I have been a revolutionary for much of my life.

The war against the Black Liberation movement by the FBI/U.S. government was most influential for me in seeing the necessity for armed self-defense.

First as a peace activist in the late '60s, then as a political activist in the '70s, and then in joining the armed clandestine resistance movement that was developing in the '80s, I am guilty of revolutionary and anti-imperialist resistance.

The use of violence by individuals... is not a position that I support or would ever want to be in again.

We are revolutionary anti-imperialist resistance fighters.

I believed that one had to stop the machinery of war.

The U.S. government does not recognize the existence of political prisoners in our country. The identity of political prisoners is concealed and, consequently, their right to justice is denied.

The high security is living death.

We are innocent. We are not criminals or terrorists. We are revolutionary guerillas and have been captured in the course of building a resistance to this government.

I have a political view that is certainly progressive and radical in a certain sense.
