Black Agenda Report The Connecticut Four More than ten years ago four librarians in Connecticut fought back after FBI agents handed them National Security Letters seeking library records under the PATRIOT Act, and warned them it was a criminal offense to discuss it with anyone. The letter demanded that the librarians identify patrons who had used library computers online at a specific time a year earlier. Four librarians challenged the legality of the request in a lawsuit, represented by the ACLU. A year later the government withdrew the demand for information and the gag order. The media dubbed them â??the Connecticut Four.â?? Recently they have reunited to draw attention to attempts by the U.S. Senate to expand the amount and kinds of information that the government may compel libraries and others to divulge. It could force librarians to give the FBI transaction records, such as email metadata, links clicked on to access other websites and the length and time of Internet search sessions. Guest â?? George Christian, executive director of the Library Connection and one of the four Connecticut librarians gagged by the FBI. The four librarians, members of the Library Connection, sought help from the ACLU after the FBI demanded patron records through a National Security Letter. The Bronx 120 Just before 5 in the morning on April 27, 700 law enforcement officers conducted the largest gang raid in NY history in the Williamsbridge section of the North Bronx. Prosecutors used the 1970 RICO Act, and 78 young men averaging 24 years in age were arrested and indicted 120 on conspiracy charges. All are being detained collectively for 8 murders and firearms and drug charges dating back two decades. In one apartment, more than a dozen police threw flash-bang grenades and broke down the front door with assault weapons aimed at Paula Clarke and her two daughters, then forced them to crawl down their hall on all fours toward the officers. At a press conference, police characterized the young men as â??the epitome of organized crime today.â?? Cooperating federal agencies included the DEA, the ATF, the US attorney general, and ICEâ??s Homeland Security Investigations. Community members question this portrayal, saying the young men were not highly organized gangsters terrorizing a community; they lacked money and weapons and were living at home with their parents. Critics claim that applying RICO to to street gangs has racist implications. Under RICO, individuals can be found guilty by association. Despite gang-related crime accounting for less than 2 percent of city crime, two weeks after the raid, James Oâ??Neill, now NYPD Commissioner, promised 20 more raids before July 4. The department quadrupled its gang division by launching Operation Crew Cut in 2012. A 2014 initiative has spent over $64.6 million on surveillance cameras and singled out 15 projects as high-crime zones; at least ten of those projects have experienced police raids. Guest â?? Cindy Gorn is a former teacher of Urban Studies at Hunter College and a member of the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee.

Pat Rose joins us to discuss the recent police shootings, Michael Graves, Gary Johnson and more.

Student loan debt has doubled in the last eight years and with the economy not doing very well, Obamacare in the toilet, racial tension at new highs it's no wonder the White House is trying to clean up its legacy. A recent study released by said White House attempts to show how all this new student debt is a good thing for our economy. I call shenanigans. Debt can be a good thing if you're able to see clearly how that debt (investment) yields a return. Unfortunately, the verdict is out on college. But more importantly, the study ignores how government meddling inflates the real costs of college. I'm fired up today, be warned.
