ISRAEL HAS NUCLEAR CAPABILITY AGAINST SOVIET UNION

llEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 3 (IPS)--Israeli nuclear capa.bility, first ex­posed in New Solidarity and IPS, can be used directly against the Soviet Un ion and Eastern' Europe, according to an evaluation of tech­nicat· material carried out by the Labor Committee Intelligence stai this week.

.

A strategist from American Enterprises Institute, a Washington, D.C. thinktank, told � Solidarity recently that the Israelis pos­sessed as many as a dozen nuclear bombs in the 20 kiloton range. This is confirmed by the American magazine Science, which has pub­lished articles stating that since 1972 Israel has been using the . laser separation method to enrich nuclear material, a process which can be used to produce the concentration of fissionable material ne' essary for manufacturing nuclear weapons.

''::''he la!�er method is a relatively recent, 10l'1-cost way of sepa­rati!"!IT out U-235, the radioactive isotope of ura!1ium which is used as £ ... ··1 in nu::laal� reactor�. While it is now not known how many Su( la!:e:L' beparation units Israel has, several dozen units cQuld be set up at small expense. A single laser unit, which is small anddiffi-. cult to detect, could produce enough nuclear material for one A-bom} in the 20 kiloton range every month.

Israel also has the effective means to transport such weapons to targets both inside and cutside the potential Mideast war zone. In a professional strategic study, "The Arab-Israeli f.iilitary Balan( Sinca Octob"l:c" 1973," author Dale R. Tahtinen re�orts that Israel pc;ssesaes n:)w 'at least 127 F":4 fighter-bomber aircraft. The U .S.­built F-4 , which can be equipped to carry small weapons, has a com­bat radius of 1000 miles. That capability puts the entire Mideast within range of ,Israel,i ,nuclear attack.

Moreover, if it is decided to expend machines and pilots in suici?e ,missions, the effective range of ,Israeli ·nuclear attacks could be nearly doubled. Flying until its fuel was completely con­sumed, an F-4 could reach targets in both Western and Eastern Europ' including 'the industrial heartland of the Soviet Union as far north as Leningrad.

C. L. Sulzberger, u.S. CIA press spokesman, has suggested that if cornered in a new war, the Israelis would act like their first century B.C. forebears in.the desert fortress Masada. Rather than surrender to their enemi:es after a bitter siege lasting for years, the Masada warriors co��tted suicide en masse.

DUTCH SPECIAL FORCES USE ADVANCED NATO TECHNOLOGY

ROTTERDAM, Nov. 3 (IPS)--According to reports in the popular Dutch daily � Telegraaf, special forces of the Dutch marines used deadly laser weapons for the "first time 1"n the history of the Dutch milital to free hostages being held in the maximum security prison at S·c.he­veninger, Netherlands�· These special marine units, equipped with ti, most advanced technological weapons, are the product of the radical reorganization of the Dutch military which took place six months age as part of the general upgrading of both NATO and European armed forces.··

This reorganization is being pushed through under CIA-NATO agents such ;.os :C�:;;·l.ia::1 Defense Minister Andreotti, west German De-. fense 1:-:i nifi�;f:'r L;.�bf..·r, i":;,J::.d, at the top, Gene:L"F:.I Alexander Haig, the R(i('ke:::\�J.le,� fron� ICi.an \vho took command of all U.

The man personally res?onsible for this reorganization in the Ncthe=.::'�mds is Henk Vredeli1.lg. In addition to the recent deployrnent of his. �pecj.i!l fOl:ces,' Vred�ling two days ago called for the mobili­z"::t.ion of G! 000 regular Dutc�l army t:t" JOpS to assist the crop harves' in the prov::'r:ces of Zea,land" North Br ::tb:.int, and South Holland. Thi� kind of "civil act�ionil is a dress rehearsal for i;he military takeov( of production in the very nearfuture--pre-planned by NATO opera­t�.cns. Hundr.eds of similar preparato!:y maneuvers are expected thtoughout E�rope, the U.S., and Canada during the,next few months.

PCI'S COSSUTTA PUSHES BELLAGIO !-1ILITARY. LINE

Nov. 3 (IPS)--Two days ago; the Italian Communist Party's (PCI)' in­famous rightwing hatcbet man Armando Cossutta, head of the PCl grow in .the.Sena�e, . gave a further thrust to the suicidal Rockefeller Ii. of a "European Independent Third

' Force" laid out at the Bellagio

meetinq of 'the fascist Trilateral Commission in October.. In announ' ing phony an-::'i-I-':issinger demonstrations in five major Italian citie' Nov. 5, Cossutta stressed:

:"We:' don ··t ask tha.t Italy should have a foreign pol­icy hos�ile·to the U.S.A.· nor that it become .an enemy [of the U.S.}·. The . Communists' want a: foreign policy. which is neither anti-Sovi�t nor a nti-American, even within our . present loc'3'C.ion withi.n NATO to which the Communists have been, and c.O:ltim.le to he, opposed. Our cOufrtry In'.lst carry ou'::' an autonomous and indep:mdent role, an active policy of detente, above all in r�gard to Europe, the Mediterra­nean area, and the l'Uddle East."

Cossutta further, ,�phas.izeq '�at the " anti"Yankee" 'demonstra­tions of the PCI have nothing in common with actions by the .. extremE left" qroups , whan he labeled "CIA provocateurs." In view of ten montbs of virtual silence toward the eXtraparli_ntaryleft, while the PCI, has insisted th4;t-all terroris.t violence' is" fran the right!! and while the Italian left group lets drewcloser:tothe CommUnist Party, C�ssutta 's .call fo� ,police action ,aqainst""tbe left can be,' aimed only at one group.

PCI PARTY RANKS PREPARED" FOR "PROGRESSIVE coup"

Nov. 3 (IPS)--Desperate to maintain some left credibility while exe­cuting a far-right turn, the national Italian Communist Party (PCr) leadership this week walked into a trap set by the newly "progres­sive" Defense Mini ster of Italy Giulio Andreotti. Andreotti, a NATC puppet , has been orches1:rating ," revelations" o f rightwing coup plotE' among highly placed military figures over the past severa l months. As an outcome of ,these exposures, Genera l Miceli , ex-head of Italy'e Defense lnfc�ation Service, was arrested NoV. 1 for politica l con� E!piracy, while rumors that there would be a military coup Saturday Nov. 2 flew through Italy and especially through the trade union ranks.

.

Predictably, the PCI �hibited exactly the kind of apolitical bravado,which would'ensure the round-up and mas sacre of their cadref were such a coup to actua l ly take place. The word went out from na­tional party headquarters that party mi litants should not s leep at home in their own beds that night. Meanwhile , in cities such as Turin , trade unieon rqeetings were called 'of 'f · for the week on' the pre­text, o,f the fear Of a, coup. ,In Bologna, 'PCIleaders 'bragged that' il th� eV,ent of " a rightwing attempt, they had' aC,oE;!ss ·to arms--not the rusty ri�les of··the Wor:ld War II Re.istance,day's'�" :but the "arms of the sta�e::" . ,',' ;: ,f'" '. :;., ': ' '.

ROCKEFELLER BANKS PLAN TO DETONAT� EUROPEAN ECONOMIES

WASHINGTON', D.C., Nov. 3 (IPS)--New York ' s. banking fraternity" the core of David Rockefeller 's international financier faction , has thrown'their $200 billion weight toward tl:le detonation of the

' Euro­

pean and Japanese economies , an authoritative' Treasury Department source sa id today.

. . ' .

" .

Throughout their international banking networks�' .tpe sour.ce said, the Rockefeller-controlled institutions are taking unprecedent, ed " short" positions in all European currencies except the Briti!:'lh pound. Since the beg inning of September, they have lent out u.s. dollars and borrowed European currencies , in the expectation that thi value of these currencies wi ll co,llapse agains.t the dollar on the foreign exchange markets witllin weeks , the source said.

A " short position" i s a bank sale of currency to be delivered,. a+ a future date--bywhich time, . the bank bets , the currericy it owes wi ll, have dropped in value • . Then" the bank can meet its delivery, date by purchasing the cUrrency in the market at the lower value •

. Behind this massive "short sale'l of Europe and Japan--which al­ready has reached "the order of magnitude'" of $5 billion--is the Rockefel ler banks' expectation that a new Mideast war and Arab oil embargo wi�l dynamite what remains

' of the battered European 'economy.

At 'a c losed seminar,'sponsored by 'the Rockefeller-controlled, Wor ld Trade Institute late i n October , oil-country mouthpieces stater bluntly that the erasure of Wes tern Europe was a s tanding element of policy--confirming the 'IPS warning that the Mideast hoax is rigged t( return Wes tern Europe to its s tatus during the 1946 occupation.

Saudi Arabia: Slave Labor

Saudi Arabia's delegate to the seminar derided western European attempts to borrow part of the Arabs' $100 billion a year o i l loot i1 order to pay its $44 billion a year oil bill, saying , "I am complete­ly unable to understand howthe 'industrial countries try to achieve international equilibrium [i . e. , avo id a world depression--Ed.] through racing among themse lves to offer .. the [oi l-producing] coun-' tries wide opportunitie s for keeping their wealth ip the industrial­ized,countries. ,They have coined the scientific word for [borrowing back' petrodollar s] , namely , ' ''recycle , ' which to me in the everyday Engl ish usage wou ld only mean to stop or hinder the normal flow of the wealth back to the undeveloped economies."

�'les tern Europe and Japan , King Faisal ' s flunky added , " should not look around for clear-cut projects or investment opportunities, but rather involve themselves with the government [slave labor] projects."

IPS A4 11/3/74

On the account of Br it�in, "J;taly, Denmark , and France alone, Europe is running a curr,ent' accPQ.ht balance of payments deficit of $20 bi l lion . European nations 'are "paying" for the quadrupled oi l prices--equivalent to one-'fifth of Europe's share in world trade-­through the destruction of Working class living s'tandards and the bankruptcy of vas t secticms oithe European financial 'structure. • . '"' . l ' . '

Britain Ba�krupt

A new oil embargo immediately would reduce the European conti­nent to the status of Britain , whose entire corporate sector is tech­nically'bankrupt. The additi'onal c laims upon Europe's output imposeo by another round of Rockefeller ' s prot'ection racket would des troy the value of European currencies . As claims upon 'the output of European indus try and agriculture increase, European currencies would be "de­valued" by a hike in Arab oil demand$-":,,as they have been devalued since the October 1 973 o i l hoax . '

, .. ' "

European currencies have fal len substantial ly against the.dollar during the past month �s a result of massive dumping of these curren· cies by Rockefeller banks. The Labor Committee Intelligence Staff'

.

esttmates that European banks are being swindled in the process--re­peating Rockefeller's wipe-.up on the foreign exchange markets' during the past s ix months . Franklin National Bank, Wes t Germany's Herstati Bank, and scores of other banks outside of the Rockefel ler machine went under or took l[Iubstantial los ses as a resul.t of' ,monkey-business on the foreign exchange ' markets.

According to the Treasury source, the Rockefeller banks now ar e making several billions of'dollars in commitments' to sell, European currencies in exchange for dol lars to Europ�aribanks at some, 'time in the: future. But, failing to take :the Mideast timebomb into' their ac­counting, the European banks at the<other end of these deals are still placing a high' value on Eu rope�n currencies on the,' ,currencies futures market. 'Although 'the cash-Q.n"""the-barrelhead rate for Euro­pean currencies has fal len sharply with respect'to'the dollar, the "futures" rate remains high.. When the value of European currencies collapsesj 'European ban�s ta�ing their own qurrencyin payment wi l l have problems that will ,make their present c;i sis look l ike a mild off-day.

TRIST IN TROUBLE

Nov. 3 (IPS)--A week ago, IPS exposed the work of leading Tavistock brainwasher Dr. Eric Trist in establishing self-policing work gangs as part of an experimental productivity study at the Rushton Mine in Rushton, Pennsylvania.

Trist had also been working on a project at a larger mine, the Federal No. 2 of the Eastern Coal and Gas Company in Morgantown, Pennsylvania. Though the project had the full support of United l1ineworkers (Ur.1W) president Arnold Miller, Trist evidently ran into some unforeseen complications. According to a report from Trist's nominal employers, the National Quality of Work Center, "because of conditions beyond the control of the project team, the local [em­phasis theirs] union at Eastern, through a series of misconceptions, voted not to continue with the project."

And though Miller and the UMl� national leadership stand commit­ted to " reinvigorate" the project, Trist's " friends" are running inte some difficulty. According to the report, "various diffi culties com­plicate the union's current commitment to recammencement of the project • • • • "

Last week, Eric Trist' s l4-ye ar-old daughter shed some light on what might be causing the bottleneck . In a phone conversation with IPS, the young Trist said that her daddy's work in the mines was "go­ing fine." . However, "if another miner is killed by the project, the� may w ind up suspending the whole thing, " she said sadly.

AGENTS PROMOTE " NEW WORLD ORDERi' FOR ROCKEFELLER

Nov. 3, ( IPS } --Spurred on by the temporary demoralization of the leaderless, European working class, an assortment of international operatives for the Rockefeller family have publicly called for a "nel world order" this past week. The pattern includes editorial state­ments and interviews by Zbigniew Brzezinski and Claude Boissonnat of of the Trilateral Commission; Jean De.nizet, a writer for Boissonnat' � L'Expansion; Claude Gruson, advisor to tbe "Planning Council" of the French government; and finally, Giorgio Amendola , notorious CIA­infiltrator in the leadership of the I talian Communist Party.

Ironically, a secret Brzezinski-led co nfer ence of Rockefeller agents in Bellagio, Italy, only two weeks ago issued directives for European heads of state to dupe the So viets, through anti-U.S. speeci into believing that they represent a Eur ope "independent" of Rockefe: policy. Exposing their Bellagio line simply as psycholog ical war far e agains t the USSR, this spate of "ne\'l world order" proposals all con­verge on the global fascism being zealously pursued by the Ro ckefell . brothers.

Having emphasized . the' deadly fo%'lP into which David Rockefeller':· sudden and calculated credit restrictions have molded the crisis, Denizet delivers the punchline: "Now, the ttme for independent national moves is over. Everything wOuld be destroyed. The only solu' tion is to promote a new Bretton-ttoods in�ernational order.

NAZ I MEDICINE

In the same connection, editor Boissonnat editorializes on the relevance of Hitler and Mussolini's corporativist methods, praising lithe addition of socialist mechanisms to capitalism" -- "national socialism" on an international scale. "In case the right fails," wri Boissonnat, "capitalism should entrust its adversaries with politica power in order.to make them give the medicine which will save it."

Boissonnat is referring to the "historical compromise" policy -- of parliamentary suicide the Chilean Way -- being peddled in the internationai Communist movement by CIA 'agent Giorgio Amendola.

Not accidentally, Amendola, an operative in the politburo of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) chose this same week to launch a c::unpaign with the.objective of 'liquidating the European Communist ;,;-,vement in favor of Rockefeller's "new ltlOrld order. ft. Both Amendola' '>..id his close conspirator in the PCI Gian Carlo Pajetta have worked o�er the past few months to forge an international anti-Kremlin fdction to annul the left turn launched in July/August by the Suslov, :?onomarev leadership of the USSR. Amendola's faction als':) has been trying to eradicate the programmatic decision fer internationally . coordinated class confrontations taken at last January's Brussels· -Conference of European Communist Parties. The Brussels line, now almost a year old, has not been implemented as a direct result of sabotage by the CIA-controlled faction under Amendola's leadership.

Amendola echoed Zbigniew Brzezinski in a public speech in Milan Cctober 26, going so far as to declare that, in effect, the Brussels program does not exist, the Communist Parties are without program fo the present crisis, and that the only program worth following is th a of Altiero Spinelli!

Spinelli is a Rockefeller lap dog on the multinationals-control Common Market Commission.

d�ngerously low, in fact, "at knife's edge." However, the press has g1ven no factual evidence to show that this is the case.

Repeating the role he played last year, miners union president Joe Gormley has been outspoken in the red smear campaign. Gormley's �ccusation that Communist Part.y organizer Bert Ramelson was to blame [·; .. T the key switch of executive votes, thus engineering the rejectioIJ c:.�; t.:le Coal Board's offer, immediately was seized. on by the press �::::'�: �eadlined on the front pages of the Exvress and the Tel-egraph, L·.�} .£QUEe organs of the CIA. In an "exCluS1VO" interview W1th the L:.:.l.J.y Telegraph, Gormley whines: "What in hell gives a person who'S .. n�t even a union member the right to interfere in our negotiations?

The noted scandal sheets of the Beaverbrook press empire have �-! lso corl.veniently fueled the red scare by printing the names and a ,·:Lcrt description on each of the men who voted "No," many of whom i?'.l� Communists in key union posts.

The fri ght :l.r.g thing, notes th.e Telegraph, is that Ramelson is "not doing J\e.d.ly in achieving his objectives. II

Two more sections of the union in Wales and Scotland, both C����nist-dominated, then made public thei r rejection of the incentiv r.:�;h�;ne, as if to bear out the Telegraph' s fright. Further! Arthur f;.c:a:.:gill, the co-called Marxist leader of the Yorkshire m1ners, ".r_;:,�unced provocatively: that if the Coal Board turned down the a,J.i.:.dl.·nate nati onal productivity scheme offered by the miners themselv the union might be forced to demand a sizeable wage increase. "This is going to be the price of peace," he said.

If it provokes another strike, the red scare will only serve t:::' lay the blame for Rockefeller' s Second Energy Hoax squarely at tt,a feet of the rebellious miners and to i mprove the Trilateral Colnmission's European options.

If1F CONFERENCE ADL1ITS COmlUNIST-AFFILIATED UNIONS, PLANS FOR CO-PARTICIPATION

FRANKFURT, BRD, Nov. 2 (IPS)--The International I>1etalworkers Federa­tion (U1F) banned a member of the European Labor Cominittees (ELC) from attending its conference here this week after that member de­manded that Eugen Loderer, IMF president and head of the German met­ahITorkers union IG Hetall , explain his membership on the Rockefeller CIA-controlled Trilateral Commission.

Loderer replied that such questions "Tere not asked at �Jest Ger­man press conferences.

Loderer and I�1F Gene ral Secretary Herman Rebhan, an agent of United Autoworkers pr esident and Tri late ral Commission member Leonar Woodcock, ''lere both still nervous about the pO'I.ller the ELC had shotlln during last r1ay' s IHF conference in S tockho lm . At that conference the ELC was able to organi ze leaders of the leftwing Sociali8t- infl� enced Ita lian Hetalworkers Federation to attack Hoodcock and his Trj late ral-aut r..ored proposals to limit East-v'Jest trade.

The major topic at this week's conference was the admission of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) aff i liated Italian Metalworkers faction along with the newly reconstituted Portuguese and Greek unions. Until now the IMF has not admitted Communist Party dominatE unions.

I,;:1:c;.t sUr:-.mer, the European Trade Union Confederation, which, liJr t:!.�.,: Uii', D5,C. steadf astly refused. to include Communist-affiliated u.l'l. );'i,:.,. a:lu::.t.ted the PCI-dominated trade union confederation, the l:GIL Th9 president of the. ETUC is Heinz Oskar Vetter, another Tri­lateral Commission member and the he ad of the German Trade Union Confederation. Becau.se the ELC has challenged head-on the persist­

ing influence of a CIA faction .in the leadership of the Italian Com­munist. Party, the Italian delegation felt totally embarassed when confronted by· ELC organizers • . At this week's F rankfurt meeting, trE mendous pressure was put on the Italian delegation to keep itself isolated from the ELC. Unlike during the May conference, when a drc matic denunciation of agent Woodcock could still pass for leftist bravado, a serious denunciation of Rebhan and Loderer "lould have beE a direct attack· on the CIA faction in the PCI and their policy of 01 ganizing for Rockefeller .

When ELC organizers ran into the Italian delegation dining at c restaurant , the mere sight of t he ELC reduced them to a choir of chirping schoolboys. Despi te this transformation, .. the same indi vid­uals were seen around the conference with copies of the Italian lan­guage edition of New Solidarity. The day after the restaurant inci­dent, one Italian worker ventured to have a serious discussion with the ELC about the possibilities of initiating a debt moratorium in Italy and the dangers of a NATO military intervention.

POLAND CITES KItUPP CHAIRMAN BEITZ FOR "HUl·1ANISTIC" ATTITUDES

t'lIESBADEN, BRD, Nov . 2 ( IPS ) --The People' s Republic of Poland threw a\Olay its mor ality yes terday and awarded Rockefeller a gent Berthold Beitz, chairman of Krupp Steel, the Order of the Commandant wi th Stars. In a ceremony that by the Nuremburg s ta tutes for crimes against humanity should never have taken place, Beitz r eceived the following citation: " Pol and values the humanistic and positive at­titudes of Beitz to the Polish people during the war. "

As a " lib eral" Nazi during Wor ld l"1ar, I I, B ei tz exploi ted Polis!'" reso urces to the fullest for the Rockef eller- domi nated S hell Oil Con pany branch in Naz i - oc cupie d Pola nd. ' He ar ranged f or the shelter a r protec tion o f s elected Poles, who later b ecame influential in the econo mics section of the Polish Communist Party . It is suspected that Beitz , through his ties to Shell and pr ocuring of forged id en­tity papers which he furni s he d to influential 'Poles, was a British inte l l igenc e agent who est�b lished a CI A-nr.itish Intelligence agent netwo=k throughout the Pol ish ' Communist Party .

Most likely a s a rewa�d for such good work in Poland , Beitz wae made a Krupp official by tha well -known Rockefeller confederate Johr ncCloy, then U. S. High Commissioner for Germany . �tcCloy ' s right-hal man Stuart Stone, along wi�h McC loy, installe d Beitz as chairman o f Krupp in 1 9 5 3 . Stone' s recant return' to open up a branch of the CIA ' s Aspen I nstitute in We3 t Berlin exemplifies the arrival of the Second U· � S. Occupation of Europe.

Since 1 9 5 3 , Beitz has traveled regula rly to McCloy's office at Chase Manhattan Bank and to Stone' s old office in the Ford Foundatir for directions. Beitz has set up, �ong other deals, a Krupp slave labor proj ect with the Sha h in Iran and he has directed the j ob de­struction presently rampant in Eur opean indus try.

NORTH AMERICAN PRESS PSYWAR SCAPEGOATS FARMERS' '

Oct . 3 1 ( IPS ) --Gor e- f i l led , sensationa l pres s accounts of farmers ' s laughter protests have been used to maximum psychologica l advantage by the capi tal i s t pre s s throughout North America . Although mos t farmer s have abs ta ined' i n horror from the food de s truct ion , the pre s � has effectively used the s lau<ilf1�ering s t o spread the f ear of food shortages acros s the conti nent . " Such pre s s exaggerations convince workers to tighten their be l'ts in anticipation of � inevi table" food scarcity , while farmers ' are of fered up a s the convenient scapegoat for Rockef e l ler ' s planned' s tarvat ion .

The pre s s blitz i s further intended to encourage even more farm er "militant " insanity . Like the s e lf-defeating Uni ted Auto Worker s Apache s tr ikes led by Tri lateral Commi s sion agent Leonard Woodcock and like the coal miner s ' scheduled Nov . 12 s trike directed by C IA " psychiatr i s t " Eric Tr i s t , the farmers ' destruction of food is an integra l part of the 'Rbckef e l l�r gameplan .

t'lEST GERMAN GENERALS MEET TO PROTECT NATO FLANKS FRaU WORKING CLASS

NEO-FASCIST STRAUSS INVITES SPD , TO JOiN ' BIM �N' , COALITI9N :

Nov . 1 ( IPS ) -- I n the aftermath of a resounding'

e lectoral victory of 6 3 per cent in the West German staite of Bavaria , the neo-fascist leader of West Germany ' s Christian Social tJnion (eSU ) Franz Josef Straus s has announced a major political offensive . . Gloating over tl Chr�s,tian parties ' , coup in seizing Soc1,a1 Democratic Party (SPD ) ur­ban s trongholds such as I-lunich , Frankfurt , Darmstadt , and others , col �aborators of Stra�ss in the SPl) oity ,of Berlin have promised to raid the ' working c lass dis tricts in that city in 1 9 7 5 .

The high po int of Strauss ' peacock- s trutting act before the press i s an Oct. 29 interview in the Italian daily I I Giornale in which he invites the rightwing Social Democratic Chancellor ot west Germany Helmut Schmidt to j oin him in a national goverrunent coa li tim Strauss told II Giornale openly that if former Chancel lor tU lly Branc, were still in-office , he never would have made the offer . A Wi th Schmidt , though , I prefer to wait . It would b e unreasonable to say no . II

Dur ing his trip to Moscow to visit Soviet General Secretary Leo­nid Brezhnev , Schmidt confirmed for the German working class that Straus s should indeed wait for a poss ible invitation into the govern­ment . In an unusual ly personal attack , Brezhnev referred to Straus s a s a " revanchis t , " one who would like to turn the c lock back to the time of the huge German empires . Schmidt ' s response wa s an unprece­dented defense of Strauss ' right to attack the existence o.f the So­viet Union .

F l ies in the Ointment

The fly in the oin��ent is the white Neanderthal regime in Rho­desia , which i s situated between South Africa and Zambia . Rhodes ia i s headed by diehard racist Ian Smith . Throughout the summer , South Africa has made it increasingly clear to . Smith ' s government that the could expect no last-ditch intervention to save them from the n black hordes " threatening from a lmost every s ide . Kaunda ' s only quali fica tion in his greetings to Vorster i s that South African military aid to Rhodes ia must oease . This became imminent when Vors ter replied that he wi ll pul l South African troops provided that Kaunda agrees t( " freeze" guerri l la activities based in Z ambia . As the London Times put it : " Rhode s ia i s to be sacri ficed on the altar o f black-white detente . II

Another obstacle , recently overcome , was the existence of a so­c ialist movement in mineral-rich Angola ; the Popular Movement for th( Liberation of Ango la (MPLA ) . Through an intensive campaign of coun­terinsurgency- from-within this summer--headed by Zaire ' s Pre sident Mobutu and aided by Kaunda and Tanzania ' s Jul ius Nyerere-- the MPLA was effectively emasculated and replaced . The new " representative of the Angolan people " i s the CIA-run Front for the National Libera­tion of Ango la , which operates out of Zaire . The Oct . 2 0 London Times solemni zed the occa s ion with an artic le pra i s ing Mobutu for having made Angola II safe for capital ism . 1I Rumors have abounded that r-1obutu is prepared · to a ssure Ango la ' s safety by annexing it--rumors made stronger by Mobutu ' s repeated denials .

ROCkefeller ' s P lan

The overal l plan for a fasc i st economy in the area includes mas� s ive " development" in mineral-rich Angola , Z aire , and Zambia , us ing imported unemployed from Europe as ski lled laborers and Qr inging in unski lled labor from among the s tarving peasants and urban unemployec of the region . The nexus of the region is i ndustrial South Africa . The eastern region- -Kenya , Tanzania , the agricultural par t . of Z ambia , and northern Mo zambique-- i s slated for the exact opposite : starvatio::. as food exporters to the s lave laborers in the " deve lopment areas . " ,

This separation between the two areas i s made under the cover of " those countr ies lucky enough to have sources of foreign exchange; versus " those who are unfor tunately bankrupt . 1I Thi s concept was con veniently mapped out by the Oct . 2 0 � � T ime s .

The offensive against backward capital i s ts and agains t the work­ing c las s in the Republic of South Africa takes the form of an " at­tack on apartheid , " a maneuver designed to bus t the white trade unions and , put together' an " integrated " skilled and semi-skilled wor force , at the same t ime dr iving wage levels down to the leve l of a fasc ist economy .

IS FRANCE BECOMI� : ALGERIA ' S FIRST COLOm:?

, Oct . 3 1 ( IPS ) --Last week A1ger�an Minister of I:ndustry and Energy Abdel Abdessalam invi ted tIa aaiD I'J:ench capitali s ts as sociation , the CNPF , to Algeria to launch programs for n industrial complemen­tarity " between the two countries . At the same time that these French representatives of the Tri lateral Commis s ion c l ique were dis­cuss ing how to implement Rockefeller ' s Third Wor ld looting s trategy , Algerian President Houari Boumedienne was announcing a " socialist revolution" for Algeria in 1 9 7 5 .

The trade discus sions between the CNPF and Algeria fo llow the lines laid out by the fasci st Trilateral Commission in their secret meeting in Bellagio , ' Italy two weeks ago : Creating the myth of " Euro-Arab" independence to wield as a psychological weapon agains t the Soviet Union .

The Alqerian government offered the French capitalists 10 bi l­l ion dinars worth · of orders for " French technology" and ready-made plants . This fully complements the " restructuring" ·of the French economy now underway--gearing toward the production of equipment and goods specifica l ly for labor-intens ive development proj ects and the dismantling and relocation of the res t of French indus try to the Third World . Thus , Algeria i s shaping up as a major s lave labor pocket in the western part of the Mediterranean , directly f acing the large southern European development proj ect of Fos- sur-Mer located on the French Mediterranean coast .

To answer CNPF president Francois Ceyrac ' s cal l for the neces­sity to " def.ine ·a new indus trial. policy which "lould be complemented by a rational ·immigration pol.icy , " the· Algerian government demanded that France take efforts to n trainn her Algerian manpower since these workers " are to return to A.�geria one day . " Thus " socialist" Algerie is pushing . the very Rockefel:1er relocation s lave labor schemes de­signed to bleed Algeria dry .

At the end of the visi.t , Ceyra� : .held · up as an example for the

future the French Sonacome "Berliet truck plant under cons truction near Algiers as an " interesting and sucpes s ful experience between a private firm and a SociCJlltst country . " In full agreement with Cey­rac ' s example , Algeria prepared to s end to France next month 8 0 to 1 0 0 Algerian officials from different economic and indus trial sector . to study " new pos s ibilities of cooperation.

The f irst s tep in this process i s to collapse local po lice oper­ations into regional " contro l " uni ts . To do this , however , the fed­era l government needs public support . The Marin Commi s sion wa s con­stituted to ver i fy that such support exi sts . The suppor t itself i s being generated through a series of psycholog ical warfare articles i the press focusing on cases of police brutality and ca l ling for in­vestigation into the way local pol ice are hired and trained .

The Commi ssion current ly i s sending re search teams throughout Canada and to the U . S . cities of Los Angeles , Chicago , and New York to assess their C ivil ian Revia1 Boards . These citie s , which a ll hav been " reorgani z ed " by the LEAA , are to provide Ottawa with the proto type for canad ian reorgani zation .
