month engagement at the Con-
spiracy 8 trial in Chicago, and
Roger Priest, about to bc court

iticn held their own court tnwhat
Davis called "the real court-
room."
Deienrl.-mt Hoffman entered the
armory doing carhvheels. He
hassled with the microphone and
t, _. ens: ABBOTT L.-1 /mu, ,
Fi .. sr O

_@17@f@Ua@17@limE§
quipped, the medium is the
mesmll .- -
But, last night was their last
stand and Hotlman and Davis
lived up to e promise to "make
it mg.-'. -
Ciowniike, Hoiirnan appealed
tor mtts in his typical style.
"It costs it lot oi tucking money
to go to prison these days. This
trial has set Hanoi back a pretty
pem,y_n
After apologizing for being
drunk, "They don't serve Am.-
pulco gold on Untied Airlines,"
he welcomed himself to Mary-
land.
Recalling a speech given at
UMBC the day before the trial
began, he explained its relevance
to the conspiracy charge:"Some-
how the government has some
kind oi screwy computer that can
iigure all that shit out."
Remarks he made that night
were introduced as evidence
against him shortly alter the trial
had gotten underway despite de-
fense objects that they were ir-relevant. '
Earlier, Davis gleeiuily ad-
mitted that he and Hoffman had
conspired on the plane and noted
that last night's speech was pro-
bably their last chance to incite
"anything. '
Regardless oi the verdict, he
said, they and two of their at-
torneys will probably be tailed
tor contempt oi court.
"This is the last chance to
urge the people in this room to
cross state lines with lnclteltil
intent to disrupt the ftepuhiican
national convention in 1972," he
told the cheering and "stamping
crowd.
He said their etiorts at the
Chicago convention were to dis-
rupt the sham and the mockerythat the politicians were putting
over as democracy and "to my
no to tour more years oi Lyn-
don Johnson's war."
Davis suggested that Conspir-
acy supporters look aheadioi9?6
saying, "The two-hundreth anni-
versary or our American rev-
olution is not a time to recount
history but to repeat it." 7
Hoffman, who expects to go to
Leavenw orih "Where the straight
criminals go--with the big boys,
said; . -
"lviayhe we belong there.hio-
body's put up it fight like this
in the history oi the world. The
history oi political trials is that
they're all losers," he added.
1
Given the law that leglslates
against the state oi mind," he
reminded the crowd, "only in
1984 fascism can you go to pris-
_% nnnr H-urn rivll I"92i"1it.=: QPJL" -..t..-. --- ---.- --,,----. ---_
He also admitted to a conspi-
racy. we are it conspiracy
against imperialism, racism,
hart-assrnent oi the youth cui-
ture and the boredom and sen-
ility oi the American pig cul-
tufe. ' . "
Hofiman said, "we defy every
law in the .world--including the
law of gravity. What goes up
doesn't necessarily have to come
down."
It sharp contrast from the
volatile Hoffman, the first
speaker, Roger Priest seemed
calm and vaguely out or place.
He is being court mertialed on
1 collection of charges that may
net him 39 claims in prison.
He wrote a newspaper oiihase,
on his own time, and with his
owomoncy that_ he cltams an-
gered Mendel Rivers, head oi
the armed services committee,
among others.

Freedom of speech and of the press were established at the trial of john Peter Zenger two _
centuries ago. Yet, today the U. S. Navy -- backed by the fossil-like chairman of the House
Armed Services Committee, L. Mendel Rivers, D. S. C.! are planning to court-martial the
First Amendment of the Constitution and thereby be in_a position to smash the GI anti-war
press. _ t a _ -
The oft-postponed trial of this reporter will probably take place in the latter part of January
or early February. It will be in this trial that the military for the rst time will challenge '
the right of a GI to put out a paper on his own time, o-base and with his own funds - a right
supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution. e - - - 1 -- a .- .. > ' , __ -
What started opt on June 20, 1969 as four-and-one-half single-spaced, typewritten pages
listing 14- charges and specications was reduced to eight charges and specifications when
referred to trial August 28, 1969. After a hearing before Capt. B. Raymond Perkins, the mil-
itary judge, two more charges and specications were dropped -- these alleging solicitation
to commit sedition and deseriion through statements in OM. .
But the System struck back and the convening authority, Rear Adm. George P. Koch, Comman-
dant Washington Naval District, ordered that the dismissed charges be reinstated. '
My lawyers were not disturbed by this new interference into the trial proceedings. They
carried the issue up to the Court of Military Appeals, which on Dec. 19. 1969 ordered Koch to
answer our charge that he applied command influence on the military judge in ordering that '
the charges be reinstated. - ' '_ . . . . A
No matter what decision is finally reached by the Court, a trial will take place on the six
counts under Article 134 Uniform Code of Military In!]ustice which have remained intact to
this date. It is under this notorious catchall provision of the code that I'm being charged with
the "crime" of "advising and urging insubordination and disloyalty with intent to interfere with,
impair and inuence the loyalty, morale and discipline of military and naval forces" through
statements in OM "which said pamphlet which in its entirety contained statements djlsloyal to
the United States. " -
If found guilty of this "crime of speech" I could receive a dishonorable discharge and up to 39
years in jail. _The rldiculousnessof the charges and its obvious repressive intent does not need
expanding upon, except to say that as an American citizen I have been speaking and writing the
truth as I see it to be. If that be a "crime" it is one I PROUDLY admit! And I might add that
I am more than willing to measure my "crime" against those who have perpetrated the illegal,
immoral and genocidal war being waged against the people at Vietnam. - '
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are not liberties that are won easily -- and are
I10! liberties 120 be given away easily. L. Mendel Rivers may get the court-martial that he OI"
dered and the Navy just may get the conviction that it wants SO desperately. Bill I E811 it IO YOU
straight; theirs will be a hollow victory. It will be WE -- not THEY ~- who will have the last
word. Pray for the aged. And remember that we are the imply damn younger generation around.By Roger Priest, U.S. Navy ' '

founding convention held June, 1952, at Port Huron, Michigan.
From an initial posture of participatory democracy" the line
of the notional leadership has revealed e growing Marxist-
Lcniniet adherence which currently cells for the building of
a revolutionary youth movement. Concurrently, the program of
SDS hos evolved from civil rights struggles'to an anti~Victnem
war stance to an advocacy of e militant enti~imperielist position
Chine, Vietnam and cube are regarded as the leaders of worldwide
struggles against United States imperialism whereas the Soviet
Union is held to_bc revisionist end also imperialist. _
At the June, l959, SDS National Convention, Progressive
Labor Party PLP! forces in the organization were expelled. As
a result, the Notional Office HO! group maintained its National
Headquarters at 1603 West Madison Street, Chicago, and the PLP
faction set up headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This
headquarters subsequently moved to Boston. Each group elected
its own national officers, which include three national secretcri
and Q ctional Intetim Committee of eight. Both groups ele0.prit
their versions of "How Left Notes" which sets forth the line and
the program of the particular faction. The N0 version of "Ken
Left Notes" was recently printed under the title "The Fire Next.
Time" to achieve a broader mess appeal. _ i .
Two major fections_heve developed internally within the
NO group, namely, the Weatherman or Revolutionary Youth Movement RYM! I faction, and the RYM II faction. Weatherman is action»oriented upholding Castro's position that the duty of revolution
cries is to mete revolution. Uccthoruon is regarded by RYE II
as an gdventuristic, elitist faction which denies the hietorical
role of the working class as the base for revolution. Rim II
maintains that revolution, although desired, is not possible
under present conditions, hence emphasizes organizing and reisir
the political consciousness of the-working class upon when they
feel successful revolution depends. Although discleiming contr
and domination by the Communist Pcrty,_USA, leaders in these tw
factions have in the past proclaimed themselves to be communist
and tpIB1lOW the precepts of e Marxist~Leninist philosophy, aloprorhinesc communist lines. '-' ' i , _ i '

Is this the Jury of my peers?
How do people usually react to you Abbie?
what people do you mean, there are lots'
of people here.
wen, Abbie what sort of reaction do -
you get from people as you go about?
Well, I think there are like two reactions
I think that older people say that you
look much better with yourhair cut, and
I think that younger people say that it
was a crime; and I think that it symbolizes
the split in America.
How much hair did they cut off?
Hell, actually they shaved my head but
this has grown back in a week.
All that in a week? _
Yeah; its a fancy unintelligible!. The
barber was probably the hair cut stylist,
it was about the bloodbst in penal history.
I mean they had to handcurf us and drag
us down four flights of stairs and tie
+n +hn nhnir and fha barber was an I1-. . . kl-I ww vaiwp -ulna-I-up w-an-n -i-. - -p - -'- -----_ -.-
innate and uh-- m hair was quite long
and they had me on the floor handcuffed
and the guards pulled n heir up by the
pigtail and said to the barber some down
and shave his head and he refused, he was
an inmate and when we got into the chair

QFrost:
Hoffman
Prost:
Hoffmanthey handcuffed us and he said when the
warden turned around that I'll wet your
hair down and so they wet our hair and
shaved it...you know he shaved it a little
The sheriff, he went around with our
shaved heads,sortot like John the Baptist
heads on a plate, showing it to Republican
fund raising dinners showing pictures of
my shaved head! and saying that the
Republicans get results. He has little
packets of our hair that they are rattling
oft for Republican fund raising events.
Chicago has quite its own scene working,
irbof like the Philistines control, but
actually they control the whole country.
But I think the hair cuts of these seven
Samsons are going to result in the
destruction of the temple in the same way
that they did of old.
Would you be disappointed if people didn't
do things like that to you, don't you set
out to provoke people?
That's an interesting question, cause I
was on a British interview show and I
did an impersonation or you in which I
asked that very question. Impersonation -
Don't you believe that your tactics
actually bring on a wave of repression
and create a police state in which you are
actually battling against .!
Fell I suppose.
You know tomorrow is the anniversary of
the Boston Massacre, the 200th anniversary
and I'm from Boston, so if you try and
reenact it you might not get the sane
response.

David Frost:
Abbie Hoffmanmeans that we were guilty of a state
of mind,rectuelly the evidence against
us is three speeches, two of mine which
were press conferences. I don't know
how you incite newsmen they're not the
revolutionary fcrce in America.
What was the moment in the trial that
you were proudest of? =
Hell the lest day clearly, when the uh..
the sentences for contempt came down we
felt that it was sort of a battle between
us and the Judge, because it had become
sort of like a personal feud uh... his
demanding authority and our recognizing-
that that authority was in many ways
legitimate. I mean here we were before
e judge who for the last 2% trials get
2% guilty verdicts, his attitude towards
the defendant well you here in the court,
like he's opening a candy store and you _
ere here to buy, so its Just e question -
of Just how much time you get. So he had
e clear record of finding all these people
guilty and rightfully opening uh...when
the opening ball is thrown out, he right
away went after our lawyers. We felt -
that there was, that we hsd...we did feel
contempt for him, we did feel contempt
for the court system as to the law which
put us on trial, and especially over like
in Chicago event, where we felt it was a
clear case of the victims being called
the criminals. So the contempt in our
speeches was filled with anger, and defiance
but when the sentence came and we were P
convicted by the Jury uh...every where
sitting the five of us or the seven and
the tee lseyers, I seen its not clesr
whether its the Chicago 5,7,9 or ten
million, we were sitting there and our
families were excluded from the courtroom
our friends were excluded, there were

CI,fifty marshals in the room, there were
all the press and there was the Judge
and the prosecutor. And I remember that
Tom Hanney remarked this was the ultimate
in freedom of speech in America, we're
allowed to say a few words to a press
which is going to distort it and to the
Judge who couldn't care less, all he did
while we were making the speeches was
thumbing through his citations getting
ready to sentence us and the prosecutors
were sneering. And that was the ultimate
in freedom of speech, but at that moment
I personally felt proud to be a part of
the conspiracy and proud to be a part
of another people. I kind of lost my
individual ego which is pretty big.

court? would you resist the authority
of any court in fact? ~

what? It's sort of a ntnvariable
comunication. How's it going?
would you feel contempt to any Judge in
any court, or would you agree to any .
court in America? d
There are distinct problems in the court
system but the number oi arresm and the
number of court experiences that I have
experienced, is that fundamentally that....
I think that fundamentally the idea of
a trial by the Jury of your peers is an
accurate and good idea, I mean the problem
is how do you determine the trial by the
Jury of your peers. For example, when we
were in county Jail a grand Jury came in
and the grand Jury in America that's
responsible for people going on trial
most of the time; the grand Jury came in,
we questioned them, they were all white
they were all over forty, they all had
incomes of $20,000 and up, they all came
from the suburbs and yet they were in a

society in Cook County Jail, which is
90$ black, 90$ under thirty, you see;
and 90% from an income bracket other
than theirs. It was like one nation was
sitting in Judgement on another nation,
it was actually a process of colonialization.
I think to understand racism which was a
key point in the reasons for going to the
Democratic Convention was one has to go
to prison because you see it is literally
a case of black and white. And I think
theta what the seven of us have pledged
ourselves to eliminate in this country
more than anything else, I mean uh..
* here's my prison braniet, you know you.are
transformed into a number sort of like the
telephone system, you get an area code in
prison,m:h1e was 7001920. And we sort of
pledged ourselves to the time when nobody
has to wear any of these, and we have
- done that. The same amount-of money that
" was raised for our bail, we raised an
equal amount to free some of the people
that we were in jail with, and we've
come back to live in New York to work
exclusively on the Panther 21 trial. Because
we feel that it may raise us more important
to the revolution at our trial work. Our
trial was your issue....it was the New .
York Times issue. It kept complaining
our antics, our antics and our defiance
we were burying I've had trouble with
that word ever since Khrushchev decided
to use the tens! but they kept saying
that we were burying the issue, you see
- but the issues that they thought were o
the issues were never the issues to us.
_David Frost: what was the issue?
Abbie Hoffman: We teel that it is a struggle between
lire and death, we viewed it as a struggle
between our culture which is emerging a
culture that believes that free men and
tree women have the right to walk on a

Jfree planet. We viewed it as that
struggle with a dying death culture
and thats represented by the government.
If you had the power to fashion your
country tomorrow, how would it differ?
It would be heaven. I mean I'm a
heavenist, I believe in heaven, and I
think that we could have it, I'm not
the traditional kind or leftist and I'm
not martyr that uh....I did not have a
good time in jail, none of the seven of
us did, they ran out or nails long before
they got to us. I think we think that
the revolution will come out of Jury
rather than out of:sacrifice. we have
e concept of a revolution which the i
technology and the services are available
to all of the people come who may...all
over the world literally heaven on earth;
Ie think we can have it, we think the
technology particularly in this country.
I mean I've been all over to universities
as the Attorney General can tell you and
Hr. Agnew and it seems that scientist
not only know how to build a better mouse
trap but now can literally build a better
mouse and the technology is available to
nrovioe for all the needs and all the
services to do things like keep the rivers
clean and keep our garbage and our garbage
values out of the rest of the world, and
ee right ageinst that kind or systen that
does not allow that kind of economic system
to come into being.
Hot all the people see the hippie movement
or whatever you care to call it as some-
thing for the tiny minority, it your
heaven on earth came about. How would life
be better for the other persons, out of
iew York, intelligible!, out of Chicago?

David Frost:They would not have to indulge in that
dirty word called "work". We demand
equal unemployment. .
Hell thats strange. How come you are not
working now, you love it so much? -
we don't think that people ought to work,
no... that doesn't mean they shouldn't
struggle to do what they believe in, but
you see this is a Protestant ethic which
would combine with the rise of capitalism,
because all of the people, like the ones
that moaned, think that well people only
do things you know if they are threatened
if theyre kept in slavery if they are
told they won't get into heaven if you don't
buy life insurance, keep your money in"
the bank, we don't think that. People
are going to say whose going to pick up
the garbage, you see but we don't see
the problem that way. Nobody says to a
poet how are you going to write the poems
nan if you don*t get any money. I mean
you don't say to a doctor what are you
going to keep doing your work for if you.
don't know or if you are not guaranteed
a lire insurance policy for the rest of
your life. People really like what they
do, and we plan to destroy work and turn
everyone into an artist literally.
And who would pick up the garbage in tact?
Hell there are a lot of answers for that
whose going to pick up the garbage. You,
the moener, that guy, the skeptic, the
skeptics will pick up the garbage.
Hell, will you tell them tc or will they
do it themselves?

loads or people that manage to stay swans
20 hours a day and keep busy without
regarding what they are doing as work.
Doing what sort of thing?
Oh, they're doing what they went to do.
when you do what you want to do when you
enjoy it, its not work. I don't see
where its so complicated; but you see
what you do....you see you have that as
a vision...you have Utopia, heaven as
a vision and you create a society so
that it creates more leisure time......
Oh, it don't make sense honey? Ask your
daughter, she'il explain it to you.
If she don't explain it to you she'll

Hell, lets Just ask one more question
could you put your hand up please?
The lady in the second ruw.
Where did you work to get the money
for the Jacket you have on?
I stole this Jacket! Stealing is just a
process of re-distributing wealth. We
consider that property is already theft,
Just in the same way as capitalism already _
is violence. The Jacket is really kind
of funny, except in an airport when you
go into the bathroom...I havent figured
that out, but I have most of this down
pat. It was fun to have in the Jail
with me, it reminded me of my hair.

to Judge Julie, and... wait a second...
that's okay you can interrupt but I
didn't get to finish...but the Judge later
said when he denied permission for any or
our family to sit in, he said that "one
young lady threatened to kill me . You
see you've got to understand the difference
in that kind of language, I mean was that
a threat I don't know, it was symbolic it
was poetry. I have a book here, the book
was a key evidence a book that I wrote
here in America! used against me to send
me to prison. A book! A book that I
wrote and published. Two television
interviews like this was used to send me
to prison. That's right. Well thats
true, its always easy to believe in free
speech when you have people come on that
like don't raise any controversial issues.
Its easy to have it that way. Thats what
America always had anybody who has said
anything has always been shot or put in
prison. -
Is there anywhere in the world which
approaches the ideal society that you
would like to see? I mean is there any-
where you can quote us an example?
Hell, frankly I don't see one because I
don't see any country having the technology
that this country has and the importance
and the relevance of that technology in
terms or developing revolution, a post
scarcity economy. But I do see the spirit
in Cuba.
It you had to pick one.....
I would like to but I travel first class

Audience:Well, I like the Marx's brothers, all
of them, including Tal. I like them.
I think that the revolution that we
are talking about is about American as
hamburger, the only difference is that
it has more meat. But my hero ranges
from H.C. Fields to Che Guevara and
Lennie Burce is tough.
People say....
I line everyone whose for freedom yeah.
But, although you keep saylng its going
to be heaven for everyone, it does seem
as though you yourself like the idea of
being part of a small minority and against
them. Do you wish that everybody was on
your side or wouldn't you then be absolutely
miserable if everyone agreed with you?
I mean it seems to me that you encourage
the minority feeling.
What are those questions there? You
ask me if I enjoy what I am doing?
No, I'm asking you if what you said
that this could be heaven that this is
an American revolution that you want to
lead, could it be heaven for everybody
else on earth and so on. You very
deliberately seem to some how to exclude
most people.
Ho I don't. You don't understand that.
I mean you were speaking from a very
controlled environment to an audience
to which young people and black people
are excluded. I wouldn't say they're
excluded, but its not within their culture.
Ho, no

watch Ozzie and Harriet? Jackie Gleason?
I mean what is on television? The only
thing that is interesting to young people
is the news, because....
Iou're not speaking to e young audience,
its got black people and so on.
Hot that many I don't think. Just try

what are you going to do with people
who don't agree with you?
Un..okey...I think that I would believe
in a decentralized government decisionmaking, I mean if the unintelligibleg
want to control Texas you see, go do t.
You see I have never met discussions like
this and audience like this, people that
like their work. You see if I talked to
somebody individually they could mean
that the boss is a drag, its miserable,
conditions are rotten, I don't get
bread and I don't have enough time
what I want to do, they're not happyenough

You
see only a group therapy kind of drama

I think that they would have a good time.
You think that everybody would have a

what would they do all day? Do you
think that they would be happy at doing
nothing all day long? For the rest of
their lives?
well, they would eat, they would ereete
art, they would have a relationship for
what you call work as if it were art.
They would say that it was a part or them,
it was a part of expression of themselves
as creative human beings. You see work
is something...I got to do work, I don't
do work I am going to tall out of society
l'm going to be called evil, dirty to be
out on the street which is about the
dirtiest place in America to be right now,
because its all eck on the streets! All
or middle class white America is in doors
somewhere hiding in the closet you know
while the kids are out in the streets so
you know you have to reform your attitude
towards work. I mean that will happen
anyway. You just talk to your grandfather
you know he'll say that you are Just goofing
off all day because he worked 60 to 70
a day.

If you mean by your concept physical
prison, probably quite a bit. I Just
view most of America as a prison.
Why don't you get out?
I em trying to do that and I encourage all
young people to engage in Jail breaks
especially those who are in high schools
because they are the ultimate prison in
America.
What about that light phrase.... or what
does the phrase law and order mean to you?
Its synonymous because law as I see it
means tyranny, and it means...like you
have law to maintain order and the order
is defined by the people in charge. I've
been arrested in the last... since the
Democratic Convention I've had eleven
arrests. I've been arrested for not fasten-
ing my seat belt on a plane, for possession
of a huge gun collection right next door
to a police station, in a room that I
don't even know and was never in, uh for
wearing e shirt that looked like the
American flag although my partner Jerry
Rubin has a shirt made out of the Viet '
Cong flag and he wasn't arrested. What
is this....e Commie country arresting
a guy with the American flag and you don't
take me! That's when we went up unintelligib
I've been put on trial for the books that
I have written, speeches that I have given.
I was once arrested in Mississippi for going
through a red light in s town where there
wasn't s red light in the whole town. And
I was beaten for seven hours in Mississippi.
The Sheriff said "well boy, you'll have to
get your vision checked if you don't think
we have red lights in this town". And I
soon came to learn that Mississippi was
all of America and law is used that way.

Do you think that there is any evidence

and about the amazing phenomenon that
was. But than again there was that

there any evidence to suggest that your

No, no. There's a spiritual and emotional
feeling but I would hate people to
consider the evidence because if they
considered the evidence they would be
doing what the prosecutor in our case
and the Judge told the jury to do which
in fact can't be done. I mean here was
a trial for example in which...perhaps
it was a case of rationality versus
emotionality and that kind of debt
unintelligible! versus life process
as sure as Bobby Seals a black man who
is demanding the right to be defended by
a lawyer of his choice whose got the right
to defend himself which is a fundamental
right in this system of law and so demanding
this right the Judge eventually tied and
chained him in the courtroom and when he
did this and the Jury came back in he said
"Oh don't regard anything you see ladies
and gentlemen, Just the evidence of the
case, Just consider the evidence". For
five and half months of this trial they
weren't to consider how he looked, they
weren't to consider any of our attitudes

How should have the Judge reacted towards s
you?
The Judge called us names. The Judge
said....well there is a transcript
coming out and it is an edited version,
called "Tales of Hoffman and there are
a number of books by me, there's the movie,
you wont believe what the Judge did! The
Judge would say things in front of the
Jury for example "Mr. Kunstler you're
from Raw York you uouldnt understand the
way we do things here in Chicago". He
always made a point of that in front of
the Jury. He would say "Why don't you
carry on the defense if you call it that",
things like that. No we harassed the
Judge, you&eright...we gave him five
years in prison, youze right.
Might it....
The Judge is a millionaire we zave...we
sentenced him to die in the Drakes Tower
Hotel. He eats $500 plate dinners for
fund raising events.
Abbie, are we inclined to believe that
the Judge called you derogatory names
before you called him derogatory names?
I mean the first day...
Are you saying that he called you
derogatory names first?
Qn the opening day oi the trial...it
was picking a Jury, it was much like
people like yourself, 1500 people all
spread out...you weren't allowed to
ask them questions, our lawyers weren't
allowed, the Judge asked U18!!! if U118?
could be fair, at that a part or the
audience got up and walked out. They
said they walked out because they heard
them read the indictment and it sounded
like we were already guilty. A black
man raised his hand and said "I don't
