As Ukraine continues its war effort, questions remain about whether the country can ever reconcile its internal divisions—or whether the policies of Hanul and his ideological allies have set Ukraine on a path of permanent conflict. If nothing else, his assassination is a stark reminder that the very forces he helped empower may eventually consume those who once led them.

On and near this day in history…
Never forget. September 11th…September 11th, 1861 when President Lincoln ordered John C. Fremont to rescind his order freeing some slaves in Missouri and issue a new order conforming to the Confiscation Act passed by Congress. Lincoln was the great betrayer and did so over and over. The reason prisoners are called state property is because of this;. “Quote-Unquote.
“With respect to slaves, the act authorized court proceedings to strip their owners of any claim to them but did not clarify whether the slaves were free. As a result of this ambiguity, these slaves came under Union lines as property in the care of the U.S. government. In response to this situation, General David Hunter, the Union Army military commander of Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, issued General Order No. 11 freeing all slaves in areas under his command. Upon hearing of Hunter’s action one week later, Lincoln immediately countermanded the order, thus returning the slaves to their former status as property in the care of the federal government”.
In direct action news.• The RIGHT 2 VOTE CAMPAIGN
Needs your support. It is a nationwide campaign being initiated by people currently confined in the United States. This campaign grew out of the August 21 National Prison Strike Demands, specifically, point #10: The voting rights of all confined citizens serving prison sentences, pretrial detainees, and so-called “ex-felons” must be counted. Representation is demanded. http://sawarimi.org/right-2-vote-campaign• Our Abolitionists in profile tonight is Willis Augustus Hodges, (1815-1890) the publisher of the weekly newspapers, The Ram’s Horn and an Underground Railroad agent. A rare black abolitionist living with “free” status in a slave state. http://www.blackpast.org/aah/hodges-willis-augustus-1815-1890• Our Riders of the 21st-century Underground Railroad today are Anthony Jakes and Robert Bouto. They spent 45 years in prison combined, serving their full sentences before being paroled.
Their cases are just the latest examples of a slew of wrongful convictions costing taxpayers millions of dollars in settlements — and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. https://wgntv.com/2018/04/30/exoneration-project-declares-victory-for-2-more-men/

New Abolitionists Radio is an award-winning weekly radio broadcast and podcast series started in 2012 to bring awareness to legalized slavery and human trafficking in the United States which is inadequately referred to as “mass incarceration”.
The 13th Amendment of the US Consitution did end slavery when it carves out the exception clause that led directly to Jim Crow laws across the country, primarily in the South to target the large African-American populations the vast majority who were formerly enslaved and put them into what became known as the convict leasing system which is still in practice in less barbaric ways than in the 1800s. Because of the 13th Amendment, all persons of every age, sex, gender, race, religion or national origin can legally become of slaves regardless of guilt or innocence.
