Another day, another BLM leader gets busted for embezzling money meant to save ‘black lives’. At this point it happens so often that hardly anyone pays attention.
Still the size of this BLM thievery is pretty big. As is the size of the alleged thief.
Rev. Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson apparently identifies as a “black, queer, gender-fluid, fat, associate pastor” and uses the pronoun “they” as in “they stole a lot of money.” Beyond her BLM role, she’s listed as having co-founded the Oklahoma City chapter of the National Organization of Women (NOW) and Women’s March Oklahoma, and serving on the national board of the Women’s March. So she, sorry, they, has serious progressive credit. And that makes this story hit all the harder.
The head of a Black Lives Matter group in Oklahoma City faces 25 counts of wire fraud and money laundering based on a federal grand jury indictment, the Justice Department said Thursday.
Authorities said Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, who served as executive director of the group since at least 2016, embezzled funds for her own benefit. She deposited at least several million dollars into personal accounts rather than into the organization’s accounts, they said.
The BLM organization, which was not registered as tax exempt, accepted charitable donations through its affiliation with the Alliance for Global Justice, based in Arizona.
You can’t count on the media to follow up and explain what the Alliance for Global Justice is… but the connection is damning.
The Alliance for Global Justice was spun off from the Nicaragua Network which had been set up to support the Sandinista Marxist terror regime. It went on to operate the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign in support of the narcosocialist Maduro regime whose bosses are wanted criminals for their role in a cartel smuggling cocaine into the United States.
AFGJ’s backers include George Soros and the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation, and it has used its status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to offer fiscal sponsorship to some of the worst of the worst close to home. When Refuse Fascism, a group linked by some to Antifa and which has defended Antifa violence, solicits donations, it does so using the Action Network, a platform utilized by both Antifa and the DNC, and directs tax-deductible donations through AFGJ.
The same is true of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network which asks supporters to direct checks to AFGJ. Samidoun does not bother to disguise what it is. It describes terrorists as “resistance fighters” and “martyrs”, and urges support for the “resistance”. Israel designated Samidoun as a subsidiary of the PFLP terrorist organization. Multiple PFLP figures have been accused of serving leadership roles in Samidoun including its executive director, former vice chair, and multiple coordinators. PayPal, MasterCard, Visa and other financial services have cut off access to Samidoun and the latest also cut off AFGJ.
So BLM OKC was raising money through a group that had been cut off from normal fundraising because of its ties to terrorists.
And where was the money going?
In the spring of 2020, BLMOKC raised money from online donors and national bail funds to support its mission. Prosecutors say the organization raised more than $5.6 million, including grants routed through AFGJ from the Community Justice Exchange, the Massachusetts Bail Fund and the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
Those bail funds were dedicated to freeing criminals.
The indictment also alleges Dickerson used the funds to pay for:
• Recreational travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic
• Tens of thousands of dollars in retail purchases
• At least $50,000 in food and grocery deliveries
• A personal vehicle
• Six Oklahoma City properties deeded to her or to Equity International LLC, an entity she controlled
Black Mansions matter too.
Dickerson had previously claimed that, “the system of policing was created to Enslave, Murder, and Oppress Black Lives! The officer’s actions are blatant examples of the practices and procedures taught and accepted by the Culture of Policing. Their actions uphold white supremacy, amplify the effects of colonization.” Policing is actually needed to catch criminals.
An Instagram profile that shares the same name with Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson describes her as a “BLM organizer, Women’s March Nat’l Board Member, Clergy, Activist, Black Womanist, Reproductive Justice Advocate, Truth Speaker, Unpaid Protester.”
Of all those, the ‘Unpaid protester” one may be the funniest yet.
The profile features the logo ‘Free Palestine’. Her Instagram profile contains Islamic prayers.
Here she is in action heroically addressing a white genderfluid crowd about the importance of the ‘revolution’.
And here she is as the running mate to chair the Oklahoma Democratic Party.
Funny how none of the media profiles mention any of her roles in the Democratic Party and the progressive movement beyond BLM.
