The Situation in Bulgaria As it is known, on September 5, 1944, Soviet Russia declared war on Bul garia without any reason and regardless that up to that day — throughout World War II, Bulgaria had diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia. After declaring war the Soviet Red Army invaded Bulgaria, occupied the country, and on September 9, 1944, a communist government was appointed by Moscow in Sofia, and up to now the communists continue to rule Bulgaria. The communist government in Sofia, as a reward to the Russian “liberators” granted citizenship to 200,000 Russians and gave them the key positions at all levels of the government, including the army. These Russian-Bulgarian citizens are still in Bulgaria as a guarantee that the Bulgarian communist govern ment will obey all the orders from Moscow, as it in fact does. 36 Right after the communists took over power, they imposed a bloody reign of terror in order to liquidate the opposition. No less than 100,000 Bulgarians were murdered and many more were sent to prisons or to concentration camps. I, myself, am one of those prisoners who, for several years, was in the concentra tion camp of Belene, one of the worst in the country. After the communists took over, all human and citizens’ rights of the people were taken away. There is no longer any freedom of the press in Bulgaria; freedom of political convictions or of religious beliefs, and no longer any free elections. All private property was confiscated including the land of the peas ants. The workers now are regarded only as a number in the Government’s industrial machine and the peasants are nothing more than slaves in the kol khozes. Today, Bulgaria is a huge prison in which the whole population is im prisoned. The communist government of Bulgaria, through propaganda in the West, is trying to persuade the governments of the free countries that in Bulgaria the situation has changed and that democracy and human rights of the people have been restored. This is absolutely untrue. Nothing has changed in Bulgaria and nothing will be changed while com munism remains. The Bulgarian people resisted communism right from the first day — Sep tember 9, 1944, and the resistance continues and will continue until liberation. The Bulgarian National Front, Inc. which I have the honor to represent at this AF ABN Congress, is struggling in exile against communism for the free dom of Bulgaria. We believe that the day when the communist empire will be crushed and Bulgaria and all the captive nations will be free once again, is not far away. The Rise and Fall of Communism in China By Victor T. H. TSUAN, Ph.D., Executive Member of the US. Council For World Freedom, Professor of International Studies, Fairleigh Dickinson University China has consistently maintained its civilization for over five thousand years and the fact that it has united almost one quarter of the human race as a single family is not accidental. The cultural heritage of China has given to its people a dynamic force which enables them to absorb what is beneficial to its society and to reject what is detrimental to its survival. Communism belongs to the latter category and is bound to be rejected by the Chinese people. The conquest of mainland China is communism’s greatest victory. Even before the Russian communists had complete control of Russia, they were sending agents to China, such as Adolf A. Joffe and Michael Borodin. In Sep tember 1923, Dr. Sun Yat-sen of the Canton government had sent General Chiang Kai-shek to Moscow to help organize Soviet military assistance against the rival Peking-based government of the warlords. Upon his return Chiang warned Sun that the Soviet Union was intent on taking over China’s revolu tionary movement. He became one of first world leaders in the early 20th century to understand fully the global aims of the Russian communists. He wrote: 37 "From what I have observed, the Russian communist party has absolutely no sincerity. ...the words of the Russians are only 30 percent dependable. Even that is an overstatement.” Unfortunately, World War II world leaders including United States Presi dents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, British Prime Ministers Neville Chamberlain, Winston S. Churchill and Clement R. Attlee, between 1938 and 1949, did not fully understand, nor did they listen to, the late President Chiang Kai-shek. At the end of World War II China had been at war for over eight years. The people were tired and wanted peace, but the communist rebellion headed by Chu Teh and Mao Tse-tung had spread throughout mainland China. They promised the Chinese people a new democracy if they came to power. Many Americans believed this promise of the Chinese communist leaders. The Ameri can government attempted to force Chiang to cooperate with the communists. Miss Patricia Hurley, the daughter of former American ambassador to China, whom I met in San Diego last September, has recently written: “Again the truth is coming out. My father, Patrick J. Hurley, tried for 20 years to tell the story of the sell-out of Nationalist China and Chiang Kai- shek, by her World War II allies, especially the State Department of the United States. He tried to tell the people that their wishes and hopes for a peaceful world were being destroyed and would continue to be destroyed throughout time by those men in Washington and other “free nations” who wanted one world under communism, and who are still trying to make it happen.” It clearly indicates that the governments of the United States and other free nations have been infiltrated by communists. In its campaign to conquer China, the Soviet Union took steps to cover up the direct subordination of the Chinese communists to Moscow. The communists and their fellow travelers no longer referred to the Chinese communists in their propaganda as ordinary communists, but as “agrarian reformers.” This method of delusion was to launch political attacks against the nationalist government and to destroy its effectiveness in the eyes of the world. The Soviet Union secretly offered military and economic aid to the Chinese communists. Eventually they defeated the tired and poorly equipped armies of nationalist China. By October, 1949, all of mainland China was under communist control. The gov ernment of the Republic of China established its capital in Taipei, Taiwan. The history of communism in China is much like that of Russia. Millions of people have been tortured, imprisoned and executed, over 35 years of the communist regime on mainland China has turned out to be a fiasco. Communist China is still a very poor country, average annual income per capital is $450, less than one seventh of that of the Republic of China. The Chinese communist government itself estimates that over 70 percent of the Chinese people are op posed to communism. Only through a large army and secret police force have the communists been able to keep control. But sooner or later catastrophe will strike the Chinese communist regime and it will vanish. In short, communism cannot survive in China because fundamentally it is incompatible with traditional Chinese culture and philosophy. When Free China counter attacks the mainland, it will liberate, not only the enslaved Chinese people, it will inspire others to seek liberty from communist tyranny. 38 Communist China, after being recognized by the United States, has made repeated offers for a peaceful re-unification of China. However, its ultimate goal is of course to communize Free China. But the only real possibility for a peaceful settlement is to let all of the Chinese people have a free choice between the democratic system based upon Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s “Three Principles of the People,” or the rapidly declining communist system on mainland China. Everyone knows that an actual revolution in China is taking place on the island of Taiwan under the government of the Republic of China, and not on mainland China under the communist regime. I sincerely hope that statesmen throughout the Free World share the same viewpoint, and have nothing to do with the totalitarian communist regime in Peking. It is wishful thinking that Communist China will continue to split with the Soviet Union forever, or that it could be utilized to fight Soviet Russia on behalf of the Free World. Shocking statistics indicate that just before the outbreak of World War II in 1939, there existed 65 communist parties worldwide, with a total member ship of 1.2 million people. At that time only the Soviet Communist Party actually ruled. By 1985, the numbers had increased to 93 communist parties, 27 of them now ruled their countries, comprising of a total membership of more than 1.5 billion, nearly one third of the world population. The United States and the entire Free World should oppose any further absorption of territories and peoples by the communist system. Communist territorial expansion is far from a matter of indifference to the security of the United States, since such loss not only alters the balance of power, but reduces the area of freedom in the world. It is in our own interest to have the non-communist area with its people as large as possible, especially at our own backdoor. In the final analysis, there will be no freedom without victory over world communism. Our ultimate goal is the emancipation of the peoples of all captive nations from the domination of world communism. Prof. Nicholas CHIROVSICY (Ukraine) National Liberation Processes in Ukraine Ukraine, in her struggle for independence against the Russian-Muscovite onslaught among other nations, which are either dominated by or fighting against Kremlin’s sponsored so-called communist imperialism, has been unique for several reasons. First of all, the Ukrainian struggle against Russian-Muscovite imperialism assaults has continued for centuries, — for at least some 350 years. Only a few nations could measure up to the Ukrainian experience in that respect — the Byelorussians, the Tartars and various nationalities of Siberia. Only those na tions which have struggled against Moscow and St. Petersburg for so many years really understand and know what the true nature of Russian-Muscovite im perialism has been, featured by immeasurable mendacity, cruelty and ruthless ness. Secondly, some Western societies which have recently been facing, directly or indirectly, the Soviet Russian threat, are under a misleading impression that communism is their enemy. This is a gross misunderstanding of the real situa 39 tion. Communism today is a completely bankrupt ideology, in which scarcely anybody believes. It is only a tool of Moscow in order to confuse the issues and to advance the cause of Russian domination throughout the globe. We, Ukrainians, after our very long struggle against Russian imperialism, both tsarist and Soviet, see the political issues in the right perspective. The real enemy is Moscow which smoke-screened its traditional thirst to dominate other peoples and lands by communist ideology. It is mandatory to expose and fight against the Kremlin’s insatiable thirst to conquer and to dominate. If the Kremlin were to be defeated, communism would immediately fade away and disappear. Yet, some Western leaders and some nations threatened directly or indirectly by Soviet Russian aggressiveness are either unable to comprehend that fundamental truth or try to avoid the issue. Without facing head on the true fact of Rus- sian-Muscovite imperialism and attempting to resist only communism, they cannot be assured of success in their struggle to save their lands. The name of our organization is the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, the ABN, and not merely the Anti-Communist Bloc of Nations. Why? Because Bolshevism is the true essence of Russian imperialism, armed with the Marxist- Leninist communist doctrine on the march to conquer the world. Today’s unprecedented Russification drive throughout the Soviet Union, aiming at the annihilation of individual nationalities and the creation of one Soviet people, who would think Russian, feel Russian and speak only Russian, is a living witness to the instance that the real danger is not communism, an abortive idea rejected by many, including the People’s Republic of China, but Russian-Muscovite imperialist drive. Thirdly, while the Kremlin wants to dominate, directly or indirectly, other lands, it wants Ukraine to be annihilated as a separate nation altogether. Thus, ours is a deadly struggle to save ourselves as a national entity. Ukraine is, and was, exposed to a more intensive and more aggressive onslaught of Russian imperialism than any other nationality, except the Byelorussians. Yet, the struggle goes on. For more than 10 years, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), waged an armed struggle against the Russians, from 1943 to 1953, and even later. The former soldiers of the UPA were the driving force behind the massive revolts in the Soviet Russian concentration camps in the polar regions at the time of the Korean War, which seriously frightened the Kremlin. In the 1960’s an intellectual movement of the “Shestydesiatnyky” (Writers of the 60’s), represented by Symonenko, Moroz, Chornovil, Karavansky, Dziuba and many, many others, boldly demanded political independence for Ukraine. Although many of them were liquidated most ruthlessly by the Russsians and their notorious KGB, the dissident movement in the 1970’s opposed the Soviet Russian oppressors and their Russification policy. Lukyanenko, Rudenko, Ty- khyj, Terelya and others, demanded human rights and political freedom for Ukraine. Ukrainian resistance in the 1980’s is growing and becoming nationally more and more radical and massive. Generation after generation continues to resist the Soviet Russian terror, attempting to bring the very day of Ukraine’s na tional liberation so much closer. Yet, we must all admit that the Soviet Union is a superpower in today’s world, whether we like it or not. We cannot defeat the Russians single-handed, 40 but united, together with all the subjugated nations, we could. Hence, we, all the nations subjugated and threatened by Soviet Russian imperialism, should join together in our common struggle. Only then, will we be able to become a more powerful anti-Soviet weapon than the nuclear bomb will ever be. Charles ANDREANSZKY (Hungary) “Divide et Impera” There was once a small nation called Austria. It had a very rich and power ful family called the Habsburgs. They built an empire comprised of millions of non-Austrians and turned against many of the strongest countries in Europe. This Austrian empire encompassed over 17 nations. Austria maintained its empire for over centuries — from the 14th to the 20th centuries. This empire was exclusively maintained by political and family cunning. The family, as customary in that period, was identified by the Latin “Austria NUBE”, and members of the Austrian royal family married the kings and princesses of other countries. We now have a new empire — the Russian empire — called the Soviet Union. Of course, Mr. Gorbachev’s offsprings cannot marry sons and daughters of Western leaders because this would not help the empire. Politically, however, they are following the Roman example to the letter by a policy of divide et impera — divide and rule. The basic tenet of Soviet Russian policy for their empire is to allow the different nationalities in their “empire” to confront each other. In order to gain control for the Russian minority, they preach eternal peace and solidarity of the “proletariat” to the “satellite” countries. They are now pursuing this policy worldwide: in Cuba, in many African countries, in Nicaragua, in Afghanistan, in Syria, as well as in many other countries where we do not yet anticipate an explosion. This is a worldwide campaign very much on the same scale as that of the Austrian, but as Metternich is safely in a grave, we now call the leader Gromyko. Let me submit here and now that communism is only a vehicle to achieve Russian domination over the world. Events in the last 18 months clearly indicate that they do not want other types of communism — Eurocommunism of the Italian, Spanish or French type. They desire total submission to Moscow — a Russian type of communism which is not true communism at all. This idea is strange to the West. They talk of a confrontation of the two superpowers. The West does not realize that, while the USA is a voluntary union of 50 states, the USSR is an empire held together by the barrel of a gun — totalitarianism by a small minority over the oppressed. The ABN, formed 42 years ago, has recognized this danger. We have pro claimed all over the five continents that the oppressed peoples in the Soviet Russian empire are the best hope for the West. They are the one and only alternative to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the Soviet Russians have succeeded to a great extent with the divide and rule concept. Much to Moscow’s delight, some captive nations have placed their liberation struggle into second place and are now spending more time and energy fighting each other, with much sacrifice and resolve. Our 41 newspapers which are printed on free soil, are sowing the seeds of hatred toward our neighboring countries through generalizations and condemnations. Instead they should proclaim the truth — that no matter what misunder standings may occur on a day to day basis, the dominant factor is the physical presence and the political influence of Soviet Russia in our occupied countries. What can we do? In my estimation, after 40 years spent in exile, our obliga tion is to adhere to our principles. Our movement must reaffirm that our co operation is based on the platform recognizing the ethnographical principle. However, it is an ABN principle to solemnly declare that all ethnic minorities should be treated equally in all countries. This is the problem in Hungary. We are living in a period of disorder in Hungary proper. The Gulash Communism and its “consumer” related policies have resulted in a yearly loss of population and the highest suicide rate in the world. In addition, the oppression of 5 million Hungarians to the North and East has resulted in a change in the focus of our emigration. In America, freely-printed newspapers from our neighboring countries are joyfully endorsing any statement from their communist and Soviet Russian rulers against Hungarians. The ABN is the only hope for Hungarians. We must act not against, but in concert with the emigration of the nations at the Carpathian Basin. I pledge my fullest cooperation to uphold the ABN principle. Dr. Manfredo BORGES (Cuba) Why Cuba Must Be Free In the 13th century, Russia was known only as the principality of Moscow and, by using the pretext of being tax collectors for the Mongols, began to grow larger and stronger. In 1917, this time under the pretext of communism, Russia once again expanded in power and strength, this time through internationalism and revolution. If the Russian communist empire was built by internationalism and revolution, it must be destroyed by the cooperation and common front of all freedom-loving nations, and by national, anti-communist, anti-Russian re volutions. Cuba must be free, not only because Castro has enslaved it, but because he is also enslaving countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and is posing a threat to the United States. Recently, 1,200 Cubans parachuted in Afghanistan and killed all the civilian population in one town. Cuban advisors are helping Viet nam to repel Cambodians. Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe would not be able to keep their people under slavery, even with all the Russian armaments at their disposal, were it not for Castro’s new, white neo-colonialism and thousands of his mercenary soldiers. In Latin America, Castro keeps 8,000 men who impose Marxist-Leninist ideology in Nicaragua and instigate revolutions throughout Latin America. Castro brings students from Latin America and Africa to Cuba to be indoctri nated in Marxism-Leninism and then sends them back to their countries as cadres. He also trains guerrillas in terrorism. Castro not only sends spies to the United States, but also Latin American Download Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
