democracy, they are clearly continuing to follow an agenda to undermine the United States.
The riots could be racially motivated. Percy E. Sutton, a former Borough President of
Manhattan in New York City, who is Black, said in his keynote address before the National
Conference of Anti-Poverty Agencies at Columbia University’s Teachers College on February
22, 1968, that there was a plan to use thousands of Black Veterans from the Vietnam War to
wage war on Whites. He said: “I am afraid that the greatest battle of the era– of the Vietnam
War– will not be fought in the demilitarized zone north of Da Nang, but will be fought in the
streets of America.” In April and May of 1992, after four policemen were acquitted in the
beating of a Black man, Rodney King, massive riots swept across south-central Los Angeles, and
the military had to be sent in to restore order. It was reported that 600 buildings were burned, and
52 people killed. Damage estimates ran as high as $1 billion. Incidents were also reported in
Atlanta, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Miami, and Seattle. Even though the Blacks in this country
have achieved quite a bit in the past 30 years, the fight against oppression has hardened them,
and has created a generation that thinks nothing of using the political power of violence and
demonstration to make their views known. This powder keg could be ignited again in the future,
on a wider scale, in order to create a nationwide crisis.
The riots could be radically motivated. Jerry Rubin, who was a member of the Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS) at Kent State University, said on July 20, 1970: “The first part of the
Yippie program is to kill your parents. And I mean that quite literally, because until you’re
prepared to kill your parents, you’re not ready to change the country. Our parents are our first
oppressors.” In his book Do It, he wrote:
“We’ve got Amerika (sic) on the run. We’ve combined youth, music, sex, drugs,
rebellion with treason– and that’s a combination hard to beat ... High school students will
seize radio, TV, and newspaper offices across the land ... Police stations will blow up ...
Revolutionaries will break into jails and free all prisoners ... The Youth International
Revolution will begin with mass breakdown of authority, mass rebellion, total anarchy in
every institution in the Western World...”
Jerry Kirk, a student at the University of Chicago, who was active in the Communist Party up
to 1969, told the House and Senate Internal Security Committees:
“Young people have no conception of the conspiracy’s strategy of pressure from above
and pressure from below, so well outlined in Jan Kozak’s And Not A Shot Is Fired. They
have no idea they are playing into the hands of the Establishment they claim to hate. The
radicals think they are fighting the forces of the super-rich, like Rockefeller and Ford, and
don’t realize that it is precisely such forces which are behind their own revolution,
financing it, and using it for their own purposes.”
In his book, The Strawberry Statement: Notes of a College Revolutionary, James S. Kunen
(who in April, 1968, was one of the students who took over Columbia University) wrote:
“In the evening we went up to the U. to check out a strategy meeting. A kid was giving a
report on the SDS Convention. He said that ... at the Convention men from Business
International Roundtables ... tried to buy up a few radicals ... These men are the world’s
leading industrialists and they convene to decide how our lives are going to go. These are
