OTL 71: Saul Williams Excerpt #2 “Homegrown Terrorists”
Saul Williams: There's a documentary I saw recently about the city I'm from, Newburgh, New York. There's a documentary coming out called The Newburgh Sting, about just that. It's coming out on HBO this summer, about just that, how the FBI set up some local cats as homegrown terrorists. These cats could give a fuck; they're just trying to get money! So if a FBI operative is like, "Yo, I'll give you three hundred thousand dollars to point a gun at a plane," it's like "I don't give a fuck, you'll give me what?" I mean if we're running like that, you're gonna have a lot of fucking homegrown terrorists, you know what I'm saying? We need to treat some of these TV producers as homegrown terrorists, some of these music producers and labels as homegrown terrorists, for the bullshit they're funneling into the system
