What follows was kindly translated from Portuguese by Edward George. ------- Forwarded message follows -------
The incredible text which follows was distributed in leaflet form in the city of São Gabriel, in the Rio Grande Do Sul. The text of the leaflet, which displays a strong fascist slant, was a reaction on the part of the large estate owners of the region to a march organised by militants of the MST in the city. We call for it to be denounced, as it encourages crimes and violence against the families of the Landless Rural Workers. The legal section of the MST is taking action against authors of the leaflet with the federal authorities on the grounds that the text amounts to an incitement to genocide. The RS legislative assembly is also going to conduct an investigation. But it is a sorry example of what the landowners’ madness leads to. National Secretariat MST GABRIELENSES SAY NO TO THE INVASION AND ITS SUPPORTERS People of São Gabriel: do not let your city, so well cared for so many years, be stained by the dirty and deformed feet of human scum. São Gabriel, which never coexisted with misery, will now have to shelter the worst of what exists in the heart of society. We do not deserve that this rotten mass, manipulated by half a dozen cowards who hide behind stars on their chests, should come to bring robbery, violence, rape, and death. These rats need to be exterminated. It will hurt, but strength is the cure for deadly diseases. Blood must run so that we can show our courage. If you want peace, prepare for war, so that we may show the world that there is no place in São Gabriel for these unemployed. Here we have order, and diligent and productive people. Our city is one of opportunity for whoever wants to produce, and has nothing to offer for drunks, scum, vagabonds and beggars. If you, fellow Gabrielense, have an agricultural plane, spray at night 100 litres of gasoline over the rats’ canvas encampment: there will always be a lighted candle to finish the job and eliminate them all. If you, fellow Gabrielense, have land adjoining the encampment, do whatever you can to bathe cattle in their drinking water: poisoned rats will drink more water still. If you, fellow Gabrielense, possess a 22-bore hunting weapon, shoot at the encampment from the inside of your car, from as far away as possible. The bullet will reach its target from a distance of 1200 metres. DOWN WITH THE RATS! LONG LIVE THE GABRIELENSE PEOPLE!
