White People: you still uae the suffering of your ancestors as an excuse of whats wrong with your community.

Culture is a weapon in our struggle for Liberation.

When we talk about the media in America, we look at who owns the media. And we note that this media is owned by about 10 corporations that own about 80% of the media. Few companies owning over 200 cable companies and so forth, and you see the struggle now over who is going to own the cable operations; who is going to control communications in America. And we recognize then, that those who own the media-because what? A free press only belongs to the person who owns one-Obviously, if the bourgeois element in America and the ruling elite in America owns the media, then the media will be used by that class to carry out its programs and its ideologies. And it will use the media to try to brainwash and falsify the consciousness of African people.

A look back at our covers reflecting on 9/11, and the landscape it left behind.
The media in our autopsy has acted as the eyes and nervous system of the cadaver before us waiting to be desected. The vision of the media directs the body of the war machine just as the eyes and nervous system direct the body. Without the media much of the body would not know how to act, wpuld not know to go out and kill. It's muscles would be muted.
These covers and the media reaction to September 11th is propaganda desined to tell the war machine what to do.
Top image: Illustrates how corporate interests control the office of the president. Gerald Ford became after Nixon resigned.
Left image on second top row: This image shows Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on the left with President Richard Nixon, laughing as they bring war and destruction to Third World countries.
Right image on second top row: Two weeks after Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew were reelected in 1972, Douglas made this photo collage.
Image on top third row: President Richard Nixon is satirized as a royal member of the KKK while all serve their corporate masters.
Right image on fourth top row: Israel: The Zionist puppet state of imperialism.
U.S. imperialism and associates: West Germany, France, Israel, and Britain. Descriptions explain how these countries were deliberately made economically dependent on the U.S.
Left image on fourth top row: Imperialists: All this proves even more clearly that U.S. imperialism is the most barbarous shameless aggressor of modern times, the main force of aggression and war, the chieftain of world reaction, the bulwark of modern colonialism, the strangler of the national liberation and independence, and the disturber of world peace.
Image on fifth row: As explained by Malcolm X:
“It is impossible for capitalism to survive, primarily because the system of capitalism needs some blood to suck. Capitalism used to be like an eagle, but now it’s more like a vulture. It used to be strong enough to go and suck anybody’s blood whether they were strong or not. But now it has become more cowardly, like the vulture, and it can only suck the blood of the helpless. As the nations of the world free themselves, then capitalism has less victims, less to suck, and it becomes weaker and weaker. It’s only a matter of time in my opinion before it will collapse completely.”(0)
“It is incorrect to classify the revolt of the Negro as simply a radical conflict of black against white or as a purely American problem. Rather, we are today seeing a global rebellion of the oppressed against the oppressor, the exploited against the exploiter.”(1)
“You and I are living at a time when there’s a revolution going on. A worldwide revolution. It goes beyond Mississippi. It goes beyond Alabama. It goes beyond Harlem. There’s a worldwide revolution going on. Number one, what is it revolting against? The power structure. The American power structure? No. The French power structure? No. The English power structure? No. Then what power structure? An international Western power structure. An international power structure consisting of American interests, French interests, English interests, Belgian interests, European interests. These countries that formerly colonized the dark man formed into a giant international combine. A structure, a house that has ruled the world up until now. And in recent times there has been a revolution taking place in Asia and Africa, whacking away at the strength or at the foundation of the power structure.”(2)
and Robert F. Williams:
“The violence that we had in the 60’s was limited. The next time it will be unlimited because the violence in the 60’s was a struggle for human dignity and for human rights. The next struggle will be a struggle for survival and it will not just be limited to Black people or Black against white, but it will be the poor people, the masses of the people of the country, struggling for the right to live or the right to survive.”(3)
Left image on sixth row: “Don’t support the greedy; support the needy!”
Right image on sixth row: “The recently coined term, black capitalism, is shown here in league with U.S. imperialism, revealing that both have the same exploitative practices and goals.”
Bottom image: “I’ve lived through some hard times here in the “Land of the plenty,” with the U.S. government talking about a sale for this and a charge for that, while we the people starve!

On September 11, 1926, anarchist Gino Lucetti (1900-1943) threw a bomb at Mussolini’s passing car. Sadly, the bomb bounced off without hurting Il Douche, and Lucetti was arrested. The would-be assassin was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but escaped in 1943 (being killed in a bombing raid shortly afterward.)
Flavio Costantini (1926-2013) was an Italian artist, designer, and printmaker. Costantini created portraits of writers and artists for newspapers, and illustrated several novels. His early works were inspired by the novelist Franz Kafka, and by literary, utopian and—after reading Victor Serge’s Memoires of a Revolutionary in the 1960’s—anarchist visions. Costantini did a large number of illustrations for the British anarchist publisher Cienfuegos Press, which published a—sadly—out of print collection of his work entitled The Art of Anarchy.
““Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? Revolution is undoubtedly the most authoritative thing possible. It is an act in which one section of the population imposes its will on the other by means of rifles, bayonets, cannon, i.e., by highly authoritative means, and the victorious Party is inevitably forced to maintain its supremacy by means of that fear which its arms inspire in the reactionaries. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day had it not relied on the authority of the armed people against the bourgeoisie? Are we not, on the contrary, to entitled to blame the Commune for not having made sufficient use of this authority? And so: either – or: either the anti-authoritarians do not know what they are talking about, in which case they merely sow confusion; or they do know, in which case they are betraying the cause of the proletariat. In either case they serve only the interests of reaction.””
— Friedrich Engels, “On Authority”, 1872.
A presentation from the All African People’s Revolutionary Party and Black Lives Matter PDX reminding us of what Ward Churchill said at the end of his essay “On the Nature of Roosting Chickens” that some people push back. All of our ancestors did and they never stopped.
Briefly, Resistance to capitalism and slavery started the second Europeans tried to oppress us and there has not been a single say that our people have stopped resisting, on the continent itself, on the slave ships, on the colonies. in the ghettos and today in the prisons and on the street. Ours is a legacy of rebellion that is not taught to us.
Body & Revolution
Why conceptualize the state as a body?
V.I. Lenin has already given us a great theorisation of what the state is and how the state functions, our own research has led us to find prophetic analogies within the physical body in all its consuming of food, its breathing of air, its reproduction and its disgestion. The whole of the body aims in the continuation of the body, just as the state, all of it, in its converting of people, the free gifts of nature, into commodiites. This research is in then in line with Lenin’s view of the state. “The state is the product and manifestation of the irreconcilability of class antagonism. The state arrises when, where and to the extent that the class antagonism cannot be objectively reconciled.” - State and Revolution, 1917
In reading Lein's definition we can easily see that to end the state we need only to end class antagonisms just as when we imagine the state as a body, we get two things, firstly that bodies die when they cannot feed themselves, when the systems managing the consumption and conversion of resources are severed. As the movie Predator in all it's imperialist imagry still got right...
If it bleeds we can kill it
Secondly and this is in many ways the aim of this research, the liberal idea that it is only the military industrial complex, or that The United State's problems all started with reagan, that there are innocent people and bussiness occupying turtle island, becomes obscenely false, there is no innocent cell in a body aiming to digest you, save only the cancer cell killing that body.
The United States as a War Machine
If we think of tactics as the art of assembling men and weapons in order to win battles, and of strategy as the art of assembling battles in order to win wars, then logistics could be defined as the art of assembling war and the agricultural, economic, and industrial resources that make it possible. If a war machine could be said to have a body, then tactics would represent the muscles and strategy the brain, while logistics would be the machine’s digestive system and circulatory systems: the procurement and supply networks that distribute resources throughout an army’s body.
