2-the great speckled bird
altermat
The day following the acquittal of officers J. T.
Hasty and J. M. Colbert a press conference was called
by numerous black organizations in the city. Many
black leaders spoke, including representatives of the
Metropolitan Atlanta Summit Leadership Congress,
the Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Tenants United for Fairness,
and several community residents. The press conference
was held on the comer of Reed St. and Georgia A venue.
Following are the three talks our tape recorder picked
up.
...
Not long ago, August 4, 1970, Andre Moore
walked home from the Tasty Dog drive-in on dimlylit Georgia Avenue, Southeast, about midnight. Up
the street he sees a scuffle in Azar's Liquor Store parking lot, and quickens a bit. It is three officers, questioning a boy, a friend of his, and roughing him up a bit.
"Hey, leave him alone. He didn't do nuthin'.' Andre
Moore is 15 years old. His friend, slightly younger, has
a speech retardation, and can't talk when he's scared
01 excited.
"O.K., you, we want to talk to you." Officers
J.T. Hasty, Jr., and J. M. Colbert stop Andre Moore,
maybe they push him around a little bit, maybe threaten to charge him with armed robbery, or say he's under
arrest, for curfew violation. Doesn't really matter. Moore
breaks free and runs-he lives one block down, on Reed
St., right off Georgia. He yeUs for his sister.
Hasty and Colbert break too, mad now, chasing
him. One of them shoots, and Moore falls, or spins
around. The police report, signed by officer H. F.
Pharr, reads: "Officer Colbert stated he fired a shot,
the victim fell, then, according to these officers, the
victim got up with a large rock, threw it at officer
Hasty. As the subject was throwing the rock officer
Hasty ducked, squeezed the trigger again, the pistol
fired. Shortly after officer Hasty shot, officer Colbert
fired again. The victim ran to 676 Reed S1. where he
fell in the front yard. Was carried to Grady Hospital
where he was pronounced DOA."
Last Thursday, October J 5, officers Hasty and
Colbert were acquitted of all charges against them in
. Fulton County Superior Court before Judge Emeritus
W. A. Foster, of Dallas, Georgia, a city of 2065 in
Paulding County, roughly 30 miles Northwest of Atlanta. The trial took three days. The jury of one white
woman, about 50, and J I white men, ages maybe 456S or even older, took a decent 3~ hours to reach its
decision. None but relatives and friends of the dead
boy and a few press people and court functionaries
paid to be there heard the twenty or so uniformed
and gun-wearing supporters of the defendants cheer
for victory, the verdict their flag.
Just before this time I had been reading the
evening A tlanta Journal, killing time on the hard
court benches, waiting. I read the final installment
of William Creider's series on American war crimes,
from the Phillippines near the turn of the century to
My Lai in the current war. The article is entitled
"Policy Caused Massacre?" It ends with these words:
"Ify~u d(;m't prosecute a man," said one military judicial officer, "then that becomes your policy. If ym:adon't prosecute him, then everybody can do it."
"That is the moral dilemma posed for the nation when the young men of Company C go on trial."
•

•
That officers Hasty and Colbert ever came to
trial surprised a lotta folks. They were indicted a few
days after the killing by a special Grand Jury called
after people marched from Summerhill to City Hall
one night after dark, and summoned vice-mayor Maynard Jackson to call a judge willing to sign the necessary papers. The officers were arrested on the charge
of Voluntary Manslaughter, reduced from the Murder
charge demanded by the people from Summerhill.
'
They were immMiately re¥ase
n
'OWn recognizance, and the Department sus ended diem-with
pay. Summerhill became quiet, but for renewed skirmishes with Don Azar, owner of Azar's Liquor Store,
an affront to the community. The mayor ordered
Azar's closed.for a while, then sent in a hurriedly-converted bookmobile as a "Mobile Precinct," parking
it in the lot between the prized Atlanta Stadium and
Azar's Liquor Store, "to better help and protect the
people."
Very few "facts" were at dispute in the trial,
the main one being whether or not Andre Moore
threw a rock at officers Hasty and Colbert, as they
say, or simply ran, as other witnesses testify. But facts
are of little importance in a political trial, as we have
seen time after time lately. There was no denial that
two white police officers, age 21 and 27, shot a black
IS-year-old in the back and killed him. "Thank God,"
said the white prosecutor. "We live in America, where
our policemen too are requiredto follow the law."
"All of law enforcement allover the world is on trial
here," said white Clyde Henley, lawyer for the defense .
"'Acquitted," said the white lady and gentlemen of the
jury, their peers, assuredly.
-tom coffin
A large delegation of Summerhill people were
at the semimonthly meeting of the Atlanta Board of
Aldermen on October 19, seeking some assurance of
better police practices in the wake of the acquittal of
Andre Moore's killers.
The answer of the Aldermen was the passage of
a resolution approving the psychological testing of
Atlanta police officers. The tests would be given to
all officers, present and future, not as a condition of
employment, but as an aid in placing mentally diseased
officers in jobs where they would do relatively little ,
harm. There was no assurance from the police department that the test results would be used, but the money
for the program will be coming from the federal government, and the measure was approved.

John Shabazz-TUFF:
"We're here with other organizations and other
individuals throughout the city to let the world know
that no longerdo we believe in isolated black problems.
As long as we do we will never solve them. We want the
world to know that when Summerhill has a problem,
all black people have a problem, when Vine City has a ,
problem, all black people have a problem, when any
other area has a problem, we all have a problem. We
c: have people here from Cascade, from Collier Heights.,
~ from Vine City, from all the projects in the city.
We've got representatives from every black group here
§
in this city-every black group, half-black or just partly!""
>. black group is here to protest the injustice, the con~ tinued injustice, to black people in the courts of Amer.:g ica.

"The two policemen who killed Andrea Moore
in cold blood on the streets of Atlanta-not on the
streets of Summerhill, on the streets of America-when
they were not indicted by the Grand Jury for murder,
which was the first injustice, they were released by the
courts yesterday, which was the second injustice. We
no longer will accept these injustices lying down. There
are many of these people you see standing right here
who were in that courtroom and left early, because as
soon as the judge gave his instructions, we knew what
the verdict was going to be. As lon .. as we coatinue to
believe illjustice
white cObftS 1ft.the
place,
we'll always be ill bad shape. As long as we wait for the
white judges on the bench and the all-white juries in
the jury box to do what needs to be done, then we will
be in bad '"Shape.
" ... My contention is this: As long as white
policemen can murder black people and still come
into the black belt and get out alive, they'll continue
to do it; as long as white businessmen can continue to
bleed black people and still come in every morning and
their businesses are still standing, they'll continue to do
it. There W!lS someone around me with a Bible yesterday
in the courtroom, talking "This is going to solve it."
We told her, the only way it's going to solve it is if she
understands all of it, and quit reading just the part that
says "Turn the other cheek," and "Love your enemies,"
and start reading the law that God gave to Moses, "An
eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a limb for a limb,
and a life for a life."
Joi Thompson-NAACP:

"First I would like to say that NAACP is prepared
to go the limit on this issue. We are preparing now for
other legal action, we are preparing now for other direct
action. We want to let our city fathers know that if they
can play Little Napoleon, we can create their Waterloo.
This is it. We are sick. We are tired. We are calling on the
entire community to support this effort.
Jerry Waters-The Flaming Crescent
"We in Summerhill are tired of the people from
downtown coming in controlling our community. We're
tired of the fact that we can be shot down on the streets
for no reason at all. W~ are tired of being stepped on
and walked on right here in this community. So now we
are going to do something."
Reporter: "What, sir?"
Waters: "That I can't say."

(2) Dissent in South Vietnam has reached unpre-
cede.iced proportions. The recent success of the bitter-
On October 7, Nixon made the most peaceful
sounding speech of his presidency. With elections only
weeks away, his attractive sounding proposals elicited
a chorus of approval, even from those in Congress long
critical of the war. Yet though Nixon clearly wishes to
tone down the war, his proposals (I) do not reveal a
plan to end it; (2) contain serious prospects of later escalation; (3) and may have been largely designed to further weaken American opposition to the war.
The key proposal, a stand-still cease fire, seems
immediately attractive for it implies the possibility of
a quiek end to the bloodshed. But that key proposal
a
op the
matters."
But Nixon knew this would be unacceptable to
the NLF. A stand-still ceasefire before a timetable for
withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam and a
political settlement for South Vietnam would mean
that the NLF would have to accept the dominance of
the Saigon regime over just about all of South Vietnam,
when in fact that regime has very little power outside
of Saigon. A political settlement that leads to a ceasefire, as the NLF demands, requires a coalition government in Saigon. A cease fire that leads to a political
settlement, as Nixon demands, will assure the undisputed rule of the shaky Thieu-Ky regime.
The NLF has repeatedly and uncompromisingly
demanded the removal of Thieu and Ky, which would
pave the way for a coalition government, a rapid political settlement of the war, and then cease-fire. Even a
cease-fire with afixed-short-term
timetable for American withdrawal of all forces, including air, logistical,
and clandestine support, would mean much the same
thing. The Thieu-Ky government cannot survive without a prolonged American presence and continued infusions of massive financial, economic, and military aid.
A rapid and complete American withdrawal would of
itself lead to the formation of a coalition government
in South Vietnam by the time American forces had left.
As long as Washington remains committed to
Thieu and Ky, as the NLF points out, the Americans
offer no realistic plan for peace. Since Nixon's "new initiative" is impossible as the basis for real negotiations,
the war will simply go on. The Americans will continue
to seek "victory" and will continue swarming over
South Vietnam seeking to strengthen the allegedly
Saigon-controlled areas.
The war will continue and so will the removal of
American ground troops. But this means the tactics will
shift more and more towards utilizing all the technologies available to do what ground forces were supposed
to do-saturate all NLF-held areas with destruction,
force the guerillas into the jungles and the hills, and
drive the terrorized peasants into govermneht-heid areas.
These technologies are: the most massive aerial
-bombardment in history; the most diabolical arsenal of
anti-personnel weapons designed solely to kill people;
the unprecedented and rapidly expanding use of chemicals to ruin crops and destroy the ecology of the land.
In short, Nixon's military tactics aim at removing hostile peasants from their tradittonal homes by the simple
approach of lethal collective punishment.

The Realities of Indochina
For all the incredible destruction visited by the
US government on the people and lands of Indochina,
for all of Nixon's bland confidence in the "remarkable
success of the Vietnamization policy," the realities in
Indochina are quite different. As so often in the past,
the "defeated enemy" may once again rise up to attack.
That will create the same danger of a crisis-induced
knee-jerk reaction which led Nixon to invade Cambodia.
This possibility increases rather than decreases as
ground troop removal proceeds.
The realities of Indochina are far more determined
by the weaknesses of the "allies" than those attributed
to the other side.
(l) The Thieu-Ky government is as isolated and
detested within "free South Vietnam;' as it has ever
been. At the same time, it faces economic disaster. As
American dollars leave with the troops, inflation soars,
for which the recent devaluation of the piastre is only
a weak palliative. In the last ten months, prices in
South Vietnam have-risen 50%. The black market dominates the economy, which guarantees further worsening of inflation. The poor increase in numbers and
grow even poorer-leaving Thieu and Ky with only
their soldiers and police to suppress the people. Meanwhile the rich are leaving the sinking ship with their
growing European bank accounts.
ly anti-Thieu An Quang Buddhists, despite an election
rigged in favor of Thien and Ky, is but a surface indicator. In Saigon, anti-American feeling is so high that
Americans are afraid to walk the streets. Recently, Ngo
Cong Due, a deputy in the Saigon National Assembly,
predicted publicly there soon would be uprisings in
South Vietnamese cities against the Thieu-Ky regime
and the Americans.
(3) The desertion rate of the South Vietnamese
Army is at one of its highest rates in history. From
8000 a month in 1969,it rose to 12,000 a month during the Cambodian invasion. Corruption remains rampant. Instead of fighting in the remoter provinces, the
South Vietnamese Army is often mainly concerned
with reaching "accomodation" with the Nl.Fs-that
keeps out American bombers and is a more convincing
explanation of the recent slowdown in the fighting than
the "remarkable success" of Vietnamization.
(4) The Lon Nol regime barely hangs on, Phnom
Penh may soon collapse, and the Cambodian countryside is being organized to fight a protracted war. As in
Laos and South Vietnam, massive American air strikes
against Cambodiam villages kill many peasants, but also
drives many more into the Liberation Front.
(5) The situation in Laos is precarious at best.
The government remains in power only through the
American air terror against the countryside and huge
transfusions of American dollars.
Just as Nixon's plan offers little hope for the air
war to end, so too is there little indication that America
~ is willing to end its presence altogether in Vietnam. Lit~ erally hundreds of thousands of non-combatant person'§' nel are to stay. All these conditions provide a pretext
:;os for the US to intervene again and again and again.
Q.
With so many variables involved, crises are to be
expected. There is as yet little indication that Nixon
can accept a general collapse of America's position in
Southeast Asia. That is why the reliance on an even
more intensive use of air power and new targets (the
bombing of the Red River dikes) and the use of tactical
nuclear weapons becomes more, rather than less likely
given the tentative steps already taken to tone down
the war.
Total and Immediate Withdrawal
Until Nixon is willing to discuss a coalition government and to tie a cease-fire to a withdrawal deadline
of all American forces in Southeast Asia, there will be
no peace. His proposal should not divert our attention
from the essential demand: immediate unilateral ceasefire and total American withdrawal. The demand must
be for total withdrawal to insure against the dangerous
tendencies towards expanding the conflict. It must be
immediate because delay only prolongs the slaughter.
Any justification for a prolonged withdrawal justifies
the criminal tactics of the US in fighting this war. And
it must be unilateral, for it is the Americans who are the
foreigners.
Only when the US finally removes the last American soldier', official and clandestine operative from
Indochina, and only when the regimes of Saigon, Phnom
Penh and Vientiane give way to coalition governments,
only then will a genuine peace settlement be reached.

Hundreds of enraged peope-vBtack, brown, whi ,
many gay-gathered in front of the Women's House
Detention in New York's Greenwich Village on 0
13, within a half hour of Angela Davis' arrest in
town motor hotel.
Angela, the revolutionary Black philoso
y professor, who evaded a nationwide police drag t for two
months, had become the third woman in his ory to appear on the FBl's_ten most wanted list when he ~as
linked to Jonathan Jackson's attempt to libe ate several prisoners from the Marin County courtho se. The
guns with which the young revolutionary ar ed the
prisoners were claimed to be-registered in A ela's
name. On that basis, California authorities c rged Angela with murder and kidnapping, even though
e was
nowhere near the Marin County scene.
Prisoners in the grim, ugly, women's jail respo ed to the chants and picketing with clenched fists an
shouts of right on. The sisters and brothers on the street
below, ignoring the lines of helmeted Tactical Police
Force pigs, raised their fists to the silhouetted shadows
in the prison windows and chanted, "Free our sisters!
Free Angela! Power to the people!"
"Power," came yells from the jail.
"Seize the jail! 'Tear it down!" replied the demon-
Defense attorneys pointed out that Angela was
arged here with violating the fugitive statute
as a maximum penalty of $500 and 5 years, and
hat Angela had not participated in the California
but at most might have purchased the guns.
Angela left the room under heavy guard, peoded around her, and one sister called out, "Anlove you. Everybody loves you from coast to
e're gonna free you." Angela smiled,
'd. note: After Angela's arraignment, she was
taken
ck to the Women House of Detention. Later
that n ht, she was suddenly brought down to the of
fice
the US Commissioner where they went through
t: ormality of 'dropping the New York charges of
legal flight to avoid prosecution, cancelling the $250,000 bail and releasing her on her own recognizance.
They went so far in their game as to take off her Federal handcuffs. Seconds later they pulled out the Cal- .
ifomia charges of murder and kidnapping which had
arrived by courier. She was re-arrested, and the state
handcuffs were clapped on her wrists. There was no
bail because murder and kidnapping are capital of
fenses. The New York charge was only used as a holding action to keep her in custody.]

• There are a lot of bleeding hearts around who
just don't like to see people with helmets and guns. All
I can say is go on and bleed ... It is more important
to keep law and order in this society than to worry
about weak-kneed people.
Thus spoke Pierre Trudeau, Canada's swashbuckling,liberal prime minister as he announced the suspension of all civil liberties and declared a state of war in
Canada. Canada's "war" is against the Front for the Liberation of Quebec (FLQ), and comes as a response to
the kidnapping and subsequent death of Pierre LaPorte,
the Labor Minister, and James Cross, the British Trade
Commissioner in Montreal.
Trudeau's proclamation and accompanying regulations set of massive police raids and let to the arrest
of over 250 members and supporters of the FLQ.
Among those arrested were Robert Lemieux, the lawyer who had been representing the Front kidnappers in
negotiations with the Quebec government, Michael
Chartrand, radical chairman of the Montreal Executive
Committee of the Quebec-based Federation of National Trade Unions, and Charles Gagnon and Pierre VaIlieres, avowed members of the Front who were just recently released from prison following conviction on
charges of sedition.
The crackdown has concentrated on known radicals and persons sympathetic to the Front'sgoals
which include a socialist revolution and the separation
of Quebec from British Canada. The arrests have been
chiefly aimed at labor leaders, journalists, professors,
left-wing students and others who have expressed any
kind of radical views. Among those detained have been
two members of the Montreal City Council, one of
whom is a printer, who are running on the ticket of the
left-wing opposition party, the Front d' Action Politiq,
and a former Surete officer, reported to have been discharged from the force for trying to organize a union.
Although government officials have hinted that
the front has within its possession "enough dynamite
to blow up the heart of Montreal" and has planned
"selective assassination:' it seems clear that the ernergency measures taken are not simply to avoid further
terrorism but rather to stitleand suppress any nation
alist dissent in the country. A person arrested under
the emergency powers can be held for at least seven
days without bail. Anyone suspected of being a member of the Front can be arrested without a warrant.
Most of the 250 persons arrested in the hours following the proclamation are being held for at least 90 days
without hope for bail, and with no charges pending
against them
The War measure has previously only been used
during World War 1 and ll-never in a time of peace.
Trudeau (flamboyant as ever, wearing a carnation),
when presenting the proclamation to parliament, appealed for support on the grounds that there was no
other instrument available to help Quebec through its
crisis.
The proclamation came eleven days after the
kidnapping of Cross by a cell group of the FLQ. Five
days later when the government had refused negotiations for his release, another cell group kidnapped
laPorte. Members of the Front were demanding the
release of 23 political prisoners (many of whom have
been jailed on sedition charges), safe passage for all
prisoners and kidnappers to Cuba or Algeria, the payment of $500,000 in gold, the rehiring of Montreal
postal-truck drivers who lost their jobs in a union post
office dispute, and disclosure of an informer in a police case involving the separatist group.
The FLQ also released a statement at the time
of the kidnapping affirming-their support and solidarity with other liberation movement: "With these kidnappings the FLQ wants to underline its revolutionary
solidarity with all countries who are fighting against
economic, social and cultural holds of the Americans
throughout the wo,dd-in other words, an unconditional support to the- revolutionary movements in Latin
America and Palestine-support
for American Blacks
and all the people of Africa and Asia who are working
for their liberation."
Quebec separatists are based primarily in urban
areas, particularly in Montreal and Quebec City. The
English account for only one-sixth of Quebec's population, yet earn more than the French and hold a disproportionately large number of middle- and high-salaried

Something For Everyone is The Damned transformed; the chill surreal terror of Machiavellianism in
that epic of diabolism is muted to an ironic snickering undertone here; the viewer is lured into an empathy
with the difficulties of being a successful monsler in
bourgeois Bavaria.
The plot is too delightfully executed to reveal,
but is tight as that of Z. The acting ranges from good
to excellent: Angela Lansbury and Michael York are
nearly perfect in their roles, and are ably supported
by Jane Carr and Anthony Corlan. Director Harold
Prince is particularly adept at subtle symbolic undertoning (Conrad's butler uniform, his monastic cell of a
room) but earns for his only major symbolic sequence
(Conrad among the candles) an impact rarely matched
by his restraint from overt symbolizing in the rest of
the movie.
Notable is the presentation of homosexuality;
for the first time in any movie I have seen, it is Ireated
as something normal that happens between human beings, on the same level as other sexual affairs in the film
rather than as a perverse sideshow-to straight life.

The Bottom of the Barrel was the scene of an
amazing night of music last Friday when, with the full
moon in Taurus blasting away behind them, Chakra
and assorted friends got it on in one of those performance that happen once in a great while.
The evening opened looking like the group would
have to do without their lead vocalist, Deborah McColl,
ill with a sore throat. So a trio with Ted Levine on
drums, Stray Straton on bass, and Jimmy Godwin on
guitar feil into a long instrumental jam that was
superb in both craftsmanship and communication.
Obviously they had 'been working together hard
for a good while. Levine, whose understanding of
drums has reached the point where his rests are
as expressive as his beats, sustained the pace with
fantastic drive and precision through several time
changes without misplacing a lick. Godwin took
off in long soaring jazz-rock lines that built one
on top of another. Stray was the perfect complement, running the exactly right bass line behind
the guitar and filling holes with unexpected but
beautifully appropriate jazz chords. It sounded
like they have been listening to Coltrane. with
great benefit. Straton is a natural inventive
genius on bass, but his feeling for jazz phrasing
and inflection carried over into the short vocal
break .he took, too. I flashed on Mose Allison,
in fact, Godwin took a harp berak which was

your Plates, why it is Nothin to the Kind of Time you
can Waist in coundy Bastilles out in South Nosepick.
Wow sed Signifyin Sam that is Indeed a neat an
Logical solution to a Difficulty with which Many people have found themselves Faced; an the Beaudy part
of it is that without no Licent Plaits why these denizens of all these Outlying Provinces will get theirselves
Bustid by the Local Atlanta Polices an we will hev a
Chance to return some of their Hospitality.
I do not think of This Aspect before says the
Young Dude, but it adds a certain Zest to my Quest.
On the Other Han.muses signifyin Sam, I am
not sure that the Efforts of the Brave Traffic Officers
of the Outlying Provinces should not Be incouraged.
What do you Mean says the Young Dude lissen
they will Bust you if you have not Did nothin just iffn
you are Bearded or Black or Longhair an do not Hev
the Local Licent Plait why off you go you do not Hev
to do Nothin.
Right says Sam an sometimes You do not Even
hev to be Bearded hey or nothin jus that Out of County
Licent Plait will Do it.
Year says the Young Dude an how can you Defen that?
Lissen says Signifying Sam iffn these folks Keep
this Up why it will be less an less People which Dare to
drive ou t of their Own County; lissen priddy soon bein
in the Wrong County will be a prima facie case an Intercounty traffic will Dwindle to a shadow of its Former

be Fit to Breathe again.
Wow says the Young Dude Ido not think of that
Aspect: an Another aspect is that What I am doin to

down a little from his guitar work, but it didn't
matter at all-the music all around it was practically
giving off sparks.
Well, that jam set the tone for the evening
as Deborah, managing somehow to show up after
all, and Ron Norris, lead male vocalist, joined the
Trio for a regular Chakra set. The Barrel is a good
acoustic showcase for medium-volume, together
music, and that's what Chakra played. Except for
a number or two by kfferson Airplane and
Crosby, Stills, and Nash, plus their version of Buffy
Sainte-Marie's "Spinning Wheel" (now climbing
the pop charts as they say), tile songs and arrangements were all Chakra's, all good hard rock and
all rightly done, even if tending overall just a
bit toward sameness and Airplane-ness. Miss
McColl sang with power and control, and again
the timing and communication were excellent, with
every musician aware of where everyone else's
head was at.
Deborah's voice was going for good by this
time, so the rest of the evening was given over to
jamming by Chakra members and various colorful
musician frieads of theirs who happened to be
in the house. Tom Tollerson sang imd accompanied
himself on acoustic guitar, then Godwin and Straton
joined Murray Solomon on drums and Robin Conant
on second guitar in a long amorphous jam that produced a good lick here and there and looked like
a lot of fun. Following that Bruce Hampton. who
had been lurking in the audience with his Silvertone,
was persuaded to get onstage. Ted Levine resumed
the drummer's stool and Stray switched his bass
for standard guitar while Shel Hall took over bass
chores, and the group launched themselves into a
truly down-home rendition of Luther Allison's
"Chicago Blues." Hampton, fresh from freaking
out 12,000 people in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with
his "Grease Band," played J.B. Hutto-inspired
guitar, trading licks and vocals with Straton.
Hall played steady bass, throwing in a groovy
little boogie for his solo, and Robin Conant added
a taste of harp to the brew. The audience gazed
on with glassy eyes as Hampton, careening about
the stage, leering and grimacing like Howlin' Wolf
and picking with fingers, teeth, and elbows all at
once, spiralled to a crescendo of treble notes and
madness. The act was a spectacle for both ears
and eyes and certainly put the cork in the bottle
for the evening.
It sure would be nice if more musical feasts
like this began to happen down at the Barrel.

Agents
Eye Drags-
not Drugs
Last Thursday night there was a very strange
smell in the air-like freshly-cut "grass," but the
more I thought about it, the more I realized there
were sharper undertones involved than met the eye,
er, nose. Was I really Alice in Wonderland, Pharaoh's
daughter, the fairy godmother, or the metamorphosis
of Diamond til. Nothing could be explained; nor,
was anything clear to me. The smelI became more pungent. It wasn't the regular pig slop, which was, oh, so
familiar, but a deep woodzy sort of smell. Suddenly,
a belle sang, er, rang, loud, but clear to me. A flash
"floated" through my mind from my early girlhood.
I wasn't high on wine, but pine-straight from the
Georgia woods, brung in by the agents (narcs, nontheatrical-damn
it).
Well, my only interest was in getting the Bird
distributed. I found out, much to my bereavement,
that their only interest was in a bust (mine, that is).
Although I was trying to encourage them in a particular tale, their prime interest was in trying to get the
feel of one! A "fellow" showman came over to me
and whispered that the agents were also looking for
dangerous arms. They found one pair-mine, which
were seized quickly, but quietly, and lowered down
to a matched pair (well, you guessed it) of loins, belonging to an agent straight out of the 1950s, right
down to the crew-cut. He asked, "How much?" I
replied gently, but forwardly, "Two-bits!" He grabbed
my tits and announced, "I'll buy!" I retaliated, "I'll
NEVER sell!" Suddenly, my exposure needed composure. I was hustling the Bird. His, I could not use,
although he shot me one, as I made my exit gently,
yet gracefully. Although these guys profess they have
one thing on the ball, one might question whether
they have two. I was certain I was hiding a hell of a
lot more than they were showing.
I believe a highly commendable discovery of
hidden contraband was made, however, by the gents
in the grey-checkered suits (obviously from Zayre's,
three big stores in one). No grenades, cannons, bazookas, or swords were tound; neither were there
pills, grass, points, syringes, or any hard drugs uncovered. The only thing hard core in the house might
have been found in the investigators' pleated trousers,
while they played the old game of "pocket pool" as
Deserie stripped. However, all was not considered a
loss. Their expedition wasn't in reality a drag, but the
discovery of it-as proclaimed by one of the waiters
who overheard the remark, "My God, I had my arms
around another man!" Oh, Goodness, Golly, Gee-his
masculinity was shot all to hell and what would wifey,
dear; at home think of this madness? It "hurted" me
to my heart, as I painted on new lips and ruffled my
skirt.
I
It was clear that these "boys" had gone all the
way through finishing school, because it was apparent
that they were fmished from the start. Perhaps their
bag would be more in keeping with joining Lester in
a cup of tea (correction, warm milk) and throwing
chicken bones to the yard dogs, while setting on the
columned piazza of the rnillion-dollar henhouse located on Paces Fairy Road. They could tell one t'uther
'bout .the good 01' days-'bout romping through the
~or~a woods playing 'round with their "fishin' poles"
ill then hands, while trying to catch some "real fish "
rather than them old 'personators on the stage of that
high-falootin Club Centaur, where all them 01' longhaired weirdies congregate all over the pavemint.
This isn't the first time that the hunters have
been "captured" and/or foiled by one of the oldest
"games" in history, and once more it is proven that no
one can be as lovely ,as this tree (not even Georgia pines,
or unreasonable facsimiles from them); but then remember, no one can be as bright as a "star."

Chairman Lao, who wrote the Tao Teh Ching, observed that little rivulets, by seeking a course through
low and empty gullies, manage finally to combine as a
swift-running river that nothing can stop. He observed
that without empty centers, wheels could not be used
for hauling anything and that the empty part of a bowl
is the part that makes it useful for holding food.
High trees, he noticed, invite their own cutting
down. And while majesty and grandeur may be the attributes of the mountains, all energy is really stored in
the emptiness of the c.anyons and the valleys, where rivers flow and plants, animals, and people prosper.
Socially, too, it is down among the people-not
up among the rulers and potentates in their seeming
splendor-where the real energy for change forever remains, waiting only to be released.
No amount of action, however well organized,
can force rivers to dash upward; along the sides of mountains, carrying boatmen to the peaks thereof. And, anyhow, the great majority of life forr~s will nev.er choose
to thrive in the thin air and cold climate of high mountains.
But when a great mountain happens to block the
path of a swift river, the river runs around it an~-!n
time-wears it down, until the day comes when It IS no
more than an island in mid-stream, if it survives at all.
Likewise, said Chairman Lao, "The powerless can
prevail over the mighty and the gentle can survive the
strong." If only the people will rely on the strategy
which is natural to them, and not attempt to imitate
the tactics of their rulers.
What if, today, the people stopped fighting the
power freaks-except defensively-on fields of battle
chosen by the opposition: the voting polls, the legislatures, the courts, the steps of city hall, and even the
streets?
What if, instead, they started sweeping through
the empty places? Through the holes in this patchedtogether system? Like so many rivulets?
What if they started following these five steps to
freedom?
1. SUBJECTIVE LIBERATION: Showing that liberation from oppression is desirable and possible. Getting people's heads out of the system. Turning them on
-not only with psychedelic chemicals in supportive
settings, but with acid rock, tribal gatherings, encounter groups, word trips, free schools, mindfucking stunts,
and playful mystique? Not just young people, either.
Everybody who can be reached on any level whatever!
Let's have an international happening and invite the
world.
.
LNS
4. CREATIVITY EXCHANGE: Innovating systems of credit so exchange among free peoples can take
place without money and its interest, tax, and inflation
rip-offs. Divising ways of phasing out con artists and authoritarian infiltrators, so they find themselves out of
touch with an essentially invisible network of transactions. Designating locations for actual exchanges of
goods and services to take place behind Greyface's back.
2. ECONOMIC JUDO: Getting self-reliant on the
material plane, and teaching everyone who will listen
how you did it. Learning to get your own food from
the sun and the soil, both by growing it and by foraging.
Learning basic medical skills. Finding "squat spots"
where you can live inconspicuously from time to time
without being hassled, or going nomadic on land or
water. Finding out about generating your own electric
power from windmills and such and learning to make
soes or clothing, or getting into some other pre-industrial trade. Then, when you acquire the right mix of
skills and equipment to live this way, without money
and untaxable-DON'T
DROP OUT! Stay in and fight
with the confidence that you are immune to Greyface's
economic blackmail!
3. RESPONSIVE REVOLT: Consciously wiring
up the "nervous system" of the counter-culture. Building parallel systems of communication and bug-proofing or liberating those which already exist. Pirate radio
stations, really UNDERGROUND underground papers
that are printed in secret locations and purchased from
your local grass dealer, "random noise" radio codes
that sound like static to the unaware,nomadic postal
runners, etc.
-5. OBJECTIVE LIBERATION: Learning and
teaching skills and methods by which the liberty seized
by the above means might be held against every sort of
coercive usurpation on the part of public agents Or private criminals. Camouflage, raid prevention, authoritarian psychology, unarmed fighting arts, defensive weaponry, mutual emergency-aid contracting, and "liberty
or death" pills for those preferring suicide to re-enslavement.
Turned on, but not up against the wall. Spread
out, but not out of touch. Self-reliant, but not selfcentered. Friendly, but not to be fucked with.
Think about it. Many people already have.

speech, to the banquet of the Association of College
Unions International conference at Tech and then
rested briefly while the waiter lids cleared off the ta~.
bles and set up the chairs and then he played the speech
over again to a thousand-odd Tech students from 9: 30
until half past eleven or so; and now, still fresh and animated, was into a press conference, following which he
would head for the Tech Afro-American house to rap
with the brothers.

Once, in another life (nice Jewish girl from New
York, just graduated from college, about to launch
brilliant career) I travelled in Israel for a summer. I
stayed on a kibbutz and picked grapes and peaches
and dug the whole scene; the communal dining hall
and children's houses; the pioneer-farmers, rifles at
their sides, who had unearthed enough prehistoric
artifacts to fill their own small museum. Using the
Bible as a guide book, I reached out to touch the walls
on either side of a narrow street in Nazareth-a street
that hasn't changed much-except for the Coca Cola
stand-since Jesus walked down it. Wandering in the
Mea Shearim section of Jerusalem, I tried to cornprehend in what sense the strange people there, in their
long black costumes, are kin to me. I disdained the
American tourists who complained of the service at
the posh Tel Aviv hotels, and joined them, weeping,
at the Anne Frank memorial to the six million.
I did see things which conflicted with my liberal outlook. I stood on the shore at EIath, looking
across the Gulf to its twin city, Jordimian Acaba,
and bemoaned the wasted duplication, the millions
spent on armaments to keep two economies separated:
two economies where there should be one. And I
asked embarrassing questions: Why are all the dock
workers and other laborers dark-skinned Moraccan
Jews and Arabs? Why are all the ditch-diggers and
workers on the roads dark-skinned Yemenite Jews
and Arabs? Why do the socialist kibbutzim join in
the exploitation of this labor? Why do the Arab villages
live under military rule? Why are crucial civil right
denied Palestinian Arabs who remained onder Israeli
rule? My friends, who were members of Mapom, the
left, Socialist Zionist Party, had high-minded answers:
"It's just that the oriental Jews have not yet acquired
the skills of our technological (read Western) economy.
As soon as they do, they will be integrated, or their
children will be. After all, we cannot allow our country
to become Levantine." "It's just that peace has not
come yet. As soon as it does the Israeli Arabs will become full citizens."
And I answered, "But you are Levantine, or
you should be. It is you who should be integrated:
into the Middle East."
So I saw that I am not a Zionist, and I cam home
to my brilliant career.
Now, in this life, I know that liberation is not
achieved without struggle. If a system requires a pool
of cheap labor to exploit, it will not be changed by
asking the exploiters to cease their evil ways, or by
the economic ladder that is the American system. And
where is the Jewish rung? In suburbia, of course (or at
least on the suburban fringes of large cities) where all
"good" white people are sent to reap the dubious rewards of having undertaken the climb up the ladder
in the first place.
Some of us spend much time at the Jewish communal places, such as they are, where we try to talk
about how, as long as that ladder exists, those who oppress the people on the rungs below them will be equally oppressed by those on the rungs above them; about
how it is that the Jews of America remain a marginal
people, as do all ethnic minorities; about how it is the
responsibility of the Jewish community to help Jewish
merchants get out of Black ghettoes, and to see to it
that there are no Jewish slumlords and segregationists;
about why so many Jewish young people are rejecting
a brand of religion that is irrelevant to the real struggles .
of our time, and what the community might do about
it. And a dialogue of sorts, strained and tenuous as it
may be, is often establihsed, until the inevitable moment when someone in the room asks: "And what is
your position on Israel?"
Now that question is a trap, because the person
who asks it recognizes only two possible positions:
the position he or she attributes (equally) to EI Fat'h
and all the Arab states (namely, that "all the Jews
will be pushed into the sea"), and the position he or
she views as the only "Jewish" position (namely, the
rigid, militaristic, morally and tactically indefensible
stance of the present Israeli regime).
The very inevitability of that question arid the
fact that it admits of only two responses lie at the
heart of what is wrong with our system. A rich cultural heritage based on a prophetic religious tradition
has been largely forfeited to the American melting pot,
to be replaced by an uneasy, guilt-ridden quasi-loyalty
to a foreign state. It is a blind loyalty-one which
forces Amerikan 'Zionists' into the absurd positions
of favoring disestablishmentarian religious liberty here,
while defending the existence of a theocracy in the
Middle East, of attesting to the survival ~f the Jewish
people through two millenia of "dispersion" from their
homeland, while denying the existence and rights of
the Palestinian people after their twenty-five years or
less as refugees.
From what does this uncritical loyalty of "Zionists in America stem? (I put the word in quotes to
indicate that the people to whom I refer actually have
no serious desire or intention to emigrate to Israel.)
When pushed, most of the same people admit that
their defense of Zionism is based on a real fear that
America would produce another wave of anti-Semitism
from which they could take refuge in the Jewish state.
That this fear is real, however, is no reason to allow it
to go unchallenged. For the 'refuge' theory is a dangerpretending that the exploiters do not exist. If I was

SEPTEMBER 25 was the sixth anniversary of the
first uprising of the people of Mozambique against the
Portuguese colonialists. Since then a full-scale armed
war of liberation, conducted by 10,000 men and women backed by a people's militia, has developed. On
the anniversary, FRELIMO (Frente de Libertaeao de
Mocambique) announced one-fifth of the nation has
been liberated and two provinces are under its effective
control.
In June, the Portuguese, backed by 35,000 troops,
15,000 tons of military equipment and auxiliary units of
marines, "special hunters," commandos and air force
units, launched an attack on the province of Cabo Delgado, believed to be the stronghold of FRELIMO. The
patriots defeated the action.
The New York Times reported Blacks in Mozambique suspected of nationalist activities "are arrested or
simply detained under administrative sanctions for undetermined periods." In Mabalane alone, the report
said, it is believed some 1000 Blacks are being held in
prison without trial.
On September 16 Hsinhua reports, six junior officers who deserted the Portuguese army held a press
conference in Stockholm, Sweden and denounced the
Portuguese slaughter of the African people. They said
in 1968 alone some 15,000 youth either evaded the
draft in Portugal or became deserters.
THE 19 BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS acquitted
in the "terrorism" trial on September 14 and released
from 17 months in jail, have been placed under new restrictions: Winnie Mandela and Elliott Goldberg Shabangu wE;replaced under house arrest and the other
17 "banned" for five years. The first penal ty forbids
leaving the home between 6 pm and 6 am, receiving visitors or engaging in political activity. The second forbids leaving home, speaking to more than one person
at a time, writing, being quoted in the press, traveling,
studying at a university, attending, gatherings of over
two persons, attending theater or church services, etc.
7500 VIETNAMESE REFUGEES in Cambodia
"disappeared" after planes bombed "around" the camp
where they were "concentrated" to keep them from
aiding the "enemy." "First accounts of the incident
came from Vietnamese refugees from Bak Preah
.
A dozen men and women interviewed at random
.
told the same story. They said fighting between government and 'enemy' forces broke out near the village the
night of September 12-13 ... The next day, planes
started shooting and bombing around the fleeing refugees .... The refugees maintained they had never seen
a 'vietcong' or North Vietnamese soldier in their region .
. . . Although South Vietnamese officials offered to
take them to South Vietnam, only seven refugee families [430 people remained out of a total of 8000 in the
camp] signed up. The rest want to stay, hoping to return to-their villages around Bak Preah when the war is
over."
THE US WILL SOON RELOCATE its B-52
bombers from Okinawa, which now serves as a base for
bombing flights over South Vietnam. In 1972 the island
is to be turned over to Japanese control, but US Undersecretary of State Alexis Johnson has told Congress
that if the Vietnam war is still going on then, the US
will maintain its military use of the island. The US faces
two problems on Okinawa: mass recurring demonstrations by the Okinawan people against the US presence
and what to do with the hundreds of tactical nuclear
weapons on the island that must be removed by 1972.
The US has not acknowledged it has such weapons on
the island, but officials have said they believe them to
be stored there. On September 11 some 21,000 Japanese workers staged a 48-hour strike at over 70 US bases
protesting work speed-up and harassment of workers
by US military authorities. At Kadena air base, the
largest, workers clashed with police and some 500 students joined in picketing.
THE MEXICAN ARMY arrested 25 students who
occupied a building in downtown Guadalajara September 30. The students were protesting the death the day
before of five students who were killed in a gun battle
with police at the Polytechnic school. ... Some 1600
workers struck an explosives-making factory on September 26 in demand for higher pay. The company is
ownedby DuPont.

THE LIBYAN PEOPLE celebrated the first anniversary of their revolution in September. On the 18th
the government stopped aid payments to Jordan, saying
it would not support the attempts to "mop up our
Palestinian revolution."
16-the great speckled bird
For example, I was sent to college, not to gain
knowledge that was important to me, but to be a more
refined and educated lady-so I'd be more acceptable
and my chances for marrying would be better. I was
told that my college experience would help my husband
in the business world. Arid, my parents thought I'd surely be able to find a man "with potential" in college. I
believed what they told me because it was the same
thing I'd heard all my life-GET THAT MAN. So, none
of my learning was for my benefit. Even though I was
really interested in some of the courses Itook, the man
in my life came first and my feelings for him pushed
everything else in second place.

e,
I sit by the phone. It doesn't ring-but I sit
. there anyway. I have a meeting to attend-one that
I was interested in-but I'm not interested anymore.
I have studying to do-I really enjoy my courses this
semester-but I can't open a book. Several friends
invite me to a movie-I enjoy their company-but
I don't go. Ijust sit there, incapable of functioning, even though I have many things to do.
Finally the phone rings. It's him and he's sorry
he called so late, but he got into an interesting rap at
dinner and got so involved in the conversation that he
forgot about the time. He can't come over because he
has an important meeting-but he loves me and he'll
see me tomorrow. We hang up-he enthusiastically goes
off to his meeting and 1 sit there wondering what to do.
I don't feel like doing anything-so Ijust sit there feeling lonely, empty and bored.
This happened to me. I don't think it'll atypical
because I've seen many, many other girls go through
the same thing. I think that this experience says several things about the socialization of females and how
it affects their outlook on life. First of all, experiences
like this happen because girls are taught from a very
early age that getting and keeping a man is of prime
importance in their lives. We are conditioned to this
for such a long time that we actually believe that this
is our "destiny."
Women are exposed to almost all things that
could make life interesting and meaningful. But, at the
same time, society demands that we take only superficial interest in them-if we take any interest at allbecause they may make her unacceptable to men. (You
know, "don't be smarter than a man"-"always let him
come first" - "find out what interests him so you'll
have something to talk about")

Something else that happens to women because
of their GET-A-MAN socialization is that it affects their
relationships with other women. As I said above, I enjoyed being with my friends, but I'd rather be with, or
talk to, my boyfriend. The only time I spent large
amounts of time with women was when I wasn't dating
anyone steadily-and then our relationships centered
around talking about men. As soon as we started dating
someone, our friendships more or less fell apart.
All of this points to one thing: women are socialized to have no identity of their own, but to live
through a man (and eventually their children). Even
when she is surrounded by things that could or do interest her, these things are pushed into second place
while she focuses most, if not all, of her attention on
getting and keeping a man. And, she will give up her interests for him-that is, if she has any other interests
at all.
In contrast, a man usually feels that a wide range
of interests is important in his life. And, usually, he does
not have to give them up for a girl. In other words, she
is part of his life while he is all of her life.
I believe-that it is wrong to channel women to be
wives and men to be people. This oppressive socialization has to be stop~d 110 tllat wom~n wij.l ~ ~e to
develop themselves and find their own identities. Then,
and only then, can women live a life that is meaningful
to them as individuals and as members of a productive
society. Women's liberation points theway to a longneeded change-a change that will make a more meaningfullife for all people.

Dear Bird Women,
1banks for that TeIIl, poignant women's issue of
the Bird,October II, 1970. It's the only issue of which
I've read every word of every article. Becky Hamilton
wrote of your strugle in a can~d style and now your
victory is evident for all to read. 1 am especially grateful for the interviews with Nannie Washburn and Eleanor Bockman. 1 believe that older radical women have
a sincerity and determination cultivated through the
trials and errors Df life which we younger women can
aspire to and learn from. You brought them to the stage
and put the drama of their lives before me in a real and
enriching personal style. Thanks for spotlighting them.
The poem by Beulah Richardson entitled"A
Black Woman Speaks of White Womanhood" is must
reading for any woman who wants to understand how
black and white women have a common cause even
though reared with cultural differences. White women
must deal with racism as well as sexism, because the liberation of all is tied up in both kinds of oppression.
My appreciation to Anne Mauney and Anne Romaine
for posing these vital questions of racism/sexism to
Southern women.
The coverage in the paper is broadly inclusivePalestine, black, poor white. The poetry and photography are good. It is an exciting, alive issue.
MORE POWER TO THE WOMEN!

Palestine
Dear Editor,
There has been an overwhelming mass of reporting of news, editorial opinions and official pronouncements about the Arab .Palestinian conflict with Israel,
most of which has been consistently favorable to the
aims and actions of Israel. It has become increasingly
necessary that the Palestinian case be presented so
that a fairer balance of understanding be received by
the American people. Suzie Teller and Gene Guerrero's "Palestinian Report" (October 4 and 11, 1970)
provided a first hand account of the Palestinians and
their ca
d gave your readers a fresh appraisal
from wilt&:
reach a more rational and objective
decision.
1 am a Palestinian refugee whose land has been
acquisitioned, whose friends and relatives killed or
displaced, and whose people have been expelled from
their country. We have waited for justice for too
long, hoping that either the Arab Nations would restitute our lands or that world opinion through the
UN would remedy our plight. However, it is evident
now that none can attain us our rights but ourselves.
No one denies that the Jews should have a home
land in Palestine, but neither can one deny that
the Arab Palestinians have the same right particularly since more than 92% of the land is theirs and
they have occupied it for over 1000 years. We are
willing to negotiate a "modus vivendi" with the
Jews and form a democratic state where Christians,
Jews and Moslems can live in coexistance. However,
. Israel's uncompromising attitude, strengthened by
the West's surreptitious support, has availed us
(Palestinians) no alternative but an armed struggle to
recapture our homeland, since we shall not accept a
fate of eternal banishment from our country.
Sincerely yours,
Abu Hanna

Leary
r,-
Dear Bird-people,
I definitely agree, like Leary, that a revolution is
necessary. But why must it be a violent one? Can't we
change their heads instead of removing their head? The
reasons for nonviolence are countless. To mention just
a few: If it's wrong for them to wage war against Vietnam, against Freeks, against Blacks, why is it right for
us to wage war against them? (2) As long as I hold a
gun on my enemy he is going to be constantly trying to
figure out a way to get revenge, but if I change his head
then I've got one more on my side and one less on his
side; (3) man is above all animals because he has the
ability to think and reason thus he must not let himself
resort to the beastliness of violent protest, he must use
his powers of thought and reason to think of better
ways (peaceful ways) to obtain his goals.
I also wonder about Leary's ways of reasoning,
for while some of his thoughts are contradictory, others
just don't make sense. He asks us to "resist publicly, an- .
nounce life ... denounce death" yet at the same time
he advocates a violent revolution. He states, "We begged
you to live and let live, to love and let love, but you
~
(Nixon) have chosen to kill and get killed. May God have
mercy upon your soul" (while I shoot you down).
Again I say if it's wrong for Nixon to kill why is it right
for us to kill?
Leary also says "Listen. There is no compromise
with a machine. You cannot talk peace to a humanoid
robot whose every Federal Bureaucratic impulse is soulless, heartless, lifeless, loveless." One of my own brothers was convinced that we needed a violent revolution,
he had read and agreed with Rubin's "DO IT!" (which
advocates violent revolution); BUT AFTER taking part
in the Kent State protest he was convinced that we must
use peace to obtain peace.
In conclusion I say: Peace won't come at the
point of a gun, It'll only bring fear & that's already here.

It may not be of much interest to you, bu t I am
a prisoner at Woodward Academy, outside of Atlanta.
A bummer. They busted me and wouldn't let me off
campus for three weeks. The fucked up thing about it
was Iwas smoking oak leaves with a kid who's Tim
Leary's nephew. I told the necks on my hall it was grass
and they believed me and finked to the Dean. Next

What a fucked situation.

jobs. English residents reside in houses or new apartment buildings on the west side of the city; French
Canadians and immigrants live on the east in tenements
and cramped duplex houses on the west.
The English, who comprise 43.8% of the Canadian population, run all of Canada's biggest banks, most
of the insurance and securities houses, and the country's largest conglomerate, the Canadian Pacific. The
French, who comprise 30.4% of the Canadian population, account for nearly all of Quebec's chronically unemployed which usually averages near 15%.
The Front for the Liberation of Quebec is only
one is a broad spectrum of organizations that support
a separate French government in Quebec. A more moderate separatist group, the Parti Quebecois, drew 24%
of the vote in last spring's provincial elections. Over
the past year large and sometimes violent demonstrations have been held in Montreal. Since 1963, the FLQ
has been credited with several armed robberies and intermittent bombings-much on the style of the Tupamaros in Uruguay.
The government has responded to the growth of
the separatist movement by outlawingdemonstrations
without official permission, a no-knock law in effect in
Quebec has allowed police to search and enter homes
of left-wingers at will, and the sedition law has been
used more and more frequently to harass and jail activists. The recent proclamation of a state of war emergency could mean the suspension of all political freedoms for at least six months. The law will apply to
members of the FLQ (no proof of membership is needed), anyone who aids them, or communicates statements ontheir behalf, i.e. lawyers. Those convicted will
be subject to five years in prison and a $5000 fine.
Somebody should crush Trudeau's white carnation.

jl
I spent a jnonth traveling in Lebanon and Jordan with a
group of American movement people. There we learned
about the Palestinian revolution.
ow newspapers report
that at the refugee.camps near Amman, bulldozers are
preparing mass graves for the thousands of mutilated
and burned victims of Jordan'S' "civil war." Into those
graves will be tossed the bodies of people I siniled with,
talked with, touched, took color slide pictures of, less
than a month ago. The Palestinians do not want to exchange places with the Israelis. They do not want to
put Jews in refugee camps. But they did not expel the
Jews from Spain, kill them in Russian pogroms. or gas
them in Nazi ovens, and yet, in a very real sense, they
are paying for those crimes. The Palestinians have become the wandering Jews of the Middle East. Out of
their fear of anti-Semitism, Jews have become antiSemites,
Half of Amman's population of 600,000 are (or
were) refugees of the 1967 war, during which a total
of half a million Palestinians fled to Jordan from the
West bank territory occupied' by Israel. Over half of
the refugees live (or lived) in camps: row upon row
of corregated tin shacks set, one up against the next,
on the unpaved ground. Not a blade of grass, not a
tree relieves the view. Located in valleys, the camps
are completely vulnerable to the hot sun in summer,
the wind and rain in winter, and the mortar shells,
phosphorous bombs. and napalm of King Hussein's
army at any time. This is not a civil war. It is, rather.
c
a situation in which a popular movement is being
brutally suppressed by authorities who fear-Who
know-that they no longer control the people.
While we were in Amman we talked with a man
from North Vietnam who was there, as we were, to
attend a conference sponsored by the General Union
of Palestinian students. He said. with obvious reference
to the s
',f
the Palestinians, "In 1945 we did not
believe that the t l~; " '(\1,10 actually be willing to
destroy our people in order to retain control of the
country. But I saw it with my own eyes: two million
people killed outright or by starvation in two months.
Then we knew what they were capable of, and we
knew what we had to do." The Palestinians know too.
Now.
The revolution will come to Israel. too. There
are indications that some Israeli's have learned that
they must build it now. The Palestinians will gain
self-determination. despite the best efforts of the
present regimes of the Arab states and their American
supporters, Socialist revolution will spread across the
Middle East. We of the American left must ally ourselves with those revolutions. We must struggle to
understand what is really happening in the Middle East
and to raise the consciousness of the American people
about their government's open complicity in the attempts at genocide there. To do otherwise would be
to deny that those revolutions are part of the struggles
of Third World peoples everywhere.

About The Amazing Mr. Brown Without Whom
the Second International Pop Festival May Not Have
Been Possible:
To look at him and listen to him from a distance
you'd say, "REDNECK." You're almost right. There
are a couple of ways you can recognize Mr. H.L. Brown.
He has a red nose and a glass in his hand with his favorite: ~ milk, ~ of his favorite booze; he has two strange
white poodles smelling very-sweet? It could be the
men's cologne and a half-worried/half-happy look on
his face. He's kinda heavy set, but enjoys life like he's
25 years old.
Mr. H.L. Brown, owner of the Mid Georgia Raceway, is happy, happy with us, a result of the Pop Festival. Mr. Brown is also worried about what has happened
to him, and even us, since the great event.
Mr. Brown is in debt from us. Since the Pop Festival he has had only two races, nobody will come
around. He estimates his losses at $1500 a week. His
neighbors hassle him. MIl.Brown has law suits against
him, one being over $500,000. But this does not worry
him, so he says. He has great hopes for us and as he
puts it, "I hope that I will live to see the day when this
generation's dreams will come true."
He and I both agreed that a lot of this generation's
ideas are idealistic. But this is a time for experimentation, to see what is possible, what is workable, and what
is not. We also agreed that every man and woman is deserving of this. But the means by which we are achieving this are a little fucked up.
SUBSCRI8E
to the
He stated to me that he does not see anything
wrong with the use of marijuana, for "it's not worse
than what I have here." (lifting up his milk, Milk?) But
he also said, "And you may quote me on this, I will
have anybody arrested Who is selling LSD and hard
narcotics. "
When talking about the war he had a few comments. "I fought in the Second World War, but this Vietnam has no reason, and we should GET OUT." He
.believe~ in patriotism and supporting your country,
and went further to say there are a lot of things wrong
with this country and it is anybody's right to protest,
peacefully. Mr. Brown is against violence and the people who cause violence.
There will be a race at Mid Georgia Raceway, the
Georgia 500. Trials win be held November 7 at I pm
and the race will be held November 8. He asks for your
support.
After I returned to Atlanta, I felt mighty fine to
have met such a dude. To think that he too is being
hassled, discriminated against, for the same beliefs as
we. To think also after all this bullshit happened right
after the Pop Festival he went ahead and did the Jimi
Hendrix Memorial for us. Knowing that the pigs were
going to hassle him if he did not have the concert over
by midnight. He said, "I have a permit that says I can
have 12,qOO people on my land, and they're going to
stay, but try to close down by 1: 30."
I turned to one of the dudes who was playing
