This is an old booklet dating back from 1977 giving details of what was being planned for south africa. Apartheid was not a sustainable system for both moral and demographic reasonss but could have developped into something closer to the swiss system.(my prefferred option for SA). However the forces arrayed against the country made sure that there would be war and terror. Be as it may, this gives an interesting if dated look to what happened. John The War on South Africa-Aida Parker Foreword THE SERIES of articles which recently appeared in The Citizen - “US Secret War on South Africa” - and now collated in this booklet infuriated some readers, delighted others, puzzled many more. Why, they asked, should the rulers of the most powerful capitalist, democratic nation on earth deliberately set out to “destabilise” the only capitalist, democratic nation’ in Africa? South Africans are not alone in asking such questions. As far back as July, 1972, Fortune magazine in a special supplement on South Africa commented editorially that “there must by now be a lot of businessmen who are puzzled about the unique, emotionally charged character of hostility to South Africa. “US and European businessmen who invest there, athletes who represent South Africa at international events, and trade unionists who have represented it at the International Labour Organisation have been treated as pariahs by a considerable body of world opinion. “The same body of world opinion seems relatively unconcerned about the whole denials of human and civil rights in the Soviet bloc, in much, if not most the Third World’, end across most of Africa itself.” It is important to point out that while the Carter Administration has for the first time brought the American attack on South Africcl into the open, agencies of the US have in fact been busy trying to dislodge the established South African Government for many years. Why? The Prusssian General von Claueewitz said the three main causes of war were almost always: - A desire for someone else’s territory. -A desire for someone else’s markets. - A desire for someone else’s wealth. To a great degree this is a war of strategic minerals South Africa has them. America Wants them. But many Informed people today believe there is another and even more sinister motive behind the US secret war on South Africa. Under President Jimmy Carter, almost all key decision-maker posts in the US Administration are held by members of an elite international organization known as the Trilateral Commission; Founded and funded in July, 1973, by billionaire banker Mr David Rockefeller as an offshoot of the enormously powerful Council on Foreign Relations (America’s so-called “invisible Government”), the Trilateralists believe that the time has come to make an energetic thrust for a New World Order. To achieve this New World Order they are already seeking an accommodation with the Russians. And, as a further move, certain “obstacle” countries must be removed. These include such fiercely independent sovereign states as Israel and South Africa. Israel has already heard her warning signals. Now South Africa is hearing hers. That is what this book is all about. --------------- Secret US war on South Africa THE CITIZEN today begins a series of startling disclosures on the secret war which the Carter Administration is waging against South Africa. it is an operation is which: - Opinion against South Africa is being mobilized in such not seen in the US on a scale and intensity since the anti-Vietnam War crusade. - - ‘Foreign Governments, through US embassies are being pressured into withdrawing or reducing investment in South Africa. - Agencies of the US Government are actively trying to destabilise the postion here by generous assistance to resistance movements, Black Consciousness bodies and would be Black leaders. ‘The US electorate generally knows little, if anything, about the ramifications of a campaign organised and sponsored by the liberal-international wing of the State Department and its counterparts in the Central Intelligence Agency. This liberal-international wing is now well-placed in the White House hierarchy and is exercising a decisive influence on the Carter Administration’s policies. These elements have decided that the Whites of South Africa are finished. The war now being waged is to ensure that the end of White rule, and the substitution of Black majority rule, is achieved as speedily as possible - and that when the Blacks take over, the US will have a special and friendly relationship with them, whether they are pro- or anti-Marxist. My inquiries prove that: 1. South Africa is now No 1 on the American liberal “hit list”, ranking higher even than Rhodesia or Chile. 2. Over the past three years, in an attempt to slow or stop the rapid erosion of goodwill between Pretoria and Washington, Pretoria has found it expedient to tolerate gross interference in its domestic affairs, at an ever-increasing rate, by various US agencies. 3. in the US liberal-international campaign to overthrow the Whites there is a massive and increasing flow of covert State Department-CIA funds into this country to support resistance and other anti-Government groups and organisations. 4. There is good reason to suspect that much of this money is funneled into the Republic through the US Embassy in Botswana, an office handling a daily and busy traffic of South African dissidents. Prominent among this embassy’s regular visitors are senior members of BPC (Black People’s Convention), SASO (South African Students Organisation) and SSRC (Soweto Students’ Representative Council). These and others, including Page 9 many banned persons, have easy access to large sums of money for their activities. 5. The CIA has over the years financially assisted in the creation of a whole solar system of political, cultural, academic, labour, church and social organisations, some of which are militant, has aimed to create a Black -White polarisation and is out to destroy the existing order. 6. There is ample evidence that among the first major CIA-backed organizations was Mr Robert Sobukwe’s PAC (Pan-African Congress), established in 1959 and formed, according to Harry Winston, a former chairman of the US Communist Party, “in the luxurious offices of the USIS in Johannesburg. “ANC witnesses made similar claims in a political trial in Randburg earlier this year. It was the PAC-led defiance campaign that finally led to the shootings at Sharpeville. In more recent years, the CIA has given covert support to organisations such as the Black People’s Convention, SASO, SSRC, the Black Community Programme, the Union of Black Jouinalists, the Black Allied Workers’ Union and the National Youth Organisation. 7. None of these organisations was aware of the ultimate origin of its fundings, or that it was being manipulated for clandestine international political purposes. Even now, all vehemently deny any American connection. So strongly did Steve Biko (30), ex-president of SAS0 and a founder member of BPC, feel about the US that in April he turned down an official invitation to visit America. Yet it is a well-established fact that two of the CIA’s best-supported organizations were BPC and SASO. 8. Many other Black radicals and activists unsuspectingly travel the world as members of the CIA “jetset,” often on funds from such CIA conduits as the Africa Bureau, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, the Africa-America Institute, the International University Exchange Fund, the Congress for Cultural Freedom and similar “front” organisations. And that is the mere tip of the iceberg. , My investigations also show that: The US Government pays for the defence of almost every major treason and resistance triallist, through funds provided by CIA conduits such as the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under The Law. Money is no object. Extensive trials earn extensive publicity. In last year ’s SAS0 trial, a total of R340 500 was made available to the defence. Of this, a London firm of attorneys contributed R21 500; the SA Council of Churches R98 000, the Africa-American institute (a CIA conduit) R221 000. Extraordinary efforts are made to conceal CIA involvement. Neither trialists nor defence teams are ever told of the identity of the sponsors of the funds -yet there is Scarcely a political trial in the country in which the CIA is not somehow involved. Nearly all political trials are prominently attended by US diplomatic officials. There is evidence that USIS involvement in South African student, labour and political affairs goes far beyond what might be regarded as acceptable. The USIS was the first (and only) foreign service to establish a Reading Room in Soweto. This may, on the face of it, be regarded as an educational and cultural service, with technical and other works being made available. However, there are many works dealing with the civil rights struggle which Mr Andy Young and other US officials are trying to relate to the South African situation, encouraging Blacks here to follow the American Negro civil rights example. The USIS Soweto facility is also regularly used by the Azanian Poets and Writers Association. Here, many Inflammatory works are read which try to draw 10 analogies between the American civil rights struggle and Black Power in South Africa. Court records show that the USIS offices in Shakespeare House, Johannesburg, have frequently been used after hours for duplicating illegal revolutionary pamphlets, although it is not suggested that US officials are directly involved in this. It was the Johannesburg USIS which arranged a Sunday afternoon meeting between UN Ambassador Andy Young and an audience including some of the country’s best-known political activists. Senior Cabinet Ministers claimed this meeting directly contravened the agreed terms of Mr Young’s visit. Presumably, it could not have been held without the knowledge and approval of the US Ambassador. While rattling the sword of human rights, the Carter Administration does not show the same delicacy about human lives. There is ample evidence that US agents financially back militants who are busy trying to exploit the delicate racial balance by inciting feelings against the Whites and the Government. Prominent in this context is Drake *Koka, the militant Black, trade unionist widely credited with being ..one of the main instigators of last year’s bloody Soweto riots. Koka later fled to Botswana, where he used CIA funds to organise a “channel” for Soweto students wishing to jump the border, often with the intention of going north for terrorist training. CIA funds helped to pay for the big charter airlifts of Rhodesian and South African runaways to Zambia, Tanzania ‘and other places. There is evidence of a deliberate cultivation of a South African political fifth column through Washington’s many so-called “cultural exchanges.” Efforts to obtain full lists of such US guests over the last three years have failed. Mr Jake Jacobson, director of the USIS, said he was unable to provide them to The Citizen because of America’s “privacy laws.” It is, however, known that lately about one Black a week has left on an extensive tour of the US. Among them are known militants, including some “students” detained after the Soweto riots. It is not, however suggested that all are militants, though many are. The Americans are very thorough. Not only do they invite established Black leaders, they also go into the second and third echelons of those who might one day shape as leadership material. Mr Andy Young has called on the US to train Blacks to take over the South African administration. In open grants, the US has this year allocated nearly R3-million for Black students from South Africa in four programmes alone. In certain cases, bursaries may only be granted if the application is approved by a recognised “liberation” movement. There is evidence that several major US business houses with South African subsidiaries are used both as covers and channels for anti-South African political activity and as fronts for intelligence operations. Some are used to employ black militants “too hot” to be employed by other businesses. In this campaign against White South Africa, it is known that various US Government agencies carry out continuous “vulnerability and feasibility” studies on South Africa, to devise measures aimed at damaging the country and to exploit South Africa’s weaknesses. In addition, the CIA’s “covert action” division, comprising sociologists, psychologists, historians and media specialists, maintains regular research into the country. This group specialises in selecting “reachable targets,” including students, intellectuals, academics, journalists, clergymen, missionaries and others. A declared tactical aim of the Carter Administration is to promote disaffection, in the Republic by undermining the economy, on the assumption that the masses will take affairs into their own hands if life becomes sufficiently difficult. This is the basis of the current vigorously pursued “disinvestment” policy. it is not, of course, the first time that the US, through the CIA, has conducted operations against legal governments. Two spectacular previous exam-pies were the campaigns against Fidel Castro in Cube and President Allende in Chile. For four years, after the Bay of Pigs debacle in the Kennedy years, the CIA tried to destroy the Castro Government, on a scale and in a way that is almost a blueprint for the present South African operation. The secret war against Cuba eventually required the services of several thousand men and about Rl 00-million a year. The campaign failed in ail its objectives. instead of overthrowing Castro, it consolidated him with his people. More importantly, it forced him into the hands of the only Government willing to defy the US - Soviet Russia. South Africa has many lessons to learn from the Cuban experience, one of the most vital being that a people’s greatest danger can lie in ignorance of the true nature of that danger. South Africa has been so obsessed with the overt danger from the Soviet Union that it has more or less ignored the covert danger from the US posed by the liberal-international element in the American Government. U.S. master plan to wreck S.A. economy “‘GROUP ACTION,” latest US master plan aimed at collapsing the South African economy, is a highly professional document - “so competently prepared that it makes your blood go cold,” commented one analysys. Already it is being used as a basis for anti-South African activity in 1 000 US universities and thousends of US churches, community end labour groups. “Group Action” is the work of the American Friends Service Committee. in its foreword, the 60-page document, “Action Guide on South Africa,” points out: 1 - That the US is now South Africa’s third largest trading partner, surpassed as a customer only by the UK and Japan, and as a supplier by the UK and West Germany. 2 - That there are approximately 400 US firms now active in South Africa with investments of et least Rl 8OO-miiiion in book value. 3 - That the US now holds about 20 percent of ail foreign investment In South Africa. 4 Efficiently used says the document, this “Group Action” blueprint could make possible “the first steps . . .for total corporate withdrawal from South Africa.” The document then details how sympathisers, militants and activists, Operating companies, state and national organisations, can assist in the overall campaign to strangle the South African Government, financially and economically. it gives full details of methods for: 1 - Arranging, sponsoring end promoting trade and sports boycotts. 2 - Arranging, sponsoring end promoting an onslaught on all banks end finance houses dealing with South Africa. 3 - How to set about wrecking sales of the Kruger Rand in America. 4 - How to proceed against all companies, especially multi-nationals, Or with subsidiaries doing business in this country. Because of the depth of penetration of American industrial, investment and mining commitment into the South African economy generally, this document then becomes politicai and economic dynamite. Should “Group action” succeed even partially in its objectives, the national economy could be knocked sideways end the jobs of tens of thousands of workers, Bieck end White alike, dangerously jeopardised. The immediate question then is: Just who end what is the American Friends Service Committee? Who provides its funds - a campaign of this type can be very costly, indeed? More particularly, is the American Government in any way Involved in this effort? The Philadelphia-based AFSC, described as a “peace organisation” supported by the Quaker Church, was initially organised in 1917 by the Quakers as a welfare organisation. In its first 12 years AFSC enjoyed a widespread reputation as a commendable welfare arm of the Quakers. Massive change, however came with the appointment of one Clarence Picket (AFSC Executive Secretary, 1929-50). During his tenure AFSC became an active political pressure group. Some of its associations were with communists and neo-communists. Some were with American supporters of a One-World government. Others were with organisations in sympathy with the so-called African “liberation” movements. These included the American Committee on Africa, Africa Defence and Aid Fund, and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. In 1964 the US House Special Committee to investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations reported that the AFSC assisted in the organisation of the American Student Union, cited as a communist front; the War Resisters’ League; the Fellowship of Reconciliation; the Independent Communist Labour League and other Left-wing, procommunist bodies. Despite this sympathetic link with communist or pro-communist organisa-tions, don’t think for a moment that AFSC was dependent on funds from communist sources. On the contrary, the Special Committee expressed concern that the Ford Foundation had granted AFSC *‘a total of $1,340,000 of the public’s money, notwithstanding the ASC’s history of political activity.” The Special Committee concluded that, when the Ford Foundation gave tax-exempt funds to the politically active AFSC, the Foundation’s officers “were guilty of gross neglect.” But was the AFSC really interested in underpinning communist sectional activity, or was it more interested in the establishment of a “One-World government”? The answer to that seemed to come in 1965, when AFSC published a special study entit1e.d “Speak Truth to Power: A Quaker Search for-an Alternative to Violence.” US senators attacked this study as “a combination of extreme pacifism and defeat in the face of the international communist conspiracy.” Included in the study was a bitter denunciation of anti-communism. To improve the US, the study recommended the “conscientious refusal to take loyalty oaths (or) to do military service.” America, said the AFSC, “should get rid of its military establishment. Various avenues might be taken to achieve this result. Many suggested that the most probable and most practical approach would be through the simple transfer of the security function to a world organization.” Other recommendations included the support of great “social revolutions” throughout the world. Since the mid-60s AFSC has shown an almost total commitment to this concept, with South Africa as a particular target country for destabilising activities. . How should AFSC today be listed? As a communist-front organisation? Or as an offshoot of America’s liberal-international “New World Order” wing, the concept of a world “supra-state” as advocated by the Rockefeller-dominated Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral commission, now in effective control of the Carter Administration? Best answer to that lies in one of AFSC’s main sources of funding: from the giant Rockefeller Foundation. Now let’s look at some of the 74 organisations which have pledged their sup-port and backing to the “Group Action” onslaught on South Africa. Many are “zombie” groups without any real political muscle. Others are heavyweights, the most important being: The American Committee on Africa. Staff 16; members around 20 000, lncuding Congresswoman Bella Abzug; labour leader Victor Reuther; actor Sidney Poitier; writer James Baldwin. ACOA is the parent organisation for virtually all non-church, non-racial Marxist, anti-South African groups in the US. Since its founding, it has been a focal point for both US political and financial support of African liberation movements. It set up the Africa Defence and Aid fund (US); has mobilised prominent sport and entertainment figur-es to boycott South Africa; has initiated action and CO- operates with other organisations in public demonstrations, pickets and rallies. it played an important role in the outlawing of US imports of Rhodesian chrome; during the Angola War worked feverishly to support the Marxist MPLA; controls the publication of the quarterly journal, Africa Today, which is virulently anti-South African and is found on almost all US campuses and In most US public libraries. ACOA is the prime source behind the publication of the bi-monthly magazine, Southern Africa, highly regarded in the African liberation movements and with a wide circulation. ACOA has played a leading role in the US “disinvestment” campaign against South Africa. It was largely responsible for the church-sponsored boycott of ITT, Motorola, IBM and Control Data. It challenged ITT’s investments in South Africa. ACOA staffer Paul Irish helped to form the coalition to prohibit the importation ‘of South African coal. ACOA was behind the legal suit to prohibit US new-spapers from accepting advertisements for jobs in South Africa. ACOA earlier this year sponsored an “Apartheid Kills” poster contest, with a first prize of $500 for the best poster which would “dramatically awaken people to the murder, injustice and oppression which is apartheid.” ACOA is also behind the “Stop the Kruger Rand” campaign, equating the purchase of the Kruger Rand with “investment in oppression.” ACOA has been financially supporting African liberation movements since the mid- 19 60’s. Does the US Government disapprove or attempt in any way to restrict ACOA activity? Well, again, the best answer to that lies in ACOA’s funding. While it is very difficult to work one’s way through the labyrinthine maze of US foundation support for these various anti-South African groups, in this case it can be disclosed that ACOA is officially financed from the Africa Fund. A “charitable and educational” foundation, the Africa Fund was set up to allow ACOA to receive tax-deductable contributions and to provide’ it with a more efficient method of receiving and disbursing funds for ACOA activities and programmes. Among the Africa Fund’s most regular and generous patrons are the Samuel Rubin Foundation and the Norman Foundation both stated to be regular CIA conduits. Like the Africa Fund, both are also tax exempt. Immediately a fund or foundation is declared “tax exempt”, it means, in effect that it has Government support. No Government would allow any fund or foundatlon to continue as “tax exempt” if it was considered that such a body operated against the Interests of that Government. It can be assumed then that ACOA and others like it operate with at least the tacit approval and consent of the Washington Administration. Secret U.S. war on S.A.- new disclosures THE US secret war against South Africa shows increasing signs of flaring Into an open confrontation. Both at official and unofficial levels, economically, politically and psychologically, the Carter Administration is stepping up the pressure to subvert and destabilise South Africa. In one of Washington’s most disturbing recent moves, the all-power National Security Council, the President’s chief policy-making body, ordered a top confidential, highly-classified survey of ail American contacts with South Africa over the last year in the field of trade, science and technologies such es coal gasiflcation, chemicals and communications. 0 All files in the public sector are being checked on the South African involvement, and in the private sphere people have been asked to make available all details of official end non-official dealings with South Africa in the preceding 12 months. Although the precise purpose of the NSC survey is not yet clear, well-placed observers fear it could be a preliminary to cut-off in any scientific end technological information that could help South Africa to develop its own resources. Further interference in South African trade is also regarded es e distinct possibility once the information has been collated. A top New York industrialist told me: “if they ere not already doing, this might be a good time for the South, Africans to start stockpiling, especially in the communications, aeronautical end general technological fields.” Top London bankers report there is “absolute, direct unhidden” American pressure on Britain to shrink trade with South Africa “The present pressure goes far beyond mere harassment,” said one banker. ‘The Carter Administration gives every indication of wishing to precipitate a major decline in South Africa by punitive economic sabotage.” Apart from the British, major West German, France end Swiss banks also report they are being strongly coerced by the US not to lend to South Africa. 0 Most potent example of the growing strength of the private, professional anti-South African lobby in America is “Action Guide on South Africa,” issued by the American Friends Service Committee, a far-left organisation enjoying substantial support from a number of big American foundations, and a prime recipient of CIA money. 0 Sixty pages long, the “Action Guide” lists 74 organisations in the US and in various foreign countries, which can be relied on to give maximum Support and pressure campaigns against corporations dealing with South Africa nr with South African subsidiaries, consumer boycotts, stockholder revolts and anti-sport activities. 0 These organisations include the well-funded, strongly anti-South African American Committee on Africa; the Anti-Apartheid Movement of the USA, a re-cent offshoot of the British movement; the Episcopal Churchman for South Africa; the February 1 Movement; the interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility; international Defense and Aid; Liberation Support Committee: Southern Africa Committee: US Catholic Conference; World Council of Churches to Com-bat Racism; Afro-American information Service; Africa Legal Assistance Project: Amnesty international, USA; African Studies Association: National Conference of Black Political Studies; Southern Africa Research Foundation; Congress of African People; Campaign for Global Justice; Task Force on Southern Africa, end the United People’s Cempaign Against Apartheid and Racism. 0 Some of these ere perfectly respectable church groups opposed to South Africa because, as humanist, they reject any form of race restriction. Some are far-left revolutionaries, some ere anti-White and anti-capitalist. Some are funded by the CIA, some are privately funded, some seek to gain support from Cuba and other Marxist Stetes. But one thing that it Is essential for South Africans to understand is this: though represent an increasingly powerful force in America; universally, these groups are dedicated to South Africa’s destruction; and they are far more numerous better financed and far more efficient than most South Africans realise. One of the main strategies laid down by this leftist “think-tank” is the radicalisation of the universities in this new anti-South African onslaught. Revamping the civil rights strategies of the 60's, the groups heve already been in touch with more than 1 000 universities, trying to force an end to involvement with any company or corporation doing business with South Africa. 0 The second stage of the campaign is to have activists attend the annual general meetings of every major financial institution providing loans to South Africa. Here group action has already scored some success. The Rockefeller Chase-Manhattan Bank was the first to announce it would in future not underwrite loans to South Africa *’ which could uphold apartheid in any way.” Apart from annual general annual meeting activity, Group Action is also spearheading Sustained protest against any company dealing with South Africa. IBM, for instance, which is accused of doing business directly with the South African Defence Force and the Atomic Energy Board, is currently the subject of intense lobbying by the anti-South African movements. The strategy here is to insist that the South African connection is by no means crucial to US conglomerates and that it could be ended without serious financial sacrifice. ??American sales of the gold Kruger rand have been a particular target. Group Act ion says: “The South Africans recently signed a $5-million contract with Doyle, Dane and Bernbach of New York to mount a huge advertising campaign in 25 American cities for the South African Kruger rand.” it then urges: “Call 800-243-6000, the toil-free KR number, to lodge a protest against South African presence in the US. “Calll 800-243-6000 to find out what dealers in your area handle the KR coins. Approach these local dealers (usually banks and coin dealers), about their involvement. “Offer the dealers a decal for their windows: ‘We do not deal in apartheid. No Krugerrands sold here.’ ” 17 This is a particularly effective campaign, for it not only Jams up the line for people genuinely interested in buying the Krugerrand, but also means it costs the protesters nothing. South Africans are paying for their call, which is charged to the South Africajn interests organising the campaign to sell Krugerrands. 0 One victim of the anti-Krugerrand campaign has been. the Manufacturers National Bank in Detroit. Not only has this bank and its various branches been repeatedly picketed, but churches, companies, schools, universities and others are being pressured not to do business with this institute as long as it handles South African gaid coin sales. Editorial comment in one anti-South African Detroit paper reads: “The Krugerrand is a one-ounce gold coin sold by the racist White Government of South Africa. “Presently Zj60 000 KR a month are sold for a total of $50-million. This money is used, to buy tanks, guns and planes to maintain the racist regime and enforce the ttarrtible oppression of the Black working class.” 0 Group Ac’tion, church groups and Black militants are jointly organising a nation-wide boycott of South African and South West African (Namibian) consumer products - but It appears this is easier said than done. Group Action reports: “Sardine can labels give no clue when their contents come from Namibia, for instance. Nonetheless, Smith-Corona-Marchand, through its subsidiary Durkee Famous Foods, markets Namibian sardines under the trade name ‘Granadaise.’ Star-Kist markets Namibian sardines through the French Sardine Company of California, using the name ‘E&-well.’ “In fa,ct, the US Department of Defence - contrary to a 1971 ruling by the International Court of Justice - bought $1,2-million worth of Namibian fish from Star-Kist in 1976. “OlsoMonte also sells Namibian fish illegally, as do the Norwegian Fish Im-porte’Is and the Mitsubishi International Corporation. . “Since there are still other distributors of illegal Namibian catches . . . it becomes hard to buy any can of sardines with a clear conscience.” Clearly, Group Action is calling for a boycott of the products it names. Group Action is also planning the first concerted American effort to sever all sporting links with South Africa. Here it is working with a new group called the American Co-ordinating Committee for Equality in Sport and Society -the key adviser is Dennis Brutus of SANROC. Anti-South African acitivity is also rapidly and vigorously developing in a variety of other spheres. The New York State legislature recently debated a Bill designed to “reward” corporations and companies that do not do business with South Africa. Introduced by Assembly-man Albert Vann, chairman of the Black and Puerto Rican Legislative Caucus, this Bill calls on the State to give preference to cor-porations which do not do business with South Africa. 0 Among those invited to give evidence on the Bill were New York represen-tatives of the ANC, PAC and other South African “liberation groups.” The Bill has very strong support from the Black labour unions, which claim that South African imports into America “deprive” US workers of jobs and ex-ploit cheap African Black labour. Interestingly, a number of Western intelligence agencies and newspapers have recently claimed that CIA destabilisation “specialists” who were in Chile in 1973, Portugal in 1974 and Mozambique just before it received independence are now in South Africa. Writing in the influential Israeli newspaper, “Ma’ariv”, published in Tel Aviv, commentator Daniel Drooz said: Their appearance in South Africa at this time is not coincidental. It Is a warning that the American ‘nutcracker ’ is applying pressure, that the US ha8 begun an active effort to undermine the South African Government.” 19 <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
