Jones: <\/strong>Those who did not pass the last test have only one more class. That will be tonight. There\u2019s also probably a teacher\u2019s class in preparation for tomorrow<\/em> night.<\/p>\n

There are Hollywood movies. I\u2019ll interpret the first. As the radio news builds up, someone can be responsible for the second. I choose to interpret For Whom the Bell Tolls<\/em>. It was writ\u2013 written by [Ernest] Hemingway, one of the most famous novels in the world, and a favorite of Fidel Castro. It was about the Spanish Civil War, in which the democratic government of Spain was overthrown with USA backing by Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler interfered with the due process and overthrew the established government of Spain, a sort of social democracy, almost socialism, was called the republican government. But it was<\/em> a democratic government. USA, directly its aid through its military-industrial cartilus, joint combine with Adolf Hitler, bombarded the Spanish people, and they fought bravely. Some of our socialist loved ones went across the sea. Many members of the trade union[s] in those days, Communist Party, the Socialist Party, all went into Spain. And of course, it has some of the best actors in Hollywood in it. So it will begin to be a first movie, which I\u2019ll interpret, For Whom the Bell Tolls<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I think those that have that last night of class, I\u2019ll give them the break, that they can be in this movie, in lieu of their last night of the five, \u2018cause they didn\u2019t get a full fifth class. They can go to this movie and take down notes. Later someone will name the list, the 76 that did not pass the last test.<\/p>\n

Be sure to take note of the news now. Remember, for tomorrow night, all of you be studying last night\u2019s tape. The news testing will be exactly<\/em> over that area that I covered at considerable pain. So I do hope that you will listen to the news. I did not come on this morning, though I was up all night, because I thought you would have at least a day that you could go back and study some of that<\/em>. All need to review last night\u2019s tape and to know Parallax View<\/em>. I will be calling\u2013 or showing A<\/em> Parallax View <\/em>either tomorrow or the next day for those who have not seen it, and I request if they\u2019ve had not me\u2013 my interview or interpretation of it. I request that all departments work around the schedule.<\/p>\n

Moscow. Geneva racism, world conference. Backed by United Nations. Now 117 nations in attendance. They demand resolute measures to ban the apartheid government of South Africa and Rhodesia. In a vast majority vote that only lacked three of being a full 117 participation, they declared South Africa, Rhodesia and Israeli racism as the greatest threats to world peace. [The] Chairman of the United Nations, Leslie Harriman, condemns USA\u2019s practice of racism. This brought sharp criticism from President [Jimmy] Carter. As you know, USA openly, flauntingly shows what it is, because it banned its delegate, refused to participate in the World Geneva Conference Against Racism sponsored by the United Nation[s]. Only two countries that were invited that did not attend, and refused to be represented, and to discuss their racist policies. That was USA and Zionist Israel.<\/p>\n

Rhodesia. Members of the Ian Smith white regime police, backed by the mercenaries that\u2019ve been sent in by USA and trained by our tax dollars on our soil in New Mexico, numbering upwards now of 17,000, fired on striking miners. The number[s] killed are incalculale [incalculable] at this moment, as well as the number wounded. Five was immediately killed\u2013 five were immediately killed in the first strafing. They did not even give them notice. It was a legal strike by the laws of even the constitution, but the constitution has been suspended under the interim regime, and supposedly a more broad constitution was affected, but it certainly did not stop Rhodesia from showing its true<\/em> colors, and USA. The mine is owned by a South African racist regime\u2013 racist corporation that also has a great deal of stock owned by the rich ruling class in USA. Also a\u2013 a\u2013 a brawl, and a disturbance, a rebellion broke out in Port Elizabeth, as people in Rhodesia continue to struggle for their liberty.<\/p>\n

It was only in the falling days of Rhodesia\u2019s illegal regime under Ian Smith that USA lifted its ban on shipment on aid and military assistance, in both houses of our US Congress. There is no way USA can possibly hide what it is anymore.<\/p>\n

Kubalasa. Political prisoners in South Africa. More tortured today, and were tortured be\u2013 before being thrown out a fifth-floor window. [Nelson] Mandela, a moderate human right advocate in Union of South Africa, is on trial for disobeying rules while living in exile. He was in permanent exile, unable to communicate with anyone for the rest of his life. He was\u2013 that means prisonment for life. But he gave an opinion \u2013 just an opinion \u2013 to someone. Now he is on trial, which could mean his death, as an act of treason. That<\/em> is the government of which one billion of our tax dollars went this year, 447 million dollars just a few weeks ago, of our<\/em> tax dollars, when there\u2019s not money for jobs, there\u2019s no money for health and welfare, there\u2019s no assistance for the poor, no legal defense, our prisons are overcrowded in USA, and yet they have money to uphold uh, fascist white racist regimes, such as the Union of South Africa, that torture people, like this in Kubalasa, South Africa, and then throw<\/em> seven of them\u2013 seven them out\u2013\u00a0out of a fifth-floor window, witnessed by all the public below.<\/p>\n

Shots at a house of a person\u2013 shot through the house of a person who was against apartheid, a white influential family. There have been 16 such incidents this day, said Radio Moscow. Rhodesia and Union of South Africa are getting increasingly cocky, as USA openly flaunts human decency and hypocritically talks of human rights, while backing these vicious\u2013 goddamnably vicious racist regimes.<\/p>\n

In the hearings on the death of Martin Luther King, in the circus commission before the House of Representatives on Assassinations. (Pause) Well, James [Earl] Ray came in to be heard. However, before he came in, he had been beaten severely in the prison with rubber hoses. The House committee even had to admit. They noted his head wounds, 24 bow\u2013 hours before he was to testify. They had to carry him in. Now he is too sick to testify, and was taken by authorities back to the prison. This is USA. It\u2019s getting mighty close now, friends. We\u2019ve got<\/em> to work hard. James Earl Ray. For years, the press has called him the lone assassin of Martin Luther King. He was so beaten\u2013\u00a0beaten so badly by rubber hoses, and even BBC refers to it, but not in depth as Moscow. The head wounds were deep. He was unable to testify. It is feared that he may go into coma. Convenient, isn\u2019t it? Twenty-fours hours before he was to testify, he gave a name and said he could point directly to United States government involvement with the assassination of Martin Luther King. Oh, oh, oh. Now where are all of you sleepyheads that love USA? Wake up all those seniors that never want to face the hell.<\/p>\n

Martin Luther King, advocate of peace, got the other cheek turned a thousand times, roll over, let the white man kick you, nonviolent. They wouldn\u2019t even let him be nonviolent. Not even a black man on TV saying live in peace, I have a dream, that the son of a Georgian plantation owner\u2019s going to sit down with the son of the Georgian slave. Yes, he had a dream. All he ever talked about was a dream. But one\u2013 one moment in Memphis, he gave his opinion about Vietnam. Strangely enough that USA was pouring napalm bombs, chemicals, to kill colored people in Vietnam. Within days, he was murdered. And here the only man that can testify about it. There you are. What\u2019re you going to do with that evidence, you that want to go to Kansas and Memphis and Georgia? Where are all you people now? What about it?<\/p>\n

The one black man that talked about peace, his murderer, they said, was James Earl Ray, but obviously, he\u2019s not the only one, because he was beaten nearly to death today, and now I see later notes, he is now in coma. He is now in coma, unable to testify before the House Commission on Assassination of leading dignitaries, such as Martin Luther King.<\/p>\n

Well, if they keep on probing, you\u2019ll see the military in the streets. They\u2019re getting might nervous when they kill off a man, because the hearing was in closed session anyway. They coulda doctored it up, but somebody\u2019s getting might nervous. The ruling class is about to be found out. They think at least they oughta trust their congressman better. They been good little obedient servants, after all. They\u2019ve send money over to the Union of South Africa and Rhodesia to kill our black brothers and sisters. But that doesn\u2019t bother some of you out there. You never get bothered about that. Rhodesia, that\u2019s too far away. What about Martin Luther King? What about James Earl Ray being beaten be\u2013\u00a0practically to death, no place on his body, even said BBC, that didn\u2019t have a mark. But about a six-inch wide gash on his head, to keep him from testifying about who killed Martin Luther King? What about that, good black Uncle Toms and Aunt Janes, the few we have left? Talk about it, dear seniors, the brave in heart here, the ones that\u2019re so strong.<\/p>\n

Got a report of some of our seniors out, took on some of our enemies right on the street, cussed them out right on the street, dared them, defied them, even observe our enemies, see them getting together with elements of the police. That\u2019s what some of the seniors are doing back there. They\u2019ve had to work out some last-minute details. Some of these letters from our seniors who want to get here would make you cry<\/em>. (Sarcastic tone) But they\u2019re doing your\u2013 their<\/em> job, while some of you are thinkin\u2019 about your grandchildren, your Aunt Susie, and your kids. What you\u2013 Why\u2013 What\u2019re your kids doing today? Why aren\u2019t they out on the streets about this? Why is no black America roaming up and down the streets protesting what the hell\u2019s been done here, that they\u2019re hiding the murderer that Mar\u2013 Martin Luther King, the only black leader that was ever nationwide renowned since Marcus Garvey, the only one that had national attention. Here James Earl Ray said, just two hours before his beating, he could connect it with the anti-Castro Cubans, the Mafia, the CIA, and the FBI and people up in the government. But he wasn\u2019t going to be able to say anymore, \u2018til he got into the hearing. (Moderates) Well, he probably won\u2019t get to say anything now. You remember when they let him loose in the prison, from that maximum security cell? Some of you thought that was just an accident. It was just an accident he didn\u2019t get killed, that a local group of people found him before the FBI could murder him. Where\u2019s your head<\/em>, you that want to look back to Sodom and Gomorrah? Where is your mind<\/em>, your conscience<\/em>, and your sensitivity?<\/p>\n

Brazzaville, C\u2013\u00a0Congo. The Peoples Republic of the Congo. The coup by the military. Witnesses have been indicted. Direct connections with the CIA in the United States. Oh yes, my friends, what about it?<\/p>\n

Today, government of Guyana, uh, level\u2013 high-level meeting with one of the ministers of the cabinet who\u2019s been kind to us. Minister [Vibert] Mingo, Home Affairs, Immigration, informed us that the whole damn Lutheran Church here is in the CIA, and that Tydeman, the man that we knew about\u2013 I<\/em> knew about him long ago. He\u2019s leaving\u2013 He\u2013 He\u2019s leaving, and he won\u2019t get back in the country, to try to break its hold on this country. They\u2019re on the job at least trying to resist CIA. They told us that, of course, in courtesy, in privacy. That\u2019s<\/em> what the CIA is. Tried to murder a whole black beautiful nation. Peoples Republic of the Congo. We\u2019re glad that the head of the CIA they caught today in the church, he\u2019s going to go out of this country, and he thinks he\u2019s gonna get back in, but they said he won\u2019t get back in. He\u2019s the head of the Lutherans, has the largest Lutheran Church, white man, but without him, they\u2019ll be dead, because he was their more colorful<\/em> clown. He also tried to whitemail<\/a> us<\/em>. Some of you remember. And I fortunately had an upper hand of the deck on him<\/em>. He backed off mighty quick.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the plot of the reactionaries closely linked with the imperialist plans, direct links with the CIA have been brought out in the hearing today. CIA wouldn\u2019t even let them celebrate day of peace and holiday and festivities, for the fifteenth anniversary of a true socialist revolution, the Peoples Republic of Congo. They had to try to overthrow it on that day, kill several of their good leaders, drop in mercenaries. But it failed<\/em>, and finally US imperialism and all of its lackeys, all the monopoly capitalists fascist ruling class will die<\/em>. That\u2019s one satisfaction, and I with the last breath of my being do pledge that I will use my body on the altar of sacrifice to reach out for some of those class enemies of the people.<\/p>\n

Augustin\u2013 Agostinho Neto is visiting Zaire. Much to the upset of the USA, Zaire and Angola continue to draw closer and closer together. They thought they had predicted Mobutu [Sese Seko] to be carefully\u2013 carefully<\/em> placed in the right wing circles, the rich right wing strong-arm dictator, but he got tired. He remembered the white man enough, you know, in the Congo that he wouldn\u2019t let Christianity honor their saints days and Christmas. He remembered what the white man had done to his people, and the USA cost him just a little too much, give him less than his price for his own minerals, even though he is in [could be \u201cisn\u2019t\u201d] a representative democracy. He just doesn\u2019t like what the Man\u2019s done to him and his people in the past. Moscow praises it as a heralding breakthrough, the new negotiations of peace and friendship between Angola and Zaire. The building of a railway, so that Zaire can get world prices. It causes the capitalists to tremble<\/em>, says Radio Moscow, because Zaire was one of the richest spots in the world.<\/p>\n

Do you realize that Africa is so big that United States of America will only fit in the northwest corner of the Sahara? That\u2019s that great black country of our heritage. All<\/em> of us. Yes, that\u2019s where the roots of civilization came. The first man, while the rest of the world was under ice, in Timbuktu, they were doing eye<\/em> surgeries, yes, removing cataracts, putting in false teeth plates, inoculating against smallpox. Great civilization. Gonna be the great one again, too. That\u2019s why you don\u2019t have to worry in this continent. This continent was raped by capitalism \u2013\u00ad I mean, the predecessors of capitalism \u2013 200 years ago. Enough silver was taken out of uh, one Peruvian mine. That\u2019s why USA is rich. You say, why is it that USA\u2019s rich? I heard one black sister say, well, why did they do<\/em> so well, if they weren\u2019t right? Well, how does this<\/em> fit you? In Peru alone, out of one mine, the European whites and US white colonialists pulled out enough silver to build a bridge from this continent all the way to Spain made out of silver<\/em>. I wouldn\u2019t think you\u2019d brag on what the white man\u2019s done in USA. He hasn\u2019t done very much<\/em>, when he stole that much out of one mine, that he could build a whole bridge that would span the Atlantic Ocean in silver<\/em>\u2013 Interesting thought that Sarah [Harriet Sarah Tropp] brought up. My, my, my. I<\/em> wouldn\u2018t brag about what USA can do. That\u2013 they oughta done a lot better than that. There oughtn\u2019t to be any poverty at all<\/em> in capitalist Europe or in USA. They ought to have streets aligned [lined] with silver and gold<\/em>. One mine in Peru, darlings. They raped<\/em> this continent.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re safe here, there\u2019s nothing here they want. We\u2019re not particularly happy, I\u2019d like to fight them eyeball to eyeball. But they\u2019re not going to be invading here, because Africa is teeming<\/em>, it\u2019s just beaming<\/em> with riches. White man\u2019s a little coward, you know. (Pause) He\u2019s always been a little bit of afraid of cannibals, the old myths. And like Pat Richartz, we\u2019ve got to be sure that that gets into our report, the uh, chief investigator of our attorney [Charles Garry], professional woman, lawyer. Her husband wouldn\u2019t let her bring her troubled child that was on dope here, because of headhunters<\/em>. Said there\u2019s headhunters in this part of the world. Cannibals. Well, you know better. We<\/em> know better. And that\u2019s what kept the white man out of Africa. He\u2019d\u2013 He\u2019d steal a few slaves on the coastal regions and where it was safe, but he\u2019s been afraid of that jungle<\/em>. And we\u2019re fortunate. There\u2019s some diseases over there that the Man don\u2019t know how to deal<\/em> with. Monkey fever that wipes out white man. He can\u2019t deal<\/em> with some of those diseases. The tse-tse fly. There\u2019s stuff over there that makes his balls get so big, goes clear down to his heels<\/em>. Man don\u2019t like that big a ball, it kinda interferes with his walkin\u2019. (Pause) Oh, all kinds of little things over there. A snake that can go about s\u2013 oh, about the speed of a fast automobile, and one bite, and your ass is dead<\/em>. White man don\u2019t like that shit. So that\u2019s why he left Africa as the (draws out word) last of the places to drain. But too late<\/em>, boy. Too late, white boy. Too late, capitalism. They got their (draws out word) shit together over there, our black brothers and sisters. You can\u2019t murder them down (unintelligible word). You ain\u2019t got enough guns<\/em>. You ain\u2019t got enough men<\/em>, honey. Black men there will be free. That\u2019s why they didn\u2019t want us to know who we were, when they got a continent over there that they wanted to exploit. There\u2019s a great history of peace, they had a great civilization in Timbuktu and other places, before ever any other human being was even seen, everybody else was living under glaciers, the Ice Age, and the United States only going to fit in the Sahara, one part of the Sahara Desert. That\u2019s how big that great continent is. It\u2019s so big, that they won\u2019t even show it at its full size on the world maps, because it threatens the hell out of \u2018em. And Zaire had so much, honey. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Cobalt, uranium. Ninety percent of the cobalt that the USA need\u2013 90% of the world\u2019s cobalt, 85% of the uranium. They\u2019re in trouble, and aren\u2019t you glad. I\u2019m glad the capitalist are in trouble. We\u2019re not against the American people. They\u2019re working<\/em> class. They only realize that niggers, just like us.<\/a> I sure don\u2019t like capitalism, though. I don\u2019t know about you.<\/p>\n

All African trade unions setting up parties for the working class, for trade union solidarity<\/em> and independence throughout Africa. It is being funded by the Organization of African Unity, which is moving increasingly more progressive. You know it represented some 50 states that recently met for a African summit conference in Khartoum, Sudan.<\/p>\n

Geneva Conference that US banned again calls for world disarmament immediately before the hell of nuclear war breaks out. Said immediate concrete steps must be taken to control the development of the neutron bomb<\/a>. They call it a barbarious [barbarous] act on the part of USA to think of building such a bomb that destroys human li\u2013 and all animal life and saves only property for the rich. Socialist countries say they do not<\/em> wish to build the bomb. They strongly oppose the developments of the neutron bomb, but they will be forced<\/em> to build their own kind of technology, which includes the neutron bombs, and even more\u2013 much more frightening types, if USA contiders\u2013 continues with its madness.<\/p>\n

[Cyrus] Vance told Senate, Israel will not be penalized from getting weapons. Secretary of State Vance, upholding good ol\u2019 Zionist, fascist Israel. Says that Zionism will not be penalized from getting weapons from US, based on their reactions of racism\u2013 racist statements that they made. Some Zionist made some terribly racist statements at the conference, and they will not be penalized, said US Secretary of State Vance. (Pause) Why should they? The attorney general [Griffin Bell] appointed by the president belongs to Ku Klux Klan, the FBI director, William Webster, just appointed, belongs to the Ku Klux Klan, I mean, four racist clubs and sexist clubs, and the Congress didn\u2019t even require him, or the president, to give up his membership in them. Why should you indict anybody for racism, when probably\u2013 We might\u2013 might as well remember\u2013 Do you remember when Carter, driving into his home, poor old black man down the road, on the road, had a right to his property, been there 40-some years, but they had to tear it all down. Make him move to the city, and didn\u2019t even give him any money to indemnify [compensate] him for all the years he\u2019d put in it. Why? Because they didn\u2019t want nobody to see it on the road as they drove, and Mr. Carter and his family drove in and out of Plainsville [Plains]. My, my, my. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Five point six million new unemployed flood the markets of Western Europe. Radio Moscow said capitalism is definitely failing. Unrest grows at every country. Strikes in all major sectors of the six major European top capitalist nations of the Common Market. Forty-two percent of the women of Western Europe are unemployed, who want work. Thirty-six percent of those between 18 and 36 are unemployed in Western Europe, in white Western Europe, capitalist Europe, who want employment.<\/p>\n

Hanoi talks with China, trying to ease that trouble spot that could break out in war, but Moscow reports no progress.<\/p>\n

USSR medical team has left for Ethiopia, at the request of the Ethiopian people, to implement them in fighting the geophysical war that has caused such a drought where a million people in that region and in Chad face death by starvation. The Soviet Red Cross has sent tens of thousands of tons of food and medical supplies. It feels, said the medical society of the Soviet Union, that they can cut this figure of death at least in half in the next three months. Who else is sending aid? Nobody.<\/p>\n

Space mission, Salud [Soyuz]. Three months in space thus far, world-breaking record. No physical effects on blood circulation now, as Soviets have developed new types of spacecraft suits and other areas of technology that are on uh, the confidential side, secret side. Their platform as big as a three-city block<\/em> that they have in mind up there, and they can do things with heat, energy, infra-ray, you know, they can send down the sun<\/em>, they can sen (short laugh)\u2013 sense in, hone in a missile, or whatever they want to, laser beam on anything that draws up heat<\/em>. That\u2019s humane. That\u2019ll pick out the factories, instead of the residential sectors like USA who dropped bombs and killed the poor people of Dresden, Germany and Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.<\/p>\n

USSR. A program of social and economic development, 5.1% expansion in the economy, in gross output, this point, in the last four months. Three and a half percent increase in farmers\u2019 income in the last three months. Grain, there\u2019s going to be a surplus, so that they can have long-term contracts with the government and other developing Third World needy nations.<\/p>\n

CIA seeding of the weather, their geophysical warfare, apparently has backfired on them, as the hottest temperatures ever recorded in history continue to plague sectors of USA. Temperatures up to 120, and nearly 130 degrees. Droughts, until the earth has caked open in Oklahoma and parts of Texas, even after the flash floods that killed many, many dozens.<\/p>\n

Twenty thousand foreign students are being accepted for the September term, in addition to the Third World black and brown people of color that were already in Soviet universities. Twenty thousand more. Paid for totally, their medical, their housing, and even entertainment by the Soviet people. One hundred thousand students in addition will be trained abroad by the Soviet Union this year, in colleges, seminars, training centers, along with medical teams like in Ethiopia that are being set up at this very present time.<\/p>\n

Bravo to socialism. With all of its problems, and problems they are, problems of nationalism that unfortunately breaks our heart to see divisiveness between China and USSR, and maybe it\u2019s not all divisiveness, maybe it\u2019s some pragmatism to trick US capitalism so that the horrible nuclear war will get over with. But anyway, we know nationalism is a problem. That\u2019s why nuclear war, that will lay USA in dust, make it a wasteland, a desert, as Dr. Daniel Ellsberg said, that\u2019s why we\u2019ve got to work to get our people out, think of ways of saving money and making money. (Emphatic) We are not in trouble. Some who fear we can\u2019t make it, we will<\/em> make it. Don\u2019t you worry one little bit, we will<\/em> make it. But we\u2019ve got to all pull together. (Pause)<\/p>\n

[Leonid] Brezhnev, head of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, statement to the World Conference against Racism that USA boycotted in Geneva, said before 1917, USSR was nothing but a prison. It was a matter of national policy. All minorities were held down, the white Russians maintained the domination. Now USSR, made up of a hundred national groups and ethnic and racial groups, their policies reflect absolute abolition of racism. Even Finland and Sweden praised them for this. The Soviet government\u2019s international task of ridding colonialism and racism. Nigeria, Guinea, has been one place that they\u2019ve been able to help eliminate racism, to their aid. Well, that\u2019s good to find out. Nigeria, oil-rich Nigeria. Must be fairly close<\/em> to the USSR. The USSR conference is giv\u2013 getting ready, of all their allies, on finding ways that amongst their own alliance, they can rid apartheid as they\u2019ve lost faith in many sectors of the United Nations to be able to carry out the will of the people. Though they have great respect for Secretary [Kurt] Waldheim, who heads the United Nations, United States can block<\/em> everything in the Security Council by a veto.<\/p>\n

The Soviet Union calls on the abolition of the Rhodesian white racist regime of Ian Smith, the total abolition of the Union of South Africa\u2019s white government. This is stepping up their demands. Formerly they had asked only for the abolition of apartheid. Now they\u2019re demanding immediately<\/em> South Africa to get out of Namibia. These resolutions went out by communiqu\u00e9 and Soviet emissaries to the various governments of the world just an hour ago. They demand full release of civil rights activist in USA. They say that USA is now admittedly by the black lawyer\u2019s conference, to be filled with millions of political prisoners. They charge USA with hypocrisy for talking about four of their people. Said we must be doing a good job<\/em>, when you can only pick out four people in USSR who were convicted of crimes, and who are white<\/em>, and then claim that we are racist, and only two<\/em> of them were Jews. So, USA gets a blistering<\/em> indictment. It would take me 15 minutes to give you all of Brezhnev\u2019s speech<\/em>, but he\u2019s now calling for the eradication of the governments of Rhodesia, the elimination immediately of all torture against civil rights activists, and promising\u2013 USSR is promising<\/em> Africa that they will intervene as quickly<\/em> as possible to see that people are not thrown out of fifth-floor windows and seventh-floor windows and continue to be hounded and tortured night and day.<\/p>\n

Mangela, copper mines, Rhodesia. Salisbury authorities shoot down more in those copper mines. Five\u2013\u00a0five killed there, seven wounded. More may be killed and wounded. The late news has not brought it in. All because they didn\u2019t strike, they just merely made a resolution amongst the workers, demanding a pay increase and improved working conditions, where they die of an average age of 31 years of age. The miner who begins at 12 lives to be 31, who dies of dust, black lung disease\u2013 white<\/em> lung disease, we should call it<\/a>. Anyway. What are they getting paid? You don\u2019t really want to hear. A dollar twenty-one cents a day. That\u2019s how US upholds its riches. That\u2019s how you thought<\/em> you had prosperity. You were living off the blood of our black brothers in Africa, our brothers and co\u2013 sisters of color in Southeast Asia and Indonesia and the Philippines, and all the place else that we have colonial outpost for US bastion of the ruling class. Sure, they throwed you out a little handout like the dog gets a bone, but you had to do it at such a price. You watch TV at such a price. You had your can of beer and your little hamburger at such<\/em> a price. You were killing black brothers who can\u2019t even wa\u2013 sign a wage demand for an increase from a dollar twenty-one cents a day, for the most dangerous work in the world in Africa? What is it? Dangerous? Yeah. Twelve years of age they start, 31 years of age they\u2019re dead, plus<\/em> twenty percent end up crippled or dead from accidents in the mines. Now do you feel good about all the things you enjoyed in USA? Your taxpayers, your dollars went over there to help put in that white army that\u2019s now shooting<\/em> on them, because they just merely signed a petition.<\/p>\n

Congo\u2019s abortive coup, the whole socialist world is praising the brave and strong reaction of the peace-loving Republic of the Congo that had a very understaffed army, but won\u2019t be that way in the future. They had a very peaceful, pacifist form of socialist democracy. They found the CIA plans. The plans were laid out for the world to see. I\u2019m sure USA will not see any of it. They were to kill every principal Marxist leader, their families and their children, every leader of the trade union movement, every leader in the government, their wife, their children and family, were to be wiped out<\/em>. That was the CIA plan that has been exposed by the Peoples Republic of the Congo that stopped the abortive coup by the mercenaries that were sent in by USA and her imperialist lackeys. (Pause) The Soviet Union and even China sent praises to the Congolese people for their valiance and bravery in the midst of such threat. (Pause) The president urged Congolese to keep on working, and will have solidarity with all socialist countries. Good to know that there, USSR and China are both giving aid.<\/p>\n

USSR ecology. The (unintelligible word) European rivers to the arid so\u2013 southern region is the goal of the Soviet people next year, to remove the last of deserts in the great, most large, vast nation of the world. Irrigation and drainage will reach every part of the Soviet system by the end of this year. Irrigation system means reclaim land which goes to the farms free. They will be distributed to the farmers free. Sixty\u2013si\u2013 Six\u2013 A hundred sixty-seven and a half millions acres of reclaimed land through canals already have been done in the past year. Five hundred thousand acres of irrigated land have already been achieved by the Soviet people this year. What? You think capitalism can compete with that long? No wonder they have to threaten nuclear war, and put people in jails, torture and kill off those that would testify about their infamy, like James Earl Ray today.<\/p>\n

Sierra Lo\u2013 Leone thanks the USSR for helping its stop\u2013 stave off starvation. There\u2019s public thanks. Sierra Lo\u2013 Leone \u2013 you should look it up in the almanac and give more attention to it, remind me in another day \u2013 it seems to be drawing very closely to the USSSR, the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

Benin now is a functioning country again, after its brave leader was killed in a contrived car accident at 39 years of age. The masses are supporting the new government. Soviets are sending goods and services, experts, helping them set up a university. Zaire reminds Benin to remain watchful of imperialism. (incredulous) What is this? Zaire? (laughs) Well, that\u2019s the turn of the day, I\u2019m telling you, the turn of this last few weeks. Encourages them and sends them some assistance in their goal. Benin is a totally<\/em> Marxist-Leninist state. Praises the new government for its national unity, Mobutu does of Zaire, in the face of the imperialist attempts to destroy them. They\u2019re now establishing what they call Red Saturdays, meaning Socialist Saturdays. All people come out and clean the community, and help build community resources and help develop natural reserce\u2013 resources. It\u2019s called Red Saturday. Oh, USA must be boiling in its s\u2013 own stew.<\/p>\n

The news is so much to be given at one time, but I\u2019ll continue.<\/p>\n

Caffeine. USA has had to admit that caffeine has caused thousands of birth defects in US mothers. No US mother \u2013 expectant mother \u2013\u00a0should drink coffee or tea or anything with caffeine. This must be taken immediately by our medical staff to heart. The FDA, according to BBC, had tried to keep this from the US public, but the Consumers Union, scientific association representing consumers, have now got worldwide press. There\u2019s absolute proof that caffeine has caused thousands of birth defects. Drinking of coffee and tea and caffeine pills, anything with caffeine, has caused thousands of birt\u2013 birth defects in USA mothers. Children. Their moth\u2013\u00a0the babies. The babies will be\u2013 be deformed<\/em> or handicapped. So stop it. We have had none, won\u2019t now, keep faith high, but let\u2019s stop the consumption of caffeine here, by any expectant mother.<\/p>\n

House. The Senate gave tax credits for parents of college students only by a very slim majority.<\/p>\n

End of Side 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Side 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>(unintelligible word) The Senate threatens to filibuster. A conservative bloc of Senators and right wing reactionaries threaten that they will not pass the three-year extension, thus killing the chance for women to have equal rights, because it\u2019ll take them another three years to bypass the opposition, the setbacks they\u2019ve had, Nevada recently voted them down, several states, Indiana voted down the rights of women to be equal. If they won\u2019t even let white women be equal, you know what they think of us who are black and brown, Indian, poor whites.<\/p>\n

Dissident trial ends in USSR. \u2018Course, that\u2019s Voice of America. It was again charged by the Soviet Union that a scientist is involved in the CIA. He comes up that he says he has data on how the Soviet Union have used chemicals and psychological methods to alter the personalities of those who confess. Sounds like the same lies they tell on us. (turns from microphone to cough) Said he had proof<\/em> of brainwashing techniques. That\u2019s the great capitalist phrase these days. You don\u2019t think Christian, you don\u2019t think white supremacist, you don\u2019t think that motherhood, apple pie, the American flag is the best in the world, if you believe in socialism, you\u2019re brainwashed<\/em>. But they\u2019re<\/em> the ones that are brainwashed. They can\u2019t think any further than motherhood, apple pie, Jesus Christ and the star-spangled banner. We can take on every<\/em> subject and have differing opinions and disagree, and yet agree to unite in solidarity<\/em> against the oppressor, wherever he shows his ugly head.<\/p>\n

Well, the guy, even though he\u2019s an agent, only got five years of exile in Siberia. He must live in a village with his family out of communications with any people in the scientific community so that he\u2019ll not be able to pass on any more information. The lenience in the sentence was given by the Soviet government because the information he had provided was not that important to the Soviet security.<\/p>\n

Caffeine again being the center of the news, says World Health Organization also. They had been telling USA this for two years, but the FDA and big business, coffee lobby\u2013 You know, you know big business speaks. The FDA had refused<\/em> to face the fact that tens of thousands of birth defects have been caused in Europe, Canada and United States. Said one World Health Organization medical team, the United Nations, it may be in the millions, the children that\u2019ve suffered damage from mothers using caffeine. Well, you know, it\u2019s always hard to get the truth out when big business can bend the ear of the Congress. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Well, a terrible happening. Eleven leaders of the Church of Scientology have been indicted for conspiracy to infiltrate government offices. That includes their leader, Ron L. Hubbard [L. Ron Hubbard], un\u2013 a famous fiction writer, his wife, Mary, and also nine other important leaders of each of their churches, an obvious plan to destroy the Church of Scientology. They\u2019re also charged with planting bugs in government offices in the Internal Revenue Service, they are charged with forgery<\/em> of government passes, they\u2019re charged with so many things that they would face upwards of 5000 years in jail. (unintelligible word) see, it\u2019s a Scientology church that revealed the connections of Nazis (unintelligible word) in Interpol and Customs that\u2019ve been hounding us. It\u2019s Scientology that has revealed to the world the techniques, the terrible techniques of the Internal Revenue Service, the spying that I gave you that Senator [James] Abourezk spoke of yesterday morning that you should go back and review in the news. It\u2019s Scientology that\u2019s been speaking of how Nazis have been kept secretly protected in USA by the Immigration Department, so the Nazis<\/em> have now in the USA that obviously rule<\/em> capitalist circles have fixed it so Scientology will be dead. Every<\/em> leader of its eleven remaining churches and its foreign<\/em> leader, who\u2019s had to stay abroad, and<\/em> his wife, are now indicted in combined sentences which would include \u2013 if they were\u2013 get convicted \u2013 they would get 5000 years in the federal penitentiary.<\/p>\n

Memphis Gas Light and power have been sabotaged. The whole<\/em> of Shelby County has been thrown into pitch darkness. Millions [of] people in Shelby County had to wander out as their water was turned off and their lights were turned off. The police and firemen are continuing to strike. They have been fired upon. Four police and firemen have been injured by the National Guard, showing that in the final analysis, the ruling class will shoot down its own police pigs that do their dirty work. The strike is getting more general support. It\u2019s almost becoming a general strike, said Memphis governor [Mayor Wyeth Chandler]. You remember what happened in San Francisco when they had a general strike? (Short laugh) They fired on the people, shot them down like dogs in the streets. Well, let\u2019s hope that the working class begins to realize who they are. If the police can realize they\u2019re working class, maybe somebody else here in this project that\u2019s always talking about going one place or another in USA can realize that you\u2019re a nigger, just like me.<\/p>\n

(Pause) (Sighs) There\u2019s a horrible development, that USA just openly flaunts freedom, just attacks 11 leaders, that broke into all their churches, stole<\/em> their records just a few months ago, just tore up the Los Angeles church and the Washington church of Scientology. The FBI, IRS, I think a team of a hundred men, crushed into Los Angeles. Now they have arrested them and indicted them \u2013 the ones they can catch, two are out of the country \u2013 but nine of them face these kinds of criminal charges.<\/p>\n

[Richard] Nixon trust is in question. But more news is being given about his grandbaby [Jennie Elizabeth Eisenhower], which I don\u2019t give a damn about which one it was. It\u2019s 23 inches long, if anybody\u2019s interested.<\/p>\n

Steven Heard said the indictments from the Justice Department will boomerang. The last remaining spokeperson who had to step in, said on the Voice of America \u2013 it picked him up, they said it would\u2013 the sert\u2013\u00a0Church of Scientology will be able to put on stand people who have spied on them illegally<\/em> and other dissident church groups and human rights groups, civil rights and so forth, for 28 long years. Said for 28 years, said the new head representative, being that they\u2019ve arrested all of the rest<\/em> of the heads of the Church of Scientology, said we have been spied on illegally, criminal means have been used by the FBI, the Internal Revenue, the Customs, the Treasury, for 28 years. He said we now have discovery rights. But don\u2019t get unduly encouraged. This is the Church of Scientology\u2019s posture, to always act like \u2013 whether or not you are<\/em> doing so \u2013 to act like that you are getting the upper hand. In any situation, turn around and look brave. That\u2019s good\u2013 good psychology. Their attorney Sheehan [Brown] has dropped them, because they would not tell him all of their doings, that he had told them to pay somebody off, give them whitemail, pure extortion, but the Church of Scientology did not want to pay out the money. Sheehan is a man who\u2019s given us a great deal of legal counsel. They probably shoulda listened to him, \u2018cause he said that\u2013 that man had the goods on them, and he did. He told about how they bravely resisted fascist federal government agencies intrusion<\/em> into their life. The federal government started denying them of their<\/em> rights, looting their<\/em> buildings, bugging their<\/em> buildings. But the next-to-the-top leader has become a fink for the moment. Let\u2019s see what happens to him. Watch out, he disappears. The governments use finks and then they die so conveniently.<\/p>\n

Reports of looting and firing throughout the neighborhoods in Memphis after sabotage of the West Memphis power station. Police and fireman strike has gone into the third day, in spite of court orders, telling them that they are guilty of crimes that could put them in jail for 20 years. Sabotage officially, Voice of America says, the police and firemen. They have not yet charged the conspiracy, but it was elements supporting them that\u2019ve sabotaged the West Memphis power station, throwing Shelby County into a blackout and unable to turn their faucets on to get a drop of water.<\/p>\n

Vietnam government ask for peaceful relations with the United States. US snidely on the Voice of America says it\u2019s because of difficulties with China. Snidely C\u2013 uh, the CBS documentary on Voice of America said, what\u2019s in it for us? What\u2019s the hurry about giving recognition back \u2013 (incredulous) Would you believe this? \u2013 to the gooks? Yeah, that\u2019s what I said. That\u2019s what they said. They were quoting a CBS commentary. They said what\u2013 we\u2019re going to demand that they release the people they\u2019ve got in concentration camps, 300,000\u2013 They\u2019re not concentration camps, they\u2019re 300,000 exploiters of the ruling class. Said, before we give them any aid, a recognition they got to ease up their uh, the restriction on religion. That means giving more toleration for CIA activity. They must release all of Vietnam from being a vast tiger cage. That was CBS blowing off. Vietnam said, we are not in need of your friendship at such a price. The ABC was equally hard-nose. Said, we want to know where our missing persons are. We know that they\u2019ve killed people and have listed them as missing. Another, however \u2013\u00a0NBC \u2013\u00a0said we should have diplomatic relations. It\u2019s a powerful nation, it\u2019s developed vastly in the past months. It\u2019s dangerous when you do not recognize a government. NBC says, do we tell the Russians to let their prisoners go that they convict, if we don\u2019t like it? Yes, you do, really. But he said, we don\u2019t break recognition. Have we told the dictatorship of South Korea to release its hundreds of thousands of prisoners? No, we don\u2019t. NBC said, well, we recognize those<\/em> regimes. Then they cite an example of 1865. Great Britain had supported the South and recognized the Confederacy. But in the days at the close of the war, when it was clear that the Confederacy was England\u2013 uh, going to lose, England immediately<\/em> dropped the recognition of the Confederacy and recognized the Yankees as the only duly representative government of USA. NBC said, even though we are chagrined by Communism and its dictatorial process, we must do the same with Vietnam. It is rich in minerals that we need to exploit for the world market. I don\u2019t know how these bastards co\u2013 don\u2019t\u2013 they\u2013 they could<\/em> use a different word. \u201cExploit\u201d? That\u2019s what he said.<\/p>\n

Swiss almost lost\u2013 costs the world an international incident by accidentally firing five practice artillery shells into little nation of Liechtenstein. Now you wouldn\u2019t know enough about Liechtenstein for me to talk about, probably, but Liechtenstein (tape failure on and off for several moments with momentary audio followed by silences), but it has been free of war, like Switzerland, for centuries. As I said, mostly it\u2019s being used as a tax haven, but it\u2019s getting tougher on them. Liechtenstein had Na\u2013 Nazis right across them during World War II, staring down on the top of the mountain at them, but they never got involved, because the Nazis smuggled some of their wealth in\u2013 into Liechtenstein, and you have to go through Liechtenstein to Switzerland. They stayed out of World War II, as I said. They discovered that uh, they\u2019ve had a little frightening crisis here. It almost cost a break-up of the coalition, Social Democrats\u2013 there\u2019s two parties that run the country, they both agree and they\u2019re both capitalist, uh, though there is a democratic kind of government there, but they\u2019re fighting over who shall be the foreign minister.<\/p>\n

Another terrible disappointment to US capitalism. Wednesday, this morning. Congressman [Charles] Diggs went up for the primary. The Democrats were confident they would throw him out with an Uncle Tom. You know, Congressman Diggs faces 37 felony counts and 175 years in the pen. The Uncle Tom lost<\/em>, and there\u2019s no likelihood now that the Republican [Dovie T. Pickett] can defeat Diggs in the fall. Diggs called it openly a conspiracy of the white man to drive him from his office, just as his father had had done to him two generations before. At a speech in Oakland, Diggs lag\u2013\u00a0lashed out to the chagrin of the Baptist ministers who walked off the platform at the white devils that are out to get black leaders<\/em>. He\u2019ll get himself killed. They may not put him in the pen, but they\u2019ll\u2013 he\u2019ll get himself killed<\/em>, if he keeps talking like that.<\/p>\n

Last three years, says the USA in the Voice of America, we have never heard such kind of language out of a congressman. They indicted him heartily, and tried to rake him over the coals. The Voice of America spent 15 minutes commentary running him down. They said he should<\/em> go to jail, they said only 12 black congressmen were indicted\u2013 My God! Twelve black congressmen in three years? They only got 14 in the goddamn Congress. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d brag about that<\/em>. But they said only one thus far has gone to jail. That\u2019s the Cong\u2013 that\u2019s the secretary of state, the one black leader. And this Voice of America said, only one\u2019s gone to jail. But they attacked him heartily. He\u2019s got the wrath of the multinationals. But apparently all the public are not believing the newspapers these days. That\u2019s good. It still doesn\u2019t change the scene, child. There\u2019s only one way for us to keep building this place up, showing goodwill and friendship, following examples of friendship, warmth, smiling, keeping the a\u2013 all the rules issued [on] that tape on conduct as we greet guests, so we\u2019ll have a place for people, a place to organize. There was a slight hope which there\u2019s not. You watch it. The matchstick\u2019s gonna set off a nuclear war, sure as hell.<\/p>\n

Multinationalist Peugeot of France is taking over all of Chrysler\u2019s European markets. Chrysler is in trouble in USA, financially.<\/p>\n

England is in turmoil over it, because in 1976, the government gave welfare to Chrysler of 65 million dollar\u2013 pounds. A pound\u2019s worth te\u2013 about two dollars of our money. So 130 million dollars USA. And another straight law\u2013 loan without any interest required of 60 million. Now the English feel the French will not pay them. The French say they will<\/em>, but they did not say when<\/em>. What\u2019s worse, 23,000 Englishmen look like they\u2019re going to be put on the unemployment line, as France is talking of closing up its Chrysler industries in England and moving them \u2013 where? Of course! \u2013 France. In the final analysis, each capitalist looks after itself. So that\u2019s bad news to the world economy. Even some speculation that it could threaten the very stability of the uh, economy in England, and England\u2019s already in enough trouble, because if this Labour government fails, the one in the shadow is Margaret Thatcher, the white he\u2013 heifer who threatens to put all\u2013 all people of color out, send them out, even some of them\u2019ve had roots of 200 years, and allow no<\/em> immigrant in. That\u2019s Asian, Indian, black, no person of color, not even from lower Europe.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s worldwide news about the Memphis power blackout (small laugh) and water cut-off. It\u2019s all over the world news. Raising hell in (unintelligible word) Memphis, those Tennesseans are raising<\/em> hell, lootin\u2019 and shootin\u2019 and uh, the poor National Guard is beleaguered, Carter\u2019s now tis\u2013 discussing whether he\u2019ll send out a whole Army base. Well, we told you so, didn\u2019t we? We told you so. [You] Say, I\u2019d like to be there. Yeah, and get shot down like dogs. You watch what I\u2019m telling you. They\u2019ll shoot their own police down like dogs, if this keeps up.<\/p>\n

US Agriculture Department is going to crack down on Democrats for appointing fellow politicians and families into lucrative fat paying jobs that do\u2013 when they don\u2019t do anything. That\u2019s nepotism. Seeing will be believing. Voice of America wasn\u2019t even sure that they were going to do anything about it. Said the Agriculture Department\u2019d been talking this way for three years.<\/p>\n

Scientology Church has claimed harassment again of one of its members and forced torture to extract certain testimony. Well, I don\u2019t know about that. Possible. I know some of our exes<\/em>, you don\u2019t have to do anything, and one<\/em> of their exes, you sure didn\u2019t have to do anything. He just sang for a little\u2013\u00a0a few bucks. That\u2019s why that Sheehan, a former Jesuit who was a powerful attorney who gives us free advice on the side, dropped them, because he wanted them to tell the truth. He said, pay that guy whitemail, and get him out of the country. But the church didn\u2019t listen<\/em> to him. Now they\u2019re paying the\u2013 a price for it. Strangely enough, I<\/em> wanted to do something like that, and our<\/em> attorney said do just the opposite. We should remember that when our attorney comes, be very kind to him, very lovling to him, but uh, one of our attorneys, we should\u2013\u00a0the counselors, we should remind<\/em> him what I wanted<\/em> to do and what Sheehan told his<\/em> people to do was exactly what I wanted<\/em> to do, and his<\/em> people \u2013 the Scientologists \u2013\u00a0didn\u2019t<\/em> do it, and got their asses in trouble<\/em>. I do believe most everybody has a price. And we sure seen our<\/em> enemies have a price. A very small<\/em> one.<\/p>\n

Mary Sue Hubbard faces this \u00a0most serious uh, charges. Her husband\u2019s quite elderly now, the head of the church, so she\u2019s the most active, so they\u2019re putting the most charges against her. Forgery, conspiracy, bugging. Poor woman, so\u2013 I don\u2019t know how she could get all this done. (Pause)<\/p>\n

But (Pause) three Americans, in the midst of all this, floating over the Atlantic for the first time have made a historic record. They\u2019re dropping at 24 miles per hour and are going to be the first, it looks like, to make a floating balloon carry them across from America to Europe. (Sarcastic tone) Aren\u2019t you all thrilled<\/em> about that?<\/p>\n

Consumer groups asking FDA immediately now, there\u2019s a hue and cry all over America, to stop drugs, and most of the drugs that keep people awake have caffeine. Center for Scientific Studies of the federal government and the Consumers Union magazine also say they have given conclusive evidence time<\/em> and time again to the FDA \u2013 the Federal Drug Administration of the federal government \u2013 which has been ignored. So I guess uh, there must be a lot of little children having birth defects that are requiring government money, or they wouldn\u2019t be bringing it all out in the public now, because for years they\u2019ve known it and done nothing about it.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s the end of the news. I think you\u2019ve probably had your fill of it, and plenty of that you know I don\u2019t enjoy it, because it\u2019s painful to my chest, but I have to give you the news. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth<\/em> has made you free. It\u2019s the only thing that\u2019ll free you in the world. I love you very, very much. Remember those 76 who failed the last test, you go into the movie when I start it, called Who\u2013 For Whom the Bell Tolls<\/em>, about the great Spanish Civil War. It\u2019ll be probably por\u2013 told in liberal terms, but I\u2019ll interpret it. It has uh, Gary Cooper, some very good actors. It was considered the best movies of all times, and the favorite of Fidel Castro. Other meetings will be called now. Thank you, and I do love you so much.<\/p>\n
