October represents a very special month to me; it is the month that the greatest African Revolutionary organization every known to mankind was born here in the domestically colonized, vermin infested boarders of this racist country, the United States of America. It is the month that the Black Panther Party {BPP} for Self-defense was established. It was established on October 15, 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seals inside of a poverty center on the north side of Oakland, California.
Following in the footsteps of
such noble legends as Nat Turner; Harriet Tubman; Marcus Garvey; The African
Blood Brotherhood and the Deacons for Self-defense they dared to confront the
most powerful, racist nation on the planet, The United States of America in its
own back yards. Never has there been an organization that has had such a
dramatic effect on the masses as this organization mentioned here! Even after
its brutal demises 41 years ago its effects are still felt among the African
Working Class, the most revolutionary class in existence today.
No matter where you go today on
the streets or in the prisons of America, people to this very day
still talk about the Black Panther Party. This organization attracted
revolutionary comrades such as George Jackson; Geronimo ji Jaga Pratt; Assta
Shukar; Sundiata Acoli; Mumia Abu Jamal; Sekou Odinga and Marshall Eddie
Conway. This African Revolutionary organization dared to inspire the African
working class to establish a movement for the total freedom and liberation of
African people. It was this movement that launched a revolution against the
capitalist-colonialist-imperialist power structure of this backward, racist
government.
It was because of their ideology
and the vast support they received from the community that they were able to
effectively accomplish a vast amount detail work around the establishment of
revolutionary survival programs such as free sickle cell anemia testing; free
breakfast program for poor children; African school; free clothing program and
a Black Panther Party Youth Brigade. These survival programs challenge the
status quote of the American society forcing them to address the issues of
racism; unemployment/underemployment; police brutality and inhumanity in
prison.
It was because of the massive
support that they received from various racial and ethnic groups throughout the
world that the United States
government declared them to be the greatest internal threat to the security of
the United States of America.
The BPP had established itself internationally and gained the support of
various so-called third world nations such as Algeria;
China and Cuba. Here in the United States of America they had
gained the support of various progressive forces such as the Student
Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS) and the Peace and Freedom party, an anti-Vietnam War party.
Through the use of various
anti-black tactics developed by the United States government counter-insurgents
program (COINTEL PRO) they were able to demonize, murder, imprison and
ultimately destroy the greatest, most famous organization know to the African
working class, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. This program goes all the way back to the
times of Marcus Garvey who it was first deployed against. The government knows
that the development of any movement for the liberation of African people here
are abroad is detrimental to its goals and objectives, the re-colonization of Africa and the total enslavement of African people!
America needs a cheap, uneducated
labor force that it can control and dispose of anytime it wishes to. This is
why counter-insurgent programs such the COINTEL-PRO and Weed-and-Seed program
are needed. They have proven to be very effective against African people and
other oppressed and exploited nationalities within the U.S. The defeat of the African
Liberation Movement (ALM) has allowed for an increase in the prison population;
the mass murder of African people by the PIGS in the name of justifiable
homicide; the issue of unemployment/underemployment that has contribute to
increase in this nations homeless population.
Comrades, brothers and
sisters it should be clear for all to
see that there is a need, an urgency for us to rebuild the African Liberation
Movement/Revolution that will allow us to end the parasitic relationship that
exist between us and this capitalist-imperialist country known as the United
States of America. This is the only way in which we can bring home those
comrades who are imprisoned in the prison systems of this country and who are
forced to live in exile away from their loved ones. It is the only way that we
can know true freedom and independence!
Comrades let us raise the Red, Black and Green flag of African independence and rebuild the movement that will once and for all destroy this parasitic relationship, this relationship know as capitalism/imperialism.
