December 4, 1969...36 years ago today
Black Panthers Fred Hampton, 21, and Mark Clark, 22, are gunned down by 14 police officers as they lie sleeping in their Chicago, Illinois, apartment. Nearly a hundred bullets had been fired in what police described as a fierce gun battle with members of the Black Panther Party. However, ballistics experts later determined that only one of those bullets came from the Panthers’ side. In addition, the “bullet holes” in the front door of the apartment, which police pointed to as evidence that the Panthers had been shooting from within the apartment, were actually nail holes created by police in an attempt to cover up the attack. Four other Black Panthers were wounded in the raid, as well as two police officers.

Marshall McLuhan sez:
“Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but, disguised as a market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility and comfort.”
Jean-Paul Sartre sez:
“Once you hear the details of victory, it is hard to distinguish it from a defeat.”

If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao...
“We must not adopt an antagonistic stand towards comrades and treat them as we would the enemy.”

At the suggestion of Expendable Helga from Down Under, here’s a sampling from the rap song Warren Beatty, uh, performs in Bulworth (1998):
Over here we’ve got friends from oil
They don’t give a shit how much wilderness is spoiled
They tell us that they care for us/We know that it’s a lie
As long as we keep driving cars/They let the planet die.
Exxon, Mobil, the Saudis, and Kuwait
If we took out the Middle East/The atmosphere can wait
The Arabs got the oil/We buy everything they sell
But if the brothers raise the price/We blow ‘em all to hell
Now let me hear you say it:
SADDAM HUSSEIN!
