In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Brigadier General Charles Young — a man born into slavery in Mays Lick, Kentucky, during the Civil War who went on to break barriers across the U.S. military and beyond. Despite facing relentless racism, repeated demotions, and exclusion due to his race, Young became a pioneer and trailblazer, achieving numerous historic firsts as a Black officer in the U.S. Army.You'll learn about Young's journey from his family's escape to freedom in Ripley, Ohio, through his tough years at West Point, his service with the Buffalo Soldiers, and his role as the first Black superintendent of a National Park (Sequoia & General Grant). We also learn about his friendships with figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, and his diplomatic posts in Haiti and Liberia.This episode touches on Young's incredible resilience, the legacy he left through public service, education, and advocacy, and his long-overdue posthumous promotion to Brigadier General in 2021. *The transcript for this show is auto generated using AI.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

In this expansive episode, Ghost dives deep into Africa's shifting alliances and the global scramble for critical resources. He opens with Trump's Africa Summit, where five West African nations were invited to Washington to negotiate trade deals centered on rare earth minerals, oil, and gas. Ghost methodically dissects NPR and AP coverage, showing how Western media narratives obscure the real incentives driving U.S. outreach, countering China's and Russia's growing footholds across the continent. Using detailed maps and timelines, he explains how military coups in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have created a new power bloc aligned with Russia, and why Liberia, Gabon, and others were strategically selected for engagement. The conversation moves to the Pentagon's controversial investment in MP Materials, effectively nationalizing America's only rare earth mine to break dependence on Chinese supply chains. Ghost then pivots to Israel's turmoil, exploring how Netanyahu's government is trapped between domestic collapse, far-right coalition partners, and stalled Gaza negotiations. With plenty of sidebars, on rare earth land grabs, CIA-backed coups, and the long game of economic warfare, this episode is equal parts exposé and history lesson, revealing how old empires still pull the strings behind modern headlines.

« Le flou entourant les conditions d'éligibilité à la présidence de la République de Guinée se dissipe, peu à peu », écrit Guinéenews. Le mandat présidentiel sera fixé à sept ans, renouvelable une seule fois. Une « avancée majeure », selon Oyé Béavogui, ancien secrétaire général par intérim du Parti démocratique de Guinée – Rassemblement démocratique africain (PDG-RDA), proche du pouvoir. Selon lui, cet allongement du mandat présidentiel « offre aux dirigeants le temps nécessaire pour se consacrer aux vraies priorités du pays », rapporte Guinéematin. « Un mandat de cinq ans ne sert pas à grand-chose », renchérit Alhoussein Maganera Kaké, le coordinateur général de la Synergie GDM 2025, lui aussi proche du pouvoir. « Vous avez deux ans de campagne, puis, une fois élu, un an pour identifier les cadres et les nommer. Il vous reste à peine deux ans pour travailler. Et en deux ans, on ne peut rien faire », précise-t-il dans le Djely. Africaguinée retient, de son côté, que l'un des aspects cruciaux de ces dispositions réside « dans l'immunité civile et pénale accordée aux anciens présidents pour les actes commis durant l'exercice régulier de leurs fonctions ». Mamadi Doumbouya, candidat ? Il s'était engagé à ne pas se représenter, mais la perspective inquiète Ibrahima Diallo, membre du Front national pour la défense de la Constitution. Elle remettrait « en cause la crédibilité et la légitimité de tout le processus, quelle que soit la qualité du texte proposé. Notre énergie collective doit désormais être dirigée vers un seul objectif : empêcher la candidature » du président de la transition, explique-t-il dans un entretien à Guinée7. Dans son éditorial, le site d'informations burkinabè Wakat Sera ironise : « Ainsi donc, sauf tsunami, Mamadi Doumbouya se présentera à la prochaine élection présidentielle », tout en rappelant que le président de la transition s'est engagé à ne pas se présenter. Jeune Afrique se montre tout aussi dubitatif sur la position qu'adoptera le général, « ce mandat allongé servira-t-il à Mamadi Doumbouya, très probable candidat », s'interroge le magazine. Inquiétude après la disparition de l'USAID « Le désengagement américain fait craindre une résurgence des épidémies » au Libéria. Reportage dans le Point dans ce pays qui détient « désormais le titre de pays africain le plus touché par ces coupes budgétaires liées à la disparition de l'Agence américaine pour le développement. Tous financements confondus, elles représentaient 3% du revenu national brut, « les professionnels de santé redoutent en l'état une détérioration de la situation épidémique ». Et le VIH est « loin de constituer le seul objet de préoccupation », précise le Point, le Mpox est « en arrière-plan ». « Bien que le centre épidémique de la variole du singe demeure en Afrique centrale, la transmission du virus s'est récemment accélérée au Liberia, où les autorités publiques ont recensé près de 900 cas suspectés depuis janvier 2025. » « Les Africains sommés d'être des grands garçons responsables », titre Aujourd'hui au Faso dans son éditorial. L'avenir de l'aide humanitaire en Afrique s'écrit en pointillé, selon Le Pays qui met en exergue cette citation de Cicéron qui « a traversé les âges depuis la Rome antique » : « L'argent est le nerf de la guerre. » Le site rappelle que faute d'argent, le Programme alimentaire mondial « menace de fermer des camps de réfugiés au Soudan où l'organisation onusienne est très active en raison du conflit armé qui déchire le pays depuis plus de deux ans ». Mais le Pays appelle « l'Afrique à prendre ses responsabilités en travaillant à éviter les situations de conflit qui contribuent à retarder le développement du continent, en plus de plonger les populations dans la précarité et la tourmente », conclut le site burkinabè.

Send us a textCharles MacArthur Emanuel—known to many as Chuckie Taylor—speaks to us from United States Penitentiary Lee in Virginia, where he is serving a 97-year sentence under a conviction he has always challenged. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, he shares the story the world hasn't heard.Far from the one-dimensional villain of news headlines, Emanuel reveals himself as a man searching for truth, accountability, and redemption. Born in Boston to a Trinidadian mother and Liberian father, he was raised with Caribbean values of respect and “manas” long before Liberia's brutal civil conflict. An assassination attempt on his father, President Charles Taylor, pushed him toward creating the Anti-Terrorist Unit to protect his family—a decision he says was driven by loyalty, not lust for power.Chuckie Taylor describes himself now as “Gomai,” a man in philosophical transition who rejects the narrative of a sadistic warlord and asks the world to recognize his growth and humanity. He argues he was unfairly targeted as the only U.S. citizen convicted under federal anti-torture laws—an unprecedented case that he says was more about politics than justice.This conversation is about complicating the easy story. It's about giving voice to the condemned and confronting the uncomfortable question: What if this man deserves a second chance?

Send us a textChuckie Taylor opens up about his remarkable journey across three continents in this candid conversation about identity, family, and cultural adaptation. Born in Boston to a Trinidadian mother and Liberian father, Chuck's early years were split between American neighborhoods before ultimately being sent to live with his father—who would later become Liberia's president—during his teenage years.With refreshing honesty, Chuckie describes himself as a "hip-hop baby" who grew up listening to Wu-Tang Clan and Black Moon while also connecting to his Caribbean roots through steel pan and calypso music. When trouble arose in Florida, his mother made the life-altering decision to send him to war-torn Liberia, where he faced the dual challenge of reconnecting with a largely absent father and navigating an entirely different cultural landscape.The cultural shock proved immense. From being dubbed "the American chicken" to learning the intricate protocols of communicating with African elders, Chuckie found himself adapting to survive in an environment where layers of hierarchy separated him from even his own father. His reflections on parenting philosophies—"the African mentality is that the child is born to serve their parents" versus his belief that "a parent is to serve his child"—reveal the profound perspectives he developed through these cross-continental experiences.What makes this conversation truly illuminating is Chuckie's ability to articulate the nuances between different Black cultural experiences—American, Caribbean, and African—highlighting diversity often overlooked in broader discussions. His subsequent journey to Trinidad to connect with his maternal roots before returning to America demonstrates a perpetual search for belonging that many with complex cultural identities will recognize.Have you ever wondered what it's like to grow up between worlds?

From June 21, 2023: Carolyn Cole, a Pulitzer-Prize winning staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times, has covered wars and other conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Liberia, Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the U.S.-Mexico border. Over the course of her 30 year career, she has been seriously injured on the job precisely once—when members of the Minnesota State Patrol pushed Cole over a retaining wall and pepper sprayed her so badly that her eyes were swollen shut. Cole was in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020 to cover the protests after the murder of George Floyd. She was wearing a flak jacket marked TV, a helmet, and carried press credentials at the time of her attack. Cole's story is not unique among the press corps. According to a new report out this week from the Knight First Amendment Institute called “Covering Democracy: Protests, the Police, and the Press,” in 2020, at least 129 journalists were arrested while covering social justice protests and more than 400 suffered physical attacks, 80 percent of them at the hands of law enforcement. As Joel Simon, author of the report and former Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, writes, “The presence of the media is essential to dissent; it is the oxygen that gives protests life. Media coverage is one of the primary mechanisms by which protesters' grievances and demands reach the broader public.”Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Joel, as well as Katy Glenn Bass, the Research Director of the Knight First Amendment Institute, to discuss the report, the long legacy of law enforcement attacks on journalists covering protests in America, who counts as “the press” in the eyes of the court, and what can be done to better ensure press freedom.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Send us a textBreaking a silence that spans nearly two decades, Chuckie Taylor speaks directly from federal prison in a raw, unfiltered conversation that challenges deeply entrenched narratives about his life and role in West African conflicts. The son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor doesn't shy away from confronting the most heinous allegations that have shadowed him since his father's regime collapsed.With remarkable clarity, Taylor dismantles what he describes as propaganda by focusing on simple facts – born in 1977, he questions how he could have masterminded atrocities in the early 1990s when he was a teenager living in Florida. He points to the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission's findings, noting his absence from their list of those responsible for "gross abuses" during the civil war. "If I had something to hide, I wouldn't be making myself open to dialogue," Taylor asserts, establishing a system through LFTG where he'll directly address questions from Liberians seeking answers.The conversation reveals a man who has used his imprisonment to develop articulation and perspective, directly challenging expectations that he'd emerge as "someone inarticulate, someone who wasted their time in prison." While acknowledging the trauma experienced by war victims and offering prayers for their healing, Taylor maintains that propaganda has confused his identity with his father's actions: "The son has paid for the sins of the father for 18 years." His parting message combines defiance with reconciliation: "I believe I have a genuine contribution to make, but it has to be done after we confront these lies." Have questions for Chucky Taylor? Submit them through LFTG, where he's committed to addressing the most pressing inquiries about his past and Liberia's complex history.Support the showFollow our IG & Twitter for live updates @LFTGRadio

Send us a textFrom behind federal prison walls, Chuckie Taylor delivers a powerful and meticulously detailed account of what he describes as one of America's most troubling miscarriages of justice. With scholarly precision, Taylor breaks down the legal irregularities, political motivations, and constitutional violations that led to his unprecedented 97-year sentence in America's first-ever torture case.Taylor's petition begins by unveiling startling political connections: his prosecution was allegedly pushed by former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf through her relationship with President George W. Bush, evidenced by Laura Bush's attendance at Sirleaf's inauguration. The timing strategically coincided with mounting international pressure on the US to prosecute under its anti-torture statute following controversies surrounding enhanced interrogation techniques after 9/11.The most compelling aspect of Taylor's argument centers on a fundamental legal contradiction. The anti-torture statute (18 USC 2340) specifically targets "public officials acting under color of law." Taylor explains this created an irreconcilable conflict: his indictment was built on his status as a US citizen, yet to qualify as a "public official" under the statute, he would have needed to be a Liberian citizen. This contradiction, he argues, represents an unconstitutional application that violated his Fifth Amendment rights.Through court document citations and transcript references that listeners can independently verify, Taylor methodically deconstructs his trial. He reveals how the judge imposed restrictive protective orders that made defense investigation in post-war Liberia nearly impossible. Perhaps most disturbing are allegations that prosecutors shared defense witness lists with Liberian authorities, resulting in threats and violence against witnesses' families. Meanwhile, prosecution witnesses received substantial payments—$5,000 each, equivalent to three years' salary in Liberia.Taylor's voice carries the weight of someone who has spent years studying law from inside prison walls, determined to understand how the system failed him. His petition isn't just a plea for personal justice, but a warning about how media manipulation, political convenience, and prosecutorial overreach can combine to deprive anyone of liberty. Without clemency or pardon intervention, Taylor states plainly, "I will die in prison."Support the showFollow our IG & Twitter for live updates @LFTGRadio

God's Existence: Deeper Thoughts for Greater Insights by Gary R. Lindberg Amazon.com Garyrlindberg.com Does evolution contradict the Bible, or is it another tool God used for Creation? Why was the Old Testament written? What should Genesis tell us about creation? How should we look at certain issues raised in Genesis such as Adam and Eve, missing people, descendants of Adam, and even the Great Flood? We want to evaluate whether or not Moses was real, and whether or not the Exodus really happened. When did the alleged Exodus actually occur? We seek answers to these and other questions to get a better understanding of those events so long ago. The answers may be shocking, surprising, or different than what we were told. A profound book that is "on fire" to discover new truths to age-old questions.About the author Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the author's parents moved just before his seventh birthday to Santa Maria, California. There he grew up and attended grade schools up through high school. The author is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in U. S. History. Then he volunteered to join the Peace Corps for two and a half years during which he taught primary school students and teachers various techniques in a trial school gardens program in the Ivory Coast which is located in West Africa between Liberia and Ghana. He became fluent in French during that time. After his Peace Corps service, he toured Europe and visited primarily Italy, Germany (including East Berlin then under Communist control), France, England, and the Netherlands. Since he was drafted, he volunteered for the Navy in which he served for four years. Next, he went to San Francisco State University where he earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a concentration in Management and Personnel. After that he began his 43-year career as a Human Resources professional for a number of major companies including National Gypsum, Celotex, McCormick (spices), Del Monte, Quebecor Printing, and Micro Lithography, Inc. He retired in November, 2019 to pursue personal endeavors.
