ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

What we are basically going to be talking about today is what the pig is doing to the Panthers all around the country. We are going to have to talk about what we are going to have to do about the repression that they are putting on the Black Panther Party. We are not worried about getting off it\u2014let\u2019s try to deal with it.<\/p>\n

We got to talk first of all about the main man. The main man in the Black Panther Party, the main man in the struggle today\u2014in the United States, in Chicago, in Cuba and anywhere else\u2014the main man in the liberation struggle is our Minister of Defense, and yours too, Huey P. Newton. He\u2019s the main man because the head of the imperialist octopus lies right in this country and whoever is dealing with the head of the octopus in this country is the main man. He\u2019s in jail now. We must tell the world that Huey P. Newton was tried by the pigs and they found him guilty. He was tried by the people, who found him not guilty, and we say let him go, let him free, because we find him not guilty. This is our relentless demand. We will not let up one day, we will not give up the struggle to liberate our Minister of Defense, Huey P. Newton and we will continue to exert pressure on the power structure and constantly bombard them with the people\u2019s demand that Huey P. Newton be set free.<\/p>\n

It was Huey P. Newton who taught us how the people learn. You learn by participation. When Huey P. Newton started out what did he do? He got a gun and he got Bobby and Bobby got a gun. They had a problem in the community because people was being run over\u2014kids were being run over\u2014at a certain intersection.(1)<\/a><\/sup> What did the people do? The people went down to the government to redress their grievances and the government told them to go to hell : \u201cWe are not going to put no stoplights down there UNTIL WE SEE FIT.\u201d What did Huey P. Newton do? Did he go out and tell the people about the laws and write letters and try to propagandize \u2019em all the time? NO! Some of that\u2019s good, but the masses of the people don\u2019t read\u2014that\u2019s what I heard Huey say\u2014they learn through observation and participation. Did he just say this? NO! So what did he do? He got him a shotgun, he got Bobby and he got him a hammer and went down to the corner. He gave Bobby the shotgun and told him if any pig motherfuckers come by blow his mother fuckin brains out. What did he do? He went to the comer and nailed up a stop sign. No more accidents, no more trouble. And then he went back\u2014another situation like that. What\u2019d the people do? They looked at it, they observed; they didn\u2019t get a chance to participate in it. Next time what\u2019d they do? Same kind of problem came up. The PEOPLE got THEIR shotguns, got THEIR nine milimeters, got THEIR hammers. How\u2019d they learn? They learned by observation and participation. They learned one thing. When there is a fire you gather round the fire. Huey got a shotgun and everybody gathered round him and Bobby. They saw what was going on and they had a chance to participate in it. As the vanguard leader he taught the people about the power structure; he led the people down the correct road of revolution. What are we doing?<\/p>\n

Breakfast for Children<\/h3>\n

Our Breakfast for Children program is feeding a lot of children and the people understand our Breakfast for Children program. We sayin\u2019 something like this\u2014we saying that theory\u2019s cool, but theory with no practice ain\u2019t shit. You got to have both of them\u2014the two go together. We have a theory about feeding kids free. What\u2019d we do? We put it into practice. That\u2019s how people learn. A lot of people don\u2019t know how serious the thing is. They think the children we feed ain\u2019t really hungry. I don\u2019t know five year old kids that can act well, but I know that if they not hungry we sure got some actors. We got five year old actors that could take the academy award. Last week they had a whole week dedicated to the hungry in Chicago. Talking \u2019bout the starvation rate here that went up 15%. Over here where everybody should be eating. Why? Because of capitalism.<\/p>\n

What are we doing? The Breakfast for Children program. We are running it in a socialistic manner. People came and took our program, saw it in a socialistic fashion not even knowing it was socialism. People are gonna take our program and tell us to go on to a higher level. They gonna take that program and work it in a socialistic manner. What\u2019d the pig say? He say, \u201cNigger\u2014you like communism?\u201d \u201cNo sir, I\u2019m scared of it.\u201d \u201cYou like socialism?\u201d \u201cNo Sir, I\u2019m scared of it.\u201d \u201cYou like the breakfast for children program?\u201d \u201cYes sir, I\u2019d die for it\u201d. Pig said, \u201cNigger, that program is a socialistic program.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t give a fuck if it\u2019s Communism. You put your hands on that program motherfucker and I\u2019ll blow your motherfucking brains out.\u201c And he knew it. We been educating him, not by reading matter, but through observation and participation. By letting him come m and work our program. Not theory and theory alone, but theory and practice. The two go together. We not only thought about the Marxist-Leninist theory\u2014we put it into practice. This 1s what the Black Panther Party is about.<\/p>\n

Subversives<\/h3>\n

Some people talk a lot about communism, but the people can\u2019t understand and progress to the stage of communism right away or because of abstract arguments. They say you got to crawl before you can walk. And the Black Panther Party, as the vanguard party, thought that the Breakfast for Children Program was the best technique of crawling that any vanguard party could follow. And we got a whole lot of folks that\u2019s going to be walking. And then a whole lot of folks that\u2019s gonna be running. And when you got that, what you got? You got a whole lot of PIGS that\u2019s gonna be running. That\u2019s what our program\u2019s about.<\/p>\n

The Black Panther Party is about the complete revolution. We not gonna go out there and half do a thing. And you can let the pigs know it. They come here and hide\u2014they so uncomfortable they sitting on a taperecorder, they got their gun in their hair\u2014they got to hide all this shit and they come here and do all this weird action. All they got to do is come up to 2350 West Madison any day of the week and anybody up there\u2019ll let them know, let the motherfucker know: Yes, we subversive. Yes, we subversive with the bullshit we are confronted with today. Just as subversive as anybody can be subversive. And we think them motherfuckers is the criminals. They the ones always hiding. We the ones up in front. We\u2019re out in the open, these motherfuckers should start wearing uniforms. They want to know if the Panthers are goin\u2019 underground\u2014these motherfuckers IS underground. You can\u2019t find \u2019em. People calls the pigs but nobody knows where they at. They\u2019re out chasing us. They hiding\u2014can\u2019t nobody even see \u2019em.<\/p>\n

When people got a problem they come to the Black Panther Party for help and that\u2019s good. Because, like Mao says, we are supposed to be ridden by the people and Huey says we\u2019re going to be ridden down the path of social revolution and that\u2019s for the people. The people ought to know that the Black Panther Party is one thousand percent for the People. They write a lot of articles, you know, niggers\u2019ll run up to you in a minute\u2014when I say niggers I mean white niggers and black niggers alike\u2014niggers\u2019ll run up to you and talk that shit about, Man, I read in the Tribune today. Well you say, Man, fuck it right there. If you didn\u2019t read it in the BLACK PANTHER paper, in the MOVEMENT\u2014then you ain\u2019t read shit.<\/p>\n

Mickey White<\/h3>\n

We in the Black Panther Party have another brother I want to take some time to rap about. This brother is constantly on our mind. This brother\u2019s name is Michael White\u2014Mickey White. This brother is beautiful. He\u2019s being held now in jail for one hundred thousand dollars bail. Some of you who listen to the radio might have heard about brothers in the state chapter, our field secretary of Defense Captain, brother Nathaniel Junior and Brother Merrill Harvey being laid up on some phoney gun charge. We don\u2019t say the Panthers don\u2019t want guns, but we already got guns and we don\u2019t have to go and try and steal or connive to buy any guns from anybody. What they are trying to do is to squash out the Black Panther Party\u2014they\u2019re trying to squash out the leadership. Trying to squash out Bobby Rush, the Deputy Minister of Defense. Trying to squash out Chaka and Che, the Deputy Minister of Education.<\/p>\n

Mickey White was in that bullshit with Nathaniel Junior and Merrill Harvey. Last week when they went to court even the judge in court said, you all gonna get a fair trial whether you deserve it or not. These are the types of actions we are confronted with. Mickey White is in solitary confinement and doesn\u2019t get to come out of his cell for anything at any time. And he might be in that cell for the rest of his life. His bond is $100,000. That\u2019s $10,000 cash.<\/p>\n

Mickey White is a proven revolutionary. He\u2019s not nobody we THINK is going to be a revolutionary. He\u2019s not nobody we trying to make a revolutionary. He\u2019s a proven revolutionary. All of you have to understand that Mickey White is a Panther in ideology, he\u2019s a Panther in word and he\u2019s a Panther in deed. He\u2019s a Panther that understands it\u2019s a class struggle\u2014not a race question. You have to understand the pressures the Black Panther Party goes through saying this. You can see the pressures the Black Panther Party goes through by making a coalition with whites.<\/p>\n

When the Black Panther Party stood up and said we not going to fight racism with racism US said \u201cNO, we can\u2019t do that because it\u2019s a race question and if you make it a class question then the revolution might come sooner. We in US ain\u2019t prepared for no revolution because we think that power grows from the sleeve of a Dashiki.\u201d They are armed with rhetoric and rhetoric alone. And we found that when you\u2019re armed with rhetoric and rhetoric alone a lot of times you get yourself hurt. Eldridge Cleaver told them, even though you say you fight fire with fire best, we think you fight fire with water. You can do either one, but we choose to fight with water. He said, we\u2019re not going to fight racism with racism, we\u2019re going to fight racism with solidarity. Even though you think you ought to fight capitalism with black capitalism, we\u2019re going to fight capitalism with socialism.<\/p>\n

We got a whole lot of people being busted and you don\u2019t even know about all these people. There\u2019s one here you definitely have to know about and that\u2019s our Deputy Minister of Defense\u2014Bobby Rush. Our Deputy Minister Bobby Rush was busted on some bullshit with a gun thing. He\u2019s got three gun charges. He\u2019s been convicted of one with a six month lead. He\u2019s out on appeal now. I know a lot of you people say, well goddamn, you got a Mickey White defense fund, an Eldridge Cleaver defense fund, a Merrill Harvey defense fund, a Nathaniel Junior defense fund, a Huey Newton defense fund, a Fred Hampton, Jule, Che, and Chaka defense fund\u2014and I just can\u2019t keep up with all these defense funds. But since we are the vanguard party we try to do things right, so we got one defense fund so you don\u2019t get mixed up on what name to send it to. We\u2019ll decide who it goes to. You can just send it to Political Defense Fund, 2350 West Madison. If you want to send something to Breakfast for Children, you can send it to 2350 West Madison also, and you can earmark that money to go to the Breakfast for Children program.<\/p>\n

We got Mickey on our mind tonight\u2014and everybody knows we got Huey P. Newton on our mind tonight. We got every political prisoner in jail on our mind tonight. Eldridge Cleaver\u2014all of these people either dead, or in exile or in jail. A lot of people under\u00ad standing this will lose real faith in the vanguard by not understanding what we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n

A lot of these people will go up to you in a minute and say, \u201cWhy all these people being taken, why haven\u2019t they shot it out with some pigs.\u201d Well, what do we say? If you kill a few, you get a little satisfaction. But when you can kill them ALL you get complete satisfaction. That\u2019s why we haven\u2019t moved. We have to organize the people. We have to educate the people. We have to arm the people. We have to teach them about revolutionary political power. And when they understand all that we won\u2019t be killing no few and getting no little satisfaction, we\u2019ll be killing \u2019em all and getting complete satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Go with the People<\/h3>\n

So what should we do if we\u2019re the vanguard? What is it right to do? Is it right for the leadership of that struggle to go faster than the followers of that struggle can go? NO! We\u2019re not going to be dealing in commandism, we\u2019re not going to be dealing in no tailism. We say that just as fast as the people can possibly go, that\u2019s just as fast as we can take it.<\/p>\n

While we take it we must be sure that we are not missing the people in the valley. In the valley we know that we can learn to understand the life of the people. We know that with all the bullshit out there, you can come to consider yourself on the mountain top. I may even consider myself one day on the mountaintop. I may have already. But I know that in the valley there are people like Benny and there are people like me, people like Mickey White and people like Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. And that below the valley are people like Bobby Hutton, people like Eldridge Cleaver. We know that going into the valley is a dangerous thing. We know that when you go out to the valley you got to make a commitment.<\/p>\n

A lot of people think the revolution is bullshit, but it\u2019s not. A lot of us think that when you get in the revolution you can talk your way out of things, but that\u2019s not true. Ask Bobby Hutton, ask Huey Newton, ask Eldridge Cleaver, Mickey White and Dennis Mora. Ask these people whether it\u2019s a game. If you get yourself involved in a revolutionary struggle then you\u2019ve got to be serious. You got to know what you\u2019re doing. You got to already have practiced some type of theory. That\u2019s the reason we ask people to follow the leadership of the vanguard party. Because we all theorizing and we all practicing. We make mistakes, but we\u2019re always correcting them and we\u2019re always getting better.<\/p>\n

We used to run around yellin \u2019bout Panther Power\u2014the Panthers run it. We admit we made mistakes. Our ten point program is in the midst of being changed right now, because we used the word \u201cwhite\u201d when we should have used the word \u201ccapitalist\u201d. We\u2019re the first to admit our mistakes. We no longer say Panther Power because we don\u2019t believe the Panthers should have all the power. We are not for the dictatorship of the Panthers. We are not for the dictatorship of Black people. We are for the dictatorship of the people.<\/p>\n

The difference between the people and the vanguard is very important. You got to understand that the people follow the vanguard. You got to understand that the Black Panther Party IS the vanguard. If you are about going to the people you got to understand that the vanguard leads the people. After the social revolution, the vanguard party, through our educational programs\u2014and that program is overwhelming\u2014the people are educated to the point that they can run things themselves. That\u2019s what you call educating the people, organizing the people, arming the people and bringing them revolutionary political power. That means people\u2019s power. That means the people\u2019s revolution. And if you\u2019re not about being involved in a people\u2019s revolution then you got to do something. You got to support the people\u2019s revolution.<\/p>\n

Complete Satisfaction<\/h3>\n

The Black Panther Party is the vanguard party. You better get on the Black Panther Party. If you can\u2019t get on, goddamit you better get behind. If you can\u2019t get behind goddamit, you better get behind somebody else so you\u2019ll at least be able to follow indirectly, motherfucker. We ain\u2019t asking you to go out and ask no pig to leave us alone. We know that the pigs fuck with us cause they know we\u2019re doing something.<\/p>\n

Cause a lot of dudes walk around and write articles about it. I know some revolutionary groups say these niggers are runnin around saying these things\u2014the PL(2)<\/a><\/sup> motherfuckers talking that bullshit, couldn\u2019t even find things to criticize. They was so far in the ground. What was they doing? Organizing groundhogs, educating groundhogs, arming groundhogs and teaching groundhogs revolutionary political power.<\/p>\n

I say that we\u2019re the first group to come above ground where the people can follow you and see you. And if you make a mistake it\u2019s better than not even being at all. When I made that mistake I made it for the people, and I correct it for the people. You don\u2019t hear there was a raid on PL\u2019s office last night. You ain\u2019t never heard that. When you hear of PL busted in New York, PL\u2019s leader in jail with no bars, PL leader run out of the country, PL leader shot 18 times while he was running with his back turned and hands tied up, PL leader gets breakfast for children for 1800 people a week. You ever hear it? Ya never heard it. I want to hear it. If you do hear it, it\u2019ll be because of the Black Panther lead. I\u2019m not putting all these things out and saying PL doesn\u2019t know \u2019em. But I\u2019m saying that when people write something like this, a lot of people don\u2019t understand it. And I wanted to take the time to explain it.<\/p>\n

There are some things that PL says that are valid. Don\u2019t misunderstand me. We don\u2019t get mad because in some way or another PL is trying to better the Black Panther Party by trying to criticize it. But I just want to let you know, ain\u2019t nothing all right and ain\u2019t nothing all wrong. We\u2019re not all right\u2014though we trying to get that way. We make mistakes but we understand that we gonna make some more mistakes. And we gonna try and correct these mistakes and we gonna try and keep on moving.<\/p>\n

So what do we say? Don\u2019t get the pigs offa us cause we can stand em. We jail Mickey White, we should let em murder Bobby Hutton, we should let em run Eldridge Cleaver out of the country. Why? Because you can jail a revolutionary, but you can\u2019t jail the revolution. You can run a freedom fighter around the country but you can\u2019t run freedom fighting around the country. You can murder a liberator, but you can\u2019t murder liberation.<\/p>\n

Kill a few and get a little satisfaction. Kill some more and you get some more satisfaction. Kill \u2019em all and you get complete satisfaction. We say All Power to the People\u2014Black Power to Black People and Brown Power to Brown People, Red Power to Red People and Yellow Power to Yellow People. We say White Power to White People EVEN. And we say Panther Power to the vanguard Party and we say don\u2019t kill a few and don\u2019t kill some more. As a matter of fact we rather you didn\u2019t move until you see we ready to move, and when you see we ready to move you know we not dealing with a few, we not dealing with some more. You know that when we get ready to move we dealing from complete\u2014that\u2019s what we\u2019re after\u2014total, everything, everybody\u2014complete satisfaction.<\/p>\n
