Dear Friends of Timothy,
I was Timothy Leary's love and friend during his years in the State of California and the Federal prison system. I am proud and honored to have had the opportunity to work tirelessly for his relief and release from prison. Timothy was locked up in solitary confinement for almost 2 years in the cruelest prisons of the American Gulag for possession of a mere 00.1 grammes of weed. He and I, as his common law wife, were ridiculed and harassed by the powers that controlled his freedom.
I did everything I could to get him out of this intolerable situation. His life was in danger and I was constantly followed, wire taped and threatened by US Marshals and federal agents of many agencies. Frankly I would have done anything to save his life and I am deeply moved to have loved and cared for this man as much. To me he was not a symbol of my generation but the love of my life who was being tortured. I did what ever he asked me to do to get him out of this infierno. I am not now nor have I never been on the side of the right wing government perpetrators.
I have dedicated my life to being part of the solution to enslavement of any kind and I will die doing just that.
If you want to know more about my story please read my autobiography published on www.metahistory.org/Paramour...urCH1.php
Also you can see and hear my work on www.futureprimitive.org/GAIAlo...#latest
Let's live and love and laugh together on this winding road to freedom,
Joanna

  • Joanna,

    Unfortunately, I--like many people--never had the pleasure of 'meeting' Tim, but I certainly feel close to him in spirit. I CAN say, reading over all of your troubles with him does nothing but make me jealous. Tim is definitely a fun, kind-hearted, and intelligent being--at least that is how he comes across to me. I consider it an honor to actually STILL have him in my life--as I'm sure you understand.
    Anyway, I read a bit of your story; it is well written and more. Your site is very nice as well. My computer at work doesn't have speakers (?), but I will check out the interviews you shared when I get home. Tim, Ralph, Richard, You... my kinds of people. (:
    Would you mind me linking to your site from mine? Here is where it would be (magickalrecords.net/links/mi...ous.htm). I'll understand if you decline, but I don't see why you would. ( ;

    See you around,
