HELL PUT TO SHAME-Earl Swift

True Murder: The Most Shocking Killers

On a Sunday morning in the spring of 1921, a small boy made a grim discovery as he played on a riverbank in the cotton country of rural Georgia: the bodies of two drowned men, bound together with wire and chain and weighted with a hundred-pound sack of rocks. Within days a third body turned up in another nearby river, and in the weeks that followed, eight others. And with them a deeper horror: all eleven had been kept in virtual slavery before their deaths. In fact, as America was shocked to learn, the dead were among thousands of Black men enslaved throughout the South in conditions nearly as dire as those before the Civil War.Hell Put to Shame tells the forgotten story of that mass killing and of the revelations about peonage, or debt slavery, that it placed before a public self-satisfied that involuntary servitude had ended at Appomattox more than fifty years before.By turns police procedural, courtroom drama, and political exposé, Hell Put to Shame also reintroduces three Americans who spearheaded the prosecution of John S. Williams, the wealthy plantation owner behind the murders, at a time when white people rarely faced punishment for violence against their Black neighbors. The remarkable polymath James Weldon Johnson, newly appointed the first Black leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, marshaled the organization into a full-on war against peonage. Johnson's lieutenant, Walter F. White, a light-skinned, fair-haired, blue-eyed Black man, conducted undercover work at the scene of lynchings and other Jim Crow atrocities, helping to throw a light on such violence and to hasten its end. And Georgia governor Hugh M. Dorsey won the statehouse as a hero of white supremacists—then redeemed himself in spectacular fashion with the “Murder Farm” affair.This is a story that remains fresh and relevant a century later, as the nation continues to wrestle with seemingly intractable challenges in matters of race and justice. And the 1921 case at its heart argues that the forces that so roil society today have been with us for generations.  Joining me to discuss his book, HELL PUT TO SHAME: The 1921 Murder Farm Massacre and the Horror of America's Second Slavery—Earl Swift.

Human trafficking is a serious crime and violation of human rights in the United States, and federal laws have been enacted to combat it including: Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA): Enacted in 2000 and subsequently reauthorized, the TVPA is the cornerstone of anti-trafficking legislation in the United States. It defines trafficking in persons and establishes various means to combat it, including prevention, prosecution, and protection for victims.Federal Laws: There are several federal statutes specifically targeting human trafficking:18 U.S. Code § 1581-1595 (Peonage, Slavery, and Trafficking in Persons): This section of the U.S. Code addresses various forms of human trafficking, including forced labor, involuntary servitude, and sex trafficking. It outlines criminal penalties for offenders.18 U.S. Code § 2421-2429 (Transportation for Illegal Sexual Activity and Related Crimes): These statutes criminalize transportation for illicit sexual activity, including transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution or other unlawful sexual activities.18 U.S. Code § 1951 (Interference with Commerce by Threats or Violence): This law, commonly known as the Hobbs Act, prohibits robbery and extortion that affects interstate commerce. It can be applied in cases where trafficking involves coercion or extortion.Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA): Passed in 2000 as part of the TVPA, the VTVPA enhances protections and assistance for victims of trafficking. It establishes the "T Visa" for victims of severe forms of trafficking who cooperate with law enforcement, allowing them to stay and work temporarily in the United States.Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA): CAPTA, initially enacted in 1974 and reauthorized several times, requires states to have laws and policies in place to address child abuse and neglect. This includes provisions specific to child victims of trafficking.International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA): Enacted in 2005, IMBRA regulates international marriage brokers and requires them to conduct background checks on U.S. clients and disclose certain information to foreign national clients.Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (JVTA): Passed in 2015, JVTA strengthens existing anti-trafficking laws and enhances support for victims. It expands law enforcement tools, increases victim restitution, and provides additional resources for prevention and victim services.Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE): ICE plays a crucial role in investigating and prosecuting human trafficking cases, particularly those involving international borders. It works in collaboration with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.These laws collectively provide a framework for the prevention, prosecution, and protection of victims of human trafficking in the United States. They aim to combat the exploitation of vulnerable individuals and hold traffickers accountable for their crimes. Additionally, various states have enacted their own laws addressing human trafficking, complementing federal efforts.Using these laws and cases like the R. Kelly case as precedent, the prosecutors have a roadmap on how to get to the finish line when it comes to these kinds of RICO/Human Trafficking cases.   The question is, do they have the evidence? to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs and what it takes to build a sex-trafficking case - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)Our journey through the Diddy court documents continues in this episode, with a look at the allegations  leveled at Diddy by Liza Gardner.  to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Complaint against Diddy and Aaron Hall - DocumentCloud

Jonathan Oddi's allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs stem from a resurfaced 2018 interrogation video, where Oddi claimed to have been a "sex slave" for Diddy and singer Cassie Ventura. These claims, which include Oddi's allegations of drug use (such as "liquid cocaine") and sexually abusive behavior, have re-emerged amidst Diddy's ongoing legal troubles, although they were never substantiated, and no legal action was taken based on Oddi's accusations.Oddi, a former adult film star, made these claims following his arrest for a violent incident at the Trump National Doral Golf Club, where he engaged in a gunfight with police. While his accusations have been dismissed by many as delusional, they continue to draw attention, especially given Diddy's recent legal battles, which include other serious allegations involving sexual misconduct and abuse​.(commercial at 17:10)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comHuman trafficking is a serious crime and violation of human rights in the United States, and federal laws have been enacted to combat it including: Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA): Enacted in 2000 and subsequently reauthorized, the TVPA is the cornerstone of anti-trafficking legislation in the United States.

She has recently published "Fortune," where she intertwines the experiences of ten generations of her forebearers and white America's history of passing racist, unjust laws. And in light of how some of the Senators badgered SCOTUS nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, we found time to talk about how ascendant BIPOC candidates are tested to see if they are "safe" enough to be given power and authority in historically white organizations.

Hot Mess Millionaire
The REAL Reason Black Men Are “Broke”

The most LUCRATIVE capitol AND labor in American history are Black Men. If Black Men made their own money, America would go bankrupt - after Emancipation & today. This has nothing to do with spirit or work ethic, and everything to do about a system setup to discredit him and position him as a natural born criminal. In the early 1800s, enslaved People of African ancestry were considered loyal and nonthreatening; after 1865, they were considered criminals. Today, our systems are still designed to keep Black Men broke and working for free or very little, with a price tag attached for success. Dr. Venus discusses how when we're talking about race, what we're missing is dealing with economics. She reveals the ways Black Men are positioned to stay financially handicapped, from sharecropping to convict leasing, foster care to jail pens.     Black Men are not broke because they are trifling or lazy. They're broke because their hands are tied and they've been checkmated by a series of systems that they are born into. How do we begin to heal? Let's talk.    Key Takeaways: [3:03] Most people do not understand the word system. Dr. Venus defines it as nothing more than a series of actions, practices, and procedures that are invisible to you that impact your behavior. You don't have to see a system to feel it or be affected by it.  [5:00] As Dr. Venus applies her brain on Black Men, she is dealing with the brutal brilliance of White Supremacy. While we are focusing on race, they are focusing on profit and keeping the money machine going for White Supremacy.  [8:13] Dr. Venus breaks down the tricky manner in which they created many different ways to keep Black Men poor and criminals, all the way up to the 1940's. Peonage is when you do a lot of work for a little bit of money, in order to work off a debt. It wasn't just Black people affected by this and who couldn't get ahead, it was White poor people as well. Sharecropping is a system where the landlord would allow the tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crop, but the tenant would struggle to profit or leave due to inflation and a never ending list of labor. [10:45] Convict leasing was also another way to replace slavery. They worked men to the bones, and when they died, they just replaced them with another convict. Dr. Venus needs you to get this: it's the exact same system we have today - White Supremacy making money off Black Men and benefiting from free labor, most obviously through the prison industrial complex.  [20:38] If you don't know a White person who has the same kind of values that you have, you won't make it through the system. There's no Black person who has made it through any American systems without some type of support or help from some kind of abolitionist in whatever language they use. Black Men don't have that type of help more readily than Black Women, and there's always a price tag for the ones that do. Do not be seduced when they say there are Black millionaires and billionaires. Relative to how many White millionaire and billionaires there are, we're talking less than 1%.  [24:55] If you take away the people who helped you, you would not be here whether it's a teacher, reverend, friend, etc. Black Men don't have the same type of help, and the ones who do always have a giant price tag attached to their success.   [25:19] Black Men are caught in a cycle created by White Supremacy where from a young age they may get expelled from school, not able to further their education and land a job. To get by this may lead them to become a felon, and now they are in jail working for free.  [27:22] Slavery had nothing to do with race and everything to do with profit and economics.  If a Black Man has his own money, he doesn't have to go into racist structures to try to make money. [29:13] Black Women have become the voice of White Supremacy in our relationship to Black Men. We hold them in every way to the standard White people have set for them, but don't contend with the target on their back or think about their struggles and what they've done to protect us. Dr. Venus knows we have been hurt by Black Men, that is clear. However, none of that negates the structures he has to deal with, his humanity, fears, phobias, and a right to heal.  [30:12] While Black Women are the most educated group in North America, Black Men are the least. Why is that?  [33:42] When we talk about history, we talk about how we tended to him. We don't talk about what he gave up to protect us. [35:55] If we want to have love on the other side of trauma and have thriving Black families, we have to address the humanity of our Black Men and really be there to heal with them.                                                                    Quotes:  “You don't need to see a system to feel the impact of it.”  “If you take away the people who have helped you, you would not be here. I promise you. It could be a teacher, Reverend, a friend.”  “America is set up to have felons work for free, because that is how they replace slavery.”  “Black Men are brilliant. They're strong and they have a willpower that is ridiculous.”  “When we talk about history, we talk about how we tended to him. We don't talk about what he gave up to protect us.”  “Black Men are not broke because they are trifling or lazy. They're broke because their hands are tied and they've been checkmated by a series of systems that they are born into.”    Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition RESOURCES PRISON SYSTEM:  Report Finds Two-Thirds of Private Prison Contracts Include “Lockup Quotas” Private Prison Quotas Drive Mass Incarceration and Deter Reform, Study Finds Private Prisons Punish States for not Having Enough Prisoners FAMILES AND FATHERS Government policies based on racist myths help dissolve black families The War On Drug's Ongoing Impact On Black People 10 REASONS TO OPPOSE "3 STRIKES, YOU'RE OUT" MOVIES Driving While Black Race: The Power Of An Illusion Amend: The Fight for America The 13th Slavery By Another Name Reconstruction: America After The Civil War

In recent years, historians have reevaluated the role of unfree labor in the nineteenth century American West. William S. Kiser, an assistant professor of history at Texas A&M University – San Antonio, is part of this historiographical movement. Kiser's new book, Borderlands of Slavery: The Struggle Over Captivity and Peonage in the American Southwest (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017) uses New Mexico as a case study to examine the various forms of coerced labor endemic to multiple successive southwestern societies, including indigenous polities and colonial Spain. Borderlands of Slavery takes an in depth look at how peonage and Indian captivity complicated the seemingly black and white debate over slavery in the antebellum United States, and the important role the question of New Mexico statehood played in enflaming the sectional conflict. The West in general, and New Mexico in particular, became pawns in a national struggle over the future of slavery and freedom, and the institution of peonage thrust the recently conquered southwest into the political spotlight. Kiser's book is timely and important, and calls for historians to seek out less visible forms of unfreedom that existed well into the twentieth century in sometimes unexpected places.

Antoinette Harrell a Peonage Detective has spent countless hours in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., conducting peonage research in Class 50 (Peonage) Litigation Case Files, 1907 – 1973.  The Class 50 litigation case files were created or accumulated by the Civil Rights Division in carrying out the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) responsibilities in matters arising under statutes implementing the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

The files contain correspondence, memorandums, telegrams, newspaper clippings, transcripts of testimonies, FBI reports of investigations, and indictments.   Antoinette has spent the last five years interviewing and documenting the history of Donald Jeffery who lived his entire life on Ballground Plantation.  VICE Documentary is producing a 30-minute documentary on her research.

We live in a society that does not study its own history —  its unvarnished history — and often current events are analyzed in a vacuum that almost never includes the context or history necessary to understand what is new, what is old and how we got to where we are. As Trump celebrates his first year in office and demonstrations confront a year of his rule, leading Marxist scholar David Harvey sat down for an interview on Intercepted. Harvey is one of the leading Marxist thinkers in the world and a leading authority on Marx’s "Das Kapital," which turned 150 years old late last year. Harvey is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Geography at the City University of New York.
