Jim Jones:<\/strong> (reads slowly without affect; radio broadcast periodically discernible in background) \u2013of the neutron bomb in spite of con\u2013 conservative Democratic and Republican opposition. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Israelis refused to comply with withdrawal demands of United Nations from Lebanon. This brings about strong indictment against the Israelis by Kurt Waldheim, United Nations\u2019 executive secretary [Secretary General]. (Pause) [Hugh Foot] Lord Caradon, who is chief British delegate to United Nations Security Council, drafted its lar\u2013 landmark Resolution 242 on Israeli security and Palestinian rights, has called upon the council to update the resolution so as to insure Palestinian self-determination on territories seized by Israel. Caradon\u2019s call, contained in a recent article in The Nation <\/em>magazine, came amid attempts by Israeli fascist Premier [Prime Minister] Menachem Begin to reinterpret the resolution denying what it calls for\u2013 that it calls for withdrawal of occupying forces in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Filipino dictator [Ferdinand] Marcos has ordered the army and the police to break up all demonstrations. (Pause) The opposition party that was being led by a senator [Benigno S. Aquino, Jr.], who has been held for five years without trial by the dreaded Marcos regime, who now has the favored support of Cesar Chavez of the farm workers union, United States. The election, which was contrived and fraudulent, of course went in favor of the dictator Marcos in the Philippine islands in the Pacific Ocean. Marcos, as you know, has murdered some fifty thousand opponents in the last year, including his own best supporters, five millionaires. Indeed there is no security in capitalism. Only a communist society promises security, as we have a thousand strong this morning to guarantee that we will eat, thousand strong guaranteeing medical care. That is, there should<\/em> be anyway, those that would go out and give their bodies, any way necessary to protect the family. At this point it is Father<\/em> that has risen always to the need by\u2013 through the years, saving every penny he could scratch into a buffer that will last certainly months if we were cut off from all<\/em> funds. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Unemployment, the news says in the background, is at an un\u2013 precedented high. The trade deficit continues to be startling to U.S. economic authorities. We\u2019re having to import in United States, due to the erosion of lands and lack of production, unemployment. We\u2019re importing more than we are selling, creating a very difficult situation, that most say will most certainly eventually lead to total economic collapse of the capitalist system.<\/p>\n

The campaign against the neutron bomb<\/a>, currently underway throughout Europe, emerged dramatically<\/em> when President [Jimmy] Carter has been forced by a hundred and fifty thousand petitioners to acknowledge it on public television and say that he will stay the production of the monstrous evil weapon that kills all<\/em> human and animal life but does not touch property. Property (Pause) is the God\u2013 (Pause) is the God indeed of capitalism.<\/p>\n

Cluster bombs, anti-personnel weapons (Pause) have been used by the Israelis in Lebanon. Each bomb throws tens of thousands of pieces of shrapnel in civilian communities. The Menachem Begin regime of fascist Israel refuses to change its expansionist tendencies (Pause) \u2013<\/p>\n

Eugene Propper, Assistant U.S. Attorney on Monday, showed Chilean government officials evidence collected in the U.S. which identifies the two persons now believed to have carried out September 1 assassination of opposition leader, good friend of Peoples Temple, who I prophetically warned to not<\/em> go to Washington, Orlando Letelier, in Washington D.C. The two, Michael Townsley [Townley], an exile from the U.S., and Chilean Army Captain Armando Fernandez [Larios], were issued visas to enter the U.S at a Chilean government request a few weeks before Letelier and associate Ronni Martiff [Moffitt] were killed. Propper is said to have conveyed a State Department request to have the two questioned before a judge.<\/p>\n

In a related development, it was announced Tuesday that General [Manuel] Contreras, a confidante of the Chilean dictator, dreaded<\/em> dictator, who was put in power by our merciless CIA, Augusto Pinochet, has resigned his army commission. General Manuel Contreras, once a powerful force in the ruling military junta, was head of the National Intelligence Directorate, DINA, at the time of the Letelier assassination, carried out by the Chilean CIA in conjunction with the USA CIA. (Pause)<\/p>\n

The statement issued on Friday by the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the great new socialist black government in [the] Horn of Africa, said peace can be secured in the area of the Horn of Africa only if the leaders of Somalia, without any conditions attached, abandon any claim to parts of Ethiopia and Kenya, as well as Djibuti, the statement concluded. The Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is resolutely rejecting the attempts by the U.S. multinationals and government and its allies to interfere in the solution of matters which fell under Ethiopia\u2019s sovereignty. Those are in particular attempts to link Somalian troops withdrawal with the presence in Ethiopia of military personnel rightfully<\/em> invited by the Ethiopian government from Cuba and the Soviet Union, as well as a proposal to send foreign observers to Ethiopia. All those attempts are tantamount<\/em> to an interference in the internal affairs of the socialist Ethiopian black nation. They are unacceptable to Ethiopia and cannot serve the cause of establishing peace. (Pause)<\/p>\n

The Cuban foreign minister warns the Somalian regime and the USA and Egypt that there will be no toleration for any further attempts to invade the Ethiopian territory. A Pan African news agency, embracing 49 African and Arab countries, is expected to be in operation by the end of the year, a spokesperson for the Kenyan International Information Ministry said this week. (Pause)<\/p>\n

A statement issued here this week by the leadership of the communist party of Israel, called the Rakah, said bitter experience shows that holding onto occupied Arab territory, whether in the Sinai, in the West Bank and Gaza, or in the Golan Heights, has not given Israel security, despite what is claimed by the government. The statement issued by the Communist Party\u2019s Central Committee (Pause) condemned the recent Palestinian commando raid into Tel Av\u2013 Tel Aviv, saying the attack helps Begin and his government to divert public opinion in Israel and the world from its own deeds that are sabotaging peace efforts.<\/p>\n

The United States warned Mexico that this country\u2013 country\u2019s joining OPEC, might bring about trade reprisals, tourist boycotts and credit restrictions. In an article in Foreign Policy<\/em>, a publication put out by the U.S. State Department, Professor George Grayson disclosed that Mexico\u2019s joining OPEC, which br\u2013 also Venezuela is taking independence of USA and refusing to fi\u2013 find US policy as her own. But anyway it disclosed that Meco\u2019s [Mexico\u2019s] joining OPEC, State Department said, might be punished with a boycott similar to the one that took place in 1975 to keep tourists from traveling to Mexico. As you know, Synanon, the only other cooperative left in California besides ours, had to run away leaving its property, some of it with us, and flee<\/em> to Mexico. Grayson says Mexico\u2019s foreign debt makes this nation further<\/em> exposed to threats<\/em>. Of the underdeveloped countries that are not members of OPEC, together with Brazil, Mexico has a greater debt on the world market than any other.<\/p>\n

Nicaraguan dictator, Anastasio Samazo\u2013 Somoza is using U.S. mercenary pilots to attack the growing armed resistance movement in that central American country, charged Nicaraguan exiles in San Jose, Costa Rica. The exiles said that the nationwide spirit of revolt against the Somoza tyranny has infected even the Nicaraguan Air Force, which the dictator no longer trust[s] and has grounded. The places of regular Nicaraguan Air For\u2013 pilots\u2013 Air Force pilots have been taken by US mercenaries, bought<\/em> by Somoza, under the cover of technicians and consul\u2013 consultation experts, to Atlantica Airlines, the exile said. When a dictator of many forty years cannot even trust his own air force, it shows there is no security in capitalism.<\/p>\n

Nationwide demonstrations in the United States to free<\/em> the Wilmington Ten have brought no response from either Governor James Hunt of North Carolina or President Jimmy Carter, who seems to choose to ignore the entire situation.<\/p>\n

A spurt in youth unemployment (tape edit) from twenty-seven point nine percent to twenty-eight and a half percent, has sparked a call for a march on the nation\u2019s capital, that is Washington D.C. An organizer for the Youth March for Jobs Committee said, \u201cOur answer to this new rise in youth in\u2013 unemployment in USA will be to bring thousands<\/em> of youth in Washington over this very weekend, the April eighth weekend.\u201d Stand by\u2013<\/p>\n

(Tape edit) (silence for several moments)<\/p>\n

The Panama Canal Treaty is causing concern in Capitol Hill because the Prime Minister of Panama [General Omar Torrijos] has said there have been too many amendments, and it\u2019s not acceptable. The last amendment, pushed through by the reactionary USA Congress, was that the Mason Lodge on Panama\u2019s territory was to be held as sovereign<\/em> territory and property, this howd\u2013 half-million dollar piece of property, was to remain the sovereign property of the United States. Indeed, the small but brave, valiant Panamanian people have decided that the Panama Canal Treaty, now changed so many times and abridged and amended, is unacceptable<\/em>, totally unacceptable. President Carter is fearful that this will mean a failure of the Panamanian Treaty to pass<\/em> the Congress in its final form next week.<\/p>\n

Right-wing economist, the man who has brought the people of Chile unofficial inflation rate of more than sixty-five percent, unemployment of more than thirty percent, even higher under-employment and extreme poverty engulfing more than thirty percent of the population, would now like to bring the people of California the Jarvis-Gann Initiative. Milton Friedman, or Friedman [mispronounced, then corrected], Nobel prize winning economist and the fiscal wizard most responsible for the fascist murderous Chilean junta\u2019s economic policies, officially endorsed the fascist initiative earlier this month. The Jar-Garvis\u2013 the Jarvis-Gann Initiative, Proposition 13, before the voters on the June sixth ballot, will drastically limit spending and revenues by both state and local governments. Under the guise of providing homeowners and commercial property owners with sixty percent reduction in property taxes, the Jarvis-Gann initiative is directed first and foremost<\/em> at social spending and public employees. It would have a devastating<\/em> impact on public education in this state. \u201cI strongly favor the Jarvis-Gann amendment,\u201d said Friedman, to the n\u2013 San Diego Union<\/em>, \u201calthough it is not<\/em> in any way the ideal measure.\u201d Friedman would prefer Jarvis-Gann to go further<\/em>, not only restricting how much revenue government can raise, but more specifically restricting government spending at all<\/em>. \u201cAnother\u201d (tape edit) \u201cpoint that anything which reduces the amount of money available for government to spend is a good thing,\u201d Friedman said. \u201cLet\u2019s pass<\/em> Jarvis-Gann, and then expand<\/em> the movement by moving towards a more effective type of limitation of government\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lieutenant [William] Calley has become the mayor of the small community in Georgia where he now resee\u2013 resides, and is the most popular man in town, though suffering from several heart attacks, apparently not quite<\/em> able to live with his own guilt, for murdering nearly two hundred children during the My Lai offensive, not to mention adults, young adults. They were tortured and killed. We all heard of My Lai, but no one was ever really brought to trial. Lieutenant Calley lives in a two hundred thousand dollar home, but as I said, perhaps a little conscience remains in him, because he does not seem to have peace of mind, even though he has been freed. As always, US deals very, very patiently with fascist and Nazis. But if anyone is a socialist, they are considered suspect.<\/p>\n

As always, I\u2019ve been up all night, and urging you to go out today, to fight for our people\u2019s right to exist. We will not have our property much longer, because of the evil<\/em>, insidious policies\u2013 (Pause)<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to excuse\u2013 Attention. You\u2019ll have to excuse, I found myself sleeping while talking. It\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve rested. That\u2019s quite an experience<\/em>, to come to and find yourself asleep while talking. So I do not know the last statement of news, and if it made no sense to you, it was coming out of my sleep<\/em>, though I did not drop the microphone and continued to talk.<\/p>\n

Could you describe the basic causes of economic depression under capitalism<\/em>? There seems to be some disagreement on the question in socialist circles. This was an article, a question posted to the New Times<\/em>. You are right. There is disagreement on the basic causes of economic crisises [crises] under capitalism, and not only in left circles. The capitalist spokesmen, by and large, have come to realize that crisises are an inevitable part of their evil system, but they lack a coherent explanation and fall back on placing the blame on mis\u2013 on mistakes in government regulation of the capitalist economy. Karl Marx, the writer of The Communist Manifesto<\/em>, the father of our beautiful Marxist views that\u2019ve been implemented from his theories by the practitioner [Vladimir] Lenin \u2013 thus making us Marxist-Leninists \u2013 Karl Marx\u2019 explanation of economic crisises, worked out one hundred and twenty years ago, has proven its absolute validity ever since. Disagreements among students to Marx result from the fact that his analysis is not simple. Often people emphasize just one side of it, rather than considering all the main features of a balanced way. Sometimes Marxists will say economic crisis results from the contradiction between the social<\/em> nature of production and the private<\/em> character of appropriation. Well said. That\u2019s a true, and it\u2019s fundamental\u2013 That is<\/em> true, and it\u2019s fundamental. But it\u2019s just a beginning, it isn\u2019t concrete enough to explain the phenomenon. The main<\/em> point, in the full e\u2013 explanation, are as follows: The driving force of capitalist production is the accumulation of wealth. The capitalist tries to get as much profit as possible in order to invest it, expand his operations and make still more profit. (Tape edit) Interesting news in the Atlas stated that of the capitalists that have made<\/em> vast profits, less than two percent of them live beyond 55 years of age to enjoy<\/em> the profits that they have bilked out of the oppressed working classes. But to collect his profits, he has to sell the goods that are produced, and the fire\u2013 (Pause) and the end of a significant part of those goods must be sold to the workers in every prosperity and boom period. The capitalists expand their capacity and production much faster than the wages of the workers go up. Sooner or later the failure of the market to expand rapidly enough begins to cut into small profit margins. The capitalist[s], evil as they are, calculate that further<\/em> expansion will cut their profit rates, and the capital goods industries becomes less actives\u2013 less active in many spheres, throwing workers out of their jobs and uh\u2013 (Pause) cutting. (Pause) (tape edit)<\/p>\n

Stand by. (Pause)<\/p>\n

But to collect the profits, he has to sell the goods that are produced \u2013 that is the socialist \u2013 and in the end a significant part of those goods must be sold to the workers. In every prosperity and boom period, the capitalists expand their capacity and production much faster than the wages of the worker go up. (Pause)<\/p>\n

It is suspected that the retiring commander of the Army, US Air Force and Navy, commanda\u2013 commandeer\u2013 Stand by, drifting off into sleep again. The Commander of the United States Armed Forces General Brown [George S. Brown, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff] and his supporters still persist that he was injected with cancer cells to replace him because of his anti-Zionist attitudes and expansionist\u2013 anti-expansionist views that he held.<\/p>\n

Sooner or later, the failure of the market of capitalism to expand readily enough begins to put into profit margins. It cuts in badly to profit margins. The capitalist[s] calculate that further expansion will cut their profit rates, and the capital goods industries becomes less active altogether, flowing\u2013 throwing workers out of their jobs and cutting purchasing power still further. Meanwhile, stocks of autos, clothing, and other consumer goods pile up, and there are layoffs in these industries. Weaker capitalists, suck\u2013 stuck with goods they cannot sell, go bankrupt. Laid-off workers, unable to pay off mortgages, have their homes foreclosed, or they go crazy also. But no one\u2013 (Pause) But no two crisises are exactly the same. Sometimes they start in the heavy industries, sometimes in consumer goods, and other times in the financial markets, but sooner or later in every real crisis, all parts of the economy of capitalism are involved and will be destroyed.<\/p>\n

Enough reading for the day. For commentary of the news, I\u2019ll be back midday. As I said I\u2019ve been up all night, I hope you get some highlights of the news.<\/p>\n

Secret FBI papers reveal that the Rosenbergs were murdered, without one scintilla of evidence that they were spies, as they were charged, and murdered, executed in the electric chair in New York. (Pause) FBI files in the hands of our attorney Charles Garry, his friend, reveal that there is a national conspiracy still<\/em> going on to destroy all<\/em> leaders of any influence in the Indian or black community. They have a case they\u2019re going to attempt to defend, in a matter of days, proving<\/em>, highlighting, absolutely the efforts of the FBI to destroy those they feel are politically unpopular, as was the case with Julius [and] Ethel Rosenberg, who left their nine- and ten-year-old children [Robert and Michael Meeropol] alone in the world, because they had no choice. They were murdered by the fascist police state, even as far back as [U.S. President Dwight D.] Eisenhower.<\/p>\n

Well, you\u2019ve had some idea of the news. The Soviets are adamant, claiming they will use new super-satellite warfare technology if USA does not permanently ban the neutron bomb. Apparently Carter is reasonably convinced, as he has backed off, and holding now a temporary stay of the building of the neutron bomb.<\/p>\n

All my love, and have a very good work day. Produce out of concern for our people who are waiting on you<\/em> to liberate them from hell<\/em> that\u2019s indescribable. You should listen to their reports all night as I\u2019m on the radio, or listening to their reports coming in. They\u2019re books and lo\u2013 books long. They\u2019ve been very brave to stand there and fight, because everything looks lost<\/em> in the United States, and only here is there hope. Ron Dellums, the congressman, thanked us for offering sanctuary to Congressman [Charles] Diggs. As he himself admitted, it was a political frame-up. Congressman Ron Dellums is a black from California.<\/p>\n

Much love, please produce, please produce is the appeal of all. Peoples Rally this evening. Let us all put our soul, mind into production so we will have the best co\u2013<\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>(more animated) \u2013so excuse me for being delayed. I did give you morning news after being up all night. I don\u2019t know whether you observed the morning news. I had an interesting experience<\/em>. Been some days since I had rest, and I\u2019ve twice<\/em> gone to sleep holding a microphone, and come to and realize that I was continuing with the news<\/em>. So if the news had any kind of strange twist, please tell your Father. (short laugh) I don\u2019t know uh\u2013 I really don\u2019t know what I said<\/em>. I think it was only a few seconds. But this morning I warned you that I\u2013 when I came to, that uh, I\u2019d been asleep<\/em>, and I was reading and yet sleeping. It\u2019s a strange phenomenon that I have, to keep pushing myself. So if you\u2019ve had any news this morning, probably only lasted a few seconds, that was slightly<\/em> confusing, to the few that listen\u2013 which I know, to my heartbreak, few listen, as much as I hate to talk, I would think out of consideration for that, you\u2019d listen, \u2018cause I only want to help you. I\u2019d do anything in the world to help all of my children.<\/p>\n

The official jobless rate as you know went up \u2013 soaring<\/em> \u2013 three percent this month. You can tell by listening to the news that the economists really don\u2019t know what the hell<\/em> to do to plug the dikes. But they just don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening. They\u2019re afraid of uh, making devaluations of money, afraid that it\u2019ll affect the inflation rate. They don\u2019t know how to control the situation. Basically because I gave you some reading of \u2013 and commentary, my own personal ideas \u2013 they don\u2019t know how to control a capitalist economy without war<\/em>. When you get a disproportionate number of people on the streets without work\u2013 Teen, teenage em\u2013 unemployment in Detroit, seventy-one percent, black<\/em> teenage unemployment, and whites<\/em> getting out of hand. Same in the Bay. Well, in the past, the Labor Department hasn\u2019t had to worry<\/em> about that, \u2018cause the military would take our sons, drop them off in a place like Vietnam, let them fight for the big corporations\u2019 resources there and holdings, but the sons won\u2019t fight<\/em>, and they\u2019re afraid\u2013 now that it\u2019s mostly a black army, \u2018cause nobody else\u2019ll take the shit<\/em> work but the blacks \u2013 they\u2019re afraid to trust the blacks in the richest continent in the world<\/em>, which is black<\/em>, because they\u2019re afraid they\u2019ll turn those guns on the ruling<\/em> class.<\/p>\n

Capitalism takes another life. The propane heater blew up, the flames ate through the walls, and May Greckoff [phonetic] died alone of smoke inhalation on the ash-covered bedroom floor. Credit the San Francisco Lighting Company, the public utilities companies of California, with last week\u2019s murder of May Greckoff, a sixty-five-year-old blind widow, disabled and diabetic. In its drive for maximum profit, the monopoly shut off the electricity, to the (Unintelligible, sounds like Lionhurst) home, when the victim could not come up with a two hundred and sixty dollar payment, because she\u2019s living on the modest welfare, due now with the cutbacks, of one hundred and twelve a month. \u201cAt night I could see candles flickering,\u201d recalled a neighbor after the fire. \u201cAnd one day her daughter was carrying in a propane tank, the kind for a small heater.\u201d Greckoff\u2019s daughter, Carol Jugg [phonetic], and three grandchildren, were all there when the blind one panicked and died. First and second and third degree burns were on the rest of the people involved. The electricity cutoff forced them to check into\u2013 part of her family, there were twelve<\/em> living there to try to make ends meet, in East Oakland. They had checked into a cheap motel, just to get hot baths and showers. \u201cWe had no idea an elderly disabled person was there, or we would\u2019ve contacted Social Services,\u201d contended the public utilities company, after the incident, California. The public utilities company attempted to peddle a similar line last December after its electricity termination led to deaths of three young children, in the East Bay also. \u201cThe tenants had to resort to candles for lighting, but we had no way of knowing,\u201d said the public utilities spokesperson. Public utilities is supposed to be owned by the people representing them, but when anyone is poor or black \u2013 and these families were black \u2013 their electricity is cut off. \u201cAfter all,\u201d they said, \u201cpeople\u201d\u2013 one spokesman for the public utilities company said, \u201cThese people don\u2019t pay their\u2013 they don\u2019t pay their fare, they shouldn\u2019t get their share.\u201d Now that\u2019s very cute little humor at the expense of a blind diabetic woman, three children, and several with first and second, third degree burns.<\/p>\n

Charge: conspiracy and death. A one-million dollar lawsuit was filed last week by the parents of Janet Sloan, who was killed last year in an accident at the Sun Shipyerd\u2013 Shipyard near Philadelphia, one of seventeen such accidents that year. The suit charges that Sloan, an inexperienced worker, was deliberately assigned to extremely hazardous work because she spoke out against dangerous working conditions at the yard. Sloan, an organizer for the Communist Party, had been working at the yard for only six months, and when she was assigned to work on a small welding platform fifty feet in the air. The platform was out of sight or shouting distance of coworkers. The good trade union organizer Communist Sloan fell from the platform and lay unnoticed for several hours while dying of massive injuries. Communist, black, placed in the\u2013 deliberately<\/em> placed in extremely hazardous work conditions, and some seventeen more have been done the same way in that Philadelphia plant.<\/p>\n

Goodrich, one of the big ruling corporate elite companies that maintains the fascist state of South Africa, the fourth largest tire company, has asked the United Repub\u2013 Rubber Workers Union, URW, for a no<\/em>-strike contract when the current pact expires a year from now. The union, while rejecting the idea for the time being, is continuing negotiations on the proposal in order to best serve the interest of both the union and the company. Another example of bossism that has sold out the trade union movement. When the union movement gives up its right to strike, the death of labor \u2013 free labor \u2013 has come. As you know, in order to have a revolutionary situation, you have<\/em> to have a strong Communist Party, a strong Socialist Party, and a free, independent and strong trade union movement. None<\/em> of these ingredients are alive and well in the United States.<\/p>\n

Nazis fill the streets five miles long in St. Louis. The Nazis had boasted they would goosestep through a white working-class neighborhood here, decked out in full storm trooper regalia. And the Nationalist Socialist Nazi Party of America, discrediting the word \u201csocialist\u201d to try to confuse the working class, made their entrance, despite a community pra\u2013 protest on all<\/em> levels. Some one thousand four hundred brown shirts with swastikas, just as in the days of [Adolf] Hitler, waving the banners of \u201cwhite power,\u201d \u201ckill the niggers,\u201d marched through the working class, to a stunned and observant crowd that watched quietly, even in the black neighborhood of St. Louis, as the mob of Nazis \u2013 fourteen hundred brown shirts, in flatbed trucks with police escorts \u2013 went down the streets. At first it seemed an angry crowd of people lining both sides of the streets would show<\/em> the indig\u2013 indignation that might keep freedom alive in America. They greeted the fascists with jeers, taunts, and sporadic barrages of snowballs, stones, eggs, and tomatoes. But then they backed off as the police ran into the crowd. A tactical squad, that is.<\/p>\n

In a related development, Jewish community leaders in Skokie, Illinois have called for a peaceful countermarch to the Nazi march that\u2019s been upheld by the Supreme Court for April 20, the anniversary of Adolf Hitler\u2019s birthday. Would it surprise you to know that there is no city in America that will not have a march of brownshirts, Nazis, goose-stepping, saying \u201cHeil Hitler\u201d? In U.S. cities, English cities and West Germany, it is called by BBC a resurrected cult<\/em>. It\u2019s as if Jesus had returned, it\u2019s as if they\u2019ve made a Christ<\/em> or a Messiah out of Adolf Hitler, because all over Germany, he\u2019s worshipped, eyes become moony-eyed, and adulating at the very name of Adolf Hitler, mass murderer who killed all minorities, gassed them, starved them, tortured them and took their skin and made lampshades out of it. What<\/em> is it with the human race?<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t have much time to give you news today. You know that Carter, forced by a massive<\/em> protest even in his so-called NATO alliance comptr\u2013 companies \u2013 companies is more correct \u2013 countries has uh, temporarily stayed the production and deployment of the horror weapon, neutron bomb. Primarily, however, the Soviets have assured<\/em> him, and did place a test of something in orbit to show that they do<\/em> mean business, and they said they will make neutron bombs within 96 hours if he insists on doing it. They said we will have a neutron<\/em> bomb ready in 96 hours. Said the Soviet Union knew of the neutron bomb in 1950, gave it up as barbaric. Said some of the US\u2019s plans for war strategy and destruction, would make Attila the Hun look like a preacher.<\/p>\n

Family farmers are suffering. The corporate wheel has taken over seventy-seven percent of all farms in the United States, corporate rule taking over the stores, the businesses. You\u2019d think that people who talk about competition would see some slight contradiction, but the businessman doesn\u2019t have any competition, small businesses can\u2019t make it, as the corporations swallow up the last<\/em> vestige of independence, where the little businessman could make it, in the farms.<\/p>\n

This, I think, gives you a little<\/em> bit of the news. Time to go back to work. It\u2019s interesting to know that the Communist Party, Revolutionary Communist Party, that had been strongly pro-China in USA, has split. The Guardian, used to be pro-China, has left the ranks of the Chinese because of their counter-re\u2013 revolutionary tendencies, and their betrayal of the\u2013 those who have changed policies, fundamental differences in policies, since the death of the great Mao Tse-Tung. The majority group, headed by the party chairman Bob Avicon, sums up directly and succinctly its position on events in China since the arrest of the four leaders [Jiang Qing (wife of Mao Tse-Tung), Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, Wang Hongwen] that wanted to bring China back into a revolutionary position. He said the wrong side won. We still believe that masses of Chinese will finally come back into the international movement, but in the meantime, the Revolutionary Communist Party, RCP \u2013 that was the Chinese Communist Party USA \u2013 has left the support of the reactionary foreign policy war-mongering leaders of China.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia cops kill eleven people in arson death. Jesus Christ. The Philadelphia police and the city\u2019s entire judicial system are once again on trial. In a case which opened last week, six<\/em> Philadelphia cops are having to give answers to a federal inquiry from the rashist\u2013 racist and brutal investigation and fire<\/em>-bombing of black<\/em> homes in Philadelphia, and Puerto Rican homes. In one case, four members of the family of Redames Santiago [phonetic] and a neighbor were murdered<\/em>, when their home in the racially-mixed Feltonville area of [the] city was destroyed by fire that the police set, and stood back and cheered. US Attorney General [Assistant U.S. Attorney] John Penrose said in his opening statement, the accused detectives were guilty of conducting a brutal, botched investigation, and assisting in mobocracy, in one of the worst<\/em> murders in the city\u2019s history. The detectives coerced witnesses into naming someone outside the police ranks as the killer. But under pressure from the black community, at least there\u2019s an inquiry going on. However, if anything is done about police, it\u2019ll be a first in United States. As a Civil Rights Commission US, as I gave you last week, has said, that the police have turned more racially brutal than at any time in the history of the United States.<\/p>\n

I love you very much, back to work, let\u2019s produce with all of our hearts. I might say: California is trying to pass legislation that will ban all homosexual teachers. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>\u2013the papers, doing their evil work, had completely brainwashed the American public, and said all socialists were evil and out to subvert US society, and were against God, motherhood, the country, and apple pie. I mean it was almost that ridiculous, the brainwashing that went on (tape edit) socialists didn\u2019t love their children, socialists didn\u2019t have the feelings of ordinary people, they were like robots with strings on them from Moscow. But she [Lynetta Jones] knew her son, and she had one thing that some could do well to remember her for in some kind of commemoration tomorrow: she had undying loyalty. She knew I was kind, she knew I was good, she knew I cared, so she risked all. If she had broken under the pressure and given them any information that could\u2019ve proven that I was in Chicago with Paul Robeson, because some of us had just escaped from a paddy wagon on the way to be arraigned as guilty of violating anti-subversive laws, I would\u2019ve had to pick up my little cubs [Agnes, Jim Jr., Lew, Stephan, and Tim Jones], my adopted cubs, Marceline, and like all of my other fellow workers, fled the country to save my children and others from being hurt. Marceline wouldn\u2019t have minded, but I would\u2019ve had to\u2019ve saved others<\/em> that could\u2019ve been hurt by my arrest. You<\/em> would then never\u2019ve had this place that\u2019s given purpose to your life, if you have any sense, the greatest purpose you\u2019ve ever known.<\/p>\n

Think about Lynetta Jones, and the little white fence, who wouldn\u2019t seek help, who wouldn\u2019t accept healing, but gave her life and every penny, the largest donation of anyone to keep this program alive. Faithful mother, (Pause) beloved friend of all of you, who gave hours of her time when she was so ill back in the States and here, with your counseling matters, your tax problems. She never knew how to say no, but more than anything, she could stand up to the FBI and the CIA and the fascist terror, and say \u201cI refuse to testify,\u201d no matter how many times they insulted her, sneered at her, even she said the spit from their mouth as they would ring back at her, \u201cThat\u2019s commie talk,\u201d she said the spit would fly in her face, but she never changed her response for seven hours. We have a Heroine of Communism Memorial, and we should not forget her sacrifice. Where we see beauty, exemplify it, and live up to it, to try to copy it, \u2019cause she was just a humble woman from the hills of Arkansas, self-educated, pulled herself up by the bootstraps, did one hell of a job of standing up for the little man, and the little woman, everywhere.<\/p>\n

Being that our rain comes in the afternoon, the bulldozer should\u2019ve been functioning every morning during the day. Farm analysts are concerned about this, so those in charge of heavy duty equipment, let\u2019s please take this into consideration\u2013<\/p>\n

Unidentified male:<\/strong> What do you need? (Unintelligible) A screwdriver?<\/p>\n

(They move away from the recording device and become inaudible for a period of time. Muggs grunts. After a time the electric saw begins again in the background and continues for a time. It stops, then it starts again.)<\/p>\n
