As co-founder of theOklevueha Native American Church(ONAC), James has several roles through which he attempts to correct some of the damage the war on drugs has perpetrated upon American families. In addition to his role as an American Native Elder Seminole Medicine Man, James serves as the director of the recidivism reduction ‘clergy’ program (Habilitative Programs) of ONAC. In James’s opinion, the war on drugs is presently the largest contributing factor to the disruption of the American family unit. ONAC is dedicated in doing everything in its power to heal the destruction that the war on drugs has perpetrated upon our families.

Tonight I am joined by members of the organization Stop Mass Incarceration. The Stop Mass Incarceration Network is building a movement to stop the injustice of mass incarceration and police brutality; and the racially biased policies and practices of the police, the courts and the U.S. legal system; and to support the rights of prisoners and the formerly incarcerated.

In law school he participated in clinics geared at protecting the legal rights of indigent immigrant clients. Tafari currently works on Rikers Island where he represents New York Parolees in violation proceedings. He sees stop and frisk as initiating  a slow death on the Black and Brown population of NYC.  Noche Lares is one of the young freedom fighter who took up the call from Cornel West and Carl Dix for a campaign of Civil Disobedience targeting the NYPD Stop and Frisk policy as part of raising the level of resistance to Mass Incarceration. Noche is also part of a group of revolutionaries who initiated the People's Neighborhood Patrol in Harlem to stand up against illegal and illegitimate police activity against the people. While he himself has been a victim of Stop and Frisk and other harassment by police, he comes into this struggle in the spirit of Carl Dix, as part of working for revolution to put an end to all oppression.

He says the media and the US Govt is covering up that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was allowed to board the flight without a passport after being denied at the gate but then escorted through by a man in a tan suit.

Haskell recently gave a witness impact statement in the case.

"I will just say that regardless of how the media and government try to shape the public perception of this case, I am convinced that Umar was given an intentionally defective bomb by a U.S. Government agent and placed on our flight without showing a passport or going through security, to stage a false terrorist attack to be used to implement various government policies." - Kurt Haskell

Dr. Donald Wright, author of "The Only Prayer I’ll Ever Pray: Let My People Go" joins me tonight. The book issues a call for Blacks in America to critically examine their loyalty and dedication to religion and adapt a lifestyle centered on rational thinking. Mr. Wright believes it is time to break the chains of mental bondage caused by religious dogma.   To encourage fellowship and community service among Black non-believers, Mr. Wright and others have decided to designate a day of solidarity for Black non-believers. We will discuss this and more on Black Talk Radio News tonight.   As always, I will be taking your calls and reporting your news of the day.
