Show Looking I Ahead mk" Dr. George S. Benson mk 4ai President NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM (he war in the clearest sense of the word." Focal Point: Campuses Cleaver clearly rejects the call, voiced by Stokley Car-michael, Car-michael, for an all-Black revolution. revo-lution. He sets forth the plan which the Communist agents in America have pushed for decades: "Black people, Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Indians, Eskimos, virtually every ethnic group including poor white people and also middle class college students we all find ourselves in the position where our lives are manipulated and controlled by those who have advantaged social position . . . Today, as always, the struggle of the exploited ex-ploited people within the United States is taking place on all fronts, but the most sensational and explosive clashes are being centered and focused more and more on the college campus and on the high school campuses." This is precisely what highly qualified intelligence men, from government agencies, Congressional investigating investi-gating committees, and metropolitan metro-politan police departments throughout the nation told the McClellan Committee: "We are faced, on campuses and in the streets, with armed revolution; it is serious; it is a part of the international Communist plan; it is growing, grow-ing, worsening ... it is virtually vir-tually unchallenged." The press coverage was encouraging encourag-ing but still wholly inadequate. The facts about the armed revolution underway in the United States are the most important facts in our world today for every American. Yet, these facts were censored out of many influential papers, were downplayed in most of the others. Television covered only a few dramatic highlights. high-lights. America generally continues con-tinues to hide its head from the clear and present danger. Will we open our eyes in time? THE REVOLUTIONARIES' BUGLE Eldridge Cleaver, Black Panther leader, a convicted felon hiding out in Communist Cuba to escape return to the California penitentiary, has surfaced long enough in print to restate the revolutionary goals of all the revolutionary gangs and organizations now operating in our country. In The Black Panther newspaper he sends up from Castro's Communist guerrilla warfare training center a 4,000 word article embracing the Communist Commu-nist ideology as set forth by V. I. Lenin, father of 20th Century Communism. Cleaver has become the oracle for most of the revolu-' tionary groups a theoretician theoretic-ian glorified no less than Che Guevara (the guerilla tactician), tactic-ian), Mao Tse-tung (the political politi-cal activist) and Ho Chi Minh (master organizer of "people's" "peo-ple's" war). His long article is a Communist call for the overthrow over-throw of the United States by military revolution, and an admonition to the comrades to keep the strife and turmoil boiling on college campuses in preparation for revolutionary revolution-ary D day. This is "Student Unrest?" Because Cleaver's every word is a command for SDS, the Black Panther Party, and the conglomeration of other revolutionary groups working to overthrow the U.S.A., it is well for all Americans to see the words in print. Here are excerpts from Cleaver's article: arti-cle: "Revolution and Education." Educa-tion." "What we have to realize above all else, is that our enemy, and that which we in fact are struggling against is not an individual college president presi-dent or high school principal, or a board of regents or the board of education, but it's the entire social structure, we're struggling against the capitalist capital-ist system . . . "The process of breaking out of a set of social arrangements, arrange-ments, of a social organization that is killing us, this process is named revolution: we are revolting and rebelling and moving against a system that is our enemy . . . (Note: Much of the press still calls this "student unrest.") "In order to transform the American social order, we have to destroy the present structure of power . in the United States; we have to overthrow the government . . . So we're out to destroy this, to smash this machinery and to erect new machinery, but new machinery cannot be erected until the present machinery is destroyed." (student (stu-dent unrest?) "Violent Overthrow" "It is not the task of revolutionaries revol-utionaries to keep their heads up in the sky, wondering about what they would do, when they're in power; what they have to do at the present time is to have their mind centered on destruction, we're out to destroy the present machinery of the ruling class; that is our task and that's what we must be about. And we say that we will do this by any means necessary. We must do this by the only means possible, because the only means possible pos-sible is the means that's necessary, neces-sary, and the only means possible pos-sible is the violent overthrow of the machinery of the oppressive oppres-sive ruling class, (student unrest?) un-rest?) "We must destroy their institutions in-stitutions from which they derive de-rive their power ... we must not get into a bag of thinking that we're involved in a game; a revolution is not a game; it is a war.
