Pig Zisser has shown the peo- ple that he has no regard for them, their lives or their health, By allowing unfit housing conditions to exist he has shown the people YGROUND on Charlotte Street that he cares only for the financial profit. When the buildings got to the point of delapidation, due to the fact that pig Zisser was not on his fob, he split, Complaints and viola- tions were called in numerous times and still no move has been THE BRUTAL INDECENCY The buildings on Charlotte St. have been abandoned by the pig landlord Zisser for over a year, and the junkies and petty thieves have been ripping off the brass Plumbing, causing the people to have floods in their apartments and water seeped walls and ceil- ings. The pigs have made no move to providethe people decent living conditions. Violation forms were submitted and still no move was made to correct the violations, There is no monetary profit for the pig landlord Zisser, or his partners in the state and city made to correct the violations. Recently, a pig from the building and housing department came to 1540 Charlotte Street and pro- mised to make repairs only if the people will pay rent, and not be- cause the people are suffering from indecent housing. The peo- ple have not been paying rent and members of the Black Pan- ther Party’s Bronx Housing Coa- lition and the people on Charlotte Street will not allow the pigs to control or stop the people's righteous struggle to rid them- selves of all greedy slumlords. The members of the Black Panther Party Housing Coalition realize the people in the colony do not have the financial means to pool thelr money to correct the exist- ing violations, therefore the Hous- ing Coalition and the people on Charlotte Street will pool their resources and defend our homes. The people will demand that Pig Altman of the Building and f ing Department knows this knows the violations exist, yet he has done nothing, The pigs of the Building and Housing Department, and all the many agencies “‘sup- posedly"’ dealing with correcting housing violations arecriminals and outlaws according to their own pigs laws, They are breaking the law, they are murdering the people by letting obvious viola- tions exist, They are coing all these things, yet they are pot being harassed, brutalized or thrown Into concentration camps. £ Raed. Kak eS NM Sst DISEASE INFESTED GARBAGE _— When the people protest these il- legal violations they are attacked viciously by the local pig police (gestapo), brutalized, and thrown into jails, for demanding thelr right to decent housing. The people on Charlotte Street have the desire to control their own destinies. This is evident by the fact that the people have joined the Housing Coalition oper- ating with the Black Panther Par - ty. This Housing Coalition is dedi- to decent housing by any means necessary. The fascist pig slum- lords will stop attacking the peo- Ple in the manner of criminals and outlaws, and give the people decent housing fit for shelrer of human beings (Pt. #4 of the Black Panther Party's 10 Point Plat- form and Program), or they will face a political consequence atthe hands of the armed people.

Madison, Chicago, Il. “Equal protection under the law” is supposed to be one of America's codes of justice. In es- sence, it is supposed to mean that regardless of one’s race, creed, etc,, ami economic status, the law’ applies equally to everyone; the ‘‘law’’ will not give more len- feny to one individual than it would to another individual under similar circumstances. This is part of what the phrase is supposed t mean, but looking at the his- torical experiences of Black peo- ple, it is very clear thar ‘‘equal protection under the law” is a farce. For approximately the last two weeks, Black students of Helms je. High School, in San Pabb, California, have been subjected to daily brutal, racist attacks from the young White racist students, their parents and other family members, and mad dog, racist pigs from the San Pablo pig pen. On October &h, these attacks culmi- nated in 4 near-fatal attack on Kasim Jefferson by a Richmond High racist; the brother's ear was nearly torn off by a blow from the racist’s claw hammer. On Tuesday, October 13th, some brothers decided it was time to put ig on the minds of the racists of Richmond High that the savage attacks on Black students would no longer be tolerated, As the brothers were prepar- ing to righteously deal with the psychopathic racists, two bootlick- ing rent-a-pigs,. Frazier and Greenhouse, intervened in behalf of the White racist studengs, These two low-lifed niggers triedsohard Frazier’s unjust attack when Greenhouse punched the bricher in the back, asked who hit him, far lackey Greenhouse oinked, ‘*I hit you."" Greenhouse later told a sister that he would hit the bro- ther again if he had the chance, The brothers and sisters of Rich- mond High having thoroughly recognized Greenhouse and Fra- zier for what they are, bootlick- ing, racist-protecting pigs, stated that those two puppets have an emensive reputation for brutaliz- ing students, Right after the brother was at- tacked by the bootlickers, the ra- cist pigs from the San Pablo and Richmond pig pens came on the scene, About five pig mobiles con- verged on Melvin Mason, who was about to defend himself from an attack by the racist who attacked Kasim with the hammer. Brother Melvin was arrested for disturb- ing the peace but his attacker remained free because the pigs **didn’t see him squaring off." A sister, Pat Wilson, who was near Melvin was also falsely arrested for disturbing the peace. Not so surprising was the fact that the father of the racist hammerman was arrested and released on the Spot even though he was cursing Pat's mother because she asked him why wis his son attacking people, Now the pigs went into their act. They began ordering the stu- — dents to “‘clear the streets in two Y minutes or go to jai” Ro wag clear by the way the pigs were : harassing the brothers andsisters | that they (pigs) were attempting to escalate the situation, thus giv- ing the pigs reason to crackskulls and jall people. ts Quickly analyzing the s Black Panther Santa Rita, pon Community Worker Carl Colar, decided to try to clear the streets — before the pigs began = *. the Black students. Carl and Santa Rita pointed out to the people the obvious shortcomings of try- ing to deal with pigs while being in the streets in large mer ‘The people, listening to the bro= thers, and noticing how the armed gestapo were itching to brutalize them, began to clear the area, As long as Santa Rite and Carl — were moving with the people out of the area, they were t] being harassed and/or M7 by pigs Martin and Neimela o San Pablo, and pigs Gale and Lel- berman of Richmond, be After it was clear that the people were going to leave, Santa and Carl got into their car to take anyone home who needed a ride, As the brothers were leaving, pig Martin olnked, ‘l sure would F to kick 4 Black Panther’s behind.” The reactionary fools were fu ; because the two revolution ; had seen to it that there was no | mass brutalization, So, true to tin, Neimeia, Gale, Leibern i. in a thers were in andc searched, handcuffed, and put into 4 pig wagon; the brothers’ car was being extremely and illeg searched, The pigs wouldn't give the car keys to another Panther, Joan Kelley, when she came to check out the reported arrests, Shortly afterward, the brother: were taken to jail and then re- leased, after posting $125 ransom each, ier We must fully understand that Black people have no rights that White racist pigs and bootlicking nigger pigs are bound to respect. — The people of North Richmond the colony) have realizedagainthatal- though they are being victimized — by racist aggression, they are as being treated as the aggressors, — KS The people see that the so-called Protectors of the peace are infact the promoters of confusion, The people must now come to the realization that the only way for us to insure our rights to just — treatment is to begin dealing death blows to the racist, gestapotroops and thelr bootlicking colleagues, — We must move in 2's and 3's-= guerilla style--to insure our sur= vival, \LL POWER TO THE PEOPLE — DEATH TO THE PASCST PIGS BLACK PANTHER PARTY % Richmom!

LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE'S Vic- TORY! BOSTON CHAPTER BLACK PANTHER PARTY 23 WINTHROP STREET ROXBURY, MASS, THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1970 PAGE 3 PIG HARASSES SISTER One sight familiar to any Black cormmunity in Babylon is the racist pigs riding throw the colony “looking for a sister” to kidnap. Since time Iimmemortal these pigs have alwuys felt the need to assert thelr superfority by using sisters at their will, During the so-called slave era the slaveowners were able to do this quke openly in terms of the repercussions from their other slaves. Today the facts remain the same, the only difference now are the tactics. Today we find these dogs sliding aroumd our communities after dark waiting for a chance to kidnap a sister off the streets. Sometimes these pigs even receive help from the illegitimate capiralists--the Black pimp who betrays his people for the lustful greed of capitalism. It was shortly after midnight, Wednesday, September 16th when a sister Living in the Orchard Park Housing Project of Roxbury re- turned from work and decided to walk her dog before going to bed. As she was leaving the building she sawtwo pigs approsching her -- ft seems there was some sort of disturbance in the aparunent next to her's, and someone called the pigs. One of these dogs had the nerve to approach her with some madness about “keeping her company" while she walked her dog. About one hour later, as she was sitting in her living room, a knock came on the door, When she asked who was there a voice said ‘it’s the police.” This sister Lived alone and was still umder some unfounded {llu- sion that the police were basically in oar communities to help us, Thinking they had returned to fur- ther investigate the disturbance next door, she did not hesitate to open her door. However when she did, this low-lifed dog forced his way into her home and started spouting some madness about bow much he needed a sister. This pig went so far as to remove his gun and lay it on her TLV. Becase of this sister's ilu- sions about the police, her home was unequipped with the necessary tool of self-defense and she found erself at the mercy of this mad dog. But she soon became aware that the pigs have no mercy for Black people. After about 1/2 hour of being intimidated this pig was forced to leave because the dis- turbance started up against next door. This sister had to learn the true nature of a pig from direct experience, What we must realize is that what happens to one of us happens to all of us, SEIZE THE TIME BLACK PANTHER PARTY Boston Chapter Diana DOMESTIC FIGHT LEADS TO VS PEOPLE MELEE PIGS Un a Priday night in July on Geneva Avenue In Roxbury, Grove Hall area, 4n argument broke out between two Glack families, re- latives and friends Included. It came to blows between a brother and a sister. The people in the street and up In the Hall gathered to see the fight, Some {friends of the family jumped in. In a matter of seconds down Geneva Avenue came the fascist Boston Pig Department Szation #9 w the scene on cycles, in cruisers and wagons, 28 pigs were on the scene, Out of their cars they came with black jacks, pistols and mace to restore so- called “law and order’’. Not even investigating the situation, one Pig got right out of the car walked over to the people who were fighting and sprayed the brother and a few others in the face with A mace can, Another approached the crowd with pistol Grawn, rea- dy to kill, their primary {nstinct. The people continued to argue, and the pigs got very anxious, Then the pushing started and black jacks came loose from Black pig's pock- ets. It all ended up with the brother and sister getting busted and held with charges of ‘’dis- turbing the peace’’ and “assault on a pig.”’ We couldn't even politicize with the people they were too busy fighting with each other. The pigs could have shot upthe whole street but they wouldn't have been able to deal with the situation. Mal- — colm said, “if you want to ar- gue go in the closet don’t do fr out there in from of the oppres- sor. *' In this case, we have to stop fighting cach other and de- ter our energy and begin recog- nizing the real enemy. It’s not your other half or your sisters or your brothers. The power structure has put us here inthe Black communities like caged ani- mals causing friction and spread- ing mistrust and hate among us so that we will fight, kill and rob from each other thus not giv- ing us a chance to know who is really behind the whole thing. So I'm spelling it out for you, Don’t be fighting with yourselves when- the bullets start flying and the tanks are rolling down the street. We can rise up together and face the real enemy and be walt- ing for him when he vamps; armed for self. 0. 91. ant ae ing our real oppressor, not our= selves, but the pigs! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Lydia jostoa Chapeer 3lack Panther Party 23 Winthrop Street Roxbury, Mass, THE SURVIVAL OF HUMAN BEINGS CANNOT BE DETERMINED BY CAPITAL AVAILABLE Oppression, economic orracial, is meted our by the pigs of Baby- lon in many different forms. Be- cause our everyday life is a p litical education class, we see « learn to resist many of the atro- cious forms of oppression exem- Plified by the fascists of Babylon, As we walk down the many streets in ghettos scross America, we see all the forms of oppression of people of color. We see blatant murders of our youth by drugs or from the barrels on .357 mage nums; we see many families «ho are sheltered in housing unfit for humans; we see children who inder-nourished because their 6 are unable to muke thar big ‘*buck"* to get the proper foods, Regardless of the types or forms of oppression in America they all leac a harsh and many times a short life for the oppressed, Mrs. Joan Watkins of Street in Boston, a mo’ 4-menth old chiki, jority of B Seaver ier of a like the rm other Blecks in Bost saw the vicious ness of a greedy pig on October 9, 1970. Mrs. Wat- kins is a welfare reciplent whose gas and electricity was shut off because she didn't have enoug money to pay the bill, Mrs, War- king after finding her utilities not functioning, called the Boston Edi- fon Company, She explained to them that without gas and elec- tricity that there was no way for her to sterilize her young baby’s bottles or to feedthem, The secre- tary at Boston Edison responded only with the sounds of dollars and cents that Mrs. Watkins owed on the bill. How can the very sur- vival of a human be compared with money owed? After Listening to this madness Mrs. Watkins called many more times to Boston Edison requesting to speak to a larger pig there. Each time she was refused and twice the phone was hung up In her face, Being 4 welfare recipient, Mrs. Watkins called the welfare depart- meng to get money to pay the utility bills. They refused her the money. This whole incident showed Joan Watkins that America doesn’t care for its people and thag through forms of oppression such as this, hat in fact the rulers of America (the businessmen who own com- panies such as Edison) are leading fascist America to its doom, To counter this plan of the Amer- ican pigs we now have the Black Panther Party which says in the Voice of the People thag we no longer belive that our lives ure meant to be lived in tie iniumane fashion of our 400 year history ere in Babylon, And to change these conditions we have nothing but a slave's life to sacrifice for yur freedom.

The lateness of the hour is due to the fact, not only are these brothers in the program, they work in the community organ- izing others. The brothers noticed these pigs harassing this sister, sO naturally they approached the Scene to check it out, All of asud- den there were pigs coming from everywhere olnking. The only thing the brothers did was to ask what the harassment was about, The Pigs said something abour the sis- ter was honking her horn too loud ly. Then the pigs threw every- one in jail--tial, Charles and the sister, The charges were as follows: The sister, it is still not clear what sort of charge can come out TALES OF TERROR in thelr hands, They would not let me pass the Hving room to sec my Injured daughter. When 1 was finally released I checked my daughter to see how she was, Then | went into my bedroom and found them (pigs) searching everything, dresser drawers, coat pockets, etc. (Ed. note, the pigs were supposedly looking for an AR-15 rifle.)

HAND IN HAND WITH THE OPPRESSOR The administration at the Wood- row Wilson J.H.S, in Dorchester, Mass, has joined the ranks of the physical oppressors in this coustry. This choo} has lately been the scene of heavy racial tension. The kind that is frequent throughout the deep south, OnSeptember 22nd, two sisters were walking home from school when a middle-aged plg racist jumped from his car, and started to beat this 15 year old sister, When he thought he had had enough fun, he called his son (who ts in his twenties) onto the scene to join in om the fun. The other sister then picked up achain and righteously started to defend her comrade and herself. These two pigs had to retreat from the scene. A so-called routine inves- tigation went on and the local pre- cinct hogs (under pressure from the Black community) picked up a suspect and notified the mother of the molested girl, they didn’t want to know the mother"s address or anything like that. In other words, they really weren't interested fn apprehending and convicting atrue criminal. The next two days at this school were stirred with racial violence. There have been beatings of bro- thers and sisters by gangs of ra- cists that just lay in the streets waiting for the opportunity to go COMMUNITY On Friday night, October 9, 1970, one pig was killed andewo wounded, during an attempted robbery in Oakland, California, The attempted robbery took place in the downtown section of town, One suspect was killed and another fled to the Lake Merritt section (where police reports state he later tock his own life), The Lake Merritt Section is considered a nice, clean place. kt ts separated from the Black community of West Oakland by factories and busi- nesses, freeways and traintracks. Uf this incident bad taken place in West Oakland we know from past experience that storm troopers wouki have come into the com- munity 200 to 300 strong with auto- matic weapons, terrorizing the community, but how gentle and discreet the Oakland cops and Highway patrol were of the white middle class residents, They were middie class residerss, There were no innocent old people terrorized, there were no mothers and babies who got their front doors kicked in, no window glass shot out, broke out, every inch of the luxury apartment housing where the suspect was ‘holed up’ was left in meticulous coriition. There were no tour gas grenades or tracer bullet holes, The cops did not even call the firemen to burn the suspect out, even though one cop was dead, I stutethe above to say this, on that speing aight of April 6, 1968, when our bro- ther ‘Lil’ Bobby Hutton, age 17 years, was murdered, by Oakland cops and the Alameda Coumy posse, the 1400 block on 28th street ran blood, Yes blood from brave Black men, no cop lay dead, yet every house on that block contained bullet holes. Many old people, and mothers with their children were teargassed and terrorized. Many Black peopie’s homes were com- mandeered by the cops who made war on all the Black people of our community, while they unmerci- ete ea a aii ‘nigger baiting’. Everyday after school is let out the streets are ined with racists just waiting for their opportunity. They antagonize people and just generally try to run amuck over these brothers and sisters, ‘The administration hangs the blame on the small population of Blick students, They question them, trying to intimidate false~ statements out of them. This is purely gestapo style] These pigs are showing Glack people that they really aren't interested inthe edu- cation of students, regardless of ethnic differences, bat only In the repudiation of fair school at their own Interests.

It is bullet riddled and half burned out by terrorizing brute cops who totally ignored all Black human beings while they (the pigs) pursued their genocidal occupation of our community. ht is such a contrast, when on October 9, 1970, the same cops with one of their own dead at the hands of white suspects, kept an almost silent vigil, The manners were gentle and above-board just the opposite of how they act in the Black community. These cops patiently waited for the suspect to surrender, Not eventhe manicured lawns were disturbed by the cops. No tear gas, no busted windows or kicked in doors, can't you see the contrast? I do, and 1 refterate Point #7 of the Black Panther Party's 10-point Platform and Pro~ gram: We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of Black people. . We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by organizing black self-defense that are dedicated to de- fending our black community from racist police oppression and bru- tality, The Second amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms, We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense, Community Control of the Police is the answer to stop the police from terrorizing Black people in the Black community, while they treat white suspects with kidgloves inthe white middle-class community .

Because the country is operated oy the machinery of capizalism.

They managed to kidnap one young brother Larry Palmer, 13 years old and beat him with blackjacks and billy clubs on the way to the pig pen #10. They told him, ‘'Mr. Nigger, we're going to throw you into Jamaica Plain Pond, and no one will know the difference,’ After booking him and making him sign all different Kinds of papers, these racist red- necked crackers told him “‘if you tell anyone, we'll tie you to a tree where the White people live and let them stone you to death."

For our young revolution- aries there isn't even such a thing as a trial since a fascia pig jucke is the one who decides our younger brothers and sisters fate.

The fascist guards love to call the brothers “‘boy’, ‘‘nigger’’, and other racial slurs. And when the brotiers speak for their human- ity they are viciously beaten and brutalized, sometimes these pig guards beat them to satisfy their sadistic appetites. If the young bro- thers speek up for their rights too loud they are thrown in a dirk, empty room to sleep on the cold floor for the night, One time this young brother tried to escape from the hole and the door was slammed on his hand, Then he had to take care of him- self (which isn’t unusual since the inmates hardly ever get any med- ical core), The doctor only gives om pills or cough syrup and an inmate hus to be on the verge of death before he is taken to the hospital.

In true capitalistic fashion, the pig businessmen were ready to kill Black school childres to protect their “‘prvare property”. Armed vigilante groups of the fascist ma- jority were set up to patrol the area along with increased pig patrols, That well known rorund (faz) racist, Louise Day Hicks re- presenting the Boston City Coun- cll told the group, knowing thatthe Black parengs weren't even in- vited, “It is obvious by the turn out that some people care about their chiktren and others don’t."’ For the people of JarmaicaPlains Projects, this whole incident ex- plodes for once and for all, the so-called ‘‘constitutional rights” to free public education. Subjected to bad housing conditions at home, parems cannot even enjoy the “hu- man right’ to feel safe sending their children to school. Pigs of all kinds have clearly shown chat they will terrorize, intimidate and even kill, Such is the nature of the combinagion of racism andcap- italism for the Black residents of J.P. projects.

This violence is necessary in order that the pigs maintain the fear instilled in us for a period of 400 years. This violence is institutionalized and made a permanent part of our lives, Hunger is vlolence; inade- quate medical attention is violence; urfit shelfrer is violence; and all this violence is perpetrated by 4 vicious economic system (capital- ism) which grinds and molds hu- beings to flr into designated . This violence is geared to rit, to bend our knees, to make u bimissive to the ban= dits who have kidnapped us, placed us in labor colonies, and main- tained us in this position thru acts of violence, In one word--genocide] break our We must understand these acts of violence and raise the level of awareness of brothers and sisters in the community tothe pole where we challenge the very machinery that is our most visible sign of oppression. When we say ‘All Power to the People,’ we have to think of functional and practical machinery which can make this a reality. Empty words are hollow with no Substance, the rhetoric of power to the people will not get us our freedom, Whar will, is the uncompromising support of all cur people in our just struggle for liberation. In Berkeley, the Community Control of Police Petition will be on the April Ballot and if passed ie would mean thar the people in the Black community would be in a strategic position to take the Struggle to a higher level. if passed, the people of the com- munity would immediagely elect 4 neighbortiood council composed of 15 councilmen who would then elect a police commissioner and all po- licemen from the comununities from which they live, This would Pigs broke latch off door mean that the office of Police Chiet while breaking in, would be abolished and all per- sommel would be chosen from the Blick community. i would mean thar the people in the form of neighborhood councils would de= cide standards of conduct, policy, and not some city minager who ig not an elected official, but ap- pointed by the financial interest of Berkeley. On paper this would mean that the people wouk! have the necessary power to check the conduct of those who act in the manner of murderers and mad- men. They wouk! have complete recall powers to discipline any- one who kicked down 4 sister's door and bretalized her kids or murdered her brothers. But of course we know thar a petition, or any piece of paper which guarantees us our freedom will be ignored. And of course we know that the only way in which we will win our just strug- gic is to do as the MPLA in Aagola; NLF, in North Vietnam wad the Palestinian Liberation Frowt in the Middle East, to pick up the gun, to increase our fire power and move against the work empire~-Babylon. So it’s up to the People in the Black colony to sup- port the petition, exercise their constitutional right by bearing a shot-gun In every home, und when the pigs say we ain't got to im- Plement the desires of the People, we will say, “We have a deed which says we can do anything we want to dol!

Nobody knows exactly when the pigs were able to pull off such a degrading act, but right now all char is second- ary. Our primary goal (in re- lationship to this latest pig man- euver) is to render this part of the enemy's information arm, in- operable. Granted, the pigs are using the best technological equip- ment available to man, but it is to no avail if these fools think they can so belligerently carry out their fascist methods of work, without me sort of response from the masses.

There on the steps of the church on Warren Street was 4 brother from the community that we all knew, He wus lying there in 4 sprawled out fashion motionless, and rigid, On fur- ther investigation his eyes were in 4 fixed state, he was very cold Uke he had been there for a long time; he had a very weak pulse and did not answer to his name, At first some of us suspected he had passed out from alcohol; others suspected drugs, anywiy we all decided that we had better get him off the steps be- fore the pigs did. We picked him up and began to walk him to- wards the community center, The blood could hardly stand up on his feet. We kept telling him not to worry, that he was with the peo- ple and everything was cool, We brought him inside and layed him down and covered him up with a warm blanket. I checked his heart beat and it was way below nor- mal also his breathing was strange NO LONGER The Black Panther Party will always strive to maintain a level of pracitce of serving the people. In order to do this the Harlem Branch of the Black Panther Par- ty has purged two individuals whose bad habits and half heertedness does net mect up to the vevolu- tionary standards. Chery] Foster was functioning out of the Harlem Branch of the Black Panther Party, She was purged for showing 4 luck of dedi- cation and her bed habits, she was also dealing with Distribution, the books have never balanced, Em- berzling is the charge for monies not being turned in. Ronald D, Hester, is no longer « member of the Black Panther Party, by constantly showing « sounding. One of the brothers knew about drug effects and suggested that he not lie down because this would further slow down his breathing and heartbeat, that we should walk him around. We took him outseide an walked him up and down the street very fast checking his vital signs at fre- quent intervals. Someone said check and. see if he Is clean. When we stopped and Jooked in his pockets, we found a very large number of ‘ups’ and "downs We saved 4 sample of each and immediately took the brother to the People’s Free Health Center. On the way we shook him constant- ly to make sure he did noe go into a deep sleep. When we arrived at the clinic, they were having some difficulty with the ge- merator that supplies the electri- chty for the lights In the center, So we walked the brother around a while longer. Once he was ine Side the doctor gave him a quick exam that showed his heart rate had Increased somewhat. He was given some special medicarion, mailene and some dextrose and water, by vein. The brother was still only responding to deep sti- mulation lke a pinch or a slight slap on the face, As the night FUNCTIONING WITH RONALD HESTER desgard for the principles whic guide our party, he has proved be- yond a doubt that he is not worthy of being 4 part of our branch, His comrades attempted to give him another chance to prove him- self by putting him on working sus- pension. He failed to abide with the principles of the party, thus resulting in the violation of rule no, 4ofthe Bleck Panther Party, Be on the book out for these progressed he did get better. The point I would like to make is that we in the Black communi- ty have to be more concerned about each other. k doesn’t matter ifthe brother was drunk or whatever. He is a brother and he needed help, What if he had died or the pigs picked him up and probably beat him up amd took him to one of their racist hospitals, This arti- tude of ‘'] don’t want to get In- volved’ or let the police handle fit, has to end. If we don’e look out for each other and care for each other then it will be our doom because no one else is going te. So the meat time you see a brother or sister in need, hel them out. You might even have saved their jjfe. Don't look at the situation as just another drunk or addict but as your brother or sister. ALL LOVE AND POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Here, the Black population is both politically and memally in bondage. As a very young sister said to a brother on the corner the other night, **There are still chains on youe- ut they are invisible."’ Many of the Black inhabitants on Nixon's plamation dare not think anything which challenges the White wall- to-wall carpet decorum of middle class America, And those who do are offered one of the master’s shiny trinkets and told to be quiet. Many of these sellous function under “Black and Pride” disgul- ses, while actually waving thered, white and bhlie; thus perpetrating madness among the masses of Blick people. So the oppressed people have watched so-called lib- erators come andgo with anunder- standing, “"I told you so” attitude. The political oppression is covered up with such nonsense as a non-elected ‘‘mayor"’, « presi- dentially @Nixon and his goons) appointed city council, ani NOW they b the audacity to offer us 4 no iting delegate to Congress How in the hell can someone go to represent you at something if n’t have the power to vote, ck on the plantation, nayor, Walter Wash- ‘ he doe Meanwhile, the "Black" ington, continues to condone and resid ver this state of absurdity with « beaten dog look. if any group of people need a new aStitution, the people of Wash- ington, D.C, stand at the top of the list, fer Article 1, Section 5, of the present document, the executive and legislative authority for the District of Columbia is 5.

He followed this action with the appointment of Frederick Douglass as Marshall of the District of Columbia, This same form of tokenism continues today creating the illusion of pro- gress and justice, Of those who sit at the govern~ ment’s table, the White racist ruling class dines first with a full course meal, the mostly White working class proletarian class eats secon on the ieft-overs, and then the Black and other op- pressed minority groups come into clean up, So what this new con- stitution woukd do is re-arrange the dining order and giver every- one an equal chance at the table-- except those who insist on being greedy. To cominue under the kind of oppression which Washington, D.C, has inflicted upon its residents, as well as the freedom loving peo- ple of the world, is to condone slow racial genocide, This is the pro- cess one sees in a junkie’s eyes on 4 street corner, in a welfare mother’s figure from too starchy a diet, on the face of a Black school child whose White mis-education belittkes and confuses him, in a government clerk's materialistic ang-upe which keeps him at the nerey of the avaricious business- men in hopes that a new stereo will relieve his anxieties, or in the 120% American attitudes of the mod squad algyer pig agents, To see through this madness and to act accordingly is to acquire the tools of liberation andto dounto the pigs before they do unto us, BLACK PANTHER PARTY Washington, D.C, Chapter Lorella Langberg Community Weeker +1 ath Reetemses © ethene ate teal Te dee Reet po arn a+ cyrteens - yi t THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24,1970 PAGE 10 TOURE’S DEATH MOTIVATED MANY TO EMULATE HIS PRACTICE WALTER “TOURER” POPE The Black Panther Party has Seen approximately thirty of its revolutionaries go down in the mame of freedom and liberation Since its inception. Inthe Southern Califoraia Chapter, eleven bro- thers have sacrificed their lives for the people and the struggle. Last year at this time, a beautiful revolutionary, a dedicated worker . and 4 true servant of the People, had his Mfe snatched away by _ members of the local, reactionary Pig force. This brother was known to all his comrades as “Toure. Toure, in his brief period in the ‘Black Panther Party, exemplified _ the courage, steel-willed cever- mination, and love and concern for his people, that every revolu- onary should possess, No sacri- fice was too great for this beloved brother = and be gave the ultimate Sacrifice - his life, Toure joined the Black Panther Party after his release from Tracey State Penitentiary in March of 1969, He bad been in Several youth camps most of his life because he was never able to comply with or condone the evils of this society which oppresses and exploits us. He chose, instead, to resist this power Structure, which consequently led to his lengthly incarceration, While in the peni- temiary he read the writings of Nkrumah, Mao, Fanon, etc, and acquired an ideological foundation which sustained him uring his in- carceration. He also became acquainted with the Black Panther Party and decided to join ite ranks and make the Party and the Struggle his life, after his release, Toure displayed initiurive and courage from the time he joined the Party until his death, He set Some beautiful examples, for in- I MONTHS 4 MONTHS ONE YEAR (Deeose print) 13 Issuts) 26 ISSUES) 52 ISSUPS) NAME ADORESS STATE ZIP @ PLEASE MAIL CHECK (Of MONEY ORDER TO .

He realized the necessity of the “wolce of the Panther being heard throughout the land’ and worked very diligently towards increasing the circulation of the paper. These racist pigs quickly recognized Toure’s strength and devotion, and saw him as a threat to their security, They wasted no time in murdering this brother, mistakenly thinking thar by killing 4 Strong revolutionary, they would kill the desire for freedom which burns in the hearts of all op- Pressed people, But once again it was proven that you can kill a re- volutionary, but you cannot stifle the destre for freedom. Toure’s sacrifice and contri- bution to our just struggle for Lib- eration will never be forgotten be- cause his ideas are manifested within the people. From the blood that spilled from his body that October night, sprang new courage aad determination on our part to imensify the struggle. The pigs suffered a defeat when they mur- dered Toure because many people, brothers and sisters off the block, loved him and related to his Practice. His death motivaged many to try and emulate his prac- tice and join in the Struggle. As David Hilliard, Chief of Staff of the Black Panther Party, said at Toure’s gravesite, “There willbe tens of thousands of Toures” and we will never stop struggling until victory is ours, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Southern California Chapter Black Paraher Party INTRY PIG AGGRESSION The Baltimore Pig Departmen once again showed its vicious and «animalistic nature toward Black people on Tuesday, October 13, 1970. The people of the com- mualty were demonstrating against the racist dehumanizing prison system which brutalizes and op- presses so many of our broshers aad sisters, not only in Baltimore but all over America, The people were marcing and singing to give Suppert to the brothers and sisters in the Maryland Penitentiary, and to show that they care and under- stand the debasement to which the inmates are being subjected. Most of the brothers and sisters in the mininur security prisons are Subjected to more pig brutality than the rest of us In this mini- mum security prison (America). In addition to this, most of the srothersand sisters are being held trumped-up charges, at unreasonable balls which amount to ransom, am! have not beentried b jury of their peers. Although it 18 well-known chaz the conditions of the Maryland State Penitentiary Gig sty) are arrock arxi that the pig guards who maintain this m are both racist and brutal elr treatment of the prison- ers, this am! other oppressive In- Stitutions are allowed to continue Uus madness unchecked, The rally that Tuesday, began @t about 4:30 p.m. and proceeded in single file and in a peaceful manner from Eager Street, around the community. About 50 pigs, in- cluding head-pig Captain Grover, had been called out to maintain “law amt order’ at the demon- stration, Because the rally was So peaceful and orderly, the pigs created an excuse (is usual). One foul pig started It off by having the audacity to put his slimy hands on brother James (Carl) Owens, pinning the brother's arms behind his back and shouting, ‘‘al- right, break this up, break it up,"* The brother proceeded to inform the pig that he could not break ir up because it was not his rally, it was the people's rally. The low- natured beast took this as an excuse to begin viciously beating and clubbing the brother, Minutes later a group of pigs attacked sis- ter Angela Hatten, beating ber in the face and back with their clubs, Mfter this the sadistic appetites of the animalistic dogs were really stirred up and they went wild, A group of pigs viciously attacked and brutalized brother Baloti, beating the brother to the ground, Ar this point, bead-pig Grover gave the order, and the rest of the 40 or So pigs began to beat and chase other members of the rally, and also innocent by-standers In the community. The pigs resorted to this low, beutal form of bestality even though women, oki people, and linle chikiren were involved he rally. z Ate a crowd had been dis- persed, the pigs rode around the community in thelr paddy wagons, Picking up anyone who they found still in the area, This is why the incident resulted in 22 arrests. It must be pointed out that the constitutional rights of all of the people brutalized and arrested that fay were flagrantly violated, (1) If this government were truly of and for the people, k would not be necessary to demonstrate for human rights and dignity which the people expect. These things would be giveo naturally as normal constinitional guarantees, (2) The people have a constiru- Uonal right to peaceful assembly and to demonstrate without being harassed and brutalized by the pigs. : (3) 25,000 ransom was imposedon all of the 22 people arrested at the rally, The constitution explicit- ty states that unreasonable bail shall mot be placed upon a citizen after arrest. This high bail is unreasonable because the average Poor person would never be able to raise ir. This is why we the people of Babylon feel the needfor a mew constitution in this racist lard, which will take our desires and needs into consideration, Our present constitution, as it is im- Plemented by the pig power srruc- ture protects only the rights of the wealthy, bourgeoisie class in this society.

Can you imagine a pig who has con- doned the murder and brutality of the people here in Oakland, a pig who has violated all the constitutional rights of our people, now saying that our at- tempts to free one of our people from their foul clutches is wiconstitutional, The only fitting answer to this fas- cist could be that we will have our freedom, or Babylon w."! 52 destroyed in our attempts to gain it, inden oo on 2 ee ee w REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE’S CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION NOVEMBER 27, 28 & 29, 1970 WASHINGTON, D.C. ro a Te, | ot. we Hip Early Wednesday morning, Sept. 9, 1970, a “‘scouting team" of So-called policemen the doors of the Ea ast Dis- tribution Office of the Black Pan- ther Party at 101-16 Northern Blvd, with their guns unholstered and with the intentions of shooting their way into our office!

Some members of our branch went to investigate the situation. When we arrived on the scene we found the area already staked Out by an estimated one hundred ~ pigs, all of whorn were prepared to deal with the addicts in their formal brutal way. ~The pigs were already talking with the addicts inside the bar- ricade, but they wouldn't allow Anyone else to communicate with them. Two hostages were taken by the addicts, but they were re- leased within the hour, One of our members, Ronald, and my- self talked with the hostages, Russell und Kelley, They told us thar they were not treated badly at all, bur they were shook up. However, the pig media claims they were injured by the addicts inside the center which proved to be nothing more than a prison. The men inside the center are fenced in and there are security guards watching over them sec- VOICES OF BRANCH To the people of all communi- ties; hear what the bloods have to say about this mad system. The fascist pig system of justice and equality for the bloods here are Somewhat cortrary to what know- ledge the community has of the Pig's media. This is what the pigs call justice and equality for the bloods here; rising with the dawn to reach the court premises inthe late afternoon and never reaching the court room, this is our jps- tice? What of our equalities ? there is no such thing as quality or jus- tice in the pigs institutions for the bloods waiting to be cried. This is why the revolutionary brothers MaGee, Williams, Mc- Jain and Jackson took that stand against the gestapo system, the pig system! This is also why thebro- thers in the (Tombs) were very rebellious, Still there was no jus~- tice and equality. This ts why the people of the communities must hear the voices of tie bloods with - in these walls, for without the sup- port of the people there will never be no justice for the oppressed people incarcerated by the mad **pigs’’. Speaking of justice, well this is what Hitler called justice += for the Jews; putting them In gas ing that they don’t get any fur- ther than the front door. The men are put there by the courts and very few of them are there on their own. What these men who wert there on their own found was mot a drug addiction center, but a prison in a Black com- munity and they were subjected to prison-like treatment. An official for the security guards, a Black lackey by the name of Frank Williams claimed that the guards are there to help these addicts. But we were in- formed by some of the people in the community that some of the addicts have been brutally bea- tem. Addicts are placed in this So-called center until the courts decide if they are drug addicts, Ik is the courts who decides who gets treatment for drug addiction amd who goes to jail for crimes they are charged with. There is no separation between those addicts who have volun- teered for the aid they thought they would get at Edgecombe, and those who have criminal] charges chambers, well this is what the “*PIGS” are doing to all the bro- thers and sisters throughout the country; but the techniques are somewhat different bet the form Is still mass genocide, The Bloods here dre trying through the Black Panther Party to reach all bloods that are In- carcerated by the “pigs” within all the concentration camps that the time is at hand to rebel a- gainst the “‘pigs’’ system and bring it to its destruction.

As Chairman Mao pointed out, it is time to "'Cast Away Ilbusions, Prepare For Struggle.” The logic for our situation is simple and clear. Black people in this country were originally de- Signated a cheap labor force, We served that purpose for over 300 years in this country. Black people were in overt (outward) bondage for over 300 years. Inthe past 105- 110 years since that shackle slay- ery, Black people have served as &@ labor force capable of accom- plishing the tasks of advanced ci- vilization only by freeing our hands, feet, and backs, There has even been 4 freedom granted our minds by way of our historically recem cultural enlightment, Yet we cannot lose sight of the overall cunning of this vicious, corrupt system, a8 Malcolm X called it, We cannot be fooled into thinking that the power structure has just overlooked us with the excepeion of the Black Panther Party, There is a plan. There is a disposal Plan, As Black people have served their purpose they are no longer ecded, How long do useless items collect in your house? Is 105-110 years long enough? May- bethere has been no facility for disposal, Maybethere has been no time. Well now is the time. The plan for genocide is clear, the time to oppose it is now, I say again, Black people in this country are no longer needed as @ labor force. A caplealistic sys- tem requires the implementation of the principles of conservation of resources. Black labor is ex- pendable; therefore, Black people are expendable. The disposal, known as genocide, is being im- plemented by monopoly capital's economic exploitation and the in- stitutionalized education of the masses to racism, Racism and capitalism are the tools of our Planned execution. The Party {s doing all it can to educate Black people to our presen situation and hopefully progressive White people will realize that thelr poor masses are next, Wf this was just a Black people's problem we might be doomed, but imperialism must op- press all the masses, Black people only manufacture $0 billion dol- lars for consumer use and this is petty cash. You willremember that White people have been killed too, They have only been allowed to think they belong to a privileged class, The masses of Black peo- ple have not been so fooled, Our oppression has been more open and now the pigs are moving to eliminate us, We have no choice but to Seize the Time, All Power Belongs to the People!

They ordered the pilot first to fly to Tel Aviv, then commanded him to take them to Damascus, Syria. All the plane 5s passengers except tor two Israel: men were allowed to leave the following day. The two Israelis were held in Da mascus for three months and then re turned to Israel in exchange for some Syrian pilots who had landed at an Israeli airfield by mistake earlier in the same year. The Syrians did not bring to trial the two hijackers but held them un der house arrest for forty-four days | ee this because it is the strategy of the popular front. We have to hit the imperialistic interests and this is one way to hit them. By hijacking an airplane we can tell the American government that the Palestinian resistance ts aware of whatever the American government is doing to support Israel.
