Politicians and press people are virtually for hire to the biggest corporate bidder. Thus politics and media news outlets become multi-billion dollar industries. Moreover, they become industries that feed on each other, as politicians buy millions of dollars worth of commercials, and of course, TV and cable outlets make big bucks by selling ads.

When Obama speaks (especially in his post-primary incarnation) one hears a profound nationalism. He has spoken in the past of an American history that many of us know has never actually existed. It has forced him to denounce a man he once knew, admired and respected (here I speak, of course, of the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright) for making whites uncomfortable by speaking ugly truths about American history, at home and abroad. Is this but the necessary shifts occasioned by the nasty game of politics? Or is it the road occasioned by one being an outsider, making that transition to the consummate insider? Time will tell. Mumia Abu-Jamal's Radio Broadcasts

With the news that Nelson Mandela, former South African president, was, until some scant days ago, on a U.S. government terrorist watch list, comes knowledge of how false and political such a process is.
Marking 30 years since the Aug. 8, 1978 police assault on MOVE's home, there are events scheduled for Aug. 8 and 9 supporting Mumia and the MOVE 9.
--AUGUST 8--
Last week, death row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal filed an appeal of a March 27 US Third Circuit Court ruling that rejected his bid for a new guilt-phase trial.
On the 4th of July in Philadelphia, over 75 supporters of Abu-Jamal gathered at the Liberty Bell, including Rebel Diaz, Sundiata Sadiq, and Pam Africa (View Photos and Video). Issue #3 of Abu-Jamal-News was released, spotlighting Freedom Archives, this fall's CR10 conference and NYC Jerchico march, as well as prisoners Ruchell Magee, Hugo Pinell, Leonard Peltier, the SF8, KC5, and Omaha 2 (View PDF).
