John Henry Faulk; Speech - From Where I Don't Know

the plan well in dublin lowry is you know that's got a bit of love of lead that they put their lawyers to defend him and quite honestly that only two of the defending many of these defendants so far though the government has answered yet two lawyers were two government lawyers educators and as i say interesting will not said yes as an animator the admitted to the charges is about i think about forty seven charges a minute til on our nation to give limited tillman says the law and the courts have not dismissed the case with very interesting that we thought wouldn't it be a lot of fighting to get into court with them the myth yeti the southern district court a federal court of new york show that italy or at where fire yesterday

yemeni the famine well they said that they're not going to count as long shadow the only non international pressure the boat ashore but but gauging from ticks president run of luck that say we don't know yet what the nba replay that now by unilever is eleanor i'd raise a roll these days mair notices at no that mr george he's got upset about is the uncertainty and it won't give him his tapes ok will he is named a defendant will what legally he can do to get out of the most important thing is the cia and the fbi is lucy and their files are demanding their records of this montana got away with this and almost overnight last thirty one might've because done so much damage to the reputation of national security threat that the chances of success and saying the father very very great no

no no no they allege another thanks to keep the lawyers busy for the next fifteen years you are saying it's far say about mock abrupt brief up at about their faith they allege that in certain sensors and in los angeles a firebomb offices of this article the plaintiffs in the hit another place they won the most brilliant the allegations is that a little sixteen year old high school girl in new jersey right paper so she writes an hour on all political dissent iraq's political minority party's a shotgun she writes to the science writer gary braun so she's worked for so she writes to the socialist workers or hiv or survey finds out the dress she writes to them in new york and at a noise sounds alison wonderland or here comes the fbi outdoors to i got barely a check with the principal and they demanded she be

brought to the healthiest interrogator on what that she was going on she retired pre send me any information on your eyes got it done they'll be abu salaries you and me pay incidentally we've you know we support and here they'll come out and actually it's the last group will press pool that made them little girls then he got madder and literally not matter the matzo least i think they sued the fbi that john is that the socialist workers party and this lawsuit would you say you tell the american people a few instances like this let them find out really what this government has been up to study the excesses and viciousness are cruel course we've monument been revealed in the watergate thing that you call the country not enough yet but of appalled at the rate most thoughtful americans have been persistent but i would call your attention to another fact that they see it bix next administration has been steadily jumping group you know

and as chicago seven trial and a berrigan was never brought to supplement water kidnapping kissinger i wish then it had been the best at it it would've it would've done more to teach them not good man spokesman dave davis it would energize for weeks they were going to do that and the veterans against the war and yet vietnam veterans guess warned vietnam they call them engrossed in a hundred and forty thousand dollars defense up in each case the government is lost in the people he won and in this case i think we have a very good chance of victory to very exciting thing and when i say we i'm clued i'm speaking using the first persian pope to include the people of this country oppose the predicted the plaintiffs in this suit oh the bold soles of their nerve to wade out in and challenge but the causes a culture of one of those

charges are they run on as a site forty seven charges against a big barn you know we will have established that the invasion of privacy the persecution of people for their political beliefs is not acceptable to the american people that we do adhere to the most important all that we adhere to the constitutional guarantees of our freedom we have time and again suede you know golf a tangent in history in this country and his earliest seventeen ninety eight this additional you know rest and once people got a good smell of that they vomited it out liam sedation alternate they never were beginning cuts expire nonsense until nineteen eighty one billion dollars additional we called espionage see when

i started liking make an espionage lilies of their repressive at youth oriented as divisive in jail on thunder turn from one of love and loss of a thorn on it i'm not sure i understand the thrust of the question because if you don't understand the meaning of you know what free speech really mean still people want the right to assemble with who you damn well please not have to worry about as they did when at this so two months ago wey impeachment ratted out in helena bp's in the unknown secrets are subject taking pictures of american citizens this is a chilling and fishes violation of the american citizens right to peacefully assemble and two through here a year a discussion

of problems that that are on their minds this is a vicious and unheard of and a scandalous violation of the first amendment their first amendment rights as far as i'm concerned if we take it for granted that they can build these guys a big bulky guys run former maryland man with no the ferrets on capital to figure about that they thought that that movie oka and patriotic thing that we spoke to have all their names only and in a computer up in washington but it come to impeachment wrote this his cabinet one of france's would come to accept that my god is a way of american life whereas when i was a little boy like that the shotgun went off pieces and it should fall ago much of fall that nixon should be impeached for that alone for lab equipment they don't want to allow to harry truman landed at mr matt kennedy a latin and johnson lab

mckinnon a lot going for it but the damn will elaborate quietly with their own road to watergate the lead to five years we just rather than a shia itself yet you are in the afterlife if dick nixon said i've got a right to applaud group a private vigil op has to go beyond the law all american people port's known ones inside the impeachment proceedings a long one can decide their myspace desert zone ramadan we have his impeachment is that the right of the chief executive now and that's what the that's what impeachment proceedings will decide he asserts that is his right to be invaluable in violating an invalid constitution is that i've got a right to call up the judge and seven in a

case known vitally interested in the loss to come out one way a certain as is right now we've got the sabbath like leachman as absolutely as a state its absolute absolute necessity draw those issues inside with american people is supported or not they face for nick always had a he had not sell essentially fan magazine would drop this lawsuit that little girl it means american people don't board that their constitution or traditional freedom as their their fathers passed down to god has no tellin what that male couple that you've got a right price it's absolute sacred rider american citizen and it just feels terrible curtain here to violate except when he was a no for somebody that loves of silent majority as much as he

did and never heard of in one that tries to find out what the tale of santa is the head with both suits and i kept a lot of the awful in my nap ideally also what was on that at magnitude secret plate they got lulled that happened be an inside man like mr senator he's got a and i got there i got the information on the salt transcript is on june twentieth that bob haldeman called nick and the same as president you got in my land i am an artist richard you know on poor man bob i don't have no money oh mate you heard the pitch plain taco and they said well but their last twenty years ago i said yes but did you see my less income tax reports on god oh the nutcracker nothing and now

solomon said well what about bibi at a dingy capital that poll of values for some money here la backer note be beaten victor yun thousand hours artillery and the babies die he will be an arms of a latino and delicious and then get back out what's your sense that makes the autumn game in an art you've played values always give them a hundred thousand dollars and he keeps to three years in a box in his back now arts norman so blown away man and no comeback in the stands penn out shaking my trio the country and some of it coming down an archaic good untraceable cash i'm a big trivia i'm about to openly get three hundred thousand are like a show them the one trait that set bob willamette hell you need three hundred thousand are far music with this present you know those guys they picked up the democratic national headquarters of days rocco

was old catalog money to keep quiet wouldn't shut their mouths with a cover this sign up its nonpartisan least three hundred thousand dollars to start and it is slow up on foreign founder bob built your top deck at me like it was dumbfounded that day you mention cover a bunch of what the government ej you know going well if you do to leave and i'm not gloating or fine we're about to cover up until next march twenty first thought would settle well it's inoperative the question was an operative forget it said that by when as president what if somebody gets hold of the tape of that conversation gordon said bobby you know you ought to be ashamed of yourself as a lawyer americans want low opinion you have american people want a decent taxpaying respectable american citizens would stoop so low as to imagine the president of the united states would book is owned telephone that that's why they lost the

well any other questions but yesterday there's bees london have demonstrated about lawsuits at all imagined but the lawsuit itself will promote headlines ago he was a call one another hand for instance it certainly provoked i'm in new york when the government founded centers and so yeah we have been doing that we thought we were supposed to start of ran right through to plague in devil in an m harris the public demands you know the fbi just had to cough up this directive from j edgar hoover in nineteen sixty eight nineteen sixty nine directed directing them deliberately to harris this group do it

too to use all of the all of the efforts of our government our government aid agency two to destroy this to these people's right to hold their beliefs to publish their beliefs and to preach their beliefs says that was rather shocking thing i think this lawsuit will bring that into sharp focus what happened and know that in gainesville case the jury of quail ordinary good decent american citizens from florida for god's sake sat there have been so many cases his face just you know literally threw the case out of court they they found and the government remember had millions of dollars and i'll grant paid infomercial in and hired hands after the judge was on their second report offenders the family that of the us war in vietnam war veterans in them a n n and literally fighting the united

states come at this as exciting thing and they won and one by the brilliance of their counsel and buy their own home decency and tenacity it was an inspiring thing like this has prevailed this time and i think in this case current case we're talking about remember in that case the vietnam veterans were defendants were having to defend themselves against false charges which is a very difficult thing to do especially when you are too large to come in part to themselves and know that they stand in no danger a prosecution for perjury in this case the plaintiff's are carrying so that makes it very different than the case you can really go after a nip and tuck him and i have a feeling that the american people will be a much better informed people in much much more conscious of their rights in the importance of their rights when these cases over yes the jaw hear that observation cause it was a very

cogent one moment go out that what would be the effects on the general community if how we feel the effects in everyday american citizen if this it will wind and asked the mormon bomb around to little startled by the question and i'm going to put the fakes because sadness gentleman just said the best thing do is turn that question around and say what will be the effects on our american society if this suit is lost if the court ruled that the government indeed does have a right to harry's minority groups and unpopular opinions in our society welby affect our constitution is we lived under of all these two hundred years the constitution certain they'll writes the first amendment the genius the very essence of it and the beauty of it is that it with equal force protects those ideas that we cherish and declared be our most

valued american traditions as well as those it equally projects those that we loathe and despise consider the antithesis of everything that we believe in and that's very well put what happens if the plaintiffs lose the suit which one of you will be safe if he was thanking the people in ottawa thanks a hero ever lace mill valley water and their own freedoms were quoted unlike much never say among the ring gerald of el paso flat back in the cage work a chorale a number of taxi to find safety in and she don't wanna be a violent place of it i don't like to think of ourselves as she's also run some normal as a group of ring turtle those in the society we come to fore in the chief too much well present i had a much simpler case in new york about along the same lines or at a really the

same issues were involved remove the chin freedom of association and it took seven years to get into court i don't mean to suggest that it's gonna take islam but i was the plaintiff in this lawsuit head and the group that i was still it was a group called aware incorporated in these two individual who had become they were a private vigilante group that brave in hollywood and new york on the house that time in radio and a radio television in new york and maybe they decided who was sufficiently low yield citizen to two to perform in radio and television are right for them are direct or produce children network radio television and awesome and incidentally the engine enough air much like the start of this do that but still reward ever she can do nothing about it would it would prevail and i was thrown an eight million dollar judgment against them all which are karen mok that

talking you know basically they nothing that has more therapeutic effect on you and have a jury walk in a match against one in a billion dollar judgment y'all wanna wanna wanna tell our finances since then i didn't get the money but that reputation for head and then say nothing tackle aids care kin folks would like airline saying it just wonder in a million dollars and i lead a small town america is offering to help me spend it on any advice is still sold yes it well actually i was the very soul of sweetness in the nixon liking was

up at cbs cbs as i used to teach at university of texas in english before which a dvr body of how hard up they were for teachers in them days and then the cbs took me up to me on the day after i got out of the army and forty six and nine was to be awful political humorist and the mccarthy period came down and so i just became awful and now but made latham i say nothing which i guess i have in large part to my not made a lot of money but said nothing but at any rate i was so we have in the yemen chapman told gotten out there but we all had well didn't miss mccarthy period had unsettled out all the land like a beep stage and a great silence of far across every area of american life but in the radio and television and theater actor area which operated in new york and hollywood they had grown up proliferating all over the country as i mention a moment goes one in austin these self appointed vigilante groups

decide who could teach ins who preach and spin pulpits ooh good the elected office who couldn't and in this instance you could perform on radio network radio and television and good and we all had to belong to a union hall after the american federation of radio and television artist only poor performers have belonged to close shop and oblong but american union named but it became such a scandal so many people became blacklisted simply about expressing an opinion are having expressed opinion or sanitation ten years before that where would range up and the group is that by the way it is not a group called aware it was a it was a group due to combat the commonest conspiracy in the radio and television industry which resumes to find someone of this a common conspiracy a number two that they are proper out that combat and accepted me one of premises incident but the way to combat it was about publishing the names oh a performer signers dieters

announcers newscasters writers producers and one associate with network television and looked at every two weeks and sending them to the network executives and jeremy the agency executive of advertising agency directors and the sponsors and demanding each person to be dropped it or common is conspiracy never called in confronting sin is as true or false these allegations did you come out a subway fifty second street medicine ambien well paced the daily worker on newsstands asked that maybe you never asked it asked whether it's true of all of us have to drop a great great hall of the year rolled across this land where our finest newsman the finest finest the spill representatives in congress get the mouse tradition only issue so you you

are is a sigh you were called in which you were given an option to declare yourself if you're directed five europe biro your age you could find that you have been but you were on the list she were on the blacklist you were blacklisted then he could go to where incidentally up around sa body and this is the hour in good conscience it was a subversive aig song star spangled banner at madison square garden if you defy them in any way if you didn't show to a completely work after a maine completely out completely ashamed in may apple bomb apple but didn't get off but they also charge the networks and that agency is huge retain a freeze they would do this job for him they would check backgrounds of each person that applied for work that was on the networks with forming a network television radio live check to check their backgrounds for fi and so nbc cbs abc all paid up most of the big advertising age has paid of nowhere ten thousand

twenty thousand dollars a year who checklist of an ancient perception that they couldn't make by name you might not ever know what you just did work again and this of course resulted in very long blacklisted part of their long list of person who could not find employment it became a huge scandal up there but one that was never discussed that lab let you get on the blacklist to that you gave credibility will in the union you think that their union sole purpose of fear that they'd used it was to protect members from such scandalous an outrageous treatment is this would turn up and we checked into it the union board of directors were all members of the board directors aware they're working hand in glove with so i ran in the union during a collingwood an argentine iran against him air more and would be and so that may jump that gently road jack was all but the boys made peace i did last super active him in court and won the

case and also broke a blacklist is no longer it at that with one wants a jury came in with her in a million dollar decision it spall the network's appetite for collaborating with blacklist is thank you all very very much the point
