  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.

  Corporate Media Promoting A Culture of Corruption - Lil Wayne, Lil Boosie Going To Prison, SouljaBoy

  

  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?
  
  Ty Hobson-Powell is a 14-year-old Howard University student who at the age of 4-years old began to learn Chinese. What does the future hold for this young man of great accomplishments?

  Need 5,000 Signatures To Petition The Feds To Investigate Mitrice Richardson Missing Person Case

  Black Talk Radio Network will re-broadcast live the first interview with Michael Richardson detailing the questionable and negligent actions of the Malibu/Lost Hills law enforcement authorities. After listening to this interview, we hope you will be moved to sign the Change.org Petition. Federal Investigation Called For In Mitrice Richardson Case
  Rewind Michael Richardson Speaks Out

  Black Talk Radio Network™ "New Media for the New Millennium"

  

  

  The missing persons case of Mitrice Richardson, a young African American woman has prompted calls for an federal investigation into her disappearance. A Change.org petition has been created by Nancy Lockhart of Wrongful Convictions and the goal is just 5,000 signatures. The father of Mitrice Richardson was recently on Black Talk Radio's National News and Views to give additional information that had been held back detailing the questionable and possibly negligent actions of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriffs Department. For instance, why did the authorities have possession of Mitrice's purse with credit cards and a bank card when she allegedly was arrested for failure to pay her restaurant bill? When a woman is so anxious to leave as they claim, without her purse, should that not have thrown up red flags? Why did a person who was also being held by the authorities come out and say that she was the only person besides Mitrice in the jail that night if Mitrice was released due to over crowding? What kind of police station or jail allows the video surveillance equipment "run out of tape"? Additional analysis provided by private investigator Mr. Tony Michael Wallace of Internal Surveillance Investigation and Security, Inc. To sign the petition for a Federal inquiry into this case click here.

  Why is the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders Boycotting 2010 Census?

  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? Plus update on Herman Thomas case.

  NewsOne Features The Black Talk Media Project

  The Black Talk Media Project, creators of the Black Talk Radio Network was a featured member earlier this month on the website NewsOne which is part of the Black Planet Family of websites.

  

  It is not like we won the lottery or anything but we are happy that as a start up non profit new media company with very limited resources and volunteers, some people are taking notice of what we are doing. The Black Talk Media Project maintains several blogs and profiles on several networks where we publish our content in order to effectively spread the message of better Black media for the masses.
  
  The president and founder of the Black Talk Media Project, Scotty Reid was surprised to see our profile featured on a website whose content we have been critical of in the past as it relates to youth. Recently we posted a blog on Black Planet about Rev. Al Sharpton becoming a opinion blogger for NewsOne and we suggested that he use his influence to make them aware that they are marketing to youth through Black Planet and should be conscious of the content. However we are appreciative of the recognition by NewsOne staff.
  
  We understand that everyone may not agree with our stance on media and how it is negatively impacting our society but we are trying in a positive way to make parents and youth aware of media influence.
  
  Other News: The Black Talk Media Project recently secured a grant from the Southern Coalition for Social Justice for the purpose of producing media related to the importance of minorities taking part in the 2010 Census.
   

  
  

  We would have done our best to produce the media without the small grant but we are very appreciative of SCSJ for believing in our vision on how to use media to get the message out.
  
  We are also going to begin talks with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund about partnering with them to reach out to the Hispanic community pertaining to the upcoming Census.

  
  

  We look forward to possibly working with them to do our part to make sure our often mixed communities know how important it is to take part in the 2010 Census.
  
  We are a very small non profit organization and we are doing our best to work with limited resources but we could do a lot more if we could get some financial help from our Black Talk Radio Network members. Even if you are only able to give $1 a month, it would go a long way as we know how to stretch a dollar and get the most out of it. If you would like to become a business sponsor please see our Be A Sponsor section.
  
  With your help we could open our first media center for youth in Rocky Mount, NC by next year. We are just beginning to work with some of the Rocky Mount youth in partnership with the Rocky Mount Opportunities Industrial Center which has given us space to use on Saturdays. We would like to have our own building with computers and other media equipment in order to expand our programs for youth in training them on new media technologies and citizen journalism.
  In order for the vision to become a reality, we need your help!

  PRINCESS NELL NELL and KID KJ - CLEAN MUSIC FOR KIDS MOVEMENT

  Originally aired on the Black Talk Radio Network's Black Teen Empowerment Radio.
  
  
  JZau-Nelle, A.K.A. 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.

  Special Guest Dr Leonard G. Horowitz - Is The Swine Flu Vaccine Dangerous?

  Originally aired on Black Talk Radio Network at 1pm Est.
  
  Consumer Advocacy with Harold Cameron welcomes Dr. Lenard G. Horowitz to the program to discuss the issue with the H1N1 Swine Flu Virus and whether or not the vaccine is safe to take.
  
  There has been a lot of attention given to the Swine Flu Vaccine and whether or not vaccination should be mandatory. Some health care workers are resisting being forced to take the vaccination as well as some parents indicating in polls that they will not subject their children to this vaccination for H1N1.
  
  Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz is an internationally known authority in the overlapping fields of public health, behavioral science, emerging diseases, and natural healing. In 1999, he was voted "Author of the Year" by the World Natural Health Organization for his first national bestseller, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? In 2006, he was honored by the World Organization for Natural Medicine as a "World Leading Intellectual." Later that year, he was honored for his global efforts to advance public health and vaccine risk awareness by officials of The Sovereign Order of the Orthodox Knights Hospitaller of Saint John of Jerusalem. Dr. Horowitz received his doctorate from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1977. As a student and faculty member at Tufts, he taught medical and dental histology, graduated with honors, and was awarded a research fellowship in behavioral science at the University of Rochester.
