have a couple of "kids" around to
keep me from being lonely at such

bitter sweet memory
cold war Criminals
Since WWII there's been a LOT
of "to-do" about trying war criminals
Sooner or later, all surviving Nazi
leaders were supposed to be punished
But. what about 'Cold War"
criminals' Is it okay for them to "get
away with murder '' Apparently so.
the way they've been welcomed into
the international community since the
so-called "demise" of Communism
I always hate to be HARD on
people. But it seems ironic tome that
we keep finding ourselves in a position
where we are COMPELLED to come
to the aid of ruthless rulers who have
mistreated their own people and
apparently, in many cases, set out to
deliberately destroy OUR society as
well. This seems to be the case with
communist Cuba
The way I see it tat this point i
"Chairman Mao" and his
' Comrades'' secretly set out to hook
our soldiers on heroin while they were
fighting in Vietnam. AndCastro. along
with communist "Comrades like
Khrushchev. secretly set out as earl
as the sixties to get and keep a huge
supply of cocaine flowing into the
United States, in order to hook our
voung people, and anyone else they
could snare" Apparently, their
ourpose was to create all kinds of
problems, including an increase in
crime, in order to break our societv
down
I My current ideas about all ot this
are based mostly on the book. RED
COCAINE ?THE DRUGGING OF
AMERICA But there have been man \
earlier reports of communist
manipulation through the use of
DRUGS ?What a PERFECT wav to
destroy a nation'

W HAT ABOUT CHINA?
Even if Moacow has stopped
subsidizing the Cuban economy, how
about China? At this point. with the
mixture of capitalism and sociali?
in its economy: that "hard-line"
Chinese C ommimut government may
be in a GREAT position to KEEP
Castro hanging on as Cuba s dictator,
with a core of devoted followers true
to Marx and Lenin China COULD
also be planning to give support to
Castro s Latin American
comrades \ like the Maoist
Shining Path" (still going strong in
Peru). Marxist" Nicaragua, for
YEARS to come
Here we ate. getting ready once
again to build mote prisons because of
an overwhelming crime problem
largely related to drags shipped in
from other countries. And. here we
are. once again, propping Castro and
