You got it wrong. Governments can change, leaders can change, but what
the peruvian revolutionaries are seeking is the total destruction of the
State that does not serve the people. The PCP has never killed people for
holding different views, as a matter of fact, religious groups and
members of the bourgeois parties are simpatetic to our struggle. FYI.
The PCP respect the interests of the national bourgeoisie. You are
misinformed by the reactionary main stream press on Peru. Remenber Lenin
lived in Germany, Ho-Chi Min in France, Castro in Mexico, I do not claim
to be like them, I am a man of the toiling masses who feels the misery and
poverty of my people and the need and right they have to liberate themselves
with arms in their hands.

What use my people had from that economy in more than 150 years of
republican life. Only chains in their hands, feudalism, subservent
condition, malnutrition. That is our history. Tyrant Fujimori claims
that the economy is booming, at the same time the living expenses
continue increasing, just in the 4 last months gasoline prices went up
26%, all to pay the debt on-time to Wall Street banks. The economy
is wholy controlled by the big bourgeossie and the landowners. If the
People's War hit their property what do we care, their existance or not
existance make no difference to them. They don't even provide jobs
anylinger, to the contrary there are massive firing of workers.

We hope this murderous regime collapse. Its only support is the Armed
Forces that as you may know is deeply involved in the drugs business.
Soon, the PCP will launch the strategic offensive seizing the cities and
will be the end of this undertaking, hope this can be done before the end
of the Century. A New Power, a new State is being built in Peru, quitly and
slowly in the countryside, in the guethos, in the sahntytowns, those who are
in the bottom today (the most) will be the ones who have power in the future.

TRUE. The poor (80-90% of Peru) are the supporters of the revolution.
No more petty thefts of property and freedom are necessary. They have
nothing, but now they have the People's War to conquer everything, and
they are doing with their mighty hands during 16 years of glorious
People's War teaching the entire world the way to follow to a real
emancipation.

Partially true. There are experiences to learn: the former Soviet
Union and China. They tried but sucumbed very young, less than
60 years of socialist construction. At the same they show the
advantages of socialism, how th people living standards raised so
quickly. The URSS from a backward country a superpower, China in
a power. The return of capitalism in the former URSS was with
Krustchev and in China with Teng. In Peru Gonzalo, the President of
the the New Power and the architect of the revolution has study
carefully the capitalist restoration and saw the need of the
class struggle even the PCP triumphs until Communism.

That is the wealthy areas where the handful of thieves of the big
bourgeossie live. No in most Peru, the real Peru.

The same story of the exploiters. Sacrifice today for tomorrow.
They did it with my grandfathers, with my parents, now with us the
new generation. To each agression of Fujimori sucha as the last
increase in cost of gasoline, my people respond it with more People's
War. More revolution. Hit hard the imperialists, smash the
reactionaries, clean the pus and the rotten, build the new.

So that the exploiters of always can suck the blood of Peruvians free of
People's War. So our country can be sell out free of People's War
to imperialism. So the workers can be massively put on the street
without any benefits, so most of the country can suffer hunger and
starvation. TB and Cholera will continue to reign and our
natural resources will be plunder even more by the multinationals.
NO WAY!! PCP: SMASH THE IMPERIALISTS, HIT THEM HARD, YANKEE GO HOME.

THAT IS WHAT U.S. IMPERIALISM AND ITS PUPPET FUJIMORI SAY. TODAY
30% OF THE COUNTRY IS LIBERATED, THE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES ARE
SOLVING THE REAL PROBLEMS CAUSED BY FEUDALISM AND SEMI-COLONIALISM.
THE LEADERS OF THE PCP AE THE BEST CHILDREN OF OUR PEOPLE, THOSE
WHO GIVE UP THEIR BLOOD AND LIVES SO THAT SOME TIME IN THE NEAR
FUTURE OUR OWN CHILDREN WILL LIVE BETTER, WITHOUT THE BLOODY
EXPLOITATION OF IMPERIALISM, W/O THE BLOOD SUCKERS IMF, WORLD BANK, ETC.

THAT IS LIKE A FOAM OF "CERVEZA CUZQUENA." A BALLOON THAT WILL BLOW UP
INTO PIECES. IT IS ARTIFICIAL, IT IS BASED ON SELLING OUT OUR
STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES TO IMPERIALISM, IT IS THE NARCO DOLLARS, IT IS
YANKEE FOREIGN AID. THEY WON'T LADT MUCH. THE PEOPLE'S WAR WILL
SHATTER THEM. JUST LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO SHELL-MOBIL.

  Peru banks are outperforming most of the banks

Increasing recession, keeping the dollar artificially low, to
lure foreign investment. Few more hits by the People's War,
good by "booming", "adios Tourism", they will need legs to run away in
panic.

  This grow requires both funds in

THer is no confidence in a murderous regime that has 7,500 political
prisoners, that control the cities with terror of the death squads and
paramilitary. There is no confidence, not even from its master Clinton.

Good. Your heart should be with most Peruvians who want revolution.
Those who want a People's Republic of Peru. It will improve once
the PCP seize power, you shall see it.

 Elimination of the
> people's war can help to improve this situation.
Elimination of imperialism and its puppet regime and the genocidal armed
forces that sustain it, will.
