Sekou is a former political prisoner who survived 47 years of incarceration. Throughout the 1960âs, Sekou participated in the Civil Rights movement, organizing youth for participating in demonstrations and marches across Alabama, and providing security for meetings of the Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC), Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Sekou became affiliated with the Black Panther Party in 1967 in Chicago and New York. While in Detroit, he became a member of the Republic of New Afrika, before returning to Birmingham. Back in Alabama, Sekou coordinated community organization activity with the Alabama Black Liberation Front, the Inmates for Action (IFA) Defense Committee and the Afro-American Peopleâs Party in the mid 1970âs. Sekou was also a soldier in the Black Liberation Army (BLA) during these years before his capture.
In 1975, Sekou was falsely arrested and charged with the murder of two white men: a KKK official from Tuscaloosa and a multimillionaire oil man from Birmingham. There was absolutely no evidence against him, only coerced testimony from individuals who subsequently recanted their statements. The judge refused to allow the recanted statements to be stricken from Sekouâs record. Sekou continued the fight throughout his time in Prison. On June 30th, 2014, Sekou was released on parole.

Daniel McGowan:
Daniel is an environmental and social justice activist from New York City. He was charged in Federal court on counts of arson, property destruction and conspiracy, all relating to two actions in Oregon in 2001, claimed by the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). McGowan was facing a minimum of life in prison if convicted when he accepted a non-cooperation plea agreement. His arrest is part of what the US government dubbed Operation Backfire; a coordinated, multi-state sweep of over 15 activists by the federal government who have charged the individuals with practically every earth and animal liberation action in the Pacific Northwest left unsolved. Many have considered this round up indicative of the government's 'Green Scare' focus which has activists being arrested and threatened with life in prison. Many of the charges, including Daniel's, were for crimes whose statute of limitations were about to expire. Daniel was released from prison on December 11, 2012.

John Tucker:
John was one of five antifascists arrested in May 2012, after an altercation between white supremacists and antifascists in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park that left ten injured fascists, three of which needed hospitalization. The case of the Tinley Park 5 received an overwhelming amount of public support. Despite the fact that the meeting was organized by violent white supremacist organizations including the National Socialist Movement, Council of Conservative Citizens, and Ku Klux Klan, the state showed their cozy relationship with white supremacy by refusing the accused antifascist activist bail or a plea deal comparable to any other criminal defendant in Cook County. In January 2013 the Tinley Park Five accepted a non-cooperating plea deal. John Tucker was released in February 2014. As of September 2014, all of the TP5 are released.This audio will air soon as a radio episode.

Kazi Toure:
As a member of the United Freedom Front (UFF), Kazi was imprisoned for his role in 20 bombings combating Apartheid in South Africa and United States Imperialism in Central America. The UFF has been called âundoubtedly the most successful of the leftist [guerrilla groups] of the 1970s and â80sâ and struck powerful blows to South African Airways, Mobil, IBM, Union Carbide, & various courthouses and US Military targets. Toure was convicted on federal charges of possession of firearms, and Seditious Conspiracyâconspiring to overthrow, put down, destroy by force and violence the US government. He is one of few, if any, New Afrikans to be charged of this act.

Right to Exist - Right to Resist
Oct. 31, 2016, 1:41 p.m.
It is fruitless to examine the contemporary economic, political and ecological crisis without the optics of imperialism
and neoliberal capitalism. From Chicagoans demanding an end to police impunity to Sacred Stone Camps water defenders, the police act as agents for the extraction and financial corporations, enablers of ecological violence.
State violence against indigenous peoples, union workers, farmers and students is the norm. The International League of Peoples Struggle US (ILPS) national meeting in Chicago brings those lenses to its analysis, starting with a historical assessment of Imperialism to this present moment by Professor Jose Maria Sison of ILPS and a solidarity statement from Palestinian resistance hero Leila Khaled, both of which which were read.
Next, Jesús RodrÃguez-Espinoza, the Consul General of Venezuela speaks on the importance of international solidarity and Venezuela's anti-imperialist work in support of social justice continuing in spite of the economic and political war directed at it by the US. Frank Chapman speaks on the fight for civilian control over the police in Chicago to end the impunity, bestowed by Chicago's business interests, for criminal acts against people of color and the poor, and to democratically change the nature of policing. Hatem Abudayyeh speaks on behalf of Rasmea Odeh, about the FBI's collusion with Israel to crush Palestinian solidarity work,
intimidate people calling for justice and an end of Israeli Apartheid and closes with an update on the campaign to defend Rasmea Odeh. He explains their organizing successes to date.

(Warning: Rough Language) In another spoken word dispatch by the TheAngryindian, the question is asked: Why is the North American left-wing insistent and some, utterly and totally confused People-of-Colour (below Occupied Canada and above the Republic of Mexico) dead-set on playing political roulette during Election 2016? Is the abject left-wing hatred of Hillary Clinton working, inadvertently, to the propaganda-credit of the GOP fear-wranglers? Does the Progressive Movement even care? Over the past few years, there has been a concerted effort by the so-called âAlt-Rightâ to aggressively co-opt classic Black Power/ Black Liberation motifs as a means of pushing their own far-right, xenophobia pro-Eurosettler agenda. And, unsurprisingly, more than a few far-right, pro-Afrikan; Revisionist Afrocentric âHotepsâ and âBlack Libertariansâ are receptive to their neo-fascist message. The glaring hypocrisy in all of this is obvious, frightening and should not go without comment by those who understand the dangers of extreme politics and the social; economic and spiritual damage such ideas can cause in any civil society.

April - Migrating Duck Return to Mississippi River
Oct. 30, 2016, 10 p.m.
There are few better indicators of springâs return than the arrival of migrating birds, and among the earliest returning migrants are ducks and other waterfowl. The Mississippi River is an important stopover for these birds on their way to their prairie pothole nesting grounds in the Dakotas and adjacent Canadian provinces. See whoâs arriving and the best places in Wisconsin to see them.
April - Frogs Emerge from Hibernation
Oct. 30, 2016, 9:58 p.m.
One of the most awaited harbingers of spring is the mid-April emergence of spring peepers and wood frogs. For the nearly six months of winter, these frogs were hibernating in the forest duff, literally frozen, but now the sudden pandemonium of their calls from their woodland ponds says the frost has left the soil and they have survived another northern winter. Listen to our podcast and see where you can go to greet spring!
April - Common Loons Return to Northern Lakes
Oct. 30, 2016, 9:56 p.m.
Lakes in Wisconsinâs Northwoods average 148 days of ice-cover, so when the ice finally goes off in late April, the return of open water is greeted joyously! Thereâs an icing on this cake, too â common loons almost always return within 24 hours of the iceâs departure, having bided their time mostly on the open water of the Wisconsin River. People watch intently for the loons to arrive, hoping that âtheirâ loon pair will grace their lake for another year. Loon competition for prime lake real estate is so intense that a lake can be only partially open and the loons will land.
April - Northern Pike Migrating
Oct. 30, 2016, 9:54 p.m.
On the other side of Wisconsin, another early spring migration takes place not on but underwater. On the western side of Green Bay, northern pike â large predatory fish that can exceed four feet in length â leave the bay and ascend streams to spawn as soon as the ice is out. Learn where you can see pike performing this ancient spring ritual and some of the challenges they face.
#740 - The Words and Deeds of the US Deep State

We expand on episode 739 with a 1993 recording of retired Airforce Colonel Fletcher Prouty speaking on his experience of the Bay of Pigs operation and on the Vietnam war. Prouty's testimony provides insights into how the early CIA covert operations were run and especially how they were coordinated with other branches of the US government. In our second hour Dave Emory examines evidence suggesting that the Edward Snowden Affair is a deep state operation, intended to corral hacktivists to use deep state-backdoored cryptographic software.
