YOUNG LORDS PARTY

When the Young Lords Party began in July of 1969, we were the New York State Chapter of the Young Lords Organization (YLO). The YLO had its National Headquarters in Chicago, which was the place where the Rainbow Coalition was formed. The Rainbow Coalition was the corning-together of the Lords, Panthers, and the Young Patriots Organization, a poor white progressive group. The main purpose of the Coalition was to show our people how racism keeps us divided, and how we have· to work together to defeat the u.s. enemy. From the beginning we were tight with the Black Panther Party, sponsoring rallies and free clothing drives together, coming to each other's aid in times of stress, and informing our communities of the work the other Party was doing. This spirit of revolutionary solidarity continued to strengthen even after we split from Chicago in May, 1970, to form the Young Lords Party.

Today, we are joined even closer with our sisters and brothers in the Black Panther Party. The Young Lords Party recognizes that Black people have been and are the most oppressed group of people in amerikkka. As such, Black people will lead, the revolution, in the u.s., and the Black Panther Party is at the head of the Bleck peopls's struggle. Today, all of the yanqui', forces are being directed at crushing the People's Freedom Movements eround the world and in their own country. To withstand th is enemy, to defeat this enemy, we must stand more closely united then at any other time. Puerto Ricans'must realize that our fight is the fight of the Laotians, of the Vietnamese, of the Cubans, of the Brazilians, of the Guineans. of the Netive American (Indian), and of Black people living in the u.s.

The best way we can suceed in keeping our peoples united is by having steady, correct criticism and salf-criticism with each other. When we see our brother or sister messing up, we must pull them aside and talk about it. This is criticism, and it must be done at once, on the spot, and all the time. Whan we mess up, we must criticize oursalves to our sisters and brothers, and correct our mistakes, at once. This is the best way to keep dlflerances of opinion (contradictions). ernong our people at a friendly levil lnon-antagonistic).

Many people confuse differenCes of opinion ernong our people with differences of opinion ~ our people and the. anemy. With the anerny, differences of opinion are not friendly, but' agressive (antagonistic). The Young Lords Party .is saying this at this time

I because many people are trying to 911_ what is happening insidl the Bleck Panther Party, That is none of our business. That is the butiness of the news media that is the tool of the IllTierikkkan government. which is trying to divide the revolutionary forces. "Are the Panthers doing this?" "Are the Panthers c:tOmo that?" Later for all that, now is the time to stand by the ·Black Panther Party and its leadership: Minister of Oefense ~uayP. Newton; ChaIrman Bobby Seale; Minister of Information Eldridge Clellver; Cbiej- of Staff Devld Hilliard; . Field Mar~' Oon Cox;: Minister bf &ducation RaYmond u~:~

Douglas. We want our people to know that in thl

white radical movernant there are meny people who never criticized the Panthers, but shut up out of their own guilt and racism.We want our people to know that now these white radicals are talking about the Bleck Panther Party as though it were some kind of "experiment" and ~ the "experiment"has failed. Wban you criticize, it's done because you want to unite the forces; after the criticism, we corne out united egain. Tbis is . "unity, criticism, unity." •

But these people have bean"qliiet for over . four and a half years, and now thty talking. NoW they are predicting dooIn for the Panthers, instead of supporting them, Some ere evan saying thet a Black Revolutionary Party has bean provan to be a wrong idea, that having Bleck. p80pIe in the leadership of the arnerikkkan revolution was a Wrong idea, and now they are saying we must form parties that include whites in the leadership. These are'tha same people ~ said nothing wfIen Fred Hampton was murdered, .and did nothing in the face of more Pentfler repression.

This can only be said by opporturrists and racists. We condemn such talk, because these . people did nothing to cleseNe the right to speak. Black people will lead in arnerik~ka; whites must prove themselves.

agresivas (antagonisticas). EI Partido de los Young Lords hace estas declaraciones en este preciso momento porque muchas personas estln tratando de adivinar 10 que es~ sucediendo dentro del Partido de las Panteras Negras. Eso no debe preocuparnos. Eso a quien debe interesarle es a la prensa amarilla' que es el alicate usado por el gobierno amerikkkano en su empeWo de dividir las fuerzas revolucionarias. "Estln las P.anteras Negras haciendo esto?" "Estln las Panteras Negras haciendtJt lootro?"

When ponce de leon first landed in Puerto Rico on AugIISt 12, 1508, he tricked a Taino cacique,Agueybana the Elder, into thinking ..... a frieJId. By 1510, AIJU8'ibana'.s nephew WjIS .in rebel:lion apinst ~ything tpanish. What had happened?

What happened _ that ponce de leon

was the spearhead 'for the spanish colonization, enslavement, of Puerto Rico. When he returned to the island in Marin, 1509, after going to the Dominican Republic (spain's l1eadquarters in the "'new world'" for more qrders, h4i brought African sm. for his houlehold. govarnor de leon' brought franciscan friars in to "teach I]IIigion" t to the T ainos. This ,follows the classical pattern , used by -*" conquerors - first, the "discoverer", then, the colonizer, then the priest. The plan is to get the "natives" so flung up on religion that they're too busy singing to l1I8Iin they live in chains. Drugs .were used in a similar way to bust up the gangs in the u.s.

Despite the fact that the Indians had been IIb1t tI) survive Tor 1housands of years Without spanish help. it was "obvious" to the racist: conquerors thet the T aioos needed help. A type of welfare system called the encomienda was started. Under. this plot, anyWhere from 30 to 300 Indians headed by a cacique were given to each spanish colonizer. The colonizer put them to work the minas or elsewhere. The cacique was used as luis a. ferre, govfll1'\or of PUerto Rico, is used today - a mtddleman to. the boss. The, generous ~niards taught the Indians Catholicism and spanish culture, as payment for their services. Part of the spanish ' CIllture meant thanhe I ndians.had to cover their bodies, as though it were somethill9 to be ashamed of. Throughout history, westem culture hIIS' always dORe this, and shown itself 10 Third World (people of colorl People for whet it really .is - sick. The good 01' ac:omienda weHIa-v of the Indians.

helped along by the spanish who taught religion:"We are the children of God .. You~:'l. After Agueybana the Elder's death, his nephew, Agueybana II, had more. influence on the Tainos. ponce de leon had given Agueybana II alK! his people to a rapist na~ sotomayor, a cruel sub-human being. Only the lie of the spaniards' immortality prevented a revolt.

Urayoan was an old cacique who had seen many things pass, and as far as he could tell, these spanish trespassers were not Gods. In November, 1510, a spaniard, diego saliedo, asked Urayoan for some brothers to carry him and his bags across the Guaorabo River (check that outl. The Taino brothers, like good boys, carried him and when they got to midstream, dropped him. They held poor diego under for several hours, then carriiKI him ashore. Next they sat and watched. According to the stories the spaniards had told, their God was dead three days, and then came back to life. Since they were children of God, 'made in God's image and likeness, the spanish reasoned, why. they could do it too. After three days, diego refused to come back to life, and his stinking, decaying body _ dragged 1Jack to Urayoan for inspection.

The spaniards sure as hell were not Gods. Sometimes"it saems as though we will have to carry a politician like the mayor or the president across the river to show people, what we mean, that. the enemy also sleeps.

Agueybana and other caciques went to war. spaniards caught on isolated plantations were killed. On a major assault against ponce • de leon, Agueybana was killed, and the I~ were in di~rder (that is why today we can't have only one strOllf 18ader.

neighboring islands. Those who had been captured, killed their children and committed suicide, rather than serve a spanish beast. De leon asked king ferdinand for help to run the mines. He could not understand What was

wrong with these Indians, as he sent his troops out to deal with the Indians who were still fighting in the hills. He left to find the fountain of youth. The facts we have today about how many Ipdians survived the brutality of the spanish varies so widely that we cannot say exactly how many there were. Most I ndians did refuse to work for spani..-ds.

In 1611, a Dominican friar told governor diego columbus (son of chris) of the Dominican Republic, that he had sinned for persecuting the Indians. In 1$12, the Dominican friars prassured the king f~ reforms, until a principle of freedom for the'_ Indians _ established - colonizars had to reduce the working hours. cere for sick Indians, and baptize them. At least one Indian had to be taught to read and write. Marr~ Indian _ did not have to work in the mines, and children under 14 did not have to do herd labor.

Bacause the order came all the way from spain, a great distance aw8v, it was hardly followed.

Once the gold mines stOPped tuming profits, the colonizers turned to agriculture to support the economy. As a boost to the aconomy, African sieves were brought in. This was around 1519. As payback for being made slavas, the Africans carried smallpox they picked up from the whites on the ship to the spanish, who died like flies in a massive epidemic.

The next few years saw Carib Indians attack' San German, killing five friars and row into San Juan Bay under cannon to atl!lck a nearby town (guerrilla warriors). The french also· attacked San German,' sacking and burnill9 it. In 1530, the ,gold mines were practically dry. A series of storms hit the island, and colonizers who had morgaged their crops to buy African slaves went broke. So manYP80P1e wanted to leave Puerto Rico, the governor made it a _ious crime, Severe punishments, like the cutting Q.ff of a leg, was given to anyone caught trying to lave.

In 1521, emperor charles V ordered the freedom of all Indians except those owned by people who lived on the island who were, not members of the crown. This could be done easily now that the Africans were working. All 600 Indians, who were still living as slaves, we,." rounded up and sent to Toa, a royal farm. This is what the u.s. does in Vietnam. It rounds up Vietnamese people from different towns where it believes the NLF has support twhich is just about every town) and places them in a specially created "town", 'really a concentration camp. It is called the "strategic ;hamlet," or "pacified village." Also that year, the island's name changed from San Juan to .puerto Rico, and the city that had been called 'Puerto' Rico was changed to San Juan. bautista spanish thinking.

In 1521, ponce de leon, looking for the fountain of youth, was killed by the Tainos' Indians comrades in Florida. 1521 was a good year.

Prosperity was short-lived. Other islands ;n the Antilles, properties of powers besides 1jJain. developed better ways of sugar Droduction, taking away Puerto Rico's markets. Slave trade diminished and pirate attacks cut dowo on shipping.

NEXT ISSUE: THE BIRTH OF THE PUERTO RICAN.

PONCE-MARCH 21! ROMPE CADENASI LIBERATE PUERTO RICO NOW!

Pablo ''Voruba'' Guzman Minister of Information YOUNG LORD~ PARTY

Cuando ponce de JJn 1Jegc/ par primera vez a Puerto Rico el 12 de agosto de 1508, engaiic{ al Cacique Tarno, Agueybana el.Viejo, haci/ndole creer que era un amigo. Para 1510 eI sobrino de Agueybana estaba rebel&'dose contra cualquier cosa espa1iola. aul habfa sucedido?

Lo que pBsl ful que ponce de lecfn era la avanzada de la colonizaciSn y esclavitud de Puerto Rico por los espail'oles. C'uando.eI regrescf a la isla en marzo de 1509, despuls de ir a la R~blica Dominicana (el cuartel de espall'a en al "nuevo mundo") para obtener mas &rdenes, el comprl esclevos Africanos para su casa. EI gobemador de lecfn trajo monjes franciscanos para "ensellar religidn" a los Tarnos. Este es el plan cltsico de lo§ conquistadores de oeste - primero el "descubridor"; luego el colonizador; luego el cura. EI plan es meterles tanta religitn a los nativos que esufn demasiado ocupados en cantar para darse cuenta de que vlVen encadenados. Las drogas fueron usadas de manera parecida para acabar con las gangas en lose.u. .

A pesar del hecho de que los Indios hebian podido sabrevivir durante miles de aOos sin ayuda espal'l"ola, era muy "obvio" para estos conqu istadores racistas que los

, Tarnos necesilaban ayuda. SIlempezJun tiDO de 'sistema de welfare lIamado encomienda. Segd'n este complot a cada coIonizador espa'/iol Ie daban de 30 a 300 Indios enc:r:ts- por un "QjlCiqu, ,~p,EI co~,. los " :8 'trabe;ar'...... las' miRai 0 11ft, a/gUn otro litio. 1:1 gobemadOr era usado de la misma nuinera qUe ahora as usado luis 8. ferre, gebemador de Puerto Rico, como eI capataz del patnfn. Los generosos espaWolas enseft'aron a los Indios el catolicismo y II! cultura espai'I"ola, como pago por sus servicios. Parte de la cultura ge los espaiioles signiticaba que los l'ndios ten," que cubrir sus cuerpos, como si fuera alga de que avergonzarse. A travis de la historia, la cultura occidental siempre he hecho esto, presenu:mtose ante los 'pueblos del Tercer Mundo (la gente de color) como 10 que es realmente - una anf@rmedad. La "buena" encomienda signific& la lisclavitud de los Indios.

A causa de las armaduras, armas de fuego, caballos, ganado y puereos de los espalfoles, los Indios creyeron que &ran dioses bIancos (un mito que los espai'i'oles ayuderon a crear aI ensenar religiJn, "Nosotros somos los hijos de Dios. Ustedes. .. "). Despuls de la muerte de Agueybana eI Viejo, su sabrino Agueybana II two mas infIuencia sabre los T amos. oonce 'de JeJn habia dado a Agueybana II y a su gente a un ultrajador lIamado sotomay~r, un ser cruel e inhumano. SoIamente la mentlra de la immortalidad espanola evita' una revuelta.

Urey04n era un viejo cacique que habfa vista muchas cosas, y en cuanto a 'I Ie tocaba estos invasoras espailoles no eran dioses. En noviembre de 1510 un espa1\ol, diego de salcedo, Ie pidicf a Urayo/n uno< hermanos para que Ie ayudaran a cergarle a '" y a su

equipaje a traves del r~ (miren que guapo!). Los barmanos Tamos, como buenOf muchachos, 1,0 cargaron y aI llegar a 18 mitad del rio, 10 dejaron caar. Mantuvieron al pobre de diego b8jo el agua por varias tiaras, luego 10 lIev&ron a Ia pl8J8. Entonces sa sentaron y obsarvaron. Seg\ln los ~ cuentos que los

Desde luego, los espilfiolitos no eran dioses ni nada parecido. A veces' parece que tendremos que lIevar a un politico como eI mayor 0 el presidente al rio p8!'a ense1\arle a Ia gente que el enemigo tarnbiert estire Ia,pat&.

IpALANTE In September, 1969, many students at the

. University of Puerto Rico were beaten and jailed after the rotc (reserve officers training corps) building on the Rio Piedras campus was burned down.

On the mainland, a group of Puerto Rican students began to look for a way to help our brothers and sisters on the island. Meeting at Lehman College in the Bronx, they collected money and sent telegrams to the colonial goverment and the administration of the University of Puerto Rico, protesting the persecution of students there. Eventuallly, the people at Lehman realized that many schools were doing the same thing, but the work was not being coordinated - each school was isolated and no one knew what was going on in other schools.

After a series of meetings, the idea of a united Puerto Rican student movement developed. The movement would : organize high school and college students to fight in the schools and in our communities against the problems all Puertorriquenos face; support the struggle of all Third World (Latino, Black, Asian, Native American) people; and struggle for the liberation of Puerto Rico. In the past, high school and college groups had been isolated from their people. This time would be different.

people arrested after a huge police force occupied EI Barrio and arrested everyone inside the church.

PRSU soon became involved in a struggle at Bronx Community College over the Bilingual Program. This was supposed to be a program where spanish-speaking students took their courses in spanish and got credit for them. At the same time they would take classes to learn english. But the prejudiced school administration decided that they weren't going to' give credit for classes taken in spanish. They said that students had to repeat the classeS in english. One teacher in the program was so bad that she made students pay 5 cents every time they spoke a word of spanish. To protest this raciSm and to demand student co'!trOl of the program, PRSU, the Bilingual students, and the Young Lords Party seized both Bronx Community College and the Board of Higher Education. The Bilingual Program has since been switched to Lehman College and the fight continues.

In April, Oswego College had a conference called "Puerto Rico : A Story of Succeu." PRSU, MPI, and 1M Puarto Rican Alliance seized the microphone and the stage. They tore down pictures of ferre and munoz marin and replaced them with a picture of Don

71 been able to unite and stop city marshalls from throwing people out of their apartments.

PRSU found itself working not only in the schools, but also in the community. Along with the Y LP and H RUM (Health Revolutionary Unity Movement), they fought against bad conditions at Lincoln Hospital. At a health rally in the Bronx, 7 members and sympathizers of PRSU were arrested and brutally beaten.

An empty lot was turned into Plaza Borinquena. People came and worked with PRSU to paint and fix up the lot. Now it is used as a playgroUnd as well as a place for community education classes and rallies.

In September, PRSU and the YLP held a Puerto Rican Student Conference. at. Columbia UniverSity. Over 1000 students attended and we were able to decide together on the direction of the student moVement.

On 'October 30th, we marched together with thousands of our sisters and brothers to the UN where we demanded "Liberate Puerto. Rico Nowl"

The Puerto Rican Student Union has gone . through a lot of ch8nges . and like all

orgenizations that are dedicated to serving and protIJcting, they are continuing to change and develop - to grow stronger. They see a

Ever since Novembar of 1493 when christopher columbus got lost and bumped into our ,island Borinquen (claiming he "discovered" it!, our people have felt the oppression (enslavernent) of the ,enemy: spain, and then the united'statas. All Puerto Ricarts hava grO)Nn up oppressed, owned, in some way by arnerikkka. When Puerto Ricans move against the enemy to break off chains, the oppression intensifies against them and atl of us in general. This is called reprassion.

History proves this. In the early 1500's, the Tainos ~ought against the spaniards-who had invaded the island. The spaniards came down on the. native people heavily -repression. In 1868, Betencas led II revolt in Lares. Again, spain responded by trying to exile likltancas and dastroy the movement -repression. In 195Q, the Nationalist Party led ' e "'Iion, that hagan in Jeyuya. This time, ,amarikkka )ailed Z,ooo, PuertO ,Ricans, many of wfIom were Nationalists - repression. In 1969, .....

DEFENSE SUPPLEMENT

The Young Lords Party is a revolutionary political party fighting for the liberation of all

. oppressed people. This alone means we are enemies of the state, the government, and that the state will do anything to stop us. Part of the state's power is the field of technology. Puerto Ricans and all other people of color(Third World People) have been brainwashed into thinking they cannot understand this tricky technology. Thanks to Agent 007, the man from u.n.c.l.e., get smart and mission impossible, bugging(liIe vanguard of the enemy's technological arsenal), has been built to unrealistic proportions. This is a guida to oppressed people on bugging, or deY ICes used to record conversations.

HOW BUGS WORK The most well known form of bug: is the

telephone tap. One type is the j')robecoil. If connected to a listening device it produces no radiated signal that can be picked up by an anti·bug receiver. Taps can be used not only on the phone itself, but anywhere along the line or on top of a telephone pole.

All telephone taps involve three factors: A. The method of coupling, or hooking,

the voice from the line; S. The way a tapped voice is transmitted

to the tapper. :: C. Power for a radio transmitter (most are ~gned to operate from the telephone linel.

The so-called "wire taps" (called "black boxes" in the profession) are nothing more than cheap line locators. With alligator clips, you can attach earphones or a tape. recorder to the line. Police dapartments are.the largest

. users of wire taps. Another type of telephone bug. is the

telephone line radio transmitter. It uses radio waves. Most work on standard FM broadcast bands dnd transmit from 200 feet to y" of a mile; A transmitter lasts about one week, but can go for longer periods if mercury cells are used. If your phone breaks down every so often and you need the repairman-well,YOU know.

Most desirable of all phone taps is the automatic internal transmitter. It is nearlv i"lpossible to wear out because it recharges from the telephone line. It is the hottest item on the spy market. It transmits on FM and occassionally over t.v. channels. When the Bronx Branch office 'of the party was bugged, friends heard office conversions a few blocks away on their radios.

Some advancad telephone transmitters look like desk staples. The most widely known bugging instrument came from the entertainment industry called trailing mike cables. They are known as pocket transmitters, the kind gene roberts (Pant!!r 21 informer) made "famous". They come ill all shapes, from buttonholes to cigarette packs. is important to know that all room bugs of this type require external batteries. The greater the transmitter range. the greater the battery drain. Also needs an antenna. '~ike what 007 tried to convince us of,

mo$l-,toom bugs are quite large. with two exceptions. One is a J)en bug, the other is a type tbat can be drilled into a substance. Remember, they still need a power source. If attached to a painting, look for batteries nearby. LIMITS

Most transmitters extend a 3·block

distance at best. Really good ones can go up to a mile. They cannot d istingu ish or key in on a particular voice. This is being worked .on through laser beams, but is still berng 4lements. A thorough search should be made 'of table bottoms, lamp bases, book cases, picture frames, ventilating ducts, etc.. All recent room detection should be checked. for new plaster or paint. A slim finishing nail jammed into any hole you locate destroys any microphone. Watch all repairmen and servicemen(the pilJS hardly ever use women to make repairs). As with Third World people, women are not expected .to understand technology either.

Bugs· record all sounds. If you leave a radio on it uses up the bugs batteries. Check insida of telephones, especially the main terminal box. Leave a radio 01) during meetings louder than conversation tone. With an FM radio listen for yoUr own voice Or loud oscillating sound, especially between 88-108 FM. Remember: I. A human being can zero in on a particular sound. A microphone cannot, and 2. The most effective anti·bugging device is you!

The best security rule in the world is "don't r:un off with the mouth". And in the WArds of Huey Newton, "The spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

EI gobierno vefa todas estas COS8$ para nunca se daba cuantadel camino que segu(an. Pregllhtaban: "Que irl a hacer 11518 gente1" Nunca pensaron sobre 10 que hemos estado' diciendo todo 81 tiempo - libertad Pare Puerto Rico Ahara!

0:1 For the past two year.s, the Young lords

Party has bean making bases in the communities of East Harlem, Bronx, lower East Side, Bridgeport and Philadelphia. At no time was any lord indictad for a criminal or serious, case. The police , eity officials, and other governmant agencies (c.i.a., b.o.s.$., f.b.i. act ... ) have tried to slow down the Party,

but they never thought wa were all that much -of a threat. They always thought that we ware just any other community group that was offering breakfast programs, clothing drives. free medical care, etc. Every once in a while they would be surprised by some of our actions-like the liberation of the x·ray truck, the, takeover of Lincoln Hospital, and the two takeovers of the spanish methodist church. The government saw all of these things, but never noticed what they ware leading to. Thay woul~ ask, ''What are these people up

_ to?" They never thought of what wa've been saying all along - liberate Puerto Rico Nowl

This saying carne closer to us at the beginning of 1971 when ~ decision was made to open up a branch in Puerto Rico: When the officials of new york city heard this, they were astounded and decided that they had to work fast. Thay realized that wa were fighting for the National liberation of our motherland, Borinquan, and so, they had to qlJickly come up with something to halt the move to Puerto Rico, something to stop the Young lords Party. It had to be something big like a conspiracy charge.

Right away assistant d.a. kenneth conboy volunteered to move on ,the conspiracy. kenneth conboy "cowboy kenny," is not onlY' a dirty d.a., but he worked for boss. the, red squad office. The polite department specificallY used him for wire tapping.

"cowboy kanny" has takan all lords cases fat· himself. (up to this time all lords cases have bean held over for "8 further date). He has ordered the police department to start going into lords homes and turn them inside out looking for evidence that can be used against us. The homes of the Cantral Committee have been recently ransacked.

Kanny has also recently taken over the case of Carlos Feliciano, trying to link him up with C.A.l. and M.I.R.A. He has bean noted for calling the Panther 21 indictment a very loose case. He prefers a fighter case like the N.Y. 6. (six people with a _ina bomb outside the 1st national city bank on 92ndn. supposedly readym bomb it).

"cowboy kanny" is now planning _at might tum out m be the biggest conspiracy indictmant ever. If conboy's plan works, he is going to heve to convince ovarl,ooo, PuertO' Ricans in new york city, 100,000 in Philadelphia, 3O;BIiIO in, Brlctgej.,ort aAd who knows how mahy _, throughout' tha

114 '. Throughout the history of the Puerto

Rican Liberation Struggle, first spain and then the united stetes, have tried every method possible to sabotage all organizations which are successful in awakening the spirit of the people.

One such method is by having Puerto Ricans infiltrate these organizations either to cause splits and divisions internally or to gether information to be used later by the enemy. T'*e spies that do this kind of worl< are either fools or traitors. Either way, they are dangerous because they are offering many important lives up to the dogs. Following is a list of agents in the Young Lords Party uncovered by our Intelligence Section.

In 1968 infiltrated the Black Panther Party in California while attending Community College. Carne east and founded the New Yorl< Peace and Freedom Party. , While in New York attended early

nwetings of first. Panther branch in Brooklyn. is interesting to note that agant Ralph

White who is now testifying against the Panther 21 has mentioned names of people who were at those early meetings, but has flliled to mention agent Carlos Aponte's name, although they know each other very well.

During the fall of 1969 he was instrumental in forming the .Puerto Rican Studants Union.

he went to Cuba with the Venceremos

AGENTES DELA

POLICIA En toda la historia de la Lucha prolongada

por la Li~raci~n de Puerto Rico, primero bajo los espanoles y ahora los estadaSunidos, han tratado de destruir toda organizaci&n que ha tenido Ixito en levWltar el espfritu del pueblo.

Uno de los m6todos es infiltar las organizaciones con PuertorriqueOos. con dos prop6sitos: para crear divislones internas 0

parra poner informacion en manos del enemigo.

Estos Puertorriquenos que hacen esto son sJnganos 0 lombrices (lombrices son Puertorriquenos vendepatrias). Lo que sean, una cosa es cierta, son peligrosos, ya que estan sacrificando m\ichas vidas importantes a los perros amerikkkanos.

PORQUE PONCE Desde que se fundo"'" el Partido de los

Young Lords hemos dicho: "Tengo Puerto Rico en mi corazon" y por 10 tanto Que Viva Puerto Rico Libre:

Esa consigna la levantamos cuando tiramos basura en el barrio, cuando tomamos poS8lli~ de la ig)esia del pueblo en la 111, cuando luchamos para asegurar 9ue nuestro pueblo reciba atencidn ~ica como humanos y no como animales, la levantamos nuevarnente cuando en la rama de Filadelfia comenzamos a luchar contra las drogas que estafO matando a nuestra gente, cuando march\lfTlos en la parada Puertorrique1'l'a en nueva york, cuando mataron Julio dijimos "Que Viva Puerto Rico Libre!" •

En tadas esas ocasiones nos sentimos Puertorriqueiios, Pero no es sufjciente sentirse Puertorriq~ es alga ma"S, muCho mar profundo.

Es el saber que nuestro pueblo 1/3 en e.e.u.u., 2/3 en la isla, hemos estado esclavizados, hambrientos, sufriendo desde nuestros aliuelos y antes de los viz abuelos deellos; bajo la gamtde los amerikkkanos.

Es esa inquietud de ver a nuestros hermanos y hermanas muriendo del hstito de drogas. de ver a nuestros hermanos morir en guerras como Vietnam, C31sada por los arnerikkkanos. CIIIISlIdos de trabajarles sus fabricas, ,de ir a las escueIas de los yankees, ~ de que nos' roben nuestras tierras, cansados de su racisrno y cansados ~ leer en eI diario - que ellombriz teuI quiere hacer a

• Puerto Rico un estado en 1974. Y as por esto que tenemos (jue IeVantarnos juntos boricuas en e.e.u.- boricues en la Isla, para poner fin eI aIJuso yankee (~.

Ahora con Viva Puerto Rico Libre los Young Lords vamos para Ponce ya que para liberar a Puerto Rico tenemos que reliriir a nuestra nacicrn.

Escojimos a Ponce por varias razones: Primero: Ponce es el pueblo donde nacir!

Don Pedro Albizu Camjos, por 10 tanto era una de las bases mas fuerte del Partido Nacionalista.

Segundo: En Ponce esta la "Ponce Metal" , la empresa amerikkkana que nos roba

nuestro cobre. Tercero: Hay muchas plantas qufrnicas,

que hacen milliones en ganancias y nos pudren el aire. Ponce tambi~ tiene gran desempleo, ya que en muchas de las "industrias" no emplean Puertorri9ue"!;os.

De gran importancia tambilii quada el hecho de que Ponce esta'retirado de San Juan,

-Ia parte de nuestra isla mas infectada por los yankees, donde tienen sus 'hoteles mlS grande, sus cabarets, sus casinos etc. etc. inclusive donde tienen la mayorfa de las fuerzas policiacas protejiendolA esas propiedades.

Ponce queda retirado de todo esto, y incialmente esto es importante ya que tenernos que tener pre , cauci~ con los policfas que esta',;' en estos mismos momentos tratando de arrestarnos para evitar que nosotros lIegernos a la I sla (lea el centro de Palante). Sabernos que cuando lIegernos estartri buscando cualquier cosa para

arrestarnos. " Tenemos que tambien notar que en otros

pueblos y sectores nos matiene" aivididos Por ejemplo, en pueblos como LoGa, somos mayormante afro-bor1dJa;'en pueblos como lares, 'somas Jfmos; y en slctores como Iii

Perla, somos lumpen (los desempleados cnfnicos. los adictos a drogas, las prostitutas,

mientras que en los caserfos y las urbaniuciones somos obreros.

En Ponce, estas divisiones son menos - y por 10 tanto tenemos A fro-borfcua - Jlbaros, lumpen, ,obreros, todo sector de nuestro pueblo, y alii'" comenzaremos a trabajar todos juntos como 10 haremos desputs por toda la Isla, y en estados unidos 10 _ haremos con nuestros hermanos y hermanas Afro-Americanos, Latinos, Asifticos, blancos oprimidos.

EI Partido de los Young Lords pertenece al pueblo, todas nuestras acciones han sido para favorecer a todos; para mantenemos fuertes, necesitamos que nuestro pueblo nos deje saber si ~mos hacHfndolo bien, sOinos humanos y vamos a hacer errores, sus quejas y crfticas, aspecialmente en este tiempo de of ens iva rom~ena. Escriban al 202 E. 117, Cuartel Nacional.

EI Partido no recibe dinero del gobiemo que nos oprime,vivimos de cualquier contribucicfn que haga eI pueblo hacia la liberacio~ nacional, para poder lograr la Junta en la Isla, necesitamos cualquier ayuda papel, maquinillas - dinero - comida.

Necesitamos todo para romper las cadenas: de nuestra esclevitud.

WHY PONCE?

amerikkkans, tired of working in their factories, of going to the yankee schools, tired of having our land stolen, tired of their racism, and tired of reading in the press that the lombriz ferre wants to make Puerto Rico a state in 1974.

And this is why we JT1ust rise up together, Boricuas in the u.s. and Boricuas on the island, to put an end to yankee abuse.

Now with "Viva Puerto Rico Libra''', the Young Lords are going to Ponce, since to liberete Puerto Rico, we must re-unite our Nation.

We chOse Ponc:e for various reasons: Fint, Ponce is the city where Don Pedro

Albizu Campos _ bom and was therefore, one of the strongest foundations of the Nationalist Party.

Second, Ponce Metal, the amerikkkan enterprise that robs our copper, is loceted in Ponce.

Third, there are _s chemical plants tItat make miI1ion$,in ..,.... and ~­air. Ponce also has a high ... uf unemployment since many of the "industries" do not employ Puerto Ricans.

Also of greet importanGe is the fact that Ponce is far from San "'-. the pert of our island which is most infested with yankees, where they have the biggest hotels, their night clubs, 1Iseir gambling ~ etc.,etc. Plus projeCtS aiiO urbaniz.tiomfWt ant Workft .

tn Ponce, these div~.are /es$ and thus we hIwe Afro.-8oricues, Jibaros, Jumpert, and worken - every sector of our peopIe.AtJd there we witt begin to work tog81her as we will. do so later in the rest of the island, and in the united states with oar Afro-American,

where they have the majority of the police forces to protect 1Iseir properties. Ponce is far· from aI~ uiis and initially thiS is import8nt sinc:e we must take precautions with the police who at tl)is very momen~ are trying to

of only the YLP,' we fight for all Puerto Ricans and Third World People who want the right to determine their own lives, to control their own communities.

The Young Lords Party belongs to the people. All our. actions have been directed to serve all. To keep pursetves strong we need for our peopht to let us know if we are doing this well.

In Vietnam the people have shown the -strength of 8 unfied people's army in defeating first the french and now the u.s.a. One sister who has come to the forefront of this struggle is Madame Nguyen Thi Dinh who is presently the vice commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Liberation of South Vietnam.

Nguyen Thi Dinh, the youngest of 11 children, was born to a poor peasant family in the province' of Bentre. As young as age 11, she joined in the fight against rich peasants and the french colonizer in an insurrection that took place in 1930. Heavy repression came down on her family and one of her brothers was jailed. When he got out of jail , he began teaching her more about potitical matters. Then at the age of 16 she became a messenger for the revolutionary movement fighting against the french.

Again in 1939, repression came down very harci' on the revolutionary movamant. All known cadres (revolutionaries) and even poor peasants who -were not involved in revolutionary activity were arrested and tortured. Madame Dinh's husband was jailed that year, only two years after their marriage. He died in prison without her ever saeing him again. A year later, she was imprisoned and her 6 month old baby was taken away from her. She was brutally tortured trying to get her to confess to subversive activities against the government; but she wouldn't speak. At the time she was arrested , 1,000 prisoners

. including 100 women were also arrested, most of them not knowing why. Madanie Dinh took it upon herself as a revolutionary to educate all the sisters and bro1hers, showing 1hat a revolutionary organizes and educates the people wherever she or he is at.

In 1943, she suffered a severe Mart ailment. The ~ believing 1hat she_ unable to continue in political activity released her from priton. +10_, she._ constantly watched and was. unabla to traval outside the village. Any friends she made contact with wentamtS18d. "'inaUy, the MAt to work with the Viet Minh in 1944, and in 1945 sbe took her part in • popular insurrection against the french and the rich peasants. Agter that insurrection, the war of resistance began on Sept. 23. (The annw-ry of our Grito de Leras when we began our struggle as Puerto Ricans against the spanish colonizer).

In 1946, Madame Dinh _ sent to Hanoi to report on the revolution in the south. There P saw Ho Chi Minh. After completing that mission, she was sent to p(Jblicize the resolution on arming the people imd on armed strUggle. She went from ' village to village bringing. the resolution to the people.

On November 5, 1970, brother Lav9l1 Moore was savagely beaten by pigs who go by the name of "correction officers" at the Tombs in New York City. Brother Lavon's killing was automatically called c a sui4!ide. What they didn't know was that one of the brotf"\ers who witnessed tf),e beating would not be intimidated or harrassed enough, would not be afraid to say what he had seen, even though his own life was threatened again and again. That one of many who had seen the beating would love his other brothers so much that he is willing to lay down his c life so that others may live, by exposing the savage prison system for what it really is, "concentration camps of the usa."

On January 8, 1971, the Inmates Liberation Front bailed this brother out of the Tombs and he proved through his actions that he loved brothers and sisters who suffer behind those bars. Yes, Richard Harris showed that he cared. He knew that he was not free because the bars out here ara much stronger and mora repressive than inside and he struggled for freedom, justice, and equality, for the right to control his own destiny. He knew that this system can not be chenged, that opprassion cannot be changed or controlled, so he. fought alongside his brothers and sisters to be frae, to and

repression and murder in ~I prisons, the minimum and maximum security concentration camps.

On January' 28, 1971, brother Richard Harris was convicted by a racist jury and a pig judge after four dayS of trial, which again goes to show US that we cannot expect justice in our oppressor's courts, that this is one of many ways which the system is using to take the People's Army and destroy it before it can grow.

What we must realiza is that right now brother Richard Harris is in denger and it is up to the people in minimum to make sura that Richi8's life is not taken from him by the pigs. He stood up straight and did nOt bend over or cover his eyes with the rags of in;ustlce. cLefs allc of us take off ~rags

This is important cbecause many people although they recognize the need for sisters in . revolUjionary struggle doubt the military capabiltias of women. She continued her political work in this province and became one of the leaders. By 1960 in the struggle against the u.s.a. she became the first secretary of the revolutionary organization in her native province. By the end of 1961, she became vice president of the National Liberation Front. In 1964, she becIIme a member of the central committe of the National Liberation Front as vice president of the military chief of staff of the National Liberation Front and president of the women's committee.

It is important for us to know the history of third world women who fought and are fighting for the freedom of our peoples. We usually don't know anything about them because even. today people believe women

. have no role in revolution. Yet sisters all over the world and especially the vietnamese have shown that revolution is the duty of both men and women.
