Stepping Razor: Red X [Documentary]
On a fall night in 1987, three men forced their way into Peter Tosh's home in Kingston, Jamaica. Inside, they drew guns and forced their way upstairs where they confronted Tosh and some friends. Tosh was beaten, pistol-whipped and then shot several times. Five others were shot before the gunmen fled. The victims were rushed to the hospital, but it was too late for Tosh. He died shortly after. Stepping Razor: Red X, the documentary, explores the life of the late Peter Tosh, reggae artist, Jamaican folk hero, prophet and radical political activist. Based on his personal taped diaries, the Red X tapes, the film reveals the inner thoughts of this volatile musician. His closest friends and associates talk about the many sides of Peter Tosh, explaining his fiery career and dramatic death. Archival interviews with Tosh and rare concert footage fill out this picture of the Rasta visionary.

Anti-Communist Propaganda Cartoon | Make Mine Freedom | 1948
This 1948 Cold War-era propaganda cartoon, entitled Make Mine Freedom, uses humor to promote democracy versus communism, and free enterprise (capitalism) over communism’s totalitarian governments. It contrasts mainstream American values with the values of Soviet communism.
The point that this cartoon seems to be making, is beware of any individual, organization, or administration that attempts to escalate class warfare to divide the country and make socialism appear to be the only solution. We will always have our differences, but putting the government in charge of everything for promises that you will be taken care of, and surrendering your freedom is not the solution.
The cartoon was produced by John Sutherland and sponsored by the Harding College. It is one of the "fun and facts about America" series, made "to create a deeper understanding of what has made America the finest place in the world to live."

Unstripped Voice: Fred Hampton
Police can lie. Even in high profile cases.
On December 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panther leader Fred Hampton & fellow member Mark Clark were gunned down in the middle of the night by Chicago Police.
Police initially said it was a gunfight, with the Panthers shooting first…but the following investigation found that Police actually fired 99 shots, to the Panthers 1. It was later found inside COINTELPRO, an illegal counter-intel program by J Edgar Hoover‘s FBI, wanted the Panthers (and other Black-led organizations) to end…by any means.
President Richard Nixon supported the FBI throughout all this…
