THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1970 PAGE.2
The Victors Prove The L.A. Judicial System
a
To Be A Lie, Farce and Mockery Of Justice
During the course of the pre-
imihary hearing of the LA
Panthers In the fascist kangaroo
2ourt of Judge Harvey Brown, the
most rediculous and outlandish
fisplay of Injuatice have occurred
yutside of Hoffman's court tn
~hicago.
On Tuesday, January 13, sev-
tral clear examples of this wore
made;
1) Tommye Williams’ attorney,
Sliver, demanded that he be given
iny statements the DA had attained
in order to cross-examine the so-
called witnesses, al! of whom are
Sigs, He added that he had asked
the DA for these statements time
and again and had received no
reply, Attorney Branton added to
that demand by saying that by law
these documents were supposed to
be furnished to the defense,
‘Harvey Hitler’’ sald that he
wasn't going to tell the DA how
to run his office and that was that.
2) Then the main event--
succession of pigs began filing In,
so-called witnesses to support the
big DA, Steven Trou, claimed
that the Panthers tave always acted
‘violently’’ towards the pigs.
There was a pig, Deretn, who

On Tuesday, January 6th, ap-
proximately 500 people gathered
in front of the Hallof “In-Justice"
in downtown Los Angeles to show
their support for the 19 Punthors
who were going to preliminary
hearings, The people (moat Black)
were enthustastical in showing
their support of the brave and
courageous menand womet--Pan-
thers--who had survived the vic-
jous gestapo attack on last Decein-
ber 8th. They ahouted and
screamed to thet Panthers, ‘All
Power to the People--Fren All
Political Prisonera’’, and they
were heard in the 7th floor court-
room.
The variety of speakers showed
to anyone who had eyes that the
masses of people--Biack, White,
and Brown--were clear on who
the {riends of the people are and
who their enemies are, The peo-
ple understood and made It clear
that the Black Panther Party +
in fact the vanguard of the strug-
gle for liberation of Black people
in particular and all oppressed
people in general, The speakers
included the Black Panther Party

HEALTH
The concern of active LA, med-
ical groups continues long after
the unwarranted raids by the LAPD
on the offices of the Black Panther
Party on December 8, 1969,
Arrested Panthers have been vic-
tims of medical abuse which has
endangered their health and denied
their basic rights to receive med-
ical treatment, These practices are
by no means reserved solely for
members of the Slack Panther
Party, although the treatment they
receive is often much more severe
than that reserved for other pri-
soners,
There {is increasing evidence that
an investigation is needed in order
to insure that all prisoners re-
ceive prompt and adequate med-
ical treatment, This ta thelr right
and not a privilege which must
be carned,
The denial of bealth
prisoners has been practiced it

the two Panthers at the doorway
of the community center with a

fool bow he remembered exactly
who this person had been he said
that firat because he had a
photostatic memory when his life
was indanger and secondly because
he remembered that man to bea
‘*negra’’ with @ short haircut and

had allegedly been assaulted with
a deadly weapon by two of the
difendants when he had entered

claimed that even though he was
not in uniform, he did identify
himself as a pollew officer and

toward the establishment of a po-

2. Edgar Hoover had nothing to
say about the now obvious menace
of raciam to the secruity of the
nation and the furtherance of world
peace, He has nothing to say as
to the criminality of police bru-
tality and the duotal of the rights
of minorities,
The past decude has produced
numeroun reports from official
and private sourtes treating the
scope and danger of police tru-
tality and raciam, For oxample,
the Kerner Report of the Johnson
era declared that
‘'—t ts time now to turn with all
the purpose at our command to

of the nation, It in time to adopt
stategies for action that will pro-
duce quick and visible progress,

Major unfinished business of the

for the report recognized that the
preachment and practice of raciam
has created ‘two socleties,,.sep-
arate amd unequul,"’ The time to
turn to the ‘unfinished business
of the nation’ that is the establish-
mont of full and complete equality
of rights and opportunities for
Black citizenry was when the Ad-
ministration, Legislature and Ju-
dictary conspired to deprive
Blacks of what they had paid for
with their blood in the Civil War.
it was then that the "promises
of American democracy’ became
matters of political expediency.
Obviously, tt Ls past time to adopt
strategies for action."’
‘Strategies for action'’ have no
weight, They were outlined in the
Wickersham Commission report in
1931, the ‘to Secure These Hights"*
report of the Truman administra.

crimes that threaten the security

New Mobilization Committee To End The War In Vietnam
New Mobilization Statement On Repression:
Released January 9, 1970 Ambassador Hotel, Washington D.C.
This policy of genocidal repres-
aton is particularly clear in the
case of the Black Panther Party
Recently planned and coordinated
raids and Killings of Gluck
Panthers have occurred in major
cities, Though the notortoun police
murder of Fred Hampton and Mark
Clark tn Chicago has been widely
reported as (Uke Songmy) an ts-
Olated incident, the fact is that
such attacks, Occurring in many
locations, have killed over 20 Pan-
thers
On Novumber 15 in the course
of his speech to the San Francisco
rally of the New Mobilization Com-
mitto’ to End the War In Vietnam,
David Millard, Chief of Staff af
the Diack Panther Party, said:
fichard Nixon te an evil man,
Thia te the motherfucker that
unleashed the counter-insur-
qeot teame upon the Dluck Pan-
ther Party. Tile is the man
that's responsible for all the
attacks upoo the Black Panther

man that sends hie vicious,
murderous dogs out into the
Mack community and Invades

we have for hungry kids and
expect us to accept shit ike

fucking man, we will kill
Michard Nixon, we will kill any
motherfucker that stands (1 the
way of our freedom. We ain't
here for he goddamn poace,
because we know that we can't
have no peace because this
country was bullt on war, And
if you want peace you got to
fight for tt,
On December 3, Mr, tillllard was
arrested, taving been charged
with making In his November 15
speech “certain threats to take
the iife of and to inflict bodily
harm upon the president of the
United States, Richard Nixon,"
The New Mobilization Committee
denounces the Unites States goyv-
ernment for this action. The rally
at which Mr, Uilliard spoke was
& political gathering with some
350,000 people present. He spoke
in the language of the streets. In
charging and prosecuting Mr, Hil-
llard the government ts directly
violating tis Firat Amendment
rights under the United States con-
stitution, We demand that these
charges be tinmediately revoked
We call upon rusponsitie Ameri-
cans everywhere to join us in this
demand, The New Mobilization is
also ready to call for country-
wide demonstrations in support of
tho Panther’s plans to deliver to
the United Nations petitions aguinat

At the same tiine we call upon
Americans to support David HIll-
lard in the essential truth he
speaks, Richard Nixon ta an evil

being head of @ government that
is respouaible for a calculated
program of genocide and war

From every state of the Union
comes the cry for posce. From
abroad, the cry is ‘Yankee, Go

fascinate and meamerize the White
masses, particularly thoxe tn the
ranks of labor, with the myths of
White superiority, and to create
& core of Ideological prostitutes

lca-way-of-ilfe.”” Neality demands
unity of the masses regardiess of

fon who suffer from the explot-
tative, oppressive and politically
restrictive power of a common
foe
The Hoover report isan ideological
weapon of the most reactionary
forces in politics and the economy
of our country, It has nothing tn
common with Internal security, it
seeks the Isolation and political
omasculation of those most vocal
and physically most active in the
fight to preserve national security
through enforcement of the con-
stitutional rights of all. Such a
report becomes al once an in-
citemett to racist crimes, 4 clear
and present danger to the security
of the nation, Inatead of providing
a guide to the punishment of those
who have made of the ‘promises
of American Democracy” and our
commitments under the Charter

Lie that:

In most plants, workers may

one has to keep busy wiping and

Oukland, California, transformer
plant summed it up: he sald working
for GE is ike being inside San
Quentin, oxcept they let you out
at night,
GE has a peculiar idea of ‘‘pro-
creas’ in its products. In 1031
the company spent millions to rake
& lightbulb that would burn out
twice aus fast, This year GE an-
nounced tt had stopped working
ON. 8 smog-free electric automo-
Oile. The management claimed is
cost was prohibitive, yet expemdil-
tures for research and develop-
ment (R&D) of an lectric car
wore a small fraction of the hun-
dreds of millions of dollars spent
on research for military projects,
Duritg the last week of Septem-
ber of this year, GE received
more money on HAD contracts for
an Intercontinental Ballistic Mis-
ale re-entry systom (the Mark 12)
than the total (4D expenses for
the electric car, Hemember that
GE's nineteen directors alec tun
five ot] companies and Chrysler
Auto, an electric car would be bad
for their business, Now OE has
the key patents for the electric
car and can keep anyone else from
building one for 17 years, That's
progress, GE style,
Genoral Electric markets pro-
ducts that make the world a worse
place to inhabit In November,
1906, it cut costs in color TV
production; now all their sets emit
ponsibly sterilizing radiation side-
ways and downward, But this seems
minor compared with GE's future
plans, General Electric has the
contract for the Supersonic Trans-
port (SST), the giant jet that will
send out & continuous shock wave
which will not only break win-
dows and eardrums bot will also
disrupt the reproductive patterns
of wildlife. And its exhaust fumes
will form a permanent layer of
stnodg at 30,000 feet that may alter
world weather patterns and deprive
all plant Ufe on the ground of the
sunshine needed to floulsh and
arow,
General Electric's idea of pro-
greas is to force more to work
harder on worse products to sell
at higher pricen.
The strike against GE is only the
beginning, There are other GE's,
and together they make up a sys-
tem, We must defeat that whole
monopoly system inorderto really
defeat the kes of GE.

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 00 PAGE 4
Chicago has been completely
changed by the assasainations.
Thousands of people have viewed
the sasansination place, and on
national T.V It has been proven
that the pigs attacked Pred and
Mark, The establistment is seck-
ing to put together its own Inves-
ligating committer to supposedly
investigate the incidents between
the police and the Panthers over
the past months,
We know that this investigation
will simply be an attempt to white
wash and alap the hands of the
police department, The head of
investigation, Jarris Leonard
(bead of civil rights division of
the Justice Dept.) has stated to
an ACLU lawyer thatthe Panthers
are hoodlums. We've got to get
rid of them’, when he was asked
about why Bobby Seale wan being
persistently persecuted for making
& speech In Chicago at the time
of the Democratic Convention,
50 we know that the struggle
has moved to a higher level as
far as Black people and the Black
Panther Party ts concerned, that
the people are getting much cloner
to the Black Panther Party and
acting as one with the Party
At the same time the govern-
ment is moving in an attempt to
give the illusion that the Justice
Department that part of the pig
force, part of tt covernment, has
No pay, has no relationship to any
Of the actions of other parts of
the pl¢ department, This Justice
Charles Bursay, Landon and Hory
and many, nore beautiful warriors
of the people,
All these dedicated survants of
the twople are belog ripped off
and the people in most parts of
the country are ready to stand up
and fight for what ly theirs, The
Black Panther Party ts the peoples —
_¥angnard, but in NY, niggers are
earing
still finger popplag and wi
bine shop knits and pator boots, -
or getling hang np in wilting for
some spirit to atiower their pray-
ers, There ate only a few wor
bean give you: ‘
_ In Nigger Town: one day |
Four Wie children koeeled to

Four Utthe children gone
And Jesus NEVER came-
TEACHING BY SETTING
CORRECT EXAMPLES
Department investigation ts anex-
ample: an atlempt to give the tl.
luaton that the federal governmont
le being objective and is divorced
frat the represaton that the Pan-
thera are facing when the facts
are that Nixon has ordered the ex-
termination of the Black Panther
Party under the direction of J
Edgar Hoover, (FBI)
In Los Angeles when the Metro
squad attacked the Black Panther
Party headquarters with M-I4sand
M-16s, standard equipment for
Vietnam, their fire was directed
by FBI agents, So Los Angeles
in essence was an FHI action, In
spite of this, 1] people in one
office held off over 300 pigs for
five hours th an amazing gun bat-
tle and were able to negotiate with
the pigs when thelr amounition
was low, to bring In the fews
media so they would not be ex-
ecuted when they hadto surrender,
So,once again, the Black Panther
Party has shown the people the
correct methods of struggle, the
correct methods of resistance,
When eleven brave revolutionaries
can hold off 300 pigs for five hours
with a Limited supply of ammunt-
tlon- what cam an éntire Black
communtty do in defending itself
against the oppression of the pig
force

Perialist aggressors in South
Kores and the arti-popular reac-
tionary rule of the Pak Jung Hi
puppet clique, thelr alooge,
Allow me, first of all, to ex-
tend, on behalf of the comrade
journalists present here, warm
congratulations and fervent greet-
ings to Messrs, Yu Byong Ha and
Choe Sok Man who have done such
patriatic deeds,
Present at thispress conference
todsy are many reporters of var-
fous press organs including the
Korean Central News Agency, The
Korean Central Broadcasting Com-
mittee, Hodong Sinmun, Minju
Choson and Pyongyang Sinmun.
We hope you tell us many food
words at this significant meeting
of kindred who had been separated
from each other for a long time,
Have you anything to say first
moesars, Airmen?
Yu Byong Ha; Allow me to say
first a few words of greetings,
Present here now our hearts
are overflowing with infinite ¢mo-
tion and joy. It is common to all
to 6grope for light In darkness,
I belleve
Sitting here with you, having
come over resolutely to the north
as we had decided to seek Light,
we feel unbounded happiness,
infinite pride and boundless glory
_ of having been embraced at Jast
in our genuine fatherland, in the
warm bosom of our groat Premier
Kim i) Sung, and we find it hard
to repress our surging joy over
your warm hospitality,
Choe Sok Man: | fully share the
sentiments just told by Mr. Yu
Byong Ha. Moreover from the
very moment I set foot tn the
northern half, I felt with e surge
of warmth in my heart the tp-
finite pride of having teen born
a Korean and felt afreat immense
pride of our having such wonder-
fu) fatherland, when we witnessed
with our own eyes the dazzling rea-
lity of the Iiteral reniaking of
the world carried out under the
sugacious feadership of Premier

ways adored,

A reporter of Rodong Sinmun
We are also infinitely happy to
sit hore with you messrs,
Not only we but the entire peo-
ple of the northern half sincerely
and warmly congratulate you on
your patriotic coming to the north
We should be much obliged if you
could tell us, to begin with, the
motive of your coming to the north
Choe Sok Man: The motive of
our coming to the north is, tn
a word, that we could not dis-
card the national conscience of
the Koreans and that we could no
longer tolerate the trugic reality of
South Korean society which has
been turned into a colony of the
American Villains, In South
Korein soctety we once served in
the army and lived an civillans at
another time
Everything striking our eyes
evoked irrepressible national
wrath in us who had received a
certain dogree of higher education
and tried to judge things some-
what fairly. The land is Korwa,
but it is the American rascals
who lord it Over there, and such
despicable human rubtisth as Pak
Jung Hi serve the Yankees as thelr
dogs
These days even Japs are being
ushered in there and Koreans are
hot treated as humat-beings, the
American and Japanese rascals
having the field to themselves
everywhere in South Korean so-
clety. The Amorican rascals say
they ‘‘ald"’ South Koreas, but, In
fact, it ts noné other than the
American rascals who hold ali
real power in South Korea
How can a man of national con-
acience soo without a fire of fury
in tis eyes the South Koreans un-
Gergoing maltreatment and hunger
and suffering from non-rights
under the colonial rule of the
American rascals?
We became conscious that we
could never live any longer the
way we did in that corrupt South
Korean soclety
So we decided to come to the
Northern half of the Republic where
Premier Kim 1] Sung administers
the affairs of the state, the land
we had always looked up to as
the beacon of hope,
ft felt fresh strength in my hand
holding the control stick when [|
veered to the North in the air,
determined to carry out our plan,
This was not the feeling of me
alone, but the sentiments shared
by tis all coming to the North,
Yu Byong Ma: That's true,
Anyone who has a shred of na-
tional consclence cannot live even
a day in such South Korean sto-
clety where the American ras-
cals are Jlording tt over there and
they decide everything
The rascals hold power tn poll-
tics, economy and even tn the cul-
tural domain and completely seize
the prerogative of supreme com-
mand tn the affairs of deferse,
Aod the Pak Jung Hi clique, a
Gog of the American rascals, re-
sort without hesitation to a most
brutal Giscist rule to concpal the
agereasive design of the American
rascals.
They wantonly arrest anyone who
uilers & word of peaceful unifica-
tion and throw into jall unques-
tioningly oné who praleds the Nor-
thern half, Yet they are loud-
mouthed about ‘'freeden’ and
"democracy, But, what freedom
and democracy can there be in
South Korea infested with spectal
aeuntes and informerseverswhere?

in office for a long term, even
fabricating the ‘“conatituttonal

ing the demonstrations of numer-
ous students and people against it,
He who served the Japs yester-
day as an officer wearing u sword
at his side, shouting ‘Long live

into a dog of the American ras-
calé and is running about wildly
in South Korea in the ‘'presiden-
tial’ hat put on his head by the
rascals. We could under no cir-
curatances live tn South Korea,

A reporter of KCNA: Would you

Already when we were in the

we always shared the wishtocome

Of view, a9 you know Kangrung was

sky provides a good screen for
hiding the plane
As tar as 1 tomember, It was
about tweive hours twent)-sevwe
minutes when we took off at the
Kangrung airfield, from where we
flew some distance toward Seoul
Because, the plane was yet out-
side the cloud, Had we taken a
Northern course from the start,
it might have exctted suspicion
among those who were watching
us in the airfield,
So we flew for some time in
the direction of Seoul and when
we came near the Taegwan-ryong
mountain range, the plane New In
the cloud. There we veered to the
North and kept fying straight to
the eastern coast, giving a wide
berth to the mountain area,

Yu Byong Ha, Mr, Choe Sok Man

had tried from log ago to find

Perialist interests in the Arab
Fegion but international Zionism
and colonization have become

Organization js going to berate
the Jews who have nothing so that
they can live as an intogral part
of Palestine. People everywhere
are taking up arma against coloni-
zation and the Palestinian people
are proud to be part on the strug-
gle against America and world im-
peridlism, Today after five years
of armed struggle, the Palestinians

fendant's non-violent bellefs BE-
FORE he was put into segregation
(solitary), BEFORE he was In-
troduced to all the conditions in
the stockade agalnit which he com-
plained so bitterly, ‘ihe Army's
ambitfoun young prosecutor pur-
red. He furrowed the brow of his
chotr-boy face, trying to look elo-
quent he just looked alimy
"it ix patently unbellevable that
under all these conditions the de-
fendant, Pvi. Brakeffeld, STILL
advocated only morw ofthe same."
Newsmen and spectators look at
“ach other in surprise, Having
failed to come up with any sub-
stantial evidence that Bill Brake-
field had taken part tn last Juno's
Fort Dix stockade reteliion--tn
which 160 Gls tore up their cel!
blocks, throwing footlockers
through windows and setting mat-
tresses aflame «- the prosecutor
was DOW Saying that, given stock-
ade conditions, {{ was ‘unbelley-
able’ that Brakefield could not
have rebelled, Anyone who sat
through the last four courts mar-
tals of what the Army claims are
the rebellion's ‘'ringleaders*’
would have to agree,
But, as the same prosecutor
had repeatedly reminded the court,
-
“The Army and the administra-
tion of the stockade aré not on
trial here, There ts only one
accused in this case, and that ts
the defendant."’ Neodless to say,
the Army officers on the jury
agreed They sentenced Bill
Brakeficld to three years at hard
labor
The verdict and sentence werea
shock to almost overyone present,
One of the MP guards just shook
his head. ‘I just can’t see this at
al] -- how can you put a man
away on evidence like that’ says
a young military court officer,
freshly recruited and still new to
the Army way, ‘'The pigs don't
need any evidence,’’ says a Black
Gl, & Vietnam veteran, Even the
young balliff, his head atill shaved
from basic training, didn't stand
up for thy officer-jury a= they
walked out,
Of the 65 Gin in Brakefield’s
cell block, the army was only able
to get two witnesses to testify
against him. And all thoy could
Mefinitely say was that Bill had
suggested that they take partin the
tiot, No witness actually testified
to having seen Brakefield do any-
thing, In the course of the four
related trials, ll witnesses (nine
of them ‘government witnesses"')
have testified that the Armytriedto
@lther threaten or bribe therm Into
making statements against the
“ringleaders.” ‘'They sald I'd
never get out if I didn't make 4
statement against one of the
‘trouble-makers,’ ‘fone prisoner
had told the court in ap eariler
trial “Cibp (Criminal Investigation
Division) and | just made a bus-
ineas deal. They said they'd cive
mo tWo years off my sentence if
T implicated the guys they sald
they were after,’ another one had
sald,
It took courage for tho Gl-
brisoners to stand up under this
Pressure A prosecution ‘star

*} forgot what you told me to say
to that question,’’ at an earlier
trial, is being threatened with
Perjury charyes for not cooporat-

years, '"inoyve shown me the
charges but they haven't read them
to me officially yw,’ be oxplaina,
“The Idea Is, Uf I still tentify
against the other guys, they'll
drop the charges."’
It was this kind of solidarity
among the stockade Inmates thal
led to the aquittal of Terry Klug
and the light sentence (dishonor.
ablo discharge) of Thomas Catlow
The Army’s Strategy had heen to
make examples of four ofthe more
politically vocal GIs, and brite
and threaten the rest to be witness-
es against them, The fact that the
Army had to let two of their foor
“examples go is an impressive
victory for the stockade Gls who
refused to be intimidated, and =
bitter defeat for the Army. Part.
lcularly upsetting for the Army ts
the aquittal of Klug, to whom the
stockade commander Major Casey
admitted having sald, ‘I'm gonna
come to your court martial and
laugh and laugh.’’
Bill Brakefield, son of an alco-
holle Navy officer, brother of two
military tien and a former W Ac,
and Veteran of an anti-war san-
etuary at City College, told of
the stockade conditions that led
to the riot, and of his treatment
Since that timo, He was originally
In the stockade for refusing to
take part, even indirectly, in the
Vietnam war, All my fe I'd
been an individual -- the Army
tries to train people not to think,'’
he explained
Upon entering the stockade all
prisoners are made tolean, spread
eagied, up against a bar placed
four feet above the ground, while
cuards searched thom, Like most
prisoners, Brakefield had hin
feet kicked out from under him by
the guards, ‘‘] was lucky, they only
Gid it once to me,"’ he explained,
While practically Overy prisoner
Witness at (hetT trials has testi-
fled that there is talk of riot
every day inthe stockade, the
Dix reteliion of last June 5 was
Sparked by the public beating of
one prisoner, and the confining to
Segregation of another (for de-
manding = water bow! at lunch
after the prisoners had been made
to stand in formation at parade
rest for three bours in the 90
degree June sun.)
Since the rebellion, Brakefleld
has been kept tn segregation, He
has suffered constant harassment |
Sy guards, and often has been
Geniod access tolawyer, girlfriend
or family--ovon by mail During
his 194-ilay sogregation he alter~
nated for two-week periods
between a regular diet and the
stockade's famous “disciplinary
diet,"’ -The Gisciplinary diet con-
Sists of water, bread, cold pots-
toon afd occasional cold vegeta-
bles, “One time the doctor came
and looked at me through the bara
for about three seconds, He then
announced that I was fit to go on
another 14 days of disciplinary

Politics Are Off Limits
For Ft. Lewis
Louisville, Ky,--Staff members
from Gl Coffeehouses around the
country met in Loulsville, Ky, from
December 28 to January 1 to ex-
change information on the explod-
ing Gl movement within all bran-
ches of the Armed Servicos,
As a firat priority, the group
organized a national campaign on
behalf of the Shelter Half Coftee-
house near Fort Lewls in Tacoma,
Washington The Stelter Half re-
cently received a sotice from the
Armed Forces Disciplinary Con-
trol Board stating that action had
begun to place the Shélier Half
OFF LIMITS to all servicemen,
A hearing was set for January 22,
at which time the board will makea
final decision ou the matter,
The Shelter Hall released a
letter from the military which said,
“The board took this action afier
receiving information that the
Shelter Mall Coffeehouxe is a
source of dissident counseling and
itterature apd other activities
tnimileal to the good morale, order
and discipline within the Armed
Services,’”
tn atmplier language, te ven
¥ forbid soldiers to come to
Oe maha Half because of the
nagatines and discussions that go
on Were. Michael Kennedy, at-
torney for the Shelter Half noted
that the case is unique since the
military is now trying to use ite
off limits powers for political rea-
sons, This ineans that the Army
is telling Gi's officially what they
can read and who they can talk to
on thelr off duty hours,
The conference, consisting of
Gi's, civillans, and veterans, dis-
Cussed actions on and around mill-
tary bases in response tothe move
to put the Shelter Half OF F LIMITS
A large demonstration has been
planned for January 22, the day
of the hearing, and the conference
gave notice that “If the Sholter
Half ta pot off limits, Port Lewls
will be put off Limits,’
Shelter Half staf! mombers
speculated § that the action was
taken tecause of Increasing dis-
sent among Gi's on Fort Lewis
an Indicated by the intense acti,
vitles of the American Service-
man's Union on base and increda-
ing refusals of soldiers to go to
Vietnam and refusals of clot con-
trol duty. A statement circulating
underground oo Fort Lewis sndal-
ready signed by hundreds of GI's
says, ‘“‘Putting the Shelter Half
off limite is not the answer to
the morale problem in the Army
The answer is the immediate end
to the war In Vietnam and ending
the way (he rank-and-file enlisted
men are treated like animals’
A staff member from the Shel-
ter Half said," The Army is scared
because they can no longer brato-
wash the men, They think that by
keeping GI's from meeting together
at the Shelter Half and from read-
ing and talking to civilians, they
can make more obedient sol-
diurs. If the Sholtor Half is pat
off limits, the movement tn the
Army Will of course continue, and
the Army will look for other *‘out-
aide a@pitators’’ to use an ecape-
goats. Any organization, churches
Or even private homes where Gi's
congregate can be pat off limite
and probably will te as GI's con-
tinue to resiat being turned into
tools for big business *’

Design
Im all societies, the way of jife of the people, thelr culture, mores, customs, etc, evolve from the
economic basis of that society, The United States is a capitalist society, the system of capitalism being
one of exploitation of man by man, with by-products such as ractam, religious chauvinism, sexual
chauvinism, and unnatural divisions among the people, In other words, i's a dog-eatdog society
But it's not a dog-cat-dog world
Men are not innately greedy, nor are they innately uncooperative with each other. Therefore, it is
our goal, it is the goal of the Black Panther Party, and must be the goal of all men, to create conditions
in which men can start being human, can begin to cooperate with each other, can live with each other,
in fact, in peace. Men cannot do this without an arena in which to do to. In other words, in an exploits
tive system men are forced to exploit, In an unkind system, men ate forced to be unkind. In a world of
iohumanity, men will be inhuman, In a society that is warmongering, men will war. These are the
aspects of the way of life of 2 people who are part of a capitalist system
And songs ate a part of the culture of iety, Art, in general, is that. Songs, like all art forms, are
an expression of the feelings and thoughts, the desires and hopes, and so forth, of a people. They are
no more than that. A song cannot change a situation, because a seng does not live and breathe. People do
And so the songs in this album ore a statement — by, of, and for the people. All the people. A state

it-was necessary for our survival (o grab from each other, to take what we wanted as individuals from
any other individuals or groups, er to exploit each other. And 49, the statement is that some of us have

allow them to be determined by the few men who now determine them. That we were always human
and always had this power. Bul that we never recognized that, for we were deluged, bombarded,
mesmerized by the trinkets of the ruling class. And this means all of us; Black, Mexican, White, Indian
Oriental, Gypsy, all who are mambers of the working class, of the non-working class (that is, those whe
don't have jobs), a!) who are oppressed
This means all of us have this power, But the power only belongs to all of us, not just some or one,
but all, And that wat the trick. That was the thing we never understood. And that is what statement

On. Monday, January 4, 1970,

Dr, Vietor Levine, found between
4.1 and 4.6 per cent of the drug,
seconal, present im hin body,
enough to prevent any man from
moving or raising himself from
Hleep, Thus, not only did the pigs
bave their entrance with gun-shot
fire and proceed to make Fred's
body one of their main targots,
but they made sure that ne would
be asleep (non-resisting) so that
they would have no problems kill-
ing him, The pigs have obviously
taken the motto. ‘'Drug to prevent
defense." Lies spread by State At-
fourney'’s policemen that Fred
Hampton shot a weapon several
times, or that he even attempted
to do so must te regarded 4s
irwacherous prefubrications thal
