Michael Symonette - Blacks for Trump
August 17
from 2018
Michael Symonette (also known as Maurice Woodside) was the guy holding the 'Blacks For Trump' sign seen behind Trump on many of his campaign appearances on the 2016 trail. In this interview he talks about his beliefs, his trust in Donald Trump and why more black people should support Trump or the Republican party.
It's an interesting dissection of the Trump phenomenon from the inside, arguably from one of the most disenfranchised demographics of the United States.
Woodside first met Hulon Mitchell Jr., better known as Yahweh ben Yahweh, in 1980. Along with his brother, Ricardo, who joined the cult before he did, Woodside was reported to have played "a big role in the rise and fall of the Nation of Yahweh" (part of the Black Hebrew Israelites movement). His mother, Johnnie Simmons, was also a devout member of the cult. He later left the cult with his sister after his mother died.
He was one of 16 members of the Nation of Yahweh who was arrested and charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder in 1990. He was found not guilty of these charges by a Florida jury in 1992, but Yahweh was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison. At the trial, Ricardo testified that he and Maurice attempted unsuccessfully to murder Eric Burke, a dissident member of Yahweh's cult, and that Maurice had helped to beat another cult member, Aston Green, unconscious.

om Kizzia - Pilgrim's Wilderness: A True Story of Faith and Madness on the Alaska Frontier
om Kizzia joins Ed Opperman to talk about his wild tale of life in the Alaskan wilderness; it's a truly riveting tale of a family overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
Into the Wild meets Helter Skelter in this riveting true story of a modern-day homesteading family in the deepest reaches of the Alaskan wilderness – and of the chilling secrets of its maniacal, spellbinding patriarch.
When Papa Pilgrim appeared in the Alaska frontier outpost of McCarthy with his wife and fifteen children in tow, his new neighbors had little idea of the trouble to come. The Pilgrim Family presented themselves as a shining example of the homespun Christian ideal, with their proud piety and beautiful old-timey music, but their true story ran dark and deep. Within weeks, Papa had bulldozed a road through the mountains to the new family home at an abandoned copper mine, sparking a tense confrontation with the National Park Service and forcing his ghost town neighbors to take sides in an ever-more volatile battle over where a citizen’s rights end and the government’s power begins.
In Pilgrim’s Wilderness, veteran Alaska journalist Tom Kizzia unfolds the remarkable, at times harrowing, story of a charismatic spinner of American myths who was not what he seemed, the townspeople caught in his thrall, and the family he brought to the brink of ruin. As Kizzia discovered, Papa Pilgrim was in fact the son of a rich Texas family with ties to Hoover’s FBI and strange, oblique connections to the Kennedy assassination and the movie stars of Easy Rider. And as his fight with the government in Alaska grew more intense, the turmoil in his brood made it increasingly difficult to tell whether his children were messianic followers or hostages in desperate need of rescue. In this powerful piece of Americana, written with uncommon grace and high drama, Kizzia uses his unparalleled access to capture an era-defining clash between environmentalists and pioneers ignited by a mesmerizing sociopath who held a town and a family captive.

Greg Bucceroni grew up as a tough kid in Philadelphia. The same kid never would have seen his future - to be abused by Penn State's Jerry Sandusky, and involved with a child abuse ring covering three states. A compelling story with details you'll only here on the Opperman Report.
Timeline of abuse of Jerry Sandusky
Here is a timeline of events in the case against Sandusky, who was found guilty of sexually molesting 10 boys over a 15-year period. Many of the details of abuse come from a grand jury report.
1969: Pennsylvania State University hires Sandusky as an assistant football coach under head coach Joe Paterno.
1977: Sandusky founds The Second Mile, a charity dedicated to helping troubled children. It is through this charity that Sandusky finds his victims.
1994: A boy identified as Victim 7, who is now 26, meets Sandusky through The Second Mile. He later tells a grand jury that he had a “blurry memory” of having improper contact with Sandusky when they were showering together in the football locker room on the Penn State campus.
1996 or 1997: A boy identified as Victim 4, now 27, begins a relationship with Sandusky that results in repeated sexual violations, according to the grand jury report.
1998: Sandusky showers with a boy identified as Victim 5, now 22, pinning him in a corner, rubbing him and placing the boy’s hand on his genitals, according to the grand jury report.
1998: Sandusky asks a boy identified as Victim 6, now 24, to shower with him when he is 11, and Sandusky lathers soap on his back and bear-hugs him, according to the grand jury report. The boy tells his mother, who reports it to the university.
1998: University police investigate allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior involving Sandusky. No criminal charges are pursued.
June 1, 1998: University police interview Sandusky, who admits showering with Victim 6. A detective tells Sandusky never to shower with children again, says the grand jury report.

Fall 2000: A janitor sees Sandusky in the showers performing oral sex on a young boy identified as Victim 8. The janitor tells co-workers and his supervisor, but the incident is not reported to authorities at the time.
February 2001: A graduate assistant, later identified as Mike McQueary, reports seeing Sandusky rape a boy of about 10 years old in the shower of the campus football locker room.
2004 to 2008: A boy identified as Victim 9 was forced to perform oral sex on Sandusky repeatedly in the basement bedroom of Sandusky’s home, and Sandusky attempted to rape him at least 16 times, according to the grand jury report.
Fall 2007: A boy identified as Victim 10 said Sandusky pulled down his gym shorts and performed oral sex on him in the basement bedroom of Sandusky’s home. Sandusky also has the boy perform oral sex on him.

2009: Sandusky is barred from a school district attended by Victim 1 after the boy’s mother reports allegations of sexual assault to the school, according to the grand jury. The matter is reported to authorities, triggering an investigation by Pennsylvania State Police and the Attorney General’s Office.
September 2010: Sandusky retires from The Second Mile.
November 5, 2011: A Centre County grand jury charges Sandusky with 40 counts of molesting eight boys from 1994 to 2009. Sandusky is arrested and released on a $100,000 bond.
November 6, 2011: Paterno issues a statement in which he acknowledges being told by McQueary in 2002 of the incident in the shower but that “he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the grand jury report.”
November 9, 2011: Paterno announces he will retire at the end of the football season. The university board of trustees fires Paterno and university President Graham Spanier.
