To all opponents of imperialism
One of the worst things that could befall an anti-imperialist activist is to be hurt, murdered or in the case of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro of Cuba, be ousted from power through an overt attack by the US and its minions.
But nothing could be worse than to be deceived and misled by the sugar-coated words of those who pose as anti-imperialist but are venomous serpents in reality.
These vipers can be found everywhere nowadays. They are behind, and often also at the fore, of various international organizations and forums that make a show of criticizing imperialist globalization but whose real intention is to derail the world's peoples from the progressive and revolutionary path and to ensure that the imperialists continue to live it up.
They go around the globe spreading their deceitful message, with funding from the Ford Foundation and other imperialist institutions.
The World Social Forum and the Focus on the Global South are leading examples of such forums. Walden Bello is among the leaders of these two organizations, among others. Standing for nothing but reforms in the imperialist system, Bello is introduced in these forums as "the leading spokesperson against globalization."
Bello uses his international connections to attack the progressive, national-democratic and anti-imperialist mass organizations in the Philippines. Like the military, he accuses the Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) and the Ibon Foundation of being fronts of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).
This forms part of his campaign to malign, divide and weaken the anti-imperialist movement in the Philippines. He particularly attacks the CPP and Comrade Jose Maria Sison, spreading the lie throughout the world that the CPP-NPA which he has branded as "fascist" is out to liquidate him.
It is but imperative to remind all forces that genuinely stand against imperialist "globalization" to thwart Bello's campaign to sow intrigue and divide the international ant-imperialist front.
In the face of imperialism's relentless attacks on the world's peoples, it is of utmost importance to expand and consolidate the efforts of genuine and sincere progressive and revolutionary forces worldwide into one international anti-imperialist front. These efforts must include collective vigilance among our ranks against the likes of those who peddle divisiveness like Walden Bello.
