OLD, MR. McKINNEY, WHO WAS NOW IN TEARS SAID, "I THINK EVERYBODY DESERVES A PLACE TO STAY" On Monday, July 13, Mr. Haskell McKinney came to the N,C.C,F, He is blind and wanted someone to help him go sign the lease to a house that he wanted, Brother Mc- Kinney was told by his caseworker that all he had to do was sign the lease, But when we arrived at Baldwin's Realty Co. we were told that Mr. McKinney couldn't rent a house because he had not established any credit in the city in the last 10 years, Since Mr. McKinney isn’t able to work and draws a disability check to take care of his living expenses, so he shouldn't have needed any credit, I took Mr. McKinney directly to his caseworker, After she called Baldwin he told her to send Mr. McKinney back down to the Realty Office. By the time we gor there Baldwin had run off from the office and a racist dog named Foust put us through the same changes about no ‘established credit’, Mr. McKinney is 57 years old. He has been staying any place he could find because, for about the last two weeks since he left the hospital, his caseworker had been giving him the run around, In the hospital, he had an operation on his eye and the sight hasn't re- turned yet. He has no credit be- cause he has been living with his Son ever since he lost his eye- sight in 1956, therefore he hasn't worked or rented because there was no need to, These racist pigs denied the man 4 place to live although hehadrent money for a month in advance. We went back down to the case- worker, this time she started call- ing Realty Companies until she got a place for him to stay. Mr. Mc- Kinney, who was now Intears said, “I think anybody deserves a place to Stay.” This is what happens in a cap- fralistic system when things that are needed by everyone like food, housing and clothing are controlled by a few low-down lapping hogs like T, W, Baldwin and Son, T, E, Jotnson and the rest of the pigs. It is vitally necessary for the Blacks in Winston-Salem to realize our situation, and organize to do Something about it. There is a housing shortage and that's no ac- cident, There aren't enough houses because Baldwin and other realties do not see fit to construct any more. They can control the people as long as they have less housing rather than more housing. They can charge more money as much as they please; the people will have to pay because every- body needs 4 place to stay, We musSt start to move on these beasts of man, by not paying rent for the things that should be guaranteed to every man from the day he is born, because every man, woman and child should be guaranteed the best that technology ean offer, Technology can offer every man in this country adecent house, fit for the shelter of human beings. N.C.C,F., Winston-Salem, N.C BOSTON MAYOR'S ‘YOUTH COUNCIL'--- AN ATTEMPT TO BRAINWASH YOUTHS Mayor Kevin White, Boston's finest local demagogic politician, held a mecting with students last week, to dismiss “‘police, drugs, and recreation”. This was the first meeting of the néwly formed ''Ma- yor’s Youth Council’, The foul mouthed pig, Mayor White, in ano- ther statement in his all out effort to brainwash the people said, ‘Ir is an advisory board designed to make city departments more re- sponsive to the needs of young people."*"Now we all know that if this buffoon was really concerned about anybody, he'd get up off his butt and start meeting the desires of all the people in the Boston area, But since he's a lying pig we know that the only “people” whose desires he meets, are the local avaricious businessmen, The meeting was open to all teenagers, ages 14 to 20, The Youth Council is a project, or should | use the term ‘‘ex- periment"’, of the city’s Youth Au- thorities Commission, which ‘'de- velops programs designed to ‘involve young people in the life of the community"’, In other words, “these pigs are performing thelr “usual tactics of programming and ' indoctrinating as many young peo- » ple as they can, in order for their "future leaders’ to be as good a fascist as they can be, This is the ' involvement" he is talking about. He means, “homicidal, freaks of tomorrow’’. The Commission has organized suminer camps for the under-privileged; a fashion show with scholarship prizes, a city- wide pocket billiards tournament, and neighborhood hockey and bas~- kerball leagues. So there again we sce the pigs trying to use all tactics necessary to pacify the youth because they know the youth make revolution, and assimilate them Into the capitalist system in their unjust attempts to make s0- called ‘‘good'’ Americans of the potential revolutionaries, by hav- ing them freak-out on basketball courts and pool tables. In announcing the formation of the Youth Council, Mayor White oinked, ‘‘It is easy for those of us in public life to claim that we are interested in the ideas of our young people, It is often not so easy to transform that interest into meaningful programs. The Youth Council will be an effective working body, with the power to communicate its ideas to every department in city government."’ All this fool is doing in this state- ment is using big words, trying to confuse the people. When all he is really saying is oink, be- cause we know good and well that the whole purpose of this program is to confuse the people more and pacify them. Then the mad pig oinked, ‘‘The city administration will cooperate fully with the council mem- bers.” Sure they'll cooperate alright, those buffoon pigs are so deceitful thar they actually have 4 few fools believing them. However, if these young people fall for this, then it is safe to call them buf- foons also and if they can't tell a lying politician by now, when they see one, it is also safe to say that they don’t know their butt from their elbows. As the foul, depraved madman rapped it up, he said, ‘but the primary responsibility will fall on the students themselves, They must Investigate the shortcomings in current procedures, be they in recreational facilities, drug pro- grams, or police practices, and then help to implement the im- provements they seek."’ What he's saying to these youths is that if you're going to be a pig, you bet- ter learn how to be one while you're young. So we see another overt act of pigism, on the part of the power structure, so familiar to Black people, but these tactics won't work, no matter how hard the pigs try, because we will continuously expose them to the people, DEATH TO THE PIGS! BLACK PANTHER PARTY Boston Chapter Gary Bumpers AFTER CHECKING INTO THE SITUATION THEY FOUND THE HOUSE IN HORRIBLE CONDITION--- NOT FIT FOR THE SHELTER OF HUMAN BEINGS We of Front accuse The Valley Liberation ace-pig, maniac Howard Barber of attempted geno- clde, and conspiracy to dehuman- ize, and immoral flight to avoid against Shirley and prosecution Marion Givens along with their eight children, We also accuse the same Howard Barber of the same charges against Sheila Brown and her two children, The Givens and Browns rent a house from Barber in the Walnut Hills area close to Eden Park. They have existed in the house for nine months and were pay- ing a total of one hundred and eighty-five dollars with utilities included in the rent. Mrs. Givens says thar Howard Barber had orders to fix the place Since March by the building in- Spector. The hot water tank Is in such horrible condition that it couldn’: be Ut anymore, The sewer is stopped up and the base- ment was filled with refuse. A sewer maintenance worker could not completely fix the condition, The stove is so bad thar the pilot could not be Ur safely. In March the Board of Health came to Investigate the situation. Pig Belsinger from the Board of Health didn’t go down to the base- ment to see the terrifying con- dition it is in, After a period of time the sewer would come up through the bathtub and sink, at this present time the sewer water is still in the bathtub. The water and gas and elec- tricity have been turned off since May because avaricious pig How- ard Barber did not pay the bill, Mrs. Givens had to get water from a neighbor two blocks away, When Mrs. Givens complained to Bar- ber, he told her to give him some money and he would have the water turned on. Mrs. Givens then went to Metropolitan Housing, Reloca- tions Department, and Victory Neighborhood Services to getsome action, She was given the run a- round at all three places. On July 2ist. Mrs. Givens contacted The Valley Liberation Front to inves- tigate the sickening conditions her family was subjected to liveunder, Our Minister of Defense, Glover Harris, immediately checked into the situation and found the house in such horrible condition that he began taking pictures of the catas- trophe. He fund a basement full ~itt " THE GIVENS AND THE BROWNS of sewer water, along with a dead rat which had been partially eaten by maggots. The basement was also full of mosquitoes and had a smell that is totally indescribabale. The kitchen had similar condi- tions of oppression, The drain pipe from the sink had corroded away and Mrs. Givens had to put a bue- ket under the sink to catch the water, when the water was turned on, There is a4 hole in the kitchen floor that is directly above the basement. The bathroom is no dif- ferent than the basement bacause sewer water has backed up into the bathtub. The living room is full of roaches. Later that game day The Valley Liberation Front declared the building unfit for the shelter of human beings, Since the Board of Health would not declare the house condemned; the property of cap- iralist pig Howard Barber and posted signs on the building no- tifying the community that the house is unfit for shelter of hu- man beings. The morning of July 22nd, How- ard Barber and four White racists maniacs began to tear down the signs and posters. Barber and his stooges then pur a lock on the door leading tothe basement where the dead rat is and then nailed the other basement door closed, so that no one else could see the sary! Valley Liberation Front acted im- mediately by putting 4 twenty. watch on the Givens home, Thu day afternoon members of the Val- ley Liberation front held a ki in the middle of Winsdor S Traffic was blocked up for ao siderable amount of time befoi local mercenary pigs arrived the scene, One pig was ledthrough — the wreckage and was suddenly concerned by the conditions of the — house.

After about — twenty minutes Larry, Culey and Moe from district 7 left the scene, On Friday the Givens and Browns families began packing becatise 5 ‘suddenly’ someone had found a house for the Givens. We salute Mr, and Mrs, Givens and their eight children, along with the Brown family for the courage that they have show throlighout — this ordeal.

VALLEY LIBERATION FRONT Cincinnati, Ohig 4 me 4 WHEN ONE WALKS THROUGH BOSTONS SOUTH END, HE 1S CONFRONTED BY A SCENE THAT QUICKLY REMINDS HIM OF GENOCIDE BROTHERS TALKING ON THE STREETS, WHILE CHILDREN PLAY IN THE SOUTH END OF BOSTON, On Saturday, June 27, 1970, at approximately 6:30 am, 36 Braddock Street, a building in Boston's. South End collapsed. The building was occupied by five tenants and one occupant, Mrs. Ella Dean who is 60 years old, was scriousdy hurt. This is the third such incident concerning collapsing buildings in the South End in the last 6 or 7 months. Objective reality tells us that these incidents are not scattered and isolated. Instead they are all connected and wind up in the same category—substandard housing, which is provided by the city of Boston for its Black and poor population. Some of the facts surrounding this particular incident are very interesting. In 1965, the apartment building next to 36 Brmddock was torn down because it was condemned by the city. 36 Braddock St. was left along with a long row of peconnected tocach other, as is the case with most South End housing. After the people demanded that 36 Braddock Street be inspected, the city sent its syuad of building inspectors around. They found that 36 Braddock needed support on its right wall where the other building had been torn down and most of all, the building needed a fire-escape. In 1967, a court order Was given to have these repairs made Of course pigs never check up on other pigs, and the court never investigated to see if the repairs had been made, To complicate matters, 36 Braddock St, was onc of the houses scheduled to be torn down to make way for the South End By-Pass of the ‘Inner Belt Highway. Obviously, we can conclude that the BRA never intended to repair the building from the start. Nothing developed further until the morning of June 27th, when the building collapsed, The city called on the Duane Crane Company, and as the people watched, what was left of 36 Braddock Street, was torn down. The tenants in the building say that they had been paying rent to a slumlord named Washington, but it is more likely to assume that this pig was a front for a larger company, because the building was scheduled to be demolished. This larger company is te a bank, assuming that the usual procedure that a slumlord follows is to sell his condemned property to a bank or some other corporation. When one walks through Boston's South End, he is confronted by a scene that quickly reminds him of Betlin or London after World War II. Block after block of burned out, up, semi or fully demolished housing, makes up a large part of the area. This in itself is an indictment of the city of Boston for refusing to ‘ovide decent housing for its people; it the facts pile up and up, leading the people to suspect genocide: genocite in the form of failure or ‘deliberate refusal to provide shelter that’s fit for the housing of human beings. In the past few years, the racist, Money = greedy beasts who run Boston have seen fit to _ Move the South End residents out because of the location of the South Prudential Center, where all of “the businessmen have their jobs; John Hancock Plaza, another population of the South End has decreased from 48,000 in 1960 to about 26,000 now, The reason for this drop in population is the fact that the money hungry, inhuman devils who operate the BRA, under supreme guidance from the biggest racist devil of them all, Kevin Hitler White, has been rehabilitating much of the housing for the use of the rich, racist businessmen and suburbanites who are rapidly buying up property in the South End. This housing is being converted into luxury unitsnot for use by the people, but high realestate value and modern housing. The South End By-Pass of the Inner-Belt Highway, mentioned previously, is scheduled to fun through Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, and the South End, reaching a stop at John Hancock Center. This will allow all of the businessmen from the Suburbs to get their stomping grounds in downtown Boston much easier, Because of this, over 100 homes have been demolished and others boarded up, The city is supposedly not going to build the highway, upon demand from the BOSTON’S SOUTH END for the fuxury of these low-lifed beasts who could care less about the well-being of Black people. The BRA also owns some 450 odd picces of housing in the South End, and under constant threats and rising rents, Black and poor people have no choice but to move, And they can only move into Roxbury of North-Dorchester where the rest of the Black people are: This is part of the plan to concentrate all of the Black people into one small area so that it willbecasierto deal us off when that idiot, fascist Richard the pig-hearted Nixon, decides to launch his maniacal plan of exterminating all Black people. Another reason for the attempted break-up of the South End community is that the population breakdown of the South End is about 38% Black, 37% poor White and 20% Puerto Rican, and because of the city’s efforts to keep these people divided by racism, religion and fear, the people of the South End are very politically aware. The constant pig brutality against the South End residents has caused the people to recognize their enemy; Mayor White and his circus of devils and beasts. Due to the housing conditions and the below sub-standard housing, more than 150 families have cither been injured seriously or killed duc to fires which rip through the poorly built housing like a match catches to paper Businessmen's hangout and the Christian Science Complex, are all located very near the South End. So it would be extremely profitable for the city and for the businessmen and Suburbanites to move the people out of the South End and convert it into another Commonwealth Avenue with people, as Kevin hitler White put it But we know this merely to be another election year sham to fool the people. As soon as the new pigs are in office after the November elections in the city, work will continue full steam on the South End By-Pass. Much more convincing doesn't have to be put down before we realize that Boston's finest pork intimidates and harasses the people in an attempt to get the people to leave the South End voluntarily, We are calling a Spade a Spade and a pig a pig, and this act by the city of Boston to try and uproot the people is similar to the Indian Removal Policies of President Andrew Jackson in the carly 1800's, When Jackson couldn't get our Indian brothers to move volunturily, he used terrorism, trickery and murder to accomplish his goal, and we see this as the same policy that Kevin White and the beasts of the Boston governing circle are using against the people in the South End. There has been no low-income housing built in Boston since 1954, and this means that the people are forced to live in conditions that are the same or even worse than those that they left, Low-income housing projects, like Orchard Park, Mission Hill and Mission Hill Extension, Bromley-Health and the others are old, decaying boxes in which Black and poor people are stacked one on top of the other like sardines. What is obviously needed here is modern housing for the people, that is fit for the shelter of human beings The housing situation in the South End is of primary importance as far as we the people are concerned, because we recognize the factthat if it THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1970 PAGE ¥ were left up to the BHA and the city of Boston, we would all be living in the streets. People should not be forced to live in housing that has no hot rminning water, broken toilet fixtures, falling and. peeling platter and huge roaches, ants, rats and mice, The mere fact that a person is born, automatically entitles him to the best housing possible. We are not animals to be stacked away in boxes or cages and to be moved around and housed at the whim of some fascist devil who doesn't care about our well-being from the start. We have grown tired of the housing, tired of the rats, the jive promises from lying racist Kevin White and his friends, and we have grown tired of being tired. Three years ago, the people of the South End recognized these facts, and they moved on the situation by taking over a vacant lot owned by a rich exploiting beast, The people put up tents to dramatize their desperate need for better housing. The fascist storm troops of Kevin Hitler White, vamped on site,-deating brothers and sisters, left and right and arrested over 100 people. Then the hardest blow of all hit when the so-called community leaders accepted a $10,000 sellout. No one has seen the moncy since, except of course those hand-picked community leaders. The tesult of this action was a split in the community, There are those who recognize that people's power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and can telate to self-defense, Then there are the brothers and sisters who have been misled by these so-called leaders and are looking for a change by still relating to the system. The city of Boston has shown through its practice that the oppressed poor people have no rights that the rich are bound to respect. If we were to wait for the city of Boston to better our conditions, we would be waiting forever, so the time is now and it is up to us to move. Later for pacification programs and pacification leaders because we are angry and we have every right to be. Arming ourselves from house to house, block to block and community to community will give us the power to change our conditions. Our position is that the slumiords only come into our communities when the rent is due, so they are not going to receive any rent money at all. Instead, the rent money can be used to rehabilitate our homes, using our own creative abilities und inborn talents and initiative, When the slumlord comes with the court constable and the beasts in blue, they shouk! be met at the door’ with 00 buck from a L2-gauge shotgun because it is our right to protect our property against such invasions, The same is true for the BRA and anyone else who thinks that he will evict us from our homes or tear down our homes so that some rich White folks can take the land over for their own use, We recognize in the final analysis, that the only way in which we will get decent housing is when we rise like a mighty storm to destroy every last pig, beast and devil that is oppressing us and stopping us from living as human beings. Once the people take over, our love for cach other and our hard work will create housing that is fit to live in. Then we will really be able to know what the people's power is, We, the people of Boston's South End and other Black communities indict the BHA, the BRA, Mayor Kevin Hitler White and all of his beast associates for crimes against the people; for maintaining poor living conditions for Black people; for completely dehumanizing us to the point where we cannot live in harmony with our fellowmen and for sending the storm troops of Boston's Pig Department to harass, arrest and kill us when we refuse to tolerate these conditions. The fate of these pigs is ultimately in the hands of the people, and with our 12-gauge shotguns, .357 magnums and .30-06's, we will definitely see that justice is done, A balloon can only be filled with so much air, otherwise it will burst, and we have had enough of our conditions and the beasts who are causing them; and we will burst open and spill out into the streets, to take what is rightfully ours, And this is a fact, independent of whether the pigs like it or not. People of the South End, unite and destroy the enemy wherever he shows his low-lifed, beastly face. Let's take all power to the people a reality. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! OUR SALVATION IS TO PICK UP THE GUN! BLACK PANTHER PARTY Boston Chapter Ronald Tyson tHT WHY OUR SCHOOLS KEEP TUMBLING In a recent issue of a local Boston newspaper, an article ap- peared concerning the decadent condition of the schools by saying that it was, in fact, the fault of the inefficient carpenters and re- pairmen who had been hired to do the Job. Dig this jive. These fools can always come up with some excuse to try to “"justify’’ @o whom?) their racist, ‘*l don’t care’’ at- titude that’s constantly meted our to our communities andeverything in our communities, But who are these fools trying to kid with this madness about re- pairmen? Certainly not the Black community, whose kids have to go to these schools everyday, and sit in classrooms where the tempera- ture is never norma]; where the floors have boards missing; where rats run amuck and there are no adequate collet facilities. If these Jive mothers really were Interested in our schools, and wanted to know ‘‘why they keep tumbling all they would have todo would be to ask the parents and children in the community, They would tell them what and who Is the cause of thelr children sitting up in some re-infested hole for eight hours a day, to be brainwashed with some fixation about his worth- lessness aS a creative human being. We know tharthe administrators of this city government have no In- terest In our children’s well being, We know, In fact, that these pigs would Like to see our youth ripped off before they have the time to de- come revolutionaries, And this basic premise of a mass genoct- dal plot is their main reason for keeping our schools inthe dete- rioating conditions they are in: A form of genocide against our youth, Today, in Babylon, there can be no excuse or justification for the type of “‘school’’ found in the Black community. Because of man's high level of technology, our youth should be provided with the best facilities available in which to learn of themselves and their place inthis society, Because of these pigs practice, in the past and presently, we are well aware that they are the cause of our ‘tumbling’ schools, The only time any kind of move has been made, on thelc part to “‘ap- pear’? to be doing something to alleviate the slum conditions of our schools, is when enough force from the people has been exerced upon them. And even then, the only type of repair work done, is to put a parch here and there; cover up work, They figure that niggers are so dumb and gullible that as long as tiey (the pigs) appear to be repairing the schools niggers will be satisfied. Later for your jive lines about why our schools keep tumbling. The people in our community know why; we see clear through all your lieg and alibies, and we know that the only why we'll ever have de- cent schools ig when we take the necessary tools ahd build them ourselves, , ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE DEATH TO THE FASCIST PIGS! Boston Chapter Black Panther Party wo» al only Yate, A JHE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1970 PAGE 4 Come on nigger you’re ‘ BLACK PEOPLE MUST ARM THEMSELVES AGAINST THE FASCIST PIGS THAT OCCUPY OUR COMMUNITIES Historically the Black Community has had to withstand unprovoked attacks by the pig power struc- ture and its lackeys, running dogs, and bootlickers. At 1:30 A.M, on July 13, 1970 the nearnorth Black Community of Indianapolis witnes- sed such an attack, Black People in Indpls. have had to deal with a pigforce which is an occupation force for the pig power structure. We in the Vanguard Party see what our role must be, we must educate the people by example, this was why we were defending the community. The people are be- ing educated to resist, to counter- attack, to organize into selfdefense groups, and most important to who the real enemy is. Our lives are at the disposal of the people, for it fs the people that matter, it is the people who created and have maintained the Black Panther Party, and it is our duty to protect the people. We will not allow racists ro shoot-up our communities. We have served notice that an attack against one is an attack against all, and that we won't hesitate to kill, and we are not afraid to die. We have made an analysis of the situation, and see some very Im- portant contradictions being exposed for the people to see. The Indpls. pigs or pigs anywhere aren *t ever going to protect the people, bur rather to protect the ruling class and its lackeys, Why else would the pigs refuse to investigate tho- roughly what went down; why else do pigs occupy our communities? The lumpen, the brothers off the block or as Malcom X put it, the ‘field niggers’ are hip to what's happening. They see where the pigs are coming from, and they see where the Black Panther Party is coming from. We love the lum- pen, because we are the lumpen ourselves, we are manifested inthe lumpen, and the lumpen are hip to this also, Our Area Captain, Bob O'Bannon said jn his statement at the press conference we held; ‘The only thing to pray for is more ammunitilon’. Right on] It is about the people arming themselves to move to create arighteous people's democracy, and nothing less. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! ARM YOURSELF OR HARM YOURSELF! BLACK PANTHER PARTY Indiana Chapter Keith S. Parker TWO PIGS DEAD A STRUGGLE AHEAD Everyday the pigs of the power structure are making things a whole “fot clearer for the forces of tevolution, as we observe and analyze ‘their actions, forming our strategy. Recently two pigs were killed in the Cabrini Green housing projects, located on the “near Northside of Chicago”, To the resident of Cabrini, death is nothing mew, because as oppressed Black people violent death is a intergral part of our life style. However the shooting of these two White policemen, who are part of a miuch larger force of “armed pigs” ‘throughout our community, was a change, a revolutionary change when compared to the violent deaths previously committed, Because the deaths of these pigs was Violence” directed towards the living symbols of ‘oppression in our community, aga es conditions, this was reactionary violence. This Revolutionary ‘Violence was directed against the etwalking and talking” symbols responsible for “enforcing laws in a society which would allow tens of thousands of oppressed people to live ina few square blocks of land, like animals in a social zoo, There is no need for “oppressed people” to come forth and apologize to the oppressor for these Pigs deaths, because “‘progressive people in the community saw this as a way of manifesting the determination of our people to be free. There is nothing for anyone to say, Leva the people, the ¢ people, have already spoken, and their language came “from the barrel of a gun” anyone, from Jessie Jackson on up, who through statements and actions apologize to America, (or for America) to these dirty-rotten-racist- fascist Chicago pigs, is wrong. How can We say that “the deaths of these pigs was a painful senseless act? No Black leader should have the audacity to tell people who have suffered over 400 years, that we should be sorry and mourn or cry because two armed members of the oppressors forces got killed. To say that its shameful, pitiful, is to say that it is alright for Black people to suffer, as long as we suffer peacefully. We say that the day is long gone when Black people will allow apologizing bootlicking niggers, and racist of America, to disarm and kill us: We have no other choice but to fight, and we must use the same tools used by our oppressor, _ Servin and Razzato, may have “been two of the nicest pigs in pape but their relationship to regia a dint hepeetite 1 be Shey “waited aie our they were sent by their “political superior”, whom they kept constant communications with on radio, We the people of the community had “no control” over them, they took their orders from Mayor Daley and the wealthy pigs who run Chicago, “They didn't live in the community, or protect us from the social evils, oppressing us at a people, They have proven that they are not concerned for our problems in the past, They shoot us down in cold blood, turn dogs, cattle prods and guns against innocent unarmed men, women, and children, Anytime we try to redress our grievances or change our living situation, the pigs are the first sent in to attack, arrest, brutalize and murder us. They have no respect for our constitutional rights, or our rights as humans, as a people, They have murdered our leaders, and made “national threats” to all oppressed people secking a change, We have talked, peacefully trying to change, them, but they have grown arrogant and think that they own the world. Recently the pigs national organization proclaimed that if the politicians and rich pigs would not let them “open up” on the Black community, and kill” or arrest the criminals, then they would cithergo on strike ordo it anyway, What if the pigs “nationally” opened up on the Black Community? Who would stop them? Not the apologizing bootlicking civil rights lackeys, the method is to get some guns ready, and draw the boundary line at our community, and then we can end the violence and oppression perpetrated against us “by anyone”. We cannot allow the treacherous ami -bootlicking civil rights pies -spologists to trick 1&5 into Rooks deste our cotimunity and our lives to the complete dominance of the pigs. This would be suicidal, it would be open slavery and eventual death. We must look at our history and see the truth. The pigs have been brutalizing and murdering our people every since we have been here, we cannot allow these maniacs to unarm and murder us without fighting back. There can be no apologies or guilt in the hearts of the oppressed for the dead oppressors. So many of our people have died at the hands of the racist pig oppressors that it makes these pigs deaths simply two cast against infinity. ARM YOURSELF OR HARM YOURSELF TWO PIGS DEAD A WHOLE STRUGGLE AHEAD Monk Teba WELFARE MOTHERS FIGHT FOR WHAT’S The Marion county trustee office is listed as being under the direction of blackpuppet Dr. Benjamin Osborne. The office of the trustee controls the Now of food stamps and it is from this office that constant cties of being broke is heard loud and clear. Early this year monies that were not suposed to exist, and suposedly under the contro! of puppet Osborne tured up after pressure from the mothers became very Strong. It is common knowledge that the pigs in the welfare and trustee offices are enemies of the people. Welfare pigs feel that it is their right to deny the people that which they so deserve, Mothers are threatened by these pigs if they declare any interest tn the welfare rights organization, On Tuesday June 9th, 19 mothers were arrested along with a Reverend, as they petitoned the center township trustee office secking summer dothing for their children, Sixty mothers marched outside in support of their sisters inside, The mothers inside confronted puppet Osborne about additional funds for the clothing. Screamingand waving his arms, Osborne stated, that he could not give money to the mothers and even if he had it without the green fight from his pig boss he could not give it up. The sisters were not relating to this jive and refused to budge. Suddenly, slobbering and cinking, the pigs showed on the scene, using their usual tactics of brutality and lies to justify their reactionary practice. Puppet Osborne stated that the mothers were in violation of the law and it was not necessary for him to have them arrested. Osborne further stated that he felt that the pigs would have been in violation of their duties if they failed to arrest the sister. This proves how well programed puppets and pawns can PIG REPRESSION IN DETROIT HAS On July 1S, 1970, Hoof-mouthed J. Edgar Hoover, made a state- ment that the Black Panther Party was the greatest threat to na- tiona] securiry, Since this state- ment was issued by war mongrel Hoover, the Wayne County Grand Jury has subpoensed Malik Mc- Clure, Charles Holt, Norman, Mc- Kee, slong with 10 other people from the community. The Grand Jury has denied all of us legal representation which means they plan on. railroading us to prison on a bunch of trumped up charges, stemming from first degree mur- der, to contempt of court. We of the Detroit N.C,.C.F, have no plans on letting the fascists railroad us in any courtroom with- out any type of legal representa- tion. This is not only a violation of our constitutional rights, it’s a violation of our human rights which we have been fighting decades for. We have seen the fascists rail- road members of the Black Pan- ther Party since the existence of the Party, We of the Detroit N.C.C.F, will not sit back and watch such people as hoof-mouth Hoover, prosecuting attorney Co- halan, wipe us out at his discrep- ancy. We will teach the people how to implement decentralization of the pigs on the highest level if this is whar it takes to have the fascists remove his funky feet from off our necks, The N.C,C,F, in Detroit has been since its existence, implementing socialistic programs such as the Free Breakfast Program, and Free Lunch Program, In one cen- ter we feed over 200 youth, Charles Holt, 27, who is our Lunch coordi- nator, has had his door kicked down on numerous occasions, he has been arrested and beaten for serving the youths lunch, six days a week.

As part of the first day of basic training, he had just completed a routine 20- yard crawl, Suddenly, he keeled over. He was rushed to the med- ical clinic, but on arrival he was dead, Autopsy revealed severe sicki- ing of the blood cells; the cause of death was sickle-cell trait, an inherited condition in which the normally round red blood celis become sickle shaped under cer- tain stressful, situations. Such cells cannot pass freely through the body's many tiny arteries, and they pile up causing blood clots. Within a year, three other re- cruits also stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, died sudden deaths resulting from sickle-cell trait. All were Black; which was not suprising, since the condition affect Blacks almost exclusively. What precipitated the death of these men? Probably the com- bination of stress and high al- titude (Fort Bliss is abour 4,000 feet above sea level.), speculates Dr, Richard A, Binder, a hema- tologist William Beaumont WE WILL When members of the differ- ent communities try to solicit do- nations, they are turned down re- peatedly by the avaricious busi- nesses and stores In thelr com- at munity. They are refused dona- tions of any kind to be used to serve nutritious food to their chil- dren in the Free Breakfast Program and the Free Libera- tion School, breakfast and lunch. Most of the businesses and Stores in the communities and other money getters from the community don't return any ofthe people's investment back into the responsibility of making and maintaining a strong healthy and righteous environment of all its people. The people produce al! the wealth and resources for the high standard of living that our minds and bodies have created. But alas, after we have tolled fields, fought their wars and used all our labor to enable survival for us all. We're repaid with be- ing robbed of all that we're worth and then left to die, From the exploitation and degradation ofthe oppressed people of the world a few greedy, Money power crazy, blood thirsty capitalists enjoy all that we produce and leave us vic- tims of not only the racist cor- rupt vicious dog pigs they created and allowed to run amuck tn our communities, but also from the Starved, filthy, and dangerous en- vironment they left us in, Stores like Safeway’s suck us dry and won't even contribute to filling the bellies of the children they ignore. Pigs really can care less PL. RAN OUT OF BLACK COMMUNITY AGAIN General Hospital, in El Paso, As a result, Dr, Binder recom- mends that all Blacks be scre- ened for this inherited blood trait, before they undergo basic training. Other doctors have urged that all Blacks be ronr- inely tested for sickle-cell trait before surgery and before parti- cipation in strenuous athletics. After four deaths at Fort Bliss, Dr. Binder screened 1,000 Black recruits. Seventy - six turned out to have sickle-cell trait. Three of these men had & second Inherited blood disorder and were exempted from active training because Dr. Binder felt they faced an especially high risk. It ig a shame that most of the Public Health institutions haven't taken the responsibility of inform- ing Blacks of the particular Sickle-cell trait, and I also feel that more money should be spent to do further research of the disease, It is also a shame to quote how much money has been Spent on sickle-cell anemia as compared with other diseases and there epidemloligical effects upon people, SURVIVE how we survive Just so long as we don't mess up their game. “We will have to save ourselves, There are stores in the Black colony and other communities that realize that the people who patron- ize them are hungry human be- ings who are being robbed of their very rights for survival and re- spond by giving what they can to the Free Breakfast for School Children Program and Liberation School Breakfast and Lunch, With resources like these and the peo- ple’s movement for change we will continue to serve our chil- dren the best meals possible, Since the beginning of the Free Breakfast for School Children Program, children of the com- munity have enjoyed nutritious hot meals such as sausage, pancakes, hot chocolate, grits, eggs and do- nuts, Many of them now also en- Joy a free hot lunch of maybe: hamburgers and french fries, corn, pop or koolaid, and do- nuts or some soulful spaghetti, etc. In our quest for victoryto bring about change and guarantee us our unalienable rights of life, lib- erty and the pursuit of happiness, the Black Panther Party will, by any means necessary, continue to Serve the people in the interest of our survival, DARE TO STRUGGLE, DARE TO WIN!

Progressive Labor Party tends to think that Black people are still in a state of fixation, unable to make decisions. They, PLP, tend to think that Black people are Without minds and that they the Whites will deliver us from all evils. But they are wrong!

MAYOR PIG DALEY AND PRESIDENT MEALY MOU HIXON, HAVE GONE FROM MURDERING BROTHERS IN BED TO KIDNAPPING AND BLOWING THEM UP | ON RAILROAD TRACKS : ANOTHER PANTHER MURDERED — BY PIGS i BABATUNDE The FBI, CIA, Chicago Police Department, Mayor Daley and President Richard Mealy-Mouthed Nixon and the rest of the govern- ment conspiracy to commit geno- cide on the Black Panther Party and Black people as a whole are becoming so inhumanly foul in the tactics they employ against us that they have gone from the level of murdering our brothers In the bed to kidnapping our brothers and blowing them upon railroad tracks. Babatunde, 26, was aknown ded- fcated member of the Black Pan- ther Party. He was truly a beauti- ful brother, 4 true revolutionary who loved and understood our people and wanted decent housing, enough food, proper clothing, and true education for them. He was more than ready to give his life to make these changes. Babatunde belHeved just as the late and-most highest Malcolm X, who would say “by any means necessary’’, Baba- tunde attended and worked at Mal- colm X College, Before he came to Malcolm X he had spent two years In the army's 82 Airborne Division at Fort Bragg North Caro- lina, Two years in North Caro- lina’s hot, swampy fields along with thousands of other Black mislead youth whom are treated like dogs throughout the armed forces and just the same on the streets in every city and country town when they get out, Babatunde is an example of one of our many revolutionary brothers who have turned from black cannon fodder to Black liberation fighter, When- ever this happens, this racist American government becomes frantic and will go to any lengths to get these brothers off the scene. Such as they are doing to Chair- man Bobby, and Geronimo, Deputy Minister of Defense of_Southern California, They know thar the skills the brothers and sisters learned in the armed forces will be ubed against them in our strug- gle for liberation, against the econ- omic exploitation and racist op- pression that Black people suffer at the hands of this fascisc In- human power structure, lf is more than just a coinci- dence that Babatunde had just sur- vived more than one attempt on his iife. He had just returned from the Cairo-Carbondale area where he had organized the N,C.C,F, of Southern UMnols, One attempt on his Ufe while in Carbondale hap- | 4 pened whea one of the wheels off his car while he was with his wife on the way Someone had loosened all fe wheels on his car and us a red sult Babatunde’s pregnant Shirley, was seriously injured a is still bed ridden. Before this happened he was threatened by FBI pigs who sald they would "kill alm if he didn’t stop aggitating’’, After Babatunde was murdered. in a barbaric, terroristic gangster: style manner, this power struc-. tures parroting lackles (journal- ists and reporters) are used to white wash the truth, lie and mis- lead the people, Why is it that someone can blow himself up < a railroad track when in fact the track shows no signs of ever being touched? These outlandish lies are a part of the conspiracy to make the Black Panther Party look like a bunch of hoodlums and to prove the validity of the blue-}- print for revolution allegedly ori- ginating from the Black Panther Party, Chicago Headquarters which includes the destruction of railroads. Leroy Thomas (re- porter for the Chicago Daily De- fender) said in his report “'the remaining teeth protruded tesquely from the open mouth appeared to have been trying to utter a scream”, it is no doubt he was probably screaming when he was being helplessly murdered at the hands of homicidal beasts. They said his body was found In a leaning position. How can any- one still be leaning after absorb- ing the blast of a bomb? They sald they identified him to be a Black Panther, but Panthers don’t carry Identification cards and the way he was So hideously blown a- part from head to toe, no one could have identified him, The only rea- son the pigs knew it was Baba- tunde, a Black Panther, on those tracks is because it was they them- selves who put him onthose tracks in the first place. It is clear beyond a doubt thar Babatunde was murdered by fas- cist pigs as part of their vicious campaign to eliminate the Black j Panther Party. Just as Ralph Fea- therstone was blown up In H. Rap Brown's car by these same fas- cist elements of this racist S0- ciety and they accused them of carrying bombs in their car, The sadistically. inhuman murders of Babatunde, Ralph Featherstone, Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, and Carl Hampton clearly shows chat this government will go to any lengths to get rid of all revolu- tlonaries, We, as a people, must arm ourselves in order to halt the genocide that is being com- mitted against us, One does not) have to be a Black Panther or even be labelled as being a mill- tant or radical or subversive to be a victim.

BLACK PANTHER PARTY Illinois Chapter CONCENTRATION CAMPS U.S.A. WE CAN BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARE FOR FREEDOM SEEKING PEOPLE WHO ARE FEARED BY THE POWER STRUCTURE BECAUSE WE POSE A MAIN THREAT TO THE SADISTIC OPPRESSING POWER STRUCTURE A condition which we must an- ticipate and for which we must prepare camps, concentration camps sitting silently empty of prisoners; but waiting and ready- like some infernal bomb; that the Sligntest move egalnst ihe fascist imperialist government of Babylon would blow sky high. We can be absolutely sure thar the concen- tration camps are for freedom seeking people who are feared by the power structure because they pose 4a main threat to the sa- distic oppressing power structure. The concentration camp will soon become used as one of the fund- amenral institutions of the fas- cist American government. It is working its way toward becoming 4 pillar of the system of capiral- ism and terror by which the pigs consolidate power over the al- ready oppressed peoples of the world, It will become another fas- cist tactic against Black lumpen- proletariats, Black proletariats, White lumpenproletariats against those who want peace, against op- position or non-conformity of any king. The concentration camps will involve the systematic use of terror to maintain the cohesion of the evil imperialist U.S, gov- ernment. The murderous power Structure chose inaccessible are- aS not too far from the larger cities, this served as a dual pur- pose, the prisons are Isolated... yet the rest of the population will still be kept in a state of terror. This fool minded theory has al- ready been set into fool minded practices. In the summer of 19S, several thousand demon- Strators were grabbed by the ra- cist Alabama police and forcibly put behind reactionary erected barbed wire pens for more than 72 hours on the state fair grounds in Birmingham, with the institut- ing of the McCarran Act, the Con- Stitution was further exposed for its non relationship to the interest of the people. The Bill of Rights is returned to its alley to wait for pick up by the trash men. Sincere people will be ridden away from their families’ and friends, if we don't struggle to smash this sytem of oppression. Allenwood, Pa,, Eleano, Okla,, Florence, Arizona, Wikenburg, Arizona, and Tule Lake, Calif. These concentration camps have been erected by the foam-mouthed members of the U.S, power struc- qre. Only a fool would endorse an atternpt by some one else to enslave him under conditions re- lating to iron chains to secure im- prisonment; bread, water, and canned rations for food; and shot- guns as their keeper, It is detri- mental to the fight for liberation for us to just lay passively while out graves are steadily being dug deeper. We must move to expose these blood thirsty sadists for their diabolical scheme which will affect everyone in Babylon. The concentration camps must be des- troyed by any means necessary.

KATHLEEN CLEAVER COMMUNICATION SECRETARY BLACK PANTHER PARTY When shall the transformation of the dependent Black colony of Afro- America into the independent country of Afro-American people take place? When we, the people of Afro-Ame.ica, rise with one mind, one body, and one soul to wrench our liberty from the clenches of our captors, We are acap- tured people, forced violently against our will into slaveships sailing to _America with our forefathers for cargo, incarcerated violently in the fields of Babylon to perform slave labor, We are now incarcerated not only in the fields but also in the cities and all the other basic appendages of the capitalist oli- garchy which rules our lives--the Army, the civil service, the churches, schools, hospitals and other institutions WHO RESPECTS THE BLACK ~ MAN’S RIGHTS? ’ Judge Taney, in his famous decision on the Dred Scott case, ruled that a Black man was a slave because he was Black regardless of whether the laws of the state in which he lived allowed or prohibited slavery, He stated in his decision that, ‘*A Black man has no rights a White man is bound to respect,’’ Coming from the mouth of an official representative of the govern- ment appointed to dispense ‘‘justice’’ in a court of ‘‘law”, those words ex- pressed the basic ideological tenet of racism, In terms of our struggle to free Black people being waged in the streets, schools, armed services, and courts of present day America, nothing seems to have changed in this basic premise, Black people still have no rights, White people still know this, and still per- petuate the system that allows this con- dition to exist in all kinds of blatant and subtle ways, in all aspects of Amer- ican society, within all classes of people, The question raised today by this reality is who, then, is our real ene- my? Is it only the courts and police and other apparatuses of control that govern this country for the benefit of capitalism, or is it even more broad- ly dispersed among all the elements of the population who actively practice racism or passively allow it to con- taminate our existence? Does the White man have any rights the Black man is bound to respect? If all White people are at liberty to disregard the rights of all Black of the society which aggress upon our daily lives, Therefore, for us to rise up and free ourselves from the shac- kles and bonds of 20th century sla- very in capitalism, racism, and im- perialism is only the due consequence of the course we have been following since our bloody arrival on these ac- cursed shores, For us to attain as a people our common goal of freedom-- from racist oppression and economic exploitation--we must simply build among ourselves, for ourselves the machinery capable of reaching that destination, We must unify ourselves, bind our divided talents, resources, knowledge and skills into one collec- tive whole, pursue our efforts with sustained courage and determination, and victory shall be ours. As a united people we present an invincible counter-force to the racist violence of fascist America, But as a disunited people, we face the future of being its last but final victim, Even if our oppressor, the beast, succeeds in driving us to the pit of destruction, before we are completely extermina- ted, he will have so thoroughly extended his machinery of control and repres- KATHLEEN AND MACEO people, and are encouraged to do so by all the institutions of society, what apparatus is there which binds those Whites who seem to recognize that this is unjust and seem to acknow- ledge the rights of Black people to firmly maintain this position? What concretely exists in presentday Amer- ica tO prevent these same White people from reneging on this recognition and refusing to respect the rights of Black people? What assurance do we have that they are not merely pretending to be humane, moral and ‘'revolution- ary’’ in order to deceive and confuse and divide us? What GUARANTEE do we have that they too will not revert & to the majority position articulated by Judge Taney and echoed by Judge Hoff- § man when the pressure becomes too great, that they too will not acquiesce in the violent enforcement of this posi- tion by the fascist American govern- ment? We are not so foolish as to Judge 3 sion into its total domestic operation — that all of his international enemies will be able to wipe him off their lands and off the face of the earth, If we face his force with correct rev- olutionary tactics and strategy, how- ever, success is certain in attaining our precious liberty, The only way to put an end to violence in the service of racist oppression and economic exploi- tation is to use violence in the service of freedom, justice and peace, If war alone will attain our rights on this land nourished for centuries with our flesh, our blood, our bones, our suffering and our labor, then let us have war, And let us have war quickly and forcefully, so that we may rest together at its culmination to enjoy the fruits or our labor and a well- deserved rest in our life times, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

PEOPLE’S _ FREE BUSSING PROGRAM The Black Panther Party has established a Free Bussing Pro- gram throughout the state of Wash- ington, The purpose for this is to visit the brothers and sisters in prisons, stare and federal insti- tutions, to establish a close rela- tionship between the community and the prisoners. Then the com- munity can find out the specific cases of these brothers and check out the parole board and see how racist it is. We found out that many families and friends cannot afford transportation to these pri- Sons to visit their loved ones. The result is thar the prisoners feel that no one even cares about them thus leaving them at the mercy of those sadistic pigs from prison, Saturday, July 11, 1970, the Black Panther Party along with members of the Black community gathered in front of the Black Com- munity Information Center to go Monroe Prison, The people were bashful at first but after sitting around talking for a while we got to know each other. A lot of peo- ple were very happy with the Free Bussing Program that also pro- vided free transportation and free food. It gives a chance to estab- lish some type of communication between the community and the prisoners. The bus arrived at 11:30 a.m, and everyone started getting on the bus. Some of the women helped prepare the food for lunch. Werwere talking on the way there about the prisons and what type of treatment the brothers are re- ceiving. Most of the people were unaware of the conditions that exist in the prisons. Some of the people were very aware of what was com- ing down and hipped everyone to what was happening. Many of the brothers that are railroaded to prison don’t even have hearings, The trials are brief and one-sided, No. 9 of the Ten Point Platform and Program states, ‘‘We want all Black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer groups or people from their Black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United Srates,'’ All of the brothers and sisters who have been brought to trial, were not judged by a jury of their peer group, in fact they are at the mer- cy of racists and bigots who have no understanding of the average reasoning man in the Black com- munity, the two situations are dif- ferent as day and night... After the trials, they are sent to prisons with ridiculous senten- ces. For example; A brother we know is serving a six year prison tem for allegedly carrying an ille- gal weapon, He didn’t kill anybody, he wasn’t threatening anybody, and he didn't rob anybody, The brother didn’t even have a gun in his pos- session when he was kidnapped off the streets. A case such as this, is only one in a thousand, He didn't have a jury of his peer group, His case shows just how corrupt this country’s judicial system Is, It is not only a very racist system but very corrupt and unbalanced, About six years ago, a young Black man by the name of Donnie Din- ish was murdered. The man who did ir only got # year and a half for his crime. Now how is some- body going to get away with kill- ing a man serving only 1 1/2 years, when a Bluck man gets six years for supposedly carry- ing a firearm? A Black man can “get more time for robbing a bank 5 White man can get for taking “a human life, That just shows the people that this government puts more value on money and material than humanlife, Oppressed people have no rights that the oppressor is bound to respect, 80 we must all wake up to the fascism that is running rampant in the world, In many cases a lot of prisoa- ers are tortured because they re- fuse to except the inhumane con- ditions that are thrown upon them, They are ill fed, the food infested with worms, spoiled and no good. It is a daily experience for bro- thers cto be thrown in the hole for days, weeks at a time. They are treated like animals and there is no chince of getting close to the other sex so they can relate to each other.

The brother simply asked these pigs what was this all about, the pigs replied that they wantedGeorge to get into thelr car, George stated that he hadn't done anything wrong so he didn’t see why he should be getting into their mobile. Ar this time people from the commu- nity asked the pigs to show them @ warrant and the pigs asked the brother to get into the car again, George also stated that if they showed him 4 warrant that he would get into the car. The pigs then replied that they didn't need a warrant for a juvenile ( 4 young nigger,) then these 2 dogs just threw George up against the car several times. People from the community along with nearly one hundred little children who witnessed these acts of police brutality began to simply ask the pigs to show them a warrant and they would ask the brother to get in to the car, The pigs simply said later for awarrantand later for the people of the community, Ar this point the pigs got really restiess at thelr inability to get George into their pig mobile so they just went all out and bru- tally attempted to drag the broth- er into the car. The pigs suceed- ed in getting part of George's body into the car but were un- sucessful in getting the brother's head and arms inside of the car, At this point the pigs showed why the Black Panther Party calls them low natured beast, and foul depraved traducers, These low lifed dogs attempted to shut the car door on George's head but a broth- er from the community grabbed one of the pigs by the armand asked them not to slam the door on the brothers head, These pigsre- cognizing that the people of the community had had enough of this intolerable madness movedto call for reinforcements, within min- utes seven carloads of pigs emer- ged on the scene and pulled their riot pump shotguns and billy bats on very small children with 2 nigger pigs leading the way, they used the barrels and butts of their guns to push the little children around, Brother George final- ly subdued, was taken away by by these lowlifed dogs without his mother knowing about his arrest, The pigs also jumped on two other little brothers from the community James Peck 13 years old, and Thomas Thompson, they tried to make the brothers tell about where some money was was ripped off from racist, ava- ricious White person, With the community uptight, with this act of police brutality with the pigs showing no regard for the life of little children and also with the N.C.C,F, on the scene the pig de- partment, attempted to send their community pig relation workers from the Model ‘pig’ city laison patrol into the area to calm down the angry niggers and justify the acts of the low lifed dogs, But the people of the community didn’t want to hear a word these \i@ SUT THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY.

He also asked for iden- tification but no answers were gi- ven. He then asked them to leave his property, While they were still ignoring him. he went into the trailer to try and find the nec- cessary too] to make them listen to him and also to keep his and property from being damaged any further by these savage pigs. When he came back outside armed, he asked them once again to leave his property. At this point a hail of bullets was fired on tim, all missing being that these pigs were scared out of their wits, He then returned fire hitting one of these pigs in the face, He was fired on again by a nigger pig, which wounded him In the arm, His plece was knocked from tis hands, These beasts sec- ing that he was unarmed took the advantage and fired on him open- ly with two bullets striking him this time and killing him, These pigs could not leave the scene of the crime smiling as usual because this particular time one of their pig follies was left in critical condition with birdshot holes all in his fly Infested face.

Edgar Hoover, the homicidal agent, whose number one task is to liquidate the Black Panther Party by mur- der, imprisonment, by frame-ups such as New Haven, Connecticut, where the Chairman of the Black Panther Party, Bobby Seale is be- ing held without bail and subjected to all kinds of national (racial) in- Sults and inhumane conditions and restricted visiting rights. This is the same state where Lonnie Mc- Lucas is on trial faced with the electric chair. The hiring of an obvious Black informer named Donald Berry (an ex-milirary policeman) who testified in Wash- ington, D.C, that the Black Panther Party talked over plans at the U.F.A.F. Conference held in Oak- land, California (July 18-20, 1969): allegedly to kill palicemen as re- yenge for the murder of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, is most clearly a He in order to justify the many attacks and raids on our offices and homes. The threats by the mayor of New Orleans against the N.C,.C.F, members, declaring open war a- gainst the brothers and sisters organizing there shows the extent that the pigs will go to in order oO carry out its nefarious plot of genocide against the Black Panther Party. The fascist U.S, govern- ment and its Subcommittees goes Again as usual, these fools were masquerading as the victims of an unprovoked attack . They claim to be on the receiving end always, This old man was only trying to protect his home, which Is his legal right.

The more they try to come PRESS STATEMENT BLACK PANTHER PARTY NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS CONCERNING THE RECENT ATTACKS ON OUR PARTY BY THE FASCIST U.S. GOVERNMENT even further in its wicked scheme accusing the Black Panther Party in Chicago of having drawn up blue- prints to carry out sabotage of railorad stations, power plants, and assassinations of public of- ficials in Chicago, Illinois, This is very clearly an attempt at cover- ing up the vicious sangufnary (bloody) crimes of the fascist po- lice in that state, Where ar this very moment the homicidal agents of the Chicago, Illinois police de- partment are literally kidnapping young brothers and taking them off to some unknown camp as 4 re- sult of two policemen who were killed while walking the street in the Black community. The Black Panther Party views this as the start of preventative detention in its clearest forms. Tie meeting in Canada of the In- ternational Police Association, the reports from the Subcommittees, the open endorsement of the fas- cist laws suppressing our most basic constitutional rights, are the long awaited plans of the war maniac, Richard Nixon, who has just recently signed a bill giving the fascist pigs absolute power to kick our doors down, murder usin our sleep, kill us on the street, under the signboard of ‘'Anti- Crime”. The war boss Nixon has said that Washington, D.C, is the crime capital of the world. The Black Panther Party recognizes that Washington, D.C, is only the rounds for the so-called doors in a rowdy fashion with no authority and Seek to ransack our homes in violation of our human rights, will henceforth be treated as outlaws, asgansters as evildoers. We have no way of determining that a man in uni- form involved in a forced outlaw entry into our homes is in fact a guardian of the law He is acting like a lawbreaker and we must make an appropriate re- sponse, down on us, the more we'll ex- pose them for what they are...

The same Black people this racist Government considers a useless people, are the people being victimized by the oppression of the U.S.A, Of course the Nixon Hoover Company uses all divis- fons, facillities and apparatases to hold up,stop and destroy this type of correct information. We have documented evidence of a conglomeration of Incidents to prove every statement we make in revealing this Information, that in- criminates the American system of freedom of the press.

J Edgar Hoover was correct in his analysis that the effectiveness of the Party is through the news- papers, Notonly does he say this he moves to deal on that level in terms of destroying the newspaper Each raid that has been pulled on all of our offices and homes has been for two primary reasons (1) to kill and /or jail as many Pan- thers as possible and (2) make sure thar all newspapers in stock are destroyed or confiscated.

In this rechnique, the interrogator asks a series of questions as though it were a necessary for- mality in his routine duty, He gives the impression thathe knows the answer, but that he is re- quired to ask the question in con- sideration of the rights of the ac- cused, This procedure is busi- ness-like, but the interrogator pauses meaningfully as if to give the suspect one more chance to tell the truth. A prolonged silence will work with equal effectiveness, 5) Affording an Opportunity to Lie. This technique is useful when the interrogator has used direct questioning about the crime with- out success, It is lenghty, time- consuming and involved, but it serves the purpose of wearing down the subject. Questions dire- ctly concerning the crime are avoided, In acold methodical man- ner the interrogator first asks for detailed information con- cerning the subject's background, If he has knowledge of some in- discretion, he dwells around the event in great detail. He then pro- ceeds to the activities of the sub- ject before and after the crime in question, He goes into minute de- talls concerning money, move- ments and conversations, He re- peats and re-examines untilhe has built up a complete structure. He supports his questioning with his own knowledge of certain facts or events. Having reached this point, the investigator leans back and in a relaxed tone, invites the sub- ject to tell in his own words all that he knows about the offense, the victim, the complainant, pos- sible suspects, and the circum- Stances surrounding his Invol- vernent in the case, From all of this information, a capable inves- tigaror will be able to detect weak points such as lies, inconsisten- cles, improbabilities, andgaps. He should be patient, methodical, and aloof, willing to go over the events again, step-by-step and in minute detail in order to ‘‘ger the facts straight"’ for his report. The subject will, ordinarily, continue to answer questions, since he cannot know that all this information is not necessary for an investigative report. He is will- ing to assist the interrogator In developing his report. The inter- rogator gives the impression that he is not interested in guile or innocence: he wishes only to ob- tain details for his report. No person, obviously, should prevent the police from accomplishing their report by refusing to answer routine questions, Finally, the in- vestigator will have acquired an immense, complex, but not quite coherant structure of facts, data, descriptions, and events. It should not be difficult to discover anum- ber of lies In this way. At a “psychological moment"’ when the subject appears confused and dispirited another task can be taken, The investigator can sud- denly become overwhelmingly in- dignant, throw down his pad and pencil and demand the truth forth- with, On the other hand an associate investigator can take ad- vantage of 4 pause, In private, to suggest to the suspect that he can “straighten things out’’ by for- getting all these details and get- ting down to 4 few simple admis- Sions. Alternatively, the detailed questions can continue andthe dis- crepancies can be pointed out in a conglomeration of the historical experience and present events of the blood, sweat and tears of Black people here in racist America, we will continue to wage strug- gle after struggle to whatever cost to continue the Black Pan- ther news Service because, ‘'THE 4iITiAR an assured and determined manner. 8. Control One of the first lessons to be learned by the experienced in- vestigation is the unfortunate ease which he can lose control of the interrogation, As he questions the suspect, unexpected answers are recieved and his strategy is push- ed off its course. Startling emo- tional reactions on the part of the subject may upset him. He may become impatient in the face of obstinacy or anger with the ap- pearance of impertinence. With the tone of the interrogation chang- ed and the sequence of his pre- sentation altered, he may findhim- self caught in a discouraging stale- mate. Although experience willre- medy these defects, initial train- ing according to sound principles will enable him to avoid the pit- falls at the outset. a, Inftal Phase. In the begin- ning of the typical Interrogation the investigator has little needfor control. The subject should be per- mitted to tell his story in his own way without interruption. A few general questions will lay the groundwork, Often the suspect, after he is once launched inhis narrative, will work himself into a confession, At this stage the in- vestigation should restrict himself to assisting the subject when there is an obvious need for a word or phrase, b. Questioning. After the nar- rative phase of the interrogation, planned questions should be put to the subject. The tone of the in- terrogation will now be set by the responses of the subject. Spon- taneous answers which appear to be given without much reflection are particularly valuable and trustworthy, If the subject appears to be cooperating, the investigaror should endeayor to develop in him a pride in his cooperation. ¢c. Emotional Control. If the sub- ject seems reluctant to cooperate, the investigator should make every effort to remain calm. A loss of temper will cut off the small trick- le of information. Anger may swiftly leadto duress, The sus- pect, morever, will sense his own superiority in remaining calm. Deliberate anger as a tactic in interrogation is, of course, a dif- ferent matter, Harassing the sus- pect should ordinarly be avoided since it can result in false state- ments. It is always possible thar the suspect does not have the in- formation, The indifferent type may give the desired answer re- gardiess of its truth merely to be rid of the oppression of the interrogator. Instead of yeilding to feelings of contempt, im- patience, sarcasm, or anger, the interrogator can find relief in putting his efforts into the ex- pression of emotions or senti- ments such as patriotism, mother- hood, childhood, religion, or fidelity to ideas. d. Strategic Interruptions. When the interrogator senses that he {3 loslag control or that his tactics are availing nothing, it may be time to pause and do additional planning or introduce a new tech- nique. The Interrogation room should be equipped with a button and buzzer under the top of the desk, which the investigator can push with his knee or foot. In this way, he can sound the buzzer, pretend it is @ signal for him to leave the room, SUMMARY NEXT WEEK VOICE OF THE PANTHER MUST BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE LAND] > ALL POWER ‘TO THE PEOPLE|.

McGoran stated under cross examination that Mario Martinez Sat on the front steps of the house on Alvarado throughour the inci- dent, he did nothing, Tony Martinez and Danilo Melendez, according to McGoran, wentupstairs to get their ID when asked to do so by Brodnik, and had not come back downstairs by the time the shooting happened. McGoran has had to use Valium, a powerful tranquilizer, tohide his real nature from the jury. Of a prescription of 100 given him on April 13, 1970, he only took five as needed between then and July 6. When he came on the witness stand, he has consumed 66 of the pills since then. Because of this, the defense has not been able to show him as he really is to the jury. The California Evidence Code considers evidence of prior acts of violence by an alleged victim of an assault admissable evidence, judge Mana has restricted the de- fense attorneys in their efforts to go into McGoran's prior record, ruling that they may bring wirt- nesses about this during the de- fense presentation, Several times during cross examination, McGoran was asked the same questions he had been asked in previous hearings. When his answer was different, the at- torney would read the previous transcript, and ask McGoran, ‘why you feel it necessary to launder your testimony’, in the words of Charles Garry, chief defense at- torney. By the endof the cross examination, McGoran had been Picked to pieces by the defense. Only his intake of tranquilizers allowed him to maintain his cool before the jury.

Under examination by the defense, he sta- ted that he had been threatened by two people In the courtroom audience, who had mouthed words ac him, “Il can read lips,’’ he declared, The second eyewitness to the incident, Mrs. Irene Jarzyna, who lived across the street from the Scene of the shooting, completely contradicted McGoran's testi- mony. McGoran said all six of the men were wearing dark cloth- Ing. She identifed a ‘‘short stock boy...about 5°3’? as having been the gunman, McGoran identified Gary Lescallet as having wielded the gun. He is the tallest of the group, McGoran said he was shot at too, Mrs. Jarzyna sald both shots were directed at Brodnik, McGoran Said he had grabbed Gary Les- caller by the lapels, starting a fight that ended in his partner’s death Mrs. Jarzyna said McGoran grabbed Lescallet by the throat and pushed him against the wall Several times, Mrs, Jarzyna herself was caught with inconsistencies in her testi- mony under cross examination by Garry, She said at first she had not been at the police line-up after the six were arrested. She later admitted she had been there. She said she had worn her glasses throughout the line-up. Garry pro- duced an official police photograph showing her at the line-up without her glasses. The same kind of inconsistencies have developed at nearly every point in her testi- mony. The cross examination by the other three attorneys willcon- tinue next week, In further developments, Los Siete De La Raza, the defense organization, has called for a na- tional demonstration in San Fran- cisco on August 19, 1970, to sup- port the brothers while the trial is going on. The demonstration will be held in San Francisco's downtown Civic Center Plaza, and will feature speakers on political prisoners throughout the country.

We are not only fasting because we find it morally and politically necessary but because we are not given enough food for three people. Therefore, we demand that: (1) We, the Connecticut 9, like other unsentenced human beings be treated with the knowledge thar we are innocent until proven guilty regardless of our political beliefs, We have been kept in isolation from the other inmate population (for the good of the institution) since our arrest, This is a denial of our rights under the constitution to freedom of speech and amounts in fact to cruel and unusual punish- ment, (2) When we see our lawyers we demand that all listening, bugging, and snooping be discontinued, that Bwe.P. they be allowed visits necessary for our legal defense and spirir- ual well being. If lackeys and in- formers can receive visitors to further their unfair work we should be allowed that right, (3) The immediate end to search and selzure, We, Rose, Ericka and Peggy have been the victims of unnecessary searches to and from visits, to and from court, Our rooms are searched within a period of every two to three weeks, Our legal papers, letters, so forth, are forever being read, taken, and tampered with, This Is a viola- tion of a fifth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, (4) We demand that our mail be Sent to uS 45 Soon as it be re- ceived, not passed from hand to hand, from Niantic to the Com- missioner of Correction or FBL We are referring to our family and out going mail in general, and the letters Peggy receives from our sister Frances in partic- ular, This is an invasion of privacy, @) We futher demand that we have the right to wear outer and under clothing of our choice, We are made to wear our dresses three inches we cannot wear maxi or mini length clothes and been denied the right to wear black or bright colored underwear. We realize this as and an attempt to psy- above the knee, have ROSE SMITH POLITICAL PRISONER chologically sterilize us. We will no longer yieldto your chauvinistic gestures, (6) That all the male defendants of the New Haven 9 (in Connec- ticut) be brought together in one jail, Lonnie McLucas, Bobby Seale, and George Edwards, These men have been placed in three differ- ent jatls in Connecticut, The lac- keys and the informers are to- gether so we demand thar these brothers be put together in one jail for the purpose of defense and spiritual well being. (7) We demand that we have read- ing materials of our choice, we are still being denied particular books, because we have been told theyare inflammatory. This includes, The Panther, The Black Commu- nity News Service, writings by Huey, Kim Il Sung, Marx, Lenin, Seize the Time by Bobby and writ- ings by Eldridge. Books are being let in that are worse than dime store novels, for instance; Myra Breckenridge, Candi, A Cage for Lovers and so forth. We want writings on Iching, women's Lib- eration. (8) We demand in particular, a Special diet for Peggy Hudgins, a person with rheumatoid arthri- tis should have fresh vegetables, fruits, true meats, not rancid pork and contaminated beef or synthe- tic hamburgers. We will also re- peat that there seems to be only enough food for two people on a starvation diet anyway, so what there is we give to her when it is eatable, } ing in fresh .air.

REPORT ON THE TRIAL OF LONNIE McLUCAS Lonnie’s trial moved into ano- ther week of fascist railroading. On Tuesday, the court session be- gan with the continuation of the cross examining of Warren Kim- bro. Kimbro testified that be had changed his testimony after is bro- ther (a pig from Philadelphia) talked with him and told him that he was afraid of Sams, and did what he did because he would be cleared, Kimbro talked very free- ly about Sams. The defense at- torney tried to find out specific information about the relationship between George Sams,who form- ally was Stokely Carmichael’s body guard, Stokely Carmichael was *Tesponsible for haying vouched for George Sams readmittance into the Party, afrer he had been Kicked out for brutalizing a com- rade, The prosecutioner objected to these questions on the grounds that Sams was not oncrial, but Lon- nle McLucas was. Kimbro’s only Peal significant testimony was that he never heard anyone order Alex Rackley killed, until the moment Sams handed him a gun and told § him to fire. Ar all times, the ex- Pressions that appeared on the jurors faces was that of@onfusion. The Pig Judge Mulvey, continues t© overrule issues which are rele- Vart to Loanie's defense. On Wednesday, Pig Sergeant Vincent DeRosa, of the New Haven Pig (Department, testified on the Witness stand. De Rosa, wanted to adit a statement he and Lonnie had made, But Defense objected to this mockery because (1) Lon- nie did not have « lawyer, (Koss- Koff, the defense attorney, also felated that DeRosa had intimi- dated Lonnie by suggesting that tie stare bad the cuse “all sewed up, 4nd whatever Lonnie did or Said at that time would never mat- ter). Of course the pig denied this. The defense argued that even if DeRosa testified it would be from Bis own recollection, rather than Admitting transcripts and tapes of Statements Lonnie may have made. (2) The whole Issue of wire tapping came up, Therefore any statements Lonnie had made were invalid. To change this, Kosskoff sub- poenaed offices of the local FBI telling them to bring all investi- gating records and wire tapping records connected with this case, into court. The defense conducted its argument that such records 1970 politica’ prisoner New Haven, Conn, Lonnie McLucas, B,P.P. were important to Lonnie's de- fense, The defense subpoensed the federal government -- something they didn’t dig at all. That's why shortly after lunch when the court resumed, the Assistant U.S, Ar- torney, Peter Clark, appeared in court and said,"'l am making a special appearance for the U.S. government to move to squash the F.B.L subpoenae, The pig attorney accused the defense of wanting to open the F,.6,1, files to complete its lootering and rummaging. Kosskoff said that that was a ri- diculous statement and thar it would be totally unfair for the F,B.1. to testify for the state which ir has already done, but refuses to do so for the defense. *'This is an awiul position for the U.S, govern- meat to be in,” he said, Despite all of this the pig judge overruled the defense motion and the state was then allowed to introduce pig DeRosa’s statement. Thursday, court was in recess most of the. day, as the defense tried to get police reports. Koss- koff cross-examined DeRosa who stated that he had been Involved in this case since:: May- 21st, of last year, and has made re- ports since then, Kosskoff asked the judge to order the state to produce those reports, which Markle seemed quite upset about, Markle asked for atwohour recess to study the question further, which was granted by the pig judge. He came back and argued some more, inspite of all of this the pig judge (who tries to deceive the people with his Liberal arti- tude) still seems to feel the de- fense was right, so he ordered the state to bring in all investi- gation materials which DeRosa was connected with, Markle brought in seven large envelopes, Mulvey re- tired to his chamber to examine the materials, he came back 90 minutes later, he ruled that only one of the envelopes was 4 state- ment by DeRosa and the rest of the materials was kept from the defense, There was no way for any- one to tell what was in the other six envelopes. Friday, Kosskoff disputed the assumption made by DeRosa, thar Landon and Rory had given the orders to have Rackley killed, Kosskoff asked DeRosa if it was quite possible that Landon and Rory had told Sams to let Alex go. That Sams had then ordered Rackley shot then told Landon and Rory that he had taken care of the mission and that they had said “right on'', Since no one has tes- tified that they heard anyone give the orders to kill Rackley, this version makes a lot of sense. DeRosa insisted that he was sure that Rory and Landon had given the orders, but couldn't give any proof to back this up. Kosskoff repeated in a question, that Pan- ther policy is to expell inform- ers, not kill them, Also called to testify thar day was an FBI ballistic expert. The defense again objected to the FBI testifying for the state, when Ir refused to testify for the defense, The judge overruled them, the de- fense then sald it was unnecessary to have him testify for such a small matter when they didn’t dispute it anyway. So the jury was told the bullets were fired from the gun, and the FBI agent wasn't put on the stand, He went back to Maine-- back to his vacation at the expense of the oppressed people's money, I¢ is yery clear that every wit- ness that has testified for the pro- sectuion, that includes Loretta Luckes, Warren Kimbro, both have made things very definite about who ordered Alex Rackley killed, How- ever the fascist ‘state continues to try and prove in every way they can, that orders came from Chairman Bobby, to have Alex Rackley killed. On Tuesday, at the beginning of next week's trial, the most pos- sible witness to be called when court opens is Pig George Sams, Fascism continues to run ram- pant in the corridors, three people have been arrested since the trial began and charged with disturbing the peace while they were stand- ing in Hine wating to enter the crowded courtroom. Lonnie's spirits are high and each day he walks into the court- room facing the fascists, as rev- olutionary warrior he is.

(25) In fact, the right to -retain,, counsel of choice can be denied only in extreme circumstances amounting to a virt- ual waiver. (26) (24) Chandler v. Fretag, 348 U.S, 3, 9, 10 (1954; Powell v. Alabama, 287 U.S. 45, 53, 68-69 (1932) Reynolds vy, Chochran, 365 U.S, 525 (1961). (25) In United States v. Mitchell, 354 F.2d 767 (2nd Cir. 1966), de- fendant decided on the day set for trial that he no longer wished to be represented by the lawyer whom he had originally selected and who had represented him for abour a year. The court continued the case five days to give defend- antl opportunity to select substi- tute counsel, but the court of ap- peals reversed on the ground that defendant had not been given enough time. In United States v. Johston, 318 F.2d 288 (6th Cir. 1963), the de- fendant told the court on the day set for mial that he had learned four days before that one of his two attorneys could not be at trial and that this was the attorney he had thought would represent him at tria], The government argued that @ continuance would be dis- ruptive since many witnesses had been subpoenaed, and the court ordered the defendant to trial, represented by only one of his two attorneys. Despite a finding that defendant had not been prejudiced, the court of appeals reversed. In Lee v. United States, 235 F.2d 219 (D.C, Cir. 1956), the defendant had originally retained two at-, torneys. After numerous continu- ances, LINAS INVADE ASIANA INS EFAS IN defendant go to trial with one of the attorneys he had originally se- lected. The court of appeals re- versed on the ground thar defend- ant was entitled to counsel of his choice. See also United States v. Mc- Mann, 386 F.2d 611 (2d Cir. 1967) reversing, where retained counsel was fired and withdrew during trial, on the ground defendant given inadequate time to select new coun- sel of choice), (26) Thus a defendant cannot be allowed to manipulate this right so as endlessly to obstruct justice by reperted demands for a continu- ance claiming that he has not yet obtained counsel or that he has changed his mind as to who he chooses to be defended by, See, e.g., United States v. McMann, supra, n.25 (dictum); United Stares vy. bentvena, 319 F.2d 916, 936- 37 @nd Cir. 1963); Marxuach v, United States, 398 F.2d 548, 551 (ist Cir, 1968) (defendant's insist- ence on particular counsel must be in good faith,) Cases denying a defendant counsel of choice have uniformly relied on such extreme circumstances as grounds for a finding of waiver, See, e.g., United States v, Jones, 369 F.2d 217, 219, 220 (th Cir. 1966) (‘Jones, without excuse bur with fore- warning and knowledge of the necessity to choose, simply failed or refused to do So,"'); United States v. Abbamonte, 348 F.2d 700, 703 @nd Cir, 1965), cert. denied, 382 U,S, 982 (1966) Genial to de- fendant of opportunity to fire at- torney on day of trial and obtain new counsel! of choice upheld on ground that defendant had effect- ively waived his right to counsel where record revealed numerous continuances, delays and previous changes in counsel which “'could only have a dilatory purpose’’); United States v. Rosenberg, 157 F, Supp. 654, 658, 659 (E,D, Pa, 1958), aff'd, 257 F.2d 760 GrdCir, 1958), aff'd, 360 US, 367 (1959) (upholds dental of continuance des- pite defendant's chief trial coun- sel's illness prior to date case called for trial, where defendant represented by another attorney of his choice who hadbeen associated in preparation of trial, and where defendant not apparently pre- judiced; the court found defendant had waived his right to counsel of his choice--''a defendant's con» defendant told the court duct may prevent his reliance on on the day set for trial that he had® this Gixth Amendment) privilege decided he wished to be repre- sented instead by another attorney, but that attorney had discovered he had a conflict of interest neces- sitating his withdrawal, The trial court, noting that prosecution wit- nesses were present, insisted that when all the facts indicate shat he has been unreasonably dilatory in asserting his right to counsel claimed to be his choice as chief trial counsel] af the moment of tial, that counsel acting for him is competent, and thar any failure in such counsel's oppor- tunity for preparation is due tothe fault of the defendant’’); United States v, Follette, 270 F. Supp, 507 (S.D, N,Y, 1967) (after nu- merous delays ut defense request, where defendant had had oppor- tunity to be represented by coun- sel he originally selected or to select counsel, and where a pro- secution wimess had been held in protective custody for six months, trial court appointed member of original lawyer's firm, who had been representing defendant In pre-trial matters); United States vy. Mesarosh, 116 F, Supp. 345 QW,.D, Pa, 1953), (27) See, e.g., McConnell v, Uni- ted States, 375 F.2d 905 Gth Cir. 1967), See also Carnley v, Coch- ran, 369 U.S, 506 (192); Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S, 60 (1942); Johnson v. Zerbest, 304 U,S, 458 (1938) ; cf. McCarthy v, United States, 394 U.S, 459 465-66 (1969), infra, n. 28. (END OF FOOTNOTES) Thus the trial court had a clear obligation to inquire into the facts surrounding Seale’s claim to representation by Garry in order to determine whether Seale had effectively waived his right to counsel of choice, Since this in- quiry was never made, denial of Seale’s demand that he be repre- sented by Garry was clearly erro- neous. Although Garry was clearly Seale's chosen trial attorney, the court denied requests both prior to trial and during trial for a continuance solely on the ground that other attorneys had filed ap- pearances on Seale’s behalf. By refusing even to recognize that ir was Seale’s rights that were at issue, and by denying him a hear- ing on the relevant facts, the trial court erred. In the absence of such a factual inquiry the record cannot show any waiver of Seale’s right to counsel by dilatory tactics or consent to representation by other counsel, (25) (28) McCarthy v. United States, 394 U.S. 459, 465-66 (1969), holds that before a federal court canac- cept a guilty plea it must person- ally inquire of the defendant into the facts relevant to a finding that defendant had voluntarily waived his rights to trial. The Court found such a factual inquiry essential (1) so thar the trial court could determine whether defendant hadin fact waived his right to trial; and (2) so that a complete record of the factors underlying thar deter- mination would exist. (END OF FOOTNOTE) The record not only fails affir- matively to show waiver — it indicates thar Seale was entitled to & continuance so that he could be represented by Garry or some other counsel of his choice and that it was error to force him to trial with his co-defendants’ counsel. Despite the court's refusal to con- duct a factual inquiry ir was clear to the court, well before trial, that Garry would not be able to be at trial on September 24, be- cause of illness; that he would be available if a reasonable continu- ance were granted; and that he was the only lawyer Seale wanted to represent him at trial and the only lawyer Seale trusted, Atrrial, Seale statedrepeatedly, despite the trial court’s attempts to silence him, thar he had never agreed to trial representation by any lawyer other than Garry or consulted with any other lawyer regarding his defense, The court, in denying a contin- uance, relied initially on the fact that three other lawyers, Birn- oaum, Bass and Tigar, had filed appearances on Seale's behalf, But Seale made it clear that he never intended thar these lawyers handle his defense—that at most he had agreed to thelr participation prior to trial, for purposes of service and motions, The crial court in- sisted that in filing appearances the lawyers obligated themselves to full trial representation, While the court never focused on Seale's understanding with these lawyers, it may have felt that if a defend- ant allowed 4 lawyerto act for him in any capacity he effectively con- sented to that lawyer represent- ing him at trial and waived any right to be represented by another lawyer. Such a rule in contrary.to all law and reason and improperly limits a defendant's right torepre- sentation by counsel and choice, This right includes the right to out-of-state counsel (@9) (recog- nized by the district court’s own rules), (30) particularly in civil rights cases or cases involving unpopular causes or defendants, Sanders y, Russell, 401 F.2d 241 @th Cir, 1968), This right to our- of-state counsel obviously depends on reasonable rules regarding representation in pre-trial mar- ters by other lawyers, and reason- able local counsel requirements. G1) (29) United States v, Bergamo, 154 F.2d 31 (rd Cir. 1946) (reversing conviction where court insisted that defendant be represented at trial by attorney selected to serve in limited capacity as local coun- Sel rather than by out-of-state at- torney); United States v, Brad- ford, 238 F.2d 395 (2nd Cir, 1956) @ictum), cert, denied, 352 US, 1002 (1957), G0) Rule 6 () of the General Rules of the Northern District of llinois specifically provides that lawyers not admitred to the dis- trict bar ‘‘may upon motion be permitted to argue or try a par- ticular case in whole or in part,’' Gl) The clear implication of the district court’s own rules is that local counsel can be retained for the limited purposes of filing pa- pers, and accepting service, Gen- eral Rule 6 (a); 7 (a). (END OF FOOTNOTES) In Sanders, supra, the court struck down a district court rule restrict- ing pro hac vice admission, hold- ing that: Any rule, whatever its source, thar unnecessarily restricts a litigant's choice of counsel in civil rights litigation cannot be sustained. (32) (401 F.2d at 246) (82) The court ruled that a trial court’s determination that a cer- tain lawyer’s participation in a given case is unnecessary...simply is not and cannot be a proper basis for exclusion in these cases. The trial court cannot substitute its judgment for that of the liti- gant in the cholce or number of counsel that the Ltigane may feel is required to properly represent his interests. (401 F.2d at 246) (emphasis added) The Sanders court alsofoundrules that local counsel vely partici- pate intrialrepresentation and that every lawyer allowing himself to be Usted as counsel appear in person ‘‘overly broad and thus in- valid as applied to non-fee gen- erating civil rights casés,"’ (401 F.2d at 248 and n, 10) (END OF FOOTNOTE) In denying Seale a continuance at the opening trial, and in sub- sequent disputes regarding Seale's right to representation, the court also relied on the fact that Kunstler had filed an appearance. The record indicates that Seale never agreed to representation at trial by Kunstler and that be had never consulted with Kunstler regarding his defense, Under these circum- stances the mere fact that Kunstler filed an appearance cannot justify denying & continuance, at least in the absence of a factual hear- ing and a find that Seale's claims were In bad faith andhe had agreed to be represented by Kunstler at trial despite Garry's absence, (33) (3) In English v, State, 8 Md, App. 330, 259 A.2d 822 (1969), defendant's retained counsel sent his son to represent defendant on the day of trial, The defendant moved for a continuance which was denied when substitute counsel in- dicated he was prepared to handle the case, On appeal, the convic- tion was reversed, Cases supporting denial of a continuance despite the absence of one of a defendant's lawyers are hable sincé in-all of them the defendant had expressly or im- plicitly agreed to trial] represen- tation by the other attorneys. See, e.g., United States v, Cole, 365 F.2d 57 (7th Cir. 1966); Lias v United States, 51 F.2d 215 (4th Cir, 1931); Franken v. United States, 248 F.2d 789 (4th Cir, 1957); Marxuach y. United States, 398 F.2d 548 (Ist Cir. 1968); Ko- bey v. United States, 208 F.2d 583 (9h Cir. 1953); Gilmore vy. United ‘States, 273 F.2d 79 @.C. Cir, 1959}, Where defendants have been forced to trial with counse] selec- ted for some limited purpose, in the absence of tial counsel of their choice, courts have reversed. See, e.g., Releford vy. United States, 288 F.2d 298 (%h Cir. 1961); Rich- ardson v, State, 288 S,W, 2d 500 (Tex. Ct, Crim, Appeals 1956); Long v. State, 119 Ga, App. 82, 166 S,E, 2d 36S (1969); People vy. Crovedi, 53 Cal. Rptr. 284, 417 P.2d 868 (1966) (conviction reversed where defendant's attor- ney fell ill in midst of trial, and trial court granted two-week con- tinuance but then denied subsequent motion for month's continuance, forcing defendant to trial with ill lawyer's partner). Indeed, courts have reversed even where defendants are repre- sented by counsel’of thelr choice where the lawyer they have selec- ted as lead counsel is absent. See, ¢.g., Chivers v. State, 5 Ga,- App. 654, 63 S.E, 703 (1909): The spirit of...(the constititforial® right to representation by coun— sel) entitles a man charged with crime to the privilege and bene- fit of counsel of his own selec- tion, and this right to selection must also extend to the right to select the counsel who shall lead in the conduct of his case. (63 S.E, at 705) (END OF FOOTNOTE) In insisting that Seale be repre- sented by the same counsel who represented his co-defendants, the trial court also violated Seale's right to a lawyer with undivided loyalties, contrary to Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S, 60 (1942). There the Court reversed, holding that the appointment of one defend- ant’s attorney to represent his co- defendant, where the latter ob- jected and where there was 4 pos- sible conflict of interest, (34) was in violation of the Sixth Amend- ment, The court further held thar there was a presumption against waiver of the right to represen- tation by separate counsel andthat the trial court therefore had a duty to inquire into the facts. (5) In conclliston it is clear that the court etred inrefusing to grant even a single continuance so that defendant could be represented by his chosen counsel or, at least, so that he could be allowed to select new counsel. (36) G4) Seale maintained throughout that one of the reasons he wanted Garry was because of the perse- cution to which Black Panther Party members had been subject, and their resulting distrust of the entire judicial system including most lawyers. As the only Black among the defendants, and having specifically _ objected to being 3a prong A by his co-defendants’ awyers, Seale at least had a; to separate pacits hey @S) See also United States v.

CLARK This morning, July 30, 1970, Jotin L. Clark, Defense Captain of Baltimore Chapter of the Black Panther Party, was kidnapped away from the people he loves and the people he has vowed to serve. The kidnapping was done by a bailbondsman from California and carried out with the pre-planned help of the gestapo pig police of Baltimore City. The kidnapping of John Clark took place inside the halls of in- justice of the Baltimore City Cri- minal Court. John and several other Panthers had just received a@ postponement in a case that stemmed from the April 30th ar- rest of the Panthers in Balti- more. While leaving the court- room, John was surrounded by Baltimore City pigs who allowed this supposedly ballbondsman to arrest him, When asked why he was being arrested, the pigs rein- forced their protection around the bailbondsman. If a man is charged with acrime in one state and he is not in that state at the time he is charged, he is supposedly constitutionally guaranteed the right of an extra- dition hearing to see if he must return to the state where he ts accused, This was not done In the ay 8 Ra JOHN CLARK case, The bailbondsman traveled from California and told the Balti- more City Pigs he wanted to take John back to California and with their belp he is doing this at this very moment. This is reminiscent of the fugi- tive slave catcher act of the 1840's BRUCE RICHARDS and 'S0’s. It is clear to Black people by this blatant example that under this constitution John Clark has been kidnapped and has hed his human right to life, Uberty and the pur- sult of happiness trampled on, This attempt to destroy the lead- © ership of the Black Panther Party is seen not just as an attack on one Black person but as a well calculated move against the entire Uberation movement and the just struggle of Black people in their attempt to be free, In accordance with this we charge Baltimore City and the State of Maryland of conspiracy in the kidnapping of John L, Clark and be advised that we the people will begin to prosecute inthe court and by any means necessary, these pigs who have alded and’ abetted the unlawful kidnapping of our com- rade John Leonard Clark, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE BLACK PANTHER PARTY Baltimore Chapter VICTIMIZED BY FASCIST CONSPIRACY Fy nears for another The time courtroom drama to be enacted by the fascists and thelr tools, personified in the D,A,, jury, and the judge, as we approach the “trial’’ of our revolutionary bro- ther, Bruce Richards, Bruce, in- carcerated in the pig pen of New County since October of 1969 under a new method of preventative de- tention manifested in the enact- ment of a parole hold, goes to trial Wednesday, August 12, 1970. Bruce, after being shot and kid- napped off the streets of L.A, by the fascist L.A. P.D., was charged, (badge #1181) and his nigger ac- complice McNeffer (badge #7048) zoomed around corners on two wheels and Mrs. Justice almost turned over, stretcher and all? Turned over, stretcher and all! We arrived at St, Luke's Hos- pital, 8th and Girard Ave. (re- markably in one plece) at 8:15 p.m. but Evelyn Justice didn't see a doctor for almost an hour and then the ‘'genius’’ (they wouldn't give me his name for fear of ex- posing him) said he'd need an x-ray, Another agaonizing hour of waiting in pain until they ‘‘found Someone to take her to the x-ray room’’, During all this time, the sister received no medication for pain or for the many bruises she received inthe accident. laskedfor a bedpan for the sister bur there was no one there to deal with thar | prove with ‘‘attacking’’ members of the L.A, P.D, As the pigs story goes... Bruce and Walter ‘Toure’ Pope (murdered by the pigs at thattime), sneaked up on them as they were on a “‘stake-out" for robbers at the local Jack-in-the-Box, locared on Stanford and Manchester, The pigs go on to say Bruce and Toure Started firing on them and only in defense of their lives did they return fire, killing Toure and wounding Bruce. This is the basic premise for what will undoubtedly to be another fascist frame-up. The brothers, Toure and Bruce, before the night of October 18, were constantly harassed by mem- bers of L.A,P,D, and the well- known metro squad, The pigs made it their primary objective to stop them time and time again on any pretense to harass, intimidate, and even threaten their very lives, The brothers received this type of treatment, not because the pigs were in fear of their lives, but because of the political work Bruce and Toure were doing everyday as they functioned in the community and in the Black Panther Party's various programs to serve the people. Their exceptional success in organizing the people (what we call their practice) is the real reason Bruce and Toure were the victims of the attack on their lives, Their dedication to the struggle grew out of a desire to ‘‘cure"’ or at least attempt in some way to do something about the society we exist in. Both brothers com- one of the many contradictions existing in this “great’’ country, It's one thing to be sick, but to be sick, poor and Black is ano- ther story in which all the charac- ters play a different role. We finally found out that there were no fractured (broken) bones and that the sister was to be dis- charged with a prescription, Be- fore leaving, I tried to find out the name of the doctor who had examined Mrs, Justice in case any complications developed, but the receptionist at the ‘'Information’’ window told me tha she didn’tknow his name and didn't have time to find out! My conclusion its that the Emergency or Accident Ward of St. Luke's Hospital is basically non-functional to the people (Black) in the community--the hosnitay is staffed with “people'’ who don't ing out of Tracy, in spring of '69, had first-hand knowledge of the mistreatment and injustices per- petrated on the masses of Black people by the pigsin power, They had seen dally the tools of the fas- cist machine working overtime to dehumanize the people imprisoned in the pig pens across the country. Ac the same time out onthe streets the same general dehumanizing process was evident as the misery and subhuman conditions showed its ugly face on the scene. This was their struggle, the alleviation of the suffering our people have endured since time began, It wasn't as the egotistical maniacs like to Say, their attempts to ‘attack and kill police’, Bruce is being tried, not for what actually happened onthenight of October 18, but for attempting to carve a bit of Freedom and Lib- eration out of this decadent society for him and his people, The pigs, masquerading as ‘‘victims of an unprovoked attack”’, are once again attempting, by any means neces- sary, to rip off another strong brother dedicated to the struggle. It's the duty of the people to check out what's really happening and become determined to enact a po- litical consequence for every bro- ther the pigs attempt to destroy... on the streets or in the fascist courtrooms...

ON BEHALF OF THE GULY 23, 1970) Ladies and Gentlemen, It is more and more obvious that the Nixon Administration ob- Stinately refuses to give up its Policy of aggression in Viet Nam, implementing neo-colonialism in South Viet Nam and perpetuating the division of Viet Nam, During the past 18 months since it took office, the Nixon Administration has all along sought a military victory on the battlefield so as to gain a “position of strength’ in negotiations and to force the Viet- namese people to accept at the conference table a political set- tlement according to U.S, terms. The U.S, military adventure in Cambodia aimed at gaining a mill- tary victory and a position of Strength has led the United States to heavy setbacks in Ull fields and to an even weaker position, How- ever, instead of drawing a lesson from it, the Nixon Administration has stubbornly continued its war- Ike policy and deceived public opinion even more perfidiously. In South Viet Nam, a great many of U.S, and Saigon puppet troops are being deployed and concen- trated in a number of areas, pre- paring for sweep operations against liberated areas, One of those operations is being carried out in the area south of Da Nang with the participation of 6,500U,S, marines and puppet troops. U.S, bombings, especially those by B 52's, have been fiercely in- creased, The so-called pacifica- ton program, which is being Stepped up, is in fact a campaign of increased terror andmassacres against the rural population, And Nguyen Van Thieu himself is call- ing for downright repression against the movement of urban pop- ulation demanding peace, demo- cracy, better living conditions, etc, Concerning Laos, as has been denounced by Mr. Phournl Vong- vichit, Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Lao Pa- triotic Front, in his recent letter to the Co-Chairmen of the 1962 Geneva Conference on Laos, the United States and its henchmen in ‘Vientiane, Bangkok and Saigon are conducting ‘‘co-ordinated military operations’’ in Laos; The United States has stepped up its fierce bombardments against Uberated areas under the contro! of the Lao patriotic forces; what is partic- warly serious, on June 12, 13 and 14, U.S, aircraft leveled down the entire city of Saravane, killing and wounding hundreds of civilians. Thirteen Thal battalions have been sent to Sam Thong-Long Cheng, Savannakhet and Boloven high pla- eal to directly take part in the war against the Lao people, Many commando groups of the South Viet NGUYEN MINH VY, DELEGATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM, AT THE 76th PLENARY SESSION OF THE PARIS CONFERENCE ON VIETNAM Nam puppet army have been sent to Southern Laos. Thai artillery from the other side of the Mekong river have violently shelled the Positions of the Lao patriotic for- ces , Meanwhile in South Viet Nam, many units of U.S, and South Vier Nam puppet troops are being con- centrated in the border area near Saravane, ready to attack Laos across the border. Concerning Cambodia, the Nixon Administration has onthe one hand increased its military aid to the Don Nol-Sirik Matak clique, and on the other has stepped up the bombardments by U,S, aircraft and used Saigon puppet troops and Thal mercenaries to continue its war of aggression in Cambodia, Thal air force has also been used to attack the territory of Cambodia, Such is the reality on the battle- field, In the meantime, at the con- ference table, the Nixon Admin- istration has shown its utmost in- transigence, insisting on its arro- gant and unrealistic demands, flat- ly rejecting the sensible and reasonable proposals of the Gov- ernment of the Democratic Repub- lic of Viet Nam and of the Pro- visional revolutionary Govern- ment of the Republic of South Vier Nam, In his June 30 speech, July 1 televised interview, and lately at his July 20th news conference, President Nixon himself again stressed on the US, unreasonable demand of ‘‘mutual withdrawal", i.e, demanding thatthe Vietnamese people pay a ransom for the ces- sation of U.S, aggression. He also stubbornly opposed the formation of a privisional coalition govern- ment that will organize free gen- eral elections in South Viet Nam; he obstinately maintained the dic- tatorlal, warlike and corrupt Thieu - Ky -Khiem administration set up by the United States as an instrument for U.S, neo-colon- falist aggression, an administra- tion which the South Vier Nam peo- ple are resolutely demanding to overthrow. Obviously, not only has the war been prolonged in South Viet Nam, it is also extended to the whole of Indochina, the Paris Confer- ence on Viet Nam after 75 ses- sions still remains in an impasse, all that situation is caused by the utterly obstinate attitude of the Nixon Administration. However, at this conference, the U.S. delegate has dared to pre- tend that the United Stares has goodwill and is willing to negotiate seriously. And at the last session, he even put questions trying to put the blame for blocking the con- ference on the Democratic Repub- lic of Viet Nam and the Republic of South Viet Nam. cont, on next page Savage Repression against Black Panther Party of U.S.A. Must Be Stopped Immediately The US. imperialists have kept up the savaye repression against the Black Panther Party of the US.A. and been hatching ever more vicious plots to stamp out the just struggle of the American Negroes, despite of the strong protest and denunciation on the part of broad sections of the American people including the A- merican Negroes and the progres- sive people of the whole world. * The rascals orrested and im- prisoned Bobby Seale, Chairman of the Black Panther Party of the U.S.A, and its many other leaders and hundreds of ifs members last August. Since then the U.S. imperialists have manoeuvr- Ing to punish them through a “trial,” Spare! subjecting them to all kinds of brutal torture, and have further intensified their Suppression against the Party with every passing day. This represents a shameless fas- cist barbarity against the 30 mil- lion American Negroes, and anun- bearable, nefarious challenge to the progressive forces of the United States and the revolutionary peo- ple the world over. The Korean people scathingly denounce the U.S; imperialivts for such fascist repression and strong- ly demand that the U.S. imperial- ists immediately stop all repressive moves and releasc at once the leaders and members of the Party they had illegally arrested and put behind bars. Through their diabolical suppres- sion against the leaders of the Black Panther Party and the Party itself the Nixon clique pursue an extremely malicious aim to comple- tely wreck and dissolve the Black Panther Party, a genuine lawful organisation of the Negroes, and to put down their just struggle. The great Leader of revolution Comrade Kim U Sung taught: “Where there is oppression, there always Is resistance. It is Inevita- ble that the oppressed peoples should fight for their e:mancipa- tion.” (Kim fl Sung, Selected Works, Vol. IV, p. 521.) The daily intensifving struggle of the Negroes is a just struggle for their vital rights, democritic freedoms, social equality and class and racial emancipation and a- gainst the U.S, imperialists’ fascist terror rule, wicked racist policy and ruthless exploitation and op- Pression by American monopoly capital, The Black Panther — Party thoroughly championing the in- teresis of the American Negroes. since its inception, has actively fought for the class and racial emancipation of Anicrican Negroes, safeguarding thelr democratic rights and vital demands. Moreav- er, te Party las struggled a: gainst the U.S, imperialists’ war of aggression in Vietnam and the Nixon clique’s policy of aggression and war, while giving active sup- port to the peoples of other coun- tries in their struggle for freedom and liberation, democracy and so- -clal progress, Trenchantly flaying the U.S, imperialists for their oc- cupation of South Korea and plots for a new war; the Party extends full support and solidarity to the just struggle of the Korean people for unifying their fatherland in- dependently after driving the U.S, imperialists out of South Korea. The U.S. imperialists’ fascist re- pression against the leaders of the Black Panther Party of the U.S.A. and the Party itself is a product of their vicious racist policy, and it ts a totally unlawful, brigandish and criminal barbarity. The more outrageous acts the U.S. imperialists commit, the deeper are they sinking into a mire of difficulties, and the strug- gle of the Black Panther Party, the ‘egroes and the progressive A- merican ple age nst the rascals is mounting higher and higher. The U.S, imperialists can neither stamp out the just struggle of the American Negroes for the right to existence, democracy, freedom and liberation nor can they break the revolutionary fighting will of the leaders and members of the Black Panther Party, no matter what fascist raid, suppression, terrorism, murderous trinl and savage mas- Sacre they may perpetrate.

Is the United States willing or not fo put an end to its schemes of intervention and aggression a- gainst the Kingdom of Laos and the Kingdom of Cambodia turning these two countries into US, new- type colonies and military bases-- springboards to attack South Viet Nam? Is the United States willing or not to give up its illusion of gain- ing military victory and its policy of negotiating from strength, and to stop playing the farce of sham negotiation, sham goodwill, and genuinely to engage in serious negotiations at the Paris Confer- ence on Viet Nam? Only when the United States is willing and sincere in doing so, can there be the possibility of a peaceful settlement of the Viet Nam problem, can the Paris Con- ference get out of its dead center, and can the war In South Viet Nam and In Indochina be ended? The 10-Point Overall Solution of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Viet Nam, of which the Gov- ernment of the Democratic Repub- lic of Viet Nam has already ex- pressed its entire approval and full support, is a correct basis for that political settlement. Mr. Nixon and some members of his administration have often talked about where the key to peace lies, One must Say that fr is now as has always been in the past in the hands of the United States, (UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION) continued from last page MESSAGE FROM ANTI-IMPERIALIST DELEGATION rors of an aggressive war which is very similar to the one fought 20 years .ago in Korea, k-is crucial to re-examine that missing period of our history in order to under- stand the events that will surely unfold in Korea in the coming months. The Korean people have vowed to free their fatherland from U.S. imperialism and unite the country. We have come to understand that Black people in the United States are treated as an internal colony, and are subject to the same geno- cidal aggression by U.S, imperal- ism as are the peoples of Asia. The Pentagon has a global stra- tegy for dealing with Liberation struggles whether they be inside or outside the U.S, This strategy will increasingly apply to any anti- UNITED GENOCIDE Our commitment to total libera- tion expands to degrees where only a vengence long awaited for will ever suffice to loosen our deter- mination to put a stranglehold on the life line of this country and its lackeys. Our rage is inflamed to degrees where tears of mourning cannot extinguish them when we realize that our brothers and sis- ters on the island of Culebras, off the coast of Puerto Rico, are being subjected to obvious genocide by the Marines of the U.S, The Island is being used for tar- get purposes by the armed forces of the U.S, and 40 other nations without regard for the welfare of the people that still livethere . As a colonial power, the U.S, has taken it upon herself to extend an invitation to the world ro further subject our people in Culebras to a life of approaching termination. The main source of life supply for the people of the island, has been for many years, the availa- bility of fish.

We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to deter- mine our destiny 2. We want full employment for our people. Webelieve that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income, We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and em- b ploy all of its people and give a high standard of living 3. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community. We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand that we make, 4. We want decent housing. fit for shelter of human beings. We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people. 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society. We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl- edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance.to relate to anything else. 6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. | N | ‘ | | N N We believe that Black people, should not be forced to fight in the mifi- | tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We N will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black N people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary. ‘ | | N | N N) | \ | 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people. We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense. 8. We ,want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails. We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial. 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, en- vironmental, hiStorical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning nian’ of the black community. 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and naturg's God entitle them, a * + decent respect to the opinions’of mankind uires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the peso sy Vanes We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; 4 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 thelr — Just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the , to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in'such to them shall scem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pni- dence, indeed. will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But. when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pur- suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism, it ts their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern- ment, and to provide new guards for their future security. * —_ 5 6 : ee eee { —% a THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1970 PAGE 22 cs Au NEW HAVEN CONN. “ames a JOHN CHEATHAM While in the BPP, he worked in Boston and New Haven, While in New Haven he was a Field Lt.

Ronald did do a good job with the Breakfast Pro- gram, however, he couldn't stand to see Bernedette corrected, so he himself decided to cop an at- titude, When Bernadette was told that she had to deport from the Black Panther Party, Ronald be- gan to lle saying that no one in the Party could get along with him, Whenever there was a contra- diction between him and someone else and the matter was settled with both party agreeing to the settiement, Ronald stated that things may have been settled with the Party but not with him, how- ever, he never related this unti! Bernadette was discharged from the Party. Not only did Ronald walk out on the Party, but he walked out on the Free Breakfast Program. I told him if he left he would be purged for life.

They have about exhausted pos- sible remedies in the state courts, Twenty-seven of them have been jailed this month and 14 are still in jail under bonds ranging up to $40,000. Charges are aggravated assault on property and in some cases, battery, The victims have been placed in jails in Homer, Arcadia, Min- den, Farmerville, Bolger City and Rustin, Metal sheets have been placed over the doors and win- dows of the Homer jail, so that very little air enters. The build- ing is so old that it was con- demned some time ago. Last month a group of Whites from Minden attacked some Black people, shooting David Mozeke so badly thar he lost the use of a leg. Police accused Walker Har- ris, a Black youth, of stealing a gun from the car from which the shot was fired. Soon after this incident, the White country club and several old and unoccupied buildings in Homer burned down, Authorities claim these buildings were set nessmen from whom we were try- ing to solicit funds and materials for our Free Lunch for Children Program, We cannot allow agitators Like this within the ranks of the N.C.C.F, who will not adhere to or accept decisions and discipline. The struggle here in Chicago is intensifying and the people are moving to a higher level of polit- ical awareness, Anything or any- one who gets In the way of the Rocks and bottles are useless against shotguns and (00)buckshot and 38 specials. We must relate to the armed struggle! We mist organize self defense groups for herein lies our only hope and the hope of the op- pressed people of the world. We must begin to serve the needs of our people. We must educate our people to the correct method of resisting the power of the pigs of the ruling class, We are advo- cates of the abolition of war, wedo not want war but war can only be abolished through war; there- fore in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to pick up the gun. In order to have unity we must have orginazation, Orginization is the thing that will bring unity, and a united armed people are the true bastion of steel. , After the ‘‘riots’’ were over we are as powerless as we were before we still suffer under the same in- human conditions plus we suffered the most injuries, We must reverse this course,wemustarmfor self- defense and to serve the needs of our people so that when these fas- cist pigs come Into our communi- tles to shoot and kill our children we will be able to protect our homes and our lives with shotguns and buckshot, Revolution is the only solution and in a revolution one wins or dies!
