The Eugene, Oregon Cascadia Media Collective reports on the Infoshop.org News Kiosk that they received a call from the Secret Service in response to their July 4th edition of their public access TV show, “Cascadia Alive!” According to the CMC the agent who called said that their program was “over the edge,” apparently due to the music video they aired for the song “Bush Killa” by the rapper Paris, originally written in honor of George Sr. The CMC describes the video thusly:
It “was edited for the show to include footage of Baby Bush’s inauguration. Clips of historic Black Panther marches were interspersed with video of the New Black Panther Party march during W’s inauguration. There was other video footage of cops brutalizing people during Civil Rights rallies in the 60’s. What seems to have sparked the ire of the Secret Service was the clip of Hinkley’s assassination attempt on Reagan. Or maybe it was the shot of the poster of W, a dumbfounded look on his face, with a gun pointed at his head which read ‘@ good start’.”
