CHAPTER 1 = Opening Angelic Trouble in Prison
"We need, in every community, a group of angelic troublemakers. Our power is in our ability to make things unworkable."--Bayard Rustin



CHAPTER 2 = Practical Power in Eachother



CHAPTER 3 = Poison Fire
DANIEL: Ammon picketed against the violence of genocidal, U-S nuclear weapons. The nuclear industry produces toxic hazards of concentrated radioactive pollution--also known as "poison fire". As our spinning earth orbits around the sun, landmark events resolve themselves into a coil of time.
DIANE: What do YOU call this place?
DANIEL: What do YOU call this place?
DIANE: Turtle Island?
DANIEL: Aztlan?



CHAPTER 4 = Thoreau & Goldman

CHAPTER 11 = Poetic Resistance Grows
DANIEL:
Ammon Hennacy wrote this poem:
(Joan, Marcella, Mike, Michael, Rainbeau, Patrick & Robin read the 1949 poem.)




CHAPTER 12 = ChristiAnarchy & Romance
ERIC:
We're talking about a movement...


DOROTHY: Alot of young people come to us...it's a pacifist anarchist movement, and they come to learn about this way of life that's a change from the bottom-up rather than from the top-down.
EILEEN: alot of the young were of a religious bent. Dorothy used the term anarchism, and i said, "but Dorothy they've never even heard of this" and she'd say, "i mean the anarchism of Kropotkin--mutual aid and all that rot."
"Moreover, while early Christianity, like all other religions, was an appeal to the broadly human feelings of mutual aid and sympathy, the Christian Church has aided the State in wrecking all standing institutions of mutual aid and support which were anterior to it, or developed outside of it; and, instead of the mutual aid...it has preached charity which bears a character of inspiration from above, and, accordingly, implies a certain superiority of the giver upon the receiver...."
--Peter Kropotkin, 1902





CHAPTER 13 = Rebel Art: Solnit & Cortez



CHAPTER 14 = St. Joe & Voltairine
DANIEL:
That year the Ammon Hennacy House of Hospitality was started by Los Angeles Catholic Workers.




CHAPTER 15 = Prophecies
CORBIN HARNEY:
I try to get the people to understand: the nuclear energy is not the way; radiation is agonna—I been saying it for many years—it’s gonna t-thin our life for us—not only a not only the humans but all the livin’ things. So we’re already beginning to see that. Then the “D.O.E.”—the nuclear energy dept. as they call themselves—they said they weren’t gonna test at the Nevada Test Site anymore. Everybody believed that—but I kept tellin’ the people that you CANNOT BELIEVE our government, because they’re the ones that are pushing this…

CHAPTER 17 = EXTRAS/RAWGEMS







"That is why Anarchy... strives to maintain and enlarge the precious kernel of social customs without which no human or animal society can exist. Only, instead of demanding that those social customs should be maintained through the authority of a few, it demands it from the continued action of all...."
--Peter Kropotkin; 1898


“Anarchism is therefore the teacher of the unity of life; not merely in nature, but in man.”
—Emma Goldman, from Anarchism & Other Essays


"I believe that anarchism is the finest and biggest thing man has ever thought of; the only thing that can give you liberty and well being, and bring peace and joy to the world."
--Alexander Berkman
