MUHAMMAD S P E A K S

Allah's gift to us B y E m a n u e l Muhammad The Messenger's Eldest Son Part I I Reason accepts whatever he (the Messenger) says; our hearts feel its truth; and the experiences of worldly affairs and observations of the world occurrences a l l go to testify to the truth of every word that flows from his mouth.

If, however, we ourselves try to produce the same or similar work, nothing but failure meets us. H i s nature and . disposition are so good and pure that in a l l affairs his attitude' is that of truthfulness, straightforwardness and nobility.

He never does or utters wrong, nor does he commit any evil. He always instills virtue and r i g h t e o u s n e s s , and practices himself what he preaches to others. No incident of his life shows that his life is not in accordance with his ideal. Neither his word, nor his deed is prompted by any self interest. He suffers for the good of others, and never makes others suffer for his own good.

When it becomes quite clear that such a person is the true Messenger of Allah, then the n a t u r a l c o m m a n d of this realization is that his words should be a c c e p t e d , his instructions followed and his orders obeyed.

It is quite unreasonable to accept a man as Allah's true Messenger, and yet not to believe in what he says or not to follow what he ordains; for your very acceptance of him as Allah's Messenger means that you have acknowledged that what he says is from Allah, and that whatever he does is in accordance with Allah's will and enjoyment.

Now, disobedience ,to him is the disobedience of Allah, and disobedience of Allah leads to nothing but ruin and desolation. Therefore, the very acceptance of the Messenger makes it incumbent on us to bow to his instructions and a c c e p t them without any hesitation whatsoever.

You may not be able to grasp fully the w i s d o m and usefulness of that order, but the v e r y f a c t t h a t an instruction has emanated from the Messenger is sufficient guarantee for its truth, and there can be no room for doubt or suspi cion.

Your inability to understand it is no reason for its having fault or defect; for a common man's understanding is not f a u l t l e s s . I t has i t s own limitations and they cannot be ignored altogether.

It is evident that one who does not know some art thoroughly cannot understand its abilities, but such a person would be a fool to reject what an expert says merely on the plea that he himself d o e s not fully understand the expert.

It is remarkable that in every important worldly affair an expert is needed for advice, and when you turn to the expert you thereafter trust his advice and entirely depend upon it. You rather surrender your own right of judgment and interference and follow him gracefully.

Every ordinary man cannot be a master in a l l arts and crafts of the world.

The proper w a y for an average human being is to do what he can, and in respect of things that he cannot do. use all his wisdom and shrewdness (Continued on page 15)

stages Iranian-Iraqui conflict

By Ali Baghdadi The mid-February artillery, tank and infantry confrontation which resulted in 145 Iraqi and Iranian casualties cannot be regarded as an isolated incident. This and other clashes should be viewed in the context of the over-all Middle E a s t situation, and the Shah of I r a n ' s readiness to serve as deputy sheriff to safeguard the greedy U.S. interest in the region.

S Y R I A ' S R E F U S A L to knuckle under from U.S. pressure for a disengagement agreement on I s r a e l ' s t e r m s w a s m e t with encouragement in Iraq and a pledge to commit a l l Iraqi forces to S y r i a ' s defense.

Moreover, President Sadat's sell-out of his Syrian allies has helped to bring the two ruling r i v a l Arab Bathist Socialist Parties in Syria and Iraq closer together.

Iraq has refused the cease-fire and has called for the resumption of the armed Arab struggle to liberate all occupied Arab territories. She also describes the Geneva talks as a plot to liquidate the Palestinian problem.

The disengagement between Syria and Israel is viewed by Washington as essential for the start of negotiations in the so-called Geneva Peace Conference, and for the success of U . S . Imperialism in dominating the highly sensitive region.

T H E S E C R E T U . S . agreement signed by Egypt and Israel w i l l be inoperative unless Syria joins in the disengagement plans. Sadat wants to drag the Syrians as well as the Palestinians into the talks so that he w i l l not be isolated or accused of treason.

Iraqi attitude, of course, encourages Syria to resist surrendering to the imperialists, Zionists and Arab defeatists. Iraq desires to help in the battle of destiny against Israeli expansionism and aggression and prompted its leaders to come to some kind of reconciliation with the Shah of Iran.

The three-year-long broken diplomatic ties

between the two neighboring states were restored last October. This helped to free two Iraqi divisions stationed at the Iranian borders and helped the transfer of these forces westward toward Israel.

H E R E I S HOW the game of nations theory is played by the U . S . government. The Shah of I r a n was asked to help his Western allies by provoking Iraq to a degree which would force Baghdad to meet the immediate danger on its frontiers.

The objective of this military maneuvering is to convince Syria that Iraq is neutralized and in no position to help. I t is important to remember that Richard Helms, the former CIA director, is the present U.S. Ambassador to Tehran, Iran.

The U . N . buffer-zone between Egypt and Israel w i l l strengthen T e l A v i v ' s position and allow it to divert its southern troops northward toward Syria.

This is not the first colonial service the dictator of I r a n has rendered to his imperialist masters. Three battalions of Iranian Sea Ranger Infantry (marines), supported by armed helicopters are fighting guerrillas in the Oman province of Dhufar at the southernmost part of the Arabian Gulf.

The British officered Omani army of Sultan Qabbus, â&#x20AC;˘ an Arab reactionary leader, has welcomed the Iranian invasion. Meanwhile, the revolutionary fighters belonging to the Front for the Liberation of Southern Arabia have full control of the interior regions of Dhufar.

T H E I R A N I A N participation to aid the Omani of mercenaries is proof that the popular revolution in Dhufar has scored great victory.

The military power the Shah is exercising outside Iran is intended to divert his people's attention from internal problems. The guerrilla war against his corrupt, oppressive regime is gaining popular support and momentum.

The Muhammad Hospital B y Dr. Abdul Salaam Temple No. 2 Part I I The Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad is a ^jiritual leader and teacher. He has been given a l l the b a s i c k n o w l e d g e , w i s d o m and understanding necessary to make a new people out ol the Black man in America, by God. Himself, and the evidence is clear that he has been about his job. The Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad fully shares these things with us.

It is not he who wants to perform the functions necessary to save and prolong the life of our people in a hospital environment. It is you. my B'ack professional brothers and sisters, whom the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad wants to exer ise your knowledge and skill in a hospital setting second to none, designed specifically with th* needs of the Black Nation in mind and Divinely 'nspired—the M U H A M M A D hospital.

Keep in mind now. that when we say the Muhammad hospital, we think on the Divine: we think on a man who has spent all of his awakened life tabout 43 years i wrestling with us to give us life, to give us Freedom. Justice and Equality — to give us Islam.

When we say the Muhammad hospital, we think on a man whose every thought, night and day. is what must be done to free our people — a man whose very essence is of Divine — a man whose spirit is so vibrant, whose wisdom is so limitless that a l l who come in his presence know that here indeed is a man who must have met with the one true and living God. T h u s , the M u h a m m a d hospital would necessarily be a special hospital. Its inception would be Divine and its purpose the same. Even without a hospital, the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad has long demonstrated his ability to promote health (mental and physical) among some of the sickest people the world has ever known—the so-called American Negro.

Muhammad is a sure thing so let's prove we're with Muhammad.

Keep in mind now. we are not a spooky people.

We don't look for anything to drop out of the skythat wasn't sent into the sky. It takes more than good wishes, rhetoric and "we're with you Muhammad."' to build a hospital. I t takes money —send some now.

"Dedicated to Freedom, Justice, and Equality for the socalled *Segro. The Earth Belongs to Allah. "

Only two alternatives B y Alonzo 4X Copy Editor I l l u s o r y a l t e r n a t i v e s are rapidly falling away, leaving but two: The way of the white world, or the Nation of Islam under the Divine Leadership of the Hon. E l i j a h Muhammad.

At one time, the Black man had a number of so-called options and v a r i e t i e s of Blackness to chose from, but at this hour he is beginning to recognize that as a false notion. The realization that there is only one ultimate positive or negative direction is becoming widely manifest.

Brothers and sisters I ' v e known, who I thought were serious about dedicating their lives to Black people are either among the ranks of the Nation of Islam or backing out of the search for Blackness altogether.

Some of them are saying insane things like: " I ' v e been into that Black thing, and now I ' m into something else.*' Noteworthy in this time of "the manifestation of defects," is the tremendous upsurge in the number of educated brothers and sisters joining the ranks of the Nation of Islam.

In every city, doctors, lawyers, accountants, computer analysts, psychologists, etc., are flocking to the doors of M u h a m m a d ' s T e m p l e s of I s l a m . F o l l o w e r s of the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad can be found heading various a c a d e m i c d e p a r t m e n t s in some of A m e r i c a ' s most prestigious universities.

Seriously revolutionary Black people, who at one time felt that America had to be brought down with a gun, are now on the corners selling Muhammad Speaks n e w s p a p e r s , after reaching the conclusion that there is no better ammunition than Mr. Muhammad's word.

At the same time, though, many Blacks are returning to the unconscious- type apathy

that for so long has cluttered our history with needless nonproduetion. The clamor for •Black Studies'' and demands for relevance have quieted down to sporadic outbursts about the lack of financial aide.

T h e p a r t y i n g e t h i c has returned to Black youth on the college campuses and the '"neo-process" is r a p i d l y moving the " A f r o " out of the scene of the Black "fast crowd.

Statistics r e v e a l unprecedented "information that the number of Black suicides and mental breakdowns are going up. Unisex clothing, one of the most salient signs of this culture's dissolution, is being sported by " h i p " Black people.

Pornographic movies starring Blacks glare out at us from pages of this country's media, and somewhere, there's some Black "leader"' hailing this as a measure of equality.

Cosmic polarization is taking place. The ultimate dialectical struggle is being waged and many of us are too spiritually fuzzy to understand which way we should go.

The Messenger has often spoken to us of the time when there w i l l be two men standing at a crossroad, each bidding us to go his way.

B y Anna K a r r i e m Part V I What a great lesson this is for we who follow the Divine Teachings of the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad. He was not distracted by the filth and indecency of the world around him.

The God of the Black man and woman in America had heard the the cries and suffering of H i s beloved people and had come to deliver them.

Almighty God Allah took a man in the midst of the Black people he had come to deliver, for he had in him the material necessary for God to use in order to make a Messenger after Himself.

Now, the Messenger of Allah is converting good Black people out of a world of unrighteousness and putting in their hearts the same fiery spirit of the God Who taught h j n .

No wonder Moses fainted when God showed the Divine power He would give Muhammad. Moses knew that he was not equal to the task that God would give H i s last Messenger — Holy Qur'an7:143.

Jesus was not comparable to the spiritual material in Muhammad nor w a s he able to bear the task Muhammad would undertake because he foretold of a Comforter coming after his death who would guide his people into all Truth — J n . 16: 12-13.

The Messenger has taught us that Allah's last Messenger would bring in the O n e n e s s of God and H i s Messenger as well as close up the Judgment. The Messenger teaches us that neither Moses nor Jesus brot^ght in the Oneness of God and H i s Messenger.

At the Saviour's Day meeting of Feb. 26, 1973, the Messenger said, " A l l a h is making me into Himself."

All Praises are due to Allah for the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad.

I pray that .through this article, 1 have portrayed some of the wonderful and loving ways of Almighty God Allah's greatest Messenger because the magnitude of the Messenger's greatness can never be fully told in so few words.

However, I bear witness to his Teachings: " I s l a m is the Circle of P e a c e a n d the D i a m e t e r of Happiness." May Almighty God Allah forever bless you, Dear Holy Apostle.

with 'relevant' oats company CHICAGO The Quaker Oats Company is continuing to woo the Black community into buying more grits through promises of economic assistance aid community responsibility.

LAST YEAR, Quaker announced the airing of a company sponsored Black radio soap opera entitled "Sounds of the C i t y " which is slated for broadcasting this month on some 26 Black radio station across the country.

T h i s year, Quaker has announced the launching of an $84 million economic proposal w i t h Operation P U S H to irfrre.ise minority parti .,. . . withir the company stru> re.

The program — which resulted from several months of discussion between the oats company and P U S H — was disclosed by the Rev. Jesse L .

Jackson. P U S H president, and Robert D. Stuart. J r . .

president of Quaker Oats, during a luncheon at P U S H headquarters here.

A S O U T L I N E D by R e v .

Jackson, the program will create approximately 467 new jobs worth $21 million and increase Quaker's purchase of goods and s e r v i c e s from minority sources to $1.2 million.

It will also include a minority a d v e r t i s i n g a l l o c a t i o n of $702,000. a $21 million minority life insurance program and a $39 million minority banking investment.

Minority construction companies will be used in at least $2 million worth of the company's capital investment plan.

T H E P R O P O S A L also calls for. $180,000 in gifts and research grants to Black and non - white organizations.

P U S H , however, will not be a r e c i p i e n t of such funds, according to Dave Potter, communication director.

What will Quaker Oats get out

of the venture? Unlimited publicity as a big hearted corporation interested in helping solve the v a r i e d problems of minority communities. As in the case of the soap opera. the$84 million program makes "good business sense," according to C h a r l e s C u r r y , the B l a c k manager of Quaker's community relations department.

Arab oil dependent on Anti-Zionist 'leverage' by U.S. B y Alonzo 4X Copy Editor CHICAGOâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Arab states will not lift their oil embargo until the United States exerts its "credible leverage" on Israel to persuade the Zionist, settlerstate to follow U . N . Security Council directives, according to Dr. Clovis Maksoud, special representative from the League of Arab States.

"WHEN WE RECEIVE assurance that the U . S . is unequivocably committed to Israeli withdrawal from lands

occupied since 1967, we will lift the embargo."

Maksoud, a columnist and senior editor of an influential A r a b i c daily, made those remarks at a press conference here, marking the beginning of "an information mission'' in this country.

Sitting firmly atop the crest of rising international Arab prestige. Maksoud was cordial but firm in his assertion that the Arab oil embargo was both p o l i t i c a l l y and m o r a l l y justified. " T h e embargo was instituted

Israeli's anti-African propaganda uncovered B y Lonnie Kashif M.S. Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, D . C . - A Zionist " F r e u d i a n slip.' carried as a caption under a military photo accompanying a

U.S. arming Jordan army AMMAN, JORDAN-The J o r d a n i a n A r m y i s being equipped with sophisticated anti-tank missiles from the United States, according to information released recently.

T H E M A C H I N E R Y is similar to that used by Israeli forces during the October War. However.

Jordanian Government spokesmen would not confirm or deny published reports from Beirut on the activity, but sources indicated that J o r d a n i a n forces had already received the weapons and used them in training.

The missile known as a TOW is a tube-launched, opticallytracked, wire-guided weapon capable of knocking out an armored vehicle at several thousand yards.

T H E M O V E marks the first time that the U . S . has provided weapons to an Arab country.

However, s i m i l a r weapons were rushed to Israel as part of the American arms uplift after the fighting broke out in October. The weapon was used with considerable effectiveness by Israeli forces on the Syrian Front, where a reinforcement of Jordanian armor was stationed.

The T O W m i s s i l e is an improved version of the Sovietbuilt Sagger missile, which the Egyptians and Syrians used effectively against Israeli tank forces during the October battle.

major article in the Baltimore J e w i s h T i m e s r e v e a l s the strident antiAfrican mentality of American and Israeli Zionists.

T H E A R T I C L E , published in the Feb. 8 issue of the Zionist p u b l i c a t i o n , presented an analysis of the Egyptian Israeli disengagement pact a n d s u g g e s t e d t h a t the arrangement gives Israel a more defensible frontier. The photo caption, exposing the Zionist's conception of Israel's geo-cultural relationship to the African continent, declared: " U . N . Troops take over A f r i c a n territory f o r m e r l y occupied by Israeli forces."

The "African territory" was of course the Sinai, which Israel had occupied since the 1967 Mid - E a s t War. Although it is true in fact that this is African territory, the unusual admission which focused upon I s r a e l ' s w a r victory over Africans, rather than the common delineation. "Arabs," reveals that although Israel is geographically in Africa, she holds comtempt f o r the designation of Israel as an African state.

The caption c l e a r l y sets Israel apart, in context, from Africa. Israel as an African state could not exult over occupying African territory as the caption revealed. Again, unwittingly, the caption proves that Israel is, in fact, an interloper on African territory, s i n c e the Z i o n i s t s t a t e , contemptuous of an African designation actually straddles several acres of African land.

In the past, Zionists have been careful not to reveal that their i m p e r i a l i s t designs, called "'defense of I s r a e l , " were conceived as " I s r a e l versus A f r i c a . " rather than " I s r a e l vs the Arabs."

The articulate Arab spokesman said many Arab states had "acquiesced to the i n e v i t a b i l i t y of the U . S . underwriting Israel's existence, but we cannot tolerate the underwriting of Zionist expansionism.''

WHEN PRESSED by newsmen on whether he was concerned about the possibility of the oil embargo plunging the industrialized parts of the w o r l d into an e c o n o m i c depression. Maksoud replied that the nations affected by the embargo (the U . S . Holland.

Rhodesia. Portugal and South Africa) were either racist in policy or supportive of racist regimes. He said the threat of depression in those countries could be e l i m i n a t e d by changing the nature of their policy.

"In most countries, discrimination is an embarrassment, something to be a s h a m e d of; but i n countries like Israel, South Africa, Portugal and Rhodesia, discrimination is a matter of policy."

Maksoud strongly condemned the "intellectual terrorism of Zionist propaganda that has always linked criticism of Israel to anti-Semitism."

He said this "intellectual t e r r o r i s m " has served to silence many who have wanted to speak out against Israel's continuing violation of United Nation's resolutions. " B u t . ' ' he added, "the tide is changing. Other nations are i n c r e a s i n g l y beginning to speak up against I s r a e l ' s illegal actions."

M A K S O U D N O T E D that African-Arab relations have improved significantly, subsequent to the October War. " A g r o w i n g n u m b e r of African states are in solidarity with u s , " he claimed.

There have been reports in recent weeks, that African nations were having misgivings about severing relations with Israel. These nations were reportedlydismayed because the increased price of oil affected them even more adversely than it did industrialized nations.

Maksoud acknowledged that there was a problem in that regard, but, he said, the ArabAfrican Development Fund that has just been established, would provide over a halfbillion dollars to help meet the

HE DOWN-PLAYED the disagreement some radical Arab groups had concerning the diplomatic flexibility of Egypt's Anwar el-Sadat. He said Sadat has emerged as the most influential Arab leader and that the majority of the Arab countries were willing to let him take the diplomatic initiative in regaining occupied territorv.

As Maksoud spoke, halfway across the world Sadat was engineering a meeting between L i b y a ' s Col. Muammar e l Qaddafi (generally regarded as the radical fringe) and Saudi Arabia's King F a i s a l (the conservative fringe).

The onset of diabetes is usually slow and insidious.

When the symptons of diabetes do begin to appear, they may be so m i l d that they go unrecognized for a long time.

A patient may find himself drinking more water to satisfy an unusual thirst and urinating more often and in larger amounts than normal. At the same time there is a marked

These tests measure the level of blood-sugar after fasting, after a meal, and after eating a certain standard dose of sugar respectively.

Occasionally a person's symptoms may go unrecognized for years until finally this condition is brought to light by the long-term complications that arise.

Untreated, diabetes characteristically causes an i n c r e a s e in the r a t e of arteriosclerosis or "hardening of the arteries." This condition impairs circulation and can be said to be the cousin of or predisposes one to high blood p r e s s u r e , i n c r e a s i n g the likelihood of suffering a stroke, athrosclerotic heart disease

and h e a r t a t t a c k , k i d n e y disease progressing to renal insufficiency.

We have already mentioned the feeling of numbness and tingling in the extremities; this is an indication of nervous system involvement. The disease process may go so far a s to a f f e c t t h e very personality of the patient or cause failing vision due to the early development of catracts, a milky hazziness which progressively developes in the lens of the eye and makes it less transparent.

V i s i o n m a y be further impaired with the development deposits and pinpoint areas of bleeding in the retina which is the light receptive portion of the eye.

These are some of the longterm c o m p l i c a t i o n s of diabetes, however, the more immediate and dangerous complication of uncontrolled diabetes which can rapidly progress to death is diabetic coma. S i m p l y , this state r e s u l t s f r o m the b o d y ' s inability to utilize sugar which has become excessive in the blood stream.

The body begins to "burn" fats and protein as substitutes for sugar. When the acid breakdown products accumulate from burning fats a condition of acidosis occurs which leads to coma. There is no emergency treatment for this state other than • immediate hospitalization.

Islands has prompted the Portuguese Government to offer the United States a military base in Mozambique in exchange for more vocal and political support.

AS T H E L A R G E S T colonial force in Africa, Portugal is attempting to negotiate a fiveyear renewal of an agreement which would give the U . S . a valuable base in the Azores off the coast of West Africa.

To assure continued military and economic support from the U.S., Portuguese Ambassador Joao Hall Themido has offered the American government a base on the other side of the

Although there is a six month period which expires in August to complete the negotiations, it has been learned that the U . S . is less than anxious about the Portuguese proposal as continued U . S . support of Portugal could cause political problems.

'Behavior C o n t r o l ' : New debate rages Federal fund curtailment

Psychiatrists sound alarm on $13.5 million N.C. project

(M.S. New Y o r k Bureau)

(M.S. Atlanta Bureau)

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A recently announced Justice Department decision allegedly designed to curtail federal funds for ongoing "Behavior Control" programs has set off a top-level debate here among U.S. prison authorities, participating university communities and the L a w Enforcement Assistance Administration. ( L E A A ) T H E D E C I S I O N , announced

by Donald E . Santarelli, L E A A director, could reportedly cut back several thousand dollars already promised to states and universities participating in the g o v e r n m e n t backed "mental control'" programs. m u _

D U R H A M , N.C. Three prominent psychiatrists took center - stage in a series of meetings debating the negative aspects of "Behavior Modification," alleged to be programmed for the unfinished $13.5 million Federal Center for C o r r e c t i o n a l R e s e a r c h at Butner. The center, when completed will house a staff of 211 persons to serve 340 inmates.

nearly $900 million a year to state and local law enforcement agencies, has — until the recent announcement — actively encouraged and funded programs around the country purportedly designed to chemically or surgically control the convicted and potential " c r i m i n a l s . " The growing indignation of the A m e r i c a n public upon learning of the burgeoning control programs, which may go beyond experimentation done now p r i m a r i l y upon Blacks confined to prisons and mental hospitals, perhaps to all political dissidents, has obviously forced the L E A A to announce reversal of its

policies.

T H E D E C I S I O N also follows a similar change announced r e c e n t l y by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to cut off its controversial behavior modification program know as "Project Start."

I n announcing its new policy, the L E A A also revealed that a U n i v e r s i t y of California project may be the first of the programs affected.

That projects, costing $1.5 million called for experiments to be conducted at an abandoned Nike missile site in the hills near Los Angeles.

According to L E A A officials, $750,000 of the money was to be supplied by the state, while

the Federal government would agree to matching funds.

Another p r o g r a m h e a v i l y funded by the L E A A , which could suffer cuts is a Pennsylvania B u r e a u of Corrections project designed to "change the attitude and behavior of 125 residents of the institution."

confronting Dr. Martin Groder. psychiatrist and warden - designate for the Butner Center, over the issue of the p r o p o s e d human experimentation program for the center.

I r v Joyner asked if developing social control in G r o d e r ' s therapeutic community called for the inmate "to submit to

confinement" rather than for adjustment to the outside world.

HE FURTHER questioned G r o d e r on the program document which listed minority groups and alcoholics as passive types that would be at Butner for intensive study to determine w h a t k i n d of correctional program is effective.

Dr. Groder said he rejected the "original plan" of behavior rp^parph rtn portoin Httioc of -~ •"• * "--A prisoners. I n fact, he even renamed the center from B e h a v i o r M o d i f i c a t i o n to Correctional Research.

Dr. Peter Breggin, executive director of the Washington C e n t e r for the Study of Psychiatry, and considered the " W i l l i a m K u n t s l e r " of the profession, scoffed at Groder's opening s t a t e m e n t and attacked him on several issues i n c l u d i n g : changing draft phenomenon, voluntary system, psychiatry therapeutic practice, psychodrama, start program, Asklepieion and openness.

He said in reference to Groder's changing the original plans, " E v e r y time you find out what they (Bureau of Prisons) are going to do, they change i t . " BREGGIN CALLED Groder's Asklepieion therapeutic community, ''therapeutic totalitarianism.".

MUHAMMAD S P E A K S

Progressive strides of Messenger Muhammad's Chicago labor revealed B y Lonnie Kashif and Alonzo 4X CHICAGO— The Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad, addressing more than 20,000 Black men and women who had come from a l l parts of the United States and several foreign c o u n t r i e s to w i t n e s s the " R i s i n g of the Sun in the W e s t , " began his a n n u a l address this year with a d e t a i l e d a c c o u n t of the tremendous progress of the Nation of Islam over the past years.

R E N D E R I N G T H E account was Bro. Abass Rassoull, the National Secretary who declared, " T h e Messenger is building the foundation."

Bro. Rassoull cited the recent Nation of I s l a m ' s purchase of 2 million tons of fish from Peru, and the continuing arrangement with the shipping industry of that country to transport increasing shiploads of fish to be distributed among the B l a c k people here in America.

"We- expect shipments each month for at least the next year," he said.

This contact with the nations of the earth in trade and human relations is rapidly on the rise for Muslims under the leadership of the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad, Rassoull declared.

" A s the National Secretary of the Nation of Islam, I have traveled a l l around the world, and everywhere that I've gone, the response to the messages that the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad sent me with were tremendous."

RASSOULL SAID that "Japan. Africa, in the Middle E a s t , in South America—they always respond positively."

Noting also that the Messenger is establishing trade routes across the " s t r i p " of ocean between South America and A f r i c a , he s u r p r i s e d the audience in announcing that, "He is also moving toward China." " I n fact, I will be travelling to China very soon—the trip has already been planned."

On the home-front, B r o .

Rassoull announced plans for the Nation's purchase of the South Shore Country Club.

Already he said, $1 million has been deposited "to prove our worthy intent."

Pleasure boats and a large yatch has also been envisioned, Rassoull continued, stressing the benefits and rewards of the labor of the Messenger and his followers, who he said have now established Temples in every major city in the U . S . and several foreign countries.

including Bermuda, J a m a i c a , the Honduras, and even England.

R A S S O U L L , T U R N I N G to the Nation's ventures in mass transportation pointed out that the Muslims now own a fleet of tractor - trailers which traverse the roadways of the U.S. daily. Also at G a r y Ind.. he said, the Nation of Islam owns a fixed aviation station, and plans the purchase of several modern aircraft to accommodate the growing trade and transportation needs for the swelling ranks of Muslims in North America.

Turning to education, the National Secretary spoke proudly of "the University of I s l a m , now in 46 c i t i e s " throughout America, where eager Black children are for the first time receiving formal e d u c a t i o n i n the true knowledge of themselves and others.

The " N a t i o n of I s l a m , " Rassoull continued, will soon be in possession of new major w a r e h o u s e s to store the massive volume of fish and other products of the Nation.

Outlets for these products—some of which are produced domestically on the numerous farms of the Nation in M i c h i g a n . G e o r g i a .

feats are duplicated in many i n s t a n c e s by Messenger Muhammad's followers in other states.

Other major a c c o m p l i s h ments and spectacular plans for the Nation include the near completion of a $2 million office building, the planning of a subsequent one, and the expected purchase or building of a 500-bed hospital—one of the Messenger's long desired goals.

BLACK C A U C U S HEAD Charles B. R a n g e l has been a progressive legislator a n d ardent drug fighter since his election to Congress in 1970.

Anti-drug congressman new Black Caucus head

B y Lonnie Kashif (M.S. Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON.D.C—Harlem Congressman Charles B .

Rangel has been elected as the n e w c h a i r m a n of the Congressional Black Caucus.

He succeeds R e p . L o u i s Stokes, D-Ohio., who had served as chairman during the past two years.

B E C O M I N G T H E third Chairman elected since the caucus' formation, Rangel w i l l bring an " E a s t Coast" flavor to the 13-member body. Rep. Charles Diggs, D-Mich., who served as the caucus' first chairman represented a certain Midwestern c o n s e r v a t i s m and S t o k e s b r o u g h t i n t h e i d e a of sophisticated barter politics — "no permanent friends."

R a n g e l , a polished c i t y oriented politician is expected to quicken the pace of caucus activity to match New Y o r k style barter—less conservative t h a n t h e s t y l e of h i s Midwestern predecessors.

Rangel considers his election " a challenge." Hesaidthat his p r i m a r y goal w i l l be the ''continuation of our commitment to the poor and the politically powerless."

The New Y o r k congressman, who stepped into the shoes of the late Adam Clayton Powell as H a r l e m ' s spokesman, has put h i s . m a j o r l e g i s l a t i v e efforts into the fight to contro the international drug traffic w h i c h has wreaked havoc particularly in his district upon innocent Black youth.

in finding out the proper man to guide and help him, and after finding out such a man to accept his advice and follow him. When you are sure that a certain person is the best man available for your purpose, you solicit his advice and guidance, and have complete trust in him.

To interfere with him at every step and say, " M a k e me understand it before you proceed any f u r t h e r , " is evidently unwise. When you engage a solicitor in any legal case, you do not interfere with him on every turn. Y o u rather have faith in him and follow his advice.

For your medical treatment you go to the doctor and follow his instructions. You neither poke your nose in medical matters nor test your skill in logic by debating with the doctor. This is the proper attitude in life. So it must be done in the case of religion.

It is incumbent upon you therefore, to look for a True Messenger-of Allah; and you will have to use utmost care, perception and shrewdness in your search for him, for if you choose a wrong man for. a true Messenger, he w i l l put you on the wrong track. If, however, after properly weighing and measuring a l l considerations, you decide definitely that a certain person is really Allah's Messenger then you must trust him completely and obey a l l his instructions faithfully.

It is clear that the Right Path for man is that and that alone which the Messenger declares to be so and the correct way of life is only that which he inf ormsus to be from Allah.

F r o m this, one can easily understand that to have faith in the Messenger and to obey and follow h i m i s a b s o l u t e l y necessary for a l l of us, and that a man who puts aside the

Messenger's instructions and liiiViSclf i i i e s to carve out a way for himself, deviates from the right path, and surely goes astray.

In this matter men are guilty of strange errors. There are men who admit the honesty and t r u t h f u l n e s s of the Messenger, but do not have complete faith in him, nor do they follow him in the affairs of their life.

Such m e n a r e not only unbelievers, but also behave in a foolish and unnatural way; for not to follow the Messenger after admitting him to be true, means that one knowingly follows untruth — and what stupidity can be greater than that?

Some people declare, "We do not need a Messenger for our guidance and can ourselves find out the way to truth." This too is a faulty view.

This path begins from man and goes straight to Allah (God), and that path can evidently be one and only one; all other paths would lead us astray. This straight path has b e e n i n d i c a t e d by the Messenger, and there is and can be no straight path besides that.

The man who ignores that path and seeks other errands is only deceived by his own imagination. He chooses a way and imagines it to be right but he soon finds himself confused and is lost in perplexities and wanderings created by his own imagination.

" And above a l l . the true Messenger is raised by Allah (God) Himself. It is He who has sent him to us to convey His message to His people. It is His command to repose faith in the Messenger and to follow him. Thus, one who refuses to believe in Allah's Messenger, actually refuses to follow Allah's Commandments and becomes a rebel.

D r . F . D . M o o n is a deliberate, slow speaking, articulate man, who stays up, he says, until midnight reading vast amounts of literature.

While attending the University of Chicago, where he received his Masters degree. Dr. Moon first came in contact with the Teachings of the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad. Messenger of A l l a h , t h r o u g h t h i s newspaper.Muhammad Speaks.

Dr. Moon says that he has high praise for the

D R . MOON toured the f a c i l i t i e s of M u h a m m a d University here 'in Oklahoma City after it was opened in J a n .

1973: he had high praises for the discipline, the cleanliness, and the curriculum at the U n i v e r s i t y . He l i k e d the teacher-pupil ratio in each classroom.

The first Black president of Oklahoma C i t y ' s Board of Education, while serving as a member of the board, but before his e l e c t i o n as president, was one of the many guest speakers at Muhammad University's first annual Educational Benefit which was held at the Oklahoma City Civic Center Music Hall last year.

This writer, along with the many friends of Dr. Frederick Douglass (Moon i. congratulates Dr. Moon for his past performances as an educator in Oklahoma City.

Myers said, " T h e r e is a systematic attempt on the part of the

Immediately after the filing of the suit last year, William Hollowell, who was acting superintendent of the prison then, allowed the Muslim minister. Brother Eugene X Lockhart, to go from camp to camp to counsel M u s l i m inmates and to talk to nonMuslim inmates.

T h e M u s l i m s w e r e also allowed to conduct religious services once a week at the prison. T h e m i n i s t e r w a s allowed access to an office and equipment and the Muslims were allowed a pork -free diet.

Carter, like Mrs. King, praised Mandus portrait, which shows King standing in front of the memorial statue of Lincoln. He also praised his advisers on minority affairs for pressing him on the project.

However, L t . Gov. Lester Maddox suggested that Hank

Aaron's portrait be hung in the capitol instead.

The ceremony was opened with a prayer from the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy. In his prayer, he referred to King as "one of thy servants, one of thy prophets, one of us."

The Klansmen disappeared shortly aftor Abernathy finished the prayer.

B U T NOW, since a c t i n g superintendent William Hollowell has been replaced, all of these rights have been taken away from the Muslim inmates by the new superintendent. Jack K . Reed.

According to sources.

Superintendent Jack K . Reed came to Parchman by way of Soledad Prison in California, w h e r e he w a s a c t i v e i n psychosurgery operations on inmates.

By Alonzo 4X Copy Editor C H I C A G O —The daily bombshells breaking in the U.S. news media concerning the vast array of illegalities in the "Watergate affair" has served to anesthetize rather than activate the average American citizen.

IN A BOOK called "Watergate: C r i m e in the Suites" by Michael Myerson, much of that information is compiled and examined for connecting points. The implications raised by the book's contents are sinister at best, and the current haziness concerning what course to take in prosecuting the perpetrators is extremely difficult to understand.

I n c l u d e d i n the book's information is the following: President Richard M. Nixon's dear friend and confidant.

Charles G . " B e b e " Rebozo had close tics to the late Cuban dictator, Fulgenico Batista.

Indeed, it was Rebozo himself, who introduced a young, fiercely anti-communistic Nixon to Batista.

R e b o z o had extensive financial holdings in Cuba and suffered a severe economic beating when Fidel Castro won

R e b o z o

the small Carribean island. He was a strong supporter of the ill-fated B a y of Pigs invasion of Cuba. As vice president, Nixon was the "action officer" and coordinator of the invasion.

WATERGATE BURGLAR Frank A. Sturgis was a C I A mercenary at the B a y of Pigs.

He w a s also questioned by officials in connection with the 1963 assassination of John F .

Kennedy in Dallas. Tex. Meyer Lansky. the Jewish mobster, had a million-dollar contract out on Fidel Castro because Castro outlawed gambling in Cuba, and Lansky was the country's gambling czar.

Alabama's George Wallace decided to run as a harmless D e m o c r a t i n s t e a d of a p o w e r f u l , vote - s n a t c h i n g i n d e p e n d e n t i n the 1972 election because of a deal that the Nixon adminstration would d r o p i t s p r o s e c u t i o n of W a l l a c e ' s brother on tax evasion charges.

E . Howard Hunt, another convicted Watergate burglar, headed a White House assassination team that was to have "hit" Panamanian President Omar Torrijios because of Torrijios wish for an independent Panama.

unmatched in the annals of history.

The most striking information in the book, is that concerning the ubiquitous presence of Cuban, anti-Castro counterrevolutionaries or "gusanos" in the under-belly of the Nixon administration.

Financier Robert L . Vesco, who is under indictment for buying off a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, is investing heavily into stock owned by Costa Rican President Jose

Figueres— who also had close ties to Batista. Costa R i c a has granted Vesco asylum, keeping him out of the reach of American authorities who are ostensibly trying to extradite him.

Vesco and Howard Hughes are business partners in a number of e n t e r p r i s e s in Central America.

The C I A hired John Roselli, a former A l Capone associate to find a man to assassinate Fidel Castro on the eve of the B a y of Pigs invasion.

Unarmed Muslim shot down by Tampa police white

S T E P H E N S WAS SHOT at l e a s t eight t i m e s in the abdomen and neck as he stood in a surrender position facing policemen with guns after Joseph L e m e n l i n a white security guard for Walgreen Department Store had wrapped his handcuffs around his own hands and beat Stephens over the head.

Stephens, whose father died last June and his mother the year before, left a 10-month old son behind, and a wife who is expecting another child in April.

The incident began when J.W. C a r t e r , a w h i t e off-duty policeman, objected to Stephens selling Muhammad Speaks newspapers outside the Woolworth Dept. Store in downtown Tampa.

TO A V O I D a confrontation, Stephens turned his back and walked away from an angry Carter, who then grabbed him

Rudolph X Saunders, selling Muhammad Speaks across the street, came to the aid of Stephens. Carter had called for a paddy wagon before he talked to Stephens.

After Carter was shot, Joseph Lemelin, the Walgreen Dept.

Store guard, pulled his gun on i, Stephens and Saunders and backed both of them against the wall. He begin beating them with his handcuffs while two more white policemen.

ANOTHER STRUGGLE ensued, this time between Lemelin and Stephens when Lemelin took out his revolver and pointed it at Stephen's head. Stephens knocked the gun away from his head which prompted white bystanders to shout. " K i l l the Nigger, k i l l the Nigger." Stephens with back still against the wall was shot at least eight times. Shooting w i l d l y policemen hit two bystanders, Ronald Smith, 17, John F l a h e r t y 72, and Lemelin.

L e s s than six hours after the shooting, Assistant State's Attorney Bob Nutter had ruled Stephen's death a justifiable homicide, prompting the N A A C P to hold a p r e s s conference and request a further investigation by the U.S. department of Justice for C i v i l Rights Violations.

Repression. Angela D a v i s called for " U n i t y " in exposing racism and repression in a concerted effort to shatter the myth of the "new South."

She said. "People are crying because this man named E g i l Krogh is getting six months while Samuel Poole, who was convicted of the same crime as Krogh. is at this very moment sitting on death row.

Choosing North Carolina as a "symbol of r a c i s m " because of the many unresolved political trials, Angela cited the cases of the Wilmington 10. Charlotte 3. Ayden 11. the I n d i a n Movement and especially. Ben Chavis as reasons to organize the Alliance here.

She then e x p l a i n e d the comparison. " Y o u know, in North Carolina you can be sentenced to death if you are c o n v i c t e d of first-degree burglary I wonder what would have happened if D a n i e l Ellsberg's psychiatry office had been in North Carolina?"

She said. "We are asking why Ben Chavis faces 200 years in prison on 10 different trials, while Spiro Agnew walks 'free as a bird' with Secret Service protection provided by the White H o u s e "

Calling for a coalition of all races to unite against capital punishment, outmoded prisons, involuntary sterilization of Blacks, low wages and "the worst form of political repression in the country." Angela called the "new South" little more than the "old South" hidden by a public relations crusade saying. "We still have the same old South. The only thing new is that the old racism has become even more bodacious."

She added. " I t has cost about $250,000 in taxpayer's money since Agnew resigned. And check this out; at least a dozen agents a r e said to have accompanied M r . Agnew across the country the other day — for a party at F r a n k Sinatra's place in California."

M O R E T H A N 10 speakers had preceded A n g e l a on the rostrum, i n c l u d i n g Chief Howard Brooks, who said in reference to this generation of Americans — "Anyone here right now. who is not a native American, is guilty in sharing the spoils of the criminals that took this land. So, if a person has a real conscience he will go back to where his ancestors came from." This brought an extreme atmosphere of silence from the racially mixed audience.

"The only new thing we have now is an organization called the Rights of White People that criticizes the K u Klux K l a n as . too moderate." We still have the same old South. The only thing new is that the old racism has become even more bodacious."

In a state where the Black population is only 25 per cent, she said, the prison population is 75 per cent Black. On death row. where North Carolina has 27 of all 50 U . S . death row inmates, she said all but four are Black or Indian.

Angela made it known that her prime target was the Nixon administration scandels involving Watergate.

BY EMPHASIZING communications as viable and a potential solution to the problems of Black people, we hope to increase our society's level of awareness of our problems and the potential solutions. The racist nature of American society has introjected a set of values shared by both B l a c k s and whites which are contrary to the h e a l t h y p s y c h o l o g i c a l growth and progress of Black people individually and as a group.

White people get a false impression of B l a c k s and B l a c k s got a false impression of themselves. Both groups act on this false information and the r e s u l t i s s o c i a l and psychological difficulties

D U R I N G T H E F A L L of'1972. the p a n e l i s t s carefully observed the programs broadcast on the public T V channels in New York, Boston.

Washington and Los Angeles with the intention of learning how extensively, and by what means, the interests and images of Blacks and- other minority groups were being portrayed on the tube.

T h e y a r r i v e d at these observations about public T V programs: "Behind the Lines is as guilty as any other program of ignoring the opportunity to use Black spokesmen, even when they are the most effective advocates of a p a r t i c u l a r position. F o r example, it was found that during a program on the accuracy of political polls, not one question was asked regarding the polls' notorious

c o m m u n i c a t i o n between Blacks and whites, psychological conflicts between Blacks and neurotic personality behavior patterns.

Among Blacks, these patterns can be observed in various ways, e.g., the need to emulate whites, the preference for a white mate which serves as a visual substitute for a selfimposed inferiority, a conspicuous level of c o n s u m p t i o n — an over compensation with material achievement as a substitute for self-love, etc.

ONLY A COMMUNITY educated to the origin and vicissitudes of this phenomenon can interrupt this vicious-cycle of self hatred, r e define the shared values and structure corrective mer-hanismF and institutions to counteract the present inequities which result from a ''mass media brainwash." I n other words, " H e who would slay an elephant must first learn his habits."

Journalism as practiced by whites, or white journalism, has c l e a r l y defined ' its

f o r

objectives as a liberating tool for w h i t e people. I t r e enforces w h i t e n e s s as a positive value, organizes a consensus around contemporary issues based on a doctrine of positive whiteness and r e g u l a t e s i d e a s of privileged and nonprivileged members of our society.

"On one evening wnen the panel was observing public television. Behind the Lines had as its subject the problem of confidential sources of reporters. All the participants on both sides of the discussion were white. Y e t . one of the principal cases decided on this issue by the Supreme Court involved E a r l Caldwell, a Black correspondent of the New York Times. None of the many Black journalists who have spoken eloquently on this subject in other settings appeared on the program.

"The 51st State has provided some excellent local ( N . Y . C . ) coverage, such as the dispute over a public housing project in Forest Hills, N . Y . , and the integration of 31 public housing c h i l d r e n in the C a n a r s i e schools. On the whole, The 51st State did the best job of including the viewpoints and concerns of minority groups of any show observed.

"Moreover, it did not create its own issues, its stories seemed to derive from the actual fabric of the news, and t h u s d i d not h a v e as patronizing an effect as do some other P B S programs.

wisdom of m a k i n g a psychiatrist a warden at a correctional institution saying, "The involvement of psychiatry and therapeutic principles in a prison system combines the worst possible of two worlds. Y o u can sneak in cruel and unusual punishment under the guise of therapy."

He then termed "psychodrama" in w h i c h inmates play out on stage, problem - solving and new social behavior through acting rather than talking, as "useless."

Groder characterized as "absurd" implied charges that the center would develop prototype psychosurgical brainwashing methods and heavy drug dosages.

Groder frustrated the investigating team in the first session with long generalized answers to questions in which they desired quick answers.

H o w e v e r , i n the second session. Dr. J . Dennis Jackson, an Atlanta psychiatrist and lawyer, brought quick irritated answers from Groder with burning questions.

J A C K S O N C A L L E D Groder a white Anglo - Saxon Protestant, whose training did not qualify him to deal with problems of Blacks in the center's research programs

since this country's psychiatric training does not deal with it own racism.

Jackson said, "The standard in p s y c h i a t r y around the country is white - Anglo Saxon Protestant; even though F r e u d w a s J e w i s h and Austrian, his psychiatry had no ideology, therefore, no moral fiber.

For example: if a Black is not an 'Oreo Cookie' then he is not a subject for the traditional type psychotherapy.

Your training does not help you to deal with the negatives in the environment. Y o u are going to try to each him to be a qua si white m a n . " Joyner raised the question of the overlooked mental health unit that is the biggest part of the research center. I t was Joyner's contention that this unit would brand outspoken prisoners by labeling them p s y c h o s and they w o u l d become victims of shock treatment, psychosurgery and heavy drugs. Groder said these were accepted practices in psychiatry.

Joyner said the team will present its findings to Congress and seek a mandate against human experimentation.

The Muslim Program What the Muslims Want This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible.

1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom.

2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color.

3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society.

4. We want our people in America whose parents cr grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish

a separate

state

ar territory

of their

own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave -tasters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs.

Since we cannot get along with them in peace and

justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own, 5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South.

We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave master's children and establish a land of their own.

We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mnb attacks against the so -called Negro throughout the United States.

We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty.

We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses.

8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from ALL taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land.

9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers.

Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect.

10. We believe that-intermarriage or race mixing should be

7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or

and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human

These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

What the Muslims Believe 1. WE BELIEVE in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah.

2. WE

BELIEVE

in the

Holy

Qur -an and in the

Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE BELIEVE in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have beer added to it.

4. WE BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. WE BELIEVE in the 'esurrection of the dead—not in physical

resurrection—but

'n

mental

resurrection.

We

believe that the so -called Megroes are most in need if tuntal ssurrectiu;' .nersfore. 'bey will be 'esurrected 'irst.
