This has been exemplified with the commence- ment of the trial of the so-called ‘Conspiracy 8' on September 24th in Chicago. The fascist judge, ‘Adolph’ Julius J. Hoffman has promised that this will be the trial of the decade. It is obvious that this is the last stage and the turning point in Amer- ican history when the iron hand of the dicta- torship will be displayed. This mock trial would not be possible without the inclusion of the Black Panther Party. The fascist Gestapo pigs have rail- roaded our Chairman on another trumped-up charge. Having kidnapped him from San Francisco these lunatics took him by car to Chicago 12 days prior to the trial. They had him sleeping in various county jails through- out the journey. Jails not fit for any form of habitation. The result is that Chairman Bobby Seale arrived in Chicago sick from the rot and mess of the jails to face the SS and the Gestapo army. These fascist madmen have refused to to allow him to see a doctor and it is obvi- by any means necessary, It would be deviating not to keep to the pattern set, Charles R. Garry, Chairman Bobby Seale’s attorney, has requested a post- ponement of the trial as he is due to go into the hospital for an operation and is unable to be present in Chicago. ‘Adolph Hitler’ Hoffman has of course refused the request and Chairman Bobby Seale faces the fascists without an attorney The judge has gone through the process of a dictatorial jury selection in which ab- surd questions like ‘Does your daughter wear a bra?’ were the qualifications necessary to sit on the jury. Relevant facts like — are these people true representatives of the peer group of the defendants — were thrown out as being immaterial and irrelevant. This is a warning for us to intensify the struggle, to heighten our awareness, to come together as it is clear that this mockery of a system will not deem any justice and that the time is imminent for us to move from all directions. It is also the time for us to understand that the education of the masses must be in- tensified. The action on the part of the mo- murderous pigs in a demonstration outside — the courthouse shows that their level of a- wareness must be moved from a lower level to a higher level. The intentions of the power structure in relation to the Black Panther Party has been obvious for some time. The annihila- tion of the Party and the murder of all its leaders. However we should understand that the Black Panther Party manifests an idea and the idea must live on as long as there is oppression, When the oppressor launches a vicious attack against freedom fighters because of the way they choose to go about their lib- eration then they know they are moving in the right direction They have been unable to defeat, ham- per or dull the revolutionary spirit of Chair- man Bobby Seale. We should learn from his example and fight for his freedom, Huey's freedom, the freedom of all political prison- ers and an end to the massive repression.

From the hand picked jury (eight middle aged, white suburbanites, two house negroes, and two big businessmen-~all registered voters) to the con- stant denial by Julius ‘Adolph Eichman’ Hoff- man of all the defense motions. Before the selection of the racist, Nazi- ridden jury was made, they were allowed to read newspapers in the ceremonial courtroom. Later, Hoffman, pig Nixon's chief fund raiser and right hand lackey in Illinois, told the prospective jurors not to read newspapers, listen to TV, or talk with each other. The special category of jurors, all regis- tered voters, were in contradiction to the political morales of the defendants. The de- fendants, demonstrators against the bourgeois political process, and a socialist revolution- ary, an advocate of the people's dictator- ship {proletarian democracy) are going to be tried by people who support and particiy ate in that same bourgeois political process. This unrepresentative, illegal and unconstitutional jury is illustrative of the court proceedings here in fascist America. THE BLACK PAN- THER PARTY demands that all defendants be tried in a court by a jury of their peer group and not lilly-white suburbanites, right- wingers, black lackies, and capitalist business. men. This overt misrepresentation of the community illustrates the ‘conspiracy’ against the defendants in general and the Chairman in particular-—this is the only conspiracy. Kunstler acknowledged Hoffman's ef- fort to intimidate all defense counsel--then For those who've never watched our municipal courts in action, we asked a court employee for a short description of an interesting day in the court. The following events took place on October 28, 1968. Magistrate James L. Oakey, sitting at the Juvenile Court of Cook County, Illinois, came back from lunch stone drunk. That afternoon he was so the fascist tee-totaler warned him to watch the language that he uses (not to talk of ob jective reality). It will be impossible for a true revolu tionary, Chairman Bobby, to get a fair trial from a bourgeois reactionary. This fascist bourgeois state (Babylon) is using the courts to fall the revolutionary machine. But it won't work, the Vanguard Party, the motive force of the revolutionary movement, has al- ready began to motivate, mobilize and ener- gize the once sleeping masses. The trial of Chairman Bobby shows the people that unless they are in power to contro! all legislative and judicial processes (proletarian demo cracy), their leaders will be railroaded and the Vanquard will be slowed down William J. (Jobawaukee) Campbell, Chief pig circuit judge and ‘Adolph’ Hoffman have schemed together to stifle any and all communication and information on the trial No press releases, press statements, photo graphs, pictures or tapes can be made by the defendants to express their view of the legal lynching. The Chairman isn’t even allowed to speak to the press in the presence of the mechanical monsters (U.S. Marshalls). ‘A- dolph’ has said that he isn’t there to satisfy public interest but will ‘run the court as I see fit.’ (A bourgeois reactionary and fascist op- pressor can only give a bourgeois reactionary verdict and run a trial in the manner of Nazi fascists.) ‘Adolph's’ fascist tactics became more imminent during the proceedings when he locked up two Attorneys for the defens-, One attorney, verald Letcourt, is the chief counsel for the New York 21 and must re Chicago Judge Assaults Woman plowed he fell right off the bench, ending with his face flat on the floor. In this state of intoxication he handed out “justice” to teenagers for the rest of the afternoon. When the last case had been heard and the court room cleared, Judge Oakey propositioned Mrs, Joan Bye, a probation officer. She turned the old goat down. Judge Oakey wouldn't turn to New York to fight for their freedom. The only reason he can give for locking the attorneys up is Chairman Bobby’s insistance upon having Charles Garry as his counsel. This is blackmail, piracy, genuine and una- dorned. One must understand the significance of the courts here in Babylon. There aren't too many more pigs they can hire, or too many more laws that they can pass; but the fascist power structure can call grand jury hearings and issue indictments forever. They are using the court system to frustrate the revolutionary struggle and imprison the man- power needed to carry the revolution through to the end. Pig Nixon, Hoffman, and Hoover, we have uncovered your ‘conspiracy’ against the people. The people of the whole world see through your fascist lies and your kangaroo court. You smell of pig manure and your true nature is evident to all who see you wal- low in the mire. Keep your hands off Bobby mother-—--. Keep your hands off the people. You are on the verge of extinction. The peo- ple are waiting for the opportune time to hang you for your astronomical crimes. You and all reactionaries are doomed. Give up ‘Adolph’ Hoffman, we are ‘too revolutionary proletarian intoxicated to be astronomically intimidated.’ Justice To Those Who Deserve Justice Death To Those Who Deserve Death Free All Political Prisoners Seize the Time, Off the Pig Lt. Eugene Charles Information, Mlinois Chapter, BPP take no for an answer. He chasea Mrs. Bye out of the courtroom, down the hall, and into the Woman's Room where she had to lock herself in to protect herself. This caused a small scandal. Although the Honorable James L. Oakey is no longer at the Juvenile Court, he is still performing his act in some other Chicago court room.

Judge Adolph Hitler Hoffman an old senile decrepted pennyanty, rinky dink, scattered brain, embezzler has_plotted one of the greatest consplracys of all times. The people see this Kan- garoo Court as a clear indication of the international plot to destroy the Black Panther Party. There was over 7 thousand people at the courthouse Cn the opening day of Chairman Bobby's trial and 90% of these people were Black, The people that came to the trial did not come to witness any type of legal, judiciary action being taken. The Poople came for an education, they came for a good look at fascism. And that's what the people saw, But we don't think the people will allow this Kangaroo s--t to go on much longer, We see the people when they really get hipped to this s--t moving 15 a disci- plined revolutionary manner to free Chairman Bobby, tofree Huey P. Newton, to free all political prisoners and to establish revo- lutionary political power. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Fred Hampton San Francisco This ts a statement from John Brown, a Panther well-known in the community as to how the pigs of San Francisco are trying to rafl- road him to jail for exercising his right to voice his opinion of the people and the right to free speech, He is charged with 2 counts of assault and battery, trespassing, and loitering. This is his story of fascist tactics used against him and another Panther on February 20, 1969 Another Panther and | were in- vited to speak at a planned rally given by the Black Student Union JOHN BROWN, SAN FRANCISCO, TEACHING THE YOUTH at Balboa High School, The purpose of this rally was to commemorate Malcom X's birthday and to help organize the Black Students’ Union there, The Dean of Boys, as the pigs wish to be called, (Pig Murphy, now the center of the racial battles at Bal) at the last minute told the brothers that they could not use the auditorium in which this rally was to be hold The Dean of Boys refused to let any students that were already In the auditorium out, and would let in none of the students interested in learning about our great war- Justice rior Malcolm X, Asitriedto enter, I was surrounded by pigs in plain clothes and other teachers, I was told that I was trespassing and was under arrest. I knew I was invited there by the Black Student Union, and had not broken any law. I made a move to break out of this circle and was successful. | made It Into the auditorium where,the students were waiting to begin the rally. I had to tell them what happened out- side and that I would not be able to talk about our fallen warrior Malcolm X, and left, Four weeks later I was arrested. GS During the week of September 24-28, I had a jury trial to de- termine whether or notl was guilty of breaking the law of the Boardof Education, Except for a Chinese who could hardly speak English, I had an all-white jury which found me guilty of serving the people, It only took them four days to try the case and 2 hours to come back with a verdict of guilty, This is Just another clear oxam- ple of fascist courts not designed for the Justice of the people, but to defy the people and use the lies of ‘‘In God we trust’’ to railroad brothers into fall who try to serve the people. John Brown was one of our teachers during Liberation School this summer. He Is now the Assistant Coordinator of San Fran- cisro’s Free Breakfast for School Children Program to help feed the hungry children of the community tree hot breakfasts. As you can see from his state- ment about the jury, an all-white jury, not knowing or being able to understand the average reasoning Black man of the Black community such as the Fillmore district, can- not possibly try a Black man and find him ‘‘guilty."* The Constitu- tion of the United States says that all men have the right to be tried by a jury of thelr peer groups or members from their ethnic, social, or economic background, This only shows more cause for the ninth point of the Ten Potnt Platform and Progrm of our Party which states, “We want all Black people whea brought t6 trial to, be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their Black communi. tles as defined by the Constitution of the United States ata’ iy to what we are subjected to in America. We compare the case of * e Stupid Revolution: PREY FOR PIGS At one time this Judas jack-In- ape, Wilbur Thomas, was trying to worm his way into the Black Panther Party, Brooklyn Branch. He reached the honored position of Panther-in-Training. However, his social practice indicated that something was shakey, the nigger vascillated too much, so his status as a Panther--in--Training was terminated, He was told his prac- tice was not up to par to qualify as a Panther-in-Training and that if he wanted to maintain a re- lationship with the Black Panther Party tt could only be as a friend of the Panthers, During his brief association with the Party he ob- viously scoped around, Due to the fact the purge in New York was just gotting underway he scopedon * some fools who at best could only qualify for the stupid revolution, namely Alfred Cain, Ricardo De- Leon and Jerome West. Alfred Cain and Jerome West supposedly had “‘personal'’ problems and re- quested a leave of absence and became inactive. Ricardo DeLeon had to stop relating to Panther offices because somebody was - bringing smoke on his a-s from some problem he had before he Came to the Party and hé Was! trying to hide, Sometime around the first part of August, these candidates for the stupidrevolution got their heads together along with that fugitive from the ‘‘mod squad"’ Wilbur Thomas, During the inves- tigation I was unable to discover who Initiated the idea but the events bear out the fact that run- ning dog, beotlicking Wilbur Thomas was In complete control at the time the trap was sprung. On August 16th, blasting on all the newscasts was, four ‘Black Panthers'' from Brooklyn were arrested as they came off the West Side Highway. According to news reports, Alfred Cain, Ricardo DeLeon and Jerome West were charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and possession of dangerous weapons. Wilbur Thomas, according tonews reports had been turned over to federal authorities for some vague unex- plained reason, As time went on all mention of Pig-Agent-Provaca- ture Wilbur Thomas was dropped, The other three, now fully in- itiated members of the stupid rev- olution and automatically expelled from any association with the Black Panther Party, are sitting in jail with $50,000 bail each, The next week Wilbur Thomas was seen walking the streets. I got his address 755 Fenimore St., Brooklyn, N.Y, from infor- mation he had given when he came to the Party. Typical of a stupid and arrogant pig, he gave his real address, At least when I staked out the address | saw him going in and out of 755 Fenimore, It truns out the pigs found plans that had been drawn up for the job in the car, Guess who drew up the plans? Right on! Pig Thomas, Guess who was driving the car and guess who got the car for them to go pull the job in? Right on. Pig Thomas guilty on both counts, The thing to top all of this madness off is the fact that all three of those high ranking members of the stupid revolution say they suspected Wil- bur (I Spy) Thomas of belng a pig all along. Man when they drove off that 125th St. exit half the N.Y,P.D. was there waiting on them, al- ready having been notified by pig provacature Wilbur Thomas, Pig Thomas’ ‘‘impossible mission” wasn’t over yet. On Sept. 9th David Conyers, the coordinator for the Free Breakfast Program in Brooklyn, was vamped on, He was charged with supplying a plece for the performance. Also on the same day David Conyers along with the three musketeers, Alfred Cain, Ricardo DeLeon and Jerome West were Indicted for conspiracy to commit murder, It seems as if some pig remembered that when they vamped on Alfred Cain he pointed a sawed off shotgun at the plg. The plg ‘heroically’ jerked the gun away before he was shot, The Informallon that I have at this time Indicates that David Conyers was co-owner along with Alfred Cain and I don't know who else of a9 Mi carbine, The PRESS RELEASE: TOKYO, JAPAN This press conference {s called in regard to the political oppres- sion of the Chairman of the Black Panther Party, Bobby Seale and the oppression of the Korean citi- zens and the citizens of Sanya in Japan.

He was secretly transported to Chicago to«stand trial on charges of inciting the so-called riot in that city during last year’s Democratic National Convention, Black Panther Party , degree 2 being night before the grand performance they weul by Duvtd’s house and picked It up, This ts a clear case of en- trapment, Pigs, agents and pro- vacatures are just laying In the cut looking for candidates for the stupid revolution to entrap them and make it appear that this Is what the Panther Party is all about. They use the stupidity and pol- itical backwardness of these fools to try and vilify the Black Panther Party and destroy our support in the community, This technique has been used on more than one oc- casion by the pig provacatures that manage to worm their way into the Black Panther Party. They will take some loose and ground- less talk or action of some ad- venturistic jack-in-ape and the next thing you know there is some jive conspiracy bust, Starting with, but not limited to Larry Powell and Tommy Jones these fools al- ways turn on the Black Panther Party themselves, They reject the Party's discipline but when they get busted they expect special consideration. When they are In- formed that they are expelled from the Party and will recieve no sup- port from the people they always become very reactionary. A true indication of how revolutionary their politics were to begin with. Later for these fools PIG WILBUR THOMAS lf there should be any candidates for the stupid revolution still un- detected within the ranks of the Black Panther Party, you had better take your adventuristic s--t on the outside, The way you niggers always turn on the Party after you are exposed shows that you fear the pigs so much that you would rather sell your soul to them and begin to attack the Party. So maybe it just might be time to find out about ‘‘the creater fear,’ LATER FOR THE STUPII REVOLUTION D.C, Field Marshall attornies were not allowed to ac- company their client to Chicago, In fact, they knew nothing of this action by the gourts until they were ready to take Bobby. The man is being denfed all his legal and constitutional ‘‘rights’'. After the Chicago trial they will try to extradite him to Connecticut where they have charged him with first murder in the case of Alex Rackley, who the Connecticut pigs allegedly found dead, after tortured, On this totally trumped up charge, our Chairman faces life imprisonment or even execution, Our Chairman was not even in Connecticut at the time of the so-called ‘‘murder'! So we ask the people of Japan to stand in protest and to move Against the oppression of the citi- zens of thelr own country and to understand that when their govern- ment makes pacts and agreements with the Unired States, it is en- dorcing these foul and inhuman acts against mankind and they are in fact subject to the same atroci- “es themselves. If they do not move to put an end to this fas- cist action and the oppression that runs rampant In our communities today, the same kind of fascism will infest thelr communities to- morrow. “Big Man National Deputy Minister of In- formation Black Panther Party THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 1969 PAGE & STATEMENT FROM CHARLES R. GARRY This is Charles Garry speaking from bed- room 552A Mt. Zion Hospital. I'm feeling a little better today, but this is an operation ‘ that I don’t recommend anybody to take vol- untarily, Getting down to serious business, f mdeeply and affectively worried about Bobby Seale and what's. going”om in Chicago. Forcing Bobby Seale to go to trial without a lawyer is pro- bably one of the gravest things that ever happened in American history and a gigantic public relations job has to be done in that relationship, I'm surprised that more atten- tion has not been given to this matter by the so-called liberal lawyers of America. I say so-called because my experience has been that they only become alarmed when it’s going to affect them personally. And they do not be- come alarmed unless they are directly affected, If we could only get that case in Chicago continued so that I can get into the case and Start representing Bobby, I'd feel better. I just lay here and watch the news and watch all of the wild things that are going on throughout the country and there’s nothing I can do about it. Bobby must have representation, not only in Chicago, he’s got to have representation in New Haven, Barnie Dreyfus tells me that the New Haven case ts being moved Into a good position. He's satisfied with the lawyers that are on the scene working at the present time.

CITY’S APATHY SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE In the olden days, human genius, the brain of man created only to give some of the benefits of tech- nology in culture, and to deprive others of the bare necessities, education and development. From now on all the marvels of science and the gains of culture belong to the nation as a whole, andnever again will man's brain and human genius be used for oppression and exploitation, The proletariat will perform this titanic historical feat, for in them lie dormant the great forces of revolution and reno- vation. The spirit and the power of a "united people can surmount any dif- ficulties and smash injustice. I was the spirit and the will of the people in Corona-East Elmhurst standing side by side againstacor- rupt and racist government voicing thelr demands and taking a firm stand which gained them life saving devices (traffic lights) that the city government of New Yorkhad failed to provide, It is unfortunate that a young 17 year old sister named Barbara Herring had to be a vic- tim of this automotive genocide before the people realized the necessity to organize their forces and voice their demands as a united community, They have now realized that the spirit of the peo- ple is greater than the man'stech- nology. This sister lays in the hospital crippled but she is strong because she realizes that her loss was the peoples gain. And that wherever there is struggle thereis sacrifice and death is a common occurrence.And a slave who dies a@ natural death can't balance out the weight of two dead files. It is because of unfortunate accidents such as this that the people Join forces, But the people must under- stand the oppressor, the very per- son who is the cause of this accident is injuring and murder- ing people everyday. The people must bare in mindand unite around this and smash the exploitation and oppression that is starving their children and murdering their people. If we were to sit idly by and wait for such accidents to happen that happened to sister Barbara we will constantly be under the same conditions that we are subjected to today. Whether it effects you personally or not, you are still onthe chopping block of capitalism, exploitation, and oppression, You can run but you cannot hide from this leech that sucks the life out of the bodies of man through his lying politicians and his greedy businessmen, PEOPLE OF THE WORLD UNITE AND DEFEAT THIS BEAST BE~— FORE HE DESTROYS ALL MAN- KIND WITH HIS GREED AND FAS— CIST MERCENARIES ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, and de- feat our one common enemy which is U.S, imperialism and U S, fasicsm. It is the people who are the mo- tive forcesofthemakingof world history and it is the people who will destroy this beast, this pig motherf----r who openly and viciously attacks the people whom we love, The open attacks on the Black Panther Party clearly in- forms the people that they do not want an organization in existence that will serve the people meeting thelr basic needs and desires and educating the people to the systems bulls--t, their genocide, their oppression, and exploitation of the masses, the people who suffer under their fascist rule, It is inevitable that this beast will be destroyed, Because the peo- ple will no longer tolerate this suf- fering. It is the history of mankind to constantly destroy and rebuild society when it no longer has the interest of the people at heart, And the government, this racist and decadent government is no longer serving the people, they are serv- ing their own greedy needs and desires and deliberately allowing the people to suffer. So let's ORGANIZE and overthrow this racist and capitalist socilety that subjects us to so much misery and pain. SO DO SOMETHING NIGGER IF YOU ONLY SPIT!!! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISON- ERS Black Panther Party N.Y. Chapter Corona Branch 101-16 N. Blyd, Carlton Yearwood, Dep. Capt. HOGWELL SNORTS With the top ranking pigs in_ Denver worrying about how best to deal with the Black Panther Party without showing thelr true colors to the people, called in thelr favorite errand boy, Elvin Hogwell. Now, Elvin being a good piglet, always does as he's told. So when he gets his instructions, from the Hog Heads, he follows them to the letter and accuses the Black Panther Party of threatening his life, libel, and slander and an- nounces that he intends to sue for $100,000 pigskins, Hogwell says he got his infor-, mation from policemen that he didn't name, ‘‘who knows from re- Hable sources that this life had been threatened,’’ The pigs that gave Hogwell this “information’’ were none other than Mickey Mouse McNichols, Minnie Mouse McKevitt, Simple Pig Seaton, and the Sadistic Pig Smith; andthis was not information it was ORDERS We must remember that Elvin is nothing but a lowley shoeshine boy who uses his tongue Instead of a rag. And in order to main- tain his position for 20 years, there are certain sacrifices that he must make, namely his manhood, his| respect and dignity. _ When Hogwell sues the Black Panther Party or says he'll not rest until we are run out of town, we must remember that this is a directive from the chief razor- back, because being a mental fea he hasn't the backbone to stand alone, The Black community is a- wakening to the light of the truth, And the fact that a $100,000 ora million pigskin suit is aimed at the people means nothing--for like those cowardly, spineless pigsit's only paper and it'll burn, and will light the way to our Iiberatton, SO LET THIS BE HEARD: Elvin Hogwell, alias pig council- man Caldwell, has once again e- merged from the slimey bowels of the city hall fatmouthing and murdermouthing on the legitimate struggle of the Black community. To give credit to this as a poor attempt of bad humor is to give credit where it is least due, Any- one who has been lying, shucking and jiving as much as Hogwell needs to fear for his moldy life, But he shouldn't Matter himself or have the audacity to feel that the Black Panther Party is going to Kill him, Hogwell isn't worth the ten cents It would take. We'll take this money and put it toward feeding hupgry school children; for this is our only reason for being-- to serve the people wholeheartedly, We recognize Hogwell's latest claim to fame as nothing more than a vain attémpt to legitimize and implement the genocide and extermination of the Black com-, munity, and it's warriors, the Black Panther Party, to anyone stupid enough to listen to this Idiot's squawking, namely the pl¢ power structure and its hinchmen, the FBI, and the local yokels of the Denver Pig Department, For him to say he stands on his record means nothing to the Black com- munity; for this fs precisely why he was tried and found guilty, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT; The rape of the political arena by a mental flea and the prostitution of the legitimate struggles of Black and oppressed people in Babylon by a ‘People’s: Pimp’ has left a foul smelling afterbirth known as Elvin Hogwell running wild in the pigpen of Denver. AND THAT: The pig power structure of Denver in its attempt to justify its predatory war on the Black community and the Black Panther Party has scraped its cesspool and has again used Its flunky Elvin Hogwell, to mislead the people; and that the Black Panther Party stands as one, withall Black and oppressed people. Weare going to meet the needs and desires of the people, regardless of how many bootlickers, Pig McNichols, Chief Pig Seaton, and Mickey Mouse McKevitt send into the Black com- munity with their hog calling lies, POWER TO THE PEOPLE << NE. RED DEVILS — AND REVOLUTION The Black Panther Party has exposed the conditions of hunger for what they are, The Black Panther Party has exposed them by seeing the problem and deal- ing with the solution of tho pro- blem, This was by our setting a correct example for the masses of the people throughimplemen- tatlonofa Free Breakfast Program, I'm speaking of the FREE BREAK— FAST FOR CHILDREN PROGRAM where some 10,000 children across the country are being fed a well balanced meal five days a week, Now it has become necessary to move on another detrimental problem- DOPE, Once the politics of WHY there’s so much dope in our community and WHAT it Is doing to individu- als and to the community as a whole has been exposed, then and only then, will we be able to move effectively against this evil. DIG! All hard drugs are used to suppress and divide the revolution- ary spirit in our community and, in particular, our youth, Belleve this: the Black and other oppressed communities here in Babylon are at war, Most people don't realize this yet. This Is mainly because the attacks on our people are camouflaged by the demagogic, lying pig power struc- ture, At this stage of the game the murderous pig power structure has moved their war of genocide tothe school grounds where our children play, There the leeches of body and soul prey upon the ignorance and inquisitiveness of our youth In order to peddle the deadly and mind-twisting barbituates, Red Devils and Yellow Jackets, First they come around and give the kids some free turn-ons, That goes on fpr a while then the lunch money comes in, In every major city where large numbers of Black people live this tactic of suppression is used, But it has only been in the last two years that they have intensified this war on our youth through dope. Both the East coast and the West coast have been heavily saturated, Now it seems they are moving in- land, The Black Panther Party real- izes the immediate danger and the future outcome of our community and especially our youth if these drugs are allowed to be pushed right in front of our faces, Thousands of incidents dealing with the influence of different forms of dope have been recorded, When quoted they seem to become faceless to most people because they do not personally affect them, But Saturday, September 6, 1969 at Park Hill Shopping Center, a young Black man met fate face to face as a long butcherknife ripped at his flesh and sucked away his life: (Richmond Higgs, a 19 year old brother loved and respected by many here in Denver). His partner, a brother named Lewis tried to help Richmond and wound up in critical condition by the same knife. There were reports that the pigs sitting on the opposite side of the shopping center laughed as this matinee of horror was in progress. When itwasall over they came and busted Robert Taylor. Panthers tried to stop the bleed- ing of Higgs as he lay dying, but pigs did not let them continue, They let Higgs lay there for at least a half hour. This particular in- cident left one brother dead, one critically wounded and one in jail, The three things that these brothers had in common was that they were all young, Black, and high off barbituates (Red Devils and Yellow Jackets), The major factor that must be understood is that if Richmond Higgs wouldn't have been under the influence of this drug, he might “have atleast had afighting chance, By allowing one’s mind to become stagnant confused and often dis- torted we are falling victims tothe conquering tactics of thisdecadent society, Divide and conquer, the oldest one In the book, but the most effective, Black brothers and sisters, don't be fooled by the sweet promiseof cotton candy and white laced dreams, whether they come from versed lip service, the deceiving pen, or the killer pill. It's bad enough allowing them to destroy thousands of unborn Black bables by letting them cram birth) 3 control pills down our sister's) throats under different forms of deception, and filling the ranks of the racist army with the young warriors-protectors of the Black community, Then on the other hand they cram the concentration camps (prisons) ‘with those who rebel against the genocidal practices of their racist, fascist government, So you can plainly see that a direct attack is being made upon the Livelihood of your community-- our youth, The pigs know who the main suppliers and local pushers are. But nothing is done, and there Is a reason why. Everyday incidents such as rapes, fights, cuttings, and shoot- ings go down in the streets of Denver and snakes you don't even know about are behindthem, These are the suppliers of the death drugs who are in fact given a free hand to move by this racist, corrupt, murderous government-{it is the Mafia, The Black Panther Party's pri- mary objective is to make the people fully aware that it Is the government, from the demagogic megalomaniacs Nixon and Hoover Mickey Mouse McNichols and Pig Chief Seaton who are the criminals. They are responsible for all the evils that exist. Polluted air and water, the war, exorbitant taxes and rents, unsafe housing and cars, red devils mixed with strychnine (being sold on school grounds) and the harassment, kidnappings, im= prisonment, and murder of the people and attempts to exterminate the Black Panther leadership, are just a few examples of the crim- inal activities these fascists are guilty of, Malcolm X said that niggas are afraid to bleed. You bled for the oppressors in World War 1, in World War ll, and Korea: and you are now bleeding in Viet Nam, You allow your sons and brothers to be sent 5,000 miles away to some land to kill other people of color for this racist government. But when it comes to protecting your own Black community you haven't any blood, There isn’t time to search for excuses as to why you can't deal with the problem of a very serious level. So, the Black | Panther Party, along with other members of the community who are concerned about our youth make this statement; : Later for the local pig depart- ment, If anyone, anyone has in- formation about vultures hanging around schools selling their little pills, contact the Black Panther Party, 2859 Humboldt, Anyone caught giving or selling hard nare ‘or barbituates, namely reds and yellow ja‘ on or around 5 will be « with on the ; by the wrath of the people. ALL POWER TO THE PEC YOUTH MAKES THE TION! eee ie Why The Free Breakfast for Children is just one of the programs being carried out by the Black Panther Party that can bé attributed to Huey P_ Newton, Huey P, Newton, Organizer and Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party says that the Party must go forth to meet the basic desires and needs of the people, Huey says the mem- bers of the Party are oxen to be ridden by the people, How is the Party ridden by the people? Panthers working the breakfast program get out of bed at approximately 6:00 a.m, every school day, They set tables, clean facilities, cook and prepare the food, they direct traffic to see that the children cross the streets safely. After a day's breakfast has been completed, the Panthers attend to the constant task of procuring food from the merchants who do business in the community, to see that the program is con- stantly supplied with the neces- sary food. Why a Breakfast for Children Program? The answers to this question need be answered for only those who belong to the upper or so-called middle class. The majority of Black, Mexican- American, Orientals and poor Whites know from their American experience that it Is impossible to The Free Breakfast? obtain and sustain any education when one has to attend school hungry. Huey P, Newton knew that these conditions existed and that the American school system has not seen fit to alleviate them, Validity has been added to Huey’ s knowledge by the fact that the Free Break- fast program has spread like wild fire across the United States wherever Black Panther Chapters and Branches exist. The Free Breakfast for Chil- dren program Is a socialistic pro- gram, designed to serve the peo- ple. All institutions in a society should be designed to serve the masses, not just a‘'chosen few’. In America this prograrh is revo- lutionary, In capitalist America any program that is absolutelyfree is considered bad business. The Black Panther Party Is a van- guard organization and a vanguard organization educates by example, The Black Panther Party is educat- ing the people to the fact theyhave a right to the best that modern technology and human knowlege can produce. “The world telongs to all the people,’’ FOR TOO LONG OUR CHILDREN HAVE GONE HUNGRY Sacramento Breakfast Une of the greatest forms of oppression is hunger, Children must be fed and the Free Break- fast for School Children is another key to liberation by halting the staunch form of oppression-- hunger, One who looks Into the face of a hungry child knows that his need is immediate, One can delay an asking face with a cold heart, A child does not understand hunger surveys made by the government but can really relate to a full stomach every morning. The Black Panther Party fed over 20,000 children nationally last year and hopes to feed up to 100,000 this year. Here in Sacra- mento we hope to feed 2,000 or more children, The first ina series of breakfast programs will be held at the Oak Park United Church of Christ, 3308 4th Ave., begfnning Monday, September 22. We are again asking the people of Sacramento to donate the neces- sary food and materials that are needed to carry on a breakfast Program. Donations can be sent to 2941 35th St. or call 457-9991, Various attacks on the Party through terror, les and brutality cannot halt the attempts of the masses of people and the Black Panther Party to initiate programs like the Free Breakfast all across this nation, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Black PantherParty, Sacramento Branch Message From Heaven His Eminence’ James Cardinal Mc- Intyre, Chancery Office Los Angeles, California Your Eminence: As a professor at California State College, my profession brings me into contact with the leaders of the minority people of Los Angeles. There is constant ‘discussion in these circles of the enormous financial assets of the church in the Archdiocese of Los ps Ss, The level of awareness among the poor is at an all-time high. It is the awareness of exploitation that makes for a righteous rest- lessness. Once truly aware, the un- d potential of the poor to be- get change evolves, From what I have consistently tn the past six months, | fould expect that by the fall there be a strong campaign exposing s of the Church in the In the name of the submit the following program: That-the Archidocse of Los Angeles establish a million dollar hail fund for poor prisoners, In doing so, theArchdiocesecould identify with him who sald; » He has consecrated me to preach the good news to the poor, He has sent me to announce to the pri- soners their release, to set the down-trodden at liberty, Luke 4,19 It cries to heaven for vengeance that poor people must rot away in jail while the wealthy are free on bond, What is more, the amount of police punishment and harassment among the poor Is ten fold that of their more affluent neighbors, Po- lice punishment Is ten fold not because the poor are more evil or more Inclined to crime. It is ten fold in order to maintain them In thelr ‘place’ inspite of the glutted greed and super-abundance all a- round them, | offer this to youandto the Arch- diocese of Los Angeles not so much as a plea, but rather as an While an officially appointed Senate subcommittee was investi- gating bunger in San Francisco, while local medical facilities were compiling statistics on malnutri- tion and hunger, and while the EOC Was counting hungry families in in the Western Addition last spring, the Black Panther Party was feed- ing nearly 100 hungry children in the Sacred Heart Parish Halleach morning. The Black Panther Party's ini- tlated breakfast at Sacred Heart was one of four such centers operated by the Party in San Fran- cisco, serving nearly 300 children throughout the city daily, While the federal government investigated hunger and local government counted hunger, the Black Panther Party satisfied the hunger of small children who otherwise might have gone to school without breakfast and who perhaps would have had no lunch. Shortly after the Sacred Heart Breakfast Program was launched, the Public Swept into the Parish Hall where meals were being served to inspect the facilities and to insure com- pPliance with public health laws, Since the days of the San Fran- cisco fire and earthquake, lunches and dinners have been served in that hall to Irish and Italian Catholics in the community, Un- told gallons of spaghetti and pounds of corned beef have passed through that kitchen, onto the plates of Sacred Heart's parishoners and never before had the Public Health Department poked into the refri- gerator, checked the stove, or tested the heat of the dishwater, Suddenly, Panther breakfasts were a threat to health. And one might wonder whose health was endan- gered by scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, honey, grits, and hot chocolate -- the small children streaming im and out from 7 to 6:30 a.m. each morning, or the public official lost behind his desk somewhere, who knows that San Francisco city schools can and should be feeding youngsters in need of food. Public health laws somehow get stronger enforcement than federal and state laws empowering city schools systems to offer breakfast and lunch to children, They somehow merit more compliance than gambling legislation which would restrict church bingo games and lucrative raffles, Staffed by volunteers from the Party and from the community, the breakfast depended in large measure on financial support from interested people and organi- zations, and donations from local businesses, Approximately! Ovolun- teers arrived each morning at 6 a.m. to prepare breakfast and worked until 9:30 a.m., cooking, serving Supervising,and cleaning, During the months of its operation, breakfast was always served and the volunteer help was always there, Not quite so reliable was the flow of donations from business People.

Sincerely yours, Reverend Clement J, Connolly Secretary to the Cardinal Health Department, THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 1969 PAGE 7 AN OPEN LETTER members, Randy Williams and Lucky Jenkins, who directed the program, had to searchout sources of food to keep the breakfast going. Meat and produce companies with stores in the area had been asked for donations, These are businesses which make their for- tune on people who are trapped in theWesternAddition and who have nowhere else to shop, These same businesses would rather destroy in this community, not to investi- gate or to study or to survey, but to act, One of the most signifi- cant aspects of the breakfast pro- gram was its success in uniting young people in this area to solve the problems of thelr own com- munity, under their own direc- tion, This church chooses to re- main free to cooperate in that kind of effort, even when this means ‘freedom’ from the approval of REV, EUGENE J, BOYLE surplus food than contribute It to the breakfast program, The Black Panther Party*sini- tiated breakfast was a sincere and quite successful attempt to satis- fy a need of the entire community. Hunger knows no color and all children, White and Black, were served by the “program, Again, the Party proved that it Is not a racist organization, but in the vanguard, serving the needs and desires of the people, Hungry chil- dren indicate an obvious need of the people. The increased pressure place! on Sacred Heart Church by author- ities these last few months is the result of our involvement with the Panthers and the breakfast pro- gram, among other things. Despite the possibility of increased repres- sion and perhaps retaliation, those of us at Sacred Heart have no intention of withdrawing our sup- port from programs that genuinely serve the community, Nor can we in conscience remain silent about the failure of established author- ity to meet the needs of our peo- ple, or even to honestly listen and to admit the existence of those needs. Willingly we join with the Panthers and other organizations authorities, ‘‘freedom'' from accoptability by the establishment, freedom" from financial support. The Black Panther Party Is repeatedly the object of attack by those who demand a “law and order’’ society, who complain in the press about the lawlessness of the ghetto, and who plead for law enforcement, by physical force when this Is necessary. Perhaps this Is the time to point out that without funds or any of the support available to public agencies, the Panthers are obeying anolder law, one’ as ancient as Christianity, which urges compassionate manto feed the hungry and to open his ears, his resources, his heart, to the needy around him, It is time to point out that it is the Panthers who have small children, Black and White, sitting down to eat a meal together, In peace, It has been the Panthers with their breakfast operation who have found a way to direct the energies of young peo- ple to the service of their com- munity in organizing such an under- taking. All of this happened at Sacred Heart.

FROM THE BA Jamaica, Long Island raid Tonight (Tuesday night, Sept, 30th) New York pigs shot-up, gassed and bombarded, the home of members of the Jamaica, Long Island branch of the Black Pan- ther Party, Pigs came tothe Panther pad in Jamaica, Long Island, armed to the teeth and demanded to be let in, It is not known how many people were in the house at this time but it Is known that the bro- thers shouted out to the Fascist pigs, ‘Do you have a search war- rant?’ To this sensible and legal question the pigs replied ‘We don’t need one’’ and began tokick down the door, Current informa- tion Indicates that at least two FasCist pigs were shot in the battle that followed and at least two Panthers were arrested. Reports from the community indicate that the pigs came well equipped and carried themselves in the manner of a ‘‘Search and Destroy’ operation. The stan- dard equipment for tonights op- eration was bullet proof vests, 45 Caliber grease guns, M-79 grenade launchers, and the usual CS-tear gas, and shotguns, Due to the fact that New York's finest were so Ull-equipped for this daring venture they found it necessary to beat the two hand- cuffed Panthers (17-year old Stanley Pittiford and 17-year old Joseph Baskerville) with the butts of their weapons to make sure that the Panthers didn't attack the handcuffs with their teeth. One of the brothers was still uncon- scious when he was finally placed in a pig car and hauled away, Ambulances called to the scene were busy, but other than the wounded pigs, it is notknownwho was treated, At the end of August the Black Panther Party revealed a plan by the Berkeley Pig Department to conduct a ‘Search and Destroy Mission’’ on our National Head- quarters office, The plan was authentic and duly recognized as such by the Berkeley Pig De- partment, Pig departments a- Cross racist AmeriKKKa are fairly uniform in their attitudes towards minorities, the poor, and political dissenters; and Ber- keley like New York has a ‘‘mo- del Pig Department.’ Chicago, Philly, Los Angeles, New Haven, Denver, Seattle and many more, all have ‘Model Pig De- partments,’ This standard operating pro- cedure has been guided by the mis-named ‘Justice Depart- ment’' and is coordinated by a special ‘‘Panther Task Force,"' As the sissy J, Edgar Hoover has said Panthers are ‘“‘number one’’ on his list, so it’s not hard to understand the Panther-mania of local-yocal Fascistpigs, There exists more than enough proof of pig planned genocide against the Black Panther Party and against Black people, all that is required is the moral strength to investi- gate the situation for oneself, THE OAKLAND FIASCO This past month has witnessed some very strange events in the Fascist courts of the San Fran- cisco bay area, Warren Wells was convicted on charges of attempted murder after two trials that ended in 10-2 and Il-! for acquittal, War- ren was sentenced to five to life. In Alameda County Courthouse, Panther Charles Bursey was rail- roaded for five years to life on the Same charge that grew out of the same incident. (The April 6, Pig Attack that resulted in the death of Bobby Hutton, the wounding of Eldridge Cleaver, and the rail- roading of many Panthers.) These facts would Indicate that although Alameda County courts are short on justice, they are consistent, The inconsistency ts that two of Oakland's Rookie punk pigs, while in a drunken and psychotic state, shot-up our National office, which was in Oakland at that time.

The pigs said they had received a report that some young kids were break- ing Into a house, upon recelving the call the simple-minded pigs attacked the Bible home, breaking the door down with drawn guns in hand. When they were asked by Mrs, Biblenot to bodily break down the door, the lowly, so-called ser- vants of the people olnked they would blow the motherfucking door down. incident is small compared to the atrocities committed daily to Black people in particular and all oppressed people, regardless of race or origin, But it serves to point out clearly the blanket power the society has given to its fas- cist pigs and the complete lack of respect and justice that is held for the Black, the opppressed, and the powerless of America, But we do have power. We must realize that. Power les in the unity of all oppressed people, We must recog- nize fascism for what it Is, for it Is quite clear that fascism Is manifested in the avaricious MRS. BIBLE AND HER CHILDREN After successfully destroying the door, the beast entered and proceeded to beat the mother, Mrs. Bible with their clubs. Then they moved over to the living room sofa where Norma Jean Bible was laying down sick, and dragged the sister by her neck, pulling her out of the house. Norma Jean was then arrested for resisting arrést in her own home. Also three of her brothers were arrested for suspli- cion of burglary. The pleading of the mother for the safety of her family and home was ignored by the fascist pigs, as were the Bible family's basic right as human beings.

ALL POWER TO HE YOUTH INTERVIEW WITH THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE RNIA MEN'S COLONY — The sounds of mortar fire could be heard miles away at Camp San Luis Obispo Guard soldiers training for combat were Some unseen foe in the green coastal in ranges of Central California. P. Newton, co-founder and minister of of the Black Panther Party, black onary and a “resident” at the California Colony near San Luis Obispo, seemed lly oblivious to the nolsy war games, “colony” is a unit of the state prison . But its officials refuse to call it a prison or call its population “inmates” or ‘‘convicts.” _ When I had called to arrange the interview, a female volce at the other end asked: “Is this gard to one of our residents?" T laughed. She didn't. ». I sat in a small courtyard beneath the easant afternoon sun, listening to the prison’s — I should say colony's — most famous resident." This was the 27-year-old black man who had echoed Red China’s Mao Tse-tung In proclaiming: “Power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” _ It was Huey P. Newton who had also declared that; “The racist dog policemen must withdraw a mediately from our communities, cease their ‘wanton murder and brutality and torture of black opie, or face the wrath of the armed people.”’ And it is also, no doubt, Huey P. Newton who has in turn gained the wrath of policemen nore than any other living black man fn fact, his supporters say, that's why he ‘tangled with two Oakland patrolmen in October ‘1967 and came away with gunshot wounds in “his stomach. The shootout ended with one policeman uinded and the other dead. For his part, Huey now serving a 2to 5-year term for man- Slaughter. Prison does strange things to men. It hardens ‘and ages some and breaks the spirits of others. But Newton seems to have survived nearly two ‘years of imprisonment with his spirits intact, _ just as committed as ever to the alms of the Black Panther Party. Although he’s been confined to his tiny cell 21 hours a day since his arrival at the ‘colony’ last fall, although he claims he has been sub- jected to petty harassments, he has put on weight af and looks younger than he is. Le _ As a matter of fact, he’s rather pleasant “in both manner and appearance. [f Newton is one of the “bitter young black militants” that _ we hear so much about, this didn't come through during our discussion. st His words — often spiked with humor and were softly spoken and notably thoughtful. His responses seemed more intellectual-scholarly than emotional. Huey raps: “In order to have a truly mass movement With revolutionary causes, \t must have solidarity } among all ethnic groups. You have to understand that this is a class struggle, The ruling class i interested only in perpetuating itself al the expense of the poor people of the world.” _ He was explaining the coalition between the Panthers and white radical groups such as the Peace and Freedom Party. (Some black militants have been critical of the Panthers for this. Among them, Stokely Carmichael, who left the Movement to migrate to West Africa.) Newton's black militant opponents say the iggle is against white racism, Huey says this ‘45 only part of the larger problem of class, which As the result of capitalism. ’ in this country was used chiefly ee penity the slavery of black people,” Huey _ Newton believes that giant U.S, corporations That reap profit from the war in Vielnam are tvil. He claimed General Dynamics and Chrysler ime examples, asserting that Chrysler sold nks that wouldn't fire." ‘Under a socialist system, where the means bf production and distribution aren't privately Owned, wars would become unprofitable, he said. _ So in America would be different from Systems any place else. There are dif. aspects to socialism in each country. It d be different here than the systems in or Russia.” sees China as being more truly socialist What you have in Russia,” says Huey, “isn't Socialism.” He views the Tussian system } capitalism, where the state reaps the ‘that would go to corporations in a talis' society. “But you have to admit that accomplished 4 lot in just 51 yeurs.” © conversation shifts to American political ies, which Huey says “aren't political parties @ true sense of tie word. They don’t have eology. Political parties must have is the only place in the world where | be elected and not have to live up nises of his party, Uf what happens d in England, the whole government lé, because their parties functioa _ accompanied at times by a light laugh or smile’ on ideologies. “All of the candidates here say the same thing. You don’t have political parties, you have schematics of political parties They try to act aie political parties, but they aren't. They don’t r the people programs for change." Asked whether he believes black people should participate in electoral politics, Huey replied: “I believe that black people should continue to get involved in electoral politics; that they should register and vote in all elections — and even run for office. “I don’t think it’s going to do any good. But it will educate them. It will help to strip the veil away." He said that once “the veil’ has been stripped away, black people will be able {o see what's happening to them. What does he think of the prospect of Democratic Assemblyman Jesse Unruh and San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto running against Ronald Reagan for governor, He laughed and said he wouldn't back any of them, adding, “I believe Reagan will be reelected no matter who runs against him.” When the average person, conservative or liberal, black or white, thinks of Huey P. Newton, he thinks of those protest posters that picture Huey defermined-looking, decked out in a black beret and leather jacket, a sawed-off rot gun gripped firmly in his hands The man who chatted with me — a man with the nervous habit of tapping his right cheek with his right index finger at times while talking — showed very little resemblance to the images on those posters The natural hair-do was gone. His hair is now closely cropped in a style similar to the quo vadis popularized by neat, middle-class leaning black men before the natural came on the scene. During a tour of the institution later, I noticed that many of the young black “residents” wore their hair in naturals, although not grown too long. Of course, they aren't waging a protest as Huey is doing, a protest that has cost him all his privileges. ' Among the privileges not taken from him are those to write and receive mail and to have visitors. I had arrived at the prison shortly after the inmates had finished lunch. After spending about 20 minutes waiting for Huey to be brought out to the visiting facilities, I was finally told by the sergeant in charge: “Mr, Newton is here for your interview." I looked over the counter and beyond the sergeant and saw a rather unimposing looking young man watching us through the stecl-slatted windows that separated the visiting hall from our area. I had been listening to Associate Supt. R L. Russell come on about the merits of the in- Stitution, just as if he was its one-man Chamber of Commerce, Therefore, { hadn't seen Huey enter the visiting hall. Later Russell gave me a tour of the institution, a tour jasting more than an hour. I followed the sergeant around and was let in a door to the hall. Huey, smiling, stepped forward to greet me. We had a hearty handshake Newton asked whether I preferred to sit in the visiting hall or in the courtyard. “It doesn't matter,” I said. “Which ever you would rather do? But I suppose you would feel better outside. I guess you don't get out too much,” He laughed. “They keep me locked up most of the time, I think that would be best.’ He went and rapped on the window and asked the sergeant if it would be all right. The sergeant ‘came around and assured us that it was, I noticed that he and Huey seemed to go through this thing of being very, very polite to each other — too polite. It was almost like a game they played. Once, while we were taking a break to get some cigarettes and soft drinks, the sergeant entered and told Hucy that chicken dinners would be available for “residents” and their visitors — instead of the box lunches that had normally been sold. Huey listened intently, Uianked lim, and told him how great this would be “You ste that.” Huey said later, “He's just putting on a front because you're here, They don't normally talk to me. We very seldom curry on a conversation unless we lave to. Bul they re real nice when T have visitors * Farlier he had told me of tls treatment afer T had asked, rather dumbly. in an effort to get the conversation under way: “llow're they THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 1969 PAGE 13 — —_, “twealing you?’ (Actually my first question had 2 been: “How's it going’ And he replied: “O.K. 0 the second question he had resporded: “Not too bad. I'm locked up 21 hours a day They let me out of my house three times a day 7 to eat. You see, I'm protesting. I refuse to work. : “I'm protesting against the cheap wages they pay the inmates for working here. I’m tr that es get paid minimum wages for the they do.”” ; He said the inmates are paid six to'ren cents an hour for working In the various industries. Some do get 15 cents, he said. ‘It really amounts to slavery.” “They should turn it (prison industries) over to private enterprise and let the men earn respectable wages.” The institution operates a dry cleaning plant, jJaundry, auto repair shop and bakery among its industries. It does the laundry for Camarillo : State Hospital, This money could be paid lo -—* inmate laundry workers, Huey contends. 7 “They harass me some;"" Huey claime, "Nothing you can really put your finger on. Never anything big. Just a procession of minor harassments. But never anything that you can really point to as being harassment. “They do things like steal my hair cream, deodorant, toothpaste — a lot of little things. When I first come here they use to raid my house every time I'd leave. They would go through my things; I could tell." y He said he got in the habit of taking such items with him when he left his cell. He said the pressure eased after he mentioned it to some reporters, who included it in their stories. : “The way I noticed it was that one day I forgot and didn't take something with me, and when I returned to my house it was still there, I could tell that they had been in there trying to find something (contraband), but they hadn't bothered it. So I decided to test them. Each day I would leave something else, and when T returned it was still there." < We continued to laugh about the situation as he told it. “They do other little things. Like, I can't have books. They took all of my privileges. Until Garry (his attorney) got it straightened out, they — refused to allow me to have any books at all, Last week he fixed it so that I can now have books that relate to my case.” He hadn't started getting the books at the time of the interview. He is allowed to subscribe e . to a newspaper, but not to listen to radio, Other ’ inmates keep him informed on radio and television news broadcasts. That's how he learned - of Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale being _— arrested. The next morning, an inmate broke a the news to him, . He said other black inmates are warned to “stay away from me because I'm a Communist and racist. If a guy is caught talking to me they get on him, They've even accused me of having bodyguards here — of forming Black Panthers here." Again he laughs. The subject moves to the Panthers and the killings of Panthers in Los Angeles and San Diego. A black cultural nationalist group called _ US, organized in Watts and headed by Ron : Karenga, is accused of the killings. Recently three US members were convicted in the L.A. deaths of two Panther leaders, and were sen- tenced to life in prison, Last month a Panther was gunned down as he sold the party's newspaper on a San Diego street. “Ron Karenga and his organization see their” existence belng threatened by the Panther. Before the Panther came on the scene, Karenga was real big around Watts and the Los Angeles area — had everything uptight. He was suppose to be able to keep the lid on. “Karenga was paid $50,000 to keep Watts quiet when King was killed. They've had access to ull kinds of federal funds, receiving antipoverty money and so forth. “Everyone looked up to them, Then, the Panther came on the scene and the community started digging what he (the Panther) was doing. Karenga's organization was dying out — it’s almost dead, They're fighting to keep alive.” p His voice dropped a pitch and a distant look came into his eyes, the same look that was to 4 appear when he told me that Bobby Hutton was => the first Panther to be killed. (Hutton was shot by Oakland police Jast year.) ‘Every chance they get they kill a Panther,” Karenga's aim js the same as that of police natonally, to destroy the Panthers or drive them ~ underground, Newton claims, Wil the Panthers go underground? 4 “Right now, I can’t foresee us going un- — derground, And if we were forced to, it’s too a late 10 make us ineffective, You see, if a group * is forced underground when it’s first starting out — before it geis to be known to the people — and gets their support — then it will die ~ off, because no one has ever beard of it, enough about what it’s doing, We're known for it to really mater if. derground.

I spent 33 years and 4 months In active military ser- vice as a member of our coun- try’s most agile military force-- the Marine Corps, | served in all commissioned ranks froma Second Licutenant to Major-General, And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers, In short, | was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I suspected I was just a part of a racket at the time, Now I am sure of it.

The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the inter- national banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-12, I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar Interest In 1916. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that the Standard Ol] went its way unmolested. During those years, I had, as the boys In the back room would say, a swell racket.

As a result of his organizing, Brother Brown came in for the usual military harassment, L.e,, S--t details, constant surveilance, etc,, this all culminated on the ith, when brother Brown was made the recipient of racial ‘‘oinks’’ from a white NCO. Brother Brown countered this offense with an offer to kick the s--t out of this pig. For this he was taken to the office of the pig, in charge of SPD, Capt. Hunter, While brother Brown was waiting to see Capt, Hunter, the pig came out of his office and gave him the keys to his car asking, ‘‘Do me a favor and look in my car and bring me my check book,’ Brother Brown was gone about 4 minutes, he returned and told Capt, Hunter that he did not see any check book, Hunter then said, ‘of course, it isn't there, because you Stole it, boy!"' Private Brown then made a sug- gestion as to where Capt. Hunter could put his check book and the entire pig army. As a result of the suggestion Pvt, Brown was re- moved first to a cage in SPD and then to the post stockade on Charges of being disrespectful to an officer, An hour later brother Carlos Forbes, the only witness of the events proceeding Pvt.

BLACK LIBERATION PARTY Port Dix, New Jersey THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE - OR SARCASTIC PIGS? THE GREAT COFFEE HOUSE CONSPIRACY News from FTA Box 336 Louisville, Ky. 40201 MULDRAUGH, Ky. --- A major battle is developing in this Little Kentucky town between local of- ficials and anti-war soldiers from nearby Ft, Knox, who want to open a coffeehouse. Staff and G.L's of the cofféee- house charge that the local of- focials are acting in collusion with Army officials. Army spokes- men have said nothing publicly, except to make a brief statement denying the charge. Meantime, local police tried to close the coffeehouse although it had not yet offically opened for business, saying it did not have the proper permits tooperate, The owner of the building sought an eviction order from a local court, and the Muldraugh City Council passed a new ordinance on Sep- tember 2 requiring a ‘‘thorough investigation'' by the Police De- partment of any person applying to open a business. This the staff and GI's see as a blatant attempt to prevent their opening. A hearing on the eviction pro- ceeding is set for September 24 in Meade County Quarterly Court in Brandenburg, Ky, The landlord who owns the building where the coffeehouse is located, a former meat market on the main street of Muldraugh, claims the rent has not been paid, Coffeehouse spon- sors state they have offered pay- ment both in person and by certi- fied matl. Coffeehouse staff also say they are preparing a Federal Court suit charging the ‘‘generals and local officials’' with conspiracy to deny civil rights to G.l's, They say that in addition to closing the coffeehouse local police have ‘threatened to force their way Into the building through a private en- trance, even over the objection of the people who live upstairs.,.and have taken names of people in- side."’ Local officials have also, the staff claims, used every means to delay the issuance of permits, A statement written by an anon- ymous GI, and Issued through FTA, an underground paper, says G.\.'s ralsed the money for the coffeehouse, ‘found a place, and fixed {t up’’, Some of them traveled around the 'country to recruit civilian staf, These developments at Ft, Knox are part of a growing anti-war movement among G.I.'s acrossthe country. Underground papers have sprung up om many Army bases, and coffeehouses similar tothe one in Muldraugh are now operating in seven other locations, Two of them are in the South--in Killeen, Tex., and Columbia, S.C, The movement at Ft. Knox Started in early 1968, when some G.1."s began to publish their under- ground paper, FTA. The soldiers say this stands for Fun, Travel & Adventure. The paper started with a press run of 1500; it is pub- lished approximately monthly and now has a distribution of over 5,000, The anonymous G.I, statement explained the beginning of the movement this way: ‘‘G.I’s got together at Ft. Knox to do some- thing about the way they were treated, their lack of rights and about the war they were being forced to fight, They decided to build a G.I. movement that would begin to fight for their rights, for respect, and an end to the war,’ As support for FTA grew among the soldiers, the statement said, harassment grew also, “The Army, uptight about G.L's getting together, tried to crush the paper,’ the statement wenton. “They tried to find out who the leaders were and ship them out, They tried to stop distribution using local police in Louisville and they threatened guys who had the paper on base, But G.1's fought back and the paper kept going."’ The coffeehouse, the statement said, is designed toprovidea place where G.L.'s can gather and talk freely---something they say they can't do on the base Referring to the current dif- ficulties, the statement concluded: “The G.1’s are used to fighting and they are not about to stop now,..The G.I.'s see that their only real power Is in their numbers so they continue right on building their movement,’’ FREE | U.S.A.F. vs We the Black people on Goose AB Labrador have embarked upon a movement to erase racial pre- judice in the military, Allattempts made to change the situation within the military, have been useless, because our grievances inour eyes are based at the power structure of the military. The people we have confronted with our grievan- ces are the power structure. We the Black people onthis base have been subjected to racial pre- judice through the following means A. EDUCATION 1. Black education is not sup- plied and when an inquiry was made to get Black courses on this base, we were informed of the fact that we would have to finance the whole ordeal l.e.; (pay the teacher, buy the books, and get final approval from Higher Headquarters), The White curriculum itis supplied without the financial backings of the participants except tuition. 2, The base library has a very limited supply of Black literature on hand, 3. The base PX needs a variety of Black magazines and Black cosmetics. B, ENTERTAINMENT l. Black people are limited on this base as far as entertainment is concerned for there are no Black cultural programs on the television, 2. The radio station plays a very very limited amount of Black music, 3. The N.C.O, Club which has a substantial amount of Black members, has only received three Black bands in the last fifteen months 4. The very few Black Of- flcers on base are subjected to the same type atmosphere tn their club, Tat Genocie LNCONSISTANT Black Gls 5, The Airman which range from 21 years up are not allowed to drink alcohol of any type but the Airmen are allowed to drink 3.2% beer, 6. Moderate Afro hair styles are not allowed on this Instal- lation. 7 There are absolutely no Black women on this base, White women for white G.IL's only, and if one race of peoples’ women are here why not the other? We all are supposed to be Americans, Cc RACIAL INJUSTICES 1. Blacks were persecuted for the following incidents. a, When any disorders occur between Blacks and Whites, the Blacks are labeled wrong from the very start and therefore are not asked about their opinions on the disorders. b. Blacks have been subject to maximum penalties on charges whereas Whites have received lesser on the similar charges, c. During an all Black picnic, we were constantly watched by the OSI, Base Commander, andthe Alr Police, d, During a personal inter- view with the Base Commander, while discussing Black peoples’ “‘Afro’’ type hair styles, he (the Base Commander referred to the Afro hair styles as looking like the fur of neatly trimmed sheep or French Poodles. These are only a few of the many injustices that occur on Goose AB in which the Black man faces each day, If there is anyway we can obtain your support, in our quest for the ‘Right of Freedom as Black Americans,’ it would surely be welcomed by the Black men on this base.

The fact that Américo Thomaz was able to make only a very hurried visit to some cities, travelling by airplane, and on the other hand the departure of the governor who was in Guinea, should be a source of embarrassment to them. It’s true that the governor had completed his term of office. But — what general who is winning the war is going to leave, even when he has completed his term of office? When a general who is waging a war leaves after completing his term of office, it is because he is defeated. The past year was really one filled with victories, although I don't want to say that we haven't suffered reverses; that is normal in any war. We attacked all the urban centers in our land, except Bissau — if we don’t count the attack on the airport. Important centers such as Bafata, Gabi, Farim, Mansoa, Cansumbé, and lama were at- tacked several] times; we captured a certain number of prisoners; there were various deserters; and we destroyed a greater number of Portuguese boats than ever before. The balance of our operations, from the 16th of April to the 15th of November of last year, is the fol- lowing: 251 attacks on Portuguese fortresses, 2 attacks on aerodromes, 2 attacks on ports, 94 vehicles de- stroyed, 30 ships sunk, 4 planes downed, etc., and an estimate of at least 900 enemy dead and 12 captured. It was a year of triumph (although 1967 had been a magnifi- cent year for us) in the political, administrative, social, and cultural realm and in that our armed forces made extraordinary efforts, to the extreme that the Portuguese were forced to evacuate some of their fortified posts. They had to evacu- ate Beli, in the east; Cacocoa and Sanchonhaé, two very important encampments near the southern border; in addition to nine encamp- ments in the south and the éast of the country. The fight has reached a new stage of development and we are already capable of taking the Portuguese encampments. But we are not hurried, we move very calmly. We have to be very careful, we have to fight according to our con- ditions, advancing with caution. Proof of the correctness of our tac- - June 1969 General PAIGC tics is that we can already take the Portuguese encampments and force them to leave their fortified posts. This, more than just a mili- tary defeat, is a moral defeat of the first order. It explains the torrent of Secretary-General PAIGC Amilcary Cabral words from the radio to justify the abandoning of their fortifications! This ‘is the Portuguese situation: we are forcing them to withdraw. It seems to us that right now it is very important to further con- centrate our action in the urban centers, to create a great insecurity. Without a doubt we are going tokig this. We know that the Portugu plan to use gas against us; but that’s going to be very difficult. We are prepared to confront every situa- tion. What is important is that we are prepared to make any sacrifice, to put forth every effort necessary to free ourselves. We hope that within the general line followed until now, and above all after the Khartoum Conference, the anti-imperialist forces which are effectively disposed to doing so will help us more seriously. It is preferable to have no help than to have it and then have it diminish or cease to exist. Because if we have a determined aid, we can create, thanks to that, a new situation; but if it is lacking, we'll come out badl: politically, and, many times, mill. y." We want to reaffirm to all the anti-imperialist forces of the world, in particular to those who are fight- ing in Latin America, Asia, or Afri- ca, that nothing will stop us and we will carry the fight forward with more vigor every day.

SOUTH KOREAN PIGS BATTLE PATRIOTIC STUDENTS 7 WAR IN KOREA AGAIN? ls By Wilfred Burchett onde Pyongyang, North Korea South Korean students are waging a bitter struggle against Park , Chung Hee's attempt to insure himself a third term as dictator. president, During a farcical assembly debate to amend the constitution, which bans third terms, there were daily fierce clashes between c Students and police in Seoul, Taegu, Pusan and other cities. All ts higher educational institutions in the South are closed down, according to reports reaching here, while students behind plank J and sand bag barricades battle police, ; Students and South Koreans generally are especially incensed that at the moment when: the Japanese people are intensifying their struggle to get the U.S. to quit Okinawa, dictator Park is pressuring both Japan and the U.S. to allow continuation of the American occupation of Okinawa. And regardless of the latter’s future status, he has offered use of Korea's Cheju Island, off the southern coast, for a U.S. base with nuclear installations, » Park, who had a particularly bloodthirsty career serving the Japanese Imperial army in Manchuria—mainly trying to suppress Korean anti-Japanese partisans—is now virtually on his knees demanding an indefinite U.S. occupation of South Korea. Responsible Koreans who I encountered during the first week of a visit to the DPRK, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, warn that recent huge U.S, arms shipments pouring into the ‘South and the equipping of a 2 million-man “homeland defense corps” have been accompanied by provocations ftom the South, which are increasing tova point where a war could break out at any moment, War could have started already if Northern forces ‘had not shown restraint in dealing with incidents in and around the demilitarized zone, In recent months, the Seoul regime has also stepped up training exercises in coastal landings and mountain fighting under condi- tions similar to the North's beaches and rugged mountains. Park's Statement, published in the Aug. 25 U.S. News & World Report, that there are “limits to restraint’ and that “another war more terrible than the last"’ may be triggered, was regarded here as a _ Serious indication of his real intentions. One view here is that Park is multiplying provocations to tempt a response from the North. Park would then cry “‘aggression"’ and invoke secret clauses of Japanese-South Korean agreements to bring Japanese troops back into South Korea on the pretext that _ Japanese security is also endangered. To make the idea more presentable to the Japanese public, they would be told that large Japanese investments in South Korea are endangered, With U.S. encouragement, Park has opened South Korea’s doors widely to Japanese capital and there are now hundreds of Japanese corporations, monopolies and banks active in the South. The flow to Japan of South Korean raw materials and other _ goods produced under slave labor conditions is reaching the volume of the heyday of the Japanese occupation, As a faithful servant of the Japanese for the greater part of his career, Park has no inhibitions against offering South Korea to Japanese monopo- lies for a start, with a future perspective of a takeover of the ficher North and its highly developed industries and raw material reserves, If Japanese troops entered Korea and assumed the puppet _army’s repressive police duties in the South, more ROK divisions would be released for service in South Vietnam, This would suit Nixon's concept of “Asianizing™ the war and Park because the US. aid he receives is proportional to the number of mercenaries ‘serving in South Vietnam, It is strongly suspected here that some such deal has been worked out in secret U,S.-Japanese-South — One apsigaiaaee Washington would favor an arrangement ‘tike that is growing opposition tr the use of the uN flag as a cover for the U.S. Visitors to the North from third world are always appalled to see the UN flag flying over U.S. tions at Panmunjom.

Raul Roa, Cuban Foreign Minister, paid a special visit to Mexico City on September 8th to press spy charges against Humberto Carillo Colon for sending and receiving coded broadcasts to and from CIA centers In Florida and Nassau.

The date is the first anniversary of the massacre of students at the Tlatelolco Housing Project off the Plaza of the Three Cultures during last year’s Olympics, They are demand "'freedom for all political prisoners’’ and an “end to the unrestrained re- pression by the police and army against students and the people in general,” The students are simultaneously attacking a governmental trial against the more than 200srudents and teachers who have been im- prisoned and charged with re- bellion, conspiracy, robbery, tumultuous homicide and gathering of arms in connection with the 1968 conflict, KOREA With American Imperialism's obvious defeat in Vietnam becom- ing increasingly obvious, and the has been on the increase since the Police Action’’ officially ended, in what AmeriKKKan historians glaring weaknesses inherent in the "Great Society's’? war economy looming on the same horizon, an older loss comes to mind - Korea, The Vietnamese fiasco has been used to hide the facts from the American public about the current situation in Korea and except for one-sided coverage of some of America’s monumental intelli- gence boo-boos the western press has been dutifully silent.

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 1969 PAGE 18 of October 1966 Black Panther Party Platform and Program What We Want What We Believe Minister of Defense. Black Panther Party 1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community, We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to deter- mine our destiny. 2. 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 em- ploy all of its people and give a high standard of living 4. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was pramised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand that we make 4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings. We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives.so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society. We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl- edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else 6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the mili- tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us, We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people. We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing 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 and 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 by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution 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, en- vironmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and naturg’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru- dence, indeed, will dictate that govern: yents long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and unsurpations, pur- suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism, it is their right, itis their duty, to throw off such govern- ment, and to provide new guards for their future security. eet SUBSCRIPTION FORM @ ag Support Your Newspaper-- subscribe Today! nscription {c heck box) Notional Foreign seirer Ory subscription for (check box) Subscriptions Subscriptions 3 MONTHS: (13 ISSUF'S)...... ...0 $2.50 © $3.00 6 MONTHS; (26 ISSUES)... .. 0) $5.00 L] $6.00 ONE YEAR: (52 ISSUFS) bore ) $7.50 ) $9.00 {please print) NAME ADDRESS CiTy STATE/ZIP @ COUNTRY PLEASE MAIL CHECK MINISTRY OF INFORMATION, BLACK PANTHER PARTY, OR MONEY ORDER TO “Box 2967, Custom House, San Francisco, CA 94126 BLACK COMMUNITY NEWS SERVICE PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE AL STAFF ea OF THE THE BLACK PANTHER BLACK PANTHER PARTY Political Prisoner Minister of Defense HUEY NEWTON Minister of Defeme HUEY P_ NEWTON Cheirmen BOBBY SEALE Cheirman BOBBY SEALE Editor Minister of Information ELDRIDGE CLEAVER Minister of Information ELDRIDGE CLEAVER Chief of Stoff DAVID HILUARD Manoging Editor Deputy Minister of Information BIG MAN Field Morshols UNDERGROUND tionary Artist eat lay-out se Minister of Education Minister of Culture Ray ‘Masai’ Hewitr EMORY DOUGLAS Minister of Finance Production Manoger JOHN SEALE Minister of Foreign Affoirs Minister of Justice Co-Editors Prime Minister Communications Secretary symone KATHLEEN CLEAVER ANDREW AUSTIN Minister of Culture Srecvenes EMORY DOUGLAS SAM NAPIER The editorial and production cost of THE BLACK PANTHER News- paper have increased considerably.
