Communist Workers Party S Died Fighting the KKK/Nazis Rather Than Live as Slaves On November 3, the Communist Workers Party 5, among the finest leaders of the working people of North Carolina, black and white, were gunned down by the Klan and Nazis in Greensboro. In plain sight of TV cameras, skilled assassins selected out their victims from the crowd at an anti-Klan rally, and then shot them in the head or heart. Why did they kill the Communist Workers Party 5? Who was behind the murders? Some newspapers have claimed that the killings were provoked and were the result of a "shootout between two radical groups." But the evidence that has piled up since November 3 is overwhelming-the Greensboro massacre was set up by the Greensboro police department and the FBI, who have both been secret supporters of the Klan for a long time. The Greensboro police disarmed the demonstrators, gave the Klan a copy of the parade permit, escorted the Klan caravan to the rally, and let most of the Klan/Nazi murderers go free. Klan leaders later admitted that "one person" brought the weapons to Greensboro and told the Klan who to kill. The murders were planned by the government. COMRADE JIM WALLER, CENTRAL COMMITTEE, CWP COMRADE BILL SAMPSON PRESIDENT, LOCAL 1113-T, ACTWU COMRADE MfKE NATHAN The Communist Workers Party 5 were shot down in cold blood because they were leaders. Dr. Jim Waller, CWP Central Committee member, was president of ACTWU Local 1113-T and led a strike at Cone's Granite textile mill in Haw River, N.C. Bill Sampson was to be elected president of ACTWU Local 1391 at White Oak, Cone's largest plant. Sandy Smith was chairperson of the organizing committee at Cone's Revolution textile null and a founding member of the Youth Organization of Black Unity. Cesar Cauce helped organize the Duke Hospital Organizing Committee, and headed the union drive newsletter. Mike Nathan was a people's doctor for many in Durham. N .C.; he helped coordinate the shipment of tons of medical supplies to the freedom fighters of Zimbabwe. Remember the CWP 5 — Prepare for the 80's The murder of the CWP 5 at the dawn of the 1980's is no accident. The 60's brought a massive upsurge among students, blacks and other oppressed minorities-urban rebellions in cities like Detroit and student uprisings like Kent and Jackson State, and A&T, rocked the nation. The 70's was the decade of deepening capitalist crisis inflation and unemployment along with the rise of independent leadership like Jim, Cesar, Sandy, Mike and Bill.
