The Apache Nation GOP Land Grab

Tara Houska, Tribal Rights Attorney/Not Your Mascots, joins Thom. When back in December President Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act - or NDAA - the media here in DC mostly focused on how that act restricted the transfer of Guantanamo detainees and providing funding for Syrian rebels. But out in Arizona - members of the San Carlos Apache Tribe were paying close attention to the NDAA as well. That's because of a small rider attached to it known as the "The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2013" Also known as Section 3003 - this rider was supported by Arizona Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake and gave a foreign company permission to build a copper mine in Oak Flat - a part of Tonto National Forest that the Apache hold sacred. Ever since this deal was signed into law - the San Carlos Apache have fought hard to take back their sacred land. It's been a tough battle - but now they're getting some help from Congress. Last week - Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva introduced a bill that would repeal Section 3003 of the NDAA - and give Oak Flat back to the San Carlos Apache.

Rumble - The Confederate flag is a symbol of hatred & violence & terrorism

Peter Roff, U.S. News & World Report & Medea Benjamin, Global Exchange / CodePink / Drone Warfare: Killing By Remote Control & Kevin Martin, Project 21 join Thom. Despite what you might hear from all the Southern apologists out there - and there are a lot of them - the Civil War wasn’t about state’s rights or southern honor. It was about slavery. It was about owning people. The Southern states didn’t secede because the North was getting too aggressive - they seceded because they wanted to protect a social system that was based on the enslavement of living - breathing - and thinking human beings.
