Isolate Our Enemies: Agents Exposed

By VVAW

Two ex-members of VVAW/WSO in Milwaukee confessed to being paid informants for the FBI. Linda Imacus and Tony Tochalowski worked for the FBI since, at least, January of 1975.

Despite attempts to destroy VVAW/WSO and the growing veterans' movements, the FBI and other police agencies have failed to stop us. The Milwaukee chapter has continued to build and has been making great strides forward.

When the exposure of these two police agents occurred, the chapter used the incident to further expose the role of such people as enemies of all working people. The chapter printed up a warning poster explaining what these people were doing, and how no one in the community should have anything to do with such traitors. The posters were distributed around the city and alerted people in Milwaukee to Tochalowski and Imacus and should they again try to pose as ?friends' of the American people while they are working as servant of the ruling class.

In the past there has been a long line of similar riff-raff that have been run into the struggle by every imaginable civilian and military police agency. The fact is that police agencies, like the FBI, have to try to destroy groups like VVAW/WSO because the veterans' movement and the larger movement of all working people is on the rise in the Us. And as we gain in numbers and strength, the rulers of this country will become more desperate in their attempts to try to stop us from getting together.

We cannot make the mistake of saying, "Well, these are just some mixed up people who don't know what they are doing. They don't really mean to hurt us." The fact is they are dangerous people. They must be exposed and treated for what they are -- our enemies. They must be exposed and utterly isolated from our everyday lives.

But no matter how many of these characters the government tries to slide into our struggle, we know that they are going to fail in their attempt to destroy us and our struggle. They can't stop us from growing. Our best defense is our unity and determination to fight back against our oppression.

BUILD OUR UNITY
