Based on lies he commits a foreign policy that leads quickly to a world destroying nuclear war. The voters must be made clear that: 1. Reagan lies about the proportion of power N.A.T.O. - Warsaw Pact. Though it is insanity to attach value to proportion of power with opponents that each can destroy the world many times, the truth is that the N.A.T.O .. was already always and still is stronger than the Warsaw Pact and that with nuclear- as well as conventional weapons. (Proving documents enclosed.)* 2. Based on those lies, -so on the so-called weakness of the N.A.T.0.-, he forces up the nuclear armament in Europe and the U.S.A. still higher, which is promptly answered with still more Warsaw Pact nuclear weapons, thus leading the world quickly to a nuclear war, instead of making serious disarmament-attempts. 3. He turned out to believe in the restricted nuclear war, which is provoked clearly in Europe by his unnecessary cruise- and Pershing-missiles. That European policy is criminal. Restricted nuclear war is insanity. The U.S.A. will also be destroyed. He turned out to realize the all destroying of a nuclear war between N.A.T.O. and Warsaw Pact so little, that he dared to make a microphone-joke on ,that dreadful possibility recently. 4. That also for the U.S.A. fatal lie-policy is more important than any other election-subject and for every right-thinking American more than sufficient reason to vote Mondale. 5. Reagan's lie-mentality got also clear by his lies about the Korean airplane, which really turned out to be at an espionage-flight. For good understanding: The irrunense majority of the West European population, -including myself-, detests the U.S.S.R.-society and is thoroughly conscious of the fact that the U.S.A. protected Europe twice from the fatal termination of two world-wars. The nevertheless growing anti-American feeling among that population is principally the result of that Reagan-policy, based on lies. Lies that were clearly generally exposed in West Europe already soon, but obviously not clearly and generally enough by a great deal in the U.S.A. •PtUPARil'16 THE l)OCUMel"\TS FOf<. SEttDiNG OFf.
