WITH A BROTHER AND SISTER OF THE IONAL | ‘ON (MITEE 10 | COMBAT | FASCI pee AND DECIDED THAT MISS VERP GRAF THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1970 PAGE 2 . THE PE rr OPL “ + EOF NOR TH CAROLINA ARE READY TO DEAL WITH SLUMLORDS, PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY VS THE SLUMLORDS AND FASCIST PIGS OF WINSTON-SALEM “We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings,"’ In any city, country or nation, this is one of the most important neces- sities that one needs to Live, But i: seems as if the Slumlords and Fascist Pigs of Winston-Salem don’t know this or that they Just don't care about anyone else. On March 4, 1970, Miss Polly Graham came into the Head- quarters of the Winston-Salem Of- fice of the National Committee to Combat Fascism and stated that she had been evicted from her home after the door had been kicked down by fascist pigs and a silly avaricious Slumlord. Miss Graham asked the N,C,.C F, for any type of help or assistance we could give her. After arriving In the community we found out not only had Miss Graham been evicted but the fools (PIGS) had promised to come back and evict other fami- Hes of the community. The houses in the Locust Street area are not fir for the Shelter of Human Be- ings: some of the homes do not have bathtubs, some don't have hot water, windows are broken and some have holes in the walls big enough for pigs to craw! through. The Slumlords have not made any effort to correct any of these de- ficiencies, Lf anyone shouldbe pay- ink anything .the people who live in these rat infested houses should be paidfor living under such conditions, The people of this com- munity got together with a Brother and Sister of the Winston-Salem National Committee to Combat Fascism and decided that Miss Graham nor anyone else was going to be evicted. Miss Graham's be- longings wece moved back into the house. The Brother and Sister and people of the community armed and prepared themselves to deal with the pigs and landlords when they returned. When word reached the low~ life \pigs that we were ready to deal with them inthe language they spoke, (through the barrel of a gun) they wouldn't show their faces in the community, The run- ning dogs hid. Afterwards, it was reported that an anonymous donor had paid the rent, and another report said some type of govern- ment agency had paid the rent. But regardless of how the rent was paid; the people had taken their stand and they vowed to re- sist any more evictions and the CONSTITUTIONALIZED FASCISM I-’s becoming increasingly clear that the pigs are now waging a war of constitutionalized fascism against the people of America in general and Black people In par- ticular, This is what we have to deal with and understand, that the pigs are changing the foundations of the constitution which is basically **All Power to the’ People,” They're changing this to mean ex- actly what they want it to mean which is power to the pigs. This is manifested in the ever increasing amount of conspiracy charges levied against Black peo- ple in general and the Black Pan- ther Party in particular. So as you can plainly see this fascist institution Is now practicing its legalized genocide against our peo- ple and that’s what makes the dif- ference to these pigs who call themselves liberals, Now all we have to do {s look at past examples to prove this point, In Detrolt, in 1967, three brothers were shot and castrated by pigs (local police and nation- al guardsmen) while they were in a motel trying to keep our of the rebellion, In 197 Leon Deadwy- ler was shot and killed as he drove his pregnant wife tothe hos- pital, In 1967 Denzil Dowell of Richmond was shot and killed with his hands up as he went to the Store, In 1968 Gregory Clark was Shot and killed because he couldn’r fit in the back seat of the ply car, In 199 Lorenzo Clark of L.A, was murdered, then his body was dragged into a store to make It look like a robbery. Now i. 1970 two brothers were murdered in less than five days, Larry Turner was murdered by agents of fascism and Garry Moore was killed by a neo-colonialist nigger pig. These last two cases are in- teresting because the pigs couldn't even think of a half front or ex- cuse, So a5 you can sec, the pigs at this time aren't even paying Up Service to the law. They are just indiscriminately killing Black peo-» ple, and it’s becoming increasingly ) clear that it is now a fight for national Salvation. Because in all the murders thar I've named these pigs got**justifiable homicide" and these same racist dogs still patrol! our communities at night, So what we vot to do is unite and deal with the situation. Be- cause time Is of theessence, We're dealing with national salvation of the world, We've gor to say later for these laws, because they're not designed to help and protect people, they’re designed to pro- tect pigs, Deal with ft from there, National Salvation or Race Geno- cide, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE IF BOBUY AND HUEY ARE NOT FREED, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT AND THE SEA IS GONNA BURN Wayne re-¢viction of Miss Graham. Most of the people also objected to the paying of the rent because they felt like the house was the money that was paid, not worth Since this incident, the city of- ficlals or “City Slickers’’ have gotten upset over the eviction, as if this was the first time it has happened, Of course everyone knuws this is not the first time this type of oppression has taken Place, Just last week an elderly lady, Mrs. Minnie Bellamy and her grandchildren were evicted in “Ice cold’ weather, and nothing was done about it. Those fools down- town couldn't help know abour it because it was publicized for two days all over the city. The real reason why these fools are upset is because the people of this com- munity have taken a stand against this madness and refuse to let it happen again, Soto you ‘*deep- ly concerned”’ city officials, Mayor **Mad"’ Benton, Chief of Pigs ‘'Un- justice’ Tucker, your upset days have just begun, because we poor oppressed people of Winston- Salem are going to be dealing with you from here on out. We have the constitutional right to bear arms, anc if that’s what it takes to deal with you, so let it be. BLOOD TO THE HORSE'S BROW AND WOE TO THOSE WHO CAN'T SHOOT! N,C,C,F,, Winston - Salem John E, Moore MISINFORMATION AND THE MASS MEDIA March 10, 1970 Dear Sir: We (my three-year old son, some friends and I) were at the Hall of Injustice yesterday with other friends of Bobby Seale. After reading today’s S.F. Chronicle’ front page coverage of an incident there, I feel outraged by the ma- liclous power of that paper, Per- haps some of your readers would like to hear a bystander’s version of what happened, While Fred Bennet was speak- ing to the crowd a young White man (clean shaven with what look- ed like pencilled attempts to make his face look hairy and shadowy.) with a red cowboy hat and a ‘*Hair’’ (the musical show) button on his chest approached the crowd from behind the speaker's back. He held a curved knife in one hand and yelled obscenities at the Panther speaker and the crowd in general, He must have said something about having dynamite in his knap- sack because the crowd near him reacted with some fear and soon the tac squad ‘Saved the day for free speech.’ As a close-range observer of most of the man's actions and unconvincing dialogue, I dismissed him as a provacateur and most of the near crowd shrugged and turned back to the speaker, Many in the crowd were possibly unaware of the intrusion because Fred Bennet kept speak- ing through the incident, The 300 or 400 people (not 150 as suggest- ed by the Chronicle) there were concerned about the Injustice of Bobby Seale’s case and wanted to show solidarity with this beautiful man's struggle for freedom and equality under socialism, Why do you members of the black community suppose the Chronicle put a photo of this in- cident, complete with inaccurate implications, on the front page? | wonder who pald the actor to perform? ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE A BERKELEY SISTER The reucilonary peemeditated plan of the fascist power structure to assassinate Chairman Bobby Seale, is open admission by the pig structure that in order fo re- main the Slave master they must pull out all stops to destroy the party, Tlie ene:ny thar walked a- mong us, stooping to the level of a snaxe crawling on his belly, to gain fayor of the slave master by lying and leaving his manhood floating in che wind, is typical of the house nigger who always ran ro the stave pig with news of any form of disent or anger from the field nigner. Fools likeGeorge Sams whoex- pect favors from theoppressor for their role as lying informess are hatred just as imict ly me pigs lie serves as by those he betrays. No one can relate to a tralror, es- pecially when he betrays his own people, With the bicth of the Black Panther Party, for the first time STATE OF AFFAIRS The state of Babylon (America) is chaotic and crucially un- balanced The people are in the streets, protesting past and pre- sent methods used by the U.S. governmen| to harass, intimidate, brutalize, murder and torture the people to keep them (the people) from exercising their consitution- al rights. The people are also in the streets because others (such as; Huey P Newton, Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party, Chairman Bobby Seale, New York 21, Connecticut 8, Latino 7, L.A. 18, Chicago 16 & the sur- vivors, Young Lords Organization) these revolutionaries are not only being denied their constitutional rights, but are being kidnapped off the streets and incarcerated for unlimited perlods of time, These revolutionaires, because of their political beliefs, are being mur- dered incold blood in their sleep and railroaded to jafl dally by the hypocritical, ferocious courts of Babylon. One may ask, “what be- Hefs could a man or woman have that would warrant such repression and inhumane treatment?!’ This question can be answered along with the question of, what does a revolutionary want. The most basic frame of reference I could come from to answer these questions Is. the Ten Point Platform and Pro- gram of the Black Panther Party written by our Minister of De- fense, Huey P, Newton and Chair- man, Bobby Seale, A revolutionary wants 1. To be free, He wants his people to be free from all external (sociological) and inter- nal (psychological) forces that are yO CO Oem eccaeecesccccesceccceccocccccecccccceccce SSCS SSSSSSESTSEESSSSESE SES SESESESES ESSE SESE SEESE jeeeceooeose seeeveseecces a misery and burden to his peo- ple. He knows that in order for his people to truly be free they must be able to create, to pro- duce. The economic system ofthis country is capitalism. And under capitalism everything that ts pro- duced is produced for profits. The economic system of capitalism only serves the producers, while the needs and desires ofthe people go unnoticed and unsolved. A revolutionary wants full em- ployment for his people so that the people will be free to create Whereby obtaining and excercising creativity, they will be able to carve out of their environment necessities to meet the needs and desires of all the people. A revolutionary wants an im- mediate end to the situation In the Black community where the avar- icious businessmen, who own most of the stores and businesses in the community, come in and drain the people of their money they worked so hard forand take that basket of money when the sun goes down to another part of town, And so on., It was ideas like the aforemen- tioned that made it necessary for the fascists of the power struc- ture to attempt to murder our Minister of Defense, Huey P, New- ton, and when that failed, they rall- roaded Huey to prison for two-to- fifteen years. It was also basic ideas like the aforementioned that made it necessary for the ges- tapo troops of US fascism to kidnap our Chairman Bobby Seale from the streets of Berkeley, Calif, and hold him to face the electric chair if convicted of the ridicul- ous charge of taking part In the brutal (pig) murder of our beloved comrade Alex Rackley in the state of Connecticut, It is also Ideas like ‘‘All Power Belongs To The People,’’ and the implementation of that idea that make conditions so in Babylon that our Minister of Information, Eldridge Cleaver, has to be in exile in Algeria. Therefore, we can easily see that a revolutionary is auto- matically an ‘‘enemy ofthe state."’ The very presence of racism within the structure of capltalist society, every Black man, woman, boy, or girl in the Black colony is a potential revolutionary, and thereby, if united and under the leadership and guidance of the Van- guard Party poses such a night- mare to the ‘pig oppressors"’ that their policy when entering the Black community Is‘‘get ready to Shoot any nigger that moves funny."’ My people, the situation Is so serious to our continued existence here in fascist, racist America that we must forget our petty dif- ferences and prepare ourselves and our community for defense against the racist running dogs of the Nixon-Agnew-Mitchell regime Babylon (America) is pregnant with armed revolution, and the baby is due any day now!! What will you do for the baby? Fight... .fight,, fight!

No one was injured--an anonymous phone call was made to police head- quarters 34 minutes before the explosions warining them to clear the bulldings. Police describedthe damage as ‘‘extensive"’, In a note sent to United Press International, a group called Revolutionary Force 9 took credit for the bombings. Reports in the mass medi con- tinued to whip up hysteria about these latest bomiings and about earlier bombings, and about the people who the police ‘‘suspect’’ of having done them, One New York paper ran the headline, ** Po- lice Tie Boimls to SDS Plot’’, Another blared, ‘*Terrorists Are Growing Peril Here.” Sanford Garelik, New York City Council President andformer chief police inspector, announced that same day that the Black Panthers and the Young Lords, as well as Weatherman SDS wor the groups responsible for making New York into a “*bartleground.,.of armed terrorists,” The police accusations neatly fit the prosecution, already in pro- yress, of 21 New York Black Pan- siers, charged with conspiring to blow up department stores and other public places, No #vidence has been produced to link the Panthers to any actual bombings. This was the first time the Young Lords tad been associated with any of the bombings in any way. Yoru- ba, Misister of Lformation of the Yous Lords, sald thar the organ- ization had no weapons, but that, "The only way to achieve Ubera- tlon is by picking up guns--and we're moving our people in that direction,” Fatlowis, +9 the text of a let- ter ceceived by United Press In- ternational from Revolutionary Force 9: IGM, Mobile and GTE ave ene- mics of all life. In 1969 IBM made $250 million, Mobile $150 millioa and GT= $140 million for US "“‘defense’’ contracts -- profits made from the suffering anddeaths of aman beings, All three profit not only from death in Vietnam but also from American imper- jalsim in all of the Third World. Taney profit from racist oppres- sion of Black, Puerto-Rican and other minority colonies outside America, from the suffering and death of men in the Americanarmy. from sexisin, from the exploita- tion and degeadation of employees forced ition lives of anti-human work, from the pollution aad des- truciion of our environment. To numb America to the hor- rors they inflict on humanity, these corporations seck to enslave us to a way of “‘life’’ which values conspicious consumption more than the relief of poverty, disease and starvation, which values glanr cars 4s status symbols more than the purity of our air (so Mobile can make $$$ through gas sales), This way of “‘life’’ sucks up SO% of the world’s resources-- for 15% of the planet’s popula- tion--aind then wastes the:n in com- pulsive consumerism and planned obsolescence (so IBM can make $35 off new model computers), distribures millions of TV Sets Gy lvania's included), all the better to put Hes into our heads and con- vince us to buy, buy, buy, and then offers only werk helping to pro- duce the goods that bring slow death at home or genocide abroad (or in the USA), This way of ‘life’ Is a way of death, To work for the indus- tries of death {is to murder, To know the tormests America iao- tlicts the Third Woctd, out not to sympathize and identify, is co deny.our own humane, ke is to Meny our right to love-- amd oof to love is fo die, We refuse, In deatli-directed Ainerica thera’ is Only ove way, to 4 life of Jove and freedoms) to. attack aad destroy the forcgs of death and exploltation and co build a just sucloty—-revolutiga’ on Revolitionsry Force 9 THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1970 PAGE 4 LAWYER BARRED FROM CONSULTATION WITH RORY & LANDON Thursday, 3/19, call was madeto Visitor Information at the Denver County Jall to see who was on the visiting lists of Landon Willlams, Rory Hithe, and Albert Washington, the guard at Visitor Informuilon sald that the following people would be allowed to see them, respect- ively, Victor Houston, Hasold Holmes and Jacqueline Tabb. When they arrived af the jail, they were told that they would have to go In separately and that Landon Williams’ visiting ‘‘privileges had been revoked for an indefinate period of time’’. The fascist fool at the desk said that this had been ordered by jail warden, William Nelson, because they ‘‘thought that a picture of Williams lad been taken the last time that Houston saw him". Albert told Jacque that they had known that they would be separated because Landon had yelled, *‘All Power to the People! Offthe Pigs!"’ down the hall following thetr last visit Walter Gerash, who ts defending Landon and Rory, had not been informed that his clifnt's visita- tlon rights had been revoked and a trip to his office revealed other things as well. Gerash received a letter signed by Warden William Nelson saying that effective 3/19/70, Landon Williams and Rory Hithe would be denied personal contact with the!r lawyer because of contraband mat- erlal (Panther Literature) found on thelr person and all ‘evidence’ indicated that the materials had been given to them by the lawyer The letter said that in addition to this, Walt would only be allowedto see Landon and Rory and all his other clients through a mesh or glass partition. The letter con- cluded by saying that this was a serious violation of a lawyer's ethics and incidents of this nature could result {n his being barred from the Denver County Jall al- together. Walt Gerash is one of the very best criminal lawyers in this area and Nelson Is aware of the fact that having him barred from the jail and denying him personal con- tact with his clients will make it difficult for him to defend them tn the best manner, but the brother has remained strong and ts presently pushing througha motion in which Lanson and Rory each have filed a $50,000 sult against William R. Nelson, Warden, Den- ver County Jail, and William L Koch, Manager of Safety and Ex- Officio Sherrif of the City and County of Denver. In view of the fact that Landon and Rory are supposedly incarcer- ated In the Denver County Jall for HOLDING, NOT PENAL purposes, and the brothers had not yet been tried or been found guilty, the mo- tion (The Writ of Mandamus) states that their present Incarceration by “the Respondents (William Nelson and William Koch) ts cruel andun- usual and is punishing their minds, bodies and civil rights and liberties because of the following acts; a) Placing petitioner In solitary confinement for 4 months {n a cell so dimly lighted that he could not tell day from night. b) Placing petitioner on bread and water with only one meal every third day, said diet did not con- tain good and sufficient food. c) denying visits by friends and loved ones and severing commun- ications for over 45 days . d) Removing petitioner's mattress above, all with an aim to crush and dull petitioner's mind, spirit and intellectual development, and communication with his friends, families, comrades and peers. h) The above acts have violated petitioner's safety, happiness, life, mind and body, civil and political rights, resulting in lack of light, heat, cleanliness, safety, lack of good and sufficient food, severe loss of weight, vitamin deficiency, mental depression, contrary tothe laws of the State of Colorado as alleged above, and the petitioner has been damaged in mind and body in the amount of $50,000.00, 1) The denialof the petitioner’ sac- cess to writings and denial of basic physical life needs prevents pe- titioner from fully and adequately communicating effectively with his attorneys and constitutes an effec- LANDON WILLIAMS AND RORY HITHE from his {solated cell at 5:30 a.m until 9:00 p.m, each day, e) Excluding him from the asso- ciation of other human beings by Placing him in isolation and only breaking this routine for 2 weeks just prior to October !7, 1969, f) Placing petitioner in a '‘D-T'' cell (cell where alcoholics are placed when they suffer from de- lirium tremens) with only a hole in the concrete floor with a mov- able grate, constituting the sole means of sanitation which ren- dered petitioner’ s environment un- clean, unsafe and unwholesome, contrary to C,R.S. 05-7-2, 1963, as amended g) Denying petitioner on numerous occasions literature, books, mag- azines, and the Black Panther Newspapers, arbitrarily, cap- riclously and contrary to human dignity, free speech and the con- stitutional guarantees as alleged tive denial of an adequate defense and effective counsel as guaran- teed by the constitutional protec- tions alleged above That all of the above-mgntioned acts of or ommisons on the part of Respondents are done with the full knowledge of the petitioner’s affiliation and membership in the Black Panther Party, and saidacts and ommissions are a calculated effort on the part of Respondents to punish and persecute the pe- titloner because of his race and political affiliation, all of which violates the Constitiution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Colorado,"' QNLY WITH THE DEATH OF F ASCIST AMERICA CAN WE BE SET FREE! Colorado Chapter Black Panther Party DISNEYLAND- DENVER STYLE Having been to several states and dug on the condition of the Black communities, | was under the impression that each planta- tion was basically the same--un- til 1 came to Deaver. Park Hill was the first part of the Black community that | saw after leaving the airport. The homes are all made of brick, pret- ty yards, trimmed hedges and big -cars--even though the people are working two jobs to pay the ran- som on such “‘luxuries™’, The symbols of success have robbed most of this community of a real identity, This is a haven for the true ‘‘American Negro”, infested with the spineless civil service worker who truly believes that he has a fair slice of the American Dream; he has confused moon cookies with apple pie, “Ju- lia’® would certainly be among friends here, as would “‘muffle- mouth muddle - head’’ Humphrey, The Ozzie and Harriets of Park Hill obviously don’t understand what they are looking ut when they see so many pigs occupying the community or what is happening when their children, even after having a well-fed and sheltered life, wind up full of dope or have a desire to be a pimp or a pros- titute, And I know they definitely don’t know what's up or down when they Inform on other Black peo- ple to sell out a member of our community to the enemy fs un- forgiveable. it happens so much here that | was wondering if those Black lackey pigs that carted off 894 students to prison In Missis- Sippi didn’t come from Park Hill, Don’t get me wrong, I love my people, but right now | must talk to them and try to show to them the shame that they bring to all Black people who are trying to unite and obtain liberation, Right now in America, it is ab- surd for a Black man to think that because of a few more pen- nies he is that much closer to being free, To fall into the pir of hoping to exist a little longer because of your economic status is to follow the blue print of your extermination that was layed out during the mass murder of the German Jewish community. You can profess your patriotism and anything else, blood, and you can dream of living happily ever after under Richard Nixon or ‘*Georgy Boy” Wallace, your soul may be- long to a wish and a dream, but your Ife belongs to fascism. You owe it to yourself to at least investigate what's happening to our people and what is abour to happen, Sitting in front of that “*mad box’* for 15 or 20 minutes listening to lies and distortion isn't the way you do it. You've been listening to the master’s side of the news all your life and that is why you are So politically deformed now. That's woy he can tell you to give up your sons to fight and dic for his wishes and desires and you say “'right on’’ to that. And when (not if) the military complex takes over this Country. all that so-called ‘American Morality’ will be washed down the drain along CONT ON PAGE 16 REVOLUTION, NECESSIT vs. DESIRE In bis essay of ‘Anarchist & Individualists’’, Huey P, Newton, our leader and Minister of De- fense of the Black Panther Party, pointed out the differences in the struggles that are taking place in the Black community andthe White racist mother country. Hoey pointed out how in the Black com~- munity because of racism we are oppressed as a group of people, Black people, and we are strug- gling for survival as a group. In the mother country, the White racist community, the people are also oppressed but not as 4 group; _ they are oppressed as individuals. As a group, Whites are liberated; however, the laws and rules dic- tated by the power structure are found oppressive by individuals who would like to do things when they want to, where they want and the way they want to: primarily smoking dope and fornicating in the street, If one of the dissatis- fied Whites conforms to the laws and rules dictated by the power Structure, then they can be com- fortable; however, regardless of a Black person’s economic status and the degree of conformity to the White racist laws und rules, because of racism the Black per- son is still inanoppressed position. The similarity of struggle taking place in the Black community and the struggle taking White racist mother country lies in the fact the enemy of Black people, the ones directly respon- sible for the oppression, exploita- tion, brutality, and murder of Black people as 4 group, are the ones responsible for the oppression of individual Whites, In other words, there are two different struggles against a common enemy. The Black Panther Party is at the fore- front of the struggle for national Salvation and self-determination in the Black community and those Whites that feeloppressed because of their individualism constitute what is called the ‘‘new lefc’’, the ‘White left’, ‘‘White ra- dicals’’, ‘“‘mother country ra- dicals’’, The Black Panther Party re- cognizes that in order to be suc- cessful in our struggle it Is ne- cessary to make accurate analy- sis of the conditions as they really are presently and how the his- torical development of the for- ces of reaction and racism de- veloped to the present Stage, In the course of our Investigation and with the leadership of Huey P, Newton, we discovered that we, Black people, were not kidnapped from Africa and brought to this country because we were Black, rather we were brought here to do work, Racism lias developed as a justification by the Europeans, White people, as an excuse for enslaving us. In other words greed was the purpose, racism was the excuse. Racism also has been used to divide ethnic groups and keep them fighting each other rather than seeing the cominonality of thelr exploitation and oppression and joining together in a powerful force against the forces of reac- tion and racism, The Black Panther Party also learned through practice and the deaths of members of our Party like Alprentice "'Bunchy™ Carter and John Jerome Huggins who were murdered by members of a so- called ‘Black organization’’ that the only true and accurate way of judging individuals and groups is by what they do, rather than what they say. In order to be con- sidered valid a particular prin- ciple must hold true for all si- tuations, Many Black people mis- place in the understood when the Black ther Party began openly and ac. tively to show thréughexample th sulidarity is the best way to com- bat racism. When we began to point out thar we are alloppressed and exploited regardless of color and that the only thing preventing us from joining together and hay-— ing American revolution #2 is ra= cism, some Black people calledus “‘integrationists"; some Black people said ‘we didn’t learn any= _ thing from the experiences of the civil rights movement,”’ It Is ne=— cessary at this time to point our — that our analysis of racism and _ how it works is correct. The thing | that must be understood is thar we must have principles to guide us in our struggle if we are to be successful and not try to maxe decisions that are based on emo-~ tion, because the price to be paid for mistakes in our struggle Is someone's life. The principle of judging people and groups by their practice when applied to the mother country point out what we subjectively know that White people in America are ra« cists. It varies in intensity, how- ever, even the mother country ra- dicals many of whom think thar they have wiped out their racism, when judged of their practice have not advanced in the three years since the Black Panther Party has been in existence in eliminating their racism. Examples, the White racist radicals agree that Black people are the most oppressed, exploited and revolutionary people in America and that a revolu- tion Is a necessity to relieve the suffering of the Black masses, But on the other hand, White ra- dicals who primarily come from bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie backgrounds who desire revolu- tion rather than view revoltuion as a necessity because of their economic or class backgrounds re- fuse to accept the leadership and examples of the most revolution- ary people that have the only truly revolutionary organization, the Black people in America, The revolutionary struggle inthe Black community has advanced from rocks and bottles in 1%4 to 1969 when the Black masses in November, 1969, in Chicago, Illinois being outraged at the bru- tal murder of two brothers from the Soto family by Daley's fas- cist pigs brought out their guns and shot 10 policemen, In De- cember, 1969, in Los Angeles, eleven Black Panthers success- fully withstood an attack of 500 pigs for five hours.

REPRESSION S : IN TENNESSEE (Joknson City)--Tennesee’s anti- riot law zapped another brother | last Thursday at East Tennessee State University. 100 students went looking for adventure in an old fashion panty raid. But kids get laid more these days and there’s less need to stand outside a pri- son calling for love. So it wasa’t much of a riot. The student's en- joyment was disrupted by the man and as the people ceturned to their dorms, one student was attacked and arrested for “inciting to riot’’. The Knoxyille 22 became the Volunteer 23, Bill McMahan was called aside by a stranger, When he weat over to sce what was happening the dude grained him and started shooting off into his walkie-talkie. The law Says that the police have got to identify themselves Lf they wait you not to resist their offensives. So this brother did the righteous thing and took the pig down, At the jail Bill was booked for inciting to riot and had to spend the night in a sty, The next mora- fig lie was brought to his trial, He was being held on a felony and faced up to ten years so he should bave been granted a lawyer by the court and sliould have been given grand jury and arraignment hearings, He was offeced 4 Deal; Plead guilty to three mis- demeanors i) exchange for drop- ping the felony. The fines and court costs for the misdemeanors was $125. Unable to afford 4 lawyer, Bill had to accept the Deal. A lawyer could have sued the plainclothesman for false arrest and brutality. And it could have been easy to avoid a criminal record as there was so riot that he could have Incited, and of the three misdemeanors, two are un- constitutional and the third, re- sisting arrest, only referred to legal resistance to an unlawful arrest. Bur the legal system is another form of the state’s re- pression and we're all outlaws in the eyes of America, The robbing of $125 and messing over Bill's life are typical of the intimidation brought down on the people of Johnson City. 31 peo- ple were busted in a party last week, Some were charged with being in a disorderly house and six students from Milligan College are recelving school discipline be- fore this loose case is tried (next stop is Vietnam) Other drug busts have been led by an informer fool enough to lead the pigs inthe raids. A bottle of planted Dexamy! ts usually turned up in his busts.

The state wants to collect interest on him when he gets big. The heavy repression has everyone uptight. Repression keeps people apart, which is essential if the railroad Ellington is building through the campus is to be safely completed against wide disapproval among the people who live there and breathe the air. At State they also vamp on fac- ulty members who dare to chal- lenge the University President's line that the study of sociology should not encourage social engagement and activism, The new President has fired a tenured pro- fessor who asserted the right to free speech about national political issues outside the classroom, Luis Serron allowed his students to attend the October Moratorium and addressed the protest himself rather than attend a hastily called departmental meeting. He is now having to look for a job for this summer while ing to teach, write a book, and prepare his le- gal defense. He must defend him- self against repeared unlawful measures including denial of the right to have a hearing before his peers as specified by the American Association of University Pro- fessors. In the struggle, Serron has wide support among the stu- dents and faculty, The next stage in his harassment is an appear- ance before the Stare Board of Education, Academic repression in the So- ciology Department came into the open last year when two assistant professors were dismissed for en- couraging students to actively en- gage in their subject matter. When three other teachers left the de- partment, the President remolded it more to his Mking. A series of distorted and prejudiced art- icles appeared in the Johnson City Press Chronicle, And when the University openly showed its act- ivism by recruiting for the United Fund, Serron responded with a me- mo that ran it down on where the University is at, and added thar he perferred to give his money to build support for ending the war in Viecnam, Then October 15. Ellington said after Serron’s dis- missal that disloyality is not tol- erated within the state University system and demanded an investi- gation of any faculty member who had made any speech that might be construed as disloyal. The ACLU has condemned Ellington's statement as a blatant attack on the First Amendment right of free speech as well as condemning the denial of Serron’s fundamental rights. The faculty speaker in Knox- ville on October 15 was Richard Marics An Injury to one is an injury to all. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE FASCISM IN AMERICA’S INSTITUTIONS ‘The main purpose of the Black Panther Party is to serve and edu- cate the People, We are likened to oxen--meant to be ridden by the People} Thursday, Feb, 26, 1970, be- cr tween 12:30 a.m, and 1;00a.m,,a oung black sister came to two n City Panther members for assistance. The following is asum- of what occured to this sis- * who had been seeking much ed medical attention for her 16 month old daughter: «The sister had taken her child 10 Children’s Mercy Hospital alter childs temperature had risen it 105. The child was look- hastily and given an in- n of some simple compound on and a sponge-off with al- - cohol, The baby didn’t show any signs of improvement, yet the mo- ther noticed that the childs* tem- perature was steady rising and breathing complications were de- veloping. At this point, the sister came to Brother Pete O'Neal, Deputy Chairman, and Charlotre O'Neal's apartment to use the phone to call Children’s Mercy Hospital for further assistance. The sister was told that al- ready too many children were be- ing admitted for these same symptons, and they didn’t have the time to treat alll *‘Just give her some aspirin and wipe her head with alcohol’, the nurse contin- ued, How can an aspirin relieve the pains of 4 baby who is suf- fering from 4 severe temperature of this kind? Brother Pete and Charlotte rushed the mother and child to another hospital, (Menorah Medi- cal Center), but the attendants there refused treatment also. Brother Pete had to lie and say that the child was his own,and then and only then, did these fas- cist medical authorities allow the child to be looked at! The mother was still told to administer as- pirin and alcohol! The people see everyday the fas- cist tactics of the lackeys of this inhumane system-—-the pig (police- man), But the People must also realize that these fascist tactics are employed in all governmental institutions, be they schools, hos- pitals, etc, Poor, oppressed peo- ple are denied medical attention because of an inability to pay the required ridicuolus prices! Black babies are dying daily from all- ments that go unattended because of the bureaucracy and fascist tactics of medical institutions, The Black Panther Party sees these oppressive medical condi- tions and implements such pro- grams as Free Medical Clinics, and Mobile Health Units, for all poor, oppressed people in an ef- fort to ¢liminare these types of inhumane conditions and suffering The people must realize further thar these conditions evolve froma vicious circle of exploitation, This baby's case, and other cases simi- lar to it, would not have occured if these avaricious landlords who own all, would provide the People with decent housing, Number four of the Black Panther Party's Ten Point Platform states, ‘*We want decent housing fit for shelter of human beings.’ Decent housing consists of an adequate heating System, buildings free from ver- min infestation, adequate plumb- ing, etc, The baby previously mentioned apparently was made ill because of the inhumane heating system in the apartment that she sleeps in, All poor, oppressed people know all to well the hardships involved in trying to just keep warm, while paying outrageously high prices for indecent shelter, Poor, oppressed people must be educated to the fact that this gov- ernment works hand in hand with its lackeys--the pigss (policemen) the medical institutions, the edu- cational institutions, ete, The peo- CONT ON PAGE I6 THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1970 PAGE 6 AN ELectene Cirevs Rescist BagYton « Onress We Get Sustiee sWere Going To “Toen Tris Racceny, Firay, Pere lnsine Our BUILDING FASCISM EUeey pay “/ — DHRRUBA- IN AMERICA Recently there have beenanum- ber of bombings across the coun- try and especially in New York City. March 12 an early morning explosion demolished 3 mid-town offices of large corporations, There were no deaths but property damage was extensive. During that same week a Greenwich Village townhouse was blown up and three persons are known dead This waveof bombing holds spec- iffc importance for the Black Pan- ther Party andall! progressive peo- ple and must be understood and analyzed in the correct political perpective:, First of all we must realize that AmeriKKKa ts in the stage of building fascism through ‘constitutional laws'' under the guise of maintaining ‘law, order, and Peace” in the society.. One of the first orders of the day ts to make an example out ofthe Panther 21 and Chairman Bobby Seale. The power structure with the aid of their partners in crime, the dem- agogicpolitictanand the news media, have set forth to use the bombings to bulld the case against the Black Panther Party and the Panther 21 in particular, Every newspaper article, radio program, T.V. tele- cast dealing with the bombings link them with the Party in some way,no matter how remote the circum- stances, These lackeys of the power structure are working over- time to create a wave of pubilc hysteria around these bombings in order to muk» !t easy for them to railroad the Panther 2i to jall forever, New York City Councll Prest- dent, Sanfor Garellk, has labled the Black Panther Party and other revolutionary and progressive groups ‘armed terrorists’ out to RENT A PIG One of the identifying charac- teristics of a pig is that such a creature has no regard for human life--born or unborn, The inci- dent that we ave about to relate is every bit a5 gruesome and ma- cabre as 4 novel by Edgar Allen Poe, but is far more chilling as ir took place inreality, not insome writer's imaginauion, This brutal episode in the gory book of pig-community relations ° on Thursday, March 1%h, 1970, at 6 o'clock p.in. The scene destroy the country. It should be noted that not one bombing that has occurred in New York City has been in any way concretely linked with the Party, The only story that they can come up with is that the Party gives rise to these actions by way of their ‘self-defense rhetoric’’ which the mass media has termed violent and terroristic in nature Even though many people are con- fused, many are able to look be- tween the lines and relate to the practice of the Party as mani- fested inthe Free Breakfast Pro- gram, Liberation Schools, Free Clothing Program, and Free Health Programs, instead of the violent labels. The power structure knows that their case against the Panther 2 and Chairman Bobby are weak as water and the maintance of high ball and no ball are unconstitu- tional and even weaker. Through their brutal murders of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark and their attempted murder oftheL A Pan- thers, they were exposed for the plgs they are. In a desperate ef- fort to justify their plans to put the Panther 21 in jail for the rest of their lives and murder Chalr- man Bobby in the electric chair they are attempting to gain sup- port by linking in some way, any way, all the bombings which have occurred with the Party. In so doing the people because they are confused will endorse the power structure’s genocide on the Black Panther Party in aneffortto main- tain their own security, unaware that they are endorsing their own destruction In the long run, We must understand that the pig power structure as masters of deceltand chief engineers of the ‘‘big Lie’ know how important it isto have the people’s endorsement In their fascist actions, And in order to bring this about they will do any- thing and that Includes bombing thelr own buildings and blaming it on the Party. All we have to do Is check out some of the mysterious ways in which some of the bomb- ings supposedly: occured, If the power structure Is allowed to get away with its plan, who will be next? All progressive peoples and groups have already been named as co-defenders in the bombing incidents. Some of the politicians have already suggested that those responsible for suchacts of terror should be dealt with most severely (death or life im- prisonment), We can expect to see new laws which give the pig police more and wider powers to vamp on revolutionaries and progressive people with complete disregard for their rights. THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE WARNED that just as the No-Knock Law was originally designed to deal with drug sellers, it is used quite widely to break down revolutionaries’ doors, that the unconstitutional methods being used against the Party will be used indiscriminately on anyone who dares dissent, Such is the origin of fascism and when allowed to go unchecked it eventually threatens all mankind. We must stop fascism in the early stages, SEIZE THE TIME!

BOBBY SEALE, THE BLACK PANTHERS AND US WHITE PEOPLE For the Whiteman, History, past and future, is very long, and his set of references is very imposing. For the Black man»Time is short, for his History has been brutally interrupted and modified in such a way that the Whites did wevery- thing to prevent him from having his own, original development, And in the USA, we are still busy set- ting limits on Black people's Time and Space. Not only is each and everyone of them more withdrawn within himself but he is also iIm- prisoned by us. And when we have to,we assassinate him, Because of his exceptional po- litical stature, Chairman Bobby Seale’ s trial which just started Is, in fact, a political trial of the Black Panther Party, and, on a more general basis, a race trial held against all of America's Blacks, The reality of the Black colony within the United States In very complex. Disseminated as they are within a nation full of pride, which likes to think of herself as master of the world, the Blacks, spread among a White population, op- pressed by the Whites’ racism and indifference, threatened by an op- pressive police and administra- tion, have been forced to operate a very new type of fight, in this very singular situation, That is how the Black Panther Party was created, first of all to defend the rights of the colonized Blacks in- side the USA, then also to in- itiate an original political thought process. Before the vigor of their action and the rigor of their political reflections, the Whites--and es- pecially the emotion of the dom- inating caste in the USA, the po- lice--had a racial reaction almost immediately: since the Blacks proved that they were able to get organized, the easiest thing would be to throw discredit on their or- ganization The Police we to hide the true tentions behind texts; trial on drug, mur der and conspiracy charges. The fact of the matter is that they were trying to massacre those respon- sible for the Black Panther Party What about us, what are we doing? When the bombs hit Hanol, we had some epidermic reactions; so did we during the Korean war These massacres were taking place far away, Here and now, are finding out that our own Col- onized, which still appeared to us like shadows in our midst, are just about to become our adversaries, in this very country The majority of Black people live in misery. It ts not the Police which stopped drugs in the Black colonies; we know that there isa collusion between the Police and the Mafia distributing these drugs, Indeed, it is the Black Panther Party itself which started to do something about that re thereforeable meaning of {ts in- unqualified pre- based we But we shut our eyes, our mouths, our ears, so that the Macks’ misery would not disturb us too much, If we looked straight into American reality, we would quickly understand that the Blacks are more and more capable of taking care of their own affairs. And so the simplest, the most prudent way is to leave them in a state of physical and mental misery, In a state of absolute sol- itude Let us not be afraid of words; this misery permits ourowncom- fort.

With Revolutionary Greetings, Yours In the Scruggle, Eric Desmond (Nat'l Secretary) for the Sectretariat away was a luxury. Our cowardice will prevent us from opening our eyes here. In order to complete this, have set up a high-level imposture: we have granted a few, carefully chosen Blacks notoriety, and we have mulitplied their image, but only so that they should become what we want them to be actors. Bobby Seale and his comrades have over-stepped our boundaries, they speak and act as responsible political people, and we can't bear we this. We'd rather have misery for the Blacks and the racism it im- plies, than to recognize the po- litical value of the Black Panther Party, One really has tounderstand that Attorney General Mitchell, %y trying Bobby Seale, is trying allof us Our liberties are being threatened more and more, May be we're not going to do anything, but our sons and daughters are faster than us, they have made a hero out of Bobby Seale in his prison We won't do anything, and our children already are contemptful of us for not doing anything, Stonybrook University should be cited as an example; when Bobby Seale was transferred to Connect- icut, that University’s response was to offer him a Professorship, The very day of the transfer, the University also created a Support and Defense Committee in favor of Bobby Seale and the Black Panther Party. We have entered a period com- parable tothe fifties’ McCarthysm The same terrorism {ts being used against the intellectuals sympath- izing with the Black Panther Should the Police fact be accepted or fought? Should one continue to fear the Black Panther Party Like and is terrible of which both image a mythology, childish, an paralyzing us” Should one accept that the Black people, colonized within a White empire, should attempt to free itself Because of the very fact that the Black Panther Party and we our- selves, White people, have the same enemy, meaning the police and, beyond the police, the White House Administration, and beyond the White House Administration, the High Finance,we know that our struggle is a class-struggle, We should not let ourselves be distracted by the sexual myths which are said to be the origins of racism The origins of racism are socio- economic, We do have to make this a very precise notion, for this is the starting point of our solidarity with the Blacks and the Black Panther Party, Where the political thought- pro- cess of the Black Panthers Is con- cerned, | am convinced that it orig- inates in the poetical vision of the American Blacks More and more do we wealize that revolutionary thought orig- {nates in this poetical emotion This is why one has to understand that it is starting with singular poetical emotions that Mao Tse- tung was brought to revolutionary consciousness, later onto the Long March, then to the revolution called the ‘‘one hundred flowers'’ revo- lution and, finally, to the cultural revolution, And it was the same for Ho Chi Minh And so was it for the Black Panther Party which, from the poetical resources ofits oppressed people, draws the means to have a rigorous revolutionary thought. The Whites, and particularly the young, must understand that the re- lationship with their own revolu- tionary organizations must be new relationships, and that one has to organize right now TACTICAL revolutionary alliances, | also believe that the time has come to Use new vocabulary and syntax capable of making everyone better aware of the double struggle, poetical and revolutionary, of the White movements which are com- parable to the Black Panthers, Where | am concerned, for ex- ample, I also refuse the word Brother, which is too laden with evangelical sentimentalism, and when talking about the Blacks, I want to talk about comrades in arms fighting againt the same adversary. When the Black Panthers con- tacted me in France, I came right iway to the United States to put myself at their disposal. Your youth, your intellect and physical agility, your moral imperatives are capable of making you act faster than 1, and with greater efficiency, This is why I am counting on you to help the Black Panther Party and to prevent Bobby Seale's trial One has to think that this current of culture, which has been brutally interrupted by the White slave- drivers, is coming back again, not on the level of Black music only, but on the level of revolutionary consciousness. It is therefore a very simple, but very obvious paradox which today makes the Blacks the carriers here, in the USA, of revolutionary thought and action, Jean Genet AN OPEN LETTER TO HUEY NEWTON AND BOBBY SEALE Brothers, In the spirit of the revolution, 1 am writing this letter to you, I wish to express my gratitude for all of the help your organization has given to our people. Through the efforts of dedicated brothers like you the revolution in all as- pects will triumph The racist fascist pigs of this country recognize power when they See it. The recognized the power of Marcus Garvey, so they de- ported him, They recognized the power of Malcolm X, sothey turned his brothers on him, They recognized the power of Martin Luther King, so they killed him, They recognized the power of the Panthers; so they attempted to ex- terminate the organization by jail- ing you, its leaders, But the power of beautiful brothers Ike you transcends all prisons to keep the revolution moving. Realizing that their tron bars couldn't stagger the power of the Panthers, they decided to employ their number one weapon- genocide, But in their planning, the fascists forgot that they were dealing with revolutionaries, They forgot that each time they killed a brother the revolution gained many more. Right On! They forgot and we remembered, We remember Malcolm X, we remember Bobby Hutton, Mark Clark, Fred Hampton, Marcus Garvey and Martin Luther King. We remember you brothers,,..and they shall pay.

We have time and tme again tried to impress on the city agen- cies and officials that the People's Medical Care Center is NOT per- forming as a drug dispensary. Each individual doctor prescribes his own drugs if needed, the center is not the dispensary. Black Panther Party member, Ralph Bostick must appear in court on March 31, at 2:00 in room 1308 at the Civic Center in answer to an: injunction that was presented to the clinic on February Sh. The injunction was issued because the Board of Health persistently Says that we are operating illegally because we have no license as a dispensary. In a survey performed by 20 medical students, it was found that there are‘*S0"' centers that are operating in the same way 4s ours thar don’t have a Ucense as a dis- pensary. Yet only the People’s Medical Care Center and a clinic operated by the Young Patriot Parcy have received injunctions, This is purely 4 case of harass- ment, an attempt to keep the [ Slack Panther Party and other progres- people from fulfilling their primary task, to serve the people. Our center Is inspected by agents from the Board of Health andother city agencies who are constantly trying to find something wrong with our clinic. They ask irrelevant questions such as “‘How many Panthers work in the clinic and what are their names*’ or *'How many people are in the Party, etc,; questions that don’thave any- thing to do with the service and the welfare of our people. sive Black people and other op- pressed people have constantly cried-out to the corrupt power Structure for decent health care, The Black Panther Party has heard the ery; we will not allow a cor- rupt structure to practice geno- cide and gross neglect on our peo- ple. We will no longer allow our wives, husbands, and children to be murdered because of inadequate facilities and overcrowded condi- tions. PEOPLE SEE NEED FOR MORE BREAKFAST PROGRAMS CHICAGY) Ii March of 1969, the Illinois Chapter of the Ulack Panther Party opened its first breakfast program, and since then has taught the people how to combat hunger. Thousands of children throughout Chicago have been fed, with peo- ple consequently realizing the value of such a program, Other groups and organizations have followed our example by set- ting up their own breakfast pro- grams, Operation Breadbasket, the BSU of Englewood, and the Black Disciples are a few of the followers. City officials who are cespon- sible for keeping people hungry, have now been forced into alltypes of apologies and denial positions, while the people have been voicing a judgineat against them, People inthe communities where our programs are in operation have come forth to cook and donate their money snd time as they see thar the program is for their benefit. Also, they sce it as a bright exam- ple of them using their resources and energies, without the burden of a bureducratic program and tax dollars. We honor the people wio care about our youth enough to see faa; they get at least one nourishing meal a day. And tliose who can’t relate to our free breakfast pro- gram will be dealt with by the youth--nonhungry and hungry.

Because of the consequences if Anything goes wrong during an operation, members within the group must maintain a face toface realtionship, get to know each others strengths and weaknesses thoroughly, and participate fully in the planning of operations. Lib- eralism act this level can cost the lives of comrades and/or jeopar- dize the success of an operation. At this time self-defense groups Should have no more than four to six members, The struggle at this time requires no operation that can’t be handled by four to six people, Also security is sacrificed the larger the group, At this time self-defense groups should he formed ull across Babylon, North, South, East and West, However, at this time groups must work au- tconomously. Under no circum- stances should any group seek out and try to make contact with ano- ther group. Due to the fact thar this level of struggle is in its embryonic stages and fools, a- gents and provacatures are scattered all across Babylon if autonomy is maintained when a member of a group ts captured he or she will only be able to give up information on one group, their own, Know the ene:ny, At this time the pigs have three things going for them: i. Communication 2. Mobility 3, Information C.M.L. When planning any operation the pigs’ C.M.L must be caken Into x consideration when planning tac- I tics. 7 Part #2 will appear at a later date and will deal with self-defense weapons and training. COUNTER-ATTACK D.C, HANRAHAN SEEKS TO SMASH BLACK YOUTH 3 Fred R, ‘*Bobby’’ Gore, leader of the Conservative Vice Lords Inc., was found guilty of murder- ing Thurman Williams, 23, outside the T-Box Lounge, 3429 W, Ogden, Gore was also sentenced to serve 4-10 years for aggravated battery steming from the same incident, Incidents like these are appear- ing time and time again. Young Black leaders and the youth in general are constantly belng taken off the streets and railroaded on some trumped up charge and sen- tenced to spend the remaining part of their youthful and productive years incarcerated in prisons or penitentiaries, or in some cases sentenced to the electric chair. State’s Attorney Hanrahan says that he has declared war on gangs, But it seems that he has ignored the Mafia and the crime syndicated and Instead has decided to commit genocide on Black youth, His gestapo GANG INTELLI- GENCE UNIT constantly stir up and perpetuate gang antagonisms, They have infiltrated the gangs and when they see them acting in a progressive manner, they act as provocateurs, stirring up trouble in an attempt to give the gang a bad name, The Vice Lords are not a gang. They are a youth organization and have set up 3 Black owned and operated businesses in their com- munity, The Black Disciples have a Breakfast for Children Program which feeds more than 150 kids each morning, We must be able to differen- tlate between the desirables and undesirables in our communities. Hanrahan has no knowledge of the Black community, His storm trooping GLU commit more crimes in our communities thanall the Black youths put together, They are relating to the old ‘ Roman law of ‘divide and conquer’’ a keeping us isolated from our youth while they are constantly kidnapp- ing them and murdering them, They, as we, understand that the t youth make the revolution, so in turn all youth are enemies of the state and they will stop at nothing to snuff out this force,— Genocide and extermination at any _ price, We see through their vow to ‘‘serve and protect.’’ We know that it is just a smokescreen to hide the murder and brutality. The State’s Attorney and Mayor Daley have both shown through “ their practice that they have no regards for the rights and pro- tection of Black people. This is manifested through their early morning raids inour communities, We must make a critical analy- sis of the present situation. The Grand Jury has Just brought down 200 indictments on gang members and there are more to follow, Black people, we must bring Hanrahan's and Daley's fascist machinery to a screeching halt. Pigs, we see through your smoke- screen; Weare no fools. We Want — An Immediate End To Police Bru- tality And Murder Of Black P } The Racist Dog Police Must With- — draw From The Black Community, — Cease Their Wanton Murder ‘And Brutality Of Black People Or Face The Wrath Of The Armed People. — lilinots Chapter Black Panther Party 2350 W. Madison Chicago, Illinois ~ WE WANT AN IMMEDIATE END TO POLICE BRUTALITY AND MURDER OF BLACK PEOPLE, HIRED HENCHMEN ATTACK BROTHER IN FRISCO We have learned through 400 yearsof hard suffering and strug- gle to judge people not by their theories (words) alone, but rather we judge people by their practice (actions), The ideology of the Black Panther Party is the historical experiences of Black people inter- preted through Marxism-Lenin- ism. Because of the way of life we have been subjected to and are still being subjected to, because of the lies that kept us in the “*dark"’, and because of the fascist terror that is being unleashed upon us as a race of people, we say “Practic2 what you preach or suf- fer the wrath of the armed people.” Our beloved Minister of Infor- mation, Eldridge Cleaver, now in exile but on his job, said. **Better torematin silent, than tontterhalf- truths or {irrelevant generatities which leaye loopholes for those to escape who rightfully should be condemned for derelection of duty by those who are still waging life and death stcugyles for the libera- tionand security of their people!" Black people already know that the racist policy, disguised In the form of the U.S. Constitution of the U.S, Government fs nothing but a sham and 4 hoax to keep us In Slavery from now on. The hypocracy of the Mustims, under the “‘Ieadersnip” of Elijah Miuhamined, has recently begun to ooze out in the practice of some of its members. If you remember in a previous edition of ‘'The Black Panther, Black Comonimity News Service™’ (March 7, 1970, page 7) an art- fcle stating “Black Muslims As- Sault the Pevple at Malcolm X Festival Held at Philadelphia Com- munity College"’ ran it down, **The evening of Saturday, Feb- ruary 21st again witnessed the an- tagonistic responses of reaction- ary elements within the strugyle for the liberation of our people On Saturday, because certain Muslims disliked the idea of peo- ple honoring Malcolm, they decided to disrupt the program. They did this in the form of throwing chairs at women and children, direct at- tacks on brothers and total dis- regard for the human rights of the people. They revealed them- selves to the people as au enemy, thus lowering themselves to the le- vel of pigs.”’ In San Francisco on Thursday, March 19, 1970 around 3:30 A.M,, a brother came in where we (Panther members) were getting ready to send out to subscribers, their weekly subscription of the Black Panther, Black Cominunity News Service. This brother came in mad a5 a BIG-dog and was yelling, ‘‘where is those Muslims, I'm gonna kill them crazy fools.’’ As the brother calmed down, he be- gan to run down what had hap- pened, The brother told us that he was walking and a Musiim asked him to buy a paper and he sald *thell”’ For speaking in the language of the brothers off the block, these fools jumped on the brother, no, These niggers beat the brother In the eye until it was swollen twice its normal size, tore the brother's clothes, and treated the brother in the same tnanner those foul pigs of the power scruc- ture do all of the time A short time after the brother left, we were told that there was a fight gotng on down the street, We went to check it out. There were ix Muslims attacking the same brother that had just left us and a friend of his. The people that had been watching fin- ally managed to break up this act of brutalization, It is crystal clear that many brothers (especially the young bro- thers who are now members of the Muslims are ready and willing to fight, but because of the mis- guidance by their leadership, the oppressor is able to use them to indermine the strugyle of our peo- ple for National Liberation and National Salvation. li the Muslims choose to act in the manner of fascist pigs, they will surely be dealt with on thar level, The people will not suffer brutality from mislead morons, WE HAVES TO FIGHT TO LIVE! BLACK PANTHER PARTY Richmond Branch QUESTION FROM THE COMMUNITY ANSWERED While working dally in the Black Community these questions have come up over andover again: “How can the Black Panther Party con- tinue to further the Revolution when all of its leaders are being ripped off, either through exile, prison or murder?’ And “Wouldn't the Party be more effective as an underground movement” or “‘per- haps if we were a little less *‘vio- Jent’’ or kept a little more quiet thac the pigs would allow us to function without harassment and therefore, we'd be able to do more for the people.”’ Ifthe vanguard of America, the Black Panther Party, had not been exposing this fascist government for what it is, teaching the peo- ple the correct method for resist- ing the power structure, and imple- menting programs to serve the people, then we would not be at- tacked by the pigs. Niggers apolo- gizing for the Ainerican way, sup- porters of ‘Black capitalism” and the ‘poverty program" are never jailed, brutalized or murdered or under constant investigation by J, Edgar Hog and Company; they are instead given the privileged posi- tion of being the buffer between the pigs and the people. All these ‘mouthpieces for counter-revolu- tion’ have to say {s: ‘these nig- gers are happy; all they need is 4 little “green power’, and Tricky Dick will give the: all the pro- tection and crumbs he can afford, Bootlicking murderous cultura} nationalists like Ron Karenga and THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1970 PAGE 9 THREE PIGS BEAT FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BLACK YOUTH Every year the pig power struc- ture advocates Carnivals and so- called fun-fairs for young people and old ‘to have fun’. The whole concept of ‘fun’ is crap--because the pigs are always hanging a- round to turn {it into a nightmare, The murderous pigs’ prey are the poor people, young and old alike, These pigs clearly mimmick vul- tures that sit on tree branches and wait for the exact mojnent to swoop down and devour their vic- tims. On Friday night, March 20, many youths were attending a fair in San Pablo. There was a lot of excitement in certain areas of the carnival, like the section where people pitched nickels, dimes, and quarters into bowls, Many of the young people were snatching dimes from the bowls and using that money to pitch. Everyone alike was taking part equally, until a pig provacateur stood up and yelled, “‘no more niggers will get any money from the bowls."’ This was the stir note for the blood thirsty pigs to move in, Benny Richmond, a fifteen year old Black youth, was standing there just looking when some idiot swung at him and hit him - Benny de- fended himself, and inthe process, a mad cop pig snuck up behind him and choked Benny until he was almost dead from tack of air. He was weak now, and this was 4 perfect opportunity for this cowardly pig to handcuff the youth and Iterally throw him inthe crul- ser. Even though there were many pigs arriving on the set in dif- ferent cars - two that had oinked up aS Benny was thrown in the cruiser, got in along with the pig abusing Benny, and the three pigs and 15-year-old handcuffed Benny drove off into the night, . AS we rode," said Benny , no one said anything. They (the pigs) acted as if they were mad. We drove about a mile into a deserted area and then Into an alley. | thought they were taking me to jail. When we stopped lL asked them if they would rake off my handcuffs - they hurt so bad, The police officer driving saidhe would take them off when he was fin- ished with me. I was scared by now because I knew | wasn’t at any police station, The policemen got out and then opened my door and pulled me out. The one driv- ing said, ‘when 1 get done with you, you ain’t hitting no more White boys or niggers’. He hit me with his billy club; he was standing in front of me so it bashed my cheek bone. 1 fell down and the next one snatched me up and hit me with his club, he struck the other side of my face in the same place, I fell again and the third police Snatched me by my collar and stood me up. He didn’t use a club, he smashed my jaw with his right fist. He was so big. I know he Is at least 6°6"", 1 guess he figured he’d hurt me more if he used his fist, 1 didn’t remember anything else until 1 woke up in a jailcell, They must have pur me In the car and carried me to the jall - but 1 don’t remember none of that, 1 was in there until 2:00 a.m, - they must have told my father, cause he came and got me.” Benny has been vomitting and aching since that night. He went to the hospital today and had X-rays. The doctor could not find any broken bones, but said Benny must be awakened every three hours, The situation is, that there is damage to the brain, enough so that he cannot get a solid nights Sleep without quite possibly never waking up again. Benny came tothe Black Panther Party because he thought we could do something about what happened to him. We explained to him that under this system of legalized gen- ocide, these pigs would be pro- tected by pigs’ law and pig sta- tuses = but the pigs’ day is com- ing! - That they will be found guilty by the people and they will surely suffer the wrath of the armed masses, SEIZE THE TIME BLACK PANTHER PARTY Richmond Branch Coo Ooo Leroi Jones are not attacked by the pigs. Lackey Leroi was let go On @ gun charge that any bro- ther would do time for - ler go to write more idiotic poems on **Blackness"’ and to continue his dirty work for the pigs. Eldridge was not forced into exile because he was friendly with the pig power structure, and our Gloria Abernathy Minister of Defense Huey P, Newton, Chairman Bobby Seale and Scores of other comrades would not be in jail today if they were not willing to dedicate thelr lives to the cause of Black Liberation, The members of the Black Panther Party are not criminals, Dig the real criminals: Nixon, Ford, Hoff- man, Daley, Hanrahan, Abrams-- they must be dealt with by the peo- ple. On the question of being under- ground, Huey P. Newton says:'*The vanguard party is never under- ground In the beginning of its exist- ence, because this would limit its _ effectiveness and educational pro- cess, How can you teach people if the people do not know and re- spect you?" Being underground would not allow us to combat the lies of the press with The Black Panther Newspaper, or establish the Free Breakfast Program, Free Clothing Program, or Health Cilnics, etc. In the three years the Black Panther Party has existed, contradictions of fascist America have been layed bare be- fore the public eye. This would never have been done if we had been meek and liberal in word and Stagnant in deed, The pigs are enemies of humanity, of all op- pressed people, while we are one with the people. So when the pigs attack us it is good because it clearly shows who we are and what we have accompl{shed, ALL POWER TO“THE PEOPLE!

Bec se of the crying need for adequate and decent housing in our community, the people naturally assumed that this land would be used for hous- ing. And if we could ‘‘determine the destiny of our Bl com- munity,’ the land would, in fact, be used to provide housing for our people However, in the fall of 1}! the Black Panther Party exposed the real plans for this land, And ) the horror anddissatisfactionof the people of Roxbury, the land Is to be used, not for the housing which we need, but for the build- ing of a new police station, a nev ourt house and (dig this) a library, which is in direct ¢ tradiction to our needs Now in 1970, the power ture ts making all-out attempt to pacify the peple by referring t this project as the ‘* Re xbury Civic Center."

The conditioned response of Most people would be to accept @s truth all of the half-truths and The myth explodeshere though, bec: what it all bolls down to more empty promises (‘it could mean more jobs, better schools, tter housing) and standard racist nology and unsound logic. The ‘Teason why wedon’t presently have dequate jobs, better schools and tter housing is due to the cumu- lative effects of institutionalized hite racism! Anyone who would believe anything to the contrary Is Rrossly out of touch with reality, Perhaps the most striking : ‘tn the geographical pro- the identification of block type block),,.In order to allocate each address on the computer- Processed list to its block, tract, etc,, an “address coding guide’’ technique was developed. Black men should be wary of the population item ‘Place of Work", which {s of particular in- terest to the ‘‘users" of census information--so much so that $5 million was expended to prepare for the collection and coding of this information alone! Many brothers In the struggle avoid harassing arrests by using P.O. boxes or relatives’ ad- dresses, but now ‘‘Chuck"’ is tight- ening his thing up by getting work addresses onto computer tapes also.This way, a ‘‘cooperative’’ employer could help the system in the delivering of subpoenas or act- ual busts on brothers at places of employment, The mail system thoroughly ex- poses the detailed involvement of the post office department. Postal carriers will again be used to implement this conspiracy, On March 28, 1970 all census forms will be delivered to many unsus- pecting Black families, It will be our responsibility to hip them to what's going down, Note that only in the urban areas Of high Black concentration is the mail system being used, The Bureaus’ concern for ‘ Dif- ficult-to-Enumerate Areas", Le,, ghettos, is evidenced by the hyper- concern for geographic detail by identifying specific city blocks and ‘block faces.’’ This Information coupled with the concern for de- livering the results of unpublished data Or special tabulations spells doom for the mobility and free- dom of persons so identified in such reports, It is quite concely - able that police departments across the nation could request a special tabulation on all Black males 18-40 years of age so that thoy may continue their murder- ous racist attack onthis particular age group, That this conspiracy is taking on the perspective of a “‘war-time’’ effort or drive is evidenced by the following. COMPLETENESS OF THE 1970 CENSUS COUNT In 1966,,.two coverage-improve- ment methods had already been in- corporated In the design of the 1970 census, both of them were employed in major urban and sur- rounding areas covering a geo- graphically small portion of the country. The census was taken in all kinds of institutions like hospitals, jails, in schools, hotels, missions, rooming houses, army camps, ships at sea, as well as in pri- vate households, in bus depots, all-night movie houses, parked cars, or other such places. ...& majority of nonwhites who were missed were either unreported in enumerated units or were not re- ported in any place they stated, There was increased concentra- tion on what is called ‘‘within- house-hold’’ coverage Improve- ment, ..Residents understood that they were expected to report lod- gers, transients, and casual visitors as well as all family members, but those who did not do so were motivated by fear or suspicion not to report any they wanted to hide from the landlord, the authorities, theirneighbors, or their creditors... With the tempo thus Increased, the Bureau moved into a more refined phase of the conspiracy, THE COVERAGE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE 1970 CENSUS THE PROBLEM The Bureau of the Census has felt increasing pressure for high- quality data applicable to action programs directed toward the poor in general and especially toward the Negro minority,.particularly Negro men between the ages of 18 and 40 years. In summary, there are demands for more and better census statis- tics for use in action programs directed at the Negropoor in small geographic areas, ...The plan Is to distribute and collect nonofficial missed persons forms in settings where men con- gregate away from home; such as bars, poolhalls, barber shops, clubs, and street corners... census employees will be sent to a few of the addresses to check the validity of the name and ad- dress. They will be very careful to protect the source of their infor- mation and will ask the following question: "At some time—- — (name) gave this as his ad- dress; has he stayed here?"" Beet it is necessary to require that the name or address of the es- tablishment where the cards are filled out be placed on each card, (For a more theoretical and documented analysis of the 1970 census, see my article, Census’ 70: Bleuprint for Repression, publish- ed in the March 1970 edition of The Black Scholar.) SUMMARY It was stated Inthe Introduction that this writer’s contention was that the 1970 census Is not an at- tempt to help Black people. Not only is the soul radio ‘‘program'’ founded upon half truths and Hes, it also insults the intellect of the Black community with such child- like logic as, ‘‘Don't let yourself be overlooked like the 2 million+ Black Americans who were mis- sed in 1960,..1f you're really proud of being Black.,,Be counted..,Don't be left out of the 1970 census." confidentiality which is based upon the White man’s laws ts not to be trusted or respected until we have satisfactory answers to questions such as the following: Who Is ‘‘increasing the pres- sure on the Census Bureau"’ for information about, Black males aged 18-407 Can we be certain that local police departments aren't THE SLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1970 PAGE 13 pressuring the Census Bureau for this information? Who {fs really demanding in- formation on this ‘'specific population group’’ of 18-40 year old fighting-age Black men? Who are the ‘consus ad- visors’* who suggested that the most effort should be made tn the largest northern metropoll- tan areas which were ‘places of social unrest’? If the Nixon administration is so concerned about jobs for Black People, why Is it‘‘cool- ing off the economy to curb inflation and thus cutting off millions of potential jobs for Black people? Will a ‘‘good Black census count’ of all Black Americans remove all barriers of institu- tionalized White racism? Why is the mailing system only being used In the urban areas of high Black con- centration? Why were 50 many govern- mental precautions taken to keep the information contained in this article away from the masses of Black people? Based upon documented evidence, it can definitely be said that there is a disproportionate degree of con- cern about how many Black people there are (and about where they are); and, conversely, it can be said that contemporary White racist behavior should cause every thinking Black man to question that disproportionate degree of concern for such precise information about a specific segment of the Black community, l.e., Black males aged 18-40, CONCLUSION in a Bureau of the Census bro- chure entitled ‘200 million Ameri- cans’’ there Is a life expectancy chart showing the’ years of re- maining Ife at various ages by color and sex, At ages 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 the statis- tics show that the White female lives longest, the White male next, the Black female next, and the Black male least of all in all of these age categories! The life expectancy differential is greatest in the Black males aged (you guessed It!) 20-40. This is no accident, this is part of an in- stitutionalized racist conspiracy of oppression against young Black men, The Black man with the ap- propriate Black psychological per- spective must develop appropriate responses and adaptive devices to counter the Intended effects ofthis 1970 census conspiracy. We must think in terms of the effect of a ‘‘bad Black census count "’ If, for instance, the issue is Jobs, better schools, andhomes, it seems that using the ‘‘count'’ philosophy, we should jack up our family numbers by a significant degree to offset the history of tokenism prevalent in the White man's response to Black men's needs, a, If jobs and income are to be con- sidered, let's cut the figure In half thereby messing up the ‘count’ so that this racist society is left where it was from the ‘‘git'’, that is, still having to deal with the inhuman White racist at- titudes and behavior which are the basic reasons why Black people are in need of jobs, housing, and schools. We don't have to respect laws made by White men who don't even respect thelr own laws. When we begin to sue the laws the way he does, he changes them to his advantage every time, or elsetries to disenfranchise the Black man from the status of legitimacy. For instance, the consitutfon guar- antees people the right to bear arms; try walking down any city street with a loaded weapon and see whathappens to the con- stitutional guarantee and you! As s00n as we began to use guns for our protection, gun control laws went into effect; Whites had all the guns they needed, so they changed the laws to their advan- tage in an effort to make it dif- ficult for Blacks to arm them- selves for self-protection, In William H, Grier and Price M Cobb's book, BLACK RAGE they state, ‘For a Black man survival in America depends in large measure on the developmnet of a ‘healthy’ cultural paranoia. He can never quite respect laws which have no respect for him, and laws designed to protect White men are viewed as White men's laws. To brea’ another man's law may be inconvientent if one is caught and punished, but .it can never have the moral consequences Involved in breaking one’s own law."* A further point on laws is that Judge Hoffman in Chicago and Nixon's racist supreme court ap- pointees make respect for lawsa mockery! Southern Whites were recently publically urged by five of their governors not to obey federal laws to desegregate schools. In fact, they were told by one of those racist governors to defy the law by letting the air out of the school busses tires! If five White racist Southern governors are,accorded the right to openly defy Federal Court orders to obey a Federal law upheld in a 1954 Supreme Court decision concerning school desegregation, then I sure have the right to urge all Black people to refuse to cooperate with the racist anti- Black Nixon administration in the 1970 census conspiracy. A Properly filled out census form is a ‘‘yes’’ vote for White racism, Nixon, and Black genocide! If you really want to help all Black Americans, pick up the pen to destroy this racist Federal con- rey against Black males aged TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA A study of history will show that one of the major obstacles that oppressed people have had to deal with in thelr just struggle for free- dom has been the oppressive power structure. This Liberation strug- gle in the Black Colony proves to be no exception, A Rent-a-Nigger organization called the Southern Vanguard Revolutionary Party has emerged in Greensboro, N C, un- der the disguise of trying to solve the drug problem in Greensboro, The Winston-Salem National Com- mittee to Combat Fascism can re- late to anybody trying to get drugs out of the community because we understand that drugs along with the Mass Media are part and par- cel of the apparatus of oppression that the people are up against, But we also say that ‘‘ social prac- tice ts the criterion of the truth." So we're going to judge these nig- gers through thelr social practice to determine {f they are true ser- vants of the people or whether they're just another Rent-a-Nigger organization that the oppressive power structure is using to in- filtrate the revolution in an at- tempt to lead the people's struggle astray. The chairman of this organi- zation is Jose Gonzalez, an agent provacateur from the New Haven Branch of the Black Panther Party This is the same nigger that so mysteriously spilt from the Party right before the frame-up of the Connecticut ‘'8,'' While in the Black Panther Party this nigger’s social practice proved that he was nothing more than an egotistical fool, always greedy for recogni- tion, he even stole clothes and watches from the comrades In the Party, This nigger has been seen in other areas of the states selling .22, suicide pop guns to little brothers who don't know any better, Before this Jack-a-nape Gon- zalez and his fellow lackey, Brad Belcher (who's listed as the Min- ister of Defense), started their own Rent-a-Nigger organization they were going around misleading the people in North Carolina by tell- ing them that they were Field Marshals of the Black Panther Party and that they were sent into the North Carolina area to organ- ize. At this time these same nig- gers along with a few more boot- Uckin niggers are going around wearing Black Leather Jackets, Berets and Party buttons telling people that their Rent-a-Nigger Organization is afiliated with the Black Panther Party which is a lle. The Winston-Salem National Committee to Combat Fascism (which {s a political Bureau of the Black Panther Party) Is the only organization in the State of North Carolina that Is afillated with the Black Panther Party, People of North Carolina and throughout America BEWARE of these niggers who call them- Selves revolutionaries and who use super - revolutionary slogans but through their social practice can be discovered to be either op- portunistic niggers who are just greedily trying to get on the Band Wagon because they think it's the popular trend OR The Lowest of Low-lifed Pigs these bootlicking niggers who are trying to infil- trate the people's righteous strug- gle in an attempt to prolong and maintain their MASTERS oppres- sion over thelr own people.

The students themselves prefer not to use the word oc- cupied, they say; ‘We have lib- erated the Ethiopian embassy in the name ofthe Ethloplan peo- ple."" The students took away the em- blem of the ‘‘emperial embassy"’ from the wall outside the build- ing (you can see that one the pic- tures) and put up a new sign, “This area is liberated by the Ethiopian people."" They also took down and destroyed the portrait of dictator, so called Lion, but in fact American boot-licker Haile Selassie, They destroyed his prop- aganda material, took down prop- aganda posters from the walls and replaced it with their own signs “Down with the feudal- fascistic regime’, ‘‘The people are going to be victorous in Ethiopia" THE LIBERATION OF THE ETHIOPIAN EMBASSY IN STOCKHOLM Background to the Students Mas- sacre The ruthless economic explol- tation and political oppression of the Ethiopian workers and pea- “Stop the murder of the people in Eritrea’’, “The Lion of Juda to Zoo"’ The CH,S ) students went Intothe embassy at o'clock in the morn- ing without any violence, Mr, Halle Miriam, the embassy counselor who Is leading the embassy during the absence of the embassador, was held during the occupation, and th students tried to make him take a stand for their action The students want to stop the embassy from functioning as long as itis an Instrument fora regime that doesn't represent the people They also demand that the Swedish government shall stop its connec- tions with Ethlopla during the pre- sent regime, and they demand the Swedish government to close the embassy, The ‘‘occupation’’ was over at around So’clock in the evening. Then the house was surrounded by an enormous amount of police- sants has forced the students to ® come out in open opposition to the feudal-fascistic rule of the present regime in Ethiopia, Ever since the students came about to oppose the exploitative system of feudalism and. imperialism represented by the dictatorship of Haile-Selassie, they have been the victims of a hitherto unparallelled repression in the annals of the Ethiopian history The students have taken a firm stand against a regime which maintains by brute force a country and people where -959 of the population is il- literate -85% of the school age child- ren do not go to school -717, of the arable land is owned by 0.1%) of the population -the daily wage of a labourer is about Sw.Kr, 2:00 for 10- 12 hours of work -the average income per captta is about Sw. Kr. 300:00 -there are only 75 hospitals for a population of 25 million, one doctor for every 72,000 citizens, one dresser forevery 28,000 and three beds for every 10,000 -approximately 10 million Ethiopians ve in malaria in- festedareas, and the estimated death rate from malaria is about 20,000 per annual -90% of all the enterprises are owned by foreign nationals -there are 70,000 licensed pro- stitutes -the largest number of prison camps in Eastern Africa Is located in Ethiopia These are some of the real- ities now existing in Ethiopia which the students demanded the govern~- ment time and time again to im- prove, Among the issues the students confronted the government with was the land question, a very sen- sitive question in a country where 95°, of the population are pea- Sants and submit 75°) oftheir farm produce to absentee landlords. “Land To The Tiller’’ became a popular demonstration slogan of the students, Subsequent demon- strations led to the government's cancellation of ‘Article 45° of the so-called ‘Constitution’ in which freedom of demonstration was granted. This grant of freedom, as all other ‘freedoms’ granted by the emperor, faced its first trial and led to the ‘anti-demon- stration act’, which resulted in mass arrests and torture of students. Among other student activities which the government found embarrassing was the students revelation of special concentration camps (the largest being in the capital city, Addis Ababa), where the most desperate and poverty- stricken citizens were housed under inhuman conditions {magin- able, Photograph copies smuggled out of the camp presented a most horrible scene: dying people, hun- gry children picking crusts of bread beside dead corps, the tn- sane, the crippled, the leper, the healthy but unemployed, ..all lumped together, These miserable camps of human suffering were set up in an apparent attempt police-busses, and police- men. (It was almost one police- car or bus waiting at each of the doors and brought the students out. This police action was made after an order from Addis Ababa Addis Abeba had been informed about the ‘‘occupation’’ by the Swedish UD (department of foreign affairs) cars When the “occupation the students said We are going to do everything to make the world understand what its going on in Ethiopia, The “ occupation’ wasan attempt to make the world know about the unbearable situation for was over the people in Ethiopia, The emporour is a blood-sucker and he has sold our country ALL POWER TO THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE AND ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE OF ERITREA B_P.P.S,C to decrease the number of paupers loitering the streets which were causing ‘embarrassment’ to a government which had the audacity of engaging itself in the lucra- tive venture of tourism, As usual, the students were beaten up by the police, Early last spring, when the students pointed the crisis in ed- ucation facing the country (there are only 3,500 students In the higher Institutions of learning for a population of 25 million), the regime reacted with a series of repressive measures in which at least twenty students were killed and hundreds were detained, It banned all student organisations and prohibited the publication of student papers. The Events of the Massacre Beginning about the second week of December last year, the govern- ment owned newspapers and the radio poured avalanches of attacks and threats against students, These attacks and threats were to become the prelude to the tragedies that followed, One of the papers threatened, ‘If they (the students),,.try to plot to destroy what has been In exis- tence for thousands of years in Ethiopia, the law can take care of them."’ And another added, “And + + PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE ADDRESS TO YOUTH GRADUATES “1970, THE YEAR OF INTERNATIONAL PLOTS” ‘1969 was the year of Arabplots and 1970 will be that of international conspiracies'’ against the Pales- tintan Revolution, Abu Ammartold the first batch of graduates froma Fateh Palestinian Youth Camp (age range 14 to 17). The official Fateh spokesman and chairman of the PLO Execu- tive Committee told the huge turn- out for the graduation ceremony on Jan, 30: The Four Big Powers convene in an attempt to decide on the des- tiny of our people, From thts place, and in your name--in the name of the Palestinian Revolution and the Arab masses- | tell them that the revolution and the masses willac- cept only one solution over which there shall be no compromise or retreat; it is the solution emana- ting from the barrel of the gun ‘*Let them convene and hammer out American, British and French projects But the Palestinian Revo- lution realizes that its only path is armed struggle..."’ Turning to the graduates of the Youth Camp which was opened somewhere in Jordan last No- vember, Abu Ammar told them: ‘‘You shoulder a great responsi- bility, the responsibility of re- covering the usurped homeland, the responsibility of our genera- tion which was defeated because it jJaid down its arms intentionally or unintentionally in 1948, This was the mistake of our people then. You are asked not to put down your arms.,.You are the generation of victory, the generationof al-Kara- * meh, Arkoub and Ghor Safi. ‘“‘There are many plots being wo- ven against you and your brethren on the frontline and in Palestine and it is your task to foil them and to carry on with the revolution un- til victory, “1969 was the year of Arabplots and 1970 will be that of international conspiracies,.."’ Two days later, on February 1, Abu Ammar told the Associated Press that Palestinian commando successes were causing serious military and political differences among Israeli leaders in sharp contrast to the unity of purpose of the Palestinian resistance move- ment, He said the commando move- ment seeks as an ultimate objective of its liberation struggle” the es- tablishment of a unitary, demo- cratic non-sectarian Palestine State in which Jews, Christians and Moslems will have equal rights and obligations, irrespective of race, color or creed He said; ‘Implementation ofour final goal depends on many factors. There are factors relating to the revolution itself, to the Arabcoun- tries, the international situation and to world Zionism. **But weappreciate the many dif- ficulties in our way and we take them into consideration, The road may be a long one but we shall win. Of that there ts no doubt,’ “We are going to win,”’ he as- Serted, ‘‘we know exactly what we want and we know our way per- fecuy, We have stages in our strategy and those that already have passed have beet far more successful than we expected, “Now we are in the stage of im- ited confrontation and we can definitely say the Palestine Revo- lution has started on the way to liberation,”’ Questioned about President Nixon's latest arms pledge to Israel and whether there would be any retaliation against American interests, Abu Ammar replied: “Our campaign plans are not based on reaction to outside events. We already have evaluated our friends and enemies and this (Nixon's pledge) comes as no sur- prise. ‘Unfortunately the policy of the US government ts an offensive pol- icy not only against the Palestine Revolution but also against all Arabs."’ Abu Ammar warned that the re- cent extension of Maj, Gen, Halm Bar Lev's term of office as Is- rael’s chief of staff may herald a further escalation of the Pales- tine conflict, He recalled that there have been only two occasions when the chief of staff has remained at his post longer than the normal three years, The first was when Gen, Moshe Dayan remained tomastermind the tripartite Sinai campaign of 1956 against Egypt and the second when Maj. Gen, Yezthak Rabin stayedon at the time of the June War, In the occupled Gaza Strip, he noted, thousands of Palestinians are waging & ‘people's war’ a- gainst Israeli occupation forces. “The Palestine Revolution no longer relies only on its several thousand commando fighters,’’ he said. ‘‘In Gaza for instance there is people's war, Old men, women and children are fighting, ‘In Haifa and Acre, Palestinian Arabs who the Israelis have tested for years are fighting on our side."’ Abu Ammar reminded that Dayan has admitted collective punishment against the Palestinians was nec- essary to prevent the occupied ter- ritories falling under the control of Fateh, He also reminded that the Israeli occupation troops have Jailed 16,000 Palestinians for aiding the commandos and have blown up 8,000 of their houses. ‘‘Our people are living under virtual curfew,” he stated. ‘No one talks about that," he remarked ‘‘but when we capture one Israeli the whole world hears about him.’* He noted that Israel was trying to conceal the seriousness of the resistance movement inside pled territory and added was being alded in this by the Western press. > He sald the Israelis were re- lying upon what he described as the ‘‘strategy of the dam,"* “They are continually up their morale behind. ths tars wall, But once a crack appears everything will go."" —————————— the authoritles concerned cannot for long manifest mercy,...Last week's suspension of the student publications ts a step in the right direction, That step must be followed to {ts logical conclusion,'* Having thus prepared the gound by its false and malicious prop- uganda, the government undertook a series of provocative steps to crush down student resistence, On the evening of December 28, 1969, the newly elected president of the University Students Union of Addis Abata, Tilahun Gizaw, was walking on his way home with his sister and. brother when an unplated car drove slowly passed them and a man inthe car fired three pistol shots all of which hit Tilabun, All three shots were deadly, Tilahun fell to the ground and the car disappeared.

Blake punched her in her face with one of his hoofs and punched this pregnant sister, Rosemary, in her stomach! Connie punchedhim inhis head; so Blake grabbed his black-jack and hit Rosemary in her head with it. In the midst of the confusion, Blake also punched Karen Vin- - cent, who was also pregnant, in the stomach. , Meanwhile, their baby sister, Nina, got extremely upset in the face of all the brutality and be- gan screaming and crying. ** Please - don’t hurt my sisters? Please don’t hurt my sisters! They're pregnant!

During this, two of Rizzo's finest faggots had entered the store und grabbed Rosemary and Karen, Seeing that this swine, Blake, looked like he was going to purposely step on Nina, who was still on the floor, Karen broke away from the pigs and ran to their sides, telling them, ‘'Get off my little sister! Just leave her our of iti'’ Nina managed to smack him whereupon Blake 12. her go. The 20-year-old man, who was _ trying to defend the sister, swung open the door and Nina tore out _ of the store, coatless, A White man who owns the nearby cleaners : ed Betty Bright’s, came out- _ side and yelled to the pigs, ‘*See that Little one running! The one without a coat on! She's in {: too! She’s in ft too! You all bet- ter get her before you can’t catch her!" There, this fool, who knew Me othing about what was goliig down, turned to the pigs and said, ‘toh, never mind, You can’t catch her ‘ow because she’s gone.” _ The pigs (badge numbers 6135 and 4327) took Rosemary, Karen and Connie, threw them in the ‘meat wagon and took them to the A pen at 22nd and Hunting Park fr ¢.

Ignoring the sign ‘‘For Policemen Only” on the door, she entered the room. Naturally this set the pigs to oinking at her about her presence there, but Mrs. Vincent remained strong. The pigs refused to give her a satisfactory answer as to why her daughters were ar- rested, who the officer of the day was, or even anybody’s name. They merely kept oinking that the chil- dren were arrested, The two preg- nant girls told their mother that they had been punched in the sto- mach, and Mrs, Vincent asked to take them to the hospital. With their characteristic disregard for human life and welfare, the pigs refused until Mrs. Vincent threar- ened to call the papers and her lawyer. The pigs relented through they didn’t let her ride with her daughters. At the hospital, the pigs per- petrated further ambiguity. The two sisters were being examined by the gynecologist, when the pigs sitting right at the door pulled the curtain open with the two sisters laying EXPOSED on the tablel! Mrs. Vincent, of course, was fu- rious and rightfully told this low- lifed, perverted maniac that if they wanted protection it was their place to get & matron, not 4 man, to go with a young lady to get examined! The pigs refused this!] The doc- tor at Woinen's Medical College, wher diey had been taken, told Karen, a‘cec they had been exa- mined, to watt while she got her the medicine for the pain. Rose- mary had already been examined, so the pigs were taking her back to the wagon and Karen told them that she was walting for her me- dicine, One of these inhuman swines told her, ‘“‘Well, I don’t care. You're just getting back Into the wagon, You can die.’’ They threw her back iato the wagon and took them back to 220d and Hunting Park. Rosemary was taken to 8th and Race (Pig Administration Build- ing), Upon arriving there, Mrs. Vincent contacied Rosemary's pri- vate obstetcician as adviced by the doctor at Women’s Medical be- cause Rosemary was having con- tractions. The doctor asked to speak to the Officer of the Day and again the pigs refused togive out names. or badge: numbers. None of them had the decency to speak to the doctor. Finally, af- ter about 50 minutes, Mrs, Vin- cent’s sister explained the situa- tion to a D,A, and tried to get in touch with the docior and the sergeant, A pig secgoadut oinked that if the young lady complained he would “‘see that she got to a hospital, but the hell with taking her where she wanted to go.” In Mrs. Vincent's own words, “they didn’t do anything that they were supposed to do, nobody wanted to tell you anything, They acted just Like animals, acted just like a bunch of BARBARIANS, Just what they are!’’ Back at 22nd and Hunting Park, Karen and Connie wee: locked up in a cell. Karen was refused a glass of water, though she wasn't fecling well. When they began singing ‘'We Shal! Overcome’, the pigs pur a big padlock on the door and turned out all the lights, They RENT A PIG BEATS TWO PREGNANT SISTERS stayed there until an officer from the Juvenile Ald Division let them out one at a time, In 4 subse- quent conversation, the officer from the J,A,D., policewoman Ba- ker, told Mrs. Vincent that the girls should asver have been locked up In the cell because that is not where juveniles are kept. Also, she said that she had had trouble with Blake before and that he should not be a security guard at all, that she can't stand to have him around her and that he Is one of the most undesirable persons that you want to meet. Pig Blake is known in the com- munity for his piggish deeds. He once told Connie Vincent to meet him at a church at 20th and Tyoga. Connie didn’t go, but told her aunt, Ophelia Turner, who went to the store and confronted him with it. At first, Blake jived around, oink- ing that he was just having fun with her, whereupon Mrs. Turner told him that Connie was nothing for him to have fun with. Pig Blake grew angry, having the nerve to oink that if she (Connie) ever came back in there he would get herl! Another instance of this pig’s swinishness is when Mrs, Turner sent her nephew to the store to buy her a pair of stockings. Being that she is particular about the shade of her stockings, she gave him an old pair to match colors with the stockings in the store, Blake saw the child with the old pair of stock- ings that his aunt had given him, grabbed and accused him of steal- ing! Naturally when the manager searched him, all he could find was the old raggedy, worn pair of stockings his aunt had given him. Still another example of Idiot Blake's mentality is the incident where one of Mrs. Vincent’s young sons was running down the aisle in the market and Blake threat- ening to knock him down, When Mrs. Vincent went around to the market to see him about it, he lied, and said that he never hit anyone's children, Mrs. Vincent resorted to send- ing her children eight blocks to the store rather than around the corner to A & P, She had asked the pigs at 22nd and Hunting Park to investigate it when the harass- ment began and also the store management, but nothing was done about it. ‘At this stage of the game, I’m turning it over to the Black Panthers and whatever they do, I'm with them,” said Mrs. Vincent when we interviewed her. **l want the market sued, I want pig Blake sued and | want himcom- pletely out of the neighborhood|" As for Rosemary Cooper, she had to be rushed to Pennsylvania Hospital at 2 o'clock a.m., Fri- day morning and was confined to bed by her doctor to see if she might have a miscarriage, Her baby’s heart beat is extremely faint after the beating and it might possibly be affected by her be- cause of her Injuries. How much longer must Black people suffer these injustices, bru- tality and murder before they move in a concerted fashion against these pigs who police the very air of our community?‘*The racist dog police must withdraw imme- diately from our community, cease their wanton murder and brutality and torture of Black people or face the wrath of the armed people’’--Huey P, Newton, Min- ister of Defense, Black Panther Party.

BLOOD TO THE HORSE'S BROW AND WOE TO THOSE WHO CAN-~ NOT SHOOT, BLACK PANTHER PARTY Philadelphia Branch THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1970 PAGE 15 THE ULTIMATE POWER OF THE PEOPLE... When the ordinary Black person looks at the vastness of this coun- try and the world wide power it possesses, he can not help feeling that there Is very little that hecan do to change the racist system un- der which he is forced to exist, He, no doubt, feels powerless-- but that is because he has for- gotten the one power that he does have, the power to destroy.....as Eldridge so aptly put it, ‘the power to throw a ‘nigger wrench’ in the machinery’. It sounds good, but still i's hard to concelve of that power and its real strength, the true force involved, and the con- sequences evoked by that power. To see the potential of that power, we have only to look at the strikes that have been going down all over the country lately for in- stance, the strike in the city of San Francisco about a week ago-- the city was Immobilized toalarge extent as city employees went on strike. The power of the workers! A strike crippled the city affecting everyone, even those areas that were not touched directly by striking workers, felt the affects of the strike as city workers, bus drivers, hospital workers, cafe- terla workers In schools, jani- tors and many others, numbering approximately 14,000, refused to work and/or to cross picket lines, It may seem small, workers going on strike for better working con- ditions but the point is that the San Francisco city employees stopped that city from ‘running smoothly’ until Mafioso Alloto was forced to deal with the demands of the workers. Weeks ago in Philadelphia, when the sanitation workers went on strike, they made that city feel the might of the workers--they refused to have an ex-pig be their boss and as the garbage piled up, the pig was forced to bow his filthy head and withdraw, It was a vic- tory, though small, it serves as an example that victories can be won, Now the mall carriers, postal workers, are on strike, They have effectively cut the New York com- munications lines with the rest of the country.,.though one can call or wire, the postal workers have backed up mail and are costing business thousands of dollars each day. The seriousness of the sit- uation can be seen by the steps that the government has taken to break the strike... bringing In the military, to theproposed number of 175,000. The strike ts effective and the government ts dealing with the problem as an almost crisis situation, These strikes, just the sheer idea of staging effective strikes, show that workers are be- ginning to relate to the problem confronting them as a group, and they also show that an effective strike can bring an ‘‘omnipotent administrator’’ to the point of hav- ing to listen to the workers, the people, The workers have already proven that the power does belong to the people and that the pigs can only maintain an orderly system as long as we allow it. Relate to it, the sheer beauty of workers ex- erting thelr power and pointing out the real force, the real power that belongs to the people, Forget the size of the country. Don't even bother to think about the so-called ‘‘influence’’ that this country supposedly has, The people make this country and they can bring it down, The ultimate power belongs to the people: the high and mighty image of this country can be crushed; the pigs can be stopped, Babylon can be reducedto ashes or It can be made into a people's state...all this can be done by the power that we all possess---‘‘the power to throw a ‘nigger wrench’ into the ma- chinery’’. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Judi Douglas Deputy Comm, Sec, MOBILIZING THE MASSES With the incarceration (jatling) of Bobby Seale, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, there has come a graye situation that must be dealt with immediately. The situation is simply this: we must put an end to this mad-dog plot of the pigs to murder Chairman Bobby in the electric chair in Conn- ecticut. How are we going to doit? By mobilizing the masses, That ts what the Community Information Centers are all about, They're to mobilize and organize the people into a potent and powerful political force to deal with the Injustices of repressive, fascist America, With these objectives in mind under the NCCF (National Com- mittees to Combat Fascism), (the Bobby Seale Community In- formation Center), organizing bur- eau of the Black Panther Party located at 1690-10th Street, West Oakland, held its first community meeting on Sunday, March 22 at 5:00 pm. The community response was good, with anywhere from 70- 75 community people in attendance. The people ofthe community, real- izing the necessity and importance of the meeting were 90% on time, The meeting itself consisted of discussing for programs for serv- ing the people that the Center Is now involved tn: (1) Free Breakfast for Chitd- ren Program (now in operation) (2) Free Food Program (now in operation) (3) Free Clothing Program, and (4) Free Medical Program The people’s response was en- thustastic and just plain right on! We then showed the people two films: the May Day rally and the Face the Nation Interview with the Chief of Staff of the Black Panther Party, David Hilliard, This was something that the people really enjoyed, with many of them stating that they support the Party and that they will do anything that they can to help. Many people took large coples of the Manifesto home to put on their doors and in their windows. This is truly the spirit of the people manifested In rey- olutionary action. What the people are telling the pigs, Is that they are foul, depraved, low-lifed beast of an undesired nature who have laughted at the people's needs and mocked at thei- rights, The response was such to this first meeting that hereafter there will be a community meeting at the COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTER EVERY SUNDAY AT 5:00 PM The ignorant swine of the biggest pig sty in the world had better realize that the people are not going to stand for this literal murder of Bobby Seale, which is only & prelude Geginning)to mass murder, better known as genocide of and all oppr peoples voearo at heb ha but one word 0 arrogant Yankees (pigs): Y' BETTER WATCH OUT, ‘BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE OUT TO GET YoU- FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISON- NCCF, Bobby Seale Community Information Center ‘ THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1970 PAGE 16 CONT. FROM PG, I4 LIBERATION OF ETHIOPIA When the news reached the students they carried the body of their dead leader to the University campus so as to make sure that the proper autopsy was performed, and to see to it that not only he got a decent burial in full view of the people of the city but also to make sure that students as well as the general public were told the truth about the cold-blooded murder, On the following day, December 29, 1969, the University students went around to all high schools in the city and asked students to at- tend the funeral of the dead student leader, Thousands of students then proceeded to march to the Univer- sity to pay their last respects to Tilahun, As this was going on the govern- ment deployed troops and riot police-fully armed and ready for battle-around the University. The government also attempted to pre- vent high school and elementary grade students from making to the University. In the confrontations that ensued In the various places of the city many students were wounded and some killed At the University, the govern- ment wanted to take the body from the students, but the latter tried to argue with them against it. Shortly after that and without any provocation, the police and the Body-Guard opened fire. Nobody seems to know the pre- cise number of students killed and wounded The Reuter correspon- dent in Addis Abeba reported that he himself had seen over 10 dead bodies at the University.

For many years now the students have demanded basic human rights, land reforms, and general improvement in the political and economic conditions of the country. To these demands the feudo-fascist regime reacted with mass arrests, torture, and killing of innocent students, It is only after having tried all means of protest in vain that the students came to the only possible stand, namely, that of liberating Ethippia peice by peice through the use of force. The liberation of the Ethiopian Embassy is one such step, The existance of the Embassy in Sweden has never been inthe in- terest of the Ethiopian people but that of a single man - dictator Haile Selassie, Until a represen- tative government of the Ethiopian people is established, we declare the Embassy closed as from today We ask all freedom loving people of Sweden to side with the op- pressed masses of the Ethioplan people LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE OF THE ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE!

Mind busting trickery is being implemented by the ruling class reactionary forces to confuse the American people. To rally new for- ces from the ranks of the mother country and to further divide, con- fuse, and destroy the colony with as little resistance as possible is it's purpose. To submit to the atrocities that are being implemented against Black people is to accept 4 living death, That's the sell-out price. That is when the desire to be free has been suppressed, the fighting spirit is gone and the only desire left is to live. When the panic button is pushed by some fool in the White House and a national emergency is de- clared, then barbed wire, bayonets, passes, prison and death will be- come common place. The Mc- Curran Act will let the sleeping niggas know right quick that an unarmed people are subject to slavery at any given moment, The Black Panther Party, under the leadership of Huey P, Newton has pushed forward risking all in order to expose to you--the people--the true nature of this decadent American society, and then give you the correct methods of resisting the pig power struc- ture. Those who remain in orbit, expecting the old ruling class to give up the goodies are crazy, for it’s. people power that will balance out in the final analysis— people power, not dream power. When a column of 8,000 Jews were on there way to Ponar, 4 concentration camp, to be mur- dered, the parents told their chil- dren, “‘Don’t be afraid, darling, we are on the road to heaven,” Well, all I can say to thar is if that’s the road to heaven, you take it—I'm going to stay down here In hell and deal with these devils.

The strike which of- fically started February 1, 1970, is a clear example of stregnth and power that poor people have used to change their positions in this oppressing society. The 42 tenants are disgusted and firmly opposed to the living conditions on this pro- berty, These people live with rats, roaches, no central heating, faulty plumbing, | broken fire extinguish- er,an out-dated fire escape ladder, etc. Technically, this building dhould have been condemned years ago because the same conditions existed then as now; yet the Board of Health who checks the build- ing at least twice a year has not declared that the bullding(829 Fell St.) should be condemned nor have they moved on Paramount Proper- tles (the owners) to change these conditions, Point #4 of the Black Panther Party's Platform and Program vowce of a party, the voie of the Panther must be heard throughout the land.’ The line dividing the progressive people from the machinery of oppression is ever widening as the people begin to realize thar there can no longer be a middle of the road position with regards to freedom for the people of the world; however, it has only been within the past four years that the ameriKKKan people have shed their rose-colored glasses and patriotic blinders to face the reality of what their country was doing to the world's popu- Jation. With the realization of the amerikKKan role came the closer ex- amination of all the things that had really never been questioned before....the *“ameriKKKan dream’, the foreign policy, the treatment of minority peoples within this society, the real role of the ‘police’ and the press, We found we as citizens July 1967--Minister of Defense, Huey P, Newton (right) and Chairman, Bobby Seale (left), reading an early edition of B.

Micheal Smith understands that if people could not agree with any other point of the 10 Point Plat- form and Program that point num- ber 4 is enough to unite behind and pick up the gun to protect your family and yourself, Micheal sees a much deeper reason for having a rent strike than demanding lower rent and/or adequate repairs. He sees poor oppressed people striving to meet their basic needs.,.trying to sur- vive...and being denied their right to exist. This attempt by the bulld- ing owners (who are only another surpressing appendage of this racist society) to keep poor people living under conditions that are harmful and dangerous to their existence is a form of genocide that many people especially in the Black community, are being sub- jected to dally, Article Il of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide adopted by the United Nations In 1948, States that ‘‘Deliberately inflict- ing on the group conditons of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction In whole or in part is an act of GENOCIDE.” Such conditions exist at 829 Fell Street and throughout this country where streets just like this one exist.

We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl- edge of self.

We want all black men to be exempt from military service. We believe that Black people. should not be forced to fight in the mifi- tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary. 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people. We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constittion of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense 8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails. We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial. 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We beileve that the courts should follow the United States Constitution 30 that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a manss right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, en- vironmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and naturg’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life. liberty. and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru- dence, indeed. will dictate that governments long established should not he changed for light and transient causes: and. accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer. while evils are sufferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed, Bul, when a long train of abuses and Usurpations, pur- suing ins ariably the same object. evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern- ment, and to provide new guards for their future security. anon cole ‘ ‘ | ‘ , | N | N | ‘ | : | S | S | ‘ | ‘ , | N | N | ‘ | N | N | N ‘ * , = FOI IIR IR I I FOR IRI IR IRI IOI I I IK IK I IA ID A IIA I IA AAA “TF THE ENEMY REFUSES TO GET OUT ANNIHILATE HIM” *« * * * * * * * * * * * * *« x * * * *« * * *« * * x x * * * x 4 * * os * * a4 *« KK * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * a * * * * * * * FOP IK IK IO FORO III IOI IOI IOI IOI III kk te te * a te Ok I kkk kk i hth kk IOI tk IK I I te
