Tune in today as I continue to speak out against those who enable the messengers of hate while claiming to be against the very things the messengers of hate advocate for against targeted groups. Let us also discuss Big Social Media and Corporate dependency on those platforms by those who rail against Big Social Media and Corporations instead of building and maintaining their own platforms and working with other platform builders to exchange internet traffic. Last week I discussed the senseless violence in the Black community and talked about solutions to get the street gangs to stop the violence towards one another and the communities they live in. Today, I am happy to report a little good news on that front. That and more on BTR News tonight at 6 pm est!

Tune in to BTR News at 6 pm EST for some of the day's news and commentary. Today I will discuss the reactionary behavior of some on the left who are basically defending Alex Jones's supposed right to spread BS conspiracy theories, defame people, spread religious bigotry and engage in a codified form of racism/white supremacy. In war, some of the goals of the military is to disrupt your enemies communications, destroy his ability to disseminate propaganda, to communicate with his troops in the field so how much sense does it make for those on the ideological left to make half-baked arguments in defense of Jone's supposed free speech rights on private platforms?

This and more news tonight!

Singer Eric Benét started a conversation on the harmful lyrics in rap music and charges rappers with promoting misogyny, glorifying materialism, drug abuse and black on black violence.

In an Instagram post this week Benét said,

“Rap Artist, if all you rap about is killing black people, degrading Black women, abusing drugs, materialization,, living a low life, you are not an artist, you are a Black face for white supremacy. You are being used to help destroy your own people.”

Many people on Instagram agreed with Benét and others disagreed, particularly the rappers who felt stung by his commentary with some even resorting to personal attacks bringing up his past marital problems.

There is scientific evidence to back up Malcolm X's theory that media controls the minds of the masses. There is no denying it and anyone offended by this truth and can not see or refuse to recognize the harmful impact on the community by the type of "rap" Benét singles out, in my opinion, the detractors fit into one or two camps, possibly both. Rappers profiting from the degenerate lyrics or those too ignorant to have a constructive dialogue around the issue. Lupe Fiasco, a rapper who has talked about the harmful images and lyrics in rap music got a similar pushback when he brought up the issue years ago.

I don’t expect rappers who have no problem promoting this type of content to the community to be responsible adults capable of understanding the issue. How intellectually deep can someone be who raps about killing n-words, selling dope and disrespectful to women? Maybe some of them are capable and understand exactly the impact their music is having on society but choose to ignore any consciousness they may have and give in to their lower self for paychecks from the industry. In other words, they are willfully selling out.

The radio stations that play this harmful content and those who advertise on those stations could exclude hateful, violent and misogynistic tracks from their playlists anytime they choose but without a community-wide boycott and campaign, they will continue to broadcast these negative self-hating messages to the community and members of the community will act accordingly to the programming they are receiving. It is a shame to say but there are many weak minded individuals in our communities susceptible to the programming.

I spoke with Kwabena Rasuli of Clear The Airwaves Project which aims to kill the killer radio programming fed to the Black community through FCC licensed radio stations, about Mr. Benét’s post.

In conclusion, I don’t think it is accurate to say these rappers are agents of White Supremacy which is a buzzword used all too often in my opinion but they are certainly agents of destruction, self-hate, and negativity in the community.

BTR News - Former intelligence officials that appear on news programs have come under fire for pushing Russian collusion stories to the American public and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul wants them to have their security clearance is revoked for fear that they are leaking classified information in highly partisan appearances on news networks and some have been profiting handsomely from their public service and security clearances that give them access to classified government documents.

Considering most people who leave government service lose their security clearances after two years unless they obtain employment with government contractors that require a security clearance, it is questionable whether or not retired intelligence officials who appear as Talking Heads in the news media should retain those clearances.

MSNBC a prolific promoter of the Trump Russia collusion conspiracy theory try to defend those clearances by saying that former officials are still consulted by those working in their former agencies.  that means that these people are not really retired and should be considered intelligence agency assets working in the news media to push propaganda on behalf of the deep state. It was only a few years ago that former LA Time reporter Ken Dilanian who now works for the AP was outed for seeking to clear stories with the CIA prior to publication.

These activities are right in line with the FBI's Cointelpro media operations against Black and left-leaning activists and organizations during the 1950's, 60's and 70s and Operation Mockingbird which was a large-scale program of the CIA that began in the early 1950s that manipulated news media for propaganda purposes. Mockingbird became the subject of Congressional hearings in the 1970s. Senator Rand Paul is right, retired officials who retain security clearances are security risks. Trump should but probably won't heed his advice.
