Reflections By Alta Nye Oxen dine I CARE ABOUT PEOPLE For those who do not know me, 1 may appear to have become a callous "anti-Communist" with nothing better to do with my time than to go around attacking Communists. But those who know me well realize that I am in this world to HELP, (not hurt) anyone and everyone whom(with my limited resources) I possibly can. NOT MY FIRST CHOICE OF TOPICS I would never have dreamed, a few years ago, that 1 would one day find myself spending hour upon hour studying, and then at tempting to share what I've learn ed about a subject such as Com munism. Not until 1 was nearly 60 did I begin taking seriously the probablity that the Communist movement was begun with the United States in mind, along with the rest of the world. At First I found such a pro spect so frightening that I became paralyzed emotionally, totally unable to relax. Two and a half months in Montana mother brought healing. Since then, the more I've studied and observed, the better able I've been to appreciate the pull and fascination which Com munish's belief system and com prehensive lifestyle hold for so many persons and groups around the world. I've come to unders tand a lot about the man, Lenin, who appears to some of us to be Mikhail Gorbachev's hero, as well as his mentor. As I've men tioned before, Vladimir I. Ulianov took his older brother's revolutionary name, Lenin, after Alexander, who had been his hero, was executed by the regime of their Russian czar, for merely plotting assassination. GORBACHEV--AN ENIGMA Now I'm trying to understand Mikhail Gorbachev, l or what are likely a number of different reasons (perhaps some of a per sonal nature) Gorbachev seems to be rejecting the atrocities com mitted by Josef Stalin, one after another. Over and over, however, Gor bachev has been quoted as in sisting that he is not rejecting Communism(Marxism-Leninism) just reforming it, taking it back to its purer beginnings. And it must be clear by now that Gor bachev is a Pragmatist, likely the most realistic Communist leader since Lenin, and in many ways even more flexible. IS COMMUNISM DEAD? ~ tTLe his predecessors, however, Mikhail Gorbachev is still relying on the Soviet "Secret Political Police," originally call ed the Cheka, now simply refer red to as the KGB. (Although 1 have not yet been able to check this out, 1 am sure 1 heard a Jewish man who had been allowed to leave Russia remark in a TV interview shortly before the Malta Summit that he was not sure of Gorbachev's real intentions, that Gorbachev had served as the number two man under Andropov in the KGB. 1 was aware that Andropov, who was the Soviet Premiere im mediately before Gorbachev, had been head fo the KGB. Never before or since have I heard this statement about Gorbachev.) In any case, the last news I heard about the situation involv ing Lithuania was that this liny country trying to establish its in dependence had been encircled by the KGB. Let's keep our eyes and ears open. Is Communism already dead? I GRAHAM I I Clerk of I |__Court_| DOLLAR" } BILL For County Coroner mn HflAlSflMMI ^ESi mmmmmmm il ^ ^L ? ^p H W ^b k ? ^B ?
