At the beginning of the song “Mao Tse Tung Said” by the group Alabama 3, there’s a sample of some speech. Fragments of the speech include:

“Hate is mine.”  
“Love is the only weapon-bullsh\*t! Martin Luther King died with love!”  
“I got a whole lot to fight! I’ll fight! I’ll fight! I will fight!”

There is a crowd cheering at the end, and the whole speech is in American English.

My guess is either Malcom X or George Lincoln Rockwell. Anyone?

Didn’t Malcolm X die before MLK?

Ali?

Maybe it was just made up for the song.

No, following Sam Clem’s link reveals that it was a fake speech by industrial music guru Genesis P. Orridge.

No…[this](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22I+got+guns%2C+I+got+dynamite%22+%22jim+jones%22&btnG=Google+Search/) suggests that it is from Jim Jones of Jonestown fame. Unfortunately, I can’t get this site to open.

Remember that Jones’ last hours were recorded. I suspect it is from that last day.
