Wake up Call Show

Wake up Call Show

We need to hold legislatures accountable when they do wrong and break the rules and sham the people. We should not reward them. How can you reward Gov Palin in the wake of troopergate and the dishonesty and unethical behaviour. Are we looking for trouble? You would trust her to run this country when she has been found guilty of corruption while serving as Governor in the State of Alaska? How can you trust Mccain when he was one of the five senators involved in the Keaton Scandal that cost taxpayers, governemnt lots of money and cost countless of people thier retirement, and livlihood. People suffered as a result of Mccain's good old boy scandal. We should not allow thies crooks into the White house when they have already proven to us from past experiences how they have put this country last not first. How can we be so blinded by the cameras, action, the act of those who only use polished words and lies, hatred to destroy us. We have seen in the past through the civil rights era the hatred and divisiveness that was used by wicked men and now this similiar strategy being used by Mccain/Palin to instigate this same national terrorism. Just listen careful and you well see that Mccain does not fall far from that tree. Our economy is unstable and as if that wasn't enough now Mccain and Palin continues to ensue aggression and instigate anger, and fear where lunatics, radicals scream out hateful rederick to destablize our national security. Then to add insult to injury Mccain turns around and acts like he is being victimize after being called on the carpet about his hatred and irresponsibilty to host decent political campaigns. Palin cant even maintain control at these rallies nevermind this country. People are screaming out Kill Obama at these rallies like a 60s lynch mob. Instead of Mccain/Palin denounce or utilizing thier security he commend these individual and praises them during his debate tonight. What bigots, and how disgusting. These two do not represent America or country first. Palin should go back to Alaska and keep hanging out with her buddies Bill Ayers and Steve Stalle, and we will talk more about Mccains connection on the Wake Up Call show shortly. No apology should be given by Obama or Senator Lewis. We have to start acting like the head and not tail. You dont see Mccain apologizing for nothing no matter how wrong. We can talk about flag pins on one hand, call out Michelle Obama and host baby daddy talks, where is Michelle Malkin now on the Palins daughter baby daddy drama. We need to respect ourselves and stop always trying to go along get along when we know these folks are dead wrong. Why do we need thier approval? One thing I will say about Joe Biden has been dead on point and in your face with truth. More time and talk needs to be devoted towards the issues that American are facing with healthcare, outsourcing of american jobs, environment, alternative energy, etc. Mccain should be ashamed of ever speaking of himself as a hero. He does not represent America. He represents terrorist. Furthermore no more questions need to be asked about the citizenship of Obama who by the way was born in Hawaii and Mccain in the Panama Canal. Hawaii is one of our 52 by the way just like ALASKA. How about Panama Canal? Last time I checked that wasnt part of american soil. I am sure citizenship was addressed when SENATOR Obama ran for senate. Have some respect people. Those of you that cant see through Mccain/Palin probally couldnt see anything wrong with separate toilets, separate water fountains or the term "that one" as a human being was sold like cattle. Quite faking the funk if your mind and heart was really open minded and right you would see the spirit Hitler in the body of Mccain. I say keep Hitler/Mccain out of power

    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.

    Mr. T. West of Collective Action Round Table joins Scotty Reid of the Black Talk Radio Network to discuss recent events pertaining to the U.S. Afghanistan occupation. General McChrystal says up to 40,000 additional troops are needed or the mission in Afghanistan will fail. What exactly is the mission in Afghanistan? President Obama rejects requests from McChrystal and the a former Commander who is now the Ambassordor to Afghanistan agrees with the President. The President also told the Harmid Karzai that we will not simply prop up a corrupt government. C.A.R.T.



    With heroin use on the rise in America and Afghanistan is the number one supplier in the world. Frequently the American people have been told that drug money funds terrorism and the Taliban, why isn’t their a scorch earth policy towards the poppy fields of Afghanistan?

    Fox New's Sean Hannity Forced To Admit Propaganda Piece



    Ok, well maybe he did not exactly admit that he was caught red-handed promoting propaganda in relation to health care reform legislation, but of course a liar isn't going to come all the way clean.

    After the Daily Show's Jon Stewart and his team exposed the fake footage used on Hannity's program to make it seem like more people turned out for a rally against health care reform by mindless tea baggers and racists who do what people on television tell them to do against their own best interest, Sean Hannity claims it was a mistake, yeah right.
     

    Roger Ailes who runs the cable news network for Rupert Murdoch is the modern day Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda master, is known for his race baiting programming.

     

    Color of Change Petition:

    Please sign the petition to Murdoch, and ask your friends and family to do the same: http://www.colorofchange.org/murdoch/

    While Beck is the worst offender on the Fox News Channel, the network has a long, deep history of engaging in inflammatory racial rhetoric: attacking Black leaders, Black culture, and Black institutions. and a number of Murdoch's recent business decisions suggest that he is consciously building a media empire -- at Fox News and elsewhere -- that attracts viewers by appealing to racial fear and paranoia.

    Last month, Murdoch put Don Imus (fired from MSNBC for his infamous "nappy headed hos" comment) back on television on the Fox Business Network and a few weeks ago, Murdoch personally fired Marc Lamont Hill -- one of Fox News' few black commentators -- in response to a racially charged smear campaign led by a News Corp shareholder, who said Hill has "reputation of defending cop killers and racists."

    Murdoch's right-hand men Murdoch chooses his employees carefully, and his agenda is obvious when you look at the people he's chosen to run his media organizations.

    Roger Ailes, the president of Fox News, made his name by using racial paranoia to propel Republican politicians to victory, starting in the 60s. He engineered key elements of Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy, and a notorious race-baiting ad campaign that helped the first President Bush defeat Michael Dukakis. Ailes was also the executive producer of Rush Limbaugh's failed television show.

    Another News Corp property, the New York Post, led by Col Allan, also has a troubling record on race.

    Earlier this year, the Post caused an uproar after printing a cartoon that appeared to depict President Obama as a dead monkey, covered in blood after being shot by police. Instead of taking the widespread critical response to the cartoon seriously, Allan issued a short, insensitive statement that took no responsibility, and attacked critics of the cartoon.

    Last month, the Post fired a Latina editor, Sandra Guzman, apparently as retaliation for having spoken out against the cartoon when it was published. Guzman is now suing News Corp, the newspaper, and Allan. She says that the Post is a "hostile work environment where female employees and employees of color have been subjected to pervasive and systemic discrimination and/or unlawful harassment based on their gender, race, color and/or national origin." Guzman says that Col Allan and others at the paper routinely made inappropriate sexual and racial comments. She also says that the paper's D.C. bureau chief told her that the Post's goal was to "destroy Barack Obama."

    Holding Murdoch, Beck and Fox News accountable When Murdoch publicly endorsed some of Beck's most inflammatory comments, it seemed he was making it very clear that he approves of Fox's race-baiting. Now, apparently after realizing how damaging it would be for him to publicly support the rhetoric that cost Glenn Beck 80 advertisers, he's trying to backpedal. But Murdoch is not willing to distance himself from Beck either.

    He knows that he could face a backlash from Fox's viewers if he appears critical of the racially charged programming that attracts many of them to the network in the first place. So Murdoch wants to have it both ways -- he wants to build a network that makes money by pandering to racial fear and paranoia, but he doesn't want Fox to be seen as cable's home for race-baiting.

    We can't let him get away with it. Murdoch made a mistake by speaking too openly about what he and his media organizations stand for. He rarely makes mistakes like this, and we need to seize the opportunity to expose Fox's problem with race. It starts by demanding that Murdoch explain what he meant, and be clear about whether or not race-baiting is part of the program at Fox.

    He may or may not respond, but if enough of us speak out, we can create a conversation that makes it clear who is ultimately responsible for Fox's race-baiting. It's just one step in starting to bring some accountability to the leadership of Fox News and News Corp -- but it's an important one. Join us in calling out Rupert Murdoch, and ask your friends and family to do the same. It only takes a minute: http://www.colorofchange.org/murdoch/

    The Marijuana Decriminalization Debate Heats Up

    Creative Commons Image by Editor B


    By Scotty Reid

    While the national health care reform debate is front and center on the national stage, another debate is quietly heating up. This debate centers on whether or not marijuana should be decriminalized. The State of California, which already has legalized use for medicinal purposes, has at least three initiatives that are collecting signatures to qualify for the ballot in 2010. If these decriminalization initiatives make it onto the 2010 ballot and approved by voters, decriminalization could become the centerpiece of national debate. On August 24, 2007, a medicinal marijuana user asked then Senator Obama, if States moved to legalize marijuana, would it be wrong for him to go to prison for using something his State has decriminalized. President Obama’s answer was that he would not direct the Justice Department to prosecute or conduct raids on medical marijuana facilities, as “it’s not a good use of federal resources”. While then Senator Obama said he would not use federal resources to go after facilities, he did not say if individual medicinal users would be prosecuted. With the very strong possibility of total decriminalization in California coming possibly in 2010, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have a federal policy decision to make.

     Advertisement

    President Bill Clinton admitted using marijuana, but disingenuously claimed he did not inhale, President Obama has also admitted that he smoked and inhaled marijuana in attempts to self medicate. With America leading all nations in incarceration of its citizens, a large majority have been convicted of simple drug possession. The cost to taxpayers to house these prisoners has been tremendous and the War on Drugs, which has been raging since the Nixon administration, has done nothing to reduce marijuana use or stop it from entering the country. With hundreds of billions spent during the past three decades, if law enforcement was under a results oriented contract, I suspect they would have long ago had those contracts canceled.

    Sherwood Ross reports that 800,000 Americans are busted annually for possessing marijuana alone. This is a huge drain on law enforcement, the court system and taxpayers. Ross wrote that “every 36 seconds” someone is arrested “on marijuana charges, with a record 872,000 arrests made in 2007”. One thing should be pointed out that he does not cover in his article and that is the fact that the private prison industry is booming in America with many politicians owning stock in these corporations.

    In 2008, Dick Cheney was named in a criminal indictment reported as a stockholder in the Vanguard Group, a private prison company. Members of Congress were found to be invested in companies that were awarded military contracts and I am sure that many who are against decriminalization of marijuana hold financial stake in the prosecution, conviction and incarceration of citizens under current state and federal laws. I believe before any honest debate on the issue can be had, public officials must reveal any such ties to the prison industry.

    Corporate Media Promoting A Culture of Corruption II - Parents Television Council Takes Aim At Gossi

    This Sunday on Black Teen Empowerment Radio we are doing Culture of Corruption II. You may or may not be aware of the media buzz surrounding the upcoming episode of "Gossip Girls" on the CW network but the Parents Television Council wants you to know that it does not find the program to be suitable for family viewing.

    Time: November 8, 2009 from 3pm est to 4:30pm est
    Location: Black Talk Radio Network Internet Outlets
    Phone: 1-218-862-7200 ext 629990


    Our special guest this Sunday will be Melissa Henson who is the Director of Communication and Public Education for the Parents Television Council.

    PTC Summary of Gossip Girls:

    Production Companies: 17th Street Productions
    Producers: Bob Levy, Josh Schwartz, Leslie Morganstein, and Stephanie Savage Creators:

    Josh Schwartz Sex continues to be the main source of concern for parents. The show conveys the message that sex is a tool used to manipulate people. Real consequences are non-existent in this fantasy world and the characters play musical chairs with their sex-partners, but suffer no physical or psychological ramifications. Though graphic simulated sex scenes are only sprinkled throughout the season, there are plenty of provocative kissing scenes, erotic situations, and skimpy clothing. Drugs and alcohol are omnipresent on the show though none of the characters are legally old enough to drink. Read More

    Early Morning - Late Night Disscussions - Political and Social Issues

    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.
