Podcasts about lumumba

Steven O'Neill and myself get to the meat and potatoes of why he's on the show today and that's to defend himself against the attacks brought forward by Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and his media henchman Othor Cain calling him a racist and insinuating that he's in the KKK for having the audacity to question Lumumba and suggest that he is accountable for the chaos that happened at the st. paddy parade.

Andrée Blouin fought ardently for her belief in independence from imperial power. We look at her life, legacy and how colonial law impacted her experiences: from growing up in an orphanage, to losing her son from a treatable illness. Blouin used her experiences to advocate for women's rights both against traditional customs and European imperialism. How did she end up on the periphery of post-independent African history?

Warning: this pod contains description of violence from the beginning. “They died in the hands of the state. And to die in the hands of the state – that's something we can't just let pass… Without their rights they cannot rest in peace.” Nearly a month ago, M23 rebels captured the regional capital Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. At the time, one of the worst reported atrocities of the conflict took place – when more than 150 women prisoners and their children were killed in Munzenze Prison - after an intense fire broke out. The UN says most of the women were probably subjected to sexual violence before they died. The horror of it all has left family members trying desperately to find the remains of their loved ones. In this episode, Alan Kasujja speaks to Mwamisyo, an activist who was a prisoner at the time of the fire, and to Lumumba, whose aunt was one of the women who died.

John Perkins is a storyteller. His stories tell of his work as an economic hit man, creator of a death economy that is polluting and consuming itself into extinction. He has served as advisor to the World Bank, UN, IMF, Fortune 500 corporations, and government and business leaders across the globe. “You know, my job was pretty easy, generally speaking, because I was offering the president of a country or his finance minister, whoever, a big loan. And the fact that this loan would help him and his family, his friends – they owned the businesses in most cases – they were the ones who benefited from big infrastructure” “They knew that if they didn't accept this deal, the people we call the jackals would come in and they would either overthrow or assassinate the President, whoever was responsible. And, you know, the United States has admitted to this over and over. Allende in Chile, Mossadegh in Iran, Lumumba in the Congo. My two clients. We haven't admitted to that one yet, but we have admitted to Diem in Vietnam and more recently [Manuel] Zelaya in Honduras. We've admitted to these things.” For seven out of his ten years as an economic hit man, John believed what he was taught in business school: to help a poor country pull itself out of poverty, you invest heavily in infrastructure. Statistically this can be shown to increase the country's economy – its GDP and GDP per capita. Per capita implies that everybody in the country is participating, but that's just not true. “GDP primarily measures how well the wealthy are doing and the big corporations.” John's insights are not merely theoretical; they are rooted in personal experience. In other episodes of this podcast, we've talked about cycles of debt that sink global South nations into dire poverty. In this conversation, John recounts the manipulative tactics for securing lucrative contracts for US corporations across the globe, thus creating these debt traps. To repair the damage, John urges a radical shift towards a ‘life economy'—one that focuses on sustainability, equity, and regeneration. John Perkins served as Chief Economist at a major consulting firm and was advisor to the World Bank, UN, IMF, Fortune 500 corporations, and government and business leaders in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States. Before that, he apprenticed with shamans when he lived in the Amazon rainforest from 1968 to 1971 and has since studied with shamans from many different cultures. His eleven books on economics, shamanism, and transformation include the Confessions of an Economic Hit Man trilogy; Shapeshifting; The World Is as You Dream It; and Touching the Jaguar. They have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 70 weeks, sold millions of copies, and are published in at least 38 languages. https://johnperkins.org/

Join us for an insightful morning as Griot Baba Lumumba from Umoja House in Washington, D.C., returns to our classroom on Tuesday to delve into the question: Is understanding our Black history the key to our liberation? Before Baba Lumumba shares his wisdom, economist Dr. Julianne Malveaux will take the mic to evaluate the impact of the Trump administration's economic policies. Before her, Math Guru Akil Parker will provide a valuable check-in, and author Simeon Booker Muhammad will explore the intriguing intersection of UFOs and the Black community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's entire show is based around a simple request, I want someone to sell me on the incentives for someone to move to Jackson from the suburbs or stay in Jackson instead of moving to the suburbs. This is how we started the show and it took us down a bunch of rabbit holes about how & why Chokwe & his team (IMO) have intentionally destroyed Jackson to enrich themselves. We also got to see his 2022 campaign finance reports and a familiar name pops back up, Terry Lovelace. We discuss how he appears to be Chokwe's largest donor and in my opinion the financier behind Lumumba's reign of terror and the downfall of Jackson. How did him or his company benefit from the near $50,000 in donations made to Chokwe over the 3 year period of 2022 - 2024? I'm only speculating but from the outside looking it stinks!!

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba says he will seek re-election this year. He has until Friday at 5 p.m. to file the paperwork. That paperwork, though, could create additional evidence for the U.S. Attorney's Office in its pending case against the embattled mayor. Lumumba could also find himself in hot water with state prosecutors and regulators.

Thalia Mara Hall will not reopen as scheduled today by the city of Jackson, the reasons why will make your brain hurt from the stupidity. I'm joined by the one and only Kingfish to discuss this and several other rapid fire topics to close out the show.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's The Heart of A Woman. This is a rare "double dip" for the book club, as we read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings in the summer of 2014 just after the transition of the famed author and Wake Forest scholar. Gus T. was inundated with the life and literary work of Dr. Angelou during his recent Golden State sojourn. And it took Gus seeing the documentary film Soundtrack to a Coup d'État three times to accurately write down the title Heart of a Woman. The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just two of the many books in the project. Last week, Dr. Angelou detailed her Harlem hobnobbing of the early 1960's and her activist work on behalf of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. She was momentarily engaged to a black bale bondsman named Thomas. But she met a chubby African named Make and kicked worthless Thomas to the curb. She agreed to marry Make (at least her 3rd fiancé), and introduced him to her 15-year-old son Guy as her new care mate. Guy continues to insist that he's a "man." Dr. Angelou meets numerous Africans and shares with them the history of White Supremacy in the US, highlighting the counter-racist labor of Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth. #ImGoinGetMeSomeStuffTonight #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

This episode was recorded live at e-flux on September 19, 2024. The event, hosted by the African Film Institute, featured a screening of Lumumba (2000, 115 minutes) by Haitian director Raoul Peck, followed by a conversation between Feza Kayungu Ramazani of Centre D'art Waza and anthropologist Natacha Nsabimana.  Feza Kayungu Ramazani is an artist and researcher based in Lubumbashi. She is a member of the Power to the Commons project and Another Roadmap of Arts Education Africa Cluster (ARAC), which is a network of researchers and practitioners engaged in collaborative research revisiting the history, politics, and alternative practices in arts education through literature. She is also curatorial assistant at École du soir, administrator of Centre d'art Waza, and a critical writer questioning images of African beauty and exoticism. Her research on African values, creativity, ancestral practices, and technology aligns with a desire to reinvent the conception and conservative function of museums in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Natacha Nsabimana teaches in the anthropology department at the university of Chicago. Her research and teaching interests include postcolonial critique, musical movements, and the cultural and political worlds of African peoples on the continent and in the diaspora. The African Film Institute aims to create a home and a place of intimacy with African cinema in New York, through developing gradually and organically a viewing program animated by fellowships; a growing library; an active writers' room; and an expanding catalog of recorded dialogs. The African Film Institute draws from the visual cultures that view cinema as an evening school: a popular information system in the service of education, aesthetic experience, and public dissemination—employing a methodology concerning the use of cinema's collective production, and investing in viewing methods informed by different uses of time, visual and textual histories, and social struggles and hopes in mutuality between their own locality and the world at large. The African Film Institute is convened by Christian Nyampeta and hosted by e-flux Screening Room.

pWotD Episode 2818: Amanda Knox Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 237,656 views on Saturday, 18 January 2025 our article of the day is Amanda Knox.Amanda Marie Knox (born July 9, 1987) is an American author, activist, and journalist. She spent almost four years incarcerated in Italy after her wrongful conviction in the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, a fellow exchange student, with whom she shared an apartment in Perugia. In 2015, Knox was definitively acquitted by the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation. In 2024, an Italian appellate court upheld Amanda Knox's slander conviction for falsely accusing Patrick Lumumba of murdering Meredith Kercher.Knox, aged 20 at the time of the murder, called the police after returning to her and Kercher's apartment after a night spent with her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, and finding Kercher's bedroom door locked and blood in the bathroom. During the police interrogations that followed, the conduct of which is a matter of dispute, Knox allegedly implicated herself and her employer, Patrick Lumumba, in the murder. Initially, Knox, Sollecito, and Lumumba were all arrested for Kercher's murder, but Lumumba was soon released because he had a strong alibi. A known burglar, Rudy Guede, was soon arrested, after his bloody fingerprints were found on Kercher's possessions. He was convicted of murder in a fast-track trial and was sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment, later reduced to 16 years. In December 2020, an Italian court ruled that Guede could complete his term by doing community service.In their initial trial, in 2009, Knox and Sollecito were convicted and sentenced to 26 and 25 years in prison, respectively. Pre-trial publicity in Italian media, which was repeated by other media worldwide, portrayed Knox in a negative light, leading to complaints that the prosecution was using character assassination. A guilty verdict at Knox's initial trial and her 26-year sentence caused international controversy, because American forensic experts thought evidence at the crime scene was incompatible with her involvement. A prolonged legal process, including a successful prosecution appeal against her acquittal at a second-level trial, continued after Knox was freed in 2011. On March 27, 2015, Italy's highest court definitively exonerated Knox and Sollecito. However, Knox's conviction for committing defamation against Lumumba was upheld by all courts. On January 14, 2016, Knox was acquitted of defamation for saying she had been struck by policewomen during the interrogation.Knox later became an author, an activist, and a journalist. Her memoir, Waiting to Be Heard, became a best seller. In 2018, she began hosting The Scarlet Letter Reports, a television series, which examined the "gendered nature of public shaming".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:03 UTC on Sunday, 19 January 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Amanda Knox on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Nicole.

The 15th UN General Assembly of September 1960 may not seem like the most avant-garde topic for a cinematically adventurous documentary, but don't tell that to director Johan Grimonprez. His stunningly creative “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat,” recently named to the Oscar Shortlist for Best Documentary Feature, is a cinematic high point of 2024 and also one of the year's most thoroughly engaging historical/political dramas.   Johan joins Ken on the pod to discuss the events surrounding the truncated political independence that was “granted” to the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in June 1960 by the Belgian government. Soon after, Belgium (Johan's home country) and the US joined forces with the UN leadership to undermine the Congo's newly elected prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, who had emerged as a dynamic leader of the nascent united Africa movement. Lumumba's downfall plays out in the bitterly divided 15th UN Assembly. Nikita Khruschev, Malcolm X and Fidel Castro appear alongside jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln and others, who also play a key role in the story… and in the soundtrack.   “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat” is released by Kino Lorber.   Hidden Gem: “Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey” “Close-Up”   Follow: @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the debut study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's The Heart of A Woman. This is a rare "double dip" for the book club, as we read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings in the summer of 2014 just after the transition of the famed author and Wake Forest scholar. Ironically, when The C.O.W.S. last read Dr. Angelou, she was frolicking as a young lady in San Francisco. Gus T. was inundated with the life and literary work of Dr. Angelou during his recent Golden State sojourn. And it took Gus seeing the documentary film Soundtrack to a Coup d'État three times to accurately write down the title Heart of a Woman. The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just two of the many books in the project. It seems both of these black female authors born on different continents were greatly impacted by Lumumba's murder and were moved to record their thoughts, feelings and actions during this important moment in history. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 10th and final study session on Andrée Blouin's My Country, Africa: Autobiography of the Black Pasionaria. A pivotal figure in the history of counter-racism/anti-colonialism throughout the continent of Africa, Blouin is not as well known as South Africa's Madiba and Winnie Mandela, Kenya's Maus Maus and other freedom fighters who participated in combating White Terrorism in Africa. However, Blouin was of monumental importance and, consequently, a target of CIA/White Supremacy campaigns. Gus T. was ignorant about Ms. Blouin, but she was prominently featured in the new documentary, Soundtrack to a Coup d'État - which examines the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. The film makes time to quote from Blouin's autobiography about the efforts to assassinate she, her family and Lumumba. Last week, Blouin described herself as a "militant," but made time to say: "It would be unfair to say that all the whites in the Congo were detestable (Racist)" Gus noted how cliché this remark is - especially for a "militant." She then turned to say the real enemies of Africa are Africans (non-white people). She also described the extraordinary faith Patrice Lumumba placed in her - including battling on her behalf publicly. This would seem to contradict the notion of legions of sexist black males who seek to dominate females. Race Soldiers routinely branded Blouin a whore and a "communist." #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Year INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba used his most recent episode of “Ask Antar” to thank supporters and reassure residents the city of Jackson is moving forward even as he faces multiple corruption charges. In October, a federal grand jury indicted Lumumba, Ward Six Councilman Aaron Banks, and Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens in connection with a bribery scheme to bring a convention center hotel to downtown Jackson. The comments mark only the second time the mayor has discussed the indictment since it was unsealed on November 7. “People have been keeping me lifted up... sending me daily text messages, prayers, Scriptures, lifting up my family, not only in Jackson but around the country,” he said. “These are the moments that you're taught who really are your friends and who support you, and I've been grateful for that support.” Lumumba, dressed in a gray sweater and a black button-up shirt, reiterated statements he made outside of the Thad Cochran Federal Courthouse last month, that he was going to continue to fight the charges and work for residents. “I don't want anyone to be fearful for that,” he said. “I'm going to move around. I'm not going to walk around as if I'm guilty of something I am not.” He pointed to the fact that after his arraignment, he went to Tampa, Florida, for the National League of Cities Centennial Summit “to seek solutions for the city” and to “appear for multiple speaking engagements.” “[I want] our residents to know that, as I've said, ‘I'm not only innocent, but I'm going to fight those charges and I'll let my attorneys handle that,'” he said. “I owe them a responsibility, and so I'm going to make certain I maintain and adhere to that responsibility.” “We're still working, we're still meeting, we're still seeking solutions to the problems that face Jackson residents every day... I'm grateful to have a team around me that can focus in.” Lumumba is charged with conspiracy, federal program bribery, the use of an interstate facility in aid of racketeering, honest services wire fraud, and money laundering after he allegedly accepted $50,000 in bribes to benefit developers wanting to bring a convention center hotel to Jackson. The developers, who claimed to be with Facility Solutions Team out of Hendersonville, Tennessee, turned out to be confidential human sources with the FBI. The mayor told Director of Communications Melissa Faith Payne during the roughly 30-minute episode that this was not the first time he's been investigated by the agency, and that he's dealt with the FBI “my entire life.” “We were often surveilled. To this day, I actually have FOIA documents to demonstrate that... I've seen my high school pictures in FBI documents, [pictures from] my mother's funeral in FBI documents, details on my parents' relationship in FBI documents,” he said. “Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to me... It's not something I want for my children. I really have to question what family, or anybody, would justify that level of scrutiny, that level of investment, to follow a family that long,” he continued. “It is not something that is foreign territory to me.” Lumumba is in his second term as Jackson's mayor. He was first elected in 2017 and re-elected by a landslide in 2021. He is the son of the late Nubia and Chokwe Lumumba, a civil rights attorney and activist who died in 2014, about eight months into his first and only term in office.

Gus T. was ignorant about Ms. Blouin, but she was prominently featured in the new documentary, Soundtrack to a Coup d'État - which examines the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. The film makes time to quote from Blouin's autobiography about the efforts to assassinate she, her family and Lumumba. Gus paused the book club while gallivanting in the Golden State, but used his time in sunshine and information-rich California to gather data on the life and work of Ms. Blouin as well. Whites at Stanford have whole files and many, many boxes of material on she and the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. During our last study session Blouin detailed how Sékou Touré dramatically impacted her thought, speech and action. He motivated her to Produce Justice and counter the rampant "tribalism" - tendency for people classified as black to squabble with other black people over trivial concerns. She also emphasized her effort to aid black females who were poorly educated and sexually abused. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdEtat #TheCOWS15Year INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

A brief take on how Africa's independence movements and leaders like Lumumba inspired the creation of Black Panther and Wakanda.Script by Howard Rambsy IIRead by Kassandra Timm

On Daybreak Africa: The mausoleum where the scant remains of Democratic Republic of Congo's fiery independence hero Patrice Lumumba are interred has been vandalized, the culture ministry said Tuesday. Plus, Mozambique's post-election violence looms high on the agenda as SADC leaders meet in Zimbabwe Wednesday.

The G20 summit has ended in Brazil. What's in it for Africa? The wife of Ugandan opposition leader Besigye says her husband was kidnapped in Kenya and is being held in a military jail in Uganda. A look at Artificial Intelligence in action at the Africa Tech Festival. For these and more tune in to Daybreak Africa!

Patrice Lumumba was the first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for just ten weeks in 1960. The brevity of Lumumba's time in charge reflects he difficulties of governing an enormous, ethnically diverse country deliberately underdeveloped by its former Belgian colonial masters. But it was the fomenting rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union over Africa that had the largest impact on Lumumba's time as prime minister.My guest today is Stuart A. Reid. Stuart is a Senior Fellow for History and Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, and was previously an editor at Foreign Affairs between 2008 and 2024.

The film makes time to quote from Blouin's autobiography about the efforts to assassinate she, her family and Lumumba. Last week, Blouin detailed her intimate connection with her attempted mother. Despite the fact that her mom detested her counter-racist efforts - even her work to get better medical treatment for non-white children. Blouin detailed the sad history of black males abusing black females to release their frustrations about the System of White Supremacy. #FirstTimeLastTime Portions of her work also seemed to suggest that Blouin's activist work was the result of her having a White father and producing children with several White Men. She contrasted the White Male ambition with the alleged cowardice and abuse of black males. This didn't sound like her mother's former partner Joseph Mialou, a decent black male whom her mother rejected. Didn't sound like Patrice Lumumba either. #AppleEvent #FirstTimeLastTime #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

En 2016, il avait dénoncé des faits de corruption sous le régime de Joseph Kabila, et avait dû s'exiler à la suite de menaces de mort. Aujourd'hui, huit ans après, l'ex-banquier Jean-Jacques Lumumba rentre à Kinshasa, et espère pouvoir défendre sur place, au Congo, les lanceurs d'alerte qui, comme lui, traquent l'argent sale et ceux qui en profitent. En ligne de la capitale congolaise, le petit-neveu de Patrice Lumumba répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : Jean-Jacques Lumumba, où en est la lutte anti-corruption aujourd'hui en RD Congo ? Jean-Jacques Lumumba : La lutte anti-corruption est en train de vivre des moments assez compliqués parce que, vous savez, il y a une institution qui a le vent en poupe, qui lutte contre la corruption, qui est l'Inspection générale des finances (IGF), chapeautée par Monsieur Jules Alingete. Mais la justice fait encore défaut parce que, pour beaucoup de dossiers, il n'y a pas d'avancées significatives.Et alors, quand certaines personnes sont incriminées par un rapport d'enquête de l'Inspection générale des finances, qu'est-ce qui se passe ? Quand une personne est incriminée, le dossier va auprès de la justice, mais je crois que la justice en RDC est sérieusement malade. Ce mercredi d'ailleurs, le ministre de la Justice l'a dit, en ouverture des états généraux de la justice, que la justice congolaise est malade. Et je pense qu'à ce stade-là, il y a quand même énormément de choses à faire, compte tenu du fait qu'il reconnaît que sept personnes sur dix ne sont pas satisfaites des verdicts rendus par la justice congolaise.Donc, en fait, jusqu'à présent, aucun rapport de l'IGF n'a été suivi d'une enquête judiciaire. C'est ça ? Il y a quelques rapports que l'on voit qui sont suivis d'enquêtes judiciaires, mais c'est très peu. La proportion entre les rapports produits et le niveau de la justice qui est rendue est très très faible à ce stade.Il y a huit ans, vous avez quitté votre pays pour vous mettre à l'abri. Qu'est-ce qui vous décide à rentrer aujourd'hui, malgré les risques ? Je pense qu'à un moment donné, il fallait faire le choix entre rester en exil éternellement et venir dans mon pays où j'ai mes racines pour pouvoir faire avancer certaines causes, entre autres la protection des lanceurs d'alerte. Donc, c'est le choix que j'ai fait malgré les risques, comme vous le dites si bien, de venir et de faire cela en RDC.Et vous rentrez aussi au moment où se tiennent les états généraux de la justice ?Evidemment, c'est une belle coïncidence à un moment clé et épineux pour la lutte contre la corruption en RDC, d'autant plus que vous savez, en RDC, j'ai deux compatriotes qui vivent aujourd'hui en exil en France, Gradi Koko Lobanga et Navy Malela Mawani, qui ont été condamnés à mort par contumace pour avoir dénoncé la corruption. Donc, c'est un très bon moment et je crois que ce sera une occasion de mettre en valeur cette lutte contre la corruption et surtout l'impact de la justice sur cette lutte contre la corruption qui doit devenir effective et assez répressive.  Quand vous avez quitté le Congo en 2016, vous étiez dans le collimateur du régime de Joseph Kabila, dont vous aviez dénoncé les dérives et la corruption. Alors, depuis l'alternance de 2019 et l'arrivée au pouvoir de Félix Tshisekedi, est-ce que c'est toujours le même degré de corruption ou pas ? Je pense que la corruption vit encore ses beaux jours en RDC, il faut le reconnaître. Mais je crois qu'il faudrait aussi dire qu'il y a une petite avancée en ce qui concerne l'Inspection générale des finances, parce qu'à l'époque de Joseph Kabila, les rapports n'étaient pas faits. Tout ce qui était dit sur la corruption était sensiblement et systématiquement étouffé. Mais aujourd'hui, on peut parler des rapports, on peut dire et savoir ce qui se fait. Les rapports sont faits et malheureusement la justice ne suit pas.Y a-t-il à l'heure actuelle, au sein du pouvoir, des dirigeants congolais qui voient votre retour d'un bon œil ? Evidemment, il y a des dirigeants qui ont facilité ce retour et je dois le reconnaître. J'ai cité par exemple le directeur de cabinet adjoint du chef de l'État, Monsieur André Wameso, ou l'inspecteur général des finances, Monsieur Jules Alingete. Il y a beaucoup d'autres personnes qui ont rendu ce retour facile parce qu'elles estiment que cela pourrait contribuer à faire avancer des questions de lutte contre la corruption.Mais vous savez que vous allez déranger d'autres personnalités congolaises ?Je le sais très bien. Je me prépare à ça. Le combat va être rude, mais je pense que c'est la vérité et la justice qui vont finir par gagner.Et avez-vous pu évaluer la perte que représente la corruption pour l'économie du Congo ? Plusieurs rapports, il y a quelques années, ont évalué une perte sèche de plus de 15 milliards de dollars américains tous les ans à cause de la corruption en RDC.Alors vous parlez de 15 milliards. Or, à l'heure actuelle, le budget du Congo tourne autour de 12 milliards de dollars. Voulez-vous dire que, sans la corruption, on pourrait doubler ce budget ? Evidemment, je crois que le budget de la RDC pourrait sensiblement être doublé si la corruption était sérieusement endiguée. On peut passer, pourquoi pas, de 12-13 à plus de 20 milliards de dollars tous les ans. Mais au-delà de serrer les vis autour de la corruption, il y a lieu de rationaliser les dépenses de l'État pour qu'elles puissent être dans les dépenses beaucoup plus sociales et des dépenses d'investissement qui, demain, pourront sérieusement réduire la pauvreté en République démocratique du Congo.Quelles sont les dépenses inutiles à vos yeux aujourd'hui ? Je crois que toutes les grandes institutions de l'État, gouvernement, présidence de la République, Assemblée nationale et autres, doivent être sérieusement réduites et que les gouvernants puissent avoir des salaires moins importants pour permettre à ce que la répartition de la richesse puisse être équitable à tous les niveaux.Est-il vrai que les députés et les sénateurs congolais sont parmi les mieux payés du monde ? Je crois que les députés et sénateurs congolais sont parmi les mieux payés du monde.

The overwhelming majority of today's show was discussing the Lumumba crime family and the Lumumba himself coming out and admitting he's been indicted on federal charges

Last week, Blouin detailed her traumatic concerns for the health of her second child. Her latest White male partner seemed ambivalent or unconcerned about securing medical attention. He only relented when Blouin caused a public spectacle arguing with White people who insisted medical assistance is for Whites only. The White man refused to allow her mother into his residence and made it a habit to brutalize and maim the black people who served him. Ironically, Blouin's mother castigated her for being tragically involved with a White Man. Earlier in the book, mom was pissed that Blouin rejected White suitors. #CantWin #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdEtat #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Griot Baba Lumumba is back in our classroom this Tuesday morning, and you won't want to miss it! Known for his thought-provoking discussions, Baba Lumumba will explore "The Golden Age of Black Consciousness," covering the transformative period from 1955 to 1995. This era was crucial for fostering Black understanding, unity, and resistance. In addition, DC activists are joining us to stand against a city council plan that threatens to block protests in our community. We'll also hear from Detroit-based talk show host Michael Imhotep during this enlightening session.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba responded Monday to claims that he could be one of the three remaining unidentified co-conspirators involved in a bribery scheme that has brought down one city councilwoman. “With respect to any allegations or speculation on that, I have never conspired with anyone to commit a crime,” he said. “There may be a time and place where I will expound on that at an appropriate moment, but at this point in time, that's all I have to represent.” Lumumba spoke to reporters at a media briefing on Monday, where he responded to questions regarding the recent bill of information released on Sherik Marve' Smith. The Hinds County businessman pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery last week in U.S. District Court in connection with a scheme to seek city officials' support for a convention center hotel project. Smith was the second domino to fall in the investigation. In August, former Ward 2 Councilwoman Angelique Lee also pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge after she took nearly $20,000 in cash and gifts from FBI sources posing as developers. According to the bill of information, there are at least three more unindicted, unnamed co-conspirators, including two elected city officials, one of whom received a $10,000 contribution to his re-election campaign to direct a city employee to move the date developers could request to the city's request for qualifications. The mayor is the only elected official in the city who can direct city employees, per state statute. The council can direct the Clerk of the Council and clerk staffers. When asked if he was associated with Smith, Lumumba said he had met him “a couple of times.” “I don't know what associated means, but, once again, I would direct anyone to those who are hosting that particular investigation,” he said, referring to the reporter's question. When pressed, Lumumba would not say whether he received a $10,000 campaign donation, reiterating his earlier comments. He also would not answer whether he is being investigated by the FBI. “It doesn't matter how many questions or the variation of the question, my response is going to be the same, and that is, quite simply, I have never conspired with anyone to commit a crime,” he said. Meanwhile, the mayor says he has not filed an updated campaign finance report since 2022. Court records show the bribes were paid between October 2023 and May 2024.

Last week, Blouin had a volatile dispute with a White Woman about the price of dress. Blouin accused the White Woman of stealing her time and energy used to create the dress. In response, the White Woman ordered her black "boys" and her hound to attack the uppity girl. Blouin ultimately repeats the same behaviors of her mother, having sexual intercourse and producing a child with an older White Man. He absconds before the pale child with gold hair is born. Importantly, Blouin begins to ask lots of questions to learn more about the world and the System of White Supremacy. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdEtat #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Her White stepmom despises her and eventually accuses her of poisoning the family dog #SWANGO Blouin volunteers to runaway, and her White father tells her to leave and never return - she'd only been staying with him a few months. She and her black mom live together, and many White Men want to have sex with this light skinned teen. Blouin's mother expresses tremendous disappointment that she refuses to be a teen "concubine" for White men.

  Jim suggests people read the books:Betting On The Africans by Philip E. Muehlenbeck. JFK: Ordeal in Africa by Richard D. Mahoney, The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild, Who Killed Hammerskjold? by Susan Williams. CAPA conference in Dallas approaching fast! September 27th is the 60th anniversary of the release of the Warren Commission. NBC & CBS ran special programming the day the Warren Commission released CBS coached the witnesses before being recorded. 26 volumes of hearing transcripts & depositions released two months later. When JFK was assassinated, 75% of the public believed the government, this decreased steadily. Many people don't know how much Kennedy supported & cared about the independence of Africa. JFK was the first President to campaign on the behalf of Africa, making his famous speech in 1957. JFK chairman of the subcommittee for the African Foreign Relations committee. In just 50 years of Belgium control, 50% of the African population was eliminated. England, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain, France & Portugal all had controlling interests by 1900's. Berlin Conference held by Prince Bismark in 1884 significant in organized takeover. Congo was the 2nd largest country in Africa, & the 11th largest country in the world. International Congo Society formed by Leopold II, in his quest to obtain natural resources of Congo. Congo controlled by Leopold II from 1885-1908 & then annexed by Belgium as a formal colony. Leopold II encouraged US to back up annexation of Congo. Ho Chi Minh appealed to Harry Truman to stop France from returning to Vietnam. Roosevelt wanted to end the Imperialism. US backed CIA installed DIEM government & Operation Vulture. Richard Nixon idolized John Foster Dulles. In 1954 JFK first heard about Operation Vulture & was vehemently opposed. SEATO - South East Treaty Organization created by Dulles to utilize in takeover of Vietnam. Diplomats started to go around Dulles & Eisenhower, seeking out JFK to help with Africa. When JFK was touring in 1959, he brought up the issues in Africa often, over 400 times. Eisenhower felt the Africans were unsophisticated & lacked intelligence to run their countries. After Kennedy was elected, he tried to buy independence for the Congo. Dag Hammarskjold sent in UN troops to help protect Lumumba but to no avail. After Lumumba was assassinated, Hammarskjold was assassinated & then JFK. When Belgium pulled out of Congo, their intention was a swift withdrawal to incite extreme chaos. Unknown to Lumumba, the Belgium government had transferred Congo gold reserve to Brussels. Oliver Stone originally wanted Brando for the part of Mr. X in his JFK movie, not Donald Sutherland. Both Garrison & Zach Sklar told Oliver Stone to get in contact with Fletcher Prouty. Donald Sutherland the original producer of Executive Action, securing funding for the film. Sutherland came all the way from Canada to do the narration for Oliver Stone's JFK film. Late November of 1964, the 1st combat troops sent to Vietnam Kennedy told the British that he would not be backing the Imperial Policy anymore. The CIA sent two assassins to murder Lumumba. They kept the murder of Lumumba secret from JFK. Why? Famous photo of JFK taken on February 13, 1961 as JFK informed about Lumumba's murder. When JFK was assassinated, his Congo policy was buried with him.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch has ordered the city of Jackson to turn over the parcel where Smith-Wills Stadium is located by September 30 or face legal action. In a September 13 letter to Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Fitch said she had determined that terms of the lease granting the parcel to the city had been violated, and the state would take “appropriate action to enforce the reverter language of the 1944 deed.” Included with the one-page letter is a quit claim deed. Fitch tells Lumumba to seek council approval for the deed, and to execute and deliver it to the state “as soon as possible.” “Should the city fail or refuse to convey its rights to the property by September 30, 2024, then appropriate legal action will commence,” Fitch writes. The letter was also provided to all six council members. Council President Virgi Lindsay, who represents the area where Smith-Wills is located, said has not been briefed by legal so cannot comment. Jackson Director of Communications Melissa Faith Payne said the city doesn't believe it is in breach. JACKSON, Miss.

Soon after gaining independence from Belgium in 1960, the new Republic of the Congo was rocked by the assassination of its young firebrand leader, Patrice Lumumba. Stuart A Reid unpicks this story in his Cundill History Prize-shortlisted book The Lumumba Plot. He speaks to Elinor Evans to unravel the tumult that followed independence and the devastating implications of Lumumba's death. Plus, Stuart reveals more about the CIA's murky role in the leader's brutal execution.
