European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 27, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 10 the stars and stripes Friday june 27.1986 letters South Africa perceived As generous charitable and decent1 in a recent letter to the editor the writer exhorted her concerned readers to deplore the alleged racial be  policies of South Africa by looking out for indications on packages and cans such As produced in South Africa made in South Africa " and so on. 1 would like to exhort All readers to do just the opposite. Whenever you see any product stamped produced in South Africa made in South Africa or Rosa Republic of South Africa buy thai product and veep another alleged victim of racist policies doing something millions of europeans and americans arc not doing working. Yes working producing for example such rare minerals As Platinum and Vanadium so vital to our own National Security and otherwise available Only from the soviet Union at much higher prices. Yes working producing a livelihood for some two million foreign workers from Rosa s ungrateful neigh Boring Stales. Rosa is the Only country in All Africa honoured with a Selback problem. Yes working so they can maintain their record of writer says soviets this is a reply to the letter to Kalya. Before you and other Loyal americans blame Ameri Ca for russian people s fear of armageddon first gel a shortwave radio and listen. Just last night soviet bloc stations said a Quarter million marines staged intimidating Maneu vers in the East that american troops Are massing on the Border of Nicaragua for an inva Sion thai lop . Officers helped Israel make plans to invade Syria and if that much creative news was t enough blamed the War Between Iran and Iraq on the United states. Except for inc one Small step during which they praised americas achievements they have eternally recycled their litanies on . Imperialism and corrupt lion. Indeed to continue to complain about american propaganda is to note a. Ceiling leak while ignoring inc Hurricane of lies and half truths outside. Second learn russian history. Russian Peoples have endured centuries of invasions from he Golden horde France Sweden Poland Turkey Post world War i allies and Germany As Well As oppression at Home. Invasion anxiety alone is almost enough o sex More Blacks in Rosa driving cars than people driving i n the soviet Union. Yes working for example on Rosa s All important railway system. Some 83 percent of 15 million tons of exports from Botswana Malawi Zaire Zambia and Zimbabwe is carted on Rosa railways to Rosa seaports for shipment overseas the chinese built Lusaka dares Salam railway having been literally stolen several years ago Botswana having a leg of the Rosa Railroad which affords that desert slate the same viability As the Nile does Egypt and the other three states unable sorely on the Harare Beira Railroad route due to a slight problem with those Gallant Freedom fighters in Mozambique. Some a countries in the Southern half of the Afri can continent rely directly or indirectly on Rosa rail roads for their viability. Last year Rosa produced  billion Worth of exports to 47 african countries. Is anyone so naive As to believe that this lot was produced Only by White work ers in just the first nine months of 1985, Zimbabwe sold $85 million Worth of exports to Rosa. Did no Black people share in this Bonanza there arc whole neighbourhoods of Black millionaires in Soweto and yes working As do the still great numbers of those Blacks who were assembled in Durban recently for the Bunch of the United workers Union of South Africa Umus and who under their Leader or. Juli Ernes Manzi should a Una Minous no to sanctions against that noblest of Stales. South Africa. So i say to All those who really care about the Black Man s economic Fate in Rosa you should be out therein the commissaries buying everything produced in that most generous charitable and decent  expressing in Small but meaningful ways that informed readers do no so easily fall for the pie ties of Liberal do goobers whose concern might belter be directed at All those smug people Here in Germany whose Comfort comes largely from the natural Gas produced in the soviet Union by real slave labourers mostly estonian and latvian Jim a and Trolle it Kinbarg Germany Are victims of their own fear factories Plain having subjected neighbouring countries As buffers against invasion and maintained armed forces far in excess of what is needed for defense. Individual russians have Little desire for Conquest although their Empire spans thousands of Miles. Nor do they individually Lake 10 unjust causes Stalin had to Appeal to Ira Dinal values nol communism to get them to fight against Hitler at first. Third read about communism and communist literature. It Stales its intentions. Born during the More idealistic i9lh Century it called workers of the world unite against the bourgeoisie 10 gain political Power and the Means of production to put an end to the squalor produced by the Industrial revolution. Promising everything communism in the 2plh Cen Tury has become in reality regimented self righteous a Ocny with Little 10 offer the world other than a loaded weapon and an empty stomach. The extent to which this intellectually bankrupt idealism welded o the russian Empire is a threat to peace and Freedom is nol universally acknowledged. Many intellectuals refuse to accept the realities of the Berlin Wall the killing Fields and Afghanistan placing unrealistic Faith in pea a initiatives. Unless they Wise up no group May prove to have done More to bring on the very holocaust they profess to Hale. It s True thai Samantha Smith warmed the hearts of even some old fogies in the Kremlin. The .s.r.printed a postage stamp in her Honor. It is also True that among the world citizens who attend International gatherings there Are sincere warm hearted soviet bloc Peoples As Well As  agents. At the world esperanto Congress i ate a big Mac with two bulgarian ladies. That they know i shared their concern for peace will have Little effect on Politi Cal reality. American participation needed to turn Soviel bloc Peoples opinions would Lake years to be , they including Kalya Are More the Vic Tims of the fear factories in their own countries than a showcase Lour of the .a.
