Report at the broaden general Party’s Military Council
On August 24th 2004
Translated by Thai Nguyen-Khoa
Note: This is a report from the Ministry of Defense for the Party’s Central Military Council on August 24th 2004. This document was sent abroad by Tthe Democratic CircleClub, an underground organization in Vietnam, and was widely diffused disseminated on the Internet. The report is composed of three parts: part one describes “ the conspiracy” of the United States of America, part two reports on “the strategy of peaceful progress evolution of the U.S.A. and other inimical reactionary forces”. These two parts only repeat the all too familiar argument of the communist government. Part three three makesgives an account of democratic alliances. For this reason, The Democratic Club had chosen to diffuse distribute only part three hereafter.
To comprehend understand this document, one must’s gets to know its author, who revealed is none other than the 2nd Directorate. This Directorate is apparently an the head intelligence section within the Ministry of Defense but in fact is an administration that hasve authority over every functions of the government since the Intelligence Decree has been signed into lawn in 1996 and the famous Government Decree n°96-CP in 1997 that Vo Van Kiet has reluctantly signed reluctantly under the pressure of Le Duc Anh. The Directorate n°2 has all the power to exercise its authority over all national domains as well as foreign affairs, whether it is concerned with military affairs or not. During For nearly twenty years, the 2nd Directorate hass been the tools of Le Duc Anh’s faction to dominatekeep the Communist Party in check and to utilize the Party as a control apparatus for the whole country. The 2nd Directorate has allowed itself to take every ferocious and deceptive measure for this purpose. It invented the cases of Nam Chau – Sau Su in 1991 in order to calumniate important officials close to General Vo Nguyen Giap and General Tran Van Tra. During the period of 1996 through 1999, it invented a phony bogus spy with the code name T4 to incriminate almost all high officials of the regime e for having relation with the CIA. Most gravely, the 2nd Directorate is also the culprit behind the brutruthlesse campaign of repression against democracy advocates inside Vietnam. Finally, the 2nd Directorate is the most stubborn and harmful force whto works against democracy. No wonder then if the 2ndDirectorate has been slowly isolated and met with resistance from almost all of the high ranking military officers and communist cadres, who were victims of its exaction or disgusted riled against its power abuse of power.
Since this summer, after the denunciation letter of General Nguyen Nam Khanh, acting as spokesperson for a massive blocklarge number of high-ranking communist officials, communisthe fate of the 2nd Directorate has become uinstable. Several A rising chorus of prominent voices haves elevated condemned, and wishingwant to punish the leaders of Directorate n°2, including Le Duc Anh. General Pham Van Tra, Minister of Defense, formally head of the 2nd Directorate, who is one of the most active subordinates of Le Duc Anh. According to trusted sources, at this broaden general Central Party’s Military Commissioners’ meeting, were present General Vo Nguyen Giap, Le Kha Phieu and Nguyen Nam Khanh were present – there was many others generals, including General Le Van Dung, who categorically criticizattacked namely General Pham Van Tra and summoned demanded him his to resignation.
The problem of leadership will be settled at the approaching coming Tenth Congress of the Communist Party. In this context, the purpose of the following report is to alleviate mitigate the offence of the 2nd Directorate and Le Duc Anh‘s faction. For this reason, it needs to wave the red flag in front of to the members of the Communist Party regarding its own impending danger of collapse, first of allfirst and foremost, members of the Politburo and the Central Committee the menace of their own standing collapsing beforehand if they don’t reconciliate reconcile and make peace with each other, that means meaning they have to leave Directorate n°2 and Le Duc Anh's faction untouched.
The Rally for Democracy and Pluralism has been put forwardused as the ogre and described as a ferocious phenomenon threat to terrify Communist Party members and unchained the to untangle the mess of the 2nd Directorate. Nguyen Thanh Giang, Le Hong Ha and Hoang Minh Chinh inside the country and Nguyen Gia Kieng and Bui Tin outside were described as dangerous adversaries of the regime.
This report also perniciously linked The Rally for Democracy and Pluralism with an organization calling itself “The Council of Revolutionary Members of the Armed Forces Military men of Vietnam”, that which no one ever has heard of before and very likely a fabrication of the 2nd Directorate in the same manner of as for “the spy T4” incident, which purpose is to bend the principle of non-violence of the Rally for Democracy and Pluralism. Rally for Democracy and Pluralism strongly denounce this malevolent amalgam association.
The Rally for Democracy and Pluralism is a menace for to nobodyno one. Instead, it represents the hope for the future in the spirit of reconciliation and concord of for the nation, with a dignified status standing for everybody, including communist members.
Taking advantage of its the superiority on of its economy and military force, the U.S. has increasingly proceed pursued a global strategy at its most radical level, much more intelligent in order to rapidly impose its unique leadership, confirming its status of the only onesole super power in the world.
The Vietnam revolution continues to struggle face against with four kinds of menacesthreats, which are being confirmed in the lthe last Party Congresses. With the aim of abolishing the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and transforming the socialist regime of Vietnam, the U.S. accelerates “peaceful progressdevelopment” activities through conspirationconspiracy, using maneuvers more and more sensitive and Machiavellianc in nature, especially the plot determines to undermine the unity of the Party, using progressive and reactionary forces inside and outside the country, fomenting internal agitations turbulences to speed up changes within our partyranks. Hereafter The following is the report on the situation of international, world its surrounding regionals and inside the country domestic developments during the last time that, which have direct bearing influenced directly on the Security and Defense of Vietnam. Forecast some conspiracies and plans of inimical hostile forces against the government from then now on to the Tenth Congress.
I. Strategic Plan of the U.S.A. concerning the world and the surrounding regions
{...}
II. Strategy of peaceful progress evolution of the U.S.A. and other inimical hostile forces against Vietnam on present daycurrently and forecast for the future.
{...}
III. Inimical forces augment their activities to inciting incite progressive and reactionary groups inside and outside the country attacking the party and theour military armed force, directing their peak thrust toward the Tenth Congress.
Reactionary and progressive bands groups inside and outside the country from in earlier time on had confirmed their policyintents, developing measures and plansschemes, establishing and consolidating its organization, developing propagandist arguments to demolish with utmost determination the Tenth Congress of the Communist Party.
Progressive and reactionary bands groups inside the country
1.1 Their Policy
- On February 22nd 2004, at Nr no. 62 Ngo Quyen Street – Hanoi there was a reunion of some progressive personages of Hanoi with the presence of Hoang Minh Chinh, Hong Ha, Thanh Giang, Hoang Tien ... This meeting developed some actions to take from now until the day of the Tenth Congress.
Their aim is to create anarchism within the Communist Party, social situation boiling in crisis in every aspect where the Party cannot resolve, pressuring the leadership so to divide, to come to the brink of abolishment or to declare its own dissolution.
Their active direction is never to used violence and develops common strength of forces inside and outside the country.
Their measure: Absolutely secretclandestine, careful, aware, not getting excited, avoiding confrontation with security forces in order to preserve their strength from then now to the Tenth Congress. They concentrate in the drawing of up of documents with the appearance of “official document” to expose to the Tenth Congress.
- On July 7th 2004, Hong Ha remarked: “The Tenth Congress will be held in a tensed and drastic decisive atmosphere. This is the last Congress of the Communist Party. We need at first to the resolution resolve of the problem matter of Pham Que Duong so he should be discharged of any guilt, resolve clearly and properly the problem of Le Duc Anh, all the finished documents must be sent to “Regional chapter of the Party”.
1-2. Their Aim
- The Tenth Congress is the target at which all the activities of the progressive forces are aimaiming for. They all said that there will “be earth shaking, breaking events at the Tenth Party Congress” or “The Tenth Party Congress is the last Congress of Communist Party”. Their steps will be:
Step 1: To erode and disengage the confidence of the people from the leadership of the Party. From there they create adversity between the Party and the People.
Step 2: To weaken the leadership system of our Party by mean of developing internal dissent at the Politburo, the Bureau Office of the First Secretary, the Central Committee.
Step 3: Paralyzing the nevralgic nerve administrations organs of the Party, the Army and the Security Agency, “creating lousy buzzing noises in the ears, blurring the view vision of the Party and the Army” (literally from the lips of Le Hong Ha).
Step 4: To exert the pressure arising from the fight for democracy, against corruption, against the unique unitary leadership of the Party... by of forces of intellectuals, veterans, ancient veteran heroes of the revolution fusing to combine with diplomatic pressures abroad that would create “important” evolution at the Tenth Party Congress that are beneficial to the “democratic movement”.
- To agitate internal and personneal affairs. They wrote articles distorting and vilifying the image of president Ho Chi Minh, of high leading ranking officials of the Party, of the State and the army throughout each period of time, carving deeply into affairs they might think consider so contradictory as to create dividedsion right into the leading leadership head of the Party and the State. From this stand they make propaganda on the disunity and political instability of the leadership and the regime, sowing suspicion and doubts at every step. From this stand they make propaganda on the disunity, political instability of the leadership and the regime, spreading discredit on the Party, step by step diminishing people confidence in the leadership of the Party and the State.
- To agitate by mean of ideological argument. They diffuse widely documents, which vilify and distort the dialectic of Marxism and Leninism, the ideology of Ho Chi Minh; they develop and exhort capitalism, refutsing the road to socialism in our country. The progressive forces argue: “socialism hais no lost its more persuasiveness and viabilitye to wave the ideological flag of communism. The Vietnamese Communist Party has actually come to an deadlock, its ideology is freezing frozen, also alienating foreign, dishonest and becomes corrupted, negative from top to low endbottom.
- On a different point of agitation, they say: the socialist regime in Vietnam is not the regime that Uncle Ho has choosen, but in reality is the worst class of capitalist regime system; leaders try to protect each other, creating factions and fomenting internal disunity of the Party.
1.2 Their action plan recently has changed a little bit some what
Agitations from progressive groups prove to have a much higher degree of association (unification) association, much more systematiclarger public field coverage, to be well prepared and concretely planned. They are planning not to creatinge “organization” or “association”, but to fight accordingly struggle more flexibly, to attract and conglomerate forces. Lately, agitating communication and converse the linkage and coordination in the prong of attack of progressive forces of the three regions of North, Centrale and South between progressive forces inside the country and the reactionary Vietnamese abroad has stepped up another level. Especially, they accelerate the rhythm tempo in theof communication with the Embassy of U.S. Embassy A. in Hanoi has moved up a notch, and there is a beginning of coordination between the progressists progressive elements, political opportunists and reactionaries under the cover of religions. Their common goal, their plan and their principles of action become clearer.
First action: Commute “the public struggle” to “ underground actions” to preserve their forces, waiting forfor the propitious moment, to promote the writing of articles, widen the audience to persuade, wake them up to the ideal of “democracy and pluralism” in order to mobilize and to attract other forces “to join the movementt ”.
On March 24th 2004, Hong Ha said: “We cannot struggle by mean of street demonstration, which the government would immediately repress. Therefore we must increase our efforts to write in order to persuade, to wake up simple people to the idea of changing the regime.
Second action: Concentrate the struggle in the protection and the release of progressed progressive personages still in custody. The most noticeable is Thanh Giang who has the mission to keep in touch with the Embassy of the U.S. to coordinate the struggle, to create international pressure on the government of Hanoi. In other hand, they proceed to create a “commission to protect Nguyen Vu Binh” in order to pressure the government.
Third action: They To gather information and write articles, and they diffuse disseminate documents, agitating attacking against the Tenth Congress; the purpose goal is from there to the Tenth Congress to abolish the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam between now and the Tenth Congress. In these documents, their principal target is the policycenters on personnel affairs matters, such as to criticize the directive, the policy of the Party, to incriminate high-ranking leaders, and to foment ting internal disunity of the Party before the Congress Assembly...
Fourth action: They To profit capitalize, incite and actual facts to excite or they to “masquerade” in the name of some certain revolutionaries veterans cadres to propose the draft the so-called “petition letters recommended letter” and sendt them to authoritative administrations of the Party, the State and the Army. They To diffuse disseminate, fabricate and insert distorting reactionary ideas in these documents, using them as basic startanding point and argument to preserve defend their erroneous point of views, and then they subsequently widely propagate them widely to create influence public rumors opinion.
1.4On building forces
On April 12th 2004, the democratic progressive forces of Hanoi in a meeting discussed in a meeting the method to rallyassembly forces for the coming period:
- Create strong symbolic figure from individuals whose revolutionary careers haves earned them credits on their revolutionary career lately and who also has possess democratic ideals.
- The principal mission of the democratic movement from here now to 2006 is: to establish a solid base for the movement and slowly ascertain its stability, furbishing the characteristic of an organization with leadership who controls and surveys, not to act impulsively.
- Through this main stream ideal they develop cultivate a strong influence on military forces since with the understanding that these forces hold the most important key role in the defense of the State of Vietnam. In order to carry this out this, they must convincingly persuade, try toand influence retired high- ranking military retired officers, invite young officers to speak out so as to create disunity in our rank. They exploit documents concerning previous “injustice” committed against high- ranking officers; they point out the fault, the alienation of high officials in the Party in order to excite and to induce them to loose confidence in the Vietnamese Communist Party of Vietnam.
- Concerning the retired high-ranking revolutionary veterans high officials of the State: they would compare point out the cost of living of the two previous periods with the one of today so they can propagate and incite the struggle against corruption, through previous court trials, they would point out the luxurious way of life of some certain current high- ranking officials in function, revealed through some trials, they would reveal the injustice with that befalls several high officials who retired in from the earliery period, from there they incite them to joint and support voluntarily support the democratic movement in Vietnam.
- Concerning the youth young forces: they use files relating to the life and the career of several a number of leading officials of the Party, of the State and the Army to call urge them on the fight “to undermine their faith, so to make they feel lost and are take duped by the lies in the course of historic factys. They would try to erase the admired image of communist leaders”. They agitate to require demand information freedom of information, interchange cultural exchange cultural flow with foreign countries, and bring intellectual and scientific knowledge on economic and social matters so as to refute Marxism and Leninism. They transform this force into the pioneering force of for the democratic movement. In the first placeThe first task, regarding schoolchildren and student, they would open files concerning personal life of leaders in order an attempt to erase from their memory the venerable images of Uncle Ho and several high official leaders of the Party and the State from their memory.
- Regarding the working class in the administrativeadministrative offices corporations and commercial enterprises: they analyze the situation and would clearly point out the lack of justice fairness and democracy, the stagnation in the actual leading leadership structure, and for this is a matter of life and death for them, especially commercial enterprises.
- Progressive forces rally with reactionaries undercover of religion: on May 31st 2004, Hoang Minh Chinh said he has received a letter from Thich Thien Hanh (An Quang Buddhist), who actually presently professing at the pagoda of Bao Quoc in Hue expressing his eagerness to “joint the struggle” of Buddhism with progressive forces in Hanoi. The term of this letter: congratulate Hoang Minh Chinh on his articles written for the in defense of Nguyen Vu Binh, express his personal situation, being himself on severe residence assignationhouse arrest, losing his freedom and at any moment he can be accused of espionage like the Venerables Thich Quang Do and Thisch Huyen Quang, he relied on Hoang Minh Chinh to “share the dishonor that An Quang Buddhist monks must endure at this moment”. Chinh said: “before receiving this letter from Thich Thien Hanh through the rapid channel of EMS”, he had received the tenant content of the letter through the internet. The purpose of this letter is “to rally with our democracy movement for the common struggle”.
1.3 Arguments for propaganda
Their distorted propaganda aimed to vilify, diminish the prestige of the leadership of the Party, the Government, and the Armed Forces in the advent advance of the Tenth Congress.
They make propaganda out of the rampant corruption amid the ranks of leading high ranking officials of our Party and our Government; they take advantage of corruption cases being published ion mass media to transform them in documentsutilize them for theas propaganda tools.
Most noticeable is the point of view of Hong Ha who considered the collective members in the Politburo are allas being on the same boat, all have hold powerful position but fear the population. They are perverted and corrupted and think onlyobsessed ofwith fame and glory, being perverted and corrupted...and he said: “now that they had settled themselves firmly downfeathered and secured their nest, they have to protect themselves to survive... they must deceive more and more...” On this issue, their the reactionary maneuvertactic is, according to Hong Ha is “to thin out”: “to take down pot shot one at a time, on each branch, from old to new, from low to high grade rank... if there were a few, we must exaggerate, if there were none, we must find one to repress attack.”
They spread dmisinformation out of the factional division, internal conflicts amongid officers of the Army, amongid leaders of our Party and our Government:
They misinform on our line ways and our direction to promote the development of Vietnam.
They misinform about on the way and the direction to develop of the economy of Vietnam.
They react vehemently against the result of the Ninth and the Tenth Central Council.
They rejoice at the event that the American Congress has adopted the Human Rights Act on Vietnam in 2004, on June 10th 2004. On July 27th 2004, Hoang Minh Chinh said: “The U.S.A. will provide 4 millions USD to the democratic forces in Vietnam 4 millions USD. Although the draft of this act must be also adopted by the Senate, we could see this is an invigorating sign for the democratic movement inside the country”
The To attack violent resolutely against Marxism and Leninism, the ideology of Ho Chi Minh, the leadership of the Communist Party; they refuse the ideology of Marx and Lenin, the route leading to socialism, they reject the leadership of the communist party, they praise “ free and democratic” capitalism, such as the one l modeled ike after the USA model.
The most remarkable persons emerging from among reactionaries and progressive activists in the country calling themselves “democratic forces” are Nguyen Thanh Giang and Le Hong Ha that whom the entire group praises as “the most intelligent”. These two personages have the same point of view; Thanh Giang often writes open documentreatises of intellectual weight, representing the intellectual class. Hong Ha calling himself “representative of revolutionary veteran’s cadres” often writes articles under a pseudonym investigating Party’s internal affairs, the Army and issues concerning the legislation. The most noteworthy is Thanh Giang who regularly communicates with the American Embassy, with foreign reporters, dissenting publicly dissents and still very vehementvociferously. But Le Hong Ha is a man of tactic; he works secretly, being agile and dangerous.
Activities of reactionary forces of Vietnamese living in exile
SpecialParticularly, the relation between the inside and the outside of the country has been increase regularly, uninterrupted and very well coordinated, from long strategic issues to situationals and factual concrete “struggle” arguments.
2.1 The most significant event in the recent past is: “The First Congress of the Rally for Democracy and Pluralism” (the RDP), organized in Poland from July 26th to 28th 2004.
Nguyen Gia Kieng, the leader of this reactionary organization, said: “This is the occasion for the members of the RDP to assiswitness with their own eyes and make acontact real approach with a society who has come out of a communist regime (in Poland), and from there learn the experiences toand transplant to the realities of Vietnam.” The period of the three coming years must be important, for it would it be there an important event development in the establishing establishment of a democratic and pluralistic regime in Vietnam? How should it be should the degree of “preparedness” of the RDP be to react, considering its organizational aspect and its development, regarding its potentials and means to interfereintervene, regarding its capacity to mobilize its own members and the population, stirring the international support and giving the right pressure impulsion and creating the necessary impetus pressure to progress?
- The most significant arguments for propaganda of the RDP (Rally for Democracy and Pluralism) adopted in its Congress came from the evaluation and the proclamation of Bui Tin and Nguyen Gia Kieng. Speaking of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Bui Tin estimates that: “Actually we stand before the entry waythreshold and we need only change a slight amount in the society to make a great change in the nature of the regime. We are coming across a very important moment of our history while the core of the Communist Party is showing presenting signs of fracture...” Kieng promoted: “...Our strategy must change; first of all we must attack the basic values of the culture that nurtures this sad situation. Therefore we need to open the cultural front of culture”.
- Some remarks concerning this world wide First Congress of the RDP: the Congress has the participation of political parties of Poland, including ruling party and the former opposition parties in opposition, all express their special interest in the Congress. The former president of Poland, Mr. Lech Walesa has also sent congratulations to the Congress and promised to meet “oppositional opposition personalities of Vietnam”. The mass media of Poland and all other “democratic” and “human rights” organizations from U.S.A., from Europe and Australia paid a close interest with to this Congress.
2.2 Specially on August 4th 2004, on the web, began thereo appear on the web “the urgent exhortation of the Council of the Revolutionary Military Armed Force Men in Vietnam” calling upon the population to overthrow the Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam. This document came from the drawing of the RDP, and being diffused distributed largely through mass media and sent to the progressive groups inside Vietnam. “The time has come for the destiny and the history of Vietnam to change. The dictatorial and totalitarian socialist regime of Vietnam is coming to an end? This is the important and decisive moment that shapes the survival of the Vietnamese people. Freedom or death. All the soldiers and military forces of the two former and actual regimes to shake off their revengeful past and, in a common plea, to stand united to overthrow all the members of the Politburo of the Communist Party. In this Bureau all the crimes has been perpetrated against the Vietnamese people. We must fight for freedom or to wait for a certain death coming slowly while living in misery and fear. If we live in fear then our descendants will live in despair before this cruel internal invasion”.
3. The activities of hostile forces against the army and directly against the 2nd Directorate are more and more determined.
With the intent of weakening these instruments of protection of the Party and the socialist regime, the reactionary and progressive forces are increasing their attack against the army, first and foremost focusing on the 2nd Directorate. Their leaders evaluate: “one of the measures tactics is to push upaccelerate the activities called “democracy”, “freedom”, “dividing, deepening the dissensions within the Party”, “against the misdeeds”, is to find the proofs, to distribute propaganda writings, vilifying the 2nd Directorate, lowering debasing the prestige of the 2nd Minister Intelligent Department within the Party and the State, and creating dissension within the 2nd Directorate, that is why , during throughout thise past period times, besides their activities against the Party and the regime, the reactionary and progressive forces are have been concentrating their attack against the 2nd Directorate in a systematic and organized manner, coherent unifying in their contents, methods and timing, both in and outside the country and abroad, with the objective of diminishing the prestige of the 2nd Directorate within the Party and the army, then weakening and “knocking down” the 2nd Directorate, giving them the opportunity to freely agitate in the country and abroad.
3.1. The progressive reactionary forces in the country concentrate on writings to oppose, destroy and slander
3.2. The coordinated activities of the reactionaries living abroad
For these focused activities of opposition, the progressives received the help and the coordination ofrom the Vietnamese reactionary forces abroad and some foreign countries’ forces, among which the mass media like RFA (Radio Free Asia), BBC (British Broadcasting Co), RFI (Radio France International)…
In the 1st worldwide congress of the Rally for Democracy and Pluralism (RDP) in Poland on the 28-7-2004, the reactionary force estimated that “this is the best, the most mature opportunity” to oppose the Party, the State, the Army. On the 27-7-2004, the RDP edited and distributed to the members participating to in the congress in Poland the letter of Tran Dai Son along with the letter of M. Nguyen Nam Khanh, dated 17-6-2004, presented like an official document of the congress. In the congress, Bui Tin declared: “I inform you, my friends: in the court of Hanoi, there is a fight toto the death with the army general Le Duc Anh. Le Duc Anh built up the 2ndDirectorate in 1995…One week ago, we received a 13 page document signed by the lieutenant general Nam Khanh… accusing Le Duc Anh to be a former watchman foreman in a rubber plantation, making a false declaration to penetrate join the Party in 1943; this is illegal, but Anh was protected by Le Duc Tho, Le Duan, he was promoted and reached the highest rank…now that there is a proof that Le Duc Anh was a watchman foreman in a plantation and he has committed wrongdoing against the coolies in the plantation, therefore on the occasion of celebration anniversary celebration of the Dien Bien Phu victory, the generals of the Vietnamese People people’s Army urgently call on the Politburo, the Central Control Committee and the Supreme Court to publicly prosecute this affair.
At the moment, the leadership is embarrassed with the economicca, political, and foreign relations problems, and now this difficult affair is adding up. More than half of the Politburo want to put a gag order to to strangulate this affair, to have it resolveding it behind closed doors, fearing thatlest it will shake the people and the world, that is why Le Duc Anh is crying in front of the Politburo, pleading guilty and asking to not to publicize this affair because “it will be bad not only for me, but also for our Party”… all these news are contained in the letter of the lieutenant general Nam Khanh…” (Extracted verbatim from the recording tape).
In the coming time, the progressive, reactionary forces will continue to increasing the direct attacks against the army and the 2nd Directorate. Bui Tin estimates: “With the writings and letters of some generals and high officers, the democratic group had planned to expose the information to the 9th Central Committee, then to the 10th Central Committee, but for an unknown reason, this could not be done, the timing was incorrect. In any case, there would be a huge explosionrepercussion; it is necessary essentially for the democratic movement. The minute it would be publicized outside is when it should be publicized inside inside”.
3.3. Consideration Assessment of Intelligence service and tycoon of the USAAmerican business interest: the American and western media, intelligence and American business interest tycoon of the USA possess all the internal documents (of the Party Communists) and letters, suggestions…are being sent to the Central Committee, and they are listening, collecting information, documents and the reactions of the public opinion, but they choose not to make it public yet.
In summary:
- The hostile forces have been attackingcombat against the Vietnamese socialist regime and the Vietnamese Communist Party permanently and continuously since for dozens of years. They rely on the extremist policy of the U.S., on the economical, military forces, scientific and industrial globalization; they take advantage of our open door policy to infiltrate, to connect, to attract, to excite in order to undermine secretly the regime… Nevertheless, after dozens of years of furious vehement opposition with tricky methodsby hooks and crooks, they cannot could not achieve their goal of transformingchange the regime and wipe out the Vietnamese Communist Party.
The most dangerous attack and the last that they are using in Vietnam is the maneuver that they have used successfully to clear out the socialist regime in Soviet Union and Eastern Europe; the enemy takes advantage of some internal problems in the Party to propagate, to exciteincite, to create internal dissent, leading to break upself implosion. Their starting point, like just as before in the Soviet Union before, is first to target the army, the public security apparatus and the organizations responsible for the surveillance of the enemy, the security, the intelligence service, in order to deafen and to blind the Party, creating a loss of confidence in the Party, the army and the security. Their measure tactics is to attack individually one by one, to create dissension between these organs and forces.
What the enemy expects most, considering it as a prerequisite condition for their success, is our self loss of stability, self elimination, mutual attack; this gives them a chance for success. As declared by Nguyen Gia Kieng “when the signal light up inside (meaning sign of chaos), we will declare abroad”.
The progressives, reactionaries intensively write and propagate documents called “letter of proposal”, “open letter”… they are specially and eagerly looking for the letters of the old revolutionary comrades, the “underground biographies”, the “historical documents”; on this basis, they distort with the objective of fighting, vilifying the Party and the army, exciting to create internal dissension.
The letters speaking showing of concerns on the situation of the country, of the Party, on the social situation… basically expressed out of responsibility for the Party, for the country, come from the good Party cadres and the good people – the responsible organs of the Party and the State must seriously examine them. Nevertheless, if this is not well managed and resolved according to the principles – especially the erroneous information, due to lack of knowledge, or due to personal remarks and motivations – the enemy will take advantage of it to blacken the Party, the State and the leadership, and to excite, creating internal dissension, loss of confidence of the people towards the Party, creating dissension between the Party and the masses, especially in a complex situation, the danger of widespreading distribution and mass communication of in the industry technical of information age in and the globalization era of today.
4. Prospect of opposition activities from the progressive forces
Looking back at the opposition activities of the progressive and reactionary forces against the Party and the army, one can see: the objective of opposing the Party and the army has been carried out permanently and coherently consistently up to now under the direction and with the support of foreign countries’ espionage service. In the coming days, the level of opposing activities against the Party, the army and the 2nd Directorate will increase fiercely - with the objective of “preparing paving the way” to “be ready” for the 10th Congress.
4.1. The “fight” against the socialist regime, the Vietnamese communist party and the Vietnamese people’s army is carried out fiercely by the enemy, the progressive, the reactionary, and the revisionist forces. Their point of views, their attitude will be “hardertougher”, their swindle machination will be subtler, more dangerous, because they conclude that this is the last opportunity.
Let’s stress once more their evaluationassessment, Hong Ha said: “the 10th Congress will take place with difficulty and decisively. This will be the last Congress of the communist party, one must voluntarily fight… the written documents must be sent to the local communist directions.”
4.2. Continuing the “fight” to defend, to discharge and ask for the liberation of the imprisoned opportunistic political elements and exaggerating their so called successful fight, (the liberation of) Pham Que Duong and Tran Khue.
In the coming days, according to Hoang Minh Chinh, “after the successful fight in the trials of Tran Khue and Pham Que Duong”, the democratic progressive forces must temporarily stop their activities, in order to counteract the control of the security forces, especially during the campaign of to searching for the document “letter of the lieutenant general Nguyen Nam Khanh to the Politburo”. Nevertheless, the struggle for the liberation of the imprisoned persons will be put forward according to the point of view of Hong Ha: considering that the case of Que Duong is solved, take this opportunity to continue the fight, requiring demanding the authorities to liberate Nguyen Khac Toan, Pham Hong Son and Nguyen Vu Binh.
4.3. Promoting the connection linkage between homeland and abroad
The connecting networking activities between the homeland democrats and progressives are carried out more intensively, through the trips of the key persons: Ha Sy Phu going to Hanoi (12-2003), Nguyen Thanh Giang going to the South (3-4-2004), Bui Minh Quoc to Hanoi (4-5-2004), Thanh Giang to Hai Phong (5-2-2004), Manh Son to the South (6-2004)… the “homeland-abroad” coordination of the struggle is pushed up, materialized by 2 aspects: first, the improved connection between Nguyen Thanh Giang and the U.S. embassy, second, between Hoang Minh Chinh and the Vietnamese reactionary forces abroad (mainly in France). The collected information shows that the linking activities between the U.S. and the progressive elements (through Thanh Giang) are concentrated on the issues of democracy, human rights (especially before the American U.S. House of Representatives passed the Vietnam Human Rights Act 2004 and the trial of Pham Que Duong).
Many signals indicate that the past activities of the progressive persons have been directed by the CIA or the American Embassy (for example through Thanh Giang or other hidden persons). Their activities have “plunged” but the “efficiency” has increased, the frequency of the contacts between Thanh Giang and the U.S. Embassy went upincreased, especially before the trial of Pham Que Duong, their activities are camouflaged very carefully, their opposition activities are tightly organized, smoothly coordinated, highly targeted, with clear concrete steps (pushing up the prestige of some revolutionary veterans, them then using them to “attack” the inner circle of the Party and the army). The U.S. evaluate that the overthrow of the present regime in Vietnam cannot be carried out as long as the U.S. have not built in Vietnam the so called American friendly “opposition force” and a Vietnamese “Gorbacheov”. From the adjustments of the direction, the mode of activities of the progressive force in the recent time, along with the relations and connections between the U.S. embassy and the progressive force focusing on Nguyen Thanh Giang, one can affirm: the U.S. use the democratic and progressive force as a card to propagate the idea of “democracy”, “pluralism» so that the Vietnamese society will gradually be “converted”, the masses will follow the so called “democratic movement” in Vietnam. When the CIA will find the political “symbolic figure” in Vietnam, this will be the core to build an “opposition force” to serve the American projects – at that moment, there will be an explosion of activities generating chaos and a generalized crisis – the purpose is to wipe out the communist party and the socialist regime in Vietnam.
4.4. The methods and activities of the progressive and reactionary forces have manyare multi- faceteds, are more efficient, they change very swiftly to follow the situation, the nature and the consequence will be more acute.
In 2003, the opposition activities of the progressive force almost “shrank and throttled braked» in order to observe following the arrests of Nguyen Vu Binh, Pham Que Duong and Tran Khue. One can say that “the democratic movement” has been beaten and suffered heavy losses. Nevertheless, the activities of these forces increased again in 2004, on some occasions they were pushed up (when the trials of Nguyen Vu Binh, Pham Que Duong, and Tran Khue were carried out), they adjusted their methods of opposition. From former open opposition, “democratic organization”, “anti corruption society”, now they turn to “underground” activities with flexible forms of “struggle”, more efficient, “hiding” and taking profit advantage of, and inexciting other forces (the relatives of the prisoners, the revolutionary veterans of war) for the struggle, they do not use the method of demonstration, overthrow, but they hide behind “general movements” to increase writings, attracting the war veterans, the old revolutionaries…consolidating the distribution of writings in order “to change the consciousness” of the population , leading them to fight to change the regime, especially leading the communist party “to evolve itself”.
The progressives continue to consolidate and build their forces, also attracting with them the persons asking seeking to be freedtheir freedom.
This is an issue that the progressives are focusing on from nowhere on out. This is illustrated very clearly by their policy of building up a “flag” within the Party, the State, among the persons having many accomplishments, a with high prestige, and a “democratic” point of view. In the same time, they want to build up local “democratic movements” which will have organized activities, better led, better controlled, not risky, not superficial. In reality, their forces have not developed a lot in the past, their number is not important, and is decreasing because some “blazing” personalities have been arrested. Moreover the key persons of the “movement” Hoang Minh Chinh, Hong Ha, Thanh Giang… are old and have disagreement. Seeing that their position and force do not allow them to build an organization opposing the communist party, they search to consolidate their position and attract new forces. Some signs show that the progressives in Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh city are actively deploying this policy.
4.6. The unity problem among the progressives, the reactionaries has been solved overcome to “unite for the struggle”.
The progressives, the reactionaries, the revisionists, the political opportunists and the disappointed elements will resolve their internal disagreements, they will coordinate to fight and expand the alliance with the reactionaries abroad and the enemy forces. In 2003, the disagreement within the progressive groups was very serious, especially between Thanh Giang and Hoang Minh Chinh. This is not a disagreement on the point of view, these two persons agree on the common objective, which is fighting and criticizing the Party, opposing the State. The problem is due to jealousy and disagreement on the strategy measures, the way of struggling for the “democratic movement”. Now, the disagreement has been gradually reconciled although not completely resolved. Due to the action of Hong Ha and Bui Minh Quoc, Hoang Minh Chinh and Thanh Giang agreed to put away their dissension disagreement to concentrate on the common struggle of the “movement”, especially on the defense of Pham Que Duong. Moreover, through the meetings between the members of the “democratic group” like Thanh Giang, Hong Ha, Son Tung and the key persons of the progressive forces, one can see that the main persons have reached a common voice in evaluation of the situation and the objective of struggling under the pretext of democracy, human rights, and corruption.
4.7. The determination to “revise the judgments” on all events within the Party from 1954 to until now, for example: “Nhan van Giai pham” (Humanist Literature- Masterworks), “the prosecution of dissents to the Party”, the land reform, the policies of the Party and the State after 1975.
Recently, some literature works have been distributed where the contents revise the trials, deny the accomplishments of the Party in the leading role of the Vietnamese revolution. The book of Nguyen Khac Huynh “Vietnam and the world in the 20th century”, the book of Nhat Hoa Khanh “meeting the poet To Huu at the house, 76 Phan Dinh Phung street” … are some examples. Nhat Hoa Khanh presents the “confidence” of the comrade To Huu, remorseful for his past activities; in reality the author borrowed “the hand” of a high ranking cadre of the Party to revise the proceedings “Nhan van- Giai pham” (Humanist Literature- Masterworks Literary works), “the proceedings of opposition to the Party”… in order to deny the former resolutions of the Party; he presented some documents that can be hardly verified in order to “explain” the intention of vilifying some present high ranking cadres of the Party, creating suspicion in the mind of the readers on the disagreements within the Party. The article “The souvenirs on of Uncle Ho” distorts the truth over the life of Uncle, frequently unhappy, the internal circle of the Party attacking each other, China, Soviet Union putting pressure forcing the Party to conduct the agrarian reform leading to errors… On the other hand, the hostile forces push upaccelerate writing propaganda, inexciting the attacks against the army and the 2nd Ministry Intelligence Department (Intelligence service) before the 10th Congress. All these affairs belong are parts and parcel to the enemy plot to split up the attention of the Party, busy to resolve the “internal problems”, and unable to concentrate on drawing the policy, choosing the persons, consolidating the organization, performing badly the task of preparing the 10th Congress.
Therefore the hostile forces will concentrate their troops, their capacity, connecting linking the homeland and the foreign elements to strongly, resolutely oppose and destroy the Party, the State and the army during the period of preparation of the 10th Congress in the 2nd half of 2005.
5. Some remarks and proposals
5.1. This is not the first time the hostile forces strongly attack the Party, the State and the army as gravely as today like today. These kinds of activities have occurred permanently consistently since for dozens of years. Especially certainly, these campaigns of opposition would usually grows reach its peak up before each Party Congress. Since the 5th Congress until today, our Party hais always remained awakealert, perspicaciously annihilates neutralized the schemes of the hostile forces and conducteds successfully the Congress successfully, renovated the country, firmly followed the direction of socialism.
Today, in the periodduring of the preparation of the 10th Congress, the enemy organizes the opposition campaign earlier than the previous times, with the much stronger support of from the U.S. and other enemy forces abroad, with a better planned coordination, and better relation closer between the homeland and foreign forces. The enemy’s policy is to go seek within the Party and to find the internal problems to and transform them into the starting point of attack for the campaign of opposition and to destroy against the Party, the State and the Aarmy.
5.2. When correlating our force and the enemy, the hostile forces actively use the spies, the reactionary, the progressive, the revisionists opposing the Party, the unsatisfied elements… within and outside the country to oppose on the important problems like such as the Western highlands, religions, human rights… and excite incite the opposition to meddle in our internal organization. Nevertheless, these dangerous elements represent only a certain number; they have no masses, no forces. Their number is less than 100. But thanks to the information technology, they can launch propaganda campaigns, in large scale, blowing up the dimension, the nature and the force, leading many people to believe that they are too very strong. In reality this is not the case.
With such a force, what is expecting the enemy expecting? They cannot dream of a “revolution” to overthrow the regime. Therefore, they hope that internal dissension will appear and error mistakes will appear when resolving the internal problems. As said by Bui Tin and Nguyen Gia Kieng, what they hope for is mostly is to inexcite the internal disorder, and mutual elimination, this now is the opportunity. The lesson from the Soviet Union shows that , with a very small group, the progressive, reactionary and revisionist elements within the Soviet Union Communist Party, which were made up of only some dozens persons, they were able to succeeded in wiping out the Soviet Union., Tthis is due to internal problems.
5.3. On our side, in the past years the country had a strong growth, the our position and strength on the international scene are recognized. The economy, and the culture of theand society are being developed; in particular our political foundations are basically consolidated throughout the ups and downs, the events and the complexity of the situation. Our Party is a strong Party, with united will and action, Iin particular it has the absolutely faithful armed forces, always ready to defend the party, the socialist regime and the people. That is why, when comparing our force with the enemy, it is a huge difference.
For that reason, to defend the Party, the regime, to defend the Fatherland and the people, to prepare well for the 10th Congress of the Party, we maintain the internal stability, not letting the hostile force inexcitinge and, dividing divide us, especially during the 10th Congress, we keep the principle of centralized democracy, not letting the external force (the enemy, the progressive, the revisionist, the unsatisfied, the persons who do not understand the situation…) leading or influencing influence tacitly clandestinely.
The Party, the State are firmly in control of the defense and security forces, closely manage the situation on all aspects, actively control the situation inside and outside the country, ready to take the initiative and face any eventuality. There are adequate measures, urgent and long term to basically resolve the hot points spots like such as the Western Highlands, the South West region, the North West region. We need to find a good solution to our the international relations, following along the two important axes of Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia, which is a close, life and death relationship;, and the axe of US-Vietnam-China. We need to keep the stability inof the lives of people, to develop the economy and the society.
Viet-Nam Ministry of Defense
On August 24th 2004
Translated by Thai Nguyen-Khoa
Note: This is a report from the Ministry of Defense for the Party’s Central Military Council on August 24th 2004. This document was sent abroad by Tthe Democratic CircleClub, an underground organization in Vietnam, and was widely diffused disseminated on the Internet. The report is composed of three parts: part one describes “ the conspiracy” of the United States of America, part two reports on “the strategy of peaceful progress evolution of the U.S.A. and other inimical reactionary forces”. These two parts only repeat the all too familiar argument of the communist government. Part three three makesgives an account of democratic alliances. For this reason, The Democratic Club had chosen to diffuse distribute only part three hereafter.
To comprehend understand this document, one must’s gets to know its author, who revealed is none other than the 2nd Directorate. This Directorate is apparently an the head intelligence section within the Ministry of Defense but in fact is an administration that hasve authority over every functions of the government since the Intelligence Decree has been signed into lawn in 1996 and the famous Government Decree n°96-CP in 1997 that Vo Van Kiet has reluctantly signed reluctantly under the pressure of Le Duc Anh. The Directorate n°2 has all the power to exercise its authority over all national domains as well as foreign affairs, whether it is concerned with military affairs or not. During For nearly twenty years, the 2nd Directorate hass been the tools of Le Duc Anh’s faction to dominatekeep the Communist Party in check and to utilize the Party as a control apparatus for the whole country. The 2nd Directorate has allowed itself to take every ferocious and deceptive measure for this purpose. It invented the cases of Nam Chau – Sau Su in 1991 in order to calumniate important officials close to General Vo Nguyen Giap and General Tran Van Tra. During the period of 1996 through 1999, it invented a phony bogus spy with the code name T4 to incriminate almost all high officials of the regime e for having relation with the CIA. Most gravely, the 2nd Directorate is also the culprit behind the brutruthlesse campaign of repression against democracy advocates inside Vietnam. Finally, the 2nd Directorate is the most stubborn and harmful force whto works against democracy. No wonder then if the 2ndDirectorate has been slowly isolated and met with resistance from almost all of the high ranking military officers and communist cadres, who were victims of its exaction or disgusted riled against its power abuse of power.
Since this summer, after the denunciation letter of General Nguyen Nam Khanh, acting as spokesperson for a massive blocklarge number of high-ranking communist officials, communisthe fate of the 2nd Directorate has become uinstable. Several A rising chorus of prominent voices haves elevated condemned, and wishingwant to punish the leaders of Directorate n°2, including Le Duc Anh. General Pham Van Tra, Minister of Defense, formally head of the 2nd Directorate, who is one of the most active subordinates of Le Duc Anh. According to trusted sources, at this broaden general Central Party’s Military Commissioners’ meeting, were present General Vo Nguyen Giap, Le Kha Phieu and Nguyen Nam Khanh were present – there was many others generals, including General Le Van Dung, who categorically criticizattacked namely General Pham Van Tra and summoned demanded him his to resignation.
The problem of leadership will be settled at the approaching coming Tenth Congress of the Communist Party. In this context, the purpose of the following report is to alleviate mitigate the offence of the 2nd Directorate and Le Duc Anh‘s faction. For this reason, it needs to wave the red flag in front of to the members of the Communist Party regarding its own impending danger of collapse, first of allfirst and foremost, members of the Politburo and the Central Committee the menace of their own standing collapsing beforehand if they don’t reconciliate reconcile and make peace with each other, that means meaning they have to leave Directorate n°2 and Le Duc Anh's faction untouched.
The Rally for Democracy and Pluralism has been put forwardused as the ogre and described as a ferocious phenomenon threat to terrify Communist Party members and unchained the to untangle the mess of the 2nd Directorate. Nguyen Thanh Giang, Le Hong Ha and Hoang Minh Chinh inside the country and Nguyen Gia Kieng and Bui Tin outside were described as dangerous adversaries of the regime.
This report also perniciously linked The Rally for Democracy and Pluralism with an organization calling itself “The Council of Revolutionary Members of the Armed Forces Military men of Vietnam”, that which no one ever has heard of before and very likely a fabrication of the 2nd Directorate in the same manner of as for “the spy T4” incident, which purpose is to bend the principle of non-violence of the Rally for Democracy and Pluralism. Rally for Democracy and Pluralism strongly denounce this malevolent amalgam association.
The Rally for Democracy and Pluralism is a menace for to nobodyno one. Instead, it represents the hope for the future in the spirit of reconciliation and concord of for the nation, with a dignified status standing for everybody, including communist members.
Taking advantage of its the superiority on of its economy and military force, the U.S. has increasingly proceed pursued a global strategy at its most radical level, much more intelligent in order to rapidly impose its unique leadership, confirming its status of the only onesole super power in the world.
The Vietnam revolution continues to struggle face against with four kinds of menacesthreats, which are being confirmed in the lthe last Party Congresses. With the aim of abolishing the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and transforming the socialist regime of Vietnam, the U.S. accelerates “peaceful progressdevelopment” activities through conspirationconspiracy, using maneuvers more and more sensitive and Machiavellianc in nature, especially the plot determines to undermine the unity of the Party, using progressive and reactionary forces inside and outside the country, fomenting internal agitations turbulences to speed up changes within our partyranks. Hereafter The following is the report on the situation of international, world its surrounding regionals and inside the country domestic developments during the last time that, which have direct bearing influenced directly on the Security and Defense of Vietnam. Forecast some conspiracies and plans of inimical hostile forces against the government from then now on to the Tenth Congress.
I. Strategic Plan of the U.S.A. concerning the world and the surrounding regions
{...}
II. Strategy of peaceful progress evolution of the U.S.A. and other inimical hostile forces against Vietnam on present daycurrently and forecast for the future.
{...}
III. Inimical forces augment their activities to inciting incite progressive and reactionary groups inside and outside the country attacking the party and theour military armed force, directing their peak thrust toward the Tenth Congress.
Reactionary and progressive bands groups inside and outside the country from in earlier time on had confirmed their policyintents, developing measures and plansschemes, establishing and consolidating its organization, developing propagandist arguments to demolish with utmost determination the Tenth Congress of the Communist Party.
Progressive and reactionary bands groups inside the country
1.1 Their Policy
- On February 22nd 2004, at Nr no. 62 Ngo Quyen Street – Hanoi there was a reunion of some progressive personages of Hanoi with the presence of Hoang Minh Chinh, Hong Ha, Thanh Giang, Hoang Tien ... This meeting developed some actions to take from now until the day of the Tenth Congress.
Their aim is to create anarchism within the Communist Party, social situation boiling in crisis in every aspect where the Party cannot resolve, pressuring the leadership so to divide, to come to the brink of abolishment or to declare its own dissolution.
Their active direction is never to used violence and develops common strength of forces inside and outside the country.
Their measure: Absolutely secretclandestine, careful, aware, not getting excited, avoiding confrontation with security forces in order to preserve their strength from then now to the Tenth Congress. They concentrate in the drawing of up of documents with the appearance of “official document” to expose to the Tenth Congress.
- On July 7th 2004, Hong Ha remarked: “The Tenth Congress will be held in a tensed and drastic decisive atmosphere. This is the last Congress of the Communist Party. We need at first to the resolution resolve of the problem matter of Pham Que Duong so he should be discharged of any guilt, resolve clearly and properly the problem of Le Duc Anh, all the finished documents must be sent to “Regional chapter of the Party”.
1-2. Their Aim
- The Tenth Congress is the target at which all the activities of the progressive forces are aimaiming for. They all said that there will “be earth shaking, breaking events at the Tenth Party Congress” or “The Tenth Party Congress is the last Congress of Communist Party”. Their steps will be:
Step 1: To erode and disengage the confidence of the people from the leadership of the Party. From there they create adversity between the Party and the People.
Step 2: To weaken the leadership system of our Party by mean of developing internal dissent at the Politburo, the Bureau Office of the First Secretary, the Central Committee.
Step 3: Paralyzing the nevralgic nerve administrations organs of the Party, the Army and the Security Agency, “creating lousy buzzing noises in the ears, blurring the view vision of the Party and the Army” (literally from the lips of Le Hong Ha).
Step 4: To exert the pressure arising from the fight for democracy, against corruption, against the unique unitary leadership of the Party... by of forces of intellectuals, veterans, ancient veteran heroes of the revolution fusing to combine with diplomatic pressures abroad that would create “important” evolution at the Tenth Party Congress that are beneficial to the “democratic movement”.
- To agitate internal and personneal affairs. They wrote articles distorting and vilifying the image of president Ho Chi Minh, of high leading ranking officials of the Party, of the State and the army throughout each period of time, carving deeply into affairs they might think consider so contradictory as to create dividedsion right into the leading leadership head of the Party and the State. From this stand they make propaganda on the disunity and political instability of the leadership and the regime, sowing suspicion and doubts at every step. From this stand they make propaganda on the disunity, political instability of the leadership and the regime, spreading discredit on the Party, step by step diminishing people confidence in the leadership of the Party and the State.
- To agitate by mean of ideological argument. They diffuse widely documents, which vilify and distort the dialectic of Marxism and Leninism, the ideology of Ho Chi Minh; they develop and exhort capitalism, refutsing the road to socialism in our country. The progressive forces argue: “socialism hais no lost its more persuasiveness and viabilitye to wave the ideological flag of communism. The Vietnamese Communist Party has actually come to an deadlock, its ideology is freezing frozen, also alienating foreign, dishonest and becomes corrupted, negative from top to low endbottom.
- On a different point of agitation, they say: the socialist regime in Vietnam is not the regime that Uncle Ho has choosen, but in reality is the worst class of capitalist regime system; leaders try to protect each other, creating factions and fomenting internal disunity of the Party.
1.2 Their action plan recently has changed a little bit some what
Agitations from progressive groups prove to have a much higher degree of association (unification) association, much more systematiclarger public field coverage, to be well prepared and concretely planned. They are planning not to creatinge “organization” or “association”, but to fight accordingly struggle more flexibly, to attract and conglomerate forces. Lately, agitating communication and converse the linkage and coordination in the prong of attack of progressive forces of the three regions of North, Centrale and South between progressive forces inside the country and the reactionary Vietnamese abroad has stepped up another level. Especially, they accelerate the rhythm tempo in theof communication with the Embassy of U.S. Embassy A. in Hanoi has moved up a notch, and there is a beginning of coordination between the progressists progressive elements, political opportunists and reactionaries under the cover of religions. Their common goal, their plan and their principles of action become clearer.
First action: Commute “the public struggle” to “ underground actions” to preserve their forces, waiting forfor the propitious moment, to promote the writing of articles, widen the audience to persuade, wake them up to the ideal of “democracy and pluralism” in order to mobilize and to attract other forces “to join the movementt ”.
On March 24th 2004, Hong Ha said: “We cannot struggle by mean of street demonstration, which the government would immediately repress. Therefore we must increase our efforts to write in order to persuade, to wake up simple people to the idea of changing the regime.
Second action: Concentrate the struggle in the protection and the release of progressed progressive personages still in custody. The most noticeable is Thanh Giang who has the mission to keep in touch with the Embassy of the U.S. to coordinate the struggle, to create international pressure on the government of Hanoi. In other hand, they proceed to create a “commission to protect Nguyen Vu Binh” in order to pressure the government.
Third action: They To gather information and write articles, and they diffuse disseminate documents, agitating attacking against the Tenth Congress; the purpose goal is from there to the Tenth Congress to abolish the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam between now and the Tenth Congress. In these documents, their principal target is the policycenters on personnel affairs matters, such as to criticize the directive, the policy of the Party, to incriminate high-ranking leaders, and to foment ting internal disunity of the Party before the Congress Assembly...
Fourth action: They To profit capitalize, incite and actual facts to excite or they to “masquerade” in the name of some certain revolutionaries veterans cadres to propose the draft the so-called “petition letters recommended letter” and sendt them to authoritative administrations of the Party, the State and the Army. They To diffuse disseminate, fabricate and insert distorting reactionary ideas in these documents, using them as basic startanding point and argument to preserve defend their erroneous point of views, and then they subsequently widely propagate them widely to create influence public rumors opinion.
1.4On building forces
On April 12th 2004, the democratic progressive forces of Hanoi in a meeting discussed in a meeting the method to rallyassembly forces for the coming period:
- Create strong symbolic figure from individuals whose revolutionary careers haves earned them credits on their revolutionary career lately and who also has possess democratic ideals.
- The principal mission of the democratic movement from here now to 2006 is: to establish a solid base for the movement and slowly ascertain its stability, furbishing the characteristic of an organization with leadership who controls and surveys, not to act impulsively.
- Through this main stream ideal they develop cultivate a strong influence on military forces since with the understanding that these forces hold the most important key role in the defense of the State of Vietnam. In order to carry this out this, they must convincingly persuade, try toand influence retired high- ranking military retired officers, invite young officers to speak out so as to create disunity in our rank. They exploit documents concerning previous “injustice” committed against high- ranking officers; they point out the fault, the alienation of high officials in the Party in order to excite and to induce them to loose confidence in the Vietnamese Communist Party of Vietnam.
- Concerning the retired high-ranking revolutionary veterans high officials of the State: they would compare point out the cost of living of the two previous periods with the one of today so they can propagate and incite the struggle against corruption, through previous court trials, they would point out the luxurious way of life of some certain current high- ranking officials in function, revealed through some trials, they would reveal the injustice with that befalls several high officials who retired in from the earliery period, from there they incite them to joint and support voluntarily support the democratic movement in Vietnam.
- Concerning the youth young forces: they use files relating to the life and the career of several a number of leading officials of the Party, of the State and the Army to call urge them on the fight “to undermine their faith, so to make they feel lost and are take duped by the lies in the course of historic factys. They would try to erase the admired image of communist leaders”. They agitate to require demand information freedom of information, interchange cultural exchange cultural flow with foreign countries, and bring intellectual and scientific knowledge on economic and social matters so as to refute Marxism and Leninism. They transform this force into the pioneering force of for the democratic movement. In the first placeThe first task, regarding schoolchildren and student, they would open files concerning personal life of leaders in order an attempt to erase from their memory the venerable images of Uncle Ho and several high official leaders of the Party and the State from their memory.
- Regarding the working class in the administrativeadministrative offices corporations and commercial enterprises: they analyze the situation and would clearly point out the lack of justice fairness and democracy, the stagnation in the actual leading leadership structure, and for this is a matter of life and death for them, especially commercial enterprises.
- Progressive forces rally with reactionaries undercover of religion: on May 31st 2004, Hoang Minh Chinh said he has received a letter from Thich Thien Hanh (An Quang Buddhist), who actually presently professing at the pagoda of Bao Quoc in Hue expressing his eagerness to “joint the struggle” of Buddhism with progressive forces in Hanoi. The term of this letter: congratulate Hoang Minh Chinh on his articles written for the in defense of Nguyen Vu Binh, express his personal situation, being himself on severe residence assignationhouse arrest, losing his freedom and at any moment he can be accused of espionage like the Venerables Thich Quang Do and Thisch Huyen Quang, he relied on Hoang Minh Chinh to “share the dishonor that An Quang Buddhist monks must endure at this moment”. Chinh said: “before receiving this letter from Thich Thien Hanh through the rapid channel of EMS”, he had received the tenant content of the letter through the internet. The purpose of this letter is “to rally with our democracy movement for the common struggle”.
1.3 Arguments for propaganda
Their distorted propaganda aimed to vilify, diminish the prestige of the leadership of the Party, the Government, and the Armed Forces in the advent advance of the Tenth Congress.
They make propaganda out of the rampant corruption amid the ranks of leading high ranking officials of our Party and our Government; they take advantage of corruption cases being published ion mass media to transform them in documentsutilize them for theas propaganda tools.
Most noticeable is the point of view of Hong Ha who considered the collective members in the Politburo are allas being on the same boat, all have hold powerful position but fear the population. They are perverted and corrupted and think onlyobsessed ofwith fame and glory, being perverted and corrupted...and he said: “now that they had settled themselves firmly downfeathered and secured their nest, they have to protect themselves to survive... they must deceive more and more...” On this issue, their the reactionary maneuvertactic is, according to Hong Ha is “to thin out”: “to take down pot shot one at a time, on each branch, from old to new, from low to high grade rank... if there were a few, we must exaggerate, if there were none, we must find one to repress attack.”
They spread dmisinformation out of the factional division, internal conflicts amongid officers of the Army, amongid leaders of our Party and our Government:
They misinform on our line ways and our direction to promote the development of Vietnam.
They misinform about on the way and the direction to develop of the economy of Vietnam.
They react vehemently against the result of the Ninth and the Tenth Central Council.
They rejoice at the event that the American Congress has adopted the Human Rights Act on Vietnam in 2004, on June 10th 2004. On July 27th 2004, Hoang Minh Chinh said: “The U.S.A. will provide 4 millions USD to the democratic forces in Vietnam 4 millions USD. Although the draft of this act must be also adopted by the Senate, we could see this is an invigorating sign for the democratic movement inside the country”
The To attack violent resolutely against Marxism and Leninism, the ideology of Ho Chi Minh, the leadership of the Communist Party; they refuse the ideology of Marx and Lenin, the route leading to socialism, they reject the leadership of the communist party, they praise “ free and democratic” capitalism, such as the one l modeled ike after the USA model.
The most remarkable persons emerging from among reactionaries and progressive activists in the country calling themselves “democratic forces” are Nguyen Thanh Giang and Le Hong Ha that whom the entire group praises as “the most intelligent”. These two personages have the same point of view; Thanh Giang often writes open documentreatises of intellectual weight, representing the intellectual class. Hong Ha calling himself “representative of revolutionary veteran’s cadres” often writes articles under a pseudonym investigating Party’s internal affairs, the Army and issues concerning the legislation. The most noteworthy is Thanh Giang who regularly communicates with the American Embassy, with foreign reporters, dissenting publicly dissents and still very vehementvociferously. But Le Hong Ha is a man of tactic; he works secretly, being agile and dangerous.
Activities of reactionary forces of Vietnamese living in exile
SpecialParticularly, the relation between the inside and the outside of the country has been increase regularly, uninterrupted and very well coordinated, from long strategic issues to situationals and factual concrete “struggle” arguments.
2.1 The most significant event in the recent past is: “The First Congress of the Rally for Democracy and Pluralism” (the RDP), organized in Poland from July 26th to 28th 2004.
Nguyen Gia Kieng, the leader of this reactionary organization, said: “This is the occasion for the members of the RDP to assiswitness with their own eyes and make acontact real approach with a society who has come out of a communist regime (in Poland), and from there learn the experiences toand transplant to the realities of Vietnam.” The period of the three coming years must be important, for it would it be there an important event development in the establishing establishment of a democratic and pluralistic regime in Vietnam? How should it be should the degree of “preparedness” of the RDP be to react, considering its organizational aspect and its development, regarding its potentials and means to interfereintervene, regarding its capacity to mobilize its own members and the population, stirring the international support and giving the right pressure impulsion and creating the necessary impetus pressure to progress?
- The most significant arguments for propaganda of the RDP (Rally for Democracy and Pluralism) adopted in its Congress came from the evaluation and the proclamation of Bui Tin and Nguyen Gia Kieng. Speaking of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Bui Tin estimates that: “Actually we stand before the entry waythreshold and we need only change a slight amount in the society to make a great change in the nature of the regime. We are coming across a very important moment of our history while the core of the Communist Party is showing presenting signs of fracture...” Kieng promoted: “...Our strategy must change; first of all we must attack the basic values of the culture that nurtures this sad situation. Therefore we need to open the cultural front of culture”.
- Some remarks concerning this world wide First Congress of the RDP: the Congress has the participation of political parties of Poland, including ruling party and the former opposition parties in opposition, all express their special interest in the Congress. The former president of Poland, Mr. Lech Walesa has also sent congratulations to the Congress and promised to meet “oppositional opposition personalities of Vietnam”. The mass media of Poland and all other “democratic” and “human rights” organizations from U.S.A., from Europe and Australia paid a close interest with to this Congress.
2.2 Specially on August 4th 2004, on the web, began thereo appear on the web “the urgent exhortation of the Council of the Revolutionary Military Armed Force Men in Vietnam” calling upon the population to overthrow the Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam. This document came from the drawing of the RDP, and being diffused distributed largely through mass media and sent to the progressive groups inside Vietnam. “The time has come for the destiny and the history of Vietnam to change. The dictatorial and totalitarian socialist regime of Vietnam is coming to an end? This is the important and decisive moment that shapes the survival of the Vietnamese people. Freedom or death. All the soldiers and military forces of the two former and actual regimes to shake off their revengeful past and, in a common plea, to stand united to overthrow all the members of the Politburo of the Communist Party. In this Bureau all the crimes has been perpetrated against the Vietnamese people. We must fight for freedom or to wait for a certain death coming slowly while living in misery and fear. If we live in fear then our descendants will live in despair before this cruel internal invasion”.
3. The activities of hostile forces against the army and directly against the 2nd Directorate are more and more determined.
With the intent of weakening these instruments of protection of the Party and the socialist regime, the reactionary and progressive forces are increasing their attack against the army, first and foremost focusing on the 2nd Directorate. Their leaders evaluate: “one of the measures tactics is to push upaccelerate the activities called “democracy”, “freedom”, “dividing, deepening the dissensions within the Party”, “against the misdeeds”, is to find the proofs, to distribute propaganda writings, vilifying the 2nd Directorate, lowering debasing the prestige of the 2nd Minister Intelligent Department within the Party and the State, and creating dissension within the 2nd Directorate, that is why , during throughout thise past period times, besides their activities against the Party and the regime, the reactionary and progressive forces are have been concentrating their attack against the 2nd Directorate in a systematic and organized manner, coherent unifying in their contents, methods and timing, both in and outside the country and abroad, with the objective of diminishing the prestige of the 2nd Directorate within the Party and the army, then weakening and “knocking down” the 2nd Directorate, giving them the opportunity to freely agitate in the country and abroad.
3.1. The progressive reactionary forces in the country concentrate on writings to oppose, destroy and slander
3.2. The coordinated activities of the reactionaries living abroad
For these focused activities of opposition, the progressives received the help and the coordination ofrom the Vietnamese reactionary forces abroad and some foreign countries’ forces, among which the mass media like RFA (Radio Free Asia), BBC (British Broadcasting Co), RFI (Radio France International)…
In the 1st worldwide congress of the Rally for Democracy and Pluralism (RDP) in Poland on the 28-7-2004, the reactionary force estimated that “this is the best, the most mature opportunity” to oppose the Party, the State, the Army. On the 27-7-2004, the RDP edited and distributed to the members participating to in the congress in Poland the letter of Tran Dai Son along with the letter of M. Nguyen Nam Khanh, dated 17-6-2004, presented like an official document of the congress. In the congress, Bui Tin declared: “I inform you, my friends: in the court of Hanoi, there is a fight toto the death with the army general Le Duc Anh. Le Duc Anh built up the 2ndDirectorate in 1995…One week ago, we received a 13 page document signed by the lieutenant general Nam Khanh… accusing Le Duc Anh to be a former watchman foreman in a rubber plantation, making a false declaration to penetrate join the Party in 1943; this is illegal, but Anh was protected by Le Duc Tho, Le Duan, he was promoted and reached the highest rank…now that there is a proof that Le Duc Anh was a watchman foreman in a plantation and he has committed wrongdoing against the coolies in the plantation, therefore on the occasion of celebration anniversary celebration of the Dien Bien Phu victory, the generals of the Vietnamese People people’s Army urgently call on the Politburo, the Central Control Committee and the Supreme Court to publicly prosecute this affair.
At the moment, the leadership is embarrassed with the economicca, political, and foreign relations problems, and now this difficult affair is adding up. More than half of the Politburo want to put a gag order to to strangulate this affair, to have it resolveding it behind closed doors, fearing thatlest it will shake the people and the world, that is why Le Duc Anh is crying in front of the Politburo, pleading guilty and asking to not to publicize this affair because “it will be bad not only for me, but also for our Party”… all these news are contained in the letter of the lieutenant general Nam Khanh…” (Extracted verbatim from the recording tape).
In the coming time, the progressive, reactionary forces will continue to increasing the direct attacks against the army and the 2nd Directorate. Bui Tin estimates: “With the writings and letters of some generals and high officers, the democratic group had planned to expose the information to the 9th Central Committee, then to the 10th Central Committee, but for an unknown reason, this could not be done, the timing was incorrect. In any case, there would be a huge explosionrepercussion; it is necessary essentially for the democratic movement. The minute it would be publicized outside is when it should be publicized inside inside”.
3.3. Consideration Assessment of Intelligence service and tycoon of the USAAmerican business interest: the American and western media, intelligence and American business interest tycoon of the USA possess all the internal documents (of the Party Communists) and letters, suggestions…are being sent to the Central Committee, and they are listening, collecting information, documents and the reactions of the public opinion, but they choose not to make it public yet.
In summary:
- The hostile forces have been attackingcombat against the Vietnamese socialist regime and the Vietnamese Communist Party permanently and continuously since for dozens of years. They rely on the extremist policy of the U.S., on the economical, military forces, scientific and industrial globalization; they take advantage of our open door policy to infiltrate, to connect, to attract, to excite in order to undermine secretly the regime… Nevertheless, after dozens of years of furious vehement opposition with tricky methodsby hooks and crooks, they cannot could not achieve their goal of transformingchange the regime and wipe out the Vietnamese Communist Party.
The most dangerous attack and the last that they are using in Vietnam is the maneuver that they have used successfully to clear out the socialist regime in Soviet Union and Eastern Europe; the enemy takes advantage of some internal problems in the Party to propagate, to exciteincite, to create internal dissent, leading to break upself implosion. Their starting point, like just as before in the Soviet Union before, is first to target the army, the public security apparatus and the organizations responsible for the surveillance of the enemy, the security, the intelligence service, in order to deafen and to blind the Party, creating a loss of confidence in the Party, the army and the security. Their measure tactics is to attack individually one by one, to create dissension between these organs and forces.
What the enemy expects most, considering it as a prerequisite condition for their success, is our self loss of stability, self elimination, mutual attack; this gives them a chance for success. As declared by Nguyen Gia Kieng “when the signal light up inside (meaning sign of chaos), we will declare abroad”.
The progressives, reactionaries intensively write and propagate documents called “letter of proposal”, “open letter”… they are specially and eagerly looking for the letters of the old revolutionary comrades, the “underground biographies”, the “historical documents”; on this basis, they distort with the objective of fighting, vilifying the Party and the army, exciting to create internal dissension.
The letters speaking showing of concerns on the situation of the country, of the Party, on the social situation… basically expressed out of responsibility for the Party, for the country, come from the good Party cadres and the good people – the responsible organs of the Party and the State must seriously examine them. Nevertheless, if this is not well managed and resolved according to the principles – especially the erroneous information, due to lack of knowledge, or due to personal remarks and motivations – the enemy will take advantage of it to blacken the Party, the State and the leadership, and to excite, creating internal dissension, loss of confidence of the people towards the Party, creating dissension between the Party and the masses, especially in a complex situation, the danger of widespreading distribution and mass communication of in the industry technical of information age in and the globalization era of today.
4. Prospect of opposition activities from the progressive forces
Looking back at the opposition activities of the progressive and reactionary forces against the Party and the army, one can see: the objective of opposing the Party and the army has been carried out permanently and coherently consistently up to now under the direction and with the support of foreign countries’ espionage service. In the coming days, the level of opposing activities against the Party, the army and the 2nd Directorate will increase fiercely - with the objective of “preparing paving the way” to “be ready” for the 10th Congress.
4.1. The “fight” against the socialist regime, the Vietnamese communist party and the Vietnamese people’s army is carried out fiercely by the enemy, the progressive, the reactionary, and the revisionist forces. Their point of views, their attitude will be “hardertougher”, their swindle machination will be subtler, more dangerous, because they conclude that this is the last opportunity.
Let’s stress once more their evaluationassessment, Hong Ha said: “the 10th Congress will take place with difficulty and decisively. This will be the last Congress of the communist party, one must voluntarily fight… the written documents must be sent to the local communist directions.”
4.2. Continuing the “fight” to defend, to discharge and ask for the liberation of the imprisoned opportunistic political elements and exaggerating their so called successful fight, (the liberation of) Pham Que Duong and Tran Khue.
In the coming days, according to Hoang Minh Chinh, “after the successful fight in the trials of Tran Khue and Pham Que Duong”, the democratic progressive forces must temporarily stop their activities, in order to counteract the control of the security forces, especially during the campaign of to searching for the document “letter of the lieutenant general Nguyen Nam Khanh to the Politburo”. Nevertheless, the struggle for the liberation of the imprisoned persons will be put forward according to the point of view of Hong Ha: considering that the case of Que Duong is solved, take this opportunity to continue the fight, requiring demanding the authorities to liberate Nguyen Khac Toan, Pham Hong Son and Nguyen Vu Binh.
4.3. Promoting the connection linkage between homeland and abroad
The connecting networking activities between the homeland democrats and progressives are carried out more intensively, through the trips of the key persons: Ha Sy Phu going to Hanoi (12-2003), Nguyen Thanh Giang going to the South (3-4-2004), Bui Minh Quoc to Hanoi (4-5-2004), Thanh Giang to Hai Phong (5-2-2004), Manh Son to the South (6-2004)… the “homeland-abroad” coordination of the struggle is pushed up, materialized by 2 aspects: first, the improved connection between Nguyen Thanh Giang and the U.S. embassy, second, between Hoang Minh Chinh and the Vietnamese reactionary forces abroad (mainly in France). The collected information shows that the linking activities between the U.S. and the progressive elements (through Thanh Giang) are concentrated on the issues of democracy, human rights (especially before the American U.S. House of Representatives passed the Vietnam Human Rights Act 2004 and the trial of Pham Que Duong).
Many signals indicate that the past activities of the progressive persons have been directed by the CIA or the American Embassy (for example through Thanh Giang or other hidden persons). Their activities have “plunged” but the “efficiency” has increased, the frequency of the contacts between Thanh Giang and the U.S. Embassy went upincreased, especially before the trial of Pham Que Duong, their activities are camouflaged very carefully, their opposition activities are tightly organized, smoothly coordinated, highly targeted, with clear concrete steps (pushing up the prestige of some revolutionary veterans, them then using them to “attack” the inner circle of the Party and the army). The U.S. evaluate that the overthrow of the present regime in Vietnam cannot be carried out as long as the U.S. have not built in Vietnam the so called American friendly “opposition force” and a Vietnamese “Gorbacheov”. From the adjustments of the direction, the mode of activities of the progressive force in the recent time, along with the relations and connections between the U.S. embassy and the progressive force focusing on Nguyen Thanh Giang, one can affirm: the U.S. use the democratic and progressive force as a card to propagate the idea of “democracy”, “pluralism» so that the Vietnamese society will gradually be “converted”, the masses will follow the so called “democratic movement” in Vietnam. When the CIA will find the political “symbolic figure” in Vietnam, this will be the core to build an “opposition force” to serve the American projects – at that moment, there will be an explosion of activities generating chaos and a generalized crisis – the purpose is to wipe out the communist party and the socialist regime in Vietnam.
4.4. The methods and activities of the progressive and reactionary forces have manyare multi- faceteds, are more efficient, they change very swiftly to follow the situation, the nature and the consequence will be more acute.
In 2003, the opposition activities of the progressive force almost “shrank and throttled braked» in order to observe following the arrests of Nguyen Vu Binh, Pham Que Duong and Tran Khue. One can say that “the democratic movement” has been beaten and suffered heavy losses. Nevertheless, the activities of these forces increased again in 2004, on some occasions they were pushed up (when the trials of Nguyen Vu Binh, Pham Que Duong, and Tran Khue were carried out), they adjusted their methods of opposition. From former open opposition, “democratic organization”, “anti corruption society”, now they turn to “underground” activities with flexible forms of “struggle”, more efficient, “hiding” and taking profit advantage of, and inexciting other forces (the relatives of the prisoners, the revolutionary veterans of war) for the struggle, they do not use the method of demonstration, overthrow, but they hide behind “general movements” to increase writings, attracting the war veterans, the old revolutionaries…consolidating the distribution of writings in order “to change the consciousness” of the population , leading them to fight to change the regime, especially leading the communist party “to evolve itself”.
The progressives continue to consolidate and build their forces, also attracting with them the persons asking seeking to be freedtheir freedom.
This is an issue that the progressives are focusing on from nowhere on out. This is illustrated very clearly by their policy of building up a “flag” within the Party, the State, among the persons having many accomplishments, a with high prestige, and a “democratic” point of view. In the same time, they want to build up local “democratic movements” which will have organized activities, better led, better controlled, not risky, not superficial. In reality, their forces have not developed a lot in the past, their number is not important, and is decreasing because some “blazing” personalities have been arrested. Moreover the key persons of the “movement” Hoang Minh Chinh, Hong Ha, Thanh Giang… are old and have disagreement. Seeing that their position and force do not allow them to build an organization opposing the communist party, they search to consolidate their position and attract new forces. Some signs show that the progressives in Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh city are actively deploying this policy.
4.6. The unity problem among the progressives, the reactionaries has been solved overcome to “unite for the struggle”.
The progressives, the reactionaries, the revisionists, the political opportunists and the disappointed elements will resolve their internal disagreements, they will coordinate to fight and expand the alliance with the reactionaries abroad and the enemy forces. In 2003, the disagreement within the progressive groups was very serious, especially between Thanh Giang and Hoang Minh Chinh. This is not a disagreement on the point of view, these two persons agree on the common objective, which is fighting and criticizing the Party, opposing the State. The problem is due to jealousy and disagreement on the strategy measures, the way of struggling for the “democratic movement”. Now, the disagreement has been gradually reconciled although not completely resolved. Due to the action of Hong Ha and Bui Minh Quoc, Hoang Minh Chinh and Thanh Giang agreed to put away their dissension disagreement to concentrate on the common struggle of the “movement”, especially on the defense of Pham Que Duong. Moreover, through the meetings between the members of the “democratic group” like Thanh Giang, Hong Ha, Son Tung and the key persons of the progressive forces, one can see that the main persons have reached a common voice in evaluation of the situation and the objective of struggling under the pretext of democracy, human rights, and corruption.
4.7. The determination to “revise the judgments” on all events within the Party from 1954 to until now, for example: “Nhan van Giai pham” (Humanist Literature- Masterworks), “the prosecution of dissents to the Party”, the land reform, the policies of the Party and the State after 1975.
Recently, some literature works have been distributed where the contents revise the trials, deny the accomplishments of the Party in the leading role of the Vietnamese revolution. The book of Nguyen Khac Huynh “Vietnam and the world in the 20th century”, the book of Nhat Hoa Khanh “meeting the poet To Huu at the house, 76 Phan Dinh Phung street” … are some examples. Nhat Hoa Khanh presents the “confidence” of the comrade To Huu, remorseful for his past activities; in reality the author borrowed “the hand” of a high ranking cadre of the Party to revise the proceedings “Nhan van- Giai pham” (Humanist Literature- Masterworks Literary works), “the proceedings of opposition to the Party”… in order to deny the former resolutions of the Party; he presented some documents that can be hardly verified in order to “explain” the intention of vilifying some present high ranking cadres of the Party, creating suspicion in the mind of the readers on the disagreements within the Party. The article “The souvenirs on of Uncle Ho” distorts the truth over the life of Uncle, frequently unhappy, the internal circle of the Party attacking each other, China, Soviet Union putting pressure forcing the Party to conduct the agrarian reform leading to errors… On the other hand, the hostile forces push upaccelerate writing propaganda, inexciting the attacks against the army and the 2nd Ministry Intelligence Department (Intelligence service) before the 10th Congress. All these affairs belong are parts and parcel to the enemy plot to split up the attention of the Party, busy to resolve the “internal problems”, and unable to concentrate on drawing the policy, choosing the persons, consolidating the organization, performing badly the task of preparing the 10th Congress.
Therefore the hostile forces will concentrate their troops, their capacity, connecting linking the homeland and the foreign elements to strongly, resolutely oppose and destroy the Party, the State and the army during the period of preparation of the 10th Congress in the 2nd half of 2005.
5. Some remarks and proposals
5.1. This is not the first time the hostile forces strongly attack the Party, the State and the army as gravely as today like today. These kinds of activities have occurred permanently consistently since for dozens of years. Especially certainly, these campaigns of opposition would usually grows reach its peak up before each Party Congress. Since the 5th Congress until today, our Party hais always remained awakealert, perspicaciously annihilates neutralized the schemes of the hostile forces and conducteds successfully the Congress successfully, renovated the country, firmly followed the direction of socialism.
Today, in the periodduring of the preparation of the 10th Congress, the enemy organizes the opposition campaign earlier than the previous times, with the much stronger support of from the U.S. and other enemy forces abroad, with a better planned coordination, and better relation closer between the homeland and foreign forces. The enemy’s policy is to go seek within the Party and to find the internal problems to and transform them into the starting point of attack for the campaign of opposition and to destroy against the Party, the State and the Aarmy.
5.2. When correlating our force and the enemy, the hostile forces actively use the spies, the reactionary, the progressive, the revisionists opposing the Party, the unsatisfied elements… within and outside the country to oppose on the important problems like such as the Western highlands, religions, human rights… and excite incite the opposition to meddle in our internal organization. Nevertheless, these dangerous elements represent only a certain number; they have no masses, no forces. Their number is less than 100. But thanks to the information technology, they can launch propaganda campaigns, in large scale, blowing up the dimension, the nature and the force, leading many people to believe that they are too very strong. In reality this is not the case.
With such a force, what is expecting the enemy expecting? They cannot dream of a “revolution” to overthrow the regime. Therefore, they hope that internal dissension will appear and error mistakes will appear when resolving the internal problems. As said by Bui Tin and Nguyen Gia Kieng, what they hope for is mostly is to inexcite the internal disorder, and mutual elimination, this now is the opportunity. The lesson from the Soviet Union shows that , with a very small group, the progressive, reactionary and revisionist elements within the Soviet Union Communist Party, which were made up of only some dozens persons, they were able to succeeded in wiping out the Soviet Union., Tthis is due to internal problems.
5.3. On our side, in the past years the country had a strong growth, the our position and strength on the international scene are recognized. The economy, and the culture of theand society are being developed; in particular our political foundations are basically consolidated throughout the ups and downs, the events and the complexity of the situation. Our Party is a strong Party, with united will and action, Iin particular it has the absolutely faithful armed forces, always ready to defend the party, the socialist regime and the people. That is why, when comparing our force with the enemy, it is a huge difference.
For that reason, to defend the Party, the regime, to defend the Fatherland and the people, to prepare well for the 10th Congress of the Party, we maintain the internal stability, not letting the hostile force inexcitinge and, dividing divide us, especially during the 10th Congress, we keep the principle of centralized democracy, not letting the external force (the enemy, the progressive, the revisionist, the unsatisfied, the persons who do not understand the situation…) leading or influencing influence tacitly clandestinely.
The Party, the State are firmly in control of the defense and security forces, closely manage the situation on all aspects, actively control the situation inside and outside the country, ready to take the initiative and face any eventuality. There are adequate measures, urgent and long term to basically resolve the hot points spots like such as the Western Highlands, the South West region, the North West region. We need to find a good solution to our the international relations, following along the two important axes of Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia, which is a close, life and death relationship;, and the axe of US-Vietnam-China. We need to keep the stability inof the lives of people, to develop the economy and the society.
