THE DLACK PANTIOLN, SATUNDAY, MARCH 19, 1971 PAGE 2 STATEMENT BY HUEY P. NEWTON, MINISTE OF DEFENSE OF THE BLACK PANTHER PART. AND SUPREME SEKVANT. OF THE PEOPIES % i THE OCCASION INTERCOMMUNAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY- Power to the People, Brothers and Sisters, First of all I would like to thank all of you for my very presence here, be- cause if it weren’! for the Power of the People, I wouldn't be here tonighi, I’m not here because of the Black Panther Party; I'm not here because of any grou, i'm not here because of a group of hamakazis, I’m here because of the Power of the People, We must remember that Revolution is a process, It's not a conclusion; because once we conclude, then we be- come counter-revolutionary. And that means even with the gun in our hands, because fascism also has a gun, And J would like to say tonight that the Black Panther Party stands against all forms of fascism, ecketing Sexual fascism, 1 chauvinism; A against sexual chauvinism, national chauvinism, We're intercom- munalists, Before I went to prison, most of you know, you are aware, that I never made any speeches, you see, be- cause I’m not a very eloquent man, I'm better known by the actions. And the Party was built upon the actions, And the action itself is a process. And we're not ever fixated, We haven't accepted any dogma, And we will not, And I would itke to say this, that from now on the Party itself will be better known by its contributions to the People, for the simple reason that some people around us seemto want to be knoun through the Media, But the Party can only judge itself through establish- ing certain survival programs, pending Revolution, Because remember, you make the Revolution, We can't free political prisoners, only the people can free political prisoners, And a people who are not free cannot free their pri- Soners, cannot free the prisoners that fascism makes, So I would like to say that we must work very hard in order to lift the consciousness of the people, We must free our Chairman Bobby Seale, Angela Davis, Ruchell Magee, the Soledad Brothers, the seven and the three, and all other political pri- soners, Randy. We have to free all of them, But we must remember that we must exhaust every possible tactic, And we must let it be known that never broad- OF REVOL MAKCH 5, raat cast military tactics for military rea- sons, it’s perfectly correct to broad- cast military tactics for political rea- sons, That's what Uncle Ho said, and I agree with kim, So we would like for the people to know that there are many things that we will not discuss in public, But what you can do is watch the fruits of our work, And we would like to say that our Party became an intercommunal Party upon its actions, And I think that’s 1971 Ls g . a 2 ‘ UTIONARY Sam to be able to fight in a pro war, And that is why it is nec for us to develop the correct ideo which is a system of thinking, And must not rely upon and conclude with the philosophy, which isn’t necessarily @ conclusion, : So we're ideologically We're in a constant state of change And we fight with all people who to change, because we know change wi nu ey, very good, So I’m asking you in order offer our hope, So after all of this, we to free all political prisoners, free the must pay more attention to what people, free the woman and also the happening. Ihe news media has man, that we have to get together in unity by substituting verbal expressions for action, The final test of the pie is the action, We’ll stand on the Black Panther Party, The Black Panther Party from 1966 when it was formed will stand on its record, will ‘oar on ne action, We leftists; we mt claim to be | tile leftists, What we'll do is act in accordance with the particular set of conditions and the particulary problem that we have at a time, So please judge us upon our actions and we will develop like that, We will not develop with lip service coming from anyone, And some- times I'm very thankful thet I don't talk too well, because that’s only one way of communication. We say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but action is supreme. But what kind of action you take will depend upon the particular set of con- ditions, And I say all of this, because you know the Party and the world to- day is under turmoil, And this is very good, We always have welcomed all forms of contradictions, Because with- out the contradiction there is no trans- formation, So from the contradiction that has developed now in the world and in the Party, we hope to have a qualita- tive leap, Lf tris leap eliminates some of us, then, of course, we'll weep for that, But we must not stop the Revo- lution, I will not stop the Revolution, You should not stop it. And, for all that it's worth, we know that words will never stop it, Words will not start the Revolution either, Only action, ‘Sixty-six kicked off the armed mani- festation of Revolution in this country, because it focused upon the need for the People not only to gefend them- selves, but also to develop a conscious- ness necessary to perform and to act tempted to discredit the Party by that it’s over, because they don’t anyone, I think bl So than the Party, The involved in forty-fourie ants were so n c not rally them even with the “ oco They did not understand why the mili- tary, the regular military was dropping, So what did he do. He attempted to form certain programs that he called survival programs. He attempted to form a free health program in order — fo get the peasants inside, to help — them, and also to provide things for his — focos. He also took to form a free — breakfast program, a free shoe factory 5 and a sporting good store ( for obvious — yeasons), So programs are good, Be- cause an act that might be revolutionary — might be CONGEST, pg 4 correct preparations are So to be a serious ecchitesien aa | must know that we are involved ina process, and not a set of p th or conclusions that are of face-value revolutionary. I do not know one that is revolutionary in itself. And things might be revolutionary in con- text, In other words, capitalism was revolutionary when it kicked out feudal- ism, And now we have a situation the capitalists have become the imper- jalists, and the people of the world, — of the communities of the world have to kick them out, So in order 9 free Angela, Bobby, Ruchell Magee and all other political p ae must kick the fascists out, Irene not doi! with tip service, 9) Wye ot a bh POWER TO THE PEOPLE oho a , J 4 A

Many of the national character traits of the latter half of the 19th century were later to be found in fascism, | refer to both the psychological traits evinced by the overt racism that has always permeated Amorikal ociety, its ultra-nationalism, and 1 historically violent drive always to¢%~ pand to the next frontier, Then there ire the social institutions themselves, reaching as far back, at least, to the late 19th century, that support through cooptative devices the private pre? chool, elite universities, right wing nities, sororities, debutante ner camps for h and od trate bull eul institutions, the‘*right’*chara=

ties and clubs, Though somewhat less conspicuous today (for fear of raising or helping to raise resentment) these same psychological traits and the institu- tions that support a closed ruling class and their hired or co-opted rul- ing elites are still very much part of the capitalist scheme, All simply tends to work more smoothly with the ‘‘new deal.” 1 mentioned a closed ruling class and their co-opted ruling elites, This doesn't mean new people are not con- stantly being assimilated into the rul- ing class and others leaving, It simply means that the process is regulated, Co-optation does reach down to the very lowest classes also: fascism in its third and secure dimension allows for some social mobility--cven for the lowest, In fact, ir’s t necessary of the state .

They very stupidly handed this gifted Black woman the means of their own destruction, She brought her gifts back to us; she never really left us. Over the last year or so of our exchange of confidence, 1 am certain that Angela Davis had the seeds of revolutionary consciousness planted decply in her character from early childhood, | see this possibility reflected in every one of her contributions to our struggle. Jost how many of us after working for years toward a lucrative profes- BLACK PANTHER PARTY INTERCOMMUNAL NEWS SERVICE MARCH ! 4, 971 € sion would have, when challenged by the hated state, stood up, neck stiff 43 a stecl post, and denied not her- self or us, but the life style and system that vainly attempted to trap her in its dying contradictions, But the affair at U.C.L.A, was only 4 small event in the maturation of this extraordinary, revolutionary Black woman, that l hold in the great- est of esteem, and whom | and we are forced to love in a very, very special way, My efforts to prove to the fascist enemy that the concen- tration camp technique will not work on the Black man in America could never have progressed as far as they have without the combined efforts of the Black Panther Party and the great sacrifices this beautiful sister has had to make in speaking for me. She spoke for me, for all of us trapped in the double-maximum security hell of Amerika’s hidden repressive institu- tions, She has carriedherself through- out her political life above reproach, For Bobby, for Ericka, for us in the California death camps, her well- worded message was the same--Free- dom, Stop the quasi-legal lynching, But it would do her an injustice w mention these overt thrusts against the enemy state as her only contri- bution to revolutionary practice, She has and continues (from a heavy max- imum security situation of her own) to deal with the many contradictions that seem to hold our revolution in the doldrums, Some time ago she took on the additional responsibility of at- tempting to inject new life into the Amerikan Communist party with the explosive doctrines of Black liberation, She has never failed during her mem- bership in the A,C.P, to oppose those policies or the ideology that did not reflect the realities of the class and race antagonisms of present day U.S. A, The sum of her political activiry, throughout, has been non-sectarian and conducive to what I feel we all should be striving to achieve--a united left. As Black people of two separate political parties, she believes with me that we should not accept ready-made passed doun, older, and often not ap- plicable internal, ideological battles, As Black people of two separate polit- ical parties, we both find it very easy to agree that the Black segment of the lower classes must make up the vanguard of cny revolution that takes place here in the center of world capitalism, We have never foiled to agree on any subject bearing on rev~ olutionary political ideals, When cer- tain members of her party attacked Comrade Joncthan Jackson of the Black Panther Party for the “prac- tice’ of his beliefs, Angela attacked them, No reactionary A.C.P. policy or ideology or the individual who re- presents the policy or ideology is safe from her censure, They have heaped criticism back on her in turn, I do not think it fair that she should re- ceive criticism from her own party and the new vanguard also, I don't think any of us--as Black partisans- of the socialist revolution can afford the luxury of a protracted ideological Battle of any sort, We all live in the shadow of the gas chambers, or on @ collision course with a pig bullet. J am a convinced exponent of Huey Newton's and the Black Panther Party's stand on intercommunalism, Angela assails me with questions honestly and sincerely posed, | answer them, and question her on the value of the Black worker as a revolutionary agent, and © she presents solid evidence to the ef- fect that he is disciplined, forms nearly 30% of the entire industrial work force, and we meet, without the smallest hint of hostility, at the theor- etical juncture that, hypothetically, Huey'’s center city communes may be the vehicle for revolutionizing this all too conservative Black worker; then he in tum radicalize and revo- lutionize his White cowterpart, And finaliy we both recognize that ony contradictions in our beliefs are not basic and can be worked out with as- siduous revolutionary practice at the production and street level, Such dia- logue sincerely waged has to be the basis of a new revolutionary syllogism- exchange of ideals and practice minus any defensive reaction, The insecure and possibly counter- revolutionary elements of the A.C.P, represent Angela no more than do the Tabor couple, and RD, (Richard Dharuba) Moore, represent Huey P. Newton, The un-grounded attacks made on the Black Panther Party by these individuals of the A,C.P, must be viewed as they are--individualist and probably of an ulterior motive, All of the circular, cowiter-productive in- ternal struggles must be resolved be- fore we can move on our enemies; the ego must be taken out of revo- lution; the contradictions must stop at all cost and “by any means necessary’’. Angela Davis is no one's “‘darling liberal’, Lf she were she would not be sitting where she is now, And unlike Comrade Cleaver suggested, Angela has used her position as a noted poli- tical prisoner to focus the attention of all progressive forces on not only Comrade Bobby Seale’s jeopardy but Ericka’s also. Finally I feel that the real problems within Amerikan soctety, the grave tangibles at issue with Blacks inside this society, can only be resolved by pursuance of inter-communal “‘soli- darity’’, This is as important to our strength as the shotgun, the MI-Al, I call for an all out effort toward a united, progressive left!

THE BLACK PANTHE R, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1971 PACE to Continued from last page BLACK PEOPLE AND ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLE MUST MAINTAIN A UNITED FRONT held in isolation from the main pri- son population and all other people (only immediate family and her at- torney are allowed visits) at Niantic ™ State Prison Farm near New Haven. For the past four months almost, Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins have sat in a small cramped New Haven courtroom while the jury selection process has taken place. A total of more than 1450 prospective jurors have been examined and excused be- cause of either exposure to pre-trial publicity, prejudices against the Black Panther Party, Bobby and/or Ericka or Black people, financial or medical hardship, blind faith in the police de- 7 partment or any number of other rea- sons, Twelve jurors have been seated, The ‘voir dire’ (jury challenges) will continue until 2 alternate jurors are chosen. There are seven women jur- ors, four of them are Black, There are five men furors, one is Black. All of the jurors are middle-aged to old and none of them are revolution- aries, The defense has exhausted all of its 60 peremptory challenges while the prosecution has more than 20 left, On March Sth, the 12th juror, FOR BOBBY AND ERICKA AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS MARCH 13,1971 12 NOON BEAVER POND PARK NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT MARCH TO THE COURT HOUSE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: IN NEW HAVEN: (203)777-8718 COMMITTEE TO DEFEND THE PANTHERS— NEW HAVEN BRANCH IN NEW YORK: (212)228-77745 COMMITTEE TO DEFEND THE PANTHERS— NEW YORK BRANCH a blatant racist middle-aged woman, was seated over the defense’s loud objections, Defense motions to have her removed were denied and she re- matned on the jury. At this point Chairman Bobby Seale stood up, put his coat on, picked up his brief case and startedtoleave the courtroom, The pigs asked Bobby where he was going and he replied, *Back to lock-up’, Ten pigs surround- ed Bobby and jumped him in the court. room, After a brief scuffle to free himself, Bobby was forced back into a seat, He protested to the presiding pig, judge Mulvey, that the racist District Attorney, Marckle, had or- dered him into isolation 9 months prior and he had remained there since that time, Also, during the last 9 months, one particular pig whom he pointed out in the courtroom has con- tinuously harassed him, He told Mul- vey that he was a racist for allowing that woman to be picked as the 12th juror. Mulvey ordered Bobby out of the courtroom and the pigs removed him, tt is obvious that the defense has no control over what type of peo- ple will be chosen for the remaining jurors, Bopby and Ericka are young, Black revolutionaries, but lke every other Black person ever tried within the confines of the U.S. empire, they are being subjected to a jury of their non peers, The case of Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins is the key test of the old pig method of attempting to define the rights and destiny of our people. It is the pig test to sce how far they can go, how much we will take. The pigs have always felt, since this case was first created by them, that ff they could successfully destroy the Chairman of the Black Panther Party, this example. would be so strong as to ward off any or all other people, the People, In other words, it would serve as a notice of the consequences of op- posing them, and thereby hopefully halt our struggle, stop our efforts for free- dom, in midstream. But when the people made it clear that we recognize this ploc from the beginning, they had to devise other methods, and try todivert our attention away from this case, Knowing this, we, Black people and all oppressed people, must maintain a united front to free Bobby and Ericka, We cannot allow any trick of the pigs to divert our attention from those peo- ple and issues that are important to us, We cannot allow ourselves to be confused by increased pig repression and pre-planned, intentional divisive actions by reactionary forces within the community, working along with the power structure, We must reaffirm the strength of our unity to set Chair- man Bobby Seale and Sister Ericka Huggins free, For it is certain that Free Bobby, Free Ericka means Free the People, ALL POWER TO THR PROPLE pelle ne oe eT ee ee ee ee

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATUNIMY, MARCH 0, 97 PAGE BITTER BATTLES TO COME Twelve years ago, the peoples of Africa and Asia met in the revolution- ary capital of the U.A.R. to map out @ strategy for the eviction of colon- jalists from Africa and Asia, and for the liquidation of world imperialism, They formed the Afro-Asian People's Organisation, which soon grew into a great collective - a Movement of the peoples, not only of Asia and Africa, but of the whole of the progressive world, Today, the Afro-Asian People’s Or- ganisation meeting in Council in the new revolutionary capital of Libya, can proudly cast its eyes to the East of Tripoli, to the West, to the African land mass in the South, and even to the North across the waters of the Mediterranean, and will there see great young independent nations grow- ing on the ruins of colonial domina- tion - and all those who participated in the historic meeting of 1958, share the sense of achievement we all feel today, as we enter the dynamic, and highly explosive decade of the 70's, But even as we survey the world scene from this Northern City of Africa, we not only see the new flags of freedom flying where once Colonial- ism ruled supreme, we also see the banners of revolutionary amti-imper- jalist detachments as they engage the enemy in fierce and biter conflict in different parts of the world, Indecd, this Council meets at a time when, as never before, the strongholds of imperialism, colonialism, nco-colo- nialism and racism are being chal- lenged, harassed and attacked in a global anti - imperialist offensive which, even in the short space of time since the last meeting of the Council, has assumed a new intensity and a new ferocity, precisely because of the resolute determination of the peace-loving peoples of the world to seize, and retain, their dignity and independence, - a determin ation whic is matched by the equally resolute determination of the imperialists not only to retain what remains of thelr empires, but also to re- shrunken Oliver Tambo, A.N.C. President conquer and nullify the hard-won gain of the national Lit on movement, the world Socialist System and the toil- . workers and peasants of the world, Thus the e of the great and heroic people of Vietnam against U.S, imperialism continues unabated. intervention in the internal affaira of the people of Indo-China falls Into line with Washington's global strategy for domination; the intransigence of Israel in its continued occupation of Arab lands and its denial of the just de- mands of the Palestinian people has turned the Middle East into an ex- plosive battle ground seriously en- dangering world peace and security; the courageous people of Guinea Bissau are pushing the NATO-supported Por- tuguese colonialists out of Africa in the course of bitter armed confron- tation, while the Black masses and youth of America wage a militant struggle against racial discrimination, exploitation and U.S, imperialism, with the continuing resistance of the revo- lutionary people of Cuba and Latin America to the same imperialism; and in the embattled Southern Africa, the peoples of Angola, Namibla, South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe are fighting wars of liberation against an imperialist-backed alliance of Por- tuguese colonialists, Rhodesian racists and South African fascists, str AN UNFINISHED REVOLUTION There is clear evidence that imper- falism is losing gro but it i@ also clear that the bitterest battles hafe yet to be fought In the course of Africa and Asia and for the complete defeat of imperialism, It follows from what | have said that the Afro-Asian revolution which AAPSO was formed to accelerate re- mains, and will yet remain, an un- finished revolution, especially if the nighty aniw-imperialist forces con- tinue in their present state of dis- unity, and if “massive” or “ine creased" material assistance to fight- ing peoples ends, where it begins, in speeches and resolutions, if therefore, | have any message for this Council Meeting, comprising militants and revolutionaries from the butde-fronts of armed conflicr ir is a simple one - Firstly, With the object of launching a decisive offensive to crush all resistance to the forces for peace and progress, let AAPSO initiate & new and powerful campaign to sink all differences and forge a solid united front to all anti-im- perialist forces, Secondly, Let this Council adopt a resolution in which ic deplores the fact that the tens of thousands of millions of the peoples of the world who support the national liberation movement cannot provide enough fire-arms, trucks, food, medicine and funds for even the handful of liberation movements fighting a- : gainst colonialism and racism in Africa, In conclusion, | wish to salute this Council Meeting in the name of the fighting people of South Africa and to acknowledge the valuable assistance ami support given by our independent brothers and sisters in Africa and by AAPSO countries, and by our brothers ,. in the socialist countries tn Europe, In particular, | salute the leaders of the new, dynamic and revolutionary Republic of Libya which joined the van- guard of the anti-imperialist forces continued on next page
