[Note: This quote is excerpted from the COINTELPRO Black Nationalist memo by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, August 25, 1967. Kwame Ture, Jamil al-Amin and the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee were listed as the primary targets of this operation. Our book documents cointelpro-like operations worldwide, from 1933 to 2013.]

Our Book

The historiography of Kwame Ture; of his generation, political time and cultural space; of his contributions and achievements; of the student, human and civil rights, nationalist, Black Power and Pan-African, socialist, anti-repression and peace Movements; and of the worldwide war against him and those Movement, to paraphrase Osagefyo Kwame Nkrumah, is “encumbered with a host of malicious myths:” omissions, errors, conscious-less exaggerations and minimizations, half-truths and shameless lies.

This historiography,” to paraphrase Joe Street, who teaches at Northumbria University in England, has reached its “golden age,” but it “remains contested ground and a subject of continuing debate.” Our book, The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael), enters this contest, joins this debate, and debunks these myths, these “fallacious assumptions,” to paraphrase Kwame. Like Kwame at Berkeley in 1966, we will identify and condemn these myth makers, these exaggerators, these liars; and we will condemn them, and demand that they criticize and condemn, correct and perhaps punish themselves. More importantly, we will debunk and correct these myths in our book.

“We are struggling in the arena of ideas,” as Kwame said at the Malcolm X in the 90’s Symposium in Havana in May 1990. “The form of struggle which we have before us [today] is a serious struggle.”

Our ground-breaking book challenges and changes the established, Euro-centric and Afro-centric (right-wing, center-wing and left-wing) paradigm, narrative and discourse, a much needed, refreshing and revolutionary challenge and change. It is the first, exhaustive, revolutionary, and Pan-African:

• Study of this historical and continuing COINTELPRO and cointelpro-like war;
• Historical and socio-political analysis of Kwame’s and our political time and cultural space; and
• Biography of Kwame Ture, and his contributions to the Citizens Empire and Home Rule Party; the student left at Bronx High School of Science in New York; the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party; the Lowndes County Freedom Organization and the larger struggle to build Freedom Organizations in 21 other counties in Alabama and 631 other counties in the “Black Belt South; “the Black Panther Movement worldwide from 1965 to 1969; the Movement to Take Kwame Nkrumah Back to Ghana; the Democratic Party of Guinea; the Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania; the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party; and hundreds of other revolutionary political movements and parties in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the World.

Kwame and we helped make and change history. We helped change Africa, the African Diaspora and the World, our families and ourselves, though not as we had hoped or planned, not enough—quantitatively or qualitatively—and certainly not permanently.

How You Can Help!

You have a choice on which causes you invest your time, talent and treasures in. We need your help because the cost of completing, publishing and launching this book on May 24, 2014 at African Liberation Day in Washington, DC far exceeds our limited resources—human and financial.

We have run this race, with encouragement and support from a small circle of comrades, sisters and brothers, and friends like you, for 50 long, hard years. We see another victory line, a very small victory! We can not cross that victory line however, without your continued encouragement and support.  Please pre-order a paperback copy ($25.00 USD) of The War against Kwame Ture, TODAY! You can also:

• Invite Bob Brown and the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) to your campus, community, city and country to research, recruit, network, and raise funds. This will enable and empower us to complete our archival research and conduct interviews with people, like many of you, who worked, studied and struggled, sacrificed and suffered with Kwame, but have never been interviewed before.
• Volunteer to help us complete our archival research and conduct strategic interviews.
• Recommend The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) as a resource for teachers and students, activists and organizers, especially those who never heard of him, and were not born or of political age during his political time and cultural space.

Thanks for joining our Campaign to support the publication and distribution of the 1^st edition of The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael). It has been a long and hard 15-year struggle since Kwame’s transition on November 15, 1998 to produce this much needed and long awaited book. We have made it to this point in our crusade with your encouragement and support. We cannot fulfill our promise to Kwame and you, and cross the victory line without your continued encouragement and support!

Your contribution towards the funding of this effort by pre-ordering a copy ($25.00 USD) of our book TODAY, enables and empowers us to complete and publish this much needed and long demanded narrative-changing, discourse-changing and movement-changing study of political repression against Kwame and us, and the movements, organizations, governments, activities and events, and key personalities with whom he and we collaborated, competed and conflicted throughout Africa, the African Diaspora and the World. This war against him and us, his memory and legacy continues today. It will intensify as we approach the 50^th anniversary of his Black Power speech on June 17, 2016.

Your contribution by pre-ordering ($25.00 USD) a copy of our book will enable and empower Kwame to speak to and recruit progressive and revolutionary forces—especially youth and women—in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the World, once again; and it will hopefully inspire them to join the Revolution—the African and World Revolution—like he and we did.

We will keep you updated on our progress!

Overarching objective of the Pan-Afrikan Society Community Forum

@

By Omowale Rupert and Pan-African Society Community Forum

14 Gowlett Road, Peckham, London SE15 4HY,

Website: www.pascf.org.uk – Email: pascfevents1@gmail.com –

The Pan-Afrikan Society Community Forum (PASCF) is a Britain based Revolutionary Pan-Afrikanist organisation. We seek to make our contribution to the unification and liberation of Afrika and Afrikan people under a just social system. The achievement of this objective is Afrikan people’s contribution to the worldwide revolutionary movement.

It is within this context that we welcomed and facilitated the visit of senior comrade Bob Brown of the AAPRP-GC to our operational territory from 18th September to 30th October 2013. The PASCF operated with the following objects in focus:

@

Objectives of the visit:

1. To deliver the 2013 Kwame Nkrumah Annual Memorial Lecture;
2. To facilitate educational forums broadcasting and advancing the aims and messages of Revolutionary Pan-Afrikanism to Afrikan people and others;
3. To support and enhance the PASCF/CPP consciencism study programme;
4. To build the membership and public image of the PASCF;
5. To lay the foundations for future strategic and tactical alliances with AAPRP (GC);
6. To strengthen operational working relations with CPP (UK & Ireland) with a view to building a future working alliance;
7. To develop and strengthen working relations with a widened range of Afrikan and non-Afrikan progressive groupings operating in Britain;
8. To support AAPRP (GC) in:

• Sharing its political massages in Britain;
• Building its public image in Britain;
• Carrying out research for general political education and the production of literature; and
• Visiting other locations in Afrika and Europe.

@

Summary of outcomes of the visit:

1. The Kwame Nkrumah Annual Memorial Lecture 2013 was a great success. Attended by approximately 60 people, the audience was gripped by Bob’s presentation. The volume of questions and enquiries was of such magnitude that the meeting extended 2 hours beyond its planned finishing time. A follow-up meeting had to be arranged there and then to accommodate the level of interest. It was the quality of engagement that was the essence of the event’s success – a feature which characterised the whole tour.
2. Bob spoke at a range of events across Britain including in the cities of: London, Luton, Oxford, Birmingham, Leeds and Newcastle. Events in Liverpool and Leicester though provisionally discussed, did not materialise – nor did speaking engagements at a college and Trade union in London.
3. Given the limited planning time, the tour was very successful. Over 100 people attended the Tottenham event (North London) and over 200 the Leeds one. The South London event was broadcast live on PASCF’s newly launched internet TV station. The Revolutionary Pan-Afrikanist message was broadly spread across specific local communities.

@

Summary of Program and Events:

1. Bob attended 2 consciencism study sessions. His inputs and insights were most welcome. The number of attendees increased as a direct result of his presence. More attention needs to be paid to retention of attendees.
2. No new members were directly recruited as a result of the tour. There is a heightened level of interest and there have been specific requests from people wishing to join which are being processed.
3. There has been an ongoing character assassination and undermining campaign against the PASCF and its founder by reactionary forces veiling themselves under the banner of ‘Pan-Afrikanism’. Bob’s visit has contributed positively to overcoming that destructive campaign and rebuilding the good name of the PASCF.
4. The PASCF and AAPRP-GC have informally agreed to develop a working alliance.
5. The CPP participated as chair in all the London meetings. The PASCF/CPP relationship has undoubtedly been strengthened by the visit. The next stage will be to encourage the participation of greater numbers of CPP members.
6. New relations have been established with a number of groups around the country. It is hoped that these will be strengthened over time. A number of organisations supported Bob’s delivery of the Kwame Nkrumah Annual Memorial Lecture as sponsors.
7. A number of idealist grouping claiming to be ‘Pan-Afrikanists’, including the group using the name ‘AAPRP Britain Chapter’ were not supportive and relations with them will have been further dampened as a result of the visit.
8. AAPRP (GC) successfully delivered elements of its political line during the visit and its public profile has been launched/raised. Bob was denied access to some national research institutions on the basis of bureaucratic technicalities. He did manage to access others and was given unrestricted access to a range of materials under the PASCF’s control. Some level of research was facilitated.
9. The PASCF is delighted to learn of the publication of Bob’s first book.
10. Financial and time constraints meant that a number of planned visits had to be deferred. Bob nonetheless visited Germany and participated in a conference.

@

Additional brief comments:

The visit would have benefited from a greater degree of forward and budgetary planning. PASCF members and supports could have benefitted more from Bob’s vast wealth of geo-political knowledge and on future occasions this will need to be factored into the programme. A similar analysis could be made for the holding of joint organisational meetings with Bob. Although improvements are still possible, the visit was a resounding success. The PASCF was pleased to host Bob and looks forward to future co-operative ventures.

We, the more than three hundred delegates from 35 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East have gathered in Caracas, Venezuela, 24 to 27 of July, in the VII Continental Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba.

Inspired by the example and legacy of Simon Bolivar, Jose Marti, Fidel Castro, the eternal Commander Hugo Chavez, Raul Castro and Nicolas Maduro, and under the 230 anniversary of the birth of the Liberator, the 160th anniversary of the birth of José Martí, the 60th anniversary of the attacks on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, in the 55 year of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and the 59th birthday of Commander Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias.

After six decades of heroics struggle waged by the Cuban people against imperialism and its criminal consequences, which enabled it to conquer for its people, a life of dignity and to deploy as humanistic solidarity for the people of the world, which is on record in the history of mankind, its worthy example has become fertile seed that begins to reap rewards, with the triumphs achieved by the struggles waged by other countries of the Americas, such as the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and others who lead real integration and unity of our peoples, to their self-development, dignified and sovereign.

DECLARE:

1. Our firm will and commitment to the defense of the Cuban Revolution, independence, sovereignty, self-determination, dignity and all its accomplishments, which are an example for the peoples of Latin America, the Caribbean and the world.

Similarly, we demanded that the U.S. government extradite the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to face 73 murder charges related to the bombing of a Cubana Airliner. We also demand the extradition of fugitives from justice other Venezuelan who enjoy the protection of the United States in Florida, whose extradition requests remain pending before the State Department. Protecting terrorists and criminals, is to be complicit in their crimes.
6. We welcome the return of companiro René Gonzalez Schewerert to his homeland and with his family, having fully met the unjust and cruel sentence passed in a rigged trial, we recognize the role and constant efforts of the international mobilization to complaint against this injustice still pursues his four brothers Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez and Antonio Guerrero Rodríguez.
7. We exalt the economic and social achievements made by the Cuban Revolution, despite the criminal blockade, which are recognized by various UN agencies such as FAO, UNICEF, UNDP and UNESCO, which belies the smear campaigns and seeking to hide as prevaricators.
8. Condemn the aggressive and interventionist policy of the United States and its allies, in different regions of the world, the installation of a global system of military bases, some call secret water lilies, and activation of the 4th Fleet in the region of Latin American, who defile and undermine the sovereignty of peoples and undermine peace and peaceful coexistence. Similarly we demand the return of the territory occupied by the U.S. in Guantanamo against the will of the Cuban people.
9. Welcome the worthy president of Cuba makes CELAC, which constitutes a major construction and consultation space for the unification and integration of our peoples. Consequently congratulate the first conference of social movements in the countries that are part of this organization.
10. Flatly reject the aggression carried out by the United States and the servile attitude of the governments of Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, against the constitutional President of the Republic of Bolivia, Evo Morales, which constitutes an affront to Peoples of Our America and a return to colonial status that is still in force in different world regions.
11. We condemn the neo-colonial occupation of the territories of the Americas, in all its manifestations, which are victims Puerto Rico, Las Malvinas, and other peoples of the Caribbean, and we support their struggle for independence.
12. We support the struggles of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, against toxic mega-mineral opencast capitalist corporations that mean the death of human beings and the destruction of the environment and diversity.
13. We support the ongoing efforts to achieve peace in Colombia.
14. We reiterate our solidarity with the Haitian people and express our support for their demand for withdrawal of foreign troops from its territory.

The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) is a Pan-African Socialist party whose mission is to politically educate and organize the scattered, suffering, and struggling masses worldwide into the movement for the total liberation and unification of the entire African continent under Scientific Socialism. We love and respect our allies and we passionately and vigorously expose and resist advocates of imperialism and their capitalist exploiter agents. The AAPRP (GC) recognizes one such enemy as that of George Soros.

George Soros is a Hungarian-born billionaire and philanthropist based in the U.S. He is Chairman of Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute.[1] The Open Society Institute and related Soros enterprises fund and herd uncountable thousands of private groups and globalist agencies, seeking to overthrow African governments and seize natural resources, in the name of fighting tyranny and corruption.[2]

One side of this nightmare is the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). It began when the George Soros organization known as Publish What You Pay, aided by propaganda from the Soros-funded Global Witness group, demanded that nations with valuable natural resources be compelled to turn over to multinational cartels and to the British government, all records of their transactions on these resources – so as to stop bribes![3]

He has also been affiliated with the counter revolutionary Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank which rallied against our revolutionary brother, Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam and spreads misinformation on the conditions in Africa.[4] The Open Society Institute is one of three nongovernmental funders of the Global Center for Responsibility to Protect, the military doctrine used by the Obama administration to justify the U.S. – led invasion of Libya.[5]

Soros through the Open Society Institute and numerous other organizations has provided financial backing for the overthrow of socialist governments in Hungary and other Eastern European countries.6] It is widely believed Soros earnestly began influencing, manipulating and interfering in African Affairs in the 1980s while investing in British mining and again, plantations.[7]

Along with other imperialist forces, he has provided financial support for the Movement for Democratic Change opposing the ZANU-PF government in Zimbabwe.[8] He aligns and partners with British imperialists scheming to overthrow the legitimate government of Robert Mugabe, who indeed champions land redistribution for the indigenous Africans, landless due to European settler land monopolizers and thieves.[9] Soros’ Open Society Institute through the U.S. government base National Endowment for Democracy and U.K. government’s Westminster Foundation, and also British and other European plantation owners from Southern Zimbabwe plotted out schemes between 2000-2005 to topple Mugabe’s presidency.[10]

Further incriminating evidence in his suspect affiliation with known felon and lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who allied with the Reagan Administration to spy and assassinate activists and revolutionaries who were fighting South Africa’s immoral and politically incorrect system of apartheid and settler colonialism.[11] In Africa’s Egypt, Soros is said to have manipulated the Arab Spring of 2011 by creating a magazine funded again by the Open Society Institute, aimed at linking bloggers and the elite, using Facebook, thus creating a means to propel the Muslim Brotherhood to victory over the back of legitimate Socialists revolutionary parties which would have added impetus to the Pan-African and Socialist Revolution.[12]

More importantly, the blood on Soros’ hands, not only includes Egypt, but perhaps Tunisia, Syria, Yemen, and Bahrain. Currently, no doubt machinations are underway for the the overthrow of Iran’s government, another prediction by Soros. Also in 2011, one must shift blame in his direction as a key figure in the toppling and subsequent murder of our brother Muammar Qaddafi. Soros, serving as an advisor to President Obama, recommended the unconstitutional bombing of Libya and placed unlawful restrictions on their fly zone, which in itself, constitutes an act of war not sanctioned by the U.S. Congress and most alarming violates the War Powers Act , and subsequently paved the way for another Muslim Brotherhood triumph.[13]

Soros backs Revenue Watch, which is a resources watchdog that is advising Alpha Conde of Guinea on getting more capital from mining companies in negotiations.[14] He also has mining interests in Liberia, where Liberian President Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson has interest in hosting a base for AFRICOM.[15]

Based on the points listed above, we should not support any organization being funded by George Soros since he is a part of the bourgeois forces perpetuating capitalist intervention and domination of Africa and has aided in the setback for the struggle for socialism in Europe.

Sisters and Brothers, Comrades and Friends,

I bring you greetings from your fellow solidarity workers, living and struggling in the “belly of the beast”, the United States; I bring you greetings from the African American community, where we are murdered every 38th hours by the police (public and private, according to recent releases finding by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement).  I bring you greetings from the over 3 million prisoners, mass-incarcerated in the US’s PIPC (Prison Industrial Police Complex),  prisoners of conscience, prisoners of war and political prisoners, including the “cinco  heroes, held in the largest public/private prison system (4,575 + prisons)  in the world. I bring you greetings from our Latino brothers and sisters, fighting against ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement); walls of discrimination, exploitation and xenophobia, and against the border walls. I bring you greetings from the 99%, the occupy movement, struggling against big capital  the 1%. I bring you the greetings and the respect of the National Network on Cuba and their member organizations.

The National Network on Cuba is an umbrella, if you will, of most of the movements, organizations and parties working in solidarity with Cuba in the USA. Our member organization has varying methods, objectives and tactics, but all respect the sovereignty of the Cuban people, their right of self-determination, which demands that Cuba has a right to their own government formation, their own system and their own social order.  That Cuba has a rights to secure and sustainable development, free of interference and sabotage from the USA.

Our members travel regularly with or without approval of the State Department (license) to Cuba and will continue to do so until the racist, illegal and unjust travel ban is lifted. Our member, join the masses of the world, who every year for the past 20 years at the United Nations, resolve that the United States must lift its unilateral embargo and blockade on Cuba. Our members have monitored legislations about Cuba and lobbied against the negative ones and for the positive ones. Our member organizations are in the forefront of the struggle to free the Cuban Five, unjustly imprisoned in the USA.

We thank the Cuban people and their government, for what they have done for the world, for what they have done for humanity, and for what they have done for the children. It is with deep respect and envy that we recall that during the special period, 1992, that Cuba while undergoing tremendous financial hardship, could report that: “Cuba did not close one school; they did not close one hospital”. In the USA with any financial calamity, the first to be cut and closed are the schools and hospital and the social safety nets. We again thank Cuba for the offer to send doctors and medical personnel to the US during hurricane Katrina and hurricane Sandy. We thank Cuba for giving free scholarship to minority and under-privilege students in the USA to study at the prestigious Latin American School of Medicine (ELAN) in Havana, Cuba. And we thank Cuba for what it has done for South and Central America, and the Caribbean and the world. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Cuban people, their party the CPC and their farsighted and iconic leadership especially Fidel and Raul Castro.

We want to make it perfectly clear that we see the contradictions rising up in the USA and have contrasted them to Cuba, where a Yani Sanchez can leave Cuba go on an international speaking tour, funded by the Cuban mafia in Miami and Spain and the US governments’ NED, telling horrible lies about Cuba, and return to Cuba without any harassment or obstruction from the Cuban government. Yet a Bradley Manning is held in jail and tortured for exposing the US’s war crimes and crimes against humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan. A grandmother, Assata Shakur, living in Cuba, has a $2 million bounty placed on her head by the FBI for struggling for Black Liberation in the 1970’s in the USA. Yet the US still refuses to expedite terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to serve time for his Crimes against humanity.  Edward Snowden, who exposed the US spy network NSA spying on US citizens and the world, is being hunted by the US-NATO coalition, leading to the kidnapping of Bolivia’ president Evo Morales, over Europe in July. Yet the US continues it’s war against the people and against the environment.

We want to thank the Organizing Committee of the VII Continental Solidarity Conference, the National Movement of Friendship and Mutual Solidarity Venezuela-Cuba (Movimiento Nacional  De Amistad y Solidaridad Mutua Venezuela-Cuba) We know the hard work, the logistical coordination, the time and patience it takes to carry out an endeavor of this magnitude.  We are honored to be in Venezuela on the exact anniversary date of the birth of two of South America greatest Liberators: Simon Bolivar (July 24, 1783) and Hugo Chavez (July 28, 1954).  We thank the PSUV (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela) for hosting us and for providing the meeting spaces. We salute President Nicholas Maduro, and feel that the revolution initiated by President Hugo Chavez is in good hands. May the union of Venezuela and Cuba and the other ALBA countries continue.

We praise the recent announcement that Venezuela is preparing an air defense capable of withstanding an attack from the empire. We are sure that Venezuela is aware of the new model of warfare being practiced by the empire which includes, but is not limited to traditional military forces, special force units, mercenaries, in country assets, robotics, and computerize social networking, all at the same time. Inside the USA, Venezuela like Cuba has our full support and solidarity.

Long live Fidel and Raul Castro!

Long live President Nicalos Maduro!

Long live President Hugo Chavez!

Free the Cuban Five!

Venceramous!
