UPS E OF THE STREETS

-7-24-69 DETROIT by Vínce Kenneth, White Panther- -Wednesday's benefit at
the Grande for John Sinclair's Defense Fund pulled in $1,612.90, one of the
greatest sighs of support of a revolutionary person by revolutionary people,
Right now John is on trial for possesion of dope, Officially, "The People
of Michigan vs. John Sinclair," but we know who the people really are and
we proved it Wednesday at the Grande when "The People of Michigan saluted

John Sinclair," t =
The state's pig power structure wants to do away with Jóhn and his kind

(Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Abbie Hoffman, etc,) beacause they are a
threat to the pig's existance, People like John continuously expose the
PIG for what he really is and every day, more and more people realize that
"what we've been saying all these doggone. years.has been true," And it's
not just the young ones anymore, Older people are turning over to our side
of the coin, some slowly, others quickly, Parents every day. are awakening
to the fact that the only reason their children are so dedicated to the revolution íis that their children are right. They've been running around in
a half-assed manner for so'long not caring who really becomes mayor, sheriff,
governor or president. These people who have been voting all these years

eys., ; :

for a pretty face or a family name are just beginning to think about who

they've voted for, Vietnam, Starvation. Illiteracy. 'Rascísm, Ghettos,
Fascism, Johnsons. Rockefellers, Maddoxes, Reagans, Cavanaughs, Harv-

Fascism is coming down faster than most people think; Young people cannot gather ín a park to hear music without having 100 pigs there to see that they don't have too muck fun. Blacks cannot hold a protest over rascist
action of a police department without police informing them that they are
involved in an unlawful assembly and must disperse.
Dig the difference, brothers and sisters, that just a couple years of maturing fascism in Amerika can make, During the July 23rd Rebellion of 1967,
in Detroit, the DPD, State Police and the National Guard teargassed a rooftop or a building only if a sniper was suspected of being present there, Looters and arsens were no shot at but above, ‘hen captured they were just

put into a paddy wagon and shipped off th Jayne County Jail, With the ex-

ception of the Algiers Motel Incident, there were no real cases of police
brutality except in the cases of pí1gs who were pissed off' at all the extra
duty they had to put up with and just wanted to take it out on someone . .

a prisoner,

In the recent Ann Arbor Pig Riot, Tuesday ningt, ins.no pigs went running
all over the city from South University Street all the way downtown chasing
anyone that happened to be on the streets, tossing teargas everywhere they
went. Pigs arrested anyone they could get their piggie paws on, even grabbing people from their homes, If there was'no one committing a crime, then
they'd find sómeone, anyone as long as they could fill that fíicking bu,
shipping prisoners to the police station and sending it back for more prisoners. The pigs laughed, grunted and oinked as they hustled and dragged
people to the bus, A kid with a slingshot, know as "Slingshot" by the pigs,
was arrested for "carrjing a concealed weapon" and "carrýing a deadly weapon, '
then knocked down to the pavement, kicked in the head, rolied over, kicked
all over the back then put in the bus to join his comrades, including myself,
A11 night he was the ofject of abuse by the pigs who seem insulted that this:
punk "hippie" would dare carry a weapon of such a lethal nature,
Fascism is here, and just as Hitler said, in the name of Law and Order,
iake up Amerika! National Socialism is rascism is fascism, The U.S, is
rapidly becoming a police state, Don't be foclcd, The laws cannot be used
to our advantage. The pigs keep finding ways to work the laws in their favor. If a law îs found to be unconstitutional, the pig rewords it, Every-

thing works in their favor,

Our job as revolutionary people is to OFF THE PIG, Fascist government
officials must be exposed for what they are NOU and removed, If we don't

act NOJ, it may be too late a few months from now. e will win the fight

against the Oppressor or we will die. e won't die because we will win the
fight against the Oppressor.,

POYER TO THE PEOPLE
OFF THE PIG

2. We wanf justice. We want an immediate and total end to all cultural! and political repression

end of money. .

3. We want a free world economy based on the free exchange of energy and materials and the

4. We want free acess to all information media and to all technology for all the people.
5. We want a free educational system, utilizing the best proceedures and machinery our
modern technology can produce, thàt will teach each man, woman and child on earth

at once! i A

exactly what Each needs to know to survive and grow into his or her full human potential.

6. We want to free all structures from corporate rule and turn the buildings over to the people

7. We want free time and space for all humans-dissolve all unnatural boundaries! 8.

8. We want the freedom of all prisoners held in federal, state, county or city jails and prisoñs

: since the so-called legal system in Amerika makes it impossible for any man to obtain a

fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. | Si

9. We want the freedom of all people who are held against their will in the conscripted armies
of the oppressors throughout the world.

10. We want free land, free food, free shelter, free clothing, free music, free medical caro, free

education, free media, EVERYTHING FREE FOR EVERY BODY! :

establishment of a free economy throughout the world in which the only consideration is the ` :
needs of all the people all thë time, and that any social system which does not provide fot the

needs of all the people must be abolished and replaced by a free social order.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which haye connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare

the causes which impel them to the separation. :

We held these truths to be self-evident, that all men are cieated equal; that they are

endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of
government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish

it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing
its powers in such forms, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments lọng established snouid 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,
pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design.to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide
new guards for their future security.
