While the US media showered the new president with 24-7 adoration, Obama’s deafening silence over the slaughter of innocents by the Israeli war-machine laid bare the cruel calculus of American Empire in the Middle East. Whether by fascist bombers in Spain or the Zionist IDF in Gaza, the US government has never concerned themselves with the butchery of civilians. Also, we present Gary Lapon’s insightful commentary on an article by NYT columnist, Nicholas Kristoff entitled, “Where Sweatshops are a Dream”. We also look back on this day, January 22nd in revolutionary history.

A final goodbye to the worst U.S. President EVER featuring only a few of the many many samples of mixes and music about the Bush Presidency created over the last 8 years.
Featuring:
Wax Audio, 37hz, Scooter, Ministry, 4o Del Tren, Al Jazeera, You Tube, Mike Fix, Cris Rock, Dj Shadow, BCO, DOC, Onion News Network and more. Goodbye George.

Produced mixed by Skidmark Bob

Charles "Boko" Freeman was a member of People's Party II which became the Houston Black Panther Party. He spoke with me in December of 2008 about the struggles of People's Party 2 in Houston and their legacy.

In December of 2008 I interviewed 2 veterans from the Black Power movement in Houston Texas about People's Party 2, a group modeled on the Black Panther Party, which existed from 1970-1971 and was followed by the Houston Black Panther Party which lasted till 1974.

Charles Boko Freeman was a Member of Peoples Party 2 and is currently based in Atlanta. Ester King participated in the Black Power Movement in Houston and continues as a community activist today.

In his Inaugural address, Barrack Obama gave homage to those who "Settled the West" saying they did it "for us." SETTLED THE WEST??? These words glorify those who used bloodshed and terror to force Native American people off the land so it would be open to settlement!

Those who "settled the West" ought to be remembered in the same light as those Israeli settlers who build new settlements in the West Bank of Occcupied Palestine!
