This travesty amid today&#8217;s hate-based politics inspires the release of LadyBoss-Amanishakhete&#8217;s (A-ma-ni-sha-kete) new single: &#8220;Murder 2012.&#8221;</p>
<p>LadyBoss, who recently added the name &#8220;Amanishakhete&#8221; to her stage persona, says that &#8220;Murder 2012&#8243; is bold with music and lyrics guaranteed to stir up a variety of emotions. Boss explains that while recording her vocals for the song, she felt enraged as well as sadness.</p>
<p>&#8220;This song could be considered controversial and may even anger people,&#8221; says Boss. &#8220;But the truth I speak through my lyrics need to be at the top of everyone&#8217;s mind,&#8221; Boss adds. </p>
<p>LadyBoss produced &#8220;Murder 2012&#8243; in cooperation with Portland Hip Hop Artist Anuff who composed the music. Anuff also composed the music and co-wrote the lyrics for Boss&#8217;s 2011 album &#8220;Epiphany of Lady,&#8221; currently being sold online at CD Baby, iTunes, <a href="http://Amazon.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://Amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a>, Amazon MP3, Last.fm and other major online retailers. As of May 1, Murder 2012 will also be downloadable from CD Baby (<a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/ladybossamanishakhete" class="autohyperlink" title="http://cdbaby.com/cd/ladybossamanishakhete" target="_blank">http://cdbaby.com/cd/ladybossamanishakhete</a>) and soon at iTunes and other online retailers.</p>
<p>&#8220;People should definitely buy a copy as a reminder of Trayvon and all the issues that have come up,&#8221; says Hip Hop Artist Anuff. &#8220;Murder 2012 will cause you to think.&#8221; </p>

You can also hear &#8220;Murder 2012&#8243; at <a href="http://www.Ladyboss-neosoul.me" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.Ladyboss-neosoul.me" target="_blank">http://www.Ladyboss-neosoul.me</a> .

<p><strong>About LadyBoss LLC:</strong><br />
Established in 2011, LadyBoss LLC is a limited liability company that represents the LadyBoss-Amanishakhete (A-ma-ni-sha-kete) brand. LadyBoss added the stage persona Amanishakhete, a name that is synonymous with the Nubian Queen Amanishakheto &#8211; which means motherhood of beauty and love &#8211; who ruled Nubia from 10 BC to 1 AD. Queen Amanishakheto was known as a great warrior and woman of great wealth. </p>
<p>LadyBoss, who sees herself as a warrior for humanity, recently redefined the term Boss (for herself) to mean ruler of oneself rather than in the traditional sense. Essentially, LadyBoss-Amanishakhete defines her name to mean &#8220;ruler of oneself through beauty and love.&#8221; Such is the mission of LadyBoss LLC which is to &#8220;Inspire humanity through the heart and soul of a woman.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0402-bmanhat_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="alignright" height="250" width="250" align="right" />PHOENIX, Ariz., April 2, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Author RAINMAN announces the release of his new book, &#8220;Black Man Hates Obama: OUTRAGED 2.0&#8243; (ISBN: 978-1-4507-9302-5; paperback, 269 pp; RainMan SEZ, LLC).</p>
<p>According to the &#8220;RAINMAN,&#8221; the book&#8217;s controversial author: &#8220;The Fantasy: Barack Hussein Obama. Hailed God Of All Things, Savior of The World, The One, The Cure to all of the ills of the world, The Equalizer of Economic Disparity, a Modern Day Robin Hood, God in the flesh, &#8216;Possessor of a tongue dipped in the unvarnished truth,&#8217; Mr. Fix-It.&#8221; </p>
<p>However, says the author in his book, &#8220;The Reality: Barack Hussein Obama. Peter Principle. A failure, a weak leader; perhaps a traitor, a pathological liar, a race-baiter; some say a Muslim empathizer, a Black Nationalist, a divider, a Constitution breaker, a lover of terrorists, Esau&#8217;s Hamitic Zionist Puppet, King of Governmental Expropriations, killer of the true Israelites through his billion dollar donations to the International Planned Parenthood Eugenics Program, and facilitator of implacable legislations designed to entrench us in the mire of the madness of their agenda &#8211; Total World Domination. Who is Barack Obama, Really? I believe he is an unconscionable predator.&#8221;</p>
<p>America is in deep trouble. We reached our Rubicon once we unwittingly surrendered our sovereign status as Nationals to the foreign corporation, the U.S.A., Inc. through adhesion contracts and reception of its benefits; and we became transmitting utilities for our Straw Man to conduct Uniform Commercial Code transactions in their unlawful and illegal world Matrix.&#8221;</p>
<p>How long will we continue to ignore the plagues that have rocked society? Will we persist in playing the evil and insane game of the elite, &#8216;The Fourteenth Amendment Slaves Who Believe They Are Free&#8217;; or will we rise up to take back the liberty we were given by our Creator, to be free, private, independent, sovereign flesh and blood men and women before it&#8217;s too late?&#8221;</p>
<p>Decisions we make in regards to leadership in 2012 will make us, or it will break us. Are we so morally broken as a society, that, as the Declaration of Independence claims, &#8216;mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed?&#8217;</p>
<p>The question is, after a long train of abuses and usurpations will we finally assume our right, our duty, to throw off such government, provide new guards for our future security, and institute new government?&#8221;</p>
<p>The book is available on <a href="http://Amazon.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://Amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-1031-mbaisden_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="alignright" align="right" />DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 31, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Radio personality, best-selling author, filmmaker, and leader of the successful civil rights march in Jena, LA, Michael Baisden not only talks the talk afternoons on his nationally syndicated &#8220;Michael Baisden Show,&#8221; he also walks the walk. Baisden recently announced his plans to give away a half-million dollars to small businesses and nonprofits via a &#8220;Million Dollar Business Pitch&#8221; campaign. Listeners must tune into the radio show, Twitter, or FaceBook on November 28th for submission details.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s time for those of us who have done well because of the people, to give back to the people,&#8221; expresses Baisden. &#8220;I understand that I can&#8217;t save the world, but I can reach back and help as many people as I can and hopefully inspire others to do the same! It&#8217;s time to pay it forward in a big way!&#8221;</p>
<p>From author to radio personality, to filmmaker and now social and political activist, Michael Baisden is committed to advancing the global community to a better place. Baisden&#8217;s contribution for the campaign is not from corporate sponsors, but is coming directly from his wallet. &#8220;While I welcome corporations and others to support us, I can&#8217;t wait for their budget cycles to make a decision,&#8221; he cites. </p>
<p>Over the past eight years, the outspoken and sometimes controversial radio pioneer has advocated for civil rights issues, campaigned for voter registration, supported free health clinics, and promoted mentoring with a 70-city bus tour. Most recently Baisden took his microphone to Occupy Wall Street in New York, engaging his listeners up close and personal with protesters from the site.</p>
<p>&#8220;As President Obama said, we can&#8217;t wait fourteen months; some of my listeners won&#8217;t survive another fourteen weeks. We have to do something now!&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to his Million Dollar Business Pitch campaign, he continues to break boundaries with the release of his new e-novel entitled, &#8220;Never Satisfied: Do Men Know What The Want?&#8221; on Baisden Publishing and his new film &#8220;Do Women Know What They Want?&#8221; on TimeLife slated for release later this year. </p>
<p>To get more information on how to win a share of his Million Dollar Business Pitch, follow the show on Facebook (Baisdenlive) and Twitter (@BaisdenLive). Submission details will be announced live on The Michael Baisden Show on November 28th. Log onto <a href="http://www.Baisdenlive.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.Baisdenlive.com" target="_blank">www.Baisdenlive.com</a> or download the TuneIn radio app and search Michael Baisden show. </p>
<p>Baisden, a TV talk show host, and a New York Times best-selling author, has been recognized as one of the most influential men in radio. The Michael Baisden Show is an entertaining four-hour afternoon drive radio program airing Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. ET and combines the best in music, comedy and social commentary to inspire real change across America. The show reaches more than seven million listeners each week and is syndicated by Cumulus Media Networks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://send2pressnewswire.com"><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-1021-ghetto1_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="alignright" align="right" /></a>LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 21, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; When filmmakers E. Raymond Brown and Williams Arntz first released the independent movie &#8220;Ghetto Physics&#8221; in late 2010, they knew the film was an early battle cry, a wake up call to America and beyond. Distributed by Intention Media, owned by &#8220;What the BLEEP, Do We Know?&#8221; filmmaker Betsy Chasse, the cutting edge hybrid documentary explored the dynamics of the &#8216;powers that be&#8217; in laymen terms that the &#8216;man on the street&#8217; could easily relate to. </p>
<p>Inflation, foreclosure, unemployment, healthcare issues, pollution, crime, recession and depression: one percent was benefiting &#8211; pimping; and somebody, the other 99 percent, were being played.</p>
<p>Today, the DVD release of &#8220;Ghetto Physics,&#8221; accompanied by the manual, &#8220;GhettoPhysics: Redefining the Game&#8221; finds itself in the middle of an OCCUPY movement which could have been a scene in the original film! </p>
<p>The film features personalities that include Princeton professor Cornel West; rapper/actor Ice T; economist, author John Perkins; Emmy Award-winning television producer and social activist Norman Lear; former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney; and best-selling author Byron Katie. A colorful contingent of &#8216;real life&#8217; pimps also flavor the cast including street legends Fillmore Slim, Hook da Crook, Mac Breed and Lo Da Show.</p>
<p><img src="http://send2press.com/mediaboom/11-1021-ghetto2_72dpi.jpg" align="left" style="margin-right:20px;" alt="Filmmaker E. Raymond Brown at OCCUPY L.A." />&#8220;Ghetto Physics&#8221; a term which merges street science with the dynamics of metaphysics, deconstructs the nature, structure and &#8220;politricks&#8221; of power as they are played out in every corner of our society, and in every society around the world. According to Arntz, the brain behind box office success &#8220;What the BLEEP Do We Know,&#8221; &#8220;We see these power dynamics expressed in government, in business, in the military &#8230; in our families &#8230; everywhere. It&#8217;s a nonpartisan political film that exposes the root of all of the world&#8217;s dysfunctions &#8211; an imbalance in the dynamics of power.&#8221;</p>
<p>Expresses Brown, a genuine product of the hip hop generation, who incorporates elements of shamanism, quantum theory, and archetypal psychology into his approach, &#8220;The evolving Occupy Movement is an eloquent expression of what I have been identifying for years now. The people running the show (a.k.a. the Pimps) and the people putting up with it (a.k.a. the Ho&#8217;s) have been doing a lousy job taking care of the planet, the environment and each other. It&#8217;s time to say &#8216;Game Over&#8217; and time to start a new one. It is not about right and wrong, good guys vs. bad guys. It is about awareness of &#8216;the game&#8217; and letting people know it&#8217;s up to them to choose the role they play in every situation. &#8216;Ghetto Physics&#8217; exposes the powers that be and refuses to let those in control rule our lives anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ghetto Physics&#8221; is available for purchase now on DVD at <a href="http://Amazon.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://Amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> and wherever movies are sold online. The book &#8220;GhettoPhysics: Redefining the Game,&#8221; also available via Kindle on <a href="http://Amazon.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://Amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a>, is a resource rife with insight, methodology and a call to action for survival and success as a 99 percenter in society.</p>
<p>Participants at the various OCCUPY centers around the country are also eligible for a free DVD per a special campaign at <a href="http://www.ghettophysics.com">www.GhettoPhysics.com</a>. The film is available for online screening at <a href="http://GhettoPhysics.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://GhettoPhysics.com" target="_blank">GhettoPhysics.com</a> and via download on iTunes and <a href="http://Amazon.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://Amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> at a later date.</p>

	 LOS ANGELES, Calif. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Sponsored by Narconon International and the National Alliance for Faith and Justice, youths carried a banner promoting peace between their races.

(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Sponsored by Narconon International and the National Alliance for Faith and Justice, youths carried a banner promoting peace between their races. Media in southern Los Angeles County have often reported conflict between Latinos and Blacks, but today 35 youths carried a banner in the Long Beach Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade on 16 January specifically to promote peace and to show that the majority of youth want peace and are willing to do something to make peace between the races come true. </p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m trying to smash the statistics that Black and Brown communities don&#8217;t get along,&#8221; said Luis Guerrero, a youth from Wilmington. &#8220;You can see all these youth helping us. There are signs right here that there is a big chance for peace.&#8221; </p>
<p>Narconon spokesperson Teddy Chambers who worked with the youth to organize for today&#8217;s march acknowledged in particular Luis Guerrero and Angela Flores (from Long Beach). These and other young people worked with other adult volunteers, Danny Flores and Ruben Vazquez, to bring youth in from 10 different cities, including besides Long Beach and Los Angeles Hawaiian Gardens, Compton, Lakewood, Wilmington, Artesia, Inglewood, Culver City, and Carson. </p>
<p>Other sponsoring groups were SoCal Foster Care Mentoring Network and The Positive Art of Hip Hop. One young girl representing Dreamcatcher Foundation, a foster care program, said, &#8220;This is a tribute to Martin Luther King. He plays a big part in our having the courage to come together as Black and Brown and just have some harmony and peace.&#8221; </p>
<p>Sporting shirts with an artistic, distinctly styled logo, designed by the youth themselves, the young friends marched from 7th and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. to MLK Jr. Park. Ruben Vazquez praised the kids: &#8220;They made this beautiful sign all together, working as one. It&#8217;s nice to see this.&#8221; </p>
<p>Narconon supports youth events such as this all across the United States and the world to support drug-free, ethical, and peaceful communities. Narconon centers across the United States are participating in similar events including in Georgia and Oklahoma. </p>

(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Temperatures are rising at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen as negotiators scuffle to reach a consensus before heads of state arrive later this week. Many African American environmental justice NGO representatives balance support for the global south and their own communities back home as the focus turns to President Obama&#8217;s speech this coming Friday. &#8220;We want to support our President, and certainly look forward to his speech,&#8221; said Felicia M. Davis an environmental activist attending the conference representing Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative (EJCC) and Black Women&#8217;s Roundtable (BWR).</p>
<p>&#8220;The situation demands that America steps forward to lead the way by taking bold steps to reduce emissions and to usher in an era of equity in global agreements. Our sisters and brothers in the global south and global north are counting on us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Representatives from developing nations believe the industrialized world is not doing enough to reduce pollution. They want developed nations to commit to significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions along with the allocation of billions of dollars to poor countries.</p>
<p>&#8220;Developed countries created the climate crisis as they became wealthy and they have the financial resources to tackle it,&#8221; Honorable Awudu Mbaya Cyrpian, executive president, Pan African Parliamentarians Network on Climate Change said. </p>
<p>During a press conference last week the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance, a coalition of organizations in 43 African countries, presented a letter for delivery to the Obama administration. The letter implores President Obama to consider the impacts of a 2 degree temperature rise on Africa, describing this target as a death sentence for millions of Africans. </p>
<p>&#8220;We join with Africa in an appeal for a fair, ambitious, and binding agreement,&#8221; said Davis, who accepted the letter on behalf of EJCC and BWR.</p>
<p>On Monday the negotiations hit a snag after African nations accused rich countries of reneging on promises to cut greenhouse gas emissions and walked out of the negotiations. Delegates from nearly 130 developing countries, including Brazil, India, and South Africa followed the Africans in the walk-out. Talks resumed on Tuesday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Women in rural Africa and India walk miles to get water; they have no cars. They are not polluting the world, yet their crops are failing due to pollution caused by luxury lifestyles in developed nations,&#8221; said Letetia Daniels Jackson president, Tandeka, LLC and member of BWR. </p>
<p>Representatives from EJCC and BWR have been in Copenhagen for over a week working to make sure underserved communities and women of color are properly embedded in any new climate protocol.</p>
<p>Nia Robinson, director of EJCC commented from the nation&#8217;s capitol, &#8220;EJCC had a large presence at the conference to make sure that principles of environmental justice are included in the final document. We want people to see climate change for what it is, a human rights issue,&#8221; Robinson, who traveled to Poland, Montreal and Bali for earlier conferences continues, &#8220;It disproportionately affects people of color.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to attending work sessions, side events, and private meetings with high level officials, the group joined over 100,000 people from around the world in a rally and march in support of a legally binding global agreement on emissions cuts. EJCC youth created and participated in a number of actions garnering international media attention. </p>
<p>On Wednesday Dec. 16, BWR and EJCC will host a roundtable conversation with Black women and women of the Global South from 8-10pm at the Greenlantic House in Copenhagen.</p>
<p>The Black Women&#8217;s Roundtable is an intergenerational civic engagement network of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation. The BWR Healthy, Wealthy &amp; Wise Policy Forum Series is a national roundtable tour designed to provide women with strategies and tools to address critical issues confronting Black women and girls. This past July BWR submitted key policy recommendations on Climate change to Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor and assistant to the President for the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs. </p>
<p>&#8220;We advised the administration that BWR is extremely concerned about the impact of U.S. climate policy upon women globally &#8211; especially impacts in developing regions where women are primary food producers whose livelihoods are threatened by changing climates,&#8221; stated Melanie L. Campbell, executive director of The National Coalition and convener of BWR. </p>
<p>A leader in domestic climate action, EJCC is a national coalition of over thirty environmental and climate justice, advocacy, faith-based and other social justice organizations. The nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots organization is also committed to informing youth of color about the issue of global warming and climate justice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 10 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; My Black Networks, LLC announced today a new portal site &#8212; The MyBlack(TM) Urban Vertical (<a href="http://www.MyBlackNetworks.com" >MyBlackNetworks.com</a>) &#8212; with a core mission to address the fragmented state of data that is culturally relevant to its target markets. My Black Networks (MBN) defines itself as an ecosystem of informational web sites targeting unique segments of the African, African-American and Caribbean communities or the African Diaspora. MBN seeks to fill a service gap while expanding networks and empowering communities.</p>
<p><img src="http://send2press.com/mediaboom/08-1010-MyBlackNets_72dpi.jpg" align="left" hspace="20" alt="MyBlack Networks" />Currently, social media and networks that target blacks tend to focus primarily on casual topics such as entertainment, dating, celebrity news and gossip. And, while MBN recognizes this market is satisfying a consumer demand, they have chosen to respond to other niche markets that are somewhat ignored by mainstream media and are seeking online resources consistent with more serious pursuits such as: business, finance and health. </p>
<p>The first phase of the launch includes unique web sites for 20 cities with large African-American populations. Each site includes the MyBlack(TM) brand and offers relevant national and local news; a black-owned business directory; small business resource center; a wealth-building section; an events section; and special interest areas for lifestyle, health and romance. Each city&#8217;s site is accessible from the portal and is also connected to a shared social networking platform. </p>
<p>Eventually, MBN plans to expand to include over 200 major cities around the globe from within the U.S., Africa, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean, and Europe. </p>
<p>MBN&#8217;s primary objective is to facilitate targeted vertical search by employing vertical branding of relevant content. In the future, they hope to partner with a vertical search engine or to create their own. </p>
<p>When asked what MBN intends to do after reorganizing the Web, Elbert McQuiller, co-founder, shrugs and replies, &#8220;Watch the tail wag the dog.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Long tail&#8221; is a reference to a phrase coined by writer Chris Anderson in his October 2004 article in Wired Magazine. The hotly-debated premise of Anderson&#8217;s article is that the Internet has lowered the cost of distribution to the point that it now makes sense for merchants to address the demand of niche groups for more tailored goods and services. </p>
