A meditation on the release this month of a member of the Red Army Fraction in Germany. She is only one of four people left in German
prisons for actions taken during the ‘années de plomb’ – the years of
lead.
What our own slothrop fails to see – is how deeply implicated the U.S. intelligence & military intelligence services were in the strategies of tension – that allowed the putschists
to arrive in power in Greece, for Andreotti – prince Bhorghesi, the
fascists in Portugal & in Spain – in fact the whole anti democratic
movement in Europe was completely organised through the United States –
whether it was operation ‘gladio’, the strategy of tension – or the
compromising of almost a generation of European parliamentarians of
their respective countries, created in the 50’s by James Jesus Angleton, bore its fascist fruits in the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s.
The U.S. made of European politics a rubbish bin of their own sordid habitude.
The left was doomed to its own destruction at just the point where
it was most integrated with the masses – this was especially true in
Italy & France. & an organised left was something Germany had
through its shame created. In France – it is impossible to look at the
so called leadership struggles in the parti communiste français without
seeing the hands of the CIA – a political left could not have been led
by a more compromised leadership, in Italy the left was destroyed by
the infiltration of fascist agents within their organisation. In
Germany what gave birth to an armed opposition (the propaganda of
facts) was immediately compromised with connections to the Turkish grey
wolves, the Italian new order – all under the instructions of the CIA –
all comprimised & corrupted by American agencies.
In 2007, it is horrifying to look at the damage done to the left –
by their enemy & finally by themselves & all the major players
of this U.S. led fascism like Andreotti – alive & well.
I remember this moment very clearly, very precisely & I remember it
in more detail today than perhaps then. I rememember & remember
categorically that even the armed opposition to U.S. politics was borne
in the horror to what was being done in Vietnam – that time’s illegal
& immoral war. Good people, a generation of the best were swallowed
up in politics that were conceived somewhere at Langley & the
bureaus of ‘intelligence’ services in every country you can name.
It was in that moment of history that I understood deeply the
profound immorality of the politics that dominates those United States,
it was in that particular history that I would witness exactly how far
those pathological policies would go.
Only someone who is completely blind to what has happened in the
history of the last fifty years of the 20th century would be capable of
defending that national entity, those United States.
In those days the fascist were glad to call themselves exactly that
– they were proud of their heritage – the elites were lost in their own
venality (as they caricaturally are in Latin America or Asia for
example) that they could not see they had already won their battle when
the bitch Thatcher – who was a symbiosis of the stupidity &
criminality of both Andreotti & Reagan – herded her people behind
the barriers of fear from where they can view the world that passes
them by – it is no wonder they neeed that antiquated service – the BBC
to tell them of their own heroism, their own humour & their own
intelligence because – we the world have forgotten them. We forgot them
when they sacrificed their miners, when they sacrificed their rail
& ship workers, when they destroyed the printers & any movement
of workers that could produce a menace to their power.
& we were not so stupid to not see their criminalisation of
politics in Ireland & within their own borders as a testimony of
their failure to conduct real politics. They, with criminal disposition
– destroyed the social fabric of that nation – they lied about their
underclass, their homeless, their drug & drug addled public who are
wound around the fingers of state through the subvention of needs.
They might have won & yes Sarkozy might win here – what was
collaboration then – is called atlantism today – the collaboration of
an elite against the interests of their people manipulating the fear of
those people – which was in the last analysis the reason for the
‘strategy of tension’ – to create the conditions where the elites could
rule without fear of a real opposition.
It is Bush & the U.S. elites deepest desire that we return to
that moment – to the moment where Europe follows fearfully in the
U.S./Israel worldview & not seeing the natural & organic relation
that the European people have with the people of the Middle East.
So in the month when they will release a member of the Red Army Fraction – I do not salute her but I do salute the movement that gave
birth to her & I taken notice that the enemy then is the same enemy
today.
Sorry for being so brutal but that is exactly how I feel.
