THE PRINCE OF THE LUMPEN & MAYOR OF BLACK LOS ANGELES, ALPRENTICE BUNCHY CARTER, DEPUTY MINISTER OF DEFENSE OF THE BPPSD
I had been taken by surprise when I discovered that one of the reasons that ex Bay Area Rapid Transit Officer Johannes Mehserle’s murder trial for killing Oscar Grant was justified to be moved out of Oakland was that it had been “Home of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense” (BPPSD).
It is ironic that after the Military-Industry-Congressional Complex committed so much money, resources, brain matter and technology, the BPPSD and its formation still strikes fear in their hearts. As a Manchild, I had no idea that a small band of struggling brothers and sisters from Oakland would win the hearts and minds of the people of the World. The BPPSD was the product of the ingenious and revolutionary courage and spirit of Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton.
The organization that they formed in October 1966 was incredibly ingenious in that it provided a platform and vehicle for some of most misplaced, disenfranchised and marginalized members of the community that Bobby often defined as “The Lumpen” to make a direct revolutionary constructive contribution to the struggle for freedom and justice in this country.
The feared BPPSD was the victim of the some of the most secret coordinated vicious, costly and illegal domestic Human Rights Violations in the history of the United States. The road to destroy and neutralize the Black Lumpen of the BPPSD and its Shining Prince ran right through Oakland.
THE NIGHT OF THE LUMPEN
On one night in Oakland, the Black Lumpen would gather to make a revolutionary contribution to an international movement to free the Minister of Defense, Huey P. Newton.
It was between November 13 and December 1967, Bobby Seale, Chairman of the BPPSD, called a meeting at a small church at 32nd and Grove in Oakland. It was just after Huey had been indicted for the October 29, 1967 homicide of Oakland Police Officer John Frey, and the wounding of Officer Hearne during an alleged random traffic patrol stop in West Oakland.
Before the meeting, an extremely humble appearing man with a weak handshake was circulating around introducing himself as the new BPPSD Minister of Information. A brother turned to me and asked, “Who was that?” I didn’t know at the time. It was Eldridge Cleaver.
There was something magical and spiritual about the meeting. The charismatic and fiery spirit of the gathering burned the air with exhilaration and anticipation. My young heart was beating fast as we assembled to order. My mind was racing full speed ahead as I seemed to have been in the mist of giants. I was filed with anxiety and excitement. This was a gathering of about 100 of the most charismatic and bad-assed brothers and sisters on the face of the planet, The Black Lumpen. One of the brothers exhuming with spirituality, magic and charisma was ALprentice Bunchy Carter out of Los Angeles. Among Bunchy’s contingent from L.A. was an impressive Herculean figure that stood out among the crowd, Baby-D. Baby-D was one of biggest and most muscular men that I had ever seen. He was a lumpen gladiator.
Brother Malcolm, a poet from Soul Students Advisory Council at Merritt Jr. College, took the center stage. He was a sharp contrast to the room full of battle-worthy hard-core soldiers in black leather coats, berets and revolutionary African attire.
Malcolm was tall and thin as a rail with a bushy black mustache and eyebrows. He wore round metal rimmed glasses. He was dressed in perfectly ceased wool slacks with a dark brown tweed sports coat with a sweater and shirt underneath with a wool scarf warped around his neck. He had on penny loafers with a pair pennies in the slots.
He read a poem dedicated to Huey accompanied by flute player. His poem trumpeted Huey as: “Warrior” “Bold Warrior” “Black warrior.” It was well suited for the atmosphere. Brother Malcolm was well received by the brothers and sisters. I was impressed with his poem, and how with his words he was able to quiet our spirits and compliment the tone of the meeting.
If I recall correctly, it was the brothers and sisters of the San Francisco Black Arts West Theatre that preformed an inspiring and powerful short skit dramatizing the October 28, 1967 incident with Huey, Gene McKinney, OPD Officers Frey and Hearne. After seeing the skit, we could visualize Gene and Huey’s revolutionary acts that night. I learned the power of the art of revolutionary drama.
THE PRINCE OF THE LUMPEN
Bobby introduced Alprentice Bunchy Carter, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Southern California Chapter of the BPPSD. Bunchy’s reputation had preceded him. The buzz among the crowd had mostly been about Bunchy, the former gang leader of the 5,000 strong Slausons, a Lumpen Army.
On that night, Bunchy, the Mayor of Black Los Angeles, was “The Prince of the Lumpen.” Huey had realized the great potential and magnitude of Bunchy as a panther leader and named him as one of his chief deputies. Bunchy’s spirituality and persona was powerfully high upon the night and burned the air. He seemed to glow in the mellow and gentle lights of the room. He seemed magnificent in coolness, character and pose as he stood and delivered a powerful message of love for Huey and vision for the vanguard, the BPPSD.
Bobby was a brilliant organizer, and a dynamic and an extremely articulate personality. He was electrifying and held us spellbound as he talked about the hero, Huey P. Newton. Bobby also undated us on Huey’s condition and his upcoming trial strategy.
He also introduced a potent national “Free Huey” campaign beginning in Oakland on Huey’s birthday on February 17, 1968. He implored us to use our imagination, creativity, arts and will to aspire to people, win their hearts and the minds in a victorious fight to “Free Huey.”
The brothers and sisters of the Lumpen that met that night was actually a close- knit group. Most of the individuals were known, respected and had a proven character within the community. The Black Community maintained a very viable boundless intelligence grapevine. It wasn’t just happenstance that Bunchy’s reputation would precede him, and he could shine, by consensus, above the ranks. We had so much hope.
The Black Lumpen was for real. It was a nucleus of enormous potential and importance to the movement. Huey’s vision had been if each man in the Black Community with a common cause picked up a gun it constitutes an army. By the very nature of an army, it takes political and economy power over its community. The Black Lumpen and its Shining Prince and its great potential to the Black Community and the Black Liberation Struggle did not go without notice of the U.S. military-intelligence fascist apparatus.
A little more than the year after the meeting of the Black Lumpen of BPPSD, the Prince would be dead at the age of 26. Less than 15 days later, most of the Lumpen would be purged from the BPPSD. Who benefited from death of the Prince and Great Purge of the Lumpen from the BPPSD?
COINTELPRO & THE ASSASSINATION OF THE LUMPEN PRINCE
On January 17, 1969, John Jerome Huggins, 23 and Alprentice “Bunchy” Carter of the BPPSD, were shot in the back and executed at UCLA’s Campbell Hall by Ron Karenga’s US (United Slaves) Simba paramilitary unit; accessories: George P. and Larry Joseph Stiner, Harold Jones, Donald Hawkins; the triggerman: Claude “Chuchessa” Hubert.
According to Huey, the Stiner brothers were intelligence gatherers for the FBI, while the triggerman Chuchessa Hubert was an undercover FBI agent, who after the assassinations was transferred into the New York office or Guyana. [1] Hubert has never been charged or pursued for the assassinations.
Bunchy and Huggins’ assassinations were arranged by COINTELPRO. The notorious FBI Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge, Richard W. Held, took credit for the killings.[2] The assassin and his accessories escaped in a waiting getaway car driven by FBI agent Brandon Clearly. [3] Undoubtedly, the assassinations had been planned
In the political assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, CIA and military intelligence operatives and assets were on the ground as accessories, intelligence controls, and observers. [4] If the FBI had prearranged the assassinations of Bunchy and Huggins as the evidence indisputably indicates, just as in the case of RFK, CIA and military intelligence operatives and assets would have been on the ground as well.
CONNECTING THE DOTS
The National Security Agency (NSA)
NSA Bloodline: Toni Cook
According to Larry Joseph (Watani) Stiner, just before the execution of Bunchy and Huggins he had been talking to or taking directions from Toni Cook. [5]
Toni Cook was a National Security Agency (NSA) bloodline. Cook was the daughter of a dentist and a linguist with the Top Secret NSA. [6] In military intelligence circles, the NSA means central, main, clearing house, central intelligence, and security agency. The CIA and NSA are direct English translations of the Reichsichethauptamt, the notorious R.S.H.A of Nazi Germany.
The R.S.H.A or Reichsichethauptamt (Reich Main Security Office or Reich Security Main Office) was an organization subordinate to Reichsfurhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler in his capacity as Chef der Deutschen Polizei (Chief of German Police) and Chief of the SS. The organization’s stated duty was to fight all “enemies of the Reich” inside and outside the borders of Nazi Germany. [7]
At the time of Bunchy and Huggins executions, Lt. Gen. Marshall Sylvester Carter, former deputy director of the CIA under Allen Dulles, was the director of the NSA. The NSA is the largest of the US intelligence agencies and is top secret; and exempt from domestic spying and of the Freedom of Information Act (FOLA).
From 1968 to the 70’s, the NSA joined the CIA/MK-ULTRA operations; and the COINTELPRO “racial matters” pacification programs along with Project CHAOS; Nixon’s Huston Plan; and the Public Disorder Intelligence Unit of the CCS (Criminal Conspiracy Section of the Los Angeles Police Department) to attack, expose, and neutralize an enemy list of “black extremists” just like Reichsfurhrer Himmler’s Reichsichethauptamt. Bunchy, the dynamic Deputy Minister of Defense of BPPSD and the Prince of the Lumpen would have been at the top of U.S. military intelligence domestic enemy list for neutralization.
According to Stiner, Toni Cook and Muminia Azizi of US managed to make their way to a small room at the back of the cafeteria and disappeared behind a closed door after Bunchy and Huggins were executed.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
Club Pink Pussycat & Jay Richard Kennedy: Elaine Brown
Elaine Brown, a woman with an absolutely bizarre background and history was there, too. According to Geronimo (Pratt) Ji Jada, Elaine Brown setup and incited the commotion at UCLA that led to the executions of Bunchy and Huggins. Ji Jada had succeeded Bunchy as the Chairman of the Southern California Chapter of the BPPSD. Ji Jada spent 27 years behind bars on murder charges trumped up by FBI SA Richard W. Held, and COINTELPRO.
Ji Jada maintains that she slapped one of the Simba Wachanga brothers (US paramilitary unit) whom she also had sexual relations with to trigger the assault. She ran to Huggins screaming that “She’d” been assaulted. Elaine as the agent provocateur of the UCLA incident is supported by Larry “Watani” Stiner. [8]
Additionally, Ji Jaga maintains that Elaine Brown was the BPPSD clandestine contact with a super mind-control CIA chief of psychology-war operations, Jay Richard Kennedy. [9]
Jay Richard Kennedy A.K.A Samuel Richard Solomonick was a white wealthy Hollywood author, composer, publisher and record executive. Undercover, Kennedy was an old school espionage agent. Kennedy had apparently been the eyes and ears of American military intelligence during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War. Back in the United States in 1939, he was rewarded by his services with a U.S. State Department contract to make U.S. propaganda films for Central and South America. [10]
During the civil rights movement, he was again the eyes and ears of American military intelligence, this time for the CIA and FBI. For the FBI, he ran a surveillance and counterintelligence operation called, Solo Project, to fund some covert “Racial Matters” operations related to the surveillance and assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. One of his civil rights contacts was James Leonard Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality (C.O.R.E.). [11]
In 1969, President Richard M. Nixon and his fascist administration appointed Farmer as an Assistant Secretary in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, a CIA/MK ULTRA institution. Farmer met regularly with COINTELPRO’s Associated Director of the FBI and Justice Department Public Information Chief, Cartha D. “Deke” DeLoach. [12]
Kennedy recruited Brown as a “honey-pot” out of Club Pink Pussycat in Hollywood where she worked as a cocktail waitress. A honey-pot is a term used to describe an intelligence agency operative (usually opposite sex but could be same sex) who is used to sexually attract and then ensnare a predetermined targeted individual into an affair in order to gain information, and or to lure the target in a way that he or she could be set-up, framed, arrested or assassinated. [13]
She claims that Jay R. Kennedy taught her to begin to appreciate myself as a black woman. Jay had taught her how to think of black people. Jay determined where Elaine lived and how she lived. Jay s ideas and rhetoric was hers. Her replies reflect Jay s voice, not her own. Jay Kennedy’s influence followed Elaine to UCLA. She was powerless to do anything to stop anything from going on in a relationship with Jay Richard Kennedy. It sounds like CIA-MK ULTRA mind control.
Ji Jada also insists that Brown had been an UCLA psychiatric subject. [14] Dr. Louis Jolyon West’s UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute was carrying out CIA-MK ULTRA mind control experiments out of UCLA. Dr. West was the CIA’s “Maestro of the Mind Control.”
Fromer U.S. Army Ranger Robert Singleton, 1961 C.O.R.E. Freedom Ride Arrest
A man named Robert Singleton was also there. Singleton was a former Special Forces Army Ranger trained at Fort Benning, Georgia. Fort Benning is home to the army rangers. Army rangers are taught to be silent killers, assassins, snipers, ambushers, and torturers for the New World Order.
Fort Benning is the home to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), which was known as the U.S. Army’s School of the Americas (Assassins). At the School of Assassins, Central and South American trainees were encouraged to torture and mass murder political dissidents just like the Nazis.
Allegedly, Singleton was in an office adjoining Campbell Hall with Dr. Beverlee Bruce, the head of UCLA’s high potential program that Bunchy had been a student of. Both Bunchy and Huggins were shot in the back and then reportedly Hubert repeatedly shot them in the head to make sure that they were dead. Singleton may have been the first at the foot of the bodies of Bunchy and Huggins in Campbell Hall. [15] .
Dr. Bruce reportedly had been Elaine Brown’s inside contact to the BPPSD. [16] Singleton had a civil rights movement relationship with Jay Richard Kennedy’s CIA contact, James Farmer of C.O.R.E. [17]
How Elaine Brown with her utterly strange and bizarre background was able to move into the top ranks as deputy minister of the Southern Chapter of the BPPSD has yet to be explained.
THE ROAD BACK TO OAKLAND & CIA CRACK COCAINE CONNECTION
The CIA
After the Southern Chapter of the BPPSD was neutralized with the FBI frame-up of Geronimo Pratt in 1972, Elaine Brown moved into Oakland, Home of the BPPSD. She became editor the Black Panther newspaper, and Panther candidate for the Oakland City Council in 1973 on the coattail of Bobby Seale running for mayor. In 1974, she became the chairman of the Oakland BBPSD Headquarters after Huey went into exile to escape (homicide) criminal charges in Oakland.
In 1977, Brown was a central figure in the election of the Alameda County Mafia Superior Court Judge Lionel Wilson as Oakland’s first Black Mayor. Wilson’s tenure as mayor began the CIA/Iran-Contra Cocaine Crisis Epidemic with his son “Mr. Steve” as the drug kingpin. “Mr. Steve” as he was known in the underworld was directly connected to the New York Spatola-Inzerillo-Gambino Mafia Mob drug distribution ring.
How Elaine Brown with her utterly strange and bizarre background was able to move into the top rank of the BPPSD as its Chairman has yet to be satisfactorily explained by Bobby Seale or anyone else.
The NSA
In 1986, the DEA discovered that two hangers in IIopango, Costa Rica, owned by the CIA and NSA, were used by the Lt. Co. Oliver North and CIA contract agent, Felix Rodriguez to fly cocaine into the hangers as part and parcel of the CIA/Iran-Contra Crack Cocaine U.S. domestic operations. [18]
In 1985, during the CIA/Iran-Contra Cocaine Crisis Epidemic in Oakland, Toni Cook, NSA bloodline, moved into Oakland with the Bay Area Black Unified Fund. From 1989 to 1990, she was the senior policy advisor for Oakland Mayor Elihu M. Harris that succeeded Lionel Wilson in office.
The crack epidemic refers to the surge of crack houses and crack cocaine use in major cities in the United States between 1984 and 1990. Fallout from the crack epidemic included a huge surge in addiction, homelessness, murder, theft, robbery, gang warfare, and long-term imprisonment among the Lumpen. The first effects of the epidemic started in the early 1980s, but the DEA officially classifies the time of the epidemic starting in 1984 and ending in 1990, in what can be considered to be the height of the epidemic. [19]
Between 1984 and 1994, the homicide rate among the Lumpen aged 14 to 17 more than doubled, and the homicide rate for black males aged 18 to 24 increased nearly as much. During this period, the black community also experienced an increase in fetal death rates, low birth-weight babies, weapons arrests, and the number of children in foster care. [20]
The epidemic affected all major American cities that had significant chapters of the BPPSD. Among the cities most severely impacted were Philadelphia, New York City, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Detroit, St. Louis, New Orleans, Miami and particularly Oakland, Home of the BPPSD. [21]
In August 1996, the late Gary Webb had begun his explosive San Jose Mercury Newspaper series exposing CIA Crack Cocaine domestic operations dumping tons of crack among the Lumpen in Oakland, San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles.
On December 1996, Cook was the infamous Oakland Board of Education Director that initiated the Ebonics’ resolution debacle as a diversion to Webb’s volatile CIA/Iran-Contra Crack Cocaine domestic operations public exposure. [22]
On December 10, 2004, Webb was found dead in Sacramento. Webb had planned to continue to publicly expose CIA/NSA operatives involved in illegal crack cocaine trafficking. The coroner found that Webb had committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head. That’s right; he shot himself TWICE in the head. That dog don’t hunt.[23]
HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS: ASSASSINATIONS & DISINTEGRATION OF THE BPPSD
Bunchy and Huggins assassinations at UCLA mirrors the February 21, 1965 assassination of Malcolm X when pandemonium broke out among the 400 n the Audubon Ballroom at 166th Street and Broadway in New York. After the shootings began in Campbell Hall, a similar pandemonium broke out among the students in Campbell Hall. The stories still differ as to who and whom had executed Bunchy and Huggins.
Claude “Chuchessa” Hubert has not been called to answer if he or someone else executed Bunchy and Huggins, and who and whom directed him to murder them. And who and what government agency, agencies and officials armed, abetted and aided him or them.
Oakland has an ugly history and dark secret regarding the persecution and conspiring to disintegration the BPPSD; and the setup, prosecution, and assassinations of Little Bobby Hutton, Alprentice Bunchy Carter, John Huggins, Huey P. Newton, and hundreds of other brothers and sisters for solely political purposes.
One thing is clear, the military-industrial complex wanted to stuff Bunchy’s revolutionary promise and persona among the Lumpen of the World. It was a political assassination.
The fear and promise of a revolutionary Lumpen arising upon the people was so great that it caused the military-industrial complex to seek a narco-pharmacrological solution. The mass drugging of the Lumpen with psychoactive drugs (crack cocaine) was designed to force them to cope with the inequities and injustices of society in altered states of consciousness instead of organized confrontations with grievances.
Oakland has an ugly history and dark secret regarding the persecution and conspiring to disintegrate the BPPSD; and the setup, prosecution; assassinating and neutralizing prominent and independent men and women of color like Little Bobby Hutton, Huey P. Newton, Charles Alex Gregory, Dr. Marcus Foster, Dorothy King; and the CIA Crack Cocaine domestic operation that has shaken the very core essence of the Black Community. Oakland has an ugly history and dark secret regarding the persecution and conspiring to disintegrate the BPPSD; and the setup, prosecution, and assassinations of our people has to be to driven to the “Light of Day” with an International Human Rights Opinion Tribunal.
