Dr. Doom And The Great Bombcrater Caper!

Dr. DOOM and the GREAT BOMB/CRATER CAPER!

38 Rainbow Brothers and Sisters of the Community Bomb Crater Squad, "the .38 Special," are charged in Ann Arbor District Court with "malicious destruction of property". The .38 Special are charged with 'maliciously' digging a bomb crater on University property on June 17, 1972. The crater happening on June 17 was the second such dig, the first happened on May 19, the birthday of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh (at that time 4 people were arrested and charged with malicious destruction of property) but the Community Crater Squad was infuriated that they too were not honored with being charged, so the June 17 dig happened so more people could participate in this harmless, peaceful protest.

The bomb craters serve a dual purpose, to serve as continual reminders of the malicious destruction of people and property suffered by the people of Indochina at the hands of the United States Air War. The craters also focus on the extensive war research and death delivering devices developed by Dr. Doom and the Office of Doomsday Development, or War Research Laboratories, or Defense Research and Engineering, or Radar and Optics Laboratory, or the Institute of Science and Technology. Whichever you choose to call it, it still spells DEATH.

That the University would date to charge 38 individuals with 'malicious destruction of property' shows the contempt they hold for the people's intelligence. That they would dare to equate digging bomb craters with destruction of property, after the University develops 'smart bombs', TV bombs, infrared tracking devices and other technology of destruction, shows the absolute perversion and decadence of the University.

John Foster, Director of Defense Research and Engineering for the Department of Defense (Doom) says, ". . . the University of Michigan has been continually in the forefront of research, making important contributions to new developments and to the state-of-the-art in these areas. Specific contributions have been made in the principles and design of synthetic aperture and high resolution radars to an understanding of infrared sources and receivers for detection of selected targets and for general surveillance of terrain of interest. These contributions have been invaluable in research leading to systems and equipment for battle field surveillance and target acquisition. . .In the area of battle field surveillance we are concentrating on exploiting the remote sensor developments of the war in Southeast Asia to give us an altogether new combat capability based on the concept of an 'instrumented battlefield."

So as Richard the Pig Hearted withdraws troops from Vietnam, gadgets, buttons and technology replace men. The death rate of the 'enemy' remains stable as the death rate of the Amerikans decline in a feeble attempt to make the war less than it is, the genocidal slaughter of a proud and independence loving people. If the ".38 Special" are guilty of 'malicious destruction of property' then what is the United States Government and the University of Michigan guilty of?

"Infrared is particularly useful in providing data that can be used to locate an enemy's position, to estimate his numbers, and to detect his movements. Movement or activity. whether of bodies or vehicles, generates extra heat: thus, an infrared scanner carried by an airplane can gather a surprisingly large amount of information of enemy maneuvers," said the U of M Research News of February, 1968.

That Amerika, the most powerful nation on earth, would turn its vast technological resources against a poor and backward country, that they would unleash science fiction nightmares on a peaceful rice eating people, that the national energy is channeled to push button death, points to the unholy alliance between the University and US Octopus Imperialism. Now we have fart sniffers, sweat smellers, 'smart bombs', TV bombs, and electronic ears. That the University and the International robber barons dare to utter the words 'malicious destruction of property' is a tragic comedy capable only of a demented mind.

Meanwhile, a 80 or 100 caliber crater was dug in the front yard of the headquarters of the Rainbow People's Party in Ann Arbor. 80 or 100 people gathered on July 4 1972 to dig the crater. The crater will remain until all US men and material withdraw, and financial aid to puppet politicians in Vietnam ends. As Amerika celebrated her struggle for Independence, the Ann Arbor Rainbow People celebrated the struggle for independence of the Indochinese people. When Vietnam is independent the bomb crater will become a People's Victory Garden as a tribute to the life and beauty of the struggling people.

"The .38 Special" will be going to preliminary examination on August 7 and August 15. Their defense is that they did not maliciously destroy property, that it is in fact the University that destroys property and lives, that it is not the ".38 special" that is on trial but the University.

"The people underwent another war-the air war,. They learned another form of civilization-the holes. We dug day and night, the planes bombed day and night. Our village was filled with bomb craters, the land was made barren. I grieved very much to see my village in ruins, my animals vanished, my crops destroyed...Each day, news came about such and such a village being bombed, more and more deaths and wounded. . ." Is how a Laotian refugee described it in the Washington Monthly in July of 1970.
