Stuart “Stew” Albert burns a subpoena on the New Haven Green May 21, 1971 that summoned him to appear before a grand jury investigating a conspiracy to bomb banks in New York.
Albert was a prominent Yippie and one-time editor of the Berkley Barb, an alternative California newspaper, who was in New Haven for the murder trial of Panther leaders Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins. Days later after a jury voted 10-2 for acquittal of Huggins and 11-1 for acquittal of Seale, the judge dismissed the case against the two
Albert said the grand jury was an attempt to link him to the bombing at the U.S. Capitol that had taken place March 1, 1971.
The FBI blamed some of the antiwar organizers of the Mayday demonstrations conducted in Washington, D.C. May 1-5 for the blast, specifically Stew Albert, Judy Gumbo and Leslie Bacon.
Bacon was arrested and spirited out of Washington, D.C. where she was held incommunicado for six weeks until her attorneys secured her release after her refusal to testify before a Grand Jury.
The U.S. Court of Appeals later voided contempt charges against her after the government refused to turn over transcripts of illegal wiretaps.
Albert ultimately appeared before the grand jury June 14th along with Walter Teague, James Retherford, Judy Gumbo and Sandra Ward, but all refused to testify.
The so-called Piggy Bank Six were alleged to have plotted to bomb several branches of First National City Bank in Manhattan the previous year.
Albert was also questioned about the Capitol bombing by another grand jury.
Albert, Gumbo and Bacon were not charged in the Capitol bombing and no one was charged in the alleged New York plot either.
In the early 1970s, Albert and Judy Gumbo sued the FBI for planting an illegal wiretap in their house. They won a $20,000 settlement and, in 1978, two FBI supervisors were fired for this action.
Gumbo disclaimed any role for Albert, Bacon and herself and says she was “exultant” when she heard the news, but that they played no part in the bombing.
Weather Underground member Bill Ayers later took credit for the Capitol bombing.
The Weather Underground also planted bombs at the U.S. State Department and at the Pentagon in the Washington, D.C. area as well as dozens of other sites across the U.S. mainly in protest of U.S. actions abroad and hoping to spark a revolutionary upsurge in the U.S.
Their bombs were always preceded by telephoned warnings and the only casualties were three of their own that were killed while make explosives in 1969 in New York City.

I loved this piece by Les Levine, the way it engages the viewer, and I love this picture, 12 speakers playing recorded phone calls. I recorded an audio file of one of the speakers, which unfortunately I lost it. It would have been a nice company to the picture.

C’è un filo rosso che unisce la legge sull’editoria del 2001 alle parole del presidente dell’Antitrust Pitruzzella quindici anni dopo: l’idea che la Rete rappresenti una minaccia. Dall’istituzione del ROC nel 2007 fino ad oggi, si è assistito a una strisciante retorica da parte dei dirigenti politici, spesso ospiti sulla carta stampata e in trasmissioni televisive, che addita il web come luogo di ”prostituzione e auto distruttività”, “aggravante” per la mancanza di sicurezza dei cittadini; dal famigerato emendamento D’Alia , i j’accuse di Gabriella Carlucci, Giorgia Meloni, Ignazio La Russa, Angelino Alfano, e poi Laura Boldrini, il ministro Andrea Orlando in tempi più recenti, passando da lunghe serie di disegni di legge sulle intercettazioni che hanno scatenato contro-manifestazioni con tanto di bavaglio riverberate nel resto del mondo: l’Italia è un paese laboratorio di discussioni colpevoliste a proposito di Internet già prima dei social network. Poi è arrivata la post-verità, un termine che sembra aver convinto la classe dirigente ad accelerare: bisogna metter mano con un intervento pubblico alla “eccessiva libertà” con la quale la gente comune condivide contenuti, si informa, finisce per credere alle bufale che circolano in questi habitat online e che condizionerebbe il corretto svolgersi democratico. Ma è davvero così? E sono migliori le democrazie a basso rumore di fondo di Internet? Ma soprattutto: fra tutte queste proposte ce n’è qualcuna davvero applicabile? Organizzato in collaborazione con Webnews.it.
There is a fil rouge connecting the 2001 law on publishing and the words of the President of the Antitrust Authority, Pitruzzella, fifteen years later: the idea that the Internet is a threat. Since the establishment of the ROC in 2007, a creeping rhetoric has been pursued by political leaders which targets the web as a place of “prostitution and self-destructiveness,” aggravating the lack of citizens’ security; from the notorious D’Alia Amendment to a long series of draft laws on wiretapping. Then came so-called post-truth, a notion that seems to have convinced the establishment of the need to speed up: with a new law, they want to tackle the “excessive freedom” with which citizens share content and inform themselves, and in consequence end up believing hoaxes circulating online. But this proposed law would affect the proper conduct of democratic processes. Furthermore, are democracies really better off when the Internet noise is left low in the background? And above all, are the proposed measures really the right ones?

I had several photo's in my archive for stupidity, but I thought I would wait it out and see if something happened during the month. Well my waiting paid off. For those of you that have no idea who this is, He is Elliot Spitzer, former governor of New York State as of last week. He resigned on march 12th after admitting to using a prostitution ring 8 times in the past 8 months totalling up a bill around $80,000. Everything he did was caught on a federal wiretap. The whole story can be found here:

Submitted for January's THC # 5 - Juggling Fool - Apparently it's pretty difficult for the fool to juggle his work, family, and his hooker.

It is worth noting at the outset that if Mr. Brown Pelican doesn't like it here, then perhaps he should go elsewhere. Did you know that some lethargic oligarchs want to help Mr. Pelican wiretap all of our telephones and computers? Mr. Pelican is like a pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don't like; they poo on people they don't even know. The only real difference between Mr. Pelican and a pigeon is that Mr. Pelican intends to sully a profession that's already held in low esteem. Don't trust him, though; he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Before you know it, he'll condone illegal activities. Not only that, but Mr. Pelican has the nerve to call those of us who say "no" to his predaceous hatchet jobs "conspiracy theorists". No, we're "conspiracy revealers" because we reveal that Mr. Pelican is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside himself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of his wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees.
Mr. Pelican keeps telling everyone within earshot that genocide, slavery, racism, and the systematic oppression, degradation, and exploitation of most of the world's people are all entirely justified. I have to wonder about him. Is he utterly insincere? Is he simply being grumpy? Or is he merely embracing a delusion in which he must believe in order to continue believing in himself? The complete answer to that question is a long, sad story. But there is a further-reaching implication: He is known for walking into crowded rooms and telling everyone there that individual worth is defined by race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. Try, if you can, to concoct a statement better calculated to show how caustic Mr. Pelican is. You can't do it. Not only that, but we are observing the change in our society's philosophy and values from freedom and justice to corruption, decay, cynicism, and injustice. All of these "values" are artistically incorporated in one person: Mr. Brown Pelican.
The front page of the Washington Post May 19, 1972 reporting on the bomb that exploded in the Pentagon protesting the U.S. role in Vietnam.
The reporting is muted compared to the bombing of the Capitol a year earlier.
Shortly before the blast, the Washington Post and New York Times received a call from a man identifying himself as a “Weatherman” and warning of the bomb at the Pentagon.
A later communiqué from the group noted the date was the birthday of the Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh and declared resistance to the war in Vietnam.
The investigation and pending charges were later dropped against Weather Underground members due to the U.S. refusal to disclose wiretapping sources. Bill Ayers, a fugitive at the time of the bombing, later claimed he was a participant in the Pentagon bombing.
The blast destroyed the women’s restroom and caused water damage to computers and property in the rooms below.

Sneak inside my bedroom Brother
Put me on your lists
Watch me while I’m sleeping Brother
Help me keep my wits
Spy on my seclusion Brother
Tape record my scorn
Wiretap my movements Brother
Catalog my porn
Eavesdrop on my protests Brother
Debase me in your data
Analyze my sperm count Brother
Sterilize me later
Catch me in your crosshairs Brother
Brand my critiques treason
Categorize my distaste Brother
Pretend you need a reason
Bathe me in your mistrust Brother
Fear my supposition
Paranoid my passions Brother
Terrorize my suspicion

The front page of the Washington Post March 2, 1971 reports on a bomb placed in a U.S. Capitol restroom on the Senate side by the Weather Underground protesting the continued war in Indochina.
Two grand jury probes were launched that targeted activists that organized the Mayday protests in May 1971 that attempted to shut down the U.S. government through non-violent civil disobedience.
The investigation and pending charges were later dropped against Weather Underground members due to the U.S. refusal to disclose wiretapping sources.
