The Pope’s resignation and Conspiracy theories about it
I’ll start this by saying I don’t really have a dog in this fight. I consider many priests and nuns in the Catholic Church to be heroes, but I also have many, many friends and relatives who remember Catholic grade school back in the 50’s and 60’s, and won’t set foot in a church unless […]
Don’t know much about that Gun thing…
An interesting perspective on the debate over the Second Amendment. Some historians believe the beginning part of the statement (“A Well Regulated Militia”) represents the part the Founding Fathers cared about–essentially, it was the means by which all adult white men (most of whom could not vote, since the franchise was only given to white […]
Don’t know much about that Gun thing…
On Thursday (2/7), WBCR‘s Sex and Politics played host to two advocates of full gun rights (aka the status quo) in the aftermath of the attacks at Sandy Hook, Connecticut, Aurora, Colorado, and any number of similar storied recent slaughters of Americans by firearms. I’m not going to re-hash the arguments and counter-arguments made that […]
Who is telling you the truth about the drone war?
Per a chirpy article in today’s Huffington Post, we learn that the major media have no reporters dedicated to covering the nitty-gritty of our drone wars. The Obama information considers their strikes secrets (though obviously the people getting hit by the Hellfire missiles know, so the ‘secret’ is being held from the American People picking […]
Don’t know much about Statistics, either
Once upon a time, there was a man named John Williams. He wrote the music for the Star Wars movies and became quite famous. This is quite unfortunate for the John Williams I’d like to tell you about today. The John Williams I’m writing about has no aspirations to music as far as I know. […]
Revisiting the Superbowl blackout
Revisiting the Superbowl blackout.
My WBCR segment that went AWOL
So there we were Thursday night on WBCR, our second segment of 2013. And things were jumpin’. We had discussion about the Barghouti lecture at Brooklyn College about the BDS movement to sanction Israel for its continued ‘Palestinian Apartheid’. The lecture was going on as we broadcast, so getting into the station involved getting past […]
Revisiting the Superbowl blackout
Five days ago, I sounded off on the failure of the lights in the Superdome during the Super Bowl. My point was that we are falling apart as a country when it comes to technology. It has been some 40 years since we got to the point we were landing men routinely on the Moon, […]

The newest document released in the Pacific Northwest Grand Jury case reveals the federal government’s criminalization of anarchists. On January 30, a redacted affidavit was unsealed by order of Judge Richard Jones. The affidavit can be found Redacted Warrant. Throughout the document Geoffrey Maron, an FBI Special Agent…
From Jenna Pope, who’s been giving us the pictures about Occupy and the growing Police State. Yesterday, protesters came to New York for a hearing about the National Defense Authorization Act, which (per the Obama administration) includes provisions for indefinite military detention without trial of Americans, including protesters and journalists. Keep focused on this.
