Hoaxer Tawana Brawley celebrated in New Jersey fund-raiser
.
Last Updated: 5:37 AM, May 13, 2013

Infamous rape hoaxster and court deadbeat

[at least they got that part right]

Tawana Brawley got
rock-star treatment in New Jersey yesterday, posing for photos with
dozens of supporters honoring her as a courageous victim of
injustice — as they stuffed envelopes full of cash for her.

Brawley, 40 — whose claim that she was raped by six men was
revealed to be a fake 25 years ago — beamed as she and her
mother, Glenda, were hailed for surviving society’s “lies since 1987.”

“Let’s let this young queen Tawana know we love her to death,” said
incendiary former City College professor Leonard Jeffries, the
master of ceremonies for the event at the Integrity Masonic Temple
in Paterson.

Jeffries has said “rich Jews” financed the slave trade and whites are
violent, cruel “ice people.’’

Yesterday’s crowd of more than 150 roared with applause at his
praise of Brawley.

The event’s organizers charged $50 per person, with the proceeds
going to a kids camp run by the Freedom Retreat for Children.

The camp’s annual fund-raiser is usually held at the Cotton Club in
Harlem — but couldn’t be there this year because Glenda Brawley still
has a warrant out for her arrest over procedural charges related to the
infamous hoax.

Inside the hall, attendees were given envelopes for the Tawana
Brawley Defense Fund to help her cover legal costs for the lawsuit
she lost to former Dutchess County Prosecutor Steven Pagones, one
of the men falsely accused of raping Brawley in 1987.

Brawley originally owed $190,000 for the defamation suit, but the
amount has ballooned to more than $430,000 with interest.
The Post recently found her living under an assumed name in
Virginia, and a court promptly ordered her wages to be garnisheed to
start paying back the debt.

Several people dropped $50 bills in the envelopes. One supporter,
the Rev. C. Herbert Oliver, gave a “very substantial donation,” a
source said. And an older woman said she gave some of her
pension.

Pagones, however, was outraged.

“It’s ridiculous,” he told The Post.

“If [Brawley] wanted to be a hero in the justice system, she could
come out and admit the entire thing was a hoax.

“She can do the right thing — she could just tell the truth.”

Found in a trash bag in Dutchess County with slurs scrawled on her
body, a 15-year-old Brawley ignited national outrage by claiming she
was raped by six men, including Pagones and a cop. A grand jury
found the tale to be false.

Brawley refused comment as she left yesterday’s event with a coat
over her head, surrounded by eight men. She was driven off in an
SUV that had Virginia plates.

C'mon Black America, We Can Do So Much Better!
By Lloyd Marcus

So why after 25 years would the event organizers rewrite history, turning this sinner into a saint, praising her for surviving society's "lies since 1987"? What on earth were they thinking? Brawley lied! The white guys she lied on got paid. Are these people living in a parallel universe or what?

The emcee for the Bizarro-World love-fest event for Brawley was former City College professor Leonard Jeffries. He has said "rich Jews" financed the slave trade and that whites are violent, cruel "ice people." Folks, the fact that this racist nutty professor has had access to the impressionable minds of our youths terrifies and angers me.
And yet, Jeffries's ilk dominate campuses across America.

Now get this, folks: proceeds from the $50-a-person fundraiser went to a kid's camp. What the heck did the organizers tell the kids about their keynote?

See, kids, you too can concoct a vile lie smearing innocent people and then grow up and be treated like royalty.

With all the brilliant, honorable blacks out there who should be held high as inspirational role models, why in heaven's name would the event organizers select Tawana "Lying Hoaxter" Brawley? Lord help us.

Since the election of Obama, millions of blacks have embraced a brain-dead mindset fueled by racism -- by loyalty to skin-color. If Obama announced that he is the spawn of Satan, blacks would still call all who oppose his agenda racist. And no, I am not saying Obama is a devil.

Folks, as a proud American who happens to be black, the insane "race trumps everything" thinking prevalent in the black community continues to amaze, sadden, and frustrate me. You are probably as sick of reading my articles about this topic as I am of writing them. Still, I feel compelled to shine the light of truth -- a voice crying in the wilderness.

Black so-called civil rights leaders and white liberals in the media celebrate the bottom of the barrel: ignorant, violent, woman-disrespecting black rappers and thugs. Meanwhile, they throw away the cream of the crop: self-reliant, non-whiny, successful blacks.

And whom has the Race Exploitation Industry and mainstream media chosen to elevate to black icon status? Tawana Brawley, Rachel Jeantel (19 years old and still in high school) and thug Trayvon Martin. Though his death was extremely tragic, unarguably Martin was a thug.

Speaking of the having the putrid pus of racial hatred on the brain, black Chicago Rep. Monique Davis suggested that the reports of epidemic black on black murders in Chicago are really a cover-up for white cops killing young black men. Good grief!

Black America, why are you allowing such insanely hateful racist people to speak for you? Rep. Davis's thinking is typical of the CBC and NAACP. Thus, I would never give a dime of financial support to either race exploitation group. While Davis and her ilk continue to blame whites and make excuses, black America is swiftly going down the toilet.

Equally frustrating is black America's willingness to lay down their morals, values, and ability to reason at the feet of Obama in worship simply because he is black.

Frankly, I am sick of liberals, black and white, feeding black America excrement while calling it filet mignon. Black America, please, please, please stop eating it!

C'mon black America, we are and can do so much better.

And everybody thought the Duke case was about the law, and whether a crime was committed...

It was never about that.

It was about exploiting the narrative (by various groups--feminists, politicians, race-industry manipulators).

That it could even be called a "perfect storm" shows that it was never about law or truth.

Pay-up time for Brawley:
'87 rape-hoaxer finally
shells out for slander

Posted: 12:05 AM, August 4, 2013

Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana
Brawley is finally paying for her lies.

Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to exprosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her
vicious hoax.

A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six
months of Brawley’s wages as a nurse there.

She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains
defiantly unapologetic.

“It’s a long time coming,” said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more
interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash.

“Every week, she’ll think of me,” he told The Post. “And every week,
she can think about how she has a way out — she can simply tell the
truth.”

Brawley’s advisers in the infamous race-baiting case — the Rev. Al
Sharpton, and attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox —
have already paid, or are paying, their defamation debt. But Brawley,
41, had eluded punishment.

She’s now forced to pay Pagones $627 each month, possibly for the
rest of her life. Under Virginia law, she can appeal the wage
garnishment every six months.

“Finally, she’s paying something,” said Pagones’ attorney, Gary
Bolnick. “Symbolically, I think it’s very important — you can’t just do
this stuff without consequences.”

Pagones filed for the garnishment with the circuit court in Surry
County, Va., in January, a few weeks after The Post tracked down
Brawley to tiny Hopewell, Va.

Before The Post came knocking, not even her own co-workers knew
she was the teen behind the spectacular 1987 case.

“I don’t want to talk to anyone about that,” Brawley growled after a
Post reporter confronted her about her sordid past in December.

Employing aliases including Tawana Thompson and Tawana
Gutierrez, she leads a relatively normal life by all appearances,
residing in a neat brick apartment complex and working as a licensed
practical nurse at The Laurels of Bon Air in Richmond.
She’s also raising a daughter, a neighbor said.

Brawley was spotted one morning emerging from her house with a
young girl and a man dressed in hospital scrubs.

They left in separate cars — Brawley in a Chrysler Sebring and the
man and child in a Ford Taurus. Brawley arrived at work about 30
minutes later, and the man pulled into the same lot minutes afterward.

Her current life is a far cry from the one she fled in upstate
Wappingers Falls, NY.

(snip)

Firebrands Maddox and Mason and a relatively unknown Sharpton
jumped into the fray. Within weeks, a suspect emerged — Fishkill
Police Officer Harry Crist Jr., who had been found dead in his
apartment three days after the Brawley “attack.”

But Pagones, a Dutchess County prosecutor at the time, defended
his dead friend Crist, offering an alibi for the cop — they were
Christmas-shopping together on one of the days in question. And on
the three other days of the “kidnapping,” Crist was on patrol, working
at his other job at IBM, and installing insulation in an attic.

Brawley’s handlers then claimed — without proof — that Pagones
was part of the white mob that kidnapped and raped the girl 33 times.

Celebrities lined up to support Tawana, including Bill Cosby, who
posted a $25,000 reward for information on the case; Don King, who
promised $100,000 for Brawley’s education; and Spike Lee, who in
his 1989 film, “Do the Right Thing,” included a shot of a graffiti
message reading, “Tawana told the truth.”

A grand jury reached a different conclusion. The jurors, who heard
from 180 witnesses over seven months, concluded in 1988 that the
entire story was a hoax.

They determined Brawley had run away from home and concocted
the story — most likely to avoid punishment from her stepfather,
Ralph King, who had spent seven years in prison in the 1970s for
killing his first wife.

Crist’s suicide was unrelated; he killed himself over a failed romance.
“It is probable that in the history of this state, never has a teenager
turned the prosecutorial and judicial systems literally upside-down with
such false claims,” state Supreme Court Justice S. Barrett Hickman
wrote at the time.

For Pagones, the damage was done. His marriage unraveled, and he
ended up leaving his job as a prosecutor. He continued to proclaim
his innocence, making it his life’s mission to bring Brawley and her
advisers to justice — and compel them to tell the truth.

In 1998, he won his defamation lawsuit. Maddox was found liable for
$97,000, Mason for $188,000, and Sharpton for $66,000 — money
that was paid by celebrity lawyer Johnnie Cochran and other
benefactors.

Sharpton, now a national figure, has never apologized for his role in
the hoax. Mason, an ordained minister who hasn’t practiced law since
being disbarred in 1995, has remained mostly silent.

But Maddox, whose law license was suspended in 1990, continues
the drumbeat for Brawley. He even tried to petition the Surry County
court to halt the garnishment of Brawley’s wages.

He maintained that in New York, where the defamation case took
place, two sets of laws apply.

“The common law applies to whites. The slave code still applies to
blacks,” he said.

In a July 22 legal brief signed by Brawley and submitted by Maddox,
Brawley contends she wouldn’t submit herself to the court’s
jurisdiction because an appearance in the court, “which inferentially
sympathizes with the Confederate States of America, would be
contrary to the US Constitution and would amount to a ‘badge of
slavery.’"

Brawley did not return messages seeking comment.

Pagones is still licensed to practice law but is now a principal at a
New York-based private-investigation firm. He has remarried, has
three daughters and a son, and lives in Dutchess County.

Brawley was ordered in 1998 to fork over $190,000 at 9 percent
annual interest. She now owes a total of about $431,492 — a sum
she could be paying for the rest of her life.

Or maybe not.

Pagones said he’d forgive the debt if Brawley admits the truth.
“I’m willing to consider anything,” he said.

Tawana loses job and bed
Can’t pay suit $$

By MICHAEL GARTLAND in Hopewell, Va., and LAURA ITALIANO in NY

Maybe now she’ll really have to sleep in a trash bag.

A week after The Post reported exclusively that rape hoaxer Tawana Brawley’s first $3,764 in garnisheed wages was sent to the man she defamed 25 years ago, she has lost her job — and her bed.

A Rent-A-Center truck pulled up at noon yesterday at the reclusive Brawley’s apartment in the central Virginia town of Hopewell, and two workers removed her mattress, box spring and bed frame.

Brawley — who opened her door for the workers and moved her car for their truck — would not comment on the furniture repo or the loss of her job as a licensed practical nurse at The Laurels of Bon Air nursing home in Richmond.

(snip)

This past May, Brawley — who remains defiantly unapologetic — collected an undisclosed sum at a New Jersey fund-raiser, Pagones pointed out.

The 41-year-old single mother of a young girl is required to pay Pagones more than $400,000 under a 1998 court decision in Pagones’ defamation suit against Brawley. A percentage of her weekly paychecks will be garnished — likely for the rest of her life — to pay that judgment.

“I’m hoping eventually she’ll get tired of living like this and she realizes it will be easier to tell the truth and put this whole thing behind her,” Pagones said yesterday.

Still, “who knows what name she might be using next time, or what Social Security number,” he said. Brawley has used at least two aliases since her flight.

“We called her ‘Tee-Tee,’ ” an ex-colleague said at the nursing home yesterday.

“She is not stupid enough to tell us where she went,” the co-worker said, adding that Brawley is secretive.

“All I can tell you is she’s no longer working here,” said Honor Chriscoe, the nursing home’s administrator. Pagones lawyer Gary Bolnick also confirmed the circuit court in Surry County, Va., has notified him that Brawley is no longer employed at the nursing home.
