Four Americans including Omali Yeshitela, leader of the African People’s Socialist Party, were held by feds, accused of aiding a Kremlin plot.
Four radical American socialists have been charged with election meddling and spreading Vladimir Putin’s propaganda after they were arrested in dramatic FBI raids.
Yeshitela said he was zip-tied outside his St. Louis home in a raid last July by FBI agents who used flashbangs as they stormed in.The DOJ says that the 81-year-old veteran leader of the far-left group conspired along with three others — one of whom is alleged to run a cult-like group called Black Hammer — to help Russian efforts to meddle in elections.
The indictment alleged that four Florida and Missouri-based members of the African People’s Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement joined the effort. Romain is also the head of Black Hammer, a fringe black separatist group. Romain is also known as Gazi Kodzo. “This case is not about whether or not I went to Russia, or whether or not I have a position around the war in Ukraine that was the same as what the Russians had,” Yeshitela wrote in an article late in 2022.
