We are isolated in a small corridor ’ with five rooms, one little kitchen, Ge AD La ees ie sa and one small bathroom, When we asked about why we are see - ‘Sy FRANCIS CARTER way, we are told because it's for the good of the institution and that the women up there don't have the same political affillation as we do, And, that they are afraid that we are going to have them develop revolutionary consciousness tothe fact that they would stop working, they would stop conforming to all the things that they have to go through. . When we go to court, we are escourted to court by two state troopers in front and two state troopers in the back, and they have their Riot 20 shotguns and their Browning Automatics and they stand with them pressed up against their chests, ready to shoot if we move, if we breathe wrong. We asked what this is for and they said that it was for our own pro- tection because the women on the farm don't have the same polit- ical affiliations--which was a lie. Because all the women are sup- porting us, and when we first got busted, May 23rd, we went to Niantic and we were supposed to get out of that 60 hour Isolation, and they kept us there and they told us that we weren't going to get out. The women went on strike and they refused to do the linen. They refused to work and this stirred up a lot and got the State’s Attorney shook up. He said, ‘‘keep them in there.’’ We had constant vamps on our corridor; they took down our posters and everything because they say they don't want any political propaganda up on the walls. They said that Panther pa- pers were contraband, Our mail is censored, It takes sometimes 15 days for it to get from one place to another, That's because when Ericka writes her family, they're in Washington right at J. Edgar Hoover's office, and that fascist pig reads them and censors them and treatment that we receive ts kind of inhumane, Because a week after they vamped and found their so-called contra- band which we figured was just something necessary forustokeep our spirits up because the bro- thers and sisters have been wri- ting us beautiful letters, we’ ve been receiving the papers and we' ve had a lot of contact with the Outside, they would make us go into this little room and strip naked in front of the perverted matrons, We had to go and do this when we had a visit from our family, when we had a visit from the clergy and even our lawyer, going to the office and back, We had a bail hearing and Judge Aaron J, Palmer granted me ball-- he said, because the evidence wasn't sufficient, Now I went to court last Wednesday and the pro- secutor asked--the prosecutor ap- pealed it and asked for it to go to the Supreme Court and they said we're not going--the prose- cution asked that I have a stay until the Supreme Court decision was made and the judge denied it. Then the prosecutor asked if he could haye a stay until he ap- pealed this decision that the judge had just finished making which was a stay on the stay, Judge Palmer denied it and said that I could be released as soon as ball was posted, Bail was only $10,000 which came as a shock to everybody. The reason for that was they knew that the illegal way they arrested me, the illegal bribery, trickery, and fascist tactics that they used on me, I returned to court today for motions on the way we were ar- rested, The prosecutor said my first witness will be Francis Carter. K, B Worback was shocked; I was shocked! I have never talked with the prosecutor, nobody from his office, for the entire eight months I was there. He has never talked to K, B, but he has been trying to ask K, B, for deals because he knows that the evidence is not sufficient on me, When they vamped onour Pan- ther quarter in Niantic Connec- ticut, they took some very im- portant papers which I was writing out to my lawyer which possibly could have caused this and incriminated me more, Their woman informer, that they are talking about, is very well covered and they refuse to break her cover and what we feel is that they are trying to use me. I hope that the brothers and sisters keep their faith in me because when I walk into court tomorrow, I'm go- ing to take the fifth and also read a statement which [have prepared, I refuse, and the judge will use his old cliche about you have the key to the jail whenever you de- cide to testify. I'll just tell him to just keep his key and I'd rot in there before I'dever turn against the people and my comrades, EXPOSURE OF ANOTHER FACET OF REPRESSION AND FASCISM LETTER FROM GERONIMO TO ERIKA It is sort of hard for me to express in writing the way my heart feels towards you, I don't think it's necessary to even at- tempt to do that, because ‘‘those good old days'’ we spent together serve as an additional impetus in which each revolutionary element has been tied together with love- faith» courage, And those tray are the tes that bind, AS you know, your L.A.

We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present day society.’’ I want to explain to all the people I can, just how this programmed system is geared toplanning justhow much you will learn in school, which in effect, dictates your economic status for the rest of your life. For example, here are two schools in different districts but close to each other, School A - 3rd Grade - Books- 4th Grade School B - 4th Grade - - Books - School A, located in the lower socio-economic community is using 3rd Grade books while School B is using 4th Grade Books, So, say the kid moves from district A to B at the end of the school year.,,then he will have just fin- ished 3rd Grade books in the 4th Grade, will be put in the 5th Grade _swith Sth Grade books, therefore ~ missing completely anything taught from 4th Grade books, What hap- pens? His marks immediately go down, Now the schools have started taking these jive IQ tests that they use to determine (by grouping peo- le) just how much you or your : child is going to learn, This me- thod is called “grouping,’’ this ered tee Co abet ACt #070 HLROIA is, putting people with the same so-called IQ's together inclasses, (The results of these tests are suppressed information hidden in files somewhere), Example: IQ Test Score: 25=S0-se~ =e nares asnenaa A 50-75-----------------.~.- B 15-100-----=------2--.--.

Herein begins the school's ‘tracking’ system, There are four different English Classes each one teaching a little more than the other: 7th Grade Grammar Nouns & Pronouns Grammar Nouns & Pronouns Adjectives & Adverbs Grammar SSS Nouns & Pronouns Adjectives & Adyerbs Participles & Gerunds The ‘‘tracking’’ system begins when the student is put in his track and is kept there during the remainder of his school years, If the student has a conflict of echeaule ae has to be moved from srt ee ef 2) yel ga ee one track to another then action Starts, When moved from a lower track to a higher one the student with a ‘‘C'’ grade begins to get ‘D's’ because he is madetolearn twice or three times as much as he was previously being taught, However, if moved from a higher track to a lower one the ‘‘c’’ student begins to get “B’s'’ be- cause he ts only being taught half the work, Because of this most times the second move is favored because school authorities are not hasseled by parents be- cause ‘‘Johnny"’ is getting B's!’ how, and everyone is happy, but Johnny isn't learning anythingand only he will realize that simply because when it comes time to take those SAT college tests he is not going to pass--Why? He hasn't been taught the work. Thus limiting the college he might want to go to, So people, do you see what's happening in your schools, from coast to coast? Doyou? Those who are running this maniacle sys- tem can tell you what you'll be able to do, how much money you'll earn, and what jobs you'll have from the time you walk in those School gates, As long as they need clean-up boys, and the lke, this oppressive system of learning would have to be maintained.

Fd Pf aa . brothers realize that since the pigs have allowed them to be in the same pig pen together, they have {so- lated them from the other prison- ers. The pigs are trying to use their old tactic of demagogy, they are telling the brothers, ‘WE ARE DE— FINITELY GOING Gye) SEE TO IT THAT YOU.GET A FAIR TRIAL."’ Their practice is contradicting their words: they have refused the brothers the rights that other pri- soners haye; the brothers are not allowed to come incontact withany of the other prisoners. They have a whole section for Panthers only, in which they are broken up, three to a cell, on different wings of the floor. These revolutionary bro- thers are close to each other, but they want to be allowed to be with their people, The brothers realize that the other prisoners who are incarcerated like them- selves in the pigs pen have also been denied their constitutional rights.

The brothers and sisters of the Panther 2], want the people to By Lee Berry's Brother From In the latter part of March 1969, my husband, Lee Berry was hos- pitalized for an epileptic condi- tion acquired during his service in the U.S, mercenaries, The doc- tors at Veterans Hospital, a fed- eral institution, considered his condition severe enough tonecesi- tate treatment as an in-patient. _ Nevertheless, three days after his admittance he was greeted at his bedside by three pigs armed with shotguns who informed himthat he was under arrest for an alleged conspiracy to dynamite stores; po- lice stations etc. etc, How anyone ‘could bomb anything from a hos- _ pital bed is rather hard to ima- gine, however, he was ordered to get out of bed, get dressed and was handcuffed. He was then taken to the Tombs where for three months he received no medical attention, and slept on a bed with- out a mattress. Like the other brothers and sisters he was held under maximum security, which intails a 24 hour lock up; total separation fromthe other inmates; limited visitation rights, no H- brary or recreational privileges, lights kept on in cell for 24 hours. By the fourth month our lawyers were able to persuade the court to issue an order for him to re- ceive his medication from the pri- son doctor. It was after he was blackjacked by a pig by the name of John Deislehurst, Badge No. 488, he sustained a serious wound over his left eye which required stitches. However, he never re- ceived stitches but was instead put in the hole and his visits were revoked for five days, On a later occasion he was thrown in the hole and had his visits revoked for 20 _ days for the ‘heinous crime’ of cursing at a pig. ‘The next four monthswerespent struggling with the court to have him ‘transferred to a hospital pri- We son ward. Finally after spending eight months inthe Manhattan House of Horrors, he was trans- ferred to Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward, Aftera few days in Belle- vue they decided to run a Series of ‘‘tests'’ supposedly to determine whether or not he was truly an epileptic. These ‘‘tests'’ incidentally were ordered by the court, The after effects of these tests left him in a stupor for a number of days. He was also un- able to walk and was totally con- fined to the bed. I was given no explanation for his condition by any of the med- {cal staff except that it was mere- ly the after effects of a test, The nature or the purpose of this test was never explained to me. On December 26 the hospital called and informed me that he had un- dergone surgery for a ruptured appendix, He {is now in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit, under armed guards, fight- ing a fever of 105 degrees, cough- ing up blood with tubes through- out his body. On Saturday, January 3, a group of concerned brothers and sisters stood in freezing rain to express their solidarity and to demand my husband's release, As a result of this I was later approached by an indignant doc- tor who claimed that such demon- strations were unnécessary,since my husband was receiving the ‘best of medical care*’, The fol- lowing is a personal eye witness account of this so-called ‘‘good'’ medical care: *¢ On January 5, I arrived at the hospital at 8 p.m, to find him in excruciating pain from a swell- ing in the groin area, Atapprox- imately 10 p.m. when the pain was no longer bearable he asked the nurse for some medication to relieve it. She informed us that she couldn't do so without orders from a doctor, It was then neces- Sary for us to ask her to page a H POLITICAL PRISONERS- ‘The brothers and sisters of the know that they have faith in them and believe that it will be the people who will free them from the pigs sty SO that they can continue the struggle in the streets of Babylon. FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISON— ERS! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE IT! Wife ¥ ZI doctor. About a half an hour later a doctor with a Texan accent by the name of Sebold arrived on the set and drawled out a cold an un- sympathetic, ‘What do you want,’ Lee then told him of the swell- ing and pain in the groin, This so-called doctor then proceeded to snatch off the covers and started poking and pressing on the swollen area, After a five minute examli- nation which only intensified the pain, he casually pulled back the covers and remarked, ‘Well it beats me, I don't know what's wrong.’ With this Lee demanded to be left alone and just be given something for the pain, At which point this pig asked him if he was a drug addict. I then demanded that he leave and another doctor be sent down. He looked at me with a cold sarcasticgrinand re- marked, ‘I'm his doctor, I'm all he's got and his ilfe depends on me,’ He strolled away and re- turned with a pill. Lee refused the pill for the obvious reasonthat 4 surgical tube which was pushed through his nose clear into his stomach was pumping everything out again and the pill would have no affect, It would merely be pumped back out. He was being fed through his veins and that's the way he had to be medicated, With this the beast laughingly re- plied, ‘That's a good thought, I guess you're right’and he ordered the nurse to administer a shot of morphine, At approximately 12:30 he recetved it. “*No further investigation into the cause or the nature of the pain was made until the following morn- ing when the medical team made their round. It was found to bea blood clot, ’’ FREE THE N.Y, 21 Marva Berry THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1970 PAGE 3 SUPPRESSION Toilers of Babylon, once again the fascist power structure has moved to destroy another servant of the poor oppressed masses, I was arrested on the 24th of Sep- tember in the year of revolution- 1969, on a trumped up charge of flight to avoid prosecution for a burglary in California (which I know nothing about).

The purpose of this Black Community Information Center is to meet the basic needs and de- Sires of the Bronx community, The members are now in the course of building up a com- munity relationship with those living in the Bronx area by sell- ing and giving away copies of the Black Panther Party Newspaper and by inviting the members of the community to come in and familiarize themselves with the Center. The Liberation School will be held every Saturday at this Black Community Information Center at one o'clock for young children in the community, age 4 to 14. The Center is in the process of providing free clothes to the community,in answer to the recent welfare cut, Community meetings are held every Saturday at three o'clock to discuss actions taking place in the Bronx Community and move on those things that are not bene- ficial to the Bronx community, I strongly urge all interested members of the community to come out and participate in these very important meetings, The Black Community Informa- tion Center is here to serve us, the people and ro solve any prob- lems thatthe people of the com- munity have regarding housing (rent, landlords, heat, etc.) school problems, police harassment, gen- eral community welfare problems, such as torn down buildings, traf- fic lights, etc. This Black Com- munity Information Center is lo- cated at 1370 Boston Road, tele- phone No. 328-9009, Brother Malcolm once said that “We should come out, so we can hear for ourselves, then make an intelligent decision for ourselves, but if we form the habit of going about what others have said about Someone or something, people can confuse us and Misuse us.”’ So people take heed. This Center is to serve you, anything the Center can do for the community will only be fulfilling their duty to you. Their motto is ‘‘We Serve The People.” Stanley Timms Friend of the Panthers LEE BERRY’S LIFE MUST BE SAVED Lee Berry is being tortured to death in Bellevue Hospital's pri- son ward. Lee Berry is an epi- leptic who has been held in maxi- mum security since his arrest in April as one of the Panther 21, Lee Berry has been denied pro- per medical attention for his epilepsy and has suffered serious Seizures through the past nine months, However, it was not un- til December that he was finally transferred to the Bellevue prison ward, only after he went into a coma, Since then he has under- gone a ‘‘mysterious operation’ while under neuro- observation, Police keep his room tightly guar- ded and he can receive no visitors. Lee Berry should not be in a prison ward. He is in need of special care, Remember Abbie Hoffman (on trial for conspiracy in Chicago) who caught a cold and was hospltalized without guards for 8 days, (Someone with a cold can travel much better than an epileptic in a coma), Lee Berry is now in critical condition.

Itwas originally built in 194 by J. L. Eichler, Inc. The initial plan was TOWERS During the time Elchler was try- ing to sell the Towers it was ru- mored that the H,A, (Housing Au- thority) was going to take them over and convert them into hous- ing projects, While this never did PICKETERS AT GENEVA TOWERS to build an apartment complex, with a panoramic view, that would appeal to those people whose earn- ings would allow them to pay rents running as high as $175 per month for a three-bedroom apartment. Moreover, Eichler, like any other developer, expected to make large profits off of the Towers at the expense of the tenants, His plan did not work as smoothly nor as profitably as he had originally ex- pected and as a consequence, he was forced to sell. This is how the current owner, Federated Mortgage of Los Angeles, acquired the Towers, INSANE FASCIST PIGS come to pass, the H,A, did LEASE units in the Towers for those fa- milies who qualify for public hous- ing. Familles who rent apartments in the Towers on this basis pay their rent to the H.A, which, in turn, forwards that amount plus the balance of the monthly rent to the Los Angeles owners. There are currently 97 families rent- ing in the Towers under this plan, The H.A. first took out these leases on the Ist of June 1968, and the majority of them expire on May 31, 1970, There is specu- lation that the owners will not renew the leases when they ex- BEAT AND HARASS PEO- PLE INTHE COMMUNITY December 31 Shooting-New York On Wednesday night, December 31, at about 9 p.m., a nigger pig was shot on Seventh Ave, between 122nd and 123rd Street. Detective Wright had slid up on a brother in the community and showed his badge. The brother responded with two shots in the neck and fled down Seventh Ave. The detective fired, but missed and was later taken to the hospital in critical condition, The following morning, January 1, a5 everyone was coming home from their New Year's celebra- tions, the fascist pigs used the shooting of pig Wright as an ex- cuse to terrorize the people of the community. Brothers on the block reported that they were stopped and frisked as manyas three times on their way home. One blood, known only as ‘Brother’’ was taken in and beaten--his hands were injured, Sister Donna White was picked up and beaten as well, About 11 a.m. New Years Day, ‘as we emerged from Raytields Candy Store on Seventh, right where the shooting had taken place the ‘Night before, shots were fired Across the street, Brother Jacob _ Bethea, ran across to where there Were several detective cars from ; vie aaa on West 123rd Street *o see what was happening, and saw the oinking pigs brutalizing _ @ brother from the community, Paul Blakey. As he called out to the pigs to ask why they had to beat onthe brother, a pig snatched Jacob by the collar and threw him in the pig car. Since the insane fascist pigs had their pieces out and were waving them rather wildly, we stood a respec- table distance and asked what the charges were. The pigs only was to oink, ‘We got room for one more, you wanna go too?’* People in the community had gathered on the corner of 122nd and 7th and were angry. One sis- ter said that they had come to her house that morning asking a lot of silly questions and had been annoying people on the block and harassing them. Point No. 7 on the Black Panther Party 10 point platform and pro- gram says/'WE WANT AN IMME- DIATE END TO POLICE BRUTAL— ITY AND MURDER OF BLACK PEOPLE..”’ We know that the pigs are not in our community to pro- tect us, They are there to pro- tect the property of those who live outside the community and exploit the people of the community, The pigs are constantly harassing the people and will use any excuse to do so, The entire detective squad was out on 122nd Street harassing the people of the com- munity, What about Detective Wright? ‘He was your own color’, some said to me. But the people are not concerned about pire due to charges that they brought against 30 of the sub- sidized tenants, Federated Mort- gage claims that these 30 sub- sidized tenants were guilty of such crimes as: having unreported pets, parking in unauthorized stalls, having undisciplined children, making too much noise, keeping unclean apartments and for having “too much foot traffic of unde- sirables late at night.’ According to Walter Scott, Deputy Execu- tive Director of the San Fran- cisco H.A,, his agency conducted their own investigation and were unable to satisfactorily substan- tiate the charges. They, there- fore, concluded that the request of the owners to have the tenants evicted would not be honored, This issue was further aggra- yated by a RENT STRIKE con- sisting of most of the non- subsidized tenants,which was twig- gered by a rent increase that be- came effective this past January Ll. The strikers, who have formed into a tenants organization, filed suit in District Court of San Fran- cisco on Wednesday, January 16, protesting the rent increase, The suit was filed by the Geneva Towers Tenants Organization a- gainst Federated Mortgage Inves- tors, Housing Secretary George Romney, the Federal Housing Ad- ministration and two Federal Housing Authority officials. The reason the FHA was implicated is because as holders of the first mortgage on the Towers they are required to approve all rent in- creases (they, however, refuse to answer whether or not they ap- proved the raise). I talked with Herschel Berkus, _ Federated Mortgage vice- president, and he said thatthe rent increase was necessary for the company to meet the mortgage pay- ments. This is mainly attributable ff tothe fact that Geneva Towers is not reaping the volumn of pro- fits deemed necessary by the own- ers. In a situation like this there @ is only one alternative that faces ® the avaricious capitalist land- owner--RAISE THE RENTS, How- § ever, this only aggravates the is- sue more. The primary reason for the diminishing returns on the Geneva Towers is directly atri- butable to the high rents that al- ready existed prior to the rent increase. As a result of the high rents there are currently 94 vacan- cies, According to an Examiner~ reporter, in a desperate attempt to fill the vacancies, ‘‘.,.the owner is now running television com- the color of the pigs that harass, brutalize, and murder them and the people will offer resistance to any forces that are in the com- munity that are not there to pro- tect them. A Black man who ts on the Police force and operates within the confines of the pig depart- ment as it is now set up is sim- ply helping to perpetrate fascism, Huey P, Newton says, ‘‘The police should be the people of the com- munity in uniform. There should be no division or conflict of in- terest between the people and the police, Once there is a division, then the police become the enemy of the people. The police should serve the interests of the people and be one and the same, When this principle breaks down, then the police become an occupying army.’’ When all over the coun- try, the pig departments are using the same fascist techniques to sup- press the people, when alloverthe country they are actually support- ing the flow of the narcotics that is killing our youth and making money on it, when pig departments consistently operate against the a Clad. be | | aned i © C i] T 2? 2 = SI GENEVA TOWERS mercials telling people the way ‘to go up in the world’ is by mov- ing intoGenevaTowers,’’ Sam Wil- Hams, head of the Tenants Organi- zation, gave another reason for the high vacancy rate when he men- tioned the poor maintenance and management that has continued to exist at the Towers. Thus far no one has been evicted nor served with an evictionnotice, However, this may be just a ten- tative situation, Not only is the H,A, lease expiring in May, the Tenants Organization has put forth a list of demands which they say must be met if the owner expects any rent. These demands are: 1) an injunction that would halt the rent increase until a hearing was held to determine the matter. 2) renumeration of money that all tenants paid in rent increases in the past for which there were no hearings to determine the neces- sity of increases. 3) compelling Romney andthe FHA to rescind the approval they (al- legedly) gave for the rent increase. 4) a judgment by the courts that the rent increase was a violation of the National Housing Act. 5) a ruling to make the lease each tenant was required to sign, “tunconscionable and void"’. In summary; there are 94 vacan- cies in Geneva Towers: there are 97 families involved in the H,A, lease plan--leases for 79 of these families expire in May while the expiration dates for the remaining 18 families range from May 31 through November 31, 1970; there 7 is as =e ee ee af ee ioe =e © oe subsidized tenants. All these con~ ditions make it look rather bleak for the owner of Geneva Towers. This all proves once again just how much power the people could really exercise. If all exploited tenants refused to pay exorbitant rents and organized themselves into a strong peoples’ organization, determined to fight for power-- by any means necessary--to gain control over the land upon which they live, then the conditions would be ripe for REVOLTUION, This is so because in the final analysis ic is the LAND QUESTION that must be considered if people are to be FREE--politically, econom- ically, socially and militarily, We know historically, that all free peo- ple are people who have liberated the land upon which they live, For Black people this will neces- sitate the liberation, not only of the dispersed Black colonies in which they live, but a Liberation of the White mother country--the land from which our oppression is launched, Tenant organizations raise the land question very dra- matically and I look forward, in the future, to a time when the land question is not only raised, but is also solved, Or, in the words of Eldridge Cleaver: In order to bring this situation about, Black men know that they must pick up the gun, they must arm Black people to the teeth, they must organize an army and confront the mother country with a most drastic consequence if she attempts to assert police power ~ } ia have been rent increases ranging from $15 to $23 per month--this sets the monthly rate for a two- bedroom apartment at $170and for a three-bedroom apartment at $190, plus $10 extra for every pet in a tenants possession: and tocap it off, there is a rent strike that interests of the people, then the people must move to remove them from the community. It was reported in New York City, that there was a sharp increase in narcotics arrests this past year, But there was no de- crease in the flow of narcotics into the city or into the veins of our youth. And this is because the pig department will not move against the source of the drugs. The pigs make money on drugs, they keep the people pacified with drugs and they will not move against those things in the com- munity which are harmful to the people. They will only serve their includes the majorty of the non- . over the colony. If the White mo- ther country is to have a victory over the Black colony, it is the duty of Black revolutionaries to insure that the imperialists re- ceive no more than a Pyrrhic victory, written in the blood of what ameriKKKa might have be- come.

Many people believed that the slaves had the right to rise up and overthrow their op- pressors but all of them realized that the battld had to be fought by Black people; the slaves had to overthrow their slavemasters. It is now a matter of history that the slaves were freed by a pro- clamation, non-violently, and yet it is a matter of reality that today the fact still remains that if we are to be free from the chains that hold us captives, we must be the ones to strike.the blow, we _ Must be the ones to drive the stake into the heart of the monster, ameriKKKa, who kills by slowly sucking the life from our bodies.

Although we may draw from the knowledge of others, the final answers to any questions arising must be based on our ex- perlences and knowledge of exist- ing conditions, Each revolution is unique and different; we could not just read a book and find a ready- _made plan for a successful war of liberation, anymore than we could blindly follow the plans for another ‘peoples struggle without any | thought of differing conditions, We must have revolutionary theory-- Marxism-Leninism--but we must be able to apply that theory to our own situation, It is precisely because of this need to solve our Problems, to find our own an- _| SWers to questions arising with- | in our struggle, to develop feasi- ble plans for reyolutionary action that the concept of ‘juche'’, ad- vanced by Comrade Kim 0 Sung _ }ofthe Democratic Peoples Re- | public tant of Korea is so vitally a to our struggle and ai be understood by all rev- ‘ oH elatloary forces. “The establish- oi ‘ment of ‘juche’ means holding fast rae of solving for one- li the problems of the rey- pandisgoe traction in con- Of formity with the actual conditions at home, and mainly by one’s own efforts.

We must do this ourselves, but not only for ourselves but for the liberation of the entire world. Standing firm on our principle of self-reliance, we must advance confidently, creating a new so- ciety from our victory. If we fall to incorporate this idea of ‘‘juche +" of self-reliance, in our struggle, in our politics and ideology, we will be unable to think creatively, to display any initlative; finally, we will become unable to judge our moves right or wrong, and blindly following what others do, we will bring our revolutionary struggle to defeat. Our history proves that we are a creative people--only a creative people could have continued under the hardships imposed upon us: apeo- ple brought from distant shores on a journey that only the strongest could endure; a people forced to suffer an existence so inhumane that the situation was covered by an inmensity of lies; a people who formed out of the depressing con- ditions a new way of life, culture built on their strength, their in- genuity, and their ability to de- velop something out of the nothing- hess that surrounded them.

Perhaps, the hard- est part of our struggle for sur- vival and liberty is yet to come, for we must now fight for the freedom of which we have spoken for so long...We have only to call forth that same creativity and strength that our ancestors have shown in the past, the strength that is our true heritage, to over- come the obstacles placed in our path, to wipe out the barriers that would turn around a weaker people or people less dedicated to the i- deals of justice and freedom.

ON REVOLUTIONARY ART (REVISED) Revolutionary art begins with the program that Huey P. Newton instituted with the Black Panther Party. Revolutionary art, like the Party, is for the whole community and deals with all its problems. It gives the people the correct picture of our struggle whereas the revolutionary ideology gives the people the correct political understanding of our struggle. Before a correct visual inter- pretation of the struggle can be given, it must be recognized that revolutionary art is an art that flows from the people, It must be a whole and living part of the people’s lives, their daily strug- gle to survive. To draw about revolutionary things, the artist must have shot and/ or be ready to shoot when the time comes. In order to draw about the peo- ple who are shooting, he must be able to capture the true rev- olution in a pictorial fashion, He must feel what the people feel who throw rocks and bottles at the oppressor when he draws about REVOLUTIONARY ART-- A TOOL FOR LIBERATION it--so that he can raise their level of consciousness tohand-grenades and dynamite to be launched at the oppressor, Revolutionary art gives a physical confrontation with the tyrants, and also streng- thens people to continue their vig- erous attack by educating the masses through observation, Through the revolutionary ar- tist’s observation of the people, we can picture the territory on which we live (as slaves): pro- ject maximum damage to the op- pressor with minimum damage to the people, and come out victorious. The revolutionary artist's ta- lents are just one of the weapons he uses in the struggle for all oppressed people. His art becomes a tool for liberation. Revolutionary art can thereby progress as the people progress, because the peo- ple are the inspiration to the ar- tist and not the artist tothe people. To conceive any type of visual interpretation of the struggle, the revolutionary artist must con- stantly be motivating the people, but before one moves to stimulate the people to progress as the strug - gle progresses he must make strong roots among the masses of the people. Only with these Strong roots with the masses can 4 revolutionary artist continue to bring forth visual interpretations of revolutionary art indefinitely until liberation, By having these Strong roots among the masses of oppressed people, the revolu- tionary artist rises above the con- fusion that the oppressor has brought on the colonized people, because all of us are slaves, from the Christian to the brother on the block, the college student and the high school drop-out, the street walker and the secretary, the pimp EMORY and the preacher, the domestic worker and the gangster--all the elements of the ghetto can under- stand revolutionary art, The ghetto itself is the gallery for the revolutionary artist's drawings. His work is plastered on the walls, in store front win- dows, on fences, doorways, tele- phone poles and booths, passing busses, alleyways, gas stations, barber shops, beauty parlors, laundry mats, liquor stores, aS well as the huts of the ghetto. By taking art out of the museum and putting it on the street with the people, the revolutionary ar- tist educates the people as they go through their daily routine, from day to day, week to week, and month to month, This way therev- olutionary artist cuts through the smokescreens of the oppressor and creates brand new images of rev- olutionary action for the entire community. Revolutionary art is an exten- tion and interpretation for the masses in the most simple and obvious form, Without being com- mitted to the struggle for libera- tion, the artist could not express revolutionary art at all, Revolu- tionary art is learned in the ghetto from the rat avaricious business- man, the demagogic politician and the pig cops on the beat, not in the schools of fine art. The rev- olutionary artisthears the people's screams when they are being attacked by the pigs; he shares their curses when he, too, feels like killing the pigs but is une- quipped, He watches and hears the sounds of foot steps of Black and other oppressed people trampling the ghetto streets and translates them into pictures of slow re- volts against the slayemasters, stomping them, riddling their brain with bullets, so that the people can have power and freedom to determine the destiny of their com- munity and help to build a better world, Revolutionary art is a return- ing from hell and of the blind, we no longer let the oppressor lead us around acting as our seeing-eye dog. BLACK PANTHER PARTY Minister of Culture Emory Douglas > THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1970 PAGE 6 The demand ‘‘Prisoners of War for Panthers'’ put forward by the Black Panther Party can be won, There is a historical precedent for just this sort of exchange taking place, This writer played a small part. in this precedent and remembers it vividly. The Black Panther Party is de- manding that the UnitedStates gov- ernment release Panther political prisoners in exchange for U.S. war criminals shot down while making murderous bombing raids over the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Apologists for U.S. imperialism will say that this sort of thing just can’t be done; that people imprisoned under the criminal ‘codes of this country can’t be freed In political exchanges. Peo. ple who don’t really want to see ‘the Panthers freed from the pig . power structure will point to a lot of legalisms as to why such an exchange can’t be made: the Pan- ther brothers and sisters have been jailed on criminal, not polit- ical charges; the federal govern- ment, which would have to arrange such an exchange, has no juris- diction over the separate states; the Panthers have yet to undergo trial and sentencing, etc, etc. But all this is really a lot of baloney. The U.S, imperialist gov- ernment could free the Panthers _tomorrow if they wanted to. Be- cause just eight years ago, under almost identical circumstances, the pigs in Washington -did agree to political exchanges, This was in the case of Francisco Molina, OPEN LETTER TO RELATIVES OF AMERIKKKAN POW’S NOW BEING HELD IN VIETNAM To The 58 Wamen and Children Who Went to Paris: I want to compare the treat- ment of the prisoners of war now being held in Vietnam and the po- litical prisoners of the United States, First, the political prison- ers are accused of all these lies or trumped-up charges (conspi- racy to blow-up department stores, railroad facilities and the Bronx Botannical Gardens) and held on a $100,000.00 bail for nine months. Second, there are Black women in jail who have been beaten up, One sister was kicked and stomped _ on and even had part of her body hung out of a window. The pigs had here in their hands ready to throw the rest of her body out. There are Black women who are pregnant and are not getting any medical attention, but are being _» treated like animals.° They (the pigs) are talking about putting their babies in orphan homes.

Francisco Molina was a young worker who lived in New York City. He was a passionate de- fender of the Cuban Revolution at 4 time when both the Cuban Re- public and its supporters in the U.S. were up against the most vic- ious fascist attacks from Washing- ton. Molina was framed up on a murder charge, and for weeks the papers screamed about ‘The Hook'' (the name they made up for him because he had lost a hand working in a Queens toy factory) with the same kind of hysteria they use today against the Panthers. Like the brothers and sisters today,who are in jail on bails thar are impossible to make, Molina’ was held without bail so that he couldn’t get out and rally support. Nevertheless, there was great support for him in the Cuban community and among North ameriKKKans sympathetic to the Revolution, Like the Panthers in jail today, Molina was held on a criminal charge, but the real case made against him was for his politics. The U.S, Ambassador to the UN lost no time in charging the Cuban government itself with murder, Editorials screamed that the city was in danger from armed Cuban guerrillas. But of course when the time came for his trial, the ques- tion of his politics was ‘‘irrele- vant’’--the lynchers wanted to have their cake and eat it too, Molina was sentenced to twenty by pig guards for defending him self and was put i LUMUMBA SHAKUR POLITICAL PRISONER (solitary confinement), His shoes were taken away, he had no tooth- brush, blankets, clean underwear, no mail and no commissary privi- leges and not allowed to take a shower for 25 days. Bobby Seale was bound and gagged in a chair, as he satina courtroom, A United States Dis- rict Court Judge Julius J. Hoffman, gave orders for him to be treated like this. He was also beaten and choked and almost ruptured by fas- cist, racist pigs, 1 am sure that these ameriKKKan women who went to Paris trying to find out if their husbands are alive or not didn't find anyone as mean and as low as fascist Judge Julius J, Hoffman and fas- cist Judge Marvin Murtagh from Vietnam, You see, the Prisoners of War are treated better by the so-called enemy than ameriKKKan Political Prisoners by ameriKKKans, Yes, we understand why, because they are Black and are exposing this system for what it is, These same years for second degree murder. In the meantime, the real murder- ers -- a group of Cuban counter- revolutionaries who had come from Miami to New York to start trouble -- were flown to the rial from Guatemala where they were Si AWA A ates ‘ — 5 .

NEWTON POLITICAL PRISONERS OF US FASCISM being trained by the CIA, It was their testimony that put the young Cuban worker behind bars for twenty years, But history sometimes has a fun- ny way of setting things straight. The men who helped the U.S, gov- ernment put Molina in jail found themselves behind prison bars just a few weeks later, Their Guar- emalan training had been for the Bay of Pigs invasion, where 1200 counter - reyolutionary worms were captured by the Cuban, peo- ple, Among them were a couple of thugs who had framed Fran- cisco Molina. The U.S. government found it- self in a doubly embarrassing situation, First, the invasion had failed miserably leaving it obvious to the world that the CIA had planned the whole thing. Second, there were now the 1200 prisoners being held in CUBA, The U.S,had to make efforts to get them back. It had already leaked out that the ‘‘leaders" of the invasion had been kept under lock and key at Opalocka Air Force Base by the CIA so that they wouldn’r get in the way during the affair. If the U.S. didn't get the prisoners re- leased, other embarrassing details of the ‘‘all-Cuban"” invasion would surely be told. The Kennedy Administration began negotiations with the Cuban government for a prisoner ex- change. Cuba was asking for agri- cultural supplies and medicine In exchange for the counter-revolu- tionaries -- goods kept out ot Cuba by the U,S, economic block- ade, The kingpin captured in the in- vasion was Manuel Artime--the CIA had foundhim the most “‘tract- the pigs who committed genocide on the ameriKKKun Indians and tried to rip off all of the slaves when their labor was no longer needed, A modern day example is the way that the people of Song- my and Mi Lai were treated, So you see, Judge J.

William Calley Jr. are fascist pigs who make a career out of committing genocide, So you 28 women who went to Paris to see about your husbands] Your husbands are murderers of the Vietnamese people, of Viet- namese women and children, You whose husbands were pilots and tures, The U.S, was anxious to get him back, As Secretary of the Molina De- fense Committee, | went in the fall of 1%] to visit Mr, James Don- ovan, a New York lawyer who was negotiating the prisoner exchange. His spacious office in the Wall Street area showed him to be a man with more than just a ‘*hu- manitarian”’ interest in the ex- change. | explained to him about Francisco Molina, how his case was definitely political although the charge had nothing co do with polit- ics, and that he had been framed by men who had then gone on to participate in the Bay of Pigs in- vasion. I asked that Molina be freed in the prisoner exchange. Donovan's answer was that he could do nothing in this regard, since Molina was under the juris- diction of the New York State courts and was a convicted mur- derer. But cables from Cubans contin- ued to pour into our little office, by the hundreds, showing the ex- treme concern of the Cuban peo- ple for their brother who had been railroaded to jail in New York. And our committee kept up a campaign to free Molina, picketing the court and Governor Rocke- feller's office. Finally, the deal was made to exchange the 1200 prisoners for food and medicine. Donovan signed an agreement in Havana with Fidel Castro. He was supposedly acting for a “‘private’’ group of amer- iKKKans, but the Kennedy Admin- istration made it clear that Don- ovan was in reality an official, but secret, representative of the government, There was one prisoner who was burning and starvation, You whose husbands caused mass slaughter and used chemicals against Vier- namese people. Millions of Black people are being slaughtered by fascist ameriKKKan pigs in the United States and other places in the world, You should check out the contradictions between the case of Black political prisoners and that of James Earl Ray (the mur- derer of Martin Luther King), He was in segregation for eight months, He went to court to file a suit against cruel and unusual punishment and the judge ruled that it, was unconstitutional, Yet Black Political prisoners are held in illegal detention and the exchange for Arcime, Cuba manded the release of Franc Molina, are today in the Panther cases, Molina had already been ried ea convicted by a jury; he was sery— : ing a 20-year sentence in a state prison for murder; it seemed thar the federal governmenthad no right to intercede. The Governor of New York State was a Republican,while — ‘the President was a Democrat, ‘But all these legal problems — i vanished when the ruling class de-~ ~ cided that they had to get Artime oack, Governor Rockefeller signed a pardon, and within aday Fran- cisco Molina was on his way to Cuba, Free Territory of the amer- a iKKKas. Rockefellersopponentsin the ruling class didn’t breathe a word of criticism. All the legal fol-de-rol was swept away because the Establishment decided it was in their interest to carry out the exchange. ! The legal complications are not as great inthe case of the Panthers, since the trails have not yet taken place. It is not a question of over- ruling a jury. The Panthers could — be released immediately if thefed- eral government urged the state — authorities todropthe indictments, The legal machinery to free the imprisoned Panther brothers and sisters can he found if enough — pressure is brought to bear upon — the ruling class Establishment, And while such a possibility may seem remote to some, the Molina- Artime exchange is a clear his- torical precedent, The release of the Panthers by the pig power srructure wouldcer- tainly be a bitter pill for them to swallow, something they would have to be forced to do. But the determined struggle of the oppres- sed people has forced such con- cessions before. The Molina case is not the only — example of this. Who would have * thought that the mighty U.S. im- perialist government would get down on its knees before the Peo- ples Republic of Korea and con- fess to espionage? But that's ex- actly what happened when the US, signed a confession about thespy ship Pueblo, f The U.S. government doesn't want to admit that the Panthers — are political prisoners, prisoners taken in the war against Black amerikKKa, But the demands for ‘“(POW's for Panthers’’ exchange points this out clearly, They didn’t want to admit that Molina was a political prisoner, either, Andthey didn’t want to admit their crimes in Korea, But the struggle forced them to free Francisco Molina, — confess their crimes against the Korean people -- and the struggle is going to force themto free the Panther prisoners, By Deirdre Griswold i former Secretary of the Molina i Defense Committee and author of “'The Case of Francisco; Molina, Political Prisoner’’ thing.

They have to be exposed in thelr true sense, as __-& major part of the oppression that is known to the people, es- pecially Black, in ameriKKKa, - The oppressive pacification pro- grams that exist in the Black co- lonies today are controlled by pup- pet niggers that don’t think the People will ever wake up to this fact and will stay idle to it for another 400 years. The people are already hip to what's hap- pening, They got hip in the last three years. They understand that these uncle tom niggers aren't directly responsible but that they have to be dealt with too. The people in the Black colonies are correcting the wrong and bad factions that could attemptto steer the revolution in the wrong light in the colonies. The people are hip to who the pork chop cul- tural nationalists are, who the Black slumlords are, who the bourgeoisie colonized capitalists are what their roles are, and what they are doing to their own people to keep them just as oppressed as ever with an outlook for com- plete capitalism in the era of the 70's. The people have been taking this for to long to continue to take it any longer. They realize that these bad factions are in direct contradiction to the revolution and that these factions were shot off, at the time, into the mass con- fusions that Black people had about the worth and value of their lives, Such as, where they were from, and where they were going. Most of this confusion has been straigh- tened out, but quite a bit still exists and will be corrected by the people by any means neces- sary. We say down with the puppet niggers who lick the boots of Nixon ‘and his regime. We’ ve got some- thing for all of them--worth more than all the poverty programs of ameriKKKa. We say the people will deal with the director of the New Careers Program in Seattle, Washington, the assistant director as well as the director of the Concentrated Employment Program, and the project officer of the so-called La- bor Department of this police state, along with the punk sissy co-ordinator of New Careers, The people have the right and the power to charge and convict these fools of crimes committed against the people. Until then, they are to be labeled as enemies of the people. I pose this question to the people of Seattle, How can we sit back and do nothing about the New Careers Program that has existed in Seattle for two years by running gameson the people in the Central District? The employment problem that exists in Seattle and the rest of ameriKKKa was a _ counter- revolutionary move to keep us op- pressed, and to make us think that things really are this bad, Unem- ployment was programmed tocon- flict with achievement, success and life betterment, just as constant hunger, indecent housing and nothing to wear conflicts with the riches of a few in this nation of many people. What is the New Careers Program trying todo:meet this so-called problem with train- ing to find jobs that don’t exist and _hever will? Because if they existed, ' TRIAL AND CONVICTION there wouldn't be such a thing as unemployment, So we say that the demagogy of pacification pro- grams will have to stop. The New Careers Program in Seattle, at the end of their second year has $92,000 left in their pro- gram with big promises for more money by local mother-funder SKCEOB who mothers the funds for all the poverty programs under the guise of Community Action Programs, The guise New Careers has taken is one that tells the people in so many words or less that you fill out your application at Con- centrated Employment Program (CEP) or go there to register for New Careers, and after that you are qualified and considered eligible. Then, the CEP director refers you to the director or assistant director of New Ca- reers, and they tell you that the Program is based on the earn and learn on the job training bit. They tell you that you will go to school two days a week and work the other three days in the area that you are training, for $416.00 per month, paid on the 3ist day of each month if you are accepted, They tell you that if you keep this up for two years youwill be given job placement upon com- pletion in the specific area that you've been trained in, They also offer a punitive variety of train- ing area. Training and work in such whitewash areas as parks and recreation managing, teacher aides, parole and probation aldes, and social service assistant aides for the people to fall victim to, People have been bought out, director quoted 91 people as being ‘*successfully’’ involved in these programs, But reliable sources quote that 25 people have been forced out of one area as a whole and that there are even 60 or less people in the overall four areas, What happened to the New Careers Program that boasted an enrollment of 200 people? What's happening to government money? Why hasn't the program been ac- cepting anyone for two years, ex- cept application wise? The people say that the funds are being controlled by an agent in the state labor department, who happens to be Robert Divers, who thought he was out of the spot- light. We know who pulls punk Divers strings, - but let me tell you whose strings he pulls. He pulls the strings of uncle tom pup- pets Jim Henderson, the New Ca- reers Director, Jim Every, Con- centrated Employment Program Director, Willis Ball, Co- ordinator in New Careers, Chuck Adams, Co-ordinator In New Ca- reers, and Dave Bowen, the Assist- ant Director in New Careers, The people now, know who they are.

They have to be exposed in thelr true sense, as a major part of the oppression that is known to the people, es- pecially Black, in ameriKKKa, oppressive pacification pro- grams that exist in the Black co- lonies today are controlled by pup- pet niggers that don't think the people will ever wake up to this fact and will stay {dle to it for another 400 years, The people are already hip to what's hap- pening. They got hip in the last three years, They understand that these uncle tom niggers aren't directly responsible but that they have to be dealt with too. The people in the Black colonies are correcting the wrong and bad factions that could attempt to steer the revolution in the wrong light in the colonies. The people are hip to who the pork chop cul- tural nationalists are, who the Black slumlords are, who the bourgeoisie colonized capitalists are what their roles are, and what they are doing to their own people to keep them just as oppressed as ever with an outlook for com- plete capitalism in the era of the 70's, The people have been taking this for to long to continue to take it any longer. They realize that these bad factions are in direct contradiction to the revolution and that these factions were shot off, at the time, into the mass con- fusions that Black people had about the worth and value of their lives. Such as, where they were from, and where they were going. Most of this confusion has been straigh- tened out, but quite a bit still exists and will be corrected by the people by any means neces- sary. We say down with the puppet niggers who lick the boots of Nixon ‘and his regime, We've got some- thing for all of them--worth more than all the poverty programs of amerikKKa. We say the people will deal with the director of the New Careers Program in Seattle, Washington, the assistant director as well as the director of the Concentrated Employment Program, and the project officer of the so-called La- bor Department of this police state, along with the punk sissy co-ordinator of New Careers, The people have the right and the power to charge and convict these fools of crimes committed against the people. Until then, they are to be labeled as enemies of the people. I pose this question to the people of Seattle, How can we sit back and do nothing about the New Careers Program that has existed in Seattle for two years by running games on the people in the Central District? The employment problem that exists in Seattle and the rest of amerikKKKa was a _ counter- revolutionary move to keep us op- pressed, and to make us think that things really are this bad. Unem- ployment was programmed tocon- flict with achievement, success and life betterment, just as constant hunger, indecent housing and nothing to wear conflicts with the riches of a few in this nation of many people. What is the New Careers Program trying todo:meet this so-called problem with train- ing to find jobs that don't exist and never will? Because If they existed, ' as unemployment. So we say that the demagogy of pacification pro- grams will have to stop. The New Careers Program in Seattle, at the end of their second year has $92,000 left in their pro- gram with big promises for more money by local mother-funder SKCEOB who mothers the funds for all the poverty programs under the guise of Community Action Programs, The guise New Careers has taken is one that tells the people in so many words or less that you fill out your application at Con- centrated Employment Program (CEP) or go there to register for New Careers, and after that you are qualified and considered eligible, Then, the CEP director refers you to the director or assistant director of New Ca- reers, and they tell you that the program is based on the earn and learn on the job training bit. They tell you that you will go to school two days a week and work the other three days in the area that you are training, for $416.00 per month, paid on the S3ist day of each month if you are accepted, They tell you that if you keep this up for two years youwill be given job placement upon com- pletion in the specific area that you've been trained in, They also offer a punitive variety of train- ing area. Training and work in such whitewash areas as parks and recreation managing, teacher aides, parole and probation aides, and social service assistant aides for the people to fall victim to, People have been bought out, director quoted 91 people as being **successfully’’ involved in these programs, But reliable sources quote that 25 people have been forced out of one area as a whole and that there are even 60 or less people in the overall four areas. What happened to the New Careers Program that boasted an enrollment of 200 people? What's happening to government money? Why hasn't the program been ac- cepting anyone for two years, ex- cept application wise? The people say that the funds are being controlled by an agent in the state labor department, who happens to be Robert Divers, who thought he was out of the spot- light. We know who pulls punk Divers strings, -but let me tell you whose strings he pulls. He pulls the strings of uncle tom pup- pets Jim Henderson, the New Ca- reers Director, Jim Every, Con- centrated Employment Program Director, Willis Ball, Co- ordinator in New Careers, Chuck Adams, Co-ordinator in New Ca- reers, and Dave Bowen, the Assist- ant Director in New Careers. The people now, know who they are. You have been exposed! They demand that the 12 available slots be filled now! That all ofthe people that have been forced out of the program be reinstated or replaced immediately.

We could overlook or disregard this case and tell ourselves that it was just a prison guard, a policeman, doing his job, but in light of other reported cases that tell of similar incidents, moves must be made to stop the wanton murder of prisoners and it is up to the people of this society to protect these men who are paying their ‘‘debts'’ to us, They were prisoners, but no man deserves to be made into a sitting duck for a guard's target shooting. These men paying a so-called ‘‘debt to society’’ are deprived of their civil rights and so have been left at the mercy of the pri- son officials and guards whose thinking capacities must be severly limited If a guard decides to dis- band a group of prisoners by FREE MEDICAL CARE FOR OUR PEOPLE ALL POWER TO THE “SPURGEON JAKE WINTERS —PEOPLE’S MEDICAL CENTER say all power to the BS Jake"!

Perhaps some peo- ple, loyal patrotic members of the now shrinking ‘‘silent majority!' will be able to shrug this case off, but for other people, the con- cerned portion of the ameriKKKan public, the fact thatthe same guard is still performing the same duties and carrying his same gun will cause them to stop and look very closely into what is happening in the institution that is responsible for the ‘frehabllitation'’ of those who have not conformed to this society's values and ways of think- ing. This is not the only such case, not more than a month before, several prisoners were killed in Indiana and many more wounded while lying face down: shot in the back of the head by a guard carrying a shotgun. Hundreds of other cases may have occured, who knows the true count of prisoners killed In similar incidents within the stone walls that hold them away from the society at large. These two cases alone, however, should be enough to arouse the ire of the amerikKKKan people. These men are prisoners, having com- mitted acts unacceptable in this power that the people possess to solve their own problems. Notonly does it testify, but it serves as an example to other services which the people can initiate, Open everyday, except Saturday, from 65:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and patients with varied complaints, from lacerations to ulcers, Also, people who needed physical check- ups have come and everybody has been served, Equipment and monetary dona- tions are needed so that the med- ical center can represent what you, the people, deserve--the best.

Again, ‘All Power to the Peo- ple's Medical Care Center," i t > eb 2 son. ot society or being persons who the society found it impossible to deal with for one reason or another, but no one has the right to judge them and execute them In sucha manner. If we allow this type of action to continue, then we might as well help to build the gas show- ers and torture rooms, and pre- Pare ourselves for the murders and the mass burials that will be- come a reality. If we look away now, our silence will endorse the actions of paid killers who hold the answer to the question of life or death for thousands of men in their hands, men who are unimportant in the minds of some people be- cause they are prisoners of the State,,..these men will become the victims ofthe ameriKKKan system, Having been stripped of all their civil rights by the judicial syste, the guards now strip away their- last bit of human dignity by mak- ing them live like hunted animals expecting death at any moment. They have little recourse as a group; the prisoners at Soledad went on a hunger strike but could not maintain the strike in signi- ficant numbers, Concerned amer- iKKKans and other people of the world, therefore, musttake a stand now and move in a decisive man- ner leaving no room for such acts by individuals working within the penal system, We must make our voices heardand our desires known by demonstrating, writing letters, even picketing the offices of pri- son authorities, going to any lengths to make sure that prisoners are not subjected to the every whim of their guards and are not made the victims of this soclety. When this type of situation Is allowed to occur within our country and little public sentiment ts a- roused, it is little wonder that men would rather die outside than goto prison, The truth in cases such as this is almost never know, and the number of cases bearing resem- blance to this one will remain hidden in the minds of penal system officials who will never tell, The prison system is archaic and will continue worsening until the public does something to put an end to the brutality and murder being perpetrated against the men who are behind those bars of prison. Eldridge Cleaver, the Minister of Information of the Black Panther Party, chose exile rather than re- turn to prison...He said that if returned to prison, he would be killed; with the murderous at- tempts being made against the leadership of the Black Panther Party taken into consideration and indiscriminate murders taking place within the confines of prison, his statement has the ring of truth, We must not, however, look upon ~TETANU Tetanus is a bacterial infection which grows in abcesses in the arm where a person shoots dope, The tetanus organism secretes a nerve poison that is power- ful that the amount of tetanus equal to the amount of ink used to print a period would kill 30 adult men. Tetanus is the most powerful Poison known to man. The effects of tetanus are that it paralyzes the spinal nerves, making the mus- cles rigid so that breathing is im- possible and a patient dies inhours from suffocation, There is no tr2atment for tetanus. The body processes must recover on their own. But a patient can be in an anesthesia state for weeks or months until the natural body pro- cess overcomes the disease. Five out of six people with tet- anus died last year at Harlem hospital, All were dope addicts. The only one that survived had, had one tetanus shot, (A series of three shots over’a six month period will torally prevent the disease for 12 years.) This has been known to people in the med- ical profession for over 50 years but the addict population of central Harlem remains unimmunized, ‘There are virtually no serious re- actions to tetanus toxoid shots and they do not interfere with heroine or methadon, 80 The power structure has made no attempt to stop the dope which is poured into our community every single day for 24 hours a day by the greedy mafioso businessmen because it wants to see all Black people nodding. The power struc- ture has made no attempt to stop tetanus by educating the people about the most powerful poison known to medicine, teranus. In 1969, people continue to die from the tetanus germ. Not only does the power structure kill or mur- der our people by coming into our communities on ‘‘destroy andthen search missions’ as it did in Chicago for our warriors, Deputy chairman Fred Hampton and De- fense Captain Mark Clark (mur- dered Dec. 4th by Chicago’s fas- cist pigs) but ic wages a war of genocide, silent war of genocide against all poor people all over the world by using undercover tac- ticis such as endorsing the dope market, by giving the largest amerikKKKan syndicate the free ticket to enter all Black, Brown and poor White communities with their number one care package, death. The capitalist pigs who think only of profit and how much money they can squeeze out of our people see a death from tetanus as a death not equal to the weight of two dead flies. This is why the Black Panther Party will always speak out a- gainst this dog eat dog capitalist Society. This is why the Black Panther Party will always be mov- ing in such a way as to change a System that is inhuman, the cap- italist system. We are all about changing this system of war and violence against the majority of people into a system that be- longs to all of the people. All of the people.

THE BARREL OF AGUN. oy A Chicago Tribune article, ‘Pan- ther Free Food Project Barely Alive’, appeared on Janwt +y 13, stating that no more than 44 chil- dren were being fed in the Pro- gram. The article went on to strongly imply that the Black Pan- ther Party feeds so few children until the program hardly exists; yet, the Party still collects dona- tlons for the Program. Allegedly on January 12, the Tri- bune investigated four of our Breakfast for Children Centers. Note that generalizations were made as a result of this one day of investigation, As stated by the Tribune: ‘At two of the locations, Trinity Lutheran Church, Hobbie and Larrabee Streets, the doors were locked * What was the actual Situation? The center at 4837 S, State has temporarily been closed, Why? To answer, first background informa- tion needs to be given. Chicago police and the Gang Intelligence unity have, as one of their con- Sistent practices, the habit of at- tending our Breakfast Programs, and we assure you that it is not to get fed, since members of the police department hardly qualify as hungry children. Andthey aren't there to assist us, since not one of the 5-10 that attend each cen- ter has come forth to cook, or serve, or donate food etc, Andthey certainly don't act as crossing guards, since members of the Party themselves, have had toper- form this function, Since they aren't involved in the services famed, then what they are really there for can readily be seen. Too many mornings Party mem- bers have been police intimidated (taken to police stations because of improper identification, a phony charge; snatched In front of a center and taken on a ‘ride’ that locates the Panther miles away from the center; charged with dis- orderly conduct, which ts equiva- CHICAGO TRIBUNE BREAKFAST PROGR lent to walking and breathing) The Policing of the centers has also had an effect onthe children, in that they too feel intimidated. Police take photos of them, a measure used to create fear, as if their Presence alone isn't enough, As & result, participation in the Pro- gram has dropped, All of this perverted harassment {s designed for us to stop feed- ing hungry children. But the ex- tent of the harassment doesn't end there. In reference to the BFC Program at 4837S State, the pigs have often taken it upon themselves to illegally enter through back doors, and proceed with any action they deem nueessary, La thise1 2 the heattag systum was Uehin-- sabotaged. Because the problems at the South side center have stemmed from pigs-not the people- we don’t see this act of vandal- ism as being committed by any of the people. What would be their motive, since it is their children who we feed? As they have often destroyed breakfast foods, destroying the heating system is entirely con- sistent with their policy of sabo- tage. Nevertheless, we're not go- ing to be stopped and are in the Process of repairing the heating system, By Monday, January 19, if not before, the center will again be in operation. At the Breakfast Center on the North side, 1101 N, Larrabee, on the morning in question, Monday January 12, the Gang Intelligence Unit surrounded the Breakfast Center and started harassing Pan- thers; consequently, toprevent any further trouble from occuring, the Center was closed early. The bla- tant Ife that the doors were locked and no children were fed can easily be disproved upon questioning of the children in that area, Break- fast WAS HELD at that center. At Our Lady of the Gardens BFC Center, Chicago police were on hand taking photos of those kids who were about to enter the center. Such a police atmosphere frightened the children and con- sequently, attendance dropped. And at the West side center, 48 N. Hoyne, GIU, made its pre- Sence known. (Just last week, at the time of the breakfast, the GIU kidnapped Stephen Hobbs, a Pan- ther who used to open the Cen- ter, and took him on a ‘ride’ that ended on east 63rd street. This was to prevent the operation of the program.) GIU took pic- tures of Panthers entering and exiting. At all of the centers, no mem- bers of the Tribune staff entered, or tried to enter, or were inter- viewed by anyone from the Party, nor were these reporters seen any where around. Perhaps, saying that nobody representing the Tribune was there, is a bit premature. GIU was there. The Chicago police were there. Perhaps, a second look will reveal that these two, press and police, were acting together, And In this case, the police acted as an extension of the press--‘the informers that don't write.’ Asa matter of fact, the police didn't even accurately inform, But if you know anything about the Tribune, then you know that the newspaper will graciously accept and print anything: fantasy, delirium, opin- lon, lie, etc,, as long as it rein- forces the gagging voice of con- servatism, racism, and capital- ism. The Tribune has taken as its eredo, ‘The newspaper is an in- Stitution developed...to inform and lead public opinion.’ Wow! But why do we even bother to respond ‘when most progressive people are aware of the fact that the Tribune wields the pento wield racism? We respond because what the Tribune is doing typifies what the press is doing on a national Sscale--villifying and slandering the Party 4o produce Party non- Support. It is mentally enslaving People to a system that is unbene- ficial to them, You see, ameriKKKan capital- ists, whoown and control the means of production, distribution, and in- struments such as the press and the police, have told the pigs to shoot us. And they do.,.with their guns, They have aisotold the press to shoot us. And they do.,.with their print.

The Pigs Can Only Try To Destroy The Free Breakfast Spirit THE NEED FOR SconES AS you know, the Richmond Pig Dept, has been trying to stop the hungry children from eating every morning by spreading vicious, slanderous les about the Black Panther Party. They have contin- uously tried to make the Party and the people within the Party appear an enemy of the millions of poor people in ameriKKKa, Since Huey came up with the most concrete theory and revolutionary Practice to help the poor and op- pressed being murdered and rob- bed by the ruling class and their Puppets such as the pig police- men, the people working directly with the Black Panther Party could see clearly what the reaction of the pig power structure would be upon the Party and anyone who looked as if they agreed with the demands and socialist programs being established. There {s one catch here; how- ever, the murders and intimidation of the people In the Party are only a continuation of what has been happening to the poor andop- Pressed long before the Party was developed to show the world that this was happening and the correct method of dealing with it here in ameriKKKa. What we have seen Over and over again is that the People do not listen to the Mes Circulating in the community. The humber of children coming to the Breakfast has increased steadily with the exception of temporary fall offs that have always picked up in a matter of days. Even the children are aware of the pigs’ madness. They learn at a very young age how difficult It is to come to u free breakfast without the constant reminder of ple oc- cupation in their community and constant police harassment, We realize all these things about racist ameriKKKa and the poor people who are suffering realize this too. These programs, such as the Free Breakfast, Clothing, etc., were developed out of the basic needs of hard working people in poor communities all across the nation. These programs are your programs, They are here to bring the people closer together to make them independent and strong-to be able to stand united against the fascist, foul, depraved govern- ment. These are community pro- jects for the people in the com- munity, by the people in the com- munity. It takes little effort and brings much joy to hungry child- ren Let us have full pas'cipation, YOUTH MAKE THE REVOLU- TION Richmond Branch Black Panther Party COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTERS | yew jersey All thoughout decadent Babylon, wherever there is a Black Panther Party Branch or Chapter, the pigs have used overt fascism in an Organized effort to destroy the Party, They actually believed that the Black community would stand by and allow genocide to be com- mitted against the Party and event- ually against themselves, We real- ize that in order to be closer to the people within the Black com- munity, it Is hecessary that we locate ourselves among the masses, This is the purpose of opening community information centers inside the Black com- munity, to get closer tothe people, and for the people to be closer to the Party. These community centers are set up primarily as bases in the community for the people to identify with, work in, and to claim as their own, The centers are not just geared towards a certain age group of People in the Black comimunity, but rather for all segments ofthe community, We of the Black Panther Party realize that the pigs of the power Black Students Union- Laney The Laney 8.5.U. would like co ‘establish communications with all People who are taking an active _ Part in the resistance to destroy _ ©ppression, racism, and fascism, _ There is an urgent need to put orth a national concerted effort to 24 aid oppressed people in their just str , J ‘Strugsle for survival and Mbera- + _ There is also a need to bring in- tae | se a ee 4 to being a united front to support Mberation struggles athome anda- broad.

A Community Information Cen- ter in all is something that will draw the masses closer to the Party and the Party closer to the masses. Then and only then, will we be able to truly unite and mobilize aginst U.S, fascism in ameriKKKa, and world im- perialism being spread bythe U S, fascist and destroy it completely - wholely and resolutely.

They came and milled around then left. At approximatily 1:00 there were eight people in the office; the of- fice was riddled with bullets fired from an automatic or a semi-auto- matic weapons, no one was injured, We left the office at approximately 1:30, We returned to the office this” morning to find about 10 or 1S pigs Standing outside the office. The pigs stated that it was a high mis- demeanor that the office had been shot upand that they would have to have an investigation. They said that they were being nice by wait- ing for us to open the door but that they would enter the building whether we opened the door or not, They entered the building and star- ted their investigation at 9:30 am which wenton until justnow 2:00pm «. The investigation ended with the pigs ripping the door off the of- fice without a warrant, and without having been summoned down here. There were 11 pigs here atthe time the door was ripped off; about 9 of them were local pigs and about 2 or 3 were federal pigss They took theplywood on the door and repk their own.

To talk about building: an ‘In- dependent Economy"' with others’ money, others’ raw material, others’ goods andothers’ strength, as you all know, is as ridicu- lous as talking about fishing in a mountain. And there are many other ludicrous things. We may construe that ‘Independent Econ- omy’ much advertised by Pak Jung Hi in South Korea means, to be brief, a dependent economy and ‘*modernization’’ means ‘‘Ameri- canization’’ and ‘‘Japanization’’, A reporter of KCNA; You are quite right. You hit the nail on the head when you said we may construe the ‘independent econ- omy'' on the lips of the Pak Jung Hi traitorous clique means a dependent economy and their ‘modernization’. means ‘‘ Ameri- canization’’ and‘‘Japanization.’? It is beyond dispute when the American rascals and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique, by origin, are aggression accustomed to describing as ‘‘aid'’, treachery PRESS CONFERENCE as ‘‘patriotism’'and dependence as **independence’’, as you know, You must have already heard about the incident of the ‘Pueblo’ and the incident of the spy plane. In the incident of the ‘Pueblo'’ and the incident of the spy plane, the U.S imperialists signed letters of apology for their brigandish, ag- £ressive acts against the northern half of the Republic, and firmly pledged not to perpetrate such acts again. But how did things go? As you know, they have kept commit- ting since then the manoeuvres for the provocation of an ag- gressive war against the northern half of the Republic. Have you anything to say about this? Yu Byong Ha: What the Ameri- can rascals and the Pak Jung Hi clique are now doing is all for the Provocation of a new war, we may say, The Pak Jung Hi clique have gone the extent of declaring a ‘tax war'* to turn the pockets of the people inside out. They leave no stone unturned ina drive to collect the staggering taxes to the tune of three hundred thousand mil- lion won. This is all for raising funds needed in the preparations for a war, | believe, Their much-vanted “ Moderni- zation” is aimed at militarizing the South Korean economy and ‘“‘eonstruction of rapid-transit road’ and ‘“‘harbor construction" also are all for the preparation of a war, The American rascals and the Pak Jung Hi clique are now stag- ing numerous war exercises in the air, on the sea and land under the name of ‘‘focus retina’ opera- tien and so forth, bringing in suc- cession many aircraft, warships and new-type weapons from the United States, Choe Sok Man: Besides the army in active service, there are the reservists in South Korea. This is how we judge the thing, Why on earth should more than two million South Korean youths be armed? You journalists here just said that the American raseals per- sist in aggressive acts after signing letters of surrender and pledging not to commit bar- barities again, The rascals blab: “There is the threat of ‘invasion of the South’. We are preparing a war against possible agres- sion." Yu Byong Ha: The scoundrels wrote even letters of apology not once but two or three times after committing aggressive acts a- gainst the northern half of the Re- public, and yet they call aggres- sion ‘‘defense’', They must be the villains who are accustomed to speaking the reverse, I think. A reporter of the Korean Cen- tral Broadcasting Committee: We would ike to hear about this. The crimes of aggression and treachery committed by the US. imperialists and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique have very grave con- sequences in the cultural field, too. Wouldn't you tell us about the crimes of the villains who have Obliterated national culture and te ans poisoned out beautiful customs and manners in South Korea? Choe Sok Man: Yes, I will say a few words about this matter as | think, In fact, the U S, scoundrels, hav- ing crept into South Korea, are today playing the master there. So, it is quite natural that na- tional culture peculiar to us has almost withered away. It can be said that the so-called “films on gangsterism’’ of the Yankees and ‘Japanese culture’ have taken their place to contamin- ate South Korean society totally. Such things are under fire even in South Korea, To take an in- stance, there happened such a thing. Some years ago a daughter ofa dignitary went to the United States to study. After studying therefor three years she returned home, She arrived at the Kimpo airport. As you think, many of her rela- tives turned out to see her. What surprised people was that she said she had completely lost the Korean language during that time and could speak only in English, Even those who came out to see her were confounded, But, I think, this 1s not simply a laurhing matter, We think we must see that foreign culture is completely cor- roding our national spirit. Of course, this is an extreme in- stance, In South Korea those who interlard their talk with so many foreign words that one can hardly know whether they are speaking in English, Japanese orKorean can pass for ‘‘cultured men", As is the case with language. clothes and dressing fashion, wonien's dressing fashion in par- ticular, all such things are fol- SOUTH KOREAN lowing the corrupt American style. This is the case with music and movies too. Vulgar Japanese songs grate upon one’s ears and in the cinema houses only ‘Yellow films’ and “films on gang- sterism" are screened. The same is the case with TV and radio broadcasting and newspapers, to say nothing of books and maga- zines in bookstores, Is there anything youths and children growing up in these cir- cumstances should learn from? This is why all kinds of in- numeralbe horrible crimes--mur- der, rape, robbery, etc.--are ram- pant in South Korean society, Chairman: As you said, goings- on in South Korea are deplorable indeed, We can understand it all the more clearly as we hear. We can say, it is only natural that today the South Korean peo- ple should fight as they do now against the U.S imperialHsts and their puppets, Pak Jung Hi clique. - Yu Byong Ha: Yes it is. A reporter of Pyongyang Sin- mum: We can hardly hear with- out indignation. We think that all the rottendirts of South Korea can be swept away only when the U S. scoundrels are driven out of South Korea and the fatherland is unified as soon as possible. 4 We cannot keep down national in- dignation each time the U.S scoun- drels insult people, murder them at random and humiliate them in South Korea. Yu Byong Ha: Of course, we can- not, I attended a chemical school in Alabama State, the U.S A , for nearly three months in nineteen sixty-two. At that time I had suf- fered a lot of insults by the U.S, rascals. I cannot forget that I was forced to walk along the road for Negroes only, Insult, humiliation and murder-- such acts committed against the South Korean people by the US, villains entrenched in South Korea are jnnumberable, not counting those reported by South Korean newspapers these days, we think. The U.S. rascals are shooting people to death or killing them by running cars over them for mere fun of it, and beating and insulting them. Owing to such out- Tages not a day passes in South Korea without our fellow country- men shedding their blood and not a day passes without our kith and Kin being insulted, Choe Sok Man: Yet Pak Jung Hi, the villain, vindicates the Yankee scoundrels each time they commit such outrages, Yu Byong Ha: Yes, it's true, How can he as the running dog of the U.S. rascals act otherwise? Through my experience of life in South Korea 1 realized that as long as the U.S imperialists and their lackeys are left as they are, the masses of the people cannot be freed from the wretched plight of today nor can the unification of the fatherland be achieved, Therefore, 1 supported and ex- pressed sympathy with the school youths who rose up in the strug- gle against: the ‘constitutional amendment for third term elec- tion’’ of the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique, whichis. unable to repress national indignation, A reporter of KCNA: That's right. It is quite natural that the South Korean people are fighting against the U.S. imperialists and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique. As long as the great sunrays of Marshal Kim I] Sung, the sun of our nation, are spreading over the South Korean people, they will fight with a firmer confidence and certainly win victory in the end. Choe Sok Man: Yes. I will tell you what I saw and felt about this in South Korea. It is true that today the masses of the people in South Korea are living subjected to indescribable hardships under the oppression of the aggressors, But the South Korean people are living with con- fidence and fighting with staunch- hess not losing hope because Premier Kim Il Sung, our leader, is in the North, All people in South Korea from children to grey-haired aged folk know well about Premier Kim IL Sung who fought down the Japa- nese imperialists, the enemy, for the long period of fifteen years, personally pulling through all kinds of trials and difficulties in the eal PILOTS HIJACK PLANE TO NORTH KOREA thick forests of Paekduand the yast plans for the great cause ofthe re- storation of the fatherland and re- stored the Jost Country, They rega- rd it as the highest glory and hap piness to have him as the great leader of the nation and cherish it as their greatest desire in their life to be under the politics of the Premier even onee during their lifetime, So, the hope of the South Korean people today is to be embraced in the warm bosom of the Premier, our leader, The only desire of the South Korean people is to live under the warm solicitude of the Premier at the earliest date, We can no longer tolerate such aSituation in which the fatherland is partitioned, The South Korean people are fighting to bringas early as possible the day when the coun- try will be unified and the bro- thers and sisters of the North and South will live in happiness, be- fore the respected and beloved leader is sixty years old, Yu Byong Ha: Indeed, the people in South: Korea infinitely respect und adore Premier Kim H Sung who came from among the masses of the people for the first time in che five thousand year old history of our nation and is carrying on a government for the masses ot the people and performing the greatest and new political exploits of national prosperity, The people in towns and yil- lages are eagerly waiting for the day when the politics of the Pre- mier will be extended to the whole of South Korea, saying that as the Premier was born with the Spirit of Mt, Paekdu-san, he ere- ated the wonders of nature, appear- ing in the east ,this moment and in the west, next moment when he was fighting against the Japa- nese imperialists, the enemy. I firmly believe that the day wil] surely come when the brothers and sisters of the North and South will embrace each other in the presence of the Premier on the plaza of unification. As you have said just now, it is beyond all doubts that the day of national unification will come before long. A reporter of Choguk Tongil: Now, please tell us what you felt after you were embraced in the bosom of the socialist fatherland where there is Premier Kim II Sung. Yu Byong Ha: Yes, I will speak, What we felt after we were em- braced in the bosom of the father- land where there is Premier Kim Nl Sung, the great sun ofthe nation, the fatherland which we had always longed for in our hearts makes us unable to repress boundless joy and pride, _ When I was intheSauth, I direct- ly heard that the economy has developed and the people are all living well off in the northern half. But I had never imagined that it {is so wonderful as we see now. After we took a northern course and flew over the demarcation line I saw big factories emitting smoke from their chimneys, and when t commanded a view of beautiful cities and rural villages where modern dwelling houses were standing in rows, I thought this is my genuine fatherland, At this thought my eyes were dimmed with tears. Choe Sok Man: I felt a lot of things. After I set foot in the North, I saw everything here is quite different from South Korean society where the Yankee scound- rels are entrenched, In cities built fn all grandeur, tall buildings are standing in rows. Not a sin- gle beggar jobless person or child roaming about carrying an emp- ty can could be seen, People walking along the streets were vivacious, full of life. The faces of boys carrying satchels were all overflowing with smiles, happiness and hope, Yu Byong Ha: Seeing the bril- liant realities of the northern half, I also came to have a conviction that no matter what slanders and calumnies such scoundrels as Pak Jung Hi may heap on the northern half, he can never dampen the sentiments of the people of South Korea longing for the northern half of the Republic. Chae Sok Man: Though I heard when I was in the South, I realized all the more clearly, seeing the full-significant realities with my own eyes, that the very socialist system in which Premier Kim n Sung is carrying on a Government is the best system under which people can live in freedom and happiness, My heart aches when I think that the South Korean people are suf- fering in a dark land with this splendid system and this splendid society within a calling distance, The unification of the father- land is a question whose solution. brooks not a moment's delay, I think, We must drive out the Yankee scoundrels and unify the fatherland independently at the earliest date so that the brothers and sisters in South Korea may also live in a bright society, We will devote all our wisdom — and energies as young men of intelligence for the day when the South Korean people will get rid of the present misfortunes and suf- ferings and lead a happy life in the warm bosom of Premier Kim Il Sung, the great leader of the nation, SS urtates Chairman: We have had good talks. Comrade reporters, have you anything more to ask? Well, a lot of time has passed. We should like — Se close the press conference of Yi Paper Presented by Supporters of: THE POPULAR FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF PALESTINE During the turbulent twenty years since 1948, the Arab World has witnessed the rise and fall of traditional political movements of all sort, color, and kind. The com- mon characteristic that these movements shared was their ina- bility to grasp the full dimensions of the struggle, their lack of ideo- logy and the lack of a well de- fined political program. The ab- sence of all these fundamental re- quirements Isolated them from the people, which brought about their inevitable disintegration. If this is true in the case of traditional Arab nationalist move- ments, it is especially true of the traditional communist parties, whose political mistakes in the past twenty years are too numerous to count, and too cumbersome to handle, These parties proved time and time again that they have no satisfactory solutions to the pro- blems that face the Arab World today. At the time the Arab workers’ and peasants’ political conscious- ness grew, which has posed a tre- mendous threat to the Arab ruling classes that allied themselves with the ex- and neo-colonial powers t he middle classesand Arabbour-" geoisie's leaders, who preach “moderation”, felt that an urgent political change was needed The petty bourgeoisie was well Suited forthis role by its posi. tion in the Arab society. The ma- jority of the natlon’s inteHectuals, cfvil servants; and army officers came from this olfiss. The tasks which were allotted to-this néw and inexperienced class werg: To divert the rising political consciousness from the real is~ sues by_offering the | working clissesake substitutes forsoclal= To monopolize the govérnment and politicalgnstitutions by intro- duc their version of military dictatorships and “fone party'’ rule... ete, ‘To proclaim thémsélves as the new crusaders for regaining Pale- oo by heaping millions of.dole lapagih thelremintaryebudgets-to finance their pre-World Warwit armies, Both the older Arab ruling classes who presided over the de- feat of 1948 and 1956, and the new ruling classes who presided over the defeat of 1967, proved their Ekstra Bladet, Dec.17th 1%9 total failure and bankruptcy, The defeat of 1967, which the Arab people suffered at the hands of Israel and US. imperialists, brought further realization to the Arab people that conventional war- fare is not thetype of solutionto their problem. Because no matter how modern and sophisticated an army they build, Israel and their imperialist backers and sponsors can out-match it with their unli- mited resources and technical know-how thus destroying what- ever achievement gained, Amid all this, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) was born, Upon the reali- zation of the inherent contradic- tions of these bourgeois Arab movements, the PFLP came into existence as an expression of the national awareness that without a popular armed struggle with an ideological base, Palestine will never be liberated, It is through scientific-socialist analysis of the Arab society, and the historical responsibility to lead, educate, and guide the masses of workers and peasants to liberate themselves, their land, and their right to self- determination, that necessitated the birth of the PFLP. For this reason the PFLP from the very moment of its birth struck a deep root in the Palestinian people and was immediately recognized as an uncompromising leader. Since 1948 the Palestinian pea- Sants and Workers have been sys- tematically abandoned in the pra- cess of the struggle, by both the bourfeois \ political movements, and the communist parties. These masses of workers and peasants were lefteii@ipless, unarmed, and bewildered in the face of a vi- cious enemy, As a result, they were forced. 40 move from ane refugee Camp to another. The PFLP has firmly rejected all bourgeois solutions and com- promises and started from the cars rect point, ~which is the res education ofthe masses;~and the openifige Of ptheir eyes to the de- funet andeStagnant solutions of the ruling’ classes, For,this reason the PREP--has opendd ‘ts! own sehools in the refugee camps. Fur- thermore,..it'firovides™ 3 political Te-education for its-owli fighters and the masses, which is based on understanding the manifesta- tions of imperialism and the con- tradictions of bourgeois society. The PFLP fully realizes that the struggle must be a total Tevolu- tion, For this the Palestinian women have been given an equal share of duties in the carrying of the struggie. The PFLP at this stage of the struggle, distinguishes between the bourgeois and the feudal lords that already identify with the imperial- ists (i.e. Kings Faisal, Hassan, and Hussein) and the national pe- tit bourgeoisie whose interests are still with the masses. The PF LP tries to cooperate with thispetty bourgeoisie and attempts to build a unified front against a com- mon enemy. But the leadership of the revolution shall not pass into the hands of the bourgeoisie, For this the PFLP is falsely and ma- liclously accused of standing in the way of national unity. Within the context ofthe PFLP’s political program, the Arab masses are continually reminded that their struggle is not only a- gainst Israel, but rather against the racist Zionist movement and its imperialist supporters and the Arab reactionariesthat carry their programs. Identifying the enemy as such, the struggle should be carried at all levels. The PFLP has made it clear that it will not join force with the bourgeois national movements unless they define the enemy explicitly, and agree on a strategic program ac- ceptable to all, PFLP maintains that national unity is not deter- mined by the number ofconference seats and bureaucratic arrange- ment Unity is ip.action, strategy and political stabd of the revolu- tion, The PFLP has always been try- ing to expose the bourgeois mis- cotception of revolutionary strug- gid).by explaining to the Pales- tinjan masses that their strug- gieagainst Zionism is an inte- gral|part of the world revolution against impérialism-capitalism, and that it is pot ah isolated bat- te against Israel. Thus the rev- Olution, cannot be victorious by be- ing *‘non=political’’ or neutral at home or abroad as the bourgeois “revolationary’’ movements are trying to-do, The-PPLP identifies its strug- giewith’ the heroic struggle of the Vietnamese, the Angolans, the Cubans, the Afro-Americans, and the-International Revolution; LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION LONG LIVE THE UNITY OF ALL FREEDOM-FIGHTERS WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS PALESTINIAN B.P.P.

The desperate situation following the American police's murder of two prominent Panthers, was dis- on who cussed, even though, this has been a heavy blow for American fascism to be continued and strengthened, Concerning his reason for not daring to enter Denmark, Howard stated that last Saturday, he had been expelled from Germany and sent to Paris, ° He was afraid that all NATO- countries had been told to expel any member of the Panther Party, Howard, who had started his tour of information in Japanfour months ago, told about his experiences in Germany: ** What happened in Frankfurt, was another proof of the fact that sev- eral European countries support the war of extermination that the American imperialists have waged against the Black Panthers, A couple of weeks ago, lenteredGer- many without any trouble, but when = BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1970 PAGE 13 New Year S Greetings From The Zimbabwe African National Union Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) News LNS LUSAKA, Zambia (LNS) - Our vote for the most significant e- vent of the decade just ended goes not to Neil Armstrong and the machines that put him on the moon’s surface. Our vote goes to brother guerrillas in South Viet Nam who, by administering a hu- miliating defeat of ameriKKKan militarism, have helped in demon- strating the invincibility of Peo- ple’s Wars. We expect, as a re- sult of Viet Nam, that those who have been spending billions of dol- lars developing machines and chemical poisons for ‘‘limired after all, is a people's struggle, not a platform for ideological dip- lomats. As such the people, the trueheroesof thisrevolution, have a right to ask themselves the question: What after indepen- dence? And those who would seek refuge in militant racism (‘We must have our country from the Whitemen’’) must be exposed with courage for the opportunists they are, because of such stuff are born the wealthy Black bwanas of the era of post independence. What after independence? is a question so crucial it can only be answered ZIMBABWE LIBERATION FIGHTERS ” wars try have learned enough to dare again during the next decade. This humiliating lesson applies to both the imperialist powers and resident colonialists in Southern Africa, where the already inten- sifying armed struggle will most certainly graduate into more fully fledged revolutions within the first half the 1970s. And if the last decade belonged to the Asian guerrillas, the next will belong to the armed Blacks of Zimbabew, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Guinea-Bissau and South Africa. But here the tempo and scope of our struggle and the quality of its ultimate victory cannot and must not be abandoned to chance or the unknown whims of so- called Providence. of AS we enter a most crucial decade in the history of our Southern African sub-continent it is necessary that our objectives be spelled out clearly. For this, “BIG MAN” . MIN.

Thus the problems of ideological orientation and disciplined organ- ization will be confronting allofus in our respective countries. We must face them and deal with both boldly rather than waste most of our time fussing about bureau- cratic titles (‘Which ministry shall be mine after independence’’) in the safety of foreign capitals.

Some specific observations are as follow: 1, Party leadership seemed to be determined by personal pull with Gentry rather than by merit, 2. Welch was appointed Field Lieutenant despite the fact that he was then being prosecuted (con- victed on guilty plea) for several counts of forgery--a non-political felony. 3. Welch finally split for parts unknown to avoid probation revo- cation (which would never have been revoked or threatened if he had been the least bit careful)-- taking with him several hundred dollars of the people’s money with the blessings of the Party leader- ship. He also left the people with $3,000 in bail obligations, 4. Commandism was the rule of the day, with Gentry, Welch and Bellamy issuing orders with- out group discussion, 5. The leadership continually spouted rhetoric, while failing to engage in reading, study, and self- criticism, Even Bellamy, incharge of information, failed to engage in serious study, (by his own ad- mission), 6. The leadership concentrated Party efforts on speaking around the state and in the White col- leges and universities, while fail- ing to organize within the Black community, 7, The leadership on several occa- sions knew about members car- rying concealed weapons and did nothing to discourage such prac- tices--the net result being that at least five brothers, including Bel- lamy, were charged with or con- victed of carrying concealed wea- Pons (up to one year in Wisconsin), 8. The leadership, by word and example, encouraged the member- ship to go about Party business while stoned (grass, pills and/or wine). Gentry, Welch and Bellamy were constantly stoned on Party time and made no secret about it, In fact, they often used to joke about the Party rule--while getting stoned! 9, Much of the leadership's time was taken up strutting aroundtheir favorite tavern (Torans’) trying to impress as many women as pos- sible with ‘‘Panther’’ bravado. 10. The leadership continually practiced male chauvinism. 11. Even though the lawyers had prepared a draft of the police de- centralization petition soon after the July conference, the leader- ship didn’t get around to even look- ing at it for a period of at least two months, 12, Although three brothers have been held in lieu of $10,000 bail each since September 22 (attempted murder), the Party, because of lack of leadership, has failed to raise even a penny for the bail fund, (other groups in Madison & Milwaukee have raised almost $3,000) 13, Gentry, Welch & Bellamy have exhibited an unusual (for revolu- tionary leaders) attachment to the bourgeois life style--clothes, cars etc, COUNTER-REVOLUTION- ARY DAKIN GENTRY 14, Gentry maintains a $10,000 a year job with the state govern- ment’s jive Concentrated Employ- ment Program, where Bellamy also works, andhas recently stated that he intends to join the fas- cist mayor’s ‘‘Model Citles’’ Pro- gram--a counter - revolutionary pork barrel patronage position. 15. Gentry & Company quit the Party at the time of its greatest crisis--ensuring total collapse, Between September 22 six Pan- thers including Gentry, were ar- rested by the pigs on felony char- ges: three of them, Jesse Lee FIGHT OR DIE A lot has been said about the way to gain freedom, by going this way or that, We've been black- enized, some homogenized, others pasteurized and culturized, We have suffered through a decade of trial and error and we are still going through this. But we have finally reached the level of under- Standing the necessity for organ- ized self defense for Black people. The blatant murders of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark servedas a shock treatment for the mul- titudes of Black people who were not sure about the barbarism that exists and is perpetrated by the government against Black people in general and the Black Panther Party in particular, The thin line of deception has been cut, the bullets that tore through the flesh of Fred Hampton also tore through the lies and the deception that have been used to make the pigs look like the victims of unprovoked at- tacks. Now the people know why a pig is a pig Is a pig. The masses of people as a whole do not yet understand who are their friends and their real en- emies, but because of sincere hard work and correct line of the leader- ship of the Vanguard Party; the vail has been torn from the eyes of the people, for as they begin to analyze what they see they begin to understand more and more that the Black Panther Party is their Party. The people are beginning to take their political party to heart and beginning to embrace those who will dare to struggle for them. Those who have given blood, sweat and tears in order to educate our people. There had been times when I had become doubtful of the masses but I know and understand now that I was at a low level of polit- ical education. Even when I real- ized that genocide was being per- petrated against us, for a while ic seemed as though Black people as a whole would never realize this, I know that the near future holds terror for those who will refuse to accept the fact that fascism is here and that the order of the day will be open murder of masses of Black people. A waste of more Black flesh may still be necessary in order for the Black community to fully grasp the idea that ex- termination is what's on the hench- man’s mind, Some believe that the end of man is at hand, that God is com- ing to collect on past debts. If he waits a few more years he won’t have much to do because Babylon is falling, not by any super-natural force but by its own oppression of the people. The world is not coming to an end-only a corrupt murderous system, Anold order is being replaced by another ~—2. = oe-o~ White, Earl Leverette and Booker Collins, were busted for allegedly shooting at a pig. Needless to say, these arrests, and the brutal beat- ings of all six brothers by the Pigs, demoralized people consid- erably--at a time when poor lead- ership had already created a weak organization, Gentry and Bellamy resigned within a month of these arrests--without warning and without concern for the Party, To speak in more general terms again, Gentry and his friends seemed to subordinate politics to their own personal goals and set a poor example for the member- ship. We believe that the major reasons for the local Party’s dis- intergration were incompetant and opportunistic leadership coupled with severe repression (outlined below), While it is true that some of the membership were also poorly motivated and oppor- tunistic, many were true fighters for the people who just could not overcome the bad influence of the Gentry clique, These people are still working for the people, trying to correct past mistakes, and have not given up the fight against fascism. The repression in Milwaukee, as in other cities, has been great. Unfortunately, the Milwaukee lead- ership did nothing to keep the Na- tional or Chicago offices informed about such repression, Virtually every male Panther was arrested at least once, and many were badly beaten. The most important bust is of the ‘‘Milwaukee 3'’--Jesse White, Booker Collins and Earl Lev- erette--on charges of attempted in man’s attempt to become a hu- manitarian, barbarism is being replaced with humanitarianism, and the death of capitalism is what will bring about the birth of socialism, The aches and pains that we feel now are only labor and we should all understand that in order to get rid of the gun it has become necessary to pick up the gun, In order to get rid of racism it has become necessary to organize and fight along side all poor and oppressed people re- gardless of their color. Color will not be the deciding factor, but rather force and arms. There will be civil war - a revolutionary war in ameriKKKa, but it won't be a racial war on our part, but a peoples’ war guided by the cor- rect leadership of the Vanguard Party. And for that reason it is now and will become more and more necessary for Black people to embrace programs that are socialistic and will educate us and bring us closer together. An ex- ample would be the Free Break- fast Programs and Liberation Schools. We should give consid- erable thought now while we have the chance to educate our young for they are the life of the Black community, Our Minister of De- fense, Huey P, Newton, has stated that an unarmed people are sub- murder (of a pig) and resisting an officer, The three were beaten badly by pigs and have been given a 1 year sentence (the maximum) on the resisting charge already. The attempted murder trial won't come up for many months yet. The whole thing stinks of a pig frame and we hope to discuss the matter with you more fully at a later date, The ‘‘3'' have been doing a good job of organizing in jail and have not lost their revolutionary spirit to this day. Unfortunately, the leadership neglected to pass the word about the “3'' even to Chicago--much less to Berkeley, There is no chapter in Mil- waukee now, and rightly so. The ex-chapter had little effect because the people in the community saw through the leadership, Yet the potential still exists In Milwaukee, for there are some solid people who continue to fight capitalism, imperialism and the rise of fas- cism despite the repression, These people should not be forgotten. The Wisconsin Committee to Com- bat Fascism still exists--with sev- eral ex-Panthers on it--and is rallying much support around the ‘(Milwaukee 3'’ and the murder of Fred Hampton, The struggle con- tinues, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Greenberg, Karp and Dannenberg James H. Dannenberg ject to moment, At present the fights seem to be in the courts where niggers are winning-we're winning because we are exposing justice for what ir really is, a fascist, a processing center for Black people, where niggers are processed under the guise of ‘‘law and order’’, then shipped to one of the many con- centration camps. Niggers like Huey P, Newton and Bobby Seale have jammed the harlot courts and her trick judges to the wall, and if we understand that, then we should also understand that the fight will not end here. Thar al- ready the bitter taste of defeat has brought the fight tothe streets, to the ghetto where we live. Right now that phase is still at a low level but high enough for us to see and we should act now in our de- fense for survival. We would all like more time to “think about it’ but time is very precious and our survival is too important to bicker over, because in the final analysis guns will be the deciding factor and the philosophy of it all is very simple--FIGHT OR DIE, Slavery at any given REVOLUTION IN OUR LIFETIME BLACK PANTHER PARTY Colorado Chapter PIG REPRESSION As part of the repression that has engulfed the Kansas City Chap- ter of the Black Panther Party locally and nationally, brothers Will and Frank Peaks were sell- ing papers in the community when a large group of extremely racist men began to harass and physi- cally assault the brothers. Even though the group was significantly larger than the brothers could ef- fectively handle, they tried to deal with what they could, byany means hecessary, After the racists finished with the brothers, they called the pigs. pl, When the fascist occupational troops arrived, they immediately began to brutalize the already bea- ten brothers. Brother Dwayne, a cousin to the Peaks who was try- ing to assist them in whatever way he could, was immediately knocked unconscious. Brothers Will and Frank were arrested and even though the brothers were bleeding heavily and were obviously in need of medical attention, they were not allowed to see a doctor for nearly four hours.
