No longer will black men allow themselves to be -rail- roaded to prison at the oink of a pig.

SORKL NAME ADDRESS cETy: gana pene Sulanesih ee Revolution newiution dents with surviva, CUN REGISTRATION MEANS BLACK and survival deals with life, It is very important that we understand black people have been persecuted, murdered, lynched, accused of num- erous monstrousities and wrong- doings. We have had insurrection after insurrection, with very little success, Now we are like panthers with our backs against the wall, and when panthers are attacked like we have been attacked, they, like our- selves, must move to do what they can — pick up the gun, the red book, and move against their oppressor. The Minister of Defense, Huey P. Newton, and the BPP have gone forth as the vanguard of the revolution, We are not the revolution, the PEO- PLE are — this must be understood. The people’s wants and needs are our desire, The BPP serves as a vanguard for the revolution — the people’s revolution, We are going to drive all the motherfucking racists out of our black communi- ties, Not only that, but the racist politicians: Lyndon Baines Johnson, Ronald Mickey Mouse Reagan (better known as a punk mickey mouse gov- ernor sitting up in Sacramento), Donald Quack Quack Rafferty, and all the other racist ass dogs whoare trying to destroy the lives of black People in the commonwealth society in which we have been colonized for the last four hundred years. Blacks have been told what is necessary time and time again. The BPP haye gone forth to implement certain programs so that we, the people, can deal with these men in a revo- lutionary manner. The only way we can do this is to pick up thegun, We are gonna walk all across this motherfucking government and say Stick ’em up, motherfuckers — this is a hold up: we come to get every- thing that belongs to us, Virgil Morrell R CRITICISM, DO IT CRITICIZING ONLY AFTER THE EVENT. + ueeee-MAO MAN’S EXTERMINATION By F.L. Black Black Brothers it is time for us to take a good look at this Gun Registration law which the racist pigs are trying to pass through the legislature branch of the so-called government. The government is trying to make it a Federal crime to own or possess a gun in your home for the protection of your family against racist pig Cops, Klu Klux Klansmen, John Birchers, Minute-Men, the Army, National Guard and all other white anti-Black organizations. What made the government suddenly decide that gun registration is imperative for this society to exist after four hundred years of gunless laws, and four hundred years of rule by gun and exploitation of all minority people by keeping a gun to their heads with the threat of shoot to kill if you do not conform to this racist society. The gov- ernment pretend that this society is getting more and more violent, simply because three men were assassinated by other so-called white men. It further pretend that through Gun Legislation the assassination of political undesirable figures will not occur. But, however, this is what the government would have the black people to believe, on the other hand, we have reliable information which specifically indicates that the government is trying to pass this law to find out the location of black people's guns, so that it will facilitate them in picking your guns up and leave you defenseless against a world full of untamed, unleashed white beasts from the European mother country. The government is not concerned about the assassi- nation of political figures who were voicing the demands of a black constituency, They are concerned about the riots and the black man quest for freedom. They can clearly visualize that the black man have come to the end of his rope with this so-called free democratic society, where it has left him sitting-in, sleeping-in, praying-in, erying-in and last but not least, UNCLE TOMING-IN for the. last four hundred years. They know that the only thing that is left for the black man to do’ now is to SHOOT-IN, SHOOT-IN, a blood bath for the racist pig establishment. So the government, which is composed of the KKK, John Birchers, Minute-Men Pig Cops, the Army and National Guard, decided that in order to stop the black man from revo- lutionizing this country it had better pass a gun registration law to find out where the guns are in the black communities across this country, so that prior to the revolution the guns can readily be con- fiscated. We worn you black brothers that this is an old trick used by the government of all Fascism Societies with the intent to ex- terminate undesirable citizens, which is the black manin this society, For example, the first thing that Hitler did was disarm the Jew, and later he led them into the concentration camps where six million of them was in hot flami ted States govern: 1 from that né and the s lave more Hitlers inthe yu ever rminsted the later put the left them there to die of starvation, lack of adequate living facilities and education, and now there are only four hundred and fifty thousand of them who are powerless in a land which was once their own. The United States government disarmed the Mexican; took their land and made them puppet slaves. The UnitedStates government is now trying e, inf had ir Germany hit ment disarmed the Indian ant n reservations and THE BLACK PANTHER SAT OCT. (2, 1968 PAGE 5 to disarm the gallant Viet Cong and make them puppets of the white man society. The United States government disarmed our brothers in South Africa, raped our beautiful black Cleopatra women, stole our culture, our homeland of its resources and killed fifty million of our black brothers and made the others slaves in our own land. The Uni- ted States government is trying to disarm all the people of the world who are fighting for their freedom against this racist White inept society. The government have four things in mind for you black bro- thers on gun registration, (1) It plans to register all the guns for location purposes (2) Upon registration of guns, it plans to. pick them up and disarm you, leaving you with sticks and bricks to defend yourself (3) After confiscating your guns, the government plan to send troops into your community and gather all black people, including your UNCLE TOMS, because he is tired of you keeping your tongue up his rectum while he is trying to,sleep at night. (4) The troops will then horde us off to concentration camps where we will be GASSED, GASSED, GASSED, and upon the completion of the GASSING ‘exercise, the remains which will be ashes and bones, will be collected and sent to plantations for fertilization. This means that you will continue on being productive in the White man’s mechaniza- tion, industrial ‘Capitalism, Fascism Society. It also means that you will return from which you came, you started on the plantation and you end there like the Invisible man whois on a merry go round, and all roads lead back to the beginning. But, I say black brothers, we cannot fall into the trap that so many others have fallen into. We can- not be so narrow-minded in believing that this government is doing® this for our protection. We must not turn over our guns to our enemy. The government certainly intend on taking your guns and turn- ing them over to good white John Birch citizens which will be utilized for the destruction of you, black brothers. Now brothers you might say how can I keep from registering my guns? First and farthermost, gun registration does not apply to us as black men, on the grounds that all citizens are suppose to be equally represented in the government according to constitutional law. Second, since we are not represented inthe government, we have no say about the laws of the white man, and therefore, those laws does not apply to us. They are white laws for white people to abide by, so we are going to let white people register their guns, because they are the ones who are a threat to humanity. Third, the means by which you cankeepfrom registering your guns is to keep your gun in your house in a safe place or sufficiently oil your gun down, rap it in aluminum foil, place it in a wooden box and bury it where it can be readily available for use. If anyone come by and ask you for your guns, let him have it, right between the eyes, or tell him that you no longer had any use for it and threw it away, or tell them that you sold it to a person before the gun law came into effect. In other words tell them a lie, because that’s what they have been doing to us for four hundred years. Fourth, if you have a gun and youhave to use it, it does not matter whether it is registered or not, because you are going to jail anyway if you kill a white man, So, we say that gun registration is a fallacy in itself designed to cover up the real true facts of gun control, + Fifth, brothers if you don’t have any guns, you had better hurry and try to purchase some before they stop selling them to us com- pletely. We want all black brothers to own at least one 30 .06 rifle with a scope, one M-1 Carbine rifle automaticrapid fire which shoots ‘twenty to thirty times, one shot gun for the wife or home and one pistol for your side are protection. Each of these guns should have three to four hundred rounds of ammo for your protection. You should learn how to shoot that 30 .06 in the PRONE position (on your stom- ach) so that you can hit a target about the size of a dinner plate from five hundred yards, for this is approximately the size of a white, Honkey, Cracker, Pigs head. Brothers we finally worn you that giving up your guns is not the Solution to our freedom. It does not conform your safety in a gun control state where all the guns are in the hands of your enemy. It does not guarantee you safety in your home, and it can not offset the balance of power of a white gun control society. In order for the black man to offset the white gun race, we have to make sure that we have guns to fight with for our protection, We have to make sure that the same thing that has happened to somany other races in the past his- tory of this white man rule, does not happen to the black man in America, and the only means by which we can do this is to keep our guns. Keep your guns because you know not the hour or the day when you will need it. Keep your guns because your guns are the pass from oppression to freedom andfrom slavery to liberation. Keep your guns, Keep your guns. DUALISM AMONG BLACK ‘PEOPLE By Captain Crutch In our Party, it is bad when some people create disturbances, and we do not approve of it, But when dis- turbances do occur, they enable us to learn lessons, to overcome Bu- reaucracy and to educate the Cadres and the masses, In this sense, the bad things can be turned into good things, Disturbances thus have a dual character, Every disturbance can be regarded in this way. Everybody knows that slavery was not a good thing for Black People, But slavery too had a dual charac- ter because some Black People be- came revolutionary and took proper action in the course of events, What was a bad thing has graduated to an- other level and has become a good thing, Black People are now more firmly dedicated to resolving the contradiction between themselves and the Ruling Pig Gentry. And all other people of the Third World, have also learned a lesson, Similarly, the Nationwide Campaign against Freedom Fighters, and the lasses of the people is a bad thing, But it is educating and tempering Black People, the Black Panther Party, all Revolutionaries the world over, Thus it has turned into a good thing. In the storm and stress. of this period. a number of neonle with- Black drew from the Black Panther Party in many areas, Withdrawal, expul- sion, suspension from the Party, reduces its membership and is, of course, a bad thing. But there isa good side to it too, Vacillating ele- ments who are unwilling to become Revolutionary have withdrawn, Others who have been expelled or suspended are still lagging or re- fuse to be concerned about the masses of Black People or refuse to follow the ideology of the Party, But the majority of staunch Party members are more firmly united with Revolutionaries’ for the strug- gle, and this is a good thing. People: all over this decadent racist nation are now discussing whether or not a countrywide civil war will break out. On this ques- tion, too, we must be mentally pre- pared and do some analysis, We stand firmly for Peace and against War, But & the Imperialist Pigs insist on unleashing war against E People, we should not be afraid of it. Our attitude on this question is the same as our a'iitude towards any disturbance: First we are against it, and second, we are not afraid of it, WE WILL CON- QUER WITHOUT A DOUBT... with Panther Power, Cruteh by Raymond Lewis BLACK PANTHER Managing Editor TE f PBS ee: ae ee San Francisco Municipal Court Judges Vavuris verses Calcagno equals justice versus injustice equals pig law versus pig laws for blacks Pig Michael O'Brian (residence address: 4785 - 18th Street, San Francisco, Cal.), the insane asshole who shot and killed black brother Geroge Baskett, a 28 year old truck driver, had been allowed to-remain free by the scum of this city’s rotten pig- structure, and without bail. Racist Judge Vavuris ruled, after first. setting a sham bail of $3850, that his precious, stinking little fellow swine O’Brien should stay on the streets without bail because**...the Penal Code of the State of California permits release of a (oink oink) person charged with a capital offense on bail or his own recognizance if the proof of his guilt is not evident and the presumption of guilt not great.’* Another judge, Calcagno, the next day reversed the racist decision of Judge Vavuris, which judges and lawyers throughout San Francisco agreed had no precedent In what was supposed to be a routine hearing, Calcagno revoked bail, shocking O’Brien and his attorney. But Calcagno quickly backed down and told the lawyer if he didn’t like his decision he would disqualify himself and transfer the case back to Vavuris, which he did. Although other judges say any murder charge should have bail set, unless its t degree murder in which case you can’t get out of jail at all, Vavuris said that judge he has “the power to discretion to determine whether the factual situation dicates first degree murder, an unbailable charge.’* If it’s not first degree murder, it is up to the judge ‘to decide whether to let the man out on bail On far flimsier evidence, Huey P. Newton was held without bail on first degree murder charge. Now, after a kangaroo court only come up with the political compromise verdict of manslaughter, instead of murder, you could expect that Huey would be out on bail while his case is being appealed. But Huey P. Newton sits in jail, while the pig runs loose to kill and terroize more innocent black people And racist Judge Vavuris will probably release the pig again, because he doesn’t think O’Brien looks Guilty Bullshit! Brother George Baskett was murdered in cold blood and many black witnesses have already come forward and attested to this fact Brother George Baskett was shot to death for trying to defend himself after being beaten unmercifully at the hands and pistol butts of the dog O’Brien and one of his pig buddies But the initial pig report (later to be found incomplete in details) called the murder of our black brother ‘‘justifiable homicide’’. Pig chief Cahill even lied and announced that the murder was ‘‘accidental and in self-defense."* More Bullshit! The facts are: Brother George Baskett had been on his way home to his pregnant wife and two children when he was stopped (unlawfully) and harrassed by two drunken off-duty pigs, O’Brien and another greasy hog named William Garriot. These two racist cowards began provoking and agitating brother George Baskett with profane names and racial slurs, intimating that it was our black brother who was ‘trying to start trouble.” As the other black people of the neighborhood began appearing on the scene, both pigs .. O’Brien and Garriot ...jumped brother George Baskett for no reason other than to keep brother George from relating the truth of the incident to the people. But the pigs had a fight on their hands dealing with our good brother. The pigs had. to resort to their usual dirty tactics by pulling out pieces and pistol whipping brother George Baskett. Even then our good brother dealt with the matter smoothly; fighting back like the man he was! Shots were fired. Then more shots as brother George Baskett stumbled back in dis- belief. And more shots smashed into his body as our good brother George Baskett fell to the ground Black brother George Baskett was murdered. Eyewinesses know it. The Black community of San Francisco knows it.

PAGE 8 THE BLACK PANTHER SAT OCT. 12, 1968 AFRICAN FRIENDS, HAIL! CAIRO -- On the eve of the 19th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, two African friends here have warmly hailed the great victories achieved by the Chinese people under the wise leadership of the great leader chairman Mao in the great proletarian cultural revolution and in other fields. Bobby Mack, member of the national executive committee of the Bechuanaland People’s Party, said to Hsinhua today: ‘‘The 19th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of China arrives at a time when the great proletarian cultural revolution initiated and led by Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, great leader of the Chinese people, has scored tremendous victories and when China has won great successes in various fields, The establishment of revolutionary committees in 29 provinces, municipalities and auton- omous regions, that is, throughout China except the province of Taiwan, is the most remarkable victory, China’s great proletarian cultural revolution has proved to the world that China will never change its political colour.’’ He said: ‘‘We warmly acclaim China's achievements in the past 19 years in the fields of production, science and technology, and socialist construction. New China has successfully broken the U, S. Imperialist nuclear monopoly and nuclear blackmail. This is a great encouragement to the revolutionary people of the world in their Struggle against imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism and for national liberation. We hail the clear-cut stand of the People’s Republic of China in its consistent and full support for the national liberation movements in all parts of the world. We firmly believe that following its all-round victory in the great proletarian cultural revolution, China will open a new page of revolutionary progress in our common struggle against imperialism and all its -lackeys and accomplices."’ In conclusion, Bobby Mack shouted: ‘‘Long live Chairman Mao Tse-Tung and Mao Tse-Tung’s thought’ exclamation.”’ In his statement issued here today, Victor Mayakiso, Chief | BLACK SOLDIERS REVOLT ANGOLAN PATRIOTIC HANOI-- A large number of black soldiers imprisoned by their ARMED FORCES GROWING military authorities have persisted IN STRENGTH in their struggle in the Long Binh stockade 24 kilometres east of ANGOLA -- The patriotic armed forces of the National Union for Saigon since August 30, according Total Independence of Angola (U.N.I.T.A.) which were built in Angola two years ago have at- tached great importance to arous- ing the masses, strengthen political work and persevering in armed struggle. After going through the difficult and toruous course of fighting in the past two years, they are now active in the areas of Lunda, Moxio and Cuando-Cubango in the Northeastern and Southeast- ern parts of Angola. They have even gone deep into Cuitom Alto- cuito, Cangamba, Serpa Pinto and other places in the heartland of the above-mentioned areas and dealt contant blows at the enemy. According to a war communique issued by the U.N,I.T.A., the pat- riotic armed forces wiped out more than 250 Portugese colonial troops and captured one colonial officer in the four months up to early May this year.

To voice their strong discontent at the Johnson administration for sending them to the South Viet Nam battlefield as cannon fodder, they called this large stockade which kept 700 American soldiers in jail ‘‘L.B.J.’’ for short. According to a western news agency report, the imprisoned black soldiers burned down many prison wards and stores. The U.S, military authorities conducted ruthless suppression by killing or wounding many black soldiers who revolted, But the prisoners were still in control of a section of the jail. Prison guards were only al- lowed to enter the compound to bring food and water to the prisoners, This outbreak of resistance has added to the headaches of the U,S, military authorities while war- weariness is spreading among the American soldiers in the U.S, war of aggression in Viet Nam, A US. military spokesman said in despair: “‘the prisoners have re- fused to give their names or follow any orders,”’ HUEY P. NEWTON: BLACK REVOLUTIONARY POLITICS By Juana Carrasco Gramma News — Havana, Cuba Present activity tould be defined in the words of Huey P. New- ton, leader of the Black Panther Party: ‘“‘We have analyzed the political situation of the black man, and we have arrived at the conclusion that blacks as such have been a nonentity in the poli- tical arena in the past. We have had black representatives who have not represented black power. And, in politics, an attitude is not really political if it doesn’t have political consequences. Our basic definition is that politics is a bloodless war and that war is bloody politics .. . . The peaceful facets of politics have al- ready been exhausted by blacks.’’ And he added: ‘‘We agreed that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun...” ..It is clear that the U.S. black man’s struggle today is for lib- erty, because blacks constitute a colonialized people within the imperialist society. .. But this struggle is not, as some have tried to imply, a mere race struggle; it is intrinsically a class struggle. The black man belongs to the most abused, the most exploited, oppressed and repressed sector of U.S. society. And it is logical that the revo- lutionary vanguard should arise from among black Americans, not because of a problem of a racial character — since blacks are not struggling against whites because of the color of their skin — but against police repression, against the exploitation of racist capitalism. Newton stated: ‘‘We must struggle against two evils: capitalism and racism. We must destroy both.”’ cont. on pg. 15 col 2 INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIQUE NO. 1 October3, 1968 Afro-America TO THE REVOLUTIONARY STUDENTS AND FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF MEXICO: We in the Black Panther Party of Afro-America stand in full solidarity and support with our revolutionary comrades-in-arms in Mexico. We proudly salute our bro‘hers and sisters in their just struggle against the tyranny and oppression of the imperial- ist pigs in Mexico who are murdering and beating you and exploiting your people as they do to black people in Afro-America. Members of our Central Committee were kidnapped, robbed, and beaten in Mex- ico City several weeks ago by international agents of the imperialists while at- tempting to visit our brothers in Cuba. Now, we are witnesses to the violence of the Mexican government, city, and army pigs directed against you. Your courage and revolutionary spirit will overturn the imperialist puppet pig government in Mexico City. Huey will be free, black people will be free, Mexicans will be free and the people of the world will regain their freedom through armed struggle against the pigs of the world. Once again, we resound the cry of Free Huey Newton, Minister of Defense of the Black Liberation Struggle or the Sky is the Limit! We support your every attempt to destroy imperialism conspired by the piggish fascist government of the United States of Racist North America. In the spirit of Zapata, Pancho Villa, Reies Tijerina, Che Guevara, Chairman Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and Huey P. Newton, we raise our guns high and say, VICTORY OR DEATH!

Speakers at the rally made it clear that they wouldcarry ontheir just struggle. A student leader said that the students would not stand idle seeing many of their fellow-students injured or ar- rested. The students strongly demanded the withdrawal of the reactionary troops from universities, the re- lease of arrested students and an end to all repression. They also reaffirmed their demand for the dissolution of the ‘‘riot squads’’ which have been set upto suppress the people, the dismissal of the police chieftain of Mexico City who is directly responsible for the atrocities against the students, and pension to the families of the victims of the violent repression, Meanwhile, students in the in- land cities of Mexico haye carried on their struggle in.solidarity with their fellow-students in the capital.

Ih a recently published interview, Huey himself explains in detail why the verdict is totally incomsistent from a legal standpoint: the jury found that he had,in fact, been previously convicted of a felony, yet they did not find him guilty of murder. Under California law -- and this was several times explained to the jury at their own request -- if a man with a prior. felony conviction commits a homicide, that crime automatically becomes murder, either first or second degrec, if the jury really be=-. lieved the evidence showed that Huey killed Frey, then they were bound, by law, to find h&n guilty of murder, The fact that they returned a manslaughter verdict proves that ' they were guided by political, rather than legal, considerations, Although it is ab- sohmely correct in calling the verdict a ‘*racist cop-out"’ because the jury didn’t have the guts to decide the case onits merits, their verdict also represented: political stand-off between black people andthe Power Structure. The capitalistic Bulsnessmen, like William Kmovland, owner of the Oakland TRIBUNE; the Racist politicians} the District Attorneys; and the Oakland's pig for ; All were determined to send Huey to the gas chamber. The black community, and white people, , were and are equally determined to set Huey free, So the Jury, weighing this political evidence, compromised by sending Huey to Prison on the lightest conviction possible, ‘This was a limited victory for the black people: without the ‘Free Huey!"’ campaign, Huey would have been on his’ way. to the gas chamber, Not only the verdict, but the sentence in Huey’s case was purely political, Judge Friedman had it in his power to set Huey free -- either by granting him probation, or by alowing him to bail out of jail while his case was being appealed, Judge Friedman re- fused, It is very important to understand that, under normal circumstances, a man_., Cleaver from appear- convicted of voluntary mansalughter, even with a worse record than Huey’s, would heave been granted bail pending appeal, almost as a matter of course. Huey had a perfect — recoed of showing up for all court appearances; the purpose of the bail is exactly to guarantee that the defendant will show up in court when summoned. So the judge's de- cision to deny bail was clearly based on political prejudice. This decision is totally con= sistent, however, with the way the dis-honorable pig Friedman conducted Huey’s trial. He cepeatedly harassed defense witnesses, ‘sometimes even refusing to allow.them to testily.

PEACE CORP PIGS SCREWED NIGERIANS & NIGERIA LONDON -- Racist Peace Corps volunteers who screwed, brain- washed, and_ manipulated influential Nigerian toms and promoted the concept of tribal rivalry in Africa™are a significant factor in- ~~ the current Nigeria-Biafra war, according. to Obi B, —Egbuna, a leading Nigerian socialist revolutionary who curréntly lives in exile in England, Egbuna believes that the Nigeria-Biafra war is due not to any real tribal rivalry, but to the manipulation of Britain and American neo- colonialism. In a pamphlet entitled ‘‘The Murder of Nigeria’’ Egbuna explains that the neo-colonialist program reached a peak two years ago, shortly after. the brief-lived leftist regime of Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu, who seized power in January, 1966. Egbuna writes: “The imperialist did not wait . . . It was soon clear they were up to something. Soon the racist-American Peace Corps boys and girls -- the junior CIA pigs -- were flooding the Northern Nigerian towns and villages in staggering numbers. Researching ‘*‘anthro- pologists,’’ and holidaying ‘tprofessors’’ poured into every corner of the North under grant of the imperialist U.S, government to “work on’’ the villagers. “*They tumbled in and out of bed with the top boys in the army and influential civilian toms, and very soon the news spread that the January coup was an ‘“‘Ibo conspiracy.”’ First it began as a rumor and then it became common ‘‘knowledge”’ that Ibos and Hausas were mortal enemies, “In the East, meanwhile, the American junior CLA pigs were also at work, These pigs of the Peace Corps peddles sex for propaganda from one university dormitory to another and from village to village. Soon the Ibos began to echonides thus implanted in their heads by professional, perverted American ‘‘lovers.”’ Everywhere they credited the January coup to the inherent Ibo genius. They boasted of being the ‘Jews of Africa’' --an expression first used by Time magazine five years ago -- and of being ‘‘capitalist by nature’ and openly used self-flattering, meaningless and arrogant expressions auto-suggested to them during unguarded moments of Peace Corps sex orgies, expressions coined in America to exacerbate the non-Ibos."’ Egbuna also argues that Lt. Col. Ojukwu, the leader of Biafra, made a ‘‘tragic mistake’’ by identifying himseif as a leader of a region and not the whole nation. “*What Ojukwu should have told the world was that he was not fighting the Hausas as such, but a neo-colonialist puppet military clique which happened to be Hausa. He should have declared himself the champion of not only the Ibos, but all the have-nots who suffered under a puppet administration, military or civil. He could still have made Biafra his base, but the important thing was that he made it manifest that his was a non-tribal socialist revolution.” Egbuna, who is well known in Britain as a playwright; is an Ibo and a former resident of the region now called ‘‘Biafra.’’ The author argues that the entire concept of tribalism is one fostered and promoted by the United States and Britain. He noted that the tribalistic concept clashes directly withthe concepts of socialism and anti-neocolonialism as developed by Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana, Egbuna points to the role of the imperialist powers in under- mining the regime of Mahor Nzeogwu, whose revolutionary socialist Program was ‘‘whittled down, abused, demeaned and fanned into a petty inter-tribal vendetta.” Specifically, Egbuna said that the Peace Corps and America media Dromored rhe ideo AF tata eetinn) Grete 4 ele .

OF WASHINGTON ROTG BUILDING BURNS "THIS IS NUMBER ONE, THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN!”’ by Stern & Shelton SEATTLE, Wash. -- A crowd of 300 spectators, some cheering, “This is number one and the fun has just begun -- burn, baby, burn,” watched as the Naval ROTC building at the University of Washington burned, last week, causing approximately $50,000 damage and demolish- ing military records and files. 2 The. burning climaxed several recent incidences of political fire jornbing and arson in Seattle, including the destruction of the Central Area Motivation Program’ (the local War on Poverty), a number of ee businesses’ in the ghetto area, and an eating establishment that had iscriminated against Blacks and hip-types. Following the fire, a Seattle newspaper reported that the uni- versity administration was confronted with the possibility of hav- ing to police every building on the 600 acre University of Washing- ton campus to prevent further disturbances, Federal Pig agents, arriving on the scene immediately after the alarm went out, warned that the destruction of Navy offices consti- tuted willful damage to Federal property.

(2, 1968 ; PAGE {1 POWER STRUGGLE ESCALATES POLITICAL PRESSURE AGAINST PANTHERS conduct a fair and impartial trial, the jury just might have found the courage to render a fair verdict. Eldridge’s conflict with the State Government is also directly political. The issue of his lecturing on the Berkeley campus is nota civil liberties issue of free speech, because the Regents, including Reagan, are perfectly willing to allow Eldridge to speak at campus rallies or other openly political events, not officially sanctioned by the University Admin- istration, But they are not willing to allowhim to participate in teaching in an accredited course of the University. The reason is simple. The Board of Regents are not impartial educators: they are the big business barons of this state -- capitalists -- owners of newspapers, large corporations oilmen, U.S, Military ‘‘defense’’ contractors, etc. The University of California, like all large universities, is not primarily a place where young people go to be exposed to new ideas, It is first and foremost a research, training, and indoctrination center for the big businesses and the Government they manipulate, In this sense, the very functioning of the University is extremely political, and at times its political partisanship is so obvious that it cannot be swept under the rug. For example, during the height of the Delano Grape Strike, the Agricultural Department of the Berkeley campus, housed in GIANNINI Hall, was busy developing tomato-picking machines that would make the farm workers unnecessary anyway. Who is Joseph Giannini, but the founder of the world’s largest bank, the Bank of America, which just happens to own most of the big agricultural corporations that exploit the farmworkers and resist any attempt to organize them, And, if any doubtremains about the direct link between the University and the Power Structure, the mere fact that Charles Hitch left his post in the Defense Depart- ment to become President of the University of California should remove that doubt. But the Regents use ‘‘liberal educator’’ like Chancellor Heynes at Berkeley to cam- oflage the POLITICAL nature of the University. And whenever an attempt is made to inject into the University political ideas or actions that oppose the STATUS QUO, then hirelings like Heynes scream ‘'You are compromising the NEUTRALITY of the Uni- versity.’’ But, as the students found out in 1966, when the University Administration refused to allow an off-campus anti-war group (Women for Peace) to set up 4 table next to an off-campus PRO-WAR group (the Marine Corps), this so-called ‘‘neutrality” really means overt cooperation with the Power Structure. The Regents and the Government insist on the absolute right to political monopoly of the University, just as they exercise monopoly control over the economy of the country. For a Black Revolutionist, like Eldridge Cleaver, to be officialy sponsored by the University, is to Challenge the absolute right of the Regents and to expose the fundamentally political character of the University. If Eldridge, or any other spokes- men for the movement, speaks at a hundred rallies on the campus, the Regents can pass that off as the openly political activity of a ‘‘small minority’’ and part of ‘tour great heritage of freedom of speech.’’ But if Eldridge speaks as a guest lecturer, his ideas cannot be so easily dismissed and the danger that they may subvert the monopoly of the Regents is increased, In short, Eldridge Cleaver’s lecturing on the campus is a form of guerilla warfare against the wholeSystem. And the Regents, as the rulers and regulators of the STATUS QUO, can't have it, But there is an even more sinister element in the MAD-DOG actions of racist Ronald Reagan, This, after all, is an election year, and Mickey Mouse Reagan, head of the ever- more reactionary Republican Party, is doing his best to get his cronies, especially Red-White-and Blue Max Rafferty, elected. Reagan himself was successful two years ago, because he was able to exploit the fears of many people about the black liberation movement, and the student and youth rebellion. He made the University a whipping boy, right befere the election -- seizing as his whip the appearance of Stokely Car- michael ata ‘‘Black Power’’ rally on the campus, This enabled him to tie all the fear symbols together -- black power, student unrest and sub-version of the lily-white kiddies, This time around, the act is the same, but the characters have been changed to entrap the innocent, but his alter-ego, Rafferty, a Mickey-Mouse Donald-Duck, punk from Disneyland like Reagan himself, and the ploy is not Stokely, but now Eldridge. This explains why the court decision re-revoking Eldridge’s parole came down just before his lectures on the campus were to begin, Normally, the Appelate Court would have taken longer to make its ruling, but they had to hurry to meet Reagan's timetable. Reagan would like nothing better thanto have Eldridge arrested on the Berkeley campus. when he tries to deliver his second lecture, which has been banned by the Regents, The way it might happen is this; when Eldridge gets to the campus to hold his second lecture, which the University Administration will refuse to sanction -- he will be told by campus police that he is in violation of the ‘'Mulford Act’’ which gives the Ad- ministration the power to kick any ‘‘non-student troublemaker”’ off campus. If Eldridge refuses to back down, he will be arrested; and, once he is back in jail, he won't get out again -- more than likely for the rest of his life. Reagan will have once more gotten his man, and, among his reactionary supporters, his reputation, will rise greatly -- especially if he sends the state troopers on campus to put down the students insurrection that is bound to follow Eldridge’s arrest. Mickey Mouse Reagan's buddy, Donald Duck Rafferty, who right now is running well behind his Democratic opponent, just might get elected. The fact that the court decision on Eldridge came down on the same day as Judge Friedman sent Huey off to prison was not accidental; it was a warning from Reagan and the racist institutions of oppression he heads -- including the courts and Adult Authority -- That they are out for blood for real. In the face of this aggression, the Black Revolution has only one real choice -- to take the offensive. We must prepare for the coming confrontation by building massive sup- port for both Huey and Eldridge, Not only on the Berkeley campys, but in the outside communities, black and white. We must dramatize the real issue involved in Eldridge’s lectures and the opposition from racist Reagan and the pig Regents. Tactically we should take advantage of the widespread hatred for Reagan by focussing on him as the main enemy, and by exposing, over and over again, his role in the attempt to get Eldridge, especially. There is another dimension of political work that will build strong support for Eldridge and Huey. Both are candidates of the Black Panther Party and the Peace and Freedom Movement. In Alameda County, a Serious political campaign for Huey P, Newton and Bobby Seale will strengthen the drive to free Huey, from political im- prisonment, There are thousands of people in the area who will support Huey en- thusiastically and defend him vigorously if we reach them with the real issues involved in his case and the political principles he stands for. The electoral campaigns of Huey and Bobby provide a very good vehicle for reaching these new people and for con- solidating the support that already exists. Eldridge’s Presidential candidacy provides him with another platform for addressing the people. Since he is still out of prison, El- dridge will more likely use every opportunity to reach the broadest audience possible. The more times he speaks out against imperialism, racism, Reaganism, and the \ex- ploitation and dehumanization of ordinary people, the more people will identify him as a leader they cannot afford to lose. We have already seen from the compromise verdict in Huey's case that, by building a strong political movement, we can affect the courts and the other instruments of the Power Structure, But time is running out, andif we are going to Saye Huey and Eldridge, we had better get our shit together NOW! We should keep in mind that the attempt to jail Huey and Eldridge is not only part of a conspiracy to destroy the Black Panther Party, but is also the advance guard of much more widespread and severe repression of any opposition to the increasingly tyrannical government that rules us all. If we cannot take the offensive now and repel this first aggression, then the prospects for heading off a very strong tendency toward total fascism are very bleak indeed. We must free Huey; We must keep Eldridge out of jail; we must prepare now for a real struggle, sha S320 + 2 PAGE 18 THE BLACK PANTHER § SAT. OCT. 12, POCKET LAWYER OF LEGAL FIRST AID This pocket lawyer is provided as a means of keeping black people up to date on their rights. We are always the first to be arrested and the racist police forces are constantly trying to pre- tend that rights are extended equally to all people. Cut this out, brothers and sisters, and carry it with you. Until we arm ourselves to righteously take care of our own, the pocket lawyer is what's happening. 1. If you are stopped and/or arrested by the police, you may re- main silent; you do not have to answer any questions about al- leged crimes, you should provide your name and address only if requested (although it is not absolutely clear that you must do so.) But then do so, and at all time remember the fifth amendment. 2. If a police officer is not in uniform, ask him to show his iden- tification. He has no authority over you unless he properly identi- fies himself. Beware of persons posing as police officers. Always get his badge number and his name. 3. Police have no right to search your car or your home unless they have a search warrant, probable cause or your consent. They may conduct no exploratory search, that is, one for evidence of crime generally or for evidence of a crime unconnected with the one you are being questioned about. (Thus, a stop for an auto violation does not give the right to search the auto.) You are not required to consent to a search; therefore, you should not consent and should state clearly and unequivocally that you do not consent, in front of witnesses if possible. If you do not consent, the police will have the burden in court of showing probably cause. Arrest may be corrected later. 4. You may not resist arrest forcibly or by going limp, even if you are innocent. To do so is a separate crime of which you can be con- victed even if you are acquitted of the original charge. Do not re- sist arrest under any circumstances. 5. If you are stopped and/or arrested, the police may search you by patting you on the outside of your clothing. You can be stripped of your personal possessions. Do not carry anything that includes the name of your employer or friends. 7. Do not engage in “friendly” conversation with officers on the way to or at the station. Once you are arrested, there is little like- lihood that anything you say will get you released. 8. As soon as you have been booked, you have the right to com- plete at least two phone calls—one to a relative, friend or attorney, the other to a bail bondsman. If you can, call the Black Panther Party, 654-2003, and the Party will post bail if possible. 9. You must be allowed to hire and see an attorney immediately. 10. You do not have to give any statement to the police, nor do you have to sign any statement you might give them, and therefore you should not sign anything. Take the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, because you cannot be forced to testify against yourself. 11. You must be allowed to post bail in most cases, but you must be able to pay the bail bondsmen’s fee. If you cannot pay the fee, you may ask the judge to release you from custody without bail or to lower your bail, but he does not have to do so. 12. The police must bring you into court or release you within 48 hours after your arrest (unless the time e?ds on a week-end or a holiday, and they must bring you before a judge the first day court is in session.) 13. If you do no’ have the money to hire an attorney, immedi- ately ask the police to get you an attorney without charge. 14. If you have the money to hire a private attorney, but do not know of one, call the National Lawyers’ Guild or the Alameda County Bar Association (or the Bar Association of your county) and furnish you with the name of an attorney who practices criminal law.

We took as much time as we wanted which was two hours. The central committee spoke in our behalf. Berkeley High is 41 percent black. Members of the B.S,U. passed out leaflets with a list of our demands, and to come to the meeting. We passed these leaflets on all streets in the black com- munities of Berkeley. Not more than 50 parents attended the meet- ing. And then they have the nerve to say, ‘‘why don’t you ever do your homework,’’ and ‘‘you better stop that cutting."’ I am very disappointed in the black people of Berkeley. Young and old. The majority of them are not together, I see those brothers working for the city. The honky drives the truck while the brother go's along picking up the trash along the street, I saw something that I haven't seen since I last saw one of those old movies. A black man was sweeping the streets with a broom and a box. I usually greet every brother and sister I see, but I couldn't to him, He made me sick I had to turn my head to keep from going into a rage. 1 would rather starve to death tahn to have so low a job.
