With an advertising budget of less than $200,000, the festival’s organizers—all under the age of 26 and bankrolled by someone’s trust fund—expected, and planned for, around 200,000 people. They were quickly overwhelmed. The flimsy ticket booths couldn’t handle the crowd and, because of the virtually non-existent security, crashers climbed the fence around the concert area, eventually pulling it down. A stage manager, who called himself Chip Monck, served as emcee, and his onstage patter helped keep the crowd calm. He announced, “The people who backed this are going to take a bath, a big bath, and that’s no hype. They decided your welfare is a lot more important than a dollar.” It was now a free concert. Over the sea of people wafted the scent of marijuana, but the Sullivan County police threw up their hands. There weren’t enough cells in the county to hold all the people smoking pot.

By the end of the first day the crowd had grown to 500,000. It dawned on the festival’s organizers and the area’s residents that the situation was potentially dangerous. The medical facilities were inadequate for hundreds of young people struggling with bad trips and the beginnings of a dysentery outbreak. Food and water were running out. To make matters worse, a huge storm turned the entire hillside into a mud pile.

Despite the conditions, and the music dragging hopelessly behind schedule, the audience remained remarkably well-behaved. People shared what little they had with their neighbors and helped people on bad acid trips to the medical tent. Dr. William Abruzzi, in charge of first aid, noted, “There has been no violence whatsoever, which is really remarkable for a crowd of this size. These people are really beautiful.”

“Generation gap” was the buzzword of the day, with the younger set’s language, dress, music, politics, and morals seemingly setting them against their parents. After the violence at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago the year before, many locals were jittery about an “army of freaks” descending on their town. But the gentle demeanor of the young crowd seemed to bridge that gap. One police officer noted, “Notwithstanding their personality, their dress, and their ideas, they were and they are the most courteous, considerate, and well-behaved group of kids I have ever been in contact with.” Area residents, many of whom had been charging for water the day before, let their hoses run and handed out blankets. The Air Force set up a post to airlift people to medical facilities and arranged food drops.

Meanwhile some of the biggest names in rock played on, including the Who, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone, and the Grateful Dead. There were moments of musical transcendence, including Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s performance of “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” at a little after three in the morning on Monday, Joe Cocker’s ecstatic rendition of “With a Little Help From My Friends,” and Joan Baez singing “Joe Hill” to a hushed crowd after dedicating her performance to her husband, who was serving time for refusing the draft. The festival was brought to a close on Monday by Jimi Hendrix, whose hyperintense “Star-Spangled Banner” was played to a nearly empty field as the audience filtered out to search for their cars or seek rides home.

The backers of the festival lost $2 million, but the organizers called it a success because of its peaceful atmosphere. There were two deaths, one from an overdose and one from an accident, and only a handful of arrests, a triumph given the size of the crowd. When asked about the financial shortfall, the producer Michael Lang replied, “Today is a time to think about what happened here—the youth culture came out of the alleys and the streets. This generation was brought together and showed it was beautiful.”

Max Yasgur, the farmer who had rented out his field for the festival, announced from the stage, “I think you people have proven something to the world, not only the town of Bethel or to Sullivan Country, but to the world . . . a half a million kids can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music, and God bless you for it.”

Just how remarkable a feat that was was demonstrated less then a year later, when a free concert at the Altamont Speedway near San Francisco erupted into violence between the audience and the Hell’s Angels who were providing security. One man was stabbed to death. Subsequent Woodstock festivals were dismal affairs with riots, fires, and sexual assaults. It seemed as if the spirit of 1969 evaporated when the last fan squelched off the muddy field.

For the writer Michael P. Tremoglie, the 1969 festival was just a gathering of hypocrites without any political bite. He recently wrote in the conservative magazine Human Events, “The Woodstock audience could not feed themselves, let alone the poor. The Woodstock crowd needed to rely on the very people they spurned—the establishment—to feed them.” For others it was proof that, in the absence of coercion, goodwill and peace and understanding could flourish. The significance of Woodstock as a cultural happening cannot be denied, though is meaning will be puzzled over for years to come. In the words of Michael Bourne, writing for Down Beat, “Surely why all that happened did so is an object of any and all speculation. . . . But no conclusion will be certain, because no one can ever truly estimate all that occurred, just as no single private in a foxhole can estimate the full spectrum of a consequential battle strategy.”

Spirit of Cooperation at The '69 Festival
http://cannabisnews.com/news/thread22062.shtml

I had vowed after Gore's taking a dive that I wouldn't waste my vote on them again. But Kerry knew what Bush was about and that he would attempt to steal the election again. IMO, Kerry's job was to fight that theft. He was supposed to give everything to keep that from happening again. But he didn't. He rolled over and died, just like Gore, and with less excuse than Gore had because Kerry saw it all happen before.

My point was that even Neil had difficulty with this issue at first. Here is where he states it in an interview:

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,1805023,00.html

Why couldn't they have embedded special soldiers to find and catch him without war? We weren't attacked by Afghanistan. We were attacked by people fueled by Bin Laden. Iraq is absolutely a huge mistake. I sure don't believe in third parties. I believe in a definite split between the two major parties. They are not to be friends like Lieberman was with Bush and he lost thank goodness. I can be very conservative and also liberal. Let's make them stand for the dove part of the country not the hawk part of our country. Neil did support what I said basically but not war on people. Even in Greendale he has a No More War on the side of a pretty field made with hay or straw. Justice is important but kill them all doesn't make it with me.

These are extremely important issues indeed.

Max - I too, tend to believe 911 was an inside job. But it is more gut feeling than it is a certainty of having proof in my hand, primarily because it seems the proof depends on having a certain level of scientific knowledge I don't have. So, for me, the biggest obstacle in making the leap from feeling to proof is, where is the hue and cry from the general scientific community? If the proof is incontrivertable, that means the whole scientific community is in on the conspiracy OR scared to death to speak the truth. Either of these concepts is extremely diffiicult to accept.

Another point is this new concept of the "left gate keepers." I agree that the great majority of the Democratic party is just as guilty as the Republicans in bowing to corporate interests. This is a crucial issue all in itself. How has the public allowed the Democratic party to become right wing? We desperately need a third party - which in actuality would be a REAL second party. In essence there really is no substantial left in office at this time.

This being said, I still feel uncomfortable labeling a wide group of dissenters as "left gate keepers." I think the issue is more complex than that. Yes, Goodman should devote more time to the questions of 911. As I also think she should devote more time to drug policy.

After devoting ten years to intense study and dialogue of the issue of marijuana reform, I feel I am well-qualified to speak to it on any and every level. So, I have been greatly concerned that Goodman does not devote much time to this crucial issue that EACH YEAR gives almost 800,000 people an arrest record, imprisons 40,000 plus, causes the deaths of inumerable people in enforcement and other prohibition violence, and, perhaps most significantly, terrorizes the whole country with what amounts to an Inquisition pursuing the 50 million (more or less) U.S. marijuana consumers. With marijuana clearly being non-addictive and much less harmful than alcohol, there is no more clear-cut and vital issue facing this country.

But Goodman mostly ignores it. This has frustrated me so much, that I have tried to contact her many times, but never got a response. So, I went further and submitted their lengthy story proposal which is a highly detailed document, requesting story points, contact information for authoritative persons to interview, and many other details. This required several hours of my time. But when I submitted it, again, I did not even receive a response, other than they had received it and would review it.

All this in mind, it is still difficult for me to absolutely say Goodman is intentionally suppressing news. She has shown tremendous courage in most of the stories she covers. The recent one with John Dean blatantly saying we are facing a Nazi-Germany like fascism movement in the country is a great example.

So, I have to think there may be plausible reasons that Goodman doesn't do in-depth coverage of 911 and marijuana prohibition. Even Neil Young, who I consider as the epitome of truth-to-power public figure, initially supported the war on Iraq. I was surprised at how long it took him to come around to the truth. So, even knowledgeable, public figures are having trouble grappling with these issues. The other point is, as FoM says, Goodman and others may feel they need to focus on the middle east war for strategic purposes. That the American public can handle only so much truth at one time. I don't agree with that, but I can acknowledge that is their motivation without having to say they are intentionally involved in censorship.

But, as you say, these are crucial issues. Someone needs to be discussing them at high levels and in a very public fashion. It's great that we can touch on them here, but the format of this space is not conducive to the intense, long-term struggle with this thorny problem. A forum that does not jump from news article to news article is required - and one that is as highly visible as possible. For this reason, I primarily post at the New York Times Drug Policy Forum. In my experience, there is no more visible platform for public discussion due primarily to the NYT's world popularity.

Amy Goodman, Left Gatekeeper

By Scott Loughrey http://educate-yourself.org/cn/amygoodmangatekeeper27aug05.shtml

August 27, 2005

Originally posted in Fall of 2003

Amy Goodman should be regarded as a Left Gatekeeper (LG). Left Gatekeepers, like the journalists in George Orwell’s 1984, function to promote the official propaganda of the state. They amplify what is not credible while excluding other voices from challenging the government’s lies of the day.

Amy Goodman used to be a hero of mine (http://www.baltimorechronicle.com/media_jun02.html). She was particularly heroic in the 1991 massacre by Indonesian military forces in a Santa Cruz, East Timor graveyard. Her deeds there (along with journalist Alan Nairn’s) are the kinds of events that people would get medals for by the President in a sane world.

However, since 9/11/01 Amy Goodman (and her internet/radio program Democracy Now!) has achieved enormous popularity while continuing to fail to challenge the Bush regime where doing so is most needed. In particular, whenever the topic of terrorism on US soil is brought up on her program she can be counted upon to repeat government propaganda.

By broadcasting the government’s official story of 9-11 Democracy Now! continues to reiterate faulty science. For example, a key component of the Bush regime’s propaganda includes the implication that the number 650 is equal to the number 2000.

If more Democracy-activists were aware that the Bush regime was making this assertion it could galvanize the resistance to it. Still, Amy Goodman and DN! continue to tolerate the lie that the two numbers are equal. To the disgust of a growing number of people DN! refuses to include a guest on her show which disputes this (and similar) scientific point(s) advanced by the government.

Amy’$ Contract Before we delve into the specifics of Amy Goodman’s service to the Bush regime, it should be mentioned that her contract with Pacifica is appalling. I have it from names that would like to remain quiet that the financial relationship between Democracy Now! and Pacifica is costing Pacifica more than million dollars in potential revenue a year. If the arrangement that Amy and Democracy Now! has with Pacifica continues, it could bankrupt Pacifica. Progressives should show support for Pacifica by calling for Amy to restructure her contract.

The Importance of 9-11 Let’s move to the events of September 11, 2001 which have had an enormous impact on the human race. So far the Bush regime has used 911 to launch two wars of aggression against a pair of largely defenseless countries which play a vital role in the distribution of the world’s oil.

Domestically, the Bush regime has used the events of 9/11/01 to install a concentration camp in Cuba. Under the guise of protecting Americans from terrorists, it employed the USA PATRIOT Act to shred the Bill of Rights. It has used 9-11 to disappear thousands of people (i.e., either deporting them or is detaining them indefinitely without charge.)

The Bush regime is also using 9-11 in an attempt to introduce new legal standards which erase centuries of judicial precedents. September 11 is also being featured in the campaign commercials for the Bush regime. Finally, the Republican Convention will be held in New York close to the three-year anniversary of 9/11 to maximize the propaganda benefit of the tragedy. Clearly, 9-11 remains a pivotal instrument for the Bush regime to achieve its goals.

While the Bush regime freely employs 9-11 for all of its attacks on human rights much of the “left” media continues to broadcast the fictional story of what really happened that day. Left Gatekeepers like Democracy Now! continue to validate the official story of 9-11 and prevent any voice from speaking about some of the innumerable anomalies with it.

Democracy Now’s 9-11 “debate”

Last September (9/23/03), Democracy Now! made one of its very rare forays into discussing the events of 9-11. Amy Goodman had on two guests, Peter Lance and Richard Miniter. Amy billed the meeting as a “debate”. Both men are authors and were prominently hawking their recent books. Crucially, neither man contradicted the other much.

During the telecast, Lance and Miniter both agreed with the official story of 9/11/01. To recap: Flights 11 and 175 crash into the World Trade Center. Burning fuel from these planes melts the steel in the North and South Towers. This causes both towers to collapse in relatively tidy footprints.

Later that same day, World Trade Center 7 collapses in its footprint, possibly from fire. (No one with the government has explained WTC 7’s collapse with certainty; i.e., FEMA’s report isn’t conclusive. Meanwhile, the subject of why WTC 7 collapsed has never been discussed on Democracy Now!)

With Amy’s approval, Lance and Miniter eagerly promote the central idea that Al Qaeda was responsible for the complete destruction of buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01.

They accept (without explanation) that Osama bin Laden, the world’s most famous dialysis patient, was the mastermind of the day’s tragic events. The subject of how 650 and 2,000 are completely different numbers never arises in the broadcast.

Democracy Now!’s wretched 9/23/03 broadcast with Lance and Miniter outraged activists around the world. (Someone the author corresponds with now labels DN! as “Disinformation Now!”)

While watching the Lance and Miniter show unravel, I marveled at the skill with which Goodman and Democracy Now! were communicating ideas which originated with the Bush regime. No White House spokesperson could have sold the official story better than Goodman, Lance and Miniter did that day. In addition, since this “debate” was aired, the subject matter is apparently closed for all time on Democracy Now!

Left Gatekeeper 650 = 2000 Amy Goodman needs to allow an articulate guest to appear on her program capable of mentioning that it is impossible for burning jet fuel to have caused the destruction of the North and South towers of the World Trade Center.

Jet fuel is refined kerosene, which burns at about 650 degrees Fahrenheit in the open air. Meanwhile, steel cannot be forged adequately until it is heated up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for a significant amount of time.

Another problem with the idea that burning kerosene melted the steel in the Twin Towers is the fact that that all of the extant documentation from 9-11 reveals black, oxygen-starved fires coming from the North Tower before it collapsed. There is no photograph or video which indicates that the fires were nearing the temperature to melt aluminum, much less the temperature to melt steel.

The more one inspects the documentation the more obvious the conclusion becomes that the planes which supposedly struck the World Trade Center on 9/11/01 could not have melted the steel in the Twin Towers under the circumstances we all seemingly witnessed.

Even if we could believe that the laws of physics were altered on 9/11/01, and burning jet fuel melted steel that day, the jet fuel from the alleged planes would have caused the towers to twist and bend and fall over, not completely implode in their footprints.

The tendency for tall building structures when they collapse is to bend over and crash into surrounding areas. That’s why demolition experts are almost always hired to topple tall buildings in major cities.

There is a growing number of people around the world who believe that the Twin Towers fell from a pair of controlled demolitions. Despite the best efforts of the Left Gatekeepers to suppress the movement, conferences are being held to discuss 9-11; books and papers are being published, videos are being produced, new websites appear daily and emails are circulating like wildfire.

(An author I highly recommend is Eric Hufschmid. His book, “Painful Questions” argues convincingly that the Twin Towers fell from controlled demolitions. In addition, his excellent video, “Painful Deceptions” introduces more scientific anomalies with the official story of 9/11/01. At this writing there are no plans for Amy Goodman to have Hufschmid debut on her program.)

The 911 Truth Movement is battling the Bush regime where it is most vulnerable. Instead of merely reporting on the growing infrastructure of the Bush regime’s planned police state, the activists investigating 9-11 are attempting to remove the justification for each piece of it.

They are attempting to isolate some basic ideas that can be delivered to large masses of people. Unfortunately, misguided Left Gatekeepers like Amy Goodman continue to block their efforts at pursuing the path that has the greatest chance of success.

Summary Democracy Now!’s contribution to the global struggle to remove the neoconservatives from power in the US is undermined each day that passes that Amy Goodman fails to invite on her show an articulate critic of the official story of 9/11/01. In addition, what little that has been said on DN! about 9-11 should be regarded as disinformation which is completely at the service of the Bush regime.

What many of her critics want from Amy Goodman is for Democracy Now! to speak truth to power on the most important issue of our time. We all know from her past that when she speaks truth to power she can move mountains. Many of us also believe that we’re running out of time waiting for her to get moving.

September 11th isn’t an issue like any other. It is the catalyst for the Bush regime’s dramatic expansion of US imperialism and very open foundations for a police state. Activists who are interested in removing the harm done by the Bush regime since 9/11/01 should focus on conveying the scientific anomalies with the official story of that day. To do otherwise is to fight a losing battle.

i just have to say how much good feeling all of those here are generating thank you everyone

i do feel that a registry and a referral will take seed here. seems that with one of the biggest insurance owners wanting to help soon cannabis will be covered for cars, health, and more.

m-b-c you have a group here and you have one near you u just have not met yet

Whenever I am reminded of the late 60's I think of that scent first before anything else including the wonderful aroma of cannabis. On the other hand, when I detect the scent of patchoulie in the air I image Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix, Peace, Love, Hippies and the whole 60's era.

President Bush said today the government is doing "everything in our power to protect" the American people from another terrorist attack but warned again that terrorists have the advantage when attacking the United States.

"They've got to be right one time," Bush said at the National Counterterrorism Center in McLean. "We've got to be right 100 percent of the time to protect the American people."

Now if bush would learn from you!

I seem to be good at sparking, I'll choose to engulf the situation, with a huge dose of H2O!

Great image FOM!

BTW: Jupiter, the planet of happiness, travel, philosopy and truth, is in Scorpio through your birthday, so you and Neil Young ARE on a roll! Very expansive, lucky, time to take risks!

Are you feeling it? Seems like it!

Keep your eyes on Mexico, it is where the action is!

(but you wouldn't know it, blackout big time on Mexicos Stolen Election, and the Peoples Takeove of Mexico City, while waiting for the fraud to be unmasked, as it will, and Mexico will be the most authenic Democracy on Planet Earth, as the 'other' Americas' throw off the yoke of killer capitalism!)

Prepare for another stolen Election in the U.S., as the MEDIA roots for the bush/fox thief! Shades of our next election to come, so DON'T get you hopes up folks, they have it down PAT, and the MEDIA will make it so!

Thanks for all you do, and Mayan of course! Does Mayan have a web-page? When can we put you two on a ballot and vote you into office! LOL!

Mexico’s Partial Vote Recount Confirms Massive and Systematic Election Fraud With Less than 9 Percent of Precincts Recounted, More than 126,000 Votes Are Found to Have Been Disappeared or Illegally Fabricated

it's only castles burning,

just find someone who's turning,

Then its okay, long as its innocent Iraqi women and children, and reporters that aren't 'embedded' with the bushco war mafia machine.

You've gotten good at reading between the lines, FOM, and the poster should have clarified their reasons for saying 'awesome', though I DO know why he would make such a statement, as FOX News carries bushes war water to the masses, of which they seem to drink from, hook, line and sinker.

So far, with NO consequences, hmmmmm.....

Fox News actually thinks and stands proud to say it, that journalists that die covering the war deserve it, just for doing their job, 'UNLEss THEY ARE SYNCOPHANTS FOR BUSH', (and have sent out a memo telling the station NOT to cover the kidnapping, so watch Fox and monitor it's coverage of the kidnapping of their OWN war correspondents, you won't see any, that's how concerned THEY are, less than us! Go figure!).

Enough 'bush'it.....

Back to watching murder and mayhem sold as news to make Americans feel GOOD about their idiot prez, as we prepare for certain nuclear bombing of Iran, see how easy we forget last months armaggedon war rattling, then, it's back to our favorite sit-com.

Oh, I forgot, were at War!

Geez, who would know?

Over 3,000 Iraqi citizens have died violent deaths in the last month alone, where's the outrage! NOT in America! Unless it's on a stage graced by C,S,N,Y!!!! Neil IS the MAN!

And bush will have his October surprise, and we will all sit by and wonder how he gets away with it, Karma is a bitch, and America will be exposed, and WE will have to right the wrongs, noone else.

Peace be with all!

Contrary to popular belief, 1969 didn't arrive at the same time all around the country. Woodstock was not widely advertised on the west coast, and only those who were highly 'tuned in' knew about it until after the fact.

San Fransisco and L.A. were directly linked, but the mainstream media was exactly as politically correct then as it is today, so unless you were actually 'hanging out' at Berkely, or Golden Gate Park, the word didn't filter down to say Bakersfield (a Buck Owens town) until months later;

"Hey did you hear about Woodstock? I got the record man!"

NO internet in 1969.

By the time I heard about it, I was on my way to fulfilling my 'patriotic duty'.

After that story, I came back to a nation divided against itself. I went looking for the lost 'hippies'.

Up and down the coast. In the heartland; Kansas. Missouri. I didn't go back to the east coast because I had memeories of the 'hippies' there - who threw bottles and cans at us as we walked down the street - because we were military.

My hair got long, and everywhere I went there was a few hippy-types, smokin', had the music, the vibe, the culture, but the 'gathering' such as was reported occurred at woodstock eluded me.

What happened to the hippy? The Haight Ashbury team made a big ceremony out of 'the death of the Hippy'. And out of that came yippies. Remember yippies? They were direct offshoot of the Merry Pranksters.

But that magic and energy had to go somewhere, it didn't just dissipate into the humdrum of mediocrity and become 'yuppiedom.'

It did go somewhere. Little known to the rest of us, a branch of the 'hippie' family saw that the thing at Woodstock that was truly the magic, and in some ways the most important aspect, was the gathering itself.

As proof of this, I met Wavy Gravy not at Woodstock, but at the Rainbow Gathering.

In 1971 the first 'Rainbow Gathering' then called the "Vortex" gathering (there was a "Vortex II" in the '80s) was held in Oregon. The next year the official Rainbow Gathering of The Tribes began it's annual event, that first year was at Granby Colorado.

The 'hippy' movement of the '60s moved on. Those who were only in it for the generational fad and fashion, saw it as only a 'flash-in-the-pan' kind of phenomenon.

Rest assured that that spirit which is after all the spirit of peace, love, and understanding did not 'evaporate' at the end of Woodstock.

A Day At the Museum

A number of people have wanted to know how the passing out of flyers went at the museum on Friday. So I've got a little story to tell. And you'll learn... - That the museum personnel know very little about the constitutional right of free speech.

- That if you pay $12 to park, and then pay $11 for a ticket to see the exhibit, and then ask some very cordial and polite questions of museum personnel, a Vice President will come and personally threaten to have you removed from the premises.

Saturday I, along with none other than the Free Liberal's very own Robert Capozzi, was able to catch Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in Northern Virgina. The show was an awesome combination of one of the finest rock concerts I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot) and an anti-war rally.

Deja Vu: CSNY is Tunefully Political

August 15, 2006

Allentown, Pa. — Consider the hippie, that 1960s media counterculture darling who once was so cool and now, four decades later, is often portrayed as a benign, slightly silly loser.

But not everyone blushes at being identified with the word. In fact, 11 musical acts from the 1960s - four of whom played at the original Woodstock - are touring together under the banner of Hippiefest, each playing three or four of the songs that made them famous.
