After nearly a decade of false claims about Russian election interference, the only ones charged and convicted of election interference on behalf of Russia were the members of the African People’s Socialist Party.
Four activists were convicted Thursday after being accused of interfering in St. Petersburg elections and causing disruption on behalf of the Russian government, according to the Department of Justice.
The DOJ said a jury convicted Omali Yeshitela, 82, Penny Hess, 78, Jesse Nevel, 34, all of St. Louis, and Augustus C. Romain Jr., 38, of Atlanta, on charges of conspiracy to act as agents of a foreign government.
The four conspirators either have or previously had tied to the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP), which ran the Uhuru House in St. Petersburg, Florida. In 2022, the FBI raided the Uhuru House, stating that the location was used by Russian intelligence to manipulate local elections and disseminate propaganda.
According to prosecutors, Yeshitela, Nevel, and Hess worked with Russian national Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov, the founder of the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, from May 2015 to July 2022. Romain was a former leader of the APSP who later formed the Black Hammer out of Georgia in 2018.
Prosecutors said Yeshitela later communicated with the three other co-defendants in an email saying it was “clear” Ionov was a member of the Russian government who wanted to use “forces inside of the U.S. to s[o]w division inside the U.S.”
Yeshitela, who founded the APSP, told Hess and Nevel in a later meeting that Ionov would only give them resources to “support Russia’s efforts to ‘undermin[e] the U.S.,’” the DOJ stated.
“For example, in August 2015, Ionov requested that Yeshitela, Hess and Nevel draft and publish a petition to the United Nations charging the United States with actively committing genocide against African people,” the DOJ stated. “When Hess resisted, Ionov insisted that the APSP had to publish the petition because Ionov and his Russian backers were ‘not exactly Black to demand it for ourselves.’ Hess subsequently drafted and published the requested petition, which Ionov promoted in Russian media.”
Anyone who knows anything about the Cold War and Communist efforts to exploit the black community will recognize the familiar M.O. of the Soviet security services and their leftist allies in America.
I wrote about the African People’s Socialist Party in 2022.
One of the black nationalist groups in the indictment is the Black Hammer Party whose leader Gazi Kodzo had described Anne Frank as a “colonizer” and “bleach demon” and who has since been arrested on charges of kidnapping, assault, and aggravated sodomy.
The Marxist group involved in BLM protests had been known for marching through Atlanta behind its “gender non-conforming” leader who calls himself “they”, and shouting, “Kill the police! To get free, you’ve got to kill the pigs.”
Another of these was the Uhuru Movement, a socialist black nationalist group previously involved in race riots in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1996. […]
