The Independent Business News Network was established in July of 2008. The goal of IBNN is to provide a different view of the local, national and global news and events that happen in the Black communities around the world. IBNN's expectations are to provide a level of coverage and investigative reporting not seen on local mainstream media, while covering Politics, Education, Money, Business, and Community events. IBNN is an affiliate of Black Politics in Minneapolis, Radical Black USA and other African American news sources. Comments, concerns and questions can be emailed to ibnnnews@gmail.com

"Go ahead Punk, make my day!"

Some in the Black community might not be doing the right thing. Reporting on events, places. people and things have led to someone with advanced technology placing terrorist threats, bombings and acts of violence against those who expose the truth. (It’s funny, with all the poor people and lack of economic opportunity in north Minneapolis, why are these idiots call me?)

Minneapolis, MN. (July 2, 2010/IBNN Special Report)…Today at approximately 10:03 a.m. (CST) IBNN NEWS receive a telephone call from phone number (612) 521-0344. The caller would not identify himself by said, “You need to come and visit us at the Peace Foundation. Next time you bring a camera in here, we’ll kick your ass and blow up your crib.”

IBNN immediately called the number back – to our surprise; it’s a trunk line for the Peace Foundation in north Minneapolis.

IBNN contacted Sondra Samuels, Chairman of the Peace Foundation to inform her of the misuse of telecommunication systems within the organization. Ms. Samuels said, “I will check this out right away – this shouldn’t be happening from our number.”

The calls from this number have also been linked to calling the National Research Institute.

This number is not the only number were both organizations have been contacted with threats of violence, bombings and terrorist threats.

On Thursday, June 24, 2010 – after the Minneapolis Public Schools and Mortenson Construction meeting at the Capri Theater in north Minneapolis IBNN and Mr. Ron Edwards, of the National Research Institute both received calls telling us, “If you don’t stop reporting on the events in the Black community, something is going to happen to both of you.”

IBNN received a call twice from phone number (612) 522-2100. When the number is called back, the operator tells you, “This number is disconnected.”

IBNN enlisted the assistance of one of the best Reverse Phone Look-Up companies in the United States, “Intelius,” who provides the research necsasary to trace the “origin” of phone calls placed.

The results are below….shock? We are too!

NRI has also received threatening phone calls, after 12 midnight originating from the Minneapolis Urban League telephone number (612) 302-3100 and IBNN has received a call from the Minneapolis Police Department’s Homicide Units telephone number ending in “45.” The Sargent from the MPD Homicide Unit did call back and tell IBNN he did not make the calls.

Currently an investigation is underway to trace the source of the suspect(s) who have used the technology to loop and clone numbers as far away as Kansas City. IBNN will keep you updated.
