"Attempt to rebuild broken bridges - on the truth!" Myers wrote it after
reading an English translation of my "Letter to Russian Comrades" about the ISWoR's role in the Committee of Workers Solidarity with Chechnya. I quote only the most relevant parts of this strange lurid document, in which the leader of ISWoR acknowledges the results of my investigation.
Vladimir,
I have just read your piece from 31st Jan, that you put out in
<snip>
You were far more to the right in this war than even the the RKRP, who
opposed the racism of Putin in this war, who blamed the apartment bombings
on
Putin, who exposed the Berezovsky/Basayev stitch-up, and declared the
war was
about protecting Yeltsin, promoting Putin's career, and defending the
pro-Kremlin oligarch's.
Now the war is over, the idiocy of this infighting between you and us
has to
stop! We all owe it to the Russian workers movement - indeed - the
question
is whether it survives and flourishes, or is smothered under the coming
attempt at some form of dictatorship by Putin. Did you know Malyarov
has now
joined Putin, and is establishing his Unity Youth movement, because
"Putin is
a strong leader - just what Russia needs." And Putin now brings the
military
political wing under direct FSB control - covering his back as he is
preparing for an onslaught on workers organisations, as Shein is rightly
predicting. Except Shein gives Putin 12-18 months - and I think Putin
will
move a lot quicker.
In this context we have no choice, not if we are sincere Marxists, but
to
work together. I have already sent an Attachment regarding an exchange
between me and Ben S. to you. This stupid and backward fight that is
going on
should not be happening at all - it is wasting tremendous amounts of
valuable
time - especially yours - and it has hurt you far more than us!
Lisa and I have long considered that Eric Lee and Kuzio are in fact
far worse
than than the Hoare's, Osborne's and such - who are dupes of capital
-
whereas Lee and Kuzio are directly paid agents of capital - and Lee
is the
most dangerous character - we think. We have been gathering info on
Lee for
ages - preparing.
did you know there are all sorts of links between Lee and Osborne going
back
years?
ISWoR is proud to have confronted and exposed the shenanigans of the
SWP and
AWL - and their "softness" on the west - including that of ex-ISWoR
supporter
[now oppositionist] Caroline Ford.
We have a choice. I do not want to spend hellish wasteful time rebutting
each
and every argument you make, and all the silly mistakes too, which
are
numerous - but then also get them tranlsated and spread all over the
place in
Russia. In fact if forced, and we answer every factual error of your
31st Jan
doc alone, it will make you look really uninformed, grasping at straws
- but
the reality is that you were actually attacking the correct people
in that
doc, "and this matters", but also you attacked us by association.
We will do this if it is necessary, but I personally do not want to.
As you
have no influence at all now through Stachkom-Inter - reaching people
around
the world - except for the odd ultra-stalinist; so it can be within
Russia too.
<and now Meyers attempts to blackmail me>
I do not want to spend time attacking you. We have not used the extremely
personal messages you sent us about your background, etc, against
you, just
your wrong position on this war. For all intents, the war is now
over.
<For these imperialist "defenders" of Chechen separatists the
war in Chechnya
was "over" as early as in March of 2000, i.e., exactly when the
Western propaganda war against Russia switched to a low gear>.
<And now, fearing he was giving me too long a carrot, Myers tries to intimidate me again. Below he refers to a set of Indonesian IP addresses subscribed to my list stachkom-inter@yahoogroups.com>
Nor does S-I have that weird [state spies?]
dozen addresses with numbers for
e-mail addresses that you have at the top
of S-I members list. Can you=20
explain this BTW?
For us to work together, you must now realise that ISWoR, Lisa and I, are
not
stooges of imperialism, nor their agents in the workers movement, but in
fact, highly principled opponents of such reactionary forces. I understand
a
certain twisted logic in your assessment, by simplistic association, of
what
was going on, but you were wrong. Not wrong about Lee, Osborne, etc; but
wrong about us!
