In our time together today, our “Take Ten” with Will Luden, we will separate the causes people are protesting or supporting from the tactics used; they are most often incorrectly blurred to favor the person or group making the comments.  Let’s go over some foundational principles first: 1. The ends do not justify the means; means are ends in and of themselves. As soon as you say that your ends justify your means, you are saying that might is right. 2. “Whatever it takes,” might be an acceptable strategy if: A. Your cause is fundamental to the survival of mankind and B. You’re dead, no pun intended, certain that you cannot be wrong. 3. Follow Revolution 2.0™'s Golden Rule of Political Tactics:  Use only the tactics that you are okay with being used against you. This 10 minute episode will help us in our lives, and help us to think through the issues surrounding us.  N.B. This is a complete blog, also acting as a signpost, pointing you to this episode on both the new Revolution 2.0™https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw5CDliD-PRQE_8bO4Eg98Q ( YouTube) channel, and where you enjoy your podcasts, e.g.,https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/revolution-2-0/id1353135552 ( Apple),https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yZXZvbHV0aW9uMi0wLm9yZy9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Qv ( Google) andhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6rr6fi3AMW0GoAfYQ64lf9 ( Spotify).   Continuing: It is the height of arrogance to claim that tactics that you approve of using in support of causes you favor are unacceptable to the point of being criminal when unemployed to support causes you do not believe in. The trucker protest in Ottawa crippled the capital city of Canada for over two weeks, and shut down the https://www.ambassadorbridge.com/ (Ambassador Bridge) that carries 30% of the annual trade between the US and Canada.  A 2004 Border Transportation Partnership study showed that 150,000 jobs in the Detroit–Windsor region and $13 billion in annual production depend on the Detroit–Windsor international border crossing. Ambassador Bridge map and discussion. Trucker protest photo Latvia protest photo. Many of the same people and groups who enthusiastically support the trucker protest get self-righteously irate and want to shut down other protests when they block an intersection for an hour or two. And these people and groups want to export the trucker protest to other cities and other countries. Now for more about separating the causes from the tactics: Truckers and others have every right to protest, but they have no right to cripple cities and major thoroughfares. We can either approve of or criticize the anti-mandate cause for the protests, but we cannot approve of the tactics.  Civil Rights protesters, including those supporting BLM and wanting change post the George Floyd murder, have every right to protest, but they have no right to block streets, burn and loot businesses, and invade police stations. Once again, we can debate the worthiness of the causes, but we cannot approve of the tactics. 3. Supporters of a failed presidential candidate have every right to protest, but they have no right to invade our nation's capitol. Debate their stolen election promise if you will, but do not support the tactic of invading the capitol. The intentional mistake that I see in all three areas, truckers, civil rights, Jan 6th, is that people who are in support of the cause focus on the cause, and gloss over the tactics. Phrases like, “Mostly peaceful,” and “Peaceful protest supporting democracy,” come to mind. People who are against the cause, focus on the worst of the tactics, and gloss over the cause. Phrases like, “Another night of violence, burning and looting,” and, “January 6th was the worst and most dangerous event in America since the Civil War,” come to mind. Separate the causes from the tactics, the fly poop from the pepper. Stop making people and events either all good or all bad. Either all black, or all white....

An underwater tale of two cities With the auto industry booming and with Detroit's population surging in the 1920s, we needed a way to get people and car parts back and forth between Detroit and Windsor.  The solution: dig a massive trench beneath the Detroit River current, drop massive concrete tubes into the trench, and drain 'them. What could possibly go wrong? The Detroit History Podcast story of that civil engineering achievement includes an audio bonus: on a quiet night, you can hear freighters passing overhead.

When she was 19, she was returning home from a night out with her friends in Detroit, Michigan. She became stranded on the freeway just minutes away from the Detroit-Windsor tunnel. She was subsequently robbed at gunpoint, kidnapped and over a terrifying twelve hour period, gang raped repeatedly. Working closely with the Detroit police, the perpetrators were brought to justice and three of the men remain incarcerated today. Melissa's Canadian best-selling book The Queen's Daughter describes in detail the assault and the aftermath of being a rape victim.

Hunt Sales on Iggy Pop, David Bowie & his life in music - in conversation with David Eastaugh Hunt Sales' first group was with brother Tony in Tony and the Tigers. They appeared on Hullabaloo in 1966, and also on the local Detroit/Windsor dance show Swingin' Time with Robin Seymour. In 1976, he played drums with the hard rock power trio Paris, formed by former Fleetwood Mac guitarist/songwriter Bob Welch. This trio (which included ex-Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick) was short-lived, releasing two albums for Capitol Records. Hunt played and sang backing vocals on the second Paris album, Big Towne, 2061. In 1977, along with his brother Tony, Hunt provided the rhythm section for the Iggy Pop album Lust for Life. David Bowie's memories of the Sales brothers' contribution to the recording led him to invite the pair to join Tin Machine in the late 1980s.

SONIC ACTS FESTIVAL 2019 – HEREAFTER Post-Screening Discussion: Ephraim Asili in conversation with Mirna Belina. 23 February – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Following the screening of American Hunger (2013, 19 min) and Fluid Frontiers (2017, 23 min) Ephraim Asili discusses the films with Mirna Belina and takes questions from the audience. In seven years, from 2011 to 2017, Ephraim Asili has completed a remarkable cycle of films called The Diaspora Suite about his relationship with the greater African diaspora. These films – Forged Ways, American Hunger, Many Thousands Gone, Kindah and Fluid Frontiers – document not only his travels across Brazil, Canada, Ethiopia, Ghana, Jamaica and the United States, but also a personal meditation on the constructs surrounding African-American cultural identity. With his observational 16mm cinematography and evocative use of sound and music, Asili is both critical and speculative, listening intently to the resonances of words and gestures that span centuries and oceans. Oscillating between a street festival in Philadelphia, the slave forts and capital city of Ghana and the New Jersey shore, American Hunger (2013, 19 min) explores the relationship between personal experience and collective histories. American fantasies confront African realities. African realities confront American fantasies. Fluid Frontiers (2017, 23 min) is the final film in the Diaspora Suite. Shot along the Detroit River, it explores the relationship between concepts of resistance and liberation, exemplified by the Underground Railroad, Broadside Press and artworks of local Detroit artists. All of the poems are read from original copies of Broadside Press publications by natives of the Detroit Windsor region, and were shot without rehearsal. Ephraim Asili is a filmmaker, DJ and traveler whose work focuses on the African diaspora as a cultural force. His films have been screened at festivals and venues all over the world, including the New York Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, San Francisco International Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, MoMA PS1, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Whitney Museum. As a DJ, Asili can be heard live at his monthly dance party Botanica. He currently resides in Hudson, NY, and is a professor in the Film and Electronic Arts Department at Bard College.

The city of Detroit has announced plans to sell Lee Plaza, the hulking and abandoned former apartment tower on West Grand Boulevard near Linden, to a pair of developers for a cool $350,000. The Roxbury Group and Ethos Development Partners plan to convert it to 180 apartments and retail as part of a $50 million redevelopment. It’s good news for an ailing but iconic building in a part of town that could use some love. Also on today’s show, we run down the first partisan fight of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s tenure. Republican lawmakers have overridden her executive order restructuring the state’s main environmental department. They objected to her effort to do away with industry-friendly panels overseeing environmental rules and permitting. Here’s what else you’ll hear: An update on the Piet Oudolf garden coming to Belle Isle Details on Michigan’s new Move Over Law Bob Seger adds a Detroit-area date to his farewell tour, which is currently under way A new Meijer is coming to the new shopping center development taking shape at 13 Mile and Woodward in Royal Oak Jer and I talk about the news that Amazon is scrapping its plans to build part of its HQ2 campus in New York City amid a wave of local opposition about the incentives on offer and other issues. As a reminder, Detroit offered similar incentives as part of its package to try and woo the e-retail behemoth, and we devoted an entire podcast episode to doing the postmortem on why the Detroit-Windsor bid fell short. And finally, an interview with Ryan Landau from the staffing agency Re:Purpose. Thank you for listening to our show. Happy Valentine’s Day, errybody. We

Phil Donahue Interview Of Jerry Ray, David L Fron The House Assassinations Committee suggested yesterday that the mysterious "Raoul" supposedly involved in the killing of Martin Luther King Jr. might really be one of James Earl Ray's brothers or "a composite of the two of them." The committee's chief counsel, G. Robert Blakey, aired the theory to begin what proved to be a long and rancorous hearing with Ray's fast-talking younger brother, Jerry, as the only witness. Testifying under a court-ordered grant of immunity which he invoked only once, Jerry Ray, 43, and his two lawyers repeatedly denounced the allegations and accused the committee, in turn, of a variety of unfair tactics. One of the attorneys, Florynce Kennedy, a black who openly called her client "a redneck racist," charged that the committee seemed bent on ignoring any information that might exonerate the Rays. The other, William Pepper, assailed the panel for pouring unverified and unsworn allegations into the public record and calling on Ray to respond under oath. Blakey opened by saying the committee had pursued every lead it could concerning James Earl Ray's insistence over the years that he was somehow lured into taking part in the April 4, 1968, assassination by a shadowy character named "Raoul." "All leads on Raoul were pursued on the assumption that such a man might indeed exist," Blakey said. But, he added, "when you come down to it, the Raoul theory that seems to fit is that the mysterious accomplice might actually be one of Ray's brothers, Jerry or John, or a composite of the two of them." The committee produced four charts indicating, as Blakey put it, "that at each point where James' movements or his funding during the fugitive period are explained by James by reference to Raoul, one of the brothers is, in fact, either on the scene or in contact with James." Blakey offered these examples: When James Earl Ray moved from Canada to Birmingham, Ala., in the summer of 1967, after his escape from the Missouri State Penitentiary that year, he claims to have met at the Detroit-Windsor border with Raoul "who paid him $1,500 for helping in a smuggling operation." "This was supposed to have occurred on August 21 (1967)," Blakey said. Yet, he added, "on Aug. 22, from accounts given by both James and Jerry, we know the two brothers met in Chicago." Moving to Birmingham, Ray bought a 1966 Mustang and some camera equipment with money that he has said he got "from Raoul in Birmingham in August." In a conversation with a committee witness who asked for anonymity, "Jerry Ray has admitted he was in New Orleans with James in December (1967)." James Earl Ray, Blakey reported, "claims it was Raoul who gave him $500 in New Orleans on Dec. 17" of that year. But on his return to Los Angeles, where he was then living, "he told a dancing instructor of a recent meeting in Louisiana with his brother." Once again, on March 29, 1968, according to James Earl Ray, he and Raoul went to Birmingham where Ray says he bought a rifle with $750 "given to him by Raoul" and then exchanged it the next day. "Ray claims... that Raoul rejected this rifle and told him to exchange it for another model," Blakey pointed out, "but when Ray telephoned the (rifle) salesman... he said he had learned he had purchased the wrong type of rifle from a conversation with his brother." For his part, Jerry Ray denied that he was "Raoul," and insisted that he met with brother James after the 1967 prison escape only in Chicago and the Chicago suburb of Northwood. Jerry Ray said he feels convinced that "Raoul is still out there" somewhere. The witness said he feels strongly that the King murder was the result of a conspiracy in which James Ray was "unknowingly involved," but he couldn't be more certain than that.
