I feel that Schreiber takes all of the other members from Willie the Wolfe to Ling Perry and Bill and Emily Harris Remiro etc at face value. He seems to buy into all of their backgrounds and motivations. I remember Mae uncovered the Harrises as being undercover cops from Indiana.

Look at the Realist link [above] in which Mae Brussell correctly [I think] call out the Harrises (and others) as intelligence creeps - and gives some very detailed interesting facts about their backgrounds!

Has any one here read Patty Hearst's book? I think it is called 'Every Little Thing'. I did many years ago but can't recall much of it now. Will need to re-read. But how does it stack up as an account of the SLA and events and compare to this book?

I think its very different. The Schreiber book detailed Patti Hearsts affair with Defreeze at Vacaville which was encouraged by Westbrook. Schreiber argues that part of the motivation for kidnapping Patti was that she rejected him when he started talking about killing people while in prison. I think the defense did their best to hide that she was visiting and sleeping with Defreeze with her friends Mary Siems student ID card. In fact, Patti was discussing plans for kidnapping her sisters apparently. So when mizmoon and Defreeze bursted into Patti and her fiances apartment and hit steven weed over the head with a bottle then grabbing her she screamed "Not me!!!" according to Steven Weed. Also when she wrote that book none of the SLA members knew (though maybe a few had suspicions of Defreezes role as an informant and provocateur and how tightly he had been controlled and manipulated by Westbrook. Read some more today.. its really great...I just read the chapter on the people in need program, it costs Hearst a few million dollars and created a total uproar in california government all these Reagan types having to concede to this crazy "revolutionaries" demands. I was 5 when all that happened and living in the bay area but I dont remember any of it..

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€

It should be noted that the SLA was not the only example of high strangeness that came out of that city in the late '60s and early '70s:
San Francisco Chronicle, 9-25-76 "...shortly after the assassination attempt on President Ford in San Francisco(on 9-22-75 by Sara Jane Moore), a presidential aide described the city as "the kook capital of the world" " The greater San Francisco Bay Area from the late 1960s to the mid 1970s was either the genesis or the host to a huge number of fringe/radical organizations--political, religious, and social. It started in the summer of love with the psychedelic landscape of Haight-Ashbury. Followed quickly by the gangs, cults and radical groups which included the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army, the Black Guerrilla Army, the Black Culture Association, the United Prisoner's Union, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the Weather Underground, the Tribal Thumb, Prairie Fire, Vietnam Veterans Against the War/Winter Soldier, the Revolutionary Union, New World Liberation Front, August Seventh Guerrilla Movement, Venceremos, the White Panthers, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Merry Pranksters, the Manson Family, the Gypsy Jokers, the Hells Angels, the Church of Satan, Jim Jones's Peoples Temple, the Hare Krishnas, and even the Process Church of the Final Judgement. Not to mention all the serial killers that soon became active in the greater Bay Area: the Zodiac, the Zebras, the Doodler, the Paper Bag killer, the Santa Rosa hitchhiker killer, Juan Corona, Herb Mullin, Edmund Kemper, Richard Trenton Chase, and even possibly the first of New York's "Son of Sam" murders(the Arlis Perry case of 1974) .... Not to mention a disastrous rock concert at Altamont, the Patricia Hearst kidnapping, two attempts on the life of President Gerald Ford, and the assassination of SF Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBFPpXNpU-c |
