*WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT ESCALATING ATTACKS ON ORGANIZERS WHO ARE
RESISTING ITS CRIMES?
* The U.S. is escalating its war drive. Not only is it continuing its
brutal occupations and wars against Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and
its billions of dollars in support of the ruthless Israeli occupation of
Palestine. It is also escalating its threats against Iran and North
Korea and China.. It is increasing its efforts to stop the struggles for
self-determination and social justice in Latin America.
So the government needs a quiet home front to continue its
terrorism and mass destruction abroad. It cannot tolerate those who are
organizing inside the U.S. for the independence of Puerto Rico, for the
rights of immigrants and against mass raids and deportations, for an end
to the profiling and detentions of Muslims, Palestinians and other
Middle Easterners, for the equal rights of African-Americans and against
the repression and criminalization of youth, and for resistance fighters
around the world.
To maintain and extend its empire for the benefit of U.S.
monopolies, the government wants to silence and paralyze all the
movements against its injustice, and create scapegoats to divert
attention away from the deaths and destruction it is responsible
for. It needs to disrupt and destroy organizations and their work for
rights.
To suppress those who refuse to be silent, who refuse to stop
mobilizing people for resistance, the government has enacted more and
more repressive laws which show that it does not recognize the rule of
law and shreds the Bill of Rights. The 1996 Anti-terrorism
and Effective Death Penalty Act and the 2001 Patriot Act greatly
broadened the definition of terrorism and of "material support for
terrorism." Government actions have repeatedly shown that this support
can be legal activity, like advocacy for refugees, or providing
humanitarian aid, or printing interviews. By "terrorists," the
government means resistance fighters. The government-- itself the
biggest terrorist the world has ever known--is declaring that organizers
against its crimes should be severely punished for speaking or writing
or marching or otherwise supporting resistance at home and abroad.
The 14 anti-war activists who have recently received subpoenas
to appear before a Grand Jury have-- like many others before them--
stood up to say they will not cooperate with the witch hunts of the
government. And five more activists have received subpoenas as of the
second week of December.
To resist the government's assaults on people's rights at home and
abroad, we need to unite people from all the struggles to turn things
around and PUT THE GOVERNMENT ON TRIAL !
Let us together develop further an offensive against the
government. Let's use all our creative energies to develop effective
tactics to fight for the rights of all. Especially, let's together plan
actions to bring out the close connections of all the resistance
struggles at home and abroad, such as on the March anniversary of the
invasion of Iraq and on May Day.
We can win victories by mobilizing masses of people to go on the
offensive against the U.S. government crimes.
Let us reject the world U.S. imperialists have created and their
claim that there's no alternative. Let us work toward a new democracy
of our own making--a society where the rights of all are upheld and the
people are empowered to govern and decide. --by Betty and Neal Resnikoff
