Fred Jerome, Dave Zirin,
Fred Jerome is the author of "The Einstein File", an acclaimed book about J. Edgar Hoover's harassment and persecution of Albert Einstein. Phil talks to Jerome about his forthcoming book: "Einstein on Race and Racism". This book explores a dimension of Einstein that has not been mentioned in over one hundred biographies - his outspoken activism against US racism, and friendship with African American leaders like Paul Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois. Einstein, who called racism "America's worst disease", was a member of the "American Crusade to End Lynching" that organized a march on Washington in December 1946.
Phil interviews Dave Zirin, author of the recent column "A Miserable Super Sunday". Zirin talks about the Super Bowl being used "to sell a fiction that US troops are fighting for freedom, when they're fighting for oil and empire". They also discuss African American quarterbacks in the NFL - "progress has been made, but not due to the graces of NFL management ... every owner of an NFL team is a caucasian male, or the widow of one - it's the ultimate old boys network".

Keith Ellis,
Phil opens by reading from Dave Zirin's Counterpunch article on Donovan McNabb: "We should never pass up the opportunity to point out that Rush Limbaugh is not only a racist pig but, unlike the swine, one of our stupider mammals as well. This past weekend, as All-Pro quarterback Donovan F. McNabb led the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl in 25 years, Limbaugh was undoubtedly chasing oxycontin with Kahlua in a state of utter misery." Zirin will be a guest on the Taylor Report February 7. Phil and Phil Conlon also talk about Zirin's important comments about Tom Frank's outrageous attack in The New Republic on critic's of the US attack on Iraq - calling for the use of a "bunker buster" on Arundhati Roy, for example.
Guest Keith Ellis, the translator of a bilingual anthology of poems by the acclaimed Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén, talks about some of the progress being made by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. He discusses the current redistribution of 75 million acres of land to 117,000 Venezuelans, and the ability of the Venezuelan government to direct $4 billion to health care, with the strong support of Cuba. Ellis also talks about the Colombian-sponsored kidnapping of Colombian guerilla leader Rodrigo Granda from Caracas in December.

The Taylor Report is pleased to bring you Rwanda 1994: Colonialism dies hard, the english translation of Robin Philpot's book Ça ne s’est pas passé comme ça à Kigali. We are now also hosting the german version - Ruanda 1994 - die inszenierte Tragödie - translated by Klaus Madersbacher.
Text from the back cover:
Right thinking people would have us blindly believe the Official Story that the Rwandan tragedy was simply the work of horrible Hutu génocidaires who planned and executed a satanic scheme to eliminate nearly a million Tutsis after a plane crashed in the heart of dark Africa on April 6, 1994. On the other hand, former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali declared to the author that the “Rwandan genocide was 100 percent American responsibility. How can such contradictory interpretations coexist?
