| We would like to inform
you about our first pamphlet we spread and worked with from the 17th of
September on in both parts of Germany. Following published articles will be
translated as soon as possible. Will the third World War come? this is what many ask in the face of the attacks in the USA. The USA are answering with revenge for what was an inhuman answer to the inhuman policy of the USA, their thesuppressing of other peoples. There have been poorer reasons for starting a World War. But the cause is much deeper. For a hundred years now it is daily life that the imperialist powers are aiming at dividing the world between themselves. First, this is done with economic means and fights about the regions of influence, but these fights cannot stay peaceful forever. After the First World War, the Imperialists lost a sixth, after the Second World War they even lost a third of the world as a sphere of influence. The people were no longer willing to live under the yoke of Capitalism. By and by the Imperialists grabbed the lost spheres of influence back. For example during the war in Corea and the war in Vietnam, the USA tried desperately and most brutally to keep their influence or to get it back - they never achieved it then. For 42 years now, the Cuban people are suffering uncountable victims and losses that are claimed by terrorist actions and attacks on the side of the USA. For decades there were and are bitter economic fights. In the fight against Communism, the German Imperialism was again lulled and fed to grow strong again by the USA. (Our government tells us to be thankful for that.) But also this Imperialism is claiming its imperialistic rights. After the Second World War that has brought unnamable suffering over the world, it shook loose off the chains that the Allied Forces had bound it with after the year 1990. With and through the annexation of the GDR it made the world order after the Second World War break down. Since then it is meddling into the internal affairs of the Polish State but also of other souvereign states, like the Baltic States. It conducts a policy of splitting-up of its neighbour countries, the very countries that used to be its spheres of influence, like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia - the latter to gain still greater influence further East. And it is the Balkans, where the contradictions between the imperialists led to war already twice, because here the spheres of imperialist influence are not fixed. What is boiling in the Balkan region is the fight for power between the military super-power USA and the economic super-power FRG. Yes, we do live on top of a volcano! The shock about the victims in the USA is what the German Imperialism uses to make the whole country ripe and ready to go to war. And it is also using this shock to heat up racism within the country: Anybody who even looks arab is made and treated as a scapegoat, is looked at as a suspicious person. So the racist law to control and cut immigration is still tightened against the immigrants without anybody saying a word. In the same time, the control over the population is strengthened and tightened under the mask of a so-called fight against terrorism. And under the mask of the article 5 of the NATO Charter, the udemocratic law of so-called internal emergency is implemented again, a law that was so bitterly fought against by the western german population in 1968. This law means that any cut of democracy is possible and legitimate. Anybody can according to this law, for example, be rightfully forced into the army or into militaristic services, should the government see the need to do so. All of this is preparation of war. And it is especially the case, when we look at the facts within the army: the greatest and largest armament program of the Bundeswehr that was ever conducted since the re-introduction of a german army after the Second World War in 1952 is taking place under our eyes. Yes, the german people is going out on the streets - but only to follow the call of the government to step out. Candles are burned a lot these days, to memorate the victims in the USA, and the USA on the other hand is being begged for sensible and moderate actions. But when the houses in Yugoslavia were bombed to the ground, when thousands were killed for no reason, then (almost) nobody raised a hand. People, be alert!
