The [Irish were an exploited population here, with the Anglo-Saxons being in contro! of this country. Anglo-Sixons had the political power, the financial power, and they weren't going to give if up. But Irish PIG CHIEF CAHILL I people like Machine Gun Kelly (paralleled in history ot to the Black Panther Party) had the same aspirations, The Irish wanted to get part of the product of this country by any means necessary. And they successfully organized the disreputable element in the Lrish community, and used organized guns and force to take over complete coatrol of their communities. telis us that they were into all kinds of ‘Pro; corrupt things liko gambling, bootlegging, and r vieos. It is never said that they were into ba , or rs the Irish were into imdustry; you have to go a little beneath the myth before you start getting ethnic insight, You have to be concermed abowt the original method of appropriation; such as how dees an ethnic group get its start in a county? How did the various ethnic groups 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 outside of the law. The Anglo-Saxons (incumbent pig Irish. r structure) was set upon by the power hungery Beneath the labels; relating directly to ethmic groups, a bit of satisfaction can be found in being able to refer back to history, And, oddly enough, history shows @ development between Al Capone and Mayor Alioto Being more explicit, a lot of people think the Mofis (or the organized gangland activity the Italians instituted in order to survive a5 a ethoic group in this country) was mt t so disreputable that & camnot be accepted.

The same position must be taken about Chief Cahill's feelings. ‘ y thing to be concerned about is unlocking the scret of their power, Concerned must focus on how they got into power, what conrition these ethnic groups were when they came to this country, and so forth. A book that is suggested for an In-depth analysis of ethnic croups is ‘Beyond the Melting Pot’. This is a book that runs down the history of ethnic groups; passing thom through the molting pot, and touching om what they were melted Into, Rut the book doesn’t exist that we really need - a book that would sepa complete falsehood, complete fab- Ticatlon along with complete Invention, and that will bring the disreputable element back Into each ethnic croup, I must be realized that it's that disreputable element that supplies the pressure, that supplies the DEPUTY PIG chaos, that supplies the friction, These same elements forces those who want law and order to make coaced~ o that they can continue the functioning of their What must be remembered is Casa Nostra was raided. Could {t be that the raid had anything to do with Irish and Halian politics on the East Coast? Kennedy, the man who had all these indictments in his hands against all these powerful people, had leverage for some political man- euvering, some political negotiations. And it's no wonder that a Kennedy (who happen to be Irish Catholic) was the first Catholic Preisent in this country. Is Mayor Alioto the first Mallan mayor of San Fran- cisco” The last one was Shelley, who was Irish, and he appointed Cahill, who was Irish, to be chief of police. We minst call this ‘ethnic coincidence’.

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 WULEELILEDELTEPEDELIL EEE EL 9 000 CoAT: | 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, PART Il: (Continued Next Week) ery) Py vie “i e iy ve i? 7 ; onubly arrested, ay A 1 DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST NEGROBS.,.., I THINK WE ALL SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE, «WHAT, ME WORRY ABOUT THEM?

WORKERS DO? have free political associstion. If this verdict stamls, ule gates ¥ KR, Stevenson in prisoa with Iteey P. Newton is your . to a free political chotee and to af Oaklaxd ... Locked up Tight to speak ... to organize... prison stand open for you. You, your future, and the future of your 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- shoremen for livey?’ And where are the Warehousemenand Team sters for Huey?"

THE BLACK PANTHER ALACK COMMUNITY NEWS SERVIC Panthers - B.S.U. Close S.F. State College PANTHER Striking students demanded that Murray be reinstated as Eng- lish instructor at State, Asother major issue of the strike con- cerned the list of demands pro- duced late last month by the B5t insisting, among other things, that beginning with the fall semester, 1969, all black and Third World students be accepted without hav~ ing to go through all the changes which traditionally have kepe moet black and Third World students from entering college. After a militant sit-in at the school last spring, the admin- istration agreed although re- luctantly, to admit 425 black and Third World students this fall. ‘The BSU charged thar not only has this agreement has not been met, but the funds which were supposed to have been allotted for the black Student program have been cut. Striking students also stated that because the white director of financial ald is guilty of prac- ticing racism by discrimination against black and Third World studems she should be replaced 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 World students who receive the beuta of the Injustice doled out at Stare, One of the tactios used by black students was the literal *‘taking- over” of classrooms, {Jack stu= dems would move into classrooms and force the teachers and other studemts to eave, AS ome ob} server said, ‘The kids don’t un- derstand that the black students have no alternative but force.’’ Although & is likely that the ad- ministration may escape respon- sibility of dealing with the list of deamods prescated by the black and Third World students, it is bery doubtful the issue of George Mur- ray’s suspension ts one that canbe brushed over.

Zionist conferences have been held regularly since 1897, At the first one, led by Theodore Herzl, Palestine was chosen as the most desirable place for a Jewish state, The British Mandate written in 1917 was adopted by the League of Nations in 1920, Britain's interest inthe Middle East was in keep- fing with its colonial imerests throughout the world. Zionists had stronger interests there, however, and since 1917 many attemps have been made to parcel out Palestine, See maps, The U.N, has passed resolutions and then stood by and watched the Israelis violate one boundary after another, the most outrageous being initial 1948 war followed by the 1956 campaign and then the June the UNRWA camps are modern concertration camps, There are thirty one in the occupied territories, most products of the 1967 war, ‘The Israelis are still trying to get the U.N, to approve their annex- ation proposal for the territories overrun in June 1967.

DAMASCUS (Pan African Press) —- The Palestinian Commandos deakk a heavy blow to the Israeli aggressors by blowing up on October 24, the Lydda Airport -= the biggest in Israel, U.S. im- perialism's tool of aggression. The explosion set the airport ablaze 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 building’ of the airport despite the fact that large numbers of fire- 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- two military vehicles and a stretch of railway and damaged a factory, Among these operations, the attacks on October 22 and 24 were most remarkable. In an attack im abulsus on October 22, “Assifa”’ | units under “Al-Fatah"’ (he Palestine National Liberation Move- } ment) destroyed a major part of an Israeli camp, dn ammunition | depot, a supply depor and one heavy machinegun and killed a large number of enemy troops. On October 24, ‘‘Assifa’’ units attacked a big Israeli camp in Our Sedrah, set the whole camp ablaze and killed or wounded a large number of enemy troops including a high- ranking officer. On the same day, another unit of the Palestinian Commandos destroyed an Israeli ambush site, an observation post and 4 rest centre for servicemen, killing or wounding twenty-five Lebanese Villages Shelled DAMASCUS = Israeli, U,S, im- perialism’s tool of aggression, made military provocations against Lebanon by shelling the villages on its border last week according to the Arab-Syrian News Agency.

And they're trying to move against us again = to thw=rt this reconstruction as they did the former re- construction, But this time we have something that we ‘idn’t bare when the re~ construction went down before. We have organizations that are controlled Dy black people; and, we are armed! Now they are able to intimidate black people through the use of terroristic organizations, the Ku Kjux Klan, the Knights of the White Camelia, the local police, and other vigilante operations. After they pulled the federal troops out of the south, and destroyed the black reconstruction that was going on, they Just swept all the black office holders out, there was no power in the hands of black people, to see to it thelr leaders were kept in power, But this time we don't have leaders in Power; we have lackeys and bootlickers who are supposed to be in power, they're in office, but they don't represent black people, and we also have those who speak for black people but who are ignored by the pigs in the power structure and also by thetr lackeys in the black community, They are deliberately ignored and glossed over, and tried to make them feel irrelevant or not part of what's happening. But this is something that we're hip to. We're not a part of what's happening with them, And they're not a part of what's happening with us, so that there’s two ings happening in this country, there's an old culture being consumed by its own , its irrelevance, its own decadence. It’s being consumed by its own death. It’s dying, it's killed, it bas killed itself, ic bas committed suicide, and these rinky-dinks that these pigs are going through are already the death throes of a dying, twitching carcas. So that it doesn’t become us to be come overly in- volved with these twitchings, because we must separate ourselves from the dead and we must begin to call our own shots and exhibit a Life force of our own that is 5 independent of the rwitchings of these pigs and their piggish system; that has its own rhythm, that has its own beat, that has its own time, that has its own calendar, that has its own direction, that has its own future, that has its own justification, that has its own reason for being, and, doesn’t have to explain it to pigs, because the pigs don’t want to hear it, they don’t understand it, and we don’t want to hear what they have to say. So we have to start making a distinction between the people im the pigs by projecting an alternative reality that not only manifests itself in terms of sit-ins, in terms of demonstrations, but also in terms of laying founda- dons in new directions, showing new ways of doing things, new ways of living to- a lot of things together that have been developing during both in the black community and the white community. of communalism that’s been developing, that needs to a spirit of anti-establishment that peed to be harnessed, and fon and there's also ideological attraction, together, thar will be the glue that will bold all of us done very quickly, it has to be shown dhis is irrelevant pigs’ calendar @ lot of people have to check it out, and check it out maybe wedded to a different way of doing things, b= wa ave said thar we are in the middle of « historic change, A direction has tm bs =—*~" bes wo te aod aac ~ aw we OCS CRED OUL ON, DEW ground =~ wewnwss, onns pOople will have to have the courage to take a new step in order to create newrealities, Andthe step that the pigs are trying to beguile us into following, the steps that lead down to the pit or the pig-pen of thelr disgrace.

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 | the contradictions, withing the system, We have to be able to understand that it's: “a perfectly legitimate strategy on the one hand to call as we did with our Black Panther /Yipple statemest to call for a boycott of the elections, to call for a mani- festation of the feelings and the aims of the people ut the polls in various inspired ways, It’s legitimate to call for that for those who are not going to vote any ny those who haven't registered to vote, those who will not be given a ballot, who cannot express or manifest their political position in any other way.

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 at Willy Brown and they will reject him at the polls, hell be trounced by an outright 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, who should have that seat will be very clear and we do not want to muddy up the = machinery by having represestatives from the black coloay entering intothe 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 United States court, federal jurisdiction, we have noticed that these black bour- geolsics have been uptight about that, they’ve been going through all kind of changes CONTD, ON PAGE 14

By HUEY NEWTON 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 the black sev Station of liberation of the black colony. “+ =teeee has been, This feact! ciet . imitations on individuals, mot just in terms of their occupation, ou mow wp 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. ’ This brings about another problem. They're being ruled by an allen source that has ‘nothing to do with freedom of individual expression, They waunt to escape this, to overturn this, but they see no need to form a structure or a real, disciplined vanguard ymovement. Their reasoning & that by setting up a disciplined organization they feel Whey'd be replacing the old stractare with otehr limitations, They fear they'd be setting Nthemacives up as directine the people, therefore limiting the individual again, ’ Bot what they don't understand, or it seems that they don't understand, ik as long Ys the military industrial « omplex exists, then the structure of oppression of the individual continue. An individual would be threatened even if he were to achieve his freedom he's seeking. He'll be threatened because there will be an organized lower group there ready do trip him of his individual freedom af any moment. eee ee —— disciplined . ; anguerd group that wae # are eet aot ey aaa rc wntil imperialisen bs completely ‘| disappe* - group, and they realized that the state won't © . wiped out, strecturally and also philosophically, or the bourgeouls peer | = changed, Once imperialism is wiped owt they can have thelr communist sty state or territorial boundaries will disapper- In this cies the anarchists seem to feel that If they Jost express themecives in- dividually and tend to ignore the limitations imposed on rare os perma = without discipline they can oppose the very disciplined, organi Srp $ This is not true.

Ye = a & system such as this is to oppose it with Leesa that’s even more extremely , than the structure you're op ng. eT peep anarchists wanting to go directly from state ee historically it's incorrect.

Now, 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. — ee 4 — ber St sear ee ss ea a ee ee

r.. BY GEORGE MURRAY MINISTER OF EDUCATION BLACK PANTHER PARTY SPEECH FROM FRESNO STATE COLLEGE ‘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- @ation about the fascism that is running around the United States at an insane pace, ‘to talk about the fundamental position that college students find themselves in, in 68, and talk about the responsibility of students to change the slave conditions ‘we are in, Recently we were talking to some people and told them that the American flag & piece of toilet paper and that they should bufn it to a crisp because k's a lie. And 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 | define the word ‘‘American’’ you would have to be talking about what's white, | Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish), When you're talking about Ameri- . 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 lup for several reasons, for 1 whole lot of reasons, One of the reasons would be @ mass extermination of peoples of color by Americans throughout the world. ff you doubt chat the American flag is a lie, how in the world is it in 1968 you some rascist politicians, three, running around the United States dastard- criminally saying that the issues confronting all the people in the United the main issue, ts the issue of crime in the streets, the issue of unsafe sts, the issue of Americans not being able to walk the streets and be safe, And when politicians say that they are mot talking about Chicanos; they are not talking about descendants of African slaven; they are not talking about Chinese, ‘They are ejecting even more rascism into the mainstream of American murder they are merely talking about white people, and only a certain Segment of the white population, that is the segment thar they can whip up into a fever of mass hysteria, Only the segment that will vote 4n Insane, a bafoon like Reagan or ‘Wallace or Nixon into office, So you find these people saying that today the issue is crime in the street and law and order, and that they are to stop criminals and rioters and looters destroying the basic fabric of Americanism, And we said that the basic febric of Americanism is a Ue. And America is the Pather of lars, the a * ns asteenm she Tother of the murderers of mankind, What is our proof? Father of proses, un . —... ‘ Pi eatin a the ecaacl 1 You get a man like Humphrey saying thar the issue ip cs sum a ~~ -— fssue is not crime in the streets, The issue is crime in the White House, bomo- ‘Sexuality in the White House, and crime in all the downtown City Halls and alll the ‘County Court Houses, and all the Jail Houses and all the Penisentiaries, A brother there mentioned Oakland, Oakland is on the list, but you're not to miss every City Hall in the United Stares and every State Capitol, And there ts no free territory exe, You're either a slave in the United States or a free white person. And even the feel that they are free are not free, because everything they do is ‘ough the television and the newspapers to the people right here, , toilet paper full of Nes, full of the bullshit coming from Kea- 's mouth or Rafferty’s mouth or Johnson’s mouth, we mean when we say that all American institutions are a le? We in the name of the United States Hubert Humphrey said that the war essential, And what he's np re id grey yak happening in Vier Nam is the total wiping out of a race of people, the tota Sond of a segment of mankind thar is black, brown, red, or yellow, the san that has happened here in the United States ever since the United States founded, , | Every group of Je that have been wiped out by the Americans have been people nd cokes. They scarted with the Africans and got us here and wiped out all the In- And the Cavalrymen passed out blankets infested with smallpox and dipcheria they couldn’r shoot Indians fast enough. And if you doubt that, you can read a called AMERICAN CULTURAL PATTERNS by & cat named Charles Wright. tHe explains how white Americans poisoned Indians when they couldn't kill them fast enough to take over their property. So everything thar we've learned in American os pad discussing concepts Like ‘Manifest Destiny,” you've heard of the saying, “Go West Young Man, Go West’ and in colnisal times they pashed and further West, And what a white student £714 in one of the classes that I d at San Francisco State, he bad the gall, the gumption and nerve to Say B day in class that “Manifest Decyiny’* meant the survival of the fitttest. ‘That was but a preachmem {4 White Supremacy because pbs be was saying bar this: the #*.. » wiped out the Indians did it because they w e, ame er eae che strongest, it did not even have anything to do with It had something to do with ger scide and the mass extermination of one re oup of folks, So that all American institutions are a lie, St areeraness pag Z { the reason that it is a be, the reason that the Dec- , 4 wiry . » f all men are | on of Independence is a lie is se year pgp tm ~~ pe ae. nalembir be = with certain § inaliensbl a ode shirt Frome hed plantations ead the pursuit of happiness, ie Sem tion full of slaves and he’s talk- @ siaves. Thomas Jefferson had a plantatio abot om of Man," F omy in «ip deke ae history classes they teach je ai i E | When fir to you about the Revolutionary THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1968 Page 13 “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, So all the people of Africa, Asia and Latin America are bursting over with the de- sire to become free, and are picking up gums to do so, And because they Go that, because the Black Panther Parry began in the city of Oakland, California and our leader, Huey P. Newton said, "The racist dog police must withdraw from the black community or suffer the armed wrath of the community’’, because he sald that and proved tt with guns and force, you see what I mean, be was sent to the penitentiary for 2 to 1S years. And tens and twenties and dhirties and hundreds of black people have been murdered, you see, in the western part of the United States by refusing to pick cotton and refusing to say, “Yes Sir’ to « slave boss, or like the brother in Washington D.C, two weeks ago who was murdered by a white police because he refused to accept a ticket for jaywalking. So all American institutions is a Me, The brother was about six blocks from the so-called White House when he was shot down Like a dog in the street. And Lyndon Baines Johnson, that racist cracker, was in the White House at the same time that the brother 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 CONTD, ON PAGE 24 a

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.

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. i a —— ee ee 4

Fight desperately to win, regardless of the odds, Never depend on kindness or appeals of mercy from ANY PIG, When the shit goes 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, NATIONAL STUDENT REVOLT Food, water, and medicine will be essertial to all black families during times of insurrection and war, The people must be constantly told what to do, cut down on materialism, store food, eat less meat, 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, medicine, water aod household supplies, 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 he reckoned with in its own right. * NEEDED: TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT MINISTER OF DEFENSE, HUEY P.

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. Carter, NAACP’s general counsel 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 und the right of freedom for black 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."* REVOLUTION TIME.

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.

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.

al i " fe ; THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1968 Page 20 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 ‘radely cu st om - wii tedice i. ‘weren't as abuadant or civilied as the still more sed Ss.

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.

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.

BLACK LIBERATION PUBLISHERS — 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.

We want full employment for our people. _ We believe that the federal government is responsible and _ obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living. 3. We want an end to the robbery b' Black Community. We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. _ Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as resti- _ ‘tution for slave labor and mass murder of black people.

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 in court a jury of their peer group or people from their bla 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. . urpose of determini their national destiny. 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.
