Commemorating Black History Month: Nina Simone, Musician and Civil Rights Activist Extraordinaire

In commemoration of Black History Month, Phil Taylor plays Nina Simone's Mississippi Goddamn, an inspiring song Nina wrote in response to the 1963 assassination of Medgar Evers and the Birmingham church bombing that killed four young African-American girls. Phil Taylor gives an interesting background of Simone--from her birth in February of 1933, to her parents discovery of her talent, to her first recital where she refused to perform if her parents were removed from the front row, to her studies at Julliard to her participation in the civil rights movement which she considered an historical "watershed" moment and to her death in 2003. Taylor turns to the new film Selma and contrasts the political and humanitarian significance of Selma to the political anti-humanitarian film The American Sniper, about the life of real life sniper Chris Kyle. Taylor points out that MLK was martyered by a sniper who deprived humanity of a great leader, while Chris Kyle was an American sniper in Iraq who deprived humanity of their civil liberties, human rights, culture and life. MLK represented life and hope.

Paul Rusesabagina's indictment of Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame

Guest: Paul Rusesabagina, the humanitarian Rwandan hotel manager who hid and protected 1,268 Hutu and Tutsi refugees during the Rwandan Genocide in April 7 -mid-July of 1994, author of An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography Paul Ruseabagina describes Rwanda President Kagame as a brutal dictator who has created human rights abuses all over the country and who does not want to lose his presidential immunity and face international indictments against him nor does he want to face a new president -- which might be why Kagame has indicated he might violate the Rwandan Constitution and run for another term (another fake election). Ruseabagina emphatically states that the economic miracle performance picture that Kagame paints is false. Kagame has total impunity to lie, forge more wars in the Congo, assassinate both former friends and foes who fled to other countries, imprison thousands, including Victoire Ingabire who has the courage to return to Rwanda in 2010 and run for president.

The End of American Exceptionalism with Andrew Bacevich

“Andrew Bacevich speaks truth to power, no matter who’s in power, which may be why those of both the left and right listen to him.” — Bill Moyers Andrew examines of the triple crisis facing America. An economy in disarray that can no longer be fixed by relying on expansion abroad and a government transformed by an imperial presidency into a democracy in name only and an engagement in endless wars that has severely undermined the nation. Andrew recommends a respect for the limits of power and an aversion to claims of exceptionalism and skepticism of easy solutions, especially those involving force. Andrew is convinced that Americans must live within their means. Source: The End of American Exceptionalism with Andrew J. Bacevich Music includes Brenna Sahatjian - Rise Like Lions, William Valenti - Wall Street Greedheads, The Compassionate Conservatives - In The Garden of Eden (Zinn-Fisk-Nader mix), Hari Kondabolu - 2042 & The White Minority, Jimmy Cliff at Glastonbury 2011 - We Don't Want Another Vietnam in Afghanistan, Capitol Steps - Obama Meets Osama, Jammin Inc - Propaganda, Dala Girls - Best Day, Queen - We Are The Champions, The Beatles- Here Comes The Sun, Philip Glass - Colourbox
