I have loved you, how very much I have tried my best to give you the good life. In spite of all that I’ve tried, a handful of our people, with their lies, have made our life impossible. There’s no way to detach ourselves from what’s happened today. Not only– We’re in a compound situation, not only are there those who have left and committed the betrayal of the century, some have stolen children from others and then seek right now to kill them because they stole their children, and we are sitting here waiting on a powder keg. I don’t think it is what we want to do with our babies. I don’t think that’s what we had in mind to do with our babies. It was said by the greatest of prophets, from time immemorial, “No man takes my life from me, I lay my life down.”

We’ve been so betrayed, we have been so terribly betrayed, but we’ve tried, and as Jack Beam often said (and I don’t know where he’s at right this moment, poor Jack), he says if it’s only worked one day, it was worthwhile …
Tired of people’s lives in my hands and I certainly don’t want your life in my hands and I’m going to tell you, Christine, without me, life has no meaning. … I’m the best friend you’ll ever have. And once, once I have to pay, I’m standing with Jjara, I’m standing with those people. They’re part of me. I could detach myself … my attorney says detach myself … no, no, no, no, no, no … I’d never detach myself from any of your troubles. I’ve always taken your troubles right on my shoulders and I’m not gonna change that now. It’s too late. I’ve been running too long. Not gonna change now. … Maybe the next time you’ll get to go to Russia … the next time ’round … This is, what I’m talking about to now is in the dispensation of judgment. This is the revolutionary … this is revolutionary suicide council, I’m not talking about self, self-destruction. I’m talking about what, we have no other road. I will take your call. We will put it to the Russians, and I can tell you the answer now, because I’m a prophet. Call the Russians and tell them and see if they’ll take us.
I tried to give it to you. I’ve laid down my life, practically, I’ve practically died every day to give you peace … and you still not have any peace. You look better than I’ve seen you in a long while, but it’s still not the kind of peace that I want to give you.
We win, we win when we go down.

Unidentified Woman: At one time I felt just like Christine felt. But after today I don’t feel anything because the biggest majority of the people that left here were white and I know it really hurt my heart because …
Jones: Broke your heart, didn’t it?
Unidentified Woman: It broke my heart to think that all of these years that the white people have been with us and they’re not a part of us. So we might as well end it now because I don’t see …
Unidentified Man: Quit talking, the Congressman has been murdered … (pause)
Singing and music
Unknown voice in background: It’s all over …
Jones: It’s all over, all over … what a legacy, what a legacy. But the Red Brigade’s the only one that’s ever made any sense anyway. They invaded our privacy, they came into our home, they followed us 6,000 miles away. The Red Brigade showed them justice, the Congressman’s dead … please get us some medication. It’s simple, it’s simple, there’s no convulsions with it, it’s just simple, just please get it before it’s too late. The GDF will be here. I tell you get moving, get moving, get moving …
Voice in background: No, no, no, no …
Jones: Don’t be afraid to die … if these people land out here, they’ll torture some of our children here. They’ll torture our people, they’ll torture our seniors. We cannot have this.

Please, please. Can we hasten, can we hasten with that medication. You don’t know what you’ve done …
Please … for God’s sake, let’s get on with that we’ve lived … we’ve lived as no other people have lived and loved. We’ve had as much of this world that you’re gonna get. Let’s just be done with it. Let’s be done with the agony of it … It’s far, far harder to have to watch you every day die slowly and from the time you were a child to the time you get gray you’re dying. … dishonest and I’m sure that they’ll pay for it, they’ll pay for it. This is a revolutionary suicide. This is not a self-destructive suicide. So they’ll pay for this. They brought this upon us and they’ll pay for that. I leave that destiny to them.
…who wants to go with their child has a right to go with their child. I think it’s humane. I wanna go … I want to see you go, though. They can take me and do with me whatever they want to do. I wanta see you go. I don’t wanna see you go through this hell no more. No more, no more, no more.
We had nothing we could do, we can’t, we can’t separate ourselves from our own people. (pause, children crying in background) … For twenty years laying in some old rotten nursing home, taken us through all these anguished years. They took us and put us in chains and that’s nothing. there’s no comparison to that, to this. They’ve robbed us of our land, and they’ve taken us and driven us until we tried to find ourselves … we tried to find a new beginning, but it’s too late. You can’t separate yourself from your brother and your sister. No way I’m gonna do it. I refuse. I don’t know who fired the shot, I don’t know who killed the Congressman. But as far as I’m concerned, I killed him. You understand what I’m saying? I killed him. He had no business coming. I told him not to come. … (long pause) … die with respect, die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity. Don’t lay down with tears and agony. It’s nothing to death, just like Max said. It’s just stepping over into another plane. Don’t, don’t be this way. Stop this hysterics… This is not the way for people who are socialistic Communists to die … no way for us to die. We must die with some dignity …
All that’s, let me – All they’re doing is taking a drink, that takes, to go to sleep … That’s what death is, sleep … I know, but I’m tired of it all.
… Must trust, you have to step across … We used to sing: “this world, this world’s not our home.” Well, it sure isn’t. … We were saying, it sure wasn’t … Really doesn’t want, you’re telling me. All he’s doing is what we’ll tell him. Assure these … Can some people assure these children of the relaxation of stepping over to the next plane? That’d set an example for others. You set 1,000 people who say, “We don’t like the way the world is ….
… take our life from us, we laid it down, we got tired. We didn’t commit suicide. We committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world.
