PRESS RELEASE :October 1971 INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT

PROGRESS REPORT

On October 27,1,76 the POLAROID REVOLTJTIONARY WORKERS MOVEMENT called for an International ,Boycott of all Polaroid Instant Gadgets.W~ would like to report that public support in condemning Polaroid in its role as sole supplier of instant pass photos and race identity cards in S :uth Africa has been shown by the loss of 415 million to-date in Polaroid's sales. Polaroid has admitted losses of $4 million in the first quarter ,and $11 million. in the third quarter of 1971. We thank all those right-on thinking people who have support4d our campaign this past year as well as call for further and intensified international support as we go into phase II of the International Boycott.W~ feel that those financial losses should influence Polaroid,thru the workers or stockholdcrs,and that the public's response will make it unprofitable to remain in South Africa.

POLAROID's EXPERIMENT TO PROTECT ITS SOUTH AFRICA INVESTMENT Polaroid will put the final touches on its PR campaign in January] :197a'. That date ends the-so-called 'Experiment in South Africa'.Polaroid has tried to. saturate the public with facts and figures about the economy of South Africa, with the ploy of increased investment in South Africa as a means of ending the insanity,brutality,and inhumanity of that ra pe-identifying system,apartheid.The fadt remains that Black South Africa -eleven years ago-chose armed warfare as the means of gaining their freedom. The fact is that Polaroid's investment in South Africa,and that of all foreign investors,is seriously threathened by the Liberation Movements in Angola,Mozambique,and Gunica Bisseau,and directly threathened by Blacks in Namibia,Rhodesia,and South Africa itself.The Polaroid Experiment is a part of the plan to maintain the power of the white fascist forces in South Africa and must be condemned now. There is no need to wait until Jan.'72.The results were ,established when Polaroid was confronted by PRI'lM.South Africa needs the pass and Polaroid to maintain apartheid.Polaroid 'will rex4niih So4t1A.Avica and continue to supply that insane regime with its cameras,film,and ID equipment.
POLAROID PROMISES TO STRENGHTEN APARTHEID with IBM's HELP While Polaroid and ether supporters of racist South Africa are publicly talking of change in the apartheid system (DL&LOcITE),they are planning and preparing the reinforcement of that viscious system. In Feltruary 1972,the South African regime will begin a pew registration plan under the Population Registrat. ion Act of 1950. The plan is to replace the passbook and race IDs with a new eOMPU1'ERIZED ID GA RD. A Polaroid ID Card produced by the ID-3 Instant Identification System hooked up to an IBM 3ETTZITIFutor Data Bank. On March 2,1971 in the South African Hanrard states "The plan was scheduled to begin in June,1971 but was canceled(due to PRT',TM's campaign). It will begin the first of Feb.,1972 ,will employ L38 persons under the Ministry of Interior,and Deputy Secretary will be in charge." The implementation of the plan will take five years.
TECHNOLOGICAL FASCISM This is a new phase for the fascists in South Africa,technological fascism that knows no humanity,Now the police cab be replaced by a computor box,and the pass and race Id with a Polaroid Data Gard. We are dealing with the same mentality that reigned in Nazi Germany and that intends to put South Africa into an. era that does not allow for conventional destruction.The result of Polaroid's and IBM's technological assistance in South. Africa the same system of population registration is, used in South Vietnam under Operation Phoenix - is aimed at eliminating the,: forces if liberation in all of Southern Africa. ' :00 FUTURE of PR' , rM e. 0. :,.

The future of PRWM is therefore very clear.and necessary.We will continue to intensify our efforts against the Polaroid Corporation and all US companies in South Africa.The International Boycott,already a success,will continue with reinforced efforts nationally and internationally.T~ie will continue to work to bring about a consciousness in the US concerning' the role of the government, the corporations, and an unknowing public that aid and abet that inhuman system of forced labor. have e v panded our functions and have expanded our membership to include not only Polaroid workers and former Polaroid employees,but also any right-on thinking person who supports the struggle for the liberatiob of Southern Afric4 and the international liberation of all Black Peoples.' to must and will continue our public opposition to forced identity cards being issued thru out. this country under various innocent disguises.WZ" are opposed to the recent plan forcing high school students in Boston,Cambridge, Richmind B e rkeley Mem-ohis,New Orleans,Chicag6,Detroit,ITEshington.D.C.,and too many more cities to carry an identity: card and to; be entered into a national computor data IDnk.T'Te see an increasing similarity between the laws of South Africa and the United States,and the resulting conditions. VTe call upon.the' public to,deal with the seriousness of compulsory identity cams and the uniform means being imposed -Polaroid ID- N f Y i l before ----

The Cambridge plot is the result of student protests against racism and a call for improvement in black studies by black students who showed their disfavor through peaces: ful pickets. The answer to' black students was ,implemenCation of student I.D.s and thus, t.hf veil of Democracy was removed, Nazism stepped in and now no student is allowed in school or to use school facilities such as the library unless he is able to produce his regulaton I.D. This same method was installed by Adolph Hitler in Germany in 1933. Those readers too young to remember World War II and Nazism, need only to ask a senior relative to learn the many devious ways of subterfuge and manipulation used by the Nazi regime to enslave the total German population. Blacks have been given fair warning by the 1IERAI.DDISPATCj I through the years ; and with the building of deten- j lion camps, `'no-knock" laws (which means police can break

Tire Committee continues t. If the guerrillas were able to hold out for a period of time then the population of the ghetto would be classified through an office for the control and organization of inhabitan s. This office would distr!bute `census cards' which would bear a photograph of the individual, the letter of the district in which he lives, his house and street number, pod a letter designating his home city." Readers, this is what is in store for Black l\rnericans today. Police agencies would then be able to make arrests without warrants as all guarantees usually so-called guaranteed by the Constitution would be suspended. Blacks who have not yet fallen into the photo-identification. trap should avoid it at all costs. This means Polaroid Mastercharge, Bankamericard or any other credit card trap. The U.S. Justice Department's Immigration and Naturalization Service after protests from the 'American Civil Liberties Union and the Association of Immigration and Nationalities Lawyers dropped its pl miead i ssue of voluntary I.D. cards to all L'.S. citizens. The president of Polaroid, Edward Land, is a specialist in p h o t o- identifiaction and is widely credited with working with the CIA to develop the i U-2 spy planes.

Now Polaroid ID-2 and ID-3 systems, able to produce a finished card with full-color pho' tograph and data on a single piece of film, is here to identify and enslave 40 million blacks in just sixty seconds. Polaroid tested and perfected the system in apartheid South Africa where it is used for passbooks (that inhuman race identifying system in South. Africa where a black caught without his passbook can be jailed without trial). Polaroid, thus takes the first step toward the establishment of apartheid in the U.S. A child can be taught to use the systern In fifteen minutes and the Polaroid I.D. is computer cornpatible. This means that the card is fed into a computer to get any and all inforrnaion on an individual from the police,1 FBI and CIA records. Provisions have already been made by the Committee on UnAmerican Activities, backed by

ID cards are the first step towards computerizing every man, woman and child in the United States. The next step is detention and enslavement of any black person suspected of being a government termed black nationalist or revolutionary guerrilla. Every totalitarian government has devised a tool or some means of subjugating its people through., identity cards. In the past, however, these systems have been deficient because cards could be tampered with and altered. Polaroid has put an end to all that by using its sophisticated technological know-how to seal the I.D. card in unbreakable Platic and register the data on computers. Cambridge, Massachu setts and Richmond. Virginia have secondary school I.D.s but Columbia, South Carolina has gone one step further down the road to Nazism and population control --- fingerprinting school children. The South Carolina house has passed a bill to permit fingerprinting of school children and it is expected to win approval by the State Senate, The purpose of I.D. cards is obvious_ They are an instrument of control and intimidaa lion. In Vietnam, all Vietnas mese at age 13 are required to carry on their person at all times an ID card. If found without a card, the Vietnamese is subject to arrest or death as a suspected.Vietcong. Nazi Germany's master of ! propaganda; Goering, has been the mainstay influence on Mad.ii Ison Avenue advertising. The key word is saturation. Polaroid is saturating the public from every direction through private companies, banks, civic authorities, y o u th councils, government agencies and - educational boards. Blacks should not be tricked ! into joining the mad white rush for. identification enabling the' long arm of the power structure to reach out and touch you at i ill. Parents should not give their consent for school I.D. cards for their children and' I should vehemently resist any inclusion of such identification cards into the school regula' tions.

ANOTHER POLAROID EXPERL ENT This fall-starting Sept.8,1971--all Cambridge public high school students will be given an ID card with Polaroid color photo,ID number,detailed info,codes,made into at least two identical cards at-once,and stating that the card must be carried at all times. The card will be encased in anindestrue tible plastic ; thimeans that any s attempt ' to open or alter the card will destroy it. The ID cards will be supplied by Avant Corp. of L inc iln, Yla s s. The Avant Corp. produces instant' identification systems,boasts`,173 difierentq types if systems,uses only Polaroid instant film in all its systems. Because Pola-oid film is not compatible with conye tional cameras, and is compatible only n Polaroid cameras,and Polaroid has a world monoply in instant photography,Avant is and must be licensed by Polaroid to reproduce its cameras.In reality Avant is a front for Polaroid set up in 1960 after the Sharpeville } ssacre,Avant sells the Polaroid ID equipm4nt and film in the sensitive areas :South Afriwa,South 'Vietnam, and now the Cambridge schools.On Oct.13,1971 the PHOENIX_ quoted a Polaroid executive as saying "You should go after Avant,a company right near here.They work on ID systems and have no compunctions about selling to the Bantu govermmnet.", when asked about Polaroid's sales in South Africa,Now Polaroid via Avant will be suppling youth thru out the US with the same ID wards required in South Africa and Vietnam under penalty of f Ines, jail,and death.+, ) 4 a' The purpose of the ID card is obvious - contrthl, intimidation, and a closer step toward fascism. Avant's systems have the same features as Polaroid's systems.Both produce as many as four III cards at once,and both are computor-compatilbe, Both boast of having ID systems used by the highest levels of US governmen ;,armies of the world, colleges,high schools,banks,drivers licenses(i'4ass. uses Polaroid ID + Social Security number),all governemnt employees,and numerous industries and businesses. The youth of the world are next. What about thebhbies? Now is the time to organize active resistance to compulsory identification. PBWM is working with high schools students in Cambridge and Boston,and is trying to inform more high schools students about the dangers of the p cards, This is an experiment to be handed down to the elementary schools.and future generations. Stop the ID now-before its too late, "-Check. the high schools and colleges --find out what type if ID system is used o' planned. And why? *Let students and general public know danger of identity cards.W'e can provide info on role of Polaroid and Avant and forced identity cards. *Organize and plan active resistance to identification.

PROGRES" REPORT :THE INTERMATTONAL BOYCOTT The International Boycott is afflicting Pola oid8s sales.Polaroid has reported a loss of $14 million in the first quarter of 1971, and a decline in net earnings , and a loss of 11 a share, On July the report of net earings was up 1 million or 2 a share. This stills leaves a low for the first half of 1971 due to heavy loss in the f first, and a net loss of $4 million or 1E4 a share. POWER TO THE PEOELE !. c /, /;.-, i-T.,. t 8, -s L/,-e-- /
INTERNATI)NAL SUPPORT 7--PRWN in LONDON A member of PRWM went to London July 5,1971 at the invitation and sponsorship of the British Anti--Apartheid Movement.Carolina Hunter spoke at the Anti-Apattheid Movement's Annual Freedom Day Conference,and spent time in London meeting with groups for future action and support of the international boycott. The fact that the police of Birmingham,England,had just purchased an ID-3 lnatant Identification System from Polaroid added to the interest and importance of the trip.PRWM's literature will be circulated by students unions thru out the univ. of England,and groups in England gave PRWI\i the assurance that the International Boycott of Polaroid products and resistance to Polaroid IDs will be entended. The government has alredy said that it will require Identity Cards for all British citizen if England joins the Common Market. The Brisitsh Bill, xlohrril.trice li-Chotlives and work of blacks in England,has provisions requiring an ID card,and gives police the right to demand evidence of one's identity.And yet the Birmingham policee claims that the ID-3 System just purchased is for internal use only. C 9 Hunter visited Polaroid's British factories and attempted to talk to the workers,and was told by the manager of the sunglass division,A.Datis "You can't see the workers here.They're haspy and docile.We pay them a little more than-the union, and give them a bonus.
