Popieluszko's name figured prominently on a list of 69 priests that the regime accused of crossing the line from the church into politics. When police claimed to have discovered explosives and anti-Communist literature in Popieluszko's apartment, the priest declared that the officers knew exactly where to look because they had planted the evidence. The authorities did not press charges against Popieluszko but continued the campaign by other means. Under the pseudonym Jan Rem, Government Press Spokesman Jerzy Urban wrote a scathing article in the weekly Tu i Teraz calling Popieluszko a "modern-day Rasputin...
...Vietnamese gangs pose as anti-Communist groups seeking freedom for their homeland, witnesses said, but they actually extort money from Vietnamese merchants in the U.S. They torture their rivals and threaten or kill journalists who try to expose them.

When he did not, she said quietly, "gunmen came into where he worked and shot him to death." Another witness claimed that former South Vietnamese army officers led by Ky run a 1,000-member Vietnamese crime network...
...country's extreme right, on the other hand, took strong exception to the peace mission. The secret Anti-Communist Army, one of El Salvador's death squads, named Duarte as a target for execution.

South African Foreign Minister Roelof ("Pik") Botha said that the Mozambican government and its prime adversary, the anti-Communist Mozambique National Resistance movement, have agreed to a South Africa-sponsored cease-fire proposal. The plan calls for the M.N.R. to recognize President Samora Machel's regime...
Indeed, Moon is in some ways quintessentially American. He was tortured in several communist prison camps and was once left for dead on a bloody snowbank in Dac Dong, but he survived to become an immigrant millionaire. A devout anti-communist, Moon's speeches frequently echo not only of one of his heroes, Douglas MacArthur, but also of earlier American patriots. One of his recent statements: "I am even willing to give my life, if that will ensure that the nation and world survive and do God's will" echoes of Nathan Hale...
