So we actually record our shows on Wednesday, which means as we were recording the government was killing Troy Davis. We talked for a bit about the uselessness of a system that essentially comes down to a stack of papers with the correct signatures on them taking a man's life.
Also, big news this week, apparently there's a class war going on according to the government!! We unveiled their lies and talked about what real class war is. We discussed the people who are coming out to defend the so called "millionaire tax" and how the suppression of working class people has been occurring for 30 years with no mention of class war.
Overall it was actually a pretty serious show, there wasn't much to joke about when you're standing by hoping that a man isn't killed.
You can find us and everything we do at MurderRebelRadio.com along with twitter (@murderradio) and facebook (facebook.com/mrrshow).

You've convinced me... Now go out and make me do it.

The quote is apocryphal, but Ellen Baumgartner is a local activist who is holding on to the "make-me-do-it" method for getting Obama to deliver at least some of the changes he promised during his campaign in '08. A couple of weeks after being jailed for civil disobedience in protest against the Keystone XL tars sands pipeline, Baumgartner said she supports Obama's reelection.
"I believe in Obama. I think he has had tremendous challenges. But he has done a number of good things. People are expecting too much of him, because he has inherited a mess. Now, with the Congress being so antagonistic and determined to not give him anything that he wants, it's very discouraging. However, if the choice is between Obama and a Republican of the ilk we have been seeing, it's Obama hands-down."
In late August police arrested more than 1200 people near the White House. Protestors took part in civil disobedience against Keystone XL. It was part of a two-week long effort to send a message to Obama and the rest of our country.
The proposed pipeline would carry tar sands oil from Canada to Texas where it would be refined and sent to other countries. The project has united many environmentalists and human rights activists who say tar sands oil extraction violates the land rights of indigenous people in Canada and exacerbates climate change.
"We should let him (Obama) know what his supporters want him to do... He has the power to say no (to Keystone XL). He doesn't need Congress to approve of his decision."
Rev. Kujenga Eliyah Ashe on building a mass movement

Rev. Kujenga Eliyah Ashe and K. Lanai Ashe near the Fort Hayes High School where President Obama spoke during his visit to Columbus to highlight his jobs plan
Ashe is the executive director of Community Organization for Abundant Life COAL I asked him what he thought of the environmental movement.
"The Earth is being raped by multinational corporations. They're polluting the Earth. Instead of using the solar power and wind power that they could be using...they're using fossil fuels. They're doing that because there's so much profit in it."
Ashe said he and fellow activists are pushing for an economic rights movement.
"The civil rights movement which Dr. King led has done great things. We even have a president w/ brown skin. So his dream has come true in terms of civil rights. But Dr. King, before he was killed, was starting to push for economics. He was boycotting different corporations and was planning a poor people's march on Washington, just like up in Chicago. They still have the Poor People's Campaign headed by Jerry Robinson."
Ashe said an economic rights movement lends itself to being broadly inclusive.
"The Civil Rights Movement helped all people-- black, white, red, yellow, gays, women. Everybody piggybacked on the Civil Rights Movement. Now we have our civil rights. We can vote. We have the franchise and (Black) mayors, congresspeople, senators, and even the president of the United States...Now we need our economic rights."
Ashe said the first program of that economic rights movement is repatriation and reparations for all descendants of slavery.
