He has launched a cam~ paign to control the News Media, He has moved to pack the Supreme Court with White racist pig reactionaries like himself, He has drastically widened the war in = BY ELDRIDGE CLEAVER MINISTER OF INFORMATION BLACK PANTHER PARTY South East Asia, This is naked Fascism in operation, Pig-Hearted Nixon has only begun to carve out his cowardly new world, He is just laying his foundations now, What Brother Malcolm said of this pig system sounds even Clearer now than when he said it: “You’re dealing with a cold, calculating international machine that’s so criminal in its objectives and motives that it has the seeds of its own destruction within? ' The only way out of the Death Trap into which the pigs have turned the world is for the people to rise up and take the power outof thehands of the pigs, destroy the twisted machinery of oppression which these pigs have developed, and rearrange things in such a way that the pigs will never be able to gain control again. This is not an impossible task, Through a process of mysti- fication, the pigs try to make it look as though itis a superhuman job to administer public affairs, Because they have so much to hide, the only confusing thing about government is all the lies that these forked-tongued demagogic politicians tell in order to conceal the truth from the people, When you wipe away all the lies, there is only common sense to be dealt with and simple mathematics, The special hypocritical language that the pigs have developed with which to discuss public affairs is designed to confuse people and keep them in the dark, so that the pigs can step forward, oink in a microphone, and the people are left more confused and undecided than ever before, Everyone should be outraged at what these pigs have done and continue stubbornly to do to our world, In our hearts and minds, we have condemned the actions of these pigs, but it is necessary for us to implement this condemnation by forcibly restraining them from continuing to do the very things that we, the people, condemn and reject, ‘ It is a hopeless people which has ceased to care about what its government is doing, It takes a criminal people to knowingly allow its government to carry out crimes against the Human Rights of the people, It takes a con- fused people to allow its government to wage a war of aggression in the name of peace, and to suppress ag- grieved and misused people at home in the name of Law and Order, And it takes a stupid people to allow its government to be the gravedigger for humanity.

As the enemy attacks us, we must counter attack by any means necessary However, the effective- ness of a counter attack may de- pend upon the knowledge of how the enemy moves. Law enforce- ment agencies have devised various methods to destroy by imrpison- ment or murder our free freedom fighters who are harassed every- day. These tools of oppression that we have to cope with In one form or another are: Investigations, In- terviews (for the purpose of ob- taining Information), Informants, Surveillance, and Undercover Agents (this would also include the dirty operations of the CIA), There is also another field used by fascist law enforcement agen- cles which is known as ‘‘Special- ized-firearms, tracing materials, hair and fibers (for identification), invisible radiation, handwriting identification and typewriting iden- tification, Finally there is another field of operations used against us. They are: Arrests and Apprehen- sions Searches and Raids. As you may notice this last section Is employed quite regularly against the Black Panther Party in an at- tempt to destroy it. This article will cover the methods of ‘investigation.’ This section deals with how information is obtained through interviews by fascist law enforcement agencies. Later articles will cover other ways in which information can be obtained. The information below is used by trained police and other pig law enforcement agencies. Also the majority of this information is taken directly from the text which is used to train police per- sonnel. INTERVIEWS |. Introduction. The effectiveness of an investi- gator is largely dependent upon his ability to obtain information from complainants, witnesses, infor- mants, and suspects, There is a complainant or a victim some physical evidence of the crime; and perhaps, a suspect. The gap between these simple facts anda finished case that can be success- fully presented in court can be bridged only by patient and intell- igent questioning. A, Building the Case. The ele- ments of the offense must be estab- lished, Identification must be ob- tained. B, Tracing. If the suspect is missing, the investigator is faced with the problem of tracing. He must know the availabe sources of information, official and un- official. Depending upon the tech- nique he employs while inter view- ing these people, he may come away with all the desired data available or he may obtain only a few Scatterd facts of doubtful value. He must, moreover, develop in these persons a willingness to testify or make formal written statements if necessary. 2. Interview An ‘‘interview’’ is the question- ing of a person who Is believed to possess knowledge that is of official interest to the investigator. In an interview the person quest- toned usually gives his account of the incident under investigation or offers information concerning a person being investigated in his Own manner and words. 3. Importance The greater part of an investi- gation is usually devoted to inter- views. In most cases interviews are the only source of information. 4. Qualifications of the Interviewer er should have the qualities of a Salesman, an actor, and a psycho- logist, He is called upon to sub- Ject strangers to extensive quest- loning on topics of varying sensi- tivity, an 3 . The relationship ’ the intervelwer and the subject usually determines the success of the investigation. By establishing rapport with the subject, the investigator may be able to unloose a ‘flood’ of useful information, The interrogator must endeavor to win the confi- dence of the subject wherever this is possible, since a complete vol- untary offer of information is the ideal result of an interview, Where this is not possible the interro- gator may have to rely onthe force of his personality or trickery, per- sistence or other qualities or re- sources which he may possess. B. Personality. The primary trait which the interviewer should possess Is that of forcefulness of personality, He should instinct- ively induce confidence by the Strength of his character so that the subject trusts him on the first meeting and tends to seek his assistance in confiding to him, ing confident and from controlling through his composure, the amount and kind of information which he gives. The investigator must dominate the situation. He needs every psychological advantage which can serve to induce candor, The interviewer mustrespect him to the point where he is extremely hesitant to withhold or color in- formation, Obviously, the investi- gator’s own office is the ideal place, B, Time, As a general prin- ciple, an interview should take place as soon as possible after the event. Moreover he has had litte time to contemplate any awkward consequences resulting from his giving the informa- tion 6. Crimingi Cases The maraer in which the inter- view is cr nducted will vary with dy i, hs Weel =. THE BLACK PANTHER, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1970 PAGE 37) 4 Technique of Questioning, Questions should not be asked until the person appears prepared to give the desired information in an accurate fashion, Direct ques- tions have a restraining effect and will not be suitable until! the witness has given his own story and is ready to cooperate in giv- ing additional information. a) One question at a time. A multiplicity of questions tends to confuse the person being inter- viewed and detracts from the orderly conduct of the interview. b) Avoiding the Implied An- swer Theinterview becomes futile if the answers are suggested in the questions. The objective is to find out what the person knows, Suggesting the answer defeats the purpose of the interrogation. c) Simplicity of Questions. Long, complicated, legalistic questions only serve to confuse and irritate. d) Saving Face, If his answers tend to give rise to anembarrass- ing situation by reason of his ex- aggerations or errors in matters of time, distance, and description, the investigator should cooperate with him and permit him to ‘save his face,’ “... And did you voluntarily accept a free, hot meal from known Black Panthers at nine a.m., September nine, nineteen hun‘ert an’ sixty-nine?’ Absence of any exagerated pro- vincialism or racial traits is de- sirable to avoid any clash with the subject's prejudices. c Breadth of Interests, To establish rapport with a witnessor a Complainant, it may be nec- essary to create a meeting ground of interest. Obviously, the range of the investigator's interests must necessarily be broad {if it is to cover those of many of the wit- nesses and subjects with whom he will come tn contact, NOTE An interview is not to be confused with an interro- gation. Interrogation is a dif- ferent means of obtaining in- formation from reluctant peo- ple and suspects where other means have failed, (This sub- ject will be covered in a later article.) 5. Place and Time In planning an interview, the in- vestigator should, as a general rule, select a place which will provide him with a psychological advantage and conduct the ques- tioning as soon as possible after the occurance. Naturally this rule must be modified to sult the needs and nature of the case, A. Important Criminal Cases, The investigator should arrange to interview witnesses in important cases at places other than his home or office, Unfamiliar surroundings will prevent the witness from feel- the relationship of the subject to the matter in question, The follow- ing are the usual stages of this type of interview: A. Preparation, Before Inter- viewing a witness, the investigator should mentally review the case and consider what information the witness can contribute. B Warm-up. The first few minutes will determine the tenor of the interview. If the investi- gator permits a clash of person- alities or creates a tense atmos- phere, the witness may tighten up and be reluctant to divulge all of his information. When he feels that the witness {s in a communicative mood, he should turn the conver- sation toward the witness's know- ledge of the case under investi- gation, C. Questioning. The elements of the offense and other points in the case should guide the inves- tigator in his questioning. 1. Guiding the conversation, The investigator must control the interview so that complete and accurate information is obtained. 2. Corroborating. Information obtained from one witness should be correlated with that obtained from others, 3. Inaccuracies, Questionable points should be treated repeated- ly by recording queries and by additional question, e) Yes’ and ‘‘No'’ Questions, Insisting on ‘‘yes'’ and ‘‘no’’ an- answers is not only unfair but results in inaccurate answers and prevents a flow of information. f) Positive Attitude, The pos- itive approach should always be employed. Timidity and lack of confidence are easily detected by the average man, 7. Dominating the Interview. The invesitgator’s confidence and authority communicate them- selves to the witness, Hesitancy and doubt encourage evasion; weakness fosters resistance, Ifthe witness appears to be one whowill be difficult to control, small psychological gestures will bring him under control. The difficult witness must learn quickly that the investigator intends to dominate the situation, 8. Techniques for Controlling Di- gression if the interviewer has not mastered the technique of avold- ing rambling discourses, his in- terviewing will tend to be marked- ly ineffictent and he may fai! to obtain the desired information A. Questions should be con- structed as precisely as possible in order to restrict the range of information which the subject can give in answer. 9. Types of Interviews. The investigator must suit his techniques of interviewing to the varied personalities that are en- countered in life, Some typical classes are discussed here with appropriate recommendations. Within each class one should ex- pect to find wide variations. — A Children (Wherever pos- sible permission should” be obtained before interview ing child- ren, Attempts to secretly use children as informants can cause serious embarrassment through the complaints of the parents.) B. Boys. Most boys are alert. The boy will usually describe events and objects as they ap- peared to him. Cc. Girls She can be an ex- cellent source of information be- cause she observes with interest events intrinsically (essentially) boring, D Young Persons, The in- tense preoccupation of young peo- ple with themselves prevent them from being ideal witnesses, @. Middle-aged Persons. A middle-age person is often the ideal witness, F. Older Persons, Physical impairment and a tendency to re- gress into self-preoccupation seriously affects the value of older persons as witness. 10, Types and Attitudes of Sub- jects. The investigator must endeavor to classify the subject as soon as possible after beginning the inter- view. He must then adjust his method of interviewing to the type of personality and attitude which he is encountering. The following is a list of some of the person- alities and attitudes which the in- terviewer will meet; A. Know-Nothing Type. Some persons are reluctant to act as witnesses, An extensive warm-up followed by persistent questioning may yield resusits. Another tech- nique is that of presenting the sub- ject with a great many questions to which he cannot reply that he knows nothing, and then leading to the relevant questions. B. Disinterested Type. The un- cooperative, indifferent person must be aroused. His interest should be stimulated by stressing the importance of the information he possesses, c Drunken Type. Flattery will encourage the drunk to re- spond to questions and develop an interest. At times the drunk can be the best of all witnesses since he is inspired by his own potent truth serum, D. Suspicious Type. His fears must first be allayed, An effort should be made to win him over on the grounds of good citizen- ship, Failing this, the investigator should employ psychological pres- sure, E Talkative Type, The gar- rulous witness merely requires management, F. Honest Witness. He should first be convinced of the inves- tigator’s mission, namely the dis- covery of truth, and disabused of any notion that the investigator is determined to punish or persecute the subject. G, The Deceitful Witness, The witness who is obviously lying can often be brought into the inves- tigator’s camp by careful maneu- vering. About five minutes should be spent by the investigator in discoursing with great gravity on the seriousness of the witness’ offense, namely false representa- tions to an officer of the law during an official investigation. The average person is ‘naware that no such offense exists He will feel vaguely that he is punti- shable under the law.Now he has an excellent motive for telling the truth, namely, self- pre- servation. H The Timid Witness, The investigator must employa friend- ly approach and should spend some time in explaining thar the infor- mation obtained will be treated as confidential matter. 1, The Boasing, Egotistic, or Egocentric Witness, Patience and flattery are necessary in dealing with the vain or self-centered per- son, He is potentially an excellent witness because of hisdrive toward self-expression, J. Refusal to Talk. The wit- ness who will say nothing is the most difficult of all types. If he is a shrewd criminal with a record he will probably remain silent, With other types the investigator must persevere. Neutral topics should be chosen to induce the atmosphere of conversation, Motti- vation should be exhausted before admitting defeat. The witness CONT, ON PAGE 18 THE BLACK PANTHER, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1970 PAGE 4 SOLEDAD “The dignity and beauty of man rests in the human spirit which makes him more than simply a physical being, This spirit must never be suppressed for exploi- tation by others. As long as the People recognize the beauty of their human spirits and move against Suppression and exploitation they will be carrying out one ofthe most beautiful ideas ofall time, Because the human whole is much greater than the sum of its parts, the ideas will always be among the people.

Newton Minister of Defense Black Panther Party P a el GETTING ON THE BUS TO SOLEDAD Huey P Newton, our Minister of Defense, has been imprisoned, unjustly, now for over two years. He has therefore been able to understand directly the impact the California State Prison system particularly and all Babylon's fas- cist holes generally can have on Black men: The pettiness that can cost men's lives inside prison walls; the racism that is perpet- uated and perpetuated by the pig guards the fact that most of the ELAINE BROWN SERVING FOOD came for this first trip. We had sandwiches, coffee, sweet rolls, fruit, etc. for the trip there, and a roast beef dinner waiting for our return, The purpose of this program is to simply provide the people who have friends or relatives in jail with a way of seeing these loved ones. Most Black or poor people cannot afford--in one way or an- other--to take such a long trip on any regular basis. And they and the brothers inside suffer loss of contact, sometimes over periods of years. The pigs use this to do what they want to the brothers inside, hoping and know- ing that the brothers will never or rarely get the opportunity to tell anyone, (Mail is always tam- pered with.) The first trip was beautiful. Peo- ple were able without cost to see their loved ones inside--some of whom haven't had visits in months We found that most of the brothers were in the North wing, which al- lows for visits by people not on men, most of the Black men par- ticularly are behind bars for the crime of existence the human hopes that are strangled by the entire prison system that is de- humanizing. Huey knew and under- stood this long before when he formulated our 10-Point Platform and Program, in which Point #8 states that, ‘‘We want freedom for all Black men held In federal, state, county and city prisons and jalls."’, because ‘‘We believe that all Black people should be re- leased from the many jails and prisons because they have not re- ceived a fair and impartial trial.’’ And this understanding and ability to transfer that into a concrete program for change tis part of the genius of Huey P, Newton Therefore on Sunday, May 10th, P EATING ON BUS ON the visiting list. So as we arrived at the North facility, Panthers who accompanied the families were able to visit with several brothers. Even the visiting conditions are atrocious, One sister and her son were made to wait for almost three hours before their visit be- gan. The pigsclaimedthey couldn't find the brother they came to see, Inside the visiting-room, con- ditions are crowded and uncom- fortable, But none of that mattered, for through discussion we felt the Strength the brothers had and found out the love they had for the masses of poor Black people and for the Black Panther Party. The spirits of these brothers is high, because they look forward to the day they can have enough freedom to fight for the complete and total libera- tion of our people. So there is THE WAY TO SOLEDAD ®cthing the pig guards can do to them now. the Black Panther Party initiated a new program to serve the peo- ple, and to begin to implement Point #8. The Southern California «Chapter of the Party provided free of charge transportation to the pigs’ prison at Soledad California for ‘he relatives and friends ofthe _ brothers there, The bus left Los : \ Angeles at 3.00 a.m. on Sunday In ' order to reach Soledad by'tlie start _ _ of the Sunday visiting hours--10:00 . a.m. Approximately 25 people-- _ mothers, sisters, brothers and ’ children of brothers ty 4 “NEAT IN AUGUSTA NOTE: At the time this issue ot the Black Community News Service goes to press, we have received insufficient information on the \*’deaths”* of 5 Black brothers in Augusta, Georgia.

And because of that, because of these beautiful brothers, because of our people, because of Point #8 of the Ten- Point Platform and Program of the Black Panther Party, these walls must come down. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE a ee » GEORGIA this in the next issue of the Blac BRUCE RICHARDS = POLITICAL PRISONER “To be a revolutionary is to be an enemy of the state. To be ar- rested for this struggle is to be a political prisoner, ‘‘ This is a statement coined by our Chairman, Bobby Seale, now a political pris- oner in New Haven Connecticut, facing the possibility of death in the electric chair, Bobby Seale had the insight and perception to see political persecution and harass- ment as a reality. He knew long before any rumors of possible ar- rest that the pigs were working overtime to concoct a web of con- spiracies to eliminate, liquidate ‘hopefully’ the membership of the Black Panther Party. The eventual fate of arrest and persecution was perceived also by brother Bruce Richards now a Political prisoner, upon taking the yoke of the liberation struggle. Bruce faces trial on the llth of May. His personal history of resistance to the racism and fascism in this country began a long time ago, possibly coming to the hardships of Tracy, a penal institution for YOUTH. He and several other brothers resolved to move their resistance to a higher and more organized level upon leaving Tracy and immediately joined the ranks of the Black Panther Party in here in Southern California, Bruce's fate, ment and intimidation by the LAPD, an attempt to kill him while suc- cessfully killing brother Walter ‘*Toure’’ Pope, arrest and finally imprisonment on a method of pre- ventative detention, a ‘parole hold’’ while awaiting trial. Bruce wasn’t allowed the due process of bail and temporary freedom be- cause of his political affiliation, At one time his parole officer hinted if he would move back with his parents and forget about the Black Panther Party he would consider taking off the hold, Bruce like the other | brothers has been constant harass- | refused to compromise on his be- liefs and principles, so conse- quently he’s been incarcerated since his arrest last October. There's been constant attempts on the parts of the pigs to break his spirit by jumping on him and = se 7 placing him in Siberia (an Iso- lated cell where the brothers are denied all privileges) or in the hole without privileges. Recently while attempting to sit at a chow table for inmates who are sick, Bruce and another brother Roland Freeman were jumped on and beat unmer- elfully by the fascist pigs. In this particular incident his wrist was food and visiting fractured creating multiple frac tures to one arm, On another occasion, the pig deputies decided to move all Pan- — thers and separate them in order to break down any attempts at communication, Because the brothers protested, they were — beaten again, For each of these — incidents Bruce’s reward was ad- _ ditional criminal charges of bat- tery. His persecution and blatant frame-ups are just a microcosm of the general fate of all pris- oners, Black prisoners in par- ticular, r The pigs have tried to prove — these charges of battery on a po- lice officer are just part of the vendetta Panthers nave against the LAPD. Bruce {s already charged with attempted murder of a pig. They would like better than to tle everything to- gether as a ‘‘conspiracy’’ when in fact, the only conspiracy on our part has been to rid our com- munities of the tools of oppres- sion, the racist pig cop and to create examples of socialism or togetherness for our people to follow. Bruce doesn’t have to justify any attempts on his part to gain a little bit of humanity for him and his people, His human rights to resisthas already been estab- lished by the years of oppression and suffering we, his people, have endured, We need a hundred thou- sand more Bruce’s to put an end to the suffering of our people. So we say to him and al] other political prisoners that their prin- ciples and ideas are ours and it's our mission to make them a real- ity!

When the students of all Black Burney Harris High School in Athens heard that the pigs were trying to take away their school and send them to White Athens High, they turned to three min- isters for help with their PEACE- FUL protests. A list of griev- ances were drawn up. The grie- vances included nothing more than a request for human rights; A Black coach equal in status to \the White coach, equal number of \ Black teachers, etc, After the Black students sub- mitted the grievances to the Panther Black Community News#f Clark County Board of Education, Service, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

They got rocks and bottles and sticks and fought to protect their human rights. They knew they were right and were ready to protect themselves. One sister was beat in the head until she was bleeding, Another sister told the low-down pig “*‘Stop--can’t you see she's bleed- ing?’ His reaction was a harsh jab to her stomach and he took her away to jail, Other acts of harassment have been going downtoo, Onebrother, Fox, and his two year old nephew were stopped for a traffic light when for no reason four pigs came up and started spraying both of them in the face with mace, ‘*The Vanguard Party must pro- vide leadership for the people, It must teach the correct strategic methods of prolonged resistance through literarure and activities, If the activities of the Party are respected by the people, the peo- ple will follow the example.

One brother never even made it to the streets. His ghou- lish execution took place in bed We look at these attacks as being good things, and not bad things. They strengthen the Party instead of weakening it. They represent a point of no return, where the pain inflicted upon the power structure is punishable by death. On Kent State College Campus, Ohio, 4 young White students were liquidated by elements of shook-up state power. Dealing with issues that were timely and relevant was the crime--demonstrating against Babylon's involvement in Cam- College unrest has historically been a seething thorn-in-the-side for America. Understanding that the primary function of the col- leges (and all schools, educational institutions) is to prepare people to become part of the power struc- ture, thousands of students screaming ‘‘ Power tothe People’’, and ‘‘Free Bobby’’ was bound to interrupt Nixon's sleep. And so, Justifiable Homicide has come to the campus. The blood-curdling calls of racist Ronnie-baby Reagan have been an- Swered. No ‘court’ has declared ‘justifiable homicide’ because no case has been brought to court, Only endless excuses and explan- ations have been offered and filed in the offices of the oppressors, behind the doors of the unjust, To the grief-striken parents of the students, we have only to say that they will have many in the Same bag. Many associates of grief, caused by the same sick Sadistic state afflictions. And the only way that this can be halted is to bring the front home, where the murderous enemies of our ex- istence now rule, Bring your sons home, to shoot those who shoot us, and kill your sons and daughters. The anarchists, student militants, and revolutionaries, had ho tools of revolution--no guns. And now they are dead, murdered by law N’ order, Lies crawl from many sources from the commander of the Na- tional Guard Unit assigned to the campus comes the story of a sniper; this supposedly initiated the battle, which ended, to say the least, rather one-sided, From the Kent State College President comes the story of a * for the ing or sticks, a pig with br etc, icks, bottles they must be prepared Pigs to retallate--not with toys but rather with deadly weap- ons, It follows that in order to counter-attack the weapons of the pigs.the people must be armed with superior weapons, This means not only should people begin to get themselves together with the nec- essary hardware, they must also get themselves together with a su- perior ideology that will allow them to out-manuever the pigs at every level, The logic of survival dic- tates to the people that the only course of action left open to us Is ARMED SELF-DEFENSE, THE BLACK PANTHER, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1970 PAGE 5 To off a pig is to eliminate a plague that threatens the free de- velopment of human life. To mur- der a revolutionary Isto goagainst the dialectical historical process which assures human freedom. It is because of this dialectical pro- cess that nations first came into existence and then within the de- velopment of_the nation contra- dictory forces also come into be- ing--dialectically. These contra- dictions become overtly antagon- istic, such as the contradictions which now exist between the fore- stallers of history (pigs) and the makers of history (revolution- aries), Ina society which oppres- ses the majority of its citizens and then shoots them down in cold blood when they attempt to free themselves, it must be expected that the oppressed people will continue to intensify their strug- gle to the highest levels in order * to assure their survival and free- dom Black people have already pro- ved that when you move against the pigs in an attempt to gain your freedom the pigs will res- pond by murdering those who re- fuse to submit peacefully. The only response Black people have found to be effective in dealing with pigs is to take their heads, White work- ers in America of a few decades ago proved just how treacherous the pigs can be, Many workers paid with their Iives for strug- gling against the oppressive forces of this capitalist-fascist Imperial- ist system which makes wage slaves out of workers, slaves out of those with dark skins and martyrs out of their own children. Today the offensive against stu- dents has reached an alltime high, The pigs are moving savagely against students who refuse to sit by idly as fascist America moves to control, enslave and eventually destroy the planet earth, Itisthese same students who are expectedto serve as pig officers in the armed dis-services as well as become corporation pig managers who are dutiful servants of the owning cap- italist class. Radical students have responded with rocks, bottles, bricks and other primitive weap- ons, whereas, the pigs have an- Swered with gas, clubs and bul- lets. It doesn’t take much ofa tactician to determine which side has the upper hand, militarily, in case a violent confrontation oc- curs, Just as the civil rights struggle dialectically developed into the Black revolutionary movement, as exemplified by the Vanguard--the Black Panther Party, so too has the student movement developed, logically, from the category of a support group for the Third World liberation movement to a maturing anti - imperialist, indigenous movement that extends far beyond “If it takes a bloodbath... let’s get it over with” THE flying rock hitting the arm of a National Guardsman, which acci- dently discharged the weapon, which he happened to have leveled in a firing position, The heinious crimes can only be connected with the criminals who committed it. They must be fin- gered. They must be brought to justice .Or it can be laid low and ignored as another case of justifi- DESTINY OF THE UNARMED able homicide, law N’ order, and the criminals could be left as the officers of peace. Malcolm said, “I don’t believe in deluding myself, I'm not sitting at a table, my plate empty, and call myself a diner.’ Black people have never dined, we have never been served, And SO, we are now partaking in Self- Service, and Babylon will be ours the periphery of the campus, The complete maturation of this move- ment will come when students take the cue from the Vanguard of the revolutionary movement in Bub- ylon, the Black Panther Party, and heighten their struggle to one of armed self-defense This {5 the only way students will be able to inflict a positive blow against the American capitalist-fascist-im- perialist system, As students continue to fight for their liberation, more and more violent pig responsés can be @x- pected, in order to Insure both the survival and success of the student movement (which Is but one part of the world wide revolutionary movement), it is absolutely nec- essary for students to move their struggle to the level of ARMED SELF-DEFENSE, Only throughthe creative, defensive violence of the people can the destructive violence of the pigs be brought to a halt. The latest report from Kent, Ohio, informs us that the fotr students who were murdered by the National Guard were not ac- tually Involved in the radical denj- onstration which resulted in the pig-student confrontation. There is always the chance thatthe pig press will try and use this to further slander the rising radicalism of students. We must all keepin mind that the murdering of four ‘‘inno- cent’’ students is even more rea- son why all people mustarm them- selves, be they activists or not, There is also the tendency for other students, when talking about the events at Kent, to fail to recog- nize the treatment they are now beginning to receive from the pigs is the same treatment Black and Third World people have had to cope with for the last four hundred or so years. It is an indication of the White chauvinism among some of the students and White racism among the others that allows them to speak of murder of White people without mentioning, in the same breath, the twenty-eight murders of Black Panther Party members, the near extermination of Native Indians, the oppression and mur- der of Chicanos, the exploitation of Chinese, Phillipinos, etc, Until White students can see the dialect- ical relationship between their Struggle and the struggles of the Third World people, workers and revolutionaries throughout the world they will continue to flounder in an abyss of confusion Right on to all the students who have struggled so gallantly--shoot your shot and get your stuff together or die the deaths of fools.

Tracy Beaver Jr., and | the sister got out of the car to go ' into the All-Night Market on Bay- shore, dealt with what they were going to get and returned to the » car. LaVaughn drove approx- | imately 10 feet and was pulled | over by a motor-cycle pig. She ‘ got out of her car, met the pig and asked him why she was stop- ped. He told her she had an im- proper registration, LaVaughn tried to explain to the fool that her husband’s name was on the registration and not hers, but he wouldn't accept that and he told her she was speeding. So when the pig wrote our her cita- tion, she refused to sign it. The pig panicked and called in 10 other pigs to deal with two women and a child, The pigs took this sister on Such a trip that it is almost un- believeable--but we know pigs— they cursed her, they man-handled her, they hand-cuffed her tightly, threw her in the wagon, and off to the pig-pen, they took her. The pigs took her to Potrero Station, They kept her there and later on took her to City Prison in San Francisco. When they got to city prison, LaVaughn asked them to take off the hand-cuffs; one of the pigs said ‘‘no’’, be- cause she gave us a‘*roughtime’’. Then one of the suckers said, *‘the Sergeant said take them off,"’ and they did. One of the smart punks said, “Oh, yes, what do we have here, last week Miles’ brother, Pee Wee and tonight the orginal how about that. You know we know about you; it was your no-good husband that tried to kill all those people over there in the bar. He needs to be dead, it serves him well,” They even mentioned taking her children to juvenile, They even told concerned people calling to check on LaVaughn that no one was down there by that name. The low-down scurvy dogs even made some passes at her, trying to get down with something. How couldone of those spineless, dickless tricks fill the shoes of Miles Beaver on any level? The pigs have rigged up charges against LaVaughn--Possession of firearms, no driver's license, and improper registration, which are all false charges. LaVaughN js due in court Wednesday morning. «ae owes Historically speaking, it is no surprise as to how low the pigs will stoop totry and stop what's coming. The same thing happened to John Huggins who was murdered on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles, ‘California and they're holding his ‘wife Ericka in the Niantic Prison in New Haven, Connecticut on ‘trumped-up murder charges; | am quite sure that the people can see through all of this madness, The people know what theyare up to, pigs! ‘The people know that Hunter's Point is in an uproar behind the death of Miles Beaver, LaVaughn's husband and the unsuccessful as- ‘sasiuation attempt of Adam Rogers which lead to the death of LaVaughn’s brother, Henry Kel- lum, and the man-hunt that’s cur- going on for Clarence Sang * brother, and La~ heel We know va people are hip to Adam Rogers OF MEDICINE “‘But doctor, I’m still sick -- you said so yourself.” ‘If you were so sick, you wouldn't com- plain,”" This is the battle cry of today's hospitals, The patient was a young Black woman with a severe kidney infection who was being discharged from the hospital because shecom- plained of the filth and mistreat- ment that she had found in the hospital, The doctor was a man who felt insulted and indignant, because she complained that he wouldn't tolerate the same type of conditions if he were ill. The hospitals in the slums of large cities are filthy, degrading, inadequate, and just plain dis- gusting, and the people are tired of the constant disregard of their health, “Doctor, please see my baby..." “Okay, hurryup--he's got a cold, Take him home and give him some of this,’’ says the doctor, thrust- ing some medication into the anxious mother's hands.This is the battle cry of hospitals and clinics alike in the slums of large cities. The young mother was worried and wanted the baby seen, because he was suffering from a cold, fever, Stopped-up nose, and chest con- gestion, The doctor took a quick look at the baby and gave the mo- ther some medicine and sent the baby home. A few days later, he died of pneumonia. How many mothers cry at night for lost young ones who have died from doctors’ unconcern? How many more babies must die, be- fore someone realizes and acknow- ledges the fact that poor people are entitled to decent medical care too? Because of outlandish morals that lack real interest in the peo- ple, we are subjected to inhumane treatment by doctors, who set themselves on pedestals of grand- eur. Take the case of a young woman, 16 years old, pregnant,and disowned by her family because she was not married She went to a clinic ' and was insulted the entire time she was treated there, When she was due to give birth, a sadistic, ai et and the EOC and are moving in the direction to put an end to both, The people know that this is too much for the pigs. So what happens next is **Spagherti Bending Al Capone"’ Alioto turns his hench- men loose to instill fear and pull all kinds of terrorist acts totry and put out the flame; but it's too late, Big Al it’s too late. The people of Hunter’s Point are disrupting your Mafioso machinery and you, Big Al, your henchmen, and your en- dorsed flunkies are sucking your last blood from Hunter’s Point If LaVaughn Beaver is hurt or Tracy and Evora, the people of Hunter’s Point are going to in- flict political consequences upon you that will be to hot to hold, The hill will be red, (blood-red); ‘*Big Red” will be red (blood-red), The entire community will be red, and the people will call this the RED ZONE--Don't take the people short because the people are more serious than cancer, You get nothing here but plenty of resis- tance, And to you, LaVaughn, you must continue to strive for all of our knite throwing intern deliveredher premature son, who died 20 min- ‘utes after birth--the mother having Placed all faith and reason for living in the now dead child went into shock. Two days later, she was running a high fever and ex- periencing severe pains in the ab- domen, She was givena pelvic ex- amination, and the doctor found after-birth still in her body, It was removedandafter 5dayS she was sent home. Once at home she suffered pains in the right side of her chest, and after a combin- ation of 6 days of pain and suf- fering, the girl's sister took her to another hospital where she found herself in the same painful conditions as previously ex- perienced, She was forced to wait for hours in pain, before she was seen by a physician, that subjected her to the same type of humilla- ting questions, The findings of the examination was that she had a blood clot on her right lung - the cause of her pains in the chest - as a result of the unremoved after- birth, Because of lack of proper medical attention, she was forced to remain in the hospital for an additional 17 days. This I'm sure, would not have happened to a pri- vate paying patient...None of it, from the intern to the clinic! Then the question is ‘*why is it that poor people must be subjected to this type of treatment???" People in T.B, hospitals are not usually bed patients, but they have very few programs of recreational nature--and these are the so- called ‘‘special’’ clinics!!! This is the prime reason that a patient will leave without a pass--an escape from continual boredom. A 35 year old man had been confined to a TB hospital, for 4 years off and on, He left one afternoon, and re- turned thateveningto the hospital drunk, When he arrived, the guard attempted to lock him up and he refused to go saying that he had just gone out to see his daughter for a while, The guard again at- tempted to lock the man up, and after the second attempt failed, he called a passing trooper, who immediately beat the man and had problems are universally the Same; at no time should you let these fool pigs turn you off or away from our struggle. You must ~ call a spade a spade and a pig a pig. You must turn your hurt into strength, harnessed and channeled in the right direction. It is too much to handle alone or even at- tempt to. We must all place our trust and hope inthe Black panther Party because it’s the world's only | salvation of bringing into reality a soceity that's set up for all peo- ple’s basic necessities anddesires to be met and dealt with equally.So | we are going to ask you to stick to | the race when you're hardest hit, because it’s at times like this that we must never quit, DO SOMETHING Nig i<R LF YOU ff ONLY SPIT!

The next day he returned to the hospital with the full realization of howcontagious his illness was. The administration refused to re- admit him, he died after 9 months! In an institution like a hospital, people expect and should receive decent medical attention--not factory-style assembly lines where ‘parts’ are sloppily placed in, noF should the experience inthe hospital, be one like the ‘cham- bers of horror! ALLHUMANS ARE ENTITLED TO PROPER MED- ICAL CAREIIII The amount of money the per- son has, should not be the de- cisive factor in the type of trear- © ment, that the patient receives. The too familiar case in the lives of people in a capitalist society-- is profit over human value,Just because a person is poor is no reason to allow him to die. To produce a solution, one must be knowledgeable of the problem, I consider myself an authority on the problem, because I am Black, poor, and I live in the slums of a large city. The Black Panther Party no- ticing the need for better medical treatment, opened a diagnostic clinic and emergency first-aid center offering the best medical attention that we can get free to all the peoplet! The clinic is run by doctors and nurses who have donated their time to serve the PEOPLE,This is only partof the solution to a very large problem! The clinic is located in North Philadelphia, a well known ghetto area, Federal funds and help from the Department of Public Assis- tance will not be acceptedi! The doctors know that they are there to serve the people, as human beings, and this will be the prac- tice of the clinic and the doctors - WE SERVE PEOPLE, NOT THE PAPER GOD!!! This, we know, isa step in the right direction of ob- taining proper medical care for all the people!!!

Now they ask us — to forget it, that the case is closed. Well we don’t accept their apology, and it is not forgotten, We see clearly that this is a planned clean-up, by the Federal, Grand Jury, and the State Attorney Dept. to keep from exposing their ace card - those agents who have to be indicted in order to prevent prosecution, The Federal Grand Jury found an error that Edward G. Hanrahan had made in that the Hes that Hanrahan and his gang told were contradictory and ill-timed. They found that the onty move they could make to rectify Han- rahan'’s mistake was to drop the charges against the 7 survivors of the December 4th The people saw the error that was made also, and that was making that aggressive attack on their warriors, On March 7, 1970, the people held an inquest into what really happened, They pointed out how Hanrahan tried to make nail holes into bullet holes, how James (Love) Davis, a long time enemy of the people swore he was shot at by Brenda Harris’ shotgun, justifying his actions of maiming her for life. The people exposed Edward G. Hanrahan and his band of ban- dits for not only being criminals of the highest caliber, but being fools to think they could lie so quickly and it could come out so straight, The people have indicted Edward G. Hanrahan as the mastermind and gangleader behind the fascist acts of Dec. 4, 1970. As for his gangbangers, they were convicted also, as the mercenaries who carried out his plans, Those pigs have dropped their charges, but the people haven't... THE PEOPLE WILLGET JUSTICE AVENGE THE MURDERS OF FRED HAMPTON AND MARK CLARK ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE © Illinois Chapter Black Panther Party _M-I6 to the faster semi-automatic than the ae Part #7 ORGANIZING SELF DEFENSE GROUPS In past articles of our news- paper, assault rifles have been lightly gone over. This article will go into the 2 basic assault cifles that are most common at the present time, The first weapon that we will deal with is the AR-1S/16, which is the latest development in combat weaponry. This rifle is used by the fascist pig army in Viet Nam; It was a replacement for the M-l4, The M-I6 is a 5.56 mm, magazine fed, gas-operated air-cooled, shoulder weapon. By changing the position of a selector lever, the rifle can be made to shoot fully automatic. The rifle also has a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle, The bar- rel is surrounded by heat resis- tant material, made of fiberglass, which has been shaped into a handguard and forearm. There are many accessories that can be PHOTO #1 CAN BE DONE BY AN M-16 RIFLE added such as: bayonet, grenade launcher, and rocket launcher. The gun holds a 20 or 30 round maga- zine, but to insure operation it is advisable to never fill any maga- zine to its stated capacity, Nine- teen (1%) in the 20 shot maga- zine, and 27 - 28 in the 30 shot magazine will work best, The rifle has a muzzle velocity of 3,250 feet per second and a muz- zle energy of 1,300 pounds. What this means is that the bullet leaves the rifle traveling 3,250 feet in one second, hitting some- one with 1,300 foot pounds of en- ergy. So as you can see this small bullet travels at a very high rate of speed, The bullet is said to be one of the most deadly caliber of all; when it hits its target it starts to tumble, tearing every- thing it hits. The picture above shows what damage this rifle can Gor icing semi-automatic the M-l6 will shoot up to 45 to 65 rounds per minute; Fully-automatic it shoots 150 to 200 rounds per minute, The gun has a killing range up to 500 yards, (100 yards is the length of a football field), Comparing the M-14, the M-16 fires iT THE BLACK PANTHER, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1970 PAGE 7 M-l4 does fully automatic, The ammunition that the M-16 uses, 5.56 mm, also called .223 cali- ber, weighs half as muchas the 7.62 NATO, that the M-I4 shoots or the 30.06 which the M-I Gar- and shoots, Therefore it is pos- sible to carry twice as much 5.56 mm ammunition, The model that has been ex- plained so far is the government military version, There is a com- mercial model that is still being sold in gun stores, although nor in large quantities; it is called the AR-IS. The only difference between the two is the AR-I5 does not have a selector switch that enables you to change the fire from semi-automatic to automa- tic fire, The bolt of the AR-15S is not chrome-plated like the M- 16, and the M-I6 is made up of a heavy material, thus making it stand up to better combat condi- duces recoil of weapon. A bayonet can be attached also. It has a muzzle velocity of 2,800 feet per second. The maximum effective ——s per minute is 20-30 semi-auto- matic and 40-60 round per minute automatic, It has a maximum ef- fective killing range of approx- mately 500 yards, It shoots Cal- iber 7.62 NATO (308) The troops in Vietnam no longer use this as the main weapon any longer, the National Guard troops that come into the Black commun- ity have these weapons now. This weapon is also a good defensive and offensive weapon, that can be used very well in certain situa- tions. Because of the weight of the rifle (9 lb.) and the ammunition, and also the length (44.14 inches), the weapon cannot be as effective as the shorter M-16 in close com- bat conditions. The weapon has good penetration power. It will pierce a Gl helment on both sides at 500 yards. These weapons are not sold in the store and are illegal to have so if you have one or have the chance to get one, remember you have a priceless piece of e- quipment that should be given the best of care.

The wea- pon has a very light recoil; the stock has a large spring in it called the ‘action spring’, which absorbs a great deal of the re- coil of the rifle, bringing the re- coil down to as much as 1/4 of the recoil of the M-1l4, This wea- pon because of its high rate of fire is a perfect weapon for as- Sault operations. Also it serves as an excellent defensive weapon with its large magazine capacity. #2 Picture that shows left and right side of M-16.

ACTS OF WAR AGAINST THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY Trickey Dick Nixon's racist, fascist regime in Washington, D.c., has shown its foul hand by deed and action and added a new political dimension to the struggle for liberation from op- pression. The latest manuevers, however, make it clear to even the politically uneducated person that the power structure of deca- dent America has‘‘Declared War’’ on the Black Panther Party, in par- ticular, and against all Black people in general. Charles Garry, defense attorney for the Black Panther Party, summed it up forcefully at apress conference last week, stating: ‘'We are no longer fighting for political changes alone, There is a warfare going on now between the colony and the mother country. What ap- plies now is military law, and we want recognition of that under the United Nations and under the Gen- eva Accords and other Interna- tional law’’. Towards these ends, Charles Garry will take steps to halt the mock-trial of Chairman Bobby Seale and eight other Black Pan- ther Party members on the grounds that the criminal make-believe court of mandarins in New Haven, Connecticut, has no jurisdiction over ‘‘prisoners of war’’. Outright ‘“‘acts of war’’ came about recently and prior to the week-end ‘‘Free Bobby Seale and the Black Panthers’’ rallies held on the New Haven Green. In Wash- ington, D.C , the President, high officials of the Injustice Depart- ment, the U.S. Army, the F.B.L, and the Secret Service held a closed-door ‘‘war strategy’’ meet- ing. Informed sources say that although it concerned ‘‘defense Ppreparation’’ for the Black Pan- ther rallies to be held at New Haven Green, it also dealt with “aggression against the Panthers’’ on a nationwide scale as well as the immediate implementation of the McCarran Act, concentration camps, if necessary, Scores of Baltimore fascists, in league with the F.B.1, conducted numerous nite-raids, marked by destruction and intimidation, which brings to mind the terror used by the SS, the Gestapo of Nazi Germany. Following this closed-door meeting of Nixon and his lackeys, the U.S. Attorney General reco- mmended that Federal troops be dispatched-ready for combat--for the ‘‘Free Bobby Seale and the Black Panther rallies at New Ha- ven, Connecticut. On orders from Measely-Mouthed himself (Nixon's stating that a ‘‘formal request’ had been received from puppet Governor John Dempsey), the Pen- tagon was instructed to deploy 4,000-plus U.S Marines to New Haven and al! personnel assigned to both the Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts and the Quonset Point Naval Air Station in Rhode Island were put on a ‘‘war alert’ status for the duration of the rallies. Furthermore, the Munky Gov- ernor of Connecticut declared a “state of national emergency’’, ordering a further contingency-- of 2,500 National Guardsmen and all state and locally available fas- cist police--at full ‘riot overkill’ dress--to be on the scene. The pigs proved their point: ‘‘ Violence is a Too] of Fascism!’’ At his news conference, Charles Garry characterized Black and other minority communities with- in the United States of America as pure and simple colonies--gov- erned, policed and exploited by the racist, fascist mother country. But the facts speak for themselves. Of America’s 163 Black colonies, unemployment Is 3 times the na- tional average; schools are dilap- idated; medical facilities hopeless, and police brutality and the wanton murder of Black people at a max- imum. Black people do not export any- “thing except their slave labor, An attack against one...An at- tack against all!!! The aggression and blatant fas- cist repression directed at the Baltimore Chapter of the Black Panther Party and the Black peo- ple in this foul city reached a new State early on the morning of . Thursday, April 30, 1970, In the tradition of the days of the shock troopers of Nazy Germaay, the combined criminal forces of the Baltimore Tactical Squad, the Criminal Investigation Division, and its political flunky, the F.B.I,, unleashed all of their counter- in- Surgency teams at 6:00 a.m. Thursday morning, in a last de- Sperate attempt to destroy the yan- yuard and sabotage the liberation struggle of our people in this city. Disguised by the phony veil of justice and law and order, more than 150 agents and running dogs of the armed racist power struc- ture terrorized the homes and lives of former members and - members of the Black Panther ~ Party, supposedly searching for suspects in a year old murder in which the victim was said to | have been a member of the Party and/or a pig informer! Armed with assault rifles, automatic shotguns, Thompson sub-machine guns, an assortment of hand guns, and standard battle gear that is used during search and _ destroy missions in Vietnam, the entire Black community of East Baltimore was subjected to the pre-planned machinery of suppression, en- dorsed and authorized by mafioso Mayor Thomas D’Alesandro and pig police commissioner Donald “*Duck"’ Pomerleau, The final stages of fascism, the use of the state terror to suppress the Mberation struggle of Black people, became the reality that the Black Panther Party has been ed- ucating the masses to since 1966, The first victim of the raids, and the first report that the pigs had begun their reign of terror came about when Panther Larry Wal- lace was kidnapped off the streets and charged with the kidnap and murder of alleged Panther mem- ber Eugene Anderson in July 199, Larry, his wife Sandy Wallace, and community worker Larry Sorrell were surrounded by 4 blocks of marked and unmarked pig cars as they left the Aisquith Street Pad on thelr way to the Information Center. As the pigs jumped out of their cars polating an arsenal of weapons art the brothers and the sister, they claimed they had a warrant to kidnap (arrest)the bro- ther! As the low-lifed survy pigs went about their dirty work, they made sure that their overkillrifles and shotguns were aimed art the heads of their primary targets, the members of the Black Panther Party. After reaching our office on Gay Street, Sandy informed us what was happeaing, and that the pigs in all of their treachery were sull searching for other members of the People’s Vanguard, The next report that thehired mercenary pig forces were terrorizing the com- munity came from the Breakfast Program co-ordinator, Ronald and their income is less than half that of most Whites, Above all, the oppressed people within the colonies are being governed bya racist power structure, with no Black determination, Charles Garry also told re- porters that all members of the Black Panther Party will be hence- forth represented by him as‘‘pris- oners of war’’ or ‘‘potential pris- oners of war’’, and because of the Black Panther Party's new revo- lutionary status, Garry stated that he intends to treat the American Judicial System as having no legal jurisdiction over the many indicted jailed and harassed Panthers, Chief of Staff, David Hilliard of the Black Panther Party went straight to the heart of the. matter with his announcement last Davis, who informed us thar the foul minions of legal brutality and murder were surrounding the Breakfast Program Church, and were armed to the teeth with the weaponery of the fascist war ma-~- chine, After holding the people in THE BLACK PANTHER, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1970 PAGE 9 REPORT CONCERNING ATTEMPTED VAMP ON BALTIMORE CHAPTER state!

Since then lying, racist dog Pomperleau has backed down on further schemes to kidnap or murder members of the Vanguard, and still the masses PIGS IN COMMUNITY DURING BALTIMORE RAIDS here hold their firm stand in de- fending this Chapter. The people check, with guns, the pigs then pro- ceeded to force their way into the Children’s Breakfast Program under the false excuse of looking for other suspects, Once the ges- tapo shock troopers left the Break- fast Hall, they kicked in the door of Sister Angeline Edison, 4 for- “mer member of the Party, andkid- napped her from her home and son with guns pointed at her and surrounding her, all under the pretentious Hes of justice! By this time the reactionary news media had begun broadcasting the ‘*secret raids’’ that had been in the planning stages for three weeks, Although the pigs claimed that the raids on the homes of Party members and ex-Party members were the result of an alleged crime committed a year ago, we see clearly that the latest act of aggression against our Party and Black people is an indication of the final death cry of fascism here ia Baltimore, and that the bar- baric, hostile manner in which the pigs came, exposes them to the people for what they really are,,..pigs and mercenaries! All chrough the city, Black people were conscious of the fact that the so- called round-up of Panthers and/ or suspected Panthers by pig com- missioner Pomerleau's evil pimps of brutality and terror, was nothing more than another plot to isolate and yillify the Party, and justify the genocide of Black peo- ple. By 11:00 a.m., the repressive hand of fascism in Baltimore had penetrated the Black community like a wildfire, and the people were at such a level, of outrage and in such a state of outright oppres- Sion, that the national guard had to be called up on stand by, in case there was a resistance struggle waged by the people whose territory had been invaded by the enemy, the fascist troops of the week that the Panthers have earne: themselves ‘‘the status of a REN tional Liberation Movement by theN rest of the revolutionary forces in the world struggling against im- perialism’’. Concerning Chairman Bobby Seale, David again made it clear that there is a national co- alition of revolutionaries prepared \ NI to deal with the matter and ‘fusey whatever means at our disposal'! to free Chairman Bobby Seale. ‘If he’s bound up tight, we'll hold back the night and there won't be no light for days{’’ SEIZE THE TIME! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Raymond Lewis Community News Service San Francisco Branch police, guardians of the law, had been acting in the manner of gang- sters and criminals, and seemed to over-step the rights of Black people, we took the appropriate precautions necessary to defend ourselves against any more acts of aggression by our fascist enemies, Even as we began poli- tically educating the masses as to the nature of the pigs in their hour of desperation, more reports of raids and atrempted raids on the homes of Panthers and former Panthers continued to come into our office. The community had responded to the impending attack on the Information Center office, and had set-up a 24 hour vigil around our office, that has yet to Stop. The streets themselves seemed to come alive with the spirit of the people, and the de- sire to hold the liberated terri- tory of Black people. Even though the repressive elements of the pig police forces tried to come into the community so that they could set up a foot-hold from which they could attack the people; the masses refused to be intimidated and re- mained on the streets around our office, In an attempt to white-wash the minds of the people here in Baltimore who had wimessed the fascist police state in action, police commissioner Donald Pomerleau Said that the raids were not an at- tack against the Black Panther Party in Baltimore, but only the apprehension of those people “accused” of the crimes indicated by the arrest warrazis! That lying pig then told the Black people who had confronted him at a mecting thac he would deal with any Pan- ther sympathizers if they didn’t Support his machinery to elimi- nate the Black Panther Party, Our people stood up and told Donald *‘Duck"’ Porerleau that ifhe deals IMPORTANT NOTICE All People with Berkeley Community Control ‘Police Petitions: contact Berkeley NCCF immediately, at 843-4363 Sit L is vital contact LEDS REIS If | LID ff ff ERE! ff ff oN have righteously shown all the pigs of the power structure that the days when members of the Black Panther Party andBlackpeo- ple will be victimized by the last bastions of fascism are long gone!

Those days too are long gone, and the days ahead that reflect the true spirit of the people as evi- denced here in Baltimore are from this day forth, here to stay. When the racist dog policemen and their nigger lackeys were confronted with the alternative of withdrawing from our communities or facing the wrath of the armed people, the low natured beasts withdrew from our communities behind the threat of the armed might of the people, the block to block, and house to house arming of the masses, and as of today, still have not com- mitted any other overt acts of ag- gression against the communities , Black people have gotten tired of being brutalized, tortured, and murdered in the name of law and order...It was the gun that has kept Black people the subjects of Slavery, and now it is the gun that is being picked up for the liber- ation of Black people in this cityl!

Huey P. Newton is the ideological descendant, heir and successor of Malcolm X, Malcolm prophesied the coming of the gun to the Black liberation struggle, Huey P, Newton picked up the gun and pulled the trigger, freeing the genie of Black revolutionary violence Babylon’. =-Eldridge Cleaver 2 aa “FT WMaleolm A Was 4A Black Wan Eldridge Cleaver, Minister of Information of the Black Panther Party, states that Huey P, Newton's genius is that the Minister of De- fense took up where Brother Mal- colm X left off when he was Assassinated, Huey was successful in Creating an organization unique in the history of Afro-America, A revolutionary political party with self-perpetuating machinery. This is a historic achievement. Anditis the thoughts of Huey P, Newton ‘underscored by the ideology and philosophy seeded by Malcolm X, that holds the Black Panther Party together and constitutes its found- ation. Early in 19%4 Malcolm denounced the racist demagogy of Elijah Muh- ammad's Quasi-Islamic organi- zation and had what can be called a second rebirth when he decided his place was with the Black mass- es. As a Black Muslim leader, Malcolm X had rejected the cor- ruptAmerican society. Buthe pass- ed from merely rejecting it (a negative, passive position) to re- belling against it and organizing to change its decadent nature (a posi- tive, active position) by any means necessary-Revolution., It was the awakening into self- consciousness of twenty-two mil- lion Black people which was so compelling. Malcolm articulated their aspirations better than any other Black man of his time, To many persons within the Black community, however, ‘‘the new Malcolm xX" was understood in some ways, misunderstood in others, Some of his ideas changed, others did not. But America’s racist, fascist power structure and its flunky spokesmen understood exactly what was happening, and they were ore hostile to Malcolm after the split with Muhammad's Nation of Islam than before when his mes- Sages were also irresistable. And the capitalist ruling class had greater reason to hate and fear Malcolm, as it likewise does the Black Panther Party today, when he set out to build a new revo- lutionary movement, That is why as William F. Warde puts it, Mal- colm X ‘was crucified by the paid press (mass media) long before he was martyred by the assassin’s bullets.” When Malcolm X died, there was virtually nothing of what he had said in print. But since then many thousands and thousands of people the world over have hadthe chance to read and hear what Malcolm X said, including large numbers who had never heard of Malcolm while he was alive. Nevertheless, the essence of Malcolm's revo- lutionary ideology can be summed up as follows: that Black people can get their freedom only by fighting for it; that America’s decalent government is 4 racist government and is not going to grant freedom to its oppressed Black people; that gradualism, the program of non-violent liberals, White and Black, is not the road to either equality or liberation from oppression; that Uncle Toms the slavemaster’s boot-licking ‘Mouse Niggers’’, must be ex- posed and opposed; that Black people must rely on themselves and control their own liberation Struggle; that Black people must determine their own strategy and tactics; and that Black people must select their own leaders from ‘within. their own communities, Malcolm X had been a so-called “criminal,’ a dope addict, a pimp, 4 prisoner, 4 racist and a hater. He had really believed the White man was a ‘‘devil.’’ But all thar had changed, two days before his death, in commenting to Gordon Parks about his past life, he said: “*That was a inad scene, ‘The sick- néss and madness of those days. I’m. glad to be free of them." Maicolm Little was born May 19,1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His father was a Baptist Minister, who spent as much time preaching “‘Back to Africanism"’ as he did religion, and his family suffered the financial consequences inevi- table in a capitalist society under such circumstances, The father was an advocate of Marcus Gar- vey’s Universal Negro Improve- ment Association, andhe was proud and militant. He was killed, when Malcolm was six, by White racist night riders. Eight children were too many for Malcolm's mother to care for alone. When he was twelve, Mal- colm went to Boston ro live with a half-sister, who tried to encourage him to mingle with the middle-class Black people ‘'on the hill’ in Roxbury. But it was to the “‘hip’’ and the ‘‘sharp’’ hangouts in the Black ghetto of Boston that Malcolm was lured, In no time he was processing his hair, wearing the wildest sytles, and escorting White girls about the town. Malcolm got a job as a sand- wich and ice-cream vendor on the Boston-New Haven railroad when he was sixteen, He came to New York, especially Harlem, where he soon was a regular in the most grooving niteries. He was hired as a waiter in Small’s Paradise, where, listening attentively to the patrons, he became expertly Schooled in the art of ""hustling’’. Because of his red hair, Mal- colm became known as ‘*Detroir Red,"’ In a couple of years he was completely enslaved by the vices of capitalism; known to al- ways be packing a piece, a dope peddler, a pimp, and a numbers runner - one of the sharpest, toughest of the teen-age Harlem hustlers on the streets. Returning to Boston, he was arrested for armed robbery and sentenced to ten years in jail. Malcolm was then twenty-one In jail, Malcolm took a corres- pondence course in English and through the efforts of his brother, Reginald, was introduced to ‘‘The Nation of Islam."’ Malcolm became a Muslim and for the first time in his life acquired a sense of dignity and self-worth. He changed his name, in Line with organization- al policy to reject names imposed by former slave masters. He be- came Malcolm X, When he was released from pri- son he went immediately to Chicago to meet Elijah Muhammad, Elijah took Malcolm under his private tutelage, and Malcolm be- came totally devoted to the *‘Mes- senger of Allah’’ and his preach- ings. In the years that followed Malcolm X became the leading spokesman for the Muslims. He appeared more frequently in pub- lic than Muhammad himself, andhe began to speak out on topics that went beyond ‘Muslim precepts. Malcolm X believed the organi- zation could play an important role in the struggle for civil rights. On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was assassinated, During the question and answer period of a meeting in New York, Malcolm X was asked what he thought about the assassination, He answered that it was a case of ‘‘The chick- ens coming home to roost’’, and went on to explain thac he meant that the same hate in the White racist power structure that allowed them to wantonly murder innocent Black people had spread so far that ‘*it finally had struck down this country’s chief of state,’ The newspaper played up Mal- colm’s remark but not his inter- petation, Muhammad suspended Malcolm for ninety days, and other Muslim leaders mounted an un- remitting attack against him, Malcolm left the Nation of Is- lam and began to formulate the ideology and philosophy of a new revolutionary movement, He saw the depth of the hypocrisy and falsehood that covers the real social relationships in this decadent American society, To him, the key was not so much the lies that the racist ruling class and its lackeys propagated, but the lies and the falsehoods about Black people per se, their past and their pot- entialities, which Black people ac- cepted, Malcolm's message to the ghetto, his agitation against racism was a special kind, What he did stemmed from a study of the history of Afro-Americans, He ex- plained that in order for oppressed Black people to know what to do to know how to go about winning freedom, they had to first answer three questions: Where did you come from? How did you get there? Who is responsible for your con- dition? Malcolm’s truth was s0 ex- plosive because it stemmedfroma THE BLACK PANTHER, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1970 PAGE Il many more needed no answers, All the questions were directed to the Black masses who had nothing to lose and no stakes in the corrupt system as it exists now, Malcolm spoke of self-defense, and the real meaning of violence, He continually pointed out that the source of violence was the op- pressor, not the oppressed, Out of one side of its mouth the gov- ernment and the press preached pacifism to Black people while out of the other side comes the cold announcement that they will destroy as many North Vietnamese as they wish, Malcolm X never tired of pointing out the hypo- crisy of this form of pacifism, its ineffectuality and its degrad- ing and masochistic character. Malcolm always sought to ex- pose those who were responsible for really maintaining the racism of this society rather than direct- ing his fire at the puppets. He careful study of how the Afro- American was enslaved and de- humanized, He publicized the facts that have been suppressed from regular White racist history books and kept out of schools. While in the Muslims and after he left, Malcolm X taught that the procéss by which Africans were made into slaves was one of de- humanizing them, Through barbar- ous cruelty, comparable to the worst Nazi concentration camps, Black people were taught to fear the White man, They were syste- matically stripped of their lan- guage, culture, history, names, religion, of all connections with their home in Africa, and their true identity, Black people were named ‘Negro’ signifying this lack of identity and this flagrant de- nial of African origin, Malcolm asked the Black Amer- ican: Who taught you to hate your- self? Who taught you to be a paci- fist? Was he a pacifist? Who said Black people cannot defend them- selves? Does he defend himself? Who taught you not to go too far and too fast in your fight for free- dom? Did he stand to lose some- thing by the speed of your vic- tory? Who taught you to vote for the fox to escape the wolf? What does the fox give in return? All of these questions and so P th ale never tired of explaining and de- monstrating that it was the fed- eral government headed by the president that was responsible for maintaining racism in the North and South. He point out that LBJ’s closest friendin the Senate, Rich- ard Russell, was leading the fight against the civil rights bill. Mal- colm was challenged by areporter who doubted thatJohnson's friend- ship with Russell proved anything. Malcolm looked at him with his usual smile and said, off the cuff, “If you tell me you are against robbing banks, and your best friend is Jesse James, I have grounds to doubt your sincerity.” The final point in his political development which was so impor- tant was Malcolm's revolutionary internationalism, Malcolm gave at least three reasons for his inter- national outlook, First, was the common identity of the power Structure which practiced racism in this country and which prac- ticed imperialism abroad. Second, only through Afro-Americans realizing that they were part of a great majority of non-Whites in the world who were fighting for and winning freedom, would Black people have the courage to fight the battle for freedom at home by whatever means necessary, Last, was the fact that freedom i AKT could only be won everywherey ing Africa, Malcolm said, ‘Our problem is your problem...your ® problem will never be fully solved” until and unless ours are solved. — You will never be fully respected, until and unless we are also re-_ spected, You will never be recog-/ nized as free human beings he and unless we are also mee \ and treated as human beings.”" — Although Malcolm came from the ghetto, spoke for the ghetto and directed his message to the ghetto first of all, he was a figure of world importance, and developed his ideas in relation to the great” events of world history in his time. So now Malcolm is no more. The bootlickers, Uncle Toms, lackeys, and stooges of the racist power structure have done ‘their best to disfigure Malcolm X, to root him out of his people's hearts to tarnish his memory, But their million-worded lies fall on deaf ears, As Ossie Davis so eloquently expressed it in his immortal eu- logy of Malcolm X: “*If you knew him you would know why we must honor him: Malcolm was our manhood, our living Black manhood, This was his meaning to his people, And, in honoring him, we honor the best in ourselves.... However, much as we may have differed with him-or with each other about him and his value a$ a man, let his going from us serve only to bring us together, now, Consigning these mortal remains, to earth, the common mother of, all, secure in the knowledge thag what we place in the ground ig no more now @ man-but a seed- which, after the winter of our’ discontent will come forth again. to meet us. And we will know? him then for what he was ands a Prince- our own Black shinin Prince! Who didn’t hesitare to di because he loved us so," We shall have our manhood. W. shall have it or the earth wi be leveled by our attempts to gain’ it.

He now runs around with ace foo] and psycho- path, Rene Johnson. Let the wet Reck of their backs compliment each other, for rhey do deserve each omer. Rene johnson is the foul ac- complice of the above mentioned madman; Rene Johnsos and Pink- ett failed to find satisfaction unless they were made Ministers of our Central Committee. Being that our Central Committee is doth correct and our people rally closely around it, this was a hopeless situation. Rene and Pinkett are now defiling upper Peonsylvania campuses with Speeches rehearsed from Eldridge Cleaver in the name of the Black Panther Party. A little while ago, Pinkett popped up at our Philadelphia Branch of- fice In a late, late, late model Cad- illac, oinxing, ‘Do you want to take my picture in my 19(?) Cadillac?’ With an oink and a laugh, he split, mumbling some madness about ‘‘other levels’’. When I was first hipped to these chumps splitting, it required some heavy thought, Up in New York Pinkett had a habit of turn- ing up missing. Rene is simply the renegade, he couldn't relate to the daily set of getting in the streets and talking to Black folks, which offered no spotlights or cameras. Both of these foolgalways could articulare the language of oppres- sion. Rene was the repeater. He repeated parts of the leadership's speeches he had memorized, On the other hand Pinkett was able to define principles correctly, but I guess this is the reason for their expulsion and exposure. Their practice never did keep up with their theory, At any rate they have defined a clear posi:ion with the. people. ‘In the process of a great struggle, the composition of the leading group in most cases should not and cannot remain entirely un- changed throughout the initial, the middle, and the final stages; the activists who come forward in the course of the struggle must con- Stantly be promoted to replace RENE JOHNSON those original members of the leading group who are inferior by comparison or who have de- generated,"’ Mao Tse-Tung ALL POIWeR TO THE PEOPLE Mumia Black Panther Party HARASSMENT It gives me great pleasure to ex- pose to you another act of haras- Sment, intimidation and aggression brought on in full force by the racist East Oakland pigs. On Wednesday, brother George Cashen (who was viciously attacked by the racist pigs not more than three weeks ago) was serving the people by selling the Black Panther Black Community News Seevice at White Front store, Fulfilling this task, he got in his car leaving White Front Store when suddenly he was stopped by a racist pig. The pig asked George for his license. George stated that he did not have it. Right away he was tand-cuffed and taken to jail. As you know, if you are driving without a lic- ense you are issued a citation, OH not brother George, a ser of the people. umped-up charges by the pig for arresting George was war- rants, The ocother didn’t have any warrants! Lf’ ae did, do you think he would be out of jail from his previous arrest which was not more than three weeks ago? Think about it. His bail was set at $62.00 for this trumped up charge, His car was towed away and carefully inspected by the pigs. Brother George went to court on this matter, Because he was illegally stopped by the pig, be- cause he didn’t have any war- rants, because the pigs couldn't find anything in his car to bust him on, the judge couldn’t do any- thing else but stare all charges are dropped and issue his money back to him except for the $13.00 for the tow charge. (Tow charge- money that couldhave bought bread or some other necessity), So we say later for you crazy pigs. Bezause the people know your game. Your. day is here, ‘it's nor, coming, it's here’. Right On! FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISON- ERS ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE East Oakland Black Community Information Center PURGED FROM THE N.C.C.F. DETROIT The Black Panther Party andits organizing bureau, the National Committee to Combat Fascism, is struggling night and daytocom- bat the fascists’ plan to commit genocide against the leadership of the Black Panther Party in partic- ular, and the Black community In general. We of the Black commun- ity realize that we must fight for our survival here in America. We all must fight this racist oppres- sive system If we are to survive, The Black Panther Party has set out to implement programs throughout the Black community that are both educational and meet the basic needs of the people: The Free Breakfast for Children, Free Clothing Centers, and the People’s Free Medical Clinic, These pro- grams have been proven success- ful in communities on a national scale, The N.C.C.F. here in Detroit has been striving to open the People’s Free Medical Clinic, be- cause we realize that without ade- quate medical attention, on which these fascist pigs of the power structure have seen fit to put such a ridiculously high price, oppres- sed people die from Illnesses that could have been treated and/or cured. This is fascism because we are actually denied medical attention that is necessary for our survival. The birth control pill is another type of genocide that the power structure has poured into the Black community, telling us that it Is unhealthy and/or against the well being of the society to continue to have as many children as we do. What better way is there for the power structure to commit the criminal act of genocide (the sys- tematic extermination of a group or race of people) than through some foul trick stop them from baring children, The youth make the revolution, they wll go forth in our footsteps so that freedom will some day be gained. This is why it is so important our chil- dren get a meaningful education, as Point #5 of the Platform and Program of the Black Panther Party states: ‘‘We want an educa- tion for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society, an education that teaches our true history and our role in present day society.’’ All the children of our communities belong to the people, and we must fight together to prevent any danger inflicted by this oppressive system, from harming or killing our youth, physically or mentally, Anyone within the ranks of the people’s army who knowingly and willingly aids the power structure in their plan against the massesof oppressed people isa pig-provaca- teur, counter-revolutionary or a fool. DONNETTA BREWERIS ONE SUCH PERSON, She came to work with us about the first of the year 1970. She told us that she wanted to work with the N.C.C.F here In DONNETTA (VERLINA) BREWER Detroit; at that time she was re- covering from wounds acquired when Chicago's finest fascists murdered Fred Hampton, Deputy Chairman of the Black Panther Party, and Mark Clark in cold blood, Donnetta was in the apart- ment at that time We took her in and helped her as much as we could; she was treated no different than other members ofthe N C C F Shedidn't have clothes, so we got things for her to wear, fed her, and saw to it that she got the medical attention that she needed. Donnetta has asthma and twice we had to rush her to the hospital. We stayed up nights and watched her to make sure she didn't get any worse in her sleep, No one here asked for anything in return accept that she do what she could and get well. She had worked on the medical cadre in Chicago so we had her work on getting the clinic started here; most of the work she did was writing letters and making phone calls, and she went to a couple of meetings todis- cuss the clinic. On April 25, 1970, Donnetta called and stated that she wouldno longer work with us or work for the peo- ple’s liberation struggle. Donetta also informed us that she would start working for money rather FASCISM IS: than the people, She had constantly discussed with us her dislike for her family, who were the ones she was, supposedly, working to help, with the exception of her younger brother We picxed her up so she could out of respect for the members let them know what made her come to her decision and pick up her things, In the meeting with the general body, she was asked why she had said that her doctor told her that she would have to have an abortion, and why she had refused to consult a Party doctor when that was suggested. No an- swer. We asked why she had shown disrespect for her comrades by asking where an abortion could be obtained. No answer. Just what was her reason for leaving the struggle, again there,was no an- swer, we asked her just out of respect for those she had been working with for the last four or five months to tell us something. Finally she said ‘‘I don’t care about anybody in this room.’’ A true revolutionary cares about the people--he cares to the point that he is willing to put his life on the line to help the masses of poor and oppressed people. He would never think of killing his unborn child, Anyone who at this stage of the struggle decides they will no longer serve the people--that other things are more important than FREEING Huey P. Newton, and stopping the fascists who have already decided to murder Chairman Bobby Seale in the electric chair, when sisters and brothers of the N,C.C.F. are being attacked by the fascist pig cops, when at almost every high school here in Detroit and the out-"~ lying communities and the students are being viciously attacked and beaten, at a time when no one in the Black community is safe from the fascist criminal tactics used and endorsed by the pig power structure--will be purged from the ranks of the people’s Party. There is no room here for Mars or for those who don’t have time to do the only real job that exists to- day--the liberation of all the poor and oppressed masses and the building of a society in which men can be men and determine thelrown destinies. As of April 25, 1970, Donnetta Brewer is no longer in good stand- ing with the N.C.C,F. of Detroit, She has been purged. INTENSIFY THE STRUGGLE ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE N.C.C,F, DETROIT Brenda .3J/ Magnums and Billy Clubs Because of the pigs’ supposed “Immunity” to any kind of recip- rocal action that might and rightly should be taken against them, they have egotistically reached the level now wheea tney consider them- Selves invulnerable to the same Sort of action that they themselves are taking. They have adapted themselves to ‘‘super-pig mental- ities’’, But the only thing that makes the pigs bad is that .38 or .357 strapped around his waist-- and we can seutralize that with -357's, 9mm’s and 45°s of our own, Black people must under- Stand that to arm ourselves in self-defense is an act of neces- sity. When a pig can go upside a young brother's head with a billy club (or, as the pigs call it, a “nigger stick’’) and cause him to lose sight almost totally in one eye, as was the case with Curtis Jackson, then it ts definitely time for Niggers to think of a new Strategy other than passive resis- tance, When a group of racist pigs can intrude upon families’ privacy and inflict suffering and humilia- tion upon them, then it is clearly time to deal ‘“‘tit-for-tat’’. All tiese acts are being carried out by the so-called “law enforce- ment officers and agencies of A- imcrica--America, land of the Slaves being run by the depraved. So the question is: Are we going to recognize these attacks being made &g\..8t us as part of the American way of life? Or are we going to call a spade a spade and relate to the objective situation, under the present social order, America can never meet the needs of Black people within her conflies, So Niggers, I say this:Stop look- ing for fascism to come riding up Warren Street on a white horse wth swastikas emblazoned all over it. Instead be on guard for thar pig in blue with the American Oag sewn on his shoulder, Because Hitler was a chump compared to these killers. Through looking at their practice, the people of the world can righteously say: ‘*The American eagle and the American flag are the true symbols of fas= clsm, "* In order for Black people to survive America,we haveto make the first last, and the last first.So that when the pigs gohome at night, let death greet them at the front door| Death a thousand times-- No, ten thousand times to the yul- tures who would wantonly destroy the world; life and prosperity will reign supreme after those fiends are annihilated, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Whire knows that pigs come into our communities to brutalize and murder Black people mot to stop crime. He knows that pigs stop Black people from ob- taining their just demands of the basic needs of life. The only way that we can receive our needs is to remove these pigs in uniform from our communities (and this means all pigs regardless of color or dress or religion--because a pig is a pig, is a pig, is a pig) at the point of a gun and step on the necks of the greedy businessmen and take what we need, DEATH TO THE PIGS) COUNTER-ATTACK!

A fight insued and the brother, Bashir, was attacked by twelve of these zionists along with pigs from the Tactical Police Force. By this time, other Panthers had arrived and the racist dogs were turned back by the brothers who righteously defended the office.

All segments of the community came forth to help defend the people's warriors and the people's office, From hustlers to housewives, the community formed a united front against these alien invaders, The racist Jewish Defense Lea- gue, aided by the fascist NYPD, cloaked this provocative attack against our office under alleged accusations of ‘*anti-semitic lit- erature’’ being printed in our newspaper, This is a bald face lie. It must be pointed out that the only right that the Zionist clique, headed by Golda Mier and Moshe Dayan, have to the land that they call Israel is a robber’s right.

We believe that with a rey- olutionary political ideology we can end police brutality in our Black Community, by organizing Black self-defense groups, that are dedicated to defending our community against racist pig op- pression and brutality. The Sec- ond Amendment to the Constitu- tion of the United States gives all men the right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense». On Tuesday, April 28, 1970, the life of nine-year-old Danny Smith was snuffed out by the fascist pigs of Highland Park. Danny was standing at a bus stop with his mother, Mrs, Margret Smith, when he was struck down in cold blood by pigs who Chief Donald Meade refused to identify. This low-down pig murdered nine year old Danny by accident while attempting to murder two other youths they suspected of having a stolen car. Highland Park Chief of Pigs, Donald Meade, along with boot- licking nigger Mayor Robert Blackwell and the racist DPOA attempted to quiet this act of genocide against young Danny by trying to buy Mrs. Smith off. They offered her money in pay- ment for the life of her son. The pigs said that they wanted to pay the funeral expenses, for one of the many vic- tims of American fascism. Mrs. Smith refused rhe blood money for her son's death. The pigs that were responsible for the death of Danny Smith, were not even sus- pended. Our children are the fu- ture of our communities, but for Danny there will be no future; our community is a colony in which Black people are con- trolled by a force of racist pigs who have no concern for their lives or well being. Danny is an example of what happened to Black men in the ‘Al- gers Motel incident’. The situa- tions are the same, the only dif- ference is in the time and Place--the motive is genocide against Black people. Brother Danny is a victim of the rising tide of fascism here in America, He and so many like him never had a chance to find out what life really was or BY FASCIST PIGS why his government allowed ra- cists hidden behind the cause of ‘law and order’ to murder Black people because of their color, How many more Danny's will be sacrificed before Black peo- ple understand that the power- structure plans to kill us all? How many more members of the Black Panther Party...which one of our children will be murdered next at the hands of the racist pigs? Black people, we must understand that the only way we are going to stop the pigs from murdering and brutalizing members of the Black community will be to counter-attack every act of ag- gression, by inflicting a political consequence on those who control and kill us, These unidentified pigs and, in fact the entire fascist govern- ment are guilty of crimes against our oppressed communities. They must be brought to justice by the guns of the people, The people find this foul racist American government guilty of the murder of little Danny Smith, along with the pre-planned der of Chairman Bobby Seale in the electric chair, the railroad- ing of the other members of the Black Panther Party in partic- ular and the Black oppressed masses in general. We will not sit quietly by while the pigs murder Bobby Seale or any other member of our com- munity; the pigs’ day of doom is already upon them, THE PIGS WHO MURDERED DANNY SMITH MUST ANSWER TO A VERDICT OF GUILTY IN THE PEOPLE'S COURT!

Love Debra COMMUNITY CONTROL A NECESSITY The pigs have heightened the repressive actions against the peo- ple of the Columbia Point Hous- ing Project. On April 25, 1970, the Black Panther Party received a call from Dorothy Hasken, a wel- fare mother from the National Welfare Rights Organization, say- ing that she had just been beaten by a mad dog policeman, So I went to see what was happening out there, When I got to Mrs. Haskins’ house, there were a lot of people there from the community trying to comfort her, I asked what had happened and this was the story: About 2:30 Mrs. Haskin senther children out to play with the other children inthe community. As chil- dren always play, a fight started between Mrs, Hasken's 13 year-old daughter and an 18 year-old sister ~ from the secondfloor, People from this building saw that this wasn’ta ‘play’ fight and called for Mrs, Hasken who was sick in bed at the time. Mrs, Hasken got up to see what the trouble was, and went to break up the fight. Two men came up to her with jacks that you fix a car with as if they were goiag to beat her, Mrs, Hasken seeing this went to her house to get a knife to protect herself from these men. She did not know that as she went to her house, someone in the community, thinking that they were doing the right thing, called the pigs. When Mrs, Hasken got down- stairs from her house and saw the pigs she didn’t want to have any- thing to do with them because she knew they weren't there to help the people in the community. So she got her children and started back up the stairs to her house. Someone i:nust have told these two pigs what had happened because it is said that Pig officer Kenny (badge #899), a fascist pig ap- proached Mrs. Haskins when he foand out she had a knife, By this time, Mrs, Haskens was at her house, but the pig was there, too. Mrs. Haskens said that she wasn’t going to give him anything because he didn’t havea search warrantand she was going to put the knifeback in her house where it came from; since he did not have a search warrant, she told him to leave her alone and get away from her door. When the pig realized that Mrs. Haskens knew her constitutional rights, he became very upset and started into her home in a rage of madness fighting her and beat- ing her about the face, then the middle section of her body and ripping her clothes off of her body, When Mrs, Haskens’ 7 year- old son saw what was happening to his mother, he began to help her and the pig saw this and began to beat him by pushing him on the floor and picking him up andthrow- ing him on a table (breaking it). When the people from the com- munity heard of all this harass- ment against Mrs. Haskens, they then came in to help her, When pig Kenny saw this he then pulled out his GUN and pointed ir at Mrs. Haskens’ face and said that he would shoot her if the people didn’t mind their own business, The other pig (name and badge # unknown) realized how mad this dog was and started to yell and pull him away from Mrs. Haskens . When the peo- ple started to move against this mad dog, he then pointed his gun at the children. Showing no concern for the lives and safety of the chil- dren Living inthe community or re- spect for the people . This is how these two pigs made it out of the community. They then called the M.D.C, pig pen, which is only down the street, to complain about this pig and his actions. They were told that they couldn't do anything about it because it was out of their dis- trict; and that they wouldhave togo to pig pen fll. So they did. Before they got there, pig Kenny had called into the pig at the desk saying that he was going to press charges against Mrs. Haskens for assault against an officer with a deadly weapon, Mzs. Haskens was told that she would have to go to Dor- chester Court on Monday morning to place her complaint against him because they couldn't help her. And she thinks thar the only reason why things like this are beginning to happen in the Columbia Point com- munity is because the people there are moving onthe Community Con- trol of Police Now,due to the raised level of resistance that the people have reached the pigs look for, act- ually search for reasons to come into the Black community with guns drawn. The pigs inthe streets have been carrying on like the maddogs that they are, but this will be stopped. Point # 7 of the Black Panther Party Ten Point Platform and Program states: ‘‘We want an immediate end to Police Brutality and Murder of Black people. We believe we can end police bru- tality by organizing self-defense groups that are dedicated to de- fending our Black community from racist policeoppression and bru- tality.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Diane Fauntleroy Boston Chapter Black Panther Party BARBARA JONES, BLACK WOMAN, RECEIVES CRUEL and UNJUST PUNISHMENT Throughout the history of man, governments have been set up, fundamentally, as systems for the purpose of providing its people with the basic necessities of land, bread, housing, education, clothing and peace. Today in America, which has boasted universally of justice and equality for all and painted a picture of itself as a land flowing with milk and honey, Black people in particular, and poor people in general, are con- tinually struggling for these ba- sic necessities of life. In their communities, unemployment, hun- ger, and lack of housing are com- mon everyday problems which for- ces these exploited masses to live in the nightmare of the American dream. Last month, Barbara Jones, a Black woman in her early twen- tles found herself in the situation of being out in the streets with her 9 month-old baby having no place to go. The previous day, April 9, she had returned from the hospital to find a card from the Constable serving notice of her eviction. The following morning, which gave Barbara less than a day to prepare, the movers ar- rived, took her furniture and placed it in storage. This act is indici- tive of the greedy, money-hungry attitude of most landlords in the Black community, Barbara had only missed one month's rent. However, the loss of a few dollars had priority over a woman anda child without shelter. Barbara thencalledthe A A.A.A, Alilance, the company which had possession of her furniture, to find out the amount needed for its return, She was told that the pig- gish amount was $150.00. Contact- ing her social worker, Barbara explained her present state and was told that she couldn't get any assistance, This short spell of amnesia was cured after Barbara gave him a short reminder on the duties of social workers and the purpose of the so-called welfare system. Barbara got an apartment and welfare gave her $15 for a food order. She received no money for necessities such as diapers for the baby, sheets, blankets, pots, pans, ¢tc,--after her $15 food order which meant living in an an empty apartment with a mea- ger $10 worth of food. Two weeks passed before the storage company received a check which meant that Barbara and her baby, if it were not for the ald of her next door neighbor, would have been forced to liveoff of what we call in the Black community, wish sandwiches and alr pudding. Entering the third week the furniture had not been delivered, so the storage company was con- tacted to find out why no delivery been made, Over the tele- phone, in very nasty tones, the storage owner informed Barbara that the furniture would be de- livered sooner or later. Taking her neighbor along, for moral sup- port, Barbara went down to A AAA, Alliance in order toper- suade this fool to deliver her badly needed furniture as soon as possible, According to the nelgh- bor, on arriving they were met by this fool. He took them to his of- fice, described as having no lights or windows, where he had twolarge dogs, acting in the same manner as their master, lke depraved beasts, When they demanded the furniture this mad dog maniac, posing as a human being, started pointing and shouting, telling them to shut up. Seeing that it would be useless to try to communicate and fearing that one of the dogs might attack the children, they left. Bar- bara then contacted her lawyer who in turn contacted the storage owner, Persisting in his con- spiracy of madness he claimed that he had been threatened by the neighbor The lawyer advised her not to return with Barbara when she went to sign for her furniture which was delivered at the end of the week. Even then,some of her possessions were not returned. These events seem ridiculous in a society that only a few weeks earlier sent two more men to the moon, When we check out the his- tory of this country a clear under- standing of this American society can be gotten, A history which started with the genocide of the mis-named Indians, the enslave- ment and slaughter of Black peo- ple, bringing us on up to the pre- sent murders of people of color in Vietnam, Cambodia, Latin America and the continued mur- ders of Blacks manifested in the justifiable homicide of this law and order state, can only end by the masses of the people rising up to smash this vicious monster. We have the duty to ourselves and to mankind in general for all peo- Lau to be able a live in peace happiness, only solution is revolution. x “ FREE THE PEOPLE! Donna Boston Chapter Black Panther Party Point number five of our Ten- Point Platform and Program ts: “We want education that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want an education for our people that tea- ches us our true role and history in present-day society. At Castlemont High School in East Oakland, an Intolerable sit- uation exists in the form of the Principal, Verdease Carter, long time bootlicker, lackey, Uncle Tom, and enemy number one of the students. A brief history will help us to understand why he and other such jack-a-napes areplaced in such strategic positions, Castle- mont ts approximately 90% Black, and in recent years has been rocked by student rebellions, In 1966-67 a racist, senile, alcoholic by the name of George Cherry was prin- cipal and it was proven through his staggering practice that his drunken concern for the students was less than nil. After the stu- dents waged a very effective cam- paign of destruction, Cherry was dethroned and his replacement, Benjamin Hargrave, didn’t last long (more than likely because he was only an amateur at selling students out-as compared to his successor). In 1969, the Superintendant of Oakland Public Schools, Dr. (Quack) Stuart S Phillips, in des- peration placed super-lackey Car- ter in the vacated postion, guided by the premise that any Black face would quell the turbulence.

Reed, one of those ar- rested and an acknowledged sym- Pathizer with the Black Panther Party, referred to the arrests as “a political frame-up in Dover to do away with Blark youth who are becoming aware."’ In connection with the parading _ charge, Reed said, ‘‘we planned our march in support of Bobby Seale’s trial weeks ago, but every time we talked to Dover Police Chief W, Lloyd Spence about securing a per- mit, he refused.’ “Spence told us that If the permit was connected with Panther activ- ities, to forget it,’ said Reed, Spence, however, said they never made application for a permit, “As for the public nuisance charge, Reed said, ‘‘the march was peaceful, orderly and without inct- dent." ‘That fs, until the police brought out one of their dogs for ho reason."* Reed reported that one of the youths arrested was bitten by the dog, but police said no medical treatment was required.

He said copies of the ordinance, like any other law, are available for read- ing in a number of places. Reed claims that he’s been to the city police department and City Hall several times to see the or- dinance, but charged that it must be invisible, “‘We want to distribute the lit- erature in the Black community here to show the people how police and government agencies are vic- jously prosecuting the Black Pan- ther Party,'” he said James §S.

East Oakland Community Center Gregory Lewis Black Panther Party FOR CORRECT INFORMATION A couple of days ago, In one of Boston's many ‘*movement’’ papers, it was stated that the New Haven Panthers were stressing that non-violence be the order of the day on May 1. This paper also went on to say that the Boston Chapter was reluctant to go along with anon-violent rally, and that we hesitated to organize for one, Well, I don't know where these fools are getting their information, but from the extent of its inaccuracy, it sounds like it came from the fas- cists’ Stars and Stripes. Anyone who knows anything about the structure and leadership of the Black Panther Party should know that there is no ideological gap between any of the branches or chapters whether it be locally, nationally, or internationally. We have one primary objective in mind, and that’s the total liberation of Black people in particular and everybody else in general, So that when a so-called “radical paper”’ comes out with some garbage like that then they were put in the same category as the racist fascist Re- cord American, Boston Globe, New York Times, etc. (the government controlled media) , The only kind of result that can come from relying on the mass media is negative because the American press is not free be- cause it accepts the ideology ofthe government and the system, It does not editorialize against cap- italism, imperialism, or take a staunch stand against racism. It does not question the practice of these pigs; it merely suggests var- fous means by which the pigs may prevail, Because the news media is government controlled, its re- portage of protest and resistance activities, organizations and is- sues reflect their bias, It reports in such a manner that the report itself becomes a weapon to be used by the pigs to stifle pro-revo- lutionary activity and muster reactionary support for the fas- cists, Twenty-four hours a day, the pig news media {s shaping opinions and attitudes In this country. We cannot and must not use our ene- mics’ means of communicating mis-information for our own ends, Using the historyof Blacks as a reference: In the early decades of this century, Whites attacked and killed niggers every day, These were reported as ‘race riots’, although it was niggers who did all the dying. What would have been the effect if they had been reported as massacres which in fact they were. In the latter part of the 60's nation-wide rebellions were reported as ‘‘riots'’, creat- ing the impression of barbarism and anarchy running rampant in the Country. To have reported them as rebellions would have been to admit that niggers hada legitimate right to act as we did. And now niggersare beginning to understand how the news media and the fascist pigs are bound up tight in a jive conspiracy to shoot a super lead game of oppression, repression and aggression on the peace-loving people of America, especially the Afro-American,and unless these pigs stop their bru- tal acts perpetuated upon us, we will launch every ballistic missile these pigs have got. And we can do it, jack, because a couple of bad niggers armed with the teachings of Huey P Newton and going on the historical experiences of Black people in Babylon can strike blow after fatal blow to these in- sane pigs, and turn disorder into order We say this is not a bad, thing, but a good thing because the Black Panther Party isthe people's Party and we are primarily {n- terested In freeing man. ‘ “‘.,.Well, information ts the raw material for new ideas.

DARE TO STRUGGLE-DARE TO WIN Bennie Harris San Francisco, Branch Black Panther Party FLORIDA------- JAKE RENOLDS MURDERED MARCH 26, 1970 (Experience related to jersey City Black Community Informa- tion Center--by a member of jake Walker Renolds’ family.) -Jake Walker Renolds was mur- dered on March 26, 1970, ar 12:15 a.m. in Homestead, Florida, in Dade County, Jake was murdered by night-riders, dressed in blue--armed with a gun and hid- ing behind a S-pointed star--sym- bolic of the terrorist arm of the pig power structure, jake, returning from a hunting trip, was placing his shotgun in the trunk of his car, when out of the gutter came racist pigs ready to kill. Jake was told to drop his gun and he did, When the gun hit the ground it went off accidently. The pigs, aggres- sive by nature and lacking the intelligence to conduct an inves- tigation, shot Jake twice; then while he was lying on the ground helpless and bleeding, these pigs pumped 10 more rounds into his body. People from the commun-" ity stated that the pig that had directed this cold-blooded mur- der had a personal grudge against Jake, stemming from past years’ relationship. Now in 1970 this degenerate, backed by the ‘jaw and order’ theory and armed with a gun, felt that he had the authority--the right--to mur- der another human being because of his own personal dislike, When Jake’s father went to claim bis body, he was denied en~ try and was told that he could view the body only on closed cir- cuit T.V. A doctor called in by the family to examine the body was told he could not examine the body but would also have to view it on closed circuit T.V, Jake’s personal property was confiscated. The pigs tried to give the family a jacket that they said Jake had on, but Jake's father had never seen this jacket and refused to take it, The next day a departmental hearing was held by the pig de- partment and the pig’s verdict was one that Black people have heard for over 300 years when- ever racists commit acts of gen- ocide upon us--"‘justifiable hom- icide’’, These scurvy terrorists lied and said that Jake was shot only twice. Jake's father and the whole Black community of Homestead wants to know, if Jake” was shot twice, and if it was justifiable homicide, and if the pigs are telling the truth and have nothing to hide, why all the secrecy? The answer to this question is clear, Jake was mur- 4% dered, his body mutilated, Jake's family was lied toandthe pigs are guilty. Black people will no longer al- low these acts of terrorism to be perpetrated against us. The ra- cist dog policeman must withdraw immediately from the black com- munity, cease his wanton tor- ture, brutality and murder of Black people, or face the wrath of the armed people .

This mixture should be spread on the face as well as other exposed areas of the body, Vinegar in a handkerchief, is an effective agent to breathe through, but vinegar should not be spread on the face, The vinegar-soaked handkerchief and the egg mixture should, together, make an effective anti-tear gas team, POCKET LAWYER OF LEGAL FIRST AID This pocket lawyer is provided asa means of keeping biack people up to date on their rights. We are always the first to be arrested and the racist police forces are constantly trying to pre- tend that rights are extended equally to all people. Cut this out, brothers and sisters, and carry it with you. Until we arm ourselves to righteously take care of our own, the pocket lawyer is what's happening. 1. If you are stopped and/or arrested by the police, you may re- main silent; you do not have to answer any questions about al- leged crimes, you should provide your name and address only if requested (although it is not absolutely clear that you must do so.) But then do so, and at all time remember the fifth amendment. 2. If a police officer is not in uniform, ask him to show his iden- tification, He has no authority over you*unless he properly identi- fies himself. Beware of persons posing as police officers. Alwoys get his badge number and his name. 3. Police have no right to search your car or your home unless they have a search warrant, probable cause or your consent. They may conduct no exploratory search, that is, one for evidence of crime generally or for evidence of a crime unconnected with the one you are being questioned about. (Thus, o stop for an auto violation does not give the right to search the auto.) You are not required to consent to o search; therefore, you should not consent and should state clearly and unequivocally that you do not consent, in front of witnesses if possible. If you do not consent, the police will have the burden in court of showing probably cause. Arrest may be corrected later. 4. You may not resist arrest forcibly or by going limp, even if you are innocent. To do so is a separate crime of which you can be con- victed even if you are acquitted of the original charge. Do not re- sist arrest under any circumstances. 5. If you are stopped and/or arrested, the police may search you by patting you on the outside of your clothing. You can be stripped of your personal possessions. Do not carry anything that includes the name of your employer or friends. 7. Do not engage in “friendly” conversation with officers on the way to or at the station Once you are arrested, there is little like- lihood that anything you say will get you released. 8. As soon as you have been booked, you have the right to com- plete at least two phone calls—one to a relative, friend or attorney, the other to a bail bondsman. If you can, call the Black Panther Party, 845-0103 (845-0104), and the Party will post bail if possible 9. You must be allowed to hire and see an attorney immediately. 10. You do not have to give any statement to the police, nor do you have to sign any statement you might give them, and therefore you should not sign anything. Take the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, because you cannot be forced to testify against yourself. 11. You must be allowed to post bail in most cases, but you must be able to pay the bail bondsmen’s fee. If you cannot pay the fee, you may ask the judge to release you from custody without bail or to lower your bail, but he does not have to do so. 12. The police must bring you into court or release you within 48 hours after your arrest (unless the time ends on a week-end or a holiday, and they must bring you befbre a judge the first day court is in session.) 13. If you do not have the money to hire an attorney, immedi- ately ask the police to get you an attorney without charge. 14, If you have the money to hire a private attorney, but do no! know of one, call the National Lawyers’ Guild or the Alameda County Bar Association (or the Bar Association of ydur county) and furnish you with the name of an attorney who practices criminal law. a “Revolution In <> Our Lifetime” ace et art rs OCEANSIDE MDM ATTACKED ONE WOUNDED --reprint from Liberation News Service Oceanside, Cal. (LNS)--A little after midnight on April 29 about 25 active duty Marines from Camp Pendleton and civilian GI organi- zers were gathered in the staff house of the Movement for a Dem- ocratic Military (MDM) in Ocean- side, California, They talked in small groups about two successful meetings that had been held earlier that evening. At about 12:00, night raiders di- rected a long burst of automatic weapons fire from a passing carat the house. Inside, people hit the floor, scrambling to defense posi- tions. When the shooting wasover, Pfc. Jesse Woodard (Shanti) was lying wounded hit by a 45 caliber bullet, Most of the other marines had already left and those present were either on the civilian staff or onthe central committee of MDM. The reason for the attack is not difficult to find. In its five months of existence, MDM has attacked the military more and more strongly at its weakest point: its cannon fodder, its common soldier. MDM was formed in November by Marines from Camp Pendleton and sallors from the San Diego Na- val complex. It has since spreadto military bases all over California, In the preamble to its demands MDM states “.,.We are dedicated to using every means at our dis- posal to bring about a prompt end to the war in Vietnam, the explol- tation of our brothers and sisters abroad, and the repression--both physical and ecomonic--of those in our own land. We feel that by re- maining silent, the serviceman has contributed to the denial of this deep- founded right of himselfand of people everywhere to live free from intimidation and oppression, We have been silent fora longtime, We will be silent no longer.’’ Through its paper, Attitude Check, MDM reaches about 8,000 Marines all over the country, MDM has not gone unnoticed by the pig. All over Camp Pendleton dally harangues by lifers and of- ficers tell of the evils of “MDM Communism’ . Every MDMofficer is under Court martial charges for such offenses as being three min- utes AWOL and for distribution of Attitude Check, Its offices, like those of almost all the Glorganizing projects, have been subject toalmost constant po- lice and terrorist surveillance and harassment, The most recent shooting incident ranks with the bombing of the coffeehouse at Fort Dix as one of the most extreme in- cidents in the long line of busts, raids, and threats that have been used to try to intimidate the GI movement, MDM has decided not to be scared off by gun-toting rightists, It has called for a rally in Ocean- side to protest the shooting and to step up its organizing efforts on the base to counteract the fear and to build on the anger created by the shooting of one of MDM'’s best speakers. Nationwide military demonstra- tions will take place during nine days in May culminating on May 16 (Armed Forces Day) when civilians and GI's from all over Southern California will converge on Oceanside tocelebrate People’s _ Armed Forces Day. oe cw IS Bi ; ; : , THE BLACK PANTHER, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1970 PAGE 20 En naw ney wi Crm eres ee October 1966 _ Black Panther Party Platform and Program What We Want What We Believe vr ; Black Panther Pa rly 1, We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community. We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to deter- mine our destiny * 2. We want full employment for our people. We-believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or 4 guaranteed income. We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment. then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and em- ploy all of its people and give a high standard of living SLD 1 MEMES ff ff ES ff Sf IEE Lf ff AER OET ff ff ES SF CEE ST LS SEE ES EEE ES FEE OT FF 6, , 3. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community. We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand that we make. 4. We want decent housing. fit for shelter of human beings. We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society. We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a know!l- edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance.to relate to anything else. 6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. We believe that Black people, should not be forced to fight in the 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 Constitution 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 believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, en- vironmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning nian” 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 nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions‘of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights;. that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 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 be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pur- suing invariably 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. —_ —— = LE LSE SS OE EEE LL Lf Sl LE ff ff |S ff cc FT SS ey Pr oS LLL | ET ff ff AES ff ff OS! ff ff PA I ff ff PLES ff ff RET J ff fg Sow ‘od X spective Chapters.
