Jacuma Kambui and his alleged Assata connection
Andy Petit, 5/3/08

Jacuma Kambui is head of the Talking Drum Collective and the owner of AssataShakur.org, which purports to support Assata in her struggles. He has left a dubious trail on one of Davey D's forums which starts with an interview of Willie “Mukasa” Ricks, a legendary veteran of the US civil rights struggles who originated the use of "Black Power".  Kambui then kicks in with an attack on the interviewer, Kalonji Jama Changa, who responds by accusing Kambui of being a manipulator and thief. Two of Kambui's associates join him in this sad trail, Darnell Crawford and Alexis Lucas - they apparently developed a web site for the Prisoners of Conscience Committee (POCC), took in orders, never fulfilled them, and kept the money.

Changa further specifies that Crawford was an information specialist at the US Army's Tank and Armament Command in Warren, MI, something he did his best to hide from others as he pontificated on Army surveillance of militants.

Kambui's response to the many accusations is to summon two lists of activists who are supposed to support him. Someone checked out 5 persons on the second one at the bottom of the forum and they had not agreed to the posted statement.

Kambui maintains a profile on RBG Worldwide 1 Nation with an odd picture of the webmeister peering out of a blinded window, an automatic weapon in hand.

His work on assatashakur.org is increasingly being called into question as he has posted copyrighted materials without permission and despite repeated calls to remove them. The sly old dog thinks his slick net moves are actually beyond elementary forensics.
