EDITOR—New York Congressional candidate Jose Vega is at it again, interrupting the rich and powerful at high-end, elite symposia to drop truth on the panelists and attendees alike. This time Jose stood up to tell Paul Krugman and his fellow CUNY panelists that their high-minded discussion of our ostensibly booming economy ignores the very real economic pain being experienced by a large swath of the public. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how necessary Jose Vega’s disruptive events are to confronting establishment narratives.

MARGARET KIMBERLEY—n 2012 Angela Davis felt compelled to give fulsome praise to Barack Obama, including claiming that his rise to the presidency showed a connection with the Black radical tradition. The false statement was quite alarming, as Davis ignored the obvious, that the Obama campaign was a creation of the neo-liberal and imperialist elites who needed a more attractive face in a moment of crisis. Our late comrade Glen Ford observed that, “The ‘delusional effect’ that swept Black America with the advent of the First Black President has warped and weakened the mental powers of some of our most revered icons – and it has been painful to behold.”
