders in 1990
Politics • Views: 140,284

If you’ve watched a Trump rally in the past few weeks you may have noticed a group of people who seem to get prominently placed behind Trump in the stands quite often, holding signs that say “BLACKS FOR TRUMP,” with a link to the website “gods2​.com.”

If you go to the site, you’ll discover a rabbit hole of weird conspiracy theories and rabid hatred directed mostly at Hillary Clinton. But the Miami New Times has some more information about the leader of this group (seen above immediately to Trump’s right), Michael Symonette, aka Maurice Woodside — a former member of the violent, homicidal Yahweh ben Yahweh cult responsible for several gruesome killings: “Blacks for Trump” Supporter Is Former Yahweh Ben Yahweh Cult Member.

So who is this new face of Trump’s elusive black support? He’s none other than Michael the Black Man, also known as Maurice Woodside or Michael Symonette, who has made waves in Miami in recent years with protests against the Democratic Party and rallies for the GOP.

He’s also a former member of the murderous Yahweh ben Yahweh cult, which was led by the charismatic preacher Hulon Mitchell Jr., who was charged by the feds in 1990 with conspiracy in killings that included a gruesome beheading in the Everglades.

Michael, along with 15 other Yahweh followers, was charged for allegedly conspiring in two murders; his brother, who was also in the cult, told jurors that Michael had helped beat one man who was later killed and stuck a sharpened stick into another man’s eyeball. But jurors found Michael (and six other Yahweh followers) innocent. They sent Mitchell away for 20 years in the federal pen.

In the years that followed, he changed his last name to Symonette, made a career as a musician, started a radio station in Miami and then re-invented himself as Michael the Black Man, an anti-gay, anti-liberal preacher with a golden instinct for getting on TV at GOP events. He’s planned events with Rick Santorum and gotten cable news play for bashing Obama.

Remember, Trump himself attacked Hillary Clinton when the father of the Orlando nightclub shooter was seen sitting in the stands behind her at a rally, accusing her of deliberately placing him there for some nefarious reason. But here’s an unhinged conspiracy theory-promoting lunatic who has actually been implicated in violent crimes including murder (although never convicted), repeatedly given a very prominent place at Trump’s rallies (for political reasons that are pretty obvious, since Trump’s support among African Americans is underwater).

This group was at Trump’s rally again today, again given prominent placement right behind him — but this time, someone has blacked out the name of the bizarre conspiracy website from the sign. And just for bonus WTFs, the woman holding the sign is white.

In 1979, יהוה בן יהוה came to Miami and became the Spiritual Leader and Founder of The Nation of יהוה. Although He took a vow of poverty, in seven years He guided The Nation to amass a $250,000,000 empire. Under His direction, The Nation of יהוה has grown to encompass disciples, followers, and supporters in over 1,300 cities within the U.S. and 16 foreign countries.

Seems like a nice guy, that יהוה בן יהוה.

If the woman has shown up at more than one rally, with her sign, she might simply be a cult member. How integrated might this iteration of the group be?

I’m trying to think of what might be the Clinton-campaign equivalent (moonbat anti-vaxxers? animal-rights terrorists? I can’t even) and how the “MSM” would react if Hillary planted a bunch of sign-waving looney-tunes right behind her at a rally.
But then, according to Donald, media coverage is totally rigged, so there you go….

CuriousLurker  Oct 25, 2016 • 2:56:11pm

OT (sort of, still involves bad crazy/hate):

So I clicked on a link in my Google Alerts about a lawsuit being filed in Romania to stop the construction of a mosque (that had previously been approved). I get to the site and the article sounds drama-llama-ish in a moonbatty way, so my spidey sense immediately starts tingling. There was no entry for the site in Wikipedia, so I went to their About Us page which talked about climate change, unemployment, debt human rights, etc. Definitely left leaning, but still…

I noticed their tag cloud had American Imperialism in BIG letters. Warning bells started sounding, but still not wanting to jump to conclusions I decided to see if Israel was in the tag cloud. Yep, there it was, so I *click* and the title & excerpt of the first article screams:

Apartheid Israel Buries Serial War Criminal, Genocidal Racist And Nuclear Terrorist Shimon Peres

Genocidally racist Zionist, war criminal and nuclear terrorist Shimon Peres (1923-2016) has been buried in Apartheid Israel with leading pro-Zionists, war criminals and nuclear terrorists in attendance. Known as the Butcher of Qana for green-lighting a 2001 Israeli atrocity against the UN and civilians in Southern Lebanon, Shimon Peres was a stalwart in the ongoing racist Zionist Palestinian Genocide. Peres’ [Read More…]

Alrighty then, looks like I got my answer.

Um yeah, NO, I’m not gonna “read more.” Israel does stuff I don’t like, but that kind of swivel-eyed, spittle-flecked hysterical crap is WAY over the top—Gelleresque, in fact. The only other link to the story from a website I recognized was at the Gatestone Institute, so the opposite extreme. Ugh, not reading that one either.

*SIGH*

Interesting story about UK Apache: he’s actually a devout Muslim now and dedicated to preaching peace nowadays. He’s gone towards the 1977-era Cat Stevens route of eschewing music due to religious reasons, but I have a gut feeling he will eventually come around to it.

His interview with VICE was an eye-opener, and even to this day with his new direction he still commands the respect of many junglists worldwide.

That’s only because he’s on the ballot as the nominated Republican, which has a built-in automatic bottom floor of guaranteed mindless automatic votes.
Fortunately, he needs much MUCH more than that guaranteed vote count and Clinton/Kaine have the ground organization to address that.

OT: Took our ballots into the county seat to drop off, then on to the vet with the cat.

When we got to the vet, I realised I left my wallet at the county clerk’s office. The vet let me use the telephone to call the county clerk. After I identified myself, she said, “Oh, you’re the guy who drives a Smart and wears a hat?” (Every man in my county wears a hat - a cowboy hat, but I wear a trilby.)

She said she would take it over to the county sheriff’s office for me to pick up.

When we got back in our county, we stopped at the sheriff so I could get my wallet. The new receptionist looked at me and said, “Are you James? The clerk said to look for a guy wearing a hat.”

On Hardball he brought up the fact that BOTH parties tend to forget the middle class regular folks. He said both parties tend to be stuck in discussing pedigree. Sounds like Joe knows you can’t live your whole life in Washington DC…you have to get out and take a view of Fly Over Country.

He said the people in Washington don’t get the middle class built this country.

This Esquire article on the Russian hackers is pretty good:

Using cloud services such as OneDrive was a clever but risky move—it was a little like taking the bus to make off with stolen goods from a burglary. Though the widespread use of the services by legitimate users offered a degree of cover for the hackers, data provided by Microsoft also helped America’s elite digital spies identify the DNC intruders “with confidence” as Russian. It is even possible that the U. S. government has been able to identify the names and personal details of individual operators. The Russians knew they’d been caught. On July 30, an FSB press release announced that twenty government and defense organizations had been hit by high-powered spying tools.

Today the Chicago Tribune has an editorial in favor of the AT&T/Time Warner merger. I just sent them the following letter in response:

Has the Chicago Tribune ever met a mega-merger it did not publish an editorial in support of?

First, you came out in favor of AT&T buying T-Mobile. Fortunately, federal regulators failed to see upside for consumers in consolidating the cellular market. As a result, T-Mobile has been able to continue life as an industry disruptor. benefiting millions of cell phone users in the process.

Next, you supported Comcast’s desire to purchase Time Warner Cable. In this case, Comcast was hit with such a tidal wave of customer service disaster stories it pulled the plug on the merger before it could be further humiliated by regulators. Comcast continues to torture its own customers, but at least they were unable to achieve their dream of a near broadband monopoly.

Now you are cheerleading for AT&T to be permitted to buy Time Warner. Forgive me for being dubious that a combined company wouldn’t favor its own content for its 25+ million TV subscribers in an effort to strangle competition the way Comcast does with business news outlets that attempt to compete with its own CNBC.

This history of mega-mergers has taught students of business one thing: nobody ever benefits aside from the shareholders of the company being purchased. Hopefully your recent record of supporting failed mergers will remain intact.

Today’s Tribune also has an obnoxious Cal Thomas column on the recent “Project Veritas” tapes that includes not a single cautionary word on O’Keefe.

On the upside, there is also a long story about soon-to-be-ex Senator Mark Kirk’s failure to provide medical records indicating he is healthy enough to continue in his job. Hopefully he can make it until January. His services will not be required after that.

I thought that under MLB rules, the local broadcast rights-holder on the radio side could still cover the game. It’s not on 670?

There are no television stations within range of my house, and no cable service available. I suppose I could get satellite service, but the cost is so prohibitive (not to mention having someone come 140 miles out to my house to install it) that it is not worth it.

When the analogue stations went off the air, they were not replaced in the area by digital ones (too expensive for the dearth of people). Essentially, eliminating analogue television service eliminated all television here.

Ugh

A refugee from Kenya killed one former co-worker, wounded three others and then killed himself Tuesday in a workplace shooting that authorities are still trying to unravel in Virginia, police said.

Getachew Fekede, 53, had entered the U.S. through a refugee immigration program and worked for the railcar manufacturer FreightCar America before being fired in March when he stopped showing up for work, Roanoke Police Chief Tim Jones told reporters.

A neighbor told the Associated Press that Fekede quit his job over being harassed by a co-worker. Clarence Jones said Fedeke would send money to his mother back in Kenya and had grown concerned about his finances.

Making it abundantly clear with which political party these groups align… They go away with the Republicans in power.

Megyn Kelley sniping with Newt Gingrich on Fox. It’s actually kind of entertaining.

re: #286 Belafon

My 11 year old is attempting to program Pac-Man on scratch.mit.edu. And by attempt is he’s created a Pac-Man figure you can move around with keyboard buttons, has looked up the strategies on how to properly code the ghosts - not actual Scratch code, just how they behave - and is having to deal with the limitation that the only collision mechanism he has is “is touching color.”

I’ve got to figure out how to get him into a more powerful environment for development. Previously, he wrote a simple calculator that also handled comparisons in Scratch, and a paint program in Tynker.

I did something like that years ago on my school’s computer. When I recreated the project a few years ago, I wrestled with the same things your son did. I don’t know Scratch, but can one detect collisions by color? Any chance of keeping track of the X-Y coordinates of each object? I really don’t need or want to destroy your son’s creative process, just dropping a few hints.
