Code Name "Zorro" by Mark Lane & Dick Gregory - Review



Code Name "Zorro" is a book by Mark Lane & Dick Gregory recently found in a 2nd hand bookshop. It is mixture of scholoraly and methodical look at the Assassinaion of Martin Luther King Jr. by Mark Lane; and a sensitive and personal discussion of the life and career of the Nobel Prize winning Minister by Dick Gregory.


1968 King Assassination Report Walter Cronkite (CBS News)

The Code Name "Zorro" was first published in 1977 in preperasion of a Congressional Hearing to investigate the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy. It raises several fascinating questions some are:

* Why was Dr.Kings Police protection removed on the day of the assassination? - and by who?

* Why was the same FBI squad which originally assigned to "destroy" King (whom the code-named "Zorro") also directed to investigate his murder?

* What did the ballistics test reveal - or fail to reveal about the alleged murder weapon?

In what strange way has the most reliable witness been prevented forever, from testifying in court?

* To what documented lengths did certain FBI men go to threaten King and suggest that he commit suicide rather than accept the Nobel Peace Prize?

* What of the mysterious "Raoul" who Ray claims masterminded and financed his movements before the murder?


Some of the answers feature in the Book and are discussed in the film lecture below.


Mark Lane with President J.F.K

Mark Lane is a U.S attorney, anti-war/Civil Rights activist opposed segregation as a Freedom Rider, and has founded many investigative organizations representing Native Americans, Vietnam Vetertans and questioning the official findings of the Warren Commission (J.F.K. Assassination investigation) amonst many others. His #1 selling book "Rush To Judgement" was one of the first books to question the findings of the Warren Commission.

Is This The Future??? Terminator Salvation


Building the Perfect Terminator

Obviously the new Terminator movie, is just that - a movie, but it is interesting that some of the technology in the public domain, suggests that Android Armies might not be so far off in the future. As many people are aware of the fact that, top secret Military Research and Development budgets often far out way civilian projects. "New" technologies in the civilian/public domain are often spin off's of projects previously Developed with a Military objective. Many of these videos, (some declassified "promotional") although not new, are an interesting to look at the possible direction, and battlefields of "Future Warfare."

"You Got The Juice Now..." Juice The Movie - Cameo Role Focus


"Juice" The Movie - The Background Actors Focus


Juice Movie Poster

Juice was a movie about 4 teenage friends living in New York at the beginning of the 90's. It reflects the change over from the Golden era, to the Chorus based music, styles and fashions. As one of the main characters is an upcoming Scratch DJ, it is very DJ based, and has one of the better soundtracks of the so-called "Hip Hop Movie" genres, this is down to Public Enemy's Hank Shocklee and The Bomb Squad coordinating the soundtrack & composing original music.

Over the last few years a lot of actors and movie pundits complain about Rappin' actors! But back then you couldn't even see rappers in videos, let alone movies!!! No Hip Hop Movie since Crush Groove (no I never saw that either), or Tougher Than Leather... No seriously, had a bigger effect on the Hip-Hop movement. If you talk to alot of Turntablists they will class this film as a BIG influence.

Most people just talk about the fact that it was Tupac's first real acting role, but its full of classic Hip-Hop cameos, and we at The Kool Skool thought we would put our Geek hats on and have a go at putting names to the faces. So heeeere we go...

"Dirty Laundry" Art Show


The Kool Skool's Shucks One will be displaying a new painting at an exiting mix of contemporary artists at the Dalston Super Store in East London. The show is called Dirty Laundry and the artists have been asked to intemperate the phrase into new works.

Shuck's piece is based on the Mohammed El Gharani and Omar Khadr, the two have been held without formal charges in Quantanamo Bay since 2001, and arrived as teenagers.

Mohammed El Gharani Guantanemo's youngest inmate

Mohammed was just 14 years old and Omar 15 when they arrived at Camp X-Ray, and are still being detained despite a US Federal Judge ordering the immediate release of Mohammed, and Judges in Canada are ordering that the government pressure the US government for his repatriation. The piece "Summer Camp X-Ray" is hoped by the artist to raise awareness about the two men's status and situation, and inspire debate.
More info can be found at:

The event starts on Thursday the 4th and runs for weeks at:
Dalston Super Store
117 Kingsland High Street
London
E8 2PB


While creating the piece Shucks was mostly listening to:

DJ Soulstar's Podcast

Phil Most Chill's new B-Boy Breaks tape

Tony Touch Breaks mix found on the hiphop battlefield blog

DJ Klose One's Spring mix on the Ain't That Great blog
