The "Bulgaria-KBP plot" account of why Pope John Paul II was shot on May 13, 1981 by a young Turk... more The "Bulgaria-KBP plot" account of why Pope John Paul II was shot on May 13, 1981 by a young Turkish assailant has dominated discussion in the U.S. media since Claire Sterling's article in The Readers Digest of September 1982 and Marvin Kalb's NBC television special of September 15 of the same year. Yet a very little research is more that enough to show that the evidence points not towards the Soviets but in quite the opposite direction. On November 26, 1979 Mehmet Ali Acga, the confessed murderer of a newspaper editor, escaped from a Turkish prison. A letter published among the exhibits of the Istanbul trial of 200 members of the National Action Party (NAP), of whose military "Grey Wolves" wing Acga has long been a member, shows that Acga undertook this murder at the behest of the NAP's founder, Col. Arpaslan Turkes. The day after his "escape" (in fact Acga was simply released by NAP contacts among the police) the Turkish paper Milliyet published a threat by Acga to kill the Pope as "an agent of Russian and U.S. imperialism." After the shooting Acga at first denied his fascist NAP ties and said he was a "Palestinian communist comrade." Acga shot the Pope from the midst of a huge crowd; he knew, therefore, that he would be caught. His letter, and his masquerading as a Palestinian, suggest that he had been told to implicate the Soviet bloc. But by whom? Eight days after the Pope was shot Cedar Celebi, head of the NAP in West Germany, held a new conference in which he blamed the Soviet Union for the shooting. Next day the NAP newspaper Tercuman published the new "Soviet plot" theory. Arrested in West Germany on November 1, 1982, Celebi is now in an Italian prison charged with giving Acga money and weapons to kill the Pope.

Billions of workers all over the world are exploited, murdered, tortured, oppressed by capitalism... more Billions of workers all over the world are exploited, murdered, tortured, oppressed by capitalism. The greatest historical events in the twentieth century-in fact, in all of human history-have been the overthrow of capitalism and establishment of societies run by and for the working class in the two great communist revolutions in Russia and China.
Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin (1888-1938) remains one of the most puzzling figures of Soviet history... more Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin (1888-1938) remains one of the most puzzling figures of Soviet history. Although his rehabilitation took place in 1988 to this day not a single piece of historical evidence supporting this verdict has ever been published. All the documents published during the period of the "Bukharin Boom" of the 1990s in one way or another touch on the question of the accusations against him. But only in a single case-his letter to Joseph Stalin of December 10, 1937-did Bukharin utter a determined "Not Guilty" to the crimes of which he was accused. All the remaining documents, including other letters of his, provide evidence supporting the opposite conclusion.
