Show TIE UTAH INDEPENDENT October 16, 1970 9 THE BLACK SEPARATIST MOVEMENT (Continued from page 4) State Department in Washington, D. C., to make a formal demand for 200 billion dollars in damages (the amount has since been doubled) and the of five Southern states to the Republic of New Africa. In all of this there seemed a slight conflict of interest, since Richard Henry is an employee of the United States government and senes as a technical writer for the Army Tank Auto Command at the Detroit Arsenal. Raymond E. Willis is the Minister of Finance. He is to have the job of distributing reparations. He states that every American Black is entitled to $10,-00and from this amount $4,000 will be given to the individual while $6,000 will be retained by the Republic of New Africa. Joan Franklin has been appointed as Minister of Justice. She is supposed to submit claims to certain international tribunals charging that the United States has failed to incorporate its Black people into the nation as bona fide citizens and that reparations are therefore due them as the result of past and continuing oppressions. Mwesi Chui has been appointed Deputy Minister of Defense. Chui says his ministry has approval for the expansion of the Black Legion and the establishment of an officers candidate school. He states: We will raise an army, a police force, and, if needed, an air force and navy. If necessary, well train abroad, then return with aircraft and missiles. Were preparing, defensively, for the war that will surely take place. con-signme- nt 0, THE TACTICAL STRATEGY OUTLINED As far back as 1967 a Conference of Black Power met in Newark, N. J., and passed a resolution which demanded a national dialogue on the desirability of partitioning the U.S. into two separate and independent nations. There was a roar of applause when the resolution was approved. The Left-win- g Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara estimates that 30 of the Black citizens who live in the slums of Los Angeles" are advocates of separatism. This, however, smacks of wishful thinking rnd propaganda since, historically, American Blacks have never responded' in substantial quantities to any plan designed to remove them from the advantages of living inside the United States. - When Robert Sherrill interviewed Milton Henry for Esquire Magazine (January, 1969), the question was asked concerning the tactical strategy of setting up die Republic of New Africa in the deep South. Henry acres in replied: We have already bought a hundred sufficient Mississippi. That isnt much land, but it is for a base headquarters. When asked how many Blacks would be mobilized in Mississippi to take over politically he replied: It wont have to be many. With a small movement of million people we can do it. There are less than three more people in Mississippi and the Blacks are already than forty percent. In some counties they are fifty to seventy-fiv- e percent. Having a majority isnt meaningful until the day comes when we have enough our .people standing at the polls with guns to protect vote. Henry was then asked if they intended to seize the ballot machinery by democratic methods or by force. He states: Nothing is really peaceful. We may have to use arms. WHAT ABOUT THE RISK OF CIVIL WAR? . guerrillas within the metropolitan areas black men, armed. Say we started taking over Mississippi which we are capable of doing right now and the United States started to interfere. Well, our guerrillas all over the country would strike. Our second-strikcapability would be to prevent the United States Armed Forces from working us over, not the local forces apparently Henry was asked whether or not they thought they could whip the U.S. Army in case of a confrontation. He replied, With the aid of nuclear weapons from our allies, such as China, sure we could. China could never help us until we could show that we were But we capable of a separate, independent existence. could show that by controlling the land mass. We could show it by the actual fact that we were there and had a majoritv of the people and were not subChina would back us ject to U. S. jurisdiction. Then with missiles. But we dont want to fight. Its better to have nice relations. We would only have to neutralize the U. S. Army, not fight it. We dont want another Vietnam, flames and napalm. Neutralizing the U.S. is the only way Castro could survive, and thats the way we would do it, too. Robert Sherrill asked Henry what they had in the way of retaliating fire power to fall back on until they could be sure of Chinas help. He replied: Weve got second-strik- e power right now in our The by Ogden Kraut e. . Great Wall meaning the local police. The local forces couldnt compete with our forces. We can handle them. The second-strik- e capability already exists, and all the' United States has to do to find out is to make the wrong move. The guerrillas Will be operative until we take possession of the physical land. Ultimately, when we have the land, we will get the missiles from around the world. Finally, Henry was asked why he thought the Republic of New Africa, even if it possessed the land, would be allowed to secede when the Confederacy was not allowed to do so. This was Henry's reply: Its a different situation. The South could be defeated separately, but if the whites defeat our objectives, the country will be ruined in the process. There are a sizeable number of people who want separation, land. They the U. S. Armed Forces arent going to win in Vietnam and they cant win in the United States. We can fight from within. How are they going to get us out of here? Where would they make the guns to shoot us the United States? Do you think we are just going to let them keep on making guns? How will they transport their guns and soldiers on railroad trains? The United States can be destroyed. on, PLANS FOR A MARXIST REPUBLIC OF NEW AFRICA The great wall of China is one of the most astounding feats in the history of engineering. Built many centuries ago to keep out the invading Tartars, it became the longest fortification ever built. Over a million men labored with stone, earth, and brick tlirough valleys, over mountains, and across plains for a distance of over 1500 miles-f- ar enough to reach across the United States from Canada to Mexico. The wall is over twenty feet thick at its base and tapers up to a height of feet. The top is paved twenty-fiv- e with bricks as a roadway for horsemen; and forty foot towers for watchmen were stationed about every two hundred and fifty yards. Near each town or city was a massive well-guard- ed gate. . The great wall appeared to be an impregnable defense against the enemy. But, three times this massive fortification was There is no doubt about the kind of nation Williams and Henry would create if they were given five Southern states and 400 billion dollars with which to do it. The political climate in the proposed Republic of New Africa would duplicate the totalitarian dictatorship of Fidel Castro. The official proclamation by Robert F. Williams describes the Republic of New Africa as a Democratic socialist economy wherein the exploitation of man by man will be abolished. But, of course, democratic socialism is the term Marx used to describe his dictatorship of the proletariat set up by peaceful means. He used the word Communism as tne means of setting up the dictatorship quickly through revolution, but when Communism was outlawed he said the tactic should be to take over political and economic power by democratic means. This is what he called democratic social-ism. breached by the enemy, not by by bribing breaking it down-b- ut the gatekeepers! During the past thirty years America lias built a massive defense system which lias cost over one trillion dollars. We have created wonders in the field of science which have sent data re- cording rockets around the world, past the sun and by the planets of Venice and Mars. Atomic fission and 'nuclear bombs coupled with chemical, biological, and radiological means of warfare have created defensive means more frightening than any nightmare movie. Ingenious com-puto- rs Milton Henry was much more precise when he was asked to descrilie the democratic socialist state which they are planning. He said the proposed Black Republic would be limited to one political party. He said opposition parties would not be allowed and the people would not be allowed to pick their government officials by popular vote because The persons responsible for bringing that government into existence are entitled to have some say about who is going to run the government. He thought the pattern could be lilieralized to allow some participation by the people after perhaps thirty or forty years. There would be compulsory and universal military service. There would also be absolute censorship as in Russia. When asked what would happen if a person decided to editorialize against some government decision, Henry replied: You would be in trouble. That kind of freedom of the press cannot be justified. The Russians are right in that area. You have to think about what theyre saying. When they start censuring people for putting out literature, theyre right in that. You cant have people directing the minds of the counter-revolutiona- ry young in this fashion. Henry is very frank in admitting that the Republic of New Africa would be an apartheid, racist admistra-tioIt. would be a Black Power government and Henry says any white who decided to stay in the five are capable of calculating in a few moments facts which would require a team of men over eighty years to accomplish. Strange and miraculous detection devices in radar, sonar, and other unseen transmissions make it almost impossible for an enemy to hide on land, under the ocean or far into space. Our scientific means of defense seem to be impregnable. In the coming years will we learn that the great American defense system was worthless? Will we learn some day that some men in executive, judicial and legislative positions had betrayed their country? Similarly like the great wall of China our. great defense system may fail because we could not trust our gatekeepers!. n. Sourthem states would have to be willing to accept that principle if they remained. This would mean, of course, that they would not only be completely subor--. dinate to a Black Power administration, but that they would live out their fives as a second-clas- s minority.
