Uploaded a while back but a really great 1981 Fall curio has surfaced, namely a much visually better clip of "Totally Wired" from _A Part Of America Therein_ and the _Perverted By Language Bis_ VHS and subsequent reissues. I'll put the description of how this was found/prepared in a second post.

In the late 1980s Washington, DC punks started protesting outside the South African Embassy, encouraging people to bring instruments to make as much noise as possible, and just annoy the shit out of the Apartheid slobs inside. A long and glorious tradition of this sort of thing.

Free Palestine always 🇵🇸
Instagram post from Bob Vylan NOT THE FIRST. NOT THE LAST. TODAY, A GOOD MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE A PUNK BAND IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO WORLD PEACE. LAST WEEK IT WAS A PALESTINE PRESSURE GROUP, THE WEEK BEFORE THAT IT WAS ANOTHER BAND. WE ARE NOT FOR THE DEATH OF JEWS, ARABS OR ANY OTHER RACE OR GRO UP OF PEOPLE. WE ARE FOR THE DISMANTLING OF A VIOLENT MILITARY MACHINE. A MACHINE WHOSE OWN SOLDIERS WERE TOLD TO USE 'UNNECESSARY LETHAL FORCE' AGAINST INNOCENT CIVILIANS WAITING FOR AID. A MACHINE THAT HAS DESTROYED MUCH OF GAZA. WE, LIKE THOSE IN THE SPOTLIGHT BEFORE US, ARE NOT THE STORY. WE ARE A DISTRACTION FROM THE STORY. AND WHATEVER SANCTIONS WE RECEIVE WILL BE A DISTRACTION. THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT US TO ASK WHY THEY REMAIN SILENT IN THE FACE OF THIS ATROCITY? TO ASK WHY THEY AREN'T DOING MORE TO STOP THE KILLING? TO FEED THE STARVING? THE MORE TIME THEY TALK ABOUT BOB VYLAN, THE LESS TIME THEY SPEND ANSWERING FOR THEIR CRIMINAL INACTION. WE ARE BEING TARGETED FOR SPEAKING UP. WE ARE NOT THE FIRST. WE WILL NOT BE THE LAST. AND IF YOU CARE FOR THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH, WE URGE YOU TO SPEAK UP, TOO. FREE PALESTINE.
