ATTACK THE CENTERS, THE BASES, AND THE STRATEGISTS OF THE AMERICAN
MILITARY MACHINE!!!
FIGHT AGAINST IMPERIALIST WAR WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL CLASS
WAR!!!
Today, we - the Gudrun Ensslin[1]
Unit - attacked the Commanding General of the US Army and of the NATO
Middle Europe Section, General Kroesen.
He is one of the Generals who directly hold the reins of the politics
of imperialism in West Europe, up to the Gulf Region, as he is the one
who decides which weapons to use in times of confrontation! He
determines conventional destruction and he decides when and where
neutron bombs are going to be deployed. He commands the US intervention
troops that are stationed here for use in the Middle East. He and
Rogers are the strategists who are called away to the Pentagon from the
European front line, as happened when a decision was taken to intervene
in Iran.
He will be one of the American military men who will openly control the
FRG instead of Schmidt, Genscher, Kohl, Strauss, or whoever it might be
at
the point when the resistance shatters the colonial status of this
country.
For that eventuality, the computers at the US Headquarters in
Heidelberg
have stored data on the West German Left for years now.
He regularly meets with the Federal Prosecutor to coordinate what steps
to take and to stay personally on top of the situation. These meetings,
together with the reports from the European Secret Services
concentrated under NATO, determine US anti-guerilla warfare in West
Europe.
Kroesen is a front line General.
West Europe is no longer the hinterland from which imperialism is
waging war - now, with the victorious wars of liberation in the Third
World, with the development of the guerilla in West Europe, now that
the whole of imperialism is in crisis, West Europe has become part of
the worldwide front line. It is the part where they possess everything.
But it is also the part that has become vital for the process of
liberation on the whole, worldwide line.
THE FIGHTING IN THE METROPOLE CAN KEEP GLOBAL IMPERIALISM IN CHECK
INSOFAR AS, TOGETHER WITH REVOLUTIONARIES IN THE THIRD WORLD, A NEW
BREAKTHROUGH CAN
BE ACCOMPLISHED. THE STRUGGLES IN THE METROPOLE NOW ARE REAL STEPS FOR
REVOLUTION
IN THE CENTERS THEMSELVES. A REVOLUTION HERE WOULD SIGNIFY A PERMANENT
CHANGE
IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING REVOLUTIONARY RESISTANCE.
Resistance means attacking the counter-revolutionary attack.
Resistance means putting one's practice in the context of the guerilla.
The guerilla, the struggle of the prisoners from the guerilla, the
struggle of the anti-imperialist militants… these are the lines that,
as a unitary whole, form the revolutionary front line in West Europe -
or are going to form it.
SUPPORT THE PRISONERS’ STRUGGLE AS ONE CENTRAL POINT OF THE
REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE!!!
SUPPORT THE PRISONERS HERE, IN IRELAND, TURKEY, ITALY, AND SPAIN!!!
THE WEST EUROPEAN GUERILLA IS SHAKING THE CENTER!!!
FIGHT WITH US
