  "Party Comrades!! Cest moi- Citizen Nick Velvet!! Still 1/8 of a ton, but no longer (sigh) Radio Romeo. As my legions of fans know, for many years I did a regular feature on WORT about US held political prisoners, and very often I would read excerpts from letters by Ray Luc Levasseur, letters written in the most techno-fascist prisons this Empire has built. I have a website for Ray now, & invite your perusal. If you think these essays will help your political work, feel free to use them.
