Death has been our companion since we first got to the shores of this country and today, nothing has changed, A premeditated death greets us at every turn, this is known as a genocidal plan to ex- x e : , Ar! | 7 Pa NOVELL DURANT REFUSED AMBULANCE was refused ambulance service be- cause he didn't have $20.00, the fee charged to take a person to the hospital, While investigating the situation, which is a com-~ mon occurrence, it was learned that after the ambulaace was called it got there an hour later. The attendants, both racist Whites, thinking of nothing but money, 3 apse Ps } SERVICE FOR LACK OF $20.00. terminate an entire race of peo- ple, whose services are no longer needed, This plan is carried out in many devious ways and others not so devious, Sometimes onehas to look closely at a situatioa to know what’s really going dowa. On May 25th, 1970 Novell Duzaat Something they had been trained to do, failed to investigate, when if they had, they would have known that Novell had a clinic card which entitled him to free am- bulance service. But seeing there was no money to rob the blood of, they simply left the brother lying in the dirt suffering, saying they weren't taking him anywhere un- less he paid them $20.00. In other words they were saying, ‘‘Die Nig- ger Die’’. But Novell got to the hospital anyway. But dig oa this, the hos- pital that he had to go to was about five miles away from where he lives. There is a hospital in the Black community, but the Wel- fare Department assigned him to a hospital way out near the city limits, hoping the nigger would die before he got there. A Black man can see that these practices are nothing more than part and par- cel of a total plan of genocide against Black people, Tne plana becomes very clear as you look at the following facts: Novell Durant stays at 215 W. 10 1/2 St. with his step-father, Frank Joyner. Both men are dis- abled, Novell is an epileptic and Mr. Joyner has a number of disabling ills that keep him from working. They are both on welfare, Novell is supposed to start re- ceiving a check within the next two weeks and his step-father gets just enough to pay rent, It is neces- sary for him to find other means of obtaining food because the wel- fare department refuses to give him more money for food. They told him to take a full examina- . tion to see if he is totally dis- abled before they give nim any- more mosey, Novell's mother is at Black Mountain Sanitarium, a hospital for people with tubercu- losis. Novell had gone to the hos- pital before some time earlier in the moath at which time the doc- tor instructed him to stop taking medication for his epilepsy. The moment he got back home Novell had a seizure before he couldeven get into the house. After talking to Novell he told me that the doctor (Dr. Tucker at Forsyth Hospital) told him te had a case of pneumonia develop- ing. The doctor gave Novell some medicine and sent him home. N.C,C,F,, Winston-Salem Nelson Malloy Slumlord Oppression Continues In Mount Vernon Black people of Mount Vernon, as all across racist. America, are continually falling victims to greedy (avaricious) slumlord op- pression, These greedy capitalists are not interested in the welfare of the people and therefore should be exposed to the people for what theyreally are-*‘Greedy Slumlord Oppressors”’, Mr. Rodelle Paxton of 201 So. 1ith Avenue had to do her own painting, exterminating of roaches, poisoning of rats andheating of her water - Landlord Mike Coroldo.

Mrs Mildred Smith of 20 East Fourth Street has cracked walls.- Land- lord Mr. Lorcella. Mr. George Douglas of 155 So. 8th Avenue has had cracks in his walls for over two years and the entrance leading to the roof has no door - Landlord Perillo. These types of conditions are common to Black people and other poor and oppressed people. Black people, have over 400 years of experience in these oppressive conditions. The true decadence of this country (Babylon) and its ex- ploiting capitalist system has been revealing itself for too long now, The time has come to bring about an abrupt halt to all of this oppres- sion and modern day colonization. We, as Black people, must take that certain step forward, and de- liver a political consequence. We must not only tell but, we must demand that these greedy slum- lords turn their apartments into cooperatives ard give the land back to the people of our Black community, or the next time he steps foot in the Black community it’s going to be either, or, Point #4 of the Ten Point Platform and Program of the Black Panther Party. It clearly states that: ‘‘We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings. We be- lieve that if the White landlords will not give decent housing to our Black community, then the housing should be made into co~ operatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people."’ We believe that the people have a right to the best of whatever human technology can produce. SEIZE THE. TIME FREE BOBBY Black Community Information Cen, Mount Vernon Branch Sharon Lewis BLACKS SUFFER BECAUSE OF PIGS NEGLECT As we all have finally realized by now the oppressed have no rights which the oppressor is bound to re- spect. At approximately 4:00 a.m, on May 29, 1970 the above state- ment was proven as it has been proven over and over again for 400 years. On Downey street there was a three alarm fire at the pad of Mrs Viola Stanley who lives on 206 Downey street, From the infor- mation which I gathered from the Sister Stanley and other tenants of the building, I came to the conclu- sion that the fire could have been prevented had the avaricious land- lord ( whose name the tenants don't even know) had the rotted wiresin the house heen repaired, The house was totally destroyed by the time the firemen had ar- rived on the scene ( about 30 minutes later) , The unwillingness of the pig firemen to arrive on the scene at the usual time (which is approximately 1 to 4 minutes) cost ‘two families their home and al- most their lives. The failure ofthe pig landlord to repair the faulty wiring goes to show that the avaricious businessmen and land- lords have no concern for the wel- fare of the people. Therefore we say it is time for a change. It is time to put the first last and the last first. Point number 4 of the Black Panther Party Platform and Program states that : ‘‘We want decent housing fit for shelter of hu- man beings’. And if this means barbecuing every pig in Babylon, then I say lets get on our jobs and start the fire of liberation, COUNTER ATTACK ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE San Francisco Branch Community Worker PIGS RUN AMUCK IN ATLANTA BUS STATION On Wednesday, June 3rd, there was a shoot-out in the Atlanta Bus Station which left one pig dead, one brother dead, and one brother wounded, and charged with murder, robbery, carrying a pistol without a license and carrying a concealed weapon. There are conflicting stories a- bout what prompted Wednesday morning’s action, These stories ranged from the premise that the pig accosted the brothers con- cerning a street robbery, to the premise that the brothers were being harassed because they at- tempted to educate Black soldiers to the fact that they had no busi- ness in Uncle Sam's Army (I'm inclined to believe the latter). At any rate the now dead pig told one of the brothers to put his hands up on the lockers (apparently for a search) at which time the brother asked, ‘‘What for?’’ and drew his weapon and proceeded to deal the death blow to the pig, The pig, being mortally wounded, returned the fire, kill- ing one brother and wounding the other. Subsequently, many more storm troopers arrived on the scene and proceeded to shoot up the bus station which was filled with many Colonized Africans. Many of our people, who were not at all involved were severely beaten and jailed. They were de- nied medical attention for some time and when they did receive it they were again beaten in the hospital. It is very interesting to note that none of these people, . with the exception of the Brother directly involved were charged with as much as spitting on the street. It is clear to us that this hap- pened because the Atlanta Police Department operates under the age-old ideology of ‘‘No Black man has any rights that a White boy is bound to respect."

Freedom or Death] ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Georgia Black Liberation Front Dave Simpson RACIST SLUMLORDS OF WINSTON SALEM | Inthe month of January 1970, the landlords of Winston-Salem inthe Colony Place area of the city which starts at 9th and Cleveland and Highland Avenue and extends to 12 1/2 on the East side of town, sent notices to alltenants in Colony Place concerning the increase in rent. The apartments arealready renting for $75.00 and $80.00 for one and two bedroomsrespectively, The apartmentsare notreally worth $40.00 a month so we see that Perrell Realtors arenothing but capitalists, with ideas of making profits for the best interests of themselves and not for the better- ment of the condition of the people that pays them rent. We're saying that until Perrell Realtors lowers the ridiculous prices and cleans up these rat infested houses, foul electricity and plumbing fixtures, we'll pay him exactly what hedeservesand that is--NOTHING, The laws were broken when you rented the apart- ments which were built in less than amonth’s time, and going up on rents before the loan was paid off. So we see youasa lawbreaker, What we say to. that is, ‘the COLONY PLACE oppressor has no rights whichthe oppressed are bound to respect.’ If the landlords don't supply the people with decent housing, with fair rents, then we Say that the housing and the landshould be made into cooperatives, so that the community with aid from the government, can build decent hous- ing for the people This is just one of the basic necessities of lifewhich we have a rightto. We see you as denying the people of that right, you're nothing but a bloodsucking beast and the tenants of Colony Place are tired oftheir blood being sucked by such aninhuman beast. The only blood that will be sac- rificed will be the blood of your neck and all other beasts like you. We Will no longer sit back and do nothing while you raise the rent against the people's wilt, Thehouse should be in the hands of the people, because that's who they belong to. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Winston-Salem, Rice N.C CF THE BLACK PANTHER, WE WILL RUN THE CAPITALIST OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES note; Due to the excessive lies that have been spread by the ra- cist mass media about the boy- cott of the A & P stores in Win- ston-Salem, North Carolina, the National Committee to Combat Fascism conceives it to be our duty to get the correct informa- tion out to the people about the boycott of the A & P stores in Winston - Salem. ‘The National Committee to Combat Fascism a- long with all the beautiful peo- ple from the Black community who are participating in the boycott are asking people of Winston- Salem and people throughout this racist country of Babylon to net to shop at any A & P stores until the just demands of the people are met. In November of 1969, Mrs. Af- ford received severe injuries to her hand while shopping at the A & P store on Bowen Boulevard, On this particular day there was one of the usual jive-time sales on jelly in a large barrel. Mrs. Afford simply reached down into the barrel.to..pick .out..a jar of jelly and received a very badly cut hand from broken up jelly jars hidden in the barrel. Mrs. \fford has-been out of work from November 1969 to this present day, June 8. The A & P manage- ment refused to compensate Mrs. Afford one dime for their negli- gence of responsibility, Mrs. Af- ford decided to take her case to the courts, but as we well know, the courts are non-functional for Black people because niggers have no rights that racist cracker courts are bound to respect. The case was simply thrown out of the courts, Also, Mrs. Joyce Henderson who was formally a cashier at the A & P on Bowen Blvd. was transferred out of the Black community to the A & P store in the White’com- munity, mainly .because~she-re- fused_to-exploit-her_ people and be _munity. programs.as Free-Break= a-showease_nigger-for-the-A-&-P——fast for Children Program and management, Also Mrs, Henderson couldn’t get along with the White racist manager (she would not be a lackey for him), and as a re- sult she was told that one of them had to go and so this Black woman was transferred out of her com- munity, The people of the Black community are demanding that Mrs. Henderson be transferred back to A & P on Bowen Blvd and given her previous position of cashier. The Black community is also de- manding; That a Black manager be hired“immediately to manage the A & P store on Bowen Blvd, This manager must be accepted by the Black community. — 2 That A& Pmakeacceptable con- tributions to. such needed..com- BLACK PEOPLE OF Free Lunch.

So several people of the community along with the N.C,C.F, decided to go behind closed doors and figure out how we were going to deal with these capitalists and we came up with avery intelligent de- — a munity be placed atsuchaleyelthat cision and that decision was based thie Black community from the 11th Street Bottoms to the Norwood estates can afford, and that the very best of..foods..be placed-in the stores in the Black community. Recognizing that A & P stores make millions off the Black com- munity weekly the National Com- mittee to Combat Fascism and the people of the community feel that these are very modest de- mands that we make, Most of the demands have been presented to TOO WRONG FOR TOO LONG Lackeys, bootlickers, so-called leaders of the Black community are nothing more than endorsed spokesmen. They are jack-n-ape Parrots that say only what the oppressors have programmed them to say, The endorsed spokes- men are just as deadly as the oppressor and must be dealt with in the same manner. The endorsed spokesmen are treacherous, de- ceitful, and spineless dogs, as they are manipulated by the oppressor to teach their people to be fearful and cowardly when faced with the jive that the oppressor is meting out. Three such buffons are Carl Russel (Board of Aldermen Lewis Ray (attorney for legal aid so- ciety) and George Redd (on the pig force), These three fools acted against the will of the people and talked in a crazed manner to the people as they were dealing in a righteous manner to get the avaricious A & P store located in the Black community to meet the demands of the Black com- munity. As the people had gotten to- gether and were picketing this ca- pitalist exploiter of the commu- nity, along comes mad dog Rus- sell in his big black cadillac check- ing out the scene, He jumped up in a sister's face and oinked, ‘Y'all are silly."’ The sister said, ‘You are supposed to be OUR Al- derman,."? And the fool replied, “‘Why don't you run for Alder- man’’, as though anyone would want to be co-opted into such a deca- dent society. Then along comes Ray, who is also supposed to be a servant of the people. He goes into the store and buys a carton of drinks (Pepsi-Cola one of the biggest exploiters of the whole world), Upon leaving the people approached him explaining that they were attempting to show the A & P BOYCOTT avaricious dogs that own and op- erate A & P that they could not exploit Black people and continue to exist in the Black community. This running-dog, flunky of the po- wer structure stated ‘‘Y’all are being oppressed, I ain't being oppressed."" This is what is known as a spokesman for the Black com- munity -~- otherwise known as F-~)-O-L. And to this simpleton, the people say, you can continue to oink, we are no longer listen- ing to you, punk. And as no sur- prise to anyone, Redd comes up while off duty and says he in only gonna buy a few items, But when he leaves the store, it looks as though he was trying to make up to this capitalist, the money that BOOTLICKING ATTORNEY, R. LEWIS AT A & P had lost, when Black peo- ple refused to patronize his ex- ploitative enterprise. Despite the actions of these seabbie napes, the people's picket line was 95%, effective. But to those fools, who feel that they are not being oppressed, to those dum- mies who feel as though they are in some type of prestige position, to those school teachers that say that their feet hurt and they can’t go to another store because of their stinking feet, the people can only say--repudiate the op- pressor and crawl back to your people and earn aspeedy reprieve or face a merciless, speedy and most timely execution for treason and being too wrong for too long. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE DOWN WITH FLUNKE YISM Winston-Salem, N,C,.C.F, Nelson Malloy on the idea that when people's demands are ignored, as if the people have no right to demand, then it’s time to use our power to disrupt--the power to throw 4 nigger wrench into the capitalist machinery. So early Saturday morning people from the com- munity and members of the N.C.C.F, got together and made signs that were going to be used for the boycott. It was really beau- tiful to see the people turn around THE SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE '3 and refuse to shop atthe A & P store. Several people of the com- munity brought their cars to help take people shopping to other stores in the community. Several people of the community who had orignially come to shop at the A & P but saw what was happen- ing not only decided to turnaround but also went home and prepared sandwiches and drinks for the com- munity troops participating in the boycott, The spirit of the people was really something beautiful to behold. The boycott was near per- fect but as always you will have a few bootlicking fools. But these bootlicking niggers small-time trade was not enough to offset the nearly $8,000 worth of trade that A & P_ lost that day, These niggers provedthemselves tobe NOT leaders (they were supposed community leaders) of the people to freedom but bought off store- front, backwater jerks, While it was the brothers (the lumpen, the bad bloods from the bottoms) that did honor the people's picket line and did not shop in the store that proved to be truly committed to the people’s struggle. The masses of the people honored the boycott and to the people who par- ticipated in the boycott this proves without a shadow of a doubt that the demands are righteous, So the question is now posed clear and simple to the A & P management and that is the question of EITHER/ OR - Either you make the A & P relevant to the needs of the Black community or GET OUT, **We want an endto the robbery by the capitalist of our Black com- munity.” SEIZE THE TIME ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Winston-Salem, N.C.C.F.

(This is the same R, J. Reynold’s Tobacco Co,, Winston-Salem, NC company that makes metals for bombers and tanks and tools of war), Number one of our Ten Point Platform and Program statesthat; “‘We want freedom, we want the power to determine the destinies of our own Black community,’’A point expressing the desires to all Black people caught up here in the midst of America to be able enjoy the best that human techno- logy has to offer, for ourselves and our loved ones, Here in Winston Salem, as well as in all of Babylon we still find ourselves in the unique position where we are always the last to be hired and the first to be fired. The very nature of capitalism is where big businessmen (in this case R,J. Reynolds) are paying the lowest possible wages so that they make the highest possible profit. We slave endless hours for R.J. Reynolds yet are still forced on many occasions to work two jobs to support our families anddepen- dents while R.J.

This time we intend to pull them off and expose your germs to the people, As the people of Browns- ville and East New York know, Hoffman and Gold are your lo- cal slumlords, Together these two pigs of Brownsville and East on their own with no heat or hot water, In a number of cases peo- ples windows were still broken from the summertime. In most cases, people have holes in their walls and that presents an im- mediate danger to the young child- ren who might or have eaten the plaster that falls out of the holes, Let me tell you about a build- ing. 28 Legion street, Between Suicidal death trap or people’s park! New York--- every month rob over a million dollars from the people in the disguise of rent, and nothing in return, Nothing, notone red cent do they spend in your behalf. The people of Brownsville were left to face the murderous winter Sutter and Pinkins Avenue. This building is leaning so far over to the streets that it can collaspe at any time, Plus every other apart- ment in this building is burnt out. So one can imagine the con- ditions and the hell that the oc- cupants next to these burnt out apartments, are going through, Two years ago a sister on Amboy street between Sutter and Blake reported a window broken in her children’s bedroom, it has not been fixed yet. People don’t want to live like this but they are led to believe, by Hoffman and Gold, that nothing can be done. Talking to these two greedy hogs, does nothing but encourage them to ask for more money. These two water bug fools float on the people’s misery. Therefore, it is the peo- ples duty to sink them right down to the bottom, The 4th point of our Ten Point Platform and Program states; We want decent housing fit for shel- ter of human beings. We believe that if the racist pig 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 (Brownsville, East NewYork, etc.)with govern- ment aid can build and make de- cent housing for its people, This is what Hoffman and his low lifed snake-in-the-grass buddy Goldy will have to relate to! Instead of paying rent to these two rats, uti- lize the money for our own behalf fixing up the houses. If Hoffman and Goldy come demanding, de- mand them to get the hell out of your community. Starve a rat ( Hoffman and Goldy) today! And if they go flying to the pigs like they always do, then the people will move on them too, Now. that Hoffman and Gold are exposed to the people may their heads roll down the same streets they rob. Babylon will have decenthousing if we have to rebuild them from the ashes of the people’s revo- lution, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Henry (Duck) McIntosh Brooklyn Branch Black Panther Party ACTIONS —— NOT NOTICES “We want decent housing fit for the shelter of human beings," About a week ago notices were posted on the apartments on Bruce St. (In the city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina), The supposed purpose of the notices was to in- form the residents that the hous- ing in which they have been living for years is unfit. The city fathers know who the people are that they should prose- cute, the people who put these houses. up for rent and refuse to repair them, (the slumlords), So as a measure of pacification, they have the housing inspectors post these notices to make the people think that the city had done its part. The truth of the matter is, they haven’t done their part, If the housing isu't fit for the habi- tation of human beings, then why doesn’t the city erect housing that is? And if they don't want to do that, they should make sure that the slumlords do so, The slumlord in this case is Balwin, This realty rents houses all over the city--unfit housing. It must be made clear that he is committing a crime. His crime is profiteering off of the suffering of our sisters and brothers who live in these houses, It is a crime to subject a child to rats, It is a crime to deprive a human being of a decent place to live, and then charge them excessive rents. Wheneverwe commit an act that the city labels as a crime, we are immediately arrested. Whenever a brother robs a store to feed his hungry children, the pigs will not only arrest him, but beat him, be- cause he wanted to feed his fam- ily. This basic necessity of food is denied to him because he has been denied the right to work and Alright then, based on produce, that brother for trying to gain a basic necessity to feed his chil- dren though. But what we are saying is to arrest Balwin for haying houses unfit for humans and for not fixing them. He is the criminal, but the city inspector THE PEOPLE DEMAND DECENT HOUSING The very fact that a person is born, automatically entitles that person to the right to live. It is therefore the function of all gov- erments and societie: to provide the basic necessities of life to sustain that life: food, clothing, and shelter. It is also the function of said government to make sure that the quality and the quantity of these basic necessities are the best that science and technology will allow. This all falls under the cat- gory of insuring that the people have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, a right which is given to the people by the Constitution of the United States. However, checking out the hous- ing scene here in Boston, one can see there is clear violation of the people’s rights, The Mission Hall Housing Project is probably the best example of the people being denied housing. The conditions un- der which the people of the Mission Hill Project are forced to live are unbearable. The apartments are full of roaches; and there is a daily struggle being waged between the tenants and the wall-to-wall roaches that occupy the apart- ments. The hallways are dampand extremely cold. The condition. of the hallway itself is an extreme health hazzard. The elevators are . non-functional. Themajority of the time the brothers and sisters are forced to walk up seven flights of stairs. The incinerator doors are broken off and the incinerators are non functional anyhow, To take one building in the Mis- Hill Project: the hallways reek with the scent of years and years of urine which has soaked into the walls and floors, The mailboxes are all either burnt out or broken period and the people have to pick up their mail at the post office, Many of the tenants have individ- ual complaints suchas broken win- dows, cracking plaster, inadequate or sub-standard electrical wiring and so on, All of which have been unattended to by the maintainance department, The basement is filled with garbage and accompanying rats. On ‘op of all this,people are forced to pay up to $150.00a month for housing there, It is quite obvious that this sit- uation need to be moved onas soon as possible, But How? We feel that if the landlords, or in this case the Boston Housing Authority, will not give decent housing, then the housing and land should be taken away from the landlords and turned into cooperatives so that the people themselves can use their own ini- tiativetobetter their own living con- ditions. All that isnecessaryisfor the people of Mission Hill and other housing projects, or for that matter all the people living in such con- ditions, to organize. The people themselves are created and our creative abilities are unlimited. Nothing more needs to be said than the fact that one possible course of action is massive rent strikes with the people using the money to fix up the housing in a cooperative effort with the other tenants in the building. Later for the Boston Housing Authority and the Boston Rede- velopment Authority, for they have shown through their practice that they do not care about the condi- tions that the poor Black people are forced to endure. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Ronald Tyson Boston Chapter Black Panther Party SUBSTANDARD HOUSING IN AMERICA. The poor oppressed Black peo- ple in racist America have been forced to live in substandard hous- ing, owned and operated by the greedy pig landlords. These greedy pigs exploit the people from every angle and at every turn, The masses of Black people that are forced to live in filthy, rat and roach infested houses are fed up with these conditions. All the peo- ple ask is to have decent housing conditions, but whenever the peo- ple demand this they are oinked at by the greedy landords who have no regard for human life. One such substandard apartment building is located in the colony of Harlem. 2094 Sth Avenue is one of the many illegal apartment dwellings. The people are forced to live in a seven story building which has an inoperable elevator. The building itself is in such bad condition thatit has been under consideration for condemnation. The mice and roaches run amuck throughout the entire building as if they also pay rent. There is sel- dom any hot running water. The sewage system inthe area has backed up into the sinks and tubs of several families in the building. PROMPT MAINTENANCE OF BANKRUP TCY The filth of the sewer sometimes FOR THE SLUM'.ORD, principles, which is more funda- mentally correct, a man who takes some from those who have plenty to feed his kids, or a man who keeps people in unfit houses with rats, leaking faucets(sometimes no faucets at all), roaches and high rents so that he (the slumlord) can live in luxury? Which is more important--a childeating,or aman being able to own billions. Who is the real criminal? Now who does the city arrest and take to jail, and beat? Cer- tainly not Balwin, he would arrest won’t- have him arrested, Until he (Galwin) is arrested we don't want him putting up notices tell- ing us what we knew all the time, the houses aren’t any good, we know that crap, Tell us what you are go- ing to do about it and then do it.

The lighting fixtures are a def- inite fire hazard, The garbage goes uncollected for days at a time, causing it to overflow in the halls and in the street, Several times city housing of- ficials have been to the buildinz with ‘‘check sheets"’, making emp- ty promises of repairs to the tenants, This has occurred several times in the past few months and nothing has been done yet. Mr. William Jones and his family live, (if you can call it living) on the seventh floor. They seldom have hot running water, the sewer has backed up into their bathroom fa- cilities several times in the past few months, The kitchen floor con- sists of rotten wood, which the mice and roaches use as a play- ground, In the winter the heat was practically absent.

Any doubts that I may harbored about being enslaved by the system were erased when I was commanded by subpoena to appear before the grand jury. How does one command a free man? I first sensed the impropri- ety of the investigation when I arrived at the federal building in San Francisco and was asked to wait in a private office before tes- tifying.1 assure youthat this was done to keep me from seeing or speak- ing to others who had been sub- poenaed, I was commanded to appear at 10;00 a.m., but it was not until 12;00 noon that I was escorted to the grand jury room. I was taken by way of a rather circuitous route, through hallways and up enclosed stairways. I suppose that this was done to pre- vent me from seeing or speaking to the witnesses who appeared just appear prior to me. Even though [was not represent- ed by counsel, one of the lawyers who was conducting the investiga- tion used an antagonistic and Slaated form of interrogation. I am aware of the adversary system utilized hy the courts, but I still think it is unfortunate that the lawyers who are attached to the Justice Department are more con- cerned with indicting than with seeking truth and justice. Although the stated purpose of the investigation was to examine matters concerning the newspaper, most of the questions that were asked were asked about the phi- losophies~ atid financing of the Black Panther Party. The phi- losophy aad purpose of the Black Panther Party are published in every issue of the Black Panther newspaper as a ten point plat- form and program. The idea of the government paying 15 people $20.00 a day to sit on a grand jury ( in addition to the $20.00 a day paid each witness ) and hear tax paid lawyers ask questions that are answered in a 25 cents newspaper did not sit well with me as a taxpayer, As a volunteer worker on the Black Pantier Party newspaper, I was not interested in the financial functions of either the newspaper or the Party, and therefore re- mained ignorant of the subject But as a taxpayer I am interes- ted in government spending, and I would like to know how much of the taxpayers money the govern- ment has spent investigating and trying to supress the Black Panther newspaper. During approximately 3 months tenure as managing editor of the Black Panther newspaper, I gained no knowledge of any illegal acti- vities directed by the Black Pan- ther Party or its newspaper. 1 had hoped that the press would cover the grand jury investigation and report this fact but evidently the press was excluded from the hearing. It appears that the free * Pee = press has no more freedom than I, We are both subject to the same system. In summary it appears that the government is paying taxpayers Money to suppress a right that is guaranteed by the constitution (the first amendment grants free- dom to the press, ), and it is do- ing so in secrecy that is prompt- ed by political expediency with fascist intentions. There was no mass protest when America intervened in the affairs of the Black Congolese government; thus escalation in Vietnam and Cambodia, There was no mass student movement to ob- ject the state troopers killing 4 and wounding 52 Black students in Orangeburg, South Carolina; thus Kent State. Now a. newspaper that expresses the ideas and opinions of many Black people is being repressed, and if the mass media doesn't act to prevent this repression, a precedent will be established, and a constitutional right may be lost. First the Black Panther newspaper, then any news- Paper that criticizes the status quo. (Witness the attack of Spiro Agnew and Lester Maddox against the press.) When you defend the rights of others, you protect the rights which are yours, In the words of Martin Luther King “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’’, Sincerely, Frank Jones FREE CLOTHING PROGRAM IN BALTIMORE, SMASHES THE VICIOUS CIRCLE On Monday, June 1, 1970) the people's free clothing proyram w jnitated in South Baltimore. ‘The program was operated out of the newly opened John Hugsins Bunchy Carter Information Center at 933 S. Sharp street, The program is set up on ahas- is to clearly serve the people of the oppressed community and surrounding communities, Seeing how clearly the demago- vic politicians have neglected the basic needsof the people, giving avaricious — Slumlords and store owners « free open hand in the vicious circle of exploitation that our neople are forced into, the people’ Ss Free Clothiny Program comes forward hammering an: exit wider and eventually sijashing the vicious circle completely. By opening these programs the people will have an opportunity to participate in socialist practice as it is relevant to our people. The clothing program itself went over yery well amongst the people in the community. In a very short time an estimated 250 pieces of clothing was given out to the people of the community. We see this program as being beneficial to the people of our oppressed communities and as Jong as the people's just demands for decent clothing goes unhear@ and ignored, the Black Panther Party will co forward to hear and meet this just and reasonable de~ mand in an atmosphere of com- plete servitude towards the people with our every thought and muscle fiber to satisfy this demand, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE DEATH TO THE PIGS WE DRAW THE LINE AT THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR COMMUNITY For quite a while now, fools from the Progressive Labor Party (P.L.) have been passing out leaf- lets and selling their literature in Dudley station here in Roxbury. A quick analysisof the situation will show why this is a dangerous con- dition and why we must move to deal with PL, Black and White people in this country are caught up into two completely different realities be- cause of the different “conditions under which we are forced to live. To put it more simply, Black people fight out of necessity because of the fascistmove by the government to eliminate niggers. Birth control, detention camps, dope, and all of the other programs that the government is trying to provide for Black people are di- rected at genocide of the Black masses, Anyone who doubts this truth need only remember about the American Indian, one will quickly come to realize that the American forces have no hangups when it comes to genocide. Mean- while, the White struggle is one for individual freedom and other assorted desires. The White work- ing class is rapidly becoming fasicst by the lies and propagan- da of the Nixon-Agnew-Mitchell regime, and this can be seen in the right wing terror attacks by the construction workers against anti-war protestors in New York, City, and the generally backwards, racist and reactionary attitudes of White workers all across the coun- try. Eldridge explains that labour unions, collective bargaining, the union shop, social security, three week vacations,and other benefits have castrated the working class and made workers very unrevo- lutionary. So if we analyze this situation, Black people must be the vanguard ofthe revolutionary struggle in America because we are the most oppressed, the most exploited and the most revolution- ary element in American society, Therefore it is necessary for Black people to develop an ideology that is based on our experiences in this country; an ideology that will lead us out of the present position, We cannot dependon any- one to develop our ideology for us or help us to implement our ideo- logy, because-that was the mistake that was made in the past, and we have paid dearly for that mis- take. We waited for the courts to pass .legislation. and give us our human rights, and the same courts turned around and made it legal to chain and gag niggers in the courtroom, We cannot and must not depend on the Chinese to send us AK-47’s or for our brothers and sisters in Africa to send us help because they are also trying desperately to deal off the same enemy that we are dealing with, So if you want something done, you have to do it yourself, However, there are those who feel it is necessary to tell us how to wage our struggle and how to combat the pigs. The Progres- sive Labor sees fit to come into the Black community spouting madness about individual ter- roism and how it is incorrect to off the pig because Black people and the workers are not ready for that, They claim thatthe Ten Point Platform and Program of the Black Panther Party is reformist and revisionist, meaning that it does not relate to the basic needs and desires of Black people. Anyone who reads the Ten Point Patform and Program and feels that it doesn’t relate to the people's needs and desires is a fool, and anyone who would literally tell Black people not to defend them- selves and to put down our guns is a pig himself. The Pro- gressive Labor Party has attacked the leadership of the Black Panther Party by saying that we are re- formist, racist, cultural nation- alists or any other jive insanity that they can ‘think of. The only possible reply to such a statement is to ask of P,L, where are their Fred Hamptons, Mark Clarks Bobby Huttons, Jake Winters, Bun- chy Carters, and to go further where are their Malcolm X's and others, If the Progressive Labor Party has the correct line and is really educating the people, where are their Huey P. Newton’s, Bobby Seale’s Ahmed Evans, New York 21's, L.A, 18, and Baltimore 10's The Progressive Labor comes in- to the Black community with their madness, insane politics and ex- pects Black people to allow this to go on without lifting a hand against them. It is about time that we stopped fighting and dying for everyone else’s cause and every one’s belief except our own. We bled and died in Germany, we died in the Pacific, we died in Korea and we are dying in Southeast Asia for the fascist, and now a bunch of racist fools want to have us die for their stupidity. Niggers diedin Orangeburg, Jackson, Augusta, Cairo and countless other places; they died because of American racism and fascism, but they died for Black people, they died to awaken Black people. Are the same fools from Progressive Labor, who are willing to send Black people out to do their fight- ing, also willing to do their dying? The only way in which we can deal with such fools is to runthem out of our community by any means necessary because they are in our community only to confuse and harm the interest of our brothers and sisters. The Vietnamese have a saying,‘‘If the enemy refuses to get out annihilate him, ‘’ and we the people of the Black community have a saying: ‘‘If the Progressive Labor Party or any other fools come into the community spouting madness, run them out by any means necessary’, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE COUNTER ATTACK Ronald Tyson Boston Chapter Black Panther Party THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY. JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE PIGS CAUGHT RED HANDED USING BRUTE FORCE AGAINST THE On a bitter cold day in late March, the body of William Smith, a familiar face in the Brownsville community, was discovered a short distance from the office, His body was found amond the debris of broken glass and discarded brick in an abandoned lot--he was lying face down, The pigs on 73rd pig pen arrived at this deplorable scene, gloating over the twisted, beaten body of this 29 year old Black man, displaying the every disgusting nature of the beast as they repeatedly kicked and shoved the half-frozen body to ascertain if he was indeed lifeless. The smiling, jeering, cold faces of these racist pigs served to be little comfort to William's wife and his small children who sur- vive him. The lab technicians who arrived, a few hours later, con- ducted their ‘‘investigation’’ a- midst joke-telling and horseplay. \ satisfactory report onthe cause of death has of yet to reach the the concerned members of Brownsville community. ag Pu —_— i Playground for the children of Brownsville, While the stain of blood was still _ fresh in the community, the pigs of Brownsville were dipping their hands in more ‘Black Blood’, Milton Greene, as much a fixture of the ruins of Brownsville as the rat-invested lots and decaying apartment buildings, is a frequent patient in the People’s Free Health Clinic. The brother suffers from. uncontrollable epileptic seizures which at times causes him total black outs. Recently Milton had such a seizure early in the morn- ing on a deserted street in Browns- ville. He was found sometime later by a member of the Black Panther Party, Milton's head was gashed open by his sudden collapse and blood flowed freely from his head while his body underwent rythmic spasms, The emergency number for am'ulance service was called, an hour later it arrived on the scene--after Milton had lost acon- siderable amount of blood. The next day Milton was seen onthe streets again--he had been given a bandage + and an asperin at the hospital-- a week later after his release from the hospital Milton had another seizure--gashing his head in the same spot--he received stitches and released the same day, It is not an uncommon occur- rence in Bowsville or any Black colony to hear of police brutality and outright cold-blooded murder of our people,..women and children as well as our men. Whatis startl- ing is the fact that these atroci- ties are beginning to take place in daylight, \ few weeks ago an inci- dent was reported to the Panther Ofsice concerning outright murder and fascist brutality of a Black man in our community, Jimmy the Rag was a harmless, friendly old inan--some would call him the community ‘‘wino’’--I call him a lumpen, a member of the ‘‘Amer- ica ain't no big thing'’ society, Jimmy was well known through- PEOPLE OF out the entire community, from street corner to street corner, and especially at Kings County Hospi- tal where he was frequently ad- mitted because of his badly da- maged nerve system (caused by heavy drinking), Jimmy the Rag frequently got the ‘‘shakes’’ and it would sometimes cause him to walk very slow and unsteady, Most of the times it took him nearly five minutes to cross the street. What possible harm could this poor man do?,,.0n May 14th, Jimmy the Rag, the beloved vagabond, was murdered in cold blood by ara- cist, fascist pig from the 6lst pen pen. This fool, banana eating gorilla alleged that Jimmy the Rag tried to ‘‘escape’’ after being told to “‘halt’’ to be questioned on his “suspicious” behavior. Jimmy was shot SIX TIMES and laid on the ground writhering in pain while this fascist pig RELOADED HIS GUN AND FIRED FOUR MORE ROUNDS INTO THE ALREADY NEARLY-DEAD BODY! Justifiable Homicide or Cold Blooded Daylight Murder? Daylight muder in the Black community. Leaflets were sent out throughout the community informing the people the circum- stances involving Jimmy's death, The next day after Jimmy's death concerned members of the com- munity along with Jimmy’s 20year old son, and members of the Black Panther Party marched onthe 61st pig pen to demand that justice be bought to the murderous cri- minal only to find out that the beast had been quietly transferred to another pen on the other side of Brooklyn.

The most recent open terrorist act carried out by the mad-dog fascist pigs is their vicious at- tack on sister Thelma Minter of NEW YORK East New York. On June 3rd, Thelma was sitting on her front porch at.693 Linwood with a few adult members of her family. Her 12 year old son Johnny and her young nephew, five year old Pa- trick were playing with a few . friends out in front of their house, There are no play areas in Brownsville and the children were engaged in street play--ghetto games--when an unmarked car rounded the corner and proceeded up the block to where the chil- dren were playing. As the car approached the front of the Min- ter house a rock, thrown accident- ly by one of the children, hit the car, only scarring it slightly. The driver of the car rushed out of the car like a wild boar--not even bothering to park his precious ve- hicle, Blinded by rage at the face that some Black child would dare dent his white-owned-white-in white automobile this mad-dog ra- cist punched on Johnny Minter-- viciously choking him around his neck, This foold did no investi- gation as to who actually threw the rock and whether or ot it was intentional -- he just arbi- trarily grabbed any Black young- ster and irrationally started chok- ing and beating him. Mrs. Minter, who by this time had left her front porch and was on her way to de- fend her child (the wrath of an angered mother), was greeted with oinks sounding something like-- “this Black b-----d hit my car-- I should beat his Black brains in,”’ Mrs. Minter told him not to call her son a ‘‘Black b-----d'’ and the racist beast turned and at- tacked her--calling her a ‘‘Black b---h’’, This pig’s mad-dog at- tack upon his mother sent John- ny and his cousin Flora Nelson, to her defense, It turned out that this punk was an off-duty patrol- man and with a flick of a switch the entire block was swarming with occupying forces from the 73rd pig pen. Mrs. Minter was arrested for (1) inciting a riot - (@ crowd of people off the block came to see what was going on) (2) resisting arrest (self-defense) (8) obstructing governmental pro- cedure (defending her son from police brutality), While Mrs. Thel- ma Minter and her 12 year old son were being thrown into sepa- rate pig cars, Flora Nelson (Mrs. Minter’s niece) was being brutally beaten by the racist pigs of 73rd pig pen. Once down at the pen and after a thorough investiga- tion was complete it was dis- covered that Johnny’s five year old cousin, Patrick, had accidently thrown the infamous rock, not in- tending to hit the car at all, How- oe — —— SS > a a == a — = ae Se eS com one a ee os, ag _ ii — ever Mrs. Minter was subjected to insults and inhumane treatment while her son Johnny was threa- tened by “‘super-pigs’’ who pro- mised to beat him if they saw TO PARENTS—WHOSE CHILDREN ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN NATIONAL SALVATION Since the inception of the Black Panther Party in 1966, young peo- ple (19 and under) have been the workers and driving force of the people’s just struggle for libera- tion. Our youth historically have been the activists from the early days of our struggle, they have been the first ones on the picket lines, the first ones to demon- strate, the first ones to bring up their grievances, the first ones to say ‘That's not right’. They have gotten up at 5:30 a.m. to feed hun- gry children, they have been the teachers in the liberation schools, they have also been the leaders when the struggle reached the level of taking to the streets in Watts, Detroit and Newark, We must pro- tect our youth, our leaders of the people’s struggle at all costs. For their participation in the’struggle, they have been thrown in jail, beat up, vicious police dogs put on them, high pressure water ho- ses turned on them and murdered as was the case of Li'l Bobby Hutton, They are even attacked in their homes by their parets. They have been thrown out of their homes, they have been cursed by their parents and labelled as trou- blemakers, disrespectful and just plain bad, When you begin to talk in dero- gatory terms about young people, we ask you remember this--the pigs are not arresting us inSouth- east Asia, thy are not shooting up projects and killing Black wo- men and babies in Vietnam and Cambodia, they are not blowing up innocent Black childreninother parts of the world, they are com- mitting these atrocities here in Babylon, right here in the Black community. Mothers and fathers you have listened to the T,V., the radio and you have read the newspapers, but you have not listened to your children run down the 10-Point Platform and Program. You have not walked out of your doors to the Free Breakfast for School Chil- dren centers, to see what your children are trying to do. Don't listen to the tool, press of the power structure, come and find out for youself, and when you see the tremendous war machine tha is working against the beau- tiful work your chidren are trying to do, you will be very glad to stand up and take an active part. Don’t sneak into corners when your children shout ‘‘All Power to the People’’. Don't hide your face and put them off with empty rhetoric when they ask you to help initiate socialistic programs that will accomodate all poor people. Support our youth in the strug- gle, which is in fact, your strug- gle. For you parents that are for- ever saying ‘I’m going to pray for that child’’--remember that prayer is good--but if Fred Hamp- ton was murdered while he slept, in his own bed, just think what can happen to you, while you are on your knees, facing that bed, Lis- ten to the youth and follow their righeous examples, because the youth is our salvation.

SO DRAWI BLACK PANTHER PARTY Brooklyn Branch Diahnne Jenkins THE BLACK PANTHER, ON ILLEGITIMATE CAPITALIST ‘THE GAME’ As defined in the “raw’’ by Papa- -those who live by their wits, existing off what they rip off and polished to such a high degree by Huey calling it ‘legitimate Ca- Ppitalism’’ or those who execute it, ‘Illegitimate Capitalists’’. Historically speaking ‘‘Game"’ r ‘‘The Game’? has always been present, and always existed in the Black community. It originates from hardship or oppression for those who can dig that. Here we find people who are struggling for everyday life, bare necessities such as-food, clothing, and shel- ter, Here we have people that will do anything to make it. Here we have people with some of the strongest and some of the most beautiful creative talents and abil- ites. Here we have creative powers of the people. These creative talents have been refined in the forms of boosting, erap-shooting, till-tapping, the drag game, the elite craftsmanship of making I,D, counterfeiting, bur- glar, whoring, pimping and who knows what else. ‘‘It’s only to the depth of oppression or hardship that one knows how much game he or she may possess or be able to execute.” Now to deal with the word exe- cute, Execute means to do and do right. It’s apractitioner’s word, and that’s just what they are, “*The illegitimate capitalists’’ and these ‘slick niggers’ as they're commonly called, ‘‘practition- ers’’, The key to success in this field is flexibility--being able to bend in more than one direction, being able to adjust wherever you are no matter what the conditions. This is the key to keep a person from becoming ‘‘stagnant’’, This is the thing that makes a person start thinking about struggling to- gether or collectively, this is the guiding line that keeps ‘The Game”’ just what it is. A method of survival and not a symbol of oppression as ‘The Game’’ is ex- ecuted today. This word ‘‘flexibility’’ is a cold-blooded thing, Check this, 1 say, “‘It's the thing that makes a nigger not think about the mon- Sters that are in the driver’s- seat so much, but it’s the same thing that causes one to trip out or up, on the thing that’s growing from second to second and gain- ing strength with every step that's THREE taken and thinking very hard about becoming a functional part of it (the strnggle), Flexibility is a prin- ciple that’s practiced by the sharp macks and whores, Did you hear me? I say it is aprinciple prac- ticed by the *‘sharp macks’’ and “‘whores’’, That's right, princi- AL CARROLL ples, ‘‘The man’’. The man that solves all problems and resolves all contradictions when practiced. To be or not to be, being able to advance along with ‘*The Game’”’.”’ And yes, there are principles in the game. When the right amount of respect is given to any man, woman or child or to a people you will always find the means to get along not far away, The principles practiced among people that’s in ‘The Life’’ as “The Game’’ is sometimes called, enables them to advance and in the process principles forces a turn-out, a ‘‘revolutionary’’. How Slick is that? Huey P, Newton said it, Huey said, “By instill- ing a revolt: super=masculine menial's body you have on hand the making of the new man.” It works both ways, thé Same thing applies for the self-reliant amazons, Not relating to principles in “The Game" causes one to be- come stagnant. It causes one not to grow because stagnation is the death of flexibility, (just plain wil- fully refusing to change), It causes one to get hung up so madly in what they are doing until it be- comes a way of life and not seek- ing a solution to solve the pro- blem. It causes one to think very selfishly and take that lonely road of an individual, you know, going through life trying to act like everything is swell on the home- front and inside about to burst, It causes people to think that if the pigs wouldn't mess with those bloods that what they were doing would be primary andevery- thing else secondary. That’s the bloods that don’t re- late to principles, dig. I know that for a factthat it's plenty ‘‘macks’’ and plenty ‘‘whores"’ who have a belly full of these pigs and this way of life and want to do some- thing about it. Not being able to adjust or be flexible ani stric'*y relate to ‘‘The Game”’ wholeheartedly causes one to be very subjective or one-sided only thinking of I, me, and my. No regards for others. It causes one to be very envious of ano- ther for such small and petty rea- sons simply because one fails to face and accept reality, you know just the way it is, if you don't have it you: just don’t have it, and one will have to take it on his own to get whatever is missing. All in all ‘‘stagnation’’ is a cold- blooded stubborn and selfish hang- up and we must all guard against this, In some cases or instances it causes one to think that they are really moving and off into some- thing and low and behold you find out that they aren't off into any- thing. They have been deceived because objectively dealing with that and coming up with a de- cision you find that the things going on are repetitions and ac- tually speaking whatever it is that they’re doing will never develop to another level unless they be- come flexible. When we speak of ‘The Game’’ or ‘*The Life” whichever one pre- fers to use we find that historical- ly “‘pimps’’ have always been and still is one of the largest pro- fessions practiced by bloods in the Black community, Historically speaking pimps played a major role in the colony during depres- sion and when times were really hard, Here is a person (some am talking about that related to principles of (helping one ano- ther) and not just the ‘‘Gaming’ part of it, ‘‘Trying to turn-out because a person needs’’, Here is a symbol that’s been adapted by the majority of niggers that haven't discovered themselves yet. Here is a symbol that is related to in the colony whole-heartedly all of the niggers are radically talking the same talk, trying to get paid, trying to have money, the dress is patterned after the pimps, this even goes for the nig- gers that have‘square jobs’ work- ing, punching time clocks, They're identifying with the pimp, looking for a way out to keep from paying the price, One of the mainreasons so many brothers relate so heavily to this type of identity is that they feel this is the highest way of show- ing or reaching their manhood by turning-out their woman or some sister to ‘‘The Life’’ which is a thing that is highly regarded and which is a thing that puzzles those who are standing on the outside and looking in asking themselves how could he relate to her after all the things she is off into and doing. In their deeds and actions 1 would term it as a language that's spoken that only the *‘lum- pen”’ can understand andrelateto. Historically in the Black colony and among Black people if asister dug on a brother whatever the bro- ther’s means of survival were if that particular sister wanted to continue her relationship with this brother then she would have to go through a process of getting down with whatever the blood was doing. In other. words she had to get this blood’s particular type of theory so she could start im- plementing it or putting it into practice. This process is called “Turning-Out” or “*Turn-Out"’, a change from the old to the new way of survival. Projecting this particular image and putting this type of theory into practice will enable the both to survive and might disagree, mainly the sisters) without a doubt be classified by the but here is a person that had what a lot of people didn't have. Pimps and whores have always been of some constructive help or use in the colony. I've known them to buy groceries for mo- thers and ther children, shoes Cas) etc. These or this is ss “‘sharp-macks"’ and ‘‘whores’’ “Jumpen’”’ as man and woman, gentleman and lady--pimp and whore. Both people involved know that to try and make it in the system is dead and that there is no rea- son to suffer and do without when all you have to do is use what you got to get what you need. LUMPEN BROTHERS SHOT IN P OF TAKING WHAT WAS LEGALLY TH Sunday the Mth of June.1970-be- tween _12:00..and.1:00..pm.at.3rd and Armstrong, three brothers were shot in the process of taking what was legally and rightfully theirs, The brothers were Richard Taylor, Lloyd Mathews and Har- old Adams, The brothers were rip- Ping off the 76 Service Station at 3rd and Armstrong when it all happened. The murderous dog or dogs that were doing the shoot- ing shot Lloyd twice, Richard three times, and Harold twice. It was cold blooded murder on the set hecause information that was gathered shows or says that if one service station attendant, mind you, could hit three niggers at least one or more times, then without a doubt the people know that he is a “‘pig’’. He is a pig worker that protects the interest of the Rockefellers in the Black colony, Standard Oil runs the game of life down on the oppressed mas- ses of people on the international set, and in the Black colony at home, a racist pig attendant cold- bloodedly guns down 3 Black bro- thers to defend that same jll- gotten oil. This same pig was supposed to have been shot with a .22 caliber rifle or handgun and beaten. Too bad the brothers weren't hip to the articles written by the People's Field Marshal, because they would have dealt with the situation in a much more fashionable and desired manner, We would like for you pigs to know that the people in the com- munity know that these brothers aren't criminals, it's you pigs. It’s you pigs, you demagogic (lying) politicians and you greedy businessmen that’s the criminals because you are where you are. We know that you've performed savage acts of murder on all fronts against the people to be in the colony anyway, So any act of vio- lence cast upon you and your pri- vate-property is Right-On. It's the people’s duty to attack and de- stroy any symbol of oppression in the colony. It is not the duty of the people to sit passively by and suffer while you fools go day to day unmolested without mak- ing some attempt Militarily to let you fools feel our unrest and pain by throwing everything that wecan possibly throw at you to ultimately destroy the Empire of domestic imperialism that you've con- structed in the colony on the lives of our people. The people know that it’s you pigs that create the conditions in which we have to survive on a day to day basis. If there exists with- in this society laws that state that a person must have money to deal with bare necessities and if you don’t do without, 1 would say that there is a society that has created within it the need to take. Black people are becoming more and more .awareofthis, Weare P,.O,W, and anything we doto break out from under what we’re under is Right on, The most important thing is the way we do it. We must never at no time be half-stepping when dealing with the oppressor on any level. We must have a definite plan of direction. By this 1 mean we must know what we are yoing to do, how we are going to do it, when we are going to do it and so forth, what 1 am trying to say is plan your moves and ac- tons down to the ‘‘T’’, don't leave 4y stones unturned, What type of Liberation Tools that should be on the set is one more thing, and most important is a ‘‘Unity of Will”, Make sure you know this before you strike, With everyone on the set with this going for them there is no force so hip or too powerful that can’t be moved, Without a unity of will the hand doesn't function properly, Not say- ing that the hand couldn't do a jive job and get by but what it’s all SATURDAY, JUNE 20. 1970 PAGE 7 If that was the way Black men had to do it to survive and be recognized men then I would say that was a good thing and not a bad thing. I would say that this is advancing with ‘‘The Game’’ I would have to say this is show- ing ‘‘flexibility’’, able to deal with it on any level, because like Ihave stated if you relate to principles, principles will force a turn-out. Most important is right-now, reality, what we have to do now to survive, At last someone stepped forward, ‘‘The Man"’ Huey P. New- ton, he ran it and did it like it was supposed to be done, so one needn’t trip about how to gain one’s manhood all one would have to do would be to relate whole- heartedly to Huey's Standard, re- late to the examples that he set and the examples he is still setting. The only road left is the road to liberation and one must relate to principles and the gun in order to travel it, We must all be hum- ming the same tune ‘‘Ic is time to off the swine’’ and do it, no matter what we are off into, who we are or what we are, it really don't matter, I know that you brothers and sisters are strong because you're still on the set and that speaks for itself .1 know that you are some of the greatest practition- ers that have ever been on the set because this is where we cometh. The Black Panther Party has faith in you, the block brothers and sisters and we know that you have the power to destroy because you've proved it in action, We are willing to work with you, we are willing to be taught constructive things by you and we are willing to teach you constructive things because we love our people from Wino-0's to Hipes. And to the ‘‘sharp macks"’ and “‘Ladies"’ our doors are open to you anytime of the day or night because if you been relating to principles and putting them into action in everyday living then I know you, above all know that it’s time for a change, it's time to take it higher.

AG, —<—<—<—<— THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 8 THE PIG'S QUESTIONNAIRE On March 28, 1970, a call was made to my home phone in Rock- ford. It was the F.B.L a pig called Murphy. I was nothome and my mother answered the phone. He claimed that he was a friendfrom Chicago and said that he would call back later, Wednesday April calledand asked me to come to his office. I went down to the post office. At first he said a 69 Toronado car was stolen and driven to. Peoria, Illinois and a slip of paper was found with my name on it in the car, but no finger prints were found in the car I told him that the story sound like he made it up. Then he tried to get friendly and start to ask a lot of questions about the Party. like who are the lead- ers in Rockford, and what posi- tions do they hold, how did the Party in Rockford start, who came UP AGAINST THE power ( punk ) structure, Yes, that's right the same pigs that controls the state controls the Mayor of New Jersey city. This fact is evident from the recent investigation in Newark and the exposing Addinizio, who has been linked up witn all the Mafia games in New Jersey City and gets away clean, then we alsc know that the Mafia has strong ties in City Hall with that arch criminal Mayor Welan and all of his bootlicking pig cops, Especial- ly the two sissys that constantly harass the members fo the Black Panther Party, NC.C.F , the ANOTHER STREET Foo Kee Joon, the Kuomingtang, of a filthy restaurant, located at 357 West 128th St. and Lenox Ave., New York, has sent another bro- cher to jail (concentration camp). While selling. Panther Papers Friday, June 6, 1970, I was walk- ing down Lenox Ave. I noticed a crowd of people standing out- side an apartment building so I went to investigate what was hap~ pening. Some pigs were taking a brother off to jail and 1 asked the people who were standing a- round, why the brother was being busted? They told me ‘Because of a robbery that occurred in his store a few months ago.’ One brother is already in jail because of a lie this man has told, Now he’s sending another brother to jail.” George Keller, age 35 or 36, is the first brother Foo lied on, Why? Because all niggers are a- like and it doesn't make any dif- ference who goes to jail, as long as someone pays for the so-called robbery of his store. This.is.the attitude of Foo, the Kuomingtang capitalist, According to his friend, George has a cast on his arm and doesn’t bother anybody, He is a drug ad- dict, just as most Black people who live in the area are addicts. This was one of Foo's excuses for gettins George busted Only addicts hang out in Foo's restau- rant, so that is a contradiction, \roun.l December, 1969, a sister and a brother, robbed Foo’s res- taurant, George was eating there at the. time, During the robbery they dropped some money on the floor) George bent down to pick it up after they had left, When Foo saw him bending down to pick up the money, he blamed Georye for heing in onthe robbery, George said he was not in on the rob- bery and that to clear himself he'd call the pigs (vital mistake). The piss came down to the res- taurant and took George and Foo to the pis sty. On the way there, Foo chanyed his story, and not do we think guns are necessary, how many guns did I have, were we like the Klan, who are our enemies and he named large ma- jor firms. I told him to buy a newspaper and he could find out what he wanted to know, He then stated that if people don’t give him nice answers he could go to their neighbors and friends and talk to them, I told him I knew where J, Edgar Hoover stood on the Party and that’s his boss so there is nothing for us to talk about, He then tried to explain his job and he stated how he was on the case that busted up the minutemen, he said that all it’s leaders are in jail. He then said that Klan leaders were in jail too, I told him that all the racist weren't in jail so that doesn’t mean a thing. WALL MAFIOSO Black people in Jersey City, and the entire Northern section of New Jersey must beware of thed peo- ple in power who run our lives, control our jobs, and dictate tous the type of community we are allowed to have, These people in power in New Jersey, starting with the pig who calls himself the Governor of the State, are puppets of the gansters, who call them- selves businessmen but in reality are nothing but hoodlums from the Mafia. These same pigs who run the whole state of New Jersey, who run all the illegal gambling NIGGER BUSTED only said, George was one of the robbers, but that he was one of the robbers who pulled a gun on him. Now George is about to face 10 - 15 years for armed rob- bery. There is one brother whose name is Willis, who was eating there at the time of the robbery. He can prove that George is not the robber, but he fears going to 100 Center St., because of the injustice he has received in court in the past, and the possibility of Foo pointing him out as being the alleged robber. The brothers who are on drugs, hang out in Foo Kee Joon's res- taurant, no matter what time of day, all day and night long, be- . cause of a specific reason, and that is because Foo is a pusher and he has no fear of them hang- ing out in his store and robbing him, because he knows that they‘Il need him for some drugs. Two bro~ thers who know Foo, and who are on drugs, informed me of his ac- tivities. Foo doesn't only serve high priced food, he serves heroin as his main dish, We must rid our community of these exploiters and racists, We must run them out by any means necéSsary. Whenever Foo doesn’t want a brother around his store anymore, he frames them, or calls the pigs on them. The jails are filled with our people as it is, We are not animals and we will not stand to be treated as such, We must free our brothers froin these dehumanizing 2 by 4 torture chambers. Will we so passively like the Jews did when Hitler came to take them off of their slaughter houses, or will we arm ourselves, for self-defense against these oppressive fools to prevent brothers and sisters from being herded into the man’s jails, like cattle, whenever they feel. We must free George Keller, the N,Y, 21, Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton and all Black people who've been rail- roaded off to jail. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE DEATIL TO THE FASCIST PIGS Myra Murphy is a pig that records information on organizations that that Hoover wants historical data on, I told Larry Howell, who was over at my house that morning and to come back to pick me up if I was there longer than 15 minutes. So he came in and asked for me and about 2 to 5 minutes later we left. The next day I was leaving for school and I was waiting for a ride to catch the bus to Chicago. Pig Murphy called again and said to tell him when I am in town and if ever the party is doing something I don’t like ordisagree © with to give him a call, which I say is never because the only thing a pig can do for the people is to blow out his own brains. ALL POWER TO THE OPPRES- SED PEOPLE! Charles L, Hawkins houses along the coast, who pudh the dope into the community and off into the schools, are the same ones that live in Jersey City and sleep with all the pigs of the local Bobbsie Twins, Maran and Hamil- ton of the special Panther investi- gation squad, These two low lifted beast are now trying to set upthe brothers and sisters of the com- munity center. However they fail to realize that the driving force behind the Black Panther Party, N.C.C,F , if the poor oppressed Black peo- ple of new Jersey City and the people will never submit to the treatment that the pigs have in mind, So this message to the people must be translated into revolutionary struggle and action so that the people can free them- selves from the oppressive sys- tem that has puppets in power that are controlled by the Mafia and endorsed by racist pig cops. The revolutionary action nec- essary is the organizing of self- defense groups across the com- munity to deal with the enemy with 357 magnum, 9mm., 12 guage shot guns and 30 .06 hit powered rifles. Wehave exposed the real power structure of New Jersey City and we will continue to do so because our responsibility is to the people, the Black Panther Par- ty, NC.C,F,, is here to see the people and to educate the peo- ple to the correct method of re- sisting the pigs with guns and make the people aware of the games run on Black people by the pigs of the power structure.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! FREE THE CHATRMAN! BLACK PANTHER PARTY Colorado Chapter ON PHIL HUTCHINS BY ELDRIDGE CLEAVER MINISTER OF INFORMATION Phil. Hutchins is the new Julius Lester with the same old shaky ap- proach to writing squeaky articles a- bout the shortcomings of the Black Panther Party. This little punk is ac- tually a joke. When SNCC had ab- solutely collapsed, had totally fallen apart at the seams, James Forman scraped around amongst the left-over Black hippies still relating to the name and past-glory of SNCC and fronted Litile Phil off as the chief spokes- man for a defunct organization. As time goes by, the bourgeois nature of SNCC is thoroughly revealed by the paths followed by its former members. Where are these loud- mouthed Black hippies now? Julius Lester, Ivanhoe Donaldson, Charlie Cobb? Those of them that have not become outright pigs have made spiri- tual coalitions with the pigs. But we should not be fooled or con- fused by all the weird changes that many people are going through these days as things get hotter. Many people Spent the greater pari of their lives calling for a revolution, and now that the violent phase of the revolution is unfolding, they throw up both hands and start going through a lot of liberal intellectual changes. Instead of getting down with it and helping to deal with these voracious pigs, these napes find it more relevant to start splitting hairs and debating the fine points of what’s wrong with the movement, In the past, they could not be forced to exercise their brains about anything. But now, when action is called for above all else, they suddenly develop a great interest in the fine points of the movement, We are witnessing today nothing but the plain and simple cowardly coping- out of all these phony Black and White liberals and arm chair philosophers. There is only one question for these napes to answer, only one hair for them to split, and I think. it was well- Stated by brother Doug Miranda: Do we lick the master’s boots or take the master’s head? Phil Hutchins’ answer to this ques- tion seems to be: ‘*We do neither of these things. We debate the issue until the master takes our heads.’’ BLACK PANTHER PARTY Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver Saturday night, 11:00 P.M,, June 6, 1960, the fascist pigs forced their way into the Smith family THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 9 PIG BRUTALITY IN BALTIMORE break down the door and smash his door window and come into his residence when the fire was apartment and beat-them; relatives in the back and across the street. and friends who were visiting at 1919 East Fayette Street. A call had been made to the fire department about a fire in which the overhead electric lines were sparking and had flames racing down the lines; the house in back was on fire, 7 The Smith family and friends were sitting in the kitchen, when Mr. Oscar Monroe Smith saw the fire and told the people who were there in the house to leave, Some people gathered outside to wait for the fire department, who re- sponded quickly.

Mr. Smith told the pigs that they had no right to break down his door, and do the things that they had done, He then asked them for a search warrant. The pigs then started oinking and jacked Mr. Oscar Smith a- gainst the wall. There were five pigs holding him while the other five had their billy clubs raised to hit him.

The pigs then com- menced an open act of unjusti- fiable aggression on the Smith's children. Marvel Mary Smith, age 15, was grabbed by the pigs and was beaten, The father then broke away from his captors and rushed to help his daughter, He was im- mediately maced, When the daugh- ter saw this she tried desperate- ly to help her father, the pigs then handcuffed her with her hands behind her back and punched her in the face in which she suffered a broken nose. The decrepit pigs did not stop there, they shined a flashlight on her and continued to beat her. Mr.Smith’s other daughters tried to stop the pigs from beating Marvel, andthey were maced, Mr, Smith himself was maced again while trying to free himself from the gestapo pigs. On the outside of the house the pigs were doing their dirty work as usual by beating and harass- ing unarmed harmless people.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE CONTACT; BLACK PANTHER PARTY Harlem Branch 2026 7th Avenue 864-8951 666-3603 Jacob THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 10 THE 21 MUST BE SET FREE The longer the pretrial hearing goes on, the more the pigs of D.A, Hogan's office andthe Police Department are exposed. More than ten pretrial hearings for the suppression of evidence have oc- curred, and the only evidence that assistant pig D,A, Phillips can produce to bolster, and build his fantastic ‘‘bomb plot’? theory is that the Black Panther Party ad- vocates ARMED SELF DEFENSE against those who are trying to kill us, and our people, against the fascist goons who pose as police, but are nothing more than the armed, and organized troops of the racist ruling class, All that has been produced by the sissy D,A, Phillips in the way of material evidence is the guns that we as human beings have a right to. The guns of rev- olutionary self defense that stand in opposition to the pig guns of reactionary oppression. The only other evidence that has been brought forth and can remotely be Said to deal with a ‘*bomb con- spiracy'’ were two pieces of pipe screwed shut on both ends, with two cherry bombs or firecrackers. The pigs say these two empty pipes were bombs and/or bomb makings. (On April 2nd, Hogan said we were busted with bombs at ready.) It is obvious that to so-called evi- dence is quite inadequate and very non-functional for the purpose Hogan and Phillips claim, namely five department stores, railroad tracks, and the Botanical Gardens (a park) that we were going to blow up. It has become clear that the racist pig agencies in N.Y.C, are fastly being exposed with their own hand, in their efforts torail- road the N.Y. 21. The pigs see the conviction of the N.Y, 21 as a means to an end, the end being the total extermination of all pro- gressive people and forces in the Black communities. For if Black people *are to move out of the dis- mal darkness of racist exploi- tation and fascist repression, we should ask ourselves what direc- tion will the ruling pig power elite fear Black people taking. And we should step boldly forward on all levels and take that direction. And at this point this means the freeing of all political prisoners in Babylon, For anyone who takes this stand, stands in opposition, and against those who would com- mit legal genocide against Black people, Taking this stand means we as a people realize the true nature of this society, and there- fore, the laws of the courts are nothing more than the standards, ideas, and will of our oppressors made into a law or code for every- one, and cannot but kill us and exploit us in one form or another, So to say FREE the N.Y, 21, is to say free ourselves in the most forceful, and correct man- ner. To organize around that in N.Y. is to organize ourselves for our own national survival as Black people confronted with le- = gal genocide. To do less than that is to set the stage for our family, loved ones, and our peo- ple to be legally ripped from our midst, and murdered or sent away forever. In the N.Y. 21 case, the pigs are making this very clear daily, The slimy vulture who has pre- sided over the 21 trial, Judge Mur- tagh, has consistently attempted to detract from the obvious con- tradictions being exposed during the hearings as the pigs oink and lie in the faces of the people, He tries to do this by attacking the Panther Defense Attorneys and the defendants themselves, in order to create a situation that would allow him to ban us from the courts andtry us in absten- sia. Murtagh has limited the Pan- ther defense at every turn from exercising a thorough examina- tion into the pigs testimonies and motive, He does this for the sup- posed reason of moving matters forward swiftly. Because as he says; ‘‘this case cannot drag on indefinitely."’ But it was he who indefinitely suspended all proceed- ings for 33 days, Because the 21 demanded their -alleged con- Sstitutional rights whichhave “been denied for over a year, and a reduction in 100,000 dollar ransom. Now the pretrial hearings are drawing to a close, the 21 will soon be on trial facing life im- prisonment, and it is impossible for them to get a fair trial. The judge and D,A, have made sure of this for over a year. The pigs of Hogan’s office and sly Mayor Lindsay's office have injected into the N.Y. 21 case new conspira- cies, designed to line up certain reactionary elements and factions in the city behind the state pro- secution and isolate or confuse others who would move against the fascist tactics of the courts. The tools these slimy dogs of the pig power structure employ are raving maniacs, in this case one Sean DuBonnet. This boot- licking idiot fits the same men- tal pattern as pig George Sams in the NewHavenConnecticut rail- road of nine Panthers, Sean Du- Bonnet (pronounced Shawn) has spent at least four years in va- rious mental hospitals as a de- fective, he has been busted for confessing to crimes he didn’t commit, impersonating a pig, and other crazy hairbrained things. When he was in the Black Panther Party before being expelled for ly- ing, and stealing from the people FASCISM AT COOPER J.HS., Fascism reached a new low this week when District Super- intendent, Martin Frey, called out gestapo forces on J.H.S, 120 at 120th St. and Madison Avenue. Cooper J.H.S, has been run by acting Principal William King. On Wednesday of last week, Frey fired King with no forewarning. In the letter of charges, it said that he was being fired for incompetence and poor human relations which amounted to insufficient reasons at best. The parents, screening com- mittee and student body were en- raged at this blatant display of disconcern with their wishes on the part of the district super- intendent. The Screening and Planning Committee at Cooper J.H,S, had asked for a meeting between Mar- tin Frey (a pig from downtown) and William King, their choice for principal who had been ousted by Frey, to discuss the reasons why Mr. King came to school Thursday morning to meet with them, but Frey had called out the gestapo pigs. He had had all the entrances chained and padlocked except the main one and guards at every door. The main entrance was guarded by eight pigs complete with riot helmets, nigger sticks and .357's. The spirit of the peo- ple prevailed though, for the chil- dren found a way to get King into the building. The pigs bodily re- moved King, and Frey refused to meet with him to discuss anything. Out of the door with King went the last shred of faith in a sys- tem that allowed narrow-minded racist pigs like Frey to be re- sponsible for the education of Black and Puerto Rican children. The students took down the true sym- bol of fascism, the American flag and replaced it with a lib- eration flag. A pig dept. Sgt. took the students’ flag down and got an egg thrown in his face, The racist dog took the flag and wiped his face with it. \ melee broke out with the students and the pigs. The pigs with their nigger sticks and the students with eggs. One of the pigs grabbed a student by the collar and said, ‘‘One more moye and I'll clobber you.’’ The outcome of that encounter was; 1 parent injured, Roselyn James; 1 student injured and sev- eral students suspended and a J.H.S. in the middle of Harlem under Marshall Law. Says Mrs. Frances, a commu- nity worker, ‘‘It’'s not the ousting of Mr. King so much, it’s the principle of the thing.

Now this opportunistic pig is in Cen- tral Islip Hospital for the men- tally sick, placed there by his masters and his visions of money. The ultimate reward the pigs be- stow upon those in their employ- ment who have served their ends, It was Sean DuBonnet who sup- plied the N.Y, pig department with lies and absurd concoctions so thatthese same pigs could tap and bug the phones and homes of cer- tain Panthers in Brooklyn (these Pigs would have us believe that no- other Panthers pads are bugged), Even the pigs themselves admitted in writing and onthe stand that DuBonnet was playing on them and had given them misinformation and lied to them just as he had lied and stole from the Black Pan- ther Party, like the foul depraved pig he is. But even with such know- ledge of Dubonnet, his mental back- ground, his extensive history for lying, the pigs of Brooklyn D,A, office used his insane testimony to acquire wire tap orders andare using this madman’s word to at- tack the N.Y, 21, by tainting and distorting the pretrial hearings in- to avile series of plots and counter-plots that DuBonnet sup- posedly overheard or was present at. Now the pigs accuse the Black Panther Party of plotting with the Ocean Hill Brownsville governing board (community school board in Brooklyn) to kill the racist Pre- sident of the United Federation of Teachers, Albert (Adolph) Shan- ker. The racist president, who dur- ing the long teachers strike in New York, did everything in his power along with the racist UFT to deny Black people in Harlem, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville, the Bronx, Queens and throughout the Black colony in N.Y, effec- tive control of the local schools in which Black children attend, It was Shanker who intimidated the pig politicians and defined the UFT's reactionary position in re- lationship to Black \people, who closed down the people’s schools for months, who went to Albany and forced the UFT's version of Community Control of Schools down Black people’s throats and it is the N.Y.C, pig police who used their guns and force to pro- tect the UFT interests. Now the pigs of the power structure are reactionary White elements a- gainst the Black Panther Party in their attempts to railroad the drawal of gestapo forces from the school and the reinstatement of Mr. King. The students and parents of J.H.S, 120 are tired of being run by White communities, they are tired of being told what they are to learn and whose going to teach it. J.H.S, 120 has declared its in- dependence from the oppressor’s rule. J.H.S. 120, its parents and students need your help to achieve its liberation.

DARE TO STRUGGLE DARE TO WIN N.Y. 21, The pigs must obviously feel that various weak knee and opportunistic niggers will also fall in line. For they have implied that the Black Panther Party must have conspired with other ‘‘com- munity type people’’ during the recent school crisis, They expect niggers to come running and screaming ‘‘we have never had anything to do with the Black Pan- ther Party,"’ But these fool pigs are sadly mistaken if they think that Black people will go for their madness. Sean DuBonnet has stated to the pigs that he was present at a meet- ing that never took place. The pur- pose of the meeting was to off Shanker and that some people from the Ocean Hill Community Board offered the Black Panther Party $15,000 to off Pig Shanker. The obvious basis for such a story has been lying madness and the pigs simple minds. Both seem to work hand in hand, The Black Panther Party realizes why the pigs of City Hall and the D,A, office are using blatant insane testimony and affi- davits to railroad the 21, Because if they can effectively implicate by association or otherwise all progressive elements in the Black community in some diabolical lost scheme they could isolate and ex- terminate those forces who could righteously put forth the struggle in our communities for total con- trol and righteous revolutionary Black Power.

Capitol of Babylon, World Racism, And Imperialism June 19, 1970 BY THE BLACK PANTHER PARES MESSAGE ‘TO Delivered On The 1( Of The Emancipatu At Washington, DG‘. World Racism, And Impe As oppressed people held captive within the confines of the Fascist-Imperialist United’ States of America, we Black Amzricans take a dim view of the position that we, as a people, find ourselves in at the beginning of the 7th decade of the Twentieth Century. We find ourselves in a very dangerous world-situation. White America has always adhered to avery racist attitude in its policy towards people who have color. This has been true in the past and it is true today. We see very clearly that whereas White America has escalated its policy of repression and containment of Black people inside the United States itself, on a world scale, the United States is playing the leading role in organizing the White race against the people of the world who have a color. Resolv- ing contradictions between White Protestants and White Catholics, between White Christians and White Jews, be- tween White Capitalists and White Communists, between White Eastern Europeans and White Western Europeans, between White Archeo-Colonialists and White Neo- Colonialists, wherever we look, the picture is one and the same, White racist America, which domestically has adopted the policy of open fascism in order to put down the uprisings of oppressed people of color and those few Whites who take a stand against the grizzly reality of the Babylonian scene, this same White racist America has projected its domestic racist perspective onto the inter- national scene and has o7ganized world imperialism along racists lines. Within the domestic confines of the United States of America, we see clearly that a well-planned, calculated Fascist Genocidal Conspiracy is being imple- mented against our people. Black people within the domestic confines of the U.S.A. have reached another cross road. This is a time for the most serious decisions that we, asapeople, have ever been called upon to make. The decisions that we make in our time, the actions that we take or failto take, will determine whether we, as a people, will survive or fall victims to genocidal extermination at the hands of the FASCIST MAJORITY which the Nixon clique are rapidly mobilizing into a beastly vigilanty weapon to be unleashed against US. THE U.S.A. MONSTER The United States of Am2rica is a barbaric organization controlled and operated by avaricious, sadistic, blood- thirsty thieves. The United States of Americais the Number One exploiter and oppressor of the peoples of the whole world, The inhuman capitalistic system which defines the core of reality of the U.S.A., is the root of the evil that has polluted the very fabric of existence within the U.S.A. Exploitation of man by man; the rule of man over man in- stead of the rule of the laws of Human Rights and Justice; savage wars of aggression, mass murder, genocide, and shameless slaughter of the people of the world; impudent, arrogant White Racism; and a naked, brazen attempt to perpetuate White Supremacy on a world scale--these are a few of the unsavory characteristics of the U.S.A. Mon- ster with which we have to deal. We did not ask for this situation. We did not create it, And we do not prefer it but we must deal with it.

IMPLEMENTING POINT NO. 10 OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY PLATFORM AND PROGRAM Point No. 10 of the Black Panther Party’s Platform and Program addresses itself to the question of the Na- tional Destiny of Black people. We feel that, in practical terms, it is time for Black people as a whole to address theiy attention to the question of our National Destiny, Black people can no longer either respect the U.S. Constitution, look to it with hope, or live under it. The Constitution is the social contract that binds the American people together into a sovereign nation and defines authority and the distribution of power, rights, and privileges. By shoving the Constitution aside, rendering it null and void, in order to carry out fascist oppression and repression of Black people, the fascists have, by that very fact, destroyed even the false foundations of authority in this society, We live in a lawless society where racist pigs Judicial, and Executive ot branches of government and perverted them towards the om ..iprosperity of their private interests, We repudiate, most DE + emphtitically, all documents, Laws, Conventions, and Prac- 'S?_4.‘tices® that allow this sorry state of affairs to exist--in- Hts cluding the Constitution of the United States, “ US of ‘e ae > at ive en 2d? bty lies es’ red ca. ot- aS als ted the ity nic ing ica. ted YS. tion this s of The and nor For us, the case is absolutely clear: Black people have no future within the present structure of power and authority in the United States under the present Constitution. For us, also, the alternatives are absolutely clear; the present structure of power and authority in the United States must be radically changed or we, as a people, must extricate ourselves from entanglement with the United States. If we are to remain a part of the United States, then we must have a new Constitution that will strictly guarantee our Human Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happin2ss, which is promised but noi delivered by th2 present Constitution. We shall no! accept one iota less than this, our full, unblimished Human Rights. If this is not to be, if we cannot make a new arrangement within the United States, then we have no alternative but to declare ourselves free and independent of the United States. If it is our national destiny to follow the latter course, then we must declare ourselves into self-governing machinery, and seek the recognition of the freedom-loving nations of the world. The Black Panther Party fully realizes that the two voads open to us as set forth above involve monumental undertakings. But we are trapped in a monsterous situation that requires a monumental solution, And no task, however great, is too much to deal with when the very welfare, survival, and national destiny of our people are at stake. Having already struggled up from the dismal depths of chattel slavery, no obstacles can be too hiv for us to sur- mount in order to liberate our people and take back the freedom and security that was taken away from us and denied us for so long. CALL FOR A REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE’S CONSTI- TUTIONAL CONVENTION The hour is late and the situation is desperate. As a nation, America is now in the middle of. the greatest crisis in its history. The Black Panther Party believes that the American people are capable of rising to the task which history has laid before the nation. We believe that the American people are capable of rejecting the fascist solution to the national crisis which the fascist Nixon clique, the George Wallaces’, Lester Maddoxes’, Ronald Reagans’, Spiro Agnews’, etc. hold out to the people. WE THEREFORE, CALL FOR A REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE’S CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, TO BE CON- VENED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, TO WRITE A NEW CONSTITUTION .THAT WILL GUARANTEE AND DELIVER TO EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN THE INVIOLABLE HU- MAN RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! We call upon the American people to rise up, repudiate, and restrain the forces of fascism that are now rampant in the land and which are the only real obstacles standing between us and a rational resolution of the national crisis. We believe that Black people are not the only group within America that stands in need of a new Constitution. Other oppressed ethnic groups, the youth of America, Women, young men who are slaughtered as cannon fodder in mad, avaricious wars of azgression, our neglected elderly people all have an interest in a new Constitution that will guarantee us a society in which Human Rights are supreme and Justice is assured to every man, woman, and child within its jurisdiction, For it is only through this means that America, as a nation, can live together in peace with our brothers and sisters the world over. Only through this means can the present character of America, the purveyor of exploitation, misery, death, and wanton destruction all over the planet earth, be changed. WARNING TO AMERICA We are from 25 to 30 million strong, and we are armed. And we ave conscious of our situation. And we are deter- mined to change it, And we are unafraid. Because we have our guarantee, If the American people, as a whole, do not rise up, reverse the present course of this nation, which, if unchecked, holds out only fascist repression and genocide for Black people, then we, Black people, will be forced to respond with a form of War of Salvation that in the chaos of carrying it out and the attempt to repress it, will gut this country and utterly destroy it. Before we accept Genocide, we will inflict Total Destruction upon Babylon, It had best be understood, now, that the power we rely upon ultimately, as our only guarantee against Genocide at the hands of the Fascist Majority, is our strategic ability to lay this country in ruins, from the bottom to the top. If forced to resort to this guarantee, we will not hesitate to do so. FOR THE SALVATION, LIBERATION, AND FREEDOM OF OUR PEOPLE, WE WILL NOT HESITATE TO EITHER KILL OR DIE!

On April 5, more than 200 anti- war and radical Japanese citizens demonstrated outside the base, Added to the old demands for an end to the war and removal of the base were some significant new slogans; ‘‘Solidarity with the anti- war GlIs’’, ‘‘Oppose—Ractsm™; “Oppose Riot _Training.on the base’. These slogans were no empty words, For months now, the base has been in a state of near rebellion, Rising discontent has been met with increased repres- sion. The new mood was shown in the GI respoase to the civil- ian demonstrators, Whenten years ago they would have given the fin- ger, they were now flashing the V-sign. The Marine Air Station at Iwa- kuni is a base of increasing im- portance in U,S,.-Japanese mili- tary strategy. It is the head- quarters of the First Marine Air Wing, most of which is in Viet- nam, As Nixon's ‘‘withdrawal’’ program proceeds, units are be- ing shifted from Vietnam to Iwa- kuni, and the base is growing. “‘Withdrawal"’, it turns out, is not quite the same as sending the troops home; Iwakuni has beenre- developed into a major strategic center facing China and--most im- portant for the 1970's--Korea. Between Oct, 22 and Nov. 22, 1969, the air station was kept in a state of perpetual riot a- lert. Significantly, this was pre- THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 15, MARINES ORGANIZE IN JAPAN cisely the period when Japan was in a condition of near-rebellion on the occasion of of Prime Minister Sato's ‘visit to the United States. Following this, the Pentagon sent a special inspec- tion team to Iwakuni to look into the condition of disorder, The squadrons then began to receive intensive riot training, apparently for use against both GI and Japa- nese rebellions, On Jan. 5, a Black rebellion erupted at Iwakuni. There were several arrests and many inju- ries. At least one man was hos- pitalized. Following this out- burst--which was not the first on the base--the command really be- gan to crack down. Barracks pa- trols were set up and Black Ma- rines walking in groups of threes and fours were ordered to break up. In an attempt to ease the pres- sure, the command set up a *‘Hu- man Relations Committee’. On Feb. 5, the new base commander, Brig. Gen, William C. Johnson, arranged a meeting in which he personally heard complaints from Gls. Fifty Black and ten White Marines attended; one of them smuggled in a tape recorder with which he taped the entire pro- ceedings. When the command learned that the meeting had been taped, a search was initiated, and suspects were questioned and ha- rassed, The tape was never found, for it had been turned over to Beheiren, the largest Japanese peace organization, which made its contents public at a press con- ference. The transcript of the tape is a truly fascinating record of our times, The general worked hardto come on as a friend of the Gls. He proceeded to break up the pro- blems brought up into piece-meal reform measures that could be dealt with by the system: new books in the library, a change in civilian dress regulations, an order not to call Black Marines ‘‘boy"’ or “nigger’’, etc. The Blacks, however, were not impressed, and sought to raise the discussion to a different level: “When we fight and when we express ourselves in the only way we know how, we get the shaft... That's what America stands for. It doesn’t represent the land of the free and the home of the brave, it doesn’t stand for that, that’s 180 out. You stand for fighting and you stand for violence and you stand for bloodshed and when we start doing this, this is when you react,”’ The resistance movement at Iwakuni has reached a state of open rebellion, As at all bases in Japan, cooperation between re- bellious soldiers and Japanese groups is on the sharp increase, A new branch of ‘Radio Camp- Must-Go"’ has been opened at Iwa- kuni.

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 16 TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN AGGRESSORS AND THEIR LACKEYS At the present time, a new upsurge in the struggle against American im- perialism is asserting itself on a world- wide scale, Since the end of the Second World War, American imperialism and those carried in its wake have not stopped waging wars of aggression, and the peoples have always had recourse to revolutionary warfare to vanquish the aggressors, The danger of a new world war remains and the people of the world must be prepared for it, But today in the world the principle tendency is revolution, , The American aggressors unable t win the war in Vietnam and Laos fomented a reactionary coup d’etat by the Lon Nol-Sirik Matak clique, shame- facedly sent their troops into Cambodia and resumed the bombing of North Vietnam, all of which has given rise to indignant resistance on the part of the three Indochinese peoples, I warmly support the fighting spirit of Samdech Norodom Sihanouk, head of State of Cambodia, against American imperialism and their lackeys; I warm- ly support the joint statement of the summit conference of Indochinese peo- ples; I warmly support the establish- ment of the Royal Government of Na- tional Union placed under the aegis of the National United Front of Kam~ puchea, In strengthening their unity, in assisting each other with mutual aid and help and in persevering in a people’s war of long duration, the three Indochinese peoples will be able to overcome all difficulties and seize total victory. CHAIRMAN MAO'S STATEMENT PEOPLES OF THE WORLD UNITED American imperialism, while lend- ing itself to massacres abroad, is kill- ing White and Blacks in its own coun- try. Nixon’s fascist violence has made the ardent flames of the mass revolu- tionary movement in the United States surge forth, The Chinesc people bring their firm support to the revolutionary struggle of the American people, Heroic in combat, the American people will conquer and fascist domination in the United States will suffer ineluctable defeat--such is my conviction, The Nixon administration is assailed by numerous difficulties, both internal and external: it is locked in struggle with a country in full chaos and is very isolated in the world, The mass protest movement against American aggression in Cambodia is unleashing itself throughout the world, Less than ten days after its formation, the Royal Government of National Union of Cam- bodia has been recognized by almost twenty countries, The war of resis- tance of the Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian peoples against American aggression and for national well being is experiencing an ever-better situa- tion, The revolutionary armed struggle of the peoples of Southeast Asia, the armed struggle vf the peoples of Ko- rea, Japan and the other Asian coun- tries against the resurrection of Japa- nese militarism perpetrated by the Americano - Japanese reactionaries, the struggle of the Palestinian people and the other Arab peoples against the Americano - Israeli aggressors, the struggle of the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America for national lib- eration as well as the revolutionary struggle of the peoples of North Amer- ica, of Europe and Oceania are all de- veloping with impetuosity, The Chinese people firmly support the three Indo- chinese peoples and the other peoples of the world in their revolutionary struggle against American imperialism and its lackeys, American imperalism has the aura of a colossus but in reality it is no more than a paper tiger and it is struggling desperately, Inthe final ana- lysis who is afraid of whom intoday’s world? It is not the peoples of Vietnam, of Laos, of Cambodia, of Palestine, of the other Arab countries and the rest of the world who fear American imperialism, it is American im- perialism which fears the peoples of the world, At the slightest movement, it panics. Innumerable facts prove that a just cause always enjoys wide support whereas an unjust cause finds little, A weak country is in a position to defeat a strong country, and a little country to defeat a large country. The people of a little country will def- initely triumph over the aggression on a large country if they dare to stand up in the struggle, have recourse to arms and take in hand the destiny of their country. Such is the law of history. Peoples of the world, unite, to destroy the American aggressors and their lackeys ON CHAIRMAN MAO TSE TUNG’S DECLARATION ¢. 20 MAY, 1970 In this declaration, Chairman Mao Tse Tung has set forth a brilliant and timely analysis of the qualita- tively new situation that exists in the world as a result of the treacherous new acts of aggression launched by the fascist, imperialist Nixon- Chinesepeoples, i This declaration pulls together into clear focus the revolutionary struggles and the liberation struggles of the peo- ple of the whole world, including the revolutionary struggle of the American people themselves, Speaking specifically for the Black Panther Party, but reflecting the sentiments of millions of oppressed people inside the United States, it has become crystal clear to us that rampant imperialist aggression onthe international scale and vicious fascist repression on the domestic scale are the two faces of the criminal govern- ment of the United States and the calculated policy of the American ruling circles. For 400 years now, Black people inside the United States have been the long-suffering victims of fascist violence and repression. But under the Nixon-Pentagon clique, this reactionary violence and repres- sion has been escalated to newheights of barbaric cruelty, At the same time, in ordnd to put down the already gi- ganticnord still growing mass move- ment eckbng White Americans against the wid -kless and sanguinary poli- cies &% g imperialist adventures of the Urent government, the cowardly Nixon-Peéntagon clique has unleashed a bloodbath against the American peo- ple as a whole, creating for itself new enemies who have joined hands with those who were already deter- mined to carry out a struggle to the bitter end against an economic, polit- ical, and social system that is do- minated by the madmen _ in the CONTINUED ON PAGE 20 — THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 17 From Resistance to Liberation [XI] The Eighth Conspirator Is a Prisoner of War ti] OBBY SEALE, LIKE OTHER Panthers now in jail, is not a political prisoner. He is a prisoner of war, While the white Conspiracy defendants were at least able to speak, write and freely prepare their de- fense, Bobby was seized on the Berkeley streets, indicted on a Connecticut murder charge, secretly driven in chains to Chicago, denied his right to representation, chained, “BOBBY SEALE, CHAIRMAN BLACK PANTHER gagged and severed from the case, shipped back to Cal fornia and then off to Connecticut, where he now faces th. electric chair. If ours was the “political trial of the century,” Bobby’s Long Trial is becoming the definitive trial of black people in America. His facing the electric chair is symbolic of black people facing genocide. Bobby’s case is not unique. Nearly 30 Panthers have been killed since the Party was founded; in the first year of the Nixon administration, over 400 have been arrested on vari- ous charges; Panther offices in Los Angeles, Oakland, Chi- cago, Des Moines and 15 other cities have been attacked by police. Nearly all members of their original Central Com- mittee have been suppressed: killed, jailed or forced into exile. The Justice Department has a special task force on the Panthers; the FBI considers them the greatest single threat to our national security; at least two congressional committees and several grand juries are investigating them. The Panthers are the target not of repression but of an undeclared war. Under a state of repression, the heretic at least is accorded bail, trial and appeal. In a state of war, victims are killed or rounded up without serious regard for legal “niceties.” The Panthers held in jails across America today are no different from prisoners held in Santo Do- mingo, Saigon or any other center of the American Empire. {uj HE ESCALATION OF WAR against the Panthers has created a vast difference between them and their less oppressed allies. The Panthers correctly criti- cize whites for not moving rapidly enough to deal with the special repression inflicted on blacks. And the whites, hesitant and confused about how to react to the brutal repression of Panthers, are correctly critical of the broadside nature of occasional Panther attacks on student movements, women’s liberation and the cultural rebellion arising from conditions in the Mother Country. These differences cannot be understood without a per- spective on the history of black-white political relations. In 1966 black radicals, led by Stokely Carmichael, purged whites from the “integrated” civil rights movement and directed them to go into the white community. Young whites did just this, creating a rebellious consciousness in- side the Mother Country. Eldridge Cleaver and the Panthers then saw the possibilities of this white radical impulse, and put forward a strategy of “liberation in the colony” coupled with “revolution in the Mother Country.” The Pan- thers argued that blacks should wage an autonomous strug- gle for self-determination, but added that victory would not be secured until the Mother Country was also transformed from within. -They began to experiment with coalitions for specific purposes with white organizations. Few whites realized the risks which the Panthers took in pursuing this line. It left the Party exposed to constant, baiting criticism by black “cultural nationalist” groups who pre‘erred either no contact with whites or, if necessary, contact with white foundations and corporations rather than white radicals. Among black radicals, the. Panthers were raising fears of a return to old-style coalitions in which black people had been submerged and their interests made secondary to the class struggle. From great numbers o! blacks, including those who joined the Party, the Panthers were demanding an incredible psychological adjustment: to conduct a racial struggle without anti-white feelings. White radicals, by comparison, had very little to lose from the coalitions except prestige or money. Since 1967 one coalition after another between the Pan- thers and whites has been created, achieved something useful, then been more or less dissolved due to racial or political differences. Some have been mainly educational campaigns, like the relatively successful one waged-around Huey’s trial. Some have been abortively electoral, like that with the Peace and Freedom Party, which collapsed before the 1968 elections. The Panthers have searched back and forth for the most effective white allies and have come up with different answers from time to time. Sometimes the answer has been the broad liberal community and the stu- dents; sometimes poor whites in Chicago and Richmond; sometimes Yippies and street people; sometimes the peace movement; sometimes a mixture of two or more of these. Always the coalitions have been affected by the fact that the Panthers are far more revolutionary and serious than their allies; always they have been plagued by the question of whether whites should be considered essentially as “sup- porters” or as an independent radical force moving towards a front-line alliance with the blacks. {1] LL THESE PROBLEMS came to a boiling point in 1969 as Nixon's policy of repression escalated. In response to severe attacks, the Panthers proposed a broad United Front which would essentially serve as a support group. The Front would raise funds, edu- cate white pgyygle to the dangers of fascism, and help circu- late a petition ior “community control of the police.” The difficulty was that the liberals who would be most likely to join such a Front were having jitters about the Panthers and repression, and the younger radicals were going through the birth pains of new struggles. In the white community, it was the ineffectual and opportunist Old Left groups which were most interested in the United Front. The radicals, meanwhile, were moving in at least four differ- ent directions: towards white working-class organizing, women’s liberation, the cultural revolution (as asserted in the People’s Park struggle), and armed struggle (as em- bodied by the Weathermen). Few of the younger radicals wanted to join a United Front with the Old Left or circu- late petitions in the white community, and none wanted to accept Panther leadership. Perhaps the Panthers did not understand the devastating effect this United Front would have on the young whites. Since their inception the Panthers had gradually inspired significant numbers of whites to the idea of armed struggle. Few whites had become John Browns, but the Panthers’ heroic image was accelerating white revolutionary con- sciousness as no American movement had done before. Then, with little preparation, the Panthers suddenly adopted a reformist tactic which the whites had been trying to go beyond. White radicals had no objection to a United Front of middle-class liberal support for the Panthers. But they wanted the Panthers to recognize as well the need for militant liberation struggles in the Mother Country. To the Panthers, the response of white radicals seemed self-centered and “anarchist.” The embattled Panthers had difficulty understanding the priority of women’s issues, for instance, or the significance of drugs and rock and roll, or why the Berkeley radicals fought in the streets for 17 days when black people had already demonstrated the futility of riots, or why Weathermen wanted to pick up guns instead of petitions. They could not see the legitimacy of the strug- gles that whites were engaged in and began to assert that the Party should be the “vanguard” of the Mother Country as well as of the Colony. The result was much hostile and futile “commandism” from the Panthers and much aliena- tion among the whites. Before the cleavages could be overcome, the U.S. govern- ment moved to take advantage of the situation. Noting that the United Front conference had ended in disarray and divi- sion, they concluded that the Panthers were isolated and therefore easy targets. From the United Front conference through the trial these gaps between the Panthers and their white allies continued. On November 15 in San Francisco David Hilliard was booed by the liberal peace movement for suggesting that peace could not be achieved without a liberation struggle, and that Nixon (or anyone standing in the way of black libera- tion) should be killed. Seeing the black-white division, the power structure moved again, this time indicting Hilliard for “threatening the President.” During the trial the gulf was both narrowed and widened. We enjoyed a political closeness with Bobby Seale, yet he remained in jail every day, while we were free. We helped create a mass consciousness among whites about the repres- sion of the Panthers, but Bobby was the one who experi- enced the gagging. We asserted our unity with the Panthers, but could do nothing to prevent Bobby’s sentence and the murders of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. The inadequacy was not simply our own; it existed throughout the white movement. Until November 15 in Washington, not one major demonstration occurred to protest. what had hap- pened to Bobby. Early this year, the Panthers were beginning to reconsider their basic strategy of coalition. tldridge drafted a mani- festo declaring that if class struggle were not possible, then blacks should go it alone in a race war. The manifesto vowed that no more Panthers would be sacrificed on the “altar of interracial harmony.” Then, suddenly, a hopeful new coalition was being cre- ated in New Haven. It had taken a long time (the Panthers had been held in Connecticut dungeons since before the United Front conference) but whites were beginning to move again on the issue of racism. A strike began in April. The president of Yale granted the validity of the question the Panthers had been raising all along: that a fair trial for black revolutionaries in America was hard to imagine. When 25,000 people, called by the Panthers and the Conspiracy, came to New Haven on May Day despite the warnings of Spiro Agnew and the threat of the National Guard, a mili- tant United Front involving both moderate and revolution- ary whites at last began to appear. liv] (O UNDERSTAND THE unevenness of black-white coalitions is to understand the structure of racism. All whites are part of a racist system: they live bet- ter materially, never experience the daily crises that the Panthers do, never are repressed as severely as blacks. Even becoming “more militant” than blacks cannot erase the color line: whites who try to act like John Brown are usually seen as manipulators who will not have to bear the consequences for whatever repression they bring down. The racial barrier which holds whites above blacks does not mean that all whites are individually racist in their attitudes or that white support is unimportant. But the attitudes, in- cluding alienation and protest, which develop in the Mother Country are remote from and often contradictory to black feelings. Women’s liberation will tend to seem secondary to Panthers fighting for physical survival; hippie life styles will seem indulgent to blacks looking for work. Huey Newton pointed out these differences in an essay from prison on white “anarchists.” Huey wrote that the black community, experiencing collective oppression and collective material needs, will grasp the idea of organization and discipline much more quickly than will the young alien- ated white person whose goal is self-expression. Breaking out of slavery requires a personal change in black people far different from the new life style of young whites. The black is moving from dependence and powerlessness to an aggres- sive pride in collective power. The young white is breaking out of the straitjacket of conformity toward a sense of per- sonal experiment and discovery. The young white will view organization and discipline as an infringement on free con- sciousness. By implication, even if whites sense a common Oppression their needs will still drive them toward a strong emphasis on personal transformation. The white radical plays a difficult part in this ambiguous world. The radical professes solidarity with the Panthers and the ghetto. At the same time, as a white, he receives special privileges and as a Mother Country radical he experi- ences special needs for liberation which are quite different from those which move the black community. The white radical is thus likely to exemplify both the nearness of, and the difficulty of achieving, real solidarity. In political terms this means that although whites can help the black struggle, they are inherently undependable. While blacks will never have to “go it alone” completely, the principle of self- reliance is more basic than that of coalition. A comparison with the coalition strategies of other national liberation movements shows parallels as well as vast differences with the American situation. Both the Viet- namese and the Algerians dealt with a French Left which contained racism and national chauvinism. Yet while they fought, the Algerians—and especially the Vietnamese— patiently educated and organized the French people be- cause they knew that French public opinion would be needed to support an end to the war. In the current war also the Vietnamese have taken a patient attitude towards American public opinion, believing that the war would en- courage dissent and a new political atmosphere in the U.S. Their strategy is to conduct a long guerrilla war, waiting for the cost in blood, taxes and honor to awaken some Ameri- cans while tiring others. While a “revolution in the Mother Country” would be desirable, they believe mere divisions are enough to bog down the .U.S. Beneath this strategy lies a remarkable faith in the abjlity of human beings to overcome ignorance and prejudicéy The Vietnamese believe that even the American soldiers they are fighting are pawns who would change sides if they knew the truth. The moral force of an idea is their greatest weapon. They“are not a “‘vanguard” giving commands to the American anti-war movement but more of an armed conscience trying to moveand persuade, But in the American case the black and Third World colo- nies are dispersed inside the Mother Country. There is no national territory on which blacks can develop schools, in- dustry and agriculture, establish an identity as a people and fight for their freedom. A war of independence here would not, end in the political separation of two distinct geo- graphic territories, as it did for France and Algeria, ‘but would rearrange America itself. One result is that black people have become more inter- dependent with white people than in any other colonial society. Feelings of both familiarity and hatred are bred at CONTINUED ON PAGE 18 THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 18 FROM RESISTANCE TO LIBERATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 the same time. Although they are culturally separate, blacks can think like white Americans easily and naturally. The hypocrisy of even the white radicals is felt day to day. Painful relations can often be broken off, but this one has a way of continuing. Even while blacks despair of whites, black motion itself constantly pushes some whites towards a better, more radical, understanding. Blacks have been the trigger of the early white student movement, the radical- izers of the anti-war movement, the legitimizers of revolu- tionary violence and the soul of the underground culture. The black assault on white racism has its effect: young white people become less racist than their elders even though they remain part of a racist system. The black-white relationship becomes hard to break for another reason. Because they lack a unified national terri- tory of their own, blacks are almost forced to depend on a “base” in the consciousness of the White Left, or on the bank accounts of white liberals—more so than in other lib- eration struggles. In Vietnam the revolutionaries can leave political relationships with the Americans to skilled and patient diplomats. They are confident that their image of the American people will be fulfilled but they do not go through the psychological torment of dealing with whites every day. They shoot those who invade; they welcome those who protest. They do not need immediate evidence to confirm their ultimate faith that whites can be human beings; they gain strength enough from their schools, their factories, their army, the land they till, and their national tradition. In America none of this seems possible, at least not in the form taken by other peoples. As long as there are no “Panther zones” as fully self-sustaining as the “Vietcong zones,” the black liberation struggle will be tormented by its dependency on the support of the white left. So white radicals are in a coalition with the black struggle —even if the coalition is not recognized formally—simply because we are part of a common dialectic. In the case of the Panthers we will either vindicate their gamble on white support or become evidence of white failure and therefore bolster ‘cultural nationalist” arguments for years to come. It is sufficient to understand and act on the fact that the black colony is a time bomb inside the fragile center of the solonial Mother Country. The eventual detonation of that bomb will wreck a system which dehumanizes all its people, ind it will not leave our lives or social structure intact. If we consider the issue in the framework of colonialism, we can see most clearly what must be done. We can see that the demand for black self-determination cannot be accom- modated by a welfare state which is colonial in its power relations. We can see that the Vietcong started without white support, alienated most Americans, yet are winning their own struggle and contributing immeasurably to ours. We can see that the differences between white and black radicalism are not antagonistic, because our destinies are totally bound together. SUPERMAN VS THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE On Saturday, my plane landed in Laguardia Airport inNew York, covered. take notice of what he had dis- Iv] F WE CONSIDER THE PANTHERS as embryonic Viet- cong in the U.S.,.if we assume that a Vietnamese situa- tion is developing here, it becomes logical to adopt and improve the strategy of the anti-Vietnam war movement and direct it against the aggression at home. First, this would mean recognizing that Bobby Seale and other Panthers should not even be tried in the courts of the present U.S. government. They go to trial only under pro- test. As prisoners of war the Panthers should be freed, not by higher courts, but through negotiations coming about because of public pressure. The slogan ‘Free Huey” must be enlarged to: “Free All Political Prisoners.” Many whites cling to the concept of a “fair trial” for the Panthers be- cause they do not want to accept fully the idea of self- determination for blacks. This leads them to believe they should examine the “‘facts” of Panther court cases before deciding to support the Panthers. But even such a paternal- istic approach would still vindicate the Panthers. In New Haven, for instance, it would reveal that the High Sheriff selected his personal barber and several other “friends and neighbors” for the grand jury which indicted the Panthers. It might even reveal a high-level government plot to frame Bobby and the others. But the most enlightened approach that a white could adopt toward the “facts” would be to dismiss them as irrelevant, as an internal matter of the black colony. This is no different from the issue of “terror” by revolutionaries in Vietnam. All we need to know is that the Panthers, like the NLF, rely on popular support, not on coercion, for their success, and that the colonial invaders rely on massive terror to frighten away that popular support. If white Americans are concerned about the “terror” of the Pan- thers, they should stop police aggression in the ghetto in- stead of condemning black extremists at cocktail parties. Bobby was indicted, not for his supposed role in a killing, but as an effective way to remove him from the streets and scare away support because of the gravity of the charges. Second, we need a nationwide “‘political education class” or “teach-in” as a tactic to create consciousness of this emerging domestic war. It is curious that whites have spoken thousands of times in the Vietnam teach-ins but have done so little to take the issue of the Panthers to the same audiences. The amount of continuing political educa- tion needed cannot be underestimated. Third, taking to the streets against racism and repression can be as important now as it was in the earlier phases of the anti-war movement. The recent strike and massive demonstration in New Haven was the first time that whites have come out in large numbers for the Panthers in a nationally visible way. The national student strike triggered by the Cambodian invasion would not have included the demand to free the Panthers were it not for the initiative of PIG supermen and the brothers from the ‘Universities in the Streets” the New Haven strikers. The trial in Connecticut will con- tinue to create an urgent climate in which effective demon- strations are possible. Plans should be made for demonstra- tions from now through the end of that infernal trial, with the definite objective of freeing the Panthers “by any means necessary.” Where trials are not an immediate focus, the new Justice Department might well be. As a symbol of, centralized evil, it can, serve as a target institution the same way the Pentagon has for the anti-war movement. Fourth, forcing a conflict within the national establish- ment over this question is crucial in order that repression against the Panthers be slowed down. Repression can be foiled in the short run only by creating sharp divisions among America’s powerful elites. The anti-war campaigns of Senate doves were crucial to slowing and sometimes pre- venting military escalation, and they gave respectability to dissent in general. There is of course the danger that such dissent will cool the militant edge of protest, but only in the unlikely event that the Panthers come to rely on the Establishment for their survival. If Ramsey Clark or King- man Brewster wents to become the William Fulbright of our domestic Vietnam crisis, it will be to the benefit of the Panthers and of everyone but the all-out racist aggressors. Fifth, we must initiate international campaigns to brand the U.S. asa criminal and outlaw government. Probably the chief problem facing the American ruling class is not Viet- nam but the survival of the U.S. as a racist nation in the new international scene. American racism is the number one foreign policy problem for this country. Each step of racist aggression further isolates the U.S, in the world; each concession to the blacks for the sake of “national image” only raises the domestic confrontation to a higher level. Using all of its international contacts, the American Left should expose the repression of the Panthers in every con- ference and journal in the world. Finally, we must create a Resistance structure. There will have to be active, extra-legal cooperation between white and black revolutionaries on every front of the struggle. A new underground railroad to protect the fugitives and re- sources of the black colony may become a necessity. This need is likely to become especially real in America, where the black communities are geographically surrounded by whites and where communication and transportation are almost exclusively controlled by whites. The trial of Bobby Seale and the Connecticut Panthers is the best possible point of departure for a new upsurge of white support for black liberation. The government is hap- ing that one bolt of electricity will kill the spirit in all of us. The gag and chains of Chicago were not enough; they are now being replaced by the electric chair. Every sane person has a stake in preventing this maneuver—and it can be pre- vented. Just as our case was turned into a trial of our gen- eration, so can Bobby’s be turned into a symbolic trial of black ar’ ~hite veonle in this country. TEACHERS BEAT CHILDREN AT HOOVER JR. HIGH SCHOOL Anxious to join my comrades, I proceeded down the steps on the plane. As my last foot left the step, 1 was attacked by four of New York's finest pigs. The first pig proceeded to jack my arm up behind my back, While doing this Out of my briefcase they ripped nine copies of The Ideology of the Black Panther Party. They ran through the pages and one of them said, ‘‘This is it.’’ These fools thinking they could rip off a few copies of The Ideo- are proving this all over the country. I write this article to those brothers and sisters at the ter- minal and so-called brothers in the camps of the pigs. Practice is the criteria of truth the other fool took my clothes, tape recorder and briefcase. While being subdued, there were some brothers and sisters who took notice of the unprovoked attack and verbally shot the fascist down. While tearing through my artifacts clumsy,buffoon, bootlicking, er pig called the other pigs to logy of the Black Panther Party, and keep the masses ignorant of the Party's position, joyously jumped up and down as if they had performed some great feat, Three of those swines went out to the terminal with big S’s on their chests. These fascist punks are not and if you are sincere then you'll move to expose those pigs, not only verbally but physically also. It’s is time to COUNTER- ATTACK, ARM YOURSELF OR HARM YOURSELF.

High School start the vicious attacks on the students? Answer ( Deborah) a few motnhs ago during the time the students at Hoover Jr. High were protesting the food, due to the fact that the students were served food with worms in it and that ip was in unfit condition to eat, The girls Vice Principal Lucille Martin called some of the girls into her office and suspended all the young sisters who wer involced in the protest. She is also known to pick on certain students that she personally dislikes and when an in- cident takes place at the school that she doesn’t particularly like then she immediately calls for the stu- dents that she personally dislikes AND CHAINS because she automatically as- sumes that these students were in- a brother named Racine who was jumped on due to the fact that he didn’t have his gym clothes. Mr. Nolan Jackson who is the boys Vice Principal got into an argument with this brother and then at- tacked the brother and hit him in the chest three times, and then knocked him down. The brother was hit so hard that he began to throw up blood, Question: What other teachers of your know- ledge have been known to brutilize Students? Deborah: Mr, Jessee Davis also hits stu- dents mostly young sisters. Mrs, Lucille Martin who is Vice Prin- cipal of the \girls never listens to thestudents, if a student should get into trouble she never listens to us or gives us anytime to ex- Plain anything, Question: Bo you know anything \pertaining to the incident where a student was beat with a metal choke chain?

COLUMBIA AVE. 236-3358 NEW YORK PIG HEADQUARTERS BOMBED June 9, 1970 In the early evening of Monday June 9th, at approximately 6:57 p.m., as the last of the mother country day shift departed from the area which encompasses police headquarters, the county jail (the tombs), city hall, chamber of com- merce, city finance buildings, fed- eral courthouse and other state buildings and structures of do- mestic imperialism and oppres- sion; a loud thundering blast ripped through the headquarters of the N.Y. police department at 240 Cen- ter street, To Black people, this is the only area outside of the occupied Black community which has more pigs per square “foot than any other comparable section of the city, and therefore the masses of brothers and sisters who comprise the Black commu- nity, off the streets, suffering un- der the yoke of doméstic imperial- ism (such as domestic home foreign aid; welfare), guarded by the goons of repression, the racist pig police, view the attack upon their oppressor as a good thing. For any other response would be unnatural, counter-productive and reactionary, or just plain back- wards, The blast was described in the racist media as being ‘‘Giant’’ in nature and sounding like ‘A Thun- derclap’ . Residents in little Italy were quoted as saying ‘‘The whole block was shook’’, Even the pigs got into the descriptive bag: The slick Pig Mayor Lindsay called the righteous attack ‘‘unbe- lievable’’ and sold a wolf ticket to the effect that: ‘‘such acts of violence cannot and will not de tolerated’’, This slick pig be- lieves obviously that the violence of the pigs will be tolerated by the people and progressive rev- olutionary forces. The explosion occurred on the second floor of the old decadent fortress type building which oc- cupies a whole block. The floor where the blast occurred contains the pig department’s public infor- mation offices as well as those of the top pigs in the pig depart- ment, Down the hall (approximately 125 feet from the focus of the blast), is the office of pig chief Leary who is the head pig in N.Y,, and other chief pigs. The fascist police chief inspec- tor George McManus _ stood amidst the debris and vowed a “relentless investigation’. He spoke for all the fascist dogs of the pig department when he swore to investigate this until our dying day. (Which if left to the people will be soon, ) Things haye obvious- ly escalated, for the pigs are open- ly and intentionally talking about increasing and stepping up their repressive efforts under a guise of ‘investigative work’’. The fear of the jackels who preside over oppressed peoples fate, has ex- tended into every corner and nook of the repressive forces’ armed body. The degree to which this is a fact, can be seen in the pigs insane efforts to capture someone, anyone, to blame for the right- eous move against the pigs’ re- pressive ai med forces. We should not try to hide or deny our feelings towards any rev- olutionary act that strikes a blow against the racist jackels who de- humanize and oppress us. It is a desirable condition that would al- leviate our peoples’ oppression, when it takes the form of re- moving the oppressor from the arena of power, and taking away his immunity to the peoples’wrath, by destroying him on all levels, is a good thing. When any action causes the op- pressor or his lackeys to inves- tigate his own ranks, and walk in reactionary fear of the peoples’ forces, we should support that action and not bow to the sensi- bilities of those who condone our peoples repression and murder by their silence or lack of action, Later‘for that. The fact that severe damage to the pigs’ headquarters was ad- ministered and numerous pigs in- jured is a clear ‘indication.that no longer will the jackels who mas- querade as police be safe from the wrath of the people in Babyon, but will receive back that which they for so long have administered to oppressed people. So we say “right on’’ to whoever smashes a blow against the number one enemy of mankind. The more blows, the quicker the liberation of all op- pressed people wherever they are.

Chairman Mao Tse Tung captures the truth of the situation when he points out the unprecedented isola- tion of the Nixon-Pentagon clique. Never before have these criminals been so exposed and isolated as they ave today. And never before has it been so clear that this criminality can only be ended by the people rising up to seize their own destiny from the handfull of willful exploiters and murderers that now have the power in their hands, Coupling a revolutionary call to arms with revolutionary optimism in the assurance of victory, Chairman Mao Tse Tung, the great leader of the Chinese Revolution, hero and tea- ch er” of the revolutionary people of the world, has performed an inval- uable service to all mankind by step- ping forward at this time to renew the people’s indictment of the common enemy of us all--U.S. Fascism and Imperialist Aggression, These coura- geous words of Chairman Mao Tse Tung will give new heart to the peo- ples in their lonely anddifficult strug- gles to throw off the shackles and chains of oppression now being held in place by U.S, Fascism and Im- perialism, Lastly, we wish to point out that only the enemies of the people and those who shirk their revolutionary duties and who are afraid of their own shadows will find fault with Chair- man Mao Tse Tung’s declaration, For our part, we welcome it, because we CONT, FROM PAGE 18 TEACHERS BEAT CHILDREN AT HOOVER J.H.S. QUESTION: How did your parents feel about the invident where the students were heat by the teachers? Deborah; \t first when I had told my Mother about the students being heat and also about my getting hit she didn't believe me untilshe saw ir in the newspaper. I would like to add something else. \ friend of mine named Kathywho is pregnant, had done some- thing that Mrs, Martin didn't like and she was hit with the stick (paddle) Question; What is the paddle? Deborah: Its something like a stick but its very wide and yery thick, 4hix is called the paddle. ; Comment trom Sandy: One day when L was yoing to my locker \Ir. Jckson stopped me and asked me where Twas going, and ft tol d him that | was going to my decker to get my pencils and then [ was coing to class.and he hit me with a chain that he keeps keys on. Leame home and told my mother and she told me to ‘o back to Sehool, When I got to school Mr. Jackson asked me where I had heen and [ told him ‘hat L had went home so then he ist told me to go to my class. then the day after that he he hit me in my chest and then took me to his oofice and hit me with his wooden stick three times, then 1 told him exactly what [ thought of him hitting me with that wooden stick and he suspended me from school. Then one day when Darrell and I sere going somewhere, Mr. facksom called Darrell and Land isked if we had browshr our sym clothes and we told him no and then he told us to undress and that he was sping to paddle us, he hit me twice and Darrell wouldn't let vim hit him so Mr, Jackson erabbed Darrell and threw him put of the chair and on the floor. and hit him in the chest and then hit him in the ley with the paddle, Darrel] do you have anything to add? Darrell: One day when JT was walking One day when Twas walkine down * The Committee Black Panther Party, ARN FA AE A ES a SEN EL AE EE A A AE AE LS AR A A AA EN the hall on the way to my class, Mr. Jackson asked me ‘‘Where was I going , and I told him that I was going to my class, and hesaid “Darrell you're messing up’, and then he swung hos chain atme. and hit me on the leg. After that ( that was the same day that he hit me in my chest and started beating me_ with that stick, he hit me in my chest and knocked me down, so he gave me about 15 paddles. Sandy: Any way that Darrell turned that’s where the paddle would go. Right behind him. question: Do you have any other comments to make regarding Hoover’s teachers and Principals? Deborah: Well, Ince during assembly at school, Mr.Jackson made a state- ment that he was sick because he didn't have any students to beat on And I believe that. Patrucia: And also*the nurse acts as though she doesn’t care about the students, From talking to these students of Hoover J>. Fligh School. We find the inner feeling of the stu- dents regardiny how they feel about the way that they are treat- ed within the schools, llow they are as any human be- ings. If they are mistreated in any manner, the person that mis- ment, courts and media, treats them cannot expect to be repsected, Anytime that a teacher thinks that he or she can be re- thinks that he or she can bruti- lize and mistreat a student andthen expects that student to regard him in a repectful manner is crazy. Anyone who uses tactics as this upon other human being can only be regarded and noticed for the sa- dist that they are . So that if this continues to happen, the students will move in a manner to stop the brutality waged ypon them by the teachers, and no one would be able to justly say that the students would be wrong in moving in a manner to stop someone from hurt- ing them, They would be insane to allow someone to unjustly bruti- lize them without making efforts to defend themselves. Even though these so calledteach- ers now have a file suit against them for their tactics of punish- ment to the students. They were still in the schools just before school closed, and they werehold- ing the same positions, We cannot brutilize our youth and if the courts won't do anything about his then the people themselves must deal with it . At any rate it will be dealt with because we cannot tolerate the brutality waged upon Black people as a whole and we will not let Black sadist get their kicks off our our youth.

Newton Minister of Defense Black Panther Party 1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community. We believe that black peop!e 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 a 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. THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1970 PAGE 21 LL LL ES LSS ES SL OS LS SS Sf | ES SSS ES SSE SS LEE ES SET OS FE FS 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 inte 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 knowl- 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 thay 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 rian’* 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 prineiples, 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. a N) | N | NY | N | N | | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N) | N | N N Fn a Ge a Re Te ce ae LO Sy NOR ry AD aa ee | THE BLACK PANTHER.
