Hey Friends! We hope you didn’t miss us too much while we were gone. We certainly missed you! We’ve got good news and some not so good stories for you because WE ARE BACK! So, lets dive in, shall we? In our new format, we’ve decided to tell one huge bummer story first and then follow it up with less of a bummer – this way, we’re not ruining your life too much. How does that sound? Good? GREAT! Maggie is up first with this week’s big bummer and (we think) the truly important story of the murder of Fred Hampton. Hampton was a rising star in the Black Panther Party in Chicago in the late 60s until he crossed J. Edgar Hoover’s radar. You see, Hoover was not a fan of the Black Panthers or Martin Luther King Jr. or the civil rights movement in general and he launched a subversive campaign designed to discredit leaders within the civil rights movement and, ultimately, sow violence throughout their groups. Hoover launched an assault on the Black Panther Party in Chicago and on December 4, 1969, Hampton was murdered by the FBI in cold blood. Dreia would like to tell you all about the Forbidden Experiment. This experiment has been tested out at least four times in recorded history with the same gruesome results, and yet, people keep wanting to try it out. The idea behind the experiment is that at one point, all of humanity spoke the same language, so these “scientists” decided that the universal language could actually be determined by raising babies without human interaction. Clearly, this is incorrect, and the babies died. It is for sure not a good experiment and we do not recommend it. Thanks for listening, friends! We’ve missed you a ton and we’re thrilled to be back!
