WORKERS VIEWPOINT, May 19,1980
JUSTICE
POLICE,
EGGS ON
ATTACK
OF CWP
IN the last issue of Workers Viewpoint, May 12,
1980, we said that "The Justice Department on
May 1 came out with a report finding the Greensboro
3 innocent of any wrong-doing on Nov. 3." This was
a gross misinformation. It should have read "The
Justice Department on May 1 came out with a re
port finding the Greensboro police innocent of any
wrong-doing on Nov. 3." It had stated in the report
that "... we wish to advise you that, after careful
review of the reports, we have concluded that there
is no basis for liability under the federal criminal
civil rights statutes on the part of any member of
the Greensboro Police Department."
This is straight-up letting the Greensboro police
off the hook and denying any government complicity in the planned assassination of the Communist
Workers Party 5 on Nov. 3. The state/FBI and District Attorney Schlosser have been working overtime
to try to cover up their cold-blooded murder of the
CWP 5 and now, as soon as the report came out
publicly, Schlosser jumped at the chance. After
coming out of closed doors with a grand jury,
Schlosser indicted three more anti-Klan fighters and
friends of the CWP. The fight now, instead of being
just the Greensboro 3, has been turned into the fight
for the Greensboro 6. Schlosser took this arrogant
action only because he knew he had the full backing
of the state. But the CWP and friends will continue
to surge forward with the struggle, to serve notice to
the ruling class like we did in Washington, D.C,
spraypainting the outside of the Attorney General's
office, dogging the campaign trail of presidential
candidates and to prepare for the dictatorship of the
proletariat in this decade. We will make the U.S.
ruling class think twice, three times before they
dare to try to attack or harass the CWP arid our
friends again. □
Serve Notice to Chief Spy
Civiletti!
Justice Department defaced
A slogan, allegedly spray-painted by members of the
Communist Workers Party, defaces the wall of the
Justice Department, under the portrait of Edward
Levy, attorney general under President Ford. The
slogan was in protest of the department's handling of
the Nov. 3 Greensboro clash between the CWP and
members of the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi party, which
left five dead.
PREPARE FOR THE
DICTATORSHIP OF THE
PROLETARIAT IN THE 80*

"It is not just an attack on the Communist
Workers Party. It's an attack on all. It is just the
first shot. Avenge the murder of the CWP 5 and
free the Greensboro 6 will be the clarion call to
kick off the class struggle of the 80's." says
Comrade Jerry Tung, General Secretary of the
Communist Workers Party.
That call was echoed on May 3 both in
Greensboro and Washington D.C. when over 100
demonstrators rallied simultaneously despite the
bourgeoisie's attempt to scare people off by talking on the press and radio about-the possibility
of violence.
Two days ago, on May 1, the Communist
Workers Party penetrated the security of the
Justice Department, and served notice to head
spy Civilleti by spraypainting the outside wall of
his office "Avenge {he Murder of the CWP 5".
This chief spy was so scared that he didn't even
dare to call his own goons on us for fear of
revealing his dirty attack on the CWP. After that
was Carter's D.C. election office. It was there
that the CWP also had spraypainted the doors.
But Carter's campaign workers quickly covered
it up, fearing that the sign might stir up the
anger of the masses against these dirty politicians
and bourgeois representatives. This fear of the
CWP was not just the exclusive domain of the
Democrats. The Republicans also shook at the
mention of the CWP. Earlier, the GOP had
planned a convention on May 3 right near the
CWP rally in Greensboro. But they didn't want
to be put on notice. Instead of facing the anger
of the people, being exposed on their lies
they've been feeding us, they hightailed out and
moved their convention to another area.
In fact, so scared were the bourgeoisie that
they turned the Greensboro rally into an armed
camp by ringing the 100 demonstrators with
dozens of uniformed and plainclothes cops, and
stationed sharpshooters on rooftops while the
demonstrators were protected by the CWP security system. So intense was the situation that even
the Greensboro Daily News/Recordhad to admit,
"Dozens 6f police, concerned that the indictment
of the six CWP members Friday on felony
charges would exacerbate tension, blocked off
Green Street from Market to Washington and
kept watch. Sharpshooters armed with binoculars
and rifles were stationed atop adjacent buildings."
"Government Plaza {was) under the intense
scrutiny of at least two security systems—the
Greensboro Police Department and the CWP."
CWP was prepared for another Kokomo where
the Party led a deliberate organized defense
against the possible attack of the cops and state
troopers, and the cops in Greensboro here knew
that. That's why they didn't dare to mess with
us.
The U.S. ruling class thought that they could
crush our spirit by attacking us harder, first by
killing our five comrades, then indict three more
innocent Party supporters along with the previous Greensboro 3. But the harder they hit, the
harder we'll hit them back, with all the more
people rallied to our side. Memories of who and
what the CWP 5 fought and died for run deep.
"Jim Waller was our national president. We're
here to revenge the murder of the CWP 5 and
support the Greensboro 6.>' cried Leon Johnson
of the North Carolina Trade Union Educational
League. "Even though out politics are not your
politics, I believe that your fight is our fight. This
government seems to love the scum of the earth.
