HipHop Consciousness in full effect for The ATL

2011-11-04T12:55:00.002-04:00

Here's just a few places where the FTP Movement will be this month:

Hip Hop for Palestine is unifying Atlanta's hip hop community in support of Palestine's biggest hip hop crew, Da Arabic MCs (DAM) and their message of resistance.

For over 10 years, DMA's brothers by blood and friendship, Suhell, Tamer and Mahmoud have told their stories of Palestine's plight. DAM's music is a unique fusion of east and west, combining Arabic percussion rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies, and urban hip hop. One of the first groups to rap in Arabic, DAM's song "Min Irhabi" ("Who's the Terrorist") became the anthem for Palestinian resistance both within and beyond their borders.

With resounding support from the hip hop community, Hip Hop for Palestine welcomes Detroit's Invincible, an MC on the forefront of the Palestinian cause & Khaki Mustafa, a socially conscious Palestinian-American hip-hop artist, plus addresses from prominent local activists and appearances by local MCs such as J-Live, Rasheeda Ali, Sa-Roc/Sol Messiah, Ras Kofi, Methuzulah and Khalila Ali.

Find out more about DAM at www.damrap.com.

WE ARE TROY DAVIS ART EXHIBIT

Raw Space Gallery

431 Fair Street, Castleberry Hill District, Atlanta, GA 30313

Atlanta, Georgia

7 PM to 11 PM

Sounds provided by

DJ Mafioso and DJ 4th Wurld

The purpose of this exhibit is to re-ignite the necessary awareness of
the events surrounding the legal murder of Troy Davis. As with Sean Bell, Katheryn Johnston, Oscar Grant and countless other victims of injustice, we forget the responsibilities we have as individuals, as a community and as a nation to continue the fight for true freedom and justice.
This art show is a call to rally visual artists to produce pieces that will make a statement against injustice, challenge responsibility, create awareness, and motivate and inspire action in our communities.
There was a Troy Davis before Troy Davis, and there will be many more if we don't take a stance.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are STILL Kathryn Johnston, Sean Bell & Troy Davis -Town Hall Meeting

On the eve of the 5 year commemoration of the cold blooded murders of 92-year old Kathryn Johnston who was gunned down in her own home by the Atlanta Police Department, just 4 days before the murder of 22-year old Sean Bell who was slain on the morning of his wedding day by the New York Police Department, FTP Movement will discuss the connection between these executions and the most recent state sponsored execution of Troy Anthony Davis.

Guests will discuss the cases, failures, progress and practical solutions.

* This will also serve as a follow up to the last Town Hall Meeting Sponsored by The FTP Movement and others...If you missed the "WE ARE [STILL] TROY DAVIS" Grassroots Town Hall Meeting you can listen by clicking the links below:

No Food, Locked Toilets and then they switched off the air conditioning on the airplane..WHAT ?

2011-10-31T04:26:00.000-04:00

Airlines passengers in the United States are supposedly protected by the new Passenger Bill of Rights. This is the report that came out right after it was passed into law by the Senate in 2009. again this law happened because the 99% (the trapped passengers) stood up to and defeated the 1% (the airlines).

The Senate was forced to pass this act in 2009. Mainly because of the many incidents where passengers rights were ignored during weather emergencies. Youtube is a repository of all the videos uploaded by frustrated passengers trapped on airplanes; who demanded something be done about their false imprisonment.

Watch this mans encounter with the TSA, for doing what ?

This man did nothing and he is within his legal rights as a passenger to demand clarity on what's happening. he is also within his rights to stream this harrassment directly to Youtube so everyone can see it exactly as it happened - without editing. This man is a passenger and not a criminal - so why is this happening to this passenger. What happened to the Fouth Amendment ?

The bill calls for a fine of $27,500. per passenger per incident. This fine was intended to make the airlines pay for their disregard of the passengers rights. We're waiting to see what they'll do to Jet Blue after this weekends horrendous incident in Connecticut. Somehow we think that Jet Blue will find a way out of the fine; and the passengers rights will have been trounced once again sadly.

This past weekend it happened again, but the twist is that it happened in the US and also in the UK. Yes the UK has now entered the passenger bill of rights fight. a whole airplane full of passengers were so angry with their chartered airlines - Viking Hellas; that they decided to take action right then and there.

The passengers actually decided on action and staged an ON Plane Sit In

WOW.. that's the first time we've heard of the passengers actually taking control of the airplane by refusing to deplane and demanding compensation for their mistreatment.

We Salute the folks who were on that Viking Hellas flight and wish them strength in their fight. There is never a time when peoples rights should be so clearly ignored.

In the US, the problem was that the air carrier refused to meet the two hour window for deplaning passengers; in the event of a flight cancellation.

These folks were trapped on the tarmac looking at the airport a couple hundred feet away. It makes us wonder if the airplane was on fire and it was during a snow storm; if the passengers would have eventually been deplaned - using Jet Blues' logic. yeah.

We hear that the only reason that the shit didn't start flying through the air onto the flight crew was because they LOCKED the bathrooms.

Yes you read right. Keep reading and get yourself a dose of why we fly on commercial airlines as little as possible these days. Even after visiting more than 40 countries mostly by airplane - we can see that there's bullshit up in the air and we're standing clear of it.

Viking Hellas Clearly Your Tail is Draggin ..

First the UK Passenger Sit In

Passengers stage sit-in on plane at Birmingham Airport
Some 100 passengers staged a sit-in on a plane at Birmingham Airport refusing to get off for several hours.
The Viking Hellas flight was originally scheduled to leave from Manchester for Athens at 13:00 BST, but passengers were then taken by bus to Birmingham.
They boarded a plane due to leave at 17:00, but were then told to get off, which they refused to do.
At about 01:30 BST they finally agreed to leave and left the airport by bus to return to Manchester.
West Midlands Police boarded the plane during the dispute.
A police spokesman said: "It was just a civil dispute and the police were there monitoring the situation to make sure it didn't get out of hand."
He said there had been "an issue between the airline and the passengers".
A passenger named Dorota said the flight had been chartered and they were originally due to fly on Friday, 21 October.
She said: "People are hungry. They have not eaten since this morning.
"The air conditioning has been switched off and it is getting hot. The airline will not give us food, only water."
She later said: "We decided to leave the plane because there was no point in staying on there.
"We are going home. We have got a letter from Viking Hellas and we can get a refund."
The letter said the plane could not take off due to unforeseen circumstances, she said.
No-one has been available for comment from Viking Hellas.

No Food, and then they switched off the air conditioning on the airplane..

ooohhhh Viking Hellas you did a very bad thing. You are going to have to pay for this big time. Clearly the fact that they bussed the passengers from Manchester and then Back was the first indication that they were having real issues.

The passengers will no doubt end up in court with the airlines; and win. The Airline however will end up being absorbed into another low cost carriers fleets and the incident will be another teaching moment for both Passengers, and members of the Travel Industry. This is a great part of why we left the corporate travel environment when we did. The air carriers were already beginning to show their hatred for the industry and the passengers.

Travel Industry confidence levels are at an all time low now. This next incident in the United States shows us why the federal bill was put into action. No One regardless of why; should ever be trapped on an airplane in clear view of the terminal.

I've personally been trapped on an airplane in Miami during a power outage; and we were forced to sit on the airplane and watch as our connecting flights took off without us. This was before the airlines passenger bill of rights was passed. but still the situation happens everyday, somewhere in the world; and passengers are paying more and more for less and less.

This is an illustration of why the US Travel Industry is no longer growing. It has reached the point of stagnation as it's basically destroyed by the airlines in their fare schemes. No where should this happen to anyone - ever.

How the Hell do you charge me for Carrying My Bag With Me ?

Spirit started this BS in 2010 with this first attack on passengers. Now it's compadres have escalated to charging for everything from backpacks, to baby strollers to diaper bags. Who the Fuck travels with a baby and no diapers ?

Talk about a Cheap Shot - Airlines You Are The Real Shylocks, Face It.

Fun and Cheap this was not - Jet Blue You Are Probably THROUGH -

‘Confluence of Events’ Led to Plane’s Stranding on Tarmac, JetBlue Says
Passengers on the plane that took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at about 9 a.m. yesterday were stuck on the tarmac in Connecticut for more than seven hours after the flight was diverted, the Associated Press reported.
One passenger said the last hours were spent without food or water and the restrooms were unusable. The wire service said the plane was bound for Newark, New Jersey.
JetBlue, in a statement today, said it was uncertain how long any of its planes remained on the tarmac. The airline said that six of its flights were diverted to the Hartford area due to “infrastructure issues” at airports in the New York area.
“We have seen media reports of a lack of provisions onboard and our internal information does not correlate with those reports,” the statement said.
New York-based JetBlue said the airport “experienced intermittent power outages,” which made refueling and deplaning difficult.
John Wallace, a spokesman for Bradley International Airport, didn’t respond to a request for comment by telephone and e-mail.
More than 3.8 million homes and businesses from West Virginia to Maine were without power this weekend after the region’s biggest October storm in decades blanketed some towns with 31 inches of snow.
In Connecticut, 800,935 customers were without service this afternoon, surpassing the outages caused by Hurricane Irene in August. Hartford set an October snow record with 12.3 inches (31 centimeters).

Jet Blue you know you are totally wrong -

“We have seen media reports of a lack of provisions onboard and our internal information does not correlate with those reports,” the statement said.

WTF are You Really Talking About Jet Blue ?

Your internal data didn't correspond with the information given to you from the scene.

GTFOH..

No Air Carrier ever knows exactly what they have on-board because it shifts depending upon which base refills and cleans the airplane.

Sorry air carriers I'm going to give away one of your dirty little secrets now..

FYI Passengers, When airplanes are cleaned and restocked at their various slots, the crews who restock never remove the old on-board goods because they are left as extras; for use in case of shortages or special needs. Any boo boo knows that Jet Blue; Including Travel Agents and Passengers. (side-eye)

And Locking The Toilets ?

Oh Hey that ones so easy that we can answer it in one plop of the poop.

Remember folks this is 2011 - they can roll a waste truck up underneath the plane and attach a waste stack tube to the airplane during De-Icing - so they can certainly do it during a 7 hour entrapment.

No Go Jet Blue you are Fulla Shit Literally

We believe that when the nickle and diming of airlines passengers began; there was a general intention to retrain the passenger mindset to believe that every part of their experience had to be purchased.

OH HELL NO

Airlines you made a staggering amount of money this year because of your vanity increases. So maybe now it's time to count some of that out to your overcharged passengers.

United, US Airways manage profits despite fuel rally
The third-quarter results conclude the earnings season on a mostly positive note for major U.S. airlines and reflect a newfound ability to manage capacity, one analyst said.
"There's no signs of weakness yet," said Helane Becker, an analyst with Dahlman Rose & Co. "What you're seeing across the board for the group in general is pretty positive."
The airline industry is on the mend after a decade-long downturn that sent several carriers into bankruptcy. But even as soaring fuel costs and economic gloom threaten to disrupt the recovery, carriers have managed the plight effectively by cutting the number of seats they sell when times get rough.

Watch This from the CEO of Spirit Airlines and tell us if you win

Thats why we are asking our readers to think twice before you purchase an airlines ticket for pleasure. consider other methods of transport and then decide which one works best for you. Into your personal considerations add these factors :

1. being charged for things like no being able to bring your own water onto the airplane; even it it's for medical use. or your own prepumped baby milk to feed your breast fed baby. yeah babies are also targeted by the air carriers.

Please Mothers and Fathers look at what the TSA did to this Mother who was totally within the guidelines set forth by the TSA and in fact Holding A Copy of the Guidelines in her hand when being Falsly Imprisoned and then totally having her rights violated by the TSA.

Now if that doens't get you to thinking - a Mother with Breast Milk? Treated Like She is a Criminal for Carrying Her Childs Milk ?

2. being charged for your baggage - when it's already factored into the price of your weight allowance as a passenger. Why are you paying twice for something you've already paid for ?

3. being frisked and investigated by the TSA which are not a federal law enforcement agency; but the private contractors of the airlines themselves.

They are not able to arrest you nor are they enforcing any laws. they are there strictly to enforce the fear factor of the over zealous corporate air carriers who want to shake you down for every bit of dignity you have; both ways.Watch This BS and Decide if You're Interested in Being Investigated for Traveling Legally
4. being over extended in every way you can be, by having to be investigated as though you are a criminal - for your leisure time purchase. Who else asks you why you are paying cash when you walk up to the counter to make a purchase and then has a problem if you don't give them Your Credit Card as a secondary form of Identification ?
watch this and decide if you are ready for somebody to decide if you are a criminal - and then violate your rights in the name of what ?
Hello America - Credit Cards Are Not Identification - so why is the air carrier asking you for yours ?

Co'mon Airlines - The Passenger is your revenue source; start treating them like customers instead of tricks..

Passengers remember Tricks are for Kids - and your purchase clearly indicated that you are not a kid. therefore it's time that the real power be shifted back into the hands of those who should be calling the shots - the passengers. because honestly speaking, until the passenger is again in charge; travel will be going now were.

We have a video that we're sure expresses the feelings of these passengers who were trapped by these air carriers this weekend - of course it's the Real Peoples Anthem - so hit it Rev DMX - Cause we
know you know.

They gon make somebody loose they mind Up In There - Up In There..

Now Fly That By Your Control Tower Why Don'tcha,

DON CARLOS – TOURING NORTH AMERICA FEBRUARY / MARCH 2012

Don Carlos is a classic reggae act with his horn section and his strong catalog of hit songs. Don is in great demand worldwide. His schedule of live shows is very busy. He recently returned from a September / October European tour, where he was again well received. Before that he was touring North America as a special guest with Slightly Stupid. Prior to that in June 2011 he did some western U.S. dates on his own including the Reggae in the Desert festival, in Los Vegas and also a big double bill show with Junior Reid at 4th and B in San Diego. Last winter Don performed on the Southern CA Raggamuffin shows in Long Beach and San Diego. That was a great tribute to Don, since normally they don’t repeat acts, and Don was on the shows last year as well. A lot of the festivals love Don and similarly host him year after year. He had an exceptionally strong performance on the Legends festival in San Diego. Last March, Don toured South America. In his music, Don speaks for all people. He talks about peace and love, generosity and righteousness. He doesn’t leave out thanking Jah for everything. “I love you and Jah loves you more”, he says. “Love Jah, and you will have everything – all wisdom.” Don has a big heart and a kind loving spirit. He is a special artist. Because of his blessings, the multitudes are drawn to him. You can watch a video clip of Don performing live at the Maritime Hall, San Francisco, in the late 90’s at the following link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=dx8TApMj4lQ. 10-27
DOCUMENTARY - RASTA: A SOUL'S JOURNEY - WORLD PREMIERE IN MONTREAL

As the eldest granddaughter of reggae music’s most iconic figure Bob Marley, Donisha Prendergast grew up in a world that revered the art and life of her grandfather. RasTa: A Soul’s Journey a feature length documentary by director Stuart Samuels is an exploration of Rastafari, the inspiration for Bob Marley’s music and his granddaughter’s desire to dispel any misconceptions about the world of Rastafari. The documentary will have its world premiere at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montreal , October 18th & 20th. The FNC is one of Canada ’s longest film festivals celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The film unfolds with Donisha's personal odyssey to challenge the often cartoon perception of Rastafarians, and her focus on putting the story and message of this movement into a personal and global perspective. In the film Donisha encounters Rastafari communities of all races in Israel , India , Jamaica , South Africa , Ethiopia , Canada and the United Kingdom . In these countries, she meets with men and women who have chosen a Rastafari lifestyle. She explores how the movement evolved in that particular place and ultimately hopes to find her purpose as a young Rasta woman. The documentary features interviews with British/Jamaican writer and dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah, who is strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he calls "street politics"; Reggae artist and successful entrepreneur Ras Levi-Roots, a Rastafarian who stands for peace, love and harmony amongst all people; Bob Marley’s youngest son Damien Marley , wife Rita Marley; and Dr. Jake Homiak, curator of the exhibit Discovering Rastafari at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute. Produced by Patricia Scarlett and Marilyn Gray, RasTa: A Soul’s Journey is a documentary that moves away from the more familiar images of Jamaica , towards the various ways in which the Rastafarian movement has gone beyond the tiny Caribbean Island . It reveals the ways in which the message of Rastafari has manifested itself in diverse cultures, how the tenants of Rastafari are rooted in history and how they are made relevant to contemporary issues. The film’s narrative unfolds as a voyage of discovery, driven by a woman's intense desire to understand the past and make a clear meaning of the present. RasTa: A Soul’s Journey was produced in partnership with Citytv. For more information, visit: www.rastaonline.ca

SIMBA AMANI : :

LISTEN
Simba Amani hailing out of the twin island of Trinidad & Tobago is a young talented music artiste. After the recent launch of his first official music video he’s been gaining popularity on the music scene on a daily basis.
This video, for his song “Hold my peace” can be seen on Synergy Tv and several internet websites, and continues to spread daily. Simba, who resides in Trincity, has recently completed his course of study at the University of The West Indies, attaining his first degree and has since dedicated himself to his music full time.
The singer/songwriter recorded his first track in 2009 and for two years has managed to accomplish quite a lot with the sole support of a few close friends and family members. Making quite a name for himself, opening for several renowned stars like Jr Gong, Nas and Jah Cure to name a few, Simba is turning up the air waves and on the road to a promising and bright music career.
Now after signing a management deal with Schizophrenic Entertainment in July of this year, Simba’s game has been given the extra push needed and is constantly working on more projects. “Currently, I am working with a variety of local and foreign producers each with a different brand of music....although I started up singing mostly Reggae, I feel the need to truly express my versatility and my many moods which would be brought about with the different genres.”
The rising star is about to launch more songs including “She knows” amongst others. Different from "Hold My Peace" a Reggae single that has gotten him more into the spotlight and so far as being called the local ‘Jah Cure’. Simba would now leave others wondering what to call him as he releases this brand new dancehall track.
This new track really shows the young artiste's versatility as he makes out the girls who know exactly what they do to guys and was written by Simba himself. Simba expressed his plans of giving back to society.
Already with a number of great releases under his belt (Hello, All I Need, Let Jah Be Your Best Friend), both locally and internationally - having stretched his paws as far as Tanzania and Colombia- the young Lion says he's not stopping there. When asked of what more he has in store in the near future and beyond, he simply smiles and affirms that the only thing to expect from Simba Amani is the unexpected.

SUGA ROY - SUGA ROY & CONRAD CRYSTAL UNIVERSAL TRIBUTE TO GREGORY ISAACS: : :

LISTEN
From Suga Roy:
I give thanks to Jah for inspiring me with this idea to do this album "Suga Roy And Conrad Crystal Universal Tribute To Gregory Isaacs” featuring Fantan Mojah and Luciano on separate tracks.
The album has tracks such as ‘Night Nurse’, ‘All I Have Is Love’,
‘Universal’, ‘Tune In’, ‘Hard Drugs’, ‘Border’ plus 12 more classic tracks. I respect Gregory very much as an icon of reggae music; he was one of the greatest singer/songwriter in culture and lovers rock reggae and was one of my idols since I was a youth.
I love his music so much that in 2004 I teamed up with Conrad Crystal to do a remake of the Gregory classic ‘Love Overdue’ and that remake was a success for me and Conrad Crystal; everywhere we performed it, people loved it.
In 2006 I did a remake of ‘Soon Forward’ with Gregory Isaacs himself! It was a great experience for me to work with him as one of the great living icons at that time.
This new album is produced by Leroy ‘Suga Roy’ More for Fire Ball Records label. I want everyone to support this album.

The Letters From Santi Chacon: Artists Remember What You Write as a Public Figure IS YOU

2011-10-21T03:56:00.000-04:00

We've decided to do a little promotions work for an artist who wrote us this week. no doubt if you spend the time to read all the way to the end you will hoot and holler at the outcome.

It seems so clear to us that everyone wants everything for free - what's up with that ? nothing is free, not even the air you breathe. everything that requires effort has a cost. be it physical, social or economic - there is a cost.

We've also noticed that when artists are entering a market without management and or counsel on their career; it seems they are under an impression that because they are releasing what they consider the next great masterpiece - everyone should drop everything and instantly feign total devotion to it.

Remember Jesus Walks ? Yeah Kanye surely does that's why he changed up his game so quickly.

The fact is, their music is not alone on that release day, ever. This is why artists like Beyonce and Kanye West plan their drops with the events that occur and correspond to their music. They actively seek out publicity, not repel it. Who could forget Kanye at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade after being booed just days before. that's what good PR is all about, working and airplay.

Even more so, artists who are serious about their careers, must learn to take every advantage and make it gold. Regardless of how small, it is an opportunity to be noticed apart from the crowd. This is how Amber Rose ended up becoming the hottest face of 2011. she didn't say a word, but she let her presence establish her place in the entertainment market. That's why she has a commercial endorsement from a major liquor manufacturer featuring a custom designed bot which looks unmistakably like Amber Rose.

That's how you work PR. every picture can help to put you in the spotlight for however long you use it properly. Amber Rose left Ford Modeling Agency and went straight to the top in a flash; after she learned how to work her PR game.

You just have to decide which way to step out of the crowd

Following this, is a conversation by email that we engaged in and just found it too hilarious to not share. No doubt this artist Santi Chacon will wish he had chosen his words more professionally; when this little gem circumnavigates the music networks and lists - like Linked-in where we received our first email from him.

From the way he ended the conversation after we had finished it - he forgot that his negatives might end up decorating one of google' s dark corners, With His Name On It.

This conversation has not been doctored in any fashion. it is re-posted exactly as written; and commented outside of the original to retain the flow and clarity.

Get yourself a nice fatty and a cool drink to enjoy with our friday Whether Report. todays question is Whether or Not he realized that we'd actually still publish the piece we offered to do.

**Hmmmmm..... Inquiring Minds Surely Want to Know**

This is the Beginning of the exchange between Myself and Santi Chacon

We are a Radio Station - Our global reach is what you want obviously. That's why you asked us to Play your music.
You Wrote Us :

(end of first Santi Chacon Note)
FYI, we have at least 1500 new submissions weekly from all over the music genre. we play what works in our format. when we take the time to do a special on an artist, it's because we see potential in that artist that we'd like to showcase to our listening audience.
We graciously extended our offer of a special written about you.However you seem to be uninterested and that's not a problem for us.
we want you to see it from the viewpoint of our visitors - they want new material; which is worthy of their time and interest. That is why after seeing one of our YouTube videos asking 5 simple questions - the Prime Minister of Jamaica stepped down a few weeks ago. This was following one of our three year investigations and revelations to our audience and Jamaica about his secret deeds while in office. - see Tivoli Stories.
We are consistent in quality; Always.This is how we've continued to grow and maintain our large and diverse subscriber/listener population since 1999.

This is the response from Santi Chacon - which is where the issue begins

BadGalsRadio continues :

As a Radio Station - we ask support of those whos' music we promote, if they desire Long-Term Promotion. That's what You asked for. You wrote us and asked to put Your Widget on Our Site, Remember ? No doubt you realize that Mercedes Benz, BMW, Porsche and the others pay us for the space they take up - and so do the artists/record companies who advertise with us. we limit our artist ads to three and that's because we choose very carefully what we'd like our reputation linked to. many ask but most are refused.Honestly after considering your response to us, we think that you should survey the other stations that you have relationships with for FREE space. No doubt you'll find it and we hope it works out for you.We wish you the best in your career,Regards,~RE AusetkmtOwner and Publisher

This is the final reply from Santi Chacon to a dead conversation which wasn't even signed - sad indeed..

You seem to have forgot that you wrote the following email address so i was giving you an alternative: But the back and forth seems very unprofessional. I have a ton more offers in regards to airing my music. Please don't email back.

Artists, Please take a wee bit of advice from an industry professional - NEVER EVER EVER EVERRRRR DO WHAT Santi Chacon has done. His total demeanor and lack of ability to comprehend his own request to us; makes it clear that he needs guidance away from negative promotion.

One of the first things you do when you want help is ask for help genuinely as possible. when you get an offer, you take it. every small step is a step forward. Instead Santi Chacon made the mistake of directly working backwards; because of his ego. Ego is something that ends alot of great careers before the artists are able to accomplish enough in the music market to get a royalty. Think Vybz Kartel. He gets his money from his sales of Rum; Condoms; and now Bleaching Soap. none of these products is related to a music royalty.

Go to your favorite brick and mortar record store and ask for Vybz Kartel; or even ask your favorite radio station to play him. Yeah..

You see the music business is a very strange and touchy feely place. so basically if you are looking to get ahead in that arena, you need to be ready to be both touched and felt out. Obviously Santi Chacon wasn't.

We still wish him well, however you won't be hearing anything from him on BadGalsRadio.com. mostly because None of His Music is Even Released.

So you see folks, this fracas was all about Unreleased, Unmixed music, from an artist whos' still showing us that he's not sure what he's doing.

Artists - Please have music when you ask folks to play it, and be ready to accept any help you get; because most folks don't bother to help new artists at all.

Here on BadGalsRadio.com you've seen us break new artists music over and over. most of those artists go on to bigger and better things. This is what we hoped for Santi Chacon, however he seems reluctant to accept reality. We simply wanted him to know that we're willing to promote him in anyway that he desires. even by showing his exact words.

Artists Remember What You Write as a public figure IS YOU

This is good advice for Artist on how it goes down and Why You Gotta Be YOU if You Wanna Be Recognized. You have to call your shots and plan your steps. Never let your dream become clouded by your lack of commitment to it. Put your whole YOU into it, and then show us what you're working with.

BadGals Sweet Tweets signal the End of Summer - week 2011-10-03

2011-10-04T01:18:00.002-04:00

BadGalsRadio continued to enjoy the accolades for the resignation of Jamaicas' Prime Minister Bruce Golding - for his part in The Tivoli Stories. Mr. Goldings successor has yet to be named; because the election is still as yet Unscheduled. We have no doubt that it will be upcoming possibly this fall.

Honey Chiles focused this week on Street Food. We explored the hottest phenomenon in eating - Food Trucks. We've posted more than 500 pictures of Foodtrucks and their gourmet fare this week, on Honey Chiles Kitchen.

While RecycledFrockery focused on the change of seasons. The closet, kitchen and home tips rolled out in the hundreds this week. Videos and How To's were posted in Abundance; all to the delight of the many new followers.

The FourTwenty Times on Tumblr began a path on it's own twitter and gained more credibility with it's move into Michigans Legal Medical Marijuana Cardholders' arena. In the upcoming weeks we will be reposting the tweets into their own timeline here in a special 420 Green Post in the Whether Report - hosted by our own Ms. Beezy.

BTW, Are You Following Us on Tumblr ?

BGRVB - Tivoli Stories Finally Claims Bruce Golding

The Prime Minister of Jamaica Bruce Golding has announced publicly that he intends to stand down as soon as an election is scheduled.

For more than three years BadGalsRadio and Mama ASID have publicized the deeds of Mr.Golding; including his secret international deals with the USA for Christopher Coke instead of Himself.

America Get Your Change Saws Ready, it's time to put these zombies to rest

2011-09-22T01:22:00.000-04:00

The angel of murder is sweeping the floor tonite. The murder of James Byrd was paid for in texas. While at the same time the Supremes joined in their chorus of Death to Troy Anthony Davis.

It is all just too much to take in at once. We were all victimized unmercifully tonight. The flame of pain will set alight the bonfire of relief. There will be no more patience. No more marching. No more petitions.

America has set the table for justice. Dinner is going to be served from coast to coast. There won't be any seats available at the taping of justice. Georgia is even using boot leg murder drugs 2 nite. Because it is so cruel.

The time is now. Not 11:08pm on 9/21/2011.

NOW.

The air is filled with voices singing one simple refrain. WE ARE .. Yes .. WE ARE.

America welcome to the new world. The world of One out of many. WE ARE ..

YES AMERICA WE A R E

Troy Davis put to death
Georgia inmate Troy Davis was executed Wednesday night for the 1989 murder of Mark MacPhail, an off-duty Savannah police officer.
Davis died at 11:08 p.m. ET, according to a prison official. The execution was about four hours later than initially scheduled, because prison officials waited for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Davis' request for a stay.
After 10 p.m. ET, the Supreme Court, in a brief order, rejected Davis' request. His supporters had sought to prevent the execution, saying seven of the nine witnesses against him have recanted or contradicted their testimony.
Below are the developments as they happened. Read the full story here.
[Updated at 11:50 p.m.] Jon Lewis of WSB radio, one of the execution witnesses, gave this account of the minutes before Davis' death:
After the warden read the execution order and asked whether Davis had anything to say, Davis – strapped to a gurney – lifted his head up and looked at the witness area's first row, which was where MacPhail's relatives and friends sat.
“(Davis) made a statement in which he said ... 'Despite the situation you're in, (I) was not the one who did it.' He said he was not personally responsible for what happened that night, that he did not have a gun. He said to the family that he was sorry for their loss, but also said that he did not take their son, father, brother.
"He said to them to dig deeper into this case, to find out the truth. He asked his family and friends to keep praying, to keep working, to keep the faith. And then he said to the prison staff, the ones he said 'are going to take my life,' ... ‘May God have mercy on your souls,’ and his last words to them (were), 'May God bless your souls.'"
Another witness, reporter Rhonda Cook of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper, also gave quotes from Davis. According to her, Davis said: "The incident that night was not my fault. I did not have gun."
"And that’s when he told his friends to continue the fight and 'look deeper into this case so you can really find the truth,'" Cook said.
Davis also said, according to Cook: "For those about to take my life, may God have mercy on your souls, may God bless your souls."
Davis said to the MacPhail family, according to Cook: "I did not personally kill your son, father and brother. I am innocent."
Hours earlier, Davis declined what the prison offered him as a final meal, Cook said.
[Updated at 11:12 p.m.] Davis has been executed, a prison representative has said. The time of death was 11:08 p.m. ET.
[Updated at 10:55 p.m.] Davis' execution is expected to begin between 11:05 to 11:10 p.m. ET, the Georgia Department of Corrections says.
[Updated at 10:36 p.m.] People who'd been protesting for hours across the street from the prison where Davis will be executed are chanting, "We are Troy Davis," CNN's David Mattingly reported.
[Updated at 10:21 p.m.] The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Davis' motion for a stay of execution.
Word of the Supreme Court's decision comes more than three hours after Davis was scheduled to be executed, and more than four hours after Davis' attorneys had filed the motion.
With the ruling, Georgia is expected to proceed with Davis' execution.
[Updated at 10:07 p.m.] The daylong gathering across the street from the prison by Davis' supporters has turned into a candlelight vigil, CNN's Gustavo Valdes reports. Hundreds still are waiting for a resolution. Some are praying, and some others are singing.

Listen To Troy Ask for Justice for the Victim and HimselfWhy Was He Ignored - Why Was Justice Not Served ?America is tired of this Classist form of just-us. today it was demonstrated around the globe and for those who missed it; don't worry, it's comming to your neighborhood soon. Trust That. The penal system has had it's unrestrained way with america for long enough. this is the death nell of the death penalty. tonight we saw Black Power at it's fullest. there was no one to deny the fact that America Is Invested. no matter games and brinksmanship the congress and president attempt to use to divert the attention of the masses; they can forget it.Americans of all classes have now seen the dark underbelly up close and we can smell it's dead cold rankness. America is ready to bury it's dead because tonight all zombies were pointed out. It was the annointed blood of the lamb which lit the firey torch that will light the path to abolishing the death penalty.

It will be done by hook or crook, but it will end - bet on that

As the Members of the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles; The Georgia Supreme Court; and the United States Supreme Court retire tonight, there is only one thing on their minds - When Will The Angel Karma Ring Their Doorbell.

For they know it won't be long. No it won't be long at all. America Welcome to Your Nightmare

America Get Your Change Saws Ready, it's time to put these zombies to rest

Mother Karma Knows Where you Are Every Moment Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles - Don't Test Her

2011-09-21T01:24:00.002-04:00

Troy Davis clemency denied! Please keep taking action, we have 1 day to stop the execution: http://bit.ly/troyaction

Georgia intends to execute Troy Davis on September 21 despite powerful doubts about his guilt. This is a letter we received tonite regarding the actions of the board. We need to ACT NOW to Prevent The Murder of an Innocent Man.

The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles has a moral responsibility and tonite they need to trust their hearts and hear that voice of question. There is no reason to Murder Another Innocent Man - because of doubts. Save Face by Saving a Life. Help Us to Prevent the Murder of Troy Davis at 7pm Tonite.

Dear Ankhesen,
We're deeply saddened to have to report that the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole refused to grant clemency for Troy Davis earlier today. Their decision clears the way for Troy to be executed on Wednesday at 7:00 PM. It's a major setback in our fight to save Troy, but this isn't the end of the road. There are still three things we can do that might make a difference:
1. Sign the petition demanding that the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole reconsider its decision and grant Troy clemency. It reads: "In the face of overwhelming evidence which indicates that Troy Davis may be innocent, justice demands that you immediately reconsider your decision in his case and grant Troy Davis clemency."
2. Sign the petition to Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm and Judge Penny Freesemann, which reads: "With no other barriers between Troy Davis and the death chamber, we call on you to take all necessary steps to stop Troy Davis' execution."
3. Forward this email to your friends and family, and encourage them to take action.
You will automatically sign the petitions by clicking the link below: http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/keepfighting
Taking this action will automatically send your message to Chisolm and the Pardon Board, ensuring that they continue to hear the voices of Troy's supporters for as long as we can keep up the effort. To execute Troy Davis would clearly be unjust. As former Republican Representative Bob Barr wrote earlier today, "Imposing a death sentence on the skimpiest of evidence does not serve the interest of justice.
The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles did not honor the standards of justice on which all Americans depend by granting clemency. In doing so, it will allow a man to be executed when we cannot be assured of his guilt."1 To execute Troy would go against the basic principles of the American criminal justice system.
Please join us in calling on Georgia officials to uphold the values they were sworn to protect by stopping Troy Davis' execution. http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/keepfighting Thanks and Peace, -- Rashad, James, Gabriel, William, Dani, Matt, Natasha and the rest of the ColorOfChange.org team September 21st, 2011

The GBoPaP must remember that each day that they rise and look into the mirror of life, they will see their destiny. If they shorten their lives by murdering Troy Davis, we predict that each and every one of them will see their own lives crumble shortly thereafter; at their own hands. Karma is a well disciplined teacher and she never ignores your intentions.

Georgia We Urge You to Turn Back The Decision Now or Suffer For Your Mistakes Forever.

Rest Assured, Mother Karma Knows Where You Sleep, Each and Everynight

We hope that President Obama has some Green Component to his Jobs Bill - which would allow those Greens to finally help to fix the US Budget Deficit Honestly. We know that if the green component was one that could actually benefit both the user, grower and tax man it should satisfy everyones' criteria. however the Grumpy Ole' Posse has something else in mind.
Watch and Learn - this is exactly how it's happening TODAY.

Do you think that the government should go to this level to stop the growth of a Lil Flower ? especially since they could actually smoke a lil bit, sell a lil bit, and then tax the rest. nobody would mind a reasonable tax on the lil flower - as long as it pays to keep the tax collectors happy, and those who like to - smoking the lil flower.

Hey YOU Grumpys' - Don't You Think We Could Actually Learn to Live with the Lil Flower, Finally ?

Hey JLP What Really Agwan - Tivoli Stories Pt. Six Asks The Questions

2011-09-03T21:00:00.000-04:00

This Video is all about the Five Questions that tell us whats' really going on in Jamaicas' Parliament right now

There is no doubt that if you have been watching the situation with Christopher "Dudus" Coke; you know that there is was a cross to bear and Tivoli Jesus has been duly sacrificed.

This past week it was reported that Dudus has pled guilty to charges of Racketeering and will be sentenced in December 2011. This means that he alone will bear the burden for the crimes of the entire JLP; and Their all knowing and presently standing MP and Parliament.

It saddens us that most of the people of Jamaica have yet to get answers to these straight forward questions. How long can the JLP continue to rule Parliament when they also sign on the line that sacrifices lives so freely ?

How Did the US Wire Tap the Entire Nation of Jamaica for more than a year ?
Who Was the Head Racketeer in Tivoli Gardens
Who gave the order to extradite a citizen to a foreign country for crimes in that third country that the extradited citizen couldn't have committed since he had never before set foot in the third country ?
Who is responsible fo the wanton slaughter of citizens in his constituency by those on his payroll ?
Who Really Runs Jamaica Now ?

Yes Jamaica We Are Asking The Questions As Journalists - since our in island colleagues are unable to. Like You we realize that someone has to make it public or we will all die wondering/secretly knowing.

So It's Moammar Gathafi Leader of the Revolution

2011-08-26T10:23:00.001-04:00

ooooooooo,, This is very interesting since it shows us something we've all wondered about for decades - the correct spelling of his name

Moammar Gathafi Leader of the Revolution

Gathafi, Hmmm.. I guess so if you spell it and we're saying it phonetically. so mystery finally solved. Now we know his name.The Atlantic has a brilliant piece on the name discovery and this is just a clipping from it - we suggest a click over for the full read :

The Atlantic Home - Friday, August 26, 2011Rebel Discovers Qaddafi Passport, Real Spelling of Leader's NameBy Max Fisher - Aug 24 2011, 12:24 PM ET
As Libyans flood Muammar Qaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya military compound in Tripoli, they're making a number of interesting finds. Most recent is what appears to be the diplomatic passport of eldest son Mohammed Qaddafi. Video of someone leafing through the passport reveals an interesting discovery: the spelling of Qaddafi's name.
A much-circulated 2009 ABCNews.com story found 112 different ways to render the Libyan leader's last name in the Latin alphabet, used in English and most other Western European languages. But, according to this passport, and presumably the Libyan man himself, the accurate Latinized spelling is one of the least commonly used of those 112: Gathafi. (The passport also shows Mohammed's title as "Son of the Leader of the Revolution," a reference to his father's preferred title as head of state.)
The proper spelling of the Libyan leader's name has long been a source of banter and argument among Western journalists and editors. Debates over the most accurate spelling of his name are so common that they were once featured in an episode of the TV series The West Wing. Some hobbyist linguists have even parsed the multiple spellings into computer code and a handy chart.

Now that we know the correct spelling, do you think we should correct all our previously written posts on him to reflect the proper spelling ? Tell Us What You Think In The Comments Section. We're very interested in hearing what you think about this discovery.
