THE DLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1970 PAGE A HOW LONG LIBERATION, HOW LONG FREEDOM? How long before iberation* iow thin is a class system, The more long before freedom’) Howlope*tll money you have, the higher your it be UN we're truly free! How standing People are also divided long? It's been over four hundred into groups on the taalis of color years now, How much longer wil) it take? We've marchod, picketed, petitioned, boycotted, ricted, «at In, rode In, stalled im, laid in, kneeled in, prayed In, and begged In, but we're still not free, How much longer will it take? How long before liberation The answers to these questions are simple, Liberation will come when Hlack people decide that they really want to be free, Liberation Will come when Black people seize Control of all the things that affect Our lives, Liberation will come when Black poople take up armato destroy those who are oppressing ant exploiting us. How long before liberation’ tt will come when we take It, and not before Most Black people, for a long time, have been living under @ Gangerous Uluston, Black people (and White people too) have been ied to beolleve that White people Were free, andaccordingly we have based our Uberation struggle on this incorreet premise, The re- sults of this Incorrect” view Is Obvious-We still ain't free White paople in this country ary used and misused in much the same way that Black people are used to enrich the pocketbooks of a few avaricious White pigs{the Rocke- fellers, the Kennedys, the HL Hunts, ¢tc.), The anly difference in the situation of Black people and the majority of White people are ()) White people are allowed and encouraged to Use and misuse Black people and other people of color in this country in any way they see fit by the prevalent racism that exists here (2) While people are given a small siiare of the profit from the murder and exploltation of other peoples of color around the world it 14 important to recognize that America ts a class system, People are divided into groups on the basis of the amount of money Uwy have with White on the top and Dlack people on the bottom. These two differences raise the standing of ihe masses of White people lo a higher level than thatof ilack peo- ple in the American atructure, These extra crumbs do not con- stitule frewdoin for White people The only thing it doen is make Black people more oppressed than White people The objective of our struggeie for along time has boento reach the levelof White people belleving that was fremiom, We have tried baste- ally two methods for the achleve- ment of this goal. The first method was integration and the second method was the ‘four share of the pie’ approach. Both approaches are Incorrect because they are based on an incorrect idea (that the massep of White people are free) Integration was opposed by both the White pig power structure and by the masses of White peo- ple. The masses of White people opposed Integration not only out of pure ractal hatred for Black peo- ple (a hatred that has been fon- tered over the centuries by the power structure) but also out of what they belleved to bo their ‘self-interest’, Since White peo- ple’s higher level in the American Structure is based partly on the oxploitation of Black people, they could not allow these very same people to be integrated with them without losing their standing The White ple power structure opposed Integration but on differant grounds. The White pig power structure was afraid that Uf inte- ¢ration wad uchieved and the mass- as of White people lost one of thelr crumbs that they would become alienated and turn on them (the pigs) The pl¢ power atruc- ture even fanned the flames of racism to prevent Integration from occuring. You may disagree and point to all the civil rights laws as proof of thelr sincerity bul a law is only words on a plece of BLACK The essence, of the existence of The Black Panther Party ts de- fined in the immediate need that mething must te done to re- lieve us from the present of renalive social order \ series of activities spearheaded by the Pare ty ranging {r« the tusting af Huey | Nowton an the strvet with his Uleration tool, 12 guage shotgun to the shoot out in LA where I) nameless niggers held ot! 0 fasciats,a living to te about Mf and to talk about those pigs both telifie a victory for biack poople A victory over fear The focal point of frarty tivities is affected by the kn ledge that we are afforded wry little tie by the bloodsucking vu turer which on the other side of the colin te we that » must be doing sometning teht I quickening ichening pac which the fascista, are presen moving | Na a PeO- ple ant | ! ve van ' their ctepoka: to secury rrvolw thonary | ' , ANT) } IMON'T St ‘ poy HOVLD I SHETEUL TL ANY Wad on PORM, I Svetian mt popy | : , rik MUSLIS ' LEAD Ds EXISTS INT A th Al Nv rik MINH WALL HOW Hoy WILKINe ¥ KED ARON AND THE BLACK MUSLIMS HE SAID NEVER HEAHD OF THEM ND THEN HE FLASHED A PIC- rt HE OF HIM SHAKING HANDS WITH ME AND | THINK THAT ONE OF THE MISTAKES THAT OUR PRO- PLE MAKE IS THEY HE Too QUICK TO APOLOGIZE YON VOMETHING THAT MIGHT EX- IST THA’ THE POWER STHUC VRES FINDS DEPLOHABLE OH MFRICULT TO DIGEST WITHOUT EVEN HEALIZING SOME rime S WE THY ANI EVEN PROVE THAT fT DOEN'T EXIST AND IF (TT DOESNT OMETIME tT SHOULI 1 AM ONE PENSON Whitt HELIEVES NY THING THE BLACK MAN [IN THIS COUNTRY NEEDS ' it FREEDOM HIGHT NOW THA TUL HOULD EX VEHYI .

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1970 PAGE 14 THE PENTAGON ELDRIDGE CLEAVER, MINISTER OF INFORMATION, In Babylon today, power is in the hands of the Pentagon, For Black people the power in Babylon has always rested in the hands of the forces that are now centralized in the Pentagon, Under the dictator- ship of Richard The Piz Hearted all politics are being transferred into war and in order to deal with this situation, Pig Hearted has turned directly to the Pentagon. Minister of Defense, Huey P. Newton, has said that ‘‘Politics is war without bloodshed, and war is politics with bloodshed.’’ The Detroit rebellion of 1967 was higitly political. As were all the Black rebellions throwzhout the blood- stained history of Babylon, Bul tt was during the Detroit rebellion that Lyndon Baines Johnson ran to the Pentagon for help, Jolinson turned Detroit over tothe Pentagon, lo the Department of Defense and Black people were repressed by a military operation masterminded from the Pentagon, Following Detroit, Johnson created in the Pentagon a center Jor urban military problems, This center is of the same character as all the other centers in the Pen- tagon that deal with other theaters of war, such as Indochina and Palestine, Inside the Pentagon, Babylon itself has been tagged as a theater of war and inside the center for mililary problems, war games are plotted on maps on the walls. A little colored light blinks on and off and the brains of the Pentagon plot just liow they will move given a certain situalion, The pigs of the Pentagon have a program for the repression of dissent and rebellion inside Babylon, and Piz Hearted Nixon is moving in such a way that the only force inside Babylon that can possibly keep him in power is the Pentagon. Some people prefer to falk about the ‘Military Industrial Complex,”* But we think that is wrong. We think ~ that this so-called complexis ulti- mately and essentially controlled by the Pentagon simply because in the last analysis the Pentagon controls the guns and it is still true that ‘Political power grows oul of the barrel of a gun,."’ The Pentagon ts nothing but the headquarters for the policemen of the whole world, Pigs, And the pigs of the Pentagon are dug in deep, Suddenly the Pentagon becomes known to us as the most importanl factor in our lives and our struggle to survive and we are shocked to discover that we know almost nothing about the Pentagon, It is shrouded in mystery projected as a myth, yet it reaches out to kill us, strikes us down dead. Even though we are ignorant about the inner workings of the Pentagon, the Pentagon is the force that we must deal with. It has been made clear to us that White Amer- ica regards us as. a military pro- hliem, The domestic police-local police departments and National Guard-have all been programmed by the Pentagon, Following the Detroit rebellion, the Pentagon pul out a call to all the governors, mayors, chiefs of police and heads of national guard units, These pigs flocked to the Pentagon and held meetings where the problems of suppressing Black people in particular and dissenters in geneyval were discussed. Battle plans were formulated, Each city considered to be a hot spot was programmed, It was after these series of meetings that the police departments throughout the United States began arming themselves with the same military equipment and weapons that are being used against lhe people in Vietnam, General Davis, the long time Black lackey who was made chief of police of Cleveland, Ohio, is a creature of the Pentagon and the BLACK PANTHER PARTY, U.S.A. clearest example of what we are now faced with, On other levels, GI's returning from Vietnam are offered special benefits and pri- vileges if they join the domestic police. The terroristic nature of murder by pigs under the Nixon Adminis- tration is the result of conspiracies hatched at the Pentagon, The recent murders of students at Kent, Jack- son, and Augusta makes it very clear that an over all plan is in action, This pig plan calls for per- secution on political judicial levels and slaughter in the streets. This is the classical plan for operation employed by oppressors inthe pro- cess of putting down the rebellions of oppressed people against colonial and imperialist rule, We have offed the pigs’ political and the pigs’ judicial system and now the big pigs, the demagogic politician and the avaricious bus- inessmen have only one card to play against us; the Pentagon. It is to our advantage to get this clearly in’ our minds so that we can continue to know our enemy. We must focus our attack on the operations of the Pentagon and thoroughly expose this vicious plo! against us. But beyond the need to expose the Pentagon there is also the need to destroy it, The Penta- gon must be eliminated as the brain center for the suppression of the peodle of the whole world. This pentagonism was thoroughly ex- posed recently when the Pentagon dispatched troops to Cambodia at the samv time othiat ttedispatched frooos to New Haven to intimidate the May Day Mass) Rally, 4000 Marine and Pavatroopers were sent in fo back up 8009 National Guards- mon who were backing ub the local police, us YS the Special re- pressive forces of the state in Peration, CONT, ON NEXT PAGE in ie

This was the beginning of the ‘‘Walker Case.”’ Major General Edwin Anderson ‘*Ted"' Walker, commander of the 24th Infantry Division in Germany, was a well-known officer; a tall, lean-visaged, Texas bachelor re- garded as a great ‘‘catch’’ in the Army social whirl, He led combat troops in the Korean War, After the Korean War, he revealed signs of restlessness and impatience, There seemed nothing to fight for- or against, When he asked to be relieved of a Pentagon staff assign- ment within six months, his super- iors decided to send him to a ‘‘safe"’ place where he could sort himself out, They chose the Arkan- sas Military Districl, where he would handle National Guard and Reserve affairs, Seven weeks after Walker settled into his office in Little Rock, he was responsibli for maintaining the peace m Presi- dent Bisenhower's effort to enforce desegregation at Central High School, The was fo? General Walker-a Southerner with a parochial view-a ‘‘last straw,’ He said afterward he regarded thé use of troops in desegregation as a ‘‘non-military adventure,”’ ‘ xpe rience In September, 1962, the man who had “kept the peace” at Little Rock joined and, in at least one instance, incited the riolers on the University of Mississippi campus at the time of th James Meredith, a Negro. The re- sultant battle of brick, rocks, Molo- tov cocktails and tear gas left two dead and Imndreds injured. The enyvollment of By Jack Raymond former Army officer was charged with insurrection and seditious con- Spiracy. The charges afterward were dropped. exx_xxxENEEEEES More than five hundred long- range jet bombers are ready at all times to take off within minutes of an alert signal and fly nearly halfway round the world and back without refueling, Each warplane can deliver at least one twenty- megaton bomb-one thousand times more powerful than the twenty- kiloton bomb that pulverized Htro- shima, The Air Force possesses also more than fifteen hundred ‘‘obsolescent’™’ jet bombers that can carry oul similar missions with the aid of remarkable mid-air refuel- ing tanker planes, To be certain of response, a _ certain number of flight crews sit in their planes at the end of runways.

Many people can absolutely agree on the inescapable necessity ol destroying the systemof oppression under which we now suffer, and fox replacing it with something better, But what divides us isthe questions of How? and When? How successfully without,in the process,negating our do we move, precisely, to accomplish our goal goal? When do we move? Once we realize what has to be done and also how to do it, we enter the political movement, and after that, the way that we move defines us politically, The expla- nation as to why we choose to move in a certain way requires a psychiarist -- for us, Fanon, (By now, we should all have studied Fanon’s THE WRETCHED OF THE EARTH.) We believe that Huey P, Newton, after carefully defining our present situation, discovered the form that Our struggle must take in order to successfully achieve our goal, And he also showed us when to move Huey defined the situation of Black people inside the United States as a domestic colony of U.S, Imperialism, A colony inside the very lair of the rapacious beast of imperialism, A colony sharing the same land mass as the colonizers, the population of the colony dis- persed throughout the population of the colonial power. Neither separated by either land or water, Huey defined the police depart- ment by the imperialists to suppress the colonized terrorize them, and keep them in check. This is a constant process of brutalization, because the constantly ix chains.

There are more Black people in the United State than there are pigs of the ruling Our population is larger than that of many sovereign nations of the earth, But only by relentlessly struggling can we smash out of the trickbag that we have been placed in, class, Pigs, White racist pigs, say that Black people should not fight for their rights, that they should be peaceful, moderate, and reason- able, History will show that Black people have pursued their freedom and liberation with the utmost re- straint, with patience, and long suffering, In fact, history will show that the pigs drove us to ourknees, and that, down on our knees in the Luther King position, we begged for mercy. Down on our knees we begged White racist pigs for = nor only did these they denied mercy, And pigs deny us justice, us mercy. They denied us humanity itself. So let them criticize ow want to; Let us criticizing them weapons all they move on them, with our weapons, 'Mercy’ is nor a word one should throw around loosely, Mercy is the other side of the coin of lity. Mercy and Pity arecivilized norions, They ire, in fact, essential elements ol a true civilization, When Mercy and Pity are absent In any social or- ganization, that society cannot be classified as civilized. Measured by that standard, Babylon must be rotally destroyed -- and with Pity- Pity each pig heart that we cut out of a pig’s chest, Pity it to death, When we begged for Mercy we were the Blues People, We are not begging anymore and we are Black people, And pigs can’t dig it, can’t relate to it, For instance, they have provoked us to madness, Madness, People are right when they say that Black people are not in a position to face down the pigs on their level, But we are ina position toimplement head-up mur- der, We can guarantee the total destruction of Babylon -- with a form of struggle that pigs will call madness, But madness isthe Black man’s hydrogen bomb inside Baby- lon, and we must unleash this hydrogen bomb, now, because pigs are carrying out spiracy of extermination against our people, Ands\since we have everything tn rhe pot, whyshouldn’r everything and everybody in Baby- lon be in the pot with tis?

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 33, 1970 PAGE 20 (PAPA) Carmichael has stated Stokely that he conceives it as his mission to educate Black people. Then why does he obstinately refuse to testify for Bobby Seale about his long friendship with George Sams, the traitor whose lying testimony is what the pigs are using in their premeditated attempt to murder Chairman Bobby in the electric chair? 1 am sure that Stokely’s testi- mony on this point would be very educational to the people of the whole world--who are watching, waiting, and listening to dig how Stokely moves, After all, it was none other than Stokely Carmichael who sent that running dog, George Sams, from Detroit to San Fran- cisco in february 1968, and vouched to us for him, and per- sonally sponsored him into the Black Panther Party, Could Stokely’s equivocation on helping Chairman Bobby have any- ELDRIDGE SLUKEEYS JIVE thing to do with his miraculous ability to walk around Babylon free while brothers and sisters are being murdered in their sleep? Even Rap Brown was forced to draw a clear line of demarcation between himself and the enemy, and he was chair- man of SNCC after Stokely. And Brother Ralph Featherstone is dead, Could it be that Stokely’s puz- zling behavior hides something much deeper than that? Stokely Car- michael is no bumbling idiot, And he is not a wizard or a crossword puzzle, Why did he choose to re- sign from the Black Panther Party in the middle of the McClellan Committee hearings and denounce the Party with a jive Black Power version of the same charges that the \icClellan Committee is de- signed to fabricate against the Party in the pigs’ plan to destroy the Party? Stokely, the upright Prima Donna of the “I'm Black and I'm Proud” set, has made it very clear that he would like to see the Black Panther Party go out of existence, He thinks he {s on some kind of *'Come-Back”’ trail. He wants to see his name In lights again, his grinning face on the cover of magazines, his deeds and actions on everybody's lips, In Africa, his name is on every- body's lips -- but it has turned into a curse, a case stuay of another fat-mouth fool turning inside out, People ask, ‘‘What's wrong with Stokely?’ | answer, the same thing that happened to Tshombe and Mo- buto, Some poison at the core of his ego has burst forth, under pressure, and his true inclinations, his ultimate inclinations, are sur- facing. | never will forget that he told us,during the Pan-African Cul- tural Festival, that ‘‘You guys are up there now, up on top, but just watch me, l’ll be back up there,” Stokely is only one of his type, There are many more jackanapes running around who passionately hate the Black Panther Party, not because of any objective political analyses, but precisely because the Black Panther Party blew their game away and moved the stakes so high that their cowardly nature caved in and so they had to get off of a too hot scene, From the sidelines, they hover like vultures, more anxious than the pigs to see the Party die it’s last breath, These power mad egotists have begun to make all kinds of alliancesin order to hang-on*to the scene, Vhe basic problem of the type of nape we're discussing is that he has Black bourgeois origins and has great difficulty relating to the brothers and sisters off the block, the Lumpen, of which the Black Panther Party is composed, All these freaks with their college ed- ucations, from Jimmy Garrett, Ron Karenga, LeRoi Jones, to Sir Stokely, saw the sky falling in upon them and felt the carpet slipping under their feet when the Black Panther Party, led by Huey P, Newton and Bobby Seale, came on the scene, Thrashing around wild- ly in the quicksand of their own twisted minds, they have reached out and shook hands with the Devil and said, ‘‘Power To Me, By Any Means Necessary”, To Stokely and his kind, we say; Neither one monkey nor a whole boxcar full is gonna stop this show because this is the final act, When the curtain falls, there will be prizes to hand out, and we will see to it that you get yours, Now lick thateup)@Stokely, with your long, international toncue, ALL POWER TQ TRE PEOPLE!

After | was dressed they pot a chai around my waist. It had a little clip on it, and an extra picce of seven-inch chain hanging down. Then they put two sets of handcuffs through one of the links in the chain and they put both cuffs on me, They brought out two more prisoners and put some leg irons on all of us ~ They drove out through the city and as we went Up the ramp on the freeway and started toward the Bay Bridge, # highway patrolman fell in beliind us. As we went further by the main police station, another highway patrolman got in front of us, That's how we went acrom the bridge, At the toll plaza a third highway patrolman pulled in behind us We then headed north on Interstate 80 to Sacramento The marshals stopped in Marysville and we ate there. | remember one of them asked me what | considered a silly question. He sid, “You guys wanna eat out here’ Some guys don’t like to let other people to we them chained down and everything.” “Man, it don't make me no difference,” I said ‘Tima political prisoner. It's up to these cats here.” They said they didn't care either, so we sat out there and ate for about 20 minutes At that time, although | didn’t know it, Allan Brotsky one of Garry's partners, had been arguing in court back in San Francisco for me, and the judge had ordered that Pinot be taken to Chicago, The U.S. Attorney kept on stalling He srid | was gone and they couldn't get in touch with our cat All they had to do was to contact the Highway Patrol es cort which followed us all the way to the Nevada border I noticed once when we did stop, the head marshal made a phone call, This was around noon, The judge had giver 1 said, “Man, the ats. ft’ ent, mar, in u lo} of way ting from you I eerse etid of this indictment to try to need Garry her md evervbod lawyer. | haven't confirmed any Selendis aren hust that my situation is rant f the: not going to be letting Hoffman pi for me, when tomey of record.

Five minutes later they came back and got me. Court still hucri't started. All the defendants were scaticred around the défense table. Schultz, Porat [government attorneys) were around the prosecution's table. | sald, “Brothers and sisters in the audience, | want to say a few things to. you You've been noticing for the past weeks in this courtroom that I've been getting threatened by the judge and they're talking about papging me and all this kind of crap, but 1 filve a right to speak out in my own behalf.

I hud demanded my rights. 1 told them; “I! demand my Constitutional rights.” 1 even banged on the table while | was talking, “And Judge Hoff- man, you know it,” Usaid. “T have a Constitutional right to defend myself.” They tecessed the court and then came back and Hoffman says, “Mr. Seale, are you going to dis cupt this court anymare?” “I'm not disrupting the court,” | replied, “I arn going to make my tequest and demand that | have a right to defend myself, because IL know | have that right.” Then Hoffman told the marshals, “Take the defendant and appropriately deal with him.” That's the way Hoffman said it. They took me back in the lockup right outside the courtroom, They got sume tape and put it acrow my mouth. They handcuffed my hands down close to the legs of a metal folding chair and put the irons on my legs They looped the chain throught one of the rods running across the front of the folding part of the chair and brought i out and clasped it to my right leg. The jury came back In, and Judge Hoffman sys some kind of crazy crap, “Disregard this and disregard that.” 1 shook my head at the jury and said, “Hub-ul, huhah” Some tears started rolling down ore of the juror’s eyes. | looked at the jury-—“Huleul.” Hoffman said stuff like, “Mr. Seale is trying to disrupt the court,” I shook my head at the jury, “Uheulh, ul-uh.” to indi cate | wasn't trying to disrupt { sat there and something else came. Hoffman sid some thing about mic, so | rattled the handcuffs against the metal chait—clang, clang, clang, clung, clang. as a means of abject ing, still trying to defend myself. A little later they brought a witness on 10 testify, and my name was mentioned Through the tape | fiollered, “It object,” in a muted sound, but it could be heard. The tape wasn't holding too well because of my beard. So f sxid again, “lL object, | ob ject, | have a tight to defend myself” So they took me out again, Two. or three marstals lifted the chair up and just took me hack inte the lockup. They put the tape back on mic, and pul amg around my mouth and tied the thing, atid took me back into the courtroom Later, Hoffman asked ime if | would promise mot to Uiv- rupt” the court.

Later another marshal came by and f said, “Say, rian, hese things are too tight,” 0 he loosened them, After that he put a lot of padding in front of my mouth, and ted a big large cag around it. The rag came across my mouth and went around the back of my neck. Another tag carne up ander my chin and was tied ina knot on the top of my head After | was gagged and everythitig, they went out and this cime big nigger punk pic tightened the straps right back up again uround my arms.

His elbow knocked me back against the back of the chair, He hit me again. Then three mote marshals attacked me, all at the same time with the other two still trying to pick up the chair. The whole chair went up in the air and fell all the way back inte the press section, The ptows was sitting directly behind the defense table and I fell on top of them, They were fran- tically trying {0 get out of the way. All of the marshals ran up to me at once. This cat wax still elbowing me, tightening this strap up on my left hand, Another manhal came rush- ing in and the chair rose halfway in the alt and fell aver af an angle, The pigs cushed in, and an elbow hit me right in the balls, right in my groin area, [t hurt the hell out of me. At that point I finally got the tips of my fingers up near my mustache and yanked and: pulled my head buck, yank- ing that gag off my moath. 1 hollered outs “You son of a bitch.

At the same time the judge was hollering. “The court is adjourned, the court is ad: journed.” The jury was cunning out; it looked like all 10 or 12 marshals were beating me over there, and killing me- Jerry Rubin, who was sitting next to me, got up and hol lored out, “Look what you're doing. Elbowimg that man You hit him in the mouth.” The judge said something: he was adjourning the court; it was completely chaotic. This all happened because Judge Hoffman had gagged me, and then this rotten pig tried to brutally treat me while { was gagged and bound and shackled to this chair HE NEXT MORNING, WHEN THEY TRIED to gag me, | thought | was going to die—1 mean really, lit- erally, die, because of the way they were doing things. 1 was in the lockup before court convened, and they said, “Sit in the chair.” “Don't tighten these things too tight on me," 1 rid. This one marshal sid, “We're not going to tighten them too tight.” So they strapped me down, anid after they strapped me down, this one cat who sid he wasn't going to tighten the things too tight said) “Bobby, we're going to put some- thing in your mouth.” “No, you're not putting a damn thing in my mouth,” | said. “Not in my mouth.” “Well, we have to put something inside your mouth, The judge has ordered it, and that’s what we're going to do,” “Huheth, no dr, you're not putting nothing in my mouth.” fd already made up my mind that if he so much as got his fingers near my mouth, | was going to bite his motherfucking fingers off. “You'd better not try to pot it in my mouth, because I huve @ tonsllitis problem, and it’s going to exhaust me.

Dispersed as they are withit) a-nation $0 chauvinistic that she likes to think of hetself as master of the world, the blacks, who are oppressed by racism and indifference and threat- ened by an oppressive police and administration, have been forced to wage a very new type of fight. That is how the Block Panther Party was created: first of all 10 defend the rights of the colonized blacks inside the ULS.A., but also to synthesize new ways for blacks to struggle against white Oppression. Faced with the vigor of their action and the accuracy. of their political thinking, the whites-and expecially the police—had a racial reaction almost immediately. as soon as the blacks proved that they Were able to organize them selves, the whites rushed to discredit their organization The palice wete therefore able to hide the true meaning of their intentions behind pretexts—trials based on drug, murder atl conspitacy charges. The fact of the matter is that thoy were trying to rrassacre the leaders of the Black Panther Party {In 1968. at the time of Hucy Newton's trial, the govern ment still ceerned reluctant to massacre the Black Panther Party. From May 2, 1967, to September 28, 1968—the date of Huey Newton's trial—there were $5 cases against mem bers of the Black Panther Party, All of thix happened within BALCK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1970 PAGE 20 HERE AND NOW FOR BOBBY SEALE by Jean Genet 4 period of 16 months But if we do another calctilation, this time from Septenp ber 28, 1968, to December 8, 1969, we find that there were 37 s casey against the Panthers, That was during a period of IS months, It ts mow April 1970. Less than a month ago, Bobby Seale was extradited from Californls ani sent to jail int New Haven, Connecticut.

Here and now, we we finding out that the colonized, within our own borders, who still appear to us like shadows in our midst, are about ta hecome our adversaries, in Our own countty To a foreign observer, the deteriortion of relations be tween blacks and whites is without mystery.

But in-an even more surreptitious way, the thought goes through people's minds and corrupts them. The intelligence and political daring of the blicks makes white people uneasy and tadignant. Blacks who have kept uheir sensitivity intact even in the face of such threats once again recognize the appeanince of the old enemy: racism If young white Americans in the past few yeats have tried) to conduct themselves ott an equal basit with blacks, pulice terror is about to throw. them back into theit forefathers” stupidity While middle-aged Americans in the lap of comfort huddle snugly in their security, the young will have every- thing to lose if they let themselves be dispossessed of thet fighting spirit.

POCKET LAWYER OF LEGAL FIRST AID | This pocket lawyer is provided os © means of keeping block eople up to dote on their rights. We are olways the first to be fed and the rocist police forces ore 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 te righteously toke core of ovr own, the pocket lawyer is what's 7 ng. 1. IF you ore stopped and/or arrested by the police, you may re- main silent; you do net have to answer any questions about ol- _feged crimes, you should provide your name ond oddress only if fequested (although it is not absolutely clear that you mus! do 10.) But then do so, and at ull time remember the fifth amendment. 2. If @ 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 os police officers, Alwoys get his bodge number and his name. 3. Police have no right to search your cor 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, @ stop for an aute violation does not give the right to search the auto.) You are not required to consent to © search; therefore, you should not consent and should state clearly ond 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 couse. Arrest may be corrected loter, 4, You moy not resist arrest forcibly or by going limp, even if you are innocent, To do so it a separate crime of which you con be con- victed even if you are ocquitted of the original charge.

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- hood that anything you say will get you released. 8. Ax soon as you hove been booked, you have the right to com- plete at leost two phone coll: —one to a relative, friend or attorney, the other to a bail bondsman.

You do not have to give any statement to the police, nor do you have to sign eny stotement you might give them, and therefore you should not sign anything. Toke the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, because you connot be forced to testify ogoinst 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 moy otk the judge to release you from custody without boil or to lower your bail, but he does not have to do so 12.

On the other hand. if whites who call themselves radicals are able to bring themselves together with blacks for this trisl, theirs will be a great victory. The torment of guilt which sup posedly is crippling them will lose its power Even a slight retreat in the repression would be a victory for the blacks and also for the whites.

= a ry HEM, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1970 PAGE 28 AN INTERVIEW WITH HAROLD MULVEY, JUDGE IN THE BOBBY SEALE CASE Ia late November, 196, Harold Mulvey, Forgharn law graduate, age SI, and Attorney General of the State of Connecticut, was interviewed tn & study of New Hayen’s power Structure, Harold Mulvey, member of the American Legion, Knights of Columbus, and St, Aeden's TA, and ecrony of state and national Democratic Party Chairman John Bailey, wis widely regarded as one of the most Influential men in the State, Three and a half years Jater, Mulvey, who, with the suppart of Bailey, had been promoted to the bench, was the presiding Judge in the trial of Black Panther Party Chairman Bobby Seale. The interview reproduced below was conducted with other objectives in mind; in 1966 there was no reason to believe that Mulvey, who was, after all, just another Conn- ecticut politician, would strain pro- minesce as the judge in what was to become one of the most important political trials in American his- tory. Yet that interview, as bland and undramatic af it is in its parts, taken as 4 whole reveals the racism of the man who will preside over the trial of Bobby Seale, The publicarion of parts of that interview reine a number of rather complex ethical issues. Mol- vey, of courge, had no reason to believe that his opinions on racial matters would be made public some four years later. But there is over-riding issue here, and one which takes ethical precedence over the lower-priority questions of the ethics of social research Seale could be executed for the part which he has so prominently and effectively played in the Black lib- eration struggle. ie in our belief that he has been framed, Hannah Arend: wrote “bout tet **hanality of evil.” Mulvey’s inter- view reveals the ‘banality of raciam.’’ No hysteria, no naine- calling, instead, rationalized racism of the semi-educated White man in @ ponition of power, Here ate the Stereotypes which cute So an Hobby the easily to Whites--utereotypes which help perpetuate the systen of White supremacy from whic authority imerview Judge Mulvey derives hi The reader of Mulvey's will not lave to work very bard t gain an insight into the mind of the jute on race ingues, For example, Black jeader Fredtiarris’ Hill Parents Association —- one of the few organizations in NewHaven in 1966 which had not been bought off by May or Lee's highly pub- licived, disgracefully exploitative Community Progress, Inc.--is said by Mulvey to bave @ membersiit of “Seven or eight, Sounde paper like 700 or #00.""

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 fo 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 isa 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 thal our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people. 5, We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society. We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl- edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he bys 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 mif- 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- Ranizing 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 piyes 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 oo that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the US. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is 4 person from a similar economic, social. religious, geographical, en- vironmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man" of the black community 10, We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, Justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny, When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and naturg’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions’of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a mew government, Inying its foundation on such principles, and organizing Its powers in such form, as to them shall scem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru- dence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not ie changed for light and transient causes: and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sulfvrable. than to mght themselves by abolishing Line fordtiete which they are avcustomen Bul, when a long train of abuses and ONtrpations pur- suing invariably the same object, evinees a design to reddee them under ab- solute despotinm, Ht ts their right. it is their daty, to throw off such povern: ment, and to provide new guards for their future security } . |
