        I made the following transcript from a tape recording 
        of a broadcast by Pacifica Radio station
               WBAI-FM (99.5)
               505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl.
               New York, NY 10018       (212) 279-0707

ROBERT KNIGHT:
Well, there is another kind of product that is just as powerful
and just as deadly to the indigenous community. One application --
just very broadly speaking as a former systems analyst myself --
is that tracking software can easily be modified, in terms of the
attributes of description, so that instead of federal cases in 
the United States, it can be used to track the activities and to
keep a centralized log of the repression of individuals -- of 
citizens within a country. Think about Saudi Arabia; a slave state
that did not officially change its laws regarding slavery; the
indentured servitude of migrant workers who come into that country
and become, effectively, the property of the ownership class, and
cannot leave without an exit visa. They belong to somebody else.

Imagine the applications of software like this! Imagine what 
happens to people who don't get their hands stamped at elections
in El Salvador, because not to vote for the pre-selected rightwing
candidates during the mid-1980's was considered by that U.S.-backed
military government as tantamount to treason.

Area code (212) 279-3400.

We're talking about subtle material here, but that which can have
an utterly profound effect on the state of human rights around  
the world. Something that illegally and mysteriously and -- 
through the operations of the National Security Council members, 
Robert McFarlane, the "secret team", Richard Secord, and Ed Messe,  
Ronald Reagan and cronies -- something that starts turning up 
around U.S.-linked repressive governments around the world. And
Iraq is included among them. 

279-3400, area code (212)... If we are revealing to you new 
dimensions of the operations of your government ... This is not
a federal investigation. This is an UNDERCURRENTS investigation.
This is a WBAI investigation. And we're obviously operating at 
the threshold of danger. I say that, not to aggrandize the efforts
of the people at this particular place, but there is the matter 
of the death of Danny Casolaro, implying the importance that people
NOT know that this is going on. 

279-3400 ... If you want to defy, you can defy with your money.
You can defy with your tax-deductible donations to WBAI, and let
us know that we need to do this. Let us know that YOU need to 
know this. We are trying to move the consciousness of this city,
this country, and this world beyond the spy syndrome where only
Robert Gates has a need to know. We're saying that YOU have a
need to know.

I remember, as news director, reporting on how, during the 
elections in El Salvador, the Israelis WERE INVOLVED in tracking
individuals vis-a-vis voting. Were they using this software?
We're going to find out! But it's essential that you help us.

Let's look at the astonishing implications of this use of stolen  
tracking software to keep track of individuals in repressive
governments, linked with the United States around the world,
using software that was stolen from a company that refused to
roll over to Ed Meese and cronies [e.g. President Reagan].

PAUL DeRIENZO:
I can't wait until I can tell people, over-the-air, the address
of that facility in Washington, D.C. where anybody who goes to it
is threatened with death. Maybe we could all go down there.

       This is one of countless stories unveiling the deeply corrupted    
       and subverted state of our theoretically democratic Government.
       This story makes disgustingly obvious the fact that patriotism
       is not the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the 
       supporting of the Government, just because it happens to be ours.
       You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it.
       Patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country
       in order that they may unite to conquer the anti-democratic
       cancer that is gradually destroying ours and our children's
       freedom. So please post the installments of this ongoing series
       to other bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places,
       both on and off campus.  That would be a truly patriotic deed.
