Expropriations and Internal Exile: Ray Luc Levasseur on Tom Manning, SCAR & the Ohio 7
For this week’s episode, Bursts spoke with Ray Luc Levasseur, longtime activist, Vietnam War vet, revolutionary and former political prisoner in the U.S. Ray was a reputed founder of the Sam Melville / Jonathan Jackson Unit, later known as the United Freedom Front which conducted sabotage, expropriations and attacks against profiteers and symbols of American Imperialism and oppression abroad. After 9 years of activity in the group and living underground, members of the group were apprehended and became known as the Ohio 7. Ray was paroled in 2004, about 20 years after his arrest.
Here we present half of our interview with Ray, which covers some of his political development. The other portion of this interview will air soon.
Now, though, we’ll hear about Ray’s organizing with prisoners ...

https://burningbooksbuffalo.com/
Tom is still in jail and he's a Butner. Butner is a medical and I use those terms in quotations just like we call them prisons,but we really should call them death camps because that is truly what they are and I stole that from my husband. But at any rate. I just got this day before yesterday from the Jericho folks and Lamb in particular. And I want to read it because it's from Tom. He's a Butner, and just to give you an idea about prison medicine which I know a great deal having been taken for chemotherapy in shackles and cuffs escorted by two heavyweight corrections officers with loaded with nine millimeters and that didn't bother me so much as the fact that they not only had the nines but they must have had two belts of ammo. Good grief. But anyway bet ...

For this week’s episode, Bursts spoke with Ray Luc Levasseur, longtime activist, Vietnam War vet, revolutionary and former political prisoner in the U.S. Ray was a reputed founder of the Sam Melville / Jonathan Jackson Unit, later known as the United Freedom Front which conducted sabotage, expropriations and attacks against profiteers and symbols of American Imperialism and oppression abroad. After 9 years of activity in the group and living underground, members of the group were apprehended and became known as the Ohio 7. Ray was paroled in 2004, about 20 years after his arrest.
Here we present half of our interview with Ray, which covers some of his political development. The other portion of this interview will air soon.
Now, though, we’ll hear about Ray’s organizing with prisoners after his own political incarceration for organizing and possession of small portions of marijuana for sale, the organizing of SCAR (Statewide Correctional Alliance for Reform), meeting Tom Manning, the process of going underground and why they chose this route and the formation of the underground movement later known as the SM/JJU. Then, Ray speaks about the case of his still incarcerated co-defendants, Jaan Laaman, and in more detail about co-defendant Tom Manning. Tom has been kept off and on in solitary confinement for very long periods of time, has been summarily transferred, has received inadequate medical care for the injuries of incarceration and aging inside of prisons. He was producing artwork until 2010 when he almost lost his leg due to an injury while being held in Florida. He was recently transferred from the Medical Facility at Butner, NC, to USP Hazelton in West Virginia. Tom Manning has only recently been able to start drawing again because he finally relieved some medical care relieving some of his pain & there’ s an art room at Hazelton with some supplies. If you’d like to correspond with Tom, you can write him at:
Thomas Manning #10373-016
USP Hazelton Post Office Box 2000
Bruceton Mills, West Virginia 26525
We’ll have more info on the case of Jaan Laaman, the other member of the UFF still in prison soon. Jaan’s birthday is coming up on March 21st, so send him a birthday greeting if you want. Jaan Laaman #10372-016

Tom is still in jail and he's a Butner. Butner is a medical and I use those terms in quotations just like we call them prisons,but we really should call them death camps because that is truly what they are and I stole that from my husband. But at any rate. I just got this day before yesterday from the Jericho folks and Lamb in particular. And I want to read it because it's from Tom. He's a Butner, and just to give you an idea about prison medicine which I know a great deal having been taken for chemotherapy in shackles and cuffs escorted by two heavyweight corrections officers with loaded with nine millimeters and that didn't bother me so much as the fact that they not only had the nines but they must have had two belts of ammo. Good grief. But anyway bet we're going to make sure it is dangerous, this dangerous lady going in for chemo treatments for her cancer, did not escape I actually I guess maybe I know I felt bad if they haven't treated me like that. I would have felt my God I did not I wasn't doing such a great job. But anyway that was then. But Tom he's had trouble he's had problems with bone things and whatever and he's now a Butner. When he was at the Springfield medical I just want to give you one little tidbit to show you what medical care is like in prison. He went in to have an operation on his ankle I believe it was it may have been his knee but at any rate when he came out of the operating room and finally got to his feet one leg was about two or three inches shorter than the other.
So, he said what about this. You know what's going on? So, they took him and they'll say this with a straight face and not be afraid it will be repeated. But, they say to him that's OK. When we do the other one we'll even it up. Anyway, Tom is still great. I'm going to read you a letter that he wrote a minute after midnight in this cell. He's in Butner, that's in South Carolina, North Carolina one of those. I'm terrible. One of those Carolinas those not so great places. Anyway here's what he wrote:
"Of midnight after midnight a minute after midnight in his cell reading Ramzy Baroud March 17 piece on the BDS boycott of the Zionists who occupied Palestine and slaughter Palestinians at will. I watch TV and in here this prison hospital, a lot and see what the American public is fed and accept passively every day. Things that seem minor to my fellow captives when I mention them, which I do. They look at me as if I'm the TV grouch. The bond actress Jorgensen who is pro-Zionist factories in the west bank of Palestine. She's a superhero in Captain America. The movie an Israeli soldier who plays Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman in another super hero movie gets more interview time than the Palestinian family whose son was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier while laying on the ground under arrest. Bang. A big joke. I see a news clip. That shows two men a father and son maybe tending their fishing gear on a beach with the open sea beyond. Open. The Zionists have just allowed Palestinians of Gaza to fish nine miles out, the limit had been six miles. While I take in this view I have the visual memory of the four boys in a tight athletic group running this way and that. Trying unsuccessfully to outrun the bursting shells the Zionists were lobbing at them from out on that same sea. Then CBS Evening News shows us a young man of Gaza who do some amazing acrobatic jumping and tumbling amidst the ruins of their city looking for moments of freedom when their feet are off the ground between leaping and landing. And as the American reporter interviews them for little news novelty moment at the end of the evening. You can see the shiny ribbon of prison apartheid wall in the background from one side of the TV screen to the other with the very high tech highly lethal watchtower, God tower, shine against the blue sky. I try to focus my fellow captives on the real stories behind this diversionary propaganda. Try to explain apartheid and how it can be applied in places other than South Africa. When asked 'How do you know all this shit?' I tell them I'm here in this prison with them for fighting against apartheid. I can't capture the Abbot and Costello like conversation that grew out of this. And as I left the TV room I heard someone say that mother fucker's crazy and someone else says what time is the game on?"
That's from Tommy Manning locked up. Probably going to stay locked up unless we do something about it. Unless we get ourselves organized just as you did for me. We are going to organize ourselves behind, what is it, two political prisoners still behind the walls? We have got to bring them home we can't call ourselves a movement if we don't we must do this. This is our, in my view, prime objective, prime goal. It is what I will give the rest of my life to doing.
