"Seven days ago some cops came into our office see, -:
‘and left some heroin 2nd guns and came back an hour later —
to protect us. We don't necd that (obscene) protection. If
we need protection it wtll tbe from the people. And if these
cops are with us they will take off their clothes and join us. |;
If not they'll.........(announcer breaks in). And if they don't
if should be recognized that they are here to intimidate us,
Okay. Well that got through. Now to rap.
"I want. to say one thing about the word repression,
because a lot of people coming on and say what's happening to

(obscene). You don't see HO CHI MINH saying the US government
is coming in for repression against the Vietnamese peop le.
That is bull (obscene). These things are a sign of the insanity
of the people that run this (obscene) country.. They take
eight, eight different guys, see, who went to Chicago, all got Tal
different kinds of ways. All kike arguing with each other, _
How we going to do without......(announcer breaks in). Bingo,

together. They are our leaders. Thank you brother Nixon. -

golf course in the sky. Bless you Ike. So all these acts, you
‘know, the Black Panthers going to blow up the 2ctanical
Gardens. We're going to drive cattle through the streets of .
Chicago, all that. Signs of a dying empire. They are out of
their mother (obscene), on LSD, Sad LSD trips.
"To give you an idea, I just got this from the
- government. . Dig this. This is outea-sight. It says United
States of Aterica versus me for wearing a flag st! hirt. Thi s-

Yippies talking. One line, the importance of a flag in. .°

"One other thing, ‘this {s an anti-war demonstration.
