PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 5, 1981
PAGE 9
U.S. civil rights groups prefer not to see the geopolitical side of the
story, however. Randall Robinson, director of TransAfrica, an anti-South
African lobby in Washington, said that the documents "clear up any re
maining shadow of a doubt that the United States is moving rapidly toward an
open and obvious alliance with military dimensions with South Africa.
"I think it ought to be alarming to the Arnerican people," Robinson con
tinued, "that this country is now clearly on a path toward this kind of
relationship with perhaps the most vicious nation in the world since Nazi
Germany." (It is common for activist groups to denounce Pretoria in hyper
exaggerated Hitlerian hysterics.)
A report financed by the liberal Rockefeller Foundation entitled "South
Africa: Time Running Out," concludes that South Africa's racial policies
"stir special concern because they could eventually lead to a race war that
could have serious ramifications in the United States." It said if open
conflict breaks out between white and black in South Africa--especially if
the Communists should help wage a "war of liberation" against the white
regime--the United States would face difficult questions and the resulting
U.S. national debate "could quickly develop into divisive racial overtones,
damaging to race relations in the United States."
Of cours�, this is exactly the type of disruptive impact that Moscow hopes
would occur in America. This is where the Kremlin keeps funneling aid to
"national liberation" camps around the world through its terror network.
