GREEDTOWN: Behold! The Pigford Miracle Of Palestine, Arkansas!

Palestine is a city in Arkansas along the L’AnguilleRiver, less than an hour’s drive from Memphis Tennessee. Memphis is the home of the BFAA, the group headed by Tom Burrell that teaches seminars in how to commit undetectable fraud in the Pigford black farmer’s settlement.

Palestine is small. It’s 3.2 square miles with a population of only 741, according to the 2000 census. The population is mostly white. Only 13% of the population was black, according to the 2000 census. That’s about 97 black people; men, woman and children.

So, which at most 97 people in Palestine eligible to file Pigford II claims (since you had to be black to file) how many Pigford II claims were filed by the citizens of Palestine, according to the list of late filers?

372.

That’s $18,600,000 worth of Pigford II claims in Palestine.

Wait. What?

There were 372 Pigford II claims filed in a town that the U.S. Census says had only 97 black people total.

How does such a mathemagical wonderment happen?

Let’s take a look at a few Post Office Boxes in Palestine, AR to see how many Pigford II claims-each potentially worth $50,000-some of them have filed.

P.O. Box 604 : 17 Pigford II claims totaling $850,000

P.O. Box 657 : 10 Pigford II claims totaling $500,000

P.O Box 663 : 11 Pigford II claims totaling $550,000

P.O. Box 665 : 14 Pigford II claims totaling $700,000

That’s just four P.O. Boxes chosen at random in Palestine, Arkansas that filed a total of 52 Pigford II claims worth a total of $2,600.000.

Checks went out last week to 18,000 Pigford II claimants for a total of $1,200,000,000.

We have no way of knowing how many residents of Palestine received checks.
