Podcasts about african people's socialist party

Nearly one year ago, on July 29, 2022, the FBI simultaneously conducted a heavily-militarized raid on seven facilities associated with the African People's Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement in Missouri and Florida. The federal government seized computers, phones and archival material. This was later used to fabricate federal charges against three members, Chairman Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel. Clearing the FOG speaks with Chairman Yeshitela about the raid and prosecution and the new anti-colonial free speech coalition launched this month. Chairman Yeshitela explains why the coalition is specifically anti-colonial and why this broad movement is necessary to protect our First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly.  He also urges everyone to support Black is Back's November 4 March on the White House.

For folks who don't know the APSP (African People's Socialist Party) leadership has been indicted under trumped up charges alleging that the APSP leadership “spread malign influence” on behalf of “foreign governments” without properly “registering” with FARA, as well as including an undertone accusation off inciting racial or national-based hatred + violence, of which none have any evidence or basis in reality. The APSP came around in the 70s, and since the dawning of slavery and African oppression, Black/African peoples have been criminalized, incarcerated, or assassinated and have ALWAYS been made to be, among others, a scapegoat for other oppressed communities, and impoverished people. We must NOT let the APSP stand alone! Join w the FRSO, BAP, Spirit of Mandela, Community Movement Builders and others who have supported the APSP or released statements against the indictments of APSP leadership and the 3 Russian nationals also included in this bullshit charge, and consider sending a message or donation of support, or join the African People's Socialist Party, the Unit solidarity movement, or other organizations mentioned like the Black Alliance for Peace (for Africans) BAP solidarity network (for non-Africans), Spirit of Mandela, About the People, Community Movement Builders, All African People's Revolutionary Party or others!

The Biden Administration has indicted four Americans and charged them with conspiracy to spread Russian propaganda and acting as unregistered Russian agents. The four are members of the African People's Socialist Party, which has opposed US foreign policy since 1971. They face 15 years in prison.

At the St. Louis home of APSP Chairman Omali Yeshitela, armed agents threw flash grenades, drones swooped in to spy, and snipers trained lasers on their targets' chests — all while the FBI taped over the ‘smart doorbells' of neighbors to avoid being filmed. Anyone have 1984 bingo yet? And the purpose of the raid? To bust the Russians for, in the FBI's eyes, secretly running the African People's Socialist Party. The raid came in conjunction with an indictment that day of Russian national Aleksandr Ionov for an alleged “malign influence campaign” against the United States. “There's this insidious assumption in the mind of most white people globally that African people are too stupid to know what our own interests are, that somebody else must've come and told us that we are mistreated in the United States,” Chairman Yeshitela tells us. “So if Black people are saying something is happening to us, it's not because it's happening, it's because Russia is talking through us. That is what they constructed.” Now, Yeshitela and his team of activists are under intense legal threat from the US government. They're trying to raise awareness, but very few in the media are covering it. Every American knew about the Trump raid that happened weeks later, and calls to defund the FBI were solely in defense of the former president. No one talked about the Black activists threatened and raided. “Generally speaking,” the Chairman explains, “Americans are the most backwards people in the world in terms of living right in the heart of the most oppressive system while being the most ignorant about what it is that this government does.” Subscribe for the full interview, where Chairman Yeshitela describes the full raid, the dark history of American colonization, and how he and the APSP are making real change — not “malign influence” — in cities all around the country.

On July 29, the FBI conducted a surprise raid on the homes and offices of leaders of the African People's Socialist Party and Uhuru Solidarity Movement (APSP-Uhuru) in Florida and Missouri under the pretext that they were co-conspirators in an indictment of a Russian national, Alexander Ionov. In the raid, documents and electronic devices were stolen. The raid was coordinated with the Biden Administration. Clearing the FOG speaks with Chairman Omali Yeshitela of the APSP - Uhuru about the raid and the broader implications of it for activists in the United States. This raid is connected to the anti-Russian narrative that has been developed in the US to justify the conflict in Ukraine and it sends a warning to all who dare to work for justice and speak the truth.

Don't miss this special edition of Reparations in Action that features an interview with African People's Socialist Party Department of Agitation and Propaganda Director, Akile Anai about the significance of the 25 year anniversary of the police murder of TyRon Lewis and the heroic rebellions that emerged in response to this colonial murder of an 18 year old African in broad daylight. The African community of St. Petersburg, FL had been politicized by 30 years of leadership from the Uhuru Movement and rose up in armed resistance to the police and colonial state after TyRon Lewis was shot to death by a white cop on October 24th just blocks away from the Uhuru House.  The black community of St Petersburg challenged the police with a fierce armed resistance again on November 13th, 1996 in what has been called the Battle of St. Pete. The November 13th uprising came in response to over 300 armed to the teeth police converging on the Uhuru House ( headquarters of the African People's Socialist Party) and attempting to set the building on fire with incendiary tear gas cannisters while over 100 men women and children were inside for a regular Wednesday night meeting of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement. The heroic actions of the African working class put out the fire at the Uhuru House and forced an army of colonial police to retreat . Gunshots from the community forced a police helicopter and airplane out of the sky. The Battle of St Pete was an example of serious guerilla warfare on the part of a colonized population that ended in a decisive military and political victory for the African working class and the African Revolution. November 13th, 1996 was a serious defeat for the global system of colonial capitalism that must be upheld by revolutionaries and freedom loving people who support self determination for the African community. In the era of mass protest and uprisings against police terror that have followed the murder of George Floyd it is critical that we internalize the lessons from this revolutionary victory that led to 8 years of not a single African person being murdered by the police in St Petersburg. Tune in to this first episode of a two part series on the Battle of St Pete and learn why this city is known as the City of African Resistance    

Today's episode features an interview with African People's Socialist Party member and Visiting Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Sandiego, Dr. Matsemela Odom. Dr. Odom and APSC Chairwoman Penny Hess take a look at the US Civil War through the eyes of the African working class and come to the conclusion that African people are their own liberators in the struggle for freedom from colonial slavery in all of its forms.

On today's episode we interview Ticharwa Masimba, a member of the African People's Socialist Party as well as the Economic Development Director of the Black Power Blueprint project in St Louis. The Black Power Blueprint was initiated by the Uhuru Movement in the wake of the murder of Mike Brown on August 9th, 2014 and the subsequent African uprisings.

On today's episode we had an incredibly powerful discussion with Secretary General of the African Socialist International, Luwezi Kinshasa, joining us from London. Secretary General Luwezi Kinshasa is a brilliant leader, speaker and writer whose political leadership in building the African People's Socialist Party worldwide is felt throughout Europe, Africa, the Bahamas and elsewhere.

As African community uprisings sweep the globe in response to the intensifying colonial terror and police murders, the Uhuru Solidarity Movement held "Global Day of Action for Reparations" in sixteen cities across the U.S. to mobilize white people to stand in solidarity with Black Power. Hear front-line reports from the day of action. Also, Penny Hess (Chair, African People's Solidarity Committee) and Jesse Nevel (Chair, Uhuru Solidarity) discuss the growing demand for the "defunding of police" and what this means in relationship to the struggle led by the African People's Socialist Party for black community control of the police. 

On this episode of Reparations in Action, Jamie Simpson and Jesse Nevel conduct a special interview with Chairman of the African People's Socialist Party, Omali Yeshitela. 

Co-hosts Jamie Simpson, Penny Hess, Jesse Nevel are joined by Renee Nassar and Halley Murray to discuss the historic plenary conference of the African People's Socialist Party, "Vanguard Up! Unity of Theory and Practice" as well as a lively discussion about the Iowa Caucus disaster and the crisis of imperialism. We also took questions from facebook on the role of white people in solidarity with the African liberation movement. 

In, Amilcar Cabral and the Theory of the National Liberation Struggle, Professor Nzongola-Ntalaja writes that: “Amilcar Cabral's contribution to understanding the success and failures of liberation movements, resides in his demonstration that national liberation struggles have two phases: the national phase and the social phase, with the latter being more crucial to its ultimate conclusion (1972: 102-110). This analysis is of course theorized within the reality that nation states themselves have deep inherent structural implications that will come into conflict with communities of people that are excluded in its fundamental assumptions of how and for whom society should be organized. It also is based on the reality that nation states, as advanced through European projects, were themselves developed as a direct product of imperialism and its attendant forms of colonialism (direct, indirect, neo, settler, internal). According to Amiri Baraka in Towards Ideological Clarity, “the 18th century [a time when European nation states, driven by the old wars between tribal Europe rapidly began to solidify their existence in national entities] was, also, the time when European capitalism amassed the initial wealth it needed to bring about the unprecedented technological advances responsible for what was later called the: industrial revolution. This primitive accumulation cannot be separated from the European Slave Trade...". Writing in How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Walter Rodney further argues that: “throughout the 17th and 18th centuries and for most of the 19th century, the exploitation of Africa and African labor continued to be a source for the accumulation of capital to be re-invested in Western Europe. The African contribution to European capitalist growth extended over such vital sectors as shipping, insurance, [the formation of international corporations-such as but not limited to, the African Royal Company, East Indian Company, etc], capitalist agriculture, technology and the manufacture of machinery...". The legacy of this is encapsulated in an African world left to wrestle with the contradictions inherent in sociopolitical and economic structures where the exploitation of human and natural resources is the foundational ethos and the human response is a reclamation of its humanity as developed from a critical consciousness—in the case of the African world, a critical Africana consciousness. Today, AWNP is in conversation with veteran activist and political theorist, Omali Yeshitela, Chairman of the African People's Socialist Party. In 1966, Chairman Omali Yeshitela after ripping down a racist mural from the walls of City Hall in St Petersburg, Florida, developing a political and intellectual trajectory informed by anti-colonial movements around the world and the struggle for liberation by people of African descent in the U.S., Yeshitela has dedicated his life to refining a praxis that seeks to institutionalize freedom for the African world. In 1972, the African People's Socialist Party was formed along with the worldwide Uhuru Movement and the African Socialist International, with branches active in the U.S., Europe, the Caribbean and on the continent of Africa. Last year, Chair Omali, as Malcolm X did 55 years ago, traveled to London to participate in the formal debates at the Oxford Union. He was asked to argue in favor of the house embracing an ever-closer African union. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

The Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations held its national conference in St. Louis, this month. The Coalition was formed ten years ago, during Barack Obama's first year in the White House. Black Agenda Report executive editor Glen Ford is a co-founder of Black Is Back. That was BAR executive editor Glen Ford. Omali Yeshitela is chairman of the Black Is Back Coalition, which is made up of a diverse group of radical Black organizations. Yeshitela is also the leader of the African People's Socialist Party, which has long been intimately involved with the African liberation movement. President Trump's rhetoric gets raunchier by the day, as the 2020 election draws near. Some of Trump's critics seem to think that calling him “un-American” is an effective argument. But political analyst William C. Anderson doesn't think so. Anderson recently wrote an article for TruthOut titled, “Using Patriotism to Deflect Racism is a Deadly Mistake.” Hollywood is a lot Blacker than it used to be, but that's not saying much. Most Hollywood studios still work on the assumption that movies geared to Black audiences don't make much money.
