ZIONISTS GAS PALESTINIANS TO DEATH

Amnesty International reported that Israeli troops shot tear 
gas into Palestinian homes and hospitals causing 60 deaths 
during 1988.  A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister 
Yitzhak Shamir denied the alligations, but no evidence was 
provided. (New York Times, 2/1/89)



AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KNOMEINI CHOOSES CAPITALIST FINANCE

"The decision to revive barrowing from foreign banks and 
governments, other [Iranian] officals acknowledged, is a major 
change in the policies of the regime of Khomeini, which had 
banned such laons in the years since the overthrow of the 
Shah" (NYT 2/3/89, p.1)

Khomeini realized that borrowing from foreign countries, 
particularly the superpowers, was a grave threat to Iranian 
independence in there stand against the bilateral world.  
Going back on this shows how difficult it is to resist the 
capitalist system.  Autarky frequently fails due to superpower 
agression which forces vast expenditure on arms which 
devistates the domestic economy of Third World nations.

BLOW AWAY REALITY

With a 100 percent kill rate hunters have already exterminated 
16 percent of the buffalo population in the Yellowstone park: 
422 have been shot and  National Park game wardens are willing 
to allow one quarter of the population to be exterminated (NYT 
2/22/89, p.1)

There is no sport in shooting an endangered relative to the 
cow.  Its like shooting your dog, or easier that shooting your 
grandmother.  Another case of anything for a buck for the 
state of Montana.  MCø says shoot a park ranger the next time 
you go out.
