SATURDAY, 7 MINISTRY OF INFORMATION resusueD THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY iaeigsimnnst ee THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16,1970 PAGE 2 CAIRO, ILLINOIS BLACK COMMUNITY UNDER ATTACK The situation in Cairo, Lllinois ls extremely tense. This small Black community of three thou- sand brothers and sisters has been waging 4 Successful boycott of White businesses for the past 20 months. The situation there has become even more shaky since Blacks have formed the United Front and started the boycott. ‘The boyeorr began as a peaceful retaliation to White hostility but has now reached the point where in many cases, the brothers and sisters are trading bullet for bullet with militant White racists This is so much So that the sym- bol of the United Front has be- Come a gun and a bible. White snipers in Cairo ure uttacking Black people as well as Glack property. The Rev. Walter Garret, 23, of Cairo United Front and Wiley Anderson, 21, a Black GI, were both wounded by sniper fire into the Pyramid Court pro- Jects November Sth. Garret was treated at a Cairo hospital and was shortly released. Hospital officials said the minister was treated for “Injuries suffered from a fall." Brother Anderson, home on leave from the Army, was not as fortunate. He wis treated at a Poplar Bluff Missouri Homeies) for five gunshot wounds ed $! damage, Cairo is a small dusty delta town bounded by the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and the hills of Kentucky. Cairo’s population ts 6,000 people, half Black and half White. The economy of Cairo is extremely poor. Twenty-seven percent of the population (includ- ing Whites) ts on welfare and the unemployment rate is twelve percent, this Includes a thirty percent unemployment rate a- mong Blacks, lacks are jammed into the Pyramid Court projects. Fifty- six percent of Cairo’s housing has no plumbing and is made of cheap lumber and tarpaper chat burns Uke a match. Six bindred houses have been destroyed and only ten new ones built In the past ten years. The political situation in Cairo has been termed unstable." This is a result of twenty years of civil rights activity, Ik began in 1946 with 4 battle for equal pay for Black and White teachers. in 1963 Blacks fought to open up a public swimming pool. They won in court but the city closed the pool altogether. In 1965 when Blacks attempted to desegregate movie houses and bowling alleys, they were beaten and had their homes and cars burned. In 1967, 4 Black soldier was killed while in jail. A 72-year old man lack) gardener was bludgeoned to death with a base by preacher Lurry Ports. Potts claimed chat the old man was trying to rape his wife and of course the courts believed it. Potts got off clean.,. justi- fiable homicide."* The situation in Cairo has grown more unstable since the formation of the United Front in April 199. The United Front has demanded fifty percent control of all levels of political and socio-economic situations in the city. White re- action to the demands has been hostile, There have been 142 snip- er attacks on Pyramid Court by shooting, the White Hats have re- Sorted to arson attacks. They have destroyed a grain company which hired Slacks, & pentecostal Church, Pop's Sweet Shop and a Black owned tavern. The United Citizens for Community Action, a guise for the White Hats, has close ties with the White Citizens Councils of America (he Ku Klux Klan) and the American Nazi Par- ty. Even though poor Whites in the - eity have been suffering from the vast exploitation racism has pre- vented them from forming a coali- tion with Blacks. Even the U,F, program of giving food and clothing to poor Whites has not eased the racist animosity, UF SPOKESMAN Rev. Charles Koen says, “First the racism has to he destroyed, which is really 4 manipulation kind of thing with poor Whites, Until then you can't do it, They've been told that Blacks are the cause of their problems, And there’s no one there redefining things for them.” Although nearly everyone in Cairo is armed, the possibility of Black armed self defense does not seem overly feasible for now. Whites are still granted the priv- edge of legal violence against Blacks, No Whites have yet to be arrested for crimes against Black people. \Irhough Slacks appear to rule out violence, the sisters and brothers are by no means totally On September 14, 1969, they held a march to challenge a city council ordinance pro- hibiting gatherings of two or more people. As police met them and prepared to make arrests, rifles: emerged from the windows of the Pyramid Courts projects. An elderly woman with a Little girl at her side came out of her house, one hand on her cane, the other on her gun. She walked up to the police Mne and laid down her ultimatum: “If we can't get along, lets get ft on, One more step and [I'l] start."* The twenty long month war of attution is strangling what can be considered a dead city. The boy- cott has definitely hurt Cairo’s failing economy. Eight White bus- inesses have gone bankrupt, To quote one White businessman, “The boycort’s killing Calro.’ and a UF spokesman says, “If this continues through Christmas there’s gonna be a lot more busi- nesses closed,’’ White merchants admit their receipts have dropped forty percent. Blacks, due to a cooperative effort, are surviving the boycott better thanthe Whites. They travel either 32 miles west to Cape Giradeau, Missouri, or, 35 miles east to Paducak, Kentucky, to passive. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS TWO BROTHERS MURDERED BY FASCIST CHICAGO PIGS On Thursday, December 24, 1967, two brodiers were brutally murdece] by the fascist Chicago Police Depursnent, and a thied critieally welarted. Murdered were Willlam Curtis, b-years of age, Charles Williams, 17- years of age, and erieicallly wounded was Douatd Powell, 17- years of age, The tactics’used by the Chicago Pig Department wer> similar to those applied wiea Fred tiampton and Mark Clark were murdered, According to the pig's versios of the incident which appeared ia the "Dally Defender*’ newspaper, Willle Jones, 43-years of age, reported to the Chicago pigs that shop. The Chicago based Opera- tion Breadbasket has also pro-" — vided aid for the brothers and sisters, A team of Flying Black Medicg, also from Chicago, have st a free health care c’ for poor Blacks. But once again, only through a COOPERATIVE EFFORT sre our sisters and brothers able to survive, Without a cooperative effort among our- selyes, there can be no struggle. We must first unite before we can fight, The seige which has begun In Cairo is destined to be a long and bitter one. The White police and other racist plgs have shut off the electricity, water, and gas tothe Pyramid Court projects, along with their numerous sniper and arson attacks in un attempt to defeat this Black Community. The question isn’t how long they can hold out, but what are we as Black people going to do. We as a people must come to the ald of our gallant brothers and sisters of Cairo. We must truly realize und understand that an attack against one is an attack against all. Editorial by United Front Bulletin FREE BREAKFAST FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 7:30 A.M.

Chairman Bobby Seale and Ericka While the defendants, Black Pan- ther Party Chairman Hobby Seale and sister Ericka Huggins, sat through the 8th week of jury se- lection almost three additional jury panels were exhausted, With very few exceptions this week, the eleventh, twelth and part of the thirteenth panels of pro- spective jurors were exhausted with the very same, almost mechanical, responses as have all previous panels of prospective jruors. Every prospective juror had been exposed to pretrial publicity about the case and about the Black Panther Party, most of which was so strongly negative that 1) their prejudices formed against the Black |Panther Party could not be separated from their opinions of the defendants or 2) their “preconceived convic- tions’’ about the Party, the case or the defendants could not be erased and would so prevent them from entering this trial with a fair and open mind. One of the highlights of the week was the selection of the fifth Juror. She is 4 Slack mother of two, 30 years of age who works 4s 4 machinist. She did not appear to want to serve as a juror, and perhaps that was the reason she wis accepted by the prosecution. MOTIONS FILED On Monday, January 7, 197) at- torneys for Bobby and Ericka (Catherine G, Kor sback, Charles R, Garry and David N, Rosen) filed four motions relating to the present impossibility of Bobby and Ericka receiving a fair trial. die motions ure listed below, along with the thelr attorney: guve for their 5 reason cing tate. for the following reasons: 1, The panels contain no citi- zens over the age of 18 butunder the age of '21, although such citizens are eligible to vote and to serve on juries. 2. The panels contain no citi- zens who have attained the age of 21 in approximately the last year although such citizens are eligible to vote and serve on juries and many of them have in fact re- gistered, 3. Exclusion of these young citizens from the rolls of pro- spective jurors violates the defen- dants’ rights to a fair trial, and ands impartial = jury of their peers which 1s truly a re- presentative cross-section of the community, in violation of the Con- stitution of the State of Connec- ticut and of the United States, WHEREFORE the defendants move to supplement the jruy panels with significant numbers of citizens berween the ages of 18 and 22, MOTION TO DISMISS JURY PANEL The defendants herein, by their attorneys move to dismiss the jury panel summoned to appear for ser- vice January 4, 1971, and all fur- ther panels cliosen from the 1970- 1971 array, and for the following further reasons; 1. The panels thus far chosen iniformly underrepresented the Black citizens of New Haven, Only 17, or 3.4% of the 500 jurors chosen were observed to be Black while the population of the City of New Haven 1 ipproxtinately one- third [lack vt of New Haver County is approximately ten per cent iilick, ®.

Their exclusion there- fore deprives the defendants of a fair and impartial jury of their peers and of a fair trial in vio- lation of the Constitution of the State of Connecticut and of the United States. MOTION OF DISMISS RE PREJUDICIAL. PUBLICITY The defendants herein, by their attorneys, hereby renew their pre- trial motions to dismiss re pre- judicial publicity for all the rea- sons stated in those motions and for the following further reasons: l. Voir dire of the first 500 jurors has shown that massive pub- licity has created an atmosphere in which the defendants cannot get a fair trial by o representative and impartial jury. 2. Hostile and prejudicial pub- licity about the defendants and the Black Panther Party continues to be by governinent sources including the Director of the Federal Bureau of lnvestigation, thereby preventing diminish- ing of community prejudice. generated tie MOTION TO BAR EXERCGE OF PREEMPTORY CHAL- LENGES BY THE STATI The defendants, by their attor- neys, move the Court to bar the prosecution from excusing jurors preemptorily for the reason that premptory challenges are designed for the accused a fair right to to secure trial; the prosecution's challenge jurors premprtoril; !

He was sentenced to serve 12 - 15 years in the Stare’s Prison. Since his conviction, Lonnie has been consistently sub- jected to cruel and unusual pun- ishment in the State’s prisons.

Connecticut State Chapter Black Panther Party THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16, 1970 PAGE 4 A talk with Martinez, hunted jail ex-inmate Last October, more than 1,000 prisoners in five New York City lock-ups took 23 prison guards hostage in an unarmed insurrec- tion protesting prison conditions, The rebellion began at Branch Queens House of Detention, where prisoners seized control of all but the ground floor. Puerto Rican and Black Nation flags dyed on bedsheets fluttered from broken windows, and the men inside sat by the windows giving fists. Victor Martinez, a soft-spoken Puerto Rican and a member of the Young Lords Party, was one of the men chosen by the inmates at Queens to carry on negotiations with city officials. The other two inmates chosen were Ken Sender, white, and Robert Drake, black. When city officials promised prison reforms and no reprisals, the prisoners believed them and surrendered the hostages. Repri- sals in the form of continual gass- ings, beatings and murders have gone on ever since. Ken Sender nearly died for his beating, and Robert Drake has a broken ankle. A month after the insurrection, indictments for kidnaping and conspiracy to murder came down on two dozen prisoners who the state decided were ringleaders Victor Martinez, out on bail, was one of them, Shortly alter, this interview, fearing for his life if he — shoud be jailed again, he went underground. He speaks in the interview as a member of the Inmates Liberation Front, which grew out of the re- bellion and now operates both in- side and outside the jails. ST. LOUIS, MO. Liberation News Service Question: Was it hard to organ- ize at the Men's House of Deten- tion in Queens? Answer: In every type of organ- ization there must be a way of for- mulating things and one of the things that we found was that or- ganization can't exist prior to education. One of the basic things that we started was setting up educational programs and politi- cal science classes Q: How would you get togeth- er? A: We had a series of classes, mornings or afternoons, We would gather in the shower or we would take the last cell on the floor and sit on the floor. Or we would sit at a table and spread out a deck of cards. If the guard came by he would assume that we were play- ing cards, while we were really discussing political science Q: Did the guards try to divide people racially? A: They tried to divide and con- quer. It was an obstacle, but it was easy to overcome. All of us were locked up and were being deprived of basic human rights As soon as we were able to ex- plain this to the men, they couldn't go along with the guards Q: ‘Tell ‘us about the ILP» (Ine mates Liberation Front) A: ILF was founded in the Tombs back in May. We began as a committee of two people, which grew to four and then kept multi- plying until we were able to or- ganize the complete ninth floor ,ate legal action in thé prisons We started at the time of the first Tombs rebellion. After the rebel- lion we were transferred to the Queens House of Detention. The guards there labeled us as the ring- leaders of the Tombs rebellion We began organizing again, We had a local newspaper, The In- mates Forum, through which we spread propaganda — our plans, education activities and political views. It was a secret paper. We have no doubt that the police got copies of it. Nonetheless the pa- per was still circulating. Q: How did you print it? A: The paper was printed by hand, by men on the different tiers. We didn't have a mimeo- graph machine or typewriter. Men would print in shifts. Some- body would have the job for the morning and somebody else would do it in the afternoon. Before we knew it, we had a circulation of 150 to 200 copies The paper was bought in the commissary. The purchasing of paper and pencils was under the ministers of finance who were assigned to every floor Q: How does the ILF now func- tion? A: On the outside we're getting lawyers for inmates and setting up a dete committee to coordin and community. We take complaints from neighborhood people who are being harassed by police and get lawyers for them. We write to prison inmates and collect funds for commissary, clothing — PAUL WOOLEN BRUTALLY SHOT AND BEATEN BY THE CITY PIGS OF ST.

Brother Farrell opened his door and warmly welcomed them with a face full of ammonia which sent them running blindly. Shortly after thar, Pig Com- missioner Bozo Rizzo converged on Farrell's apartment with approximately 75 pigs that used tear-gas to succeed [n carrying out their eviction. Wallace Lee Farrell, another black man who would no longer be subjected to the pig's harrassment hasbeen jailed unjustly. Farrell is not guilty of any crime, his only crime is that he related to his human right to life. In so doing, he defended himself with the material he had at hand, a pan of ammonia, ‘'Every door that the fascist attempt to kick down will put them deeper into the pit of death}"’ We must begin to organize our communities and unite around the issue of self-defense and be- gin to take on measures to sufe- guard our communities against fascist occupying police thatkick down our doors in attempts to brutalize and murder us.

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16, 1970 BLACK PIG CAPTAIN Recently, to add shine to pig commissioner Rizzo's boots, Lindsay made a public state- ment directed at the Black community, He demanded that the people of the Black community Stop criticizing the police force and “‘get an education and then join the force.’’ He went on to add, ‘Commissioner Rizzo is the best thing that ever happen- ed to the police department and the Black policeman has never had a better opportunity than he has now,”" The people of the Philadelphia Black community, however, can- not overlook the blatant atroc- ities that Rizzo and his regime have perpetrated against them. They recognize Slack Captain Lindsay as a pig and have learned through practice that the only way to deal with a pig is to eliminate him. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Philadelphia Branch Black Panther Party at knife point. The same racist jury took two hours to decide on the sentence, and came up with.J,500 years in jall, the longest known prison term for a single offence in racist Bbaylon, The point thar should be borne in mind here are: (1) He was not tried by a jury of his peer group which comes as no surprise when Black peo- ple are being tried in the racist courts of Sabylon. This is the reason for point No. 9 (‘We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried In court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States."") of the Black Panther Party Platform and Program.

When sentences like these are being handed down it {s crystal clear that the pigs of the power Structure and their lackeys mean to show us as they have done for the past 400 years that we are not human beings. Ir should be clear to us that relating to these courts is a farce, This should be the first and last time that such an inhumane act occurs to any of our people.

The complete pamphlet will be published shortly by the Black Panther Party. ORGANIZING SELF-DEFENSE D.C., Field Marshall, Black Panther Party, shaking hands with a freedom fighter from an African Liberation Front DEDICATION I dedicate these notes tothe memory | of Brother Jonathan Jackson and Com- | rade Carlos Marighella, I also named | my son, who was born by Barbara on August 18, 1970, Jonathan Carlos Cox, Brother JonathanJackson was the 17- year old Afro-American revolutionary who went off into that fascist court- ‘room in Marin County, California and |} executed the first contemporary political kidnapping in Babylon, He was cut down in his finest hour during his escape by those fascist pigs who have no regard for humanity. Following the example of Brother Jonathan, we will truely free all political prisoners! Comrade Carlos Marighella was a Brazilian revolutionary who partici- pated in the first\ kidnapping of an | American ambassador in exchange for political prisoners, He was ambushed by the fascist pigs in Brazil on No- vember 4, 1969, He was 58 when he died, Although there was a great difference in their chronological ages, Brother Jonathan and Comrade Carlos, one I7 and the other 58, both were united around the idea of freedom and liberation. In the revolutionary tra- dition established before them, they both died the most worthy of deaths, revolutionary suicide. They knew the ) fascist in control would resort to every i means to maintain their system of l enslaving the world. Yet, with the | banner of freedom and liberation held } high, they moved ahead and struck a blow against this system of world slavery, knowing full well what the con- sequence for revolutionary activity is | victory or death... | Field Marshall } D.C, October 8, 1970 SELF - DEFENSE I will begin by pointing out that we must not allow the racist power structure to define our struggle. What I mean is the language that we use, like everything else in this society, is in the service of the racist, capi- talist bandits, They control the edu- cational institutions, the news media, and the means of production that turn out all the educational material, Some- times we are trapped by the rhetoric of the slavemaster, In our 400 years of struggle for survival it has been the guns and force of the slavemaster, manifested in the racist military that occupies our community, that directly oppress, repress, brutalize, and mur- der us. So for us to talk about sur- vival we must talk about self-defense against this brutality and murder that is defined by the racist power structure as ‘‘justifiable homicide’’. So whena guerrilla unit moves against this op- pressive system by executing a pig or by attacking its institutions, by any means - sniping, stabbing, bombing, etc, - in defense against the 400 years of racist brutality, murder, and ex- ploitation this can only be defined correctly as SELF-DEFENSE, The slavemaster, however, through his lackeys, puppets and apologists, calls it ‘‘terrorism’’, the work of crazed men, criminal, insane killers, etc. We must define our struggle, not the pigs, Carlos Marighella, an urban guer- yilla in Brazil, who was assassinated November 4, 1969, just one month be- fore Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, says, ‘‘The accusation of assault or terrorism no longer has the jejorative (negative) meaning it used to have, Il has acquired new clothing, anew color- ation. It does not factionalize, it does on the contrary, it re- GROUPS bresents a focal point of attraction, “Today, to be an assailant or ter- yorist is a quality that ennobles any honorable man because it is an act worthy of a vevolutionary engaged in armed struggle against the shameful military dictatorship and its mon- | strosities.”’ So with that, I say this: GUERRILLA | UNITS (self-defense groups) must be |} formed and blows must be struck | against the slavemaster until we have f) secured our survival as a people, PERSONNEL p In organizing self-defense groups § (urban guerrilla units) at this stage of the struggle, the most important consideration is whether or not the person to beincorporated into the group understands fully that what he or she is doing is the right thing to do, At this stage of the struggle, if any members of a guerrilla unit are weak- minded, or do not understand that the only way to put an end to brutality, murder and exploitation by this racist power structure is to organize guerrilla units and counter-attack, practice has shown that if this weak- minded person is ever captured, he or she will certainly not be able to withstand the methods of persuasion used by the fascist pigs and they will talk, give ub information. So the first priority for any guerrilla unit is TO BE ARMED IDEOLOGICALLY, Because of the consequences if any- thing goes wrong during an operation, members within the group must main- tain'a face to face relationship and get to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses thoroughly and participate fully in the planning of operations. continued on page 96 I met W, L. Nolen in the early winter of 1966. The years andthe seasons have begun to run together on me now but ['m fairly certain that the date just mentioned ts accurate at least witnin a few months - February- March 1966. I was working in the hospital, not for the state to be sure, bur for the collective. ‘The state placed me on the job, of course, but I had long since learned to turn such circum- Stances into a service for our convict class. W.L, came to me In need of immediate medical attention, that, had he reported to the staff facility would have meant his implication in an affair that could have cost him anything from loss of the small freedom of movement that placement in the general population allows, to perhaps indictment and trial in Marin County court where we all have by now become a- ware that no justice is possible. The very latest evidence of which is the statement issued by D.A, Bruce Bales to the effect that he ‘** could not be fair’ in handling the case of Comrade- sister Angela Davis" because of his close relation and friendship with Judge Haley who was exe- cuted by members of the Peo- ple's Army recently. The “could not be fair’ admission on the part of Marin’s District Attorney is an old and very insistent com~- plaint we have all been trying to emphasize for years, The idmis- sion, of course, means that all judicial affairs prior to the one in question now were in fact conducted unfairly. But to return to W,L,, he needed medical attention when I first encountered him , covert medical attention, my experience in the field of medicine extended little beyond the dispensing of pain killers, medicine to retard the loss of blood from external and internal injuries, and | am proficient in the use of the needle and thread, suturing was the most common of all our needs, W.L. had been me victim that aay of one of the many administra- tion provoked racist attacks:but victim is an inappropiate term in describing the many such en- Liberalism at this level can cost the lives of comrades and/or jeopardize the success of an operation, At this time guerrilla units should have no move than four to six mem- bers.

I fed him morphine tablets, gave him @ tetanusinjection and sewed the hole in his back as best I could while he recounted with characteristic modesty the sal- fent point of the battle. Faced with multiple opponets, as they were never so stupidly incautious to attack him otherwise, it turned out that he was the only partict- pant to move away from the affair under his own power. that can’t units must I felt a real presence of allthar is strong, true, and resilient in our kind at this first meeting with a comrade and brother who afterward became one of my closest friends. He entered our Study group and became one of the most tireless workers in our prison collective, the aims of which were briefly: to promote the survival of the black and some other sectors of the con- vict class against a prison ad- ministration and often their con- vict allies, who quite openly dem- onstrated a desire to strip us of not only our self respect but in many cases the last of our human rights -- the right to live, He was a Soldier and a scholar in the growing People’s Army Comrade Eldridge Cleav- er's analysis of the lumpen- proletariat exemplified. A man committed to nothing all of his life, content to live outside the economic infrastructure of the established enemy culture, turn- ed revolutionary, learned and dedicated to the overthrow of that culture. He was a brother gifted with that delicate balance of phys- {eal forcefulness and intellectual power that are the hallmark of the true soldier-statesman, Had he survived he would have un- questionably been a hammer for the nails we must drive in the coffin of capitalism. Together we isolated and ident- ified the nature of our real and immediate enemy. With history and class-struggle complicated by the existence of an overt and deeply rooted racism, we re- searched and discovered the point of emergence and development of fascism in this country, to- gether we analyzed its dimen- sions, the actual totalitarian es- sence of a consensual political system that forces one forever into the illusion that he is choos- ing the lesser of two evils, when actually all parties that willrep- resent the interest of the same centralized monopoly but with slightly different disguises is really not even a choice much less the choosing of ‘“‘lesser evil”. Together we worked out that the very core of fascism is counter-revolution, and di- ‘brought fascism THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16, 1970 PAGE 9 A TRIBUTE TO THREE SLAIN BROTHERS BY GEORGE JACKSON ffusing of lower class and Black consciousness. And, of course, a simple observation revealed that the U.S, is among all the nations of the world the first to send troops and bombers at even a hint of revolution, Here or abroad. We proved that the aim of fascism‘'s psychosocial order was to recult in every individual who can be reached the atavistic herd Instinct that manifests itself today in the US, in the pathological authorian per- sonality. We had concluded that the U.S, had developed, be- cause of its unique historical fear of revolution which must be accredited to the presence of a huge and always threaten- ing black revolutionary potential. The U,S, had and has ultimately to its highest arrangement, its ultimate refinement rests on the fact that all is very well disguised. From this fact that fascism does indeed exist, with its spies everywhere, its immediate and violent response to all truly, revolutionary threats, its mul- titure of police agencies, police, and its careful attempt to create a police science, its encroach- ments on the rights of labor to deal with management, its mass expanding consumer economy, and fostering of spectacular sports to ludicrous proportions with the sole intent of diverting attention and energy into harm- less channels. From these ob- servations and many others, we not only established the existence of a particularly vicious fascist arrangement but one that hadde- ‘veloped to its episodically logical peak in this country. Our revo- lutionary théorles were built upon these discoveries, Not upon any form of idealistic sense of ad- venturist, romantic notions of revenge or lack of science. We simply grasped the scientific nature of our enemies and the impossibility of organizing against them without new meth- ods. Our conviction that all revolu- tionary activity must go forward with the concomitant developemnt of both political and military ORGANIZING SELF-DEFENSE GROUPS another unit, Due to the fact that this level of struggle in Babylon is in its embroyonic stages, there are many agents, fools, and provacateurs running e around all across the country, When a member of one unit is captured, he or she will only be able to give up information on one group: THEIR OWN! TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK WITH ‘KNOW YOUR ENEMY”’ activity is based on the fact that fascism allows for no valid rev- olutionary activity above ground, that it must proceed under the threat of defensive and retali- tory violence, or it willbe crush- or reduced to impotence, W.L. was one of the most intelligent and decisive people I have ever had the privilege to meet. I loved him Ike f loved my brother, like I love the ideal of one day standing on liberated soil. He inspired this love in most eveyone he came In contact with. He was calm, sincere, and the quintes- sence of revolutionary man. He was a Maolst-Fanonist, and be~- lieved that every man who did not have a substantial stake in the existence of totalitarian cap~ {talism could be reached with Sincerity and logic, The victim of countless racist attacks, he never once changed his position that under Black vanguard lead- ership in a socialist revolution even the most vicious racist redneck could be redeemed from his delirtum. But at the same time, part of this sincerity in- cluded an attempt or two to beat some righteousness into them, Often, it helped. He was truly 4 paragon of patience and dedication. As long as any of us who work— ed with him remain alive, will live. And the men who des- — troyed him will find no peace, ever-- we're going to drive, be- hind the monolithic force of our forming revolutionary culture, we're going to drive them into this grave we're digging for all the unrightous, the grave that descends to the molten center of the earth and the hell they deserve. ; Long live the memory of all three who died on January 13th, Comrade Edwards and Comrade Miller and Comrade W,L, Nolen. Let their satisfaction come from the fact that the shots that mur~ dered them were the first in a war to the death with Fascism. George Lester Jackson Within a week of his release from a three year jail term, Huey Newton, Supreme Commander and Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party gave this exclusive interview to Sechaba, The interview was arranged by the Africa Research Group with the assistance of Karen Wald, We take this opportunity to pay tribute to Huey Newton, a great revolutionary leader of the heroic Black Panthers, SECHABA: Mr, Newton,velcome back from jail and thank you for granting us this interview, First we would like you to explain the relationship between the Black Panther Party and Black Power movement, HUEY: The Black Panther grew, out of the Black Power mo nt, the Party transformed the of Black Power, into a socialistideology, a Marxist-Leninist ideology. The Black Power movementhas atendency to have a capitalistic orientation along the lines of what Marcus Garvey talked about the kind of organisation that Elijah Muhammed has, that is based upon Black capitalism, The Black Panther Party feels that not even the Black bourgeoisie will be able to compete with imperialism whose cen a is here in North America, it States is the central bage bourgeoisie, and this is ause thi country is really not a nation any longer, it’s an empire that controls the world, through economics or through physical force - military _ might, Even the Black Panther Party has transformed this t dat in socialist movement bn a tie eir come not nationalists/ili n@tionali Power movement in the past butinter- nationalists, =r TALK in America h character, because it exploits the world, it controls the wealth of the world it has stolen, usurped the wealth of the people of the world, including thepeople who are inthe Black colony here in America and who were stolen from Africa. We feel that the only way that we can combat an interna- tional enemy is through an interna- tional strategy, unity of all people who are exploited, who will overthrow the international bourgeoisie, and re- place it with a dictatorship by the proletariat, the workers of the world. And we feel that after imperialism is destroyed, nationhood will no longer be necessary; the state will then wither away; then the whole world will belong to the people and the old national boundary lines will no longer exist, We think that the movement is at this stage, we think that the dialectics are now breaking upon taking socialism, social ideology to its final goal: com- munism and the absence of statehood, SECHABA: Do you want to say a little about the programme andprogra nine of action in the iminediate future for the Party and for yourself, HUEY: Our programme is armed struggle. We have hooked up with the people who are rising up all over the world with arms, because we feel that only with the power of the gun will the bourgeoisie be destroyed and the world transformed, We feel that the imperialists will not become Buddhists overnight, they witl not lay down their butcher knives, Therefore the people will have to use certain measures to restore peace to the world and to restrain the madmen who're running amuck throughout the world oppressing people everywhere, The world enemy number one is the ruling circle in the United States of America, We view the United States as the ‘city’ of the world and all the other countries asa makes each country stronger because it develops a base of liberated ter- ritory so that we'll be in a better ategic position to fight, and also it 5 in c i ea ie tha pefialis i 2 e 1 slowly strangle imperialism by freeing one country after another.

We feel that Black people in America have a moral right to claim nationhood be- cause we are a colonized people, But history won't allow’ us to claim nationhood, because it has bestowed an obligation upon us; to take socialist development to its final stage, to rid the world of the imperialist threat, the threat of the capitalist and the warmonger. Once he is destroyed then there will be no need for nation- hood, because the nations won’t need to defend themselves against the im- perialist, because this is the most powerful imperialist country in the world, and other imperialist countries depend on the backing of the U.S, At this point the imperialist is running rampant, so any country has a right to claim nationhood or be nationalist, as long as they are internationalists as well, If they are nationalist alone then they are chauvinist, If they are both nationalist and internationalist, they realize that they need liberated ter- ritory but they also realize that their interests are the same as every other verthro : eS NEE W Te peoples interest who are naa against imperialism, While we respect your fight for nationhood and inde- pendence, and we struggle with you, we feel that we must destroy the very necessity for countries to be nations” in the first place.

The United _ States requires, that asthe threat of Joss of its rule increases, the action on the part of such agencies or individuals must in- crease in proportion, Whether the soft-touch, Indirect rule tac- tics of such government personalities as John Kennedy, or the open, crude and direct moves of a Johnson or Nixonare used is only a question of need and style. The goal remains the same -= maintain control of the world's wealth - the world. On a4 winter day in early January, 1%9 a heated discussion was taking plece on the campus of the University of California at Los Angeles. Alprentice “Bunchy’ Carter was arguing a point in his beautifully persua- sive manner. He was discussing at one point 4 man who himself was known for his great ability to bring words to his people and help them understand their lives -- Patrice Lumumba, the great Congolese revolutionary Jeader, Bunchy was arguing with a functionary of Ron Karenga's US organization, The point of argument had been the Karenga follower’s blind insistence that what is black is good, what Is white is evil and bad, The follower always prefaced every- thing he said with words about “Maulana’’ (Karenga’s self-im- posed title, meaning “'god"’) had taught him, It was ridiculous, Bunchy referred him to the vicious assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Gtrangely, this fol- lower who espoused love for African tradition and heritage had to ask who Lumumba was.) Bunchy pointed out that it had been black men who had not only betrayed Lumumba, but there- fore also their own native Congo: Joseph Mobutu, Joseph Kasa- vubu, Moishe Tsombe - to name the main ones - and of course, Dr. Ralph Bunche then Under Secretary of the United Nations and Special United Nations Re- presentative in Leopoldville, The point was (is) that the tactics of greedy men, particularly the rulers of the United States Em- pire, are not limited to white people. That imperialism Is not a color and in fact employs the direct or indirect aid of people of all colors. He pointed out thar through the work of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) a black man, working in the interest of his people to throw off the direct rule of Belgium and indirect rule of the United States, was assas- sinated by other black men. One participant was Joseph Mo- butu, current President of the Congo and former Sergeant in the Force:-Publique under the Belgians, who was well knownas the CIA's main man in the Congo, Bunchy pointed out thar Tshombe was so much in the employ of the Belgium - United States coalition in the Congo, that even after Lumumba’s assassination, he recallled Belgian and other white mercen- aries to search out and kill all those still loyal to the ideas of Lumumba and of true indepen- dence and freedom for the Congo. (Tshombe's famous white mer- cenaries killed hundreds of Congolese in a four-week trek from Katanga to Stanleyville. And on December 6, 1%0, a little over a month before Lumumba's assassination, Tshombe was re- ceived by Belgian King Baudouin to receive the Great Ribbon of the Order of the Crown for the respect hehad shown to Belgian’s living in Katanga - the area Tshombe controlled, which had seceded from the Congo), Through all the discussion this follower of Karenga insisted with vehemence that this kind of thing was =~ if it happened -- a least likely threat to the Black man than the white man, Finally, having become absorbed in the truth, andforgetting for a second, all of what '*Maulana’ him, he admitted that one could not make such blind, irrational The class roared. It *hadtaught Statements, taught them, 5 PATRICE LUMBUMBA There’s nothing mystical or mysterious in some of the events in history that seem to repeat themselves, Similar circum- stances can produce similar re- sults. Patrice Lumumba was assassinated on January 17,1961, at the hands of his own people, as such. Part of a United States plot to maintain domination and an attempt to crush or quell all efforts on the part of the people for freedom ani inde- pendence, Alprentice ‘Bunchy’ Carter and John Huggins were assassinated on January 17, 1969, at the hands of their own people, as 5 Part of a United plot to maintain domination an attempt to crush or quell all efforts on the part of the people for freedom and indepen- dence, It was interesting that the class took place at UCLA and such a discussion arose between Bunchy and Larry Stiner, Karenga’sfol- lower. Stiner several weeks later took part in Bunchy’s assas- sination on January 17th, But Stiner was just a tool of the main traitor - Ron Karenga, And the argument was really begun some time before that day, Specifically Karenga (for- merly Ron Everett) had beendis- covered by the local pig authorities (like Mobutu was dis- covered by the CIA tn the Congo) to be a good local boy to keep the heat in the ghetto down, as it were. In Watts in 1965, of course, there had been the lar- gest violent uprising ever by blacks against the oppressor, the Man, Watts, like other world communities, required some work, so that rebellion would organized moves for freedom from the chains, the oppression of Sam (the United States pig power structure), But it required skill and nothing too obvious — like out-right fascist force and terror -- which could intensify, instead of smooth things out. Ron Karenga and his ‘*U,S," or US organization fit that need, ht looked good - appearing black and militant, For a while after that, things went smoothly for them, But in early 1958, Bunchy Carter organized the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party, Andfrom then on, the local and federal pigs saw the crucial Southern California area as being threatened. Bunchy really was from the ghetto, the streets. And he was organizing the people to begin to move in JOHN HUGGINS their interest. Things got worse for the Sam Yorty-Karenga coalition 4s time passed, The Black Panther Party had begun programs serving the true needs of the people and wasn't on their payroll. When Bunchy and John Huggins entered the Sacred territory of the college campus in the fall of 1968 and began talking to the Black Students there, it was really bad. UCLA had already been programmed to funnel United States government funds through its various agencies into a government project known as the ‘Compton Complex"’. The Compton Complex was 6 program to bring new buildings, busi- nesses and federal money into the predominately Black Southern California community of Comp- ton. Certainly any strong, black in- fluence upon the UCLA adminis- trators would be able to dictate the whole Compton Complex operation. This, of course, meant in turn a stronghold on the economy and therefore the poli- tics and people of Compton (the closest community south of Watts ~-even sometimes called Watts), There was a lot at stake and the UCLA Black Students Union Union had fallen apart by De- cember, 1968, Anyone with aneye to keeping the Ud on hot South- Central Los Angeles would cer- tainly want control (without cer- tainly anyone knowing) of that project and all the other govern- ment funds directed at black peo- ple that UCLA distributes. During the school quarter break, Karenga formed a Com- munity Advisory Board’ to ‘ald’ UCLA's Black students in organizing a so-called Black Studies Program. He was thetop proud-militant front-good for police-community relations. But to insure that everything went well, other top Yorty - United States government bootlickers were part of this vicious plot: Dr. Alfred Cannon a Black Los Angeles psychiatrist, head of the government-funded Mafundi In- Stitute, a psychiatrist at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Inistitute, a board member of at least 2 different other federal govern- ment “‘poverty programs", to name some of the government projects in which he is involved Cannon's sidekick, Dr. Hiawatha Harris, another Black psychia- trist, who along with Cannon fronts off a federal government program called the South Cen- tral Mental Health Center: Wal- ter Bremond, former head with BUNCHY CARTER Karenga of a folded umbrella organization, the Black Con- gress, and close friend of Ka- renga, Bremond also worked for the federal government in Marin County several years before that as s Housing Authority adminis- trator. There were others, but this was the main group. Not part of the advisory board, but part of the design to rip off the people, was also Cannon’s old girlfriend, Mary Jane Hewitt, head of UCLA's government funding projects for the poor (Such as EOP), These people tried to whip to- gether during that school break a Black Students’ Union. A few misguided fools, students there, listened to ther. And together they produced a Dr. Charles Thomas and presented him as the Black Student-Black com- munity choice to head a Black Studies program at UCLA. Plans were foiled only over 4 small quarrel as to what Thomas* salary would be --the students thought the offered $16,000 was sufficient; the advisory board wanted $23,000, This broughtthe whole thing into the open by the time the new school quarter be- gan, The black students, outraged, and after many meetings inearly January, finally, on January ISth, said they would control their Black Studies program, had no need for the so-called Com- munity Advisory Board and lrerally boo-ed Karenga, andthe approximately fifty followers (some armed) he had brought to argue his point, out of the baild- ing. Two days later, aftera meeting thar was held to discuss the qualifications of any Black Studies Program Head, Alpren- tice Bunchy Carter and John Huggins were shot down by mem- bers of Karenga’s US Organi- zation. They were assassinated because these pigs and agents saw them as the main threat to any hold they could get over Bleck people, particularly In Southern California, They were assassinated, 3 years to the day, like Patrice Lumumba, because they represented the true needs and desires of the masses of people, John and Bunchy, like Lumumba, were assassinated by the Black, lackey tools of the most vicious and greedy govern- pent structure tn the history of the world = the U.S. Empire.

Southern California Ch apter Black Panther Party = = «oe OO EE “‘The Congo has made me, I shall make the Congo’? Patrice Lumumba Patrice Lumumba’s place inAfrican history in particular, and in world history in general is in several ways unique. Few leaders rose to promi- nence so rapidly and so dramatically. Few leaders were murdered so cold- bloodedly and blatantly by agents of American imperialism. He was an extraordinary man, In many ways his dynamic, driving force had the same effect on the masses in | the community of the Congoas Malxolm ‘ X had on the community of North © America. The same as in the case of Malcolm X, very few people realized recognized or appreciated his contri- butions until after his brutal assas- sination, He was born on July 2, 1925, the son of an illiterate peasant, He was largely self-educated and became a powerful force in the Congo’s struggle for independence from Belgium. He was the first Prime Minister of the Congo. His dream was that someday the Congo would be ruled ‘‘not by the peace of guns and bayonets, but bya peace of the heart and of the will’. At the age of 35 years he was brutally murdered in his attempt to make that dream a reality. The imperialist clique saw the threat he presented not only to their control of the Congo, but Africa as a whole (if the Congo was allowed to succeed) and the rest of the communities of Asia and Latin America. He was a man of firm principles and beliefs and would not be one of their bootlickers or lackeys. The imperialist henchmen, the CIA were put into action. Before independence various threats, dis- ruptions and attempted massacres occurred, Rumors were circulated that Lumumba was a Communist and that the Soviet Union would take over. Moise Tshombe, son of one of the few wealthy businessmen in the Congo, was more to the imdervialists’ choosing. He threatened Lumumba with the secession of the province of Katanga, THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16, 1970 PAGE 19 Patrice Lumumba, martyred leader of the revolutionary struggle in the Congo was a victim of capitalist inspired violence and terrorism in an attempt to stem the tide of the African Revolution. Lumumba is seated here in a jeep, hands bound, just prior to his assassination. which was the most productive area in terms of mining etc. Lumumta survived all this and secured independence for the Congo. The following are excerpts from his Independence Day Speech: *« ..Together my brothers, my sisters, we are going to begin anew struggle, asublime struggle, which will lead our cominunity to peace, pros- perity, and greatness, Together we are going to establish Social justice and make sure everyone has _ just remuneration for his labor...We are going to put an end to suppression of free thought and see to it that all our citizens enjoy to the full the fundamental liberties foreseen in the Declaration of the Rights of man.,..’’ That was the beginning and the beginning of the end of Patrice Lumumba, The odds against him in- ternally were that althzugh the Congolese people emotionally were ready for independence, politically an ideology was missing, also Lumumba allowed Belgian troops to remain in the Congo after independence, Conflicts erupted between White and Black soldiers. Mutiny was every- where, Congolese soldiers startedim- prisoning theiy European counterparts. Rumors ofthe landing of Russian planes spread like wildfire, European im- migrants started returning to Europe with stories of rapings, and killings. Lumumba tried to restore order, but in the meantime Belgian parachutists had landed ‘‘to protect the lives of Belgian citizens,’’ The same old tm- perialist trick to protect the interests of the imperialists. Tshombe arch-puppet moved and Katanga seceeded from the Republic with Tshombe as the leader. Lumumba made his third miscalculation by ap- pealing to the U.N. for help. Dag Hammerskjold, Secretary General, like the ever-believing Swede thought he could really help. It took his mysterious aircraft disappearance and death for him to realise that justice did not exist. U.N. troops were sent to restore a order, but in reality to keep Katanga — protected for the imperialists, The CIA also installed another of their lackeys, (thts one was specially chosen - Andre Tulley in the book the CIA - the Inside Story) Mobutu to be Lumumba’s suecessor, A coup d’etat was cleverly planned, At first Lumumba was placed under house ar- continued on page 15 THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16, 1970 PAGE 14 ENVER HOXHA’S SPEECH TO THE 81 PARTY MEETING IN MOSCOW (1960) RECENTLY PUBLISHED BY ALBANIA FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER NINE YEARS In November 1960 an historic Struggle took place in Moscow at the 81 Party Conference be- tween the forces of revisionism headed by Khrushchoy and the forces of Marxism-Leninism which Included the Albanian Party of Labor, the Chinese Communist Party and others, Enver Hloxha, the Jeader of the Albanian Party of Labor, delivered an important speech at this conference which was one of the most vital elements in the Struggle between the two lines in the Socialist camp, The speech, which is now available in pam- phiet form in English (Naim Frasherf Publishing House, Tirana, 144 pp.) Is entitled: **Reject the Revisionist Theses of the 2(kh Congress of the Com- munist Party of the Soviet Union and the Anti-Marxist Stand of Khrushchov'’s ,, Group! Uphold Marxism-Leninism|" The Albanian Party of Labor had begun the struggie against Khrushchoy's revisionism right from the time of the 20th Con- gress of the CPSU (inl96) where the Khrushchov group openly ex- pressed anti-Marxist views, slandered Stalin, and took over effective control of the Soviet Party and Government. At first, this struggle against the de- viations of the Soviet Party leadership was carriedon quictly on a@ Party-to-Party basis, without any publicity, so as not to give any ammunition to the enemies of communism, The Al- -banians were still-hopeful thar the Soviet leaders, as a resultof the private discussions, would realize their mistakes and cor- _ rect their errors, * THE BUCHAREST MEETING But as the treacherous and counter-revolutionary features of the Soviet revisionist leader- Ship became more evident, the Albanian Party sharpened its Strimgle to expose and defeatthe Khrushchoy, revisionists. Prior to the November Meeting in Mos- cow, the Soviet leadership had called together another con- ference in Bucharest in June 1960 3 =3at)3=which Khrushchov launched a vicious surprise ar- tack against the Communist Party of China. Because the Chinese Com- munist Party rejected the re- visionist positions of the 2(kh Congress of the CPSU, Khru- shchoy tried to railroad through the Bucharest Meeting a resolu- tion to condemn the Chinese C,P, as ‘‘dogmatic’’, ‘sectarian’, "tin favor of war’, ‘‘opposed to peaceful coexistence”, etc, In this situation, the Albanian Party Spoke wp courageously to re- pudiate and check this dangerous plot and to challenge openly the revisionist policies of the Soviet ~ jeadership. Miter the Huchurest ineeting, the Soviet leadership launched a brutal andunprincipled campaign aguinst the Albanian people and ow > pit Wwe = Comrade Enver Hoxha Having a cordial talk with the cooperativist peasants in the Kukés District. the Albanian Party, flagrantly trying to interfere in the tn- ternal affairs of Albania, and actually trying to overthrow the leadership of the Albanian Party. In his speech in Moscow in November, Enver Hoxhaexposed the treachery of the Khrushchoy gang, a5 well as going Into a full and correct analysis of the main issues then dividing the international communist move- ment. THE DECLARATION OF THE 8! PARTY CONFERENCE As 4 result of the courageous stand of the Albanian Party, which was supported by the C,P, of China and by the delegations of a number of other parties, the Khrushchov group was forced to back down, and a final De- claration of the 81 Party Con- ference was approved which was essentially correct in general, although still containing a number of incorrect theses, The Albanian Party, although sharply opposed to these incorrect positions, nevertheless signed the Declaration for the sake of the unity of the International movement, While making con- cessions on some issues, it did not make any concessions what- ever on the main issues which were fundamental to the basic principles of Marxism-Lenin- ism. Again in the interest of not providing any ammunition to the enemies of socialism, the Al- banian Party did not make public this speech of Enver Hoxha’s for & long time, Now it has been released by the Albanian Party of Labor, und it hus been re- cognized as an important historic document in the development of the world Marxist-Leninist movement, The Albanian Affairs Study Group feels that every stu- dent of world affairs, national liberation struggles, and social- ism should make a careful study of this document. As a moment of history, this Speech naturally bears the stamp of the time and circumstances which produced it. For instance, in 1960 the Soviet Union was con- Sidered to be the leader of the Socialist camp, the strongest force for peace in the world, the hope of the struggling re- yolutionary people of the world. Today, the Albanian Party of Labor, as Indeed al] Marxist- Leninist, consider that the Soviet Union is no longer »a Socialist country, but has de- generated into a capitalist country; it is no longer a force for peace, but has become a social-imperialist power; ik is no longer a support to the re- voliutionary movements of the world, but uses all its influence to suppress revolution in col- laboration with the U.S, imper- falists, with whom it connives in an attempt to divide the world into spheres of influence be- tween the two ‘‘big powers"’. Although the speech reflects the situation of 1960, the document is published exactly as recorded, without any modification. PEACE, PEACEFUL COEXST- ENCE ARMED STRUGGLE Some of the main points which the revisionists were raising in the world revolutionary move- ment and which Enver Hoxha dealtwith brilliantly inhis speech were these: Are the imperlal- ists reasonable, do they want peace, and are they willing to disarm, as the revisionist headed by Khrashchov claimed? Enver Iloxha answer this with an em- phatic No! Ie said: **lmperial- ism does not want peace and is preparing for athird worki war... Imperialism will not disarm of its own free will...At no time should we allow flatrery, preti- fication or softness towards im perialism"’. On the question of peaceful coexistence, the revisionists were distorting this idea to Spread the false notion that class Struggle should cease, While approving the correct Leninist principle of peaceful co- existence, Enver Hoxha said: **Peaceful coexistence does not imply that we should give up the class struggle.,.On the contrary, it should become ever more in- tense...we should further pro- mote the class struggle In capi- talist countries as well as the national Liberation of the people of colonial and dependent countries"’, Another important policy which the revisionists were em- asculating was the Leninist policy of armed revolution. The revisionists were promoting the sole reliance on the peaceful parliamentary road to social change, and they were discarding completely and condemning the path of armed revolution, Enver Hoxha sharply repudiated this anti-Leninist position, saying: "So far, no people, no prole- tarlat and no communist or workers’ purty has assumed power without bloodshed and without violence... The bourgeol- sie may allow you to sing psalms, but then it deals you a fascist blow to the head and crushes you because you have not cralned the necessary cadres to attack, nor done illegal work, you have not prepared a place where you can be protected and still work, nor the means with which to fight, We should fore- stall this tragic eventuality." THE QUESTION OF STALIN Another important issue taken up by Enver tloxha was the question of Stalin and the cult of the individual, Kepudiating the complete denigration of Sta- ® by Khrushchoy as incorrect Comrade Enver Hoxha speaking at the meeting in the town of Bajram Curri, Tropoja District ERE: to eS and harmful, he pointed out the positive contributions made by Stalin as the continuator of Lenin’s work. Characterizing Stalin as a ‘'glorious Marxist’, he pointed out thar it was Stalin who led the Soviet people in building the first socialist stare, defeating imperialist and Trot- skyite plots, building heavy in- dustry and collectivizing agri- culture, defesting the fascists in World War fl, creating a powerful socialist canip, etc, En- ver Hoxla sald: ‘Stalin fought for the rights of the working class and the working people of the whole work...’ REVISIONST PLOTS AGAINST ALBANIA In the course of the speech, Enver Hoxha revealedhow Khru- shchov and the Titoites tried to subvert the Albanian Party of Labor, overthrow its leadership, and take control of the Party and the country, At one point after Liberation, having failed in several schemes to take over control of the Al- banian Party. Tito actually wanted to *’,..invade Albania with their army, to crush all resis- tance, to arrest the leaders of the Party of Labor of Albania and of the Albanian State and to proclaim Albania a seventh Republic of Yugoslavia, Our Party defeated this diabolic scheme of theirs also. Joseph Stalin's aid and intervention at these moments was decisive for our Party and for the freedom of the Albanian people. Precisely at this time the Information Bureau exposed the Tito clique. Stalin and the Soviet Union sayed the Albanian people for the second time.”’ After the Bucharest meeting Khrushchovy even tried to get some Albanian generals to over- throw the Party leadership and seize power by means of a military coup, In 1960 the Albanian people suffered a severe food shortage because of unusual national calamities - an earthquake, a flood, and a drought thar lasted 120 days, Nearly all their food grain was lost, and the Alban- ian Government asked the Sovier leaders to ship thern 50,000 tons of wheat. The Albanians hadoaly a 5S day supply on hand, After waiting for 45 days, the Khru- shchoy group replied ther they would sell Albania only 10,000 tons of wheat and that this would have to be paid for in gold re- serves, And there is much more, This document is a treasure of vital and fascinating historical facts that reveal not only a critical phase of Albania’s revolutionary development, but also throw 4 strom: Ligit on the revisionist bemrayal of the world com- munist movernent by Khrushchoy aml his followers, Qonathan Swift) ~ , “= THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16, 1970 PAGE 15 EDITORIAL THE DECADE OF THE BOOMERANG The year 1970 ended with many victories for the oppressed peoples on the planet earth and in some cases with major set-backs, Many lessons however were learned, and revution- aries in all the communities of the world moved their consciousness and levels of struggle to a higher level. Here in the community of North America the BlackPanther Party will go forward to make 1971 and the restof the 70’s the decade of the Boomerang-- the decade of the people--escaldation of tactics and stronger resistance against the oppressors, We pledge ourselves to further ed- ucating the masses and at the same time serving and meeting their needs, Sur- vival pending revolution should be our major goal during the coming year. The wanton murders and brutality perpetrated against ourcomradesover the past years must be avenged, The vulturistic oppressors should not es- cape the wrath of the armed people. Our incarcerated brothers and sisters held illegally in prisons and jails from one end of Babylon to the next should be “‘set free’’ in order that they can return to their communities and provide the oxen for the people to ride. ~ In particular Chairman Bobby Seale, Ericka Huggins, Angela Davis, the New continued from page 13 rest even though he was allowed to make visits to various villages and speak with the people who loved him. Mobutu became enraged as he thought Lumumba’s popularity had declined, He issued a legal warrant for Lumumba's arrest and with the aid of the CIA installed himself as the head of the Congolese Republic. Lumumba on one. of his visits toa village tried to escape but was brought OF back. When he was taken from the plane his hands were tied behind his back, his glasses without which he could not see had disappeared and he « was placed in a truck with 2 other companions. The humilitations and brutality perpetrated against him on this journey were countless, Not only was he savagely beaten, but a state- ment declaring him the legal head of the legitimate government of the Congo was pushed down his throat by one of the soldiers and he was forced to eat this, He was placed in confinement! at Camp Hardy with heavy security, On January 17, a pig from the Security Police disguised as anordinary civilian ° went into Lumumba’s cell informing him that the people had mutinied and needed him back. Lumumba believed and walked into a death trap. He was taken in a DC-4 commercial York 21, the Los Angeles 18, the Detroit 16, the Soledad 3, the Soledad 7 and the other thousands of young potential rev- olutionaries being stifled, It isour duty to see that theseComradesare re- leased, We know this will be a long and ar- duous struggle andit is therefore nec- essary that efforts be concentrated on our youth.We should see to it that they are educated to the true nature of this racist, decadent, imperialist society and, their rightful role in it --to destroy it. More Liberation Schools should be instituted so that this knowledge is pas- sed on quickly, We should always be one step ahead of the enemy and learn to an- ticipate his actions and therefore beon the offensive. Our youths shouldnotbe destroyed but educated, The concept of intercommunalism as put forward by our Leader and Minister of Defense, Huey P, Newton, should be understood by all, Once we have at- tained this level of consciousness we will see more clearly the relevance of the struggles being waged by the heroic peoples of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the progressive people in Europe, At the same time it will be diaphanous (transparent) to us here in'‘the commun- ity of North America how important our role is in the global revolution that is taking place, A new dedication, love and awareness must develop, Liber- ation or continuous enslavement is our choice, A true revolutionary cnooses death over slavery, Let us take a page from Che Guevara who was one ofthe foremost inter- nationalists of his day, and who, if he had lived, would be one ofthe foremost intercommunalist - ‘“‘Let me say atthe risk of seeming ridiculous, that atrue revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love’’. We must have so much love for our people, their well being, their lives and their survival that we should be prepar- ed to face a revolutionary death sothat our people can achieve the basic neces- sities of life, This great humanity has said enough! The Black Panther Party has said enough! Let this be the decade of the Boomerang and the People, Revolu- tionary intercommunalism the greatest Marxist-Leninst-Pantherist doctrine must and will be a reality, Power to the People ! eae LT IN MEMORIAM - PATRICE LUMUMBA plane with a European crew, placed on board and forced to fly to Katanga, During the flight he was brutally tortured, He landed in Katanga and from that point various versions of what happened to Patrice Lumumba exist until today, Stories after stories were issued concerning his death on various . dates. However, evidence points to the fact that on the night of January 17, _. after his arrival he was fatally shot . by Tshombe., Until today his- body has not been yecovered, One of the most blatant and brutal acts of the CIA spear- headed by the imperialists was allowed to go unavenged, By liberating North America and in the reality of inter- communalism we will therefore liberate the Congo and Lumumba’s , death will at last be avenged, His _dream will be a reality, He was one of the greatest leaders the African community ever had and with deep reverence the Black Panther Party pays tribute to his memory on this “@ the anniversary of his assassination, re} cr "% Madame Lumumba and Roland, one of Lumumba’s four children He lived and died for what he m believed in - the liberation of all peoples.

Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities The Germans are now aiding the Jews i Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people The Ger mans murdered six million Jew The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fiNy million black people. therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand that we make 4. We want decent housing. fit for shelter of human beings. We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made inte cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society: We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl- edge of self If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else “6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. We believe that Black people. should not be forced to fight in the mifi- tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from.the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary 7. 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 or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense “ 8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, State, county and city prisons and jails. We believe that all nlack people should be released from the many jails and prisonS because thoy have not received a fair and impartial trial 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution 30 that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, en- vironmental, hiStorical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning rian” of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebls- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another. and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall scem most likely to effect their safely and happiness. Pru- dence, indeed. will dictate that governments long established should not he changed for light and transient causes; and. accordingly. all experience hath shown.sthal mankind are more disposed to suffer. while evils are sulferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed But. when a long train of abuses and usurpations. pur- suing invariably the same object. evinces a design to reduce them under ab solute despotism, itis their right, it is their duty. to throw off such govern- ment. and to provide new guards for their future security THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY JANUARY 16, 1970 PAGE 17 RULES OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS 1048 PERALTA STREET OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA Every member of the BLACK PANTHER PARTY throughout this country of racist America must abide by these rillss 45 functional members of this Party.
