Quispe's rotten bloc: A sample

[Maoist Internationalist Movement <mim3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Below is a sample of Quispe's work. I post it because some like Malecki
and others new to the issue are still trying to claim that Adolfo Olaechea is
part of a "rotten bloc."  In actuality, there is nothing in AO's bloc that
wasn't in Quispe's bloc, as the post below shows. On the other hand,
Quispe has recently added ultra-Trotskyist Malecki and openly pro-peace
accords Burford. That is pretty much the line up that the RCP-
USA/RIM/IEC has arranged internationally. It's no accident. The fact that
Quispe adds Burford to his bloc reveals again his sudden turncoat nature,
the mark of a party-hopping cop.

As time goes on, Quispe's bloc seeks to change the subject. Some who
were quiet while the central issues were being fought out now speak for
Quispe. First we had the Jesuitic questions asked to divert the struggle and
blunt the impact of a harsh struggle by our middle-class standards on
INTERNET--the uncovering of a three-year old police plot. Now we have
people answering the simpler questions, because those are the only ones
they can handle. They don't care whether the PCP gets to speak unimpeded
by its genuine representatives. They only care if the alleged PCP
representatives sound like themselves politically, regardless of whether they
are cops or not.

The real question is which is the genuine representative of the revolution in
Peru, AO or Quispe? The question is why does Quispe fabricate
documents? The question is why does Quispe set up rotten blocs that the
PCP never did? Burford is trying to read the tea leaves from the PCP-CC
of today, but he passes over the question of Quispe's authenticity.

I ask again, when did the PCP ever set up a rotten bloc including the likes
of IU and the CP-USA's counterpart in Peru? The answer is never. And if
Quispe set one up here where is his explanation for his theoretical
departure from PCP line? The answer is that there is none offered. He just
did it because it was a cheap and efficient way to gather intelligence.

Notice in the post below he drops the pretense of speaking of the "rank-
and-file" from the neo-Trotskyist Workers World Party and the revisionist
CPUSA. He just outright counts them as endorsers and mushes them
together in public with MIM's name without MIM's permission. No such
bloc was ever created by the PCP in Peru. So the question for the Burfords
and others confused by Quispe's latest mask--why did Quispe do it, if it is
not genuine PCP line? Burford is trying to ask where the PCP-CC support
is for the WMC: well this question has been around much longer for the
PCP-CC to answer publicly and clearly: when did the PCP-CC ever back
Quispe's approach below? The answer is never. The answer is that AO's
critics don't hold themselves to the same standards they hold AO to,
because in reality they have no line at all, just the cops', cyberLiberals' and
ultra-Trotskyists' desire to cause havoc in the revolutionary forces.
(For this reason, it does seem to be a good idea to get off this list for a
while.)

There are those lobbying the PCP-CC to adopt the policy below. And
everyone is free to think that the policy below is a good thing of "uniting all
the Left" or whatever, but it isn't PCP policy, and hasn't been for more than
16 years. That is the question--not what the reader wants politically him or
herself, but what the PCP wants. That is the only way to evaluate this
question. Quispe claims to represent the PCP faithfully. He must now be
judged on that claim.

For those new to this, I'd also advise the following: None of the main
participants in the pro-Quispe bloc has done any serious investigation. 1.
Chris Burford--he makes accusations against AO that he could check
himself in London, but he does not. He also could have asked MIM for
documents relating to fabrication of Quispe's, but he did not. He is not
serious. 2. Malecki--He was never a supporter of the People's War in Peru.
He is interested in this issue only to cause havoc in the "Stalinist" bloc.
Malecki didn't ask MIM for any documents. He is not serious. 3. Gina--
Gina opposes "casting out" enemies, which is fine for her own line as long
as she doesn't call it Maoist. Like it or not, the PCP line is to "cast out"
enemies. Gina has not asked MIM for documents. She is not serious either.
All these people talk and talk about things without investigating them;
combined, Quispe's supporters have had less contact with Quispe than
MIM has.

            IN THE EYES OF THE SINISTER REGIME ALL PERUVIANS
                             ARE SUSPECTS

 Two courageous American lawyers, Leonard Weinglass
and Peter Erlinder, are demanding a resolution from the OAS's
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (ICHR) against the army-run
Fujimori government. Three petitions were originally filed by the
Peruvian Association of Democratic Lawyers (case No. 11.015.) The
complaint demands that the ICHR adopt measures to protect the lives
of more than 2,400 political prisoners secluded in inhuman conditions
in Peruvian jails, and especially to defend the life of Dr. Manuel
Abimael Guzma'n (also a lawyer), the world's most famous political
leader prisoner as well as an undisputed leader of millions of
Peruvians. It demands that the regime comply with international
agreements regarding the fair treatment of political prisoners, and
to cease the persecution, detention, disappearances and murders of
lawyers representing them. It is public knowledge that the Fujimori
regime is guilty of atrocious genocides. One example is the May
1993 army assault on the jail of Cantogrande where 100 political
prisoners were assassinated. It demands the release from isolation of
Dr. Alfredo Crespo (Guzman's lawyer), Dr. Jorge Cartagena, and Dr.
Martha Huatay, and that the government be held responsible for the
illegal treatment of lawyers who defend political prisoners.

The government cannot politically and militarily defeat the
opposition led by the Communist Party of Peru (PCP) that has a vast
influence in the country, so as part of a psychosocial warfare, the
army is engaged in wholesale torture and murder of innocent people.
For instance, its current "final offensive" in the Huallaga area
where the guerrillas were able to ambush them and easily break the
military encirclement. In retaliation, army helicopter gunships have
strafed civilian hamlets located near the Huallaga River and more
than 100 bodies of mainly women and children were dumped by soldiers
into the river. Even Peru's National Human Rights Coordinating
Committee has cited charges of rape, torture and burning of houses by
the genocidal army. All access to the zone has been denied to
observers, including the International Red Cross.  For this reason,
Amnesty International (AI) presence in monitoring on-site events has
been null in Peru.  The conditions imposed by the regime upon Rights
organizations are humiliating. The regime demands that if they want
to report some "undemocratic excesses" of the government, AI or other
National Right group must first denounce the rebels as "human rights
violators" of course with unverified information provided by the army
or its pack of senderologists (Carlos Tapia, Degregori, Raul Gonzales).
In other words, the army wants AI and Peru's Roght groups to be involved
in its psychological campaign against the people.

Just recently, the Commission on Human rights of the New York
Bar Association (the same group that organized a party in honor of
the tyrant at the Waldorf Astoria hotel on October, 1993) sent a
delegation to Peru.  They were demeaned and discredited by government
officials and the government controlled media. They were
accused of "interfering in internal affairs." That cynical excuse by
the reactionaries in Peru contradicts the huge military, economic,
and intelligence aid of U.S. imperialism to the Fujimori regime,
(isn't that an outright interference in our internal affairs?)
Without the U.S. aid, the people led by the PCP would topple the
government in less than 48 hours.

The campaign of murder by Fujimori's army is as vicious as ever,
especially after the U.S. State Department has recently given
them the green light by issuing its well known key word: "progress in
human rights." The excuse of "war on drugs" in the Huallaga is not
there anymore. The DEA has finally concluded that high ranking
army generals supposedly conducting the counter-subversive war are
deeply involved in cocaine trafficking. It is clear that the U.S. was
not conducting high tech surveillance on their Peruvian partners (the
army) but they were targeting the rebels.

Except for the liberated areas under PCP control or influence, in
Peru there is no recourse to any authority, other than the security
forces, who are precisely the ones responsible for the crimes
inflicted upon the people. The curfews, demolition and burning of
homes by army soldiers is happening not only in occupied Palestine,
it is more frequent in Peru. The people are unsafe at home. At
any moment they can be subjected to midnight searches, during which
entire households, mainly women and children, are raped and
beaten. Arrests during such operations are common. The staged
scenarios to justify these atrocities are already in place: These
were "terrorist" homes, top PCP leaders were arrested there or they
are the killers of "Mother Courage." Attorney General Nelida Cola'n
(Fujimori's most vicious "public defender") quickly the "facts" and
cover-up the crimes, so everything is "legal" for the security forces,
and they will be ready for the next crime.

The entire country now lies in wait for the PCP's strategic
offensive so they can have a chance to rise up and avenge the
genocides. And this historical moment may come sooner than expected.
The government is pushing towards an inevitable uprising. The longer
they resist the people's desire for revolution, the more overwhelming
the results will be. The economy is in deep trouble (the "privatization"
of decrepit state enterprises is purely a show), the industrial growth
is negative and unemployment has reached record levels. Hunger and
starvation are rampant. What "achievement" can Fujimori claim? For
most Peruvians it is only one: Peru is now one of the world's top
countries in spread of tuberculosis and cholera. The heroic people of
Peru have nothing to lose by joining the People's War but their chains.
For them, it is better to die fighting against the oppressor than
starve to death.

It is a shame that the "free press" in the U.S. has been reporting
only the government's version of events; and that is the main reason
why the `New Flag'exists and it will continue to exist, to bring you
alternative news, the other side of the story.  The people's side.

Your response to our printed articles has been great, and we hope you
will continue to enjoy every issue.  We'd like to hear your comments
and suggestions and also encourage you to get involved by writing
articles.  We have a saying in Peru: "never leave the open field to
the reactionaries" (no dejaremos la cancha libre a los reaccionarios.)
