Today in Labor History February 4, 1974: The Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) kidnapped Patty Hearst, granddaughter of American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, in Berkeley, California. One of the SLA’s demands for releasing Hearst was for her family to pay for millions of dollars’ worth of food to be given out free the poor and unhoused of the San Francisco Bay Area. Hearst complied, with various community organizations distributing 100,000 bags of groceries at 16 sites in 4 counties, before violence brought the program to a halt. The violence occurred because the crowds were bigger than expected and workers started throwing boxes of food off of moving trucks. As a captive, Patty Hearst was held in a closet, blindfolded, with her hands tied, raped and threatened repeatedly with death. She was later offered the choice of freedom, or joining the SLA. She chose the latter. Consequently, she was later sentenced to 35 years in prison for her complicity in SLA robberies. After several years in prison, her sentence was commuted by President Carter. President Clinton later pardoned her. Congressional Representative Leo Ryan was murdered by the Jim Jones cult in Guyana several weeks after collecting signatures for her release. Actor John Wayne, of all people, expressed frustration that everyone accepted the idea that Jones had brainwashed hundreds of his followers into mass suicide, but wouldn’t accept that the SLA could have brainwashed a teenage girl. After her release, Hearst went on to become an actress, appearing in several John Waters films, as well as many others.

EL ACTOR AL QUE LE DIO UN TOQUE JOHN WAYNE POR ACEPTAR UN PAPEL DE EXTREMA DEBILIDAD.
Durante décadas, Marion Robert Morrison —el mundo lo conocería para siempre como John Wayne— encarnó una idea muy concreta de América. Rudo, implacable, casi pétreo, su figura se forjó a golpe de wésterns y miradas severas, de héroes que rara vez dudaban y jamás se quebraban. La diligencia, Centauros del…

John Wayne was a coward!🇺🇸
" the combat veterans present during his USO tours in the 1940s were furious with his presence, booing the Duke and jeering as he took the stage. In their eyes, Wayne was a coward and a draft dodger who chose Hollywood stardom over joining the war effort.
When it comes down to brass tacks, John Wayne is nothing more than an opportunistic bigot that has been undeservedly iconized by American culture. "

EL WESTERN PROPIO QUE JOHN FORD ELIGIO COMO SU FAVORITO.
John Wayne construyó a lo largo de décadas un mito inseparable del wéstern, hasta el punto de que su sola silueta a contraluz parecía resumir todo un imaginario del Viejo Oeste. Con más de un centenar de papeles protagonistas, su filmografía es tan vasta que cualquier intento de señalar una obra…

Ach!!! John Wayne war nicht nur ein Western-Held. Wie nur die wenigsten wissen, hatte er auch einen, sagen wir, etwas seltsamen Auftritt in der größten Sc-Fi-Reihe der Filmgeschichte.🤠 #sfcd #starwars #johnwayne

John Wayne starb, ohne zu wiss...

#JohnWayne et #BrigitteBardot ont ils mis une cartouche ?
Nan parce que faudrait quand même le savoir 🙂

Speaking of amnesty, today in Labor History December 23, 1947: Pres Truman pardoned 1,523 WWII draft resistors. However, he let the remaining 14,282 war resisters continue to rot in prison. John Wayne was one of the most famous World War II draft dodgers. However, he never served time. On the contrary, while other leading men, like Clark Gable, were fighting to protect the interests of Capital, Wayne was busily scooping up their roles and making a name for himself in Hollywood.
