Revolutionary greetings,

My name is X, and I am currently being held 
captive on Death Row here in Texas. I have been 
here since 1995 and I hope to have at least a few 
more years left. I am writing to you now to 
request a free subscription to MIM Notes. I am 
attempting to educate others around here in 
prisoner activism and remove some of the 
resignation and "woe is me" that resides here. Any 
support I can get in that struggle is greatly 
apprecitaed. Thank you for your time and 
assistance in this matter.

--A Texas Prisoner September 2001

MIM responds: We print this letter partly to 
encourage those who feel helpless in the face of 
the magnitude of our fight against imperialism and 
for a new society free from oppression. The task 
before us is indeed great, but our sense of 
justice and love for the people is itself a reason 
to live and struggle. We also want to stress to 
our readers not locked up in prison that it is 
very expensive for MIM to send in MIM Notes and 
other revolutionary literature to prisoners every 
month. We need your financial support to continue 
this program.

The sky is falling

The sky probably indeed seemed to be falling on 
the people of Manhattan, NY as freedom fighters 
commandeered commercial airlines and crashed the 
planes into the WTC building 1 and 2, 
affectionately called the Twin Towers. September 
11, 2001 will go down in history as the day 
imperialism had to grind to a halt and evaluate 
itself -- something it has never done, nor been 
made to do. As the planes crashed into these 
towers with precision, the united $nakes had to 
brace itself as the towers did, and fell. The 
ubiquitous question in the settlers land was who 
did this, and most importantly: Why? Before a 
serious effort was made to save one of the 
capitalists who use the towers as their command 
center in their proxy war, the first question was 
answered: Osama bin Laden, or any of the other 
"Islamic Extremists." In fact, based on euro-
settler perspectives, all non-whites are guilty of 
this dastardly act. However, the pseudo-
intellectuals had to come up with the answer to 
the second half of the equation: Why? This answer 
has proven to be very elusive. At best, the U$ can 
only speculate and guess. Some of the theories 
(hint: I don't know) circulating say Osama is 
seeking revenge for the U$ being stationed in 
Saudi Arabia. Some say it was for the U$ support 
of the euro-settler state occupying Palestine 
(misnomered Israel). Some say it's for the bombing 
campaign (i.e. imperialism) in Iraq. Some say it's 
for bombing Libya in 1986. Some say it's for the 
bombing in Bosnia. Some say it's for the bombing 
in the Sudan, Afghanistan, etc. etc. No matter 
which theory is correct, any of them could be the 
reason. Do you see a recurring theme here? 
Imperialism/capitalism has given the world a 
million reasons to lash back and remove this ugly 
sore from the face of the earth. Imperialism is 
the reason! Until it is gone, there will be more 
opportunities to give reason to this reason, i.e. 
more violence. The ultra-liberal and ultra-
conservative agree, amerikkka is the reason. Can 
any good be gotten from this retaliatory action? 
Yes. #1, the oppressed of the world should be able 
to see the U$ is a paper tiger. Anyone can win a 
war if it's fought on their terms. But that isn't 
a war, that's a fight. Wars are meant to eradicate 
the enemy. If you don't want to eradicate him, why 
go to war. That's what diplomats are for. #2. The 
oppressed can see that the U$ is vulnerable as 
everyone else is. We all are humyn, and have like 
passions. Anyone can lose. #3. The bourgeoisie 
should take the time to reflect what brought this 
on, and turn from that path. The common U$ citizen 
should demand more accountability from their 
government. They should analyze to see if the 
world's grievances against euro- hegemony is 
legit, and then address those grievances. Damn the 
get tough speeches, and the prepare your daughters 
and sons for dying speeches. Scientific analysis 
should occur, and the voice of the oppressed 
should prevail, both within the artificial U$ 
borders and outside. Until the voice of the 
oppressed is heard, the sky will continue to fall!
