The two presidents met today as scheduled to discuss the economic situation and international relations of Ukraine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Moscow has lowered the price at which Ukraine will buy Russian gas from $400 to $268.5 per 1000 cubic meters, a cut of one third. This price cut is in keeping with predictions announced last week by Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, who had announced that he expected Russia would lower delivery prices for Russian gas after the visit. Moscow also agreed to buy $15 billion worth of Ukrainian government bonds--essentially a $15 billion dollar loan. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Moscow also plans to resume supplying oil to Ukraine's refinery in Odessa, which can process 70 000 barrels per day. Russia's preliminary export schedule indicates that Russia could send 750 000 tonnes of oil in the first quarter of 2014, worth approximately $600 million. The Odessa plant was shut down in 2010 due to poor financial performance, but was bought and reopened by VETEK last October. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Russia is Ukraine's main source of energy and bank loans, and is Ukraine's most important trading partner. Currently Ukraine exports $16 billion to Russia in goods per year, roughly the same amount as Ukraine exports to Europe. Ukraine is extremely dependent on Russia for oil and gas--its biggest import--which it pipes to Europe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ukraine already carries massive debt to Russia. Ukraine needs to pay Russia $17 billion next year for its outstanding gas bill alone. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also at the meeting Putin and Yanukovych discussed economic and industrial cooperation. The two signed agreements on these issues and committed themselves to implementing the free trade deal signed two years ago. The leaders announced that they did not discuss customs unions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Trade between Russia and Ukraine fell 11% in 2012 and 14.5% in 2013. Ukrainian officials have announced their priority to restore trade relations with Russia before proceeding with their stated direction of the European Union. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Ukrainian leadership has been explicit about its direction. It has stated that Ukraine's direction is with Europe, and it intends to one day join the EU. The leadership has stated that its view on trade agreements with the EU and with Russia is not about foreign policy choice, but about reforms. The leadership has stated that deals with one of these two partners does not mean turning away from the other. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Russia has so far been successful at maintaining Ukraine's loyalty by alternating punishing and rewarding economic measures . In August, Russia banned Ukrainian chocolate imports, which might have cost Ukraine $200 million, and asked its partners Belarus and Kazakhstan to do the same. Recently, Russia threatened to impose $46 million in sanctions against Ukraine, targeting especially Ukrainian imports. Russia has also threatened to demand immediate payment of outstanding loans. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On the other hand, the recent withdrawal of Ukraine from an immediate EU agreement has caused some EU members to become short with Ukraine, and the USA has mentioned possible sanctions against Ukraine.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ukraine is vulnerable to the conditions of its trading partners because the country is massively in debt. Ukraine's debt has been rising steadily over the years and is currently $134 billion, as reported by the Ukrainian National Bank, which is 36% of GDP. Ukraine depends heavily on Russia for its economic health, but looks to Europe for its future, hoping for reforms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Ukrainian people are also split over which road to take, uncertain of which set of circumstances will be worse. They worry about becoming subject to either Russia or Poland and Germany, and have been demonstrating for both positions. Ukraine's Research and Branding group, a non-governmental organization, released figures early this month that show that 46% of Ukrainians favor the EU, while 36% favor Russia. Ukraine is a heavily regional country, though, with a large Russian population in the east and a large European-oriented population in the west and center. </span>The Speakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479914695740351393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177518739364128793.post-52401844612165714902013-12-16T12:39:00.000-08:002013-12-16T12:47:54.747-08:00Why Was Mandela Imprisoned?<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela, who died December 5, is remembered as a freedom fighter who struggled against the racist oppression of his government and suffered incarceration for 27 years, although this 27 years was a shortening of a life term imposed on Mandela in 1964. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What was Mandela charged with?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela was politically active during the 50s and 60s, during the reign of the apartheid government that was elected in 1948 by the whites of South Africa, the only citizens suffered to vote. He was a member and leader of a political party that opposed apartheid and sought equality for blacks in South Africa.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The apartheid government was characterized in large part by a series of laws it passed making racial segregation a legal order. Dissenting political parties and civil rights groups opposed these laws, which led the apartheid government to pass laws making such actions by opposing groups illegal also. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One such law was the 1950 Suppression of Communism Act. This act named communism as the social evil, but contained a definition of communism so broad that it could catch any politically dissenting idea or attitude in its net. Mandela was arrested for violation of this act several times in the early 50s and jailed for short periods. In 1952 Mandela was sentenced under this act to nine months incarceration with hard labor, but the sentence was suspended two years. Mandela's crimes were public speaking, membership in an anti-apartheid party, association with the South African Communist Party, and public protests.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">During the next few years, the government responded to political protests and actions with laws such as the Public Safety Act, 1953 and Riotous Assemblies Act, 1956. These laws empowered the government to declare state emergencies and employ martial law for political protests, increase penalties for crimes when they were committed for political reasons, and made encouraging protests against laws, passive resistance against laws, and open-air meetings subject to criminal prosecution.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1955 the government allowed a huge gathering of various anti-apartheid groups. This meeting was known as the Congress of the People, and its main topic was the drafting of a manifesto of beliefs (which opposed the policies of the government) called the Freedom Charter. Many attendees of this meeting signed the charter. In 1956 156 of these people, including Mandela, were arrested and charged under the Suppression of Communism Act and Riotous Assemblies Act. This trial lasted four years and ended in acquittal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1960 amidst country-wide unrest, the government proclaimed martial law under the Public Safety Act. Mandela was arrested and jailed without charge for several months until the state emergency was lifted and prisoners were released.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Later in 1960 the government passed the Unlawful Organizations Act, which made the political party Mandela led an illegal organization. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Shortly thereafter, Mandela decided that violence would be necessary to overthrow the apartheid government. Mandela directed a violent wing of his political party and went underground. The violence was confined to explosions where there would be no loss of life. Mandela traveled Africa and visited London, gaining support, funds, and guerrilla warfare training before returning to South Africa. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The government soon passed the General Laws Amendments Acts of 1962 and 1963 which made receiving training that could further "communism," and advocating change by violent means and with foreign aid illegal. It also allowed police detainment for 90 days without legal counsel or visitors, and unlimited detainment for sabotage. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1962 Mandela was caught and charged with incitement to strike and leaving the country illegally. He was sentenced to five years incarceration. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A year later, while Mandela was in jail, several other political leaders were arrested and Mandela was charged with them for sabotage and attempting to overthrow the state. This trial ended in 1964 and Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The trial and incarceration became a global issue. Many nations and the EU criticized South Africa for it, and many placed sanctions on the South African government. Mandela's wife labored throughout his jail term for his release.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela was released in 1990 when the President of South Africa legalized his political party and released Mandela. This act was commemorated in the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, which was shared by the two politicians.</span>The Speakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479914695740351393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177518739364128793.post-7665878906248544322013-12-15T20:43:00.001-08:002013-12-16T10:20:31.996-08:00Mandela: Two Speeches: "No Easy Walk to Freedom" (1953) and "I am Prepared to Die" (1963)<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela made two particularly well-known speeches during his anti-apartheid struggle in the 50s and 60s. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">"No Easy Walk to Freedom"</span> (<a href="http://literaryandhistoricalconsiderations.blogspot.ca/2013/12/no-easy-walk-to-freedom-speech-mandela.html">text</a>) is a 4553-word speech by Mandela read to the African National Congress party in 1953. It contextualizes the actions of South Africans from all walks of life and all races who participated in the Campaign for the Defiance of the Unjust Laws. Mandela talks to how these people sacrificed their jobs and elected to go to jail for the cause, and this bound them together and voiced their opposition to the unjust government in office. It talks about the "Suppression of Communism" and "Public Safety" Acts that allow the government to imprison anyone, even for calling on another person to "defy", and allowed the government to use marshal law against protesters. It lists the people who have been charged under these laws.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are several sections of normal political rhetoric about social and economic grievances and (in this case racist) policies unfair to his constituency. He lists orders to his supporters to publicize and support the Congress. He instructs them that if they can't meet publicly (because of the legal prohibition), they should meet anywhere else, in their factories or on buses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He blames on the branch authorities the less-than-desirable members of his party, makes note of enemies within the ranks of the party, detailing some who have been found, and stating that the others have not been found yet. He then states that those who are "friends of the people' are willing to make the sacrifices (life and death) for his party, and enemies are recognized by their unwillingness to sacrifice. He points out that "almost all the people who oppose the "M" Plan are people who have consistently refused to respond when sacrifices are called for, and whose political background leaves much to be desired. These shade characters by means of flattery, bribes and corruption, win the support of the weak-willed and politically backward individuals, detach them from Congress and use them in their own interests." After rhetoric to do with racism and universal rights, he speaks of one of the oppositions facing his party:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"We are exiled from our own people for we have uncompromisingly resisted the efforts of imperialist America and her satellites to drag the world into the rule of violence and brutal force, into the rule of the napalm, hydrogen and the cobalt bombs where millions of people will be wiped out to satisfy the criminal and greedy appetites of the imperial powers. We have been gagged because we have emphatically and openly condemned the criminal attacks by the imperialists against the people of Malaya, Vietnam, Indonesia, Tunisia and Tanganyika and called upon our people to identify themselves unreservedly with the cause of world peace and to fight against the war policies of America and her satellites...."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He then lists some of the specific outrages committed on people in these war-torn regions and states that "We are prisoners in our own country because we dared to raise our voices against these horrible atrocities and because we expressed our solidarity with the cause of the Kenya people."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He then quotes Nehru to the effect that people's desires will come after difficult tribulations, and closes:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Dangers and difficulties have not deterred us in the past, they will not frighten us now. But we must be prepared for them like men in business who do not waste energy in vain talk and idle action. The way of preparation for action lies in our rooting out all impurity and indiscipline from our organisation and making it the bright and shining instrument that will cleave its way to Africa's freedom."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">"I am Prepared to Die"</span> (<a href="http://literaryandhistoricalconsiderations.blogspot.ca/2013/12/i-am-prepared-to-die-speech-mandela-1963.html">text</a>) was a 14326-word speech recited by Mandela during his 1963 trial for sabotage and attempting to overthrow the state. In 1963 ten ANC leaders (including Mandela, who was serving a 5 year sentence for incitement to strike and leaving the country illegally) were arrested and charged. It was generally assumed that state would move for the death penalty, and all defendants plead guilty. Mandela believed he would likely receive the death sentence, and for this reason Mandela retained the final, "I am prepared to die" statement despite his lawyers advice, although Mandela added, "if needs be."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela prepared the speech about South African legal injustice, aimed at the international audience, receiving aid from a writer and a journalist (who judged the delivery of the speech to be "most... effective" and "hesitant, boring"), and took as example Castro's 4-hour long "History Will Absolve Me" speech (1953) delivered at Castro's sentencing for charges related to violent revolutionary acts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The first third explains the rationale and contextualizes the motivation for finally forming a wing of the ANC that uses violence (sabotage). Mandela then speaks to separating the ANC's violent wing and their directives from violent acts committed by other groups. He talks about how, after black violent acts, whites became more reactionary, and whites and blacks became more separated in the struggle which threatened to become a racial civil war. At this point, the white government threatened blacks committing sabotage with death, necessitating--Mandela says--stepping up the level of ANC violence from sabotage to terrorism. Mandela then talks about his tour of Africa, his preparation for guerrilla war, various false charges by the state. He then talks about the ideals and political goals of the ANC, distinguishes the ANC from the Communist Party and explains their inter-relationship. Mandela states his own political beliefs, and speaks praisingly of British and American political institutions. Mandela explains his connections with communism and Communists, details the funding of the ANC, describes the South African economy and labor conditions and the effects of poverty, and closes stating that Apartheid is the reason for these ills, and that he is committed to ending racial segregation.</span>The Speakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479914695740351393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177518739364128793.post-58317282083818173672013-12-15T20:03:00.001-08:002013-12-16T12:13:21.224-08:00Mandela and South African Apartheid Laws, 1949-1964<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This post looks at the laws instituted by the Apartheid government in South Africa which were used first to create legal segregation, then expanded to protect the policies of the government against the public it governed, who sought to remove them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This series of laws can be used to illustrate the points of Mandela's and other South African's struggle against apartheid between 1948 and 1963 when Mandela was imprisoned the final time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O1gNCR9z4vM/Uq9QDRcLmZI/AAAAAAAAAr8/aZsDP9Mvh3s/s1600/PA-4621386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O1gNCR9z4vM/Uq9QDRcLmZI/AAAAAAAAAr8/aZsDP9Mvh3s/s320/PA-4621386.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Apartheid government that was elected in 1948 passed several segregation laws. Among these were prohibition of mixed marriages, registration of all South Africans as one of four racial groups, and relocation of racial groups into segregated zones in urban areas. These laws were passed in 1949 and 1950. In 1950 the SUPPRESSION OF COMMUNISM ACT was also enacted in response to political groups who opposed the ruling government. This act was used in Mandela's 1956-1961 Treason Trial and his 1963-1964 Rivonia Trial.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uACLnbNprXU/Uq9QGpqbI1I/AAAAAAAAAsU/zgmJVqi41lQ/s1600/o-APARTHEID-CAPETOWN-WHITES-facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uACLnbNprXU/Uq9QGpqbI1I/AAAAAAAAAsU/zgmJVqi41lQ/s320/o-APARTHEID-CAPETOWN-WHITES-facebook.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first laws we will consider are the six laws taken up by the ANC and the South African Indian Congress in their 1952 non-violent Defiance Campaign. the GROUP AREAS ACT of 1950, the STOCK LIMITATION ACT of 1950, the SUPPRESSION OF COMMUNISM ACT of 1950, the SEPARATE REPRESENTATION OF VOTERS ACT of 1951 (with sequels), the BANTU AUTHORITIES ACT of 1951 and the NATIVES ABOLITION OF PASSES & COORDINATION OF DOCUMENTS ACT of 1952. The Defiance Campaign had three stages: first, the ANC recruited people who would defy these laws publicly by carrying out such acts as refusing to carry passes, entering European-only places and restricted areas. Second, the recruits were to be increased in order to clog up the judicial and administrative system, and third, "industrial action" would increase political pressure on a countrywide scale. In this campaign 8400 were arrested and 5000 jailed (<a href="http://literaryandhistoricalconsiderations.blogspot.ca/2013/12/no-easy-walk-to-freedom-speech-mandela.html">speech about the campaign by Mandela</a>).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The SUPPRESSION OF COMMUNISM ACT declared communist parties, promotion of "communist activities", publishing "certain publications", and "certain communist activities" unlawful. It defined "communism" as "any doctrine or scheme.... which aims at... a system of government based on the dictatorship of the proletariat under which one political organization only is recognized and all other(s)... are suppressed or eliminated," or promotes or uses means which include the promotion of disturbance or disorder by unlawful acts or omissions or threats of same, or acting with directions, guidance, or cooperation with any foreign government or institution whose purpose (professed or not) is to promote a communistic government (as described above), or which aims to encourage feelings of hostility between Europeans and non-European races in order to achieve any such communistic aims. In this Act, a "communist" is defined as a person who professes or is deemed by the State to have advocated, advised, defended, or encouraged (ever after the passing of this Act) the achievement of any communistic act or omission which is deemed to have furthered any such achievement or purpose.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela was charged under this law several times in the early 50's. In 1952 Mandela was arrested three times for violating this act and sentenced along with 20 other Defiance Campaign leaders, to nine months imprisonment, sentence suspended two years, and banned from public speaking.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The NATIVES ABOLITION OF PASSES & COORDINATION OF DOCUMENTS ACT of 1952 coodinated and expanded the system of carrying passes applied since 1797 to blacks moving in white areas. (This act was amended in 1956 to explicitly include women.)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The government's reaction to the ANC's civil disobedience campaigns, particularly the Defiance Campaign, was the PUBLIC SAFETY ACT, 1953, which empowered the government to declare a state of emergency and do whatever they deem necessary to deal with the emergency. The government also passed the CRIMINAL LAW AMENDMENT ACT No 8, 1953, making any act that may cause another person to commit a crime by way of protest against the law or any passive resistance against any law illegal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From the PUBLIC SAFETY ACT, 1953; Section 3: "The Governor-General [later, State-President] may... make such regulations as appear to him to be necessary or expedient for providing for the safety of the public, or the maintenance of public order and for making adequate provision for terminating such emergency or for dealing with any circumstances which in his opinion have arisen or are likely to arise as a result of such emergency" Any laws made during a state of emergency could be made retrospective for four days to cover any emergency action taken by the police. The emergency regulations could suspend any act of Parliament, with a few exceptions. If the justice minister or administrator of South West Africa deemed it necessary, they could declare a state of emergency but the governor general had to approve their action within ten days"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From the CRIMINAL LAW AMENDMENT ACT No 8, 1953: "Any person who in any way whatsoever advises, encourages, incites, commands, aids or procures any other person ... or uses language calculated to cause any other person to commit an offence by way of protest against the law... shall be guilty of an offence" Also, "passive resistence against any law (is) illegal." This law also increased penalties for all crimes when a law was broken for political reasons.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In June, 1955 the ANC, South African Indian Congress, the Colored People's Congress, the South African Congress of Trade Unions, and the Congress of Democrats convened. 3000 people attended from these and various other groups. The Freedom Charter was the main issue at this meeting.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After the 1955 Congress of the People, the RIOTOUS ASSEMBLIES ACT was passed in March, 1956. This act empowered the Minister of Justice to deem open-air gatherings dangers to the public peace, after which they were prohibited. It included banishment as punishment. This law was used in Mandela's 1956-1961 Treason Trial.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1956 Mandela was arrested as one of 156 anti-apartheid political leaders who attended the 1955 Congress of the People and signed the Freedom Charter. All were charged with treason, citing their participation in drawing up the Freedom Charter, which sought to abolish segregation. The prosecution argued that ending segregation would necessarily mean the overthrow and destruction of the existing state, and this implied necessary violence, since there was no other means by which this end could be achieved. The defendants were also charged with communism and establishing alternative appendages to the government because the African National Congress sought universal adult suffrage divided into electoral districts and a general election for representatives. This trial lasted four years, ending in acquittal. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In March, 1960 a demonstration outside the Sharpville police station where 5000 Africans gathered without their mandatory passes alarmed police, who had no means by which to arrest or imprison so many people. After a scuffle near a gate through the wire fence surrounding the police station , some police opened fire without orders, and continued to fire upon the group as they fled. 180 were wounded, most shot in the back; 69 killed. Rioting broke out across South Africa, at which time Mandela burned his pass. The government declared a state of emergency and proclaimed martial law (under the 1953 PUBLIC SAFETY ACT, used for the first time in this way). Mandela and 30 other activists were arrested that month and imprisoned without charge. They were released when the state of emergency was lifted in August. While Mandela was in prison, a countrywide (95% of the workforce) labor strike took place. The situation was controlled by the military, townships were cordoned off, and an emergency was declared. Thousands of people were arrested. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In response to the 1960 meetings of the African National Congress and the Pan African Congress and a few weeks after the Sharpville Massacre, the government passed the UNLAWFUL ORGANIZATIONS ACT, 1960, which allowed the government to ban these organizations. Another Act passed by the government following Sharpville was the INDEMNITY ACT, 1961, which protected the government and its officers after 224 civil claims for damages served against the Minister of Justice by the victims of Sharpville and their families.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The UNLAWFUL ORGANIZATIONS ACT of 1960 was aimed explicitly at the PAC and ANC, and stated that if the Governor General deemed the public order to be seriously threatened or be likely to seriously threatened by such an organization, or in consequence of the actions of such an organization, he could proclaim it illegal. This act referred extensively to the SUPPRESSION OF COMMUNISM ACT, 1950 for provisions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The INDEMNITY ACT of 1961 stated: "No proceedings, whether civil or criminal, shall be brought in any court of law against the President" and other other people working for the government or under its authority, between March 21 and the date of this act, and all proceedings that may have been brought in that time are void.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1961, Mandela went underground and organized his movement and protests. The police put out a warrant for his arrest. Mandela met with reporters and warned that the anti-apartheid forces would soon begin violence. Mandela organized the violent wing of the ANC called the Spear of the Nation. The group began acts of sabotage, including bombings where there would be no loss of life. In 1962 Mandela traveled around Africa and visited London. On this trip he raised support and funding, and learned some guerila warfare. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In response to the international tour of Mandela the government passed the GENERAL LAWS AMENDMENTS ACTS, 1962 and 1963 to add more political activities to the list of crimes, including receiving training that could further communism, advocating economic or social change in South Africa by violent means (remember, in 1956 the prosecution for the Treason Trail argued that any political change against the government's policies should be deemed violent because it could reasonably be expected to happen no other way) with the aid of a foreign government or institution. These amendment acts also gave police power of detention without charge for 12 and then 90 days without legal council or visitors. It gave the government (though not the police) power to detain those sentenced for sabotage or similar crimes for an unlimited time.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Mandela in prison around 1962</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After 17 months underground, Mandela was arrested again in 1962 and charged with incitement to strike, and leaving the country illegally. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1963, while Mandela was serving his 5 years for the 1962 offences, several other leaders were arrested and Mandela was charged with them for sabotage and attempting to overthrow the state. Among the charges were:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- recruiting persons for training in the preparation and use of explosives and in guerrilla warfare for the purpose of violent revolution and committing acts of sabotage</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- conspiring to commit the aforementioned acts and to aid foreign military units when they invaded the Republic,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- acting in these ways to further the objects of communism</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- soliciting and receiving money for these purposes from sympathizers in Algeria, Ethiopia, Liberia, Nigeria, Tunisia, and elsewhere.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela opted to recite a political <a href="http://literaryandhistoricalconsiderations.blogspot.ca/2013/12/i-am-prepared-to-die-speech-mandela-1963.html">speech</a> rather than proceed with a regular legal defense. The trial ended in 1964. The defendants were found guilty of sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment. This trial was condemned by many nations and the UN. Some nations placed international sanctions on the South African government. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mandela served 27 years of his life sentence, ending in 1990. In 1989 the South African President had begun meetings with him. The next President stated that Apartheid was unsustainable and released all political prisoners except Mandela. Later that year, the same President made moves (opposed by some of his cabinet) to legalize the ANC and release Mandela. Mandela was released early in 1990. (The two politicians shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.)</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Arapahoe High School, Centennial, Colorado. Friday, Dec. 13, a high school senior, Karl Pierson, 18, entered his school at 12:30 p.m. with a shotgun and injured at least one student.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pierson did not conceal the weapon as he entered near the library. Students ran in the halls, yelling "Get out! Get out!" Counsellors and staff ran through the halls shouting to close classroom doors. Acting in accordance with training given and drilled into them after the 1999 Columbine incident, called "standard lockdown proceedure," students and teachers locked themselves in classrooms and closets. Classroom lights were shut off and classes huddled together on the floor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pierson wore tactical gear and carried a shotgun--bought legally Dec. 6--in addition to three explosives, possibly Molotov cocktails, and a machete. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Upon entering, Pierson called out for his debate coach (also a librarian at the school), Tracy Murphy. Pierson reportedly fired a total of 5 shots. He fired one shot down the hallway. He fired the second shot point blank in the face of a senior girl, Claire Davis, who was sitting with a friend. He fired the third shot down the hallway. Pierson entered the library and set off an explosive. He fired a fourth shot. He then ran to the back of the library and shot himself. Pierson was dead within 80 seconds of entering the school.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is uncertain whether Davis was targeted, and also uncertain whether she was known to Pierson. She was critically wounded in the head. Reportedly, one of the shots was fired at Tracy Murphy but missed. It was reported that Murphy exited the school, with escort, when he was told by other students that Pierson was calling for him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The school's resource officer, an Arapahoe County deputy sheriff went looking for the source of the gunfire, but arrived after Pierson was dead. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Police arriving on the scene followed post-Columbine protocol, immediately entering the school rather than setting up a perimeter. Converging on scene were a police swat team, a fire team, and bomb squad. Helicopters circled above. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Authorities found Pierson's body about 20 minutes after the first call alerted them. Police were at the locked doors of the classrooms in approximately 30 minutes and escorted students out of the building. Parents met students at predesignated "reunion centers," a measure which lessens interference with law enforcement.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All schools in the area were put on lockdown, and parents and students were invited to meet at a neighborhood church. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Fellow students described Pierson was outspoken about politics, a gifted debater on the school's team, and a member of the track team. He cultivated his speaking skills and sometimes debated teachers. He had friends. Pierson's character was reported by fellow students as "increibly humble and down to earth.... A little geeky but in a charming way." Pierson aspired to enter the US Air Force Academy. There are mixed reports about whether Murphy had suspended Pierson and kicked him off the debate team for threatening Murphy--threats which were not made directly to Murphy but reported to Murphy by other students--in September or whether Pierson had threatened Murphy after being suspended from the debate team. Reportedly, Pierson was a target of bullying, but did not show other students that it bothered him. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the 25th school shooting in America since Dec 14, 2012. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Arapahoe High School is attended by 2200 students. It belongs to the same school district as Columbine High School, and is a few miles from the Aurora cinema building where there was a shooting July 2012.</span>The Speakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479914695740351393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177518739364128793.post-13221215062044548112013-12-12T16:30:00.001-08:002013-12-12T18:29:27.271-08:00"No Easy Walk to Freedom" Speech - Mandela (1953)<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Mandela read this speech to the African National Congress party in 1953 as his Presidential Address. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>It is not a bad read. For those not going to read it I will summarize:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>First, Mandela contextualizes the actions of South Africans from all walks of life and all races who participated in the Campaign for the Defiance of the Unjust Laws. Mandela frames the sacrifices made by all people who gave up their jobs and chose prison as part of this struggle. He states that these actions bound the people together and voiced their opposition to the unjust government in office. Mandela then talks about the "Suppression of Communism" and "Public Safety" Acts that allow the government to imprison anyone, even for calling on another person to "defy", and allow the government to use marshal law against protesters. Mandela tells the stories of some of the people who have been charged under these laws. There are several sections of normal political rhetoric about social and economic grievances and (in this case racist) policies that are unfair to his constituency. He gives a list of orders to his supporters to publicize and support the Congress. He instructs his supporters that if they can't meet publicly (because of the legal prohibition), then they should meet somewhere else else, even in their factories or on the buses on which the commute. Mandela blames the ANC branch authorities for the less-than-desirable members of his party, makes note of enemies within the ranks of the party, details some who have been found, and states that the others have not been found yet. Mandela then states that those who are "friends of the people' are willing to make sacrifices ("life and death") for his party, and enemies are recognized by their unwillingness to make such sacrifices. He points out that "almost all the people who oppose the 'M' Plan are people who have consistently refused to respond when sacrifices are called for, and whose political background leaves much to be desired. These shady characters by means of flattery, bribes and corruption, win the support of the weak-willed and politically backward individuals, detach them from Congress and use them in their own interests." After some rhetoric to do with racism and universal rights, Mandela speaks of some of the other enemies of his cause, for which the cause has suffered: "imperialist America and her satellites" and Britain, who "massacred" "the Kenya people." Mandela then lists some of the dramatic outrages committed on people in these war-torn regions and states that "We are prisoners in our own country because we dared to raise our voices against these horrible atrocities and because we expressed our solidarity with the cause of the Kenya people." Mandela closes by quoting Nehru to the effect that people's desires will come after difficult tribulations, and calls for his audience to be prepared to face dangers and difficulties, to act not talk, and cleanse the ANC from impurity and indiscipline for the sake of Africa's freedom.</i></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Full text of the speech:</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since 1912 and year after year thereafter, in their homes and local areas, in provincial and national gatherings, on trains and buses, in the factories and on the farms, in cities, villages, shanty towns, schools and prisons, the African people have discussed the shameful misdeeds of those who rule the country. Year after year, they have raised their voices in condemnation of the grinding poverty of the people, the low wages, the acute shortage of land, the inhuman exploitation and the whole policy of white domination. But instead of more freedom repression began to grow in volume and intensity and it seemed that all their sacrifices would end up in smoke and dust. Today the entire country knows that their labours were not in vain for a new spirit and new ideas have gripped our people. Today the people speak the language of action: there is a mighty awakening among the men and women of our country and the year 1952 stands out as the year of this upsurge of national consciousness.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In June, 1952, the AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS and the SOUTH AFRICAN INDIAN CONGRESS, bearing in mind their responsibility as the representatives of the downtrodden and oppressed people of South Africa, took the plunge and launched the Campaign for the Defiance of the Unjust Laws. Starting off in Port Elizabeth in the early hours of June 26 and with only thirty-three defiers in action and then in Johannesburg in the afternoon of the same day with one hundred and six defiers, it spread throughout the country like wild fire. Factory and office workers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, students and the clergy;Africans, Coloureds, Indians and Europeans, old and young, all rallied to the national call and defied the pass laws and the curfew and the railway apartheid regulations. At the end of the year, more than 8,000 people of all races had defied. The Campaign called for immediate and heavy sacrifices. Workers lost their jobs, chiefs and teachers were expelled from the service, doctors, lawyers and businessmen gave up their practices and businesses and elected to go to jail. Defiance was a step of great political significance. It released strong social forces which affected thousands of our countrymen. It was an effective way of getting the masses to function politically;a powerful method of voicing our indignation against the reactionary policies of the Government. It was one of the best ways of exerting pressure on the Government and extremely dangerous to the stability and security of the State. It inspired and aroused our people from a conquered and servile community of yesmen to a militant and uncompromising band of comrades-in-arms. The entire country was transformed into battle zones where the forces of liberation were locked up in immortal conflict against those of reaction and evil. Our flag flew in every battlefield and thousands of our countrymen rallied around it. We held the initiative and the forces of freedom were advancing on all fronts. It was against this background and at the height of this Campaign that we held our last annual provincial Conference in Pretoria from the 10th to the 12th of October last year. In a way, that Conference was a welcome reception for those who had returned from the battlefields and a farewell to those who were still going to action. The spirit of defiance and action dominated the entire conference .</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today we meet under totally different conditions. By the end of July last year, the Campaign had reached a stage where it had to be suppressed by the Government or it would impose its own policies on the country.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The government launched its reactionary offensive and struck at us. Between July last year and August this year forty-seven leading members from both Congresses in Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Kimberley were arrested, tried and convicted for launching the Defiance Campaign and given suspended sentences ranging from three months to two years on condition that they did not again participate in the defiance of the unjust laws. In November last year, a proclamation was passed which prohibited meetings of more than ten Africans and made it an offence for any person to call upon an African to defy. Contravention of this proclamation carried a penalty of three years or of a fine of three hundred pounds. In March this year the Government passed the so-called Public Safety Act which empowered it to declare a state of emergency and to create conditions which would permit of the most ruthless and pitiless methods of suppressing our movement. Almost simultaneously, the Criminal Laws Amendment Act was passed which provided heavy penalties for those convicted of Defiance offences. This Act also made provision for the whipping of defiers including women. It was under this Act that Mr. Arthur Matlala who was the local [leader] of the Central Branch during the Defiance Campaign, was convicted and sentenced to twelve months with hard labour plus eight strokes by the Magistrate of Villa Nora. The Government also made extensive use of the Suppression of Communism Act. You will remember that in May last year the Government ordered Moses Kotane, Yusuf Dadoo, J. B. Marks, David Bopape and Johnson Ngwevela to resign from the Congresses and many other organisations and were also prohibited from attending political gatherings. In consequence of these bans, Moses Kotane, J. B. Marks, and David Bopape did not attend our last provincial Conference. In December last year, the Secretary General, Mr. W. M. Sisulu, and I were banned from attending gatherings and confined to Johannesburg for six months. Early this year, the President-General, Chief Luthuli, whilst in the midst of a national tour which he was prosecuting with remarkable energy and devotion, was prohibited for a period of twelve months from attending public gatherings and from visiting Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and many other centres. A few days before the President-General was banned, the President of the SAIC, Dr. G. M. Naicker, had been served with a similar notice. Many other active workers both from the African and Indian Congresses and from trade union organisations were also banned.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Congresses realised that these measures created a new situation which did not prevail when the Campaign was launched in June 1952. The tide of defiance was bound to recede and we were forced to pause and to take stock of the new situation. We had to analyse the dangers that faced us, formulate plans to overcome them and evolve new plans of political struggle. A political movement must keep in touch with reality and the prevailing conditions. Long speeches, the shaking of fists, the banging of tables and strongly worded resolutions out of touch with the objective conditions do not bring about mass action and can do a great deal of harm to the organisation and the struggle we serve. The masses had to be prepared and made ready for new forms of political struggle. We had to recuperate our strength and muster our forces for another and more powerful offensive against the enemy. To have gone ahead blindly as if nothing had happened would have been suicidal and stupid. The conditions under which we meet today are, therefore, vastly different. The Defiance Campaign together with its thrills and adventures has receded. The old methods of bringing about mass action through public mass meetings, press statements and leaflets calling upon the people to go to action have become extremely dangerous and difficult to use effectively. The authorities will not easily permit a meeting called under the auspices of the ANC, few newspapers will publish statements openly criticising the policies of the Government and there is hardly a single printing press which will agree to print leaflets calling upon workers to embark on industrial action for fear of prosecution under the Suppression of Communism Act and similar measures. These developments require the evolution of new forms of political struggle which will make it reasonable for us to strive for action on a higher level than the Defiance Campaign. The Government, alarmed at the indomitable upsurge of national consciousness, is doing everything in its power to crush our movement by removing the genuine representatives of the people from the organisations. According to a statement made by Swart in Parliament on the 1 8th September, 1953, there are thirty-three trade union officials and eighty-nine other people who have been served with notices in terms of the Suppression of Communism Act. This does not include that formidable array of freedom fighters who have been named and blacklisted under the Suppression of Communism Act and those who have been banned under the Riotous Assemblies Act.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile the living conditions of the people, already extremely difficult, are steadily worsening and becoming unbearable. The purchasing power of the masses is progressively declining and the cost of living is rocketing. Bread is now dearer than it was two months ago. The cost of milk, meat and vegetables is beyond the pockets of the average family and many of our people cannot afford them. The people are too poor to have enough food to feed their families and children. They cannot afford sufficient clothing, housing and medical care. They are denied the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, old age and where these exist, they are of an extremely inferior and useless nature. Because of lack of proper medical amenities our people are ravaged by such dreaded diseases as tuberculosis, venereal disease, leprosy, pellagra, and infantile mortality is very high. The recent state budget made provision for the increase of the cost-of-living allowances for Europeans and not a word was said about the poorest and most hard-hit section of the population - the African people. The insane policies of the Government which have brought about an explosive situation in the country have definitely scared away foreign capital from South Africa and the financial crisis through which the country is now passing is forcing many industrial and business concerns to close down, to retrench their staffs and unemployment is growing every day. The farm labourers are in a particularly dire plight. You will perhaps recall the investigations and exposures of the semi-slave conditions on the Bethal farms made in 1948 by the Reverend Michael Scott and a GuardianCorrespondent;by the Drum last year and the Advance in April this year. You will recall how human beings, wearing only sacks with holes for their heads and arms, never given enough food to eat, slept on cement floors on cold nights with only their sacks to cover their shivering bodies. You will remember how they are woken up as early as 4 a. m. and taken to work on the fields with the indunas sjambokking those who tried to straighten their backs, who felt weak and dropped down because of hunger and sheer exhaustion. You will also recall the story of human beings toiling pathetically from the early hours of the morning till sunset, fed only on mealie meal served on filthy sacks spread on the ground and eating with their dirty hands. People falling ill and never once being given medical attention. You will also recall the revolting story of a farmer who was convicted for tying a labourer by his feet from a tree and had him flogged to death, pouring boiling water into his mouth whenever he cried for water. These things which have long vanished from many parts of the world still flourish in SA today. None will deny that they constitute a serious challenge to Congress and we are in duty bound to find an effective remedy for these obnoxious practices.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Government has introduced in Parliament the Native Labour (Settlement of Disputes) Bill and the Bantu Education Bill. Speaking on the Labour Bill, the Minister of Labour, Ben Schoeman, openly stated that the aim of this wicked measure is to bleed African trade unions to death. By forbidding strikes and lockouts it deprives Africans of the one weapon the workers have to improve their position. The aim of the measure is to destroy the present African trade unions which are controlled by the workers themselves and which fight for the improvement of their working conditions in return for a Central Native Labour Board controlled by the Government and which will be used to frustrate the legitimate aspirations of the African worker. The Minister of Native Affairs, Verwoerd, has also been brutally clear in explaining the objects of the Bantu Education Bill. According to him the aim of this law is to teach our children that Africans are inferior to Europeans. African education would be taken out of the hands of people who taught equality between black and white. When this Bill becomes law, it will not be the parents but the Department of Native Affairs which will decide whether an African child should receive higher or other education. It might well be that the children of those who criticise the Government and who fight its policies will almost certainly be taught how to drill rocks in the mines and how to plough potatoes on the farms of Bethal. High education might well be the privilege of those children whose families have a tradition of collaboration with the ruling circles.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The attitude of the Congress on these bills is very clear and unequivocal. Congress totally rejects both bills without reservation. The last provincial Conference strongly condemned the then proposed Labour Bill as a measure designed to rob the African workers of the universal right of free trade unionism and to undermine and destroy the existing African trade unions. Conference further called upon the African workers to boycott and defy the application of this sinister scheme which was calculated to further the exploitation of the African worker. To accept a measure of this nature even in a qualified manner would be a betrayal of the toiling masses. At a time when every genuine Congressite should fight unreservedly for the recognition of African trade unions and the realisation of the principle that everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests, we declare our firm belief in the principles enunciated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that everyone has the right to education;that education shall be directed to the full development of human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among the nations, racial or religious groups and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace. That parents have the right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The cumulative effect of all these measures is to prop up and perpetuate the artificial and decaying policy of the supremacy of the white men. The attitude of the government to us is that: "Let's beat them down with guns and batons and trample them under our feet. We must be ready to drown the whole country in blood if only there is the slightest chance of preserving white supremacy."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But there is nothing inherently superior about the herrenvolk idea of the supremacy of the whites. In China, India, Indonesia and Korea, American, British, Dutch and French Imperialism, based on the concept of the supremacy of Europeans over Asians, has been completely and perfectly exploded. In Malaya and Indo-China British and French imperialisms are being shaken to their foundations by powerful and revolutionary national liberation movements. In Africa, there are approximately 190,000,000 Africans as against 4,000,000 Europeans. The entire continent is seething with discontent and already there are powerful revolutionary eruptions in the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Tunisia, Kenya, the Rhodesias and South Africa. The oppressed people and the oppressors are at loggerheads. The day of reckoning between the forces of freedom and those of reaction is not very far off. I have not the slightest doubt that when that day comes truth and justice will prevail.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The intensification of repressions and the extensive use of the bans is designed to immobilise every active worker and to check the national liberation movement. But gone forever are the days when harsh and wicked laws provided the oppressors with years of peace and quiet. The racial policies of the Government have pricked the conscience of all men of good will and have aroused their deepest indignation. The feelings of the oppressed people have never been more bitter. If the ruling circles seek to maintain their position by such inhuman methods then a clash between the forces of freedom and those of reaction is certain. The grave plight of the people compels them to resist to the death the stinking policies of the gangsters that rule our country.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But in spite of all the difficulties outlined above, we have won important victories. The general political level of the people has been considerably raised and they are now more conscious of their strength. Action has become the language of the day. The ties between the working people and the Congress have been greatly strengthened. This is a development of the highest importance because in a country such as ours a political organisation that does not receive the support of the workers is in fact paralysed on the very ground on which it has chosen to wage battle. Leaders of trade union organisations are at the same time important officials of the provincial and local branches of the ANC In the past we talked of the African, Indian and Coloured struggles. Though certain individuals raised the question of a united front of all the oppressed groups, the various non-European organisations stood miles apart from one another and the efforts of those for co-ordination and unity were like a voice crying in the wilderness and it seemed that the day would never dawn when the oppressed people would stand and fight together shoulder to shoulder against a common enemy. Today we talk of the struggle of the oppressed people which, though it is waged through their respective autonomous organisations, is gravitating towards one central command.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our immediate task is to consolidate these victories, to preserve our organisations and to muster our forces for the resumption of the offensive. To achieve this important task the National Executive of the ANC in consultation with the National Action Committee of the ANC and the SAIC formulated a plan of action popularly known as the "M"Plan and the highest importance is [given] to it by the National Executives. Instructions were given to all provinces to implement the "M"Plan without delay.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The underlying principle of this plan is the understanding that it is no longer possible to wage our struggle mainly on the old methods of public meetings and printed circulars. The aim is:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to consolidate the Congress machinery;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to enable the transmission of important decisions taken on a national level to every member of the organisation without calling public meetings, issuing press statements and printing circulars;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to build up in the local branches themselves local Congresses which will effectively represent the strength and will of the people;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to extend and strengthen the ties between Congress and the people and to consolidate Congress leadership.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This plan is being implemented in many branches not only in the Transvaal but also in the other provinces and is producing excellent results. The Regional Conferences held in Sophiatown, Germiston, Kliptown and Benoni on the 28th June, 23rd and 30th August and on the 6th September, 1953, which were attended by large crowds, are a striking demonstration of the effectiveness of this plan, and the National Executives must be complimented for it. I appeal to all members of the Congress to redouble their efforts and play their part truly and well in its implementation. The hard, dirty and strenuous task of recruiting members and strengthening our organisation through a house to house campaign in every locality must be done by you all. From now on the activity of Congressites must not be confined to speeches and resolutions. Their activities must find expression in wide scale work among the masses, work which will enable them to make the greatest possible contact with the working people. You must protect and defend your trade unions. If you are not allowed to have your meetings publicly, then you must hold them over your machines in the factories, on the trains and buses as you travel home. You must have them in your villages and shantytowns. You must make every home, every shack and every mud structure where our people live, a branch of the trade union movement and never surrender.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You must defend the right of African parents to decide the kind of education that shall be given to their children. Teach the children that Africans are not one iota inferior to Europeans. Establish your own community schools where the right kind of education will be given to our children. If it becomes dangerous or impossible to have these alternative schools, then again you must make every home, every shack or rickety structure a centre of learning for our children. Never surrender to the inhuman and barbaric theories of Verwoerd.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The decision to defy the unjust laws enabled Congress to develop considerably wider contacts between itself and the masses and the urge to join Congress grew day by day. But due to the fact that the local branches did not exercise proper control and supervision, the admission of new members was not carried out satisfactorily. No careful examination was made of their past history and political characteristics. As a result of this, there were many shady characters ranging from political clowns, place-seekers, splitters, saboteurs, agents-provocateurs to informers and even policemen, who infiltrated into the ranks of Congress. One need only refer to the Johannesburg trial of Dr. Moroka and nineteen others, where a member of Congress who actually worked at the National Headquarters, turned out to be a detective-sergeant on special duty. Remember the case of Leballo of Brakpan who wormed himself into that Branch by producing faked naming letters from the Liquidator, De Villiers Louw, who had instructions to spy on us. There are many other similar instances that emerged during the Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Kimberley trials. Whilst some of these men were discovered there are many who have not been found out. In Congress there are still many shady characters, political clowns, place-seekers, saboteurs, provocateurs, informers and policemen who masquerade as progressives but who are in fact the bitterest enemies of our organisation. Outside appearances are highly deceptive and we cannot classify these men by looking at their faces or by listening to their sweet tongues or their vehement speeches demanding immediate action. The friends of the people are distinguishable by the ready and disciplined manner in which they rally behind their organisation and their readiness to sacrifice when the preservation of the organisation has become a matter of life and death. Similarly, enemies and shady characters are detected by the extent to which they consistently attempt to wreck the organisation by creating fratricidal strife, disseminating confusion and undermining and even opposing important plans of action to vitalise the organisation. In this respect it is interesting to note that almost all the people who oppose the ''M"Plan are people who have consistently refused to respond when sacrifices were called for, and whose political background leaves much to be desired. These shady characters by means of flattery, bribes and corruption, win the support of the weak-willed and politically backward individuals, detach them from Congress and use them in their own interests. The presence of such elements in Congress constitutes a serious threat to the struggle, for the capacity for political action of an organisation which is ravaged by such disruptive and splitting elements is considerably undermined. Here in South Africa, as in many parts of the world, a revolution is maturing: it is the profound desire, the determination and the urge of the overwhelming majority of the country to destroy for ever the shackles of oppression that condemn them to servitude and slavery. To overthrow oppression has been sanctioned by humanity and is the highest aspiration of every free man. If elements in our organisation seek to impede the realisation of this lofty purpose then these people have placed themselves outside the organisation and must be put out of action before they do more harm. To do otherwise would be a crime and a serious neglect of duty. We must rid ourselves of such elements and give our organisation the striking power of a real militant mass organisation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Kotane, Marks, Bopape, Tloome and I have been banned from attending gatherings and we cannot join and counsel with you on the serious problems that are facing our country. We have been banned because we champion the freedom of the oppressed people of our country and because we have consistently fought against the policy of racial discrimination in favour of a policy which accords fundamental human rights to all, irrespective of race, colour, sex or language. We are exiled from our own people for we have uncompromisingly resisted the efforts of imperialist America and her satellites to drag the world into the rule of violence and brutal force, into the rule of the napalm, hydrogen and the cobalt bombs where millions of people will be wiped out to satisfy the criminal and greedy appetites of the imperial powers. We have been gagged because we have emphatically and openly condemned the criminal attacks by the imperialists against the people of Malaya, Vietnam, Indonesia, Tunisia and Tanganyika and called upon our people to identify themselves unreservedly with the cause of world peace and to fight against the war policies of America and her satellites. We are being shadowed, hounded and trailed because we fearlessly voiced our horror and indignation at the slaughter of the people of Korea and Kenya. The massacre of the Kenya people by Britain has aroused world-wide indignation and protest. Children are being burnt alive, women are raped, tortured, whipped and boiling water poured on their breasts to force confessions from them that Jomo Kenyatta had administered the Mau Mau oath to them. Men are being castrated and shot dead. In the Kikuyu country there are some villages in which the population has been completely wiped out. We are prisoners in our own country because we dared to raise our voices against these horrible atrocities and because we expressed our solidarity with the cause of the Kenya people.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can see that "there is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow (of death) again and again before we reach the mountain tops of our desires"*.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dangers and difficulties have not deterred us in the past, they will not frighten us now. But we must be prepared for them like men in business who do not waste energy in vain talk and idle action. The way of preparation for action lies in our rooting out all impurity and indiscipline from our organisation and making it the bright and shining instrument that will cleave its way to Africa's freedom.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At its height in the late 40s and early 50s, the Hollywood Blacklist attacked the lives and careers of people involved in Motion Pictures who had anything to do with the Communist Party, progressive political causes deemed related to communism, and refusal to assist investigations into the Communist Party. The government used two weapons: jail and economic boycott.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1947 The House Committee of Un-American Activities (HUAC) (created 1938 but preceeded by several Committees with different names which did the same work--as HUAC was succeeded by upon its disbanding) investigated 10 Hollywood workers, who refused to give testimony. The 10 were charged with "contempt of Congress" and the next day the 10 were fired. 1950 a list of 151 Hollywood professionals were named and most were barred from employment.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">This speech was delivered by Mandela at his trial for treason (the accused admitted sabotage but denied initiating guerrilla warfare against the government). It was co-written by two friends, a writer and a journalist. Mandela decided to deliver a political speech rather than make a regular legal defense. The action of making such a speech was inspired by Castro's 4-hour "History Will Absolve Me" speech at Castro's 1953 trial for revolutionary attacks on a Cuban barracks. This speech took Mandela almost 3 hours to read.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i>
<i>Mandela spoke this speech very slowly, and it can be read aloud in an hour (I read half aloud), so reading it takes less than that. </i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i>
<i>The first third explains the rationale and contextualizes the motivation for finally forming a wing of the ANC that uses violence (sabotage). Mandela then speaks to separating the ANC's violent wing and their directives from violent acts committed by other groups. He talks about how, after black violent acts, whites became more reactionary, and whites and blacks became more separated in the struggle which threatened to become a racial civil war. At this point, the white government threatened blacks committing sabotage with death, necessitating--Mandela says--stepping up the level of ANC violence from sabotage to terrorism. Mandela then talks about his tour of Africa, his preparation for guerrilla war, various false charges by the state. He then talks about the ideals and political goals of the ANC, distinguishes the ANC from the Communist Party and explains their inter-relationship. Mandela states his own political beliefs, and speaks praisingly of British and American political institutions. Mandela explains his connections with communism and Communists, details the funding of the ANC, describes the South African economy and labor conditions and the effects of poverty, and closes stating that Apartheid is the reason for these ills, and that he is committed to ending racial segregation.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My Lord, I am the First Accused.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<br />I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Arts and practised as an attorney in Johannesburg for a number of years in partnership with Mr. Oliver Tambo, a co-conspirator in this case. I am a convicted prisoner serving five years for leaving the country without a permit and for inciting people to go on strike at the end of May 1961.<br /><br />I admit immediately that I was one of the persons who helped to form Umkhonto we Sizwe, and that I played a prominent role in its affairs until I was arrested in August 1962. In the statement which I am about to make, I shall correct certain false impressions which have been created by State witnesses; amongst other things I will demonstrate that certain of the acts referred to in the evidence were not, and could not have been committed by Umkhonto. I will also deal with the relationship between the African National Congress and with the part which I personally have played in the affairs of both organisations. I shall deal also with the part played by the Communist Party. In order to explain these matters properly, I will have to explain what Umkhonto set out to achieve; what methods it prescribed for the achievement of these objects, and why these methods were chosen. I will also have to explain how I came, I became involved in the activities of these organisations.<br /><br />At the outset, I want to say that the suggestion made by the state in its opening that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did, both as an individual and as a leader of my people, because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background, and not because of what any outsider might have said.<br /><br />In my youth in the Transkei I listened to the elders of my tribe telling stories of the old days. Amongst the tales they related to me were those of wars fought by our ancestors in defence of the fatherland. The names of Dingane and Bambatha, Hintsa and Makana, Squngathi and Dalasile, Moshoeshoe and Sekhukhune, were praised as the pride and the glory of the entire African nation. I hoped then that life might offer me the opportunity to serve my people and make my own humble contribution to their freedom struggle. This is what has motivated me in all that I have done in relation to the charges made against me in this case.<br /><br />Having said this, I must deal immediately and at some length with the question of sabotage. Some of the things so far told to the Court are true and some are untrue. I do not however, deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness, nor because I have any love for violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation, and oppression of my people by the whites.<br /><br />I deny that Umkhonto was responsible for a number of acts which clearly fell outside the policy of the organisation, but which have been charged in the indictment against us. I do not know what justification there was for these acts, or who committed them, but to demonstrate that they could not have been authorised or committed by Umkhonto, I want to refer briefly to the roots and policy of the organisation.<br /><br />I have already mentioned that I was one of the persons who helped to form Umkhonto. I, and the others who started the organisation, did so for two reasons. Firstly, we believed that as a result of Government policy, violence by the African people had become inevitable, and that unless responsible leadership was given to canalise and control the feelings of our people, there would be outbreaks of terrorism which would produce an intensity of bitterness and hostility between the various races of the country which is not produced even by war.<br /><br />Secondly, we felt that without sabotage there would be no way open to the African people to succeed in their struggle against the principle of white supremacy. All lawful modes of expressing opposition to this principle had been closed by legislation, and we were placed in a position in which we had either to accept a permanent state of inferiority, or to defy the Government. We chose to defy the Government. We first broke the law in a way which avoided any recourse to violence; when this form was legislated against, and when the Government resorted to a show of force to crush opposition to its policies, only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.<br /><br />But the violence which we chose to adopt was not terrorism. We who formed Umkhonto were all members of the African National Congress, and had behind us the ANC tradition of non-violence and negotiation as a means of solving political disputes. We believed that South Africa belonged to all the people who lived in it, and not to one group, be it black or white. We did not want an inter-racial war, and tried to avoid it to the last minute. If the Court is in doubt about this, it will be seen that the whole history of our organisation bears out what I have said, and what I will subsequently say, when I describe the tactics which Umkhonto decided to adopt. I want, therefore, to say something about the African National Congress.<br /><br />The African National Congress was formed in 1912 to defend the rights of the African people which had been seriously curtailed by the South Africa Act, and which were then being threatened by the Native Land Act. For thirty-seven years – that is until 1949 – it adhered strictly to a constitutional struggle. It put forward demands and resolutions; it sent delegations to the Government in the belief that African grievances could be settled through peaceful discussion and that Africans could advance gradually to full political rights. But white governments remained unmoved, and the rights of Africans became less instead of becoming greater. In the words of my leader, Chief Luthuli, who became President of the ANC, and who was later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, I quote:<br /><br />"Who will deny that thirty years of my life have been spent knocking in vain, patiently, moderately, and modestly at a closed and barred door? What have been the fruits of moderation? The past thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws restricting our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all", unquote.<br /><br />Even after 1949, the ANC remained determined to avoid violence. At this time, however, there was a change from the strictly constitutional means of protest which had been employed in the past. The change was embodied in a decision which was taken to protest against apartheid legislation by peaceful, but unlawful, demonstrations against certain laws. Pursuant to this policy the ANC launched the Defiance Campaign, in which I was placed in charge of volunteers. This campaign was based on the principles of passive resistance. More than 8,500 people defied apartheid laws and went to jail. Yet there was not a single instance of violence in the course of this campaign. I, and nineteen colleagues, were convicted for the role and this conviction was under the Suppression of Communism Act although our campaign had nothing to do with communism, but our sentences were suspended, mainly because the Judge found that discipline and non-violence had been stressed throughout. This was the time when the volunteer section of the ANC was established, and when the word 'Amadelakufa' was first used; this was the time when the volunteers were asked to take a pledge to uphold certain principles. Evidence dealing with volunteers and their pledges has been introduced into this case, but completely out of context. The volunteers were not, and are not, the soldiers of a Black army pledged to fight a civil war against whites. They were, and are, dedicated workers who are prepared to lead campaigns initiated by the ANC to distribute leaflets, to organise strikes, or to do whatever the particular campaign required. They are called volunteers because they volunteer to face the penalties of imprisonment and whipping which are now prescribed by the legislature for such acts.<br /><br />During the Defiance Campaign, the Public Safety Act and the Criminal Law Amendment Act were passed. These statutes provided harsher penalties for offences committed by way of protests against laws. Despite this, the protests continued and the ANC adhered to its policy of non-violence.<br /><br />In 1956, 156 leading members of the Congress Alliance, including myself, were arrested on a charge of High Treason and charges under the Suppression of Communism Act. The non-violent policy of the ANC was put in issue by the State, but when the Court gave judgement some five years later, it found that the ANC did not have a policy of violence. We were acquitted on all counts, which included a count that the ANC sought to set up a Communist State in place of the existing regime. The Government has always sought to libel, to label all its opponents as communists. This allegation has been repeated in the present case, but as I will show, the ANC is not, and never has been, a communist organisation.<br /><br />In 1960 there was the shooting at Sharpeville, which resulted in the proclamation of a State of Emergency and the declaration of the ANC as an unlawful organisation. My colleagues and I, after careful consideration, decided that we would not obey this decree. The African people were not part of the Government and did not make the laws by which they were governed. We believed in the words of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that “the will of the people shall be the basis of authority of the Government”, and for us to accept the banning was equivalent to accepting the silencing of the African people for all time. The ANC refused to dissolve, but instead went underground. We believed it was our duty to preserve this organisation which had been built up with almost fifty years of unremitting toil. I have no doubt that no self-respecting white political organisation would disband itself if declared illegal by a government in which it had no say.<br /><br />I now want to deal, My Lord, with evidence which misrepresents the true position in this case. In some of the evidence the M-Plan has been completely misrepresented. It was nothing more than a method of organising planned in 1953, and put into operation with varying degrees of success thereafter. After April 1960 new methods had to be devised, for instance, by relying on smaller committees. The M-Plan was referred to in evidence at the Treason Trial but it had nothing whatsoever to do with sabotage or Umkhonto we Sizwe, and was never adopted by Umkhonto. The confusion, particularly by certain witnesses from the Eastern Cape is, I think, due to the use of the word or the phrase “High Command”. This term was coined in Port Elizabeth during the Emergency, when most of the ANC leaders were gaoled, and the Gaol Committee set up to deal with complaints, was called the High Command. After the Emergency this phrase stuck, and was used to describe certain of the ANC Committees in that area. Thus we have had witnesses talking about the West Bank High Command, and the Port Elizabeth High Command. These so-called “High Commands” came into existence before Umkhonto was formed, and were not concerned in any way with sabotage. In fact, as I will subsequently explain, Umkhonto, as an organisation, was, as far as possible, kept separate from the ANC. This explains, My Lord, why persons like Bennett Mashiyane and Reginald Ndube heard nothing about sabotage at the meetings they attended. But, as has been mentioned the use of the phrase “High Command” caused some dissension in ANC circles in the Eastern Province.<br /><br />I travelled there in 1961, because it was alleged that some of these so-called High Commands were using duress in order to enforce the new Plan. I did not find evidence of this but nevertheless forbade it, and also insisted that the term “High Command” should not be used to describe any ANC committee. My visit and the discussions which took place have been described by Zizi Njikelane, and I admit his evidence in so far as it relates to me. Although it does not seem to have much relevance, I deny that I was taken to the meeting by the taxi driver John Tshingane, and I also deny that I went to the sea with him.<br /><br />My Lord, I would like now to deal with the immediate causes. In 1960 the government held a referendum which led to the establishment of the Republic. Africans, who constituted approximately 70 per cent of the population of South Africa, were not entitled to vote, and were not even consulted about the proposed constitutional change. All of us were apprehensive of our future under the proposed white republic, and a resolution was taken to hold an All-In African Conference to call for a National Convention, and to organise mass demonstrations on the eve of the unwanted Republic, if the Government failed to call the Convention. The conference was attended by Africans of various political persuasions. I was the Honorary Secretary of the Conference, and undertook to be responsible for organising the national stay-at-home which was subsequently called to coincide with the declaration of the Republic. As all strikes by Africans are illegal, the person organising such a strike must avoid arrest. I was chosen to be this person, and consequently I had to leave my home and my family and my practice and go into hiding to avoid arrest.<br /><br />The stay-at-home, in accordance with ANC policy, was to be a peaceful demonstration. Careful instructions were given to organisers and members to avoid any recourse to violence. The Government's answer was to introduce new and harsher laws, to mobilize its armed forces, and to send Saracens, armed vehicles, and soldiers into the townships in a massive show of force designed to intimidate the people. This was an indication that the Government had decided to rule by force alone, and this decision was a milestone on the road to Umkhonto.<br /><br />Some of this may appear irrelevant to this trial. In fact, I believe none of it is irrelevant because it will, I hope, enable the Court to appreciate the attitude towards Umkhonto eventually adopted by the various persons and bodies concerned in the National Liberation Movement. When I went to gaol in 1962, the dominant idea was that loss of life should be avoided. I now know that this was still so in 1963.<br /><br />I must return however, My Lord to June 1961. What were we, the leaders of our people, to do? Were we to give in to the show of force and the implied threat against future action, or were we to fight it out and, if so, how?<br /><br />We had no doubt that we had to continue the fight. Anything else would have been abject surrender. Our problem, My Lord, was not whether to fight, but was how to continue the fight. We of the ANC had always stood for a non-racial democracy, and we shrank from any action which might drive the races further apart than they already were. But the hard facts were that fifty years of non-violence had brought the African people nothing but more and more repressive legislation, and fewer and fewer rights.<br /><br />It may not be easy for this Court to understand, but it is a fact that for a long time the people had been talking of violence – of the day when they would fight the white man and win back their country, and we, the leaders of the ANC, had nevertheless always prevailed upon them to avoid violence and to pursue peaceful methods. When some of us discussed this in June of 1961, it could not be denied that our policy to achieve a non-racial state by non-violence had achieved nothing, and that our followers were beginning to lose confidence in this policy and were developing disturbing ideas of terrorism.<br /><br />It must not be forgotten, My Lord, that by this time violence had, in fact, become a feature of the South African political scene. There had been violence in 1957 when the women of Zeerust were ordered to carry passes; there was violence in 1958 with the enforcement of Bantu Authorities and cattle culling in Sekhukhuneland; there was violence in 1959 when the people of Cato Manor protested against pass raids; there was violence in 1960 when the Government attempted to impose Bantu Authorities in Pondoland. Thirty-nine Africans died in these Pondoland disturbances. In 1961 there had been riots in Warmbaths, and all this time, My Lord, the Transkei had been a seething mass of unrest. Each disturbance pointed clearly to the inevitable growth amongst Africans of the belief that violence was the only way out – it showed that a Government which uses force to maintain its rule teaches the oppressed to use force to oppose it. Already small groups had arisen in the urban areas and were spontaneously making plans for violent forms of political struggle. There now arose a danger that these groups would adopt terrorism against Africans, as well as whites, if not properly directed. Particularly disturbing was the type of violence engendered in places such as Zeerust, Sekhukhuneland, and Pondoland amongst Africans. It was increasingly taking the form, not of struggle against the Government – though this is what prompted it – but of civil strife between pro-government chiefs and those opposed to them conducted in such a way that it could not hope to achieve anything other than a loss of life, and bitterness.<br /><br />At the beginning of June 1961, after a long and anxious assessment of the South African situation, I, and some colleagues, came to the conclusion that as violence [in this country – inaudible] was inevitable, it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the Government met our peaceful demands with force.<br /><br />This conclusion, My Lord, was not easily arrived at. It was when all, only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of struggle, and to form Umkhonto we Sizwe. We did so not because we desired such a course, but solely because the Government had left us with no other choice. In the Manifesto of Umkhonto published on the 16th of December 61, which is Exhibit AD, we said’, I quote:<br /><br />"The time comes in the life of any nation when there remain only two choices – submit or fight. That time has now come to South Africa. We shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means in our power in defence of our people, our future, and our freedom", unquote<br /><br />This was our feeling in June of 1961, when we decided to press for a change in the policy of the National Liberation Movement. I can only say that I felt morally obliged to do what I did.<br /><br />We, who had taken this decision, started to consult leaders of various organisations, including the ANC. I will not say whom we spoke to, or what they said, but I wish to deal with the role of the African National Congress in this phase of the struggle, and with the policy and objectives of Umkhonto we Sizwe.<br /><br />As far as the ANC was concerned, it formed a clear view which can be summarised as follows:<br /><br />a) It was a mass political organisation with a political function to fulfil. Its members had joined on the express policy of non-violence.<br /><br />b) Because of all this, it could not and would not undertake violence. This must be stressed. One cannot turn such a body into the small, closely knit organisation required for sabotage. Nor would this be politically correct, because it would result in members ceasing to carry out this essential activity: political propaganda and organisation. Nor was it permissible to change the whole nature of the organisation.<br /><br />c) On the other hand, in view of this situation I have described, the ANC was prepared to depart from its fifty-year-old policy of non-violence to this extent that it would no longer disapprove of properly controlled sabotage. Hence members who undertook such activity would not be subject to disciplinary action by the ANC.<br /><br />I say “properly controlled sabotage” because I made it clear that if I helped to form the organisation I would at all times subject it to the political guidance of the ANC and would not undertake any different form of activity from that contemplated without the consent of the ANC. And I shall now tell the Court how that form of violence came to be determined.<br /><br />[Unidentified voice says, ‘came to be determined’]<br /><br />As a result of this decision, Umkhonto was formed in 1961, in November 1961. When we took this decision, and subsequently formulated our plans, the ANC heritage of non-violence and racial harmony was very much with us. We felt that the country was drifting towards a civil war in which blacks and whites would fight each other. [tape seems to jump] [We viewed] the situation with alarm. Civil war would mean the destruction of what the ANC stood for; with civil war, racial peace would be more difficult than ever to achieve. We already had examples in South African history of the results of war. It has taken more than fifty years for the scars of the South African War to disappear. How much longer would it take to eradicate the scars of inter-racial civil war, which could not be fought without a great loss of life on both sides?<br /><br />The avoidance of civil war had dominated our thinking for many years, but when we decided to adopt sabotage as part of our policy, we realised that we might one day have to face the prospect of such a war. This had to be taken into account in formulating our plans. We required a plan which was flexible, and which permitted us to act in accordance with the needs of the times; above all, the plan had to be one which recognized civil war as the last resort, and left the decision on this question to the future. We did not want to be committed to civil war, but we wanted to be ready if it became inevitable.<br /><br />Four forms of violence are possible. There is sabotage, there is guerrilla warfare, there is terrorism, and there is open revolution. We chose to adopt the first method and to test it fully before taking any other decision.<br /><br />In the light of our political background the choice was a logical one. Sabotage did not involve loss of life, and it offered the best hope for future race relations. Bitterness would be kept to a minimum and, if the policy bore fruit, democratic government could become a reality. This is what we felt at the time, and this is what we said in our Manifesto, Exhibit AD, I quote:<br /><br />"We of Umkhonto we Sizwe have always sought to achieve liberation without bloodshed and civil clash. We hope, even at this late hour, that our first actions will awaken everyone to a realisation of the disastrous situation to which Nationalist policy is leading. We hope that we will bring the Government and its supporters to their senses before it is too late, so that both the Government and its policies can be changed before matters reach the desperate state of civil war", unquote<br /><br />The initial plan was based on a careful analysis of the political and economic situation of our country. We believed that South Africa depended to a large extent on foreign capital and foreign trade. We felt that planned destruction of power plants, and interference with rail and telephone communications would tend to scare away capital from the country, make it more difficult for goods from the industrial areas to reach the seaports on schedule, and would in the long run be a heavy drain on the economic life of the country, thus compelling the voters of the country to reconsider their position.<br /><br />Attacks on the economic life lines of the country were to be linked with sabotage on Government buildings and other symbols of apartheid. These attacks would serve as a source of inspiration to our people and encourage them to participate in non-violent mass action such as strikes. In addition, they would provide an outlet for those people who were urging the adoption of violent methods and would enable us to give concrete proof to our followers that we had adopted a stronger line, and we were fighting back against Government violence.<br /><br />In addition, if mass action were successfully organised, and mass reprisals taken, we felt that sympathy for our cause would be roused in other countries, and that greater pressure would be brought to bear on the South African Government.<br /><br />This then, My Lord was the plan. Umkhonto was to perform sabotage, and strict instructions were given to its members right from the start, that on no account were they to injure or kill people in planning or carrying out operations. These instructions have been referred to in the evidence of “X” and “Z”.<br /><br />The affairs of Umkhonto were controlled and directed by a National High Command, which had powers of co-option and which could, and did, appoint Regional Commands. The High Command was the body which determined tactics and targets and was in charge of training and finance. Under the High Command there were Regional Commands which were responsible for the direction of the local sabotage groups. Within the framework of the policy laid down by the National High Command, the Regional Commands had authority to select the targets to be attacked. They had no authority whatsoever to go beyond the prescribed framework and thus had no authority to embark upon acts which endangered lives, or which did not fit into the overall plan of sabotage. For instance, Umkhonto members were forbidden ever to go armed into operation. Incidentally, the terms High Command and Regional Command were an importation from the Jewish national underground organization the Irgun Zvai Leumi, which operated in Israel between 1944 and 1948.<br /><br />Umkhonto had its first operation on the 16th of December 1961, when Government buildings in Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Durban were attacked. The selection of targets is proof of the policy to which I have referred. Had we intended to attack life, we would have selected targets where people congregated and not empty buildings and power stations. The sabotage which was committed before the 16th of December 1961 was the work of isolated groups and had no connection whatsoever with Umkhonto. In fact, My Lord, some of these and a number of later acts were claimed by other organisations.<br /><br />Now My Lord, at this stage I would like to refer very briefly to a number of newspaper cuttings.<br /><br />Justice De Wet: Yes well before you get there [inaudible] I will take the adjournment.<br /><br />I was just about to refer Your Lordship to a number of newspaper cuttings. [Judge: Yes] It’s not my intention, My Lord. to hand them in [Judge: Yes] but I merely wish to use them [Judge: Yes] to illustrate the point I had made, that before December 1961 it was common knowledge in the townships and throughout the country that there existed a number of bodies other than Umkhonto which planned and carried out acts of sabotage, and that some of the acts which took place during the period of the indictment were in fact claimed by some of these organisations.<br /><br />The first newspaper cutting I wish to refer Your Lordship to is the Rand Daily Mail of the 22nd of December 1961. An article that appears on the front page – the caption, My Lord, reads as follows :<br /><br />“We bombed two pylons, group claims”<br /><br />And then I just wish to refer Your Lordship just to two passages:<br /><br />“The bombing of two power pylons at Rembrandt Park, Johannesburg, on Wednesday night was claimed as the work of the National Committee for Liberation in a typewritten document on a sheet of common writing paper, put into the Rand Daily Mail Christmas Fund Jackpot box during Wednesday night or early yesterday.”<br /><br />And then the penultimate passage in the article reads as follows:<br /><br />“The statement said that the NCL was not aligned with [“the Assegai of the Nation” –inaudible] – I presume My Lord, that it is the Spear of the Nation, which is the translation of Umkhonto we Sizwe.<br /><br />“The group claims responsibility for the bomb outrages during the weekend, although both supported the liberatory movement, the NCL was non-racial, it was stated.”<br /><br />That’s the first cutting I wish to refer to My Lord. Then the second one is also a copy of the Rand Daily Mail of 15th of April 1963, and the article I wish to refer to is on page 2. It’s a very short article, My Lord, I will read it. The caption is:<br /><br />“Forty-three held in petrol bomb incident. Forty-three Africans are now being held by Johannesburg police in connection with the petrol bomb attack last week on a store in Pritchard Street, Johannesburg. Most of the Africans were arrested in Johannesburg’s South- Western townships. They were alleged to have threatened a watchman, after telling him they wanted to steal garments from the shop. Police said that five more Africans had been arrested in the vicinity of King William’s Town after last week’s attack on the town’s police station. This brings the total number of arrests to forty-one. Africans arrested after the two incidents are alleged members of the Poqo organisation. Although it is believed that a number of other Poqo members were arrested on the Reef and in other areas, no figures were available last night. The police [apparent jump in the recording] [are still continuing their investigation] and the final figure of the total number of Poqo suspects arrested yet so far cannot yet be given.”<br /><br /><br /><br />Then the third one, My Lord, is again a copy of the Rand Daily Mail of the 9th November 1963. And the particular article appears, My Lord, on page ten. Your Lordship will probably remember this matter. It was referred to during the argument on the second application to quash the indictment. Reference was made, both the State and the defence, to the judgment of Mr Justice van Heerden of the Cape Provincial Division. The accused in this case, My Lord, were arrested on the 12th of July 1963, according to the report and presumable for acts which are, were alleged to have been committed during the period prior to the 12th of July 1963. And I assume that that will cover the period of the indictment. This relates to what is known as the Yu Chi Chan Guerilla Warfare Club. And according to this report, I will not read it My Lord, but just to mention that they were preparing a revolution and guerrilla warfare.<br /><br />I wish to refer to a photostatic copy of the Rand Daily Mail of the 29th of November 1962. We couldn’t get the actual copy of the Mail itself. And the article which I want to refer to appears on the first page. I just want to refer, again, just to two passages. The caption reads:<br /><br />“Police put on strict guard after Rand blast. Security Police yesterday threw a light, tight cordon around an Eskom power pylon which was dynamited in the early hours of the morning disrupting train services in Germiston and Pretoria. A senior police spokesmen said, quote ‘there is no doubt it was sabotage’”, unquote.<br /><br />Then the last paragraph read as follows:<br /><br />“A woman telephoned the Rand Daily Mail last night and said, quote: “the explosion at Putfontein last night was the work of the National Committee of Liberation” unquote, then she put down the telephone”.<br /><br />In other words, My Lord, there were a number of bodies which, during the period of indictment planned and carried out acts of sabotage.<br /><br />Now My Lord the Manifesto of Umkhonto was issued on the day that operations commenced. The response to our actions and Manifesto among the white population was characteristically violent. The Government threatened to take strong action, and called upon its supporters to stand firm and to ignore the demands of the Africans. The whites failed to respond by suggesting change; they responded to our call by retreating behind the laager.<br /><br />In contrast, the response of the Africans was one of encouragement. Suddenly there was hope again. Things were happening. People in the townships became eager for political news. A great deal of enthusiasm was generated by the initial successes, and people began to speculate on how soon freedom would be obtained.<br /><br />But we in Umkhonto weighed up the whites’ response with anxiety. The lines were being drawn. The whites and blacks were moving into separate camps, and the prospects of avoiding a civil war were diminishing. The white newspapers carried reports that sabotage would be punished by death. If this was so, how could we continue to keep Africans away from terrorism?<br /><br />I now wish, My Lord, to turn to the question of guerrilla warfare and how it came to be considered. By 1961 scores of Africans had died as a result of racial friction. In 1920 when the famous leader, Masabalala, was held in Port Elizabeth jail, twenty-four of a group of Africans who had gathered to demand his release were killed by the police and white civilians. More than one hundred Africans died in the Bulhoek affair. In 1924 over two hundred Africans were killed when the Administrator of South-West Africa led a force against a group which had rebelled against the imposition of dog tax. On the 1st of May 1950, eighteen Africans died as a result of police shootings during the strike. On the 21st of March 1960, sixty-nine unarmed Africans died at Sharpeville.<br /><br />How many more Sharpevilles would there be in the history of our country? And how many more Sharpevilles could the country stand without violence and terror becoming the order of the day? And what would happen to our people when that stage was reached? In the long run we felt certain we must succeed, but at what cost to ourselves and the rest of the country? And if this happened, how could black and white ever live together again in peace and harmony? These were the problems that faced us, and these were our decisions.<br /><br />Experience convinced us that rebellion would offer the Government limitless opportunities for the indiscriminate slaughter of our people. But it was precisely because the soil of South Africa is already drenched with the blood of innocent Africans that we felt it our duty to make preparations as a long-term undertaking to use force in order to defend ourselves against force. If war became inevitable, we wanted to be ready when the time came, and for the fight to be conducted on terms most favourable to our people. The fight which held out the best prospects for us and the least risk of life to both sides was guerrilla warfare. We decided, therefore, in our preparations for the future, to make provision for the possibility of guerrilla warfare.<br /><br />All whites undergo compulsory military training, but no such training is given to Africans. It was in our view essential to build up a nucleus of trained men who would be able to provide the leadership which would be required if guerrilla warfare started. We had to prepare for such a situation before it became too late to make proper preparations. It was also necessary to build up a nucleus of men trained in civil administration and other professions, so that Africans would be equipped to participate in the government of this country as soon as they were allowed to do so.<br /><br />At this stage, My Lord, the ANC decided that I should attend the Conference of the Pan-African Freedom Movement for Central, East, and Southern Africa, which was to be held in 1962 in Addis Ababa, and, it was also decided that, after the conference, I would undertake a tour of the African States with a view to soliciting support for our cause and obtaining scholarships for the higher education of matriculated Africans. At the same time the MK decided I should investigate whether facilities were available for the training of soldiers which was the first stage in the preparation for guerrilla warfare. Training in both fields would be necessary, even if changes in South Africa came about by peaceful means. As I have just explained, administrators would be necessary who would be willing and able to administer a non-racial state and so men, and so would men be necessary to control the army and police force of such a state.<br /><br />It was on this note that I left South Africa to proceed to Addis Ababa as a delegate of the ANC. My tour was successful beyond all our hopes. Wherever I went I met sympathy for our cause and promises of help. All Africa was united against the stand of white South Africa, and even in London I was received with great sympathy by political leaders, such as the late Mr. Hugh Gaitskell and Mr. Grimond. In Africa I was promised support by such men as Julius Nyerere, now President of Tanganyika; Mr. Kawawa, then Prime Minister of Tanganyika; Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia; General Abboud, President of the Sudan; Habib Bourguiba, President of Tunisia; Ben Bella, now President of Algeria; Modibo Keita, President of Mali; Leopold Senghor, President of Senegal; Sekou Toure, President of Guinea; President Tubman of Liberia; and Milton Obote, Prime Minister of Uganda and Kenneth Kaunda, now Prime Minister of Northern Rhodesia. It was Ben Bella who invited me to visit Oujda, the Headquarters of the Algerian Army of National Liberation, the visit which is described in my diary, one of the exhibits.<br /><br />I had already started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and, whilst abroad, underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare, I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them. Notes of lectures which I received in Ethiopia and Algeria are contained in exhibits produced in evidence. Summaries of books on guerrilla warfare and military strategy have also been produced. I have already admitted that these documents are in my writing, and I acknowledge that I made these studies to equip myself for the role which I might have to play if the struggle drifted into guerrilla warfare. I approached this question as every African nationalist should do. I was completely objective. The Court will see that I attempted to examine all types of authority on the subject – from the East and from the West, going back to the classic work of Clausewitz, and covering such a variety as Mao Tse Tung, Che Guevara on the one hand, and the writings on the Anglo-Boer War on the other. Of course, these notes, My Lord, are merely summaries of the books I read and do not contain my personal views.<br /><br />I also made arrangements for our recruits to undergo military training. But here, My Lord, it was impossible to organise any scheme without the co-operation of the ANC offices in Africa. I consequently obtained the permission of the ANC in South Africa to do this. To this extent then there was a departure from the original decision of the ANC that it would not take part in violent methods of struggle, but it applied outside South Africa only. The first batch of recruits actually arrived in Tanganyika when I was passing through that country on my way back to South Africa.<br /><br />I returned to South Africa and reported to my colleagues on the results of my trip. On my return I found that there had been little alteration in the political scene save that the threat of a death penalty for sabotage had now become a fact. The attitude of my colleagues in Umkhonto was much the same as it had been before I left. They were feeling their way cautiously and felt that it would be a long time before the possibilities of sabotage were exhausted. The ANC had also not changed its attitude. In fact, My Lord, the view was expressed by some that the training of recruits was premature. This is recorded by me in the document which is Exhibit R14 which are very rough notes of comments made by others on my report back meeting after a full discussion, however, it was decided to go ahead with the plans for military training because of the fact that it would take many years to build up a sufficient nucleus of trained soldiers to start a guerrilla campaign, and whatever happened the training would be of value.<br /><br />I want to deal now with some of the evidence of the Witness “X”. Immediately before my arrest in August 1962, I met members of the Regional Command in Durban. This meeting has been referred to in “X”’s evidence. Much of his account is substantially correct, but much of it is slanted and is distorted, and in some important respects untruthful. I want to deal with the evidence as briefly as possible.<br /><br />a) I did say that I had left the country early in the year to attend the PAFMECSA Conference, that the Conference was opened by the Emperor Haile Selassie who attacked the racial policies of the South African government, and who pledged support to the African people in this country. I also informed them of the unanimous resolution condemning the ill treatment of the African people here and promising support. I did tell them that the Emperor sent his warmest felicitations to my leader Chief Luthuli.<br /><br />b) But I never told them of any comparison made between Ghanaians and South African recruits, and could not have done so for very simple reasons. By the time I left Ethiopia the first South African recruits had not yet reached that country. And Ghanaian soldiers, as far as I am aware, received training in the United Kingdom. This being the fact and my understanding I could not possibly have thought of telling the Regional Command that the Emperor of Ethiopia thought our trainees were better than the Ghanaians.<br /><br />c) These statements, therefore, are sheer invention unless they were suggested to “X” by someone wishing to create a false picture.<br /><br />d) I did tell them of financial support received in Ethiopia and in other parts of Africa. I certainly did not tell him that certain African states had promised us one percent of their budgets. These suggestions of donating one percent never arose during my visit. It arose for the first time, as far as I am aware, at the Conference in May 1963 by which time I had been in jail for ten months.<br /><br />e) Despite “X”’s alleged failure to remember this I did speak of scholarships promised in Ethiopia. Such general education of our people has always, as I have pointed out, been an important aspect of our plan.<br /><br />f) I did tell them I had travelled through Africa and had been received by a number of Heads of State, mentioned them all by name. I also told them of President Ben Bella’s invitation to me to go to Oujda where I met officers of the Algerian army including their Commander in Chief Colonel Boumediene. I also said that Algerians had promised assistance with training and arms. But I certainly did not say they must hide the fact that they were communists because I did not know whether they were communists or not. What I did say was that no communist should use his position in Umkhonto for communist propaganda, neither in South Africa nor beyond the borders because unity of purpose was essential for achieving freedom. What we aimed at was the vote for all and on this basis we could appeal to all social groups in South Africa, and expect the maximum support from the African states. “X” denies that I could not have suggested any other than the true objective nor could there have been any possible reason for hiding it.<br /><br />g) It was in this context that I discussed New Age and its criticism of the Egyptian government. In speaking of my visit to Egypt, I said that my visit had coincided with that of Marshal Tito, and that I had not been able to wait until General Nasser was free to interview me. I said that the officials whom I had seen had expressed criticism of articles appearing in New Age which had dealt with General Nasser’s attacks on communism. But that I told them that New Age did not necessarily express the policy of our movement, and that I will take up this complaint with New Age and try and use my influence to change their line because it was not our duty to say in what manner any state should achieve its freedom.<br /><br />h) I told the Regional Committee that I had not visited Cuba but that I had met that country’s ambassadors in Egypt, Morocco and Ghana. I spoke of the warm affection with which I was received at these embassies. And that we were offered all forms of assistance including scholarships for our youth. In dealing with the question of white and Asian recruits, I did say that as Cuba was a multi-racial country, it would be logical to send such persons to this country as these recruits would fit in more easily there than with black soldiers in African states.<br /><br />i) But I never discussed Eric Mtshali at the meeting for the simple reason that I did not know him until I heard his name mentioned by “X” in this case. On my return to Tanganyika after touring the African continent I met about thirty South African young men, who were on their way to Ethiopia for training. I addressed them on discipline and good behaviour while abroad. Eric Mtshali may have been amongst these young men, but in any event, if he was, this must have been before he visited any African state other than Tanganyika. And in Tanganyika he would not have starved or been in difficulties since our office there would have looked after him. It would be absurd to suggest that the South African office in Dar es Salaam would discriminate against him on the ground that he was a communist.<br /><br />j) Of course, I referred to Umkhonto we Sizwe, but it cannot be true to say that they heard from me for the first time that this was the name or that it was the military wing of the ANC – a phrase much used by the State in this trial. A proclamation had been issued by Umkhonto on the 16th December 1961 announcing the existence of the body and its name had been known for seven months before the time of this meeting. And I had certainly never referred to it as the military wing of the ANC. I always regarded it as a separate organisation and endeavoured to keep it as such.<br /><br />k) I did tell them that the activities of Umkhonto might go through two phases, namely: acts of sabotage and possible guerrilla warfare, if that became necessary. I dealt with the problems relating to each phase but I did not say that people were scouting out areas suitable for guerrilla warfare because no such thing was being done at the time, at that time. I stressed, just as he said, that the most important thing was to study our history – our own history and our own situation. We must of course, study the experiences of other countries also. And in doing so we must study not only the cases where revolutions were victorious but also cases where revolutions were defeated. But I did not discuss the training of people in East Germany as testified by “X”.<br /><br />i) – I did not produce any photograph in Spark or New Age as testified to by “X”. These photos were only published on the 21st of February 1963 after I was in jail. While referring to “X”’s evidence there is one other fact that I want to mention, “X” said that the sabotage which was committed on the 15th of October 1962 was in protest against my conviction and that the decision to commit such sabotage had been taken between the date of conviction and the date of sentence. He also said that the sabotage was held over for a few days because it was thought that the police would be on their watch on the day that I was sentenced. All this must be untrue. I was convicted, My Lord, on the 7th of November 1962, and was sentenced on the same day to five years imprisonment with hard labour. The sabotage in October 1962 could therefore not have had anything to do with my conviction and sentence.<br /><br />My Lord, I wish now to turn to certain general allegations made in this case by the State. But before doing so, I wish to revert to certain occurrences said by witnesses to have happened in Port Elizabeth and East London. I am referring to the bombing of private houses of pro-government persons during December, during September, October and November 1962. I do not know what justification there was for these acts, nor what provocation had been given. But if what I have said already is accepted, then it is clear that these acts had nothing to do with the carrying out of the policy of Umkhonto.<br /><br /><br /><br />One of the chief allegations in the indictment is that the ANC was a party to a general conspiracy to commit sabotage. I have already explained why this is incorrect but how externally there was a departure from the original principle laid down by the ANC. There have, of course, My Lord, been overlapping of functions internally as well because there is a difference between a resolution adopted in the atmosphere of a committee room and the complete difficulties that arise in the field of practical activity. At a later stage the position was further affected by bannings and house arrests and by persons leaving the country to take up political work abroad. This led to individuals having to do work in different capacities. But though this may have blurred the distinction between Umkhonto and the ANC, it by no means abolished that distinction. Great care was taken to keep the activities of the two organisations in South Africa distinct. The ANC remained a mass political body of Africans only carrying on the type of political work they have conducted prior to 1961. Umkhonto remained a small organisation recruiting its members from different races and organisations, and trying to achieve its own particular objectives. The fact that members of Umkhonto recruited from the ANC, and the fact that persons served both organisations, like Solomon Mbanjwa, did not in our view change the nature of the ANC or give it a policy of violence. This overlapping of officers, however, was more the exception than the rule. This is why, My Lord, persons such as “X” and “Z” who were on the Regional Command of their respective areas did not participate in any of the ANC committees or activities, and why people such as Bennett Mashiyane and Reginald Ndube did not hear of sabotage at their ANC meetings.<br /><br />Another of the allegations in the indictment is that Rivonia was the headquarters of Umkhonto. This is not true of the time when I was there. I was told, of course, and knew that certain of the activities of the Communist Party were carried on there. But this was no reason, as I shall presently explain, why I should not use the place.<br /><br />I came there in the following manner:<br /><br />a) As already indicated, early in April 1961 I went underground to organise the May general strike. My work entailed travelling throughout the country, living now in African townships, then in country villages and again in cities. During the second half of the year I started visiting the Parktown home of Mr. Arthur Goldreich, where I used to meet my family privately. Although I had no direct political association with him, I had known Mr. Goldreich socially since 1958.<br /><br />b) In October, Mr. Goldreich informed me that he was moving out of town and offered me a hiding place there. A few days thereafter, he arranged for Mr. Michael Harmel, another co-conspirator in this case, to take me to Rivonia. I naturally found Rivonia an ideal place for the man who lived the life of an outlaw. Up to that time I had been compelled to live indoors during the daytime and could only venture out under cover of darkness. But at Liliesleaf I could live differently and work far more efficiently.<br /><br />c) For obvious reasons, I had to disguise myself and I assumed the fictitious name of David. In December, Mr. Goldreich and his family also moved in. I stayed there, My Lord, until I went abroad on the 11th January 1962. As already indicated, I returned in July 1962 and was arrested in Natal on the 5th August.<br /><br />d) Up to the time of my arrest, Liliesleaf farm was the headquarters of neither the African National Congress nor Umkhonto. With the exception of myself, none of the officials or members of these bodies lived there, no meetings of the governing bodies were ever held there, and no activities connected with them were either organised or directed from there. On numerous occasions during my stay at Liliesleaf farm I met both the Executive Committee of the ANC, as well as the National High Command, but such meetings were held elsewhere and not on the farm.<br /><br />e) Whilst staying at Liliesleaf farm, I frequently visited Mr. Goldreich in the main house and he also paid me visits in my room. We had numerous political discussions covering a variety of subjects. We discussed ideological and practical questions, the Congress Alliance, Umkhonto and its activities generally, and his experiences as a soldier in the Palmach, the military wing of the Haganah. Haganah was the political authority of the Jewish National Movement in Palestine.<br /><br />f) Because of what I had got to know of Mr. Goldreich, I recommended on my return to South Africa that he should be recruited to Umkhonto. I do not know, of my personal knowledge whether this was done.<br /><br />g) Before I went on my tour of Africa, I lived in the room marked twelve on Exhibit A. On my return in July 1962 I lived in the thatched cottage. The evidence of Joseph Mashefane that I lived in room number twelve during the period that he was there, at the farm, is incorrect.<br /><br />Another of the allegations made by the State is that the aims and objects of the ANC and the Communist Party are the same. I wish to deal with this and with my own political position. The allegation as to the ANC is false. This is an old allegation which was disproved at the Treason Trial, and which has again reared its head. But since the allegation had been made again I shall deal with it as well as with the relationship between the ANC and the Communist Party and Umkhonto and that Party.<br /><br />The ideological creed of the ANC is, and always has been, the creed of African Nationalism. It is not the concept of African Nationalism expressed in the cry, 'Drive the White man into the sea'. The African Nationalism for which the ANC stands is the concept of freedom and fulfilment for the African people in their own land. The most important political document ever adopted by the ANC is the Freedom Charter. It is by no means a blueprint for a socialist state. It calls for redistribution, but not nationalisation, of land; it provides for nationalisation of mines, banks, and monopoly industry, because monopolies, big monopolies are owned by one race only, and without such nationalisation racial domination would be perpetuated despite the spread of political power. It would be a hollow gesture to repeal the Gold Law prohibitions against Africans when all gold mines are owned by European companies. In this respect the ANC's policy corresponds with the old policy of the present Nationalist Party which, for many years, had as part of its programme the nationalisation of the gold mines which, at that time, were controlled by foreign capital. Under the Freedom Charter, nationalisation would take place in an economy based on private enterprise. The realisation of the Freedom Charter would open up fresh fields for a prosperous African population of all classes, including the middle class. The ANC has never at any period of its history advocated a revolutionary change in the economic structure of the country, nor has it, to the best of my recollection, ever condemned capitalist society.<br /><br />As far as the Communist Party is concerned, and if I understand its policy correctly, it stands for the establishment of a State based on the principles of Marxism. Although it is prepared to work for the Freedom Charter, as a short term solution to the problems created by white supremacy, it regards the Freedom Charter as the beginning, and not the end, of its programme.<br /><br />The ANC, unlike the Communist Party, admitted Africans only as members. Its chief goal was, and is, for the African people to win unity and full political rights. The Communist Party's main aim, on the other hand, was to remove the capitalists and to replace them with a working-class government. The Communist Party sought to emphasise class distinctions whilst the ANC seeks to harmonise them. This is, My Lord, a vital distinction.<br /><br />It is true that there has often been close co-operation between the ANC and the Communist Party. But co-operation is merely proof of a common goal – in this case the removal of white supremacy – and is not proof of a complete community of interests.<br /><br />My Lord, the history of the world is full of similar examples. Perhaps the most striking illustration is to be found in the co-operation between Great Britain, the United States of America, and the Soviet Union in the fight against Hitler. Nobody but Hitler would have dared to suggest that such co-operation turned Churchill or Roosevelt into communists or communist tools, or that Britain and America were working to bring about a communist world.<br /><br />My Lord, I give these illustrations because they are relevant to the allegation that our sabotage was a communist plot or the work of so-called agitators. Because, My Lord, another instance of such co-operation is to be found precisely in Umkhonto. Shortly after Umkhonto was constituted, I was informed by some of its members that the Communist Party would support Umkhonto, and this then occurred. At a later stage the support was made openly.<br /><br />I believe that communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements. Thus communists, My Lord, have played an important role in the freedom struggles fought in countries such as Malaya, Algeria, and Indonesia, yet none of these states today are communist countries. Similarly in the underground resistance movements which sprung up in Europe during the last World War, communists played an important role. Even General Chiang Kai-Shek, today one of the bitterest enemies of communism, fought together with the communists against the ruling class in the struggle which led to his assumption of power in China in the 1930s.<br /><br />This pattern of co-operation between communists and non-communists has been repeated in the National Liberation Movement of South Africa. Prior to the banning of the Communist Party, joint campaigns involving the Communist Party and the Congress movements were accepted practice. African communists could, and did, become members of the ANC, and some served on the National, Provincial, and local committees. Amongst those who served on the National Executive are Albert Nzula, a former Secretary of the Communist Party, another former Secretary, Edwin Mofutsanyana and J. B. Marks, a former member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.<br /><br />I joined the ANC in 1944, and in 1952 I became Transvaal President and Deputy National President. In my younger days I held the view that the policy of admitting communists to the ANC, and the close co-operation which existed at times on specific issues between the ANC and the Communist Party, would lead to a watering down of the concept of African Nationalism. At that stage I was a member of the African National Congress Youth League, and was one of a group which moved for the expulsion of communists from the ANC. This proposal was heavily defeated, and amongst those who voted against the proposal were some of the most conservative sections of African political opinion. They defended the policy on the ground that from its inception the ANC was formed and built up, not as a political party with one school of political thought, but as a Parliament of the African people accommodating people of various political views –convictions, all united by the common goal of national liberation. I was eventually won over to this point of view and I have upheld it ever since.<br /><br />It is perhaps difficult for white South Africans, with an ingrained prejudice against communism, to understand why experienced African politicians so readily accept communists as their friends. But to us the reason is obvious. Theoretical differences, amongst those fighting against oppression, is a luxury which cannot be afforded. What is more, for many decades communists were the only political group in South Africa who were prepared to treat Africans as human beings and as their equals; who were prepared to eat with us; talk with us, live with us, and work with us. They were the only political group which was prepared to work with the Africans for the attainment of political rights and a stake in society. Because of this, there are many Africans who today tend to equate freedom with communism. They are supported in this belief by a legislature which brands all exponents of democratic government and African freedom as communists and bannned many of them, who are not communists, under the Suppression of Communism Act. Although My Lord I am not a communist and I have never been a member of the Communist Party, I myself have been banned, have been named under that pernicious Act because of the role I played in the Defiance Campaign. I have also been banned and convicted under that Act.<br /><br />It is not only in internal politics that we count communists as amongst those who support our cause. In the international field, communist countries have always come to our aid. In the United Nations and other Councils of the world the communist bloc has supported the Afro-Asian struggle against colonialism and often seems to be more sympathetic to our plight than some of the Western powers. Although there is a universal condemnation of apartheid, the communist bloc speaks out against it with a louder voice than most of the western world. In these circumstances, it would take a brash young politician, such as I was in 1949, to proclaim that the Communists are our enemies.<br /><br />Judge: Well Mandela it is time for the court to adjourn.<br /><br /><br /><br />My Lord, I wish now to turn to my own position. I have denied that I am a communist, and I think in the circumstances I am obliged to state exactly what my political beliefs are in order to explain what my position in Umkhonto was, and what my attitude towards the use of force is.<br /><br />I have always regarded myself, in the first place, as an African patriot. After all, I was born in Umtata, forty-six years ago. My guardian was my cousin, who was the acting paramount chief of Thembuland, and I am related both to Sabata Dalindyebo, the present paramount chief, and to Kaiser Matanzima, the Chief Minister for the Transkei.<br /><br />Today I am attracted by the idea of a classless society, an attraction which springs in part from Marxist reading and, in part, from my admiration of the structure and organisation of early African societies in this country. The land, then the main means of production, belonged to the tribe. There was no rich or poor and there was no exploitation.<br /><br />It is true, as I have already stated that I have been influenced by Marxist thought. But this is also true of many of the leaders of the new independent states. Such widely different persons as Gandhi, Nehru, Nkrumah, and Nasser all acknowledge this fact. We all accept the need for some form of socialism to enable our people to catch up with the advanced countries of the world and to overcome their legacy of extreme poverty. But this does not mean we are Marxists.<br /><br />Indeed, My Lord, for my own part, I believe it is open to debate whether the Communist Party has any specific role to play at this particular stage of our political struggle. The basic task at the present moment is the removal of race discrimination and the attainment of democratic rights on the basis of the Freedom Charter, and a struggle which can best be led by a strong ANC. In so far, My Lord, as that Party furthers this task, I welcome its assistance. I realise that it is one of the main means by which people of all races can be drawn into our struggle.<br /><br />But from my reading of Marxist literature and from conversations with Marxists, I have gained the impression that communists regard the parliamentary system of the work - of the West as undemocratic and reactionary. But, on the contrary, I am an admirer of such a system.<br /><br />The Magna Carta, the Petition of Rights, the Bill of Rights are documents which are held in veneration by democrats throughout the world.<br /><br />I have great respect for British political institutions, and for the country's system of justice. I regard the British Parliament as the most democratic institution in the world, and the independence and impartiality of its judiciary never fail to arouse my admiration.<br /><br />The American Congress, that country's doctrine of separation of powers, as well as the independence of its judiciary, arouse in me similar sentiments.<br /><br />I have been influenced in my thinking by both West and East. All this has led me to feel that in my search for a political formula, I should be absolutely impartial and objective. I should tie myself to no particular system of society other than that of socialism. I must leave myself free to borrow the best from West and from the East.<br /><br /><br /><br />I wish now to deal with some of the exhibits. Many of the exhibits are in my handwriting. It has always been my custom to reduce to writing the material which I have been studying.<br /><br />Exhibits R20, 21 and 22 are lectures drafted in my own hand but they are not my original work. They came to be written in the following circumstances:<br /><br />For several years an old friend [unidentified person coughs] whom I worked very closely on ANC matters and who occupied senior positions both in the ANC and the Communist Party had been trying to get me to join the Communist Party. I had had many debates with him on the role the Communist Party can play at this stage of our struggle. And I advanced to him the same views in regard to my political beliefs which I have described earlier in my statement. In order to convince me that I should join the Communist Party, she from time to time gave me Marxist literature to read, thought I did not have – always find time to do this. Each of us always stuck to our guns in our arguments as to whether I should join the Communist Party. She [sic] maintained that on achieving freedom we would be unable to solve our problems of poverty and inequality without establishing a communist state and we would require trained Marxists to do this. I maintained my attitude that no ideological differences should be introduced until freedom had been achieved. I saw him on several occasions at Liliesleaf farm, and on one of the last of these occasions he was busy writing with books around him. When I asked him what he was doing he told me that he was busy writing lectures for use in the Communist Party, and suggested that I should read them. There were several lectures in draft form. After I had done so I told him that they seemed far too complicated for the ordinary reader.<br /><br /><br /><br />Judge: I didn’t catch the name – who do you say this man is you were talking to?<br /><br />Mandela: I beg your pardon, My Lord<br /><br />Judge: Who is the man you are referring to?<br /><br />Mandela: My Lord, as a matter of principle<br /><br />Judge: No, I thought you had mentioned his name<br /><br />Mandela: I didn’t mention his name<br /><br />Judge: Well go on then Mandela: and that was done<br /><br />Judge: Yes<br /><br />Mandela: deliberately<br /><br />Judge: Yes<br /><br />Mandela: I was saying, My Lord, after I had read I told him that they seemed far too complicated for the ordinary reader in that the language was obtuse and they were full of usual communistic clichés and jargon. If the court will look at some of the standard works of Marxism, my point will be demonstrated. He said it was impossible to simplify the language without losing the effect of what the author was trying to stress. I disagreed with him and then he asked me to see whether I could redraft the lectures in the simplified form suggested by me. I agreed to help him and set to work in an endeavour to do this but I never finished the task as I later became occupied with other practical work which was more important. I never again saw the unfinished manuscript until it was produced at this trial. I wish to state that it is not my handwriting which appears on Exhibit R23 which was obviously drafted by the person who prepared the lectures.<br /><br />My Lord, there are certain exhibits which suggest that we received financial support from abroad, and I wish now to deal with this question. [audio interference throughout the previous sentence]<br /><br />[audio interference] Our political struggle has always been financed from internal sources – from funds raised by our own people and by our own supporters. Whenever we had a special campaign or an important political case we received financial assistance from sympathetic individuals and organisations in the Western countries. We have never felt it necessary to go beyond these sources.<br /><br />But when in 1961 the Umkhonto was formed, and a new phase of struggle introduced, we realised that these events would make a heavy call on our slender resources, and that the scale of our activities would be hampered by lack of funds. One of my instructions, as I went abroad in January 1962, was to raise funds from the African states.<br /><br />I must add that whilst abroad, I had discussions with leaders of political movements in Africa and discovered that almost every single one of them, in areas which had still not attained independence, had received all forms of assistance from the socialist countries, as well as from the West, including that of financial support. I also discovered that some well-known African states, all of them non-communists, and even anti-communists, had received similar assistance.<br /><br />On my return to the Republic, I made a strong recommendation to the ANC that we should not confine ourselves to Africa and the Western countries, but that we should also send a mission to the socialist countries to raise the funds which we so urgently needed.<br /><br />I have been told that after I was convicted such a mission was sent.<br /><br />As I understand the State case, and in particular the evidence of “X”, Umkhonto was the inspiration of the Communist Party which sought, by playing upon imaginary grievances, to enrol the African people into an army which ostensibly was to fight for African freedom, but in reality was fighting for a communist state. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the suggestion is preposterous. Umkhonto was formed by Africans to further their struggle for freedom. Communists and others supported the movement, and we only wish that more sections of the community would join us.<br /><br />Our fight is against real and not imaginary hardships or, to use the language of the State Prosecutor, 'so-called hardships'. Basically, My Lord, we fight against two features which are the hallmarks of African life in South Africa and which are entrenched by legislation which we seek to have repealed. These features are poverty and lack of human dignity, and we do not need communists or so-called 'agitators' to teach us about these things.<br /><br />South Africa is the richest country in Africa, and could be one of the richest countries in the world. But it is a land of extremes and remarkable contrasts. [audio interference] The whites enjoy what may well be the highest standard of living in the world, whilst Africans live in poverty and misery. Forty per cent of the Africans live in hopelessly overcrowded and, in some cases, drought-stricken reserves, where soil erosion and the overworking of the soil makes it impossible for them to live properly off the land. Thirty per cent are labourers, labour tenants, and squatters on white farms and work and live under conditions similar to those of the serfs of the Middle Ages. The other thirty per cent live in towns where they have developed economic and social habits which bring them closer in many respects to white standards. Yet most Africans, even in this group, are impoverished by low incomes and the high cost of living.<br /><br />The highest-paid and the most prosperous section of urban African life is in Johannesburg. Yet their actual position is desperate. The latest figures were given on the 25th of March 1964 by Mr. Carr, Manager of the Johannesburg Non-European Affairs Department. The poverty datum line for the average African family in Johannesburg, according to Mr. Carr's department, is R42.84 per month. He showed that the average monthly wage is R32.24 and that forty-six per cent of all African families in Johannesburg do not earn enough to keep them going.<br /><br /><br /><br />Poverty goes hand in hand with malnutrition and disease. The incidence of malnutrition and deficiency diseases is very high amongst Africans. Tuberculosis, pellagra, kwashiorkor, gastro-enteritis, and scurvy bring death and destruction of health. The incidence of infant mortality is one of the highest in the world. According to the Medical Officer of Health for Pretoria, it is estimated that tuberculosis kills forty people a day, almost all Africans, and in 1961 there were 58,491 new cases reported. These diseases, My Lord, not only destroy the vital organs of the body, but they result in retarded mental conditions and lack of initiative, and reduce powers of concentration. The secondary results of such conditions affect the whole community and the standard of work performed by Africans.<br /><br />The complaint of Africans, however, is not only that they are poor and whites are rich, but that the laws which are made by the whites are designed to preserve this situation.<br /><br />There are two ways to break out of poverty. The first is by formal education, and the second is by the worker acquiring a greater skill at his work and thus higher wages. As far as Africans are concerned, both these avenues of advancement are deliberately curtailed by legislation.<br /><br />I ask the Court to remember that the present Government has always sought to hamper Africans in their search for education. One of their early acts, after coming into power, was to stop subsidies for African school feeding. Many African children who attended schools depended on this supplement to their diet. This was a cruel act.<br /><br />There is compulsory education for all white children at virtually no cost to their parents, be they rich or poor. Similar facilities are not provided for the African children, though there are some who receive such assistance. African children, however, generally have to pay more for their schooling than whites. According to figures quoted by the South African Institute of Race Relations in its 1963 journal, approximately forty per cent of African children in the age group between seven and fourteen do not attend school. For those who do attend school, the standards are vastly different from those afforded to white children. In 1960-61 the per capita Government spending [someone coughs] on African students at State-aided schools was estimated at R12.46. In the same years, the per capita spending on white children in the Cape Province (which are the only figures available to me) was R144.57. Although there are no figures available to me, it can be stated, without doubt, that the white children on whom R144.57 per head was being spent all came from wealthier homes than African children on whom R12.46 per head was being spent.<br /><br />The quality of education is also different. According to the Bantu Educational Journal, only 5,660 African children in the whole of South Africa passed their Junior Certificate in 1962, and in that year only 362 passed matric. This is presumably consistent with the policy of Bantu Education about which the present Prime Minister said, during the debate on the Bantu Education Bill in 1953 when he was Minister of Native Affairs, I quote:<br /><br />"When I have control of Native Education I will reform it so that Natives will be taught from childhood to realise that equality with Europeans is not for them. People who believe in equality are not desirable teachers for Natives. When my Department [audio interference] controls Native education it will know for what class of higher education a Native is fitted, and whether he will have a chance in life to use his knowledge," unquote.<br /><br />The other main obstacle to the economic advancement of the African is the Industrial Colour Bar under which all the better paid, better jobs of industry are reserved for whites only. Moreover, [audio interference] Africans in the unskilled and semi-skilled occupations which are open to them are not allowed to form trade unions which have recognition under the Industrial Conciliation Act. This means that strikes of African workers are illegal, and that they are denied the right of collective bargaining which is permitted to the better-paid white workers. The discrimination in the policy of successive South African Governments towards African workers is demonstrated by the so-called 'civilized labour policy' under which sheltered, unskilled Government jobs are found for those white workers who cannot make the grade in industry, at wages far, which far exceed the earnings of the average African employee in industry.<br /><br />The Government often answers its critics by saying that Africans in South Africa are economically better off than the inhabitants of the other countries in Africa. I do not know whether this statement is true and doubt whether any comparison can be made without having regard to the cost-of-living index in such countries. But even if it is true, as far as African people are concerned, it is irrelevant. Our complaint is not that we are poor by comparison with people in other countries, but that we are poor by comparison with white people in our own country, and that we are prevented by legislation from altering this imbalance.<br /><br />The lack of human dignity experienced by Africans is the direct result of the policy of white supremacy. White supremacy implies black inferiority. Legislation designed to preserve white supremacy entrenches this notion. Menial tasks in South Africa are invariably performed by Africans. When anything has to be carried or cleaned the white man will look around for an African to do it for him, whether the African is employed by him or not. Because of this sort of attitude, whites tend to regard Africans as a separate breed. They do not look upon them as people with families of their own; they do not realise that we have emotions - that we fall in love like white people do; that we want to be with their wives and children like white people want to be with theirs; that we want to earn money, enough money to support our families properly, to feed and clothe them and send them to school. And what 'house-boy' or 'garden-boy' or labourer can ever hope to do this?<br /><br />Pass laws, which to the Africans are among the most hated bits of legislation in South Africa, render any African liable to police surveillance at any time. I doubt whether there is a single African male in South Africa who has not at some stage had a brush with the police over his pass. Hundreds and thousands of Africans are thrown into jail each year under pass laws. Even worse than this is the fact that pass laws keep husband and wife apart and lead to the breakdown of family life.<br /><br />Poverty and the breakdown of family life have secondary effects. Children wander about the streets of the townships because they have no schools to go to, or no money to enable them to go to school, or no parents at home to see that they go to school, because both parents, if there be two, have to work to keep the family alive. This leads to a breakdown in moral standards, to an alarming rise in illegitimacy, and to growing violence which erupts not only politically, but everywhere. Life in the townships is dangerous. There is not a day that goes by without somebody being stabbed or assaulted. And violence is carried out of the townships into the white living areas. People are afraid to walk alone in the streets after dark. Housebreakings and robberies are increasing, despite the fact that the death sentence can now be imposed for such offences. Death sentences cannot cure the festering sore.<br /><br />The only cure is to alter the conditions under which Africans are forced to live and to meet their legitimate grievances. Africans want to be paid a living wage. Africans want to perform work which they are capable of doing, and not work which the Government declares them to be capable of. We want to be allowed to live where we obtain work, and not be endorsed out of an area because we were not born there. We want to be allowed and not to be obliged to live in rented houses which we can never call our own. We want to be part of the general population, and not confined to living in our ghettoes. African men want to have their wives and children to live with them where they work, and not to be forced into an unnatural existence in men's hostels. Our women want to be with their men folk and not to be left permanently widowed in the reserves. We want to be allowed out after eleven o'clock at night and not to be confined to our rooms like little children. We want to be allowed to travel in our own country and to seek work where we want to, where we want to and not where the Labour Bureau tells us to. We want a just share in the whole of South Africa; we want security and a stake in society.<br /><br />Above all, My Lord, we want equal political rights, because without them our disabilities will be permanent. I know this sounds revolutionary to the whites in this country, because the majority of voters will be Africans. This makes the white man fear democracy.<br /><br />But this fear cannot be allowed to stand in the way of the only solution which will guarantee racial harmony and freedom for all. It is not true that the enfranchisement of all will result in racial domination. Political division, based on colour, is entirely artificial and, when it disappears, so will the domination of one colour group by another. The ANC has spent half a century fighting against racialism. When it triumphs as it certainly must, it will not change that policy.<br /><br />This then is what the ANC is fighting. Our struggle is a truly national one. It is a struggle of the African people, inspired by our own suffering and our own experience. It is a struggle for the right to live. [someone coughs]<br /><br />During my lifetime I have dedicated my life to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realised. But, My Lord, if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">At the beginning of June 1961, after a long and anxious assessment of the South African situation, I, and some colleagues, came to the conclusion that as violence [in this country – inaudible] was inevitable, it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the Government met our peaceful demands with force.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Under the Freedom Charter, nationalisation would take place in an economy based on private enterprise. The realisation of the Freedom Charter would open up fresh fields for a prosperous African population of all classes, including the middle class. The ANC has never at any period of its history advocated a revolutionary change in the economic structure of the country, nor has it, to the best of my recollection, <i>ever condemned capitalist society</i>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>(In his 1953 "No Easy Walk to Freedom" Presidential address speech to the ANC, Mandela said this:</i><br /><br />We are exiled from our own people for we have uncompromisingly resisted the efforts of imperialist America and her satellites to drag the world into the rule of violence and brutal force, into the rule of the napalm, hydrogen and the cobalt bombs where millions of people will be wiped out to satisfy the criminal and greedy appetites of the imperial powers. We have been gagged because we have emphatically and openly condemned the criminal attacks by the imperialists against the people of Malaya, Vietnam, Indonesia, Tunisia and Tanganyika and called upon our people to identify themselves unreservedly with the cause of world peace and to fight against the war policies of America and her satellites. We are being shadowed, hounded and trailed because we fearlessly voiced our horror and indignation at the slaughter of the people of Korea and Kenya. The massacre of the Kenya people by Britain has aroused world-wide indignation and protest. Children are being burnt alive, women are raped, tortured, whipped and boiling water poured on their breasts to force confessions from them that Jomo Kenyatta had administered the Mau Mau oath to them. Men are being castrated and shot dead. In the Kikuyu country there are some villages in which the population has been completely wiped out. We are prisoners in our own country because we dared to raise our voices against these horrible atrocities and because we expressed our solidarity with the cause of the Kenya people.)</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I told him that [certain Communist writings] seemed far too complicated for the ordinary reader in that the language was obtuse and they were full of usual <i>communistic clichés and jargon</i>. If the court will look at some of the standard works of Marxism, my point will be demonstrated. He said it was <i>impossible to simplify the language without losing the effect</i> of what the author was trying to stress.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">As I understand the State case, and in particular the evidence of “X”, Umkhonto was the inspiration of the Communist Party which sought, by playing upon imaginary grievances, to enrol the African people into an army which ostensibly was to fight for African freedom, but in reality was fighting for a communist state. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the suggestion is preposterous. Umkhonto was formed by Africans to further their struggle for freedom. Communists and others supported the movement, and we only wish that more sections of the community would join us.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> Our fight is against real and not imaginary hardships or, to use the language of the State Prosecutor, 'so-called hardships'. Basically, My Lord, we fight against two features which are the hallmarks of African life in South Africa and which are entrenched by legislation which we seek to have repealed. These features are <i>poverty and lack of human dignity, and we do not need communists or so-called 'agitators' to teach us about these things</i>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I joined the ANC in 1944, and in 1952 I became Transvaal President and Deputy National President. In my younger days I held the view that the policy of admitting communists to the ANC, and the close co-operation which existed at times on specific issues between the ANC and the Communist Party, would lead to a watering down of the concept of African Nationalism. At that stage I was a member of the African National Congress Youth League, and was one of a group which moved for the expulsion of communists from the ANC. This proposal was heavily defeated, and amongst those who voted against the proposal were some of the most conservative sections of African political opinion. They defended the policy on the ground that from its inception <i>the ANC was formed and built up, not as a political party with one school of political thought, but as a Parliament of the African people accommodating people of various political views</i> –convictions, all united by the common goal of national liberation. I was eventually won over to this point of view and I have upheld it ever since.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> It is perhaps difficult for white South Africans, with an ingrained prejudice against communism, to understand why experienced African politicians so readily accept communists as their friends. But to us the reason is obvious. Theoretical differences, amongst those fighting <i>against oppression</i>, is a luxury which cannot be afforded. What is more, for many decades communists were the only political group in South Africa who were prepared to treat Africans as human beings and as their equals; who were prepared to eat with us; talk with us, live with us, and work with us. They were the only political group which was prepared to work with the Africans for the attainment of political rights and a stake in society. Because of this, there are many Africans who today tend to equate freedom with communism. They are <i>supported in this belief by a legislature</i> which brands all exponents of democratic government and African freedom as communists and bannned many of them, who are not communists, under the Suppression of Communism Act. Although My Lord I am not a communist and I have never been a member of the Communist Party, I myself have been banned, have been named under that pernicious Act because of the role I played in the Defiance Campaign. I have also been banned and convicted under that Act.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> It is not only in internal politics that we count communists as amongst those who support our cause. In the international field, communist countries have always come to our aid. In the United Nations and other Councils of the world the communist bloc has <i>supported the Afro-Asian struggle against colonialism and often seems to be more sympathetic to our plight than some of the Western powers.</i> Although there is a universal condemnation of apartheid, the communist bloc speaks out against it with <i>a louder voice</i> than most of the western world. In these circumstances, it would take a brash young politician, such as I was in 1949, to proclaim that the Communists are our enemies.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">There are two ways to break out of poverty. The first is by formal education, and the second is by the worker acquiring a greater skill at his work and thus higher wages. As far as Africans are concerned, <i>both these avenues of advancement are deliberately curtailed by legislation</i>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> I ask the Court to remember that the present Government has always sought to hamper Africans in their search for education. One of their early acts, after coming into power, was to stop subsidies for African school feeding. Many African children who attended schools depended on this supplement to their diet. <i>This was a cruel act</i>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> There is compulsory education for all white children at virtually no cost to their parents, be they rich or poor. Similar facilities are not provided for the African children, though there are some who receive such assistance. <i>African children, however, generally have to pay more for their schooling</i> than whites....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> ....The other main obstacle to the economic advancement of the African is the Industrial Colour Bar under which all the better paid, better jobs of industry are reserved for whites only. Moreover, [audio interference] Africans in the unskilled and semi-skilled occupations which are open to them are not allowed to form trade unions which have recognition under the Industrial Conciliation Act. This means that <i>strikes of African workers are illegal</i>, and that they are denied the right of collective bargaining which is permitted to the better-paid white workers. The discrimination in the policy of successive South African Governments towards African workers is demonstrated by the so-called 'civilized labour policy' under which sheltered, unskilled Government jobs are found for those white workers who cannot make the grade in industry, at wages far, which far exceed the earnings of the average African employee in industry.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">The Government often answers its critics by saying that Africans in South Africa are economically better off than the inhabitants of the other countries in Africa. <i>I do not know whether this statement is true and doubt whether any comparison can be made without having regard to the cost-of-living index in such countries. But even if it is true, as far as African people are concerned, it is irrelevant. </i>Our complaint is not that we are poor by comparison with people in other countries, but that we are poor by comparison with white people in our own country, and that we are prevented by legislation from altering this imbalance.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Pass laws, which to the Africans are among the most hated bits of legislation in South Africa, render <i>any African liable to police surveillance at any time</i>. I doubt whether there is a single African male in South Africa who has not at some stage had a brush with the police over his pass. Hundreds and thousands of Africans are thrown into jail each year under pass laws. Even worse than this is the fact that pass laws <i>keep husband and wife apart and lead to the breakdown of family life</i>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> <i>Poverty and the breakdown of family life have secondary effects</i>. Children wander about the streets of the townships because they have no schools to go to, or no money to enable them to go to school, or no parents at home to see that they go to school, because both parents, if there be two, have to work to keep the family alive. This leads to a breakdown in moral standards, to an alarming rise in illegitimacy, and to growing violence which erupts not only politically, but everywhere. Life in the townships is dangerous. There is not a day that goes by without somebody being stabbed or assaulted. And violence is carried out of the townships into the white living areas. <i>People are afraid to walk alone in the streets after dark</i>. Housebreakings and robberies are increasing, despite the fact that the death sentence can now be imposed for such offences. Death sentences cannot cure the festering sore.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Above all, My Lord, we want equal political rights, because without them our disabilities will be permanent. I know this sounds revolutionary to the whites in this country, because the majority of voters will be Africans. This makes the white man fear democracy.<br /> But this fear cannot be allowed to stand in the way of the only solution which will guarantee racial harmony and freedom for all. It is not true that the enfranchisement of all will result in racial domination. Political division, based on colour, is entirely artificial and, when it disappears, so will the domination of one colour group by another."</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Farm attacks are 700% higher in South Africa than any other country on earth. Over 3000 (10%) Boer farmers have been <i>murdered</i> since 1994 (the end of apartheid). Total whites (reported) murdered since 1994 is 60 000 (17% of total murders in South Africa--350 000). Two white farmers or family members are <i>murdered</i> per week. Deaths are linked to political motivations, going through gangs as middle men who offer money to prospective murderers. 400 000 white South Africans have left South Africa. Only 40 000 white farmers remain in South Africa of 128 000 in 1980.</span></div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uorj0oj1n7s/UqeaEjq0hEI/AAAAAAAAAoU/GG6YnyDKd3k/s1600/20131207_asia_0+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uorj0oj1n7s/UqeaEjq0hEI/AAAAAAAAAoU/GG6YnyDKd3k/s320/20131207_asia_0+(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dec 8. South Korea has announced the extension of its air defense zone (to take effect Dec. 15). The new zone overlaps the zones claimed by Japan and China. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the East China Sea a dispute arose Nov. 23 when China announced new borders for its air defense zone, and warned that all aircraft entering this space must notify the Chinese authorities in advance, and that China's air force would be on high alert to firmly protect its airspace.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This warning was directed particularly at Japan, who has held an air zone which is overlapped by China's recent claim. This zone was decided by the victors of WWII, and is protected by America through the Japanese-American Treaty of Mutual Protection. The new Chinese zone also claims a submerged rock and research station belonging to South Korea.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Senkaku Islands were annexed by Japan in 1895, before which no country had pronounced any claim over them. America occupied them for a period after the 1945 Japanese surrender. The islands have been used for ecological surveys and US military bombing sites since the 1940's, when the last residents stopped fishing there. The islands were privately owned by Japanese entrepreneurs since 1900 and rented by the Japanese government until 2012 when the Japanese government bought the islands.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Taiwan and China have claimed the islands since 1971. China and Taiwan claim ownership from 1534 and claim that the islands, though signed over to Japan in the first Sino-Japanese war, should return to China because after WWII Japan released certain of its territories. Japan rejects both claims.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E5dZxoUmGHU/UqejFlUgzSI/AAAAAAAAApE/tSSiiGZqmqU/s1600/Ryukyu+and+Senkaku-Diaoyu+Islands+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E5dZxoUmGHU/UqejFlUgzSI/AAAAAAAAApE/tSSiiGZqmqU/s400/Ryukyu+and+Senkaku-Diaoyu+Islands+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No details specific to these islands are contained in the treaties wherein Japan gained or ceded control of her empire. What is stated in both the 1895 and the 1951 treaties is that Japan gains and then relinquishes Formosa and "all islands appertaining to or belong to Formosa." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">America administered the area from WWII to 1972, when it returned ownership to Japan. The US does not have an official position on the competing claims. However, the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the US and Japan binds America to protect these islands (confirmed by US government officials 2004, 2010, and 2012, when the US senate amended the National Defense act for 2013 to specifically cover the Senkakus as protected Japanese territory). The US government has also mentioned the Senkakus specifically since the discovery of nearby oil reserves in 1969 and since the Taiwanese and Chinese contentions in 1971. Before that time, the Senkakus were not mentioned; only the Ryukyu island chain was mentioned as Japanese territory.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Recent years have seen protests and clashes between Chinese and Japanese boats and in some cases air craft. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nov. 23 after announcing their claim, China sent an air force mission to patrol the area. Japanese commercial flights were ordered to disregard the Chinese warnings. Nov. 26 America, who declared the airspace international, flew two unarmed B-52s through it. The US military stated that they would continue to do so and without identifying themselves. South Korea and Japan have also sent military aircraft to the area. Commercial airlines have been using the area uninterruptedly since China's warnings. America, Japan, and South Korea have protested China's statement claiming new airspace.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">South Korea possesses the submerged rock called Ieodo, upon which rests a South Korean research station. The rock is also claimed by China. The South Korean air defense zone was established by the US during the Korean War. The US, Japan and China have agreed that the expansion of the South Korean air zone is in line with international law.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many commentators note the importance of the islands as oil and gas reserves. In 2009 the US sanctioned Iranian oil and gas. Japan had been importing oil from Iran until then (so had China, which bypassed US sanctions). Some commentators point to the economic gains that come from military expansion as a motivation for increasing tensions in the area.</span><br />

Khrushchev wanted the Nobel Peace Prize to be shared by himself and Eisenhower. The Nobel Committee did not want to award the Prize to a statesman still in office, for the power it might give him and the repercussions it might reap if that statesman were to begin a war.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1960, the Committee decided none of its nominees met the criteria outlined in Nobel's will. It awarded two prizes in 1961, the one left over from 1960 was awarded to South African politician and teacher Albert Lutuli (the 1961 Prize went to UN Secretary Gereral Hammarskjöld).</span>The Speakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479914695740351393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177518739364128793.post-13286707083731075482013-12-08T20:54:00.005-08:002013-12-08T21:11:10.602-08:00Books<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xi7xWHZIifM/UqVM_mhdmJI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/aTTDzl2BXNQ/s1600/ScreenHunter_159+Dec.+08+20.53.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xi7xWHZIifM/UqVM_mhdmJI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/aTTDzl2BXNQ/s640/ScreenHunter_159+Dec.+08+20.53.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1nWLCTZ8tn0/UqVM_oyyCOI/AAAAAAAAAmM/mEUG569nEI0/s1600/ScreenHunter_160+Dec.+08+20.53.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1nWLCTZ8tn0/UqVM_oyyCOI/AAAAAAAAAmM/mEUG569nEI0/s640/ScreenHunter_160+Dec.+08+20.53.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-76RchqnvHNo/UqVOW5TUzrI/AAAAAAAAAmc/DmCn5o6veZ0/s1600/cvr9780684870274_9780684870274_lg.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-76RchqnvHNo/UqVOW5TUzrI/AAAAAAAAAmc/DmCn5o6veZ0/s400/cvr9780684870274_9780684870274_lg.jpg" /></a><br /><br /> <br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ybJm6QbJBc/UqVOZUVglEI/AAAAAAAAAmk/bXcWdtOFavU/s1600/ScreenHunter_161+Dec.+08+20.59.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ybJm6QbJBc/UqVOZUVglEI/AAAAAAAAAmk/bXcWdtOFavU/s640/ScreenHunter_161+Dec.+08+20.59.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Preface<br /><br />Having sought to avoid this outcome, the United States found itself at war.<br /><br />The place was an impoverished peninsula near a major industrial region, to which the United States was committed by a long-standing military alliance. The enemy was a communist dictator who skillfully manipulated the nationalism of his people in an attempt to unite all members of his ethnic group into a single enlarged state under communist-nationalist rule. The dictator's regime, ignoring an ultimatum by the United States and its allies, persisted in sponsoring a low-intensity war against the inhabitants of a neighboring territory that the communist-nationalists sought to bring under their control.<br /><br />The terrain, wooded and mountainous, favored the communist-nationalists. Throughout history, the region had been invaded many times, by external powers that had often come to grief. The president of the United States and his advisers, stunned by the number of troops that Pentagon estimates called for, repeatedly shelved plans for sending in ground forces.<br /><br />Nevertheless, the administration believed that something had to be done. If the United States allowed itself to be humiliated by the communist-nationalist regime, then its military credibility would be seriously undermined. The regional alliance that the United States led might dissolve as the area's countries lost faith in American protection. Across the world, both enemies and allies might interpret American retreat as a sign of military incapacity or lack of political resolve. The reputation of the United States for power and determination, the basis of its rank in the regional and global hierarchy, was at stake.<br /><br />Reluctantly the president ordered the bombing of the communist-nationalist dictator's homeland, hoping that air power alone would compel the dictator to abandon his campaign of aggression. Although a majority of Americans initially supported the bombing, the president's critics accused him of waging war in violation of the Constitution. A number of leading radical leftist intellectuals and journalists denounced the bombing as an act of immoral American imperialism. "Realists" in the press and academy, dismissing the importance of U.S. military credibility as a factor in world politics, claimed that no vital American interest was at stake in this poor and peripheral region of the world. Some conservatives denounced the limitations on the military effort as proof of the folly of trying to wage a "liberal war."<br /><br />When bombing initially failed to change the enemy's policy, the pressures on the president to commit ground troops increased. The president, a politician more interested in the mechanics of domestic reform than in foreign policy, pondered his options. To back off at this point would result in devastating humiliation for the United States, with consequences around the world that could not be foreseen but which might well be severe. To escalate the war by introducing ground troops would be to risk a bloody debacle and a political backlash. Every choice presented the possibility of disaster.<br /><br /><br />This is a description of the situation that confronted President Bill Clinton in the spring of 1999, after the United States and its NATO allies began bombing Serbia with the goal of forcing Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milosevic to agree to autonomy for the Albanian ethnic majority in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo. It is also a description of the dilemma of President Lyndon Johnson in the spring and summer of 1965, when the failure of U.S. bombing raids against North Vietnam to dissuade Ho Chi Minh's communist dictatorship from its low-level war against South Vietnam had become apparent. In each case, what was at stake for the United States was its credibility as the dominant global military power and the survival of a regional alliance -- NATO in the case of the Balkan war, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in the case of the conflict in Indochina. (In fact, SEATO did dissolve, when the United States abandoned Indochina to communist conquest between 1973 and 1975.)<br /><br />Both Slobodan Milosevic and Ho Chi Minh were communist dictators who manipulated the nationalism of their subjects -- Milosevic in the service of his dream of a Greater Serbia dominating the former Yugoslav federation, Ho in the service of the dream of a united Vietnam dominating all of Indochina. Both Milosevic and Ho promoted their goals by supporting guerrilla terror campaigns in other countries. Milosevic armed, supplied, and directed Serb paramilitary units engaged in mass murder and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Kosovo, and other parts of the former Yugoslavia; Ho armed, supplied, and directed Viet Cong guerrillas in South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia who waged war against South Vietnamese military and police forces and murdered tens of thousands of South Vietnamese officials and civilians. In both cases, the low-intensity wars launched by the communist-nationalist dictators produced tidal waves of refugees. Hundreds of thousands of non-Serbs were forced from their homes in different parts of the former Yugoslavia by Serbian ethnic cleansing. Nearly a million residents of North Vietnam fled Ho Chi Minh's rule in the 1950s, and following the communist conquest of South Vietnam in the 1970s more than two million others risked their lives in fleeing the country. Of the two communist-nationalist leaders, Milosevic was the less tyrannical; his Serbian regime was far less repressive than the government of Ho Chi Minh. The latter was a strict Stalinist dictatorship that tolerated no political or intellectual dissent and executed more than ten thousand North Vietnamese villagers in cold blood in a few months because they were landlords or prosperous peasants and thus "class enemies," according to Marxist -Leninist dogma.<br /><br />Despite these similarities, the U.S. wars in the Balkan and Indochinese peninsulas differed in one fundamental respect. The Yugoslav War was not a proxy war among great powers. Although Russia protested the NATO war against the Serbs and supplied some limited assistance to the Milosevic regime, postcommunist Russia, truncated, impoverished, and weak in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse, did not commit itself to defeating American policy in the Balkans. The situation was radically different in the 1960s. The Vietnam War was a proxy war between the United States, the Soviet Union -- then growing rapidly in military power, confidence, and prestige -- and communist China. Despite their rivalry for leadership of the communist bloc of nations, the Soviets and the Chinese collaborated to support North Vietnam's effort to destroy South Vietnam, to promote communist revolutions in Indochina and, if possible, Thailand, and to humiliate the United States. In the 1990s, Serbia was a third-rate military power lacking great-power patrons. In the 1960s, North Vietnam was protected from an American invasion, and equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and air defenses, by the Soviet Union and China, the latter of which sent hundreds of thousands of troops to support Ho Chi Minh's war effort between 1965 and 1968. By the late 1970s, the Vietnamese communists, after annexing South Vietnam, occupying Cambodia, and breaking with and defeating China in a border war, possessed the third largest army in the world and ruled the most important satellite region of the Soviet empire outside Eastern Europe. At the time of the Vietnam War, the United States was engaged in a desperate worldwide struggle with two of the three m ost powerful and murderous totalitarian states in history; in 1999, the United States faced no significant challenge to its global primacy by another great power or coalition.<br /><br />The American wars in defense of Kosovo and South Vietnam, then, differed chiefly in this respect: More -- far more -- was at stake in Vietnam.<br /><br /><br />As a result of the U.S. intervention in the Balkans, the assumption that America's intervention in Vietnam was an aberration, an assumption shared by many critics across the political spectrum, is no longer plausible. Twice in thirty-five years, American armed forces have engaged in massive military intervention in a civil war in a peripheral region in order to demonstrate the credibility of the United States as a military power and an alliance leader. When the Korean War is taken into account, the Vietnam War looks less like an exception and more like one member of a series of similar American limited wars (as of 1999, the Gulf War looks like the exception to the norm established by the Korean, Vietnam, and Yugoslav wars). Whether or not the American intervention in Kosovo ultimately achieves its goals, one thing is certain -- the debate about the Vietnam War in the United States will never again be the same.<br /><br />After the Vietnam War ended in 1975, it took on a second life as a symbol in American politics. For the radical left, the war was a symbol of the depravity of the United States and the evils of "capitalist imperialism." For the neoisolationists and "realists" of the liberal left, the U.S. war in Indochina was a tragic and unnecessary mistake, brought about by American arrogance and an exaggerated fear of the threat posed to U.S. interests by the Soviet Union and communist China. Conservatives, too, had their orthodox view of the conflict. Conservatives joined many military officers in arguing that the United States could have achieved a quick and decisive victory in Indochina, if only the pusillanimous civilian policymakers of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations had not "tied the hands" of the U.S. military and "denied it permission to win."<br /><br />One point of view has been missing from the debate over the Vietnam War. The political faction known as liberal anticommunists or Cold War liberals, identified with the Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations, ceased to exist as a force in American politics in the 1970s, more as a result of partisan realignment than of the Vietnam War. One group of former Cold War liberal policymakers and thinkers sought to ingratiate themselves with the antiwar leftists and liberals who were ascendant in the Democratic party after 1968. Among these were the late McGeorge Bundy and his brother William (who, as part of his campaign to rehabilitate himself, recently wrote a harsh and unfair book criticizing Nixon's and Kissinger's handling of the war that the Bundys had helped to begin). Former defense secretary Robert McNamara not only recanted his support for the war in his book In Retrospect but endured the abuse of functionaries of the Vietnamese dictatorship during a humiliating pilgrimage to Vietnam in 1997. Another group of former Cold War liberals joined forces with anti-Soviet conservatives, maintaining their support for the Cold War while jettisoning their prolabor liberalism in domestic politics. The number of unreconstructed Cold War liberals thus dwindled in the 1970s and 1980s, making it easy for radical leftists, left-liberals, and conservatives, in their discussions of the Vietnam War and U.S. foreign policy in the 1960s, to caricature and vilify Presidents Kennedy and Johnson and their advisers with no fear of rebuttal.<br /><br />Almost everything written by Americans about the Vietnam War in the past quarter century has conformed to one of the three scripts of radical leftism, anti-Cold War liberalism, or conservatism. Each of these three partisan schools has drawn attention to evidence that appeared to support its preconceptions, while ignoring evidence that contradicted them. These ritualized debates might have continued for another generation or two. But two historic developments have now made it possible to transcend the thirty-year-old debates about the Vietnam War.<br /><br />The first development is the end of the Cold War and its aftermath, including the global collapse of communism and the realignment of world politics around the United States as the hegemonic military power. Only now is it possible to view the Cold War as a whole and to evaluate the U.S. strategy of global containment that led to the U.S. wars in defense of South Korea and South Vietnam, as well as the U.S. protectorate over Taiwan -- "the three fronts," according to Mao Zedong, where the communist bloc met the American bloc in East Asia.<br /><br />The second development is the demise of the radical left in North America and Western Europe as a political force (leftism survives only in pockets in the academy and the press). In the 1960s and 1970s, the ascendancy of the radical left in the liberal and social democratic parties of the West -- the Democrats in the United States, the British Labor Party, and the German Social Democrats -- caused western electorates to turn to conservative, anticommunist parties under the leadership of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Helmut Kohl. The economic difficulties of Swedish social democracy, coming soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, have discredited western as well as eastern Marxism and permitted the emergence of a new, more moderate center-left, variously described as "the Third Way" or "the New Center" and symbolized by President Bill Clinton and British prime minister Tony Blair. As recently as the Gulf War, which the overwhelming majority of Democrats in Congress voted against, foreign policy debates in the United States pitted anti-American leftists and isolationist liberals against interventionist conservatives. But the subsequent U.S.-led NATO war in the Balkans, supported by many liberals and opposed by a number of conservatives, has helped to rehabilitate the legitimacy of military intervention for many left-of-center Americans.<br /><br />These developments in global politics and western politics have made it possible to write this book, which could not have been written in the 1970s or 1980s. In this book, I examine the Vietnam War in light of the end of the Cold War, from a centrist perspective more sympathetic to American Cold War policymakers than that of their critics on the left and the right.<br /><br /><br />The United States fought the war in Vietnam because of geopolitics, and forfeited the war because of domestic politics. This being the case, I make two major arguments in this book, one about the geopolitics, and one about the American domestic politics, of the Cold War. The argument about geopolitics is that in the circumstances of the Cold War, and particularly in the circumstances of the 1960s, the United States was justified in waging a limited war to defend South Vietnam and its neighbors against the communist bloc. The argument about U.S. domestic politics is that the Vietnam War was not uniquely divisive. Rather, this particular Cold War proxy conflict exposed preexisting regional, ethnic, and racial divisions in American attitudes about foreign policy -- divisions familiar from previous American wars in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.<br /><br />The two subjects of geopolitics and domestic politics are connected by the issue of the costs, in treasure and blood, of American Cold War policy. In both the Korean and Vietnam wars, the balance of power between interventionists and isolationists in the U.S. Congress and the public at large was held by a "swing vote" sensitive to casualties. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States could not afford to do too little in Indochina, for fear of a disastrous setback in the Cold War -- a struggle that was as much a test of nerve as a test of strength. At the same time, the United States could not afford to do too much in Indochina, for fear of undermining American public support, first for the defense of the Indochina front, and then for U.S. Cold War strategy in general. The choice between global credibility and domestic consensus was forced on American leaders in the late 1960s and early 1970s by the costs of the war in Vietnam -- chiefly, the costs in American lives, though the costs in Indochinese lives and the costs to America's global military infrastructure and its financial hegemony were also important factors.<br /><br />This, then, is the story I have to tell about the Vietnam War. It was necessary for the United States to escalate the war in the mid-1960s in order to defend the credibility of the United States as a superpower, but it was necessary for the United States to forfeit the war after 1968, in order to preserve the American domestic political consensus in favor of the Cold War on other fronts. Indochina was worth a war, but only a limited war -- and not the limited war that the United States actually fought.<br /><br />The argument set forth here differs fundamentally from a new and misguided consensus on the subject of the Vietnam War that has become influential in recent years. That argument holds that it was a mistake to intervene in Indochina at all, but that once the United States had intervened, it should have used unlimited force to quickly win an unqualified victory. The political appeal of this emerging consensus is obvious. While it offers nothing to the radical left, it makes concessions to "realist" left-liberals (who are acknowledged to have been right about U.S. strategy) and to promilitary conservatives (who are acknowledged to have been right about U.S. tactics). As a rhetorical formula that can "heal the wounds of Vietnam," this emergent synthesis has much to recommend it. Unfortunately, as an assessment of the Vietnam War it is wrong, and to the extent that it influences U.S. foreign policy it is dangerous.<br /><br /><br />In addition to examining the Vietnam War from a post-Cold War perspective, one of the purposes of this book is to set the historical record straight. I address the major myths about Vietnam disseminated by the radical and liberal left at the time of the war and repeated for three decades afterward. When one examines the historical record, one finds that:<br />Ho Chi Minh was not a Vietnamese patriot whose Marxism was a superficial veneer; like North Korea's Kim Il Sung and Cambodia's Pol Pot, Ho was both a nationalist and a doctrinaire Marxist-Leninist whose brutal and bankrupt tyranny was modeled on Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China.<br />Ho was not the only legitimate nationalist leader in Vietnam; he and his subordinates found it necessary to execute, assassinate, imprison, and exile noncommunist nationalist leaders and dissidents in both North and South Vietnam.<br />Ho was not a Southeast Asian Tito who might have created a neutral united Vietnam equidistant from Moscow, Beijing, and the United States in the 1940s or 1950s; there were pro-Soviet and pro-Chinese factions among the Vietnamese, but no prowestern faction. The United States did not miss an opportunity to befriend Ho in 1945 or 1950 or 1954 or 1956.<br />South Vietnam did not violate international law by refusing to participate in national elections in 1956.<br />The murder of South Vietnam's President Diem in the American-approved coup d'état in 1963 did not abort a potential reconciliation of North and South Vietnam.<br />The South Vietnamese insurgency was not a spontaneous rebellion against misgovernment; although many noncommunist South Vietnamese took part, the guerrilla war was controlled by Hanoi from the beginning to the end.<br />The Vietnamese communists were never serious about a coalition government for either South Vietnam or the country as a whole, except as a transition to communist rule; talk of a coalition government was a propaganda ploy intended to fool western liberals and leftists. (It did.)<br />The South Vietnamese regime did not fall in 1975 because it was uniquely corrupt and illegitimate. It fell to Soviet-equipped North Vietnamese tanks only because the United States, which had left troops in South Korea to defend a comparably corrupt and authoritarian dictatorship, had abandoned its allies in South Vietnam.<br /><br />To a remarkable extent, anti-Vietnam War activists recycled both Marxist and isolationist propaganda from previous American antiwar movements. For example, much of the anti-Diem and pro-Ho Chi Minh propaganda echoed the left's vilification of China's Chiang Kai-shek and South Korea's Syngman Rhee and its idealization of Mao Zedong; only the names of individuals and countries were changed. Various "missed opportunity" myths about U.S.-Vietnam relations were first spread in the context of relations between the United States and communist China in the 1940s. The influence of the generations-old isolationist tradition in the United States is clear in the arguments that Johnson and Nixon were treacherous tyrants whose foreign wars endangered the U.S. Constitution -- arguments almost identical to those made against previous wartime presidents, including Polk, Wilson, Roosevelt, and Truman. The ease with which Francis Ford Coppola could turn Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, a parable about European imperialism in Africa, into the movie Apocalypse Now illustrates the extent to which much anti-Vietnam War literature and art has been generic antiwar propaganda that could be illustrated by imagery from any war in any country in any period.<br /><br />In the section of this book dealing with domestic politics, I demonstrate the extraordinary continuities between the anti-Vietnam-War movement and other antiwar movements -- both earlier ones, like the movements opposing U.S. intervention in World Wars I and II, and subsequent ones, like the nuclear freeze campaign and the opposition to the Gulf War. Most remarkable of all is the continuity in regional attitudes toward U.S. foreign policy. The Democratic party's abandonment of the Cold War liberalism of Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson for the neoisolationism symbolized by George McGovern and Frank Church can be explained almost entirely in terms of the shift in the party's regional base from the promilitary, interventionist South to Greater New England, the region of the United States associated throughout American history with suspicion of the military and hostility to American wars.<br /><br /><br />Let there be no doubt: There will be "Vietnams" in America's future, defined either as wars in which the goal of the United States is to prove its military credibility to enemies and allies, rather than to defend U.S. territory, or as wars in which the enemy refuses to use tactics that permit the U.S. military to benefit from its advantage in high-tech conventional warfare. The war in Kosovo fits both of these definitions. Preparing for the credibility wars and the unconventional wars of the twenty-first century will require both leaders and publics in the United States and allied countries to understand what the United States did wrong in Vietnam -- and, no less important, to acknowledge what the United States did right.<br /><br />Copyright © 1999 by Michael Lind<br /></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Swiss businessman, social activist and thinker, and writer who received the first Nobel Peace Prize 1901 jointly with pacifist Frederic Passy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The son of a Calvinist businessman and social worker (orphans, parolees, sick, poor), Henry Dunant spent much of his life working with prisoners and the poor. At age 21 he left college due to poor grades and began work in banking. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1958 His first book was written about his 1953 trip to the colonies of Algeria, Tunisia, and Sicily on assignment for his banking company. His second book was a book of flattery and praise to Napoleon III as part of an appeal to that emperor for land and water rights in the land concession his company (initiated with funds of 100 000 000 Swiss francs raised from family and friends) had gained in Algeria. He traveled to Solferino to present the book to Napoleon III. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1962 Dunant arrived in Solferino the day of a battle that left 23 000 wounded. Dunant organized the people, especially the women, to provide care to all who needed care regardless of nationality. Dunant organized the purchase of supplies and the erection of facilities and gained the release of Austrian doctors held by the French. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TOS-CCPPz2M/UpJ1J_7wpXI/AAAAAAAAASI/CA0IQECAzHY/s1600/Souvenir_de_Solferino_henri_Dunant_1862.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TOS-CCPPz2M/UpJ1J_7wpXI/AAAAAAAAASI/CA0IQECAzHY/s640/Souvenir_de_Solferino_henri_Dunant_1862.jpg" width="406" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1962 The next month, back in Geneva, Dunant wrote of Solferino, describing the realities and effects of the fighting and suggested that there should be a neutral organization to provide care to all wounded. He paid for the printing of 1600 copies of his book and distributed it to political and military figures. He traveled Europe promoting his ideas. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At the 1963 meeting of the Geneva Society for Public Welfare the President of that society, jurist Gustave Moynier, made the book and its suggestions the topic of the meeting. A 5-man Committee was created to pursue this issue, making Dunant one of the members. Their first meeting is considered the founding of the ICRC. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the following years, Dunant's career was thwarted by his conflict with Moynier. And 1968 Dunant became bankrupt, condemned and scandalized following the collapse of his company and for his deceptive practices in the bankruptcies. Geneva called for his resignation from the ICRC, which resignation took place that year. Dunant moved from his home to Paris where he pursued humanitarian ideas and plans, including plans for an international court to mediate international conflicts and for the creation of a world library. During this time he became increasingly in debt and shunned. He moved to London and began to receive some financial support from distant family members. 1887 he moved to Heiden, entering a hospital and nursing home in 1892.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1895 an editor of a St Gall newspaper, Georg Baumberger, wrote an article, "Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross," which appeared in a German Illustrated Magazine. The article was soon reprinted in other publications throughout Europe, after which attention and support came to Dunant, including humanitarian prizes and letters (including a note from Pope Leo XIII and support from Russian tsarist </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">widow Maria Feodorovna). 1897 a book was written by school-teacher Rudolf Muller about the origins of the Red Cross, <i>Entstehungsgeschichte des Roten Kreuzes und der Genfer Konvention</i>, altering the official histor</span><span style="font-size: large;">y to stress Dunant's role, which had been downplayed, including the text of A Memory of Solferino. Dunant became more active in correspondence and article writing, especially on women's rights. He was involved in the 1897 founding of a "Green Cross" women's organization. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1901. A Norwegian military physician who had received a copy of Muller's book advocated Dunant's case to the Nobel committee, which case was controversial--Moynier and the whole ICRC had been nominated for the prize. The award was given jointly to Dunant and to Frederic Passy, the founder of the Peace League and activist (with Dunant) in the Alliance for Order and Civilization, an award which finally rehabilitated Dunant's reputation. The Nobel prize money was placed in a Norwegian Bank to prevent access by Dunant's creditors. Dunant never spent any during his lifetime. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dunant received several other awards, including an honorary doctorate. In his final years, he lived in the nursing home in Heiden, and suffered from depression and paranoia. He was buried without ceremony in Zurich, according to his wishes.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1896 onward a movement of various forming and splitting and reforming German youth groups were known as "Wandering Birds". They were also often the same people who called themselves "life-reformers." It quickly became the preeminent German youth movement. These youths broke away from the strict requirements of their educational and social environment and were opposed to contemporary trends toward rapid, progressive urbanization. The also were reacting against the organized youth groups and clubs that featured German folk music which were being pushed on them. They broke off to develop their own way of life. Their </span>aesthetic<span style="font-family: inherit;"> featured back-to-nature, freedom, self-responsibility, adventurousness, and anti-</span>bourgeoisie<span style="font-family: inherit;">. They wore long hair and beards, danced and made music, went nude, wore hiking boots, sandals, and went barefoot, practiced vegetarianism, natural medicine and healing. They also practiced abstinence, were interested in Teutonic nationalism, and organized outdoor activities like hiking. They were mostly middle class young people, and organized into "bands" around compelling leaders. </span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Richard Miller described them in 1977: “They pooled their money, spoke hobo slang, peasant patois and medieval vulgate. They were loud and rude, sometimes ragged and dirty and torn by briars. They carried packs, wore woolen capes, shorts, dark shirts, Tyrolean hats with heavy boots and bright neck scarves. Part hobo and part medieval they were very offensive to their elders.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">One of the origins of these groups and their activities was athletic hiking expeditions that were a part of school culture. The first of what would become Wandervogels came together, met and bonded arranging such hikes. Experienced hikers took on the role of "chiefs" and "sub-chiefs."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Some groups of Wandervogels eventually formed communes, cooperatives, and other settlements, practicing soil reform, organic gardening, communitarianism, and experimented economically. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> One such location was "Monte Verita", which drew visitors like Hesse, Jung, Isadora Duncan, Lawrence, Klee, and Kafka, among many other artists, anarchists, and celebrities.</span></div>
<div>

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Monte Verita was originally a hill in Asconda which was purchased in 1900 by Henry Oedenkoven, the son of a businessman, and his wife, where they established the "Co-operative vegetarian community of Monte Verita" on principles of primitive socialism. These values were discarded in favor of individualistic vegetarianism. The community was against private property, party politics, traditional marriage and dress, and practiced morality, nudism, and sunbathing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">After several years, some of the aspects of Wandervogel became less radical, more conventional organizations that were a part of mainstream culture and society, quite different from the intentions of their Wondervogel creators. Monte Verita later became a School of Art and then a hotel and eventually a museum.</span></div>

May 15 Rosset sued the NYC postmaster, citing Justice Brennan's finding 2 years earlier that the First Amendment guaranteed protection to works including those that had any redeeming social importance. July 21 Justice Bryan ruled in Rosset's favor. Appeals Court's panel of 3 judges unanimously upheld Bryan's decision and the issue wasn't appealed to the Supreme Court. The post office was ordered to lift all bans on the importation of the book, and <i>Chatterley </i>reached #2 on the NY Times bestsellers and sold 2 000 000 copies within a year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1961 Rosset published <i>Tropic of Cancer</i> (1934). The book sold 1 000 000 copies the first year. 60 individual booksellers in 21 states were charged with Obscenity for selling it. Rosset attempted to assist (legally, financially) every bookseller prosecuted, regardless of whether or not he was obligated legally. Court opinions varied. In 1964 all findings that <i>Cancer</i> was obscene were overruled in Supreme Court <i>Grove Press, Inc. v. Gerstein</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1962 Grove published <i>Naked Lunch </i>(1958<i>)</i>, which had been published expurgated in 1959 by Olympia Press in Paris. The book was banned in Boston for Obscenity. Grove added to the book material regarding the censorship battle and material written by Burroughs about drug addiction. In 1966 the decision deeming <i>Naked Lunch</i> obscene was reversed by the Massachusetts Supreme Court. This trial included testimonial support from Ginsberg and Mailer. It was the last major literary censorship battle in the US.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1957 Rosset founded a quarterly magazine called the <i>Evergreen Review</i>. Issue #1 featured a Sartre essay, an interview with New Orleans jazz drummer Baby Dodds and a Beckett story. Issue #2 proclaimed the "San Francisco Scene" and featured writing by the beats, bringing them to a larger audience. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">1964 April-May edition was the beginning of regular nude pictorials, and was seized for Obscenity in Hicksville, NY.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1964 Grove published <i>Waiting for Godot</i>, which had been refused by more mainstream publishers. With its success, Grove became the publisher of the theater of the absurd in America, publishing its formost playwrights, whose world-renown established Grove as a serious legitimate literary press.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the later 1960's Rosset began investing in films, including importing the controversial (for explicit sex) film<i> I am Curious (Yellow)</i>, which earned $14 000 000. Grove went to trial for Obscenity over the film, which was banned in Mass., and won in rulings in 1969 and 1971. Rosset had been involved in film since the 40's. By the late 60's he had a lot of money from publishings of erotic literature. For a short time he owned a theater near Grove's offices. From the profits of <i>Curious</i>, Rosset doubled the size of his film division, which in the absence of other commercial hits nearly bankrupt Grove.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1970 second-wave feminists attacked the sexist and somewhat misogynist Grove . This coincided with Groves being taken public, which drove Grove's 150 insecure workers to push for unionization. Rosset fired many of the striking workers. Feminists occupied Grove's office, for which he had the police drag them out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1985 Rosset sold Grove to Ann and Gordon Getty. He remained president, but was fired a year later. He regretted selling Grove.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1988 Rosset and his wife Astrid revived Evergreen online. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Barry Rosset is dead. He died in hospital in Manhattan, New York on a Tuesday night at the end of May while undergoing a double-heart valve replacement procedure at age 89.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The majority of Grove's readers were in college or high-school, during an era when those populations were growing. Grove's main association was with censored sexual taboos. Grove was born amidst the sexual politics of the 50's, at a time when books were very important and when distribution of printed matter required uncommon sums of money, distribution networks and self-defense. People identified themselves by what they read. Grove entered the publishing industry during a revolution of book-printing when books were made affordable and readership was expanded through paperbacks. It was involved in the movements which would become the revolutionary currents of the 60's. Lauren Glass wrote, "Grove Press established and expanded the circuits through which experimental and radical literature was distributed, particularly to the burgeoning college and university populations that were the seedbed of the counter culture, thereby effectively democratizing the avant-garde. By the end of the sixties, the avant-garde had in essence become a component of the mainstream..."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>“We thought a magazine, even a self proclaimed literary review, had to be involved in politics. We felt sex was healthy and made (then) bold use of fiction and graphics so declaring. We operated on a shoestring and still got our issues out on time. In short, we had a ball.”</i> - Barney Rosset</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The authors Grove published later became college curriculum standards. After<i> Godot, O</i>, and <i>Malcolm X</i>, Grove could have rested on its royalties, but Rosset did otherwise. </span>Throughout<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the legal trials, Rosset paid for the </span>defense<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of small booksellers, the cost of which nearly put Grove out of business several times.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rosset later said that he was uninterested in <i>Chatterley</i> as a book, but that he thought Lawrence was more "literary" in public opinion than other writers deemed obscene, and that Lawrence's book would be easier to present as "literature" to the courts. Rosset valued this as a means of getting to publish <i>Tropic of Cancer</i>, which he loved.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"Publishing, that grand, battered, and essential institution..." </i>- Barney Rosset</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>[December 17, 1950]<br />29 Russel St.<br />San Francisco, Calif.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>To have seen a specter isn’t everything, and there are deathmasks piled, one atop the other, clear to heaven. Commoner still are the wan visages of those returning from the shadow of the valley. This means little to those who have not lifted the veil.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>The ward nurse cautioned me not to excite her (how can one prevent that?) and I was allowed only a few minutes. The head nurse also stopped me to say I was permitted to see her just because she always called my name and I must cheer her. She had had a very near brush and was not rallying properly, actually was in marked decline, and still much in danger. Quite impressed to my duties, I entered and gazed down on her slender form resting so quietly on the high white bed. Her pale face was whiter; like chalk. It was pathetically clear how utterly weak she was, there seemed absolutely no blood left in her body. I stared and stared, she didn’t breath, didn’t move; I would never have recognized her, she was a waxed mummy. White is the absence of color, she was white; all white, unless beneath the covers, whose top caressed her breasts, was still hidden a speck of pink. The thin ivory arms tapered inward until they reached the slight outward bulge of narrow palms, and the hands in turn bent inward with a more sharp taper only to quickly end in long fingers curled to a point. These things, and her head, with it’s completely matted hair so black and contrasting with all the whiteness, were the only parts of her visible. Quite normal, I know, but I just couldn’t get over how awfully dead she looked. I had so arranged my head above hers that when her eyes opened, after about ten minutes, they were in direct line with mine; they showed no surprise, nor changed their position in the slightest. The faintest of smiles, the merest of voices, “hello.” I placed my hand on her arm, it was all I could do to restrain myself from jumping on the bed to hold her. I saw she was too weak to talk and told her not to, I, however, rambled on at a great rate.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>There was no doubt she was over-joyed to see me, her eyes said so. It was as though the gesture of self-destruction had, in her mind, equalized all the guilt. The courage of committing the act seemed to have justified her to herself. This action on her conviction, no matter how neurotic, had called for all her strength and she was now released. Free from the urge, since the will-for-death needs a strong concentration of pressure to fulfill itself and once accomplished via attempt, is defeated until another period of buildup is gone through; unless, of course, one succeeds in reaching death the first shot, or is really mad. Gazing down on her, with a grin of artificial buoyancy, I sensed this and felt an instant flood of envy. She had escaped, at least for some time, and I knew I had yet to make my move. Being a coward I had postponed too long and I realized I was further away from commitment than ever. Would hesitancy never end? She shifted her cramped hand, I looked down and for the first time noticed the tight sheet covering a flat belly. It was empty, sunken; she had lost her baby. For a moment I wondered if she knew it, then thought she must know-even now she was almost touching her stomach, and she’d been in the hospital for ten days-surely a stupid idea. I resolved to think better. The nurse glided up and said I’d better go; promising to return the next visiting day, I leaned over and kissed Joan’s clear forehead and left.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Off to the poolhall, back to the old grind; I seemed to have a mania. From the way I loafed there all day one would scarcely believe I’d never been in a poolhall two short years before; why, less than six months ago I still couldn’t bear to play more than one game at a time. Well, what is one to say about things he has done? I never again went back to the hospital to bless Joan, oh, that’s what I felt like; blessing her. Each day I lacerated myself thinking on her, but I didn’t go back. “Sometimes I sits and thinks. Other times I sits and drinks, but mostly I just sits.” I must have been in a pretty bad way.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Anyhow, two more weeks went by in this fashion, my inability to stir from my poolhall prison became a joke, even to me. It was the night before Christmas, about five PM, when a handsome woman near forty came inside the gambling gaol’s gates and asked for me. I went up front to meet her, as I came closer I saw that she was better than handsome, a real good-looker and despite her age, making quite a stir among the boys. She introduced herself, said she was a friend of Joan and invited me to dinner. My heart bounced with guilty joy, I accepted and we walked the five blocks to this fine-though-forty lady’s apartment without talking. The fatherly taxidriver opened the door, my hostess said it was her husband and that Joan would be out in a minute. Preparations for a huge dinner were in the making. I sat on the sofa and waited. The bathroom-ugly word- door swung out and before my eyes was once again the gorgeous Joan, “second” of Jennifer Jones. Fresh from the shower, mirror-primped, stepped my heroine resplendent in her new friend’s housecoat. Just when you think you’ve learned you lesson and swear to watch your step, a single moment offguard will pop up and hope springs high as ever. One startled look and I knew I was right back where I started; I felt again that choking surge flooding me as when first I’d seen her. I started talking to myself, determined to whip the poolhall rut and drag my stinking ass out of the hole.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Over the prosperous supper on which we soon pounced hung an air of excitement. Joan and I were leaping with lovelooks across the roastbeef, while cabby and wife beamed on us. And we planned, yesir, all four of us, and right out loud too. I was kinda embarrassed at first when the host began without preamble, “Alright, you kids have wasted enough time, I see you love each other and you’re going to settle down right now. In the morning Joan is starting at St. Luke’s as a student nurse, she’s told me that’s what she would like to do. As for you, Neal, if you’re serious I’ll get up a little early tomorrow and before I go to work we’ll see if my boss will give you a job. If you can’t get away with telling them you’re 21- the law says you gotta be 21, you’re not that old yet are you? (I said no) so that you can drive a taxi, you can probably get a job servicing the cabs. That okay with you?” I said certainly it was and thanked him; and everybody laughed and was happy. It was further decided that Joan and I stay with them until we got our first paycheck; we would sleep on the couch that opened out into a bed. Gorged with the big meal, I retired to the bathroom as the women did the dishes and the old man read the paper. (By golly, it seems everything I write about happens in a bathroom, don’t think I’m hungup that way, it’s just the incidents exactly as they occurred, and here is another one, because-) A knock on the toilet door and I rose to let in my resurrected beauty. She was as coy as ever, but removed was much fear and embarrassment. We did a bit of smooching, then, seated on the edge of the tub to observe better as she parted the bathrobe to reveal an ugly red wound, livid against her buttermilk belly, stretching nearly from naval to the clitoris. She was worried I wouldn’t think her as beautiful, or love her as much now that her body had been marred by the surgeon’s knife performing a Caesarian. There might have been a partial hysterectomy too and she fretted that the production of more babies- “when we get the money” -would prove difficult. I reassured her on all counts, swore my love (and meant it) and finally we returned to the living room.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Oh, unhappy mind; trickster! O fatal practicality! I was wearing really filthy clothes but had a change promised me by a friend who lived at 12th and Ogden Sts. So as not to hangup my dwarf cabbie savior when we went to see his buddyboss next A.M., my foolish head thought to make a speedrun and get the necessary clean impediments now. Acting on this obvious need- if I was to impress my hoped-for employer into hiring me- I promised to hurry back, and left. Where is wisdom? Joan offered to walk with me, and I turned down the suggestion reasoning it was very cold and I could make better time alone, besides, she was still pretty weak, and if she was to work tomorrow the strain of the fairly long walk might prove too much,- no sense jeopardizing her health. Would that I’d made her walk with me, would that she’d collapsed rather than let me go alone, would anything instead of what happened! Not only did the new promise for happiness go down the drain, and I lost Joan forever, but her peace was to evaporate once and for all, and she herself was to sink into the iniquity reserved for a certain type of beaten women!</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>I rushed my trip to the clothes depot, made good connections and was quickly on my way back to the warm apartment and my Joan. The route from 12th and Ogden to 16th and Lincoln Sts. Lies for the most part , if one so desires, along East Colfax Ave. Horrible mistake, stupid moment; I chose that path just to dig people on the crowded thoroughfare as I hustled by them. At midblock between Pennsylvania and Pearl Sts. Is a tavern whose plateglass front ill-conceals the patrons of it’s booths. I was almost past this bar when I glanced up to see my younger blood-brother inside drinking beer alone. I had made good time and the hard habit of lushing that I was then addicted to pushed me through the door to bum a quickie off him. Surprise, surprise, he was loaded with loot and, more surprising, gushed all over me. He ordered as fast as I could drink, and I didn’t let the waitress stop, finishing the glass in a gulp; one draught for the first few, then two for the next several and so on until I was sipping normally by the time an hour had fled. First off he wanted a phone number- the reason for his generosity I suspect- and I was the only one who could give it to him. He claimed to have been sitting there actually brooding over the very girl on the other end of this phone number, and I believed him; had to take it true, because for the last five months it had become increasingly clear that he was hot-as-hell for this chick- who was my girl. I gave him the number and he dashed from one booth to the other. I had cautioned him not to mention my name, nor tell her I was there, and he said he wouldn’t. but he did, although he denied it later. The reason for his disloyalty, despite the fact that it cost me Joan, was justifiable since as one might when about to be denied a date of importance while drinking, he had used my whereabouts as a lastditch lure to tempt her out. He came back to the booth from the phonebooth crestfallen, she had said she couldn’t leave the house just now, but to call her back in a half-hour or so; this didn’t cheer him as it would have me, he’s richer and less easily satisfied. He called her again, about forty five minutes after I had first been pulled into the dive by my powerful thirst, and she said for him to wait at this joint and she’d be down within an hour. This length of time didn’t seem unreasonable, she lived quite a ways further out in East Denver. I thought everything was going perfectly. Bill got the Girl, I got my drinks and still had a short period of grace in which to slop up more before she showed (I certainly didn’t intend to be there when she arrived) and I’d only be a little late returning to Joan where I’d plead hassel in getting the clothes. O sad shock, O unpleasant time; had I just not guzzled that last beer all the following would not be written and I could end this story with “And they lived happily ever after.”</i></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Number 1: On June 23, 1945 I was released from New Mexico State Reformatory, after doing eleven months and 10 days (know the song?) of hard labor. Soon after returning to Denver I had the rare luck to meet a 16-year-old East Hi beauty who had well- to- do parents; a mother and a pretty older sister to be exact. Cherry Mary (Mary Ann Fairland) was her name because she lived on Cherry Street and was a cherry when I met her. That condition didn’t last long. I ripped into her like a maniac and she loved it. A tremendous affair, countless things to be said about it- I can hardly help from blurting out twenty or thirty statements right now despite resolution to condense. I’m firm (ha) and won’t tell the story of our five months’ intercourse- with it’s many incidents that are percolating this moment in my brain; about carnival-night we met (Elitch’s), the hundreds of mountain trips in her new Mercury, rented trucks with mattresses in back, at her cabin, cabins I broke into, day I got her to bang Hal Chase, time I gave her clap after momentous meeting between her and mother of my second child (only boy before Diana’s), time I knocked her up; and knocked it, mad nights and early A.M.’s at Goodyear factory I worked alone in front from 4 P.M. to anytime I wanted to go home, doing it on golfcourses, roofs, parks, cemeteries (you know, dead peoples’ homes) snowbanks, schools and schoolyards, hotel bathrooms, her mother’s vacant houses (she was a realtor), doing it every way we could think of any-old-place we happened to be, in fact, we did it in so many places that Denver was covered with our peckertracks; so many different ones that I can’t possibly remember, often we’d treck clear from one side of town to another just to find a spot to drop to it, on ordinary occasions, however, I’d just pull it out and shove- to her bottom if we were secluded, to her mouth if not, the greatest most humorous incident of the lot: to please her mother she’d often babysit for some of their socially prominent and wealthy friends several times a week, I drove out to that particular evening’s assignment, after she called to let me know the coast was clear, (funny English joke; man and wife in living room, phone rings, man answers and says he wouldn’t know, better call the coast guard, and hangs up, wife says, “Who was it, dear?” and man says, “I don’t know, some damn fool who wanted to know if the coast was clear,” har-har-har) and we quickly tear-off several goodies, then, I go back to work; in Goodyear truck, don’t you know. We’d done this numerous times when the “most humorous” evening came up. It was a Sunday night, so no work, I waited outside 16th and High Street apartment till parents left and then went in and fell to it. I had all my clothes off and in livingroom as she was washing my cock in bathroom, (let this be a lesson to you, men, never become separated from your clothes, at least keep your trousers handy, when doing this sort of thing in a strange house- oops, my goodness, I forgot for a second that some of you are out of circulation and certainly not in need of “Lord Chesterfield’s” counseling- don’t show this to your wives, or tell them that I only offer this advice to pass on to your sons, or, if that’s too harsh, to your dilettante friends, whew!, Got out of that) there’s a rattling of the apartment door and into the front room walks the mother of one of the parents of the baby Cherry Mary is watching, so fast did this old bat come in that we barely had time to shut the bathroom door before she saw us. Here I was, nude, no clothes, and all exits blocked. I couldn’t stay there for what if the old gal wanted to pee, and most old women’s bladders and kidneys are not the best in the world. There was no place in the bathroom to hide, nor could I sneak out due to the layout of the apartment. Worse, Mary suddenly remembered the fact that this intruder was expected to stay the night. We consulted in whispers, laughing and giggling despite all, and it was decided Mary would leave the bathroom and keep the old lady busy while suggesting a walk or coffee down the street and still try to collect my clothes and get them to me; no mean feat. My task was to, as quietly as a mouse, remove all the years-long collection of rich peoples’ bath knick-knacks that blocked the room’s only window, then, impossible though it looked, I must climb up the tub to it and with a fingernail file pry loose the outside screen. Now, look at this window, it had four panels of glass 6″ long and 4″ wide, it formed a rectangle of about 12 or 13″ high and 8 or 9″ across, difficult to squeeze through at best, but, being modern as hell, the way it was hooked to it’s frame was by a single metal bar in direct center! which when opened split the panes of glass down the middle and made two windows.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>I could hardly reach outside to work on the screen- since the window opened outward- but I pushed and making a hellova noise, split the screen enough to open the window. Now the impossible compressing of my frame for the squeeze. I thought if I could get my head through I could make it; I just was able to, by bending the tough metal bar the slightest cunthair (in those days I cleaned and jerked 220 lbs.) and of course, I almost tore off my pride-and-joy as I wiggled out into the cold November air. I was damn glad I was only on the second floor, if I’d been higher I would have been hungup in space for sure. So I dropped into the bushes bordering the walk along the side of the building, and hid there shivering and gloating with glee. There was a film of snow on the ground, but this didn’t bother anything except my feet until some man parked his car in the alley garage and came walking past my hideaway, then, much of my naked body got wet as I pressed against the icy ground so he wouldn’t see me. This made me seek better shelter sine it was about 9 P.M.- I’d been in the cold an hour- and a whole string of rich bastards with cars might be putting them away. I waited until no one was in sight then dashed down the walk to the alley and leaped up and grabbed the handy drainpipe of a garage and pulled myself up. The window I’d broken out of overlooked my new refuge and if anyone went in that bathroom they’d see the havoc wrought the place and be looking out to see me. This fear had just formed- I was too cold to be jolly now- when I saw Mary at last come into view. She had my pants, shoes, and coat, but not my T-shirt and socks, having skipped those small items as she bustled about in front of the cause of my predicament “straightening up.” The woman had only noticed my belt and Mary had said she had a leather class in school and was engraving it. When I’d bashed out the window Mary had heard the crashing about, (the old lady must have been deaf; while I was escaping kept talking about Thanksgiving turkey!) ***and had come in the bathroom to clean up, close the window and otherwise coverup. I out on my clothes and chattering uncontrollably from my freezeout walked with Mary to the Oasis Café for some hot coffee. And so it goes, tale after tale revolving around this Cherry Mary period; here’s just a couple more:</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>At first the mother of this frantic fucking filly confided in me and, to get me on her side, asked me to take care of Mary, watch her and so forth. After awhile, as Mary got wilder, the old bitch decided to give me a dressing down, (I can’t remember the exact little thing that led up to this, offhand anyhow) and since she wasn’t the type to do it herself- and to impress me, I guess- she got the pastor of the parish to give me a lecture. Now, her home was in one of the elite parishes and so she got the monseigneur- it was a Catholic church- to come over for dinner the same evening she invited me. I arrived a little before him and could at once smell something was cooking. The slut just couldn’t hold back her little scheme, told Mary to listen closely and began preaching a little of her own gospel to warm me up for the main event. The doorbell rang and her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she sallied forth from the kitchen to answer it. The priest was a middlesized middleaged pink featured man with extremely thick glasses covering such poor eyes he couldn’t see me until our noses almost touched. Coming toward me across the palatial livingroom he had his handshake extended and was in the midst of a normal greeting, the mother escorting him by elbow all the while and gushing introduction. Then it happened, he saw me; what an expression! I’ve never seen a chin drop so far so fast, it literally banged his breastbone. “Neal!! Neal!, my boy!, at last I’ve found my boy!” his voice broke as he said the last word and his Adam’s apple refused to articulate further because all it gave out was a strangled blubber. Choked with emotion, he violently clasped me to him and flung his eyes to heaven fervently thanking his God. Tremendous tears rolled down his cheeks, poured over his upthrust jaw, and disappeared inside his tight clerical collar. I had trouble deciding whether to leave my arms hanging limp or throw them around him and try to return the depth of his goodness by turning to it. Golly and whooooeee!, what a sight!! The priest’s emotion had been one of incredulous joyous recognition, Mary’s mother’s emotion was a gem of frustrated surprise; startled wonder at such an unimaginable happening left her gaping at us with the most foolish looking face I’ve ever seen. She didn’t know whether to faint or flee, never had she been so taken aback, and, I’m sure, didn’t think she ever would be, it was really a perfect farce. Mary and her sister- who was there to lend dignity to her mother’s idea- were as slackjawed as any of us. Depend on sweet Mary to recover fast, she did, with a giggle; which her sister took as a cue to frown upon, thereby regaining her senses. The mother’s composure came with a gasp of artificial goo, “Well! what a pleasant surprise!!” she gurgled with strained smile, feeling lucky she’d snuck out from under so easily. Oho! But wait, aha! She’d made a mistake! Her tension was so unbearable- and she had succeeded so well with her first words- that she decided to speak again, “let’s all go into supper, shall we?” she said in a high-pitched nervous urge. The false earnestness of her tone struck us all as a most incongruous concern and she’d given herself away by being too quick- since her guest was still holding me tightly.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>The ecstatic priest was Harlan Fischer, my Godfather when I was baptized at age 10 in 1936. He had also taught me Latin for some months and saw me occasionally during the following three years I served at Holy Ghost Church as altar boy. At our last meeting I was engrossed in the lives of Saints and determined to become a priest or Christian brother, then, I abruptly disappear down the pleasanter path of evil. Now, six and a half years later, he met me again in Mary’s house as a youth he’s come to lecture. Well, he didn’t get around to the lecture, it never seemed to enter his head because it was too full of blissful joy at finding his lost son. He told me how he’d never had another Godson- it just happened that way- and how he’d prayed every night and day for my soul and to see me again. He could hardly contain himself at the dinner-table, fidgeted and twittered and didn’t touch his food. He dragged the whole story of the long wait for this moment out into the open and before the sullen-hearted (she gave me piercing glances of pure hate when Father Fischer wasn’t looking) mother actually waxed moistly eloquent. When the meal was over the dirty old bitch knew her sweet little scheme had backfired completely for Fischer at once excused himself, saying he was sure everyone understood, because he wanted to talk to me alone, and we left. We drove to his church and then sat in his car for two hours before I got out and walked away, never to see him to this very day, now five years since. He started in with the old stuff, and I, knowing there could be no agreement and not wanting to use him unfairly, came down right away and for once I didn’t hesitate as I told him not to bother; I was sorry for it, but we were worlds apart and it would do no good for him to try and come closer. Oh we did a lot of talking, it wasn’t quite that short and simple, but as I say, I finally left him when he realized there was nothing more to be said, and that was that.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>The other incident I wanted to tell you about can wait, I must cut this to the bone from here on out because I haven’t the money for paper. Anyhow, the reason for this little glimpse into the months just prior to meeting Joan was to show there was some cause for what happened to me in the bar with my younger blood brother. Mind you, I haven’t seen Mary’s mother for at least a month before this night in the bar, although I’d seen Mary about two weeks earlier. Ah, what’s another few lines, I gotta break in here and tell you that other funny little thing about C. Mary. It is this; she was such a hypochondriac that she often played at Blindness. Now wait a minute, this was unusual, because she never complained of illness or anything else, in fact, she didn’t complain about her eyes either, just the opposite, she played at having a true martyr complex toward them. Often we’d spend 12-16 hours in a hotel room while she was “blind.” I’d wait on her hand and foot (and cock) during these times. They’d begin casually enough, she’d simply announce that she couldn’t see and that would go on until she’d just as quietly say she could see again. This happened while she was driving- I’d grab the wheel- while we were walking- I’d lead her- while we were loving- I’d finish anyhow- in fact, this happened any old place she felt like it happening. It was a great little game, she didn’t have to worry, if she smacked up the car, or anything, the old lady would come to the rescue with lots of dough, wouldn’t she? Oh enough!</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Continuing then, from about 1,500 words ago, as to why Joan and I didn’t live Happily Ever After; Very simple, we were given no chance.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>You see, as I drank the last Blood-Brother beer- I remember deciding in all seriousness that it was definitely the last one- 2 plainclothesmen approached, asked if I was Neal C. and promptly hauled me away! It seems Cherry Mary’s Mother, listening on the phone extension to my friend give my whereabouts, had called the police- and she was politically powerful! Why, why, after release on statutory rape with testifying flatly refused by panicky Mary and not a shred of evidence otherwise- flatly panicky, I continued to be held in jail charged with suspicion of Burglary! Of my poolhall hangout yet. Because the charge had a superficial plausibility, since I racked balls there a couple of times and knew the layout- I knew a lot of fearful moments before Capt. Of Dicks admitted he knew I was clear all along, released me finally weeks later.</i></span></span></div>

Ginsberg refused. After drafting <i>Howl</i>, though, Ginsberg changed his mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The reading was October 7, 1955, and was the first public showing of the works of the beat poets, which before had only been known to a small circle of people.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For 3 weeks in 1951, Kerouac wrote on a scroll about trips and friends between 1947 and 1950, using notebooks which contained much of the text, and which had begun to be turned into a novel by 1948. In 1950 Keroac devised the idea of Spontaneous Prose after reading a long letter from Neil Cassady and wrote the novel as if a letter to a friend, written like jazz.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the next half decade, Kerouac spent time working various jobs, living with his mother, travelling, drinking, and writing the drafts of 10 other novels. </span>The Speakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479914695740351393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177518739364128793.post-11056907304977624452013-11-17T21:48:00.004-08:002013-11-17T21:54:49.970-08:00City Lights Pocket Series, 1955-2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">The first all-paperback bookstore in the US, at first sharing the space with other shops, was opened in 1953 by sociology professor Peter D. Martin, who had relocated from NYC in the 40's. Ferlinghetti, a French teacher in an adult education program, painter, and art critic, met him one day outside hanging a sign "Pocket Book Shop" and they decided to invest $500 each. They hired Shig Murao as clerk, who worked for free for the first few weeks. The bookstore became a popular place with writers and artists. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><br />
Martin left in 1955. Ferlinghetti published his first book of poems, <i>Pictures of the Gone World</i>, in August 1955, and followed this with books by Kenneth Rexroth, Kenneth Patchen, Marie Ponsot, Bob Kaufman, Denise Levertov, Robert Duncan, William Carlos Williams, and Gregory Corso.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On October 7, 1955 Ferlinghetti was at the Six Gallery reading where:</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Phillip Lamantia read poems by his dead friend John Hoffman.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> McClure read "Point Lobos Animism" and "For the Death of 100 Whales".</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Gary Snyder read "A Berry Feast".</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Philip Whalen read "Plus Ca Change." </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Allen Ginsberg read <i>Howl</i>.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Jack Kerouac refused to read his work and shouted "Yeah! Go! Go!" during the performances.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Neil Cassady passed around a wine jug and a collection plate.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The next day he telegraphed Ginsberg to congratulate him and later offered to publish him. </span><br />

The mausoleum for the woman who Shah Jahan loved at first sight is inscribed with inscriptions, mostly from the Koran. The planning was begun after Jahan was brought out of secluded mourning by his daughter, as Jahan was on military campaign. The construction, beginning 1632, took 22 years and 22 000 laborers to complete the principle and surrounding buildings and garden. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
After a five-year betrothal, Jahan married Arjumand Banu Begum on the auspicious day selected by his sages. Finding her in looks and personality the best of all women of the time, he gave her the name Mumtaj Mahal, "Chosen One of the Palace". She was "the Cradle of Excellence" to others. Jahal mostly put off the rights to his other wives, and for 19 years she was with him and he trusted her, and she was with him throughout his earlier campaigns and the rebellion against his father. They had 14 children together, and Mumtaj died giving birth to the 14th while with Jahan, fighting in the Deccan Plateau. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
Jahan's words on the building:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
<i>Should the guilty come here for asylum, like a pardon he is set free from sin,<br />Should a sinner come here all the past is washed out from him,<br />In the eyes of all this mansion brings soft sighs, This mansion's sight draws sorrowing sighs<br />it brings tears to the heavenly bodies.<br />In the world therefore this mausoleum was created<br />For to display God's glory.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i>
The calligraphy on the Great Gate reads: <i>"O Soul, thou art at rest. Return to the Lord at peace with Him, and He at peace with you."</i></span><br />

The garden, completed in 1653, is a complex square divided into four and each forth into four sunken flowerbeds. A raised marble water tank forms a line between the mausoleum and the gate, called the "Tank of Abundance" in reference to that recorded as promised to Muhammad. The traditional charbagh format symbolizes a paradise described as an ideal garden with four rivers flowing from a central spring or mountain, separating the garden into north, west, south and east. The garden was filled with roses, daffodils, and fruit trees. </span><br />

The land was compensated to the Maharajah Jai Singh with a large palace in the center of Agra. 1000 elephants were used to transport transglucent white marble from Makrana, Rajasthan, jasper from Punjab, jade and crystal from China, turqoise from Tibet, Lapis Lazuli from Afganistan, sapphire from Sri Lanka, carnelian from Arabia. A board of architects under imperial supervision planned for 20 000 workers from across Northern India; sculptors from Bukhara, calligraphers from Syria and Persia, inlayers from southern India, stonecutters from Baluchistan, a gold caster from Lahore, a lapidary from Chiranjilal were among the team of masters.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Yet all were certain, as certain as could be, the wind would</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">not be harsh, and likely there would be no wind at all.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Well, up came a storm! It roared up, we were</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">still far from any harbor in that dark. The wind made terrible moans and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">the waves raged hungry against the hull, 5 meters high.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I was socked in the stomach by some big piece of wood</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I was washed out into sea from the rolling vessel,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">the vessel sank, not one man survived.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I was carried, by a great green swell, to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">a desert island.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">The first three days my heart</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">was my sole companion. I nested in the shadows of a covering tree.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Finally, that third day, I stretched my legs</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">in order to discover what there was to eat. What I found:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Figs, grapes, every sort of green:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Sycamore figs, knotched figs, and cucumbers that looked as good as on any farm.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Also there were fish, and birds. There was nothing this island did not have.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I filled myself past satisfaction, spilling and dropping what I'd</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">gathered in my arms--</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I fashioned myself a firedrill, and built myself a fire,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">and here I made an offering to the gods.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then I heard a rumbling. Another storm approaching, the roar</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I made out to be the roar of oncoming waves. Trees</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">were breaking. The ground was vibrating.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I looked through two of the fingers over my face and saw</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">a huge giant serpent coming my way.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Over 20 meters long, width huge,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">It's beard hung down a meter.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">It's leather was scales of gold, and lapis lazuli were it's eyes.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Before me it's great mouth opened, and in fear</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I trembled down to my belly before him.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">He breathed: "What brings you? brings you? little man? what brings you?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Hesitate to respond to me for an instant, and you will find yourself</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">ashes which will answer no questions again."</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">"Though you might ask, I am not all quite here to answer.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I am here before you, but I hardly know what's going on."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then into his mouth he took me and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">away he spirited me to the place of his residence,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">and again set me down without malignance.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Still whole--no bites were out of me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">He bared his mouth before me again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I got down on my belly again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">"What brings you? brings you? little man? what brings you? to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">this island, in the great green sea, where shores are as shifty as the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">changing waves?"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">This time I told him all about it. Raising my arms as the gesture addressing the gods,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I started to say, "I was sailing to the region of the royal mines on the kings ship, in a vessel grand, 60 meters long, 20 meters broad, manned my 120 of Egypts best men. Show them sea! Show them land! Braver than lions were they. Each was stronger and braver than the next. Not a slouch in the lot! They could tell a storm coming a mile away, and smell foul weather on the air before any sight.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then a storm came up! We were still far out in open sea. No chance of reaching harbor.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">The wind howled foully, moaning, biting sharp, and there were hungry waves 5 meters high!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Some piece of wood hit me, and then the ship she went down.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Of all those men, best of the men in Egypt, not a one survived.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Only myself here, before you. After that I was carried</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">by a great green swell to be cast up on this desert island."</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then the snake said to me: "Fear not! fear not! My little man! A pale trembling face you must not show! You have found your way to this island. Look, It is God has let you live that you may be brought to this desert isle. There is nothing this island does not have! It is a land which engenders vitality in all that grows, and it is full of every fine and lovely thing.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Now, you will stay here and you'll spend a month,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">then another, then another, until</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">four months on this island you have passed.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">And then a ship will come from Egypt. With sailors in it</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">whom you know.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">And you will go on home with them to die in your own city.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">What joy it is for one to tell of the things he has gone through and suffered</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">when his suffering is over!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">But let me tell you a story. It's a bit like this.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">It happened once upon on this very isle.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I was here, living with all my family and companions in one big group.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">75 persons we totaled. My offspring, relatives, and friends.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">There was also a young girl who was washed up here by chance.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">A star fell, and they were all gone, burnt up in flame.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">It happened while I happened to be away. All burned... and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">not even with them.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I wanted to be dead instead of them. After finding them a heap of tangled cinders.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">If you have courage, steel your heart</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">that you may fill your arms with children and kiss</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">your wife, and see your home.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Believe me, it is better than all else</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">when you are back again</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">and dwell within the bosom of your friends."</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Here I was flat stretched out forehead to the dirt, bowing</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">in respect, and I answered, "Let me return to tell</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">report of your magnificence to my king, all tell about all your</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">precious ointments, balsam, spices, perfumes, and the sacred oils</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">and finest incense for the temple, that the gods enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">And tell them all that has happened to me, and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">of what I have seen of your power,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">and the gods will be praised for your existence in the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Capitol. In the courts and counsils of the land! I will</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">slaughter cattle and offer them to you on altars. I will wring the necks</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">of birds for you!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Let me have them bring a fleet to you</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">laden with the wealth of Egypt, as is done for a foreign god much loved</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">by men, hitherto unknown, who has shown favor to us in a distant land.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">He laughed at this, at what I'd told him. My solemn declaration, the contents</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">of my heart.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">"Your's is no great supply of myrrh. Though it happens</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">you have incence. While I myself am a king of Punt. The myrrh from there is mine.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">And that poor sacred oil you talk of bringing here is the chief product on this island.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">And anyway, after you leave here you will never again</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">see this island, which will shift away with the waves of the sea.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">At last, after 4 months, the ship arrived.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I climbed to a height in order to see, and I recognized the crew.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I ran down to report it to the snake</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">but found he already knew.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then he opened his huge mouth to me: "Fare well, fare well, my little man. Off to your home to see your little children.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Make a good report of me when you get there. That's one demand I ask of you.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I placed myself on the ground before him and raised my arms gratefully.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then he gave me a load of cargo. Myrrh, sacred oils, perfumes, spices, kohl, giraffe tails,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">incense, elephant tusks, hounds, monkeys and baboons, every good imaginable. I loaded it all</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">onto the ship.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I prostrated myself again before him, thanking and praising God for him.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then he said to me: "In two months you shall see your home land. You will hold your children in your arms and grow young again until you die there.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then I went down to the shore and hailed the crew. Beside the sea I offered thanks to the Lord</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">of the Isle, and the crew aboard did likewise.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">From there we made our way northwards</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">to the city of the King</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">In two months we arrived there, just as he had said.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then I was granted audience with my King</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">and presented him with my gifts there,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">which I had brougt from that island.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">He offered thanks to God for my return,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">and before the courts and counsils of the Land</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">I was made a royal Follower and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">given 200 servants. Imagine! Me there, returned home,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">after seeing all that I had seen!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Now, let what I said to you sink in a little, Captain,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">sometimes what people say can help you, you know."</span><br />
<br style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;" />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Then he replied, "Don't try to play the expert, friend.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Does one give water to a sacrificial bird</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">the morning of it's execution day?"</span>The Speakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479914695740351393noreply@blogger.com0
