“oe a te ~ NY 100-161445 "One aspect of the rising revolutionary youth culture is a new use of language. We talk like television commercials, non-linear images are run together in a hap- hazard way. The evidence of speeches used against us here in trial has all been translated by undercover agents. It is not the way we talk, not at all, for to reveal the exact way in which we speak would be devastating to the government's case. So although they have multiple-recorcings of every speech, press conference and even phone calls, the government needs translators. "Speaking in symbolic language is necessary to crack the word mush that the people in this country are exposed to daily. "The word competition is fierce. For example, the average person in Amerika within a normal day is exposed to more than 1,600 commercials through a mass of billboards, television flashes and colorful spreads in magazines, "People who wish to raise the revolutionary consciousness of youth are not the only ones aware of the need for strong imagery in their statements. Spiro Agnew refers to nis own speeches as employing ‘punchy language to create the visual impact desired’. George Wallace in his recent campaign for President was full of expressions lfke, ‘rf demonstrators lie down in front of my car, I'm gonna run ‘em over,' "This isn't even advocating self-defense violence such as that supported by the Black Panther Party for Self- Defense. Punchy language, it seems can only be used with impunity by the conspiracy in power, So as here in Chicago and probably again in Washington for Conspiracy Number II, we are tried for our language. -65=
