Podcast appearances and mentions of Sam Greenlee

We are BYKE...for the first couple of thoughts of 2025. I'm working on doing video for every podcast, including Clear Visions. I had a homie insist that I do a show that speaks on my thoughts that will live on YouTube. I've been putting it off FOREVER, so this are the efforts. In this episode, I speak about the "IT" factor that people believe that Joey Bada$$ is missing and why Hip Hop is judgmental towards emcees and the culture. I also speak on a few books that I'm reading: High and Rising: A Book About De La Soul by Marcus J. Moore, The Spook Who Sat By The Door by Sam Greenlee, and Culturemaking: When Creative Entrepreneurship and Community Building Collide by Houston White. Then I wrapped up the show speaking on the DEI situation as it relates to buying direct and speaking about my favorite, and least favorite social media platforms. More video formats cometh.

We are excited to welcome diversity consultant LaTrice Ross as co-host and RBG affiliate Supreme Ra as our special guest for an engaging discussion on Sam Greenlee's iconic novel, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. This groundbreaking work, published in 1969, tells the story of one of America's first Black CIA agents who navigates the complexities of assimilation to gain the trust of white colleagues, only to subvert expectations by forming an underground network of guerrilla armies through street gangs to combat the systemic mistreatment of Black communities across the U.S. Together, we will examine the novel's thought-provoking themes—assimilation, militancy, and their psychological and physical relevance today. Join us as we explore whether Greenlee's masterpiece holds lessons for Black people navigating modern challenges. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/montoya-smith/support

Last April, Film Comment invited writer Adam Shatz on the Podcast to talk about The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon, his new biography of the Martinican writer, psychiatrist, and anti-colonial revolutionary. The Podcast explored Fanon's lasting impression on the world of cinema since his untimely death in 1961—and it became the basis for a four-day series of screenings and talks we presented last weekend, called The Rebel's Cinema—Frantz Fanon on Screen. The series took place at four cinemas across New York City, beginning at Film at Lincoln Center with Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (1975), moving to Maysles Documentary Center in Harlem for Gillo Pontecorvo's Burn!, (1969), winding down to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for Ivan Dixon's The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1973), and finishing up at Anthology Film Archives with Sarah Maldoror's Monangambeee (1969) and Assia Djebar's The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting (1982). Each screening was followed by a Q&A with special guests, which we're excited to share this week on the Podcast. On today's episode, Film Comment editor Devika Girish welcomes Adam, writer Clifford Thompson, and editor and organizer Cheryl Rivera about The Spook Who Sat by the Door, Ivan Dixon's explosive 1973 adaptation of the novel by Sam Greenlee about a black CIA agent who uses his specialized training to build a guerrilla revolutionary army.

The classic 1973 film, “The Spook Who Sat by the Door,” will return to a big screen this week. The restored version will screen at BAM starting this Friday. We speak to Natiki Hope Pressley, daughter of Sam Greenlee, author of the book the film is based on, as well as Doris Nomathandé “Noma” Dixon, daughter of director Ivan Dixon. They both contributed to the restoration and event for BAM.

HAPPY Independence Day! On today's 4th of July episode, the first of the month, our host opens with a poem by a world renowned monk. Secondly he breaks down the new rulings of the Supreme Court before congratulating our newest Justice. Finally he speaks on the insane frenzy in the NBA before introducing the listeners to our book of the week, and a smooth and sexy track by Jay Soul!

Based on Sam Greenlee's controversial novel, THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR is a hard-hitting shocker that depicts a world in which the long-suppressed black man fights back with a vengeance. Director Ivan Dixon's uncompromising adaptation was relegated to bottom-rung status upon its release, and it subsequently slipped into oblivion for decades until the film was rediscovered and released on DVD in 2004. Lawrence Cook plays Dan Freeman, a head-nodding, smiling African-American who impresses his CIA cohorts with his winning demeanor. What they don't realize is that Freeman's friendly facade is nothing more than a mask for a deep seated hatred of white people. When he returns to his Chicago hometown, Freeman uses his newly acquired knowledge to organize an underground militant movement that revolts against the very army that trained him.Director Ivan Dixon's uncompromising adaptation was relegated to bottom-rung status upon its release, and it subsequently slipped into oblivion for decades until the film was rediscovered and released on DVD in 2004.

Ian Fleming (1908-1964) always wanted to be a writer. Not an "author," as he put it, and not someone in the "Shakespeare stakes," but someone who wrote for money and pleasure. In developing his enduring character James Bond, he managed to accomplish both. In this episode, Jacke takes a look at the life and career of the most famous spy novelist in history. PLUS we look at an American spy novel, Sam Greenlee's The Spook Who Sat by the Door, which was poised for success - until some terrified authorities shut it down.

As part of a series on Radical Inclusion, Andie talks with artists Fab Five Freddy and Rachel Sadd about diversity in and around the Burning Man world. Rachel is the executive director of ACE Makerspace in Oakland and Freddy is a hip-hop pioneer, filmmaker and a board member of Burning Man Project. They discuss tokenism, bridge-building, and how people with open sensibilities can widen the path for those who have not felt welcomed before. In the same way that a forest fire creates space for biodiversity, we as a community have the opportunity to intentionally reinvent our shared culture, on and off the playa.https://burningman.org/culture/diversity-radical-inclusion/LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

If you're interested in a satirical book about spies, community, and integration during the late 1960s-70s then my discussion of The Spook Who Sat By the Door is for you. Written by Sam Greenlee in the 60s, the book offers a lot of commentary on the self-serving nature of liberal politicians and activists, institutional racism, and the assimilation dreams of the Black bourgeoisie. Show notes are available at http://noirehistoir.com/blog/the-spook-who-sat-by-the-door-book-review.

The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1969), by Sam Greenlee, is the fictional story of Dan Freeman, the first black CIA officer, and of the CIA's history of training persons and political groups who later used their specialised training in gathering intelligence, political subversion, and guerrilla warfare against the CIA. For the purposes of this talk we will concern ourselves less with the paramilitary aspects of the film, but rather with the way in which the power of perception can be a force for liberation and how the Bahá'í concept of the Pupil of the Eye--a term used to refer to the spiritual perception of people of African descent--is framed within the context of the film. The term 'spook' has multiple meanings: a ghost or spectre; a spy or covert agent; and a derogatory way to refer to black people. What the film does is to use the term subversively to describe how African Americans have occupied a seemingly passive, subservient position in the minds of the dominant culture. This dismissive attitude overlooked the active power of observation which the black community utilized to learn the behaviour and attitudes of the dominant white community and then to formulate effective modalities of survival based on that information, while the white community remained largely unaware of the inner life of African Americans. It is this capacity to stare deeply into the soul of America, to recognize its contradictions; it's fissures and moral inconsistencies that is an indispensable mechanism for eradicating the scourge of racism. As the Bahá'í writings so eloquently say: "truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues."

This episode we are joined by Alana Mathews, founder of the Community Justice Collaborative and adjunct professor at the McGeorge School of Law. We discuss her work with CJC, as well as her opposition to a startlingly tone-deaf statewide ballot measure. Proposition 20 is a "tough-on-crime" attempt to push back on Propositions 47 and 57, which were designed to get nonviolent offenders out of jails/prisons and ease the state's burgeoning prison population. As you might have guessed, friend of the show Anne Marie Schubert is a proponent of the bill. So is Assemblymember Jim Cooper. We also take some time to discuss the wild misuse of funds at the county level, and how Sacramento County Executive Nav Gill lied, stone-faced, to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors about why nearly all of the CARES Act funding went to the Sheriff's Department, as opposed to COVID-19 relief efforts (where it should have gone).   Oh, and did we mention that real rent control is back?   One final note: Sam Greenlee of Alchemist CDC is pulling together volunteers and supplies to help our unhoused neighbors get through the upcoming heat wave.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled President Trump isn't "categorically immune" from having his financial records released to a New York grand jury, but pushed back against congressional subpoenas. Plus, the San Diego City Council clears the way for district-only elections for San Diego Unified School District Board. Voters will have a say in November. Also, the county Board of Supervisors approved funding for a mental health diversion program that provides treatment options for people with untreated mental illnesses who might otherwise face jail and criminal charges. And, with the county looking to change how it handles mental health crises, Palomar Health opened the first purpose-built crisis stabilization unit in San Diego County to take pressure off emergency rooms. Finally, today’s frustration and anger over racial injustice has been brewing for centuries and those feelings were masterfully conveyed in the 1973 film, “The Spook Who Sat By The Door," based on Sam Greenlee's book.

Today we listen to a creep voicemail, look for a suppressed film, and taste the deliciousness of mass destruction.   Henry McCabe went missing in 2015, and while his body was eventually found 2 months late it is a disturbing voicemail he left his wife that has the police wondering if it was foul play or . . . something else.   Then we examine the incendiary novel "The Spook Who Sat By The Door." When this book was written, author Sam Greenlee had a hard time find a publisher for it. But that was nothing compared to the story of making a film depicting a black CIA agent training a street gang in urban warfare. Did the government set out to destroy all copies of this film to keep its message from getting out?   And finally, we travel to Boston MA to experience the delicious and deadly Great Molasses Flood of 1919.   Links:   'Disturbing' Voicemail Woman Got From Missing Husband's Phone May Hold Clues Into His Disappearance, Police Say https://abcnews.go.com/US/disturbing-voicemail-woman-missing-husbands-phone-hold-clues/story?id=34177863   Mysterious Death Of Henry McCabe https://mysteriousfacts.com/mysterious-death-henry-mccabe/   The Black Panther Coloring Book http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/COINTELPRO/coloring.html   The Spook Who Sat By The Door https://amzn.to/2Q0zLIo   Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLKSyy5AwtQ   Full Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BynXfREPG8   The Spook Who Sat By The Door https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spook_Who_Sat_by_the_Door_(novel)   The Spook Who Sat By The Door (Film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spook_Who_Sat_by_the_Door_(film)   The Spook Who Sat By the Door: Special Feature Video Commentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qldPfazp_Gc   New doc unearths story behind making of 'The Spook Who Sat By the Door' http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-xpm-2011-08-18-ct-mov-0819-chicago-closeup-20110819-story.html   The battle of Chicago: The Spook Who Sat by the Door https://www.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/sight-sound-magazine/features/battle-chicago-spook-who-sat-door   Great Molasses Flood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood   The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 https://www.history.com/news/the-great-molasses-flood-of-1919   Remembering Boston's Great Molasses Flood of 1919 http://mentalfloss.com/article/27366/bostons-great-molasses-flood-1919   Listen to the daily podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts!   ------------------------------------------------   Logo Art By Ash Black   http://www.DeadRabbit.com Email: DeadRabbitRadio@gmail.com Twitter: @JasonOCarpenter Facebook: www.Facebook.com/DeadRabbitRadio   Paranormal, Conspiracy, and True Crime news as it happens!

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 6thth and final study session on Sam Greenlee's 1969 tour de force, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The bestseller was adapted into a major motion picture in 1973 and remains a beloved testimony to 1960's black fury. Greenlee died in 2014. The main character, Dan Freeman, becomes the first black agent at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Freeman gains as much inteligence as possible in order to teach his skills and expertise to terrorized black people so that they can train for a counter-violence offensive against White Supremacy. Last week's session discussed the invasion of Chicago by white National Guard troops. The invaders' explicit directive was to restore White rule and negro subordination. Dan Freeman assuaged the angst of White fellow White social workers, while preparing the Cobras to devastate the National Guard. Freeman's counter-revolutionaries capture Colonel "Bull" Evans and poison him with LSD. Significantly, in the film, Evans is drugged and killed; in the text he's allowed to live. We'll complete the book this week and present our overall impression of Greenlee's work and what truths this novel presents about White Supremacy.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the fifth study session on Sam Greenlee's 1969 literary sensationl, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The bestseller was adapted into a major motion picture in 1973 and remains a treasured examination of Racism. Greenlee died in 2014. The protagonist, Dan Freeman, becomes the first black agent at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Freeman acquires as much knowledge as possible in order to share his training and expertise with terrorized black people so that they can coordinate a counter-violence offensive against White Supremacy. Last week's session provided a well known, painful narrative of a black teen being killed by Chicago police. Freeman and his long time friend and police detective, Phil Dawson, argue over the efficacy of the "riots." Dawson minimizes the System of Racism and argues that "burning and looting" will do no good. Freeman reminds Dawson that victims of oppression always fight back and that Racists think of all black people - education or no - as niggers. Their conversation sounds like many of the conversations concerning Black Lives Matter and the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, Baltimore, Maryland and Charlotte, North Carolina. Freeman and the Cobras, his revolutionary black gang members, use the conflagration to begin their own campaign of counter-violence. We'll continue to monitor how anti-blackness is reflected in the text, and we'll note differences between the book and the film. #RacismIsNotAPrivilege INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 4th study session on Sam Greenlee's 1969 timeless novel, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The bestseller was modified into a major motion picture in 1973 and remains an acclaimed critique of Racism. Greenlee died in 2014. The main character, Dan Freeman, becomes the first black agent at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Freeman acquires as much knowledge as possible in order to transfer that intelligence to terrorized black people so that they can organize a counter-violence offensive against White Supremacy. Last week's session stressed how members of the Cobras, a black Chicago gang, became motivated scholars. Freeman articulates his rage about the waste of black genius that White Supremacy guarantees. Freeman also demands that the Cobras follow logic and knowledge as opposed to worshiping an individual; his reasoning sounds identical to Mr. Neely Fuller's concept of "united, independent" codification. Tellingly, Greenlee's band of counter-racists camafloug their militant intentions by adhering to commonly held Racist notions - that black people are drug fiends ands morons. We'll remain mindful of how anti-blackness is reflected in the text and we'll identify differences between the book and the film. #RacismIsNotAPrivilege INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 3rd study session on Sam Greenlee's 1969 masterpiece, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The top seller was transformed to a major motion picture in 1973 and remains a celebrated, and deliberately hidden, commentary on Racism. Greenlee died in 2014. The main character, Dan Freeman, becomes the first black spy at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Freeman learns as much as possible in order to share his knowledge and expertise with terrorized black people, so that they can orchestrate a counter-violence offensive against White Supremacy. Last week's session detailed Freeman's longtime sweetheart, Joy. The book explains how Freeman and Joy had similar impoverished upbringings and used college to improve their quality of life. In contrast to Freeman, Joy has no interest in countering Racism; she's more concerned with having a comfortable life and the acquisition of money and things. Freeman's battles with black people who think like Joy are a central fixture of the text. Freeman resigns his post at the CIA, returns to Chicago and after a violent skirmish with the teen leaders of the Cobras - a Chicago gang, Freeman offers to teach them to wage counter-war against Racists. Dr. Niyana Rasayon and others note that the FBI continues to use Greenlee's book to train new agents. #RacismIsNotAPrivielge INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 2nd study session on Sam Greenlee's 1969 exemplary novel, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The best seller was adapted to major motion picture in 1973 and remains an awesome literary commentary on Racism. Greenlee died in 2014. The main character, Dan Freeman, becomes the first black employee at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Freeman acquires as much knowlesge and expertise as possible in order to share this information with terrorized black people, so that they can organize a counter-violence offensive against White Supremacy. Last week's session detailed how a Racist politician seeking re-election accused the CIA of discriminatory hiring practices because they had no Negro agents. In response, the CIA assembled a cadrel of black recruits - including Freeman. Greenlee contrasts Freeman with the other black candidates, underlining their shallow ambitions for material and economic comfort. Freeman exemplifies counter-racist codification: adhering to his well constructed plan, not retaliating when insulted by Whites or blacks, and attempting to learn as much as possible. Early in the text, Greenlee foregrounds the frequency and harm inflicted by Whites sexually exploiting black people. Dr. Niyana Rasayon and others note that the FBI continues to use the book to train new agents. #RacismIsNotAPrivilege INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the premier study session on Sam Greenlee's 1969 novel, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The top seller was adapted to major motion picture in 1973 and remains a revered critique of Racism. Greenlee died in 2014. The main character, Dan Freeman, becomes the first black employee at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Freeman learns as much as possible in order to share his knowledge and understanding to terrorized black people, so that they can organize a counter-violence offensive against White Supremacy. Greenlee examines police brutality, "token" black hires and the notion of a "black middle class." Until recently, Whites made the film particularly hard to find - didn't want to inspire any black people. Greenlee alleged the FBI sabotaged the release of the film and made it hard for him to get employment. Dr. Niyana Rasayon and others note that the FBI continues to use the book to train new agents. #RacismIsNotAPrivilege INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our annual counter racist year-end review. We'll reconsider major events and patterns of the previous twelve months of world wide White Supremacy. 2014 was marked by the loss of black legends. Dr. Maya Angelou, Mayor Marion Barry, Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, Amiri Baraka, Ruby Dee, Sam Greenlee, Vincent Harding, Herman Ferguson and Yuri Kochiyama all transitioned. All of these Victims of Racism invested their superb talents and life currency in countering Racism. Whites spent most of the year tarring Richard Sherman, Michael Brown, Jr., Renisha McBride, Tamir Rice, Al Sharpton, Boko Haram, Elliot Rodger and black people in general as thugs and terrorists. Conversely, innocent Whites like Darren Wilson, Donald Sterling, Cliven Bundy, Theodore Waffer, and Jill Abramson were defended as White martyrs. This was the 25 year anniversary of Do The Right Thing, and "police" departments continued their lengthy tradition of chokeholds, terrorizing and killing black people. Whites recognized the 20 year anniversary of the Rwanda genocide and demonstrated the same disdain for black life when the Ebola epidemic menaced the west coast of Africa. There was much White noise for black corpses, but lesser, muted White effort for improving the existence of living black people.
