The American millionaires are AFRAID OF PEACE because the "business" in Korea makes golden Profits. On 30.3.1951 the New York Herald Tribune published an article from the Kansas City Star which read: "We would like to give the people at the Stock Market a word of comfort... The Stock Market is of course a verry sensitive establishment... But should it not be possible for the Stock Market to be more steadfast against what's known as "the fear of peace-" A few days ago the Stock Market had one of its worst days... But must the hope of peace or peace itself, if it were to come, be such a terrible thing that the Stock Market is panicked into unloading shares-... The Stock Market or those who control it should be in a position to balance out the Situation so that even if it came to the worst and we had peace in Korea, we could comfort ourselves in the knowledge that a war is looming in some other place." War is the business of the American millionaires! Today Korea - tomorrow it's supposed to be Germany. The peoples of the world will obtain peace by force! They demand, along with all Germans: An end to American murder"! Away with "German" accomplices!

We do not want war between brothers in Germany!/We demand the convening of an all-German conference! In a speech in Hamburg, Churchills nephew, the English MP Duncan Sandys called for Germans to become cannon fodder and West Germany to be used as the arena for the American war. He said: This means that Germany would inevitably become one of the Allies' main bombing targets!

Let them send their young people to their deaths so that we don't haue to send ours... The atom fit bomb lets the United Sates do that. In the week following the beginning of a conflict we must bomb Moscow and all the other Russian Cities using aircraft based an the European continent."/ We don't want to be the cannon fodder of the American millionaires.

Work and fight for peace. Our's is the right way OTTO GROTEWOHL AT THE THIRD SED PARTY CONGRESS: The German nation, restricted in its national development and threatened by the risk of a new war with new deprivations and sufferings, is an the move. The National Front is entering a new phase of its struggle: what started as a period of simple national protest, developed in the second period into national self-help, moving an today in this third phase of the struggle to the task of generating national resistance in the face of the divisive colonial and military policy of the Anglo-American imperialists and their German stooges

If you don't want to be in the Yankees' pay, don't tune in to RIAS today!
"Using jazz music and fake 'sounds of home' RIAS slyly entices him to tune in. In no time it has the stupid man it its grasp (and CIC plans 'further use'). And he takes the bait, first dance music - it started harmlessly -then he believes what RIAS promised, and he's caught in the web the yankees have spun. First: Let's just see what's on RIAS. Then: CIC soon has him brainwashed and uses him as a saboteur, threatening what belongs to him and us. But it's no more than a wish; our people are an their guard. The bridges, pits and factories are protected. Stop the reconstruction- No easy thing - It's already firmly in place, a symbol of the people's strength. And now act two: the horror stories! Here too, Rias tries to stir things up in its stupid and fatuous way, broadcasting so many trumped-up escape stories that the fool already has his case packed.
But 'over there' there's no more chance of earning. He sleeps an straw (which fills his head). - He's already moaning, and then --- all the bees! Oh yes, and the food - he's never full. This health cure soon makes him soff. And if he doesn't become a soldier serving the Wall Street throne, the fool is simply told: the only thing left to you now is the Foreign Legion.
The bitter end we See pictured here; but the liars in Rias say nothing about that! If you believe the words of this guild of liars, you'll bite the dust for them as well.
Each sentence the Rias speaker utters contains the word 'freedom' three times. But it's clear that only war criminals walk out of the prison gate.
'Rias freedom' is meant for those who are accustomed to creaming off the best. Krupp is free, Schacht is free, those who plan new wars are free. What the Rias yanks call 'real freedom' and what they treacherously have in store for Germany is apparent to anyone looking at Korea, where women and children are slaughtered. But Rias' days are already numbered; even our homeland over there is liberating itself. The yankee plague-carriers fly a wide arc - and that will put an end to Rias as well".
