Addicts are driven to desperate measures including robbery by the artificially inflated prices of drugs, while criminal elements are enriched and empowered through their dominance of this lucrative market.

Holocaust Remembrance and the forgotten millions - Jan 28,2012 | Today the UN General Assembly remembered the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Turkey, a Muslim nation also observed the day along with many, many other nations. However, lost in all this remembrance is the 9 million non-Jews who perished under the Nazi regime. How do you corner the market on genocide? And considering that every year the Holocaust is remembered in Israel, how is it that the citizens of Israel and Jews in the Diaspora allow Israel to sow seeds of so much hate by its treatment of the Palestinians and Ethiopian Jews. And how is it that Jews in America who participated in the slave trade of Africans and eugenics program in America are not put on blast just like their Nazi offspring? The Nazis themselves said American policies inspired their policies. The Jews of conscious, who do speak up or out on this hypocrisy, are often marginalized and called self hating Jews.

Ending the Drug War w/ Russell Jones - Jan 18,2012 | Joining us via Law Enforcement Against Prohibtion is Russ Jones. As chronicled in his book, Honorable Intentions, Russell Jones has been involved in the "War on Drugs" on various fronts for 40 years. For 10 of those years Russ worked as a San Jose, California police officer, narcotics detective and member of a DEA-run task force. Later, as a government intelligence agent, Russ worked in Latin America observing narcotics trafficking during the Nicaragua-Contra conflict. Russ rightly attests that from the advent of drug prohibition in 1914 to the declaration of "War on Drugs" in 1970, to our present-day policies and tactics, the US government has not significantly reduced the use and abuse of drugs. Instead we have incarcerated millions, destroyed the lives of countless youths, while corrupting police, judges, and politicians. "We are taxing our population at over 69 billion dollars a year to support this War on Drugs," he notes, "and the result is the enrichment of drug lords, foreign government officials, and our own government agencies that are involved in this folly." Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) is a non-profit organization - www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com - formed by cops, judges and others in the criminal justice system who believe the War on Drugs has been an expensive failure that has only made our nations tragic drug problem worse. | 1/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Does it matter if Ron Paul is racist or not? - Jan 08,2012 | Ron Paul and his views on the drug war and foreign policy have been getting a lot of media attention as he runs for President hoping to get the Republican nomination. Since he has been surging in the polls, taking third in Iowa and currently surging in New Hampshire, corporate media and black media have made an issue about newsletters published by Paul in the nineties. Paul denies writing the newsletters in question and says they do not reflect his views. Another publisher and writer, Yvette Carnell has written about the race issue and Ron Paul. Yvette Carnell who publishes the media hub "Breaking Brown" wrote, "Over the past couple of weeks, two distinct memes about Ron Paul have grabbed hold; 1) Ron Paul is racist 2) a racist should never be President. I submit to you that even if both these suppositions are true, they still don’t matter, certainly not in any meaningful way that actually matters to African Americans."

He also encountered an increasing number of law-enforcement, judicial, and corrections officials who privately questioned the prohibition policies they were assigned to enforce. These "drug-warriors" doubted the foundations of the "War on Drugs," as well its effectiveness, morality, and ethics. We will ask Dr. Gilbert what he thinks about the recent NY Times article that reveals how law enforcement officials who question drug policies are punished. | 12/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Uncle Sam wants to lock you up without trial indefinitely! - Dec 04,2011 | The U.S. Senate passed a bi-partisan bill that would allow U.S. citizens to be locked up without trial indefinitely. Rep. Ron Paul (R) and Sen. Rand Paul (R) have strongly oppossed the bill saying “We are talking about people who are merely suspected of a crime, and we are talking about American citizens. If these provisions pass, we could see American citizens being sent to Guantánamo Bay.” President Obama said he might veto the legislation. Guest Timothy Gatto is a blogger and author of the book From Complicity To Contempt and recently wrote about bill S 1867 which he says "kills the Bill of Rights and declares war on the American people".

ATF's Fast & Furious Gun Smuggling - Aug 12,2011 | HQ Full Podcast - Have you heard the latest on the Congressional hearings into the ATFs Operation Fast & Furious"? The ATF was found to have allowed weapons smugglers to walk across the border into Mexico and into the hands of drug cartels. Only 600 of the various weapons have been recovered but close to 2,000 still remain unaccounted for. Some of the weapons have been involved in over 150 shootings and deaths. Does this sound familiar?

Huckabee's Neo-Con Worldview Rears Its Ugly Head - Mar 03,2011 | Republican Presidential hopeful, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is in the news for making comments about President Obama’s worldview being shaped by British colonialism in Africa specifically referring to Kenya, the birthplace of Obama’s father. Huckabee said that President Obama’s youth has caused him to resent the West and explains that this is why his foreign policy differs greatly from that of his predecessors. "One thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, (is) very different than the average American," Huckabee said during an interview with New York radio station WOR this week. It is troubling that a man, who claims to be a follower of Christ, would take issue with the bust of the British Butcher, Winston Churchill being removed from the oval office. Huckabee’s assertion that President Obama’s foreign policy differs from that of his predecessors is also false. President Obama has not only continued the US military presence in Iraq, he has escalated its activities in Afghanistan and has used predator drones to carry out deadly attacks in Pakistan. At every turn the Obama administration has sought to defend and shield former Bush administration officials from answering for their crimes against humanity which include torture and illegal dentition. A fact check of every point or issue raised by Huckabee during this interview with a right wing radio show will show that either Huckabee is terribly uninformed or has not problem lying to push a right wing neo-colonial worldview. | 3/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Justice Department Fails To Act In Shooting of Black Children - Mar 02,2011 | How can John Fugua not be charged with a hate crime when witnesses reported he yelled ethnic slurs at the children before opening up on them with a shotgun? Why was he initially only given a $5,000 bond, does this show that the magistrate in questions thinks little of the value of Black children’s lives. Here we are in 2011, two years after the incident and Eric Holder’s and Obama’s Justice Department has yet to charge this monster with a hate crime under federal statutes. One must also ask why North Carolina considers hate crimes based on ethnicity to only be a misdemeanor offence. Caswell County is under the The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of North Carolina. Ripley Eagles Rand who was nominated by President Obama, was sworn in as the U. S.

Black Talk Radio Yesterday, Today & Beyond - Feb 20,2011 | What is Black Talk Radio? Quite simply it is a phrase that has been around since the first radio station was created that featured Black disk Jockey’s spinning records featuring Black Music artist primarily for a Black listening audience. In the 1960’s Malcolm X said that media is the most powerful entity on the planet because it has the power to control the minds of the masses. There is a direct link between the deviant behavior in the Black community and the media that it used to target it. As we enter this new millennium, a new era in new Black media is at hand, the only question is will you be a part of the process in working towards a solution for the Black community. In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr said Black radio hosts were the opinion makers of the Black community and played an integral role in the civil rights movement. Where is Black radio, specifically Black Talk Radio today and where is it headed. Is it benefiting the Black community or as Minister Farrakhan once said, it is still controlled by white men? | 2/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

NAACP Leader Calls City of Charlotte, NC Racist! - Jan 18,2011 | Charlotte, North Carolina The Local NAACP is outraged that a snow-make up day was sceduled by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board on the national holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The leader of the NAACP Charlotte Mecklenburg County branch, Kojo Nantambu speaking to the local media during the protest went as far as to call the entire city of Charlotte racist. Charlotte has a black mayor, Anthony Fox who is a Democrat and a black police chief. Mayor Foxx said it was “regrettable” that the snow make-up day was scheduled on Dr. King’s national holiday but that “given the challenges so many young people are facing it's hard for me to make the argument that if class is in session they shouldn't go." Rev. Kojo Nantambu said that the local NAACP is in talks with Jesse Jackson to come to the city to address the issue and hopes that the NAACP national chapter will support them in their efforts to persuade the Democratic National Party not to hold their 2012 convention in the city. Mayor Foxx who has been working to bring the convention to Charlotte has yet to respond to Nantambu’s boycott threat. | 1/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Benjamin Jealous of the NAACP is a Charlatan - Jan 02,2011 | According to Wikipedia, a charlatan is “(also called swindler or mountebank) is a person practicing quackery or some similar confidence trick in order to obtain money, fame or other advantages via some form of pretense or deception.” While the entire NAACP and its many autonomous chapters should not be condemned, its national leadership embodied by its leader and main mouthpiece Benjamin Jealous must be called out for his misrepresentation of the truth regarding the case of the Scott Sisters. The two sisters, Jamie and Gladys Scott have languished in a Mississippi prison plantation for nearly 17 years after being convicted of an armed robbery for which they had no part in, and sentenced to double life terms for eleven dollars. Governor Haley Barbour recently suspended their sentences but fell short of acknowledging the injustice done to the sisters and placed dubious conditions on their impending release. | 1/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

WikiLeaks: Dyncorp Throws Child Sex Party For Afghan Police - Dec 11,2010 | Breaking News: Texas Company Helped Pimp Little Boys To Stoned Afghan Cops The houston Press is reporting the military contractor Dyncorp has been implicated in yet another scandal involving child sex. John Nova Lomax writes, "Another international conflict, another horrific taxpayer-funded sex scandal for DynCorp, the private security contractor tasked with training the Afghan police'. And in Kunduz province, according to the leaked cable, that money was flowing to drug dealers and pimps. Pimps of children, to be more precise. (The exact type of drug was never specified.) Since this is Afghanistan, you probably already knew this wasn't a kegger. Instead, this DynCorp soiree was a bacha bazi ("boy-play") party, much like the ones uncovered earlier this year by Frontline. For those that can't or won't click the link, bacha bazi is a pre-Islamic Afghan tradition that was banned by the Taliban. Bacha boys are eight- to 15-years-old. They put on make-up, tie bells to their feet and slip into scanty women's clothing, and then, to the whine of a harmonium and wailing vocals, they dance seductively to smoky roomfuls of leering older men. After the show is over, their services are auctioned off to the highest bidder, who will sometimes purchase a boy outright. And by services, we mean anal sex: The State Department has called bacha bazi a "widespread, culturally accepted form of male rape." (While it may be culturally accepted, it violates both Sharia law and Afghan civil code.)" Read more.. Lets see if Congress moves as quickly to Defund Dyncorp as they did in Defunding ACORN.

Wikileaks: Obama's Mexican Drug War w/ Jack Cole - Dec 08,2010 | Jack Cole is a former New Jersey State Police Officer who worked as an undercover narcotics officer for 14 of his 26 year career. He approaches the War on Drugs from several perspectives and one of those is that it is steeped in racism. While the African American population in the United States is a minority, the majority of drug convictions are African Americans even though they constitute a minority of drug users in the United States. After retiring from law enforcement, Jack Cole as one of the five founding members of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, helped to grow it into an organization that has over 30,000 supporters calling for an end to the War on Drugs. Today Jack will discuss revelations from recently released diplomatic cables disputing President Obama's assertion that Mexico is not turning into another Colombia which is contrary to what Hillary Clinton told a Washington Think Tank citing the loss of civilian lives and the loss of government control of huge land areas within the country to drug traffickers. Media reports about some of the documents recently released by Wikileaks paint a grim picture of the loss of life and land due to the escalation of the Drug War in Mexico in the past four years at a cost of over 1.5 Billion dollars to the U.S. taxpayers.

WikiLeaks: Obama Lied About the US-Mexican Drug War - Dec 03,2010 | Sarah Palin may want to see Julian Assange assassinated, but if anything, he should awarded the Times Man of the Year Award. WikiLeaks latest releases exposes the dirty laundry of the US Government and while Hillary Clinton who was recently exposed as a criminal running the State Department as if it were a wing of the CIA, claims that WikiLeaks is an attack on America’s foreign policy interests. What WikiLeaks is doing in reality is attacking the credibility of the government of the United States. Take the United States Drug war for an example. President Obama claimed in September of 2010 that the level of violence seen in Mexico attributed to that country’s U.S. backed war against drug cartels did not resemble the violence seen in Columbia during the Reagan Administration where scores of citizens and politicians were killed because of U.S. foreign policy interest. Obama was seeking to ease concerns over Hillary Clinton’s statement to a Washington think-tank that Mexico is "looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago, where the narco-traffickers control certain parts of the country," Obama told a Spanish language newspaper that "Mexico is vast and progressive democracy, with a growing economy, and as a result you cannot compare what is happening in Mexico with what happened in Colombia 20 years ago”. However, according to Mexican officials, their government was losing control of parts of its national territory and time was "running out" to rein in drug violence. | 12/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Black Farmer Settlement Approved By Senate, Now Goes To Lame Duck House - Nov 20,2010 | The U.S. Senate has finally approved a measure that will fund a $1.15 billion dollar settlement to pay Black Farmers who were discriminated against by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. CNN is reporting that The 1997 Pigford v. Glickman case against the U.S.D.A which was settled out of court 11 years ago under a federal judge's terms would pay qualified farmers up to $50,000 dollars each to settle claims of racial bias. However, the measure now must go back to the House of Representatives and many hope it will be approved in a lame duck session so it can then be signed into law by President Obama. A number of seats were picked up in the House by self described Tea Party Republicans and it is feared that the measure will not receive the support it needs when the New Congress assume power in January.

Conservative Win Case To Deny Felony Voting - Oct 08,2010 | In Today’s News Brief: The San Francisco Chronicle reports that a state can prohibit felons from voting even if the ban disproportionately harms minorities, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday in a Washington state case that supports a similar law in California. A six-judge majority noted that other appeals courts have concluded that federal civil rights laws do not apply to a state's disqualification of felons from voting. The Pacific Legal Foundation, a non profit law firm based in Sacramento, California filed arguments in the case supporting the voting disenfranchisement of felons in the state of Washington.

Congressmen Charge Black Farmer Settlement Rife With Fraud? - Oct 01,2010 | Carl Horowitz who works for the conservative National Legal and Policy Center, along with Tea Party conservatives are mounting a campaign of deception to manufacture outrage and paint a distorted picture that the Obama administration and the Justice Department is somehow trying to assist Black Farmers in defrauding U.S. Tax payers or at the very least not interested in pursuing cases of fraud against Black farmers. Never mind the fact that further investigation would be redundant, it is similar to the disinformation being put out by the right wing political propaganda machine that is not shy in heavily using the race card to mobilize voters to support extremist right wing candidates who are mounting an insurgency against the RNC which coincidentally is headed by its first ever elected African American, Michael Steele.

Bishop Allen has criticized the National Black Police Association, which endorsed Proposition 19 and has said they are “not real cops”.

Dr. Laura's Rant: An Example of Failed Consciousness - Aug 26,2010 | Most of America is aware of the recent n-word laced rant Dr. Laura Schlessinger subjected one of her African America listeners too on her publicly broadcast radio program. While not enough information is known to call her a flat out racist no matter how racist her rant was, it begs the question, do you have to be racist to practice white supremacy and if you practice consciously or sub-consciously practice white supremacy, does it not make you a racist? Dr. Tracy Scott writes, "While some white religious minds in recent history have attempted to apply faith to human challenges, they have and continue to misunderstand faith and religion as it relates to issues of color, or as W.E.B. DuBois states “The color line.” Their error in cognitive thought is largely related to their white sociopolitical, and at times pathological human development that has shaped their thinking, understanding and ultimately their behavior. Dr. Laura is an example of this failed consciousness particularly as it relates, but not just to her rant and use of the word n****r. But she is not alone." Dr. Tracy Scott is Founder and President of Feeding The Soul Christian Ministries, Healthy Living Seminars and the radio station WPJC.FM. The former psychology intern and therapist of the Minirth Meier Clinic, Dr. Scott is a sought after speaker and he has authored several articles while providing counseling and leadership to many individuals, couples, families, ministries, churches and organizations.

DiMaggio's book "When Media Goes to War: Hegemonic Discourse, Public Opinion, and the Limits of Dissent" examines how public debate is framed by the political elite through media. He recently wrote an article, "The Muslim Community Center at Ground Zero: a Manufactured Controversy" which "racist uproar is taking place in conservative America, particularly in right-wing radio and television." We will discuss the recent protests held over the weekend in which hundreds turned out to express their opposition to the Muslim community center that has been cleared for construction in Manhattan, blocks from ground zero. We will also talk to Mr. DiMaggio about the recently declassified files from the National Archives that reveal covert propaganda and lobbying activities of Israel in the United States. | 8/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sarah Palin: Schlessinger Has First Amendment Right To Use The N-Word - Aug 20,2010 | It appears Dr. Laura has a sympathizer in Sarah Palin over her decision to use the N-Word on the public airwaves. After announcing an end to her nationally syndicated radio program for her use of the N-Word to attack a Black woman in an inter-racial marriage who called into her program asking for help in dealing with racist neighbors, Dr. Laura Schlessinger is now playing the victim card. She is claiming her freedom of speech rights "have been usurped by angry, hateful groups who don't want to debate - they want to eliminate." Sarah Palin weighed in on the issue via twitter in which she tweeted twice in support Schlessinger right to use the N-Word on the public airwaves. If it was not enough to show her ignorance and lack of knowledge of the issue, Palin then re-tweets a partisan political attack on Shirley Sherrod as if the two issues were the same. Are conservatives being selective about the application of the First Amendment? Remember these are the same people that attacked Shirley Sherrod, attacking Muslims and anyone who does not agree with their extremism and religious bigotry.

The Marijuana Debate: What Role Should The Church Play? - Aug 19,2010 | Yvette Carnell is a former Capitol Hill Staffer turned political blogger. She currently publishes two blogs, Spatterblog.com and GoGirlGuide.com and her article "The Black Church vs. Marijuana" takes a look at the role Church leaders are playing in Calfornia's Proposition 19 also known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 debate. Carnell writes, "Not much has changed in the black church since the 1990’s. Christians still prefer to paint, with broad strokes, a picture of their enemy standing squarely in Satan’s camp, and then bully said enemy into submission with vivid threats of fire and brimstone. The latest evangelist to pick up the torch and pitchfork is Reverend Ron Allen of the International Faith Based Coalition in California. He and his ministerial posse have embarked on a campaign to oppose a California initiative which would tax and regulate marijuana. And wouldn’t you just know it, they are also demonizing NAACP California Branch President Alice Huffman for her support of the ballot measure." Read more What do you think? Is the Black church on the wrong side of this issue?

(BFAA, Inc.) held a press conference calling for the resignation of USDA Secretary Thomas Vilsack for his cursory firing of Shirley Sherrod a former USDA employee who is being targeted by right wing propagandist Andrew Breitbart whose video excerpt prompted Vilsack and members of the Obama administration to force her resignation. It isn't just the Sherrod case that the Black Farmers take issue with but "the reluctance to honor a Settlement Agreement that provides restitution to Black farmers who were discriminated against by the USDA." Tom Burrell, president of the BFAA, Inc. said, "Secretary Vilsack’s quick actions in the firing of Shirley Sherrod was unfortunate and it proves that there continues to be an untenable culture of racial discrimination at the Department of Agriculture," and "On his watch, some 70,000 Black farmers and their families stand to lose their homes and land, because he is also trying to avoid giving them the restitution that they were awarded by a federal court under the Pigford Consent Decree Settlement Agreement." A press conference will be held by the Black Farmers & Agriculturalists Association, Inc. calling for the resignation of Secretary Vilsack for the continued discrimination against hard-working Black farmers and their families.

Blacks To Decide If Marijuana Legalization Passes In California - Aug 02,2010 | The debate or whether or not marijuana legalization (Proposition 19) passes in California is heating up and some watching this debate have concluded that the Black population may be the deciding vote should it pass. The two central figures in the debate seem to be Bishop Ron Allen, an admitted former crackhead who claims marijuana is a gateway drug and has been the Black face of opposition. On the other side of the debate is Alice A. Huffman who has said this is about the way the drug laws have been used to imprison and destroy the futures of young Black and Hispanic Americans disproportional to their population numbers. Bishop Ron Allen seems to have taken it personal and has called for the resignation of Mrs. Huffman. He was also schedule to be a guest on Black Talk Radio Network before cancelling when it was made clear to him that both the pros and cons of legalization would be discussed. Further attempts to communicate with him have gone unanswered. Lets examine his position without him by using his comments made to the mainstream press.

The documented abuse of human beings on modern day plantations and farms across the nation is a direct contradiction to the narrative that many conservative political pundits and Tea Partiers who claim that the election of a black president is proof that we live in a post-racial America. | 7/28/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Tea Party Federation Does The Right Thing - Jul 19,2010 | Breaking News: AP - Mark Williams, the tea party leader who wrote a blog post this week calling the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) racist, has been "expelled" from the National Tea Party Federation. Williams wrote the blog post on Thursday in response to the NAACP's Tuesday declaration accusing the tea party movement of tolerating racist elements in its midst (see The Upshot's rundown on the week of attacks and counterattacks here). It was written as an imaginary letter to President Abraham Lincoln and accused the NAACP of being racist for using the word "colored" in its name. When some reacted to it in outrage, Williams deleted it from his website, declaring it time to "move forward." The National Tea Party Federation apparently decided to move forward without Williams.

Stolen Land, Stolen Legacy - The Story of Harris Neck Georgia - Jul 15,2010 | Check out the petition to return the land. Harris Neck is described as a stunningly beautiful 2,687 acres of meadows, woodlands, freshwater ponds and marsh. It has been a national wildlife refuge since 1961 and was once the home of proud hardworking former slaves. These former slaves built a prosperous and self-reliant community comprised of about 75 African American families. In the summer of 1942 everything changed when the Federal Government condemned their property and took it out from under their feet. The Gullah/Geechee people are the descendants of West African slaves who through hard work and determination became self reliant. They had their own seafood processing plants, schoolhouse, general store and firehouse and were living the American dream until America once again proved to be a nightmare that continues to this day. Tonight we are joined by members of the Harris Neck Land Trust, Wilson Moran and David Kelly who are attempting to reclaim their stolen property and bring this nightmare to an end. | 7/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Demanding Release of the Aiyana Jones Video - Jun 11,2010 | 7 yr-old Aiyana Jones was asleep on a coach with her grandmother when Police looking for a murder suspect targeted the wrong flat of a two-family home in Detroit, Mich and ending up killing her. The result was the death of Ayinana Jones who was shot through the top of her head. An A&E film crew who was filming for the the TV program "First 48". Many believe that the video footage shoot by the film crew will reveal exactly what happened as some witnesses allege that the Detroit police after throwing a flash-bang grenade through the window which burned Ayiana, shot into the house before entering. The attorney for the Jones family is alleging a police cover-up and outraged citizens are calling for the video to be made public. A petition was set up by concerned citizen Issac Holloway, "Its is the aim of this petition to raise awarness and pressure Detroit to Release the Video. See Petition, Click Here. From Isaac Holloway: I am 22 years old with a degree in political science from Virginia Commonwealth University. At VCU I became a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc and I was active in serving the campus and local community. The case of Aiyana Jones is yet another example of law enforcements disregard for black life. Unfortunately what the black community has neglected to do was begin to take serious steps to safeguard our communities from we know to be a hostile force. Aiyana's case is about galvanizing us to be more active in policing the police and holding them responsible for their actions against us. Releasing the video taken by the 48 hours film crew will show exactly what happened in term of what the police knew prior to entering the Jones residence how that entry was conducted as well as providing a timeline and a means to prove the statements given by the police and the family. | 6/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Rev Issac Hayes A Republican for Congress Discusses His Platform and Issues Facing Black Communities - May 20,2010 | Rev. Isaac Hayes is running for Congress as a pro life Republican. He is challenging incumbent Jesse Jackson Jr. for the seat representing Illinois District #2. Jesse Jackson Jr., whose father has been the butt of many jokes and a favorite target of conservative pundits, Hayes is accusing Rep. Jackson Jr. of being a corrupt politician who has steered campaign money to his wife under different alias. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s name came up in the scandal involving President Obama's former senate seat and he has not been indicted on any charges. President Obama and the Democrats are off to a strong finish in the context of passing several pieces of reform legislation leading into the 2010 Congressional Elections. The recently passed Health Care legislation will be a point of contention with Republicans with some pledging a vote to repeal what the have deemed Obama-care. Jesse Jackson Jr. is proud of his yes vote for the people of District 2 and says that health care reform was historic and will lead to 30 million more Americans being insured. Rev. Isaac Hayes has some interesting views when it comes to taxes and the Black community. He believes there should be tax incentives to attract new businesses in underdeveloped urban communities. We will also be asking him about the Republican effort and the initiative the RNC Chairman Michael Steele set forth to attract Black voters to the party. Hayes says he is part of that effort but it has to make that job difficult when Chairman Steele is telling college students that Black people have no reason to support the Republican Party.

Kiesle had been sentenced to three years' probation in 1978 after pleading no contest to charges of lewd conduct for tying up and molesting two boys. The priest was defrocked in 1987 and convicted in 2004 of molesting a young girl in 1995. | 4/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

FOX News Complicit In Fraud against ACORN / Palin Speaking Fee under Investigation - Apr 09,2010 | California Attorney General Jerry Brown has concluded the investigation into ACORN. Attorney General Brown’s investigation came to the same conclusion as the report issued by former Maryland AG Scott Harshbarger, that ACORN employees acted unprofessionally, lacked leadership training but not do anything illegal. Political correspondent Devin Barber writes on Gather.com: “FOX News is guilty of airing a major story without checking the authenticity of that story. And what was FOX’s response to this revelation? (Insert crickets chirping sound effect.) That’s right… nothing. No producers fired, no resignations, and no anchors being handed their hat. The reason is because FOX is NOT a legitimate news agency. What it is, is a sleazy tabloid entity that exploit’s the easily inflamed fringe of the Republican Party. And they could care less about things like ethics and honor.” Read More Barber has also reports that FOX News Corps owner, Australian national Rupert Murdoch, said that “Fox News Should Not Be Supporting the Tea Parties”. “During an interview with Marvin Kalb at the National Press Club, the founder and CEO of FOX News, Rupert Murdoch, answering a question from a member of the audience, said that FOX News should not be supporting the TEA Party or any other Party. The unidentified audience member had cited the blatant and overt promotion of the TEA Party taking place on his news network and asked if a news agency should be so political.” Californiawatch.org is reporting that Brown is investigating the terms of a speaking fee arrangement between Sarah Palin and an education foundation. | 4/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

We get it; statistics don’t lie. We see them staring us in the face, and they could make everyone think the future is full of gloom and doom. Sure, statistics expect that one in three girls in the U.S. will become pregnant at least once before age 20, and nearly 20,000 young girls in North Carolina between ages 10 to 19 may become pregnant next year. But we’re Borrowed Pieces, and we’re not statistics!” In an effort to give teens an opportunity to make their voices heard and be part of the solution making process instead of part of the problem, Borrowed Pieces Inc. is hosting the "I AM TEEN" conference and plans to carry its message across the state of North Carolina. NC Rep. Jean Butterfield speaks to a group of young ladies for Borrowed Pieces.

An attorney for the victims family, James Bible in a press conference asked “if this young lady had blonde hair and blue eyes” would police officers had reacted differently?

Why Are Conservative Groups Going So Hard After Acorn?

Earlier this month, a New York Judge ordered all of Acorn’s federal funding be restored. Now how could that happen, unless Congress acted out of ordered when it passed its knee jerk Defund Acorn Act? Why would a conservative group spend money to target ACORN just months away from the 2010 Population Census Count? I think it is obvious considering the importance of the decennial event.

The Homeless Need Help and So Does Adam Lambert and Our Youth - Nov 28,2009 | If you have problems tuning in to this broadcast, please click here to listen. Sign Petition To FCC The American Music Awards was laced with profane language but the media buzz and public conversation has centered most on Lambert’s indecent performance. Youth tend to be more acceptable of most programming they see on television because they are for the most part, not mature enough to perceive the impact of certain kinds of media on their perceptions. But when you have 16-yr-olds commenting on the performance saying things like “"It was kind of really dirty and sexual, I would say," and "His fans are going to be like, 'What are you doing?' ", every responsible adult and parent in our society should take note and take action. Scotty Reid, Founder of the Black Talk Media Peoject chats with Mr. William Sermons of the National Alliance To End Homelessness, he is the Director of the Homelessness Research Institute and his areas of expertise include cross-disciplinary research, program evaluation and performance improvement. They discuss the plight of homeless veterans, families and other people and the need to provide them with services. We also discussed President Obama's goal to end homelessness for veterans and the 1.5 billion in stimulus money he earmarked for this effort. | 11/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Adam Lambert’s Big “Gay” AMA Show - Nov 25,2009 | Click Here To Tune In IF Having Trouble The American Music Award's constantly shows the world why America is known as the "Great Satan" with tasteless, vulgar and profane performances and comments from artists. The entire music industry and its related television programming are in the gutter just like its sales and ratings. This is just another example of corporate media's agenda to vulgarize and brutalize our society. ABC, owned by Disney and Dick Clark are playing both sides of the media fence. Who ever is in charge of rating public television programs and gave this a TV14 rating should be fired. A vast majority of people who have responded to polls felt that Adam Lambert's performance was too much for television with must of his apologist being either homosexuals or children to young and immature to render an informed opinion. Some people are trying to make this an issue of discrimination against gays while others are trying to make it about race citing rap music. The point is, the show was rated TV14 and based on this year's program and past programs, has no place on the public airwaves. Yet while many are complaining about this year's program, they are not doing it to the right people. Therefore, we ask that you sign a petition to the President, Congress members and the FCC to fine ABC for broadcasting obscenity and vulgarity on public TV.

The Prosecution of Former NFL Defensive Lineman Leonardo Carson - Nov 21,2009 | Technical Issues - To Listen to This Podcast On BTRN Click Here Call In Number: 1-218-862-7200 ext: 629990 Was this a waste of taxpayer’s resources? While violent Mexican Drug Cartels were setting up shop in cities and rural communities across the nation, why did the FBI set up surveillance on Leonardo Carson for 5 years and why did they not have anymore evidence to produce than the testimony of two admitted drug dealers with something to gain by testifying against Mr. Carson? Did the FBI offer Mr. Carson a “deal” if he gave false testimony against former Alabama Judge Herman Thomas? Is this standard operating procedure in the FBI Mobile, Alabama branch? Mr. Carson was arrested in March of 2009 and accused of trafficking in cocaine and other drugs using other dealers to distribute the drugs. Carson has maintained his innocence and according to sources, the FBI had little evidence to support their charges. However, his brother Wilbert Carson and another man, Kareem Abdul Cook testified against Leonardo in August and he was convicted largely on their testimony. Family members contend that Leonardo Carson was set up by drug dealers trying to cut a deal with prosecutors. Leonardo’s brother, Wilbert Carson reportedly regrets giving testimony and has tried to commit suicide twice. There are a number of questions remaining about this case as Leonardo waits to appeal his conviction. I hope that we can shed some insight into this case as we hear about these events from Leonardo’s wife, Mrs. Tonya Carson. | 11/20/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Early Morning - Late Night Disscussions - Political and Social Issues - Nov 05,2009 | I'm thinking about the 2010 Census and what it means for all communties but especially communities of color. Does President Obama get credit for stimulus money given to the Black Aids Institute? Why do some Negroes insist the Prez doesn't do anything for Black people? What's their game? Why do Conservatives continue to lie about a variety of issues? I heard Pastor Huckabee tell bald faced lies about the openess of the health care debate on Capitol Hill. Will talk about whatever else comes to my mind on this informal, unprofessional vent session. By the way, don't trust corporate media and definitely always question Internet Bloggers and Talkers who don't do five minutes worth of topical research. | 11/5/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Corporate Media Promoting A Culture of Corruption - Lil Wayne, Lil Boosie Going To Prison, SouljaBoy - Oct 26,2009 | Black Talk Radio Network™ "New Media for the New Millennium" Lil Boosie pleads to marijuana possession and gun charges and will spend one year in prison, will Warner Brothers still release and promote his album? Lil Wayne pleads to felony gun charges, will spend one year in prison and his record company which he has been with since he was a teen, says it will stand by his side. SouljaBoy gets arrested at a video shoot at an abandoned house and thinks its all a joke or maybe it was a publicity stunt involving other teens. Some say rap music has nothing to do with leading our youth down the wrong path that ultimately will end in prison or death. How much of an impact does it have on youth. Who has a bigger influence on our youth, Pop culture or Parents? 11-year-old Jonathan McCoy is out to abolish the n-word. In a Youtube video that has gone viral he says "It is implausible that 40 years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., that we still use this word that holds no worth in our lives and our future." Mmmmm….could the wide use and acceptance of the n-word have anything to do with Rap music, the FCC and the recording industry?

Why is the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders Boycotting 2010 Census? - Oct 23,2009 | The National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders is calling for a boycott of the 2010 Census. Is this a right wing group helping Conservatives? Minorities are said to be under counted when a Republican is in the oval office. USA TODAY reports: The crackdown on illegal immigrants at the border and in the workplace may deter the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants from participating. Although most Hispanic rights groups support participation in the Census, the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders is urging a boycott to pressure lawmakers to change laws and create ways for illegal immigrants to gain legal status. The group claims that undocumented immigrants do not benefit politically or economically from being counted in the Census. Is this true? It is well know that undocumented workers can not participate in elections by voting but do they benefit economically? Do undocumented immigrants children go to school? Do undocumented immigrants use police, fire, medical and transportation services in the communities in which they live? Is CONLAMIC asking documented Hispanic immigrants and Americans of Hispanic descent to boycott the Census also? These are some of the questions we will attempt to ask Rev. Miguel Rivera who is the chairman of CONLAMIC. If illegal immigrants are not counted in the Census, how will this have a negative impact on the communities in which they live? Should residents of Black communities care? Megan Williams is reportedly recanting her story about being rape, tortured and abused at the hands of a White west Virginia family. Besides having a mental disability, Megan Williams bore the physical evidence of her ordeal and perhaps is lying now. Why blame Al Sharpton?

Princess Nell Nell, is on a mission to clean up music for children one song at a time. She started this personal movement in response to her parents refusal to let her listen to the popular rap/hip hop songs. The songs were laden with profanity and adult sexual themes. So JZau-Nelle asked her mother to make up different words that went along with the beat of the songs. She began rapping the songs with the different words. She became so good at it her mother decided to allow her to sing it for others. JZau-Nelle wanted other children to hear their favorite songs in a different light, a clean one. Other children not only applauded her efforts, they absorbed it. Wherever she went to perform, more and more children would be there to see her. She embarked on a Boys and Girls Club tour to reach as many children as possible. Children from New York to Deep South Alabama were being reached by clean music. Children from the West Coast reached out to JZau-Nelle through email and personal letters. Parents inquired about Princess Nell Nell next performance and appearances. Finally the first contact came from Europe. This solidified it. This was bigger than JÃZau-Nelle. This is a movement to clean up rap music. | 10/19/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Rev Sharpton Publishes Article About Youth Violence On A Website That Promotes Gangster Rappers - Oct 08,2009 | National News and Views with Scotty Reid broadcasts on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10pm Est. Rev Al Sharpton pens an article "The Violence Must Stop!" published on News One, a website he is now a featured writer on but does he know about the inappropriate content promoted to youth under the BlackPlanet.com brand of which News One is a part of? Their Terms of Service say they target users ages 14 yrs old and up. Am I saying Rev Al should not be associated with the BlackPlanet family, no, I am saying he should become aware of what they stand for and what they promote to our youth and use his influence, if he has any with them, to address the issues with content inappropriate for our youth. I caught a public radio program called Charlotte Talk doing a segment called "Drug Interdiction in North Carolina". I was appalled at the propaganda about marijuana being spewed by Charlotte's Assistant District Attorney Heather Taraska who made excuses for alcohol while demonizing marijuana. The host did a good job in asking the tough questions related to prison overcrowding, draining tax payers to pay for the privatized prison industrial complex and the fact that the State of North Carolina is a drug dealer. Did you know the Bible is being re-written by Conservatives to remove or re-word "liberal" passages. The conservative media talks a lot about the radicalization of Islam but are Conservatives trying to radicalize the right wing brand of Christianity more than it already is? Can you trust corporate mainstream media? Duh, No! The Washington Times and Fox Noise caught publishing lies about ACORN and Kevin Jennings Last but not least we will discuss the "Strange Circumstances Surround The Disappearance of Mitrice Richardson" and what is the purpose does it serve to inform the public that she may or may not be a lesbian?

Why Blacks, Latinos and Whites Must Defend ACORN - Oct 01,2009 | Rebroadcast of National News and Views Defend ACORN – There is an all out assault against ACORN, a community based organization that registered over one million people to vote in 2008 that were primarily poor African Americans and Latinos. The United States Congress passed unconstitutional legislation specifically targeting ACORN based on illegally obtained and possibly edited video by admitted racist James O’Keefe. James O’Keefe admitted he targeted ACORN because it registered poor African Americans and Latinos who tended to choose Democrats over Republicans. The admitted racist James O’Keefe may be part of a larger and wider effort by right wing Conservatives to disenfranchise minorities by seeking to suppress their votes along with Fox News and other right wing outlets. Speaking of Fox News, the propaganda machine built by Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes, should Fox be mentioned in the same sentence as the word News? Not According to Media Matters Eric Burns. Black Conservative Star Parker says that "Some Blacks Now Have Doubts About Obama". Note to Star Parker and Black Conservatives: Blacks Have Doubts About Black Conservatives. Just in case you thought we are not fair and balanced, are Conservatives being hit with the bait and switch?

Waste Dumping In The Historic Black North Carolina Community of New Hill in Wake County - Sep 11,2009 | Tonight we are joined by members of the New Hill Community, Rev. James Clanton and Mr. Louis Powell to discuss this issue. Sommer Brokaw of The Triangle Tribune writes: A black community is in close proximity to a proposed sewage treatment plant designed mostly to benefit other areas surrounding them. The site would impact 231 residents, over 75 percent African-Americans, according to the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, a Durham-based multidisciplinary group that promotes justice. The proposed Western Wake County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant would serve the growing needs of Apex, Cary, Morrisville and Holly Springs as well as the Wake County portion of Research Triangle Park south to the year 2030. But black residents near the site say they are bearing the burden of the towns dumping their waste on them without getting the benefit of clean water/sewer lines. Site 14 is adjacent to a black community in New Hill, an unincorporated town near the Shearon Harris nuclear power plant in western Wake County. The New Hill Historic District, on the National Register of Historic Places since 2001, includes two churches – New Hill Baptist Church, built in 1888, and New Hill First Baptist Church, built in 1910, and other buildings with Colonial Revival-style architecture. "I think they need to select another site other than site 14 because that site adjoins our property. It's pretty much in our backyard. The only thing that separates our property from that site is a little creek," said Edna Horton, a resident who has lived in New Hill for over 30 years. Horton, who uses well water, said she is concerned about waste water contaminating the groundwater if there's a spill. | 9/11/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Opposition To President Obama's Speech Shows Deep Seeded Hatred & Racism Among Conservatives - Sep 09,2009 | Exploring the reasoning behind the overly strong opposition by so-called Right Wing Conservatives and many Republicans, to allow school children to watch a education speech given by President Obama. Many repeated the same talking points of conservative propagandist on the public airwaves who said the President was out to "indoctrinate" their children to liberal socialist/communist agenda. Were these legitimate concerns or just cover for the racist feelings they really hold in their hearts for a President who no longer shares their skin color? In one North Carolina county, the computer servers went down minutes before the President was to speak and conspicuously came back online after the speech was over. Right wing conservative host Tara Servatius, after being hit with calls in support of the speech decided to change the topic and refused dodged a question about whether or not she and other conservatives have a problem with military recruiters having access to their children with out parental consent. These racist attitudes being passed on to children were evident in some of the calls made to Obama hater Tara Servatius show by children. After a caller suggested that children were not viewing President Obama's speech in the partisan political manner that their parents were making it, right wingers prompted their children to call in and a few made obvious racist comments directed at inner city youth. Of course this was all encouraged and applauded by Tara Servatius. President Obama did leave one important message out of his education speech by not addressing the widespread cheating among so-called "high-achievers" in high school and college. "In some studies, up to 80 percent of high-achieving high school students and 75 percent of college students admit to cheating, a percentage that has been rising the past 50 years." | 9/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Curious Case Of Former Alabama Judge Herman Thomas - Sep 05,2009 | DSL/Broadband Listeners Click Here Herman Thomas at the age of 29 years old was the youngest judge appointed to the District Court in Alabama in 1990. In the same year, Herman Thomas would later be the first Black judge to win an at large seat on the bench in what was described as a hotly contested election. In 1996, Judge Herman Thomas was nominated to become the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama by President Clinton but was not appointed to the office. Judge Thomas has been recognized for his work with the community through intervention programs and award winning work with 100 Black Men-Greater Mobile, which is non-profit organization. In 2006, two-white Circuit Judges made allegations that Judge Thomas was involved in a criminal drug enterprise using alleged drug dealers who appeared in his court to run the operation. The Judges would later give an interview to an Alabama paper alleging Judge Thomas owned a fleet of 17 luxury vehicles but like the previous allegations, Judge Thomas was investigated and all allegations were determined to be false. Now Judge Thomas is being accused by the same Judges, according to his defense team, of having improper sexual relationships with fifth-teen inmates. In 2009, Judge Thomas was indicted on 57 counts with charges ranging from ethics violations to kidnapping, extortion, sex abuse and s****y. There is also a question about whether Judge Thomas is being convicted before trial by the Alabama and national Media coverage of the case. Join Scotty Reid, former Alabama Judge Herman Thomas and his attorney Attorney Bob "Cowboy" Clark will make their case of his innocence on One Black Man’s View at 10pm Est., 9:00pm Est. and 8:00 pm Pst. | 9/4/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Holding The Hip Hop Industry Accountable and Returning Hip Hop To Its Roots - Aug 30,2009 | Today's Guests: Attorney Lauren P. Raysor & The Regiment DSL/Broadband Listeners Click Here "Following the second anniversary of the shooting of her client, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, by rap and hip-hop artist Remy Ma, attorney Lauren P. Raysor announced on August 24 that she is asking all record companies to include a "morality clause" in their contracts with new artists. Ms. Raysor says this will act as an incentive for these artists not to engage in violent or criminal activity and also provides protection for these artists from other people who may intend to inflict great harm on them." Modern day hip hop has become a battleground where blinged out messiahs of materialism have often gained the upper hand, but MCs OSI and IseQold of the Regiment are the positive force for change in music. OSI had originally formed the Regiment as a vehicle to showcase his skills along with those of his partner C. Reid. Based in Detroit, they had done several shows locally before being selected to be part of the Rawkus 50, a compilation selected by Rawkus Records that represented a who’s who of today’s hottest emerging Hip Hop artists. The project was a success and the Regiment stood alongside some of the best upcoming hip hop in the nation. And while that would’ve been enough for some, OSI was wanting more. After the departure of Reid, OSI connected with IseQold, another Detroit MC who also shared a desire to make music that could speak to more than the materialistic. | 8/30/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Not good but he's trying
Don't really agree with his opinions, but at least he has one. A little less rambling and more concise points and it will be enjoyable. Should get better with time.
