And the masses of people have stated this - here in the Empire and in other communities of the world, in Vietnam, in China, in Korea, in South America, in Africa, But those who know best the threat the Black Panther Party pre- sents to the continued existence of the American Empire and its various poli- tical regimes - Nixon’s at present - those who know best that the Black Panther Party is ‘‘the greatest threat to the internal security of the U.S.” (J, Edgar Hoover) and, is, therefore, in the vanguard of the People’s Re- yolution in America are those of the Empire's ruling circle itself, And it was the leader of our Party, Huey P. Newton , who, taking the lessons that Malcolm had so eloquently PIGS THREATEN WELL-BEING OF THE SUPREME SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE stated, tired and angry as every black and oppressed personis, who by himself, at that time, challenged the very foun- dations of this decadent, vicious and rotten society, Arming himself against dogs to whom killing, raping, robbery and all kinds of treacherous deeds had become more than familiar acts, but which deeds became the American In- Stitution over the centuries, Huey P, Newton set forward the supreme ex- ample of his very life to bring this message to as many people as possi- ble, [It was this supreme example and offer of his life to expose the truth for even a moment that has brought the many hundreds of thousands of people around the world to respect and sup- port the organization he founded, And the hatred the world’s pigs feel for the Party is pinpointed at our founder, This is all to say that the Black Panther Party has learned through world history and our own history that those who wish to destroy our Party and its leadership will steal any moment to do that, And we have seen that they concentrate their efforts on the build- ings where we sleep, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were murdered in their homes, asleep in their beds, Raids, such as the December 8th, 1969 raid in Los Angeles, are directed at our homes and places where we sleep, And recently, on February 9th, the home of our Chief of Staff, David Hilliard, was viciously vandalized while he was away on the East Coast, We are not so naive as to believe that we will not receive attacks in the future that will be even more calculated and vicious; For we cer- tainly have no intention of doing any- thing but intensifying our programs to destroy completely those who have oppressed in one form or another prac- tically all the world’s peoples and com- munities for so long, We intend to deliver the death blow to the American Empire, No matter how many of our own lives are ripped away in the effort, no matter how many homes and offices they destroy, we shall continue, as we have in the past in the face of all odds, But we shall not allow history to again prove that man kills the best in himself, Defense of the Black Panther Party§ and Supreme Servant of the People, Huey P, Newton, who initiated this bold step to change the tide of His- tory, to be exposed to their waiting§ guns and scopes, So that by the time he was returned to the People, having spent nearly three years in their maximum security dungeons, our Party had grown, mostly through bitter examples, And when he returned, our concern for his life (even remem- bering the example of Brother Malcolm the bombing of his home, his assas- sination) extended particularly to where he could live relatively securely, And the place the Black Panther Party obtained for our Minister of Defense and Supreme Servant has now been exposed by the malicious pig news media in collusion with the office of J, Edgar Hoover. His home address was put on the front page of every major newspaper in the country, for the purpose of allowing every fool, bountyhunter and pig in the world to know where he sleeps, For the official pigs were having difficulty doing their usual work, as the apartment building in which he was housed contained their class brothers, And an attack upon him would have required an attack upon them, So they cunningly exposed this information, under the guise of des- cribing his lifestyle as being equal to that of his oppressors, They em- phasized the fact that the apartment rent is $650. per month to hopefully divert the People’s attention and hopefully turn their support away from the Party, while exposing his home address, But, ‘‘For the salvation, liberation and freedom of our People, we will not hesitate to either kill or die,’’ And to preserve for even a moment the life of the kind of genius which has guided our Party through these past years, we certainly will not hesi- tate to provide whatever is necessary.

They forced their way into the storefront without wirrans for the fourth time in two weécks. Inside the storefront, they proceeded to terrorize the people, who were peacefully going about their normal business, by drawing their service revolvers One person, 4 young staff worker from Asian Legal Services, was irrested for no apparent reason. These same pigs, armed with shotguns, also invaded the Asian Community Center without war- rants and harrassed a group of young Asian women who were hav- ing a meeting at the time. At 2:00 am, Saturday morning, 30 pigs ran wild throughout China- town, They forced their way into Leways, the Washington Street Smokeshop and several gambling houses. The pigs were not carry- ing warrants, They forced people up against walls, searched people and checked ID's. They did this on the flimsy excuse of searching for firecrackers. At Leways, a non-profit youth organization, the pigs ripped posters off of the walls, destroyed the music room, photography lab- oratory and library, Intheir fren- zied rage, the pigs even smashed 4 pingpong table to bits and over- turned a garbage can, scattering The pigs also wrecked Leway's plumb- garbage all over the place, ing and electrical wiring. Asian Legal Service and the Chinatown-Manilatown Draft In- formation Center, which share the Storefront with Leways at 842 Kearney St., were also invaded Saturday morning by the gestapo police. The pigs ripped out their phones and ransacked their con- fidential files in 4 vain attempt to stop these organizations from continuing to serve the needs of the people. This systematic, brutal and {l- legal pig terror campaign against the Chinese community was un- leashed two weeks ago with the full co-operation of the Chinese Six Companies?

Many Chinese youths have also been harrassed while peace- fully driving their legally owned cars or walking down the street. This campaign of terror is aimed at destroying all opposition to the decades old oppressive rule of the Chinese Six Companies. This terror campaign is specifically aimed at organized youth who will no longer tolerare this nor the inhumanness and racism of Amer- ica. The people of Chinatownrealize that the invasion of our community is no different than the illegal invasion of Laos by the US im- perialists, the raids against the offices of the Black Panther Party and the harrassment of Chicano and Native American communi- ties. If the pigs continue to brutal- ize and harrass the Chinese com- “munity, they will surely face the wrath of the people.

Abour 50,000 people live within a 17-block area. While the average density of the rest of San Francisco Is 32.8 persons, Per acre, in Chinatown, 230.7 Persons share an acre. Immigrants from Hong Kong arrive in San Francisco at the rate of 5,000 per year, Most of them settle in Chinatown. Decent housing is a vital need for the Chinese community, The average family in Chintown has four child- ren; 41% of the families have a combined income of only $4,000 a year, People in Chinatown us- Wally pay 30% - 50% of their income for rent, Not only is housing expensive. ft is dangerous and unhealthy. Half the dwellings are single- rooms in Lving hotels. Large families often are forced to rent several rooms in these hotels. 75%, of these rooming houses have no heat. The rooms are very small--in many cases under the minimum size required by housing codes. Often there is only one bath for as many as 30 rooms.

Newton So appropriately, named him), was the Commissioner of the Philadelphia Pig Department. Under his reign as Police Com- missioner and before he reached that rank in the Philadelphia Pig Dept., countless murderr and bruralities gainst the oppressed community. He not only ruled the Pig De- partment, but also the whole city through his faidiful lackey, Mayor James Tate. * On Tuesday, February 2nd, Rizzo resigned from his post as Commissioner in order to run for Mayor. His stated reason for runnirg for that office is ‘i'm the best man for the job’’ and "no one could handle it better than me"’. In a way, that’s true, for he is the best fascist availa- ble for the job of running a ‘Nazi’ police-state, having schooled himself well in the ways of Hitler. The true reason that he wants to run for the title of Mayor is because in that position he could exclusively and com- pletely contro! the functioning of the city of Philadelphia, not for the benefit of the People, but for the benefit of the right wing re- actionary forces of fascism and racism. Though his official candidacy for mayor wasn’t announced until February 2nd, the campaign to have him installed in that position has been going on for years. In a manner that would make any Mafia Chief blush, he has skill- fully controlled and managed the news media in this city, which, in turn, has created a Daniel Boone type legend about him. According to the print and e- lectronic media here, he is a4 god fighting for the forces of “good, instead of the blood- thirsty, power-hungry fiend that the people know him as. A year ago this month, he even tried to appoint ex-policemen to high positions in this city to make it more convenient for him when he's elected mayor, (Fortunately, ithe masses prevented this.)

This house-to-house under the pretext that the community had knowledge of the planned execution. On Monday, February 15th, Deputy pigs Samuel Garcia Infante, A.J, Robertson, and Wendell Dover invaded a home in the commun- ity of West Dallas, allegedly in search of stolen property, Deputy pigs A.D, McCurley and William Reese followed them with search warrants, As they entered the home, they found the three other pigs tied up in chairs with guns being held to their heads. All five of the enemy forces were then taken to the Trinity River bottom. A revolutionary execution was carried out with swiftness and efficiency, leaving three pigs dead and another wounded, Reese, whose binding had come loose, survived the execution by backing up over the bank that sloped some 20 feet to the edge of the river. He later reported to his superiors the cries (sniveling) of his fellow gestapo as they begged for their lives. The entire community may have known that the enemy forces were free, tied up in the house. But the people’s endorsement of this act of ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE] revolutionary violence cannot be disputed. THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1971 PAGE 6 THE WHEELS OF INJUST TO RAILROAD G.L.’S. INTO STOCKADES Camp Pendleton, Oceanside,Calif, February 6, 1971 The wheels of injustice grind constantly at military bases as GIs are processed daily into Stockades to serve out sentences they don't deserve. Camp Pendle- ton, & Marine Corps base in California is no exception. We know about the following three prisoners because we got to know them in the course of our political work In Oceanside. We could write 50 stories sim- ilar to these about other guys at the Pendleton brig. Private David Osborne (Ozzio), a 20 year old white marine, is still being held prisoner by the Marine Corps. Busted while orying to re- turn from a 10 month vacation in Canada, Ozzie is now facing a@ three year prison term and a dishonorable discharge. In most cases, a 10 month absence would result in simple Separation from the Corp with an undesirable discharge, Ozzie, however, had the audacity to use his mind, despite the old adage that ‘‘the Marine Corps doesn’t pay you to think’’, Not only does the Marine Corps not pay you to think, but people who display this quality are dealr with harshly. The only reason for the extreme harshness of the charges being brought against Ozzie is that he is politically FRAGGING “I lock my door when | go out, and 1 check for booby traps when 1 come in. I'm leery of getting In dark places. But I have never been a worrier and 1 don’t reckon I'll start now. I'm concerned about it, but I'm not worried,”’ -Sergeant Gene Tingley Vietnam (AP) Sergeant Tingley was lucky; the hard-nosed, hard-headed profes- sional usually got to the orderly room by 6 a.m. in the morning to relieve the night sergeant. That morning he overslept. Ar 6:03 five pounds of plastic ex- plosives blew the headquarters apart. "It took me until about noon to figure out they were out to get me,"’ the 37 year old veteran said, “‘then it was kind of shock- ing.” Tingley was the target of a *“‘fragging’--a GI term for an attack on another American by a fragmentation grenade or other explosive. As Gl's fed up with the war move more and more toward insurrection, fragging officers and lifers has sharply increased in recent months. Recently one white major was killed and another wounded at Quang Tri with a small caliber weapon after one of the officers yanked the plug out of a Black GI's stereo. The officers entered the lack enlisted men's hut shortly after midnight and order- ed the brothers to turn the music down, They complied. Then the officers noticed that two of the soldiers in the hut were not as- Signed to the unit and ordered them out. They started to argue and the music went up full blast. It was then the plug was yanked from the socket. Sources related: “So ane of the majors was OFFICERS: = G.1.'S standing in the doorway and the next thing he knew he was on the ground wounded and there was another flash, and the second major went down,"’ Three Blacks were held and troops at the Quang Tri head- quarters were ordered to turn in all weapons, grenades and am- munition, Life magazine des- eribed a similar confrontation be- tween Gl's and a NCO (Non-Com- missioned Officer) in a late Octo- *ber issue: “‘When the company's first ser- geant--a 44 year old, 6'2"', big- bellied, 257 pound giant with a bikinied girl tattooed over 12 in- ches of forearm, the draftees in- Stantly read about his 25 years of service in his seamed face., He paused to mop the sweat from his brow with the tattooed girl, I'm out to kill gooks,’ he said, ‘that’s what i'm paid for.’ Around the fire base the litter of abandoned ammunition annoyed him. Twice he drew and leveled his pistol to enforce an order, The secondtime, the young soldier he had been arguing with called his bluff and ran off to get his M 16. The two readied for an incredible high-noon show- down,,."" “In Scanlan’s, Richard Wil- lam, who had served seven years in Vietnam, was quoted: **When | was a guard in the Long Binh stockade there were 23 guys there for killing their CO's (Command- ing officers) and 17 others were already on trial for killing CO's" Ever since 23 members of the now famous Bravo company refus- ed to goon patrol in early 1970, there has been a phenomenal es- culation of open rebellion among GI's in Vietnam, culminating in many aggressive officers and NCO's being offed by their own men, As wounded Marine Kon <Hect To Kill FIGHT BACK Mounce described the elimination of onegunghosergeant: “He was 4 gunnery sergeant, and he had a whole watch that night, and he had a perimeter to watch, He'd just gotten there-- a real dog. So there's a bunch of guys just got together and tossed about three grenades inthe hole with him.’’ Another marine; “We got into this trap by this incredible lieutenant,,.there were only nine of us left. We got out but he wanted to go back.

This action by the pigs is an attempt to use the people against the people to further perpetrate acts of brutality and murder upon the people, The oppressed people of com- munities throughout the world are resisting the imperialist by waging armed struggle to rid their communities of warmon- gering pigs that perpetrate acts of violence upon them, We here in Babylon must pick up the gun, as the people in the communities of Korea, China, Vietnam and Africa fave done and remove the forces of the oppressor that attempt to invade our community under the guise of serving the people, LIBERATE THE COMMUNITIES OF THE WORLD East Coast Ministry of Information LIBERATION SCHOOL The Liberation School will be held on Saturdays from 10:50 to 3:30, A free lunch will be includ- ed, There will also be tutorial programs Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 to 6 P.M.,.

Beverly Gaines In the course of the Black Panther Party’s and oppressed people's fight for survival and liberation, we encounter individ- Walists and opportunists who attempt to capitalize on our very fight. When people of this caliber are detected and proven, the Black Panther Party moves to expose them to insure the well being of the people, At this time the Black Panther Party denounces the opportunistic and individualist activity of Cur- tis Gaines, his wife, Beverly Gaines, Cornelius Jackson, and Don Lister (Red Dog), These jackanapes have used the name of the Black Panther Party and its programs, under the guise of a National Committee to Curtis Gaines Combat Fascism in Dallas, Texas to rip off money from the oppressed people of that commun- ity. Money collected for the break- fast program and liberation school has been completely squan- dered on personal luxuries such as liquor, elaborate entertainment, and the use of drugs (the use of drugs is in direct violation of the rules of the Black Panther Party). In addition to overtly exploiting and deceiving the already op- pressed people of the community of Dallas, Curtis Gaines is also on the United States government payrolls and has been since the inception of the N,C.C,F, Secretly, under the guise of a poverty program, this pig agent received monthly checks from the J, Edgar DISBANDED — Cornelius Jackson Hoover regime.

Central Black Panther Headquarters Party ATTEMPTED SABOTAGE OF HARLEM OFFICE In the aftermath of the juck- anape escape of Michael Cetewayo and Connie Tabor and Richard Dheruba Moore in New York that directly caused the incarceration of two Panthers, Afent Shakur and Joan Byrd, the pig repression in that city escalated 100%. With this escalated repression, and knowing that at any moment the fascist New York gestapo might attempt a raid on Purty offices and homes under the yulse of looking for ball jumpers, the Tabors and Moore, the vigilance of the Panthers increased, James Gregory Davidson On Tuesday night, January 9, 197], at about 3:30 am,, James Nixon and James Gregory David- son, who had been working out of the Harlem office, called from the office to another Party member to inform him that the pigs were circling the office constantly and that there was a sniper on the roof, This situation was immediately investigated and it was found that there were no pig cars aroundthe office, nor was there anyone on the roof, A few hours later, these same two jackanapes reported that pigs had broken through the front door and thar they had defended themselves and escaped through 4 back window Again upon hearing this report, other Panthers moved to investigate the situation. When the Panthers arrived at the office, they found the door Intact and also Harlem Office Front discovered that there were 17 bullet holes inthe wall---all going out. That is, they had all been fired from inside the office. At the time (6:05 am.) of the fabricated shoot-out, 4 commun- ity worker who had come to pick- up breakfast food was outside the office, Fortunately, she heard the first shot that was fired be- fore she was directly in front of the office and had a chance to safeguard her Life. The activities of these two fools, James Nixon and James Gregory Davidson must be viewed as those of provocateurs. It 1+ obvious that they had pre-planned a vile plot to bring the pigs down upon the Harlem Branch office and its workers, Had the conspired murder of Party members and raids on Party offices been suc- cessful there would be an unknown number of Panthers incarcerated for the infamous ‘‘crime of con- Spiracy to commit murder,”* The Black Panther Party de- nounces James Nixon and James Gregory Davidson as agent pro- vocateurs and serve notice that they are purged from the Black Panther Party for life. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Harlem Branch Black Panther Party THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1971 PAGE 9 BLACK STUDENTS STRIKE IN BOSTON For the past two weeks, Black high school students throughout the city of Boston have been on strike because of the racistprac- tices of the Boston School system, The strike has been a climatic point in the student's fight to end oppression in the schools, Since the first day of the strike, more than eight high schools have gone on strike with close to 1000 stu- dents participating. The five major strike demands are: (1) appointment of more Black teachers and guidance counselors to be approved by the students, @) Black studies courses to be approved by the students, (3)com- plete amnesty for all supportive and striking students, (4) end to harrassment of Black students by white students and teachers, and ‘) evaluation of the BostonSchool System by a review boardofcom- munity members, The Boston School Committee (elected officials who decide the policies for city schools) is now attempting to make a scapegoat out of a member of the Black Student Federation that, along with the students helped to initiate the strike, The School Committee has also asked for additional pigs to patrol five of the city’s high schools, and to check all those entering and leaving, At Dorchester High School there have been incidents of sniping at the Black students. AcBoston Eng- lish, students who are seconds late for classes are quickly Boston Students On Strike whisked out of the hallways by - plain-clothed’ pigs, and inter- rogated in gestapo fashion, At jeremiah E, Burke High School for Girls, demands of the students for sanitary napkins, soap, toilet paper andother necessary health items have been ignored. The ordering of more pigs Into the high schools is Indicative of the Boston School Committee's answer to the demands of the Black students---more repres- sion. To shed some light onthe Boston School Committee: one of Its former members is Louise Day Hicks, a blatant racist and an active supporter of pig George Wallace during the 1968 U.S, pres- idental campaign.

They mentioned only some facts andnot everything and showed no sign of any change of policy.’* (Senators Scranton and Fulbright, March 6 and 9, 1970). Obivously, Nixon cannot dupe public opinion which bases its judgemént not merely on the words but also on the deeds of the Nixon administration during the recent past. After Nixon came to power, the so-called “"Nixon doctrine on Asia’ saw the light which consists in providing more U.S. advisers, weapons and firepo- wer to the Asians, while the latter contribute more mercen- aries for the U.S, The formula of this doctrine is ‘‘native soldiers plus U.S, advisers and maximum logistic and air sup- port’’, This is “in fact a more elaborate and more refined form of U.S. neo-colonialism’s wicked policy of making Asians fight Asians, and natives fight natives. The active application of that The Resistance government formed in 1950 against the French Colonialists. doctrine in Laos finds 4 con- crete expression in the steps ,of escalation taken by the Nixon administration in its aggressive war in Laos during the past 15 months, escalation in the logistic supply, in the supply of U.S, military personnel and in theuse of US. troops in the “special war’’. Under the Nixon administra- tion, the amount of U.S, ald to Laos and military personnel introduced Into this country have increased at almost the same rate, Compared with the 140 mil- lion dollars in 1967, U.S, aidin 1969 rosé to 25 llion dolls of which only the economic and technical aid, accounting for less than 60 million was announced, while the rest was almost ex- clusively used for military pur- poses. Thus, military aid - about 190 million dollars a year, - is more than treble the economic aid and makes up 80 per cent of the total ald, This figure is ap- proximately the same a5 esti- mated by Senator A.J, Allender in «a censured report on the scale of American involvement in the war In Laos (AP, Jan. 22 1970), It is necessary to note that what is described as ‘'economic and technical" has also been used for secret activities of a mill- tary character. On June 7, 1970, J.A, Hanna, Director of the US, \gency for International De- velopment, disclosed that thet t-0 combat aid program also covers the CIA activities in Laos. At present, according to 4 starement of Sena- tor M, Mansfield on September 21, 1969, U.S, aid in Laos had exceeded 300 million dollars a year and continued to increase. Obviously, the Nixon adminis- tration is squandering in Laos more und more money of the A- merican people, while serious Social problems in the United States are yet unsettled, because enormous sums are being spent for unjust wars in Laos and in Indochina as a whole. On March 6, 1970, Nixon said there advisers and military personnel out of the 1040 Americans operating ir Laos and denied the presence of any U.S, combat troops in Laos. hat is not true, Compared with the 5,000 U.S, military personne} in Laos under the Johnson ad- ministration, the figure rose to 12,000 U.S, military personnel, with or without military uniform in the first period of the Nixon administration, Of them, there were at least 2,000 air force advisers, or 800 more than in 1967. The number of U.S, advisers assigned tothe *'special forces” training centres and regular units of the puppet army increased from {50 to 1,000 (ac- cordim: to a British source, the figure might be 2,000), ‘The U.S, “special forces’’ operating in southern Loos are estimated at were 64 about 1,200 men, Thus there Is one U.S. military adviser for every six Laos puppet soldiers (compared to the 70,000 men of the Vientiane army). In addition according to a statement of Senator R. Ortinger on April 24, 1970, at least half of the 48,000 U.S. air force personnel in Thailand (i.e. 24,000) are now directly participating in air acti- vities in Laos. All told, the num- ber of U.S, military men now taking part in military activities in Laos on the ground and In the air has run into tens of thousands at least equal to half of the total effectives of the Laos puppet army. The running of the U.S, colos- sal war machine In Laos remains an affair of the U.S, embassy, Nixon's ambassador to Vietiane remains a military proconsul. The paper “France Soir"’, on March 3, 1970 said everything in Laos is controlled from the building of the U.S, embassy which houses the brain of the war machine. The number of army and air force military attaches of the U.S. embassy exceeds 200, an unusual {igure for a foreign diplo- matic mission in a country like Laos, The USAID agency in Laos is also operating within the framework of the U.S, diploma- OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE LAO ALATION OF THE U.S. WARK tic mission in Vientiane and is working for the CIA, On June 7, 1970, J.A, Hanna acknowledged that Laos Is the only place where such things happened and said he did not approve Ir. Of late some 1,200 U.S, “‘green berets’ were introduced into Laos, whose command is in Udorn (Thailand), U.S, Senator Metayes on February 27, 1970 said the number of U,S, ‘‘green berets’’ in Laos had exceeded that of U.S, milltary advisers in South Viet Nam in the past. In late 1969 and early 1970, U.S, combat troops took part in ground ar- tacks on the Plain of Jars area, Xieng Khoang province. The U.S, magazine ‘‘Newsweek’’ on April 6, 1970 affirmed that the CIA office in Saigon was recruiting GI's who had once fought inSouth Viet Nam as mercenaries in Laos with a weekly salary of some 1,000 dollars. Vithout any doubt, there have been more and more Gls parti- cipating in the fighting In Laos. On March 6, 1970 U.S, Senator Alan Cranston pointed out that Americans are fighting In Laos. “The fact that some of them do not wear uniforms does not change this one bit. The fact is that A- merican combat troops in uni- form have been fighting in Lacs." continued on next page New textile factory at Sam-Neua THE LAO PATRIOTIC FRONT ‘Americans have not only taken part in the fighting but also suf- fered casualties in their military activities in Laos, in the air as well as on the ground, Some of the numerous instances to the in May 1968, more than a squad of Gls was killed in the patties at Pathi, an important stronghold of the “‘special for- ces” Wiegally established in the area tinder the contro! of the Laos parriotic forces in Sam Neua province. U.S. officers operating the radar station there were also killed. Many other Gis were killed or injured in recent battles inthe Plain of Jars antithe Sam Thong ~ Long Cheng are’ (Xieng Khoang province). U.S, casualties in the air and on the ground are no Jonger counted by the dozens, The testimony of the U.S, Senate sub-committee said thar nearly 200 Americans had been killed - This, naturally, Is still below reality - and charge that Nixon was lying when he said there were no U.S, combat casualties in Laos. According to U.S, Senators A, Gore and S. Young, among thousands of U.S, military per- sonnel killed in Laos since 1%2, some 400 perished in the past few years. On March 8, 1970, G. Waren spokesman for the White House admitted that a U.S, captain and 26 Gls were killed in a ground attack in Laos. Senators §. Symington and M. Mansfield pointed our that it was not serious to say that no Americans were found in fighting in Laos. Agrave thing {is that hundreds of Americans had lost their lives there. Most odious of all, in an attempt to deny the presence of 1.5. combat troops in Laos, Nixonhas ordered destruction of the bodies of Gead Americans during ground battles. At Pathi, U.S, aircraft came and rained bombs on the areas where battles had just taken place, to burn down almost all the bodies of dead Gls. Re- cently, the ‘'Washington Sunday Star"’ carried a Vientiane report which quoted well-informed Laos Sources ad saying that ‘‘bodles of American Central Intelligence A- gency operatives killed inground combat operations in Northeast Laos maimed as much as possible."’ The report added; “The Americans have orders they must not be captured. If they are killed, other members of their patrol put a grenade on their faces or shoot them up with their machine guns till they can’t be recognized,” Contrary to Nixon's allegation about his concern for ‘protecting American lives"’ Nixon is squan- dering more and more blood of the American people in the ilegal and immoral war In Laos. More- Demonstration into a death place then destroy- ing their bodies, Nixon has doubled his crimes against the American People, With the U,S, lending a hand, the Vientiane puppet army in- creased from 130 battalions in 1968 ro 150 battalions in late 1959, anc: its effectives rose from 60, 000 to 70,000 men in the same period, In 1969by the way of Thai- land, the Nixon administration supplied the Vientiane army with numerous M, 16 quick -firing rifles with a view to gradually modernizing this army. Since early 1970 the Nixon administra- tion has twice given the latter additional OV,10 and **Spooky” AC,47 aircraft equipped each with three machineguns capable of firing 18,000 rounds a minute. In the reinforcemem of the Stooge army, the U.S, has paid special attention to building “special forces"’ recruited from among the tribal minorities in Upper and Lower Laos, through bribery and coercion. Often re- ferred to by the U.S. and Wes- tern press as ‘secret army" of General Vang Pao, this force while nominally forming part of the Vientiane army, is in fact directly trained, equipped and commanded through a special of- fice code-named ''H.Q. 333"" in- stalled in WU dorn. Through divisive tricks, the U.S, has en- deavoured to build the ‘'special forces’’ into a main and shock force, regarding it as a special tool for the materialization of the Nixon doctrine in Laos. In this connection, the U.S, press has disclosed many things about this cruth which had long been kept secret by the authorities: the U.S, is maintaining and con- trolling a ‘*clandestine army” in Laos. There are three CIA re- presentatives beside General Vang Pao at his headquarters in Long Cheng, and a great num- ber of others are operating a- longside Vang Pao’s units on various battlefields, The U.S. Agency for International De- velopment (USAID) is taking in hands the transport of military goods, food and other war sup- plies to soldiers of this army and their families (International Herald Tribune and New York Times, October 27, 1969). The US. has given priority to equipping the ‘‘special forces,"’ and put 4 large number of helicopters at the disposal of these forces to increase their mobility, and helped them ex- pand from 64 batallions in 1968 to 84 battalions in late 1969 totaling nearly 20,000 men be- longing to three kinds of armed forces mobile force, regional force ind guerilla units, known as ‘‘secret units’’ in the *‘clan- destine army’. Jie ma against the U.S, imperialist aggressor and their lackeys continued from last page Apart from the regular bat- talions, the U.S, has built for the “special forces’’ three mobile regiments with fairly modern equipment and a number of “‘shock"’ battalions best trained and equipped for use in the main assaults and the occupation uf important positions. The Nixon administration has Spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this undertaking. On October 28, 1969, Senator William Fulbright said ‘*The United States was spending 150 million dollars a year to sup- port a clandestine army in Laos. The money was being spent to supply, equip, train and transport this army. It was ‘‘most unusal and frregular - if not unconsti- tutional’, Fulbright added. The U.S, has built in many Places in northern and southern Laos, including anumber of areas which had once been controlledby the Lao patriotic forces but later illegally occupied by the U.S, and its lackeys, a network of strong- holds defended by the ‘‘special forces"’, including modernly equipped bases Like Pathi, to direct the bombings and rescue downed pilots. These are base- camps for nibbling attacks on the regions under the control of the Lao patriotic forces. Par- ticularly, the U.S, has concen- trated efforts on the building of the major basecamps of the **special forces ** in Sam Thong - Long Cheng southwest of the Plain of Jars, and in the stra- tegic Bolovens Plateaux in Low- er Laos, On the Sam Thong and Long Cheng bases, the U.S, and Wes- tern newspapers and agencies noted that these two key bases are not only a centre of intel- ligence, supply and command of General Vang Pao’s clandestine army now operating in the Pathet Lao territroy (the li- berated zone - Ed), but also the centre of a very powerful radio communication network, an operational headquarters and air liason centre of the Whole of Upper Laos under the CIA con- trol. The Long Cheng airfield is one of the busiest airbases in Laos with a plane taking off and another landing every minute. AFP on March Ist, 1970 said that this Sam Thong - Long Cheng complex ‘‘constitutes just the heart of American military inter— vention in Upper Laos’’, Another important centre of the ‘'special forces'’ {s the cluster of strong~ holds at Bolovens, headquarters of the so-called "special guerilla units’, The U,S, has established there a big radar installation to direct the air strikes in Laos and Viet Nam as well, (LO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK) for bombing the liberated zone. THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1971 PAGE 15 STATEMENT BY MINISTER XUAN THUY, CHIEF OF THE DELEGATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF VIET NAM, “AT THE 101st PLENARY SESSION OF THE PARIS CONFERENCE ON VIET NAM. (ON FEBRUARY 4, 1971) Ladies and Gentlemen, By its recent actions the Nixon administration has further proved that it is not willing to negotiate seriously on the basis of respect for the Vietnamese people's fundamental national rights. Instead, it has appliedthe “*Nixon doctrine’’, obstinately pursuing the policy of prolonging and expanding its war of ag- gression, in the hope of winning a military victory, gaining 4 position of strength, and compel- ling the South Viet Nam people to accept U.S, neo-colonialism. 1, While continuing its aggres- sion against Viet Nam and ex- panding the war to Cambodia, the Nixon Administration is intensi- fying its war of aggression in Laos, thus causing the situation in South-east Asia to be very serious, Going against the June 30, 1970 statements by Mr. Nixon himself, statements that were termed “‘principles of the U.S, Cambodian policy’, the Nixon administration has used its air and naval forces and part of its infantry to escalate the war of aggression in Cambodia, Of late, it has been stepping up the air war to extreme in- tensity and it is preparing for large-scale operations against Lao territory. According to A.P. February Ist, 1971, ‘‘the bombing campaign in Laos, the longest in the Indochina war, has entered its USth day’. Information from various sources has revealed that for the past few consecutive days, there were daily 300 -- 400 tactical aircraft and 30 B.S2 bombers of the U.S,A,F, dropping thousands of tons of bombs over southern Laos. While increasing the spying activities of comman- do groups far Into the liberated areas of southern Laos, the United States has mobilized tens of thousands of Saigon puppet and U.S. troops along the frontiers between Laos and Viet Nam. U,S, news agencies and press af- firmed that the U.S, command had sent Saigon puppet troops into southern Laos. According to Reuter, January 30, 1971, “American official circles did not rule out the possibility of a military operation like that launched by the United States in the Cambodian border region last summer," In his statementdated February Ist, 1971, the spokes- man of the Central Committee of the Lao Patriotic Front pointed out; "'The United States is pre- paring to further escalate the war in Laos with the massive parti- cipation of U.S, Air Force, South Vietnamese puppet troops, ele- ments of the Thai army, and -- this possibility is not excluded— part of the American ground forces, This constitutes 4 gross violation ‘of the 1962 Geneva Agreements on Laos, not only undermining the recent peace ef- forts of the Lao Patriotic Front but also placing |_aos inthe grave danger of extended and prolonged war and seriously menacing the peace of South-east Asia and the world,” Along with the expansion and intensification of the war inCam- bodia and Laos, the Nixon Ad- ministration has continuously sent its planes, including B52 bombers, to attack the Democra- tie Republic of Viet Nam and to violate its air space, In the gulf of Bac Bo, it has increased the number of aircraft carriers be- longing ‘to its 7th fleet and In- solently threatened to use its air power “to compel Hanol to make concessions.” It should be stressed that the Nixon Administration's policy of intensifying and expanding the war of aggression, continuing its role of international gendarme has been made official by the public statements of Defense Secretary Melvin Laird and Secretary of State William Rogers. On January 20, 1971, Mr. Laird said: ‘*The US, will use air power on a wide-open basis in Cambodia and elsewhere in Indochina,"’ On January 27,he also said; ‘in keeping with the Nixon doctrine, we will use as necessary sea and air resources to supplement the efforts andthe armed forces of our friends and allies"’ such as**Cambodia’’.... “We have no Intention of re- nouncing the commitments im- posed on us by our all-important role in the world."’ On January 29, 1971, Mr. William Rogers re- affirmed the “‘right’’ of the United States to “‘use its air power at the highest level throughout Indochina."’ ble didnot rule out the possibility of U,S, forces supporting Saigon puppet troops in the invasion of Laos, He also said: ‘‘It is essential that we maintain maximum pres- sure on the enemy.’’ The Nixon administration's policy of inten- sifying the war of aggression is further evidenced by the fact that it has increased its military bud- get for 1972 to 76 billion dollars (1.6 billion dollars more than 1971) for the imolementation of the so-called ‘peace strategy"’ based on negotiations ‘‘from a position of strength.” It is evident that the Nixon ad- ministration is escalating both the war and the ‘‘reasons"’ put forward to justify its aggression. The pretext of ''defending the lives of Americans'’ is quite cynical, If the Nixon administra- tion is really concerned about American lives, why does it stub- bornly reject the proposals made on September 17 and December 10th, 1970by the Provisional Rey- olutionary Government of the Re- public of South Viet Nam, pro- posals that open the way for the safe and honourable withdrawal of all the G,L.’s from Viet Nam? We energetically condemn the acts of war and the absurd and impudent argumentations of the Nixon Administration. They constitute an insolent challenge to broad sectors, of world public opinion and to progressive people in the United States who are re- solutely demanding thatthe Nixon Administration put an end to its continued on next page THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1971 PAGE 16 STATEMENT BY XUAN THUY aggression, andimmediately, to- tally, and unconditionally with- draw U.S, and satellite troops from Indochina, 2. The “Nixon doctrine” is one of war; {t has falled and can- not avoid complete failure in Indochina. In july 1969, when he expounded his *‘doctrine™ for the first time in Guam, Mr. Nixon wanted to make believe that it was a doc- trine of peace, The image of the United States he gave was thatof a country ‘*breaking away from the past’’, desiring to give up its role of international gendarme, to gradually reduce its commit- ments, and to abstain from new ones, 4 Country no longer seeking a military victory, avoiding other Viet Nam wars, concerned only with economic aid. With regard to Viet Nam and Indochina, Mr Nixon promised to end the war, and said that the United States would ‘restrain’ itself, thar Ir would reduce the level of hosti- lities, withdraw its troops, and would not be involvedin new wars of aggression in Laos and Cam- bodia, etc. Facts have shown that far from ‘restraining himself” or reduc- ing the level of hostilities, Mr. Nixon stepped up and expanded the war. Farfrom giving up com- mitments, he became more com- mitted and engaged deeper in war, Far from pulling outallUS, troops, he continued to maintain hundreds of thousands of G,.1,'s indefinitely in South Viet Nam. Facts have shown that far from “breaking away from the past’ he proved to be more bellicisr than the previous administration, He once sald; *'We must not fool ourselves, The American people must have the full truth’’ (mes- sage on foreign policy, part dealing with Viet Nam, February 18, 1970), In recent days, many important newspapers, many American statesmen pointed out that the Nixon Admidstration was decelving the American peo- ple, talking one way and acting another, The extension of the war, they said, andthe increased involvetnent of the United States in Laos and Cambodia would impede U,S, croop withdrawals instead of accelerating it’, ‘tin practical deeds, the Nixon doc- tine is scarcely different from the policy of intervention ad- vanced by John Foster Dulles over ten years ago." Under the head line ‘‘An old Scenario in Cambodia’’, the New York Times wroteon January 30, 1971: “History is repeating itself in Southeast Asia. The insidious insertion of American military power into Cambodia in support of a faltering regime ominously parallels the events of early 1965 which entrapped the United States in 4 major war in neighbouring Viet Nam." In its issue of February 8,197) Newsweek wrote about the possi- bility of Saigon puppet troops be- ing used by the United States for aggression in Laosunder Ameri- can air support 4s follows:"'The administration seeemedto be on the verge of buying apig ina poke in the kingdom of Laos."* In brief, the ‘"Nixon doctrine"’ has now been Jald bare as one aimed at making aggressionwith new methods, using Asians to fight Asians, under US, com- mand, with the material supplie: ali and naval support of the United States, not excluding the Support of U.S, ground forces. This is evident to everyone, Ladies and gentlemen, We have polnated out that after two years of implementation, the ten Nixon doctrine’’ far from re- tieving U.S, defeats in Viet Nam, continued from page 4 BOZO (RIZZO) RUNS FOR MAYOR 1/28/70 Raymond Brooks mur- dered by Pig Richard Carter who shothim point-blank through the CF a Raymond‘ Twine’ Brooks Killed by Rizzo's fascist dogs nose while ‘off-duty’.

At present, Spurred on by thelr victories, the three Indo- chinese peoples will sharpen their vigilance and will smash all new military ventures of the United States and its agents, in- cluding the intensification of the U.S, air war throughout Indo- china, No enemy, however cruel he may be, no insolent menance can weaken the unshakable deter- mination of the Vietnamese, the Lao, and the Cambodian peoples in their fight for thelr fundamen- tal national rights."’ Of late, many American con- gressmen have demanded that the Nixon administration stop its ex- pansion of the war in Indochina, and bring home all the G,I,’s.No doubt, the American people will not tolerate the fact that the Nixon administration continues to force American youths to go to death in Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia and to sink the United States deeper into economic and social difficulties, The Nixon administration Should realize that they will never be able to gain a posirion of str th through military means order to compel the other s © accept its conditions of neo- colonialist peace. lk had better give up aggression, end the war, and give a positiveresponse to the logical and reasonable pro- posals of the Provisional Revolu- (onary Government of the Ke- * public of South Viet Nam, - which proposals are still here before you -So a8 to achieve 4 correct peaceful settlement of the Vier Nam problem. 4 Jim Palmer brutalized by pigs and the Black People of Phila- delphia, must see to it thar this Super-pig does not win the e- lection to Mayor, You can see by the mentality of this fool thar he is not fit for a Mayor, commissioner or anything.

Black Panther Party Philadelphia Branch SISTER FORCED 10 LIVE IN WASH HOUSE BY HOUSING AUTHORITY PIGS On November 9, 1970, the pigs came up to 1669 Bist. Avenue, Apt. 3 in East Oaklend, California and arrested Mrs, Lula Mae Johnson and her daughter's 16 year oldboy friend, Andre Allen. Over Mrs, Johnson's loud protests, the pigs brutalized Andre when they crash- ed through the door under absolu- tely no pretext of justice, Also as aresult of her protests, Mrs. Johnson was arrested andbrutal- ized (shoulder was broken and spine twisted) herself and charged with contributing tothe delinquen- cy of a minor, After spending ten days at Santa Rita *‘Rehabil- itation’’ Center with no medical attention, Lula Mae Jotinson was bailed out for $700,00, Since this initial act of repres- Sion Lula Mae, her daughter, Sandra, and her grandson, Andre, have received continuedharass- ments from the various agencies of the pigs. For the last few months Lula Mae has been plagued by the bureacracy of the welfare department, She receivednonne- gotiable checks from the welfare and therefore, every monththey would have to be returned, As a result she got behind in paying her Mrs, Lula Mae Johnson and grandchild Johnson, her 17 year old daughter and 10 month old grandson, They were allowed to take only a few clothes from the house, The gencrosity of anelghbor provided a place for Sandra and Lil’ Andre to stay but Mrs. John- son was still left In the streets. The nelghbors also collected food and additional clothing for her, At this point, Lula Mae Johnson was forced to make her homeon the cold concrete floor of the wash- house in the back of the apartment building. After wiging a hard struggle with the pigs of the Housing Authority, Lula Mae and her family were allowed to moveback into a house and her furniture and Mrs, Lula Mae Johnson and grandchild leaving in wash house. bills including her rent, Ar this point, the Qakland Housing Authority, with full knowledge of the financial problem, started eviction procedures. Hut there was nothing that Mrs. johnson could do because since her beating by thepigs, she has been dis- abled and California pig Governor Resagan’s genocidal cutbacks in medical cause her to have to spend what little money she gets on med- icines, On Wednesday, January 27, 1971, the Housing authority senttheir armed gestapo to evict Mrs. remaining clothes werereturned, It is evident that the entire eviction was nothing but harassmentbe- cause the Housing Authority could and did find am alternative, Its hard to say for how long Mrs. Johnson and her family will be able to live without harassment be- cause they are only an exampleof the oppression that runs rampant through Babylon, Only dy taking the head of the oppressor, can the people insure themselves 4 peace- ful life, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Enter my Subscription for (check box, Domestic Subscriptions Foreign Subscriptions $2.00 3 MONTHS: (13 ISSUES)....0 $2.50 3 6 MONTHS: (26 ISSUES)....1 $3.00 ONE YEAR, (52 ISSUFS)....0 $7.50 (please print) NAME _. $12.00 35.00.

NEWTON, MINISTER OF DEFENSE, BLACK PANTHER PARTY What We Want hat We Believe 1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community We believe that black peop!e will not be free until we are able to deter- mine our destiny 2. We want full employment for our people We Selieve that the rederal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed incume. We beheve that af the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be tikes from the businessmen and placed in the comm nity se that the peeple of The community can organize and em plos all of its people and xive a high stundand of living 3. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of. forty acres and two mules. 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 in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people, therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand thal 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 thal our community, wilh 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 vlse *& 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- panizing 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, plack people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they 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 50 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 man’ 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 plebis- 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 naturg’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 seem most likely to effect their safety 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 that mankind are more disposed to suffer. while evils are sufferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed Bul, when a jong train of abuses and usurpations, pur- suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism, it iy their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern- ment. and to provide new guards for their future security.
