After years of carrying out racist stunts, the individual known as “chud the builder” finally took his performative extremism too far. He has been arrested for attempted murder, a grave escalation from his previous activities. However, investigators emphasize that this is far from his first crime, as his history is marked by a pattern of targeted harassment and radicalized behavior.

CORRUPT POLICE FILES (10/10/24)

The majority of police in the world are good men and women who serve their communities with honor and dignity. Unfortunately, there are bad police officers who abuse the law and hurt their communities. Multiple factors contribute to the differences among law enforcement officers, and it is crucial to address those factors to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals within society.

These are their stories.

In this installment…

Alastair Morgan, whose brother was brutally murdered in 1987, and Neil Woods, a former undercover police officer who now dedicates his life to investigating police corruption, spoke to Insider about the insidious ways in which police corruption actually operates within the force. In the detailed interview, Neil elaborated on his firsthand experiences, breaking down the various types of corruption he witnessed, and even engaged in, while working undercover for a grueling 14-year stint in the UK.

During his time within the police system, Neil arrived at a distressing conclusion: that most “corruption within the police is driven by the substantial income generated from the illicit drugs market,” which has pervasive effects on law enforcement integrity. Alastair Morgan recounted the harrowing circumstances of his brother, Daniel Morgan, who was murdered with a vicious axe in a pub car park in South London in 1987, a shocking act that has left lasting scars on the family and community. He told Insider, “Within three weeks of the murder, I was convinced, because of the events that took place, there had been police involvement in Daniel’s murder. Which was a terrifying prospect,” reflecting on the weight of his discovery.

At the time of the murder, Daniel was managing a detective agency alongside his business partner, Jonathan Rees, further complicating the narrative. Alastair firmly believes that both Jonathan Rees and corrupt police officers collaborated in the conspiracy that led to his brother’s tragic death. Since Daniel Morgan’s murder, there have been five separate police investigations, yet each one seems to have missed the mark. Jonathan Rees and Detective Sergeant Sid Fillery have faced multiple arrests over the years, but shockingly, each time, the charges have been dropped without explanation.

In a turn of events in 2014, both Jonathan Rees and Sid Fillery received substantial six-figure damages from the Metropolitan Police after they successfully brought a malicious prosecution claim against the department, a situation that raises many eyebrows. The pain and frustration of the Morgan family’s battle for justice continued when, in 2021, an independent inquiry concluded that the Met Police was “institutionally corrupt” in its mishandling of the investigation into Daniel Morgan’s murder, a damning assessment that echoed the family’s long-held suspicions. Alastair is currently in the arduous process of suing the Metropolitan Police, underlining the relentless pursuit of truth and justice for his brother, as the murder case remains unsolved. This episode delves deeply into the alarming realities of Police Corruption within the UK, shedding light on a critical issue that demands ongoing attention and reform.

This website was created to be a resource of information on the art of Capoeira Angola. Here, you’ll find information about Capoeira Angola in all its aspects, including articles, music and songs, basic movements, etc. Now mind you, this website is NOT supposed to be an end-all be-all for information about Capoeira Angola. What I post here is MY OWN OPINION. And let me tell you, the more I learn about this art, the more I realize that I have a lot more to learn. This web site is an ongoing project, which means as time goes by, this site will change, just as Capoeira changes with time. Things will be added, and things will be discarded. However, this website, first, last, and middle, will always be about the tradition of Capoeira Angola.

This website serves as a dedicated platform where I share articles, personal reflections, and diverse content exploring the multifaceted experiences of Black men, both here in the United States and in Brazil.For those who genuinely question the fundamental premise behind the "Black Lives Matter" movement, I urge you to click HERE and HERE, and immerse yourself in the lived realities and historical injustices that necessitate such a declaration. This is not merely a slogan; it is a plea for recognition, equality, and an end to systemic discrimination that continues to affect Black communities worldwide.

SO, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE BLACK IN BRAZIL? The experiences of Black individuals in Brazil are shaped by a long and complex history of slavery and systemic racism, which has deeply influenced societal structures and cultural dynamics. This historical backdrop contributes to a rich and diverse culture that celebrates African heritage and traditions, seen in music, dance, and gastronomy. However, despite these cultural contributions, Black Brazilians continue to face significant challenges, including enduring social inequality, limited access to education, and underrepresentation in political and economic spheres. The struggle for recognition, justice, and equality remains a critical issue, as communities strive to overcome barriers and advocate for their rights in a society still grappling with the legacy of its past.

WHAT IS A MALANDRO? A malandro is a person who lives outside societal rules, embodying a rogue or trickster archetype that can be seen as either a negative criminal or a clever, resourceful anti-hero, depending on the cultural context and interpretation. This unique figure often operates in the shadows of society, navigating through life with a sense of charm and wit that allows them to evade traditional restrictions. While the term generally carries negative connotations of a crook or petty criminal in Spanish-speaking South America, where it symbolizes deceit and trickery, in Brazilian culture, the malandro has evolved into a complex figure representing cunning, fluidity, and unconventional problem-solving. In fact, this archetype can sometimes be viewed as a folk hero, celebrated for their ability to outsmart the system and adapt to challenging situations. The malandro's adventures often reflect resilience and creativity in the face of adversity, inviting both admiration and criticism, and sparking debates about morality and survival.

THE BLACK HOLOCAUST!!! This term represents the historical and ongoing atrocities against Black people globally, particularly highlighting the transatlantic slave trade and its enduring impacts, also known as the "Maafa," the "African Holocaust," and the "Holocaust of Enslavement." The legacy of these horrific events continues to resonate today, as descendants of those directly affected grapple with the psychological, cultural, and economic ramifications of centuries of oppression. It serves as a profound reminder of the resilience and strength of Black communities, who have fought tirelessly for justice, equality, and recognition of their history. Acknowledging this dark chapter is crucial for understanding contemporary issues of racial inequality and injustice, as these foundational traumas still shape the societal landscape and the lived experiences of Black individuals. Efforts to educate and raise awareness about the Black Holocaust not only honor the memory of those who suffered but also empower current and future generations to confront and dismantle the systems of oppression that persist in various forms around the world.

SELF-PROTECTION WITH BLACK POWER! Is our history merely about slavery and civil rights? African and African-Diasporic Martial Arts are distinguished by their focus on culture, identity, and method, celebrating the beauty and heritage of our people through a rich tapestry of movement, rhythm, and philosophy. These martial practices, steeped in tradition, not only serve as a means of self-defense but also as a profound expression of cultural identity and historical continuity. While acknowledging the harsh realities of racism and oppression that have shaped our legacy, these martial arts emphasize the resilience and indomitable spirit of our ancestors, empowering individuals to reconnect with their roots, embrace their heritage, and redefine their identity in today’s world.
