Jones:<\/strong> \u2013Radio Moscow. Seven hundred and fifty more citizens have been arrested in Nicaragua. [Anastasio] Somoza has had to retreat to his palace, which is armed with 2000 people. He\u2019s had to bring in mercenaries, and it is felt that they have been brought from New Mexico, United States, under the CIA program, as it is\u2013 is determined that the reactionary element of USA is going to maintain Somoza at all co\u2013 at all costs.<\/p>\n

Ben Chavis of the Wilmington 10 appealed to [President Jimmy] Carter on human rights violations. No response is given from Carter\u2019s office, but there seems to be building up across the entire world, even in the capitals of the social democratic world, a campaign to free the Wilmington 10. What effect it will have on Carter, little known. Whether it will balance out world opinion will be worth it to him, he is to gain world\u2019s opinion but loses the voters, it probably is doubtful that Ben Chavis will get any relief from his 450-year sentence. And as you remember, or should<\/em>, the black minister had only been accused of burning down empty garage, and later the witnesses who testified that he had<\/em> burned down the garage, against this black man, they said they\u2019d all lied, and still<\/em>, they would not give him a new trial.<\/p>\n

[Leonid] Brezhnev, Secretary of the Communist Party, told an international conference of developing nations, 140 countries will participate. Aspirations of all developing nations to wipe out the dangers of nuclear war, hunger and poverty, as the Soviet Union has been the principal nation that has staved off massive starvation in India due to the monsoon rains, and the teril\u2013 the terrible thing that the CIA has caused through their geo-physical warfare, the locustses that plague all through India, parts of Arabia, and all<\/em> through northern Africa, from the west to the east.<\/p>\n

Voice of America. President Carter, (pause) [Menachem] Begin, and [Anwar] Sadat begin talks. Little has been given of encouragement for the outcomes.<\/p>\n

Soviet prosecutor for Crawfor\u2013 for [Francis Jay] Crawford demands five years suspended sentence. The Soviet Union do provide attorneys free<\/em> for even a proven traitor or criminal. That\u2019s the difference between USA. Crawford is a high-ranking International Harvester management boss, and he was found guilty by outside independent evidence, that he had violated one of the most important laws in a socialist country. He was selling dollars on the black\u2013 or the white market<\/a>. But to show how fair the Soviet Union is, they supply him with one of their best state prosecutors for his defense. For Crawford demands\u2013 uh, uh, close scrutiny and the best attorney possible, said the Soviet news agency Ta\u2013 Tass. If you are poor in the United States, or who\u2013 whoever you were, you don\u2019t get a guaranteed top-notch attorney. This is their\u2013 one of their best<\/em> attorneys in the entire Soviet Union. Crawford\u2019s uh, prosta\u2013 prosecutor said he was calling for a five-year suspended sentence. That doesn\u2019t show like a police state. That shows like a very lenient<\/em> and understanding<\/em> people, and a very compassionate<\/em> people. A five-year suspended sentence.<\/p>\n

Camp David summit. Begin and Sadat have a warm encounter, uh, the first part of the meeting. But little can say what will come out of this meeting. But Carter has said that his entire future rest on what happens at Camp David. Powell\u2013 Jody Powell, secretary to President Carter, briefed reporters. Prayers for success for the conference went up in all the leading churches of Washington, as they had a fast and prayer meeting, because they know that if this thing isn\u2019t settled, it\u2019s going to be a nuclear war. President Sadat said that there\u2019s need for a balanced formula. Autonomy for Palesti\u2013 tinians. Israel said they will not<\/em> give in on an independent state for Palestine. So if Carter\u2019s future rest on this<\/em> meeting, he may have no future at all.<\/p>\n

Foreign Secretary of the Soviet Union [Andrei] Gromyko, the summit goes behind the backs of the Arabs, said he. This summit conference is a sell<\/em>-out, like Munich.<\/p>\n

Three major concessions made by Egypt. What is Israel preparing in return? Is there anything she is willing to give up? (Pause) This was asked by Radio Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Russians (pause) who are in a position to wipe out\u2013 Russians said we are in a position to wipe out the major capitalist enemies. High-level conspirator brought about this information to the West German government. Unfortunately, a double agent, who took enough money\u2013<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we have to watch this man that\u2019s coming [Joe Mazor<\/a>], you\u2019re not to talk to this man, you\u2019re to speak to him, and if he asks you if you like it here, you say, oh, I love<\/em> it here, something like that, but you be careful, because the man that is giving state evidence against [Tim] Stoen and the fascist conspirators working against us, could be a double agent.<\/p>\n

This man was a double agent in Rumania, and he is now leaked to the high\u2013 high level of the German\u2013 West German government that the Soviets are in a position to wipe out all of the capitalist world.<\/p>\n

We need to get this thing of peace on. Only (unintelligible word)\u2013 (Pause) Stand by. We need to remember to keep a very form\u2013 firm and friendly relationship with our regional minister Comrade Durant, uh, Leonard Durant [Duvant], I think it is, he has been going all around Georgetown praising us yesterday. He\u2019s also a friend of the Soviet Union. He is seemingly for real. He\u2019s the older gentleman. The other man used to come, and he\u2019s white or he\u2013 kind of a khaki-sto\u2013 style, uh, Ca\u2013 Caribbean outfit, but this man came with his shirt open, and we need to press medical to\u2013 department for any medicines we need through him, because he seems very much for real. (Pause)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Jones:<\/strong> \u2013tention. Do not mention this man who\u2019s coming in, this high-level business person who has given evidence that Timothy Stoen, Jim Cobb and uh, Deanna Mertle, and there\u2019s one other that I have missed, one other person that\u2019s in the CIA. I\u2013 Tim\u2013 Jim Cobb\u2013 uh, stand by. That\u2019s it. Uh, I think it\u2019s (unintelligible word), the person that we were speaking about was the name of [David] Conn, connection with Treasury agents, criminal underworld, Standard Oil. (unintelligible word)\u2013 He\u2019s the one we listen to under the house, and found that we had David Conn, that had connections with two phones in San Francisco and [John] Barbagelata and Channel 7. He had those connections. He has also been in the CIA from the beginning, according to this man that stepped forward. We\u2019re having to bring him in here clandestinely. If anyone were to ask if the man is here, you\u2019ll be a counter-revolutionary if you speak it, because his life is in danger. They\u2019re trying to move him from post to post, as clandestine as possible, as secretly as possible, because he would be offed<\/em>. He knows too much. All right. Now I shall go on with the news.<\/p>\n

Three killed, 16 wounded in Bei\u2013 Beirut, by the rightwing Christian fascists called Phalangists. South Lebanon, Beirut government stripped command of two fascist Christian officers, as the popular support is going more and more to the Muslim socialists in Lebanon, which used to pride itself as being a Christian government, but the people have lost faith in the Christian government of Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Iran banned all unau\u2013 authorized gatherings. No one can have parties in their homes. No family can have family gatherings. In an ab\u2013 outright, absolute martial law. Machine gun attack on Iran, three terro\u2013 on a\u2013 Tehran\u2013 Tehran\u2013 What is it? (Pause) (mumbles) As I was saying, uh, while I had to interrupt for a moment, machine gun attack by the peoples left wing uh, segment of the Red Liberation Army, attacked the Irain\u2013 Iranian Tehran he\u2013 capital police force building, and wounded and killed many of the worst secret police in Tehran.<\/p>\n

Moscow. Crawford trial verdict tomorrow. State prosecutor, best prepared to defend anyone in the Soviet Union, demands only a five-year suspended sentence. I\u2019m sure<\/em> the USA would not be so sympathy\u2013 such sympathy would not be shown to a Russian who committed crimes in the USA. Strain in the Soviet-American relations, probably Crawford will be allowed to return to the United States. Many inconsistencies in his statements, said even BBC. He is absolutely guilty of a crime.<\/p>\n

Trial of two Soviet citizens accused of spying. (Pause) Through Finland, they have had proven direct contact with the CIA. The trial\u2019s postponed in New Jersey, and uh, the trial begins September 27. They (unintelligible word) to have had contact through a Soviet cell in Finland. Their trial begins September 27.<\/p>\n

United Nations employees accused of trying to buy defense sen\u2013 secrets. It was estimated that perhaps as high as 500 people in the\u2013 in the U.N.\u2013 I mean, not in the UN\u2013 yes, United Nation employees, uh, there\u2019s perhaps 500 of them who will be asked to leave the country, and some in the State Department will be tried for high crimes of treason. Whether or not the Soviet citizens will be treated as fairly as USA is trea\u2013 is treating the Crawford big-shot businessman of USA, that the Ambassador didn\u2019t even\u2013 the U.S. Ambassador [Malcolm Toon] had him in diplomatic immunity, they could\u2019ve thrown him right out of the embassy, but capitalists always sell out capitalists.<\/p>\n

The State Department talks with Soviet officials, before Gromyko, Foreign Secretary of the Soviet Union comes to Washington. An American response to Gromyko\u2019s ideas. Carter\u2019s National Security Council on arms limitation talks are going to meet with Gromyko and Cyrus Vance, and possibly Carter will resume SALT talks, as he sees looming across the world the danger of nuclear war. There were no promises that Carter would begin Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. He has held out, and he\u2019ll do nothing more, like a little child that\u2019s spoiled. He will do nothing more to try to stop nuclear war. No, not a thing. Because he\u2019s too old and mad, the Soviets won\u2019t let him interfere uh, with their country on how they treat their CIA criminals.<\/p>\n

Ian Smith, racist prime minister of Zimbabwe, says he\u2019s taking a tough stance on uh, rebellion, because the United States has given him sophisticated and advanced new weapons. That oughta make us feel nice. Our taxpayer dollars going again.<\/p>\n

Please be swatting the flies. I see some carrying them, and none are doing it. So many are do\u2013 not doing it. I gone take your names down, I\u2019m right here where I can see.<\/p>\n

Anyway (pause) we hope that Carter will not let his stupidity interfere with the dangers of nuclear hell that will wipe out USA and leave it like a desert uh, and a wasteland. But Ian Smith says since receiving the military assistance from the USA and in wake of the crash of the airliner, when some of his worst and evil members of his secret police were shot down in\u2013 over Zimbabwean territory, he condemns the killing of the civilians, so-called, and then, as a retaliation\u2013 and then, as retaliation for the plane coming down, advanced jets with napalm flew over three Zimbabwean villages, one in Zimbabwe, killing what is estimated 80 percent of all three of the populations. That\u2019s a nice way to retaliate. You\u2019re a real nice man, he is. The International Red Cross, the Council of Churches, want to meet the people\u2019s needs, but they are not being allowed to. The Zimbabwean Patriotic Front will allow them to come in, but Ian Smith, the dread fascist dictator, will not help them. All appeals to the United States, of course, has been fruitless, because they will not assist these brave and wonderful people, the Zimbabwean people, which the white man calls Rhodesia.<\/p>\n

U\u2013 The Soviet Union did successful parachute in several tons of food and whatever supplies that Moscow did not go into details, but s\u2013 several tons were dropped in, in Zambia which will help the beleaguered and pressured Zimba\u2013 Zimbabwean Patriotic Front.<\/p>\n

South Africa does not like uh, United Nations secretary [Kurt] Waldheim\u2019s plan. Major objections of the\u2013 by the South Africans is the size of US\u2013 United Nations military force. (Pause) Uh, in his tricky way, as usual, [Johannes] Vorster, who is an open ally of Adolf Hitler, said he don\u2019t want that many United Nations military forces in Namibia. South Africa should be allowed a larger force, they say. Of course, so they can keep Namibia from having their freedom. But it doesn\u2019t look like the Organization of African Unity is going to give in on that question.<\/p>\n

The Organization of African Unity has had another summit closed conference, but it is rumored from BBC that the 50 nations in the Organization of African Unity are now in the planning stages of setting up a Pan-African army, and that they shall move into<\/em> Namibia, guaranteeing that uh, Nambia will remain free, even if they have to wipe out the colonial regime of Union of South Africa, where apartheid is practiced, racial separation, and horrible concentration camps for Indian, black and Asian people.<\/p>\n

Angola accuses South Africa of carrying out raids in Namibia and Angola. South African pola\u2013 police arrested several in Cape Town. Most inhabitants are illegal residents. Several police were arrested. Just because they were not in the proper residence where they should live, and it is es\u2013 it is the statement of the BBC that these police had a kinder uh, feeling, these South African police had a kindler feeling for the black people and Indian people who are struggling to be free in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Pope John Paul asked that Camp David summit find a just peace, whatever in the hell that means.<\/p>\n

Indian floodwaters inundating large sections of the country. It is not uncommon for a 500-mile stretch to find cities totally covered with water. You can see no buildings, as the monsoons rage across what\u2019s wou\u2013 would been the\u2013 the most fertile season they had, the most productive sea\u2013 season, those beautiful Indian people would\u2019ve had. I wonder if USA\u2019s up to that<\/em> trickeration, because we see what they can do with geo-phy\u2013 geo-physical warfare.<\/p>\n

China will renounce use of force with Taiwan. This is a demand by the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tass says, Japan will continue friendly relations with the Soviet Union, as they want to sign a new treaty to be freed from the danger that when war comes out, that Japan will become an enemy of USSR. Brezhnev says they better back it up with practice, not just words, because it\u2013 although you may think, he said, that we have lost 22 million dead in World War II, and we are somewhat apprehensive about another war, we will not take any more\u2013 risk infringement on our sovereignty and threatening of our internal security. If it means war, then we\u2019re capable of fighting the war, and they\u2013 then Brezhnev jokingly referred to the high level communist that gave him the information that the Soviet Union had met\u2013 methods and weaponry to wipe out all<\/em> of the capitalist nations, he said I would remember that agent, if I were you. I would remember what he said.<\/p>\n

Rhodesia. Nkomo secret meeting. Mugabe not happy about this meet\u2013 meeting that took place with uh, Nkomo, who, as you know, Joshua Nkomo, is the internationalist, Robert Mugabe is the Marxist-Leninist co-partner in the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front. And you know him back history, Nkomo had a secret meeting with (Pause) Ian Smith. Mugabe\u2019s not happy about this meeting. Ineffectiveness of the internal coalition, he said. Rhodesia is not leading to peaceful elections or majority rule, they\u2019re going to build a fascist state, as bad as Hitler\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Continuing exodus of Rhodesian white settlers is disturbing Ian Smith, who will have few whites left, at the rate that they\u2019re leaving. On the average, two percent of the white settlers of Rhodesia are lur\u2013 leaving Rhodesia a day.<\/p>\n

British foreign officer deplored the violence that was taking place, but he also stated that much of that violence, USA had to take responsibility for, and the Western world.<\/p>\n

[Emmanuel] Erskine, black commander of the United Nations, of NATO, uh\u2013 he\u2019s of NATO but par\u2013 particularly he is now the head of the United Nations peace-keeping forces from Guyana\u2013 from Gha\u2013 Ghana rather. His militia in Lebanon. Lebanese ambassador, UN Erskine, said there\u2019s no point in sending troops with no military hardware. He accuses USA of just pretense and hypocritical surface play. He said we won\u2019t have the weapons to be able to resist these Christian fascists that Israel has set up, and he said he\u2019s going to resign unless the UN peace-keeping force is giving the\u2013 given the kind of support militarily so they can drive Israel back into her borders.<\/p>\n

Chancellor [Bruno Kreisky]\u2013 (pause) Stand by.<\/p>\n

Continue with the news. The BBC admitted that in spite of all the millions of Jews and people of color that were murdered by Hitler\u2019s Germany, that there is no left anti-Sement\u2013 Semitism, anti-Jewish feeling in Austria, than there were\u2013 than there was before the world\u2013 uh, before the World War II. In fact, they say, Jewish hate\u2013 hate towards Jewish people is at the highest level it has ever been in former German territory, but now, unfortunately, it has swept to France. It\u2019s in Italy. It\u2019s all throughout Europe. The Jews are not safe, said BBC. About the wo\u2013 new wave of anti-Semitism. Austria was once under the control of the Soviet Union, but to make peace, when the USA threatened nuclear war, and she didn\u2019t then have nuclear parity or balance, she allowed Austria to go free. That\u2019s a mistake in\u2013 as we look in retrospect, that was a mistake, because Austria has always been a fertile ground for Nazi fascist\u2013 and that\u2019s the last stage of monopoly capitalism. Uh\u2013 Austria\u2019s always been a fertile<\/em> ground for anti-Semitism and fascist thinking. And to think that one time, the Soviet Union had them uh, in her own alliance and allowed them to go free<\/em>. That\u2019s more than USA ever did. US was threatening nuclear war. At that time, I guess, somebody over\u2013 overruled the Politburo.<\/p>\n

Moderate stand towards Israel from Arabs, is what is being called\u2013 is what is being called for by BBC. They think that their calls may be falling on deaf ears. Ambassador to Sweden is to become the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Jesus Christ. The left PLO ambassador to Sweden, in uh, the E\u2013 Near East, w \u2013 it doesn\u2019t say which Near East country \u2013 has openly taken the leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and, with no reper\u2013 uh, with no recriminations from his government. No complaints. Sweden is uh, one of the better, as I said, of the so\u2013 social democracies. But anyway we should know that the uh, enemy of international socialism is anarchism, Trotskyism, social uh\u2013 social democracy (pause) and revisionism. And revisionism\u2019s main eng\u2013 in\u2013 enemy is that they believe things can be done through ch\u2013 the institutions gradually and by non-violent means, through the electoral process. So let\u2019s always remember what those major enemies are, in case you\u2019re asked.<\/p>\n

North Yemen. Seven executed by death squad for trying to build an alliance with South Yemeni, the Marxist-Leninist s\u2013 state that was recently uh, had a coup, but went pro-Soviet.<\/p>\n

Banned leading black spokesman in South Africa for one mo\u2013 for one month. There\u2019s a bla\u2013 leading black spokesman, he\u2019s not allowed to speak even in his own home to a group of no more than three. (Pause) That\u2019s real democracy.<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister [James Callaghan]. General elections will be held, he said. The two parties at best are neck-and-neck for popular support. But since [John Jeremy] Thorpe, the head of the Liberal Party, is charged with murder, and they think it may be a set-up by the reactionaries in England that will throw all the Liberal votes over to the Conservatives. And as you know, the Conservative Party, under that beastier\u2013 beastly woman named Margaret Thatcher, said that all black people, Indian people and Asian people will be removed from England, that people just don\u2019t\u2013 don\u2019t like their culture mixing with the English culture.<\/p>\n

[Ferdinand] Marcos accused Libyan [Moammar] Khadafy of providing rebels to fight the government. (Pause)<\/p>\n

[Alexei] Kosygin invited Korean leaders to Moscow. Dr. [Ptolemy] Reid will also be meeting with the K\u2013 North Korean leaders, the Peoples National Congress Deputy Prime Minister and chairman of the policy. Looks like a closer relation is coming with Moscow. Dr. Reid lead\u2013 uh, lead\u2013 leads a very humble life, and that makes for beauty for us, if they draw closer to the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

(unintelligible word) space lab are continuing their studies. When US correspondents asked them from the space base, the telecommunications base, they said what are<\/em> your geological surveys? Said we\u2019re looking for all of your bombs that you have no more sense than to keep in this age, so we can find them quickly, so that\u2013 you\u2013 you\u2013 you wouldn\u2019t want us to be uh, caught off guard, would you? That\u2019s all they said.<\/p>\n

Rhodesian territory, disappointment in the policy. New blood for Patriotic Front is necessary. N\u2013 Never refuse to settle disputes peacefully. (Stumbles) Meeting of Nkomo and Smith tied hands of Ian Smith. No good in coming of attempts to discredit the Patriotic Front. (More assured) There\u2019s no good in coming of attempts to discredit the Patriotic Front. They will not succeed. They\u2019re\u2013 They\u2019re getting new blood, and other nations are volunteering. Even some blacks have volunteered from the United States to go to uh, Patriotic Front and help fight them. Some former war veterans that saw how dirty USA did the people of color in Southeast Asia. (Clears throat)<\/p>\n

Carter, Begin and Sadat. The US arranged a meeting, the present summit, said Colonel Khadafy, and he has no faith in its success whatsoever. Key issues are all neglected. Israeli troops from all occupied territories, he said, Khadafy, is all that I will accept. Libya will enter into war if Israel does not give up the West Bank that belongs to Jordan, and the Gaza Strip that belongs to Egypt, and South Lebanon. Sadat, trying to save face, and get some concessions from Begin, because he\u2019s under the heat, and under the fire you might say, from all his Arab\u2013 Arab League compatriots. Washington wants separate deal to extend its influence in the\u2013 in the area, to be able to establish a military base, and uh, Washi\u2013 Moscow had just one word for that: Try it, and you\u2019ll find yourself dead. That was the only statement Moscow said. Try it, and you\u2019ll find yourself dead. The war talk is very heavy these days. But America started it, and I guess the Soviet Union is showing they can finish it. The American air base, troops on West Bank, is what is being anticipated. And the Soviets say, Try it, and you\u2019ll be dead. They\u2019re not going to take any US air\u2013ai\u2013 uh, air base. They said, you\u2019ve constantly hounded us with bases all around our border for years, and we will not<\/em> tolerate\u2013 not tolerate any<\/em> way, shape or form, the establishment of a naval or an army base in the Near East.<\/p>\n

A Mideast version of NATO \u2013 Israel, Egypt, and other rightwing dictatorships\u2013 wanting (tape edit)<\/p>\n

Colonel Khadafy of Libya said he will not allow for any more military intervention in uh, Morocco to sustain that capitalist regime, and his forces are pledged to the liberation of the people of Chad, if the new coalition of Chad does not work out. As you know, the liberation front has temporarily brought a victory for working class people, by forming a coalition government in (pause) Chad, that\u2019s just below\u2013 some of you better be looking at the news, you better get in there and look at the news, you better be listening, \u2018cause you\u2019re responsible for all<\/em> the news till the uh\u2013 the boat time comes, which will definitely come. I can assure you, I can assure you. (Pause)<\/p>\n

It is the opinion (Pause) of the rest of the world, the non-aligned world, that Carter and the rightwing regimes and Arab uh, ri\u2013 rightwing regime like Egypt and Israel is trying to set up their own army alliance, military alliance, uh, a kind of a Mideast NATO, but the Soviet Union will have (draws out for emphasis) no part of it.<\/p>\n

British have made a renewed call for an all-party conference. It\u2019s the only approach, said BBC, or Africa\u2019s going to explode in the fires of war. Ian Smith\u2019s re\u2013 foreign minister [P.K. van der Byl] is taking tough and murderous actions against the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front. They have said that they will torture children, if that\u2019s what it takes, to break the morale of the Patriotic Front. Openly Ian Smith made that statement just yesterday, that we openly torture children, if it was required to uh, get done what they want done. (Pause)<\/p>\n

In a uh, very surprise move, the Hispanics, the Chi\u2013 Chicano-Americans have backed Indian protest leaders. They were su\u2013 received with support. Also, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Puerto Rican, or the Hispanic, congressman [Baltasar Corrada del R\u00edo], in their fight against eleven bills they consider and\u2013 totally fascist that would rob the Indians of their land. Congressman Ron Dellums, Democrat California, giving details of a joint statement by black, Indian, and Hispanic members, said the bills posed a direct threat to the rights of all U.S. citizens, and would wipe out freedom for all, not only those who would be immediately affected. Dellums, who seems to be more\u2013 speaking more since he\u2019s been indicted for income tax \u2013 he was kind of careful a few weeks ago \u2013 Dellums, a Black Caucus member, said the bills would further isolate and destroy<\/em> the identity of single groups of people within his coun\u2013 within our coun\u2013 uh, USA, within their country. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Politicians can make racial slurs on radio. Even if J. B. Stoner (clears throat), Ku Klux Klanner, uses the word \u201cnigger\u201d contemptuously, and \u201cKill niggers\u201d contemptuously, if he said such a phrase in his paid political television ads, the Federal Communications Commission said yesterday it cannot act unless his words are shown to inflame violence. That is a sorry, sorry day, that someone can get on TV and suggest \u201cKill niggers,\u201d call people \u201cniggers,\u201d and if they did it in their own advertisement, there can be nothing USA wants to do about it. That shows USA doesn\u2019t want to do anything about it. Because they certainly didn\u2019t\u2013 they fought us every step of the way, in trying to have free access to amateur radio, which is under their control, for medical purposes. Stoner, a candidate for governor of Georgia, has ads (pause) in the state\u2019s\u2013 all the state\u2019s major television stations that says in part, \u201cIf Governor George Busbee is re-elected, he will pass more civil rights that\u2013 that take from the whites and give to those dirty niggers.\u201d Now it\u2019s been upheld, he can say what he wants to. Milton Ro\u2013 Gross, Chief of the FCC Fairness and Political Broadcasting Division, said the commission cannot enter\u2013 censor a can\u2013 candidate\u2019s remarks, unless they represent a clear and present danger. Uh\u2013 You don\u2019t think hate, Mr. FCC, you don\u2019t think that\u2013 that kind of hate-mongering doesn\u2019t cause a threat, a present threat, that\u2013 to the public, and how are you going to know who incited a riot? But that\u2019s the way they upheld it, that\u2019s their findings. Once the station agrees to sell him time, Gross said he has no choice over the contents of the message. Julian Bond, of the Atlantic\u2013 Atlanta chapter of the NAACP, sent a telegram to the commission Wednesday, warning that if Stoner is not barred from using \u201cnigger\u201d and \u201cKill niggers\u201d on the air, we will be forced to find a candidate to buy time on local stations to use the seven dirty words. Whatever that is. What are the seven dirty words? I\u2013 I\u2013 I\u2013 Whatever they are.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll continue the news\u2013 We\u2019ll continue the news in just a little bit. Thank you very much, and let\u2019s all be very, very friendly. Much love.<\/p>\n

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

Jones:<\/strong> Attention, attention, attention. It\u2019d be go\u2013 good news for you know all over Jonestown, that the Bay Guardian<\/em>, probably the most read, liberal newspaper (clears throat) main reporter has joined Don Freed and Mark Lane, the attorney of fame, and he says he will stay on top of this until we break the conspiracy against Peoples Temple it\u2013 uh, no matter how long it takes, he will use his investigative work and will print<\/em> all the dirt he finds this conspiracy has done for us. We should be really happy over that. (clears throat) Some of you don\u2019t realize how important it is that we get on the right side, and find out who these bastards are. (Pause)<\/p>\n

In an emotional outburst yesterday, protesting American Indians directed\u2013 protesting American Indians directed their anger with Congress and President Carter at a White House side\u2013 aide, with a White House aide, because Carter refused to see them, who sought to explain why they had been unable to see the Chief Executive. As the Longest Walk protest has come to conclusion, some young Indians, angered by a week of futile efforts to see Carter or influential congressmen, waited\u2013 wanted to occupy a House of Representatives office until Carter would agree to meet with the\u2013 with the tribal elders. But tribal elders sought to prevent any violent acts. The group sharply questioned Rick Hernandez, a White House aide, who came to the Rayburn House Office Building to talk with them about their inability to see Carter. Hernandez, a Mexican-American, said he would rely\u2013 relay their messages to Carter, but he did not predict how the president would resign\u2013 would\u2013 would\u2013 would respond, and told them right out that he would not<\/em> meet with them. As tempers flared, Hernandez tried to establish rapport with the Indians by citing his own Mexican-American heritage, indicating he believes that it\u2019s virtually impossible for those who are not members of minority groups to fully understand other traditions and lifestyles. I have to play games with the white men, Hernandez said, as he was confronted by the angry Indians. Fingering the lapels of his suit, he added, I have to wear the white man\u2019s clothes. As for Carter, he said he doesn\u2019t understand the Chicanos, uh, and\u2013 much less the Indians and the Negroes. So, looks like Hernandez will be gone before very, very long. He blew it, he blew it. He was<\/em> a White House aide, but I\u2019ll bet you, he\u2019s had enough, he can\u2019t take anymore. They\u2019ll fire his ass certainly for that statement. Hernandez would not elaborate during the meetings and could not immediately be reached afterwards, but he caused a virtual explosion in uh, Washington, however, uh, which is noteworthy, no press \u2013 none of the major press \u2013 carried his remarks. Quite typical, quite typical. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Dollars hit new lows in Japan and Europe. The dollar plummeted to its lowest postwar value against the Japanese yen and to record lows in Europe yesterday, causing higher prices for Americans at home and abroad, and shrinking U.S. pocketbooks. The dollar\u2019s plunge below the psychological 200 yen, which many economists feel is necessary for economic stability to avoid a complete collapse of capitalism in a depression. In Tokyo, a (unintelligible word) a selling spree in Europe until a massive central bank intervention stemmed the tide. It was the American\u2019s currency worst crisis since January. The dollar troubles had the immediate effect on Ameri\u2013 merican living and travelling abroad, and will lead to an eventual increase in prices on all<\/em> imported goods, including oil for Americans at home. Furthermore, it has made it impossible for none but the rich to really travel outside of the United States. Americans are paying more this year for the same volume of goods they bought last year, said a spokesman for the Ja\u2013 Japan-United States Council. The standard of living is going down. This is a simple effect of the dollar\u2019s decline. Costs are still as high, and not\u2013 if not higher, but the dollar has shrunk and their wages is almost thirty percent less, so you can imagine what kind of pain this is creating. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Uh, another dollar\u2019s drop comment. An example, Undersecretary of the Treasury Anthony M. Solomon said the overall US trade deficit should narrow during the remainder of this year, in part because the dollar\u2019s decline will help boost US exports. Goods valued in US dollars can of course be bought in Japan with fewer and fewer yen day by day. Yet the fact is that US exports are generally lagging. The Com\u2013 Commerce Department says that after discounting for (unintelligible word) inflation, they have not increased at all during the past three years, and, said the commentator Herb Caen, we know what a lie that is.<\/p>\n

Well, uh\u2013 Stand by.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part IV<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (More subdued voice) Attention, attention. Continuing with the commentary of the news. House decides rich need a tax break. Robin Hood in reverse. That\u2019s how a lobbyist from Ralph Nabers\u2013 Nader\u2019s Tax Reform Research Group described the 16.3 billion (Pause) tax cut passed by the House on this last August 10. The measure which now goes to the Senate and also faces the President Carter for a veto, which is doubtful that he will give, gives large income tax breaks to the wealthiest US citizens and ignore all<\/em> lower income people, middle class, poor, black, white, Asian and Indian. Corporations are leading beneficiaries of the last week\u2019s action, with an estimated four billion dollars in savings coming their way in 1979 under the House bill. Nearly two<\/em> billion dollars would be saved through the House legislation by rich investors, who pay capital gains taxes, and of the 10.4\u2013 (Pause) the 10.4 percent to 10.4 billion dollars in personal income tax cuts included in the bill, 70 percent \u2013 closer to 80 percent \u2013 of these savings will go to people making more than fifteen thousand dollars a year.<\/p>\n

Double jeopardy. Working class and poor people will actually be getting two<\/em> black eyes. On top of the new tax legislation, they will have to pay a Social Security tax like next year\u2013 uh, the hike will take place next year, beginning in January. A liberal-led effort to soften the impact of the Social Security measure also fell victim to the \u201csoak the poor\u201d attitude that\u2019s all over the United States, a sentiment that is at the grassroots of the US populace. Losing last week this measure to aid uh, and eliminate the Social Security hike, it lost last week in the House by 384 to 120. A 362 to 49 vote in favor of the lopsided tax reduction plan signified a defeat for the Carter Administration and for congressional liberals of all sorts. Liberalism is dead, said the Manchester Guardian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

President\u2019s initial proposal last winter for a twenty-four and a half billion dollar tax cut, combined with a few mostly symbolic reforms, was absolute discarded and his promises turned to be nothing but bare lies. Early on the\u2013 on by the House Ways and Means Committee, which then proceeded to draft the measure endorsed by the full House last week. The whole House \u2013 now think of it \u2013 362 to 49 has vote[d] to give only the rich the benefits to cut capital gain tax and put more hike on what you have to pay out for Social Security, cutting off Medicaid and Medi-Cal, and some of you still talk of USA as a place you\u2019d like to go. You must have a masochistic complex. Carter has tho\u2013 vow to veto the legislation was pegged primarily to the capital gains component. As backed by the House, this provision would drastically reduce tax payments for people who realize big profits through the sale of stocks, property, or some other large investment. Persons with annual incomes between 20,000 and 50,000 dollars will enjoy about sixty percent of the capital gains savings that result from the sale of a house. Only 12.7 of\u2013 percent of these reductions will go to people earning less than twenty thousand dollars a year.<\/p>\n

The pro-wealth biases of the bill are even more apparent when its other capital gains categories are examined. Nearly all \u2013 98 percent \u2013 of the benefits from these changes in the tax law, will go to those who\u2013 whose income is over fifty thousand US dollars a years. Imagine now, 98 percent. That\u2019s who gets the cap\u2013 capital gains tax, and higher income brackets uh\u2013 they have to be at least fifty thousand or over, while only forty percent of the savings will accrue to the handful of people who make more than two hundred thousand a year. No, sixty<\/em> percent of the savings will accrue to the handful of people who make more than two hundred thousand a year. Out of the 96 percent, sixty percent goes to those making two hundred thousand dollars a year. Whether Carter will actually make good on his veto threat is an open question, but many people think that he\u2019s serious, that he\u2019ll have the same fate that Lyndon Baines Johnson did, being forced to resign, or even being a target for assassination. (Pause)<\/p>\n

By the way, in the future when we have our display, put it right up by the table in the pavilion, so that they\u2019ll be sure to see it that way.<\/p>\n

The pro-wealth biases of the bill are even more apparent, as I said. The Senate is expected to pass a tax cut bill generally similar to the House version bill, although its total may be somewhat higher than the 16.3 billion approved by the\u2013 by the House. How many thousand million in a billion? So you can under\u2013 uh, you can estimate. Sixteen billion would be, what? Sixteen thousand million. It\u2019s a lot of money to go to the rich. And your tax dollars that you worked so hard, \u2018cause 90 percent of all taxes come from people who make\u2013 who make less than twenty percent\u2013 uh, than twenty thousand dollars. A face-saving deal for Carter who last year called the USA tax system a disgrace to the human race, may already be in the works. Senate Finance Committee chairman Russell Long said last week he hopes to fashion a tax bill the President can live with, by giving a House-Senate conference committed to make a few cosmetic changes in the legislation. Carter\u2019s congressional allies may well be able to present the president with a final bill that he would reluctantly sign, but it was too tough. It has not been satisfactory, it didn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n

In a related development that had more to do with the partisan Republican-Democratic policies than with liberal-conservative ideology, the House defeated the Kemp-Roth tax proposal, which is in many ways a federal version of California\u2019s Proposition 13. The bill, sponsored by Representative Jack Kemp, uh, Congressman New York, and Senator William Roth, Re\u2013 Republican Delaware, would slash federal income taxes by 31.9 billion dollars in 1979 and 120.7 million\u2013 billion in 1981. Even though it\u2019s been temporarily stopped, they feel by next session, there will be enough votes to bring about a universal federal Proposition 13. That will mean\u2013 that will mean forty<\/em> percent of America\u2019s work force\u2013 forty percent of America\u2019s work force will have no employment whatsoever. The benefits of this enormous windfall will be felt mostly\u2013 this new Proposition 13 for the entire federal government\u2013 will be felt mostly in the upper income brackets. Kemp-Roth has become a rallying point for conservatives, both Republican and Democrat congressional candidates throughout the nation, and last week, two hundred and for\u2013 240 to 177 vote against it, was seen as basically an attempt by Democrats to defuse the issue. The vote did in fact break down along party lines, with only three Republicans voting against the bill and 37 Democrats backing it. But they think the next session, the Proposition 13 federal law will indeed go through. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Convicted murderer Antonio Pro\u2013 Provenzano, formerly the top officer of a New York\u2013 New Jersey Teamster local, has set up a defense fund to pay for the cost of his trial and appeal. Each of the 10,000 members of Local 560 are expected to contribute ten dollars or a day\u2019s sick pay, 72 dollars, to the fund. Antonio\u2019s done so much for all of us in his forty years of service to the trade union movement, said a letter to each Local 560 members from Robert Luisi, a Local 560 business m\u2013 agent. Provenzano has twice been convicted of embezzling union pension and benefit funds. The request was approved by the current Local 560 leadership. Provenzano\u2019s 23-year-old daughter succeeded him in his post, and four of his relatives are on the local payroll, according to Prod, a rank-and-file organization within the union. Prod demanded a Justice Department investigation of the local. And that\u2019s the kind of capitalistic bossism you have in such unions. There are no free trade unions in the United States. Teamster Union here on\u2013 under the leadership of a big boss, and they still vote for him, no matter what evidence there is that he\u2019s been corrupt and taking advantage.<\/p>\n

Ford Pinto again today profit takes 13 more lives. In a car in Pennsylvania, they were driving along the\u2013 uh, the freeway, and they run into another car. It\u2019s due to the Ford Pinto\u2019s unsafe conditions. Last week, to\u2013 they were to check whether they had fastened\u2013 refastened the cas\u2013 gas cap after stopping at a self-service station a few minutes earlier. The investigation proved that they had. Moments later, a van speeding along the five-lane highway, struck the Pin\u2013 the Pinto from behind. The Pinto\u2019s gas tank exploded on impact like one previously in Indiana, the windshield blew out, and the car rocked to a halt 154 feet down the road. Not only were the people in the car, but in the truck were also caught up and consumed with flames. Thirteen\u2013 thirteen lives. While Big Business goes on and nobody will make them change the matter. The Ford Pinto has become a flaming coffin for uh, hundreds<\/em> of others US motorists and passengers since 1975.<\/p>\n

The deaths of these people that I just mentioned, these passengers from Pennsylvania, could\u2019ve been avoided. Seven years ago, before the two-and-a-half-million Pintos were introduced in the United States market\u2013 uh, market, engineers at Ford were aware that the car gas tank was susceptible to explosion upon impact. Yet Ford managers, Big Business monopoly capitalist Ford managers, decided it would not be cost effective to install nothing more than an eight-dollar car safety modification. They\u2019d first said it was eleven\u2013 It means only eight dollars could have saved all these hundreds of lives that\u2019ve been killed by Ford big giant monopoly capitalist. But that\u2019s too much. They didn\u2019t want lose that much profit. In opting to forego the safety design changes, Ford managers estimated that eighteen hundred people would d\u2013 die as a result every year, with another 180 suffering severe burns.<\/p>\n

The United States Department of Transportation dispatched investigators to Elkhart, Indiana and to Pennsylvania also to impound the Pintos for an investigation. Six people have died of rear-end crashes involving Pintos since the first of this month. A month earlier, under heavy consumer pressure, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ruled that the gas tanks in 1971-1976 Pintos and 1975-1976 Mercury Bobcats, excluding station wagons, were prone to gas leaks and explosions, and would cause death if they had impact with any other vehicle, they would become a flaming inferno. Ford reluctantly agreed that he would discuss the matter, but did not finalize any<\/em> agreement to recall the cars, and uh, to install devices that would only cost eleven dollars per car to shield the gas tanks during colli\u2013 collision. If the US people did not realize how little regard there is for the working class or the poor, or for that matter, the middle<\/em> class that buy the Ford Pinto, this should show them. But\u2013 but the giant car company still refuses to concede that there really is a safety problem. And Congress never makes laws to affect Big Business. They can kill 1800 people in one year\u2013 1800 people one year. If you kill one<\/em>, you\u2019d go to the electric chair. It depends upon who you are<\/em>. That\u2019s the whole issue. If Big Business, you get by with murder. (Pause)<\/p>\n

It seems like that Ronald Reagan is dusting off the running gear and according to the polls, the signs are unmistakable. Ronald Reagan is winning, and ru\u2013 and is running for President. Written off by reason of age, after he nearly took the Republican nomination away from then\u2013uh, Gerald Ford, the ex-Californian in \u201876 governor, and he\u2013 ex-governor is today the commanding figure in a party whose internal machinery has virtually taken over\u2013 been taken over by the forces of the neo-fascist. It\u2019s based, the platform, on racism, separation of children in schools, separation of neighborhoods, where people cannot live in the same neighborhoods if they\u2019re uh\u2013 if they are black or Indian, with whites. President Jimmy Carter\u2019s inability to stop the crisis in US capitalism at home and abroad has made a Rea\u2013 Reagan nomination very, very likely and acceptable to the dominant sections of finance capital, the last stage, uh, as we know, finance capital before it goes into fascism and Nazism, at home and abroad, has made a Reagan nomination up\u2013 acceptable to all elements of the working class and the middle class. At the same time Reagan has been trimming his political sails ever so deftly in order to shed his image as a rightwing neo-fascist extremist. A slight move towards the moderate center is necessary on two counts, to reassure the chieftains of monopoly capital that he would be a responsible chief executive, and to build a broad enough electoral base so that he w\u2013 so that he can win not only the Republicans nomination but the election itself. And pollsters show that he is very likely to win the Republican nomination and undoubtedly to beat Carter, according to the polls right now. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Racist Cleveland mayor, as you know, won a recall vote. Young white racist mayor Dennis Kucinich won because they knew how we are blind to religion, so he called the recall election, the city fathers did, on Sunday, while all of our people were in on their knees or singing with their white gloves and marching up and down the\u2013 the aisles, singing the choirs, and thus, even though Cleveland had a majority of black citizens, they were not there because they were too busy in the house of the (sneers word) Lord. Typically stupid, typically stupid. (Pause)<\/p>\n

University of Maryland. University of Maryland College Park has turned down the appointment of Marxist political scientist Bertram\u2013 Bertell Ollman to chair the die\u2013 department of government and politics. In an increasing wave of repression uh, reminiscent of McCarthy Era, John Toll, university president, withdrew the Ollman appointment on the twentieth of August with the following statement. \u201cI make a determination on the basis of my judgment of the qualifications for a particular appointment of the candidate who has been ap\u2013 have been proposed. I wish to stress that, in my opinion, it would be improper and illegal uh, to base any decision on a candidate’s personal opinions, political beliefs, or religious convictions.\u201d Toll then refused to explain why Ollman was unqualified. He said, ask the Board of Regents. It is now policy across many states, including the Board of Education of Maryland, and in California and in Ohio and Indiana, and I could name many more, where no Marxist can be hired. That wasn\u2019t even true all\u2013 wh\u2013 all\u2013 all the states during the McCarthy Era.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s pretty much the (pause) terrible news, I\u2019d say.<\/p>\n

Cancer-causing chemicals are abundant in all US drinking water. Carcinogens, cancer-causing agents. The rusty cans and the rotted drums have seeped to the surface, turning a chemical graveyard into a health\u2013 lethal nightmare. As a result, the New York State Health Department recently ordered (Pause) a\u2013 a\u2013 all pregnant women and young children to abandon their homes in Love Canal neighborhood, the site of the chemical dump in Niagara Falls, New York. They said that many cities of the major cities of USA also have these dangerous cancer-causing agents, proven carcinogens, have oozed into backyards of many cities and infested the water, the pipe water, right through the uh\u2013 water that they draw for their drinking purposes. Recent tests show that some 182 chempilals\u2013 chemicals dumped in accordance with existing US government regulations between 1930 and \u201953 now permeate most of the waterway\u2013 waterways and canals of every big US city. That\u2019s nice. Get cancer now from drinking water. Wasn\u2019t bad enough to get cancer from eating the chicken with the sodium nitrate, now you\u2019re gonna get it from drinking water<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Well, I guess that is sufficient for you to digest, and read the news closely, because there will be a test. Be to\u2013 prepared tonight. We may have a film. And I think we possibly will<\/em> have a film that you need to study with some closeness. We\u2019ll announce it a little bit later. Thank you, and much love. (Pause)<\/p>\n

I want us to see the Volga, a beautiful picture of the Soviet Union, one of its great rivers, and how they have beautiful life on the Volga. I want that to be seen by everyone tonight. It\u2019s very short, just an hour. And then, uh, those that would\u2013 have be courteous, I\u2019d like you to listen and see the Russian film that\u2019s following. All young people should\u2019ve looked at the Cuban sports events of last night, because they show how they use sports for revolution building. They said, when one asked, why don\u2019t you fight the USA contender. He said kit\u2013 I\u2019d rather have the good will of eight million Cubans who doesn\u2019t approve of brutality in boxing than a million dollars. We don\u2019t need money, we don\u2019t worship money like USA does. So we will have those films. I want all of you to become very firmly acquainted with Russian films, Russian history, and you know why. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Those days of peace in USA, between the racist and even people of their own neighborhood are over in rural areas as well as in cities, said the New York Times<\/em> editorial, and the\u2013 the\u2013 the doors do not stay unlocked, even for part of an evening, not even during the daytime. Suburbs and co\u2013 country areas are in many ways even more vulnerable than well-patrolled urban streets. Some recent police statistics show the crime rate has rise\u2013 risen so dramatically in this year that they can\u2019t even calculate it. It may be, this raise, five to six times. And those already allegedly tranquil areas\u2013 that\u2019s how much of an increase they\u2019ve had. At any rate, the era of leaving the front door for the latch\u2013 or the latch open is over, no matter where you live in the USA. It has been replaced by deadbolt locks and security chains and a loc\u2013 electronic a\u2013 alarm system, and trip wires hooked up to the local police station or a private guard firm. Many suburban families, says the Times<\/em> reporter [Bob Greene], I know have so\u2013 stiding [sliding] glass doors on their patios with steel bars, elegantly built in, so no one can pry these uh, sliding doors. In a poll taken in Buffalo, New York, there was not a person<\/em> that was interviewed that had not either been attempted r\u2013 rape on them or theft or break-in of their houses. Or arson. That\u2019s pretty bad news, when a nation deteriorates that bad. The lock, said the New York Times<\/em>, is the new<\/em> symbol of USA. Indeed, a recent public service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not actuarial charts, but a picture of a child\u2019s bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it. The\u2013 the ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen good, but\u2013 goods, but who<\/em> is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing in our US way of life? Who<\/em> is going to make the psychic payment for the transformation of America, from the land of the free to the land of a fascist lock? For that is what has happened, said the Times<\/em>. We had become so used<\/em> to defending ourselves against the new atmosphere of American life, so used<\/em> to putting up barriers, that we have not had time to think about what it may mean. For some reason, we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected. It does not occur<\/em> to us to ask ourselves, why has this happened? Why are we having to barricade ourselves against our own neighbors of the same color, and fellow citizens, and when in\u2013 exactly did this start to take over? It has taken over. If you work for a medium- to large size-company, you don\u2019t just wander in and out. You now have to carry some kind of access card, electronic or otherwise, that allows you in and out of your place of work, because security guards do not recognize your face. In the apathy and disinterest and lack of love in US society, no one recognizes anyone. You\u2019re just a face without a personality. And this is going to increase. The fact remains that the business you work for feels threatened enough to keep outsiders away via\u2013 via these modern keys.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t always like this. Even ten years ago, most private businesses had a policy of free access. It simply didn\u2019t occur to managers that the proper thing to do was to distrust people. Certainly there were people out there who might have harm in mind. But they were<\/em> the exception. The norm, the people it was assumed would be coming in the building, were presumed to be all right. But no longer. All this is being done in the name of security. That is what we tell ourselves. We are fearful, and we devise ways to lock the fear out. And that we decide is what security means.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why this writer of the New York Times<\/em> feels that we are ready for a dictator who will guarantee our security, what with troops in our streets, and the people would sell out to fascism rather than to be afraid in the night in their sleep. But with this security, we are perhaps the most insecure nation in the history of the\u2013 of civilized mankind. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What better indictment of all that we have become in this new and puzzling time?<\/p>\n
