There follows the transcript of the recording of
subject’s speech, Comments in parentheses are added.
Too bad the sound wasn’t too good on that. (Movie
“Off the Pig’ was just shown) There's only one thing wrong
with that movie, there’s only one little fib. We did after
all put the LSD in the drinking water. (laughter) LSD. I
remember calling up - there was this guy that’s, like very
liberal on the Daily. He was a real sweater. He kept
trying to negotiate permit application five months. Kept
gtalling same as DAVID STALL, Deputy Mayor of Chicago. Two
weeks while we were into the festival life, or whatever the
hell we call it, called him up and say “Hey DAVE how're
ya doin'." He said (garbled) he's sweating, liberal sweat.
Said “I'll let ya know a secret. You know, I see all the
stories in newspapers how you got 1500 troups out there
guarding the reservoir, the filter system, Chicago and all
these things about LSD in drinking water. You must (illigible)
in the streets or something like we didn't even start that
rumor. You know something? It can't be done. You check
it out. Call some of these scientists you know them all,"
.So he says, "I know, we have checked it out. We aren't taking
any chances anyway.” Very freaky. 1500 troups. (illigible)
We picked up a paper one day that says Top Yippies Indicted
for Plot to Assassinate Hubert Humphrey. Oh, look around.
Yep, they got all the top ones. They're after the pigs.
It's against the law to have animals in the streets of
Chicago unless you're Spiro Agnew and the animal is an
elephant, then it's ok (laughter). So we brought this pig
down and they grabbed him up and about 7 other people took
him out to the Animal Rescue League Jail. And. we had this
- press conference and we said you turn this pig loose in
- three hours we run a lion for president. (laughter) Take
another fuck. Oh, what the hell. They sent four cops
right from the zoo to (illigible). It's amazing what they
believe. All this is going to come out September 24, the
biggest circus country I've ever seen, Call a trial; con-
spiracy! To breath together, conspiracy. Eight guys.
They did it. Yeah, BOBBY SEALE, head of the Black Panther
Party, he was there, Ten hours, gave two talks, 15 minutes
long. Ten years - two talks. DAVE DILLINGER been a pascifist
thirty years, He up in teaching (illigible) devices.
Say DAVE - teach me. I believe in better living through
chemistry. They report we are ready. Going to drive 9,000
cattle through streets of Chicago. We are going to assassinate
others. We're going to blow up baseball diamond. Hear this.
They accuse us of coming to Chicago to perform magic. Against
the law. LAW, Law is an interesting thing to talk about.
