In the field, Hezbollah is still a certain place of this world, and not only in Lebanon, as I used to say earlier.

The general headline we can speak about clearly on the tion to conceal the inflicted enormous military losses as Israel claims? military level is steadfastness--the great and significant steadfastness first and, secondly, full absorption of the Israeli strike. Over the past few days, the Israelis, in our opinion, did the maximum that they can do, from [Nasrallah] First, you know Lebanon. Today, the Israelis tightened the noose on the mass media in northern the air and the sea. Of course, we will discuss the ground option shortly. There is no target--old, new, as- occupied Palestine and occupied Palestine. No one can report any news or broadcast any footage.

Channel were subjected to arrests, interrogation, restricted activities, and the like. Why do the Israelis resort to concealing the truth on the other side? Why? Do they do that only because they accuse the media outlets I can confirm at this moment—this is not an exaggeration and not part of psychological warfare, but of setting the coordinates? This is nonsense. We have the coordinates of these Israeli settlements and military facts—that the command structure of Hezbollah has not been harmed. Yesterday night, they conducted a positions in the north, centre, or in any part of occupied Palestine. We do not need anybody to give us very violent raid on a building in the southern suburb. They spoke about 22 tons of explosives and a large information, images, or the like. In that case, they want to conceal the true scene of the war on the other number of aircraft that conducted the raid.

If we have mar- tyrs, we can only conceal them for an hour or two because their families and the residents of their village [Bin-Jiddu] Do you mean the political leaders or the military commanders? will know about it. Those are not fighters from another country; they are from the citizens of this country. If one of the leaders of Hezbollah is martyred, this will be made known within few hours. Therefore, we do not [Nasrallah] All of them. Certainly, I would like to tell you and tell the viewers that when a martyr falls, we conceal our martyrs and we are proud of them. Secondly, as for the structure [of the resistance], its perform- inform his family and we then announce this. We do not hide our martyrs until the end of the battle. We ance practically assert that things are still ongoing well. Moreover, the Israelis gave a while ago a picture of have never done this. On the contrary, we always take pride in our martyrs. Until this very moment, praise trucks to the mass media claiming that these trucks are transporting ammunition to Hezbollah. Well, if they be to God, anything that could affect the command or administrative structure that is managing the battle or videotape every target they strike, let them provide pictures of the rocket launchers, the launching pads, and that is not managing the battle—those who are directly linked to the battle or have a relationship to some the military bases that were bombarded. Thus far, they have been bombarding wrong targets. This indicates a aspects of the existing situation--this structure has remained intact. This is especially true in the case of the technical failure on the one hand and an intelligence failure on the other. The drilling machines in Al- military structure that is present in the field. This is first. The second thing that I can confirm is that all the Ashrafiyah are old machines. So, they do not receive intelligence from the ground and I do not agree with Israeli talk that they hit 50 per cent of our rocket capability and warehouses—all of this is untrue and the analysis that suggests they pounded Al-Ashrafiyah because they want to instigate the Christians and the nonsense. Until this moment, they have not been able to hit anything in this context. I confirm this to you. residents of Al-Ashrafiyah against the resistance. We should not be hasty [in drawing conclusions]. They came The evidence is that the resistance has continued to fire rockets—not the regular Katyusha rockets that are and videotaped the two drilling machines.

Edgar Hoover The Federal Bureau of Investigation was created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte while Theodore Roosevelt served as President. In 1910, the FBI declared “no authority...to protect citizens of African descent in the enjoyment of civil rights generally.” The FBI is no more than another criminal faction of an already criminal government, established to legitimize a national police agency. Afrikan descendants, whom represent a nation within a nation, the Black Nation, came under immediate attack. With the sluggish dissolution of the institution of in the U.S. came a simultaneous ambition to address the “Negro problem.” The sense of urgency by Afrikans to fight in the war for their own liberation gained increasing momentum. The former Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, would formally construct a plan to dismantle Afrikan efforts for liberation. Although the same principles were used to unlawfully punish the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey in 1927, it was not until August of 1967 that Hoover outlined the FBI’s nationwide campaign to target Black civil rights leaders, Black Power advocates, and to maintain surveillance of the Black com- munity. This campaign would be called the counterintelligence program (COINTELPRO).

To inhibit the potential involvement of youth and youth organizations, effectively removing them as a future factor in their freedom struggle. (1) Prevent the COALITION of militant black nationalist groups. In unity there is strength; a truism that is no less valid for all its triteness. An effective coalition of black nationalist groups might be the first step toward a real “Mau-Mau”[Black revolutionary army] in America, the beginning of a true black revolution. …(5) A final goal should be to prevent the long-range growth of militant black organizations, especially among the youth. Specific tactics to prevent these groups from converting young people must be developed. The purpose of this new counterintelligence endeavor is to expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or OTHERWISE NEUTRALIZE the activities of black nationalist hate-type organizations and groupings, their leadership, spokesmen, membership, and supporters, and to counter their propensity for violence and civil disorder. The activities of all such groups of intelligence interest to the Bureau must be followed on a continuous basis so we will be in a position to promptly take advantage of all opportunities for coun- terintelligence and inspire action in instances where cir- cumstances warrant. The pernicious background of such groups, their duplicity, and devious maneuvers must be ex- posed to public scrutiny where such publicity will have a neutralizing effect. Efforts of the various groups to con- solidate their forces or to recruit new or youthful adher- ents must be frustrated. NO OPPORTUNITY SHOULD BE MISSED TO EXPLOIT THROUGH COUNTERINTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES THE OR- GANIZATIONAL AND PERSONAL CONFLICTS OF THE LEADERSHIPS OF THE GROUPS AND WHERE POSSIBLE AN EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO CAPITALIZE UPON EXISTING CONFLICTS BETWEEN COMPETING BLACK NATIONALIST ORGANIZATIONS.

Page 21 By Idris McCray President Bush, in his fiscal budget for the federal 2006-2007 year that commences on October 1, 2006, proposes to cut an overwhelming 48 US Department of Education programs. This $2.7 trillion budget is a blueprint of the Bush’s priorities and plans. To evaluate an administration, we must examine its budgets. George Bush terminated a total of 99 programs in his 2006 budget. The Education Programs alone account for a savings of $4.3 billion. He wants to replace those with new initiatives costing $2.3 billion. $1.5 billion will go to police and punish high schools – hold them "accountable" for teaching and providing "intervention" for "non-performing" students. He also plans to give teachers business-style bonuses of $500 million to improve test scores. The remaining $300 million will be invested in high-end academics as Advanced Placement (AP) and International Bacca- laureate (IB) courses, and a “Math/Science Partnership" program. Such programs give an unfair advantage to wealthier schools and districts, and upper middle-class families. Students on AP and IB tracks are segregated into better courses and facilities than mainstream students; like a two-tier social class system. Following his trend in domestic plan- ning, Bush's education budget provide more funds for wealthier students, while taking educational opportunities and assistance away from poor, disabled and immigrant students. Some of the US Department of Education Programs that have been proposed for termination by Bush in 2006-2007 are listed below. ≡ Educational Technology State Grants, $272 million: assists states ≡ Elementary and Secondary School Counseling, $35 million: es- in generating and using accurate and timely data to meet fed- tablishes or expands elementary and high school counseling eral reporting requirements, and facilitate research needed to programs, especially for schools with the greatest need for new eliminate achievement gaps and improve learning of all stu- and additional counseling services, and the most promising and dents. innovative approaches. ≡ Even Start, $99 million: designed to improve the literacy of aca- ≡ Alcohol Abuse Reduction, $32 million: aims to reduce alcohol demic achievement of young children and their low-income abuse among secondary school students. families. ≡ Civic Education, $29 million: programs in character, civics, and High School Programs correctional education in elementary and high schools and col- ≡ Vocational Education State Grants, $1,182 million: aims to de- leges. velop the academic, vocational, and technical skills of students ≡ National Writing Project, $22 million: a nationwide, nonprofit who elect to enroll in vocational and technical programs. educational organization that promotes K-16 teacher training ≡ Vocational Education National Programs, $9 million programs in the effective teaching of writing; serves more than ≡ Upward Bound, $311 million: provides support to high school- 100,000 teachers at approximately 175 sites, and has served over ers from low-income families and to low-income first- 2 million teachers and administrators since its inception in generation military veterans to succeed in pre-college perform- 1974. ance. ≡ Star Schools, $15 million: improved instructions in math, sci- ≡ GEAR UP, $303 million: designed to increase the number of ence and foreign language for disabled, illiterate and disadvan- low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in taged students. college; GEAR UP funds are also used to provide college schol- ≡ School Leadership, $15 million: assists in recruiting, training arships to low-income students. and retaining principals and assistant principals in low-income ≡ Talent Search, $145 million: aims at increasing number of dis- areas. advantaged youth to complete high school and attend college ≡ Ready to Teach, $11 million: enables eligible schools to de- ≡ Tech Prep Education Program, $105 million: hailed by the Edu- velop, produce and distribute innovative educational and in- cation Department website as "a significant innovation in the structional digital/video programming. education reform movement in the United States....Tech Prep is ≡ Javits Gifted and Talented Education, $10 million: meets special an important school-to-work transition strategy, helping all needs of gifted students who are disabled, disadvantaged and students make the connection between school and employ- limited-English proficient. ment." ≡ Exchanges with Historic Whaling and Trading Partners, $9 mil- ≡ Smaller Learning Communities, $94 million: plan, implement lion: supports culturally-based educational activities, intern- or expand smaller learning communities in large high schools, ships, apprenticeships and exchanges for Alaska Natives, Native and includes parents, community-based organizations and other Hawaiians, and children and families of Massachusetts. community members in the activities of the smaller learning ≡ Comprehensive School Reform, $8 million: designed to increase communities.

We want full employment for our people and we demand the dignity to do for ourselves what we have begged the white man to do for us. POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! WEALTH IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! ARMS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! 3. We want tax exemption and an end to robbery of THE BLACK by the CAPITALIST. We want an end to the capitalistic domination of Africa in all of its forms: imperialism, criminal settler coloni- alism, neo-colonialism, racism, , zionism, apartheid and artificial borders. 4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings, free health-care (preventive and main- tenance). We want an end to the trafficking of drugs and to the biological and chemical warfare targeted at our people. 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this devilish and decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history/herstory and our role in the present day society. 6. We want all Black Men and Black Women to be exempt from military service. 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE HARRASSMENT, BRUTALITY AND MURDER of Black Peo- ple. We want an end to Black-on-Black violence, “snitching”, cooperation and collaboration with the oppressor. 8. We want freedom for all Black Men and Black Women held in international, military, federal, state, county, city jails and prisons. 9. We want all Black People when brought to trial to be tried in a court by a jury of their peer group or people from their Black Communities, as defined by white law of the Constitution of United States. 10. WE DEMAND AN END TO THE RACIST DEATH PENALTY AS IT IS APPLIED TO BLACK AND OP- PRESSED PEOPLE IN AMERICA. WE DEMAND FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS OF THE BLACK RED AND BROWN NATION!

History has proven that the white man is absolutely disagreeable to get along with in peace. No one has been able to get along with the white man. All the people of color have been subjected to the white man’s wrath. We believe that his very nature will not allow for true sharing, fairness, equity and justice. Therefore, to the Red Man and Woman, to the Yellow and to the Brown, we say to you “THE SAME RABID DOG THAT BIT YOU, BIT US TOO!” ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
