So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.

Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

Controversial take: Make it a Visitor's Center.

Straight Outta Holmesburg -MOVE’s Prison Recruiting—and One Inmates Encounter With Their "God" Send us a textThe shadows of Philadelphia's MOVE organization stretch far beyond the infamous 1985 bombing on Osage Avenue. Through an exclusive interview with Richard Garland—a former gang member who encountered MOVE while incarcerated at Holmesburg Prison—we uncover the cult's prison recruitment tactics and the mysterious figure at its center.Garland reveals his extraordinary three-day encounter with Vincent Leapheart (John Africa) through prison cell walls, describing a "soft voice that commanded you would listen." His testimony provides rare insight into how MOVE maintained control over members, even those behind bars, through a sophisticated system of coded communications and psychological manipulation.The interview raises disturbing questions about May 13th, 1985. Was Vincent Leapheart actually in the house when police dropped the bomb? Why did MOVE members tell Garland that John Africa was "still alive" afterward? And what explains the medical examiner's notation that "Body F"—presumed to be Vincent—was missing its head, which appeared to have been "sawed" off?For decades, these questions have remained largely unanswered as MOVE members have pursued financial settlements rather than scientific verification through DNA testing. Garland's story serves as a crucial puzzle piece in understanding how MOVE functioned both in and out of the Pennsylvania prison system and how 40 years later, there are more stones to turn over in the MOVE story.As we mark the 40th anniversary of the MOVE confrontation, this episode challenges listeners to examine all aspects of this complicated story—the victims, the survivors, the uncomfortable truths that continue to haunt everyone involved, and the questions that MOVE still avoids answering.Materials for this episode are on the website - Page S3 Ep 5Information on Holmesburg Prison:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmesburg_Prisonhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/988758.Acres_of_SkinThe producers of this podcast wish to stress that all individuals reference in this series are presumed innocent unless or until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law in the United States of America.Support the showExecutive Produced, reported, hosted, and edited by Beth McNamaraAdditional research by Robert HelmsMurder At Ryan's RunInstagramFacebook PagePodcast Press If you have questions, comments, tips, or media inquiries, please reach out on social media or via email: murderatryansrun@gmail.comAll individuals referenced in this podcast are presumed to be innocent unless or until they are found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a United States court of law.

Pass it on…

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

I’m running out of words

“”This was really meant as a makeup project for women, because women have been excluded from research for so many years,” says Garnet Anderson, a biostatistician who runs the WHI coordinating center.”

Utterly unqualified and incompetent. Never should have been confirmed in the first place.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

I agree. I think he may feel it gives a bit of gravitas because he's one of those people who just looks "young." But it gives me a bit of a Bond villain vibe.

Science fiction is where we go to tell the truth when the truth is too radioactive to touch barehanded.

I would never wish the consequences of their actions upon them, but the folks in western North Carolina are going to getting the hurricane recovery they voted for.
