Gil Noble, a legendary black journalist, has died at 80.

Noble hosted the New York public affairs show “Like It Is” for 33 years. WABC, the station he worked for, said that he created “the largest body of programs and documentaries on African Americans in the country.”

“Like It Is” was born out of an effort to put more African American programs on television in the wake of the civil rights and black power movements. The show began in 1968, and it was only a stroke that forced Noble off the air in 2011.

Noble was born and bred in Harlem. In a 1998 interview, he said that he grew up “with no thought at all” of becoming a broadcaster. “[It] certainly had no place for people of color,” he said.

Noble worked as a model, a bank clerk and a jazz pianist before his move into broadcasting. He eventually got a job at a Harlem radio station, and transitioned to television in 1967, where he stayed for the rest of his career.

“The civil rights movement was really exploding,” he continued in that interview. “I got myself an understanding of myself, my history, this country and another perspective of its story and its history and the world by all of the dynamic people who were in Harlem at the time.” His hero, and greatest influence, was Malcolm X.

Noble interviewed everyone from historians to presidents, revolutionaries to music icons. Just some of the many, many legends he spoke to include Nelson Mandela, Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, Muhammad Ali, Kwame Ture, Jesse Jackson, Julius Nyerere and Sarah Vaughan. He also produced many documentaries about black history.

“Gil Noble’s life and work had a profound effect on our society and culture,” WABC president Dave Davis said in a statement.

The Economic Collapse

Thursday, February 9, 2012

What would happen if the Federal Reserve was shut down permanently?  That is a question that CNBC asked recently, but unfortunately most Americans don’t really think about the Fed much. Most Americans are content with believing that the Federal Reserve is just another stuffy government agency that sets our interest rates and that is watching out for the best interests of the American people.  But that is not the case at all.  The truth is that the Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel that has been designed to systematically destroy the value of our currency, drain the wealth of the American public and enslave the federal government to perpetually expanding debt.  During this election year, the economy is the number one issue that voters are concerned about.  But instead of endlessly blaming both political parties, the truth is that most of the blame should be placed at the feet of the Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve has more power over the performance of the U.S. economy than anyone else does.  The Federal Reserve controls the money supply, the Federal Reserve sets the interest rates and the Federal Reserve hands out bailouts to the big banks that absolutely dwarf anything that Congress ever did.  If the American people are ever going to learn what is really going on with our economy, then it is absolutely imperative that they get educated about the Federal Reserve.

The following are 10 things that every American should know about the Federal Reserve….

#1 The Federal Reserve System Is A Privately Owned Banking Cartel

The Federal Reserve is not a government agency.

#2 The Federal Reserve System Is A Perpetual Debt Machine

As long as the Federal Reserve System exists, U.S. government debt will continue to go up and up and up.

#3 The Federal Reserve Has Destroyed More Than 96% Of The Value Of The U.S. Dollar

Did you know that the U.S. dollar has lost 96.2 percent of its value since 1900?  Of course almost all of that decline has happened since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913.

#4 The Federal Reserve Can Bail Out Whoever It Wants To With No Accountability

The American people got so upset about the bailouts that Congress gave to the Wall Street banks and to the big automakers, but did you know that the biggest bailouts of all were given out by the Federal Reserve?

#5 The Federal Reserve Is Paying Banks Not To Lend Money

Did you know that the Federal Reserve is actually paying banks not to make loans?

#6 The Federal Reserve Creates Artificial Economic Bubbles That Are Extremely Damaging

By allowing a centralized authority such as the Federal Reserve to dictate interest rates, it creates an environment where financial bubbles can be created very easily.

#7 The Federal Reserve System Is Dominated By The Big Wall Street Banks

Even since it was created, the Federal Reserve system has been dominated by the big Wall Street banks.

#8 It Is Not An Accident That We Saw The Personal Income Tax And The Federal Reserve System Both Come Into Existence In 1913

On February 3rd, 1913 the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified.  Later that year, the United States Revenue Act of 1913 imposed a personal income tax on the American people and we have had one ever since.

#9 The Current Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, Has A Nightmarish Track Record Of Incompetence

The mainstream media portrays Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke as a brilliant economist, but is that really the case?

#10 The Federal Reserve Has Become Way Too Powerful

The Federal Reserve is the most undemocratic institution in America.

Chinese Government Demands 250 Million Internet Users Provide Real Identities

While you’re sitting and watching the staged, pagan, Illuminati ritual Superbowl today, enjoying the predictive programming funny commercials and celebrating America’s ever increasing decent in to the police state freedom, step away from the nachos and buffalo wings take a little time out to remember…

On the morning of April 19, 1995, a bomb exploded in front of the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City.

168 people were killed, including 19 children.

More than 800 were injured.

At the time, it was the first mass-casualty terrorist event on American soil, and it rocked the nation.

Six years later, when Timothy McVeigh was executed on June 11, 2001, many people viewed his death as the end of the story. The perpetrator had been killed. Justice had been done.

Yet many people continued to question the media-sponsored version of the events of that fateful day back in 1995. Those people have continued to dig for answers even though they face serious obstacles to getting vital information that would put their questions to rest.

Every day that Americans stay ignorant of what really happened in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, is a day that dishonors the victims who lost their lives.

Uncovering the truth — and demanding justice — is the only way to honor the victims and bring peace to those families who were affected.

A brand new 2-hour documentary was recently published to scrutinize the inconsistencies of the official Oklahoma City bombing story. It is the first modern documentary on the subject, and it is the culmination of years worth of interviews, fact-finding, and scholarly research.

The documentary is called A Noble Lie. The title comes from Plato’s Republic: “A noble lie refers to the propping up of a myth in order to ‘maintain social harmony’ and keep the elite in their present position.”

You see, “The Powers That Be” don’t want us to know
what really happened on April 19, 1995.

Therefore, important facts have been twisted, omitted, or flat-out covered up. And to this day, most people’s understanding of the Oklahoma City bombing is limited to a single overly simplistic sentence:

“Timothy McVeigh blew up a bomb in a moving truck parked outside the Alfred P. Murrah building.”

Unfortunately, the story is much deeper — and much more troubling — than this.

If you are skeptical, I don’t blame you. Most people have never actually examined the evidence because it’s been suppressed for so many years.

But the evidence is finally coming out and
it’s time for this “Noble Lie” to be exposed.

With that in mind, here are just a few of the dozens of facts and questions the official story fails to answer:

• Eyewitnesses reported multiple explosions coming from inside the building. In the immediate aftermath of the event, even the media reported multiple explosions. Where did these explosions come from? Who planted them? Who detonated them?
• Timothy McVeigh was pulled over for speeding and driving without a license plate. He admitted to carrying a concealed handgun and was taken into custody without incident. Why was this the very first time he’d been arrested? And why did his initial arrest have nothing to do with the OKC bombing?
• Why did Terry Nichols voluntarily turn himself in for questioning instead of running away?
• Official FBI documents listed the perpetrators of the OKC bombing as McVeigh, Nichols, and “others unknown.” Whatever happened to these “others unknown”? Why didn’t authorities try to find these people?
• A long-time employee who had worked in the Murrah building for more than 10 years noticed suspicious activity the morning of the bombing. Who were the people she saw… and what were they doing?
• The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) had offices in the Murrah building, yet not one ATF employee was killed or injured because early that morning they’d all been tipped on their pagers not to come to work. Who had prior knowledge of the bombing? Why? And why did that person (or people) notify only the ATF instead of evacuating the entire building?
• 20/20 did a 15-minute segment on “prior knowledge” a year and a half after the OKC bombing. It was so explosive, they immediately began work on a full hour show to dig even deeper. But the U.S. Department of Justice intervened and stopped the show from airing. Why did the federal government intervene? What were they trying to hide from the American people?
• When Timothy McVeigh was finally executed, his occupation on his Death Certificate was still listed as “Soldier” for the “U.S. Army” even though he had supposedly been honorably discharged in 1993. Why would he have still been employed by the Army at the time of his death?

Do you know the answers to these questions or the dozens of others not listed here?

Would you like to?

If so, I strongly recommend you get a copy of A Noble Lie and watch it immediately. You may also want to get some extra copies to loan out or give away.

Because you (and many others) haven’t been told the truth about the Oklahoma City bombing. You’ve been lied to. And at this point in our nation’s history, it is critical that you know the truth.

Hey guys,

Unfortunately, movies starring an all African American cast are on the verge of becoming extinct.  THAT’S RIGHT, EXTINCT! Ask any executive at a Hollywood Studio why, and most of them will tell you one of two things. The first thing they’ll say is that DVD sales have become very soft, so it’s hard for a movie with an all black cast to break-even.  Secondly they’ll say, most movies are now dependent on foreign sales to be successful and most “black” movies don’t sell well in foreign markets.  So what that means is you will begin to see less and less films that star an all black cast.   Isn’t that sad in a 2012 America? Somewhere along the way we still haven’t realized that we are more alike then not.

I must tell you that I have been very fortunate to work with a studio that sees the value in my type of storytelling and filmmaking. As well as having you, an audience of all races of people, who have stood by me arm and arm. It has helped me navigate through some pretty rough waters.

I thought that as black people in Hollywood, this is just our reality, but I quickly realized that this is not racism. What made me realize this is I had a conversation with Mr. Star Wars himself, George Lucas, and he was telling me that he was having the same problem with Red Tails. I was blown away!  Red Tails is an important story about, not just black history, but American history about the Tuskegee Airmen. It has an all-star African American cast, including Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard, which opens this Friday.  He went on to say that he brought the movie idea of Red Tails to several studios and no one wanted to make this film…. AND THIS IS GEORGE LUCAS!  Not to be deterred, he put up his own money, shot the movie then took it back to those same studios, and they wanted nothing to do with it. One of them even refused to see the film, citing the above mentioned problems.  So George decided to take a huge risk by entirely funding the movie and releasing it himself.  What a guy! For him to believe so strongly in this story is amazing.  I think we should pull together and get behind this movie. I really do! Not just African Americans, but all of us.  I have seen the movie and screened it here in Atlanta. I loved it and I think you will too.  The Tuskegee Airmen, who were at the screening, were so happy that somebody is telling a small part of their story.

It opens this Friday. Please take your kids, you will enjoy it and so will they. There is a lot of action and adventure and also a great history lesson to be learned.

George, I just want to say, thank you for having the courage to do this.

Why Did “Red Tails” Fail To Soar At The Box Office?

by Jeremy McGovern

The underhanded effort to fundamentally alter the internet under the guise of protecting the copyrights of Hollywood and its transnational “entertainment” corporations was delivered a distinct set-back a few days ago when Congress retreated on its full-steam ahead effort to ram SOPA down our throats.

Faced with massive outrage and a political backlash, the Obama administration threatened a veto of the SOPA legislation and in response Congress shelved it.

Equally important is the battle to defeat PIPA, the Protect IP Act, which will soon be up for a vote. Congress needs to be told it must reject this legislation as well.

Even though the shelving of SOPA appears to be a victory, we cannot trust the government to not reintroduce the bill after sprucing it up as a kinder and gentler effort to rob of us our ability to freely disseminate information and speak our minds on the internet without fear of the censor’s truncheon crashing down. After all, in 2010 the government shut down 73,000 web sites under the cover of fighting copyright infringement.

We must continue to let our “representatives” in Congress know that in no uncertain terms will we accept any modification of the internet at the behest of large corporations and the globalists who intend by hook or by crook to neuter the only free communication medium left to the people.

“free Wesley Snipes”

Why They Ignored The Jury

Part I

Taken from a presentation by Dr. James McIntosh at CEMOTAP celebrating Snipes as a Cub of the Historian John Henrik Clarke.

Wesley Snipes was targeted for incarceration for over several decades by all levels of law enforcement local, national and  perhaps international. This  article will speak about this targeting  that began at the local level over 2 decades ago. Although current incarceration statistics support the fact that all Black males in general are targeted for incarceration, Wesley Snipes  was targeted in a way  above and beyond that. He was targeted in a way reserved for only those Blacks who commit what white supremacists consider certain unpardonable sins.

These sins include exhibiting defiance, exhibiting race consciousness,  engaging in power seeking behaviors, engaging in independence seeking behaviors and engaging in revolutionary or consciousness raising behaviors. Any one of these behaviors has gotten Black men lynched by the media, the police,  the government or sometimes just by mobs of white supremacists.  Wesley Snipes over the decades not only exhibited one of these behaviors but all 5 of them.

Mr. Snipes first made his way on to the hit list of white supremacists on October 23, 1990. On that date  Snipes criticized racism inside and outside of Hollywood  in a published and widely distributed interview. Within 6 months of that interview. Los Angeles Police mistakenly identified the vehicle he was driving as stolen.  Snipes found himself laid spread eagled on the ground  by the LA police with a 9 millimeter gun pointed to his head.  This was 39 days after another  less famous man was beaten to a pulp by the same police department  as they supposedly tried to spread eagle him. That man’s name was Rodney King.  Intercepted radio broadcasts by the arresting cops in the King incident revealed one of the arresting cops initiating a discussion about King with the reference to GORILLAS IN THE MIST.

Two years later LAPD again arrested Snipes after he had a motorcycle accident.

Police found that Snipes had a 9 millimeter pistol. How did they find it? See if you can figure out from these media accounts.
