These conditions are so bad, that it's not even healthy for the rats, roaches, and other insects, to live in, I'm surprised they haven't tried ‘tO move on this avaricious sys- tem sooner, The sidewalks in Brownsville are cracking up, and the streets are caving in, Just about 4 month or two ago, the street fell in, the hole was about 30 ft, wide and about 20 ft. deep, When we in- vestigated, we found out that it wis hollow. When the men came to repair (dump some asptiak in there) the hole, we questioned them about it and they said some jive about the water ate the sand and cement away. Another incident Is when the street fell In on Herzl Street, about 3 - 4 days ago. k's about to get wider and about 6 fr. deeper. All through Brownsville the streets are sinking in, and it takes the city about three weeks to repair these bad conditions thar the people have to live in, Believe it or not, the people living in this community are pay- ing $150.00 a month and many of therm pay more than that. For those of you who don’r be- weve tat these conditions exist in this country, why don’t you take a ride down Sutter Ave. to Herzl, up Herzl to Bast New York Ave. Turn right and go down East New York Ave. to Amboy and down Amboy. Just generally check out the conditions thar the people live in and what we're fighting against. Brownsville is only one of the many old worn~<down communities and at the same time people in Brownsville and other commu- nities are Living in badconditions, dying and getting sick from those conditions, the off the wall barrell herded pigs that run this country are sending idiots to the moon and allegedly helping other coun- tries survive, and freeing them. But how canthey free themwhen the people within its own coun- try are dying and are not free. Now in the Declaration of Inde- pendence it states, “THAT WHEN- EVER ANY FORM OF GOVERN- MENT BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE IN THESE ENDS, ITS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR ABOLISH IT AND INSTITUTE A NEW GOVERNMENT," So because of the fact that in a capitalist system there has to be classes of people, therefore we must destroy this system by any means and if you had any sense you would jola in our struggle for Liberation, Let’s deal with Brownsville, and the many communities like it, “WE WANT DECENT HOUSING FIT FOR THE SHELTER OF HU- _ MAN BEINGS”. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE x ® DEATH TO THE FASCIST PIGS! DRUGS AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY OF WINSTON SALEM The ruling class pigs’ appa- ratus for oppressing the people becomes less and less effective, because of the uncompromising desire of the poor and oppres- sed people to gain their libera- thon (by any means necessary). We seo, therefore, an influx of drugs being sent into the com- munities of the poor and oppres- sed throughout this racist op- pressive system, which we have seen is losing 4 genocidal war in Indochina and is rapidly in- creasing its alms and objectives in another ‘was, that war being the total genocide of Black peo- ple here in America. All through- our this sadistic, capitalistic na- tion from Black community to Black community, we are seeing thag the youth as well as the older generation of our people are belng systematically driven into 4 condition so dehumanizing that anything that will take them as far from reality as possible, be- comes their only outlook, This es- cape from reality by the usage of drugs, leads to the Inevitable-- the user’s death, This genocidal attempe by the ruling class pigs has affected ev- ery Black community (as well as some white) in epidemic propor- tions. Ia most cases, Blick peo- ple are the ones who are suf- fering most, because of their in- ability to be able to afford the high cost of drugs. This evenr- ually leads to robbery by the user and his eventual incarceration, In what once was a Winston- Salem far detached from the serlous drug problems that ov- ery major city of most other states were experiencing, you can now stand on virtually any corner and watch as drugs are being distributed from the Gealer to the pusher, In the more impoverished areas, the sight of a junkie nod- ding on a stoop or corner is be- coming common-place, In New York, 48 an example of the genocidal effects of drugs upon our youth, over 700 Black people have died since January 1, 1970, in which the overwhel- ming majority have been under twenty-five years old, as com- pared to 900 deaths ateributed to drug usage the whole year of 1969. Drugs taken on 4 daily basis render a person totally incap- able of controlling his thoughts or actions, and in most cases eventually lead to the death of the user, Crime becomes the worry of the day, as the junkie is forced to steal (to support his costly chemical habit commonly known as a Jones), The community gets uptight, because the junkie Lives with us, therefore, he is forced to steal from us. More pigs are sem into the community under the disguise of the need to help combat the soaring crime rate in the community, but in real- ity they are here to murder and brutalize as many people in the community as ts piggishly pos- sible. Jive rehabilitation pro- grams set up by jive politicians do nothing but operate 48 pac- ification programs to keep the community unaware as to who is putting drugs in the commun, Neither do these programs help remove the conditions that the junkie is crying to escape, The Black Panther Party re- cognizes that only through the combined efforts of the Black community can we combat the plague. Any program to deal with the problems of our community should be run by the commani- ty. We must combine and double our efforts to stamp out this plague, and we will.

During the five days of July 12 through the 17th, there was a re- bellion--what has to be realized is that this was no riot, this was 4 revolt against overt racism, a- gainst pigs wantonly beating, mur- dering and torturing Black people; @ revolt against unfit housing, low welfare allotments, city bankrupe- cy and high taxes. During these live days, racist local pigs, as well as the national guard, ran amuck In the Black community-- murdering, brutalizing and wound- ing thousands of people, people whose only ‘‘crime’’ was to stand in their window or on their por- ches to see what was going on. Racist national guard troops shot up untouched stores (owned by Black people), shot up Hayes Homes and orher projects, running up the stairs yelling ‘‘Kill all the niggers, we are going to have to kill them anyway.”’ This operation is the same as, the massacre actions used against the people in Songmy and Mylac and villages of Cambodia, Latin America and Africa--it was an invasion of Black people's ter- ritory--it was @ declaration of war, and the crimes those gestapo SS troops committed must be con- sidered War Crimes, Immediately after this action, dope--a multitude of dope was Poured into the community. Black people gor hung upon drugs. Young kids wandered the streets boking for ‘scag’ and older people drank themselves into oblivion: they had witnessed 80 much, and were vic- tims of torture, brutality and mur- der in its highest form, People were mad; they were mad at the pigs and mad at Whites that formed into vigilante groups with Mafloso Imperiale at their head. Black peo- ple let it be known thar those tac- tics didn't scare them and let those Whites know that ifthey dare come riding through the community that they had better be prepared NOT to leave, Black people hadreached a level where our National Sal- vation from racist KKK-type in- vasions meant more to us than being afraid of the force of the pigs. After five days, the pigs with- drew, They withdrew because the atrocities they had committed had forced our people to realize that Counter-Attack was the only way to survive; they (he pigs) grew afraid of niggers realizing that guns in defense of our lives and families against the (paper tiger) might of the occupation troops and their racist, murderous activities was what had to come --guerrillas who knew thelr neighborhoods like they know the backs of their hands, who could attack and withdraw into unknown homes and be shelrered, looked after and protected by a people joined in 4 united effort to rid themselves of gestepo troops. They (he pigs) are still afraid, and they will continue to be afraid, because they are on unfamiliar ground, surrounded by angry Black people, people who are fighting for liberation, The lop- sided statistics of that ‘‘thearreof war’’ stands out in our minds-- 24 dead, hundreds brutalized and thousamés arrested--AND 2 ene- mies dead, Now in 1970, the federal gov- ernment grants money—green Paper to pay for the darnage done, which exposes the Capitalists" heart, and shows us that they still belleve that Black lives can be paid for with their currency. We want to know how can money take the place of broken bodies, mur- dered people, broken arms, legs; how can money pay for the damage done toour babies’ minds? How can they pay? With the abolishment of the local pig force in its present form--WE NEED COMMUNITY CONTROL OF PO- LICE--with the power of a unired people this can be brought about. No pacification program, in- cluding 4 ‘'Black Mayor’’, because we know chat although the face changes color--the Imperiale’s, Addonizio’s, and Spina’s remain behind the scenes manipulating and pulling the strings, profiting from our oppression, will deter us from our task of making NEWARK-- the City of Crisis--OUR CITY-- LIBERATED TERRITORY!

Friday and Saturday were typical examples of the type of fascist tactics used by the pigs, when the people start to move for freedom and pet an end to police brutality, The pigs occupied the entire Puerto Rican community (which consists of about twenty to thirty square blocks), The community is like « war-torn bartlefield, houses with walls blown off, lots with old bulld- that have fallen down, even people who Live next to fire ha- zard traps (th = the jive ciry should have tora down years ago), The people ee congested into apart- ments that are not adequate for the number of chikiren that oc- cupy the apartments of these fam- ilies, This is another Brownsville in the Puerto Rican comunity of Jersey City. this is the area occupied by the fascist troops of the Jersey Pig Department. They had pigs on every corner of the Puerto Rican community, five and six strong, and the pigs thinking they are slick had ten unarmed cars with four pigs in each car, There were plain clothed pigs (Bleck, White and Puerto Rican) walking the streets of the community to contain or try to suppress the peo- ple’s justified response to pig bru- tality. The type of occupation that the pigs used Is a classical exam- ple of what the pigs have in mind for all oppressed people, whenever they get uptight over what the pigs do to the people and move in a Spontaneous manner and not in he defense method. This type of oc- cupation also educated the people to moves the pigs plan to make when they move to exterminate Black people and all oppressed people, when the people start off- ing the pigs and bringing the armed phase of the revolution tothe fore- front. People must wake up to the fact that when pigs run amuck and beat brothers and sisters, mothers and their babies, going into people's homes supposedly In- vestigating, but beating people in thelr own homes, then we know that the pigs will stop at nothing to repress the oppressed for re- sisting the pigs and the entire pig power structure. The people must be educated to the pig power structure and howto resist it. The people must pick up guas in defense of our homes, families, and our communities, to combat the pigs, The people must arm themselves politically with the ideology of the Black Panther Party and organize armed self-defense groups to begin to fight for life because that’s where the struggle is at today, The struggle is not and will not stagnate, because the people are the motive force mov- ing society and the struggle for- ward and to ever greater heights, the people will fulfill their role and make revolution to eliminate all pigs from the face of theearth, to bring peace for all the oppressed people of the world, ARM YOUSELF AND SEIZE THE TIME!

OD, POLITICAL KU KLUX KLAN History bas taught us that when a Society has become so decadent, archaic and inhuman that k is nearing the very brink of destruc- tion, that society, in a last ditch effort, will utilize any and all means available to perpetuate is beastly existence. One such means is the creating of divisions or contradictions between the peoples of thet society, thus minimizing the chance of a total people's front against an oppressive society. Here in Babylon this tactic has, in the past, been almost totally drawn along racial lines, but to- day, due to the changing political Scene, we can clearly see this t tactic taking on a new form. A form wrapped in fascism, second- arily racist, a form that is pri- marily politica], counter-revolu- tionary and designedto reekhavoc, death and destruction upon all Peace loving and progressive peo- ple, in this racist, fascist and decadent nation. This terroristic tactic designed by the warmonger- ing C.1.A,, authorized by the hit- leristic Nixon-Agnew-Mitchell re- gime, and implemented by the C,LA, and the avaricious, sadis- tic, blood thirsty, thieving, dema- gogle union leaders with the vita} support of the gestapo forces of Babylon; the F,B,1, and the front Une pig policeman, is embodied in the form of construction work- ers, te: hard hats, These mental degenerates are destined, by plan, to become the smokescreen for the swiftly emer- ging fascist state developing with giance strides here in Babylon. They are being viciously programmed to become the political Ku Klux Klan of America implementing and carrying out political genocide on Black people and all peace loving and progressive people in fascist America, To understand why this contra- diction exists we must look to the Minister of Information of the Black Parsher Party who stated very clearly in the "Ideology of — the Black Panther Party"’ thar “through long and bitter struggles, the working class (hard hats) has mace some inroads into the cap- ttalistic system, carving out a comfortable niche for itself. The advent of Labor Unions, Collec- Uve Bargaining, The Union Shop, Social Security and other special protective legislation has cas- wated the working class, trans- forming it into the bought off la- bor movement--a most unrevolu- tionary, reformist minded move- mene that is only interested in higher wages and more job se- curity.’" So we can clearly see why this contradiction exists and why these foolish ‘hard heads’ could be so easily manipalared by the fascists and transformed into the flag-waving cannon fodder for the defense and perpetuation of a racist, fascist, imperialistic, in- human nation, Social practice is the criterion for the truth and by the overt actions of the mentally hard head hard hats we can See very chear~- ly that they are pigs and should be treated as such.

The prosecution, insepa- rating McLucas and speeding up the proceedings against him, hopes to push through one quickie trial in this case, get a conviction on the books, and then use it against the other defendants who come to trial later. McLucas was Area Captain of the Black Panther Party at the time of his arrest in May, 1969, Ile is one of 9 Party memibers, in- cluding National Chairman Bobby Seale and Deputy Chairman Ericka Huggins, who have been charged Alex Rackley, who the police claim was an informer. The Panthers have stated repeatedly that Rackley was a member in good standing of the Party who was murdered by George Sams, 4 psychotic po- lice agent. ‘The strategy being followed by by State's attorney Arnold Markle, backed up by Superior Court Judge Harold Mulvey, is simple: they want to divide and conquer whe Ge~- fendants as part of a larger at- tempt to destroy the Black Pan- ther Party. They hope to isolate the defendants, put increased pres- sure on them, try each separately, and eventually break the morale of the Panthers and their sup- porters with a continuous stream of trials. Of course Markle and Mulvey have lors of legalistic excuses for justifying this course of action. In order to try Lonmniie McLucas separately, despite the fact tharhis case has been handled along with the others for the past year, Mar- kle filed 4 motion to sever. He argued this motion in court on Friday, May 22nd--exactly one year after the first arrests in this case were made, Lawyers for all) 9 defedants were in court to fight Markle’s move. PRESS RELEASE... THE TRIAL OF LONNIE WeLUchS STARTED JULY July 1970 The trial of the first of the New Havea 9 starts tomorrow at 10:00 a.m, Lonnie McLucas’s jurors have been selected. The railroad is about to begin. One of the tactics of the fascists and the New Haven court, in particular, ds to divide and conquer. They have succeeded in separating the defendants in this case legally. They must realize that the New Haven 9 will not and cannot be humanly or polit- ically separated, They feel they can convict one Pamher of the ‘gmurder of Alex Rackley, Thus, NEW HAVEN i] i Hy - t) : | i] The hearing took place In the tiny courtroom that the Srate still insists on using despite the fact wat there are never enough seats for the people who want to witness the proceedings, down the hall. So once again, the spectator section was filled to capacity, the six de- fense lawyers were crowded around a small table, and the press overflowed into the jury box, The layout of this closet-sized court- room is such that the spectators cannot even see most of the pro- ceedings. When the lawyers stood to speak on Friday, they were prac- tically on top of State’s Attorney Markle, who looked ill at case over the whole affair. When the proceedings started, Attorney Theodore Koskoff ob- jected to the fact that his client, McLucas, was not even present for what was obviously a crucial moment in his case. It is the re- sponsib‘ity of the Seate’s Attorney to see thar the defendants are pre- sem when thelr cases are being argued in court, but Markle ap- parently chose to ignore this obli- gation, brothers and sisters in the Party had brought him some clo- thing and other personal belongings that Lonnie had requested, ex- pecting to be able to give them to him, but this was made impos- sible by Markle’s action. It all added up to one thing: Markle con- Sidered the session aformality that had to be gone through, but he was 80 confident that Judge Mulvey would rule in his favor thar he did not even make the effort to have Lonnale present, or, for that matter, to answer the arguments of the defense lawyers demanding a joint thal, Markle's argument for a separate trial for McLucas, be- lieve it or mot, was that he wanted to assure the Panthers’ right to a fair crial? He said in arguing the motion, “I'm in the unusual position of trying to allow fora fair tria].’’ He claimed that he bad evidence, confessions and state- ments that he could use against Lonnie, but which would be pre- judicial tf used in a joins trial of all 9 defendants, opening the door to convictions in the other cases. We believe chat the judges and prosecutors have only one jury--the people. The peo- ple know that this is a political trial, @ political railroad, They know that the Black Panther Party is not guilty. it is fascism that is guilty, that has conspired against the Party and all progressive peo- ple. It is fascism that is trying desperately to murder our Chair- man Bobby Seale, All diet we have to do is look a the similarity between the casesof the NewHlaves 9 and the New York 21, Hoth of the Seare’s star witnesses are psy ~ The absurdity of this argument was feen in the fact that the law- yers for all 9defendents were arg- ulng just the opposite; thar the only possible way thelr clients might get 4 falr tria] was Lf they were all tried together, Lonnte’s lawyer, Koskoff, was the first to argue against Mar- kle’s motion, He stated that sep- arate trials “will result in an un- constitutiona] denial of a fair trial,"’ He went on to say that separate trials might be in order if the defense was asking for them, but since they weren't, the State had no business saying chat ie would be fatrer to have separate trials. In fact, Koskoff argued, it was separate trials that would be unfairly prejudicial, First of all, be polnted out, the person tried first (in this case, Lonnie) would mot have the benefit of the *estimony of his alleged co-con- spirators. They would not be like- ly to testify before their own trials took place, but would take the Sth Amendment instead, Per- haps even more important, sep- arate trials would mean that all the sensational “evidence’’ from the first trials would be publi- cized, and wouk! make fair trials for the later defendants evenmore impossible. There were other cogent argu- nents «against separate trials. Koskoff pointed out that multiple trials would greatly increase de- fense costs, since every lawyer will have to be at each rrial, will have to buy five times as many trans- crits, and so on. Finally, Kos- koff pointed out that 4 joint trial, Markle's arguments not withstand- ing, was called for under Connec- ucut law, He stated that “‘it Is the policy of this court to try this kind of case jointly,” and thar fur- thermore, Connecticut law hokts thag justice Is better served when defendams charged with the same erime dre tried together. The lawyers for the other de- fendants rose in succession to “make tt clear that thelr clients: also wished a joing trial, and felt that justice woukd be better served in that fashion. Catherine Rora- back, lawyer for Ericka Huggins, Frances Carter, and Margaret Hudgins (Peggy), pointed out thar if there were separate trials, the State would have the power to grant @ partial immunity to some of the Gefendants. This would force them to testify against each other, or be held In contermpt, as has hap- pened already to onc of her clients, Frances Carter. Secor Melville, lawyer for Pan- ther member Rose Smith, endorsed the previous arguments, andadded two arguments of his own. He stared thet the problem of prejudicial press coverage wis @ real one, since “‘the ones who have outnumbered the press corps at these bearings have been the po- lice,” He alse made clear that even thourl: the charges against his client are peripheral, he de- sires a wim rial, These argu- ments were further endorsed by Edward Flynn, the lawyer for George Edwards, who stated ther there was no possible public inter- est in having separate trials. Finally, David Rosen, the local attorney for Bobby Seale, rose to chotics, George Sams and Sean Dubommet. Both cases have exam- ples of brutal torture. Especially in the case of the women prison- ers in New Haven and Joan Bird in New York. In all of the attacks against the Party, one thing has always been presem, the denial of all constitutional rights and all human rights. For example, the denial of reasonable bail and in- tolerable jail conditions were ram~- pant in both New Haven and in New York. So it is clear that the state is preparing to move against the New liaven 9 as 4 croup, and 14, 1970 THE BLACK PANTHER, speak, He tried to indicate Seale’s Support for a joint trial, but was cut off before he began. The judge Stated simply that “your client hasn't been put to plea yet"’--a ridiculous technicality--and indj- cated that Rosen would not be al- lowed to speak, Hut it was evi- Gert that Seale, like the other de- fendants, favored a joint trial in which he could join his accused brothers and sisters in the Party to face together the trumped-up charges against them. As usual, the judge “‘reserved decision’, and court was adjourned for the weekend, On Monday, the collective nature of the defense was made evident once again whea the defendants met Jointly with theirlawyers to plan thelr stra- tegy. These meetings are very hard to arrange, since the Panthers are being held in four jails ar dif. ferent corners of Connecticut. The conditions under which the meer- ings take place also make them dif- ficuk; the court order allowing meeting stipulates that ‘‘the de- fendants shall be seated at a table approximately two feet apart, and facing windows on the west side of the courtroom,” so that they can be viewed from the windows at all times. The defendants must request permission to use the barh- room, and only one may leave at atime, and must be accompanied by @ guard, This kind of grade School humillation has pot, how- ever, affected the defendants in any way, andthey managedto carry out 4 fruitful meeting. It was on Monday night--after the meeting of the defendants was over--that Mulvey announced that he was granting the motion for a separate trial for McLucas, begin- ning in two weeks (June 9), The prosecutor, the judge, and Police would like to pretend in public that this is "just another murder trial", The Scate of Con- necticut vs. Loanle McLucas, Doc- ket #15672. But they aren't fooling anyone, The case has been handled from the very start by the police and the press as the crial of the Black Panthers. Even in the hal- lowed document room of the court- house, the boxes {n which the mo- tlons for this case are officially filed are labelled “Black Pan- thers". And of course the Pan- thers andtheir supporters know that this is, indeed, a political trial, designed to crush the Pan- thers, and that as such it has lit- tle to do with murder, conspiracy, or anything of the kind, As Tom Hayden pointed out in his speech om the New Haven Green in sup- port of the New Haven 9, ‘The facts are 4s irrelevant in this case in Connecticut as facts are irre- Jevara about Vietnam and whether the Vietcong commit terror, If people are worried about (these things), we should say one thing: the United States should withdraw its troops from Vietnam and from the ghettos and let the people in Vietnam and in the ghettos of this country decide for themselves,” Thar the facts in this case are basically irrelevant, and that the proceedings in court are just so much hogwash, they should not in any way be taken to mean that the proceedings should be ignored. k Lonafe McLocas in particular.

And it is important to show our Panther sisters andbrothers that we sup- port them constantly, especially whlle they are being held In the confines of a judicial system that knows no justice. Lonnie McLucas faces a very tough trial, He is one of three people the police have charged with actually murdering Alex Rackley. One of the three, George Sams, has been shown to be a psychotic and a police agent, and can be expected to say whatever the pro- secution wants him to. The other person, Warren Kimbrough, gave in to pressure put on him (es- pecially by his brother who is 4 pig officer in Florida) and bar- gained a plea of second-degree murder, It is not known what his testimony against Lonnie will be, and how much he will be willing to repeat che stories the pigs and prosecution make up, But in any case, his plea will make Lonnie’s tria] that much more difficult. The outlook for the coming months inside the courtroom is unclear at this point. Lonnie’s law- yers will fight the effort to push him into a sped-up and separate trial, but it looks likely chat a separate trial for him will in fact begin. After that, it appears that the prosecution will push for four additional tials; one for Ericka lluggins, Rose Smith, and Marga- ret Hudgins, one for George Ed- wards, one for Bobby Seale, andone for Landon Williams and Rory Hithe (who still have not been ex- tradicted from Colorado), in that order. With the exception of Lona- nie’s trial, this is all quite in- definite, but it is conceivable that the rials, which would probably take place one at a time, will last ag beast until the summer of 1971, — ‘The trial of Lonnie McLocas is the first phase of the trial that the slogans FREE LONNIE, FREE BOBBY, FREE THE NEW HAVEN 9, AND FREE ALL PO- LITICAL PRISONERS all amount to the same thing, and must he treated in that way.

Just as Hitler planned and put into prac- tice! the genocidal murder of 6 million Jews, the Nixon-Agnew Mitchell regime plans to try to put inte practice Uielr massive plan for systematic genocide on Black people at home as well as people of color abroad. The murder of Larry Ward deals with both because he fought fin the Vietnam war. Having been in the armed services two years, Ward had been wounded twice in battle and received an honorable discharge in March of 1970, Back home again, he began to relate with the brothers off the block, but Larry Ward was more on the quiet side and ne- ver made loud boasts or Gealt with what is callec extremist ac- tions.

For 2 long time Mrs. Delly had spoken to her neighbor concerning the neighbor's dog. The dog would emer Mrs. Delly’s yard and. defi- cate all over her yard, On June 14, 1970, tt appeared thar the neigh- bor had given the dog a laxative, because her yard was really messed up. She couldn't use it for anything, not even for hanging out clothes: because of the odor thar filled the air. Mrs, Delly contacted her neighbor again andaskedher if she would do something about the dog because she would like very much to be able to use her back yard, After talking, her neighbor's busband came out and attacked Mrs. Delly, fully aware that she had been in bed sick for a week. After the attack by the so-called neighbor, Mrs. Delly wen and sat outside on her front steps; that's when she noticed the neighbors had called the pigs. The fascist pig, badge number 769 approached her and stated that she was under arrest. After a few minutes had passed, one more pig arrived, then five more came and began to beat Mrs. Delly brutally. The woman who lives next door is 4 White woman; the pigs didn’t say anything toher, which proves one again that the ilkimore fascist pigs are racist to the core. Mrs. Delly has even offered to pay for the cost, if the neighbor woukd take the dog to an animal hospital and have & cured of what- ever is wrong with k. She also called the city officials to have something done about this dog. However, there has been no re- sponse mace other than the pigs coming out to arrest Mrs. Delly for asking her neighbor to do some- thing about ber dog, that has been messing up her yard for days. The beating and macing of Mrs. Delly was uncalled for.

He had just been discharged from the Marine Corp a couple of "eeks before, As they sa talking, 4 car load of racist pigs drove up to his house wirh their guns drawn, ready to shoot, They said chat they had a war- rant stating that the F,B.1, was looking for him and also the Ma- rineCorps. They never gave any reason why they were looking for him. Brother Bobby had his discharge papers with him stating that he had been discharged on Jane 5, 1970. Because of the ra- cist nature of rhese blood thirsty goons, Brother Bobby was for- tunate that he wasn’t killed by these Pigs. This should prove to Black peo- ple that a Black man can have mo peace or justice in this deca- demt society.

Last week, the N.C.C.F. re- cleved a call from Mary Ann Brooks, who is a Registered Nurse, employed by Kate Bitting Reynolds Memorial Hospital, which owns the city.

They were so hung up and tripping out, per- forming as lackeys, that they could not sec the real oppressor. Huey P, Newton teaches us that it is the lumpen chat will be in the vanguard of the struggle. We see that this is true because those with a so-called education are simply being programed to func- tion as puppets in this decadent society. And it is clear that they want nothing changed, I you con- trol a nigger’s mind, you con- trol his body, The lackeys have no minds, so therefore they find themselves being manipulated by the administrators, The lumpen still have their minds to some extent, and therefore cannot be used by the oppressor, Anytime people put the value of money over the life of any human being, we see this society as being sick. We see a need to change in this decadent s0- ciety, and that’s what Revolution is all about (CHANGE). Uf people are not financially able to get medical attention,should they be allowed to suffer? In a capiral- istic system the answer is yes. So, this is what we must change, from an exploitative system to a more humanistic one, where people because they are sick, will be treated, Whether they have money or not, will not be the basis of them receiving medical attention, It should be clear to a blind man that the hospitals and the clinics should belong to the people. The services rendered should be free. So, later for the system here, set up by fools to think they can put profits and property over tie lives of the people.

WASHINGTON, D.C. CONCERNING THE JULY 4 ATTACK BY THE PIGS OM OUR OFFICE July 5, 1970 Yesterday, while Bob Hope, Billy Graham and other super racists sat eulogizing about racist Amer- ica, with loud bands, fire crackers and patriotic songs, Black people were singing and speaking about the freedom we long to have, All of a sudden, two police in a white unmarked car came and decided the people were making too much noise on the "‘4th of July’’. So they called for reinforcements, which came and lined up and down the streets. All of the people went into the office after seeing this but were immediately followed by the poe lice. With the community locked in our office the police began kick- ing and knocking in the door with axes and hammers to show their patriotism. Seeing this, Someone in the com- munity threw 4 brick at the door where the pigs were chopping the door down, At this, one pig said: “Someone threw a brick; we've got an alibi; we can really get‘em now. Finally, the show really began. These fascist fools with wrecking hammers and axes in their hands started chasing children, women and men all over the house like mad slave catchers. They ran upstairs with thelr hands on their guns and nightsticks in position for action, It took Ss or 6 pigs for every 1 brother, They handcuffed the brothers, threw them on the floor and began their mad terrorist act of beating, stomping and kicking. After about 20 minutes of cor- ruption, they dragged everyoneout and put them In the pig wagons. Most Grastic of all, these low- lifed punk dogs brutalized and ha- rassed the children and babies a- round, whose ages range from about 16 months to § years. Immediately afterwards, the pigs ran through the office stealing and destroying tape recorders, ra- dios and record players, cab- inets, mattresses, chairs, rugs, clothes and food, Also, those ma- fioso criminals stole $900.00from the Free Greakfast, and Free Health Clinic funds and fled. Down at the pig Station, Bro- ther Paul went to get the bables out of jall and 12 cunning, sneaky pigs snuck up on the brother and knocked him unconscious and dragged him off to a dingy cell. People here inD,C, must realize thar this Incident Is mot one of isolation, So as Fanon once said: “Henceforth, theinterests of one will be the interests of all, that in effect everyone will be mas- sacred or everyone will be saved," Houses being broken in, bro- thers being murdered, Welfare Mothers being maced all breakthe tradition of the colony which the outcome will be the deaths of the murderers or the endof ourselves.

First of all, some of our peo- ple that weren't on the scene are wondering if we violated our prin- ciples by not wiping out the first of those gang ters that crashed through our door. Then some of our cone sdes who weren't at the Scene are questioning the order that was given to “‘hold our fire until we're fired upon."’ Both of these poims could be cleared up by reminding all con- cerned about one of our main prin- ciples. ‘If anyone attacks us and if the conditions are favour able for battle, we will certainly act in self-defense to wipe him out reso- lutely, thoroughly, wholly andcom- pletely (we do not strike rashly, bout when we do strike, we must win)’ We must never be cowed by the bluster of reactionaries. In other words, no matter how much confusion these cowardly dogs cre- ate, they will never stop the Black Panther Party from serving our people. We're more concerned 4- bout the welfare of our people than about anything else. And because we were unable to get all of the community people through the back door, we decided not to fire until we were fired upoa, These are the people we are here to serve, s0 how could we justify initiating a ‘shoot-out’ (and getting them all killed) just to prove that we're Panthers. We realize that the only way we'll stop these pigs from coming into our community, brutalizing and murdering our peo- ple, is to kill them, We don’t bite any bones about that. ‘We'll kill anybody that stands in the way of our freedom,"’ because we don’t have any other choice but to do thar. And pigs are making that quite clear to our people every day. And because they were able to take four of our weapons and beat us after we didn't shoot, they still can't stop us. How can they? Pan- thers don’t drop out of the sky, and they don’t grow out of the ground. No, Parahers come out of the conditions our people are sub- jected to. And the conditions that caused some of our community people to get crapped In our center wondering whether they'll live or dle are the same conditions that caused our courageous leader and Minister of Defense, Huey P. New- ton, and our beloved Chairmang Bobby Seale, to organize our Pagty.

VASTIE JONES, MOTHER OF 10, BRUTALIZED BY CHICAGO'S PIGS A mother, Mrs, Vastie Jones who had hurried home to take milk to her baby , was beaten in the face by pigs maravding as po- lice officers. Nauseous and bemorraging af- ter Ciows inflicted, Mrs . Jones was arrested for various traffic violations. On Tuesday morning Mrs. Jones of 425 W. S7th Place had driven to the store on S&th and Prai- ries to buy some milk for Tony the youngest of her ten children. She double parked the car for a- bout two minutes, ran in the store and got some milk. When she returned and was about to drive away, she was confronted with a racist pig, Larry Race, tadge No 14260, 2nd District, who said, ‘what the hell are you doing double parked /Give me your license; you're going to get a ticket". Mrs. Jones tried to ox- plain to this dog that she had to get some milk for her baby, and that she knew it was wrong But it was an emergency, because there was no milk In the house, The pig didn’t want to hear that and told her to shut up because she had too much mouth. Once again she tried to explain that it was an emergency and he sald: “I'm taking you to jail smart aleck,"’ Wel) Mrs. Jones panicked she knew she had to get the milk home before she went anywhere. So she proceeded to do just that. When she arrived in front of her house, she hollered for her soo Larry, to come outside and get the milk and her purse, which contained her hushasds’ check, Before he came out the pigs had come, snatched her out of the car and had begun to beat her in the face with their fists. She made it to the horn and began to low itand yell, This brought about 100 people from the community cut to see what was happening and to demand that the pigs stop brutali- zing the sister. One of the officers became fear- ful and called a 10:01 ( officer in distress call), Immediately four paddy wagons came, four squad cars and 4 detectives came, blocked off the area and tried to force the people in their homes sO they wouldn’t witness the bru- tality against Mrs. Jones. The pigs pot Mrs, Jones in a car and took her to the Racine pig pen. Mrs. Jones had not long had a baby and during the ride she began to bem- orrage, ..esponsible for this hem- orraging, the pigs laughed at ber, telling her that she was a trouble maker who had tried to start a riot. After getting her to the station, they chained her to a wall, while a pig proceeded to write her 12 tickets and fill out various papers. This took three hours All this time Mrs, Jones complained of dizziness, nausea, hemorraging, and asked to be taken to the hos- pital. Finally they took her to Mi- chael Reese Hospital, where she was hal{- examined, given some pills and released. Her husband came and balled her out from the Ih street station at 5.00 p.m. She passed out so she dosen't know how she got there. Mrs. Jones is the latest victim of police brutality inthis com- munity. Probably if the people had not come out to see about Mrs. Jones, she would have been beaten more severly or even murdered We must organize self-defense groups to protect and prevent such wholesale onslaughts on the Black community.

The in- dictments charged that violations hac occurred at the time of the 1968 Democratic National Conven- tion in Chicago. (Record on Ap- peal, Item No. 2) United States v. Dellinger, 69 CR 180. April 9, 1%9, defendants were arraigned before the United States District Court for the northern District of Ulinols. Trial was set for Sep- tember 24, 1959 (Record on Ap- peal, Item No. 7), and was never thereafter continued. Appellant moved prior co trial for a continuance on the ground that his chosen attorney, Charles R. Garry, could not attend a Sep- tember 24 trial but these motions were denied and tria] began or the date scheduled, Appellant again moved at the beginning of trial for & continuance so that he could be represented by Garry, and re- quested alternatively that he be al- lowed to represent himself, spe- cifically firing his attorneys of record other than Garry. The court denied appellant a continuance, and the right to represent himself. Trial proceeded without any de- fense being presented on appel- lant’s behalf. November 5, 1969, acting under Rule 42 (a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, che trial court summarily adjudged appel- Jant guilty of 16 acts of conremp, all arising out of his objections to Garry's absence and his at- tempts to represent himself during trial. The court then imposed 16 consecutive three-month terms, a total] of four years, Simultaneously the court on its own motion de- clared a mistrial as to appellant and severed his wial from that of his co-defendants (1) (TR 5409- 5454).

Summary of Argument Argument I, infra pp, 17-53, ar- gues thar the court wrongfully de- nied appellant the right to counsel) of his choice and, alternatively, the right to represent himself. Appellant contends that contempt convictions resulting from a wial at which he was Genied the funda- mental right to present 4 defense and denied the advice ofcounsel regarding the propriety of his con- duct during trial, must be re- versed, Arguments I[-VIII require reversal of the comtempt convic- tions regardicss of whether appel- lant was wrongfully denied his right to counsel of his choice or toself- representation, Bet since appel- lant’s Sixth Amendment claims were central to the entire contro- versy between him and the court, and the resulting contempt cone vietions, the court's error in this respect gives added force to all of appellant’s arguments. Argument Il, infra pp, 54-76, contends that reversa! is required on the ground that appellant was wrongfully denied his right to a jury trial because: (A) the court imposed an aggregate term in ex- cess of six montis; (0 wholly apirt from the aggregate term im- posed, the case involved a serious crime, in which a jury trial Is a matter of right; (C) appellant's conduct constituted ag most a single contempt, for which a term in ex- cess of six months cannot be im- posed without 4 jury trial. Arguments Lil, [V and V con- ter thar appellant’s convictions must be reversed because the court below wrongfully denied him ¢5- sential procedural safeguards. In Argument IIL, infra pp. 77-%, ap- pellant urges that he was entitled to 4 hearing before another judge necause: (A) the contempt charges arose out of a personal confron- tation with the trial court under circumstances with an enormous potential for bias; and (3) chetrial judge was actively embroiled ins bitter clash with appellant through< co the erial, Argument IV, infra pp. 97-111, contends that the court erred in proceeding under’ Rule 42 (a) of the Federal Rules of Crim- inal Procedure rather than Rule 42 (&) because: (A) there was o necessiry for instant adjudication; and (B) summary imposition of punishment for prior acts of mis- conduct was prejudicial, Argument V, infra pp. 112-18, contends thar even 4smuming it was proper ¢ proceed under Rule 42 (a), appel- jant was at least entitled to some earing and h was error to deny ir ary Pportunity to present evidence r rgument going t rullt, and adequate semencing earing, including the assistance “retained counsel, Arguments V1, Vil, and VIII con- tend that pellant is entitled t reversal a4 a dismissal of the charges, le argur t Vi, infra Pp. 119-36, appellant urges that his conduct did not constitute the crime of contempt as defined by 18 U.S.C, Sec, 401 (1), Argument VIL, infra pp. 137-51, urges that the court’s failure adequately to warn appellant that his conduct Subjected him to criminal con- tempt penalties requires rever- sal, And in Argument VIII, infra pp. 152-75, appellant argues that misconduct on the part of the trial court and prosecuting attorneys requires reversal in the interest of justice. Finally, appellant directs the court’s attention to those facts that are within his knowledge concern- ing electronic surveillance rele- vant to the contempe conviction, (IX, infra pp, 176-77) ARGUMENT introduction One initial poimt is basic to an understanding of the issues raised by this appeal, The occurrences in the district court during the trial of United States v. Dellinger, for which appellant was convicted on 16 specifications of conternpe and Sentenced to an astounding four years in prison, are the subject of a serious factual dispute. That dispute relates, not to the steno- graphically reported verbal ex- changes which comprise the record, but to their basic inter- pretation. Pur simply, the district court took the view, and made the formal finding, that appellant Bobby Seale engaged in a course of conduct deliberately designed to obstruct and defeat the administration of justice and to ‘‘sabotage the func- tioning of the Federal Judicial Sys- tem.”’ (TR S411, 5413) In the rrial court’s opinion, appellant was guilty not simply of the 16 spe- cified incidents that disturbed his trial. He was guilty of something fax more sinister and serlous-~- an unspecified general specifica- tion of contempt of the sort re- versed by the court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in United States v. Sacher, @) The Second Circult reversed Specification I which charged ‘‘a willful .deliber ate and concerted ef- fort to delay and obstruct the tria]."" Judge Frank noted thar since this charged a conspiracy essentially, out-of-—<court evidence wus relevant and procedural re- gularity essential. (182 F.2d at 455, Frank, J. concurring; see also 182 F.24 at 423, 450), 182 F.2d 416 Q@nd Cir. 1950), aff'd, 343 US. { (192), involving a purposeful and calculated attack on the court and the entire judicial system. In diametric opposition to this view is appellant’s own under- standing of what happened ar his tria], Again put simply, Bobby Seale, a Black man facing 4 serious criminal charge, was inexplicably denied the one attorney whom he trusted, wanted and bad chosen to represent him: Charles Garry, Instead he was told by the court that another attorney, William Kunstler, whom he had not chosen and did not want, represeatedhim. hear, each constitute a separate He objected vigorously, first ask- ing for Garry and then asking, in Garry's absence, to represnt himself. These requests were re- fused and, again the same scene was repeated: Scale objecting to Kunstier’s repre- . Gemanding his right to Garry or to represent himself: the court insisting that Kunstier was his lawyer; Seale protesting that Kunstler was oot his lawyer; the court stifling him without ex- ‘and again, sentat! plaining that his record was made; Seale therefore protesting once more at the next point where, in his layman's judgment, he had to do so in order to protect his rignts. These two opposing points of view are dramatically illustrated the following exchanges; THE COURT: As I think everyone who has attended the various ses- sions of this trial must if he is fair understand, the Court has done its best to prevent or (mot) to have repeated efforts to delay and obstruct dis crial whict I ciink have been made for the purpose of causing such disorder and con- fusion as would prevent a verdict... ..! find...chat the acts, state- ments and tonduct of the defend- ant Seale which I shall specify contempt of this Court; that cach constituted a deliberate and willful attack upon the administration of justice in 4n attempt to sabotage the functioning of the federal ju- dicial system, MR, SEALE: That fs a lic, I stood up and spoke in behalf of myself... and made motions and requests... Ihave a right to speak andmake requests and make arguments to demonstrate the fact I want to cross examine. When you say I disrupt, | have never cried to strike anybody. I have never. You know that, (TR $409, S411, 5412-13) THE COURT: You may speak to the matters I have discussed here to- day, matters dealing with your con- tempruous conduct. The law obli- gates me to call on you to speak at this time. MR, BESS: About what’? About the fact that 1 want a right to defend myseM? That’s all | am speaking about. THE COURT: No, about possible punishment for contempe of this court. MR, SEALE: Punishmert..,1 have nothing to say about chat. I have something to say about the fact that | want to defend myself still. I wart my rights, to be able to stand up and cross-examine the witnesses, I want that, so I don’t know what you're talking about. THE COURT: L have tried to make it clear. MR, SEALE: All you make clear is that you don’t want me, you re- fuse to let me, you will not go by my persuasion, or my argu- ments, my motions, my requests to be, to the extent of even having to shout loud enough to get on thas record for that record so that they can hear me half the time, You don’t want to listen to me. You don’t want to let a man stand up, contend to you that tat man is not my lawyer, show you and point out to you thar fact, in fact, made motions and told you chat I fired the man, And to stand up here and say, "*Look, I have the right to de- fend myself," continuously over and over, ¢ven to the point just recently on Friday you recognized thas I did have only one lawyer by letting this man and Thomas Hayden to go and to talk to Charles R.

Be- ing the right to eat in the dining hall and being forced to cat in crowded dirty cells, subjected to having to eat food which Is al- ways 1) dirty, 2) brought in with the back of plates on top of the plates, 3) cold, insufficient and hard to digest. As you know this serving of food in our cell's block for a year has caused the presence and breeding of large numbers of rats, mice, flies, and gnats, large water bugs and other unidentified vermin that we know that have not and could not be exterminated. Whether it is evident, your callous disregard of our grievances and our in- mate complaints. You consider us a8 something less than human beings and therefore unworthy of your concern. But we are nel- ther animals or criminals. We are flesh and blood human be- ings, who deserve the right to be treated as such. We find your past behavior towards us total- ly unjustifiable and your contin- UOUS attitude as highly irrespon- sible, We are sick and tired of being forced to Uve under such unsatisfactory and undhealtt conditions, To the above stated reasons, we are requesting thar you remedy this situation which is rapidly deteriorating and tense by permitting all unsentenced in- mates to go back to cating in the dining hall and to have out- door recreation, FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISON- ERS! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE The Unsentenced Inmates PRISON REHABILITATION NOTHING BUT A MYTH History shows that the destiny of a people or @ nation can be found in its prisons. Prisons serve no practical purpose other than to Punish people. Unlike those who would mislead us in believing that prisons serve the purpose of reha- habilitation, any person who has been in jail knows char rehabili- tation is nothing but a myth which is woven by the establishment in order to prevent people from rec- ognizing the fact that prisons are cruel and savage institutions. Whe- ther your punishment comes in the form of the cotton-field prison- type punishment or whether ft comes in the type of punishment similar ro the California Penal, Institutions where you are con-. stamly harassed by petty insults, petty rules and petty officers. In the final analysis the customs will be the same: punishmers. The establishment's reply to this is that inmates are given trades and skills in order to make them operable in the American system. But this is not true. The only skills acquired by an inmate in any insti- tution are the skills of making street signs, the skills of making jail bunks, the skills of making jail jeans or jail shirts. k is obvious to each and every inmate who wins that he loses in the deal; ‘The facts of the situation are iron- feally clear. In order for an in- mate to become good In, shall we Say carpemry, he would have to build a house, The unions won't allow it. For an inmate to be- come good in electronics,he wouk! have to wire, which the unions won't allow, So we come back to the same thing. Inmates are trapped by thes system, They cannot learn valid skills. They cannot produce in or- der to benefit society and humanity. They can only accept punishment. When confronted with the facts of the system the inmate can do one of two things. He can either accept is and become 4 shoe-shine boy CK PEOPLE HAVE NO FUTURE ame TURE OF POWER, AND THE PRESENT STRUC for the guards or he can reject ft, It can be rejected in many different ways. Some reject it in trying to find new skills--cheating amd stealing. Some reject it in becoming religious, Some reject ft in becoming revolutionaries. But all in all, rejection is still there and ft is stil) rebellion against a system which has re- duced them to a level lower than any other buman being in the so- clety. Whether you accepe it or reject it, one thing is clear to both sides, You're bot: being pushed. Pushed more and more toward the gun towers and the fence, Under these conditions the Black man’s cyes come open to what roaches and rats are all about in his community. Whar gen- ocide is all about in his com- munity. And he also understands * that the destiny of his people hangs in the balance of their willing- ness to struggle. Prisons and in- stirutions with no purpose than fo break the will of good strong hu- man beings. There is one good purpose that the prisons serve.* And that is, that it opens one’s eyes to what freedom really is, kk opens one’s ears to what jus- tice really is. it opens one’s feel- ings to what equality really is, And that none of these exist. The Soledad Brothers are living examples of the destiny that the penal Institution has in store for anyone who dares stand up and fight for these basic human rights, k is a vicious circle, The more will and strength shown by them, the more the institution becomes no more than a weapon to wipe out thar will and strength. More and more, the prisons are becoming concentration camps for political ease because the people-- Bluck people, Brown people, White people--are headed down arevolu- tionary course.

In New York, when you are arrested, you are suppos- edly entitled to an attorney from the Legal Aid Society. These law- yers, for various reasons, most of them selfish, never live up to thelr responsibilities as servants of the peoplel They take no in- terest in your guilt or innocence, they care Little about redious re- search, they are imerested In do- ing as little as possible for their paychecks. Most have political ambitions, almost all are pigs. Because of this, over eighty percent of the prison population, are people who have been duped into taking pleas which give them seven years instead of fifteen. host prisoners have not even had a trial. They are afraid to go be- fore a judge or jury because they know the lawyer will not defend them or challenge the lies of the pigs, or the illegal jury. They know they cannot rely on the biind lady of ‘‘justice’’ to see the flim flam. Here is an example. This sis- ter who was jailing with me, was accused of armed robbery and semtence for conviction is 7 to IS years, The sister had no mon- ey to hire a good lawyer (that is the criteria for justice in America) so she got a legal aid, He told her to lay in jail for a few months and he would get her out. She saw the dude three times in six months. Her bail was $7,500, which she, of course, couldn’t afford, So she layed Inthe pigpen for six months, She wentto court and the judge told ber it was 4 serious offense and if she was found guil- ty, he would give her the maximum of IS years. The sister koew she couldn't place her life on the thin thread of hope in an all white Jury finding her innocent! Her ‘low ver”’ gold her in the Kindest voice that he would speak to the judge and DA, Three weeks larerhe told her, the two part- ners had been very “‘understand- ing’and would giveber a year if she pleaded guilty to grand lar- Now the sister had been In the jive jail about 7 1/2 months and they tell her she can get out in another uuree (you get 2 months off for “‘good behaviour “’ She pleaded guilty to grand larceny, was given one year and a lecture on why she was such a dangerous person and sent back to the Wo- men’s House. She has no choice but to either become an illegizi- mate capitalist or arevolutionary. They will no longer give her any job because she has a felony re- cord! So thar her right to employ- ment is not only violated, but it has been taken away from her. She cannot sit om any jury, she cannot vote, she cannot have a driver's license, she has become an outlaw. When we say we want the gates of all pig pens opened, we are talking about releasing our peo- ple from this perpetual bondage. We recognize it as a vicious cir- cle designed to frustrare, harass and confuse the minds of the people. We believe in a system thar is responsible to the needs of the people rather than the whims of a racist chump. We believe thar it is the duty of lawyers to go Into the jails, to demand entry into the jails, and preserve the so-called con- stingional rights of the people. We know that the thieves sit in judges seats as John Murtagh does. We know that the murderers sk in the politicians seats, as Rock- efeller, Nixon, Agnew, Mitchell and Hoover do. We know that our people are not criminals and we will fight until the real our- laws are brought to justice. On September 7, 1970, the peo- ple will meet in Philadelphia to have a Plenary Session for the planning of the Revolutionary Peo- ple’s Consitutional Convention, Ar which time, we will write a Cof= stitution thar takes the power from the hands of the oppressors aad puts it into the hands of the pede ple. We will defend our right to 4 relevant constitution with our lives, Either justice will prevail for all, or Babylon will burn like toilet paper.

These are the same type of tactics that were used In Hitler’s Germany, The youth are the fu- ture warriors of Black people. And this Isa clear attempt to destroy and pervert the minds of our young Black warriors. This plan was gladly received by mealy mouth Nixon and his Machi- aveliian madman, Spirow Agnew, who made it very clear that Black people have no rights that a racist power structure is boundto re- spect The plan further states that ; The role of the government would be to conduct mass testing on all 6 to & year old children and cor- rective treatment should begin at that time to make them they learn the meaning of responsibility.** This means that any objective or revolutionary ideas that our Black youth migt have would be stiffied and they would be taught to be responsible to the pigs of this oppressive power structure.

SCHONFIELD/BALTIMORE CITY JAIL TO: Chief Judge for the city of Baltimore's Supreme Bench Baltimore, Maryland 21201 July 2, 1970 Now comes this petition from the people of Baltimore, exercis- ing the rights of the people as guaranteed by the Constitution of th United States, to question the illegal imprisonment of inmates now being held without benefit of constitutional rights or human rights in the Baltimore City Jail. We present this petition as a body from which the strength of this government is derived. Being lay- men, we ask conference to discuss and remedy the neglect of human rights, and council to argue and remedy the neglect of consti- tutional rights, before further i]- legal trials be resumed, Now comes the list of motions: ql) That each and every inmate be immedistely given reasonable bail, according to his station. Such erroneous judgment in the giving of exceedingly high bails or no ball, forced on welfare because of State errors of imposing high bail on the fathers of chiktren andhus- bands, State errors constitute more crime because of exceeding - ly high bail by forcing hungry chil- dren to steal, making prostitutes of mothers in their effort to pro- vide. This is a direct breach of the constitutional amendnent that States: ‘‘All men are innocent, until proven guilty.” @) We contend thar the right to be represented by counsel! at pre- liminary hearings has been denied all, or, the majority of men now incarcerated in pena) institutions throughout the state. By not being represemed, the accused is left at the mercy of erroneous and improper judgment by lower court judges who Usten to one sided arguments, setting exremely high bails and binding the accused over to face higher courts because of him being a pauper. As in the case of Henry Coleman and Otis Ste- phens vs Supreme Court of Ala- bama, in which the ruling was handed down by the Honorable Jus- THE OPPRESSOR’S BUREAUCRACY The acts that prove discrimina- tion, since the trial was to com- mence March 23, 1970, are as follows: (First article printed on May 25, 199) March 6, 1970: I received a Jetter from Ledr. Marian threar- ening me with a disciplinary ac- tion if I refused to submit to a psychiatric examination. The examination was set for March 23, 1970, the same day thar the tria] was due to commence. March 23, 1970; Trial began. Judge Oliver Carter made the decision to consider only the ques - tion of whether | was unlawfully demoted in the late fall of 1953, from a trainee position, to which l was assigned, which led directly to a GS-4 position, Without being given notice of said proposed de~ motion, either at the time or until said demotion had been se- cretly accomplished in the files of said government agency, (NAS, ALAMEDA, CA,) or until a for- mal complaint of racial discrim- ination was filed and proceeded to administrative hearing. The trial was In violation of my con- stitutional right, to limit access to the courts, for redress of ra- cial discrimination in federalem- Playment, to review the admini- strative record; especially when claim is made that 4 continuous course of aracially discriminative combuct has taken place over 4 period of six years, and where voluminous hearings were held, at the angency level. No relief bas been granted, and portions .‘ the INMATE POPULATION VS tice William J, Brennan Jr. with the support of five 6) other jus- tlees that: ‘The guiding hand of councel at the preliminary hear- ing is essential to protect the in- digemt accused against an erro- neous or improper prosecution.” This alone is a mockery of the glorified assumption that every man is innocent until proven guilty. @) We contend that the proper way to make up to society by those accused is to work for so- celery. Each man who has sever been given an opportunky, cue to his record, to become an asset to the community, has been dealt with inhurnanity by the community. Who knows crime better than the ex-criminal? The answer to crime may be in the perpetrators. Some of our best policemen may be those who are accused. The people feel that this should be acted upon im- mediately. (4) We contend that the warden of Bakimore City Jail to be removed or reeducated to coincide with hu- man rights that are grossly ne- glected to men now incarcerated in the Baltimore City Jail. Why should the double jeopardy of pun- ishment be imposed on men who are brought directly off the street only to be placed on “‘lockup"’ telrs, and denied the right of ex- ercise which is vital, when they have not broken any instituttonal rules? Visits are Limited to one day during the working week ac- cording to sections, thus hamper- ing the concerned relatives or friends from making visits because of the must of having to appear on prospective jobs. Keeping in mind those who are illiterate, that can only communicate through speak- ing to those who are trying to help them prepare proper court defense, Regardless to contraband precaution, why are visits held in hot tle rooms, through thick glass, speaking through inadequate phones? We the tax payers, de- mand that the warden and officers of the city jail earn thelr money by producing lounges for visits, and the frisking of each inmate after the visiting hour. ©) We contend thar mail should administrative records were physically deleted by order of defendants hearing officer. I was seeking review of the con- tinual course of racially discrim- inatory conduct, which was the subject of complaints and admin- istrative proceedings within the agency and the CivilService Com- mission, and to have these acts of reprisals set aside andredres- sed.

It is the fear that news of mistreatment may be brought to the public that this by-law is enforced. This act protiubits in- mates from discussing intimate details of his case with attorneys and family, which may result in improper defense to prove his in- mocence, If letters can be sealed to state attorneys, why can’t let- ters be sealed to defense attorneys? = * (©) We contend that the accused suffer from insufficient dicts, and deplorable health conditions. Men are forced to eat In an area that the warden finds feasible to walk his dogs. They are forced to wade water before having to dine of stale foods infested with insects, roaches and staleness, Why are those accused forced to eat in areas where they sleep and deficate? (7) We contend wat improper medical care exists in the Bal- timore City Jail, thet family phy- sicians should be allowed within court order to examine the inmate who can afford it, he is still in- nocent until proven guilty, but Ge- nied the right to good health. We comtend that proof exists that ‘'ex- cruciating pain'’ does not consti- tute anemergency, but rather when the victim has been rendered com- pletely helpless, will medical aid be given. We pray that these contentions will be remedied, as we the people and taxpayers of the community ask and taxpayers of the community out for constitutional and human rights to be extended, For the districts of the community arere- presented by the people’s choice, and buman rights can no longer go unnoticed or remedied, We commit this in form of the people's pro- tection and demand immediate ac- tion. district Leaders for the Voice of the People AUTHORIZED BY: BLACK PANTHER PARTY Baltimore, Chapter ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE cas, etc., met with Mr. John Col- lins of the Industrial Relations Department, to get necessary in- formation to meet with the Com- manding Officer of Nas, Alameda, Ca.

It happened in West Point, where right now ‘‘development’’ 1s tak- ing place. I walked up to the hill where the brother was shot in the hip and the construction trac- tors were covering up the area in which he was shot, It is said that the brother was shot for stealing a car. The same reason that Alvert Joe Linthcome was shot a year ago. A life for a car only shows that the pigs are out to protect property, not lives. The chase took place from Third Street up to the hilltop on Kiska and back down to West- Point Rd He was shot at the ending of Harbor Road.

The Chase started off with only two cars, bat by the time the in- cident was over, there were seven cars and one station wagon, all carrying Tac Squad Pigs. When asked, ‘‘Who shot Little Ronny,’’ the Pig said, ‘We are working on it right now, we are trying find out who did it.’ But the people are not dumb. Mrs. Moore who also lives in Westpolnt saw the incident: ‘‘ The boy jumped out of the car and started running, the police shot three times, first hitting him im the leg,"’ she said. “He grabbed his leg and kept trying to get away, and they shot him again,’ There was only one person who got close to see, because the pigs ran everyone else away, pushing them back.

F as ——_—) <= aT te GINO MOYLER On Thursday night, June 18th, Franklin ‘’Gino'’ Moyler of tbe Black colony was gunned down by a white pig who goes by the name of Ronald Watson. Gino was on Massachusetts Avenue where what rightly belonged to the peo- ple was being returned. Gino got in 4 Volkswagon and went to 4tl Street, where he was chased to New Jersey Avemuc, A tripk- chinned pig came rushing at Gino with his gun out and tried to grab the car keys. Before you knew it, Gino was Shot twice. He shot back ar this wil@nan in a blue uniform and they both fell. When the ambu- lance came, Gino was leit dying on the sidewalk, while the pigs rushed their accomplice to the hospital. As pig Ronald Watson lay in the hospital, we say may the pain of 1000 deaths greet you when you sooner or later dic. Having profound concern for the brother's death and suspect- ing discrepancies in the pig news media, the Washington Chapter of the Black Panther Party found it necessary to investigate. The Par- ty contacted Mrs, Evelyn Moyler, the widow of our beloved and slain brother. From speaking with her, we discovered that Gino believed in the total liberation of his poor and oppressed people and understood clearly the workings of fascist, racist American p= pression.

On July 3, 1970, the slumlord of % Summit Avenue (Ira Sonn) tried to enforce what is common practice in the Black colony, by trying to act as judge, jury and the executioner. This pig, how- ever, failed to realize that the people are educared enough to re- alize his actions, and to see him as he really is, 4 racist, fascist pig. This pig noticed thar Margaret Goldsberg (a tenant), bad placed ‘two posters (one of Hucy anc one of the N.Y. 21 in her window’, being as racist as he is, he wied to force his way into the sister's apartment and remove the posters from her window, Upon reaching the door of the sister’s apartment he was shocked to find out that this sister was educated cnough not to allow him to enter her apartment, This slumlord told Margaret that the posters made the building look Ugly and defaced the entire neigh borhood. The lying racist pig also said he was trying to keep the Black colony clean, This pig makes Ro attempt at cleaning the f lack community, because if he was really interested he would first Start by removing himself from the Black colony After seeing that the sister was not going to be intimidated by any racist slumlord, he then called in the local pigs. We happen to know that anytime 4 person makes & complaint concerning defacement of property, usually the nearest pigs in the area are sent. Knowing this complaint was called in from Summit Ave., and realizing that the N.C.C.F. is located on Summit Avenue, the pigs sent their finest over to harass the people. The pigs who showed up were plainclothes- men, F.B.L agents, a local ser- geant and 4 captain from the se- veoth precinct, The people from the community, upon seeing all these pigs, knew at once that they were not from the fourth pre- cinct, (which is right arouml the corner) and they realized that the pigs were up to Some grave in- justice so they reacted by crowd~ ing around the house, After all these so-called super pigs arrived on the scene, slumlord Crying to act in the form of 4 tough proceeded to oink about ro evict Ue sister. of the people of de community, the how he was going In plain view sister Margaret offered this mooth’s reat to the slumlocd and he rejected it. We know Wat this punk is gol to ry { use this as a rans of evict the sister, NDOW So we Say Co these pigs in par- ticular, they had beer forget about moving this sister out of the community because the people will not let thern do this. While the racist slumlord and the fascist pig cops went into hiding to figure out their next move, the pig sergeam started taking pic- tures of the people in the com- munity, The community people said later for the flicks and moved to get the pigs’ badge numbers. The pigs told the people and myself to get our of their faces and to mind our own business. We toki the pigs that it was within our rights for us to observe, After they had their conference, the fascist pigs, went back rotheir pig-sty. The slumlord told the sis- ter, chat he was going to start legal proceedings on Monday to evict her. The sister told him thar he could take ir to court, but she still was not going to move. (To which we said, Aight Onl) All dils goes to show the people that rack pigs don't respect Black people or for thar fact, any people of color, This cannot and will not be tolerated by the masses be- cause we relate to self <tetermina- tion of our own people, and we don’t need a White racist slum- lord to tell us how to think or how to live. So if this punk things that he can evict anyone for putting up rev- olutionary posters in thelr win- dows, then the people of the com- munity and the N,C.C.F, will join this sister and chase the pigs away from % Sumrnit Ave., and out of the people’s community, by amy means necessary, We'llhold back the rent, liberate the terri- with tory and deal death blows to the pigs to free ourselves from the fascist oppressors DEATH TO THE FASCIST Pics!

During the preliminary hearings in Janwary and the ‘‘DeNova'’ (hearing to suppress evidence) in 6April, pigs after oinking paraded arrogantly to the witness stand, attempting to concoct a “‘grand conspiracy’’ on the part of the L.A Panthers against the fascist pig forces here, The ob- vious contradictions and blatant lying om their part was clear to the people present in support of the brothers and sisters, Towards the end of the last hearing, their carefully fabricated stories be- gan to sound like the mumbling of a drugged and hypnotized idiot, repeating ‘‘statements of truth’ which you know are the well- thougm out lies ofa monster called ‘‘Criminal Conspiracy sec- tion."’ These hearings were just the beginning of what unfortunately is the real conspriacy...a calcu- lated scheme to attempt to des- troy the Vanguard Party...the Black Panther Party. The move on the part of the LD, the CCS in particular, towlpoout the lead- ership of the Black Panther Party chapter here In Southern Call- fornia has to te viewed as a nation-wide hook-up to the chain of attempts to destroy our Party as a whole. This reality becomes clearer and clearer as each Panther goes into the fascist pig pen called ‘‘court,”” The pattern of genocide becomes visible through each con- viction meted out by the fascist jury and judge. The plan for leg- al genocide are spelled out with each sentence handed down to our political prisoners The latest attempt of Legal gen- ocice is against a brother, affec- tionately called by all.. “Duck ‘ Duck (George Young) is now in trial, charged with an assault on a pig...a charge which could carry | ~ 14 years inprisonment Duck was shot down in the streets om the 6th of December by a de- mented Black pig who goes by the name of ‘‘Tarzan’’ (probably the closest association that could be made to an ape.) This mad, low-lifted pig informer does the Girty work for the LAPD He apparently has a license to kil (as long as his victims are Black and Panthers). He turned Duck into «the Pigs after almost kil- ling him. For his deed, this pig is still allowed towalk the streets, spouting his hatred for black men and Panthers, tn particular. Duck was charged with an al- leged assault on a pig who strol- led in the Central office of the Black Panther Party, seeking ‘‘In- formation’ The pigs claim that Duck pulled a gun on this pig, and ordered him to leave the premises...to the L.A pigs this incident was just one of many, Om the part of Panthers to kill members of the local police for- ces, The warrant for Duck's arrest along with two others (one against our Deputy Minister of Defense, Geronimo) was the pre- tence for the pre-dawn attack on our homes and offices on Dec- emebr 8th, There is no explanation for the actlon of Tarzan (in his blatant attempt to kill Duck om the eve- ning of December 6th) or the pigs ‘whose life was threathened as live and work) with his force of dogs outside. The obvious truth is that it was a set-up on the part of the Criminal Conspiracy Secticn to f bricate an excuse for genocide on the Party Duck’s fate is inevitable in a sense, it is now being decided in LA courts, Months ago, the pigs planned their strategy for the extermination (they hope) of the Party tn Southern Call- fornia. His conviction is just the beginning of the ground work laid out to ensnare the eighteen Pan- thers charged in the December 8th attack, His trial is seen by them as the beginning of the chain to hopefully choke the attempts of Liberation of the poor oppressed Black masses here in BABYLON The people must begin to see the pattern that's unfolding as frightening as it may be-- the reality of itsexistence cannot be escaped. The pigs are working over Ume to attempt to dea] a Ceath-blow to Duck-- the Black Panther Party and to all Black people in general. We cannot sit idly by and allow the treadmill of injustice and genocide to continue. We have to strike our own death blows against thisfascist machine Only by recognition of what it Is, a struggle against fascism and its tools can liberation and free- dorn in the final analysis be ours.

Douglas Fauntleroy, political prisoner and member of the Con- necticut chapter of the Black Pan- ther Party has been added to the list as another victim of the American conspiracy totry anddo away with the Black Panther Par- ty. Brother Fauntleroy was kid- napped at 3:00 a.m. June 27th, by the New Haven Pigs. He was charged with a host of trumped up nonsense, Doug’s ransome was originally set at $15,000 it was later lowered to $10,000 As the people of New Haven related to organizing around £¢t- ting the ransom money, Doug's ransome was again raised to $25,000 This is a clear ex- ample of how the pig force in this city will do all thar they can to try and sabotage the peo- ple's struggle. well see that it is obvious that charges level- ed against the brother are so un- just thar there is definitely a plan by those inhuman New Haven pig sadiststo use any play which en- ters their minds to try and sa- botage a people's just struggle for liberation. Douglas Pauntleroy has com- mitted no crimes. However the fascist government of this coun- try sees him as some great threat because he is 4 member of the Black Panther Party. Doug- las Faunleroy is a revolutionary, his crimes are loving and ser- the people in comtrast to fanatics like Richard ving crazy Nixon and pig chief Ahern who * are the real criminals, along with his blood thirsty , sadistic pig force. Like Douglas Fauntleroy, brother Lonnie McLucas is also guilty of loving and serving the people along with Chairman Bobby Seale. The list grows longer daily for New Haven, Ericka, Rose, Frances, Peggy, Mothers of all children, servants of the people, enemies of the state, enemies ot the state because members of the Black Panther Party represent the kinds of life styles and pro- grams for the people which are a direct contradiction, while liv- ing in this capitalistic society. Ir is to be expected that this sys- tem will vamp on those who love and serve the people. k is to be expected that revolutionaries like Bobby, Douglas, Lonnie are ene- mies of cowards and mad men who advocate ‘‘law and order’’ these degenerate pigs adhere to the Nixon and Agnew doctrines to repress, murder and silence all those who openly oppose plans of genocide and murder against all oppressed people. You can kidnap us off the streets brutalize us and ransome us for thousands of dollars. But you will never be able to stifle the revo- lutionary spirit of the people. Now that the New Haven pigs have placed a ransome upon Doug- Doug Fauntleroy, political prisoner las Fauntleroy of $25,000 it should be clear to the people of New Haven that the pigs will use every weapon they can against poor Black people to keep them enslaved, by placing ransome on us thet they know that we cannot afford to pay.

The bombardments are not of nly ‘te- ted agaiost the liberated saree under the control of the Royal National Union Government of Cambodia but also conducted as air support for the military opera- tions of the Saigon and Phnom Penh Puppet troops. To conduct blatant air attacks against the territory of another coumtry, what is it if nor il- legal aggression? This alone is enough to expose tie deceltful and perfidious nature of Mr. Nixon's argument claiming that the U.S, aggression in Cambodia is ended with the withdrawal of U.S, troops from that cuuntry. Moreover, the Nixon Admin- istration claimed that it has the right to send U.S, troops back to invade CambodJa with an absurd pretext of ‘"protecting the security of U.S, troops in South Viet Nam"’ In order to justify the US, ag- gression in Cambodia and his ex- tension of the war to the whole of Indochina, Mr. Nixon has again resorted to arguments slandering the Democratic Republic of Vict Nam of bringing the war to Cam- bodia, and even of causing the “Gownfall of Prince Sihanouk"’. Nothing could be more brazen] It is the common knowledge that for the past 16 years, the United States has stopped at no wicked and flagrant manoeuvres to sabo- tage the independence and neutra- lity of the Kingdom of Cambodia, aiming at turning that country into a US, new-type colony and mili- tary base. After many failures, the United States helped the Lon Nol-- Strik Matak clique to stage the March 18, 1970 coup d’ Etat against Samdech Norodom Sihanouk, Head of State of Cambodia, And when those American puppets were al- most untenable in the face of the indignation and attacks from all directions of the 7-million Khmer people, the United States unscrup- ulously launched a direct armed aggression to save its puppers and thereby extended its war of ag- gression to the whole of Indochina, In short, the fact is that whe- ther there is the participation of U.S. ground forces or not, the war of aggression against Cambodia launched by the Nixon Administra- tion since April 29, 1970 is still going on and remains an Amer ican war, 2 and the U.S, propaganda machine try to make 2.

IT S OBVIOU HOWEVER THAT THE OUTCOME TURNS OUT TO BE CONTRARY TO HSS OWN CALCULATION, communique issued on June 20, 1970 by the Mialstry of National Defence of the Royal National Union Government of Cambodia, the big- gest and most remarkable defeat of the Ualted States is, that it failed to achieve the objectives of its aggression in Cambodia: The United States wanted to turn Cam- bodia into its new-type colony, conversely Cambodia becomes a- roused with a high tide of sational Uberat! o; the UnitedStates wanted to turn Cambodia into 4 U.S, milli- tary base, a springboard to attack from behind the revolutonary for- ces in South Viet Nam, conversely Cambodia becomes a large base of resistance opposing success- fully the U.S, Aggression: the United States wanted to liquidate the independence and neutrality of Cambodia Set up a puppet regime in Phoom Penh, conversely the entire Cambodian people rise wp in response to the call of their Head of State, Sarndech Norodom and Sthanouk, resolutely fight back the U.S, aggressors and their hench- mon to defend the independence and neutrality of Cambodia, and push back .the control of the Lon Nol--Sirik Matak clique to asmall area around Phoom Penh.

President Nixon claimedthat the purpose of the US, invasion In Cambodia was to reduce Ameri- can casualties; to ensure the with- drawal of U.S, troops from South Viet Nam according .o plan, and to carry out the Vietnamization Program as scheduled, it is ob- vious, however, that the outcome turns out fo be contrary to hisown calculation. U.S. Senator A, M, Ernest Hol- lings said on June 30, 1970 that: nobody mistakes, the war has been expanded, although American ground forces have been with- drawn, the United States is caught in a bigger spider's web than ever before. In short, although President Nixon has resorted to every man oeuvre to distort the truth, to fake imaginary victories and to create an artificial optimism, he cansot coverup the extremely hea- vy defeats sustained by the United offered by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam and of the Provisional revolution- ary Government of the Republic of South Vier Nam, downgrading the importance of, In order to sabotage, the Paris Conference on. Viet Nam, and keeping the con- ference at the impasse. We have many a ume made it clear that the Vietnamese people are deeply attached to peace bet it should be peace in Independence and freedom, Uf the United States really wants to peacefully settle the Viet Nam problem, then there is already a just, equitable and honourable way for all tie parties, set forth in the ten-point overall solution of the Provisional Revolu- tionary Government of the Repub- lc of South Viet Nam. z That means the United States must stop its aggression in South Vier Nam as well as all its en- croschments on the sovereignty and security of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, it must rapidly and completely withdraw from South Viet Nam all US, troops and those of the other for- eign countries in the U.S, camp without posing any conditions; it States during the two months of tS must renounce the dictatorial, war- direct aggression against Cam- bodia, 3. The invasion of Cambodia by US. troops and the contina- thon of that aggression by using Saigon puppet troops and possibly troops of other satellires co fight for the United States and by con- ducting alr bombardments against the territory of Cambodia have proved more clearly thanever that the Nixon Administration is des- perately seeking 4 military vic- tory and 4 position of strength, and thereby exposing its decelt- ful contentions about peace and goodwill which & repeatedly brought up to deceive the Amer- ican people and world public opin- fou. Mr. Nixon claimed that the pur- pose of the US, Invasion in Cam- bodia was to achieve a ‘"just peace’’. But everyone knows that what Mr. Nixon called “‘a just peace" is in reality a “‘pax Amer- icana’’ which he is hopelessly try- ing to impose on the Vietnamese people. Mr. Nixon clamoured about the 17 months of American efforts for peace at the Paris Conference on Viet Nam. However, it Is clear * that Mr. Nixon’s 17 months in of- fice are 17 months of prolongiag the war in South Vie Nam/jog continued encroactinems on Tit sovereignty and security of ie Democratic Republic of Viet Naim of escalating the war in Lage of bringing the war of agerdge Sion into Cambodia, of extendin# the war to the whole of inb- china, and of atempting to gain a military victory and 4 position of strength. Those are 17 his intransigence in, a neo colonialist position, refusing all logical and reasonable proposals months of ike and corrupt Thieu Ky Khiem Administration set up by the Uni- ted States as an instrument for irs neo-colonialism in South Vier Nam, and must really respect the right to self determination of the South Viet Nam people. The polit- ical regime of South Viet Nar will be decided by the South Viet Nam people themselves through free and democratic general clections with- ‘vat foreign interference, To ensure this genuinely democratic andfree character, the general clections will be organized and controlled by a broadly based provisional coalition government set up through the consultations between the forces in South Viet Nam that stand for peace, independence and neutrality. The United States has mo reason for not accepting those things. On the contrary, if the Nixon A@ministration obstinately pro- longs its war of aggression in Viet Nam, persistently sticks to its utterly unreasonable and rigid demands at the conference table in an attempt to implement its neo-coloalalism in South Viet Nam, the catire Vietnamese people will be_ determined to oppose it until thelr Jezitimate goals --gemuine in- Gepencence, freedom and peace-- are achieved, Ih the United States a thd WEP to the whole of Indochina, tbe peoples of Viet Nam, Laos and Carnhodio, closely united, WH be deterwied to smash all US, manoeuyres ax! acts of ag- gression tp ervier to win beck and (Oo Canselidate their fundamental national rights, No. force, no threat, no per~ fidious manoeuvre on the part of the United States oan make the Vietnamese people swerve from their just path »*. _— on THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1970 PAGE 18 those who committed suicide were actually assassinated by their tor- turers, because to go through a couple of sessions anyone would kill himself if they fel it was an escape from the pain they were to receive, Any political prisoner wouldra- ther commit suicide than to be tortured again. Fausto Freire lost his mind as a result of torturing Partially recuperated, he is still inder psychiatric care, PART It BRAZIL TORTURE, REPRESSION AND DEATH DESCRIPTION OF METHODS-- IN DETAIL El "Pau de Arara” is a bar of steel or wood, which varies In Size, The heavier it is the more weight the prisoner must sustain. The wrist and ankles of the vic- tim are tied, The bar is then passed through the knees and arms. Gomething similar to barbecuing a chicken over an open fire), Then the bar is placed between two high chairs or two bales, It takes about a half an hour before one starts feeling the effect of the “‘pau de arara’’, The tightness of the wrist and ankles stops the circulation of the blood. The legs and hands turn black ard blue and swell up pro- gressively. The prisoners begin to think thelr fingers are getting ready to explode and fall off. All of these thoughts are stimulated by insinuations by those torturing the prisoners. This is the psycho- logical effects of the torturing. It forms psychological depression which eventually, morally deterio- rates the mind, This form of torture is the ini- tial one used, it is usually the srart- ing poling because it is 4 good posi- tion for administering the other forms of torture: electric shocks, the palmeta, water through the nose, etc, FASCIST BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT EMILLO GARRASTAZU MEDICI HIDRAULICA The hidraulica is apparently a form of suffocation. A tube is pur in the nose and each time the person takes 4 breath, instead of getting air, he gets water which makes the person think he is drowning. This is one of the worst tortures. The “‘hidraulica’’ and other forms of partial suffocation are performed when the prison- er is on th: “pau de arara”’, The person chinks he is going to die of suffocation and the agony is emanated through the thought of dving. The prisoner's only thought is 4 constant search for air, his only life line, This is Gone 10 to 20 times indefinitely. The recent kidnapping of West German Ambassador to Brazil Ehrenfried von Holle- ben--who was freed June 16 in return for the release of 40 political prisoners, who are now in Algeria--has cast further light on the fas- cist regime of President Emilio Garrastazu Medici, the army general appointed by the military last year to presideover Brazil’s 88 million people. THE TORTURE HOW THEY TORTURE THE METHODS WHY DOES IT EXIST? The torture exists because it is the fastest method, the easi- est work, ir doesn’t take much brains and it is the most effec- tive way to ottain information, It is the fastest method and most of the time speediness is what is needed to repress revolutionary movements. TIME is the element that can- not be wasted, They cannot afford to waste time looking for personal daa on @ person, So many times when a person is imprisoned those interrogating are taking a chance because usually 10 out of 20 might have 4 name, and address or num- ber that could advance the repres- sion 4 litte more. It is an easier process after a certain length of time. It becomes a habit, It takes much more intel- ligence to find a specific method of questioning without really ex- hausting oneself, When a prison- er ts locked in a cubicle and told to talk or else, this could go on for days at a time, but if they are beaten brutally from the very beginning and then given 4 chance to talk, they might be a little bir more responsive, kt is by far the most cruel and brutalmethod, The importance of this is that those questioning get self-satisfaction and gratification from brutalizing those who are in favor of the rev- olution, The majorky of them pre- pare very intensive little gare to use on prisoners. The methods used for torturing are pot very complex, ingenious or even crude. On the comtrary, they don’t have the complexity of me- dieval instruments. On the other hand, they shouldn’r leave bruises because “‘torturing is against the law”. k is all very simple, they figured out a number of devices of natural mutiliations for more than a couple of weeks, One can have an efficient set of torture instruments with the following: 1) ‘“*pau de arara"’ 2) shock treatments 3) Nidranlica: water through nose 4) The palm stick 5) some cans 6) small pieces of stell 20 centi- meters long These instruments used combinely or separately can induce unsup- portable pain and suffering. How is pain measured? By the imensity of the yells? The whines? By the epileptic convulsions? Through facial disformation, when it is inflicted? No, none of these can measure, Only the soul of be who is suffering can give a: accurate indication of the palin, Many of the victims died or lost their minds through the tort- uring in 199, We can name Joa Lucas Alves and Severino Viana Calou, When these people died, the police reports read suickle, these people hang themselves tr tetr cell, Wer tremember that THE ELECTRICAL SHOCK Many of the pigs use portable electrical appararuses. Many of these * electrical apparatuses get 410 volts. kt is up to the imagi- nation of the pig how the machine should be rigged to shock the per- Son being tortured, The amount of electrical cur- rents let into the human body can be controlled by a lever which can increase or decrease the amount. k has two wires (the electrodes) which are fastened to the pri- soner’s body, The simpliest way is to wrap the wires around the fingers or the toes of the prisoners. The electrical shock produces symp- toms very difficult to define, An extremely physical and psy- chological joint of temblor con- vulsionaries and uncontrollable muscular contractions. The shock provokes in the muscle area the identical stimulant, like that of the fiver nerves and the muscle responds with a comtraction, The internal muscles expand and the reflex nerves float, This produces unordinary, uncontrollable epileptic convulsions. The prisoner yells with all the force he has. k is necessary not to think of the pain, At that ox mem of shock the prisoner would prefer any other type of torture than thar of shock. leviated | focussi i rind ere el More int huge (me feels al- ; ahs another answer, the prisoner tries to beat himself by repeatedly knocking his head against a wall or a floor with all his strength In St. Paul at the Army Police (P.E.) the shock is given in the rectum, To the individual, this pro- vokes uncontrolled and frequent urinating. THE PALMETA (palm beater) The palmeta is a beating but not an actual physical bearing. Ir is much easier to just beat on the bottom of the feet or wie flesh on the buttocks. The description of the ‘‘Palmeta’’ varies from place to place. kt can be made ou of differen materia], wood, stecl, plastic with holes or with- out, Beating on the hands, feet, or buttocks, the volume is Increased by four times, leaving pure flesh. The hits eventually form blood blisters thar break open. the skin and blood come off together. The palmeta is used for beating the hands when the person is stand- ing on cans with sharp edges, which after a while start to pain- fully penetrate the individual's feet. At the same time, the pigs are inserting under his fingernails little stee] rods that are squeezed together to make it more painful. These are just a few of the many forms of torture utilized. Na- turally in differen regions various methods are used, Usually accord- ing to bow sadistic the pigs are. In St Paul at the P.E, onthe *‘pau de arara’’ the prisoner is hung by the hand and sticks are stuck in their anus. The woman is usu- ally raped. THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF TORTURE AND WHO DOES IT Torture is utilized at such a high level in Brazi] that i is an institution within a systern of po- tical repression. It has its own culture, values, learnings, and language. The pigs possess their own individual] prideful exploits, reputation and characteristics that distinguishes them and which makes for the respect that they receive from thelr fellow com- races. The methods used today are those taken from the civil police. The proof that torture has been institutionalized is that it’s taught through lectures, and films to the other members in these particular branches of repressionist ser- vices. Not only is it taughe through films, lectures etc. but also live specimens. President Medici said ‘‘there would be no more torture’’; the Ministry of Justice directly inter- venes: punishing those at fault, Mobilization of the Council of De- fense om Human Rights, Yet how does one eliminate torture without eliminating politica) repression? ‘Today the torture is at kts highest peak, it’s a centralized and well working organization. its three major ceners: Guanabars, in all Places throughout the state that conduct interrogations and investi- gations, Torture, itself is webbed in political repression. Ik is one of the systemized institutions with- in the government. The questioning of the revolutionary is the funda- mental step to orlentating allother groups on the steps involved in political processing, Torturing is the manifestation and nourishment of the element: violence.

We want an end (o the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black October 1966 Community ‘ We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are emanding the overdue debt of. forty acres and two mules. Forty acres Black Panther Party and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency Platform and Program which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand that we make at We Want 4. We want decent housing. fit for shelter of human beings. e We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community. then the housing and the land should be made into a e e eve cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people. % a ie : Fa PS 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society. We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl- edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance.to relate to anything else. Z ; 6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. a 7 We believe that Black people. should not be forced to fight in the mifi- x tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We act will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black = people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America.

We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER 4 of black people es We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense oe 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 th>y have not received a fair and impartial trial 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution 30 that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social. religious, geographical, en- vironmental, hiStorical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man" of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When, ip the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them,a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their So ty nT //// SM /) /) oor ee LOLS LEE LS CEE fo LF ES LL Ef tS EL LL EE ff LE LL LL LT (iis ttt 444 O4F K just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of f “nae Sy ee government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people Huey P.
