The Commission states its conclusions are based on sociological research which provided no evidence that exposure to or use of explicit sexual materials play a significant role in the causation of social or individual harms such as crime, delinquency, sexual or nonsexual deviancy or severe emotional disturbances.  The research, according to the Commission, was inconclusive, yet they base their conclusions upon it.

            The formula for sexual crime can be expressed: impulse + opportunity – control = criminal action.

            All normal persons are subject to impulses which, if controlled, would lead to criminal activity.  These impulses are extremely powerful but vary in frequency and endurance.  The Commission states that sexual impulses are stimulated by pornography.  It is a logical conclusion that this will increase sexual crime.

            The permissive society allows ample opportunity for the indulgence of illicit impulses.

            The central question in relation to sexual crime is the degree of control.  This control may be external or internal.  External control is applied by society through legal and social sanctions.  As the probability of legal punishment diminishes, the probability of sexual outrage increases.  This also applies to social disapproval.  The legality of pornography implies social approval.

            Internal discipline comes from religious faith and moral training in the home, the school, and the community.  How can any serious person doubt that pornographic material that stimulates strong sexual urges and glamorizes illicit and perverse indulgence, will contribute to the breakdown of the will to resist?

            In the last analysis, the reason for self-control is that it is against the law of God.  Those who do not believe in God, do not believe in His laws.  Often they see no reason why they should obey the laws of man if they can break them with safety.  The increase in lawlessness and crime in America is an expression of the loss of faith in God and His law.

            The Commission on Obscenity and Pornography has advanced the cause of demoralization and the probability of communist slavery.  To paraphrase the words of Madame Roland as she awaited the guillotine, “O sociological research! what crimes are committed in thy name.”

BLACK PANTHER INTERNATIONAL

            An official headquarters for the Black Panther International has been opened in Algiers, Algeria.  This is reported as follows in the Guardian, October 3, 1970, Page 16:

“Panthers open international HQ

“By Elaine Klein, Special to the Guardian, Algiers

            “The international headquarters of the Black Panther party opened here this month in a 10-room, two-story house last occupied by the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam.

            “Since Algeria broke diplomatic relations with the U.S. in June 1967 following the Israeli war, the Panther international office—headed by exiled party minister of information Eldridge Cleaver—is the only official representation the American people have in Algeria.

            “The U.S. government’s lavish Moorish-style embassy has been reduces to the status of an ‘American interests section,’ flying the Swiss flag who handle limited U.S. affairs here.

            “Inauguration of the Panther office Sept. 13 was treated as a major event here, not only as recognition of the Panthers as a national liberation movement but because the office is the first representation abroad of black Americans in U.S. history.

            “In a press conference prior to the opening, Djelloul Malaika—in charge of relations with national liberation movements—stated Algeria’s support of the struggles waged by the Black Panther party: ‘The National Liberation Front, which has never spared any effort to contribute its unconditional support beyond any suggestion of compromise to those struggling for freedom, will continue to contribute effectively to the strengthening of their struggle, placing itself at their side in countering imperialism’s maneuvers.’

            “Cleaver replied that ‘the Black Panther party is the legitimate representative of black people who are struggling inside the U.S. Black people, with the Black Panther party as their vanguard organization, have already unleashed a war of national liberation and national salvation inside the U.S. . . . By our actions we have clearly stated to the whole world, including the U.S. fascist imperialists themselves, that we reject the house of slavery of the United States of America and intend to change it into a social system of freedom and peace.

            “On hand for the opening ceremonies in addition to the many representatives of national liberation movements of Africa and Asia, diplomats, press and friends, were the members of the U.S. people’s anti-imperialist delegation just arrived from Pyongyang, Hanoi and Peking.

            “Among the international section’s immediate plans are a series of publications and the strengthening of ties with the liberation struggles in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.”

            The strategy and policy of the Black Panther International is stated as follows by Eldridge Cleaver at a press conference in Algiers on September 13, 1970:

            “The strategy of the Black Panther party in both coping with this savage repression and unceasingly pushing forward our struggle is:

1.      Unite the forces of Black people.

2.      Form a concrete United Front with all the progressive anti-fascist, anti-imperialist forces inside the U.S.A. that are willing to unite.

3.      Join in the International United Front against fascist repression and imperialist aggression, particularly U.S. fascism and imperialism.

“The International Section of the Black Panther Party is an extension and a growth out of the domestic struggle of our people into the international arena.  Our Minister of Defense said:

            “‘There is not one fascist or reactionary government in the world today that could stand without the support of United States imperialism.  Therefore our problem is international. . .’

            “We proclaim our solidarity with all those struggling jointly with us against colonialism, racism, fascism, imperialism and neo-colonialism.

            “Therefore:

            “We support the just struggle of the Vietnamese people for unification, independence, and national salvation; and, in particular the struggle of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam.

            “We condemn the U.S. imperialist aggressors, their puppets and lackeys who are perpetrating a vicious war against the innocent Vietnamese people.

            “We support the heroic struggle being waged by the Cambodian people against the U.S. imperialist invaders.

            “We condemn the U.S.-CIA backed plot to remove Samdech Morodom Sihanouk, Head of the National United Front of Hampuchon, and we condemn the U.S. puppet Lon Nol-Sirik Matak clique.

            “We support the courageous struggle of the Laotian people for complete independence and national salvation.

            “We condemn the U.S. imperialists and the vicious war of aggression upon the Laotian people.

            “We support the just struggle of the Korean people for unification of their fatherland.

            “We condemn the illegal U.S. imperialist occupation under the United Nations banner of the southern half of Korea; and the South Korean puppet regime of Pak Jung Hi.

            “We support the glorious revolution of the Chinese people.

            “We condemn the fascist, U.S.-backed regime of Chiang Kai-shek upon the Chinese people’s territorial Province of Taiwan.

            “We support the Palestinian people in their just struggle to regain their homeland.

            “We condemn the Zionist-Israeli aggressors, backed by U.S. imperialism, for their illegal occupation of the Palestinian homeland.

            “We support the African people’s struggles for liberation and independence; particularly, the liberation struggles now being waged in the Portuguese colonies, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Nimibia.

            “We condemn the U.S. imperialist-backed government policies of apartheid, colonialism, and neo-colonialism perpetrated throughout Africa.

            “We support the struggles of all the South and Central American countries against U.S. imperialism and neo-colonialism, particularly the dynamic liberation struggle of the Uruguayan people and the Tupamaros.

            “We condemn the U.S. imperialist-fascist puppet regime of Jorge Pacheco.

            “We also support the revolutionary struggle of the Cuban people for socialist construction.

            “We condemn the unceasing acts of aggression by the U.S. imperialists against Cuba, particularly the inhuman economic blockade.

            “We support the heroic struggle of the Japanese people for freedom from fascist repression.

            “We condemn the fascist, militarist puppet regime of Eisaku Sato.

            “We support the struggles of the peoples of the Islands of the Sea; the people struggling inside European imperialist countries; and all peoples fighting for freedom, independence and national salvation.

            “We condemn all the colonialists, racist, fascist and neo-colonialist regimes, puppets and lackeys of imperialism, especially U.S. imperialism.”  Page 16.

Cleaver Urges Mutiny by Black Servicemen

            Eldridge Cleaver is following the example of Lenin and trying to promote mutiny in the armed forces by inciting the blacks to rebellion.  He made a speech over the Voice of Vietnam Radio Hanoi, Democratic Republic of Vietnam, August, 1970, which is published in the Black Panther of September 26, 1970.

            This speech reveals the flexibility and skill of Cleaver.  Its tone is much more restrained than many he has delivered on other occasions, and he makes no mention of his devotion to socialism and communism.  He skillfully exploits black grievances and black solidarity.  He states the ideal action is to kill the officers and black men who are loyal to the United States:

            “If you can get up the courage to do it, you should start ripping off those uncle tomes and those pigs who’re giving you orders to kill the Vietnamese people.  You should start blowing them away.  Throw those hand grenades at them.  And put that dynamite up under their houses, up under their jeeps.  And rip off General Abrams.”  Pages 14 and 15.

            He realizes that many black men will not take such extreme action so he has other suggestions.  These include desertion and organization to demand such things as: 1) Removal of black soldiers from combat; 2) The release of Bobby Seale.  Extracts from his speech are published:

            “I want to say something in particular to the Black GI’s—brothers who’ve gotten tricked off into Vietnam by racist pigs, who have you over here committing murder and genocide, all kinds of atrocious acts against the Vietnamese People.  We’ve been talking to representatives of the Viet Cong, talking to people in North Vietnam, and we’ve been told about what’s been going on and what you’re doing down there.  And I find it difficult to understand what’s going on inside you cats’ heads, because I know that you know about Richard Nixon.  You know that he’s a racist pig, and that he doesn’t care anything about Black People.  You know that a pig like Spiro Agnew is the enemy of Black People; and, that they’re nothing but a bunch of cheap politicians, power-hungry politicians who’re running a game, and who’re fronting you off – have you over here at the risk of your life, and at the risk of many deeper interests, which I want to talk about in a minute.  But they have you going through all these changes, supposedly in defense of America. . . .  What they want to do is to dominate the world and control the world sot that their big corporations can exploit the natural resources of the people and enslave the people, just so they can have power and control the world.  That’s all that’s involved. . . .  There’s no such thing as the Vietnamese people wanting them over here.  They’ve got a few bootlickers over here, like the Thieu-Ky clique in Saigon, and all those other bootlicking puppets they’ve had in the past—chumps like Chiang Kai-shek, sitting off in the middle of the water, talking about he’s the rightful ruler of China.

            “I live in the state of California myself.  And I know Richard Nixon.  I been checking this chump out over the years.  And I wouldn’t risk the life of a fly, of a dead fly for anything that lying chump would say.  And you should know it, if you don’t know, that there’s a war going inside of Babylon, inside the United States of America.  Not a day goes by now that you can’t hear about some pig getting offed by a brother, or some brother or sister getting offed by a pig.  Because Black people have risen up throughout the U.S. and they’re moving for their liberation, and we’re trying to put together a Black Army so that we can take our freedom from these pigs who are fully determined to keep it from us.

            “And in talking to the representatives of the Viet Cong, some of the cats and some of the chicks who’ve actually been down there shooting at you chumps, they tell us that it seems to be more and more Black G.I.’s on the front lines these days.  And from the amount of casualties, the amount of dead bodies coming back to the U.S., we know, and we know historically, that these White racist pigs are fronting the brothers off and sticking them out front, so that they get ripped off.

            “Now the reason for this is that in the first place they didn’t want you running around in the streets of the U.S., because of the struggle that’s going on there.  They didn’t want you there because you would have participated in the struggle. . . .  And now that you’re in Vietnam, they’ll train you to be murderers and to use guns and to use hand grenades and all other forms of weapons.  So you know that they don’t want you to go back to Babylon now, with all things that are going on there.  So what they’re doing is programming this thing so that you cats are getting phased out on the battlefield.  They’re sticking you out front so that you’ll get offed.

            “There’s a large anti-war movement in the U.S.  The Congress and the Senate is divided over whether or not the troops should be withdrawn now or later.  People no longer argue about whether or not the war is justified.  Even that foul, perverted pig Nixon doesn’t do it in the U.S.

            “So instead of just walking around on a trip, hoping that you survive, why don’t you do something to insure your survival.  Demand.  You can get together, draw up a petition and send it to the lawyer of the Black Panther Party, Attorney Charles R. Garry.  He’s a Black Panther lawyer, and, he’ll deal with this case, if you cats ask him to do this.  His address is 341 Market Street, San Francisco, California.

            “Another thing I want to let you know about is Brother Huey P. Newton is out of jail. . . .  He’s back on the streets giving leadership to the Black Panther Party again.  And the struggle is really speeding up.  And we need you brothers there to join us in the struggle for the freedom and the liberation of our people. . . .  Our Chairman, Bobby Seale, is in jail right now, and they’re trying to put him on trial for his life in the state of Connecticut, in New Haven.  They want to execute the brother.  And you brothers can create an issue that would be very helpful.  If you would get a petitions together and get all the brothers—not only the brothers, but the White cats there too, anybody that can relate to reality—get them to sign this petition.  And send copies of it to Charles R. Garry, our attorney.  And send it to the NAACP.  It doesn’t matter who you send it to, but just make some noise about this.

            “Also, if you have enough soul and if you have yourself together, instead of stumbling around down there until you get ripped off—and these cats will rip you off—you should desert—if you don’t want to do anything else.

            “One of the important things that we’re confronted with these days is: they take these cats to Vietnam, turn them into cold-blooded, vicious murderers, and then take them back to the U.S. and put them on the police forces.  And turn them loose on the Black community.  And we have to contend with that.  And they’re treating us the same way they want to treat the Viet Cong. . . .

            “They’ve picked up some techniques and they’re treating those pigs the same way the Viet Cong are treating you fools down there right now.

            “We recognize you to be the potential revolutionaries who could bring about a lasting change in the U.S.

            “All power to the people!  Revolutionary power to the soldiers in Vietnam—Who should be in the United States killing pigs like Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, and all those other war-mongering dogs who’re getting our brothers killed in Vietnam.  All Power to the People.”  Pages 14 and 15.

COMMUNIST VERSUS COMMUNIST

            One test of the validity of a program which promises peace and harmony for the entire world is the measure of peace and harmony it can produce among its own devotees.  Communism fails this test dismally.  Different branches of the communist movement fight each other fanatically.  A recent example is the report by Victor Perlo, chief economic spokesman of the American Communist Party on the treatment he received from the Trotskyite Communists at a left-oriented economic conference entitled “Capitalism in the 70’s.”  The conference was held at the Catholics Economics Institute in Tilburg, Holland.  Perlo reports in the Daily World, Thursday, October 1, 1970, Page 6:

            “A few months ago the Belgian Trotzkyite Ernest Mandel was again refused a visa to speak in the United States.  This time – as I recall – the State Department advocated granting the visa, but Attorney General Mitchell overruled it.  A wide variety of organizations, including the U.S. Communist Party, is supporting the appeal now before the courts.

            “Mitchell and his loquacious wife are the political Neanderthals of the Nixon Administration, from whom the most outrageous and the most idiotic actions may be expected.

            “But a few weeks ago in Tilburg, Holland, Professor Mandel dropped his suave academic manner.  He joined with his political sidekicks, Andre Gorz of France and Elmar Altvater of West Germany, to organize a gang of political Neanderthals to try to suppress somebody else’s freedom to speak.

            “I was the somebody else.  And the attempt was made because I presented the viewpoint of the U.S. Communist Party and the world Communist movement on the perspective developments of the coming decade.

            “In essence, Mandel, Gorz and Altavater used the same arguments against me that Mitchell used against Mandel.  And they were motivated by the same basic drives – a fierce hatred of the Soviet Union and the Communists.

            “They used the same tactics as I have seen used many times by Legionnaires and Birchites trying to break up peace meetings and prevent anti-war speakers from being heard.

            “Fortunately, the West European Trozkyites, et al., do not have state power in Holland.  The essential power was exercised by the 1,000 participants in the left-oriented economic conference – Capitalism in the 70s – held at Tilburg.  Most of the participants were Dutch students.  By overwhelming votes, and counteractions they rebuffed Mandel and his associates.

            “Some details were reported in a Daily World news story (9/24).  To review briefly, the Trotzkyite clique tried:

1.      To prevent my talk by calling a side meeting at the same time.  Less than one percent walked out of the packed hall to attend it, however.

2.      To break up my talk with organized whistling, interruptions, jeering.  This was rebuffed by the audience.

3.      To get passage of a slanderous resolution denouncing Perlo and the Soviet Union.  This was voted down by a margin of at least 4 to 1, and perhaps as high as 8 to 1.  There was only a show of hands, no teller vote.

4.      To block publication of my talk in the book of conference proceedings – this was defeated by a similar margin.

“The clique expected an easy victory.  The conference was held at the Catholics Economic Institute, traditionally one of the most conservative in Holland.  Following a militant student strike two years ago, the student body and part of the faculty were radicalized, and consider themselves Marxists.  But their Marxist “authorities” have been exclusively people like Mandel and Sweezy.  There wasn’t a single item from any Communist Party author on the conference literature tables.  And the speakers’ list at the conference was overweighted by anti-Communist leftists.

            “So this was a confused body of young people, militant and anti-imperialist, but steeped in anti-Soviet, anti-Communist Party, anti-working class propaganda.

            “My talk, presenting a contrary view, not only in general, but on such specific questions as Czechoslovakia, was a first exposure to many.  It couldn’t change the views of the majority on such critical questions.

            “But they were turned off by the goon tactics of the Trotzkyites.  They believed in the conference call, for unity of anti-imperialist forces – a line stressed in my speech.  And they acted accordingly.  They saved the conference from being converted into a propaganda platform for U.S. imperialism.”

CASTRO DESCRIBES CONDITIONS IN CUBA

            “If a man sees that the roof in a factory is leaking and things have been getting wet for such a long time, he must have a very deep conviction to believe in the Revolution.  It wouldn’t be hard for him to conclude that this thing is no good, that there is no future for it if five years can go by and a leaky roof in a factory is not repaired.  That is the situation there.

            “We made it a point to visit some of the places mentioned in yesterday’s meeting.  The comrade had stated that men had been there several times and had taken measurements but that nothing more was ever done in four or five years.  I asked Comrade Almeida to visit the place with me to see if we could find an immediate solution to the problem there.  It just so happened it rained while we were on our way to the plant, and after we arrived there it began to rain harder.  As a matter of fact, anybody would think that a description of what actually happens there when it rains hard is a little exaggerated.  It’s really incredible how much water comes pouring in during a cloudburst!  It makes you really appreciate the battle that must be waged by a trade union representative or a Party cadre at a plant where such things as that have been going on for five years.

            “It is a fact that even the finished goods get wet there.  You can see the finished printed matter getting wet, the things we have acquired with foreign exchange being ruined.  The machinery isn’t helped any by the moisture, either, and there’s a danger of accidents being caused by short circuits in the electrical wiring and things like that.

            “Then what?  This has been going on for five years.  It makes you wonder how anyone can speak about saving, economizing on foreign exchange and making an effort to attain development and promote the economy to 400 workers at a plant where nothing has been done about a leaky roof and merchandise is being ruined as a result.

            “Undoubtedly, such a situation makes the work of the Party and the trade union very difficult indeed.”  Granma, Havana, September 20, 1970, Pages 2 and 3.

A DRIVING LESSON IN RED CHINA

            “Only by giving prominence to proletarian politics, doing a good job of ideological revolutionization, putting politics in command of technique and revoolutionization in command of mechanization, can we deal with various complicated situations, overcome all sorts of difficulties and successfully fulfill our tasks.”  From Dialectics Applied in Driving Safely, Peking Review, September 25, 1970, Page 11.

THE JEWISH RIGHT

            The Christian Anti-Communism Crusade is always encouraged to find other groups active in the fight to preserve a society which allows freedom of choice from the onslaught of the totalitarian barbarians such as the communists.  One such society is The Jewish Right, 11816 Goshen Avenue, Suite 10, West Lost Angeles, California 90049.  The chairman is Rabbi Chaim I. Etner, the president Barney Finkel, M.D., and the executive director Georgia M. Gabor, M.A.  They would welcome correspondence and support.
