August 22, 2007 marks the 80th anniversary of the murder of two
innocent immigrants by the United States of America government (a more
appropriate name would be the United States of Murder Incorporated).
What a shameful period of US history!

As President of the GLT Shortwave Club I am calling on, no DEMANDING,
the US government issue a formal apology to the families of these
innocent victims.

Perhaps it should be the state of Massachusetts who should apologize,
since they were the chief railroaders. Massachusetts is a far more
liberal place than it was in 1920, so this should be no problem. It
should be noted that the same hatred that killed these guys is now
directed at Mexicans, with demands for mass murder of them and Muslims
being heard. We're becoming the Nazis. At least in 1920 there were no
attempts at anti-Italian genocide.

Massachusetts should certainly apologize also. The US government
apology is more important because they created, nurtured and fanned
the flames that made a Sacco/Venzetti atrocity possible. Do you recall
the infamous Palmer Raids so named after U.S. Attorney General
Palmer?

From Wikipedia:
His tenure as Attorney General was concurrent with the First Red
Scare, and Palmer became a zealous opponent of anarchist communists,
insurrectionary anarchists, and other radicals who advocated the
violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Twice the intended victim of
anarchist bomb attacks, the bombing and destruction of his Washington,
D.C. home (which killed the bomber, Carlo Valdinoci as he was placing
the bomb on Palmer's porch) undoubtedly influenced his actions in this
area. His campaign against radicalism culminated in what came to be
called the Palmer Raids. These were a series of police roundups,
warrantless wiretaps (authorized under the Sedition Act), and mass
arrests of suspected leftists and radicals, during which a total of at
least 10,000 individuals were arrested. Fearful of extremist violence
and revolution, the American public widely supported the raids, and
outside of criticism by those apprehended, some civil libertarian
groups, and the radical left, condemnation of the raids did not
surface until many years later.

Palmer also famously predicted that Communists would attempt to
overthrow the United States government on May Day 1920. He had some
reason for making this statement, as the original anarchist mail
bombing had been timed to ensure delivery of the bombs by the Post
Office on May Day 1919. The date came and went without incident, but
on September 16 of that year, Wall Street was rocked by a violent
blast, later known as the Wall Street bombing. The bomb was
constructed with 100 pounds of dynamite and was wrapped with metal
shrapnel in order to cause indiscriminate casualties. Concealed in a
horse-drawn wagon, the bomb was precisely timed to catch people
leaving for their lunch break. The Wall Street bombing killed 38
people and wounded or maimed over 400, causing extensive property
damage and leaving visible marks on several Wall Street buildings to
this day. In spite of the Palmer raids, the Galleanist (followers of
Luigi Galleani) bomb campaign would continue for another twelve years,
until most of its members had been prosecuted, deported, or become
inactive.
