Jones:<\/strong> Attention. News (unintelligible word) early day. We\u2019re sorry that weather modification of US CIA has affected the entire world. Obviously. It\u2019s affected us also. Rains are heavier than this\u2013 this year than noted them for years. Usually the dry season is over\u2013 uh, has begun last month. But we\u2019re fortunate, it\u2019s doing no damage to us in any sense that\u2019s irreparable. No damage at all.<\/p>\n

We hear from the news circles that [British] Foreign Minister David Owen has managed to get the United States [State] Department and Britain into a conciliatory mood by pressing upon them what\u2019s going to happen to their financial interest if they continue to support Ian Smith\u2019s re\u2013 uh, regime, as both governments are now doing openly. So they have pressed Ian Smith for an all-party conference, with specific concern with the people that represent the people, the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front. Smith has been rather (unintelligible word), but he says reluctantly that [if] there\u2019ll be no more resistance on the part of Zimbabwean Patriotic Front, he will participate in an all-party conference. So that\u2019s more of his propaganda, Ian Smith of Rhodesia. So the Zimbabwean Patri\u2013 Patriotic Front demands that he<\/em> stop his<\/em> violence against the people. Then they will<\/em> talk with him, gladly. British Foreign Secretary will take part in the talks, if he\u2019s invited. It\u2019s not been clear where he stands with the Organization of African Unity. He has<\/em> been one of the more concerned voices, may it be for practical reasons, about US policies and British policies in Africa. He said that were\u2013 they were stupid, for supporting Union of South Africa and Rhodesia, because you going to alienate all of Africa, as the Organization of African Unity, the leaders of Africa have shown in their past meetings in Khartoum, Sudan and present discussions, that they will not tolerate\u2013 will not tolerate uh, uh, foreign domination. Capitalist days of dominating the affairs of even governments that\u2019ve not gone socialist are over.<\/p>\n

Chinese leaders continues to talk in Bucharest, travel to a shipbuilding concern today. It\u2019s kind of holiday for couple of days\u2013 (briefly turns from mic) Uh, anyway, we will see what comes out of that. The Soviets have raised no protest against what seems to be building up economic ties, the Bucharest\u2013 the Bucharest government, that\u2019s Rumania, an ally of Warsaw Pact, a very beautiful country, one of the resort pleasures areas of the world, where people can have vacations so modestly that they often find that they are hosting capitalist guests.<\/p>\n

Meetings of the PO\u2013 LO, Palestinian Liberation Front leaders, they are going to reach any differences. That\u2019s what Zionism has obtained and achieved out of their so\u2013 inhumane bombing, which was over 100 children \u2013 I noticed our news on the board did not update it \u2013 over 100 children were killed in Beirut in that block\u2013 block area of buildings that they blew out of existence, the Zionists did, a special secret police unit of his, and now over 100 wives of them and grandparents have died also. Palestinian leaders\u2013 leaders, not one were injured. They were left alive with their pain and their bitterness against Zionism and expansionism. Therefore, they are calling for PLO, right and left \u2013 that means the right wing and the left wing \u2013 and it looks like the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the PLF, of course, the Pales\u2013 Palestinian\u2013 Palestinian Liberation Front, is left itself. I\u2019m speaking now of all<\/em> Palestinian liberation organizations. Right or left, conservative, moderate, socialist or communist, are having a joint summit meeting. So that\u2019s what Zionism got out of their senseless brutality, that USA has supplied them their equipment to do, our tax dollars, in Beirut, Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Cairo. Egypt\u2019s foreign minister [Muhammad Ibrahim Kamel] says that Egypt will not<\/em> accept a partial settlement, as seems to be the substance of what the rightwing Prime Minister [Menachem] Begin says of Israel. The monda\u2013 the meeting is to begin next Monday with [Pres. Jimmy] Carter and will force some sort of solution, thinks the Voice of America. Carter has stressed he\u2019s not optimistic, and most of what we get is gobbledygook that the meetings at least will be helpful, a typical pat phrase of the capitalist. Meetings are helpful. So the public won\u2019t really know one way or another what\u2019s ha\u2013 happening to them until the government gets ready to give them their processed, doctored-up version.<\/p>\n

Iran, as the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Shah of Iran taking power in a bloody coup, in which the beloved president of Iran [Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh] was murdered by the CIA. US had direct participation. However, every city had to put under m\u2013 martial, military law, because the people are raising so much hell about the Shah of Iran. Many, many threats are appearing on his life, he\u2019s surrounded almost by an army wherever he goes, as there is reb\u2013 revolution in the blood of the people of Iran. This is happening, you see, because Iraq, even though it had had some differences with the Soviets, is in the Soviet alliance, Syria is, now Afghanistan, saved\u2013 they had an attempted coup by US CIA this week, it\u2019s a very pro-Soviet, in fact it\u2019s becoming Marxist-Leninist in its uh, governmental character. It\u2019s not just a uh, ally of the Soviets, but it is following the doctrinal lines, the ideological concepts of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

Britain. Many bombs have gone off, different police stations, different social clubs of the bigoted British clubs that refuse membership to blacks and Irish. (unintelligible phrase) They are activities of the Irish Republican Army. The Communist Party of Ireland, as you know, is a very, very strong pro-Soviet uh, orientation, as well as Irish government indeed. Seeing them, the Soviet Union as being the best friend they\u2019ve had in their centuries-long cry for independence.<\/p>\n

Kinshasa. Neto\u2013 Agostinho Neto is meeting in close talks with Mobutu [Sese Seko], strong arm leader of Zaire, that entair\u2013 indeed foiled US attempts to completely dominate Zaire. He\u2019s the one that woke up to the fact, as you know, that many of the things he was selling , the resources, were being\u2013 he\u2019s being cheated on by the US imperialist, the multinational, the new\u2013 neo-colonialist.<\/p>\n

Musaka, 3500 foreigners are to be expelled from Zambia. Zambia\u2019s removing all foreigners, alleging that they are in cahoots with foreign interests, and the CIA was named specifically. Also they say they\u2019ve been contributing to the corruption and crime that is rising in Zambia. So all foreigners are to be expelled from Zambia, forthwith. And that is, European foreigners. They\u2019ve had it in Zambia. Zambia\u2019s been under the pressure of International
\nMonetary Fund, as well as Tanzania. There where you have to say China is shining, in terms of Third World liberation. She has continually, resolutely, backed Zambia with financial aid, Tanzania also with financial aid, and Mozambique, that has been bravely standing up in the last few weeks to attacks with US-paid planes and operators and equipment from both Rhodesia over Mozambique, as well as Mozambique has resisted the African false government, the white-dominated government, the racist concentration government\u2013 uh, concentration camp<\/em> government of Ian Smith and uh, the Union of South Africa, where apartheid\u2019s been known for so long under [Johannes] Vorster. The Union of South Africa was attacking Mozambique from one side, Rhodesia from another, but they have bravely withstood the aggression of Rhodesia and Union of South Africa, backed by USA. And it\u2019s to the credit of China \u2013 it should be put on the blackboard \u2013 that China has given them very concrete support. Zambia, Mozambique and Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Federal Reserve Board. Japan urges it to raise its interest rates to slow down infla\u2013 inflation and strengthen the dollar before it is late. Too<\/em> late, rather. Exact words, quote. Voice of America. Japan urges it to raise its interest rates, USA-dominated Federal Reserve Board, to urge it to raise its interest rates to slow inflation and strengthen the dollar before it is too late. Too late for capitalism, means a total depression. Some of you children have no idea, you never came up under US conditions when depressions come along, when you don\u2019t have anything to eat at all. Some us went through it.<\/p>\n

Carter is in Plain, Georder\u2013 Georgia, going to his little bigoted church Sunday School where blacks never did get to attend, due to manipulations of the board, though Carter put pressure to make them appear as integrationist by saying that blacks could join, but the First Baptist Church of Plains did it on a basis that each one could be personally reviewed as to their commitment to Christ and their understand of Baptist theology, thus giving them a perfect excuse to \u2013 and they have done so \u2013 restrict any blacks from belonging. You remember how long ago that<\/em>dispute was, nearly two years ago. Well, there\u2019re still no blacks in First Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, even though a racist element broke away from even that little statement. The most of the\u2013 the First Baptist Church have formed a new<\/em> Baptist church in Plains, and have dis\u2013 declared that they should\u2019ve uh, kept in their laws, church laws, that blacks would never be admitted. They were that racist in their view. Carter\u2019s going on from Plains to a camping trip. Most people would like to live like we do. He wants to go to a rugged part of US terrain in Idaho with his family on\u2013 where they\u2019ll have to be on rubber boats going through rapids and falls, and uh, hiking up in mountains and throughout the uh\u2013 on uh, the\u2013 relatively at least, untouched areas of Wyoming and Idaho. Everybody likes a life like we have. That\u2019s probably why we\u2019re getting ding-donged and dingbatted so much by the press and others, though they are being manipulated by the conspiracy, and our ex-members know what they<\/em> have done. They\u2019re so much like Pablo, they\u2019re lonely, and rather than admit that they\u2019re lonely and have missed the thing that gives life its spark, our movement, our socialist community, they\u2019re trying to tear it down viciously so nobody else will have it. That\u2019s typical of people. If they can\u2019t have something, they\u2019ll destroy it. Well, the news people are also probably down deep in their heart, most envious of this camping life, outdoor living that we have every day, and don\u2019t take enough gratitude for it. That should be put on the blackboard.<\/p>\n

Palestinian groups call for unity among all Palestinians everywhere. News just coming over the air, and it looks very much like they\u2019re going to succeed in getting it done. Very much like they\u2019re going to succeed in getting it done. There have not been any turn-down\u2013 none of them have turned down the request yet. Palestinian leaders who were so far right and so far left that they would not even spit on each other to put a fire out, but the senseless murder and tragedy that Zionism did under Begin to all their people, their loved ones in Beirut, murdering them in a mob, a terrible mobocracy of bombing, of devious barbarity, of blowing up innocent women and children and grandparents.<\/p>\n

Ethnic Chinese want to return from China to Vietnam. Vietnam has rejected the Chinese, who now find that they\u2019d preferred living in Vietnam than the People\u2019s Republic of China, because there\u2019s a little bit more in the transitional stages of Vietnam\u2019s socialism, a little more allowances for those who want to uh, be in business enterprises and so forth. The law of the day in China is communal living. Everybody lived in cooperatives, such as ours, and that, they\u2019ve been praised for by even the Soviet Union. Vietnam is very suspicious that these ethnic Chinese could be used as infiltrators, and Vietnam and China have struggled for so many hundreds of years that I couldn\u2019t remember how many, it goes back in the history so long, to almost the beginnings of it. China and Vietnam have had ancient feuds, and socialism won\u2019t override that tomorrow. Unfortunately. And obviously there\u2019s some suspicion of the Chinese, though BBC determines that they are quite honestly wanting to get out of China and back into Vietnam, the Vietnamese are nationalistic \u2013 which is the dangerous phenomenon of a nuclear age, but an understandable one \u2013 they refuse to accept any of them back. And they had a point that they should\u2019ve stayed in the first place. That\u2019s what Vietnam said. If you liked it, why didn\u2019t you stay in the first place rather than creating all these difficulties, international concern, and have brought China and Vietnam right to the sword point. They\u2019ve fired on each other. Why then didn\u2019t you stay there in the first place, was the\u2013 the speech of the prime minister [Pham Van Dong], the beautiful successor of Ho Chi Minh, I mean, Ho Chi Manh, Ho Chi Minh, the great, great man. One of the most sensitive revolutionaries of all time. He was educated in the USA, and hoped for better out of USA because of their constitution, and he thought that he\u2013 he remembered the days of the thirties when there was a strong socialist movement, the labor unions were more independent and militant, and he remembered how sad it was when he had the rude awakening that Vietnam was going to be bombed back into the Stone Ages, as President [Richard] Nixon promised, or as his chief commander in Vietnam, [William] Westmoreland, General Westmoreland [Editor\u2019s note: The quote is by former Air Force General Curtis LeMay]<\/em>, who is now chief of all<\/em> the military staff, so there, you can see what happens with these maniacs. He\u2019s been elevated from Vietnam in the South Pacific to all<\/em>supervision. He\u2019s the chief of staff, Westmoreland is. Westmoreland says we have to destroy Vietnam in order to save her. (briefly turns from mic) So, that\u2013 that mentality\u2013 If you don\u2019t understand that, uh, that\u2019s insane, what Westmoreland said, we have to destroy Vietnam in order to save her from Communism. And Nixon\u2019s idio\u2013 idiotic statement that he would use the bomb if Vietnam was not surrendered to the capitalist, or he would bomb them back into the Stone Ages. That\u2019s what Nixon said.<\/p>\n

Britain and US welcome Smith offer. US has uh, finally come to the conclusion that Smith is willing to talk, but of the US and Britain, there\u2019s no one to make that conclusion, in that they are violating human dignity all over the world, one of the few nations that will not pretend\u2013 (stumbles over words) \u2013 the USA is<\/em> the only nation besides Israel who\u2019s not attending the present World Conference Against Racism, being sponsored by the United Nations in Geneva, which 121 countries are participating, and all of them are raising a lot of sand about US\u2019 racism, US is really getting a scathing by that world body. They\u2019ve documented all kinds of racist examples, of political prisoners and uh\u2013 (Pause) that type of thing. (Pause) They\u2013 (stumbles over words) You think we\u2019ve been talked about, you ought to see how the uh, (Pause) USA is faring in front of that world body. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Continue with the news. It\u2019s important to get all the news you can get, you know, so please don\u2019t forget that.<\/p>\n

The USA is holding a press conference about human rights. President Carter\u2019s going to be speaking out, and all the congressmen are addressing the question of human rights. Where? In the Soviet Union again, to get the eyes of the world\u2013 try<\/em> to get the eyes off the world\u2013 off the USA. They\u2019ve not been successful up to this point. I\u2019d think they\u2019d shut up on the question of human rights, because the World Commission\u2013 the World Commission on Racism, meeting in Geneva, has praised the Soviet Union for the fact that it has overridden all<\/em> racist barriers, and over 100 nationalities are living in peace, as Muhammad Ali had to say. Even though he\u2019d been brainwashed as a Muslim, to believe that the home of Mecca, the holy\u2013 holy city in the Arab lands, was the best place in the world, the most fair, the most beautiful, the most radiant gem of God\u2019s paradise on Earth. He said the most beautiful, his wife, Muhammad Ali and his wife [Veronica Porch\u00e9 Ali], have been still saying\u2013 one of the few that hold out, as the Soviet Union says\u2013 Usually people bow to pressure when they get back in USA, but I guess something can be said for ol\u2019 Muhammad Ali, in spite of the news saying he\u2019s being indicted on something about in\u2013 tax k\u2013 that the rumble, that he\u2019s being indicted on something about income tax evasion. Invasion. Evasion, rather, excuse me. Much tiredness, long nights without sleep and so forth. Nonetheless, the USA has the nerve to call a special press conference today and think anybody in the world\u2019s going to be paying any attention.<\/p>\n

Since the rainy season \u2013 No, no, uh, we\u2019ll move on.<\/p>\n

Guyana Broadcasting Studio news. V\u2013 Vincent Teekah, who\u2019s been here and praised our own community, says it\u2019s an absolute for teachers to be oriented in socialist principles. Marxist principles. So there\u2019re being seminary\u2013 seminars being conducted, presently and will continue from henceforth to evermore, from time to time throughout the year, indoctrinating teachers in the principles of Marxism. New look to educational program as a result of this, \u2018cause they\u2019ll be educated along socialist lines. The old emphasis of the Commonwealth, the white man, will be abolished. This is not entirely eval\u2013 evaluated or analyzed by the Guyana Broadcasting Network. We heard talk of that when the beautiful lady, Mrs. Rogers, was here, who\u2019s on the board of the uh, educational branch of the PNC, Peoples National Congress, our ruling party in Guyana. Anyway, the teachers will teaching different subjects now, not those that\u2019ve been called important under their former mas\u2013 slave masters, but that which is helpful to the Guyanese situation. I would imagine that our practical approach, from what Mrs. [Mary] Rodgers, said is much of what they\u2019re talking about. People will learn how to do things. They\u2019ve already built one school where the children are living in, much like the model I told you of in Cuba, and they\u2019re taking care of all their own food needs, gardening it themselves, and maintaining themselves, in this school over in the uh, east part of Guyana. (Pause)<\/p>\n

We\u2019re on the western edge of Guyana, right next to the Venezuelan border, so you can know where we\u2019re at. The different ones keep asking, are people who come in about going across Venezuela. If anyone is foolish enough really to want to go, we\u2019re more than happy to tell you, because if you went through that border, I can assure you, you wouldn\u2019t ever end up back in the United States. Lots of nice people waiting for you there. There\u2019s all kinds of muggers over in Vietnam [Venezuela], and they feel even stronger right in that area, they feel stronger against US citizens than uh, you\u2019d find any such feeling here. Indian population has been exploited by others, and so, the Indian tribes over there in Venezuela, some of them are quite uh, interesting. They don\u2019t uh, make any false uh, image about how they feel about the imperialist and the former colonial master. As well, Guyana has very safe and secure ma\u2013 uh, patrol of their border, they patrol their borders very well. But remember the one that tried to go through, a path by a\u2013 an Indian guide and ended up losing his arm, rather than bother to take the ring and wa\u2013 wristwatch off, they just cut his arm off, and he bled to death, trying to get out of socialism in Guyana, to get to Venezuela. And you can\u2019t get to Venezuela\u2013 when you cross the border, you\u2019re still a thousand miles from the only place you can get to a modern city. It\u2019s all really beautiful, untouched for the most part, wilderness. That\u2019s why it\u2019s safe for us, the Venezuelan army couldn\u2019t even get it up and down their border, there\u2019s thousands of jungle between them\u2013 and thousand miles of jungle almost before the first modern city. And (short laugh) they don\u2019t have as many landing strips in that area as we have here.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there will be a series of uh, workshops for all teachers, and they will be in practical lines. They\u2019ll teach students how to do things. Bishop High School, the beginning of the program, will be teaching teachers socialist ideology. That\u2019s where we\u2019re having a exhibit, I believe, in Bishop High School, where we were asked out of all the school communities to put on the biggest exhibition. The Prime Minister, our Prime Minister Forbes Burnham, leader of the Peoples National Congress, will be opening this session.<\/p>\n

The present code of conduct no longer relevant in schools. We\u2019re not interested in certain things, of morality from a Christian perspective, said the Guyana Broadcasting Network, we will not carry over the false moral concerns, that means the attitudes against people who were\u2013<\/p>\n

Stand by just a moment. (speaks off mic)<\/p>\n

The present code of conduct in Guyanese schools, as I said before \u2013 I had to take care of something \u2013 is indeed inadequate, portrays white people in glamorous roles, still, some of the books, so the books will be banned in the next\u2013 within two years. The socialist government, led by the vanguard here, the Peoples National Congress, our party in Guyana \u2013 I keep saying that so you\u2019ll remember who your party is, though you don\u2019t talk when guests come about politics at all, we want to know where we stand. And the Peoples Gro\u2013 Progressive Party is the opposition. Our major difference with it, it\u2019s a socialist party also, Marxist-Leninist, pro-Moscow, but the major dis\u2013 difference I have is that it was Prime Minister Burnham and the PNC that nationalized or socialized all the income-producing industries, like bauxite, sugar, all their\u2013 their al\u2013 their liquor production, and uh, you name it, those great rich families that held this country, Bookers, Bookers sugar state, it was Dr. Burnham, our prime minister, that nationalized ninety percent of the property. Otherwise they would be pressured like Zambia is\u2013 although Zambia certainly spoke up bravely by demanding that all foreigners be expelled, 3500, and uh, so has Tanzania and Mozambique and Jamaica, all socialist countries been pushed rather heavily because of getting IMF loans. Guyana has gotten nothing to speak of from IMF, which is to her credit. They don\u2019t trust her. Someone was speaking to me last evening about Guyana\u2013 one time that the prime minister accepting uh, CIA help. I would uh, remind you that the CIA help is probably why they hate Guyana so much. Because he took money and then used it to build socialism here. And it\u2019s been a pretty open fact. (Pause) We need to uh, get things in perspective.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Soviet\u2013 the socialist government here will have produced within two years, 17 million dollars in textbooks, will take out little white faces that\u2019ve been\u2013 and many of the\u2013 and now<\/em> have been removed. They\u2019ve got some very good educational material, particularly elementaries\u2013 elementary levels. (Turns from mic to speak with someone)<\/p>\n

On we go with the news. Overall, scores on tests were higher than any Commonwealth nation, the tests on students. The great change in improvement has been shown since independence, a marked\u2013 marked change even from 1971. All students are testing higher on academic tests that they have to pass in order to go into colleges. So you need to keep that in mind, for those that are interested later in scholarships. We\u2019re not asking Guyana for any scholar\u2013 scholarships this year, we\u2019re too new, too young in our own experience. We\u2019ve not given Guyana enough help, in my opinion, in the administration\u2019s opinion, it\u2019d be very untimely, at the Town Forum, we decided two months ago, to ask for any scholarships now. And you have to get Soviet scholarships and Cuban, and they\u2019re available, lots of them. Italy, Netherlands, even capitalist areas. U\u2013 UK, Jamaica, socialist Jamaica, East Germany. Communist East Germany. (stumbles over words) The Guyanese government alone, 1.7 million dollars on September for training programs for youth abroad, not count[ing] the living cost. And in many cases, like in the Soviet Union, all living expenses are paid by the socialist government, like in the U\u2013 uh, the Soviet Union, USSR, because they realize they\u2019ve had many, many years to develop, whereas Guyana\u2019s just beginning, and other nations like it.<\/p>\n

Trade unions, clerical and commercial workers from Curacao and Jamaica, are holding a giant conference , a great conference of free trade unions here in Guyana, that our enemies now are trying to say is a dictatorship. As I pointed out clearly yesterday, in their low sentences, where even a person carrying a weapon with ammunition of only 250 dollars, and they\u2019re coming down on the little people like that, he was just an Indian, uh, Amerindian that was without wealth, using it in his hunting, they come down easy on people that are now poor or not developed enough under the socialist economy that they\u2019re trying to bring about, egalitarianism here in Guyana to bring more jobs. But those guilty of white collar crimes, those government leaders that had been doing things illegal are getting the book throwed at them for small offenses. That\u2019s not the way it works in USA. Mr. Nixon went free, and all those in government that were trying to destroy, using criminal methods, trying to destroy other people and destroy U\u2013 the entire United States government, in fact, what little left of democracy there is. Anyway, I think it doesn\u2019t hold water that our enemies are saying \u2013 we know<\/em> it doesn\u2019t \u2013 that there\u2019s no freedom<\/em> in Guyana after the referendum. Nobody\u2019s been arrested, none of those who opposed<\/em> the referendum have been challenged. (Pause) The Guyana Council of Churches did not go out for the referendum, and they\u2019re still bad-mouthing every day when our people attend, the\u2013 the Council of Churches, they\u2019re just uh, as negative as they ever were. (Turns briefly from mic) And so, that speaks also that the free trade unions of the Caribbean would choose this as their meeting p\u2013 place. They will not meet in the ar\u2013 areas where they consider to be dictatorships.<\/p>\n

Georgetown water, low pressure. Certain hours on different kind of power, because of the crippling effect of ec\u2013 economic boycotts that\u2019ve been held against them by Britain and USA imperialism in the past. Since the rainy season is terribly<\/em> increased in Guyana and in other parts of the world, we see people in other areas, better have too<\/em>much water, \u2018cause here there\u2019s no dangers of flooding to us, we\u2019d prefer too<\/em> much water, that\u2019s not going to hurt us rather than be in those terrible droughts, where millions are near death in Africa. If it had not been for yesterday\u2019s news, as I told you, the Soviet Union\u2019s sending so much medicines and foods which they think they can save a half of them\u2013 a half of that number alone, but no one else is sending anything, US only bothers to send people military aides and hardware to keep the people from being free to self-govern themselves.<\/p>\n

Now we shall continue with the news. (Pause)<\/p>\n

I do want our people told in Georgetown to boil their water, because there\u2019s additional water purification being added to the Georgetown water. We have so many things here, we\u2019re not grateful enough, beautiful well spring up naturally, where are\u2013 the good\u2013 the good power of my mind led us to that conclusion, when people told us we couldn\u2019t get water, every place I told them to drill, they did get water. And we have good fresh water, no minerals, no chemicals, like any big city, even in a socialist country, like Georgetown, have to use. We have our own wonderful water in from mineral springs underneath the world\u2013 underneath this earth, spring up and give us new life. We have good water here. Someone was complaining a few days ago about its taste, that very taste is some of its rich minerals that you need for your health. And I like its taste, myself. Some of you wouldn\u2019t like anything, you couldn\u2019t make them happy in any way possible. If you were to give them all the gold on the world, and give them St. Peter\u2019s Gate, they still would be complaining.<\/p>\n

The Zambian round-up by\u2013 of their foreigners, because of the working with imperialists, has been praised by Guyana Broadcasting Network. This may<\/em> be a forerunner that some others can fear here<\/em>, \u2018cause we were told confidentially that the big American leader, US leader, white man of the Lutheran Church here in Guyana, thinks he\u2019s taking a vacation in the United States, he wants to try to whitemail us<\/a>, but I fortunately, miraculously thought to keep something that uh, could turn the cards, let us say. It did not make him very comfortable, because it was something that put him in a very bad light, for all of his Christianity. But years before, I\u2019d thought to do something that was very helpful, very helpful indeed, so he quit whitemailing us. He had the nerve to ask us for money, lo\u2013 lots of it, and if we didn\u2019t give it, that uh, he would write and see that bad articles were printed about us in the Caribbean and by the church council. But it was never\u2013 it never happened, and that shows you how low some people go. Well, anyway, a good cabinet friend, minister, high levels of government here told us that he thinks he\u2019s taking a vacation, but he will not be allowed back into the country.<\/p>\n

All right. Florida test tube baby case. Great uh, court demands were made by the couple who had uh, wanted a baby born in a test tube, has now been done successfully for the first time, you know, in\u2013 in the world, in Britain. Anyway, they only got fifty thousand dollars awarded. The couple were given that for mental distress. Dr. Vandevess\u2013 Dr. Vandevell, who was the one that broke the test tube, calling it dangerous precedence for a new age of robots, was totally cleared, however, of charge\u2013 uh, uh, of his charge of destroying the embryo. Hospital\u2019s going to have to pay also all the medical expenses encumbered by the woman in addition to the fifty thousand dollars awarded the couple for mental distress.<\/p>\n

Richard Nixon says US should send arms to all nations where USSR (Pause) has strong ties. It is widely seen by many commentators that the American press has not been able to tarnish Richard Nixon. He reemerges with the same kind of hate you saw in the movie yesterday that you\u2019ll be tested on in Peoples Rally, the Rosenbergs [Ethel and Julius], you saw how he gave up\u2013 held up for the eyes of the world a false blank tape, held up false pictures, to try to get Alger Hiss, and did get him in jail, a great social democrat in the State Department, he had to go to jail for years, so many went to jail over socialism\u2013 or charged with being socialist. He was charged with being a communist, never had belonged to the Communist Party. Alger Hiss had never once. He was a high level government administrator, traveled all over the world for the US government, but before Nixon got through, he was a fall guy. And you\u2019ve seen Nixon and his dirty tricks, way back with his little dog, when he was taking bribes, when he was in Congress. But it never seemed to stop Richard Nixon. Became vice-president, then he\u2013 under [Dwight D.] Eisenhower, and went on to great success in a New York law firm, making millions, entered the White House due to financial s\u2013 reverses, penniless practically, he left the White House with two estates given to him by the government, one on Florida, one in California, that are worth millions. They let him keep that. He has been, you can tell, a man of great stress by his voice, and uh, he can\u2019t stand to have his image at all reminded of him, uh, brought to his attention about being responsible for Watergate, ordering criminal acts to be done against private citizens, trying to bring US into a dictatorship. Now the Voice of America\u2019s hailing his words. He\u2019s being praised very significantly for his stand that US should send immediate arms and the best technical weapons\u2013 of\u2013 offensive weapons, to wherever USSR has a strong hold. That is, in Africa, uh, South [North] Korea, Turkey, all along the Soviet alliances, and Voice of America agreed with him. They didn\u2019t refer even to the days when Richard Nixon was the great criminal that tried to destroy democracy and freedom for all USA.<\/p>\n

Also, Guyana Broadcasting Studios carried Richard Nixon\u2019s statements, but their interpretation was quite negative of it. They could not conceive of a man of his infamy now being a spokesperson again. Looks like he may even get into politics. No one knows particularly where he\u2019s headed, but he has a lot of popularity. You know, the USA is a very strange place. It glorifies things that the press don\u2019t necessarily glorify. One of the favorite hew\u2013 One of the favorite heroes, you remember, of the people a few years ago was Charles Manson. That shows how much violence there is in the American mood, that they would glorify a senseless murderer. Or at least, that\u2019s what we\u2019ve concluded it was, and that\u2019s what they<\/em> would\u2019ve had to conclude it was from the press, because that\u2019s all the press ever had to say about Charles Manson, so if they identified with him, and they contin\u2013 considered him to be (stumbles over words)\u2013 USA listed ten people who were the most popular heroes in their minds, and who do you know came up but Charles Manson. So they\u2019re identifying with what the press image has made of him, and that one of bloody murder, the violence, senseless killings, all sorts of things. I\u2019m sorry to tell you, (pause) that Richard Nixon now has more popularity on the polls \u2013 yes, hold your\u2013 hold your hair, we don\u2019t have wigs here anymore, hold your false teeth \u2013 Richard Nixon is leading Carter in the polls. Even though everybody then two, three years ago say he should\u2019ve gone to jail. He\u2019s even admitted and conceded to his crimes, but that\u2019s USA. After they\u2019ve torn up everybody, destroyed the images of all good people, made people to distrust the decent like ourselves, try to blacken\u2013 whiten<\/a> our names, absolutely smear us, and Huey [Newton], Synanon, Scientology and other government leaders, like Congressman [Charles] Diggs, facing 175 years in the federal penitentiary, and all such people of that sort, that\u2019d been attacked and destroyed, even resurrecting [Hubert H.] Humphrey, uh, you know, Senator Humphrey, now they resurrected him no sooner than he got cold in his grave and started accusing him of crimes, taking bribes and so forth, so I suppose that a good Richard Nixon will look uh, quite good to the US populace now, maybe he represents their own criminal side. And there is a criminal side to everyone in USA, their racist side, their selling point side. You know what I mean.<\/p>\n

James Earl Ray continues to testify. Englishman says, that they\u2019ve brought forward (Pause) that uh, James Earl Ray bragged about killing a black man. However, you know the facts on that. We want to see that\u2013 those facts that I just gave uh, from the Memphis Scimitar<\/em> that\u2019s read and known, uh, that uh, journalist who\u2019s now a lawyer in Memphis [Wayne Chastain], we went that to be sent to all government leaders, by the way, here. They don\u2019t get some of those things. Portable 8R1 [Radio calls letters] will see that that gets back with them. It should be written up in very clear, typewritten form. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Now we shall go on a bit more of the news. Never seems to quite end. The Assassinations Select Committee, the Select Committee to Study Assassinations in the House committee, Ray will be called back in November. So we\u2019ll hear nothing until November.<\/p>\n

All aspects of the conspiracy, even admitted BBC, was not covered or dealt with. Much of it was not even allowed to be brought up before the Select Committee in the Hou\u2013 House of Representatives, USA, on Assassinations. You can obviously see they don\u2019t want<\/em> the news, they don\u2019t want the truth. They wouldn\u2019t have ever let him get back<\/em> out of his meeting, they\u2019ve wouldn\u2019t have let him come, if they had not\u2013 been afraid of his conversations or his testimony. I knew that. They\u2019re going to make mockery of him some way. As we\u2019ve seen, the first day, and all through his interrogations, it was a black congressman [Louis Stokes] trying to make uh, an ass out of him, and trying to show that he was the lone assassin, and had no cooperation, when we have all this evidence to the contrary. And the only live witness that I gave you yesterday, Grace Walden, was put in a mental hospital, it\u2019s on her mental hospital records, that she was kept there and was to be kept there until all proceedings had been finished on James Earl Ray and Martin Luther King. Well, our author has her, I think, and he\u2019s aiding her right now, the author that\u2019s coming. He\u2019s already in Georgetown. He\u2019s saying very high praises of this community, he speaks in glowing terms of what we are and what we\u2019ve done there, and he hasn\u2019t even seen the beauty of this lovely socialist community. His name is Don Freed \u2013 remember that \u2013 and very, very knowledgeable, very informed, they say. We always keep a wary eye for everything, as I told you. You never know. The CIA have used highly-literate, highly-intelligent and very highly-trained and seemingly sensitive people. They know how to play a good front. Although I doubt very much that uh, this author is. He\u2019s been showing his true colors for years, and he\u2019s broke now, from uh, the fact that he wrote such controversial plays as you saw on Rosenbergs, did the documentary work for it, did Rush to Judgment<\/em>, that showed the involvement of oil-rich corporations in the murder of uh, President [John F.] Kennedy and Senator [Robert F.] Kennedy. He did that in conjunction with Mark Lane, who\u2019s presently the lawyer, trying to defend James Earl Ray\u2019s right to a new trial in USA and his right to get the information that he has before the American people. But it\u2019s been blocked, every move he made was blocked, even BBC said. They apparently do not want him to even tell<\/em> what he has on his mind, or what he thinks he knows<\/em>, said BBC. They cannot understand what is the\u2013 the reason for this hesitancy to allow James Earl Ray to speak on certain matters. But they have blocked it, and they\u2019re going to recess him and maybe the entire Select House Committee on Assassinations until November. Well, it\u2019s not to be taken with any surprise here. Not to be taken by any as a surprise. Painful, you can hear it in my voice, I\u2019m sure you feel it too, but there\u2019s nothing but management of information, no one ever gets to know the truth in USA.<\/p>\n

A major uh, political attempt to get a reactionary, young mayor Dennis [Kucinich] \u2013 youngest mayor\u2013 mayor in USA in Cleveland, who had practiced all kinds of uh, lovely little corrupt acts, supporting police corruption and had members of his family put in strategic and highly-paid financial positions in his government, in his uh, administration of the city of Cleveland, he was doing all the pork-barreling and uh, nepotism that could be done, he was giving uh, special favors to people that had supported him. It was a corrupt mess. And it\u2019s a community that is most black. He had done nothing to implement blacks on the police force, he\u2019d kept in uh, various police leaders who were intransigent to change, even causing sell-out former Sheriff [Richard] Hongisto, who wouldn\u2019t stand up for anything in San Francisco, it was even too much for him<\/em>, the corruption, and he<\/em> had to quit. The mayor said if he hadn\u2019t a quit, he would\u2019ve been fired<\/em>. Anyway, he\u2013 in a recount vote, he still leads, 233\u2013 2333 votes, rather, so he will not be losing his position. That sure shows you that you can\u2019t depend upon our black relatives and so-called friends back there, because of the community where they had 65% of the vote, they still let the\u2013 They\u2013 They have that many Uncle Toms and Aunt Janes, went to the polls and voted for corruption and kept Mayor Dennis in his position. The recall election of last Sunday was totally unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

[Howard] Jarvis, the old bigot of California that got Proposition 13 passed, in his seventies now, the man who\u2019s suffered all of his life from very painful arthritis, but he seems to be trying to prea\u2013 create pain for everybody else. (Pause) He has now launched a nationwide campaign after speaking to literally thousands in Fort Worth, he went on\u2013 went on to New York City where it\u2019s expected that he will address similarly thousands. He\u2019s launched a nationwide campaign to reduce taxes. No, I don\u2019t get encouraged. There\u2019ll be a 20, 30 percent tax increase, but it doesn\u2019t have a thing to do with the poor. It will affect no one with wages under fifty thousand dollars. And he wants to abolish every penny that the capitalists have to pay in capital gains. Capital gains tank\u2013 taxes not only should be reduced, as Carter and the Congress are trying to get done, with the big capitalists making slaves more out of people every day, exploiting US labor and\u2013 a hundred time worse than they exploit our own people back in USA, doing it abroad in Africa, even anyone<\/em> suggesting that capital gains would\u2013 would be reduced<\/em> should be considered a brutal murderer. But he wants to do away with tax on the big capitalist altogether. And strangely enough, thousands of the middle class wherever he goes seem to be there, though very few of his audience could possibly be making the 50,000 dollar cutoff figure. In that position, he\u2019s working much like the Congress tax bill, which will affect mostly people who make over 50,000 dollars a year, and do nothing absolutely for those who make under 20,000 dollars a year.<\/p>\n

Anyway, begin (stumbles over words) he has begun his campaign, Ganns [Paul Gann] has, for a nationwide tax cut by the federal government, and it looks, said the pollsters\u2013 it looks like he will have grassroots support.<\/p>\n

CBS, Prime Minister Smith does not object to sitting down with black leader opponents, as long as there is\u2013 there is qualified\u2013 (stumbles over words) those are qualified. Now that\u2019s more gobbledygook. I suppose that USA are just acting like they\u2019re really interested in talk\u2013 talking, and they claim that Smith is willing to talk, but CBS says that he\u2019s putting that<\/em> on. How in the hell is he<\/em> to determine what black leader is qualified. And he demands a suitable gen\u2013 agenda. And he also demands that there also be a ceasefire of the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front. The Zimbabwean Patriotic Front has also required certain things of him. No more violence, his police, secret police, that the\u2013 all the mercenaries that\u2019ve been brought in by USA, Britain, will have to be expelled, and that not one of his\u2013 their people, Joshua Nkomo, who\u2019s a great nationalist leader of the Patriotic Front of Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe, the Marxist leader, that form the alliance of the Patriotic Front, have demanded these things, and we\u2019ve heard nothing of any willingness on Smith\u2019s part, and I\u2019m sure USA not willing to take back the 16,000 that they trained so well in the arts of torture, to maintain the 6000 corporations that they have there, bleeding Rhodesia and Union of South Africa to death.<\/p>\n

Police inspector says that, uh\u2013 No.<\/p>\n

Mark Lane becomes chagrined and becomes absolutely irate in the last hour of the session in closed doors, as I told you, of the Select Committee on Assassinations being conducted by the House of Representatives USA, he was irate, said the BBS\u2013 uh, BBC, rather, as what they tried to do in the last minute was bring forward a police inspector. Fortunately, Mark Lane \u2013 good friend of the author that\u2019s coming here and joint author of the book Rush to Judgment<\/em> \u2013 had some file<\/em> on this police inspector. He was a cop who had been dismissed for theft and<\/em> corruption, and as Mark Lane pointed out, that\u2019s seldom ever done by law enforcement agencies, so he had to be a real criminal. And Mark Lane objected to anything<\/em> he had to say on the subject of James Earl Ray. He was trying to qualify that James Earl Ray was the lone assassin. It was not mentioned by BBC whether he got\u2013 whether they got to give the full testimony of the police inspector, but the implication is, from what I gather of the news, that he did get to give his full testimony, this corrupt ex-police inspector, who\u2019s now nothing but a criminal working in the underground\u2013 uh, in the underworld, I should say, underground\u2019s a world\u2013 word of respect for those socialists who have to go underground to find for liberty, or like Harriet Tubman did, for the freedom of our people a century or so ago. Anyway, all witnesses, say Mark Lane, that\u2019ve been brought up by the government, are criminals, and he said this is nothing more than a kangaroo court that doesn\u2019t intend to do anything just.<\/p>\n

Carter will vacation, as I told you, there\u2019s much being made of that, he\u2019d going to go back to nature, he wants to be away from everybody for two weeks, he hopes, his health needs it, said he\u2013 the pressures are getting pretty heavy, and before he meets with the Israelis and\u2013 and the Egyptians in Camp David September 7, he\u2019s going to get about the worst rugged conditions of life, calling for the more\u2013 more nature, uh, rugged clothes, they\u2019re going to get away from it all. Everybody wants to get away from it all. That\u2019s why, as I said, it must be on the black form\u2013 blackboard how much beauty we have, but we\u2019re always kicking. Everybody would love this. This is like being in\u2013 like, in a lovely camp, summer camp, an outing, a nature outing all year long, and some people gripe all the time.<\/p>\n

Anyway. The mayor of Memphis [J. Wyeth Chandler] has worked out what seems to be a workable agreement to end the police strike and fireman\u2019s strike in Memphis, just short of the army arresting all of them. I guess they didn\u2019t want to do that, so the demands of the police \u2013 naturally \u2013 and the firemen are being met. That\u2019s the case. The union miners, the people who do the dirty work, the whites that had to do that horrible work and live only to an average life expectancy, due to black lung, or what we would call white lung, disease silicosis, they uh, got no demands. They weren\u2019t even given any help by labor union\u2013 unions. No one offered to join in this\u2013 a sympathy strike with them, but the Memphis teachers did. Even they, the teachers, went along with the striking firemen and the police, refusing to cross picket lines, to teach even all their little white children, for the most part. Nonetheless, the American people know that they\u2019re got to keep the police happy. The ruling class got to keep the police happy. So they did arrest a few, and they didn\u2019t get everything<\/em> they demanded, but they did get the wage increase. Anyway, that\u2019s the way it appears at this time.<\/p>\n

We shall move on with the news. Columbia University and the doctor there, as you know, have been also sued for experimentation. They\u2019ve been uh, sued for\u2013 for experimentational work. Of what nature, I do not know. Someone\u2019s charged them with uh, doing something against one of their loved ones in the hospital, in the university hospital.<\/p>\n

Dorothy Upchurch, meter maid, says USA is being\u2013 she\u2019s protesting that in the police work that she does, she\u2019s forced to wear pink, and the policemen, she said, ought to be forced to wear pink too<\/em>, if that is what required of her. They\u2019re allowed to wear blue<\/em>, which they prefer. And so she said, I don\u2019t like pink, and I want to wear blue. So she\u2019s before a Civilian Review Board and making a legal suit out of the matter of her wishing to wear blue instead of pink, and I\u2019m not concerned about the white little lady in the first place, so I didn\u2019t even bother to catch\u2013 I closed my ears, I guess, on the radio to know what town it was in. Anyway, I try to give you all<\/em> the news. It\u2019s not my business to qualify it, none of my business to even uh, reflect on something that I might personally feel, unless I can do it objectively. I try to make my commentaries as objective as possible. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve been able to look and empathize with China, and certainly consider the USSR, the Soviet Union, the avant garde, modern day vanguard, front line liberation leader in Africa.<\/p>\n

Anyway, a Calhoun\u2013 a gentleman by Calhoun stepped forward and said he lied in the trial of that\u2013 his testimony in a previous trial and hearing before the FBI. Now what makes us think he isn\u2019t lying now? As he is a criminal again, Cory Calhoun, and Mark Lane said the government has pressed him and quite well rehearsed<\/em> him, in a new story<\/em>, that it is not the same story that he gave while in Atlanta. He said that Ray was not<\/em> there, that Ray could not have been there, and he gave other pertinent testimony which I do not know. But now he has turned around and become a government witness, probably out of something they\u2019ve held over his head. And they\u2019ll do to him like they do all finks. They call them government witnesses, but we call them finks, just what they are. He will get it, they\u2019ll not keep their bargain, they\u2019ll not pay him, just like uh, [David] Greenglass, who sold out his sister, Ethel Rosenberg before our eyes, we saw her die, and with her husband. Physically, women are stronger, the electrical impulse was the same that killed her husband, who\u2013 it should have been the same amount to kill her, but they had to give three times, three jolts, and they said, even from the first one, while she was alive, the smoke was rising from her body. Ah yes, I want the graphic details, I don\u2019t want to forget people like her. I don\u2019t want to forget that they laid down their life for what they believed, when they coulda sold out and gotten off. If they\u2019da pled that they were\u2013 if they just said simply, one occasion they were guilty. She said, no, that would\u2019ve corrupted\u2013 They both agreed, that would\u2019ve corrupted all<\/em> of our sincerity and the honesty of what we\u2019d been fighting, an unjust political crime. They\u2019d been charged for political reasons, they\u2013 No one really believes that the Rosenbergs ever gave any secrets. Now, on another occasion, they could\u2019ve gotten off entirely<\/em>, if they would\u2019ve gotten before the eyes of the television and become a puppet for USA imperialist interests, to tell Jews not to trust Communism, and that we all should be building the Zionist state of Israel. But they didn\u2019t do it. So I\u2019m gonna keep in my mind, Ethel and Julius, all my life. And for you who have the idea that women are not strong, physically, like some of these idiots that are now talking about, women should not be allowed in the US armed forces, because they\u2019re only capable of\u2013 much of\u2013 no more than a 13-year-old, and they\u2019re weak, their dexterity is not good\u2013 (turns head from mic) I\u2019m surprised the Voice of America in an\u2013 in such an enlightened era, would try to put women in that light. They are physically stronger, as is proven every turn of the ro\u2013 road. Fortunately, Julius died with the first impulse of terrifying electricity, burning up his body, that will run through him in the electric chair in Sing Sing where he\u2019d been framed. But they had to go two more, the same amount, two more jolts of high, high electric energy into the body of Ethel before she was dead.<\/p>\n

Oh my God, (sighs) it\u2019s painful to think, all our tax dollars have done, all our government has done, and we let them get by with it. I wish somebody\u2019d been willing to make the protest many, many years ago. I surely woulda done it. But after reading this\u2013 some of the affidavits, my kids, you kids, just reading one last night, that they found out about Stephan [Jones], how sensitive, how he wants to be out with nature, and he wants to do physical work, but making himself conform, conditioning himself to be identification point for people and to not be his own will, not let his own desires prevail, but at a\u2013 a young age that he has, he\u2019s now willing to become an identification point. That kind of beauty, what he told of his life, pain of his life, being with myself and Marceline [Jones] as crusaders, it\u2019s just uh, almost too heavy, but he also said so beautifully, as my kids have all said, now is Stephan\u2019s time, I always set an example of practice before them. Years ago, I\u2019d do the physical work, building our driveway, all of it before them, when I had time to do that, carried buckets of stone. I would not ask them to do things, I would do it with<\/em>them, when I was not so beleaguered now, I wish I had some time. You that have time for physical work, please take it. I always loved that that opportunity, when it\u2019s something close to the radio room, that I can participate in. Now I\u2019m fighting pressures that have come, and I\u2019ll be around to fight a long while, but the pain and the sickness of my body have been caused because I loved you<\/em> so much that I took upon myself your pains and your suffering. Much easier, that kind of a savior, liberator, than Jesus Christ, who\u2019s supposed to have done something by dying on a cross. No one can help another person\u2019s pain by dying on a cross. If I\u2019m ever am killed or martyred in that sense, perhap\u2013 perhaps it\u2019ll bring the best<\/em> out in you. But uh, it certainly much more act of courage for me to go on living and producing. That is what you need. Caring for you when you don\u2019t care for me, those of you that show so little regard for my health, and always have to have your questions answered right on the spot. But so what? Children are starving around the world, you have no reason to complain.<\/p>\n

San Francisco. There\u2019s a uh, big prostitution ring that has been broken. It\u2019s carried worldwide significant news. The housewife, the rich white woman in Pacific Heights who has\u2013 her so\u2013 her husband has high governmental connections, they had been in business, where they had been uh, cracked for? Prostitution. The mother was using her two sons as pimps to get the best kind of desirable girls, from white and which\u2013 in black, and which is particularly preferred these days, Chinese. They had a harem of Chinese young ladies. And so it was cracked, and they had to uh, do something about it. Who were its\u2013 uh, who was participating in the house of prostitution? Nothing but the children of the rich, doing bizarre things, weird and sick things to the poor little girls that they\u2019d picked up, some of them as young as 12 years of age in Chinatown, USA, San Francisco. Twelve years of age, to be held in Pacific Heights in a kind of a bond slavery, \u2018cause they got not enough money, just like I told you was a ca se before Cuba was freed under socialism. They would get enough to maintain them and their clothes, and then promises that their families would be given support later, which never came. The average China\u2013 the Chinese in San Francisco are still working for a dollar an hour, trying to sew, 16, 18 hours a days, wearing things like this\u2013 the dirtiest, most menial work. You would think that all over, our people, the Chinese, the Asians, the Chicanos, the Indians, the blacks realizes\u2013 would realize their common solidarity and throw off the shackles. I\u2019ll die trying. That\u2019s what I\u2019da done. That\u2019s what we\u2019da done if we\u2019d any friends, we\u2019da got in the fight, if there\u2019d been anybody concerned. Even if we did<\/em> die, we\u2019ve never been afraid to stand up for what we believe, there wasn\u2019t really no socialism. Anyway, that\u2013 that\u2019s not what happened there. And unfortunately, uh, we\u2013 no matter how much this kind of expos\u00e9, the Chinese girls being forced into prostitution\u2013 and all, white too. To be the pleasure of the rich set of San Francisco. The news leaked through the [Bay<\/em>] Guardian<\/em>, which is a kind of left of center newspaper, so the major newspapers were forced\u2013 the capitalist press was forced to deal with it.<\/p>\n

Weeks of hearings are close to try to an end with Ray. As I told you. Nothing has been able to be shown of the real conspiracy. The old reactionary lies and liars, manipulators, and the tools of them like Stokes, tried to\u2013 incessantly to tear down the rather flawless tear\u2013 testimony, as BBC reported. The ironclad testimony of James Earl Ray, that he was involved in a conspiracy, he was a fall guy of a conspiracy to murder Martin Luther King. No reason to be given for Calhoun to be lying as a government wi\u2013 government witness, when he told the truth for James Earl Ray, said uh, the Voice of America. Well, obviously it could be. He never did<\/em> tell the truth for James Earl Ray once before. When is<\/em> he telling the truth? And now it\u2019s a government case against him, he\u2019s obviously been paid off, just like the man was\u2013 been given liquor to be\u2013 I think he may be even dead by now, that was the only witness that would sign an extradition order. Stevens, that I told you about. Stevens in the uh, (pause) commentary I gave you yesterday about the murder of Martin Luther King. What about the two businessmen that have disappeared from the face of the earth, that offered 50,000 dollars each for King to be assassinated. \u2018Course, Voice of America knows reasons for Calhoun to lie. Or Calvin, whichever, I can\u2019t quite make the name out from the radio. The former police inspector who was, as I told you, corrupt, dirty official, and you have to be dirty to get fired, you really have to get real<\/em> dirty to get fired from a police department, because it seldom happens. They even kept people on who were murderers. Yes, indeed, you know many departments, and all they got were just a little pep talk from the chief of police, because police don\u2019t have to go through what we do, if we commit a crime in USA, we go through a court, may be biased against us. Certainly never do we see our peers judging us, as with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, no liberals were allowed on the court [jury], no p\u2013 progressives, no Jews. And then\u2013 and you\u2019re supposed to have a jury trial by those who are your peers<\/em>. That would\u2019ve had to\u2019ve included people working for civil rights, socialism, and of course, Jews, even if they came from an ethnic background, but not so in USA.<\/p>\n

Well, enough for this business. It\u2019s gonna be whitewashed anyway. As I told you, I predicted and prophesied earlier, they\u2019ll whitewash this mess\u2013 this mess, they\u2019ll never let it be known to the American public, if the higher le\u2013 government levels were involved, as it\u2019s clear here from the e\u2013 evidence we have, documentation from Memphis white pre\u2013 press, Sci\u2013 Scimitar<\/em>, the Memphis Scimitar<\/em>, and this reporter then, now a lawyer, practicing judge. If it wouldn\u2019t be him, they\u2019re not going to believe anyone. But he lays out facts, times, places, and he had no reason to lie, because he\u2019s endangering his life by telling the truth. If he gets too close\u2013 if they get too close to the conspiracy of government and big business that murdered the Kennedys and Martin Luther King and Malcolm [X], you\u2019ll see that minute, that everybody, every witness will be offed, or there\u2019ll be a police takeover, an army takeover of the system, like you saw in Greece, when Z.<\/em> We all should remember Z<\/em>. If you\u2019re asked about it tonight, could you ask\u2013 could you tell me something in the past that you learned about Z<\/em>? I would hope so. It was Z<\/em>, about how democracy was overthrown in Greece, when they got too<\/em> close to the conspiracy that led to the general of their national police, and they didn\u2019t get arrested very long, didn\u2019t stay arrested, but the people that brought out the evidence, the reporter, the prosecutor who followed his conscience and refused to be intimidated by the French\u2013 by the Greece so-called democracy, the government, he went ahead and did his work, proved the conspiracy, then the military came right out in the open and took over and put people in the concentration camps. We have all those patterns of history to look at.<\/p>\n

Sounds\u2013 San Salvador has had a horrible tidal wave\u2013 (tape distorts) \u2013so helpful. But we have to have to realize\u2013<\/p>\n

Part 2: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Our author friend is coming, he\u2019s on the boat now, and they\u2019re already on the high seas coming. Also Freed, Don Freed. He\u2019s in on the\u2013 the assassinations investigations in Congress. He claims that the secretary (unintelligible word), Charles Garry\u2019s eyes, \u2018cause he is in Washington, and he has that chief witness that I told you. He\u2019s taking the time to come here because he thinks that we have the answer to the future building something. Probably thinking about himself in the time of fascist storm and concentration camps<\/a>. (Pause) Executive Action<\/em>, which all should know, because it was one of the books written. I\u2019m giving you a synopsis of Executive Action<\/em>, another one of Freed\u2019s good books, like Rush To Judgment<\/em> and Parallax View<\/em>. Exac\u2013 Executive Action<\/em> opens stating how in three years after John F. Kennedy and [Lee Harvey] Oswald had been killed, 18 witnesses that had been interviewed as chief witnesses of the assassination, were all uh, killed. (Pause) (unintelligible sentence) After\u2013 Three years after JFK\u2013 JFK and Oswald have been killed, 18 witnesses that had been interviewed by the FBI, Warren Commission, Dallas police and uh, other agencies, (Pause) 18 of them were murdered, or died under mysterious circumstances. It defies all statistical odds, that such a thing could happen. There\u2019s not one in a trillion trillion trillion times, mathematical\u2013 mathematically speaking that it could be achieved. To be exact, about one hundred thousand trillion to one. It\u2019s only one hundred thousand trillion to one that 18 witnesses could be killed three years after the murder of John F. Kennedy. But they were, all 18, were dead. If, taking natural causes, murder, anti-social behavior, health problems, there\u2019s only one chance in every hundred thousand trillion\u2013 taking the chance of a hundred thousand trillion to one that that could\u2019ve happened. Don Freed and Mark Lane outlined the assassination chronologically from the training grounds, Colorado, Chicago, where professional killers, CIA, SS agents prepare themselves for JFK and Martin Luther King\u2019s murder. Their demise. These fools meet in the mansion of one\u2013 of one of the top filthy rich operators of the monopoly ruling class who proposes plans and the rationale (unintelligible word)\u2013 Give them a seat over in the di\u2013 dining room area, Pop and Mom Jackson uh, don\u2019t look like they know what\u2013 where they\u2019re to go. Someone help them, will you? Get some of their (unintelligible word). (Pause) So I continue with this. But the top starts with a fool\u2013 fool\u2019s meeting in a mansion in one of the top filthy rich operations of monopoly capitalism which proposes plans and the rationale for the elimination of John F. Kennedy. Those attending are remar\u2013 retired military officers, oil rich tycoons, and syndicate heads. This is based on a factual thing\u2013 This is about Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy\u2019s murder by the monopoly capitalists, CIA, so forth and so on. The big rich fat cat oil interests that killed Kennedy. Those attending are retired military officers, as I said, oil rich tycoons, and s\u2013 crime syndicate heads. Their intention is to keep the influence of communism from becoming global. They don\u2019t want communism to be global, because they know the people will then take up the struggle against US capitalism, so they meet to have a plan, according to Don Freed, who\u2019s going to be our guest, his book,called Executive Action<\/em>, they meet to try to find ways of blocking the influence of communism around the world. John F. Kennedy\u2019s shown\u2013 he\u2019s shown championing pro-Soviet ideas, and threatening to decrease military budgets, which\u2013 which he did do that. And to cut the oil de\u2013 depletion allowance, which he did that. Not very much, but he threatened to do it, (stumbles over words) which would obviously affect economic interests and natural resources like oil, all through the portrol\u2013 portray\u2013 they showed John F. Kennedy as a nepotist \u2013 n-e-p-o-t-i-s-t \u2013 who would sooner or late have minorities in authority, or taking positions, and they don\u2019t want more blacks or Indians in power. This is a bit\u2013 factual kind of book, Executive Action<\/em>, based on uh, real life situations. Interwoven throughout is Oswald\u2019s connection with the CIA and his cover as a quasi-communist who spends time in the Soviet Union. It\u2019s all part of a cover for him, he never was, according to Don Freed, who wrote this book, a uh\u2013 he never was indeed a uh, communist, he just went to Russia to make it appear like it was a Russian plot. And he has a Russian wife [Marina Oswald]. Also they show Oswald being supported to the Castro regime, at the time Oswald is paid off as a dupe, a paranoid, but unconscious when it comes to electronic surveillance. Freed points out the involvement of Army and Navy intelligence. You remember when Oswald saw some of the maps of his friends, he said, I am a patsy, I have\u2013 I\u2019m their patsy. The Secret Service\u2019s blas\u00e9 attitude when it comes to fully checking out Dallas after hearing about possible threats to assassinate John F. Kennedy is shown, their indifference is similar to the Dallas police, who decided not to act when they\u2019re told\u2013 until they\u2019re told by SS\u2013 What\u2019s that? SS. Secret Service men. But when you say SS, that means in Hit\u2013 [Adolf] Hitler\u2019s Germany Gestapo. Secret Service. I had someone else type this up for me. Even after seeing not\u2013 seeing the motorcade rerouted. Not even after seeing the motorcade rerouted did they do so. It points out how Jack Ru\u2013 Ruby\u2013 and there\u2019s a conspiracy to have Kennedy rerouted, to go by those grassy green moles\u2013 knolls. It points out how Jack Ruby, Mafia contact, had a lot of juice in Dallas, walks in the police station at Lee\u2019s invitation, the president luncheon with women dispatching who assign details to police via radio, so on the given day, November 22, she\u2019s not a job\u2013 not at a\u2013 not a job chance of a lifetime for the simple common person. Also convenient for a conspiracy. Now I don\u2019t\u2013 uh, it\u2019s not been written as it was\u2013 made any sense that I gave. I don\u2019t understand this. It points out how Jack\u2013 Jack Ruby, Mafia contact, has a lot of juice in Dallas, walks in the police station at Lee\u2019s invitation, to uh\u2013 leaves it invitation to the president luncheon that the woman dispatcher who assign details to police via radio, so on the given day, November 22, she\u2019s not a job chance of a lifetime for the simple common person. I don\u2019t know who\u2013 would someone please, read\u2013 uh, type this. This don\u2019t make any sense to me. She\u2019s not a job chance of a lifetime for the simple common person. Also convenient for conspiracy. That\u2019s not clear, that part, and I don\u2019t like to give people things that are not clear.<\/p>\n

All right. Oswald\u2019s given a double, who goes around \u2013 we know that\u2019s the case, that\u2019s true \u2013 like he\u2019s a madman, outra\u2013 raging and (unintelligible word)and the public also fixes up a picture of Oswald, making him look like a flaming revolutionary with a rifle and pro-Castro literature in hand. That\u2019s also true. They put a body\u2013 they put Oswald\u2019s head on somebody else\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

All right. Just outrageous shit. One of the heads operatives who\u2019s overseeing the assassination is confronted by the oil tar\u2013 tycoons, the big monopoly capitalist oil interests. Other top CIA operatives, that is Nixon and his gang and other agents who refer often to the Communist threat globally, and John F. Kennedy increased the popularity and is calling for a united mankind, his refusal to retaliate full\u2013 with full air por\u2013 air support in the invasion of uh\u2013 no, I should not say retaliate, he refuses to invade against the independent, free, socialist state of Cuba by giving an order to back their invasion up. The land forces of the Mafia and the CIA and the ex-Cuban right-wingers, and the US military people (unintelligible word) in the\u2013 in the uh, land invasion, but Kennedy refused to give air support, so they wanted to make him pay for calling for a united mankind and also he called to pull out of Vietnam and controls on nuclear weapons. He wanted tight controls on nuclear weapons. That\u2019s one thing Kennedy did realize danger of. Here are some key reasons given in Executive Ans\u2013 Action<\/em> for eliminating Kennedy at the same time, the same interests and agencies are planning to off Martin Luther King. The movie\u2019s all about that, and the book is about. Executive Action<\/em>. The movie didn\u2019t bring it out, though, who it was talking about. The movie was full of propaganda. Freed goes into many of the characters\u2019 personalities, their idiosyncracies, their fears, at how they\u2019d never\u2013 how they\u2019re never at rest, constantly, constantly looking over their shoulders, wondering when their usefulness is worn out. That\u2019s an important thing, he\u2019s capt\u2013 captured how capitalists feel. They\u2019re never safe. Even though they may be the richest, like Howard Hughes, he was killed in his own private airplane, dehydrated and starved. Couldn\u2019t even get a medical doctor because of the vultures that were waiting on him to get his money. So he\u2013\u00a0Freed, in his book Executive Action<\/em>, fills in many of the characters\u2019 personalities, their idiosyncrasies, their eccentricities, their fears, and how they never are at rest, no capitalist, not even rest one moment, looking over their shoulders, wondering when their usefulness is worn out. No matter how well an operative has performed, there\u2019s always doubt, when he or she will be betrayed. No matter if one is a double or triple agent, they\u2019re kept under the closest security, or scrutiny, I should say. Freed shown\u2013 shows the deterioration of an agent and his extermination by contract. The\u2013 (Pause) That the easing up for the assassinations\u2013 assassins with money, the ID, passports and so forth, to get them out of the country, made easy by CIA connections when they want to get rid of some agent or some high-level government person that they don\u2019t want around, or they feel is too soft on communism. Once the operation is appar\u2013 is started, the teams position themselves behind the famous\u2013 Uh, once the operation is started, and the easy out that the assassins have provided them, with money, new ID, and passports to get them out of the country, made so very easy by the CIA, that all the people who participated, he has\u2013 Don Freed has information that they were provided, the assassins, with new ID, money, and gotten out of the United States. He has not mentioned it, but later, I\u2019m sure, some of you hold that they were thought that they had been completely eliminated after they got out of the country. The team\u2013 Once the preparation is made, the teams position themselves being [behind] the famous grassy knoll, where the murder really took place, not from the book depository where Walla\u2013 where Oswald was made the fall guy, and a nearby rooftop and in the sewer, two shots are fired, one hitting Connally, Governor [John] Connally, the Dallas\u2013 the Texas governor, who was rightwing. But they don\u2019t mind if they kill off a few right-wingers to get who they\u2019re after. They\u2013 Even though they\u2019re right wing, they\u2019ll kill off a right-winger, like they tried to kill off Governor Connally, who is a Republican, very conservative. Another hitting John F.K. in the neck. Then lastly, from the knoll, the grassy green knoll, blows his brains out. Oswald has planned and set up long before the last shot, in the book depository with a rifle brought by a look-alike man that had almost the same features as uh, Oswald, and that\u2019s easy to find through CIA and other cloak-and-dagger operations. However, he was have been\u2013 he was to have been killed almost immediately, leaving the book depository. But Jack Ruby takes care of that after Oswald\u2019s brought into custody, and as history has it, the madness continues. It seems surreal in part for the many parts like [George] Orwell\u2019s 1984<\/em> with the doublethink, advanced electronic surveillance, and close scrutiny by the fascist police.<\/p>\n

That is a synopsis of the book Executive Action<\/em>, which you must read, uh, they can put it on the blackboard, but it\u2013 you must know this, because it was written by the man that\u2019s coming tomorrow, very famous, it\u2013 also did Parallax View<\/em> and the Rosenberg trial play. We want uh, to be sure that you read this about Executive Action<\/em> on the blackboard at the library.<\/p>\n

Displays, displays, displays, displays. What the hell that uh, they\u2019re coming now, they should be coming around the bend any minute. Displays, displays. Who\u2019s responsible for displays? Bricks and soap, all those things, bricks and soap, (unintelligible word), come on folks, get the\u2013 get to the level out. Get the level out, all you that have those tables, I hold you responsible. Educational materials. We\u2019ll have to get some help here. Some of the teachers, get your stuff here together. Entertainers are going to be there in just a minute, I\u2013 They know they are, don\u2019t they? That\u2019s good. Hold back there, entertainers. That should be from the beginning, and it\u2019s right now, they\u2019re due in here any minute.<\/p>\n

Voice in crowd<\/strong>: Too soft<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Well, the shops will have to\u2013 Maybe somebody can be in there, explain a little bit about the shops, the manager of the shop, and uh, Cleave [Swinney], I\u2019m sure will cooperate with you. He\u2019s gone, isn\u2019t he.<\/p>\n

Voice in crowd<\/strong>: Too soft<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Tim [Swinney] will be back. Okay. Well, let\u2019s have it fixed up so they can get in there without having to go 84 pieces of mud. Have a plant\u2013 a plank.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan\u2019s independence went ahead smoothly, in spite of the useful myth of the defense ministry that the CIA had groomed so cleverly to overthrow the Soviet, pro-socialist\u2013 pro-Soviet socialist or Marxist government of Afghanistan. [Leonid] Brezhnev and [Alexei] Kosygin sent congratulations and a delegation of high Russian officials went today to Afghanistan, the newest Marxist state in the world. Your success will carry out reform, then they\u2019re praised by Comrade Brezhnev and Kosygin for proclaiming and carry\u2013 practicing a Marxist-Leninist government.<\/p>\n

The US is staying away from the conference on non-discrimination, you know, the United Nations Conference Against Racism, on Racism, in Geneva. They won\u2019t go because there have been thus far 10,000 charges that they have to answer if they came on blatant racial murder. Ten thousand charges. So the USA can\u2019t afford to go. And they\u2019ll be asked why they supposed Zionist Israel also, which would not attend. The number of mercy\u2013 murders that has been done, even in one village, wiped out by the present prime minister, Arab village wiped out by the prime minister of Zionist Israel, Begin.<\/p>\n

China allies with the USA (unintelligible word) Moscow again, for the same reasons, to defeat uh, what they consider the danger of hegemony, because China was not bia\u2013 biased today. Radio Peking is blasting superpower\u2013 both superpowers, USA and the Soviet Union. They\u2019re blasting them both. They\u2013 they call on the Third World to unite, say it\u2019s their only hope, because the superpowers, they\u2019re going to have a war, they might as well get protection, they offered food assistance to Africa, they said you better build protections, Radio Peking is warning the whole nations of the world. Others know where I can pick up Peking, I have time to pick it up, but I got it today. Said Peking Radio said that they vie to give assistance to other nations, Third World nations, developing underground shelters, so that the best of humanity would be left, they said they did not like to have to make such a decision, but it\u2019s obvious to them, said Radio Peking, that there\u2019ll be a nuclear war in a matter of months. And so I was correct in my analysis, they do<\/em> follow their doctrine consistently, for those that question, they do<\/em> follow the Doctrine of Three Worlds<\/a> consistently, and they sharply still attack USA\u2019s uh, superpower influence. USA imperialism in Korea and Africa were both attacked. In fact, the\u2013 the hardest<\/em> attack today from Radio Peking was reserved for USA, not the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Speedy transition of power to Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front. Smith begins to think of conference of all parties, because he sees he\u2019s lost, but he will not disband his secret police. So the talks can continue, said Moscow. This is taken as a show of solidarity of Western imperialism, knowing that he\u2019ll be backed up by his racist\u2013 in his racist and Gestapo-like state administration by USA and\u2013 in her imperialist allies. USA, you know, sent thousands of mercenaries in. It\u2019s also reported the only thing that\u2019s upholding\u2013 able to uphold the white government in Rhodesia against its black and Indian population is what\u2013 16,000 troops, additional white troops from the Union of South Africa, 21,000 mercenaries from the United States and Britain supplying the most. 37,000 all told. And they still can\u2019t hold out. They want talks. That shows you how fighting and brave the Zimbabwean people of all colors, Indian and black, all<\/em> of them are combined, and it gives absolute proof that Zimbabwe controls 97 percent of the country.<\/p>\n

South African Star<\/em> reports that the United States has been smuggling in\u2013 and this paper was immediately put on notice, a white paper was put on notice to cease printing tomorrow. It br\u2013 it brought out that the Soviet Union has brought in the last month one\u2013 eleven and a half million dollars of weapons, of its weapons. They suggest, said the Johannesburg Star<\/em>, (pause) that they have indeed brought in the neutron bomb if needed for emergency, and as I said, it\u2019s under USA control. They have it under USA management, but the neutron bomb is<\/em> already there in Rhodesia and [South] Africa, just in case they can\u2019t get a settlement.<\/p>\n

Terrible. Horrifying. God, the news makes you horrified every time you think about it.<\/p>\n

The cooperations\u2013 how they get this eleven and a half million dollars in to places uh, like uh, Zimbabwe was by the fact that the government\u2013 the US government works hand in glove with the big multi-national corporations, the 6000 that make\u2013 bleed profit from the people that practically without blood to\u2013 to even stand on their feet, they\u2019re so hungry and impoverished. How they do it is they\u2019ve channeled the money through the international corporations, and then the international corporations get the weapons, and it doesn\u2019t look like direct government involvement. But it\u2019s your tax dollars, none the less. That\u2019s where it came from, it was the tax subsizidation through the CIA. That\u2019s how they get by with that. The CIA doesn\u2019t have to give its budget to anyone. The CIA is not even responsible to the president of the United States. Who is it responsible to, and then not fully? Senator [John] Stennis. Remember him? The head of the Armed Services Committee. Do you know where our troubles started? When we caught Senator Stennis sending two Air Force officers [Thomas Dawsey, Leon Joly] out\u2013 undoubtedly to do harm to the black mayor of Mississi\u2013 of Mississippi, the beautiful pro-Chinese black mayor, Unita May Blackwell Wright. Do you remember her? Well, we found out who did it, and we got the documentation through the San Francisco district attorney [Joseph Freitas] and then\u2013 through others who did an investigation in uh, Kessler Fo\u2013 Air Force Base in Mississippi, where these two chaps live. We have their name and address, and found out they were high-ranking officers, one a colonel, one a major, I think. High-ranking officers that were supposed to be confined to Air Force duty, but they were on spy<\/em> work on that Sunday. They rented their (unintelligible name) rental car from Sacramento. You<\/em> remember that. So I\u2019m sure you know how government money can get to multinationals, and how Senator Stennis cooperates with conspirators, so he would gladly go with any CIA misuse of money, for clogert\u2013 cloak-and-dagger operations. They could sense\u2013 Senator Stennis, Ku Klux Klan, racist, he\u2019s always been for state\u2019s rights, he\u2019s never been progressive in any field. Anyway, as I said, 16 thou sou\u2013 thousand South African troops now are in Rhodesia, and if something not done quickly, they\u2019ll be pulverized<\/em>, said Radio Moscow. Said whatever USA and England has in mind, they better get it done, because Ian Smith will be taken care of by the presence of a united<\/em> front, the Patriotic Front, and now it looks like ZANU may be joining in with them, that Bishop [Abel] Muzorewa can\u2019t\u2013 Yeah, he was quite an Uncle Tom, head of the Methodist churches, but he\u2019s lost faith and is not taking much active support in Ian Smith\u2019s government these days. Even though he\u2019s a strong anti-communist, there\u2019s\u2013 there\u2019s speculation he may be even negotiating at this uh, moment in time with the Zimbabwean Patriotic\u2013 Patriotic Front.<\/p>\n

Americans worried. Republican Party made a strong registration of\u2013 of outrage today that Carter\u2019s getting ready to send\u2013 Of all places, Republicans are fussing about, this is always typical, right after a war, you get liberals who try to look more conservative than the Republicans. They have to prove themselves as being reactionary. Well, there\u2019s a number of people, number of black\u2013 a number of uh\u2013 not black, unfortunately. Number of\u2013 of Republican congressmen legislators who are worried and protest Carter\u2019s plans. They say Carter has plans to send troops to the Middle East, just after the\u2013 the\u2013 the uh, summit conference he\u2019s going to have in Camp David with Prime Minister Begin of Egypt and\u2013 of Israel, rather, and Prime Minister [Anwar] Sadat of\u2013 of Egypt.<\/p>\n

Czechoslovakia. Are prepar\u2013 They\u2019re preparing courses in uh, all levels of their schooling for children to learn a\u2013 a trade \u2013 that\u2019s an ally of the Soviet Union \u2013 to learn a trade, socialist Czechoslovakia, to start learning a trade, even in nursery level, to do something with their hands. They\u2019re had 63 percent increase in industrial growth in the last five years in Czechoslovakia, 68 percent decrease overall with salary increases in the cost of living for the average Czechoslovakian. I don\u2019t even know how USA can ever quote these statistics \u2013 and they do \u2013 I\u2013 uh, without\u2013 obviously everybody can see that\u2013 that capitalism doesn\u2019t work for the ordinary man.<\/p>\n

(unintelligible referral to Hua Kuo-fenj, chairman of Chinese Communist Party) China, from China, is visiting in Rumania also, to firm up some of their trade agreements. Chinese prime minister said in Bucharest today also \u2013 Radio Moscow admits this \u2013 that nuclear war is inevitable. He called on the Soviet Union to come back to her\u2013 the former stances that they had had during the period of Josef Stalin and uh, renew the world\u2019s faith in communism. China\u2019s still got an axe to grind over Stalin, it\u2019s quite obvious.<\/p>\n

I gave you the Soviet wage increase, that\u2019s going to be in the next six months, seven percent, with no cost of living increase. I mean, no cost in living. There\u2019ll be no inflation, no rises in prices.<\/p>\n

Apartheid. World conference in Geneva. A progressive body of the world called the shame of the century, USA racism. Today, they labelled the shame of the century, USA racism. And Rhodesia and Zimbabwe, I mean that has backed up the Ian Smith government of Rhodesia that\u2019s backed up by white, racist and corporations in Uni\u2013 United uh, States.<\/p>\n

Arms used against\u2013 They also voted that arms should be used immediately against oppressed peoples or\u2013 I mean, to help free oppressed peoples from their oppressor. Not only in South Africa but \u2013 this is a strange thing \u2013 21\u2013 121 nations of the World Conference on Racism voted to back armed struggle \u2013 did you hear that? \u2013 voted to back armed struggle, 121 nations in the World Conference against Racism. Anyplace people are not liberated, they said, including United States of America. (Pause) They struck out heavily at USA\u2019s political imprisonment against Ben Chavis, who has 500 years in the federal penitentiary, a black leader who was falsely framed for burning an empty garage, the witnesses all later admitted they had been uh, pressured and even tortured into giving false information. John Harris and the Harris\u2013 Harrises, there are two Harrises, one\u2019s a black who faces the life\u2013 he faces\u2013 uh, his life will be taken from him by the state in the matter of just a few weeks, if something\u2019s not done. They also indicted, Radio Moscow did, Great Britain for its strong racial prejudices that they\u2019re taking even in government. Their stand that they will remove all people of color under Margaret Thatcher, and uh, even now, the Labor Government says that there\u2019ll be no people of color allowed to immigrate.<\/p>\n

US and Israel boycott convention, is indicted in the sharpest terms by the rest of the world\u2019s nations.<\/p>\n

August 19 is the anniversary of the Vietnam Revolution. Uprising in 1949 that brought back unity in Vietnam, a socialist revolution under Ho Chi Minh, they organized effectively and drove the Japanese out, without USA help. And German fascism began April 1945, which got rid of the German working class people, minorities and Jews, and Russia was saying that they felt a foreboding anti-Semitism and racism developing again in the capitalist world. Radio Moscow devoted much of its time today about concern for bigotry against Jews, which\u2013 that impressed me. They were afraid of what the capitalist world was headed for was another Jewish genocide, as well as genocide for people of color, which we long since expect that.<\/p>\n

Angola rejects colonialism, a consistent stand against the old colon\u2013 colonialist. Moscow says the USA and her imperialist lackeys of NATO are outraged that uh, relations have normal\u2013 normalized between Angola and Zaire.<\/p>\n

Great success for foreign policy on the part of the Peoples Republic of Mongolia. I mean, the Peoples Republic of the Congo. That\u2019s why the Peoples Republic of the Congo was probably attempted to be overthrown a couple of days ago, or a few days ago, by the CIA.<\/p>\n

Angola announces its solidarity with the rest of the world, the socialist world, seeking liberation. Important impact on racism in South Africa, Angola has, because it is a strong and successful state. They\u2019ve eliminated poverty and illiteracy. It has a united people such as\u2013 also does Mozambique, and thus, says Radio Moscow, the tide of liberation of black Africa and Indian people of color in Africa will soon take place.<\/p>\n

Soviet women\u2013 over half of Soviet women prefer to be professional people or working mothers. They can work in every industry, co-op, farm. There\u2019s a nursery school in every community that will take care of their children work\u2013 during the workday or during the night, for them to have vacation periods or going\u2013 going away for seminars. The countryside, parents visit on weekends, they have a lovely campgrounds and lovely falls and streams where they can swim or fish. They read and count and show their parents what they\u2019ve done. They show all the remarkable things they\u2019ve achieved over the weekend. All have regular health check-ups. Some people here will gripe because their child is in communal care just a little while. Moscow does the same with their children, and they\u2019re 50, nearly 60 years old in the socialist revolution. Nurseries are teaching children at three years of age to read well and count well.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s nice. Black and white brother arm-in-arm going by. Beautiful. That\u2019s what makes Jonestown beautiful.<\/p>\n

Even working mothers prefer that their mothers\u2013 their children\u2013 non-working mothers, rather, prefer that their children be in the nursery schools for five days because of the tremendous education and the beauty that they get from a communal program. You parents should feel grateful for our communal programs, because a child of a communal life grows up healthier and doesn\u2019t have any tendencies to violence, as best people can determine, they\u2019re much more peace-loving and cooperative in their personalities. I don\u2019t mean submissively so or passively so, but they are much more cooperative.<\/p>\n

That ends the Moscow news, and you can replay under the library all the\u2013 early new, and this today, there\u2019s a lot of it, a lot of it, I\u2019m afraid. But know Executive Action<\/em>, everyone, know that.<\/p>\n

I love you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
