News from the Soviet Union

That is how the Tower of Babel was demolished… all of the different languages, tremors and final disintegration that was seen all over the world! The similarity is uncanny, since in that tower of Babel there was a conglomerate of rich rulers and slaves. This empire of evil was smitten by the power above.
America carries enormous blame in the world. But not for a moment does it feel the blame. It always covers itself in the cartoon characters of Disneyland and glitzy Los Vegas spectacle, aviation world contacts and lord and ruler of the cosmos. The world is left to exploitation… no wonder that the world dislikes America.
It is hated by the native Indians who are grouped into small reservations, made to perform their native dances for the pleasure of white men. The Black African-Americans dislike USA in their majority, after looking into their history as their forefathers were kidnapped as slaves and brought as cattle to America, there to work on plantations. Mexicans also have no great love for America, which had taken from them the lands rich in oil and gold. The people of Panama also dislike America since it had taken their land and cut in half and are regularly putting down the liberation movement and changing their elected presidents and putting them in American jails. Nicaragua of course has much to hate America for: losing their freedom to the US supported Contras with money.
The Japanese people have also much to hate America for: atom bombing the two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and hundreds of thousands deaths. Millions of Chinese people also hate America since they were called the enemy of America. Europeans also have much to dislike America for: its abolishment of their culture and supplemented American culture of mysticism, philosophy, and America turned Europeans into a depository of all that is called "American Culture."
The Russians also hate America, whom they blame, among others, for the loss of the mighty Soviet Union. Together with internal traitors they are abolishing Soviet science, army – each year they take away our scientists, professors, researchers, doctors and they put into the seat in the Kremlin supporters of the "New World Order." Civilization hates America for the narcotic trade and other ills that are exported all over the world as democracy.
I remember as I stood on the bridge in Belgrade when American planes were bombing the city, waterworks, bridges and homes with American rockets and missiles and seeing children's kindergartens go up in smoke and rubble. I stood there helpless together with thousands of Serbians, willing to sacrifice our lives to save the bridge in Belgrade. I prayed that that the rocket or missile that wrecked a historic thousand-year-old church would turn around and go right into Manhattan! Not all of my prayers were answered.
Hate for the American TV programs and smutty pornographic magazines that flooded our country.
We are asked by our powers in Russia that we must feel the shame for Manhattan and Washington. But where were these present Russian rulers when Yeltsin gave the order to bomb the Russian parliament building, full of people, members of parliament and patriots and mashed them into "hamburgers"? Where were the tears of American people for the thousands that were butchered in Moscow? Where was a two-minutes of silence or flags lying at half-mast?
How do they compare – Manhattan and the Home of Soviets in Moscow?
No, these were not terrorists as was not Zoya Komsomolskaya a hero of the USSR who during World War II torched enemy fascists homes and fought as a partisan as did millions of Soviet people.
Now, President Bush will get the might of the USA and bomb the whole world into submission? American flags are in everyone's hand, and American mothers will pray that these flags will save their loved ones in the confrontation that America has started.
America must be made to come to account… only then will there be green grass growing where death and blood flowed!
Dear comrades:
In the past "Proletaraskaya Gazeta" has reported that rank-and-file troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) are forming a union structure in a number of cities in Russia in order to defend their struggle against the arbitrariness and corruption of local authorities. The unions of the MIA in their struggle against the exploiting class have now established official fraternal links with our Federation of Workers Union of Russia, "Defense of Labour" (Zashchita).
The ruling bourgeoisie is terribly afraid of the alliance of the workers unions and the rank-and-file troops of the MIA, and it is doing its best to disrupt it. A year ago, the authorities of Novisibirsk tried its best to liquidate the union of local troops. Indictments have been fabricated again the activists of this union movement. Today the local authorities of Tomsk are using the same dirty methods, including the creating of conditions favourable for the liquidation of union activists.
We call upon all the workers' organizations in Russia and abroad, all communists, honest and progressive people, to support in these hard times the rank-and-file troops of the MIA, who are being subjected to physical terror by the bourgeois authorities of Russia.
Protests against the arbitrariness of the authorities against the activists of the union of the MIA in the city of Tomsk may be addressed to:

On October 6, 2001 there took place a Congress of CPSU (Lenin-Stalin) where delegates from all of the 21 regions of Russia gathered in order to start the process of making this workers' movement Trudovaya Rossia, led by Victor Anpilov, into a viable political party and have it thus registered by the authorities.
This Congress of "Trudovaya Rossia" adopted an appeal, called:
"To Communists of the Soviet Republics"
It is painful to talk about this, but to our great shame and to the happiness of our enemies who are anti-working class and anti-communists, to this day the Soviet Communists have not been able to fight opportunism and waywardness in our ranks. The danger of the left and right opportunists is real and can lead to the complete discredit of the Communist movement in total and each party individually. In such disarray the Communists cannot lead the working class of the Soviet Union to resurrect the USSR and socialism. While we flounder the imperialists of USA, Britain, Israel and Germany are preparing a Third World War! Our task is to overcome these divisions and give rebirth to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. We have to start from the bottom, to convince our Soviet people that without a united communist party, we cannot resurrect the Soviet Union.
We, the delegates, suggest to all the leaders of the present communist and workers parties existing on the territory of the USSR to come to the Unity Conference of "Workers Russia," on November 24-25, 2001, in Moscow, decide on a plan of action to disrupt the plans of the imperialists and to set up an Organizing Committee in order to prepare for a Unity Congress of Soviet Communists no later than at the beginning of next year.

On October 27th in Gorky Leninskiye in Moscow there took place a Unity Congress of the Russian Communist Workers Party and also the Revolutionary Party of Communists… .a unity of two parties into one, after many meetings and negotiating between the two parties for over a year.
The fact that complete agreement was reached on ideological and organizational questions allowed the congress delegates to support fully the suggestions for this unity.
Victor A. Tiulkin, the First Secretary of the RCWP, and Anatoly Kruichkov, Chairman of the Political Council of the RPC, spoke before the delegates and the main theme was that the time for the unification process has ripened and is of urgent significance for the whole Communist movement in the former Soviet Union and its solution to the problem of Communist dispersal and multiparty situation.
Both leaders called upon all other Communist parties to follow the example of the RCWP and RCP.
After the speeches, discussions and debates, the delegates welcomed this decision with a standing ovation, expressing by their continuous applause very great satisfaction with the fact that unity was established.
A program, rules were approved and local committees set up Political Council of this united Communist party. The Congress reaffirmed the common position of the RCWP-RCP on the revolutionary strategy for the power of the working class and its allies and took some other organizational decisions.
This Unity Congress adopted a final statement with a call to support the unification movements, with these words:
"We cal/ to our ranks the advanced representatives of the working class and working people, all those for whom the ideals of social justice, the Soviet Power, Socialism and the Soviet Union are dear – under the Red Banner with Hammer and Sickle – the symbol of unity of the working class!"
May This Be the Beginning of a Mighty United CPSU!
The CIA's Kitty Cat
SpiesFrom the newspaper "Pravda," Russia
The Times newspaper reported that in the 1960s the CIA (USA) was training cats to be spies against the Soviet Union.
The project reads like a horror story in terms of sheer cruelty to animals and will provide a wealth of information for the animal welfare groups. The project was named "Acoustic Kitty" in which a cat was fixed with eavesdropping devices in a series of operations.
The cat's operating procedure was simple: It was supposed to sit near the intended target so that conversations could be picked up and transmitted by the cat's internal electronic devices. After five years of planning and experiments, the cat was fitted with the equipment and sent out on its first spy mission, its tail having been transformed into an aerial. D-Day spelt disaster for this "Kitty Spy," since the poor animal was instantly killed by a passing taxi, as it crept towards its first assigned target.
The source of this information is the CIA's hitherto-secret files from its Science and Technology Directorate, regarding US undercover operations during the Cold War.
The mission was thereafter classified as "not practical."
Certainly, Osama Bin Laden will quake in terror, if from the depths of his cave in Kandahar he hears a mournful 'meow'. It could be an improved CIA agent disguised as a cat, or vice-versa!

It is extremely hard to explain to all my e mail friends all over the world, who banked their hopes on China as a socialist country which would pick up the struggle against US imperialism and expansionism, now that the Soviet Union is no more! The World Trade Organization which is the economic arm of US imperialism and against which hundreds of millions of people are demonstrating all over the world… now under pressure from the US, China is being admitted as a member into the WTO!?!
How do you think progressive people and all those thousands of young people who protested, who got beaten up, who were killed... how are they going to look at this scenario?
They will ask… what is the difference now between capitalism-imperialism and the "socialism" that China is expounding? How can you fight and struggle against imperialism when you are part and parcel of its economic warfare? What message does this send to the Third World countries which looked up to China as the leading Socialist force, next to Cuba, North Korea and in some ways to Vietnam?
Are we supposed to rush to Wal-Mart, the biggest exploiter of labour all over the world, and buy goods that are now manufactured in China by non-union labour and that flood the markets of the world, at tremendous profits for Wal-Mart? The same Wal-Mart which will not allow any labour union to represent its employees?
Is this Marxism-Leninism?
Oh, how we need Joseph Stalin now!

US imperialism wants to build an oil and gas pipeline directly to Europe from the Caspian Sea in addition to the route via Turkey to the Mediterranean. Why? In order to frustrate Germany and Russia in shipping the fuel to Europe, as well as the plan of China to extend a similar pipeline across her borders.
The US is determined to keep both Germany and Japan dependent on the USA for their oil and gas supplies.
The US is using the September 11th events as a pretext for conquering Afghanistan!
The role of Russia in this is deplorable and it is acting as a puppet of US imperialism!
