  • democracynow.org - For more than four decades, Angela Davis has been one of most influential activists and intellectuals in the United States. An icon of the black liberation movement, Davis's work around issues of gender, race, class and prisons has influenced critical thought and social movements across several generations. She is a leading advocate for prison abolition, a position informed by her own experience as a prisoner and fugitive on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list more than 40 years ago. Once caught, she faced the death penalty in California. After being acquitted, she has spent her life fighting to change the criminal justice system. Just before the midterm elections, Angela Davis sat down with Amy Goodman in Washington, D.C., at Busboys and Poets to tell her life story.

    I love how Aretha never forgot her own no matter how high her star rose. Still hard to believe she`s gone.
    Good to see Angela still in the fight after all these years.

      Eric, even the pen is mightier than the sword:We are governed from Washington DC, formerly Rome Mary Land given by Jesuits to rule and tax the colonies in perpetuity. George Washington sought Catholic relief to wage a revolution against a Protestant King. This Revolution financed by French Rothschild Bonds. Those bonds were foreclosed on in 1877 and by amendment the Constitution was abrogated and we were collateralize as chattel of the Black Nobility banks. George Washington is memorialized in the city baring his name by his Apotheosis and obelisk which mirror those in the Vatican. All seeing eye is a sign of Jesuits exiled from Europe and Asia even by Papal decree. My point being we live on a Roman plantation and there are no sovereign nations. There is a global network of corporate control which are subsidiary Vatican agencies. Rothschild are Knights of Malta, servants of Rome. Khazars or Caesars Bush is the same as Queen of England, dresses up Protestant and kisses the hand of the Pope. Prescott was fascist, Fascism is Roman. Its on our money. Actually Bush is an authentic american. If you realize USA inc. was constructed as a Jesuit safe house.
      The Mother of dangerous oaths is the forth vow of the Jesuit oath. The key to history. Papal assertion as vicegerent for a thousand years That is of all lands and souls of man and animal.

      @@davidlangford9107 George Washington was scion of Virginia next to Maryland, or the Virgin Mary. He was an agent of the Virginia Company, subsidiary of the British Dutch East Indies Co. which hails from the City of London. The City of London was given the Papacy by King John as the price of his crown. City of London or the old Roman fort is an autonomous part of London. There reside the Lords of Magna Carta. Though they are loath to share freedom with their own subjects. Washington DC is an autonomous district like the City of London and the Vatican. Its flag has three stars.
      Catholics were generally detested during colonial times. Many had come here to flee the Catholic interregnum. The Jesuit order was banned from Europe and Asia by papal decree during Washington's days. America was a Jesuit safe house clothed under the banner of their All Seeing Eye. Jesuits dress a Protestants because their reputation forced them underground. So we have a history of subversion and duplicity. City of London are Lords of their American empire paying duty and tithe to the Papacy.
      To answer your question of Papal visitation? Most of our history has been spent in deep suspicion of the Papacy, so they simply did not feel safe nor did they want to open up old wounds. The Papal embassy was banned by Andrew Johnson after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by Jesuit Agents. That ban was finally lifted by Ronald Reagan. Jesuits now feel safe to reveal themselves to the public.

    It was -------as I now recall------either the summer of '69, or '70, I now am no longer certain which----------that I had the opportunity to see Angela Davis speak, in person, in Denver, Colorado. I went to the Black Panther rally, such as it was at the time, & though I'm not black , I didn't encounter any hostility. I was curious to see this firebrand of black Pride, intellectual ascension, & political activist. -------Now, I must admit., I was also motivated, because Angela was uncommonly beautiful, with a strong & perfect face, surrounded by her Afro Hairdo, & I was very much taken with her. ----------She spoke about 20 minutes, as i recall, in downtown Denver, at the old Zeckendorf Plaza, where I saw Jane Fonda, in '68. -----------Angela was powerful------intense-----brilliant, & yes, beautiful. ---------I'll not forget that day. I was warned by friends that it would be suicide, to go to the rally; as it turned out, there was some trouble, but not directed at me. I kept a low profile, but I got to see this incredible woman. ---------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o

      I met her in the early 80th. She presented her book : Women, Race and Class , at UIC. Angela Davis spoke fluent French and German. She had studied in Paris and Frankfurt ,Germany. She is known all over the world! I saw another interview with her, she was talking about the time she was jailed and facing a death sentence. While in jail she received millions of letters of solidarity from people all over the world. The US Post office had to use trucks to deliver the huge amount of letters. She said , if they had given me the death sentence, at least, I knew , I would not walk alone. All these people walking with me.
