American Anarchist Page #3

some of them came from manuals.

Others, I drew myself.

I took about three and a half,

maybe four months to write it.

I wrote it in solitude.

No one read the manuscript

before it went to the publisher.

So your goal was what?

To take what the military had,

and what other

radical groups had,

and put it into

the common domain

so that it was

accessible to everyone.

Violent groups...

the Weathermen being one,

the government being another...

have access

to this information.

And are using it.

Therefore, why shouldn't

the rest of us

also have that information?

And I still

sort of question that.

That paradox.

Who controls the information?

I mean, whose hands

should it be in?

I mean, I'm told

that the book has a million, half,

two million copies in print.

I have no idea, really,

what the vast majority of those

people have done with the book.

I suspect very, very few

have read it cover to cover.

And I suspect even fewer

have actually

read these passages.

I think people are

drawn to the recipes.

Really, you don't

think people are drawn in

by your perspective

and your voice and inspired?

Um... I guess,

other people would be better

judges of that than I am.

I'm not inspired by it.

"I feel very strongly that

every person should be armed

"and that he or she should

be prepared for the worst.

"There's no justice

left in the system.

"The only real justice is

"that which the individual

creates themself,

"and the individual

is helpless without a gun.

"This may sound like

the dogma expounded

"by radical right-wing groups

like the Minutemen, it is.

"The time has passed

for demonstrations

"and pseudo revolutionaries and

students to occupy the political scene.

"The time is

for a mass uprising,

"armed with single-minded

deadly intolerance."

Yeah, well, it's, um...

it's over-the-top

exaggerated rhetoric.

Um...

Yeah.

"This chapter is going to kill and maim

more people than all the rest put together

"because people just refuse

to take things seriously."

"Explosives, if used with care

"and all

the necessary precautions,

"are one of the greatest tools

"any liberation

movement can have.

"It will confuse the enemy,

cause destruction and death

"with power and

the technology of the people."

But language

about maiming people does seem

that you are aware

that the book will be used

to commit acts of violence?

I think...

Um...

I think I'm aware

that there is certainly

that possibility.

I think that's in...

That's inherent

in the three paragraphs

that I've just read.

Um...

"Allow the fear, and the

loneliness, and the hatred

"to build up inside you,

"allow your

passions to fertilize
