Relevant to wtat's Iappesing in this country today,

a lot of conflict with the police, their activities and poli-
tical drives were parallel to the Black people’s van-
guard of today - the Black Panthers.

You have to be concermed abowt the original method of

as they passed through the melting pot in this country get
a bankroll to work with? Who controlled the alcohol
that was being produced before the Irish started pro-
Gucing their own?
History will show that the Irish were angry because
the Anglo-Saxons wanted to control it; wanting, too, to reap
all the benefits and profits. So they started ethnic wars

Could {t be that the raid had anything to do with Irish and

had all these indictments in his hands against all these
powerful people, had leverage for some political man-

that a Kennedy (who happen to be Irish Catholic) was
the first Catholic Preisent in this country.

PROFILE OF THE BIG
CROOK, WM KNOWLAND
by Bob Avakian
Anyone who has lived in or pear Oakland knows it is 4 miserable
city. Much of the housing is broken down; many streets are pot lit;
with the exception of the Oukland hills, the schools are overcrowded
and run like prisons, and large numbers of people, black, brown, and
even white, are forced to live in poverty, without adequate clothing,
medical care or food. In fact, the over-all unemployment rate in
Oakland is nearly 10%, twice the national average; and for black
People it is twice as high again (20%). And everywhere they turn
poor people are hemmed in, beaten down and tricked by the ruthless
Tulers of the city, who themselves live in the luxury of the Oakland
Hills, Piedmont, Castro Valley, Orinda, or some other suburb,
Not only are the Oakland police notorious for their gestapo ac-
tions == against black people, Chicanos and even anti~draft and
anti-war demonstrators and sometimes even striking workers --
but the Alameda County Welfare Department, which is supposed to
help people who cannot find work live with some dignity, made Oak~
land famous four years ago, when the welfare agents condacted
midnight “bed raids’’ of their clients’ homes. They actually forced
their way into the houses of the very people they were supposed to
be serving and demanded to see if they were sleeping alone. Any
woman who had dared to entertain a male visitor was pot only denied
the piddling welfare check she had been receiving, but was actually
prosecuted by racist District Attorney J. Francis Coakley, for Ge-
frauding the welfare department|
When a schoo] kid in Oakland rebels against the totalitarian school
System that attempts to teach him nothing but to stay in his place,
fear his oppressors, and learn to say “yes sir’ and ‘‘no sir’’ on
command, the kid is simply kicked out of school and thrown out on the
streets, “Troublemakers” in the Oakland schools are not only fre-
quently beaten up by teachers and other school officials, they are often
arrested right on the school grounds and dragged off to jail, where
they are often kept for hours before their parents are notified.
Most people already know about these Intolerable conditions, But
many people, especially those who are the worst victims of these
atrocties, are not fully aware a who is responsible for the evil
changes they are put througt. They see only the welfare agent, the
pig cop, the bill collector, the hard-headed teacher, the racist-dog
DA, or some other agent of the power structure: the men who give
these agents their orders are far away in tall buildings. And, al-
though ic is necessary to struggle against these front-line fune-
tionaries of the power structure, it is also necessary to have an
understanding of just who the criminal conspirators are who make
the political decisions that come down on the people's beads.
For some time, the City of Oaklandhas been in the grip of William
F. Knowland and his family -- publishers of the Oakland TRIBUNE,
the only major newspaper in the city. Knowland’s father, Joseph,
made a fortune in the shipping industry in California after World
War 1, and increased it during World War Il, when Oakland was a
major port. It was in these war years that large numbers of south-
ern poor people, black and white, were almost literally picked up
by the Federal Government and dumped in northern cities to work
in the defense plants aod shipyards. They were pet up in so-called
“temporary” housing, which became permanent after the war ended,
when large numbers of people, particularly black people, were
thréwn out of work by the closing of the shipyards. But Joseph
Knowland did mot suffer from the end of the war. By this time, he
had bullied and bribed his way Into full ownership of the TRISUNE.
Before World War Il, the Knowland family only owned one-half of
the TRIBUNE and several other criminal enterprises. But when the
owner of the other half died and her estate was still being settled,
Joseph pat up $1 million to buy our the rest of the newspaper. And,
even though there was a higher offer from a newspaperman in Ss.
Paul, Minnesota, Knowland’s friend in the Alameda County Superior
Court, Judge John J. Allen, ruled that the estate had to sell to
Knowland, for less money, So the Knowlands gained almost a com-
plete monopoly on information in Oakland; and ever since, they have
used the TRIBUNE as a PROPAGANDA TOOL for the games they
and their cohorts are running oa the people.
From the very beginning the Knowlands have built up a ruthlessly
reactionary political machine to contro! Oakland and build a power-
base for themselves in both the business and the polities, not only
of Oukland, but of California and the entire country. Since the early
1920s, the Knowlands have wheeled, dealed and cut throats to get
themselves more power and put the people in further misery. For
example, in 1925, they used their influence to get Ear] Warren ap-
polated Assistam District Attorney, and then they pressured the
District Attormey to step down to make way for Warren, Then in
the 1940s, the TRIBUNE went all-out to get Warren elected Governor.
And, after he took office, Warren (remember him, the ‘liberal’
Supreme Court Justice?) paid off. When one of the U, $, Senators
from California died, Warren quickly appointed William Koowland
to fill the vacancy.
As 4 politician William Knowland has always been the implaccable
foe of black people, poor people, working people, and the peoples of
the world, As far back as 1937, as a. State Assemblyman, Knowland
Succeeded in temporarily blocking the pardon of Tom Mooney, a
union organizer in the early 1900s (beck when unions were really
opposed to the power structure), who had been framed on charged of
bomb-throwing, Later, as a Senator, he not only opposed the liber-
ation af the Chinese people, but actually took up the cause of fascist
Chiang-kal-shek, in insisting that the criminal war in Korea should
be extended to an attack on the People’s Republic of China and the
Chinese revolution, Ite was so hard-teaded about his support for
Chiang-kai-shek that he was given the nickname Willian" Formosa”
Koowland. At the time of the victory of the Vietnamese people
against the French imperialists at Diesbieaphu in 1954, Knowland
advised mad-man Jolin Foster Dulles, then Secretary of State of the
US, to intervene with bombing attacks, including atomic bombs if
necessary, to crush the Vietnamese resistance to French colontal-
ism and western domination,
On the home from, be voted in 1948 for 4 Senate bill that would
have allowed southera states to further segregate their schools and
he even opposed do-nothing bodies like the Federal Fair Employment
Practices Commission, He supported bills allowing the states to
open the relief rolls to public inspection, making the recipients

vuleerable to further discrimination, At the same time he backed
bills empowering the US, goverament to seize plants when workers
went on strike and to use the army to crush strikes, In 1958, he ran
for Governor of the State of California, mainly on a platform of
flunkying for big business, even to the extent of promising a “right
to work law,"’ aimed at preventing union organization, Throughout
his political career, which officially ended with his defeat in the
Governor's race of 1958, Knowland-- whohadrisen as high as Senate
Majority Leader under the Eisenhower regime, -= was known as one
of the key leaders of the most reactionary wing of the Republican
Party, In 1964, for example, he was California campaign manager
for Barry Goldwater.
And, after he retired from public polities, Knowland continued
to rule Oakland with an iron, right-wing grip. He has used the
TRIBUNE (which itself has less than SZ black employees) to oppose
every struggle for the liberation of black people, students and work-
ing people. In 1965, when black people were boycotting the restau-
rants at Jack London square, because they refused to hire black
People for any but the lowest paying, most degrading jobs, Knowland
blasted away at the leaders of the boycott, writing in one froat-
page editorial that anyone who even picketed the restaurants was
guilty of ‘‘gangsterism"’. He ranted and raved about the ‘‘private
enterprise system" and how it was much more sacred than the
right of people to work and live decently, And when the final con-
frontation of that struggle came down, on March 13, 1965, at the
“Sea Wolf" restaurant, Knowland himself, along with his heachman
in the city government, including much of the Pig Department, went
down to the restaurant itself and supervised the defeat of the at-
tempeed boycott,
Again, in 1966, when black people boycotted the Oakland high
schools and junior high schools, Knowland attacked them as “'ir-
responsible’ and when a minor rebellion broke out, after a pig
atempted to arrest a black victim of an auto accident, Knowland
wrote another front-page editorial blaming the school boycotters for
the violence! After the murder of Bobby Hutton, when black people
began the boycott of Houswives market, Knowland not only blasted
them again with a front-page editorial, but he ran an ad in his
paper asking people to break the boycott by foing out of their way to
Shop at the market, And, just this year, when the Board of Regents,
led by Knowland’s pig-in-arms, Governor Reagan, tried to block
Eldridge Cleaver trom lecturing on the Berkeley campus, Knowland
came out with his most atrocious editorial of all, in which the only
description he gave of the Minister of Information was the passage
from his book about how he became a rapist, Bur scurvy-dog
Koowland did not include inthis quote from SOUL ON ICE, the part
of the passage where Eldridge says, “After I returned to prison,
I took a long look at myself and, for the first time in my Life, ad-
mitted that 1 was wrong, that I had one astray -- astray pot so
much from the white man’s law as from being hyiman, civilized =.
for I could not approve of the act of rape."*
By deliberately leaving this part our of his editorial, Knowland
was attempting to create the impression that Eldridge, instead of
Knowland, was the mad-dog; that he was proud of having raped women
and that he would do it again at any me, This was a transparent
attempt to play on the worst racist fears and Prejudices of white
people; if was a scurvy example of irresponsible journalism
that even the white racist capitalist press would generally be
ashamed of, But it {8 just common practice for the snake, Knowland,
Knowland does not rule Oakland, and influence much of the
politics of California and the country, however, only with his
newspaper, He has built up a political machine in Oakland thar
includes tripled-jowled Assemblyman, Don Mulford, from Pted=
mont; vicious District Anorney, racist Frank Coakley; Oakland
Municipal Court J adge, mad-man Malcolm Champlin and abnost all of
the Oakland City Governenent. In the next article, we will explore
how this mactiéne runs and we will look into the records and present
crimes of some of Uie cogs of the machine. We will also get into the
record of Edgar Kaiser, leader of the Fival gangland mob, challeng-
ing Knowland’s mafia for control of Oakland,

family depends on how ctraight you think, now.
What happened to Huey in the Oakland courts is directly related
to you. The people you work for, are the people who are responsible
for the harassment, the shooting and beating, and attempt to murder
Hoey.
"That Hoey devoted his life to educating and leading his black people
was his indictment. That he fought for a better world for all black
people condemned him. He was convicted in a court owned and oper=
ated by the Big-time gangster Interests of racist Oakland and this
decadent country. The crooks who own the railroads, factories,
warehouses, stores, trucks, machines, the banks, the mortgages on
your homes the furaiture in them, and cars are the same men who
are responsible for the outright frameup of Liuey P. Newton, These
same perverted men are the hoodlums you work for.
If they can get away with framing Huey, they will cut your wages,
destroy your unions, work you for nothing and jail you on top of it.
They are beartless, soulless amd have 4 desire for nothing but more
profit. They own andthey control. You work when they want you to and
whenever you work and whatever kind of work you do, they take more
than a hogs share of the profit from your labor, This ts a wrong
thing. The best way to fight 4 wrong thing ls to fight for the right
thing. Huey P. Newton was telling your bosses to stop brutalizing
and dehumanizing you. Now you must tell those same bosses to stop
doing it to Huey, You must tell them to Free tivey or their profits
will be stopped, And you must mean it, Organize. . . Now!
Ir is a fact 95% of the Black People inthis country have had to
scuffle all their lives for a living and are still not able to eke out an
existence. Two million Hlick people are expboited at the point of
production, That means they work in basic industries, That means
they are a part of the organized labor movement in this country.
Auto, rubber, stecl and shipping are all basic industries.
But caution woa't Free Hucy . . .
kt may stem wrong to come down on you Brothers and Sisters who
have been working one place so long that you may be afraid to speak
out for fear of losing your job. Or you haven't been working ooe
place long enough to speak out. With many of you one of the reasons
you bave been working is because your Nrothers and Sisters in the
streets have been jumping up and down, That fact ts that they have
been helping you get some jobs and keep some good jobs.
Example: Two years ago Black men driving those little brown cele-
phone trucks and climbing telephone poles and installing phones
in your homes were few andfar between, Were you to ask one of those
young Negroes how he got the job, he would have told you “'l studied
and prepared for it."’ He could not relate his job to the fact that at
some time or cher Black People had made the Ghetto so hor that the
Jephone company, in order to keep up their super-profits hired
could he relate to the fact that when Huey satdown with
wirman Bobby Seale and Little Bobby Hutton; drafting the Black
inther Party 1 t Program that Huey P, Newton, the Minister
of Defense, had proposed for jobs for such Black Brothers.
Point 2, WE WANT FULL EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR PEOPLE.
| WE BELIEVE that the federal government is responsible and
ligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income, We
believe that if the white American business will not give full employ-
ment, then the mans of production should be taken from the business
men and placed in the community so that the people of the com-
munity can organize and employ all of its people and give a high
standard of livim.
Hucy was not cautious when he was our in the strects every day,
flebting the Hig Businessmen for jobs for our Mlack People. You can
not be cautious sow when you speak out for [rother Iuey’s Free-
dom,
Wf the notion secmstarsh then you must ask yourself is it true;
(Aj Have you ever stood up in 4 union meeting amt spoke in the
defense of Ilucy?
@) Have you ever told 4 white worker in your job that you don't
think the evidence in the trial was ‘beyond a shadow of a doubt’ and
that you want him to help build a Workers Commiuce to “Free
Huey P. Newtua™ right on the job?
) Have you ever told your fellow office worker that to "Free
Huey” an Office Workers Defense Committee must be formed®
@) Have you ever told the men In your gang, while working on the
ships or on the docks that there ought to be 4 committee of **Lone-

and when you know the case and the facts (orward and backward)

Striking students also stated that
because the white director of

against black and Third World

by a black or Third World group
director.
Some of the tactics employed
by the striking black students did
not meet with the approval of some
of the white students, This is
understandable because the tactics
used by the black students were
revolutionary! But then, the strike
was not initiated for the purpose
of enlisting white support. but
rather for the purpose of meeting
the demands of black and Third

The British Mandate written in 1917 was adopted by the League

October 24, the Lydda Airport -= the biggest in Israel, U.S. im-

for 24 hours and caused a damage estimatedat more than one million
U.S, dollars, according to press reports here. .
The Lydda Airport is only eleven miles from Tel Aviv, the heart an
of the Israeli-ruled area, Palestinian Commando fighters managed | ,
to get into the airport in disguise and planted explosives equipped
with timing device in the airport's power compound, The explosives _
touched off a great fire and gutted the four-storey central terminal

men and troops were sent co fight the fire,
The Palestinian Commandos have recently intensified their oper=
ations in the Israeli-ruled areas andscored remarkable successes.
Apart from the explosion of the Lydda airport, the Commandos
launched 24 attacks In the past week in the Geisan Valley, Jerusa-
lem Betaah Tekfa, Abulsus, Our Sedrah, the Negev Desert and other
areas, They wiped out about 250 Israeli occupation troops, demolished
Sixteen strongpoints Including five big camps, destroyed twenty-

Among these operations, the attacks on October 22 and 24 were
most remarkable. In an attack im abulsus on October 22, “Assifa”’

knowledge ft, or to accept it as legitimate because it went through certain legis
lative changes,
We say that the oppressors have no rights which the oppressed are bound to respect.
And once we find these pigs out, once we see what they're doing. it’s up to us to turn
away from that, to reject that, to rule the pigs out of order, to declare them unfit,
for any public trust, and then to move to remove them from positions through which
they can undermine the eelfare, the pursuit of happiness of the people. And this bas
been clearly demonstrated in the case Gt various Circies ut pres > heen demon-
strated for those who checked the demonstration out, for those who have been dealing ie
with and digging this economic system as a whole, it's been demonstrated that the pigs
are out of order economfeally, they're out of order politically, they’re out of order
socially. In detailed analysis, we find that the police department is out of of Ger,
we find that these demogogic politicians are out of order and that the avaricious
businessmen are out of order so the people are perfectly justified in putting them
back in order, into an order that will sot be obstructive to the destiny of the people.
So that we have to continue talking about this, we have to move on this, and we have
to move on this, and we haveto, most of all, dissoclate ourselves from it, in the eyes
of the people here domestically who are confused, we need a clear line of de~
marcation between the people and the pigs, between the enemy and the people, and
also, internationally, so that our allies internationally can distinguish between the
people and the pigs in this country and also relate by abstraction, our experience,
to their own process of distinguishing themselves from their own local pigs. So
I say that a new direction is called for in order to get this done, It’s in the air, it’s
ready, it moves at the speed of light, It takes only a few vanguard steps by those who
are moving to consolidate all of this and it bas to be consolidated before the pigs in
the power structure consolidate their power. And we bave to be able to move within |

perfectly legitimate strategy on the one hand to call as we did with our Black

that the people who are going to vote anyway do not cast a vote for the enemies of the
people but cast a vote for the enemies of the power structure, Cast a vote for the
revolutionary candidates, the Black Panther Party candidates running on the Peace —
and Feedom Party ticket. For Chairman Bobby Seale, for Minister of Detense Huey
P. Newton, and for our Communications Secretary, Kathleen Cleaver. And by Going —
this, we will ensure sharp @fpression and we are in a position to inflict pain. In —
Kathleen's situation, we can inflict pain upon the parasite class, the black bougecisie
within the black colony, because we can in fact bring about the defeat of this boot-
licker Willy Brown. And he has ignored the issues, he has refused to speak out for
the people at critical moments, he has refused to do anything except dance to the —
music of Hubert Humptirey, So we must ensure that he is not rewarded for this
lackeyism, and for this bootlicking, but that he goes down to the ignominious defeat ue
at the polls, And this could be done by mobilizing support behind a Black Panther
candidate and splitting the vote away from Willy Brown because the people are mad — 7

racist pig Republican, and it makes no difference to us, we have gained just as much
representation out of these racist pigs as we're getting out of this bootlicking Willy —
Brown. But he runs his mouth at certain times and gives the appearance of speak-
ing out for black people, but interms of getting something out of that legislature, or in —
terms of disrupeing that legislature, if be doesn’t get what black people want, or in-
terms of denouncing that legislature, Willy Brown has net come through. So we cannot
relate to his theatrics, we cannot relate to his buffoonery when he tries to convince —
black people that he is their He is a representative of the black middle —
class, and only the scab of parasites and functionaries for the white power structure —
withing the black community. ite did not represent all ofthe black midile clas,
but he has members of the black middie class and of the black masses pretending —
or believing that he represents them. So we have to disillusion him and show the peo~
ke that they can inflict pain upon him and get him out of the way, and then the
Line of demarcation between the people and these racist pigs who will win that seat,

political machinery of the white mother country and functioning as though be was just
another member of that machinery.
When & member, a representative from the black colony enters into the political
machinery of the white mother country, he can only, and he must only enter into that
political machinery in order to manifest the contradiction between the conditions, the
situation of black people amd that political machinery, He can mot go there trying to
push through wars on poverty and petty wars on welfare inorder to save black
people, We need a war on the rich pushed through these assemblies, these legis=
latures, through these congresses and through these courts, Now, we cannot get
excited or uptight or mad because Cecil Poole is not confirmed as a judge on the

HUEY ON ANARCHISTS AND INDIVIDUALISTS AS RELATED TO
REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE AND THE BLACK LIBERATION MOVEMENT
We should waderstand there is a difference between the rebellion of the anarchists and

Jexpression, being mobile, and being free to really be creative and do anything they want
to do.
The class-society prevents this. This is true not only for the mass of the lower or sub-
class. It is also true within the ruling clas, the master class. That class also limits
freedom of the individual souls of the people which comprise it,
* In the upper class, the individuals always try to free themselves from these limitations
oo the artificial limitations placed upon him through external sources: namely, some
jhierarchy that goes by the name of State or Government Administration.
. ts America, we have not only a class society, we also have a caste system, and black
people are fitted into the lowest caste. They have no mobility for going up the class
. They have no privilege to enter into the ruling structure at all.
Within the ruling class they're objecting (resisting?), because the people have found
that they're completely subjected to the will of the administration and to the maniputa-
This brings about a very strange phenomenon in American, That is, many of the re-
white students and the anarchists are the offspring of this master class. Surely
most of them have a middle class background and some even upper claws. They see the
imposed upon them and mow they're striving, as all men strive, to get freedom
‘of the soul, Freedom of expression, and freedom of movement, without the artificial
mitations from antique values.
Blacks and colored people in America, confined within the caste system, are discrimina-
ayainst against as 2 whole group of people. It's not a question of individual freedom,
it is for the children of the wpper clawes. We haven't reached the point of trying to
Mree ourselves individually because we're dominated and oppressed as a group of
Part of the people of this country — which is a great part — part of the youth them-
selves. Bot they're not doing this as # group of people. Because as a group they're al-
weady free to an extent. Their problem is not a group problem really, becuuse they can
yeasily integrate into the structure. Potentially they're mobile enough to do this: They're
*the educated ones, the “future of the country,” and so forth. They can easily gain a cer-
‘vain amount of power over the sockety by integrating into the rulership circle.
4 But they see that even within the rulership circle there are still antique valucs that
leave no respect for individualism. They find themselves subjugated. No matter what class
rthey're in they find themselves subjugated because of the nature of this class society. So
‘thelr fight is to free the individual's soul.

concerned, to rep!
wb ery age! 4 am ist Party and the other progressive parties,
the people were skeptical about the Commun y ana
id’ i of medium living. They lagged behind the people,
because they didn't side with the people sae Teale tet el payee
so they lost the respect of the people, and the peo
dents and anarchists. “
Rat the anarchists were unable to offer = structural program to replace the DeGaulle
government. So the people were forced to turn back to DeGanlle. It wasn't the people's
fault; it was Cohn-Bendit's fault and all the other anarchists who felt they could inet s-
from state to non-state.
In this country — getting back ome to North America now — we can side with the
student radicals. We would try to encourage them and persuade them to organize and
weld a sharp cutting tool.
In oder do this they would have to be disciplined and they would have at beast
some philosophical replacement of the system. This is not to say that this itself will free
the individual. The individual will mot be free until the state does not exist at all, and I
think — I don't want to be redundant — this cannot be replaced by the anarchists right
away.
Fs far as the blacks are concerned, we are not hung up on attempting to actualize or
express our individual souls because we're oppressed not a individuals but as a whole
group of people. Our evolution, or our liberation, is based first om freeing our group.
Freeing our group to a certain degree. After we gain our liberation, our people will not
be free. 1 cam imagine in the future that the blacks will rebel against the organized lead-
ership that the blacks themselves have structured. They will see there will be limitations,
limiting their individual selves, and limiting their freedom of expression. Bat this is
only after they become free as a group.
This is what makes our group different from the white anarchist — besides he views
his group as already free. Now he's striving for freedom of his individual self. This is the
big difference. We're not fighting for freedom of our individual selves, we're fighting for
a group freedom. In the future there will probably be a rebellion where blacks will say,
“Well, our leadership is limiting our freedom, because of the rigid discipline. Now that
we've gained our freedom, we will strive for our individualistic freedom that has nothing
to do with organized group or state.” And the group will be disorganized, and it should
be.
But at this point we stress discipline, we stress organization, we do not stress psychedel-
ic drugs, and all the other things that have to do with just the individual expansion of
the mind. We're trying to gain true liberation of a group of people, and this makes our
struggle somewhat different from the whites.
Now, how is it the same. It's the same in the fact that both of us are striving for free-
dom. They will not be free — the white anarchists will not be free — until we are free
so that makes our fight their fight really. The imperialists and the bourgeols bureatucratic
capitalistic system would not give them individual freedom while they keep a whole group
of people based upon race color oppressed asa growp.How can they expect to get individ-
val freedom when the imperialists oppress whole mations of people? Until we gain lib-
eration as a group they won't gain any liberation as an Individeal person. So this makes
our fight the same, and we must keep this in perspective, and always see the similarities
and the differences in it.
There's # tremendous amount of difference in it, and there's a due amount of simitari-
ties between the two cases. Both are striving for freedom, and beth are striving for lib-
eration of their people, only one is advanced to a degree higher than the other. The
“'-+ =00 advanced a step highcr, hut only in theory. As far as actuality of condi-
anarenne a. — soe Saar. m
tions, they shouldn't be advanced higher pecaw.~ —- shoud see the necessity of wiping
out the imperialistic structure by organized groups just as we must be organized.

‘This is our second venture into San Joaquin Valley. The last time we were here
we were picking cotton in the cotton fields, So this place reminds us of the truth, of
truth about the conditions of black people in the United states, Their condition is
of slavery and the Fresno area just ratifies that slave condition even more. And
fact that black people are 20th Century slaves is just as real as the fact that
Lyndon Baines Johnson is a rascist, cracker punk, But we didn’t just come here today
to call the rascist a name, What we wanted to do was have a kind of in-depth conver-

‘to talk about the fundamental position that college students find themselves in, in

‘we are in,
Recently we were talking to some people and told them that the American flag

said also that all American institutions represent a lie, The reason that this ts 80
because there is no instirution tn the United States, no American (and when you

. then you're talking about a lie, because America represents slavery;
erica represents hell; America's the grave. America ts the present. And Ameri-
flags should be Musbed down the toilet stool and burned up in sewage, or blown

they are merely talking about white people, and only a certain Segment

“THE NECESSITY OF A BLACK REVOLUTION”
War of 1776. And they teach you that it's patriotic to salute the American flag and
fay insanities Like “with Liberty and justice for all" in the same year that Martin
Luther King was assassinated, and the bullet that hit him, hit his head so hard that
it knocked off both of his shoes and blew out the back of his head and exploded in his
brain, you see, The same year that thar happened people were still saluting that piece
of tollet paper called the American flag. And the same years that 400-500 black
people were wiped out in ghettos Like Detroit and Newark and Los Angeles, black
children and white people in school were taught Co salute those murderous stars and
Stripes, all of the Insanities that that stands for.
So we go back to the American Revolution, We're going to compare the rioters
amd Jooters of today with he criminals, the rioters and looters in the Boston Tea
Party. Everybody remembers that, White folks said that they were Gred of taxation
without representation, All Gf GS were taught that in elementary school. White
people were tired of taxation without representation. And the same thing bas hap-
pened today. The same thing is happening today. All of the people of the Third
World of Africa, Asia and Latin America are tired, slaveously tired, of being
taxed without having any representatives in the political arena, without having any
representatives in the court houses, without having any representatives in the
college presidents’ offices, without belng college presidents, without being presi-
deet of this cracker jack country, without being the major of a city, without being in
control of the school board, without controlling and determining the destiny of their
own community. Taxation without representation,

was murdered six blocks from there, talking about ‘*The issue in America today
is one of crime In the street”,
So you get people deceiving college students, deceiving the general populace in
the United Srares with fabrications of ies, sheets and sheets of lies merely to
manipulate everybody, to manipulate you to the extent that you'll die for some
non-freedom in Viet Nam, that you'll die for some non-freedom throughout Asia,
Africa, and Latin America fighting people of color who have never victimized any
American persons.
So in the Boston Tea Party white folks said that they were tired of taxation
without representation, And they got some guns together. And they got Some gaso~
line, some molitof cocktails. And they painted war paint on their faces, And they
went down to the Gay of Massachusetts and they burned up every ship and every
factory in the harbor and threw all the tea overboard, They were rioting, They
were looting. That was “crime in the street’’, But nobody here would condemn
them for their revolution. And all of you here that are white are enjoying all of
the fruits of American democracy. That is, all of you here who are white who are
on the side of the power structure. There is no black person who is enjoying the
fruits. Even the tom is under intense danger bothways, from the community and
from the racists. So that every American institution is a le,
Aad what we seed here in the United States, what we must have, is an old fashion
criminal, black nigger, red Indian, yellow Chinese, pro-White revolution. Because
what we stand for in the Black Panther Party is UNCOMPROMISING FACT, We
know that the only thing that can change the condition of black people here in the
United States, or the peoples cf the Third World, anywhere in the world, the only
thing that’s going to get us what we need and want, we demand that we have the
right to determine the destiny of our own community; we demand freedom for all
black people, for all black political prisoners, we demand that all black people be
exempted from the draft; we demand that all people be wied by a jury of their own
“= a demand these things we understand that the oaly way that
peers, And because we wn. "== shatme im 17H the same
we're going to get them, the same way white [01ks yu unas on -..-, —
way black people in Cuba got theirs in the 1950's.,,.chat is with guns and force.
We maintain that political power comes through the barrel of a gun, If you doubt
ir, ask Lyndon Johnson, He talks about law and order, and he talks about non-
violence, you see, And when the brothers were revolting in Detroit, he had the
nerve to say, “You've got to remember one thing, You're only 10% of the popula-
tion, and if you act up the other 90% is going to wipe you out.” And he was using
some twicknology, telling us another lie,
Because that’s not even the way that it’s happening in the world. There are
more Chinese in the world than there are all the white people in the world put
together, There are 800,000,000 Chinese, And that’s a fact that all tho whire folks
in this audience have got to deal with. There are more than 80), 000,000 Chinese,
And then you have to consider all of the more than 600,005 000 Indians. All of the
Vietnamese and Koreans and the Japanese, all of the africans and all of the people
that are black, brown, red and yellow in Austrialia, in Latin America, in the
islands in the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, And when you realize that, there is
no such thing as a black minority, or a brown minority, or a yellow minority, or
a red minority,
The people of the Tbh''q World are in the majority of the population. More than
87% of the population of the world is black, brown, red, or yellow. That's anun-
denlable fa—. And all the white folks who wish to continue White Supremacy are
goloe tw get sent to Mars or the Moon or to heaven or to hell or wherever ‘cause
there is mo room on Earth for White Supremacy any longer! But there are some
die-hards, that is, they say they are die-hards, But actually you can look at all
the people that have been assassinated and you know that it Is noc hard to die.
But anyway, there are some people who feel that they are die-hards. And the proof
of that is what is happening in Viet Nam today, The Vietnamese said, we are going
to determine the destiny of our own country, of our own community, But Johnson
said to black people while the Vietnamese brothers were getting thermsleves to-
gether, you Negroes in the United States behave yourselves and be non-violent
and follow Martin Lither King, and later on In the 20th century we can give you
some civil rights, And he promised the sisters and brothers who worked on his
plantation In Georgia, he told them that “I'm going to coninve to give you some
second-hand clothes as long as you don't ask for the right to vote". And he even
sent some television men down to his plantation. And be told the brothers, “Negra,
if you say that you are not being created right on this here plamtation, I’ gon take
your second-hand shoes from you.'’ So the borthers said they was enjoying picking
cotton in the hot sun.
So that’s how you get the myth of the “happy slave”, There is no slave that is

‘The Black Panther Party is running candidates -- Huey P. Newton
for Congress, 7th Congressional Dist; myself, Bobby Seale, 17th
Assembly Dist; and Sister Kathleen Cleaver, 18th Assembly Dist. in
San Francisco. Of course we don't have the intricate machinery --

n't available to do many of the things that other candidates do when
they're going forth to fool the people into believing that they’re really
“ doing something for them and these political candidates are not.

THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1968 Page 16
educate the people about the true revolutionary struggle that’s being
waged that the lack Panther Party is the vanguard of here, But the
older people, we would like to say to you, that your votes were mis-
counted and the next elections that are going to be coming up in April,
for Oakland and Berkeley and May for Richmond, California andother
things that have been going on in San Francisco local areas -- we're
very concerned about community problems and we're going to relate
more to community problems, Aod we're going to relate more to the
election process.
We will have a proposition on the ballot in Richmond and Berkeley
for community control of police -- that’s decentralization of the police
cepts. where the people themselves throughout the communities -
both black and white « control the police depts, The black community
can have comrel af the police dept. and begin to stop battles in
Berkeley, and shoot-outs in west Oakland because we do not like
being attacked; and we will defend ourselves with guns when attacked
by the racist, pig power structure. And they will probably definitely
attack us just because we want community control of police In the
communities to put power in the people’s hand over the police
department. And I'm sure that most people understand the necessity
of this with respect to the way the police treated people In Chicago;
with respect to the way police have treated white people in che Ber-
keley University Community; with respect to the way police have
treated black people, not only in Oakland, andSan Francisco, and Los
Angeles, but how police have treated black people all across this
nation. It ts tlme people understand the necessity of taking power
away from the police, so the April ballots will have a significant thing
on them concerning community comrol of police where people
themselves can go forth. Andthe Black Panther Party intends, whether
or net the power structure digs it or not; whether Nafloso Mussalini
Alicto Likes it of not, we intend to put power in the people’s hands.
Whether Anglo-Saxon Ronald Reagan likes ik or not, we intend to put
power in the people’s banis, Whether Irish Chief Cahill and other
Police depts. who are predominantly Irish throughout the nation likes
it or mot, we intend to put power in the people's hands and remove
therm from the power structure by hook or by crook. And the votes of
the people are very important, and we hope that we can educate
people to understand the necessity of voting out these tyrants in the
power structure, voting out these atrocious, vicious dogs in the
power structure who are really not serving the people but are
really serving pigs.In other words to sum this up concerning com-
munity control of police, we're saying when they say “government
of the people, by the people, andfor the people” the only thing that is
really happening in fact is government of the pigs, by the pigs and
for the pigs. And that means that Alicto, Ronaki Reagan, Max
Raffertys, and Cranstoas, ctc. all down the Une, are nothing but
a bunch of hogs and pigs in the power structure controlling and not
really answering the desires of the people.
The Black Panther Party is going to go forth to make Sure the
desires and needs of the people are answered, we're going to
educate, we're going to perpetuate an understanding of why Huey
Newton has to be set free, why we have to have community control
of police, And the Black Panther Party is going to go forth with its
other programs whether we win an election or not. As we always
said, before the election, we're going to go forth with programs for
the people so the people can have power and corrrol, so the people
can be served by some kind of government representation, And when
we start talking about, and when we start instituting free health
¢lintes in the black communiry from the Ministry of Health of the
Black Panther Party; start talking about breakfasts in the morning
for the children at the churches — we're going to talk to these
church members and preachers and let thern know that their facilities
are not used inthe early morning time andthat all the Welfare children
can begin to be fed in the morning before they go to school. We’re
going to show up the Board of Education for what it ts, Supervisors
in Alameda County, Councilmen in Alameda County, Mayors,
especially in Oakland who are corning up om the April ballot will be
contested by members of the Black Panther Party, by candidates for
the Black Panther Party who are not going to jive. And if the power
Structure wants to attack us because we intend to remove them from
office, to overthrow them, to move them out from those offices by
either voting power or by gun power, we intend to do it; and we will
defend ourselves against the racist power structure.

CHI NEWSMEN
GET TOGETHER
CHICAGO -~ In the wakeof the!
confrontation with thelr editors
with Mayor Daley and his pigs,!
radical newsmen from the racist
establishment press in Chicago
have gotten together to form the
Qiberal) Association of Working)
Press and to publish anewcritical”
newsletter, the Chicago jour-
nalism Review.
According to their own report)
| of their formation, the newsmen
were reacting to the repression
in their offices:
“Every newsman knows that
within any racist shop there are
shibboleths and taboos; if the fabled’
Hearst sh-- list no longer exists
physically, the known attitudes of
pig editors and publishers shape &
reshape stories from initial as-
signment to final placement in the
racist paper or broadcast.’*
The Review, published monthly,
contains radical & progressive
reports on news that is generally
omitted from the big papers, as
well as criticism of the content of
news coverage.

Brothers must be disciplined and must fully understand that

remember that we learn warfare through warfare. kt is important
that we keep alert to the battles across the nation in that we learn
from mistakes, Go into each new situation as if it was the last.
Fight desperately to win, regardless of the odds, Never depend on

down it willbe Black vs, white for a long time before the ignorant
white racist orlentared working class realize that our black revoli-
tion will succeed, and the entire world will be at peace as a result,
Revolutionary warriors should organize thelr bands in such & way
that there exists a money making idea to be carried out by those
brothers who want to do something. All members should at least take
part in Mberating money necessary to finance the revolution.
REVOLUTION OVERTURNS EVERYTHING THAT GETS IN ITS WAY
REVOLUTION DESTROYS EVERYTHING THAT GETS IN ITS WAY
All revolutionary acts should be rehearsed as much as possible
before going into action. Remember that a baby crawis before he
walks, but if you are going to move on some money, move on some
money, Think big, act bad, and be deadly. Surike as much terror
in the white boys heart as possible, We must use the element of
Surprise all the time.
Two minutes should be enough to do any job unless you can control
all signals to the outside pig forces, Use more time when thorough
preparation has been made. Timing is important and resuls from
discipline and being qualified. In all instances of ripping off (liber-
ating) money, execute anyone who endangers the job and your life.
Do not hesitate to burn any pig no matter what, Revolution is a com=
plete change by violemt means, This means we must work on all
levels of revolutionary change, which means - fuck the racist pig
and all his society, customs, and materialism, Destroy everything
you can take with you, by any means necessary.
As we destroy so must we build, We must become equally revolu-
thomary in your spiriwal life, cultural customs and practice, social
and educational development, economic and survival planning. WE
SHALL CONQUER WITHOUT A DOUBT,

Food, water, and medicine will be essertial to all black families

buy ore ammo and guns and food, Adequate preparation is neces-
amd cannot be overlooked, A hungry man when fed is grateful.
sisters must really work hardest in the way of obtaining food,

LIBERATING (Ripping off) from the pig is a means of survival.
Bro. Malcolm says: A revolutionary warrior must be:
READY
WILLING
EQUIPPED
QUALIPIED
FOR ANY ACTION HE GETS INTO, This means he should be well
clplined without ego, of high morale, and able to work, think,
and live collectively.
“The Afro-American is in range of the American giant's Achilles
heel, American production, communication and the normal function
of the affluent scclety are exposed to the Afro-American natural
revolutionary reaction to tyranny and oppression. A united, well
organized armed and trained Black America is a potential] force to

120,000 MARCH
IN LONDON
LONDON <= Uptight Gritish of-
ficlals breathed a sigh of relief
the evening of last week when
some 120,000 demonstrators
marched in protest of the Viet-
nam war -— and kept things pre-
dominantly peaceful.
Confrontation versus non-vio-
lent protest bad become a big
issue in England during the days
preceeding the march, In bork
government and movement clr-
cles.
Heavy security measures were
underway the week before the
event, not the Jeast of which was
| the bannir of about 20 continental
activists includitg Daniel Cobn-
Bendit, Meanwhile, the National
Union of Students was urging its
400,000 members to boycott the
march and moderate movement
leaders were proclaiming the fu-
tility of confrontation politics,
Despite the generally peaceful
demeanor of most of the demon-
strators, there is speculation that &
vital and militant student move-
| ment may be developing in Eng-
land,
Recent actions in British col-
leges and universities have put the
racist government on its guard,
These incidents, such as the four-
day occupation of the London School
of Economics, may be contributing
to polarization of moderate and
radical groups,
NAACP LEGAL STAFF
NEW YORK == Resignations of
the entire legal staff of the NAACP
-- seven lawyers and seven cler-
ical workers -- one effective Dec.
1, were laid on the desk of Roy
Wilkins, NAACP executive direc-
tor, in a mass protest against the
firing of Lewis M. Steel, an associ-
ate, over his authorship of an
article critical of the U, S, Su-
preme court, entitled “‘Nine Men
In Black Who Think White,”’ which
appeared in a recent issue of the
New York Times Sunday magazine.
Steel had charged that the high
tribunal, in the past 15 years,
“struck down only the symbols
of racism while condoning or over=
looking the ingrained practices
which have meant the survival of
white supremacy in the US,"
The NAACP board of directors,
meeting in Park-Sheraton hotel,
yoted unanimous to fire Seeel, be-
cause of the article “is an in-
defensible rejection of the associ-
ation’s major efforts over the past
60 years.”
The hue and cry immediately
went out among other top-ranking
NAACI officials against the
board's action. Atty. Robert L.

for 24 years who made his resig-
nation effective as of Dec. 1, com-
mened ‘'l cannot in good con-
science plead for fair procedures,
the elimination of discrimination

Americans ... when the NAACP
leadership is so hyprocritical and
lacking in integrity as to feel free
to disregard these standards inthe
conduct of its own affairs."*

\a existing
pigs to be equipped with
revolvers at all times while off
duty is being challenged in Superior
Court. The complaint was filed
on Friday, November 8, 1965, by
Sidney M. Wolinsky, Director of
Litigation for the San Francisco
Neighborhood Legal Assistance
Foundation,
Mr. Wolinsky stated: ‘'I had
hoped that the Police Department
would take the initiative to abolish
the gun regulation and to specify the
instance when a policeman should
be prohibited from carrying fire
arms, Such action is necessary
to remove a source of danger and
amtagomism to all chiens, es-
pecially those of minority groups.
It is extremely unfortunate that
legal action must be taken torem-
edy the situation,” Mr. Wolinsky
ched his letters to racist swine
Commissioners and to Pig Chief
Cahill of October 9, 1965, in which
be urged their immediate action,
sistent with the prior request
of the Mafia pig, Mayor Alicto,
No action has been taken and Pig
Chief Cahill stated on Novernber
7, 1968, ‘*This is not the time to
disarm off-duty policemen.”
The complaint is a class action
brought on behalf of all Black
persons in the City whose lives
and safety have been threatened
without Justification by armed, off-
daty policemen, William J. Strib-
ling and Sarah Willis, rwo of the
plaintiffs, contend that their Lives
were threatened solely because of
their race by Michael O’Brien, a
San Francisco policeman, while he
was off duty. They contend thatthe
regulation, in practice, results in
Black persons being denied equal
protection and dhe process of law
because of this and other similar
incidents. They contend that the
regulation, in practice, is a
nuisance and should be enjoined.
They also argue that the regulation
is unreasonable and therefore in
violation of the City Charter which
requires that all rules promul-
gated be reasonable. The com-
plaint also argues chat the regula-
tion is in violation of the due pro-
cess clauses of both the Stare and
Federal Constitutions because i
was formulated in secret, without
prior notice or hearing, without an
opportunity for persons to present
information concerning the regu-
lation and without sebsequert pub-
lication,
The third plairtiff, Paul Nelson,
4 city taxpayer, argues that en-
mt of the regulation resuks
eful expenditures of public
funds for investigation, defense,
and settlement of claims against
the City filed by victims of violence
by off-duty pigs.

Raymond Lewis,
Deputy Minister of Information:
We feel we are growing stronger and stronger with each new

The last trip to Oakland with constructive suggestions by Don

extensive political education classes that are now in full action,
we are holding a forum with concerned, uninformed Afro-American
Aduks in the colony in the sincere hope to penetrate the brain
and unlock the chains amd bomds that the diabolical, habitual lying
madman has placed on certain individual minds in the past. We

AS our Minister of Defense Huey P. Newton says In his book,
“ESSAYS FROM THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE” page 8. ‘*The
oppressor, the endorsed spokesmen and the Iimplacables form the
three points of a triangle of death, The oppressor looks upon the
ENDORSED SPOKESMEN as A TOOL TO USE AGAINST THE IM-
PLACABLES to keep the masses passive within the acceptable
limits of the tactics he is capable of containing. The endorsed
spokesmen look upon the oppressor as a guardian angle who can
always be depended upon to protect them from the wrath of the
implacables, while he looks upon the implacables as dangerous and
irresponsible madmen who, by angering the oppressor, will certain-
ly provoke a blood bath in which they themselves are washed away.
THE IMPACAGLES VIEW BOTH THE OPPRESSOR AND THE EN-
DORSED SPOKESMEN AS HIS DEADLY ENEMIES, If anything HE
HAS A MORE PROFOUND HATRED FOR THE ENDORESED LEAD-
ERS THAN HE HAS FOR THE OPPRESSOR HIMSELF, because
THE IMPLACABLES KNOW THAT THEY CAN DEAL WITH THE
OPPRESSOR ONLY AFTER THEY HAVE DRIVEN THE ENDORSED
SPOKESMEN OFF THE SCENE,

PIG MYTHOLOGY
OF CHRISTIANITY
By Captain Crutch
CHRISTIANITY
Hefore we can umerstand the contridictions of CHRISTIANITY,
we must go back some cemturies an tell the conditions of POLITICS
i Palestine and Syria, em of inception it was a beautiful doctrine
& taught the wolfare of the people, the Golden Rule, but the doc.
trine of Christianity was not acceptable to the ruling pig Gentry.
Because it made the masses of the peopleaware of the contridictions
between themselves and the aristocracy, the pig power structure of
that day, Because of this the evil Gentry dec xed that Christianity
should be destroyed, at any cost, So consequentialiy, all prac-
tetoners of Christianity, were contained, beaten, murdered, har-
assed, and crucified, on orders from the High Gentry, the Royalty,
the Pigs of the power structure,
Whee this method proved ineffective the Evil Gentry sent in
their AGENTS to usurp, utilize, an gain control from the inside. An
then the Pigs controled Christianity, an anbody that dicn’t adhere
to the policy and Meology of Christianity, was persecuted and thrown
to the lion pit. Thus the beautiful original doctrine of Christianity
S. was changed to suit the Royalty, the Aristocracy, the Pig power
Structure. So in the beginning Christianity was conceived to promote
the Golden Role an create unity among all the people. An afterwards
Christianity was reinvented to PACIF Y¥ THE PEASANTS OF SOCIETY,
Christianity is of JEWISH or igin. The idea and the gradual develop-
ment of the idea of one just God Tuling the earth and bownd by a
Special promise to preserve and bring into honour the Jewish
people.
The Jewish idea was and isa curious, combination of theological
breadth and intense racia) patrictism. The Jews were looking for
@ speckil savior, a messiah, who was to redeem manking by the
agreeable processing of restoring the fabulous glories of David
and Solomon, and bringing the whole world at last under the bene-
volent bet firm Jewish heel. As the political power of the semitie
Peoples declined, and Spain became a Roman province this dream
grew and spread, (Heme the reason for strong relation to Catholic-
ism within the Spanish an Mexican communities, an Latin countries.)
There can be litthe doubt that the scattered Phoescians im Span
and Africa and throughout ite Mediterranean, Speaking as they
did a language closely akin to Hebrew and being deprived of the
authentic political rigs because converts to Juduism, On one
occasion the IDUMEANS being conquered, were al! forcibly made
Jews. Thence were AHAB tribes «bo wore Jews in the time of
Muhammad and a Turkish people who were mainly Jews in South
Russia in the ninth century. Judaisum was indeod the reconstructed
political ideal of many shattered peoples mainly semitic. As a
Fesult of these coalitions and assimilations. Almost everywhere in
the towns throughout the Roman Empire, andfarbeyond it in thd East
Jewish communities traded and fourished and were kept in touch
through the Bible, and through a religious and educational organiza-
_ “on, So therefore the main part of Jowry never was in Jodea and
had never come out of Judea. Manifestly this intercommunicating
ss Beles of Judaized communities had very great financialand political
ss facilities could assemble resources, they could stir up, they

; ‘had to take account of this people as a source of
4S a source of loans, or as a source of trouble. So the JEWS
_ _‘kave persisted as a people while HELLENISM has become a uni-
In the reign of TIBERIUS CAESAR a great teacher arose out of
Judea who was to liberate the intense realizationat the rigMevusnuss
and unchall ble oneness of GOD, and of man's moral obligation
to GOD, which was the strength of ORTHODOZ JUDAISM, from that
greedy and exclusive narrowness with which it was so extraordinarily
tatermingled in the JEWISH mind. This was JESUS of Nazareth, the
SEED rather than the FOUNDER of CHRISTIANITY. Many people's
of the world regard Jesus of Nazareth as being much more than a
human teacher, and his appearance on this PLANET not as a natural
event in history, but as something ofa supernatural sort, interrupting
aod changing that steady development of life toward a common con-
schusiess and a common will. About JESUS. I have to write not
THEOLOGY but HISTORY, aa my Concern is ot with the spiritual
and theological significance of his life, but with its effects upon the
POLITICAL and everyday life of MANKIND. One feels a the lean
and stresucus personality of JESUS is much wrongod by the un-
reality and Comventionality that a mistaken reverence has imposed
upon bis figure in modern CHRISTIAN ART, JESUS wus a penniless
teacher, who wandered about the dusty sun-bit country of JUDEA liv-
ao ing upon casual gifts af food YET he ts always portrayed as clean,
combed, and sleek, in spotless rainmem, erect, and with somothing
motionless abost him as though he was fiiding through the air. This
alone has made hin UNREAL and INCREDIBLE to many people
who cannot distinguish the core of the story from We ornamental
and unwise additions of the uninte!ligently devout.
And @ may be that the early parts of the gospels are accretions
of the same ature. The miraculous circumstances of the birth of
JESUS the great star that brought ise inen from the East to wor-
Ship at his manger c radie, the massacre of the male infant children
Qround an about Bethlehem by KING HEROD as a consequence
Of these portents, ami the Hight into Egypt, are all supposedly re-
Carded as accretionary matter by many authorities,
Jesus in reality was a historical Hippie am @ revolutionist teach-
mg revolutionary doctrine. Christianity, which was o very good
doctrine in its early ora of inception, JESUS was clearly a person
i; Of intense persomal courage an magnetisen. He attracted followers
an filled them with love and courage, Weak and giling poople were
: heartened and healed by his presence. Yet he was probably of a deli-
‘ cute physique, because of the swiftness with which he died under
the pains of Crucifixion,
The observance of the JEWISH SABBATH, transferred to the
MITHRAIC SUNDAY is an Hmportant feature of many CHRISTIAN
CULTS; but JESUS deliberately broke Sabbath and stated that & was
made for man and mc aaa for the Sabtath, Much that is most
i characteristically Christian i we rship and usage, he ignored,
} Scpetica] writers tave had the temerity to deny that Jesus can be
called 4 Christian at all, For light upon these extraordinary gaps
im his teaching. Fach reader must go to bis own religious guides,
Here lam bound to meation these EPs On accoum of the difficulties
and cont ridictions that a rose oat of them, and I am equally boend not to
enlarge upon the.
The Jews were joi suaded that GOD, the one God of ihe whole
world, Was @ righteous God, but they also thought of him as a trading
God who tad mace a bargain with their Father Abratam about then
® very good bargain indeed for them to Dring them at last to pre-
dominance in the earth, With dismay and anger they heard JESUS
seeping away their dear securitios, Contd, mext week)
RE: RACIST PIG CHIEF TOM (CHIEF PIG) REDDIN
We the people of the Black Community are very much aware of the JUST harassment
of your Pig Force. In retaliation we'd like to quote your own Pig Force after the
of the Long Beach SDS and Peace and Freedom Office; “Too bad it wasn't twice as big.”
Well we say, “Too bad it isn't tice as much!"
I's about time you got some of your harassment, brutality and dirt back. iis
We the people of the Black Community are also aware of the fact that it is YOU the
FASCIST PIG DEPARTMENT who is responsible for the bombings, torturing, brutality,
and MURDER of our Black People. .
Further more, we openly accuse you of being racist, fascist filthy PIG murderers and
DEMAND that you cease your actions against our people at once or you will be tried
by the highest court of the land and you will have to face the wrath of the Armed people, 3
As a closing message to you we'd like to say UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHER-
FUCKER!! .
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Los Angeles,
RE: RACIST DOG CHIEF OF PIGS Tom (REDNECK) REDDIN
You would like to have the people forget that you and your Racist Pig Force are the
outside agitator, the aggressor, and the oppressor who subjects Black Americans to acts
of brutality, torture, and murder. <
You ask how long can your Gestapo take name calling and rock throwing before they “
blow their tops and kill all the Niggers; but we ask how long do you thing the Black Com.
munity can take the insults, abuses, and blatent murders before we retaliate in kind? You 4
see, the common denominator of dissident organizations is that we recognize you for the
Fascit Pig Occupation Army that you are.
The people relize that Preventive Police work means “Secret Police” who attack people
whom they “Think” will Probably commit a crime, this means increased repression, more
M-16's, M-1's, shotguns and mace, You would attempt to threatent the people by warning
us that you are reasonable—but don't push. We say PIG! Cease your wanton murder, brn
talily and torture of Black People or FACE THE WRATH OF THE ARMED PEOPLE

— FILLING THE EDUCATIONAL GAP
740 - 60th STREET . OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA 94609
- Black Liberation Publishers Fills The Educational Gap -
On Friday, May 19, 1967 the Black Experience held at Merritt College
(Oakland, California) addressed itself to the topic “Black Culture and t
Students Dilemma — Getting an Education or Getting Jived.” The Black
student panel, without exception, expressed feelings that the present educational
structure of most schools in the United States were not meeting the needs
of Black Students.
The Black Curriculum concept introduced there by Sid Walton, a militant
Black faculty member at Merritt College, was highly endorsed by more than
300 people at the Black Experience and by nearly 1000 people REPRESENTING
BLACK GROUPS at the California Black Conference held in Los Angeles
May 26-28, 1967.
Black students want an education that teaches the TRUE history of
Afro-Americans and our role in the present day society. We believe in an
educational system that will give to our people a more thorough knowledge
of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in
aged and the world, then he has little chance to adequately relate to anything
else.
eee
Merritt College is the first Junior College to offer an Associate in Arts
in Afro-American Studies. Mr, Sid Walton had a significant role in the
implementation and development of the program there and has written a book
entitled THE BLACK CURRICULUM — Devetormsc a Paocham is AFRo-
Amenmcan Strupres. A limited number of pamphlets containing excerpts from
the book have been prepared to help you get started on a program until the

We believe in an educational system that will give to our
people a wledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of
himself and his position in society and the world, then he has
little chance to relate to anything else.
€. We want all black men to be exempt from military service.
———————— ————
We _ believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in
the military 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.

We believe we can end police brutality in our black community
by organizing 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 therefore 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 ana jails.
——
We believe that all black 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

We believe that the courts should follow the United States
Constitution so 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, environmental, his-
torical 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. .

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con-
nected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of
the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of
nature and nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation,
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights

not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly,
