Foolani

"Dr." Lenora B. Fulani is an Afrofascist moonbat who - for reasons we cannot explain - is a high-profile political ally of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York City. Fulani is a groupie of the Rev Al and of Louis "Calypso Lou" Farrakhan and routinely turns out North-Korean-sounding sycophantic pieces about these two dear leaders. Fulani was one of the people marching famously with Rev Al and supporting his position in the infamous Tawana Brawley hoax.

Fulani is very closely connected with a mega-moonbat mentor Fred Newman who claims to be a psychotherapist — some call him a cult leader — who was closely associated with Lyndon LaRouche. [Newman's "social therapy" group sessions link emotional problems to social problems and seek to "deprogram" clients and then direct them to work for Marxist-influenced political agendas.] Fulani's "doctorate" is from Newman's New York Institute for Social Therapy.

Fulani ran for President in 1988 as a member of the New Alliance Party, which Newman founded. When Fulani ran for New York Governor in 1990 and for President in 1992, she was endorsed by Farrakhan, but never managed to break that tough glass barrier of 1/5 of 1% of the popular vote. She and her guru Newman have both been repeatedly denounced as anti-Semites by the Anti-Defamation League, due in part to their producing a Jew-bashing play that told a distorted version of the Crown Heights violence in 1991. The Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith published a “research report” called “The New Alliance Party: A Study in Deception.” It begins by describing NAP as “(p)art Marxist sect, part therapy cult …” and includes a section headed “More Hostility Toward Israel and Jews.” Not coincidentally, it is included in the FBI’s files on the New Alliance Party. NAP received its first official mention in an ADL report in 1987. Titled “Still a Scapegoat: Israel and Zionism in the Mind of the Radical Left,” the report described Comrade Newman, the chief strategist of the New Alliance Party, as a “self-hating Jew.” Fulani and Newman both love to rant about the "Zionist lobby" and are obsessed with imaginary Jewish cabals.

A few days ago, Fulani started a new controvery when she was asked and refused to disavow comments attributed to her in the late 1980's saying that Jews "had to sell their souls to acquire Israel" and had to "function as mass murderers of people of color" to keep it. Asked about the comments on NY1 News on Wednesday night, Fulani, today a high-profile official with the Independence Party, said, "What is anti-Semitic about it? It's raising issues that I think need to be explored." Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said Dr. Fulani's remarks undercut arguments that she has matured since her earlier, more incendiary days. She was praising Yassir Arafat's terrorism long before Arafat started pretending to be participating in any "peace process."

When Mayor Bloomberg was asked at his regular press briefing yesterday morning whether her stand was anti-Semitic, he initially said he could not hear the question. Then he said, "I don't know what she's referring to so you'll have to ask her." Aides later said the mayor had not been briefed on Dr. Fulani's remarks before the encounter with the press. This is the same woman who charged - just three months after the events - that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were "the result of how America has positioned itself in the world."

The New York Post summed it up best:

"It's time for New York's political establishment - led by Mayor Bloomberg - to sever all ties to the anti-Semitic hatemonger Lenora Fulani. "
