On December
12, 2011, Bro. Shaka Shakur, a coordinator of the Peoples Survival Program (PSP)
and a respected Bronx & Harlem community activist, was arrested at work
after a taskforce of police agents raided his apartment in the Bronx with a
baseless warrant. In the course of the raid the police also took the opportunity
to violate the home of veteran Black Panther Cyril "Bullwhip" Innis under the
guise of an alleged search for illegal weapons.


This was seen at the
time as another direct attack by the forces of state repression against
those that
both organize in the Black/Latino community and; who fearlessly fight against
both the US Prison Industrial Complex and the racist police terror
conducted daily by the NYPD.


Monday, June
11, 2012 after seven months of organized struggle, and in front of yet
another courtroom packed with supporters; the bogus NYPD weapon charges were
finally dropped against Bro. Shaka.

In addition to the very strong legal defense in this
case, Attorney Michael Tarif Warren pointed out during the victory press
conference that "it was both the Bronx Grand Jury's respect and
appreciation for Shaka's continuing history of community work and especially the
reality of your continuing to pack the court room during any
upcoming jury trial; that ultimately convinced the Bronx District
Attorney's Office that it was in their best interest to drop the bogus NYPD
charges."
 
Bro. Shaka then addressed the crowd of enthusiastic supporters
in reiterating his attorney's analysis that "it was the power of the
people that won this victory for the people; But there are still other
Anti-Police Terror cases to be supported and the struggle still continues."
 
On behalf of Bro. Shaka Shakur and his family, The
Peoples Survival Program would like to thank CEMOTAP for its "Shaka Shakur Legal
Defense Fundraiser"; Activist Attorney Michael Tarif Warren, Esq., his
usual legal prowess inside and outside of the courtroom; and especially for
the friends, family, activists, supporters and true comrades; Who sacrificed
their time by answering the call to help us to "OCCUPY THE
COURT HOUSE & KEEP BRO. SHAKA
FREE"

War in these streets and our soldiers seem to be MIA




DOWNLOAD PODCAST


There is a war going on in these streets and as we just celebrated the birthday of Malcolm X, I would hate to know what he would think about the lack of response of our young women and men being killed in these streets by thug ass murderous cops and thug ass murderous criminals in our communities. Children don't feel safe walking to school let alone going to school and yet there has been very little response from the community to meet the security needs. Union City cops shoot a brother 8 times in the back of the head and we ain't heard nothing from the people about it in corporate media.

How do you feel about the NOI bringing in white men from Scientology to teach their members non-African concepts and spirituality? What the hell is going on with them brothers and sisters? After seeing photos of one of these Scientology creeps taking the podium at a NOI meeting, many people are saying WTF!

An article came out today about the Mexican activist whom brother Malcolm Shabazz was with when he was murdered. It may answer some questions about who this man is but it does not answer the questions about what exactly happen that day and many have problems with his version of events.
 

BTR News: Stop the Genocide Now w/ Carl Dix


DOWNLOAD PODCAST



Tonight revolutionary brother Carl Dix joins the broadcast to inform us about an upcoming event he and Cornel West will be hosting in NYC to stop the maddening mass incarceration going on in the United States.

"Mass Incarceration + Silence = Genocide. Act to STOP it Now!" Monday May 20, 2013, 7:30pm, The Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew 263 W. 86th St (between Broadway and West End Ave), #1 train to 86th, For tickets: 212-691-3345 or online @ http://revolutionbooknyc.org

In 1996, Dix co-founded the October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of Generation. Most recently, Dix has been a central figure in the campaign to Stop "Stop and Frisk" aimed at opposing the New York Police Department's efforts to stop hundreds of thousands of people in New York City and frisk them for weapons, drugs or other items. Dix has long addressed questions about imperialist war, revolutionary struggles and the oppression of Black people.
Other news out of New York pertaining to the NYPD Gestapo & Frisk campaign against Black people. The newly appointed Black Chief of Department wastes no time in fulfilling his duties as a racially showcased weapon of mass confusion as he goes to a white borough to tell them Gestapo & Frisks is not racial profiling.


Keeping it in NYC, a bronx based Hispanic religious organization shows up to the Gestapo Frisk civil trial to show their support for a suspected racist NYPD Deputy inspector caught on tape telling officers to target Black boys and men.
  
 

Republican's outrage over Benghazi is fake



DOWNLOAD PODCAST

Conservatives in Congress just won't let Benghazi go and there is talk about impeaching President Obama concerning lies pertaining to a terrorist attack. Hillary Clinton is another one in their sights but again, this is manufactured outrage as well.  The answer to why four Americans were killed in Benghazi is very simple, tune in for the answer.

Guatemalan dictator and US ally Efrain Rios Montt was found guilty on charges of genocide against Mayan villagers, some are asking if US officials will be charged in connection to their support of genocide in South America. Ronald Reagan staunchly supported this mass murderer and was complicit in many crimes against humanity.


New information on the killing of Malcolm Shabazz brings more questions and suspicions. Two men have been arrested in the murder of the emerging activist but other activist believe the Mexican labor activist Manuel Suarez had something to do with the murder as his story does not pass the smell test.

Today on May 13, 1985, the City of Philadelphia used its police force to commit an act of terrorism against the Move family by dropping a two pound bomb on their home from a helicopter killing several members of the group including children. The resulting fire destroyed over 60 homes.

Racism is not "accidental" it is conscious activity.

This and probably more tonight on Black Talk Radio News.

Mumia, Assata & Malcolm w/ Zayid Muhammad



DOWNLOAD PODCAST
 
Bro. Zayid Muhammad of the People's Organization for Progress joins us to discuss several issues related to political prisoners, exiles and the killing of Malcolm Shabazz.

POP is planning another protest at Cineplex 12, Newark’s only major theater which stirred up controversy after it refused to show the new film titled "MUMIA: Long Distance Revolutionary" which focuses on political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal and his contribution as an author and commentator.

We will also get his thoughts on the recent addition of Assata Shakur to the FBI's most wanted "terrorist" list and the erection of the FBI billboards of Assata in Newark.

Finally we discuss the constantly changing stories coming from the media about the killing of Malcolm X's grandson Malcolm Shabazz who was talked into traveling to Mexico by deported Mexican activist Miguel Suarez who many say has holes in his account of what happened.

On A Move w/ Sis. Pam Africa



DOWNLOAD PODCAST

Join me for Political Prisoner Radio tonight with Sis. Pam Africa to discuss corporate and state sponsored environmental terrorism, seedless veggies possibly destroying the seeds in our wombs, the Newark, NJ cancellation of Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary and more.



Before we hear from Sis. Pam Africa, I want to share an important update about Sis. Assata Shakur as the United States government, perhaps angry at the attention Cuba received after Jay-Z and Beyonce visited the island which caused a new generation to question why the United States has a travel ban on the country, the FBI has double its reward for her capture and placed her on its "most wanted terrorists" list possibly making her a target for President Obama's drone assassination program.

Ambassador Chris Stevens is dead because of US betrayal and state sponsored terrorism

By Scotty Reid, 5/13/2013, news, politics,

The inquiry into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya by conservatives to this point has been little more than an expression of white supremacy and political theater. What the inquiry is saying is that only "American" lives matter and not the lives of the thousands killed in Libya or those that are still being killed and displaced from their homes due to ethnic cleansing by forces backed by the United States. The…
