BUT HER SON. 14 YEAR OLD WILLIAM BROWN, STEPPED COURAGEOUSLY IN FRONT OF HIS MOTHER AND RECIEVED 3 soe BALTIMORE, MARYLAND --STORY PAGE 2 oe ee on So THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27,1970 PAGE 2 On June 12, 1970, a Black family was attacked by White racists, in the O’Donald Heights Area, causing blood to be spilled for no other reason than the oppression of Black people by this U.S. ‘‘vacist’? government, which is spilling the bizo0d of people of color throughout the whole world. However, this type of incident is not by far the first of tts nature, It is a historical fact that Black people here in fascist, imperialist America, have suffered from brutality, torture, and murder by White racists all the days of our lives in this nation of death, It is important too, that the broad masses of Baltimore and the world; understand clearly why there is such a great need for the Black Panther Parity and a revolutionary change here in Babylon. Mrs. Katie Wilson, a wi- dow and her two children live in the 1300 block of Stromeyer Way. She was told by her daughter Ca- therine Brown (age 17) that some 15 to 20 White men had jumped on her uncle, Tom, Mrs, Katie rushed to the scene in the 1200 block of Wohler Way Street, bringing her 14 year old son with her. Upon their arrival Mrs. Ka- tie inquired about John, whom the ra- cists had already brutalized. The only response she received was threats, such as you will get the same and etc. She was also pushed about however, Mrs. Katie being a strong woman refused to leave until she had found John the vic- tim that was attacked, and because she refused to leave she was jumped on by these mad barbarians, One of the racists had a car jack in his hand and swung it at Mrs, Ka- tie with a death swing. But her son, 14 year old Willaim Brown, stepped courageously in front of his mother and received the blow just above the temple which could have very easi- ly killed William Brown, blood be- gan gushing from the head of Wil- liam. Willaim was taken in by a neigh- bor. A bottle was thrown at Mrs, Ka- tie, hitting her around the heel, cut- ting the ligaments in the area around her heel, Thus causing her not to be able to walk, somehow she managed to get to the house where her son was, and blood was still running from his head, William passed out four times before the ambulance arrived, ica to."

The pigs tried to make the neigh- bor that let William into his house say that William and his mother forced their way into his house, but he wouldn’t go for it, in other words, these pigs did not come to that troubled area to aid the brother and his mother, but to try and give them a case. The 15 to 20 homosexuals that com- mitted this act made things crystal clear in mind that they were trying to get a vace war started in the O’ Donald Heights Area, These same mad racists have constantly threatened Black people in that area, our women have freedom, ERR EEE EERE REE REE H EDITOR’S APOLOGY sition or attitude of the Black Panther Party, But we do maintain, that there is aneedfor true re- volutionary criticism by and amongst the ranks of all true revolutionaries, Without which wrong ideas, views or opinion would go unchecked and harm thepeoplesjust struggle for liberation and ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

They have also urinated in bottles and thrown the bot- tles at our sisters walking the streets. How long must this type of harass- ment continue. Are we as Black men going to stand by and allow our women to be shamed by White racists with- out lifting a finger to put an end to this madness, or are we going to fight back? For too long we have allowed mad- ness such as I have fore stated to go on without being checked, thus allow- ing the White racists to think that niggers will not defend themselves, At this time I would like to inform the masses of Baltimore and the surround- ing area that the Black Panther Party supports the just struggle of Black peo- ple in the O’Donald Height Area, whole- heartedly and resolutely, Therefore an attack on Black people, not only in O’Donald Heights but throughout this racist nation, will meet with ‘‘Resist- ance’’ and our angry cry for vengeance shall be cold and deadly. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE BLACK PANTHER PARTY Baltimore Chapter John Clark % * % * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * oe (Jerry Lee Amies- Born April,1,1945 Murdered June 20, 1970 ) Early last Saturday ‘morning (June 20th ) Los Angeles pig bullets brutally ripped through the body of Jerry Lee Amie, 25 year old, Another pig killing, gleefully executed by the inhumanmsd- mei who masquerade as our protectors, The pigs alleged their reason for be- there was due to a telephone call (anony- mous, of course ) they received saying that a man = and woman at brother Jerry’s address were fighting, Natural- ly in the best interest of the community two pig units swooped into the area to “‘protect’’ the people from each other, For whatever phony reason, the pigs drove up to the front of Jerry’s house and dramatically hopped out of their cars with guns drawn, Jerry and his sis- ter, Helen, were standing outside, (Be- cause she had just run outside to talk to her brother before going to bed, Helen Amie had on her bed clothes.) Their mother had also just came out to talk to them, When they saw these maniacs with their guns drawn, they immediate- ly began to shout with their hands raised and plead to the dogs not to shoot, They did this knowing that even though they didn’t have any concept as to the reason the pigs were there, as do all Black people, they know the nature of the ‘‘policemen’’, They know they have no rights under the laws of this racist oppressive country, Shouts and pleas were immediately drowned by a harrage of bullets and soon by the blood of 25 year old Jerry Lee Amie, He had been shot over 25 times, head and chest, under his arms, the groin area and even his feet. (The pigs claim they thought Jerry hada gun, After he was murdered, they thought it might hav2 been a water pistol, as they allegedly found pieces of plastic under his body, They claimed that as they THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 3 BROTHER SHOT 25 TIMES IN LOS ANGELES HOME OF THE AIMES, AND SCENE OF THE MURDER OF JERRY AIMES, drove up and got out of their cars with drawn guns and were searching an un- * known woman, who was supposedly part goof the fight and who has since dis- sappeared, Jerry crouched and pointed his water gun at them, How does aman _in a crouched position get shot under his arms?) HELEN AIMES His 21 year old sister , Helen, was lying on the ground next to him, una- ware that he had been shot, because she had tried to take cover, in front of her own house, and in her own com- munity, from this terrorist band, Jercy’s death now reduced the family to 10 living children, Therehad been 12, (Another brother was killed about three months ago), Helen said that they were all so stunned that they could hardly be angry, just hurt, Hurt because Jerry had been the quietest of the Amie child- ren, It was not understandable to aay one . Jerry had not long ag» returned from Viet-Nam, having served three years and received three purple hearts He lived there with most of the others, in the Black house; and he spent most of his time writing. He had never got- ten into any ‘‘trouble’’ and seemed to nothing more than look forward to getting married and ‘‘settling down’’, He used to write about that often, es- pecially when he returned home from the Service. Helen was also upset because at that time (when Jerry was shot) they were supposed to have been in Sacramento, Car trouble on the way had forced them to return back to Los Angeles, In fact when the pigs came they werediscuss- ing picking up the car they ha.l’ 2fi. ov. rhe freeway, Bui none of this could even be thought of, That is ther2 wis no time to feel anything. He‘ea, along with L.C, her oldest brother, and two other brothers were immediately kidnapped and taken to jail, They were soon released, having beea charged with nothing, On their way from home to jail, they sat haadcuff2} } <n the pig cars and watched everyone else in their house being dragged out and thrown onto the ground, The only child in the family who escaped this treatment wus Heien’s three month old son, Kevin, who was left in the house alone, Another funeral in the Black commu- nity to commemorate the fact that the slavery of Black people is real and pre- sent and overt; to remind us that we have no rights which the White rac- ist power structure is bound to re- spect; to remind us and let us know in facts that our rights as human be- ings under the fascist Ame ‘rican Consti- tution are and have been always denied; + to prove that as Huey P. Newton said; ‘An unarmed people are slaves or sub- ject to slavery at any given moment’’, to state emphatically that serving this country’s need overseas has never guarenteed Black people rights as hu- m2n beings at ‘‘Home’’; to add to the 400 year accumulative statistics that spell out genocide of Black people in Babylon, And finally to make us know that it is only the death of all our op- pressors that will clear the air of Babylon of filth; which once cleared will allow the entrance of a new world with new men, And it is only their deaths that will guarantee the total liberation of Black people, “*FOR THE SALVATION, LIBERATION AND FREEDOM OF OURPEOPLE, WE W'ILL .NOT HESITATE TO E{[THER KILL OR DIE! Death To The Pigs Seize The Time BY LIFTING THEIR HANDS AGAINST JE LEE AMIE THEY LIFTED THEIR HANDS AGAINST THE BEST THAT HUMANITY POSSESSES rT PN ATs KK Y THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 4 BLACK MAN RAILROADED 10 GAS CHAMBER—— WINSTON-SALEM, N.C Point No. 9 of the 10-Point Platform and Program of the Pgeck Panther Party states that “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 community as defined by the Con- stitution of the United States."’ We have been and are being tried by all White juries that have no under - standing of the ‘average’ reasoning man of the Blackcommunity, Point No. 8, ‘We want freedom for all Black men held in Federal, State, County and City prisons and jails,"’ We believe that all Black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial. On May 21, 1970, brother Frank- lin Vance a 36-year old Black man of Winston-Salem was sen- tenced to death in the gas chamber by pig judge Walter ‘‘Hog"’ Criss- man for the alleged raping of a 13-year old Black girl, Sister Jan- ices Jones. There has been evi- dence given to show brother Frank- lin Vance’s innocence or his guilt. What we want to do, is expose this racist judiciary system for what it really is, because whether this be a political case or not, ° Franklin Vance’s rights were vio- lated and he was definitely rail- roaded to the gas chamber by eleven White racist southern crac- kers and one very oldanglo-negro which definitely doesn’t make up a jury of Franklin Vance's peers. We, the members of the Na- tional Committee to Combat Fas- esim know that a lot of people get ‘‘uptight’’ when we step forth boldly and demand the immediate SUBSTITUTE ADDICTION The existing drug programs are geared to attack the effect of drug addiction instead of the cause, Be- cause of this, all their actions are geared toward the addict. The addict is made to believe that he is not a man because he was weak minded enough to become addicted to heroin. His ego isdestroyed to the point where he is afraid to make major decisions concern- ing his life, he grows more and more dependent on his counselors and on the program. The result is not rehabilitation for the ad- dict, but a subtle transfer of his dependency on heroin to the pro- gram, a substitute addiction, The programs have what is known as group therapy. This can never be successful because par- ticipants engage in attacks against one another instead of the power structure that allows dope to come into this country. These same cri- minals set up drug rehabilitation programs to keep the covers on their lucrative narcotic opera- tions. Taking this into considera- tiog, the tormented soul of the addict eventually blames himself for his addiction, He doesn't un- derstand that it was pre-planned and that it’s part of a government plan of mass murder, genocide, Being that there is no real basis for rehabilitation, he becomes a slave to some drug center or he'll leave and fall back into the hell release of the Black man even though he has been sentenced to the gas chamber for allegedly raping a little 13-year old Black girl. But we would like to say to the people of the Black community of Winston-Salem andthe Black com- munities throughout Babylon that we recognize that this is a case which involves only Black people but we cannot accept the legiti- macy of the so-called inter- mediaries of the racist judiciary system (the judge and the racist jury), Black people cannot accept the legitimacy of this racist body because to do so we would have to. FRANKLIN VANCE accept this racist dehumanizing decision of these fools. Black peo- ple throughout this country must see this decision as an attack on all Black people and not just on brother Franklin Vance, It is an attempt to strip us of our human dignity and decency because this dehumanizing decision simply means that Franklin Vance is guilty of raping a 13-year old Black sis- ter and therefore he shouldbe pun- IN MANTUA On Sunday June 7, 1970, at about 12;00 noon a young brother by the name of Samuel Lane was sitting on his back steps, relating to the second amendment, which states that the people have ahuman right to bear arms, Samuel was sitting on his back steps clean- ing his piece when two of Rizzo's fascists came along and approached the brother. They told him to hand over the rifle, the brother gave the pig the rifle then one pig grabbed the brother and started to brutalize him, then the pigs threw the brother in the pig wagon and hauled him off to the pig pen, at 39h and Lancaster Avenue. While he was in custody, the pigs went to his home, kicked down the doors with no warrant at all, and entered illegally and tore up the brother’s house searching for more weapons. When they did not find of the cloud of society. From personal experience in prison, I came in contact with peo- ple from the Phoenix House, the Odyssey and many other institu- tions, I was able to see the an- xiety in their lives and saw that these programs did little or nothing to ease their frustrations. There is only one way to stop the plague, and that’s by organi- zing the addict of the block and “THE LUMPEN HAS NO CHOICE @ this racist ished to the full extent because he is not the least bit mentally dis- turbed and therefore is an aver- age reasoning man fromthe Black community and that there is no- thing abnormal about this man be- cause his actions are indicative of the average reasoning man of the Black community, The Black community should see this decision as an attempt to de- numanize all Black people and jus- tify the oppressors enslavement of Black people, to justify keeping us as so-called second-class citizens (in this nowadays and time, second class citizenship simply means that we are twentieth century slaves), This is the very same procedure that the European pigs used to justify taking ‘us Afro- Americans away from Africa, rap- ing our Black women and confining us to the plantation (which now is » called the Black community), The Black community must at all times and by any means neces- sary challenge the legitimacy of judiciary system, we must recognize that the courts are = no longer and haveneverbeen func- tional for Black people, therefore it is high time that we quit re- lating to the courts and take the struggle to the streets, because the streets belong to the people and people will always have self-rule and justice in the streets.

Fat foggoty pig Simek acting on the premises which motivates all racists in this decadent polutted society, i.e., that a Black man has no rights that the White man is bound to respect, stole Gregory's young life from his family and his people. The Black Panther Party says ‘‘An attack against one is an attack against all’, Gregory wasn't murdered by this sick ra- cist pig, because he was young; a preachers son; or because he lived in a middle class neighbor- hood rather than the ghetto, his life was snatched from us because he was an armed Black man and he was a Black man confronting an armed racist pig. This mad demented fool oinked in the face of the people who gathered at the scene that a beer bottle had been thrown at his window. Gregory's family re- lated that the brother had left a family gathering to go to the bar to get a pack of cigerettes, Pig Simek refused to allow him into the bar and came outside and slapped the brother, When he re- turned with two of his uncles to rap to the pig, Simek began shooting . This trigger happy nigger hating racist chased the young brother around the corner of the building and snuffed out his young life. Witnesses to this mur- der say that this foul, depraved racist pig held the brother’s re- latives at Bay with a piece and dared them to come onto the pro- perty to assist the brother as he lay bleeding to death, Pig Simek reportedly is a sup- porter of George Wallace and in 1969 registered with the Cuyahoga County (Ohio ) Board of Elections as treasurer of the American In- dependent Party This racist maggot had no business in the Black community. We say later to capitalists pigs who rob us blind daily and murder our youth at night. OFF THE PIGS! ARM YOURSELF OR HARM YOURSELF!

When Mrs. Allford sued the store for negligence the judge threw the case out of court before the jury brought back a verdict, MRS.

We know that a couple of hundred sh FASCIST COURTS AND RACIST HOSPITALS It is obvious to the people that the courts aren't for us from jump street, it is made for those with money and A & P certainly has enough because they rob us of thou- sands of dollars every day, To further illustrate this point, Mrs. Allford’s lawyer wants her to appeal the case to a higher court. Not only does Mrs. Allford not have enough money to pay the lawyer to do this, she can't even pay dollars is nothing to A & P, where- as it means a limb from Mrs. Allford’s body. Who is right in this case, who is to blame? We Say that A & P mismanagement, racism and total oblivion to Black people’s problems is to blame. DOWN WITH ALL EVIL GENTRY N.C,.C,F,, Winston-Salem Hazel Mack PIGS MACE LITTLE BABY a VICTIM OF PIGS IN ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS On Friday June, 19,1970, mem- bers of Rockfords pig department portrayed their true role with the people, Members of the Rockford Branch of the Black Panther Party noticed a pig, car go flying down our street, we went to the door and observed the car as it screeched to a hault and turned around and sped back up the street stopping at a house directly in front of us, Three more pig cars sped around the corner and they jumped out of the car oinking about ‘inthe house they went in the house’’, the pigs then rushed into the house across the street and barged in. The young sisters there asked the pigs for a search warrant, but the pigs ig- nored them) and began ransacking the house, They came out with the sisters in pursuit, telling the pigs that they had no right to come into the house without asearch warrant One pig became annoyed and struck one of the sisters and this time flarold Bell and inyself crossedthe street while everyone else manned security positions. The pigs had swarmed the sisters when we had reached them. Harold rescued one sister from the pis clutches andJ got another . By now the whole streets were filled with pigs who recognized us as members of the Black Panther Party. The situation was very tense, pigs had drawned their guns we were very aware that those pigs would shoot even with all those people out there, so what we did was calm the sisters down one of whom had heen maced her little baby daughter had been maced ( and broke out in a rash with her face swollen, see pictures) we told the people that these pigs would shoot them and that the best way to deal with an armed fool is to get yourself armed, The girl who Harold had rescued was »placed under arrest, but she re- fused to go unless Harold could ride with her and protect her. This really made the pigs mad, they called for additional help, and we heard on the radio as the pigs dispatcher said ‘‘No more cars available’’, They had sent all the pigs available to Rockford to deal with this situation. The sister and I pulled from the pigs clutches and was not arrested, The people re- cognize that we had: not moved, the pigs would have brutalized those sisters mercilessly. We followed them to jail,to make sure that the pigs did not wry anything crazy with either Harold or the people arrested, In all three peo- ple were arrested, and we later found out that all of this started over a stolen bottle of pop. We pointed out to the people on the street the extent and extremes pigs would go to in order topro- tect property. The family of these sister have given the Party full consent to move in whatever man- ner necessary to inform the people and prepare arightful vengence for the pigs, the incaders,the aliens in our community who occupy it without respect for us as people, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE WELFARE PIG The Blatk Panther Party and Wilmea Morrisey consider it an emergency when someone has no where to stay and no money! We think it’s a shame when people get put out oftheirhouses by pigs and have to turn to pigs for help. A pig doesn’t care, a pig en- forces laws that hurt people. This is why the people have called the people who work in Welfare Agen- cies pigs. Wilmea Morrisey, seven months pregant with her five year old son, was put out by a deranged woman, She was left with nothing in her pockets or anywhere to Stay. She went down to her Welfare Center and was sent downtown to Emergency Welfare, at 250Church Street, The name of this jive organi- zation is Social Services Emer- gency Welfare under the direc- tions of a Black lackey pig, Mr. Grey. Mr. Grey is one of the few GROES"’ left who hada choice in his line of work between really helping people or helping the pigs hurt the people, and get paid for it. Mr. Grey picked the latter because he’s a negro and iden- tifies more with the White power Structure, than with the ‘‘strug- gle’’ for Black people. Mr, Grey is a lackey and pig for personal gratification and financial reasons, He’s a sadist who's getting his thrills off of the people suffering. Wilmea Morrisey speaks to the man at the receptionist desk, she tells him what has happened so * Five shots rang out of the dark from a speeding car leay- ing one pig dead and the others scared as hell on the night of June l, about 1:30am. Pig George Lowe, a low natured beast running amuck in the Black com- munity was parked on the corner of 138th and Washington boozing it up, when he met his fate. The fool pig has been on the pig force for nine years oinking and brutalizing the people. He was suspended from the force on June 21, 1963 for ne- glect of duty and conduct unbecom- ing as an officer, which means he didn’t harass people as much as the other fascist on the force do. The pigs have always tried to maintainan image of being indes- tructable, But we brothers and sisters off the block who are tearing down this invincible image, these kinds of victories for the people show us that the pigs in the power structure are not super pigs, This buffoon, George Lowe, had THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 5 REVOLUTIONARY EXAMPLE attacked brother Willie Gordy earlier that night. The brothers who offed fascist George Lowe in defense of the Black community showed us through their example the correct means of resisting the power structure, Willie Gordy, Danny Dilworth, and Crashy Morris are being held by a bunch of foul animals who are seeking revenge for their lost hed buddie. To the revolutionary brothers who offed pig Lowe, we say ‘Right On’’, and to the rest of the pigs still running amuck, we say ‘‘Death to you’’. “The racist dog policeman must withdraw immediately from our Black community, cease their wna- ton murder and brutality and tor- ture of Black people or face the wrath of the armed people. Huey P, Newton Fred Hampton Community Information Center Gary, Indiana LATEST FORM OF GENOCIDE PENNSYLVANIA STYLE The local government with the backing and assistance of Pig Gov- ernement Raymond Shafer has de- cided in advance to murder 100, 000 people of Pennsylvania, The method that they plan to use is the 75% cutback in the General As- sistance Fund, Pig Shafer initiated that cut back in his budget. The following people will be affected by these cuts: Old people, not old enough to receive pensions, handicapped people, single men and women who cannot work. The cut back goes into effect, July 1, 1970, Shafer and his lackeys willpock- et over $104.00 from every person who now receives General Assis- tance. This is how it works, the people are now receiving $69.00 every two weeks, a total of $138.00 per month, if the cutback is al- lowed to go into effect will only receive $34.50 per month! This money is supposed to pay rent, buy food and take care of all the other needs that poor people are suppose to cope with. Hell! the ininimum rent in the urban cities of Pennsylvania start at $50.00 a month, If this cut back is sanc- tioned by the fascist greedy gov- ernmental agencies , people in Pennsylvania ,especially Black peo- ple will die of starvation} And the greedy opportunistic politicians will haye once again scored a victory on their behalf. (at the expense of poor Black and other oppressed people), We cannot sit back and allow this cut back to occur in the General Assistance, If we do this the pigs will only take it to ahigh- er level and cut off the total funds alloted to Mothers and Children, At this stage we must counter at- tack this fascist move. The case- workers have joined the people in their struggle. We will Counter attack! This is the final slap in the face, The last act of aggres~ sion that the pigs can try to pull over on the people. If the cut back goes through, Pennsylvania will to- tally be destroyed and all the fas- cist pigs will die. ALL POWER TQ THE PEOPLE! Philadelphia Branch Black Panther Party far. He tells her we don't usually speak to Emergency Cases, unless preceded by a letter or phone call from your Welfare Center (pre-planned EMERGENCY), Re- alizing right away that this man was out of his mind, we went to the highest level of madness in this Welfare Center--Mr. Grey. We started this interview by get- ting things clear, We asked ques- tions to see if we were in the right place, and if this was where they helped EMERGENCY CASES, When Mr. Grey (lackey) said yes to all these questons, we thought well we're finally getting some- where, So we told him how the sister had no place to stay, no Place to go and no money for her or her child to eat. Mr. grey sympathized, and said, ‘‘I’m sorry there's nothing I can do, we don't have any rules or regulations to deal with cases like this had been dealt with before.’’ Mr. (lackey) Grey shuffled papers, and looked everywhere but inthe sister's eyes and oinked, ‘‘We allow them to sleep on the metal chairs in the waiting room,”’ (if you can stand the noise), At this same minute a woman walked in, Joan Cap- Picello, who had the same pro- blem three days ago, and couldn't stand the noise. She had been sleep- ing in the park and got assaulted, This is when we asked the fool, what Welfare considered anemer- gency, when a woman has no place to sleep, sleeps in a park and gets assaulted, a seven month pregnant sister and her five year old has no place to stay and is forced to sleep on four or five metal chairs? What is an EMER- GENCY? HE COULDN'T ANSWER, The pigs gave Mr. (lackey)Grey a whole bunch of rules governing people’s lives, which he forces on the people, None of these rules are able to relate to the problems Black people have. The Black Bad Housing A pig, is a pig, is a pig. These landlord pigs are just as bad as the pig cops, You see, a pig is judged by his practice, by his dealings with the people. A pig cop comes in our community and brutalizes and terrorizes us. The pig landlord owns our community and with his undecent housing is as much a threat to our life as the trigger happy pig. One of these greedy foul-mouthed pigs agencies is Kellogg Realty Corp. This is a slumlord under the dirty work of a Charles Garcia. When { say this man is a slumlord, I mean it, The regular low-down pig land- lord has houses in the Black com- munity that he makes people pay rent on, houses he wouldn't al- low his dog to live in. But this Kellogg Realty is really outside with his madness, he has houses with no water, heat, windows, rats, holes in the wall and falling ceil- ings, and expects people to pay rent for it. Well, needless to say the people weren’t going to live there and pay rent also. This is where the similarity in pigs comes out. A pig police tires to keep you from gaining your freedom by using terror, he marches through the community with his .38 special and club and dares anyone to step outside of the houndaries the pigs have set for them. The pig landlord works under the same brainwave, he threatens to put you out if you don’t live there and obey all of the rules he has set down and pay rent. Notice another, similarity both pigs are bold enough to be in the Black community talking madness, © This landlord pig, Charles Garcia, followed the reg- ular tactics of landlord pigs and also threatened to put people out, He also put ads in the paper say- ing that their apartments were for rent when people were still living there, The conditions these houses were in, the people didn’t care if he put them out, they had de- cided to struggle until either everyone got put out or the house got fixed up, He even sent 72 hour eviction notices to people, These are clearly justopenacts of terrorism; to scare the people into moving because they were no longer any good to him since they weren't paying rent. But the people are no longer going to al- low themselves to be usedto make money, Mr, Charles Garcia of Kellogg Realty doesn’t think you can come and jive over the ten- ants of Kelly Street anymore. The people have taken these houses over and will work together to see that they get fixed up and stay clean, We are going to implement Point No, 4 of our Party’s Platform and Program by any means necessary, SEIZE THE LANDI BLACK PANTHER PARTY Durie Bethea isin} Panther Party is calling the Direc- seshesieskesk Sea skohskestesteste tor, Mr. Grey a pig because he has sat by and allowed the people to be messed over by some rules and regulations, We say this man is a pig because he has allowed the ‘Bread and Butter’’ of some Black peoples lives to be regulated by pigs while he has not opened his mouth to stop the madness, Mr. Grey, like the pigs who make these rules, which don’t serve or help the people.

RRR REE Fcc enkoiekickekekk THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 6 PEACE AND WAR On the. corner of 117th street and Madison Avenue, the people de- cided to paint a sign on the wall of the run down, rat infested build- ing. The sign has the words love and peace on it and drawings of little children playing, The people of Harlem, like most human beings have a deep and human love, and’ have ironically wrote up onthe side of that shell of a building for allto see. But no one heard their cries. This moved the community to go for themselves and they decidedto move on two problems which are closely related. First, the people of the Grant Community Center orga- nized people from the community for a demonstration date at 116th street and Lenox Avenue. Enough people came out to close off the whole block. The people linked arms and chanted, ‘‘No more dope save our children from genocide’’. Although drunken pig cops, like Lt. Boxley (who is Black ) of the 6th division, threatened and harassed the people demonstrating, no major outburst occured, The people decided to have a vigil during the night and tocontinue the demonstration until the next day. In the meantime the pig police of Brooklyn moved on the rights of a brother named, Fi who is in the Young Lords Party, Minister of Finance, At 1:30, Sunday morning che forces of oppression swooped down on the brothers apartment and kidnapped him under the cover of darkness. Having done their dir- ty work.They went about the job of framing Fi on charges of rob- bery, assault, and kidnap, Early in the morning Harlem awoke, the rats were still there the stench remained as strong as ever, but something was different about the feeling, about the people. On the eastside the people were very uptight about the fact that Fi was in prison and had agreed to come to the rally the Young Lords Party had set up in front of the people’s church for 6 p.m. On the Westside concerned ghetto residents were determined to endthe White heroine plague and understood that the only way to do this was by ed- ucating the community, This meant reaching the people. So they de- cided to have a march from 6th street to 155th street, and back again for another rally, which would also begin around 6:00. The march went on as planned, with the participants stopping from time to time giving out information to the adults, and icecream to the children. In time the people turned around and the marchers (whose numbers had grown) went back to the start of their demonstration, 6th street and Lenox Avenue. On the Eastside the rally for Fi had turned into a march down llth street towards the East river. About 1,000 people from different parts of Harlem organizations, what have you, were participating showing unity in struggle and de- manding an immediate end to the unsafe inhuman tactics used by the police. Two groups of people, both of them in love with life. They felt it so much that they came toge- ther to demonstrate against those who are trying to trample on what little they~have left. No one can say that the people were not con- cerned with riots, only with orga- nizing themselves, But this was enough for the pigs, the idea of people organizing around the pro- blems, terrifies them because they know that the people will come to know who the enemy is and will pay him back in his own coin, So the pigs under the direction of the Pentagon, decided to stop people from organizing right then. THE STRUGGLE WAS LAUNCHED IN THE STREET Phones began to ring in an instant both helmeted, foot batallions and vehicles units were dispatched from the T.P.F., S.E.S. the 1,2, 3,4,5,23,24, and 25th precincts. At about 6:30 the order came from tne central headquarters over all call stations, to put the niggers and spics back in their places send them back to the death trapped disease ridden tenements and keep them there. It was clear to them what they had to do. They certainly weren't going to ask the people to go home, there is only one other way, the organized for- ces of repression did their thing. On the Eastside , the pigs snatched a Young Lord Field Marshall, David Perez. The people protested andthe pigs broke wild. On the Westside the pig po- lice began to hassle the demonstra- tors. A scuffle broke out between a demonstrator and the pigs. Following a carbon copyrepetition of the scene on the Eastside. The pigs broke loose on the people. At this pont, there wasno sep- aration or differences between the struggle of community people against police state repression, The two struggles were combined in one and the fuse of oppression, brutality pain and fear that the pigs have attached to the people's bomb. blew up in their face, releasing the high explosive of the people's will to be free from brutality and exploitation, The all powerful in- gredient of the people’s bomb is resistance:, The struggle was launched in the street. Stores who have long exploited the people were de- stroyed and the people took goods from them, but you can’t call it looting, because the people were taking what was rightfully theirs. One pig car was completely wrecked, At this point the pigs began to yield under the superior force of arms, the force of the gun. The devils missionaries opened fire, about ten people were wounded, one Puerto Rican bro- ther was shot to death on 112th street and 3rd Avenue, The people from the community brothers and sisters off the block. Both Black and Puerto Rican saw it happen, They saw a Puerto Rican man shot six times in the back, murdered in cold blood. That wasn’t printed in the news, but its in the people’s news, it will be the first line of the in- dictment that the people level at the pigs for war crimes of the summer of 1970 in New York. The pigs wantonly moved on the com- munity, stampeding andbeating the people like they were cattle. Women and children were beat, stomped on, people were being snatched off the streets, beaten and stuffed into paddywagons, at unbelievable rates, The people be- gan to leave the streets rather than face certain death. The time is now 12:00 p.m., June 19h, the streets are com- pletely occupied by pig police in helmets walking in fours, buses filled with pig police detachments and paddy wagons, We even saw sanitation vehicles with pigs des- guised as workers , (an easy ob- servation, Since we never Saw sanitation trucks in the ghetto), On 6th street and Lenox Ave., four pigs from 25th precinct walked up to five brothers to get off the corner. He grabs one bro- ther and frisks him and pushes him into a prowl car, #1185. Fear, doubt open terror, its the same scene all over, the same story of an occupied community. Four T.P.F.’s stand looking , watchfully for rioters on 125th Street, Three Black youth came down the street, hanging on the side of a bus driving down a street with much traffic, there should be a concerned yell of *‘ Get down from there"’, would be in order, but they can;t give a warning to three little boys which might have saved their lives, The police are protecting us to death, There’s a sign on the wall of a building of 117th street, and Ma- dison Ave., it depicts love and peace, But for the people of Har- lem, there can be no love and peace without revolution, Untilthen we can only love the pieces that keep us alive. We must save ourselves from extermination. To rebel in the streets in large numbers is to be railroaded in a small block and shot down. To move at night in two’s and three’s, with guns at your side, is to taste the victory that one has when the slave kills the slavemaster and frees him self, ORGANIZE SELF DEFENSE GROUPS Jamal N.Y, 21 THE SKY’S THE LIMIT Lance Bell, a Black man, bro- ther off the block, servant of the people, revolutionary, is facing the electric chair on trumped up char- ges stemming from the November 13th raid on Chicago's Black com- munity by Daley's gestapo occu- pational forces. This raid resulted in the killing of two pigs, wounding nine others (including the loss of one’s eye) and injuring; numbers of others, This raid also resulted in the murder of our beautiful revolu- tionary brother Spurgeon ‘*Jake’’ Winters who perpetuated the above action ending in the incarceration of Lance Bell. On December 24th there was a so-called investigation into this raid on the Black community in which the pigs ruled Jake's mur- der ‘‘justifiable homicide’’ (there is no justification) and that their colleagues were killed by Jake’s shotgun, Why then is Lance Bell being charged with the murder of these two pigs and numerous other char- ges? Why, because Lance Bell hap- pened to be on the scene when the gestapo occupational forces raided the Black community. Lance Bell would say, when you tell the people about my case and all the trumped up charges facing me, it’s not necessary to sayl was a servant of the people, it’s not ne- _ cessary to say that I am a be- liever of the Black Panther Party ideology of self-defense, it’s not even necessary to say I am a rey- olutionary but tell them [I am a Black man and that the price for being a man under an oppressive, ‘capitalistic fascist system such as this is harassment, exile, jail and quite often death, Tellthem not to worry about these things as the cost of manhood but tell them to worry about them as the cost of liberation. Lance Bell happened to be all of these things, Black, poor, op- pressed, servant of the people, revolutionary, and all these things gave the fancy frolicking fascists more than enough ‘‘justification’’ to attempt to end his life. But we, the people, this beautiful bro- ther was serving before he was kidnapped and so rudely inter- rupted from his work, must moye in a manner to set this brother and all political prisoners free. We must understand that Lance Bell is in jail and facing the electric chair, because we have hesitated to support such programs as Decentralization of the Police Department, Because we have not taken the initiative such as Jake Winters on November 13, as four brothers from the community who recently ambushed two pigs to make Point No, 7 of the Black Pan- ther Party's 10-Point Platform and Program, ‘‘We want an imme- diate end to police brutality and murder of Black people.'’ The sec- ond Amendment to the Constitu- tion of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therfore, believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense. To stand up as an individual it is possible to accomplish some- thing. To stand up as a few indi- viduals it is possible to accom- plish more, But to stand up to- gether, as a whole, we can get it all, complete satisfaction. We must move together as a whole, We must get together to save the life of Lance Bell and all others like him who are only guilty in the eyes of the fascist regime whose only ‘crimes’ were being Black, serving the people and be- lieving and moving in the direc- tion of liberation for all poor, oppressed people. Not only will we turn the lights out for days if the fascists’ at- tempt to fry Chairman Bobby Seale, we will stop time and bring Baby- lon down to the ground if the fas- cists attempt to murder any of our revolutionary brothers and sisters in the electric chair. We know fear of the electric chair or anything else cannot stop the people’s just struggle for lib- eration, And knowing this, we re- alize that Chairman Bobby Seale, Lance Bell, Chip Romain and no- body will be allowed to die in the gas chamber or electric chair, We must move in a manner to see that all political prison- ers are set free and if that don’t get it, we'll bring down the sky ‘because we have always under- stood...’ THE SKY IS THE LIMIT BLACK PANTHER PARTY Illinois Chapter Cheryl Peterson THE LATEST TO MASK THE MURDER OF DEPUTY CHAIRMAN FRED HAMPTON AND MARK CLARK: In view of all the facts and weighing all the evidence that was presented to the people, it is evi- dent, even to a fool, that Deputy Chairman Fred and Defense Cap- tain Mark Clark were murdered. We all know that it was a ‘‘pre- meditated’’ planned assault a search and destroy’’ mission. Futhermore to view the throw- ing out of court, for lack of ev- idence, the trial of the seven survivors of the raid, after maim- ing for life. Verlina Brewer and Brenda Ha-ris two strong and cou~ rageous Black sisters, and the attempt by the power structure to also murder Ronald ‘‘Doc’’ Satche! (Deputy Minister of Health) and Blair Anderson and the manic way that Harold Bel! and Lonis Truelock were beaten; and the bru- tal way that Deborah Johnson ( eight months pregnant at the time) was treated, The tatest attempt to mask the murder, to smokescreen the at- tack, was to drop the cha-zes against the seven and to tell then that they are free to go and that they committed no crimes. This sly evasive action spells out ia big letters, that those pigs mur- dered fred Hampton. and Mark Clark, How canwe view tha re- lease of the Seven as anything else. The Sevo4 wore released because they comtniite? no crime period, It can be no othar wiy that ‘he people know and understand ‘nis Pigs we accept no apology for your murders {01 cannot release the Seven and tell us that theyare not guilty and expect us to forget. If a man has put a knife in my back and after 450 years starts to slowly pull it out, surely he cannot expect me to thank him. We see the power of the people as one force that the pigs cannot deal with, The people in the in- quest ruled the Seven not guilty and those pigs guilty of murdering Fred and Mark, This was decided by a court witha jury of our peers. And now those!!MegaloManiacs’ in the justicedepartmentaretry- ing to get the Seven to testify before a jive federal grand jury, made up of decrepit old men, boot licking knee grows andifools, Again they aré hatchinga plot for a le- gal massacre! If they can getthe Seven to testify, then Hanrahan can see exactly what information they haye and then he can reinstate the charges and jam the seven. But Harahan , your plot is nothing but a phony wet dream, ergated by your warped fascist mind, Because number eight of the Black Panther Party's Platform and Program says that ‘‘We want all Black men when brought to. trial to be tried by a jury of their peer group or people from the Black community as defined in the Constitution of the United States'’. Jimmie Brewton “‘The lumpenproletariat are ali those who have no secure rela- tionship or vested interest in the means of production and the in- stitutions of capitalist society. That part of the “industrial army” held perpetually in reserve; who have never worked and never will; who can’t find a job; who are un- skilled and unfit; who have been displaced by machines, auto- mation, and cybernation and were never “‘retrained or invested with skills’, all those on welfare or receiving aid, Also the so-called ‘‘criminal element’’, those who live by their wits, existing off that which they rip off, who stick guns in the faces of the businessmen and say “stick "em up” or “‘give it up’’! Those who simply have been locked out of the economy and robbed of their social heritage.’’ Excerpt from ‘‘THE IDEOLOGY OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY BY ELDRIDGE CLEAVER, MINISTER OF INFORMATION .Those who are oppressed the most will fight first and fight the hardest. The lumpenproletariat are the most oppressed segment of Amer- ican society. The lumpen burned Watts and Detroit. The lumpen is who Huey P. Newton remolded from a seemingly hopeless situa- tion into an effective educational body and an elite fighting force-- the Black Panther Party--the Van- guard of the struggle here in Baby- lon. We, the lumpen, understand why prisons are full of our innocent brothers; we understand through our practice the nature of the beast and we go about the task of deal- ing with it--by any means neces- nigga. These tactics are a direct top pigs of the Pentagon. THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 7 PENTAGON VS THE LUMPEN erized, old concentration camps days. The sad irony of both the result of extensive planning by the have been renovated and new ones cultural nationalists and the Black have been built. So this strategy hy il Hi Hl | yon in THE LUMPEN First came the pacification pro- grams--government aid to niggas *in the streets; a token amount of money to the poor Black dis- enchanted youths who burn down the symbols of those who oppress them, those who are the raw ma- terial for violent revolution; token monies that gave the Pentagon time to re-evaluate its strategy to con- trol the streets; that gave them - THE PENTAGON Unlike the so-called “middle class Negro’’, we do not dream abstract dreams that we will be allowed to share in the wealth of America; we will not compromise with those who lock us up and kill us, Many tactics have been used by this government to break the fight- ing spirit of the lumpen--the street time to train the Army, the Na- tional Guard and the local gestapo policeman to effectively deal with the lumpen. This has been done in most major cities. Pig forces have qua- drupled, their weapons are the same as those used in Vietnam, communications are computer- ized, niggas names are comput- of pacifying the potential revolu- tionary forces in the Black com- munity gave them time to organ- ize physical elements of the reac- tionary pig forces of America, As’ people began plans were implemented, cultural nationalism and Black capital- ism--both working hand-in-hand t rechannel the energies of the lum- pen and those disenchanted ele- ments in the so-called ‘‘Black mid- dle class’’, On one hand dealing a counter-revolutionary doctrine of stagnation, Driving the idea of developing a consciousness or awareness of being Black, think- ing Black, wearing Black, talking like Black people 5,000 miles a- way, Singing the songs of Africa and directing this Black culture and Black racial hatred into a driv- ing force that will penetrate the mainstream of production, forcing the capitalist to share the pie with them, setting up ‘‘Black’’ busi- nesses thatwill only relate to the same old trip of exploiting Black people, Giving niggas, and I re- peat, niggas, a false solution to the problem; a program that will set up tyrants with a lust for power just as the Rockefellers, the J.P. Morgans, and the Henry Fords. Niggas like Ron Karenga, who would like to be the'‘King of a Black Nation’, But in reality he is the ‘‘King of Fools’’, He is a manipulator of Black minds, keeping the gun out of the hands of our people. He is a manipu- lator that is being manipulated by to see the treachery of this plan, two more capitalist is that the pigs are plan- ning to deal with them both as soon as they deal with the lumpen niggas who are the backbone of the fighting spirit in the Black colony, while these false prophets and greedy Black lackeys confuse and divide and mislead our people-- DRUGS--mind and body death-- dealing substances that areusedin every revolutionary movement on earth for the purpose of sup- pressing insurgents and their com munities, physically and politically as well as morally. Hard drugs and escessive alcohol cut into nu- trition and helps destroy a rev- olution. In our situation, the Pentagon who controls the guns, who arethe Super pigs, who direct the local pigs have conspired on the one hand with local pigs for a certain period of time to allow the flow of narcotics to flow freely in the Black community only busting periodically the small time pusher and occassionally a big time push- er who gets out of line. On the other hand they conspired with the Mafia--allowing them the freedom of bringing in large quantities of narcotics to sell to Black people. Just look in the last three years at the upsurge of drugs in your own community. The Mafia and the government works hand-in- hand in every war because of their power to disrupt the needed organ- ization and cooperation .of those who own and operate or influence those facilities in this society that controls this economy. So the situation is that the Pentagon and one of its running dogs are imple- menting a program that is de- signed to kill our youth, to fog our revolutionary spirit and sap © our revolutionary strength. As it stands now a large seg- ment of the lumpen are on drugs and really don’t know why... «Those lumpen who are seriously organizing -- the Pen- tagon has a law--the McCarran Act, which is designedto suppress and destroy all organized revolu- tionaries and all potential revolu- tionaries in general. That’s when the barbed wire will be at your corner, passes will be in your hand and bayonets in your faces. That's when concentration camps will be filled with the lumpen. Once the Pentagon has success- fully rippedoff the hard core fight- ers, our backbone, the lumpen, it will be a clear road to destroy niggas, all niggas in general. And--this is where the reac- tionary right-wing, para-military, racist organizations, such as the Minutemen, Ku Klux Klan, the American Nazi Party, etc., will vanguard all these flag-waving ra- cist patriots to wage a ‘‘holy war’’ on niggas, Just as they did the Jews and the Indians. They will lay a foundation for a genocide that will make Hitler look like a baby. Once Black people are faced with death everyday, know- none other than the Pentagon, Black ing that their backbone the ‘‘lum- capitalism is just the opposite, instead of trying to be ‘‘Black’’, niggas try to be White, try to be- come an oreo cookie, Doing the same treacherous act of achieving power by manipulation and exploi- tation of their own peole. Neither has any room for the lumpen, especially those they cannot fool or manipulate. So at certain levels, both the cultural nationalists and the Black capitalists will have to move on the lumpen the same way as the White bourgeoisie does now--oppression calls for resist- ance whether your oppressor is Black or White, resistance calls for pigs--and there seems tobe no problem getting Black pigs these pen’’ are gone because they did not ~ defend them, their fighting spirit will be successfully broken and the will to struggle will be smashed to bits by hope- lessness--only the will to live, no matter how dehumanized they become, will be left. That will be the final mindbuster--The next trip will be the gas chambers or is this still a fable in your minds‘ DARE TO STRUGGLE, DARE TO WIN! BLACK PANTHER PARTY Colorado Chapter Michael D, OPEN LETTER 10 THE SO — CALLED ""UNOPPRESSED BLACKS"’ Today in America. there exists masses of Black people who are relating to the ideology and prac- tice of the Black Panther Party, who understand the uncompromis- ing necessity for armedresistance against this racist power struc- ture. These Black people haven't had any great difficulty under- standing an ideology based on the historical experience of niggers in America because they're them- selves the living legacy of 400 years of racist oppression, | am talking about street niggers, the brothers and sisters off the block, of the Black urban proletariat. Yet in my past periods of ig- norance I knew these same people as something else: Hardheads, gasheads, rowdies, thugs and yes niggers. This is an important point because today with the rising level of repression of Black people and the efforts, guided by the Black Panther Party, to resist this mass murder, there are too many Black people who see their own people through the eyes of the oppressor. These Black people who stillrelate to the demagogy of the slave- masters who are foremostly what is called the Black middle class, the Black bourgeoisie, the honor niggers. This was the arena in which I existed, but political conscious- ness showed me that I was, and too many still are House Niggers. The niggers who have historically blocked and/or co-opted the goals and aspirations of the vast ma- jority of Black people for the sake of a few crumbs from the pigs’ table, The never ending vacilla- tion of house niggers over the “‘question’’ (there is none) of the armed salvation of Black people has moved more and more of them to become a part of the problem. The increasing genocidal prepa- rations for Black people with the Black Panther Party as the cen- ter, is paralleled by an increase in the patriotism shown by certain groups of Black people. This is not a coincidence. Because of the degree of indoctrination and their own bootlicking willingness to re- late to this demagogy, many Black people are aligning themselves with enemies of the people, or just as bad, are remaining pacified in their social position, They see the mounting brutality and mur- der as something all powerful and - not to be messed with for fear of just that: Brutality and murder, It must be understood that this rising tide of fascism is the spasms of a dying capitalism, but is nev- ertheless highly organized and in- creasingly efficient. This is exact- ly why all Black people must under- stand the basis for the Black Pan- ther Party and support its ideology and programs. This includes West Los Angeles, Park Hill, Denver’ and all the centers of the so-called “Black Unoppressed’”’. This racist power structure has proven time and again that anigger is a nigger, is a nigger. Your own survival demands that you see through your own pretty exist- ence and come around to a new understanding \ of yourselves and our peoples/You ‘must.arm your- selves ideologically and techno- logically to become a part of what Bldridge Cleaver calls the *‘Black Hydrogen Bomb’’, This bomb is our only defense against what the pigs have planned for all of us, Remember, if you aren’t ready to be a bad nigger, the pigs are ready to make you a “‘good"’ nig- ger, just like they did the Indians when they had no use for them.

WELFARE We heard about the cutback in Welfare checks in March of 1969, By July of that year when the cut- back came, we already had inmo- tion the clothing drive, We had al- ready started aplan where the peo- ple wouldn't have to suffer much because of the pigs greed and stin- giness in giving back money they stole from us earlier in the year. While handing out the clothes we explained to the people how and where the money in Welfare checks came from, We tried to make them see that the governement wasn't doing us any favor they were just returning part of what they stole earlier, and giving us a hard time about returning it, We went to mer- chants in the area and told them to return part of the money they stole by overcharging us or give us some clothes to clothe our children, By the time school opened we were able to have a large clothing drive and give clothing and school sup- plies to over 4,000 families. All year long we had clothing drives to keep our children and families dressed well enough to goto school and work, This year we are again being played with by the Welfare. This fascist government is trying to make us forget where the problem is by sending our kids away to summer camps. But the question comes up again and again how can we send our children away to a summer camp if they don't have any summer clothes? Since the clothing allotment Welfare Recip- ients have received no money for clothes, So the clothes that they bought when they were receiving money are worn out after a year, The pigs in the Department of Social Services is playing upon and aggravating our situation hy providing spaces for our children at summer camps with one hand and taking it away with the other by not providing the money for summer clothes, The pigs in the Department of Social Services ( Welfare ) didn’t really want our children to go away this summer, that’s why they made a trick like this. We believe that the yovern- ment owes us money, and as much money and services that they of- fer the people we believe that the people should turn it around to be- nefit them and use it. This govern- ment will not give you anything to benefit you unless it benefits them more, so check out any of the fa- vors the government says its doing for you. The Black Panther Party is going to give all the clothes it gets to the Welfare Mors so they can send their kids away this sum- mer, We (Black Panther Party) are aware of what a struggle it is on Welfare, we know how hard its been since the cutback in the checks. So we're going to inten- sify our struggle and get as many clothes as we can. But while we’re trying to help meet the basic needs of the people by getting as much clothes as we can, We also know that anything involving the government money and people, the people are going to yetfuckedover but we realize that the government is not going to give us more money will not give us more clothing. and therefore will not allow us to live as human beings. As long as the government is in charge of Black people getting money, we will not live as human beings. Welfare be- fore the clothing cut-back in 1969 was a struggle, it was impossible to make ends meet, Now with the cut its even harder. But we have programs that we designed to step in where the pigS stepped out.We have the breakfast program , cloth- ing drive, Free Medical Clinics, and liberation schools where we serve lunch and teach why things like this are happening. The only way to-stop the people from get- ting treated like this is to change whatever it is thats making them get treated like this, And this is a clear example of whats happening to people and whose doing it. The pigs in the government are doing it and its those same pigs that have to be removed from their position. We must have people in charge of our government business who care about the people.

Bernice Jones LONNIE McLUCAS CONNECTICUT 9 PANTHER POLITICAL By SUE DEVLIN NEW HAVEN, June 15 — “Lonnie thinks that it is un- just for him to be tried sep- arately and I also think that it is unjust,”’ said Mrs. Mildred McLucas, mother of Black Panther Captain Lonnie Mclucas. McLucas, who was severed by prosecution motion from eight other Black Panther defendants including Panther National chair- man Bobby Seale, is scheduled to go on trial tomorrow on charges of kidnaping resulting in death. “Lonnie said that they want to try him first in order to get the others convicted,”” Mrs. McLucas said, several hours after a visit to her son at Litchfield State prison. Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie McLucas, Sr., had traveled from Wade, N. C., for the one-hour visit with their son that prison regulations allow them. McLucas and the eight other Panthers face the electric chair for their alleged involvement in the death of Alex Rackley, a Pan- ther from New York City. Rack- ley’s body was found in a Middle- field, Conn., swamp May 21, 1969, and police allege that he was executed by Panthers who, they said, believed him to be a police ’ informer. Panthers charge that Rackley was ‘‘a member in good standing murdered by the pigs in an at- tempt to frame the Black Panther Party.” McLucas is one of three ac- cused of actually having been present when Rackley was shot. The other two, Warren Kimbro and George Sams Jr., have en- tered pleas of guilty of second de- gree murder. ‘Mental defective’ Sams, whose statement to po- lice was the only evidence for the arrest of Seale and McLucas. has a long history of confinement for mental disorders and has been classified as a “‘mental defective." Kimbro, who according to his first attorney had intended to plead innocent, changed his plea to guilty of second degree murder. after a visit from his brother. a police officer in Florida. A guilty verdict against McLu- cas would lay the groundwork for a death sentence for all nine Pan- thers who have entered pleas of innocent. At the Bridgeport headquar- ters of the National Committee to Combat Fascism (NCCF), a Pan- “ & LONNIE MC LUCAS PRISONER ther support group, I spoke with Lonnie McLucas’ family; his moth- er Mildred McLucas, his father, Lonnie McLucas, Sr., and his younger sister, Mrs. Barbara Thompson who had just returned from a visit to the Litchfield pris- on. Mrs. McLucas, a young-looking JOAN NY. PANTHER 21 POLITICAL PRISONER woman, told us in her soft southp,,,, ern accent, something of Lonnie biography. 4 He was born in Wade, Oct. 17, 1945. He came north in July 1968 to look for work and found a job at a bakery in Port Chester, New York. ‘ Mrs, Thompson, lovely and slen- der in a lime green dress, added, “Later he moved to Jersey City where I was living. There he joined the Panther Party in Jersey City.” Mrs. McLucas, a clerk at a to- bacco factory, said that she and her husband had not been able to afford a visit to their ‘son since the one they made last July after his arrest. Letters barred ‘We have been writing to Lon- nie all the time,” she said, ‘‘but he is not getting our mail. We wrote to say that we were coming but he did not answer. When we saw him today he told us that he has not been getting any mail and only found out through his lawyer that we were coming. “He told us today that he has written over 100 letters to us and his sister, but we haven't re- ceived any mail from him. He said he is not receiving our letters either.” Mrs. McLucas described the hour she was able to spend with her son. ‘‘When I saw him today I wanted to shake his hand or hug him or something, you know. But he was behind a screen. Even last year when I saw him after he was arrested J couldn’t do anything like that because he was behind glass."" McLucas was arrested on June 6, 1969, in Salt Lake City, Utah, by the FBI. Police agents con- vinced him to waive his extradi- tion rights on a promise they would drop trumped-up gun char- ges against him. “Before Lonnie was arreste4- there was a big write-up at home and it was on the radio,’’ Mrs. Mc- Lucas said. ‘‘They said to be on the lookout for him, that he was dangerous and armed. Sheriffs rode by our house day and night.” raise All Power to the People My “name is Joan Bird, I’m 21 years old, I am a member of the Black Panther Party. I was born and raised in Harlem in New York City. I went to a parochial ele- mentary school from kindergarten through eighth grade, from there I attended Cathedral High School supposedly atype of school that you get into with a high scholastic ability or aptitude, It was an in- tegrated school and in there I found different sorts of racism present, both among the teachers and among the students. I can think of one incident where agroup of Black sisters were sitting in the auditorium and we were rap- ping during a recess period, A White racist nun came over and said, ‘get the hell outta here, this is all you niggers are good for, sitting around in groups trying to start trouble.’’This led the sis- ters to believe that there was really no sort of unity in the school, no form of equality pre- sent. This went on through the years there, After graduationfrom Cathedral, 1 decided to go into nursing at Bronx Community Col- lege. I was instructed by a Zion- ist, who had a thing against Black women, She didn’t dig us wear- ing our hair natural, and did any- thing to deprive us of being our- selves. I'd say about the sum- mer of ‘68, I read an article in the news about some brothers in Brooklyncourt, “White tigers’’. I believe the article said ‘*will eat Panthers’, or some old off the wall stuff. Anyway, [became inter- ested in the Party and went around tothe office on 7th Avenue and there I met some real heavy dudes. Well I recognized that this wasn't really the first time that this had hap- pened, ‘cause it’s an everyday thing in the Black community—police brutality, but I see the need for us to join together, and get down in getting this thing together, The struggle has to go on! I needed more information about Conditions in cell McLucas’ most recent visit with his parents was held right in front of his cell. “He showed me what he was living in,’ Mrs. McLucas said. “A little dark stall, no lights at all, no windows, just bars. It’s dark in there all the time. There's no toilet, just a pot. I asked him was he eating good, and he said. -‘Well, mother, they give me just enough to keep me living.” “He told me a man came in cursing him and said, “You don’t deserve anything, they say you are nothing.’ He told me one guard said rs him, ‘You will go to the electric chair smiling.’ “I think that the whole trial is a frameup. Lonnie was only ar- rested because he is a Panther. “Lonnie is not the type to do something -like that. People at home used to tell me that Lonnie THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 9 it so I went on aroundto the Party. I started working on a 9-5 gig for awhile. During the summer I worked at the day care centers in the ghetto. Working among the children--having some sort of con- tact with them and making them understand that they could develop themselves. The nine to five thing, going downtown everyday on the train, the hassle and bustle of the crowds--working for maybe $80.00 a week, if that, was drud- gery. You were struggling just to survive everyday because the a- mount of money you were being paid you could barely eat or live off. I saw the need for a change in the system, I saw that the sys- tem exploits the people. The Party tried to form some sort of con- crete ideology about this thing. Around September of 1968, I of- ficially joined the Black Panther Party. I attended Political Educa- tion Classes there and worked in the community with the people. One of the things we did at the time ,was work with children dur- ingthe. school strike. It was neces- sary for us to see that they had an education, whether the schools were open or not. We recognized that intheracist schools in Harlem, the children were not receiving a decent educa- tion, so it was up to the Black Panther Party to help serve the people, I can recall that after the first bust, I was working at PS 175, (around March of '69). [had been working there for approxi- mately three weeks and I had been rapping to the principal over there about starting a Breakfast Pro- gram there, I started working on this thing and the next week I was busted, this was April 2nd, This clearly shows that the pigs do not want anyone to help the people and their only interest has been the profits of their greediness, and wealth. They care nothing about the people but the program con- tinues inthe community whether we are in jailor not. The people and Barbara were the best chil- dren in Wade. Lonnie was a well- liked child at home. He was never in any trouble. Not long ago there was even a preacher in California who wrote to us and said that he had known Lonnie and thought very well of him.’' Asked how she felt about her son being a member of th. Black Panther Party, Mrs. McLucas said, ‘‘Anything he wants, I’m not against anything he wants.” When the McLucases were asked if they heard much about the Black Panther Party in the news media in North Carolina. they said that the only news had been coverage of the May Day New Haven Rally in support of the Panthers. “Lonnie didn't have time to tell us very much about the Panthers before he was arrested." Mrs. Mc- Lucas added Larry Townsend, of the Bridge- dug where the Panthers were com- ing from, They dug the Platform the 10 Points made up by the Black Panther Party. In January of 1969, 1 was ina car and two pigs stopped and they asked us what was the trouble, we said we had engine trouble, and a few minutes later the pigs, started shooting. A ten minute in- terval later, one pig named, Mc- Kenzie, (a Black pig by the way), says, cover me, I think there's a broad in the car and he came up to the car where I’m at and tells me to ‘‘crawl out bitch’’, and I proceeded to do this and I was dragged out and finally I was placed on the ground, beaten with a blackjack by McKenzie, kicked, stomped, beaten in the head, given a busted lip and busted eye. I was turned over, frisked andhand- cuffed and placed in the car. I went through torture, both mental and physical for over 18 hours the following day, On aSaturday night, I was brought to Manhattan Cri- minal Court and arraigned on the charges of conspiracy, attempted murder and felonous assault, the biggest joke of them all, because I was the one that was assaulted and not the pigs. My bail was originally set at $20,000.00, (this was my first time ever being ar- rested), I was takentothe Women's House of Detention where I re- ceived no medical care. | stayed there for about two weeks. My bail was finally reducedto $5,000. The people got me out on a $5,000 bail. The next day I was to appear in court and I was rearrested on the charges of attempted robbery, placed on another $5,000 bail, it seems that the pigs did not want me on the streets at all, but thanks to the people, I was out again on another $5,000 bail. Out on the streets once again, I continued my work once again with the Party and also continued to go to the schoo] at night. This went on for approximately a month. A month later the pigs busted down the door one more time and I was arrested on April 2nd, this time the bail was $100,000.00, Since then I have been in jail for over fourteen months now, along with my brothers, ten of them, and we have just finished our prelimenary hearings which clearly shows that this racist system in America does not intend to give the Black Panther Party members justice or anyone else in this country any sort of justice. It's clearly seen that anytime Murtagh gets on the stand--on the bench--and says he thinks ‘*The most of New York's finest’’, you can dig where he’s coming from, So we say the people will free all political prisoners andthe time is now! BLACK PANTHER PARTY Joan Bird (N.Y. 21) port NCCF, said that the condi- tions the McLucases had seen were part of an intensifying po- lice effort to break McLucas’ spirit. ~The other prisoners.” he said. “have cells with windows, they ¢an look out and talk to each other and they have privileges. Lonnie has none of this. The other prison- ers know about Lonnie and they respect him. They know he is a political prisoner. The guards are very hard on him for this. They keep harassing him and trying to break his spirit. but they are not going to succeed in doing it. There is no way his spirit is going to be broken.” “Lonnie is very stout-hearted.” Mrs. McLucas said, “He still stands up to what he says. I just hope that this trial is a fight for justice. But I know thai he will stand up for what he believes in.” THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 10 BERMUDA: NATIVES I was recently in Bermuda and I came across the information. I thought it might be of interest to the Black Panther Party. The Black Berets are a group of youths who came together be- cause of their frustration for the colonial White government under which their people are forced to live. They want to bring out the contradictions into the open so that the Bermudians will be more aware of what is going on. They want to stop the exploitation and oppression of their people. Inother words, according to the English- men, ‘‘By lord, the Natives are restless!’ The youth no longer prefer to be called West Indians, they are Black and this is what they call themselves. In Bermuda there is the White way of living and the Black way of living. On the surface, dis- crimination is kept down to a min- imum but underneath the racist, White superiority, White cracker a RESTLESS ther Party. They have deep ad- miration and respect for the i- deals and objectives of the Black Panther Party. They have used the 10-Point Program as their basic program. They have a Lib- eration school and hold political education classes. Their heroes are Malcolm X, Huey P, Newton, Eldridge Cleaver and Frantz Fan- non. They want to proclaim their unity with the Black Panther Party and other Liberation groups around the world, They will overcome their oppressors. through the unity of the Bermudian people and of the world, They are proud rev- olutionaries, not afraid to die for ther cause and they will NOT compromise with their oppres- sors; they want their freedom, and they will get it by ANY MEANS NECESSARY!

The Black people are given tokens to keep them happy and peaceful, In Bermuda, the Black man has no freedom, no say in his government (appointed by the Bri- tish government), He is forced to serve in the armed British for- ces, his children are educated in an inferior manner, in a segre- gated fashion. The government goes as far as to provide busing for Black children who live on the other side of the island, away from the Black school. His lot is no different than the Black man in Harlem, the Black man in Afri- ca, the Black man in Puerto Rico. He is still a slave.

COUNTER-ATTACK As we prepare for the defense of our communities, we should understand that ‘‘The best defense is a good offense."’ For years the pigs have attacked us meeting lit- tle resistance; due to the unorgan- ized state of the people the pigs have been able to ride roughshod over us. This defect has somewhat been corrected and must constantly be worked upon. Now we are more able to defend ourselves and or- ganize a striking force or Counter Attack, It is of the essence that we do not become hung-up in de- fense of certain areas, Some will find it easy just to sit back in fortified positions waiting on the enemy, though the time will come for defensive action, offensive ac- tion should be primary. It would be to the advantage of the com- batants to put the enemy on the defensive while strengthening their own defensives, In other words, we must take the initiative. It does not matter that we may be -unable to launch a massive of- fensive in the convential sense of warfare but what is important we launch numerous attacks and telling blows to enemy troops and strong holds (pig stys). As D.C. pointed out, what the combatants have in their favor is, **What, When, and How (WWH) and “Communications, Mobility and Information (CMI)’’, How best to combat or neutralize CMI is toget the maximum effect of WWH, Keep the enemy on the defensive (once this happens, the enemy will find it hard to use their CMI). The pigs will find movement within the colony, harassing. That is why it is important to know what de- gree the troops know their ter- rain, especially main thorough- farees that could be usedfor mov- ing in reinforcements and equip- ment, For a strategic point of view the highways will be the enemies life line; by employing our tactics we will cut his life line. BASE AREAS In forming Self-Defense groups it is important that the group es- tablish Base Areas, What then are these base areas? .They are the strategic bases on which the defense forces rely in performing their strategic tasks and achiey- ing the object of preserving and expanding themselves and destroy- ing and driving out the enemy. Without such strategic bases, there will be nothing to depend on in carrying out any strategic tasks on achieving the aim of the struggle. The location of Base Areas should be situated in areas such that where and when the struggle becomes intense, they will be ac- cessible to the combatants, but not to the enemy. At first this will be hard, as Mother Country troops move through the colony at will. Using caution and of course com- mon sense, Self-Defense groups CONT, ON NEXT PAGE THE STRATEGIC TIME THE STRATEGIC VICTORY, SEIZE IT NOW People have questioned us in the Black Panther Party, wanting to know how we see victory for Black and oppressed people in Ba- bylon, Particularly under the ard- uous Situation beholding our free- dom under the attacking drive of the most powerful reactionary gov- ernment in the world, the United States of America, Our reply, is that moving in a scientific manner we recognize the awesome power of USA, and we recognize it as a reactionary brute power, and it is this understanding which forms the basis to oppressed people obtaining liberation in Babylon. As we review history, as we review the historic nature of man grappling with brute forces many times stronger than man, we see that everything has a duel nature, an opposite. Where there is life, there is death, realizing this, we search for the death force which wil' eliminate the brute force, Under primitive conditions men have fought ferocious beasts who were many times stronger than man, Many times it took a large number of men striking simul- taneously at the beast in order to slay it. Sometimes the beast was so ferocious that the tanta- mount problem was to maneuver him into a position where as all the men could strike him, Inorder to do this man has to take ad- vantage of the natural character- istics and reactions of the beast. And man knew that the powerful beast feared very little, and he often moved with blind rage against his prey. Man would dig a pit lined with stakes, and maneuver the beast into an attacking situa- tion, and the beast would charge the confronting man, unaware of the pit, and the beast’s blind rage would lead him to his death. Today the Black Panther Party using the historic knowledge of man and the historical” knowledge of reactionary powers have maneu- vered the mighty beast of Amer- ica into a position whereas it struck out in blind rage against the Black Panther Party, and now finds itself in the pit with all the oppressed men of the world cast- ing death blows. The situation is -here, whereas the power of this reactionary government, this op- pressive system, cannot be used, except to commit suicide, Amer- ica cannot stop the peoples’ liberation struggle, America cannot stop the People’s liberation army. The Black Panther Party is free, Black people are free to destroy all problems created by the op- pressor , providing that we main- tain our collective efforts to de- stroy the beast. And as we look over the world we see that the class of oppressed menhas sharp- ened their liberation tools, and we will have a righteous victory of this beast, and there will be food on the table for all the world. DEATH*TO THE PIG LIBERATION TO\THE PEOPLE Monk Teba on his way. The owner shot him again and he fell. The racist dog then stood over the brother and shot him in the head and twice more, When the gestapo pigs finally arrived on the scene they allowed the racist dog to leave the scene without moving to stop him. Says the pigs from the 28th precinct, “he'd report it himself." The oppressive conditions inside Babylon i.e., decadent housing, un- employment, capitalism, injustice and genocide, forced the brother to illegal means to obtain the stand- ards drummed into the heads of Black people from infancy. Being Black made him oppressed andthe racist pig ruling class made himan illegitimate capitalist. The brutal, sadistic, premed- itated murder of brother Larry is an extension of the same fascist racist killings at Augusta, Jack- son and Mississippi and all over Babylon. The oppressive elements of this society has declared war upon the people, using the legal system to justify their overtly sa- distic acts of genocide. The people of the Black com- munities have to wake up and rea- lize murder and genocide for what it is and then be able and prepared , t© Say and mean to deliver the consequence of either or. Either you withdraw your oppressive for - ces from our Black communities or we’re going to start shooting! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE BLACK PANTHER PARTY Harlem Branch Bernice ORGANIZI SELF DEFENSE GROUPS In past articles, the types of weapons and their use has been run down, To have a complete pic- ture and an all around good gue- rilla you must know the proper methods of firing the weapon that you have, In this article seven basic positions will be explained each position has a purpose of its own. The pictures show a soldier with a military M-1 Garrand rifle but these positions can be used with any shoulder fired weapon. The first step is being able to hit the target effectively that you are aiming at alignment and sight picture, FIGURE 1 Diagram Of Sight Pic- ture The sight picture is made up of four parts, the first thing you do when sighting in your target, you look through the rear peep sight. ( If you are shooting with your right shoulder look with left eye.) Through the rear peep sight you should see the front post sight and outer blades, Your target should be centered on either _ site” directly on top of the front ‘post Sight, according to where you wish the bullet to strike range of your target. Image of the post and peep sight should be en- closed in the picture of the front two blades. You now have a com- plete sight picture and now ready to fire weapon, Trigger squeeze is the next step that must be gone through. On most rifles you will find that when pull- ing the trigger you willfeela small amount of free pull. This is called slack. The method of pulling out the slack and going on to fire rifle is as follows: Put finger on trigger, slowly and gently start pulling the trigger, ( do not pull, or jerk trigger). When the gun goes off it should be a complete surprise to the shooter, STANDARD RIFLE POSITIONS After sight alignment and trigger squeeze has been done, there is one last step that the shooter must go through and that is choosing a shooting position that best fits the situations and conditions, that he is in. Also the position and shape of target. There are eight standard firing positions and shape of target. There are eight standard firing po- sitions for therifle. The first is the standing position, this positioncan be used for many different purpos- es. FIG 16 STANDING POSITION RIGHT ELBOW APFROXIMATELY 45" ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE SHOULDERS When having target practice this is the first position to start from. is correct sight f From this position you can get the complete feel and touch of your weapon, An old trick of the trade is ‘to interlock your arm with the sling of the rifle, by doing this your rifle becomes stabilized and has less movement. No matter how much you try it is impossible to hold the rifle completely still with- out any movement, From this basic stance you can move behind a tree or a building giving you cover while you extend your head and rifle around the side. This makes you less of a target for the enemy. a | | | a | When you cannot get to any open spaces to do actually live firing of your weapon, you canstillprac- tice this stance. Check your we pon and make sure that it is un- loaded, Move into the standing po- sition and have one of your com- rades place a penny on the front blades, Go through your breath control and then trigger squeeze, if the penny falls off, then this means that your trigger squeeze was off and if you were firing for real most likely you would have missed your target.

The com:nsiica- tions and functioning of the Bureau of Special Services, or BOSS as it is called, is a tightly and secret- ly run Terror Spy organization, obtaining its basic direction from the N.Y, District Attorney’s office, Within the so called ‘‘investi- gative area’ assigned to B,O.S.S. , is the area of ‘‘subversive acti- vities’’, It should be understood that B,O.S.S, is one of the most respected secret C.I.A, type orga- nizations functioning within Babylon, respected by the pigs of the power structure for its dead- ly efficiently and cold calculating plans of action, Agents assigned to B.O.S.S, are of the most slimy type, especially the Black bootlicking pig agents in their employ, The history of the Bureau of Special Services in New York is one written in blood, fas- cism-and deceit, for it is B.O.S.S, that had Malcolm murdered, the Harlem Five framed, the Harlem 7 framed and finally the N.Y. 21 set up andframmed, When Malcolm X first started relating to the masses of Black people in Harlem in a political and revolutionary manner it be- came the duty of B.O.S,S, to in- filtrate his followers, report his activities, andif possible to employ his enemies to destroy him, One of those so assigned to do this was one Gene Roberts, a B.O.S.S. agent and a back stabbing shoe polish lipnigger pig, Gene Roberts became subsequently the pig agent that set up and en- gineered the bust of the N.Y, 21 who are incidentally from Harlem. Gene Roberts became such a master deceiver and back stabber that he eventually became one of Malcolm’s security personnel and body guard, Many times he explained how close he and Mal- colm were, So close until it was Gene Roberts who, when Malcolm was gunned down by the hired agents of the pigs, gave mouth to mouth respiration on the stage of the Audobon Ballroom, Gene Roberts had sucessfully in- filtrated the organization of Afro- American Unity, (Malcolm’s or- ganizations), And because of cer- tain conditions, namely. the handl- ingof Malcolm’s Assasination by the C,1,A, and F,B.1, He remained safely unexposed, Gene Robert’s roll in Malcolm’s murder was one of setting up the brother to be murdered, because the pigs in the fascist government did not de- termine when or where Malcolm was to be killed (until 3 or 4 days before it happened), Gene Roberts expert knowiedge of Mal- colm’s whereabouts. in New York was of no little import’.nce, For example Malcolm’s whole secu- rity was deprived of their arms and weapons two weeks before the brother was killed, The wherea- bouts of these weapons, and who was in charge of them was know- ledge that Gene Roberts or one of his partners must have known, It was the opinion in the house Committe of Un-American Acti- vities, that the main reason thet the Black Panther Party should not be allowed to exist in Harlem was because this was the area in which Malcolm worked and taught the masses, The pigs had no need for the Black Panther Party in this area implementins and practicing Malcolm’s ideas, Gene Roberts actions were so good , until he was eventually assigned to elimi- nateas many Panthers from Har- lem as possible, His assignment came from B.Q.S,S., but its pur- pose and direction came from Washington, D,C, Gene Roberts is the same pig wno on April 2nd engineered the 2i Bust this fantastic bomb con- spiracy bust was aided by and hooked up by one, Gene Roberts Agent, The bust of the 21 is directly linked with Malcolm’s murder at the hands of lackeys, It was the desire on the part of the pigs to use their operation to wipe out any favorable image that the people might have had of the Black Panther Party and thereby justify genocide, We know that it was the govern- ment on the local, national and in- ternational level that plotted and killed Malcolm, and that Gene Roberts and B,O,S,S.were instru- ments in bringing thisabout, We also see that Gene Roberts is the Arch instigator and informer against the N.Y. 21, There can be no seperation for it is the same side of the same coin, The goal being to deprive Black people in general and Harlem and New York in particular, any dynamic and effective revolution- ary leadership, first it was Mal- colm and now its the N.Y, 21, both victims of a lackey pig who loves his master better than his master loves himself, In the final go round it is the pigs like Gene Roberts who will have to be exposed and dealt with by the people, for»if*wasnot’ for them Malcolm would be alive, and the N.Y. 21 free, We must m2keclear- ly that Gene Roberts is proof, that the only true freedom we can obtain, cannot be had without armed struggle and without ob- serving who are our real friends as opposed to our real enemies, The N.Y. 21 must be set free, for the acts alledged cannot be leveled by the criminal or his accom- plices, ALL. POWER TO THE PEOPLE DHARUBA NoY, 21 CONTRADICTIONS IN THE N.Y. 21 TRIAL Detective Hodgson Testified On Thursday, May 21, 1970, De- tective Richard Hodgson of the 71st Detective Squad took the stand in the case of the New York Pan- ther 21, It was Detective Hodg- son who made affidavits to the courts requesting permission to tap the phones of certain indivi- duals in or connected with the Black Panther Party, These re- quests were made and granted SECRETLY, From October 4, 1968 until March 15, 1969, 24-hour live taps were placed on five phones and one apartment, Why the secre- cy? On what bases were these taps requested? About the Informer, Sean DuBonnet Detective Hodgson's testimony revealed that the state's case a- gainst the 21 is very shaky. The primary gounds for obtaining and renewing the taps is based on the testimony of an informer, Sean Dubonnet. The police department paid this man $100 a week to supply information to them about the Black Panther Party. Sean Du- Bonnet not only has an extensive arrest record, but he also has a long record of mental illness. A- mong other things, he has been arrested for impersonating a doc- tor, for impersonating a police officer, for impersonating a Co- lombia University student, for passing bad checks (twice), and for grand larceny auto. In 1958 he confessed to murdering a doc- tor and his wife, but investiga- tion proved that he was in jail at the time of the incident. He was placed in King’s County Hospital that same year for ‘‘seeing and hearing things'’, He has been in Freeman Hospital, Washington, D.C, for ‘‘hearing voices’’, Hehas also been in mental hospitals in New Jersey and Massachusetts, He has been diagnosed a chronic paranoid schizophrenic and is now in Central Islip Mental Hospital. The police knew of DuBonnet’s history or at least part of it during the time he was an in- former, They knew that all the information he gave them wasn't true. They themselves hadto check out everything he said, He told them of meetings which may never have happened, of Black Panther Party directives which police knew were never given, of person's ac- tivities at times those persons were still in jail, and of con- spiracy plots which were known to be false and for which no ar- rests were eyer made. When questioned as to all this in court, Detective Hodgson readily admit- ted it. His only response was ‘‘We had to trust him." And the State’s Case Stands Re- yealed The police had to trust him be- cause they had no reason for in- vading the privacy of Black homes and tapping the. They had no evidence of criminal activity on the part of the defendants. They had no case against the Panther 21. All they knew is that these people worked in or with the Black Panther Party, feeding, clothing, educating, and defending the Black community in New York. To the racist power structure ofthis city, that, it seems, is tantamount to crime, They had to trust a known psychotic informer to create a case against the 21 where none in fact existed. Sean DuBonnet is a sick man, used by vicious and manipulative public officials to stop the activities of the Black Panther Party and to create the conditions for massive repression, (Remember, the. entire case against Bobby Seale is based on the testimony of another mentally ill individual Be There people must know about and stop the railroading of the Panther 21. Judge Murtagh and D,A. Phillips realize their case is falling apart and they will do everything in their power to keep ittogether, Already there have been moves afoot to pre- vent Sean DuBonnet from testi- fying.

MELENDEZ RY LESCALLET THE TRIAL OF LOS SIETE DE LA BROWN RAZA PEOPLE AWAIT JUSTICE Innocent until proven guilty-- , for thirteen months, six brothers of Los Siete have been in jail with the burden of trying to prove their innocence. This has been the case for not only Los Siete but thousands of other poor Black, Brown, Yellow, Red and White peo- ple. For thirteen months they have sat through lengthy pre-trial hearings in the court of Judge Joseph Karesh, contesting the make-up of the Grand Jury, the trial jury, the case against the death penalty, For thirteen months, without sunshine, exercise, med- ical care, entertainment, Los Siete have waited patiently for their trial to begin. The brothers were doubrful that they could receive a fair. trial, but they were still going under the illusion that such a thing was possible. The delays by the court which have bogged the trial down for all these months continue to mount, However each delay only makes the contradictions more ap- parent to brothers and sisters in the streets, who see their people suffering in jail. On June 10, Judge Karesh an- nounced his decision to withdraw from the case. He said he would not disqualify himself because to do that would be to say that he was biased and prejudiced and that this was not the case, He wanted to withdraw because of references made to another trial in which he presided--that of Michael O’Brien, a policeman accused of having killed a Black man three years ago. The lawyers for Los Siete voiced their strong objections to his withdrawal. At this point, they argued, after having listened to ex- tensive expert testimony on various motions, it would be il- legal for him to withdraw, Many of the rulings are on appeal, some are still under submission to Judge Karesh, A new judge would haveto rule without having heard any tes- timony. Each of the lawyers had his client take the stand to testi- fy that they approve of Judge Ka- resh and think he can give them a fair trial. The lawyers said they would not make any reference to the O’Brien trial at all during the Los Siete trial. Mike Kennedy, at- torney for Danilo (Bebe) Melen- dez, even said he would withdraw himself and his client from the case in order that the judge would stay. After two hours of argu- ment the judge said he would need time to think about it and would announce his decision the following day. On Thursday, June 11, he said, “‘] have decided I’m qualified and am without bias or prejudice, How- ever, this case has been reas- signed to another court by the Mas- ter Calendar judge.’’ He told the lawyers to check with the Master Calendar Judge Drewes and have it reassigned to his court again, It seemed like a routine matter, but Judge Drewes would hear no pleas by the defense, no objec- tions, He slammedhis gavel down and assigned the lives of Los Siete to the court of Judge Lawrence Mana, The reaction to this was enor- mous. The press crowded around the defense attorneys tohear what they had to say, Mike Kennedy: “*Karesh is a coward,”’ Dick Hodge: “It’s just a contrivance to take the heat off of him.” ‘This is the most despicable, disgraceful cop-out J’vye seen in my 31 years in the bar.”’ attorney Charles Gar- ry told the press waiting in the courtroom, ‘‘Is this the kind of justice we are supposed to be fighting for? Where can people go for justice?’’ Where we ask? It is apparent that even though Judge Karesh was willing and legally obligatedtore- main as trial judge, higher ups decided differently. They tried to cover up by blaming the shift on the routine of the Master Calen- dar but this did not fool anyone, It is an out front attempt to sabotage the trial of Los Siete by bringing in a judge ignorant of the history and facts of this case. Judge Karesh wants to absolve himself of responsibility in the case. In a case involving the death penalty, the judge may be called upon to decide between life and death. Karesh wants to avoid any decision making. He sees himself as a liberal but this latest action has destroyed all images anyone may have had of him. It is a direct attack on the de- fense lawyers for all of them have many other cases to attend to, So long as the Los Siete trial remains suspended in mid-air, Bobby Seale, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, willremain suffer- ing in jail in Connecticut, Charles Garry is his lawyer too. All over the country, people being held pri- soner! by this system are being denied the services of four out- standing people's lawyers. R. Jay Engel has already been threatened with jail because he spoke up in defense of Los Siete once too of- ten in the eyes of the judge, It is the lawyer’s duty to act as spokesman for his client, to de- fend him in every way possible, In Chicago, during the Conspiracy Trial, two lawyers received long jail sentences for acting as true counselors and not as rubber stamps for the court, How can a lawyer be a righteous counsel with this threat dangling over his head? What next for Los Siete? May 17, a court appearance before Judge Mana, just back from a va- cation in Italy. The defense at- torneys have filed a writ in the State Supreme Court, to have the reassignment of Mana overturned and Karesh returned to the court. If this does not happen, the lawyers will have to renew many motions, those that Karesh has continued or denied. And outside the courtroom? What is the natural reaction of people who do not find justice in the legal system?

A product of the times, but a destroyer of lives. There's a breed of scavengers, preying off of the misery and de- gradation of their brothersandsis- ters. The financer of death, the pusher, Unlike most illegitimate capitalists, the pusher can only survive when surrounded by human misery. The cries of the cursed, the strung-out fall deafly upon his ears, His is a much wanted com- modity, and a commodity to kill, steal, plead and beg for. Thecom- modity is dope. Unlike most il- legitimate capitalists, the pusher has little fear of being snitched upon, since his ‘‘clents’’ mem- bers of the walking dead, grant him acertain immunity, they would use any means necessary to pre- vent their supply of dope from being cut off. But you may say, what of it, sure I've seen them niggers down there nodding and scratching, and leaning and nodding, scratching and leaning, but it doesn’t righteously affect me, so why should I worry? It’s their own fault that they got that way. If they want to stop bad enough there are places for them to go to, This is the at- titude of quite a few people. But few people know that the flag wav- ing, red, white, and blue govern- ment of the United States flood the poor Black and Chicano and Puerto Rican communities with he- roin, mescaline, reds, yellows, acid and other ‘‘junk’’, in a mass plan to commit genocide on all oppressed people, A plan that in- cludes creating 4 great influx of dope that is especially designed to keep the lumpen niggers on the streets and the youth as non-func- tionable as possible. To keep them in such a daze that when the armed organs of this fascist state invade the community to further intimi- date and harass oppressed people there will be littleresistance. The murderers will be able to run rampant without rein throughout the community. The ghetto will be turned into Black Dachaus and Auschiwitchs (death camps). For we know that a person that is in a nod, or tripping off acid or strung-out on reds couldcare less about what is going on around him and could do little to change it if he did. How can a person who has dropped four reds or who is on acid highs have anything to say or do when a racist pig at- tacks and brutalizes a Black sis- ter who is obviously pregnant, or deliberately murder a young Black brother accused only of try- ing to protect himself. Who would Black child trying to cross the street? ‘‘Not me man, I was too high, I couldn’t see nothing.’’ Another devious pig tactic is the use of Black people to kill one another, A clear example of this is the needless death of Richmond Higgs in Denver. Bro- thers high on red devils mur- dering each other as the pigs stood by . What is one or two Black people dead? Only two extra bul- lets in the heart of another colon- ized brother or sister. As long as they kill one another it makes no difference. ‘ With these clear cut examples, it is easy to understand why the - Black community must purge their own ranks; why the lumpen must be organized and educated to the need for ridding the Black com- munity of anyone or anything that is harming the struggle for lib- eration and true freedom. This includes the toms, bootlicking en- dorsed spokesmen and the sni- tches, But most of all the ille- gitimate pigs, profiteering off of the oppression of poor Black and Brown people. The most dangerous of these profiteers is the execu- tioner, the most hated, but a per- son who seems to be most needed in the ghetto, the buyer of souls, the pusher, But we must not be fooled by the latest pig brainwash to bust the pusher. One pro- paganda attempt here in Denver states, ‘‘Have you ever seen your friend suffering for a fix? Get re- venge for your friend, Give us their name or nick-name, and where they hang out. The law will _ never know your name. Help us ‘Bust the Pusher’.’’ Now we all know that this is another pig tactic to try to turn more Black bro- thers and sisters into snitches and bootlickers By no means or under no circumstances should you turn anyone in. to the pigs. If these people cannot be educated and into part of the solution, then they will be dealt with like part of the problem, by the people in the community] Have you ever seen a dope peddler after he has been dealt with like the low lifed scum that he is, only this time by mo- thers, fathers, husbands, wives, friends and loved ones of about 16 or 17 people hooked on drugs? Right On! The people will deal with it, because we have to in order to survive this dying beast. the people will survive America] ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE DEATH TO THE PIG, AND POWER TO THOSE THAT DESERVE IT!

THE REVOLUTION WILL COME; ii i ia hai ai it i iia ii cgi id tinal di i in cline alc eaaadaddiaeabias What Americans do not understand, they buy and they deform. What they cannot buy, they crush, Their reac- tions, even those which seem most reasonable, are choleric and brutal. The attempt to invade Cuba, so care- fully prepared by Allen Dulles for Kennedy, and the fiasco of the Bay of Pigs (what a wonderful name for that break in the coast where defeat awaited those we now call ‘‘pigs”) a beautiful demonstration of their ignorance and of their rage. Americans, quantifiers par ex- cellence, happy mathematicians (most of them actually imported from Ger- many and Italy) lose their bearings whenever they face a revolutionary act and are forced to think in quali- tative terms. The Cuban phenomenon simply enraged Dulles and thetechno- crats of espionage. The Americans--they are forced to ignore China; they can debase Manila, South Korea, and Formosa,-the three whores of the Pacific, and the last, the bastard-child of that peculiar genius which could prefer Chang-Kai Shek to Mao Tse-Tung., The Soviet Union puts them off less, especially now that she is becoming a robot. Others they crush: North Vietnam, Laos, Guatemala, Panama, Santo Domingo. Or they buy and corrupt; Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Brazil, Greece, Morocco. In the same way, within ‘‘American’’ territory, they buy a few Blacks willing to sell themselves - politicians and actors, basketball players or boxers, dancers or singers--a black veil designed to mask a terrible ill: racism. Those Black who refuse to prostitute their color, the Americans crush, They massacred Fred Hampton, Arthur Glenn, Bobby Hutton, Tom Lewis, Robert Lawrence, Steve Bartholomew but I'll stop here: the reader's delicate eyes are no doubt fatigued--to a total of 28 Black Panthers in two years. They jailed Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, the New York 21, and they exiled Cleaver, After a short respite, with only the deaths of Malcolm X and King, racism in the United States blazed forth ever more brilliantly. There have long been the customary lynchings by the Ku Klux Klan, the traditional hanging of Black people from trees in the South. But now there is a more expedient and effective way: police massacres and judicial terror, Every American knows clearly what I am talking about, and no American will acknowledge it, Just as a living body becomes con- scious of being only when it is in pain, America suffers with its black wound, But if it calm itself with a feigned unconsciousness, or with other giddiness, the fact remains that this black wound, forever bleeding, is the only sensitive point in America, the only place one finds a beating heart. A few years ago, these heartbeats were marked by rhythms which still bound Black people to the continent from which they were dragged. To- day the dancer stands motionless. A member of the Black Panther Party, he enters with ease the development of dialectical materialism. He has put in doubt the authority of his old masters, he understands their tricks, and he puts back into questions what formerly seemed a religious dogma: the idea of private proterty. And once again, the Americans do not under- stand at all. Red ideology in a Black skin] The point, amused, cannot but see that in the colored revolution under way, the Black and the Red are linked, Just as in Paris of 1848 and 1871, in Spain of 1936, in May 1968 throughout France, and at this moment in Italy and Japan, red and black are the complementary colors, But one should not see in my word- game anything but a speechlessness in the face of what Claudel has called KEKE EEE REE EK REECE EEE EEE REE EERE EEK KERR REECE EERE EEE EE: TIME IS AT THEIR SERVICE “the jubilations of chance.’”’ I am using this strange juxtaposition only to get at the origins, in my eyes one and the same, of poetry and of rev- olutionary action. Everything leads one to think that the nostalgic poetry of America’s Blacks was husbanded away for four centuries, and that it has now transformed itself into apolitical re- flection which leads the more audac- ious to revolutionary action. There is yet another characteristic common to both the Black Panthers and the poets: their understanding of Time. When the poet writes, he plunges into some sort of eternity: before him Time stretches out. Contingencies evaporate, Time gives itself to the ooet. Suddenly he has his whole life to write his poem and he has the choice of going slowly--or fast. The Black Panthers are preparing the rev- olution with precipitous care. The revolution will come; Time is at their service. Those who have seen Bobby Seale talk will have noticed, by the way he closes his eyelids, that he is reach- ing back into himself, into a time beyond memory, digging into the com- mon group of Black poetry; he is entering into communication with the deep despair of his people and he pulls from it the intellectual strength for revolutionary thought and action, Cut off from their unchronicled history by White slavemasters, the Black Panthers search for their mythic ancestory. And they findthem; Patrice Lumumba, Che Guevara, Malcolm X, today Huey Newton, Bobby Seale and Eldridge Cleaver, Patriarchs, they are all young, despite their youthful beards, If, in the eyes of the Blacks, in the present-day Western world all systems have failed-since all, liberals or not, are-for them, systems of tyranny-the Blacks _now understand that they will find their place only within a socialist world, and that the surest way of having that place is to work out their socialism, to put for- ward principles so right and so just that they will compel the adherence of the Whites. This socialism is still to be found. Within the Black Panther Party, each Black has the possibility of working. Together or alone, the Blacks can in- vent or discover new relationships between people. Without doubt, they and we, all of us, are still each man for himself, stuck in old social cate- gories where each must take care not to fall back into old traps. But right now, the efforts of the Blacks are directed above all against an enemy who must be harassed with- out rest; the imperialist without visible emperor, the White American. Despite the scarcity of information abroad about the Black Panther Party, what I knew about them threw me into their midst--perhaps less for the world they’re trying to create than for the battle, deadly for them, which they are waging against Americanism and its bland and elephantesque power.We have the same hate, What is America? It no longer sits simply with its territorial limits be- tween Mexico and Canada, the Pacific and the Atlantic. It extends beyond, Save for China, North Korea, Viet- nam, the Soviet Union and Cuba, no one seems willing to resist her. The American empire could be defined by Pascal's Universe ‘‘Whose center is everywhere and circumference no- where", And perhaps the same car be said for those spirits which seem on the brink of giving up in the face of dollar laden strategies, comfort, and material well-being. We know about the eye of Cyclops. The burning stick with which Ulysses gouged it, is held here by the Black Panthers, who are aiming straight at the forehead of the American colossus. Cyclops is in pain, He is blind. He does not understand anymore. Who then is this dark Ulysses, and what does he want? And why does he keep harassing Cyclops with the burning stick? When a TV speaker portrays the militants of the Black Panther Party as enraged children, he is badly mis- taken: the enraged children are the Whites, scared of that Black intelli- gence at last freed from capitivity. This intelligence is still young. It grows quickly. Here in the United States fear of the intellect joins those fears said to originate in sexual fantasy: what used to be called ‘‘White culture’’ now stands exposed before the intelligence of the Blacks. The walls which pro- tected that culture are crumbling. The Blacks see clearly through the pitiful subterfuges of a white mentality that wanted to ignore them; they see that the subterfuges protected only hollow secrets, and now, once again, because their deception has burst, the Whites are afraid, And once again they react in the same old way, born of their contempt for Blacks and at the same time of their disquieting fascination: once again they resort to racism! I would really like to tell the reader of this article how the Black mili- tants live. I know that they are on the go twenty-four hours a day, Only fatigue knocks them out and forces them to sleep. Generally good-humor- ed, they no longer even notice what strikes me so when I am at their homes and offices: the sand bags piled up against the windows, the armour- plated doors, mirrors in the stair- ways, the wire netting to protect against teargas grenades, their con- stant defense of their homes and of their often bobby-trapped cars, in- sulting graffiti on their walls anc doors, open shadowing by the police in airports and planes, Constrained from breaking any law of the country, even the most insignifi- cant rule, by the fear of having to pay a hundred thousand dollars bail on the slightest charge, and obliged to submit their expenses to strick party control, their new-found somberness is suddenly lightened by a joke, a smile, or an outstretched hand. Or the fist, and the ritual ‘‘Right on!’’, David Hilliard, the Chief of Staff, takes me to the home of a Black Pan- ther. Its main rooms are occupied by young men and women, One of them is discussing articles from the Black Panther newspaper. He speaks of Bobby Seale’s extradition to Connec- ticut. He is providing, with a sense of seriousness the political education of these young people. This happens at night in a house which seemed to me quite vulnerable but which was guarded by several armed militants. I would say still more, and first of all that this necessary agreement be- tween all of the militants to follow a single discipline is indispensable for the fight. So is caution, Rigorous thought is a must when the Party is so threatened by police brutality or by the sneaky way racism creeps into the minds of all Whites. Must we repeat, untiringly, the pre- emptory and preposterous assertion of the opening of this esSay: that the Panthers are men? They grow beyond the myth through political thought and, carried and nourished by revo- lutionary action, the myth itself keeps on growing. , If it all began in a sudden burst, one might think that the Black Panther Party came on the scene at just the right moment: their success would have then been less striking. But their initial notions, in some ways brash, they have saturated with political and revolutionary reflection, enabling their movement to pass be- BY JEAN GENET yond undirected revolt. But they kept the trappings of their first appearance, adding to them a new meaning that suggest of revolution, Closing my reflection on the Pan- thers, I come to something which trouble me: why are there so few American writers who defend them? I am not talking about a signature, carelessly given, beneath a more or less poorly written petition in favor of the rights of man. What I am talk- ing about is real work, given to aid America’s only revolutionary move- ment, a movement which without this help will continue to escape the under- Standing of liberal people. When they are told that they do not like Whites, that they do not want Whites to mix in their affairs, the Panthers never tire of answering that they themselves are taking care of business for everyone, and that the entire world is threatened when they are massacred, Since I started living with them, David Hilliard never once refused me an explanation of his actions, however sudden, brusque, or superficially disconcerting. Not once did either Hilliard or Masai Hewitt, the Minister of Education make me feel like an outsider in their midst. The same is true for all the Whites who work with them. Ir is said that Spiro Agnew has more or less openly threatened the intellectuals and above all the journalists who may have close relationships with the Black Panther Party. Is this why they remain silent? I’ve heard talk of Black racism. We should beware of too-easily estab- lished parallels, If White racism is born of a feel- ing of superiority and contempt, so that Whites could better exploit the Blacks, the almost desperate hostility of the Blacks was never aimed to ex- ploit us, not by a long shot, But many intellectuals hold on to this facile analogy, however different the two ways of acting in their origin and in their expression. I have even come to question wether the absence of rigor in their analysis might not be just one more form of white racism, And also of intellectual laziness, if one wants to call it that. In short, the easiest thing for the intellectuals would be to put the Blacks to work once more, this time to handle the’ analytic chores. Which is what the Blacks are now doing. America’s Blacks, and especially the Black Panthers are the only thing that glows, that shines intensely, even burns and fascinates in this sadly boring country. Would the intellectuals enemies of all violence, reject the vio- lence of the Black Panther movement? But don’t the killings by the police explain the revolt, starting with the verbal violence? Should we see in the silence of the intellectuals a cozy prudence or, once more, racism? When the Whites preach non-vio- lence to the Black man, are they aware that there has never been a pause in the violence against the Blacks, net since the first days of the slavemaster? To preach non- violence in this case is to refuse the Blacks the means to defend them- selves. The non-violent attitude of the Whites is simply, moral del- ettantism. Nothing more. If in the United States, one has the feeling of walking through a night- mare, it is because America, swept along in a logical delirium, seems unable to hold itself in check; Amer- ica, for us, is already an antiquated dream that still weighs heavily on the world, With others, the Black Panther Party cuts, tears, breaks the last shackles, JEAN GENET shag RRR RRR EK RK: Hoos ROKK EERE HARRI AANA EAE EEE AAAI RATER HRI RRR BB REE THE ANTI — U.S. IMPERIALIST, THE SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE Dear comrades and friends, I write this article today to give you a more correct picture of the objective realities of South Korea. Now I am going to dwell on the colonial, military fascist rule of U,S, imperialism over South Korea and its aftermath and the anti-U,S., national salyation struggle of the South Korean people. 1, The occupation of South Korea by U.S, imperialism and its policy of colonial enslavement. U.S, imperialism has been oc- cupying South Korea by force of arms already for 25 years. This is a link in the chain of their aygressive acts against our country which have been committed for more than 100 years since the U.S, imperialists infiltrated the pirate ship the USS ‘*General Sher- man’’ in 1866 into the river Tae- dong-gang, Pyongyang. U.S. imperialism made it's ap- pearance in South Korea after the surrender of Japanese imperialism in the Second World war. Since the first days of its oc- cupation of South Korea U.S, im- perialism has infringed upon the national independence of our people and pursued the policy of fascist, military occupation which should not be allowed even in vanquished countries, The homicidal yeneral Mac- Arthur proclaimed ‘‘military ad- ministration’’ in ordinance No. } in which he declared that ‘‘all powers of Government over terri- tory of Korea south of 38 degrees north latitude and the people thereof will he for the present exercised ufider my authority. ‘‘ Persons will obey promptly all my orders and orders issued under my authority." The U.S, imperialists changed the signboard of the ‘‘sovernment- general’ of Japanese imperialism with that of the ‘‘US, military government”’ and began enforcing their colonial rule. Ranting that ‘‘the US, military government is the only government in South Korea’’, U.S, imperialism dissolved by force people's com- mittees organized on the initiative of the South Korean people right after August 15, 1945. While keeping in force the evil laws of Japanese imperialism, US, imperialism ran amuck in sup- pressing the people by fabricating more than 500 new ‘‘military gov- ernment ordinances’. At that time in South Korea all democratic polit- ical parties and social organ- izations were dissolved and a large number of press organs were des- troyed and closed down, And a large number of patriots and people were arrested, impri- soned or murdered. Already by the end of 1948 more than 4 times as many patriots and people as under the Japanese imperialist rule had been cast into prisons in South Korea. The U.S, imperialist aggressors perpetrated everywhere without hesitation all sorts of barbarous atrocities such as assault, terror, destruction injury and murder, To cite some instances, they mobilized their aggressor troops to bar- barously suppress the peasants on Haui island, Muan county, South Cholla province for the mere reason that they opposed the forced wrain delivery in Awrust 1946, They committed the brutality of killing over 30 workers and wound- ing over 500 by firiny indiscrim- inately hy mobilizing even planes and tanks at the workers of Hwasun Goal Mine who participated in the first August 15 anniversary event. U.S, impevialism seized the ar- teries of the South Korean economy, while suppressing the democratic forces and mustering the reaction- ary forces. The villains seized property amounting to 80 per cent of total property of South Korea such as factories, railways, vessels, com- munications, banking organs, land, irrigation facilities, dwelling hous- es, warehouses, shops and com- modity stocks which were per- meated with the blood and sweats of the Korean people and which had been owned by Japanese imperial- ism, on the pretext that those were “‘enemy property.” Besides, the U.S. imperialists reduced South Korea to a market for their surplus goods under the cloak of ‘‘aid’’ and rapidly ruined the national economy of South Korea, U,S, imperialism maintained the feudal relations of exploitation in the rural areas as they were, and protected the class interests of the landlords. Along with this, U.S. imperial- ism stepped up ideological and cultural invasion by whipping up the ‘‘anti-communist"’ and worship America sentiments and frenziedly spreading the ‘‘American way of life.”’ The villains worked hardto seize all therights of school management, destroying, andreducing educational facilities and enforcing a colonial reactionary education systein. The villians had expelled more than 80%, of teachers and over 60%, Of students from educational institutes by (LNS )’ Throushout South Korea and arrested and imprisoned them on the plea that they opposed this. In the organs of culture, press and publication, too, progressive figures were expelled and were con- stantly persecuted. At theatres and cinema houses, progressive dramas andfilms were banned, whereas decadent U,S, films were imposed upon them, Such brigandish military fascist rule and policy of colonialenslave- ment by U.S, imperialism invited the sprong resistance of the South Korean people. Finding themselves unable to rule South Korea any longer by means of ‘‘military administration’, they embarked on the road of cooking up a South Korean puppet regime by whipping together pro-Amer- ican, pro—Japanese elements and traitors to the nation. This was a criminalinechanization toperpet- uate the split of Korea into the South and the North and invade the whole Korea with South Korea as an advance base, The nation splitting policy of U.S. imperialism and its scheme to cook up a puppet regime en- countered the strong resistance of the entire peoples in North and South Korea, However, U.S, imperialism sent many patriotic political parties and social organizations underground, barbarously suppressed patriotic people and held a ruinous separate “felection’’ on May 10, 1948 and rigyed up the Syngman Ree puppet regime through threat and black- mail, fraudulence and imposture. Although U.S, imperialism out- wardly replaced the signboard of the “U,S, military government with that of the “government of the Republic of Korea’’, the actual rulers seizing all powers in South Korea were still U.S, imperialist ay Even the then director of Far Bast Bureau of “UP. a reptile news aency of U.S. imper- ilinis, could not but admit that the South Korean government was “tunder the direct control of the U.S, State Departinent and administered by the huge local organs guided by Muschio, an old diplomat in the Far Eastern affairs.” The South Korean people waved stubborn struggle against this eSSC a AN BYONG CHOL THE BLACK PANTHER.

Typical examples are the October Popular Resistance in 1946, the struggle against the ‘*May 10 ruinous separate election’ and mutiny of armymen in Ryosu and Sunchon, U.S, imperialism intensified san- guinary suppression in South Korea and drenched our beautiful land with the blood of our people. Under the direct command of Robert, Chief of the military ad- visor of the U.S, imperialist ag- gression army, the villains slaught- ered more than 100,000 people in Cheju Island and murdered more than 6,000 people and burnt down over 5,000 houses inSunchon, South Cholla Province. U.S, imperialism committed everywhere without = wa The U.S. imperialist murderous devils beast, They killed over 800 guiltless in- habitants by the same method in villages in Hamyang and Sanchong counties, The villains also bound a large number of inhabitants with wire, carried them away on trucks and threw them into the sea, Such hair- raising outrages committed in the sea off Cheju Island and South Kyongsand Province were count- less in number. On September 15, 1951, ‘UP’, a reptile news agency of U.S, imperialism, reported that the number of people murdered till the summer of 195] in South Korea after U.S, imperialism ignited the war was no less than one million. Even over 10 years after that many bodies were found in the vicinity of Mt, Chiri located in South Kyong- a - zally killing innocent up at the point of bayonet of US, imperialism. The so-called ‘‘Government of the Republic of Korea’’ is actually a camouflage to ‘‘legalize’’ the military occupation of U.S, imper- jalsim and cover up its colonial rule, and to serve as a tool for faithfully executing the aggression policy of U.S, imperialism. Such a puppet “‘regime’’ can never represent the interests of our South Korean people. The so-called *‘Government of the Republic of Korea’’, an out-and- out anti-popular ‘‘regime’’, com- posed of running dogs and traitors to the nation who have been reared by the U.S, imperialists, only speaks for the interests of ahand- ful of landlords, comprador cap- : a . people, lording it over South Korea which is not their country, not their territory. hesitation all sorts of barbarous atrocities. Such as mass slaughter, collective arson and eviction of in- habitants on the pretext of ‘‘mop- ping up’’ the guerrillas. In 7 count- ries alone including Mungyong and Bohwa countries, North Kyongsang Province, more than 19,000 innocent people were killed and in one year of 1949 alone, more than 109,000 patriotic people were slaughtered aundreds of thousands of houses burnt down and millions of peasants uprooted. Resorting to unheard of sup- sang and South Cholla provinces where murderous outrages were most rampant, when floods caused landslides. It is really shuddering merely to imagine what horrible murders were committed there where black red water flowed even over several years after from ravines when it rained. This is the true colour, of the U.S, imperialist aggressors who crept into South Korea under the cloak of ‘‘liberator’’ and are lord- ing it over South Korea under the pression against the South Korean marks of ‘‘helper’’. people in this way, U.S, imperial- ism sped up war preparations to in- vade the northern half of the Re- public and ignited a criminal ag- gressive war eventually on June 25, 1950 using Syngman Rhee puppet clique as a cat’s paw. But they could not attain their aggressive aim, The heroic Korean people, under the leadership of Comrade Kim Il Sung, the ever-victorious iron- willed brilliant commander and genius in military strategy, dealt a crushing blow at the U.S, imper- ialist aggressors and won a his- toric victory. In those days, U.S, imperialism committed brutal murderous at- rocities outdoing the Hitlerites over South Korea, The U.S, imperialists —bar- barously slaughtered people on a large scale all over South Korea between 1951 and 1952 under the name of ‘‘security of the rear’’, They killed more than 17,000 peo- ple only in two months in Ham- yang, Sanchong and Hadong areas, South Kyongsang Province alone. On February 12, 1951, in a village of Sinwon sub-county, Kochang country, South Kyongsang Province, The U.S, imperialists have never given up their aggressive ambition even after their ignominious defeat in the Korean war. After the conclusion of the Arm- istice Agreement, U.S, imperialism sent Dulles and Stevenson, the notorious warmongers, to South Korea to rig up the so-called ‘*‘Rok- US mutual defence pact’ on August 8, 1953. This ‘‘pact’’ is an aggressive “‘pact’”’ which provides for perpet- uating the occupation of South Korea by the U.S, imperialist aggression army and provoking a new war. In the post-war years, U.S, im- perialism, trying thus to perpetuate it's occupation of South Korea, systematically wrecked and vio- lated the Korean Armistice Agre- 2ment and accelerated preparations for provoking anew aggressive war, and strenvthened its colonial domi- nation over South Korea under the signboard of ‘‘aid’’. To this end, U.S, imperialism continued to use the South Korean puppet regime as its tool. 2, The South Korean puppet re- gime is a tool of colonial rule for they shot to death more than 600 U.S, imperialism. inhabitants including babies and then burned the heaps of dead bodies after spraying gasoline on them. I have mentioned above that the South Korean puppet rezime was set italists and reactionary bureau- crats. That is why South Korean people have never recognized the so-called ‘‘Government of the Re- publice of Korea’’ as their regime. The U.S, imperialists, however, are fond of loudly croaking about an ‘independent state’’ and the like to embellish the South Korean puppet regime. They are running wild to prop up the South Korean puppet regime even by mobilizing the ‘‘United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabili- tation of Korea,’’ a conglomeration of beggars. Since the first days the puppet regime came into existence, we South Korean people have been con- sistantly struggling to smash it. The South Korean people over- threw the Syngman Rhee puppet regime through the April Popular Uprising in 1960. The April Popular Uprising was an eruption of the pent up resentments and wraths of the South Korean people against the puppet regime. Flurried by this, U.S. imperialism installed another Puppet, Chang yon, in the puppet regime. But the South Korean people whose demand, for new life, a new system and a new government had all béen trampled down and who had ‘been robbed of the fruit of the struggle, _» Won at the cost of their blood, by the U.S, imper- ialists and another puppet never ceased their struggle. Particularly, the South Korean people, looking up as a beacon of hope to the northern half of the Republie where a socilaist paradise has been built under the wise leadership of Comrade Kim1!Sung, the great Leader of the 40 million Korean people, waged a vigorous CONT.

FROM LAST PG struggle for freedom, democracy and the peaceful unification of the fatherland under the slogan, ‘‘Uni- fication of the fatherland is the only way to live," The neo-colonialist rule of U,S, imperialism was brought to the verge of total collapse. Driven into a blind alley, U.S, imperialism, as a.desperate at- tempt to preserve their colonial rule, took the road of establishing a fascist, military dictatorship by putting up the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique: The most reactionary ‘‘May 16 military coup d‘etat’’ was cooked up with the scrupulous preparations and under the direct command of U.S. imperialism, This can be clearly testified by the fact that former U,S, imperialist ambass- ador to Japan, Reishower reported to former U.S, president Kennedy that it was ‘‘young military men newly brought up in the battle fields ‘who would shoulder the future of the Republic of Korea and Allen Dulles, director of the U.S, Cen- tral Intelligence Agency at the time of the ‘military coup d'etat’ said that the biggest success in the act- ivities abroad of the U.S, CIA during my term of office was the military coup d‘etat in the Republic of Korea," It was by no means accidental that the U,S, imperialists picked up Pak Jung Hi traitor to play the- title role in the ‘‘May 16 military coup d‘etat’’, Pak Song Bin, father of Pak Jung Hi, was a gangster who was appointed as Nyongwol county head for his ‘‘meritorous service’ in brutally suppressing end murdering the participants of He Kap-o Peasant war, Pak Jung ce the rascal entered the ‘‘Shink- yong military academy"’ of puppet Manchukoo after writing a pledge of allegiance tothe Japaneese ‘‘em- peror’’ with blood and was awarded a gold watch as a ‘‘commendation’’ from Buei, the ‘‘emperor”’ of puppet Manchukoo, for his loyalty to Jap- anese imperialism. In the Japanese “‘military academy’' ,he wascall- ed ‘‘a Japanese of special staff surpassing Japanese’’ because’ of his excessive, frantic loyalty. For this reason he became a lieutenant of the Japanese ag- gression army and slaughtered, wearing a sword, a large number of Korean patriots and people who were struggling for the indep- endence and liberation of Korea, This scoundrel was mobilized to suppress and murder patriots over 110 times in one year, This gangster also won con- fidence as a secret military agent of Japanese military intelligence officers. When Japanese imperialism was defeated, he was handed over tothe intelligence organ of U,S, imper- ialism by Japanese imperialism. Having become a secret agent of U.S, imperialism, Pak Jung Hi, the rascal, wormed his way into the South Korean puppet army and informed against no less than 1,700 conscientious officers and men of the puppet army including 7] pat- riotic officers and men who par- ticipated in the mutiny of military men in Ryosu and Sunchon and had them murdered by October, 1949. He became a trusted secret agent of the ‘U.S, Central Intelligence Agency”’ for this ‘‘service."’ The U.S, imperialists instigated such secret military agent as traitor Pak Jung Hi to seize the puppet regime because they hoped to bridge over the crisis of their crumbling colonial rule in South Korea with the help of such mili- tary ruffian on the one hand and on the other lay a foundation for rump- ing up a new Asian military alliance by banding together this scoundrel and the Japanese militarists, No sooner had he usurped the puppet regime than traitor Pak Jung Hi committed, more-. vicious SALVATION STRUGGLE OF THE SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE NATIONAL countryselling, traitorous acts than arly other preceding successive puppets, To cite only afew instances, there were unprecedented fascist op- pression, the fabrication of the treacherous ‘‘ ROK -Japan Treaty’; and the ‘‘South Korea branch of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’’, the noterious intelligence organ. Besides, the ‘‘U,S, embassy’’ set up the ‘‘office of advisors’’ under the ‘‘tambassador’’ through which it controls and directs the U.S, troop dispatch to Viet-nam, andthe Advisors’ who posted in every sec- selling of South Korea root and branch to the U,S,-Japanese im- perialists and the desperate per- parations for the provocation of a new war, This gangster is serving the two masters, U,S, imperialism and Jap-_ anese militarism, As he was so kowtowing to his former master, Japanese militarism, not to speak of U.S. imperialism, Banbokuono who was one of the bosses of Jap- anese militarism, said that the “relations between you and us are like those between father and son’’ patting on the Pak Jung Hi’s back, This notwithstanding, the gangster was so grateful like a puppy loved by its master that shouted ‘‘long live the Japanese emperor."

From the begin- ning, such running dogs do not and cannot take account of the national interests. This running dog seeks only personal wealth and glory and tries to prolong his dirty remaining days by currying favour with the masters to get even a penny more by hook or crook. U.S. imperialism installed this running dog in the South Korean puppet regime and is manipulating him behind the scenes. Right after he was installed in the puppet regime, the Pak Jung Hi clique was called to the ‘'U,S, embassy”’ once a week to receive instructions, in the course of time, it gave rise to public discussion even in the puppet national assembly since it was too open, so the ‘‘U,S, ambassador”’ flew in a helicopter at midnight and met traitor Pak Jung Hi stealthily to give instruct- ions, This is an open secret in Seoul even children know. These facts alone are enough to show clearly that the “U.S, embassy”’ is, in fact, a govern- ment general, The ‘'U,S, embassy’’ also en- forces the colonial rule over South Korea in allthe political, economic, military, ideological and cultural fields through such local ruling organs as the ‘‘U.S, Information Service in the Republic of Korea’’ which subordinates, seizés and: controls the whole South Korean economy, the ‘‘U.S, army head- quarters in the Republic of Korea’’, a military aggressive set-uphold- ing the right of supreme command over the South Korean puppet army 3, Intensification of war policy men of the Chiank Kai-Shek army already immediate after August 15, and activated it into the puppet army when the puppet regime was rigged up. Following the Korean war, U.S, imperialism has ceaselessly rein- forced the South Korean puppet army, pursuing consistently the policy of provocation of a new war in Korea, Already in 1956, the military strength of the South Korean puppet army was enlarged from 16 divis- ions at the time of armistice to 28 divisions and in one year of 1966 alone, one army division, one marine corps brigade anda number of airplane squadrons were newly organized, War preparations in South Korea have been stepped up on a fuller scale since Johnson, the war chieftain, stole into South Korea and gave instructions to the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique on in- tensifying war preparations inOct- ober, 1966, U.S, imperialism, following the incident of the armed spy ship **Pueblo’’, in particular, rein- forced the South Korean puppet army by newly organizing two in- dependent armored brigades, two or various military bases, munitions factories, military roads, railways and harbors on a large scale, In order to meet increasing mili- tary requirements U,S, imper- ialism and the Pak Jung Hi clique are militarizing the South Korean economy more and more, Since the Pak Jung Hi clique took the helm of the puppet regime, the military expenditure in the budget of the puppet government has more than doubled and the investment in a number of industries of military significance has increased, US, imperialism seeks to use the Japanese militarists as a shock-brigade in a new war of ag- gression in Korea. U.S, imperialism has long sought a criminal-design to revive the Jap- anese militarists and use them as a guide for aggression against Asia. To this aggressive end, U,S, im- perialism manipulated the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique and the Japanese militarists to bring the ‘‘ROK-Jap- an Treaty’? to conclusion and on this basis, is plotting to knock into shape a new ‘‘Asian anti-Com- munist military alliance’’. It is for this reason that the Pak Jung Hi clique, the faithful dogs of U.S, imperialism, are now urg- ing the ‘‘Apals plan’. The Japanese militarists who have watched for a chance of rein- vasion in South Korea are sneaking into South Korea in real earnest, backed by U.S. imperialism, with Pak Jung Hi puppet clique as a guide in a silly, wild fancy to real- ize their old dream of the ‘‘Great- er East Asia Co-prosperity ; ° Sphere’’, | The U.S, imperialists are also mobilizing the South Korean mili- tary potentials for their aggressive war in Vietnam, On instructions of U.S, imper- ialism, the Pak Jung Hi puppet ® clique, ahead of any puppets, threw ~ more troops than any other sat- ellite countries into the battle- ground of the aggressive war in South Vietnam and thus are faith- fully serving U.S, imperialism in the carrying out of its aggressive war, On the bartle-ground of South Vietnam, more than 50,000 South Korean youth and middle-aged have . already been dragged in and are air wings and 10 ‘‘coast guard bat- dying a shameful dog’s death as % * and colonial fascistization policyby talions'’ and activating 3 reserve bullet shields for U.S, imperialism, U.S, imperialism and Pak Jung Hi clique. The key note in the colonial en- slayement policy of U.S. imper- ialism in South Korea is to turn South Korea into their military ag- gression base and their military appendage. U.S, imperialsim, since the first days of its sneaking into South Korea, has cherished ambition not only to reduce South Korea to its colony but also invade the whole of Korea and Asia with South Korea as a springboard, The U.S. imperialists have stat- ioned over 60,000 aggression army troops and the troops of their satellite countries in South Korea and keep a huge puppet army over 700,000 strong. U.S, imperialism has thrown into South Korea 40% of the total amount of its ‘‘aid’’ to the supply of mili- tary equipment and maintenance of the puppet army. This reveals that the so-called “taid’’ of U.S, imperialism is a means of aggression and plunder which aim mainly at maintaining cheap, local hired troops. Originally the South Korean puppet army was organized and trained by the U.S, imperialists in the first days of its activiation. In order to obtain cheap cannon- fodder for its aggressive war U.S, imperialism cooked up the so- called ‘‘National Defence Con- stabularies” by raking up pro- Japanese officers and ex-service- divisions into combat divisions, According to what has been and organized 2, 5 million strong known, the number of the South “‘reserves’’ rapidly reinforcingthe Korean puppet troops killed inSouth U.S, imperialist aggression army Viet Nam stands at no less than occupying South Korea, 22,000.

CON TON UNEXT PAGE works to establish and enlarge THE MILITARY FASCIST RULE OF U.S. IMPERIALISM EA AND NATIONAL - SALVATION SOUTH KOREA KOREAN Korea has reached. U.S, imperial< ism is craftily manoeuvring to dis- tract the attention of the South Korean people and create a distort- ed image of the northern half through these military provo- cations. The South Korean people, how- ever, know well through the incident of the armed spy ship ‘‘ Pueblo” the incident of the spy plane ‘‘EC- 721” and the incident of a mili- tary aircraft shot down while flying over Kumchon in the northern half of the Republic that peace in our country is preserved solely by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea which, in spite of its great strength, is making persevering efforts for peace out of the ardent desire for it. U.S, imperialism resorts to the most brutal military fascist rule to impose its colonial rule and war Policy upon our South Korean peo- ple. The military fascist dictatorship established in South Korea is un- precedentedly despotic and brutal and becomes a model of the nefar- ious fascist rule of imperialism over colonies. The main objective of the fascist policy sought by U.S, imperialism and the Pak Jung Hi clique is to eliminate all socio-political ele- ments which hamper the carrying out of their colonial rule and war policy, To this end, they have rigged up various malignant fascist laws and are extending repressive appara-' tuses on a large scale, covered the whole area of South Korea with the military, police, intelligence and secret-service networks and are driving the whole society into ter- rific horrors. Jung Hi puppet clique created the notorious ‘‘Central Intelligence Agency’’ and expanded on a large scale such repressive apparatuses as puppet police, judicial and pro- secution organs. THE ANTI - U STRUGGLE military fascist rule, and the num- ber of malignant laws forged up to date after the ‘‘military coup d‘etat’’ amount to some 3,000. With the mobilization of these fascist oppression set-ups and malignant laws, they are suppress- ing patriotic and democratic force. U.S. imperialism and the Pak Jung Hi clique already dissolved by force 23 political parties and 238 social organizations for one month following the ‘‘military coup d’ etat’’ and arrested, imprisoned and murdered 130,000 patriotic people. In last one year alone, they mobilized the U.S, imperialist ag- gression troops, puppet army and puppet police totalling 6 millions to blot out the anti-U_S, national sal- vation struggle being vigerously staged throughout, South Korea. They have arrested and impri- soned at random many a South Korean revolutionary and patriot by framing up countless ‘‘cases"’ such as the United Revolutionary Party ‘‘case’’, the People’s Revo- lutionary Party ‘‘case’’, the South Korean Liberation Strategic Party “*case’’, the ‘‘case’’ of the Imja Island revolutionary organization, the ‘‘case’’ of the Society for Com- parative Study of Nationalism, the “‘case”” of Pak Dae In and Kim Kyu Nam, etc, and sentenced them to capital punishment and heavy penalties everyday at the manslau- ghtering “‘trial’’ farce. U.S, imperialism and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique are also perpetrating terrible fascist sup- pression of our South Korean press- men, They keep secret agents of the “Central Intelligence Agency’’ at newspaper offices, publishing organs and civilian radio stations to secretly investigate every day into the ideological trends of the pressmen and _ enforcing harsh “news black-outs"’ through what is called ‘'Censorship system’’, On taking the helm of the “‘re- = ~ bes U.S, imperialist aggressor in South Korea IN IMPERIALIST, THE SOUTH S. OF. PEQPLE conT FROM LAST PAGE and suggested to who received it to distribute it to the starving people. U.S, imperialism and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique, not stopping at this, are suppressing the pres- smen by inventing various ‘‘slip- of-the-pen cases’’ on absure pre- texts. One of the examples is the so-called ‘‘Dongyang Tongshin slip-of-the-pen case’' which they forged in April 1967. The ‘‘slip-of-the-pen case"’ picked flaws with an atricle which had reported the ‘‘three year plan on the completion of combat read- iness’’ mapped out by the puppet ministry of national defence to in- vade the northern half of the Re- public on orders of U.S, imper- ialism. As a matter of fact, ‘‘Dongyang Tongshin’’ only reported after this aggressive plan had already been all made public at the puppet national assembly and also contents of which had been introduced in the “Democratic Republic Party Bul- letin’’ and ‘‘Seoul Shinmoon"’, However, the villains concocted the ‘‘slip-of-th-pen case” on absurd pretext of having let out “military secrets’’ and stretched their tentacles of fascist oppress- ion on 12 newspaper offices, 3news agencies, 5 radio stations and over 60 pressmen including 18 persons of managing-editor level. Besides, they arrest and imprison atrandom abusing the so-called ‘‘National Security Law’’ and ‘'Anti-Com- munist Law’’ when there is any article which is against the grain with them they suppress the press- men by all ways and means, that is, beat journalists during press coverage, confiscate cameras, trail after the pressmen, commit terror - ist outrages, frighten them with blackmail and through telephone calls and close data resources, They also have progressive jour- nalists dismissed, labelling them as “sham'’ journalists and contin- d4@%C South Korea’s national industry totally bankrupt and ruined owning to colonial enslavement policy of U.S. imperialism. The puppet ‘‘Central Intelligence Agency"’ under the direct control and direction of the ‘‘U,S, Cen- tral Intelligence Agency’’ has today become the headquarters of intelli- gence and secret service rule and fascist oppression, which em- braces no less than 15,000 ‘‘Cen- tral Intelligence Agency staff'' and nearly 400,000 ‘‘paid secret agents'’ who are running wild to suppress people. In addition, 50,000 puppet police and more than 320,000 secret police agents are being mobilized for fas- cist oppression in South Korea. The U,S, imperialists andthe Pak Jung Hi puppet clique have also established a ‘‘judicial structure’’ umparalleled in all ages andcount- ries to maintain their tyrannical midintain gime’’, the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique forcibly closed more than 1200 organs of the press and pub- lication including the ‘‘Minjok Ibo’’ sentenced Jo Yong Su, the director of the ‘‘Minjok Ilbo’’ and the In- ternational Journalist Prize- winner, to death and cruelly ex- ecuted large numbers of conscien- tious pressmen, U,S, imperialism and the Pak Jung Hi clique also mercilessy ex- ecuted the managing editor and 6 other journalists of ‘‘Kyongh- yang Shinmoon"' on the charge of violating the ‘‘Anti-Communist Law" for they wrote an article on the compatriotic measures taken by the Government of the Republic to send 2 million sacksof relief rice to the South Korean people, uously close down organs of the press which are not to their liking on unwarranted pretext, Last year alone, the number of publications which they forcibly closed down reached 67 including the ‘University Students Monthly’’ and the “‘Shinsaenghwal’’ (new life). On the other hand the U.S, im- perialists and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique, blowing the ‘‘Anti- Communist” trumpet, stir up an- mity and distrust among kinsmen and are dead set against the peace- ful unification of our fatherland. Refusing doggedly the just and fair line of independent peaceful unification of the fatherland set forth by the Government of the Republic, they advocate only ‘‘uni- THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1970 PAGE 19 fication by prevailing over com- munism"’ and ‘the U.N,- super- vised election’. As to the ‘‘U.N,- supervised ele- ction’’ they advocate, the South Korean people have experienced it so many occasions that they can never tolerate it, The ‘‘U_N,-supervised election’ is a scheme to extend the colonial rule of U.S. imperialism to the northern half of the Republic by the same fraud and treachery as the South Korean puppet regime was rigged up. Due to the war policy and fas- cistization policy pursued by U.S, imperialism and its running dogs, the South Korean people are today groaning under intolerable misfor- tunes and sufferings. In South Korea today, national sovereignty is being ruthlessly trampled underfoot, the national economy and argiculture terribly ruined and national culture is being obliterated completely. The people are even deprived of their elementary democratic rights and freedom and are living in the most difficult condition unparallel- ed in the 5,000 year of history. “Employed workers worked hard for 12-18 hours a day, and yet their income is no more thanone-fifth of the minimum living cost. Those who are in the most mis- erable plight are, among others, women workers, In the domain of textile industry where the over- whelming majority of workers are women, they are forced all-night work for more than 20 hours a day on most occasions, forced to take even non-sleeping pills on the pre- text of munitions production, Women workers are driven hard for such long hours, none the less they are paid 1000-3000 hwan a month, no more than one half of men workers’ which is quite low itself, In South Korea, a piece of candy costs 10 hwan, and how can they sustain themselves when the price they get is only worth a few pieces of candies after having been driven hard all day long? Ia South Korea many workers are living because they cannot kill themselves, bound to the wages less than boarding charge, What else is it if it is not a living hell? The plight of the peasants is more appaling. Peasant households out of provisions have already reached over 2,2 millions or 90% the whole peasant households, their debts have exceeded by far 30,000 hwan per household, and 500,000 peas- ants have left their dear native homes this year in search of living. In this harsh living hell, there are countless people being per- ished because of starvation and their are more lives which wither away before blooming, In a village in Kyonggi Province, a 12 year old boy was so hungry that he went up mountains to dig and take grass roots but he was so exhausted, breathed his last, lying dead on a mountain slope and a clay cake was held in his hand, The last wish of the boy was to take a rice-cake but he could not satisfy it and hence moulded a cake with a clay, and breathed his last stroking. Such heart-breaking stories are every day occurence for us, This is the greatest tragedy, The Pak Jung Hipuppet clique, however, is rejoicing a sumptuous feast at a noble pile by selling the country and sweating the people when the boy was dying such a tragic death. Today in South Korea, nearly 10 million unemployed and semi- unemployed, vagrant orphans, beggers and A-frame men swarm about the streets and villages, the youth in their twenties, without means of living, sell their blood at blood banks and are crying that they want to sell their eye-balls and hearts, Endlessly cursing this suf- focating living hell, they are shout- ing: “*The sky and the earth grind into each other and stick together.’’ Owing to the U,S, imperialist Policy of blotting out national cul- ture, in South Korea today, the fine culture of our nation and our beau- tiful customs are utterly trampled down and obliterated, and depravity, immorality, injustice and cor- ruption of all hues prevail in the whole society, To make things worse, the South Korean people are sheding blood every day due to the brutal atrocities of the U.S, imperialist aggression army and are subjected to intolerable national humiliation and maltreatment, Gadding about quite at home on the South Korean soil, the U.S, im- perialist aggressors slaughter guitless people at random, rape women, set fire to private houses and plunder fortune, To site one or two recent in- stances, in April 1969, bloodsuck- ing U,S, imperialist wolves went hunting at the town of Kumi, Sun- san country, North Kyongsang Pro- vince, and on discovering primary school boys who had climbed the mountain to dig grass roots, shot four of them to death at the dis- tance of several tens of metres. This notwithstanding, they croaked brazen-facedly that ‘‘they shot boys by taking them for roe deers"’ when meeting a strong resistance from the people in the area, Earlier, at Tongiuchun, the wild beast of the U.S, imperialist ag- gresion army kidnapped a Korean woman and were going to satisfy their carnal desire but faced with her desperate resistance, strip- ped her naked and painted her lower part. At Paju they shaved the hair of a Korean woman, In this manner, they committed thrice-cursed atrocities of which even beast would be ashamed, With regard to such outrages committed by the U.S, imperialist aggressors, what have been re- ported by newspapers alone amounts to more than 8 cases per day on an average while what has not been reported is much more than that. This is the true colors of the U.S. imperialists who talk about ‘civilization’. All facts clearly show that the U.S, imperialists are root cause of all misfortunes and sufferings of our South Korean people and are the sworn enemy of our nation and that the Pak Jung Hi clique are a gang of quislings who will be condemned for ever. . 4, Anti-U.S, national - sal- vation struggle of South Korean people The South Korean people can never extricate themselves from the present misforutne and suf- fering nor can the unification of our fatherland be realized unless the U.S, imperialist aggressors are driven out of South Korea and their colonial rule is thoroughly smited, Hence, the revolution in South Korea is a national liberation- revolution against foreign imper- ialist aggression forces and a democratic revolution against feudal forces, In South Korea, the motive for- ces in carrying through national- liberation, democratic revolution are the working class, the peasan- try, its most reliable ally, and students and. intelligentsia and the petty bourgeoisie who oppose imperialism and. feudal forces, and the national capitalists, too, may join in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle. The enemies of the South Korean revolution are the aggressive forces of U.S, imperialism, and the landlords, comprador cap- italists and reactionary bureau- crats who usher in and allyrhem- selves with the US, aggressive forces, of which U.S, imperialism is the No, 1 target of the strug- gle of the South Korean people, Comrade Kim Il Sung, the great CONT.

KOREA AND IMPERIALIST, FASCIST IMPERIALISM THE NATIONAL — SALVATION RULE SOUTH U.S. OF IN ANTI STRUGGLE OF THE SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE Leader of the 40 million Korean people, referred to the basic task of the South Korean revolution as follows: “*The basic tasks of the South Korean revolution are to liqui- date the colonial rule of US, imperialism, to guarantee the democratic development of the South Korean society and to ach- ieve the unification of the country in league with the socialist forces in the northern half,”’ That is why our South Korean people have waged an arduous yet vigorous anti-U,S, national-sal- vation struggle to oppose the colonial enslavement police and military aggression policy of the gressors and attain national lib- eration since the first days of the occupation of South Korea by the U.S, imperialists. The October Popular Re- sistance in 1946, the Feburary 7 National Salvation Struggle in 1948, the struggle against the ruinous “May 10 separate election’’, the April Popular Up- rising in 1%0 which overthrew the Syngman Rhee puppet regime, and the March 24-June 3, 1964 struggle and August 1965 struggle to oppose the country-selling “ROK-Japan Talks’’ and smash the ‘‘ROK-Japan Treaty’’, etc., indeed the South Korean people have never stopped their strug- gles at any time and dealt re- peated heavy blows to the colonial rule of U.S. imperialism through all these struggles. Today the South Korean people are further extending and de- veloping their revolutionary struggle in defiance of the san- guinary oppression of the enemies and are waging an active struggle in all domains, holding higher the banner of the anti-U.S, national- salvation resistance, In particular, our South Korean people, boundless)y admiring Comrade Kim Il Sung, the great Leader of the 40 million Korean people, fully entrust him all their destinies and are vigorously fighting to hasten the day of glory when they would be able to live happily in the affectionate bosom of the Leader. The burning loyalty and bound- less admiration of our South Korean people for Comrade Kim _ ll Sung, the great Leader of our nation who has led the Korean revolution only to victory and glory already for more than 40 years, shouldering the destiny of the fatherland and nation on him- self and plowing all the waves for himself, are now surging vic- toriousty as never before. Workers, peasants, youth and students intellectuals and the en- tire South Korean people of all kinds who have national con- science revere and admire Com- rade Kim II Sung, the respected and beloved Leader, as the great sun of our nation, the genius Leader of the Korean people and one of the outstanding leaders of the international Communist movement and working-class movement, It is a widely known fact that in 1960 at the time of the April Popular Uprising a mother in Seoul, seated on her side her son and his comrades-in-arms who were about to go out for struggle and showed the portrait of Com- rade Kim Ii Sung that had been kept carefully in a wardrobe, and bade them earnestly to fight firm- ly by emulating the revolutionary idea of Comrade Kim II Sung who had restored the ruined country by organizing and leading the anti- Japanese armed struggle for 15 long years to the liberation of the country and happiness of the peo- ple and who had built the paradise on earth in the northern half. of the Republic. On the eve of the 20th an- niversary of the founding of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea a family decided to send a gift of loyalty to Comrade Kim Il Sung the re- spected and beloved Leader. But they had nothing but their loyalty to him, the family dis- cussed about how to prepare a gift filled with their whole heart and soul in every way. 3 The second daughter-in-law, who sat mute and silent, produced a piece of red velvet cloth and Suggested to embroider some- thing on it, This velvet cloth was the only. treasure which she had bought with the earned money saved little by little before her marriage. Thus, from that day onthe whole family gathered by the lamplight and began to embroider needle . by needle every night. On such occasions the old mother of the family would watch outside the gate and the daughter-in-law pre- pare even chilly powder-bombs for emergency. Such a night lasted really for one long year, Finally on the red velvet cloth was an embroidered map sym- bolizing the unified fatherland and on the upper part of the map the letters ‘‘Longevity to Marshal Kim Il Sung!’ with reverence. This gift with letters written by the family and the embroidery needled by the family shows most excellently the burning constant fidelity of the South Korean peo- ple to the Leader, Similar examples couldbe cited without end, There is an instance that Mrs. Kim Sook Hi sent by parcel. elaborately embroidered handkershiefs as a gift to him, with the letters ‘‘Unification of North and South’’, together with a letter filled with her ardent desire to enjoy happiness to the full in the bosom of the Leader. 2 Se ing before many passengers in a train that the sun of Korea is Marshal Kim Il Sung and that the Korean people have to receive his leadership to live happily. Pounced upon by the police, he said that ‘I look up to Mar- shal Kim LI Sung as our fatherly Leader. How can it become a crime?” and shouted ‘‘Long live General Kim Il Sung!"’ The en- thusiastic admiration for the Leader is rapidly mounting among the South Korean puppet army as well, At a puppet army division 5 privates loudly shouted, ‘Long live Marshal Kim II Sung, the peerless patriot and the great Leader of the nation|’’ and ‘‘ Long live the Democratic People’s Re- public of Korea"’ before more than 500 colleagues. An officer of the puppet army shouted manfully ‘‘Long live General Kim IL Sung}’’ saying that the ‘*ROK armed forces'’ had to fight only upholding the teaching of Marshal Kim Il Sung in order to save themselves from their present cursed plight. The South Korean people are thus fighting vigorously along the line of the South Korean revolution set forth by him, boundlessly ad- miring Comrade Kim Il Sung, the respected and beloved Lead- er. A few youth of the normal college of the Seoul University including its graduates and stud- ent Kim Ki Soo, respecting and admiring Marshal Kim Il Sung, the only Leader and the outstand- ing Leader of our nation, or- ganized and managed from 1965 a “chair of Communist ed- ucation’’ where the immortal works of the Leader were studied and discussed. On July 4, 1967 they had* administered an oath pledging to be loyal to the Leader and the organization at the cost of their lives on the back hill of the Sajik Park in Seoul each holding a flag of the Republic in the right hand and then read out the ‘written oath to Marshal Kim Il Sung.”” The South Korean revolution- aries and the patriotic people are waging an active struggle to con- solidate firmly the Marxist- Leninist Party, general staff of the revolution, rally workers and peasants around it, organize a mighty main force of the revo- lution and form a broad anti-U,S. national-salvation united front embracing the patriotic and de- mocratic forces of all strata, holding aloft the teaching of the Leader who said that ‘‘The basic Miserable livelihood of the S. Korean people trampled down under the military fascist tyranny of the U.S. imperialists and Pak Jung Hi clique. Another example is an old man who sent a4 gift of wild ginseng kept from generation to gene- ration generation, wishing a long life to the Leader. Also a peasant, Ri Nan Byok by name, living at Karyongri, Busan Sub-county, Janghung county, South Cholla Province, in- troduced and propagated the dev- line of the South Korean revolu- tionary forces from the enemy's suppression and, at the same time consistantly accumulate and expand them in preparation for the decisive hour of the revolution,’”’ The United Revolutionary Party formed in 1964 with comrade Kim Jong Tae and.

Armed guerrilla detachments carried out raid battles on more than 120 occasions during the later half of 1967 alone every- where in South Korea and execu- ted 476 US, imperialist ag~ gression troops and vicious run- ning dogs of whom 40] were per- sonnel of the U.S. imperialist aggression army. The revolutionary armed guer- rillas advanced even into the heart of Seoul, the den of reac- tion, on January 21 last year and executed milignant dos:s including the chief of the puppet Jongro police station and destroyed 4 military trucks, Moreover, the South Korean people war waging mass strug- gles such as labour disputes and sit-in strikes and demonstrations everywhere to oppose the war policy and fascist oppression of U.S. imperilaism. and Pak Jung Hi clique and to win the right to live and democratic rights. Such mass struggle of the South Korean people continues to rapidly develop, embracing, in 1968, over 1,110,000 persons nearly twice as many as in 1966. Particularly, of late, they have waged a valiant struggle against the long-term office scheme of the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique dir- ected under the manipulation of U.S, imperialism. The just strug- gle to smash the scheme for the “Constitutional Amendment for the third consecutive Presiden- tial term’’ hatched by the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique lasted for three months and the more the enemies intensified oppression the more the struggle was stepped up and its flames spread rapidly all over South Korea including Seoul, Pusan, Taegu and Kwangju. Our journalists and other men of the press, too, are ever more sharpening their pens of justice in close co-ordination with the anti- U.S, national — salvation struggle of the people, and are encouraging their struggle and exposing and accusing all crim- inal manoeuvres of the enemies by using legal possibilities to the maximum. Today, the South Korean people know well that they can beat the enemies and attain the real free- dom and liberation only by their own decisive struggle and realize the truth that they have to closely ‘integrate the strugyle to drive out the (\.S. imperialist aggres- sors and overthrow their colonial rule by the struggle to seize power, As historical experience shows freedom and liberation can not be attained spontaneously without Struggle and the people can seize the power only by means of vio- lence, That is why the South Korean people are now doiny all they can to prepare for a decisive strugyle for power. The .colonial. fascist rule of US, -imperialism and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique is now crumbling beyond retrieve andthe more the bloody oppression of the enemies is intensified, the more vigorously the revolutionary ad vance of the South Korean people becomes, ¥ Our South Korean people will definitely sweep the enemies by violence and reyain the lost peo- ple’s power. The U.S, imperialist aygressor:. are destined to’ be forced out of South Korea and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique will not escape the stern judgement of the people. Victory belonys to our South Kor- ean people fightiny along the road of revolution illuminated by Com- rade Kim Il Sung, the great Leader of the 40 million Korean people, peerless patriot, national hero, ever - victorious, iron - willed brilliant commander and one of the outstanding leaders of the inter- national communist movement and working class movement. When the South Korean revolut- ion is accomplished, we shall real- ize the peaceful unification of the fatherland, the long cherished de- sire of our nation, in unity with the socialist forces in the northern half. Thus our South Korean revolution is accomplished, we shall realize the peaceful unification of the father- land, the long cherished desire of our nation. in unity with the socialist forces in the northern half. ‘Thus our South Korean people, too, will live happily in the benevolent bosom of Comrade Kim IU Sung, our great Leader.

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 shuffled about like cattle on a open range, that is to say that Black people have not been able to settle down and get themselves to gether for the purpose to determine our own destiny. The fascist power structure has used this technique against Black people to keep us confused as to whcih way we are going. The Black Panther Party under- stands .the madness, that is being perpetrated against our people by anti-human fascist, who are di- rectly responsible for the condi- tion in which Black people are forced to live under, And because of this madness, our party has come forward to, relieve some of this misery that is catising our people so much suffering andhard- ship. Today we are giving away cloth- ing to you free of charge. We ask you to come to 1202 N. Gay street and take what you need. This is a socialist program designed to meet the needs of the masses of oppressed people here in racist America. ALL POWER TO THE’ PEOPLE! John L.
