Exclusive Interview With Huey P. Newton Gun Club Leader
Across the country, as race riots and protests ensue under the banners of “Black Lives Matter” and “Stop Police Brutality,” local police departments have been the subject of much criticism and pressure, both from below on the streets and above from the Obama administration and the Justice Department. Following the tragic fatal shootings of four Dallas Police Department officers and one DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) police officer by Micah X. Johnson, much attention was placed on militant Black Nationalist organizations, such as the New Black Panther Party and the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, for their alleged connection to Johnson. In an exclusive over-the-phone interview with The New American, General Babu Omowale, the co-founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club and the national defense minister for the People’s New Black Panther Party, discussed the gun club, his open admiration for communist Chinese revolutionary Mao Tse-tung, plans for the creation of a sovereign independent black nation within the United States with the expected support from China and Cuba, and his thoughts on Micah Johnson.
The New American: What is the difference or relationship between the Huey P. Newton Gun Club and the People’s New Black Panther Party?
Babu Omowale: The Huey P. Newton Gun Club is made up of multiple organizations. It was founded with at least four organizations at the time of its conception. Those organizations would include the People’s New Black Panther Party, a local militia called Guerrilla Mainframe, also another local militia called African Angels, and the fourth organization being the Black Militia Nation. So … it is made up of multiple organizations, whereas the People’s New Black Panther Party is just one singular organization.
