Note 3: From the address of that periodical and also from my address can be ordered the books in Spanish: Guerra Popular en el Perú - El pensamiento Gonzalo - Tomo I. (Recopilación y edición: Luis Arce Borja) Primera edición, Bruselas, junio 1989, 418 páginas Guerra Popular en el Perú - El pensamiento Gonzalo - Tomo II. (Recopilación y edición: Luis Arce Borja) Primera edición, Alemania, julio 1994, 305 páginas Price, each volume: $20.00 COMMENT by RM: A common denominator for that periodical, abbreviated "EDI", and myself is that we both support the people's war in Peru led by the PCP and since 1994 have been denouncing the stabbing in the back of that people's war, in connection with the "peace letters" hoax from 1993 on, by the leaders of the so-called "RIM" (Revolu- (tionary Internationalist Movement") and further since 1996 have been denouncing the "Quispe" gang of phony "critics" but real supporters of the "RIM" leaders - "Luis Quispe" (W. Palomino) is editor of the "New Flag", NYC, USA, organ of the fraudulent "MPP-USA" (see below). However, there also is a conflict between EDI and my- self, in that that periodical so far still is failing to distance itself from the "RIM" as such, which as a "pre- paratory International", as I've pointed out, from its very beginning was a complete phony, and whose 1984 ba- sic document, the so-called "RIM Declaration", which un- fortunately the PCP in Peru is still endorsing, I from 1994 on have been proving is a reactionary document, which in today over 20 languages is continuing to pub- licly distort and vilify Mao Zedong's correct line, try- ing to lead the international proletariat right in front of the guns of its worst enemies, above all those of US imperialism. I at present don't know how that conflict will be resol- ved. The debate is latent. I'm hoping that unity will be possible. NEWS: After writing the above lines, I yesterday received the latest issue of EDI, No. 47, of July, 1998. It among other things for the first time contains an e-mail ad- dress to the periodical: "eldiario@hatmail.com", which I guess must be a misprint for - this will soon be ascertained. Furthermore, an article in that issue attacking a cer- tain recent phony campaign "¡Viva el RMI!" (Long live RIM!"), which will take me some time to read properly, i.a. contains the interesting statement that one should *not* think that a real communist International could be built up by proceeding from the "RIM". This is new too, and to me looks like a step forward by EDI. This is one of the things I (in the beginning, as "just one lone voice") have been saying since close to four years now - via the Net, since early 1996. 02. BELGIUM: Solidaire Bd M. Lemonnier 171 1000 Bruxelles Belgium Tel: +32 - 2 - 513 66 26 Fax: +32 - 2 - 513 98 31 E-mail: Website: (KLasber) (Weklu) (Weklu) (Wasderg) NOTE 2: The (apparently) last issue so far of the magazine NEUE EINHEIT appeared in December, 1994 (entitled "Zusammenfassende Nummer 1991 bis 1994" - "Summary Issue 1991-1994"; the second-last in 1991: "Zusammen- fassende Nummer 1990"). Before that, there were 1 or 2, or sometimes more, issues per year. In that (so far) last issue, there still appeared as publisher of that periodical: Zentralkomitee der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands / Marxisten-Leninisten (NEUE EINHEIT) - Central Committee of the KPD/ML(NEUE EINHEIT) (as was the official ab- breviation of that party's name), and as Editor responsible: Klaus Sender; Editorial Board: Klaus Sender (Ed.-in-Chief), Uwe Müller, Walter Grobe, Klas Ber Since then, the above party has been liquidated (appa- rently in 1995; on a "NEUE EINHEIT Extrablatt" in Octo- ber, 1995, its name no longer appeared). It was publicly stated, in an Internet posting in August 1997, that "that organization was now going by the name of": "Gruppe NEUE EINHEIT" (Group NEUE EINHEIT"). It's unknown to me whether that "Group" has offically taken over the role of the former party as publisher of that magazine or not. COMMENT by RM: On the truly historical treason, from approximately the mid/late 1980s on, by that formerly so excellent and, despite its always being quite small, extremely impor- tant Marxist-Leninist party, the KPD/ML(NEUE EINHEIT), with which I was in close contact from 1974 until April, 1990, see several Internet postings by me, above all: 'VEREINIGT EUCH! Info #49de: Kritik der NE, 1990' (11 parts, containing above all an Aug-Sep 1990 criti- cism by me, in corresponding to some 40 pages A4 in German) and 'UNITE! Info #50en: My line & "weklu's" weak lies' (6 parts), both of 22.08.1997. That group of people, though absolutely not to be trus- ted, still retain considerable knowledge in various fields and thus I recommend people to read their stuff, while warning all to take very good care not to fall in any of their traps and to check very carefully on each and every statement of theirs concerning political and other matters. NOTE: The periodicals noted and commented on above are the ones I consider to be the politically relatively most important ones among those which I'm informing you, Stec, and others about in this posting. When I'm criss-crissing a bit between countries here and am not bringing all the periodicals from the same country together, this is also due to my having put those which I hold are of the greatest interest first. 05.

COMMENT by RM: This is the main (more or less direct) publication of that miserable swindler entity the "RIM" (see above). It's only "inspired by", and not "the official organ of", the "RIM", it declares. But for instance, it's housed in the same building where, i.a., also the "RIM" has "its" only sort of "official address", that of the so-called "Information Bureau of the RIM". 08. UNITED KINGDOM: Emergency Bulletin of the International Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr Abimael Guzman (IEC) BCM-IEC 27 Old Gloucester Street London WC1N 3XX UK Tel/Fax: +44 - 171 - 482-0853 In English. Edition also in Spanish. Period between issues, and subscription rates: Not available. NOTE: Published from 1993 on, and in the beginning bi-monthly, later monthly, went to over 40 countries. I'm uncertain whether it in practice still exists today, and don't know when was its latest issue. Abimael Guzman is identical with the chairman of the PCP in Peru, comrade Gonzalo, held in captivity by the reactionary regime in Peru since September, 1992. COMMENT by RM: As can be seen from its address, this Emergency Bulletin is a publication that, in practice, is very closely con- nected with "AwtW" and the "RIM". This however is *not*, and was from the very beginning not, officially so. The Emergency Bulletin is the organ of the IEC, which is organizationally quite independent of the "RIM" and all other organizations respectively entities, and was founded at a conference in Duisburg, Germany, in February, 1993. The IEC has its programmatic basis, as a united-front organization, in its Call for Defending the Life of Dr Abimael Guzman, and a set of statutes consisting of its by-laws, which were decided on at the above conference. I was in on that conference, as one of two official delegates from the (already provisionally founded) Emergency Committee in Sweden, and as such was in on the decisions on the IEC's programme and by-laws. I from that conference on am member (one out of two repre- senting the IEC chapter in Sweden) of the highest de- ciding organ of the IEC, its Steering Committee (SC, originally consisting of 42 members), which at the founding conference also elected an executive organ resposible to it, the IEC's Co-ordinating Committee (consisting of 3 officers of the IEC). In 1994, that IEC Co-ordinating Committee (its govern- ment, so to speak) flagrantly contravened the IEC's by-laws, by failing to circulate to all the other SC members a certain proposal of 12.04.1994 by me, as one SC member (the contents of that proposal being that we, the IEC, internationally publish that important decla- ration by the CC of the PCP in Peru of 07.10.1993 which refuted the reactionary "peace letters" hoax but which the "RIM" was continuing to suppress). That Committee thus made itself illegal, which it remains today. This also means that the Emergency Bulletin "of the IEC", controlled by that Committee, today - if it still does exist - is a *pirate publication*, *not* really of the IEC. My public call from February, 1995, for the *convoca- tion of a plenary meeting of the Steering Committee* (or parliament, so to speak) of the IEC, in order, among other things, to depose "our" now *illegal* "govern- ment", still stands. Another matter is the question of what practical impor- tance this has today, when, apparently, the entire IEC, which once did mobilise considerable masses for a just cause, has been more or less entirely liquidated due to the actions of those who originally, for certain murky purposes of their own, brought it into being in the first place. But I'm calling on others to *counteract* these liquida- tion efforts too. 09.

NOTE: The perodical's name means "Red Worker". Taranto is si- tuated on the east coast of southern Italy and i.a. has a NATO naval base and a big steelworks with once 15,000 employees, many of whom however have later been laid off. COMMENT by RM: This is one of the papers (purportedly) i.a. supporting the PCP in Peru but in practice apparently, more or less totally today, parroting the phony "RIM". During one period around 1994, it made some criticisms of the "RIM" leaders' support of the "peace letters" hoax in Peru, and then was in friendly contact with El Diario Internacional (see above). But this later stopped. 10. USA: The New Flag 30-08 Broadway, Suite 159 Queens, New York 11106 USA E-mail: Website: Website: In Swedish. Published quarterly by, and organ of, Svenska Clartéförbundet.

Biggest Spanish- language paper in Scandinavia, circulation some 50,000 copies. Informative in some respects, though heavily influenced both by US imperialist and Russian new tsarist forces - i.a. very nastily "green". 14. (SWEDEN - ETC, ETC:) Proletären - etc, etc NOTE, COMMENT by RM: While looking up this very nasty pro-new-tsarist and generally pro-imperialist phony rag - which once upon a time I actually used to sell, back in 1973-74 when it was still camouflaging itself pretty well, pretending to be pro-Mao Zedong etc - I hit on *a Net link page* which has been put together by those swindlers who're responsible for its publication noe (leaders of Swedish organization "KPML(r)") and which contains links to a very large number of organizations (and thus their pe- riodicals), all or most of them no doubt of a very sus- pect character indeed, in many different countries. That link page also shows up some Marxism archives, including some very good ones. This whole thing is quite new to me. It certainly merits a lot of investigation, not least for you when pursuing your project, Stec - my words of warning you and others have already seen above. Here's that site's address: 15.

The periodical is of "old-time" openly pro-Soviet- revisionism type, with contacts to many others of the same sort in various countries in above all eastern and western Europe, and some non-European. Though I consider its basic line to be very reactionary, I've also found it to be informative on certain counts. --- This list of perodicals and comments supplied by: Postal address: Rolf Martens Nobelvaegen 38 SE - 214 33 Malmoe SWEDEN Tel: +46 - 40 - 124832
