Welcome to a new episode of the Hip Hop War Report. Today we bring you breaking news involving the Jena 6 travesty and a recent hate crime of similar nature thatoccurred at the University of Maryland. Sue Ying will brief everyone on the Jena 6 case and its latest developments. Bashir will chime in and give you the truth behind the hate crime that the University of Maryland won't even acknowledge as an act of terror. Bashir speaks with Solomon Commissiong who is Assistant Director of Student Involvement and Public Relations on campus at the Nyumburu Cultural Center. Solomon and 2 of his colleagues give us the true breakdown of what took place as well as the current emotional state on campus. Before we even get to that we have to shed light on a gross injustice by US Capitol Police on a very dear friend of the Hip Hop War Report. Reverend Lennox Yearwood was brutally attacked by US Capitol Police simply for exercising his right to appear at a public hearing on Capitol Hill. Minister Yearwood is the president of the Hip Hop Caucus a organization which strives for political and social change. The Hip Hop Caucus organizes youth to get actively involved in issues of war, poverty, racial injustice and the environment. Please go to www.hiphopcaucus.org and support this movement. Rev. Yearwood released, charged with assaulting a police officer: Part of increasing Capitol Hill crackdown on voices of dissent Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr., President of the Hip Hop Caucus, was released from custody yesterday evening, after his arraignment. He is charged with assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct outside of the hearing room on Capitol Hill where Gen. Petraeus gave testimony on Iraq this past Monday. Rev. Yearwood gave this statement yesterday after his arraignment hearing: "My role is to make government more transparent to the people, especially people of color. How am I supposed to convince other African-Americans to come to Capitol Hill to participate in democracy, when Capitol Police will go so far as to jump me when I question my exclusion from a hearing that is open to the public? We all know what âdriving while Blackâ is, well I would call this âdemocracy while Black.â Rev. Yearwood was being excluded from the hearing room, because, according to the lieutenant on the scene, he was not in line. Witnesses attest to the fact that Rev. Yearwood was in line, but he was denied a blue post-it note ticket without reason when Police handed them out down the line shortly before they started letting people enter. Rev.

Yearwood suffered severe injuries to his ankle when Police used excessive force, but said "Crutches wonât stop me from marching in the streets against the occupation of Iraq and the despicable immorality of our current Administration and Congress." The assault on Minister Yearwood was captured on video tape and is all over youtube. Please click these links to witness for yourself. Also forward them to everybody you know.

Please read regarding Aaron Patterson Aaron Patterson Targeted in Police and Fed Frame-up By Caryl Sortwell Chicago, IL - When ex-death row inmate Aaron Patterson was pardoned by Illinois Governor George Ryan in January, 2003, he came out of prison vowing to fight for justice. Within hours of his release, Patterson spoke at a Chicago anti-war rally. The next day he was a featured speaker at an anti-police frame-up community forum hosted by Comite Exigimos Justicia. In the months since his release, Aaron Patterson has proven to be a tireless and inspiring leader in the struggle against Chicago police misconduct, brutality and torture. He emerged as the cityâs single most important leader of this fight. This made Patterson an irresistible target for the Chicago police and the U.S. Justice Department. On Aug. 5, Aaron Patterson was arrested by the Chicago Police Department and Federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents. Patterson was charged, along with Isaiah Kitchen and Mark Mannie, with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and firearms. Patterson is not charged with possession of drugs or guns, rather the prosecutors are alleging that he intended to become involved in illegal activities. According to the federal government, it is involved in this case because it is able to seek sentences that are much greater than those administered at a local level. Aaron Patterson, if convicted, could face life in prison and millions of dollars in fines. The source of the governmentâs evidence against Patterson is derived from an informant who is known by the street name of Fox. Fox was arrested in November 2003 for possession of over $100,000 in drugs and was facing a possible 30-year prison sentence. Yet Fox never went to prison, because he told authorities he could deliver Aaron Patterson to them. In March, under guidance from the Justice Department, Fox initiated contact with Patterson and taped a series of conversations with him, for which Fox was paid $6000 by the government. According to Patterson, he knew all along that he was being targeted and taped by the government through Fox. At the same time that Fox was taping Patterson, Patterson was taping Fox. He was trying to trap the government agents who were trying to entrap him. As he told the Chicago Tribune, âI got videotapes, I got license plate numbers of undercover cars. Serial numbers for all the money. Everything.â Whether Pattersonâs evidence of his entrapment will be helpful to his defense is unclear, since federal agents removed loads of evidence from his motherâs home the day of his arrest. From his jail cell, where he sits after his bail was denied, Patterson was asked what his goal was when trying to document the police corruption surrounding his arrest. âIt was to expose. Letâs do something real and get it on tape. The stunt was not to get locked up. The stunt was that I wanted to do something that would put them on the spot.â Aaron Pattersonâs arrest took place just 24 hours after a federal judge in Chicago ordered former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge back to Chicago to testify. Jon Burge is alleged to have tortured or to have supervised the torture of 108 Black and Latino suspects while he was a detective in Chicago Police Area 2 and commander of Area 3. Burge and the detectives working under him are accused of using electric shock and suffocation with typewriter covers to extract confessions. One of those tortured suspects was Aaron Patterson, who has a pending civil suit against Burge. Aaron Patterson has survived police torture and years spent on death row for a crime he didnât commit and he came out swinging against a corrupt and racist criminal justice system. By targeting him, the Chicago Police Department and the U.S. Justice Department are trying to tell victims of police and prosecutorial misconduct to suffer in silence. Anti-police corruption activists will not stay silent. Instead we will raise our voices to denounce this latest frame-up and to demand the immediate release of Aaron Patterson! read less

Greetings everyone and welcome to a special edition of the Hip Hop War Report. There has been a lot going on in the news and we do our best to give it to our people straight. The first part of this podcast is provided by Digital Dex from the www.mixtapeshow.net This is not a simple interview, and its definitely not just another episode. This is a condensed version of a hour long special provided by the mixtapeshow.net. I encourage all War Report listeners to go to www.mixtapeshow.net and get the full episode During the last few weeks, Hip-Hop has been under serious fire from the mainstream media, not only because of the backlash following Don Imus termination, but the more recent 60 minutes interview featuring Camron and Anderson Coopers interpretation of the Stop Snitching mantra. So in order to bring some clarity to the situation, I spoke to several different community leaders, all of different backgrounds. Featured guests are as follows: Aishah Simmons An African-American feminist and activist documentary filmmaker, producer of the award-winning No!: The Rape Documentary, and perhaps best known to longtime listeners of the Mixtape Show as the older sister of Atlantic Recording artist DJ Drama (previously interviewed here). John Robinson also known as Lil Sci a producer, MC, and President of Shaman Work Recordings, which has put out releases from artists such as Emanon, CL Smooth, and MF Doom. Willie Da solo artist and core member of one of the most influential rap groups to ever come out of the South, the Geto Boys. Davey D Hip-hop historian, journalist, deejay, and community activist, whose website, Davey-D's Hip-Hop Corner, is one of the oldest and most respected Hip-Hop sites on the net. The second part of the podcast is a very special interview with Brother Jay from the X-Clan. Brother Jay speaks on conscious hip hop and its ability to reach people. He also expresses his views on the upliftment of people through unity. Brother Jay gives his opinions on the Iraq War and how the people have giving up on the system. We also bless you with some exclusive X-Clan from their latest album titled Return from Mecca available on www.Xclanmusic.com Finally we have political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal speaking on decolonization and how the same struggle is fought on a global front. We are very blessed to have Mumia's voice to enlighten our struggle right here on the Hip Hop War Report. Thank You MUMIA! FREE MUMIA ABU JAMAL! Please make note of this date on your calendars! MAY 17: ALL OUT IN PHILADELPHIA IN SUPPORT OF MUMIA! On May 17th Mumia's case will be reviewed by The Third Circuit Court Of Appeals in Philadelphia to decide whether Mumia gets a new trial, life in prison without parole, or execution. The whole world is watching how The Third Circuit will rule. We must let them know where we stand: Only Mumia's release or a new trial is acceptable! MAY 17 WILL BE THE START OF AN ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL STAGE IN THE STRUGGLE FOR MUMIA'S LIFE AND FREEDOM.
