                            WE DEMAND

             THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE AND REHABILITATION
                       OF GERHARD BVGELEIN!


On May, 18th 1992 Gerhard Bvgelein, aged 69, was sentenced with
imprisonment for life by a judge of the 22. Criminal Division of
the District Court Hamburg/Germany. The reason of the court:
treacherous morder of a former NS-Wehrmacht (Fascist military)
judge in the year 1947.  This judical decision is terrific for
different reasons:

- The now sentenced Gerhard Bvgelein was an active member of
resistance against the German Fascism; he refused to obey orders,
he was a deserter; he deserted to the Red Army and fought with the
SU against the Fascism.

- The killed NS-Military Judge signed 120 to 170 Death sentences
in the years between 1943 and 1945 and was 1947 still an ardent
National Socialist.

- The investigations and the questionings of witnesses the trial
is founded upon mostly happened in the beginning of the 50ies and
were effected by a former judge of the NS "Volksgerichtshof."

- Most of the witnesses were ardent National Socialists. Gerhard
Bvgelein himself denies the act.

- Until the "Reunification" of the both german states Gerhard
Bvgelein was a citizen of the GDR and was shortly afterwards put
by force -- seriously ill and unfit for imprisonment -- into the
remand prison of Hamburg.

This trial is an example of the falsification of the history by
the German state, that aims at making victims out of NS-committers
and making criminals out of the people who actively stood up
against Fascism and who called to account the murderers.

We are outraged and shocked by this judical decision and call on
all democratic and anti-fascist people in and out of Germany to do
their utmost for the immediate release and rehabilitation of
Gerhard Bvgelein.

At the risk of repeating something readers of this conference 
already know:  The Clinton campaign uses the <alt.politics.clinton> 
newsgroup on Usenet (also available as an ordinary conference here 
on PeaceNet) to post major addresses and statements by the  
candidate.  The conference is also used for a spirited discussion 
about the presidential campaign.   

There is also an <alt.politics.bush> newsgroup, but not (as far as 
I can see) used by the Bush/Quayle campaign.  Too bad: I would have 
liked to have seen Mary Matalin's panicky press release on 
"sniveling hypocritical Democrats." 

Of course, I am not expressing a preference for any candidate (at 
least not until I get my own private account).

RUSSIA
 Atar-TASS correspondents have learned that Russian security agents
have detained an American citizen in the northern Russian city of
Murmansk, where he was taking diskettes with secret information f
from a Russian citizen. The information concerns research in the
Arctic Ocean. 

The incident is likely to be further complicated by the fact that
the American citizen's visa was no longer valid at the time of his
detention. (R. Moscow 8/18)

==================================================================

According to the results of a survey, carried out by the Russian
Sociological Institute, only 25% of the Muscovites who backed Boris
Yeltsin in his fight against the military coup in Aug 1991 say they
are satisfied with the policies of the authorities.

The survey results, broadcast on state television, indicate that
out of the 62% of the people who defended the Russian parliament in
Moscow a year ago, only 40% would back the government if a similar
situation occurred today, and that the coup leaders would double
their support. (Spanish Radio 8/18)


HUNGARY
 The Hungarian police cannot cope with the influx of criminal
groups from the former Soviet Union, a local newspaper reports. It
says that the groups consist of soldiers and officers who deserted
during the withdrawal of Soviet troops from the country, as well as
arriving criminals.

According to the paper, they specialize in the theft and sale of
stolen cars, and the organization of illegal night clubs, with
Russian and Ukrainian girls. 

The paper is appalled by the brutal norms of behavior of the gangs
and their bloody clashes. (R. Moscow 8/18)

"An important semantic development of the past decade that is closely
related to the doublespeak of moderateness and extremism is the new
usage of the concept of "special interests." In earlier years,
special interests meant narrow groups, mainly business groups, who
seek political privilege by lobbying and bribery. Recently, special
interests has come to mean blacks, women, Hispanics, labor, unions,
farmers, and others who add up to a very subtantial majority of the
population. At the same time, business interests are no longer
included in the category -- and by an unspoken new premise their
interests have become synonymous with the National Interest. This
premise is base on the fact that many politicians cannot imagine a
solution to economic problems other than by making things attractive
for business investment; and if they did propose an alternative
solution their campaign funding would dry up ..."

I am currently in the process of researching the possibility of

regulations.

Getting together the organization statewide will be difficult.
Anyone out there have any experience organizing "grassroots efforts"?
If so, please send along some advice....it would be greatly appreciated.

GREENPEACE BLASTS NORWAY'S DECISION TO EXTEND WHALING PROGRAM   
 
LONDON, August 4, 1992 (GP) Greenpeace has blasted a Norwegian 
decision to extend its current "scientific whaling" program into 
the middle of August despite a previous commitment to stop the 
whale hunt by July 31. 
 
     While the Norwegians claim the extended hunt is due to bad 
weather, Greenpeace believes the real reason is to meet a whale 
kill quota of 110.  At the end of last week, the whalers had 
killed half that number. 
 
     The Greenpeace ship, "Solo", has been chasing the Norwegian 
whaling fleet for the past two weeks and according to on-board 
campaigner, Kieran Mulvaney, has been instrumental in reducing 
the kill. 
 
     "Everywhere we went, we restricted the whaling program," he 
said. "Some of the whalers moved out of the whaling areas when we 
arrived. Some simply stopped operating. Others had to seek 
protection from the Navy, and hide in restricted waters. They 
were terrified of being caught in the act of killing whales."     
 
  The "Solo" was followed by two Norwegian coastguard vessels, 
which reported the Solo's position to the whalers, by a Russian 
navy ship, and was overflown by Russian and Norwegian planes, as 
well as helicopters from Britain's Royal Navy and Royal Air 
Force.  
 
     A week into Greenpeace's expedition, the head of Norway's 
scientific whaling programme, Professor Lars Walloe, announced 
that the fleet was under instructions not to kill whales while 
Greenpeace was present. 
 
     "The extension of the season is a blatant attempt to make up 
for the whales they have missed in the past two weeks," 
Mulvaney said. 
 
     Greenpeace has strongly opposed any move towards 
"scientific" whaling since this opened the way to a resumption of 
full-scale commercial killing. 
 
     Norway has already announced its plans to resume commercial 
whaling next year -- with or with out the approval of the 
International Whaling Commission.

            GREENPEACE APPLAUDS LEGISLATIVE ACTION 
                  TO PROTECT MARINE MAMMALS    
 
WASHINGTON, August 4, 1992 (GP)  Greenpeace enthusiastically 
applauded last night's passage by the House of a legislative 
initiative promoting greater understanding of marine mammal 
deaths in U.S. waters.   
 
The Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Act (HR 3486) 
calls for closer examination of the health of marine mammal 
populations, some of which are showing serious signs of decline.  
Further, the act would lay the foundation for coordinated federal 
response to animal strandings and catastrophic events involving 
whales, dolphins, and seals.  Existing federal marine mammal 
tissue banks would be centralized as well. 
 
"Marine mammals are significant indicators of the general health 
of the marine environment," said Bruce McKay of Greenpeace.  
"Though some 2,000 marine mammals wash ashore dead along U.S. 
coasts each year, there is no formal program to look at the 
underlying causes.  The signs of environmental degradation are 
there, now we must address them." 
 
There have been four cases of unprecedented marine mammal mass 
mortalities in U.S. waters since 1987 excluding the Exxon Valdez 
disaster.  In 1987/88 a die-off wiped out at least half of the 
population of bottlenose dolphin along the east coast as well as 
several humpback whales in Cape Cod Bay.  Although these species 
appear to have been poisoned by a natural algal or "red tide" 
toxin, sewage discharge and agricultural runoff may have 
facilitated the growth of the algae.   
 
Such events have not been limited to the East Coast.  Unexplained 
die-offs of bottlenose dolphin have occurred in the Gulf of 
Mexico in 1990 and again early this year.  Even Alaska is seeing 
warning signs such as an 85 percent drop in the harbor seal   
 population in the Gulf of Alaska between 1976 and 1988 and a 60 
percent decline of Stellar sea lions in the eastern Aleutian 
Islands and western Gulf of Alaska in 5 years.  Overfishing is 
implicated in these Alaskan declines. 
 
"Our careless disregard of the ocean resources is contributing to 
a marine meltdown that we do not even fully understand," said 
McKay.  "The Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Act is a 
first step toward taking responsibility for the link between our 
actions and the disruption of the ocean ecosystem."
