The Baader Meinhof Complex Page #4

Yesterday five arrests were made:

Attorney Horst Mahler,

student Peggy Schnau...

In the young woman's handbag,

police found a Belgian pistol.

The charges:
possession of guns,

falsification of identity papers,

car theft, burglary,

theft and armed robbery.

In Mhlheim, Dortmund, and Konstanz,

the prisoners face similar charges.

Show me your identity papers.

Get back!

...further threats of violence...

The trial of Astrid Berger began today.

According to a study by

the Allensbacher Institute...

are sympathetic to the RAF.

That's about 7 million people.

Which makes finding

them a lot more difficult.

Lobster soup.

So we plan to

computerise identity papers.

I'll explain by

giving you an example.

Underground terrorists naturally

hide their identities from authority.

Without the new ID card...

no bank account.

Now they'll find it hard

to rent somewhere to live.

Everything will require

the new cards. Gas, water, electricity.

In Frankfurt alone, 16,000

customers usually pay bills in cash.

We will no longer accept cash.

All customers will have to use their new ID.

No ID:
no health care, either.

- And then?

Then we take it further. For example,

No ID:
no driving license,

no child support payments.

If everyone has to have an ID,

the last handful who don't: suspects.

That is a mathematical certainty.

In the long term it does

nothing to smash heads.

Or, as some would prefer,

to cut heads off.

Not the police,

but political powers

resistant to change,

allow terrorism to develop.

That is my opinion.

Oh, and say hello to

the minister for me.

Sh*t!

Floor it!

Halt!

Freeze!

Hands up! You too!

Go! Go! Petra, go!

Drop your weapons!

Kiss my arse!

Stop, girl! Freeze! Hands up!

Hello, Werner. You're back early.

Excuse me, this is my house.

You said one night only.

Oh, you'll have your way.

We'll be gone tomorrow.

Well, then. Tomorrow.

...two people, a man and

a woman, ran a police roadblock...

What's wrong?

That's Petra's car.

The woman was killed

in the shootout that followed.

She opened fire when ordered

to lay down her weapon.

Sh*t.

This is war.

- Now we kill a pig.

Cold-blooded murder.

Obviously they're shooting to kill.

They'll be hunting us all now.

- We must attack the cops directly.

Shoot down their helicopters!

Blow up their stations!

That goes against our policy.

- I sh*t on the policy!

The armed fight against Imperialists...

is against the US military presence

in Germany and in West Berlin.

We need to re-think our stategies.

- Do you think we need better plans?

We need more safety precautions.

Actions in cities we

don't know well are unwise.

What happened to Petra must not re-occur.

- F***-ups like that...

are not caused by bad planning.

- It went wrong. It was a mistake.

Her mistake! Not the group's.

People must follow the plans.

It was not the group's fault!

The plans are all over the place.

Made up as we go along...

Nobody questions why they go wrong.

- You c*nt!

Your idea of emancipation

is the freedom to shout at men!

Baby, you know that's nonsense.

General Daniel Chase,

Chief-of-staff at the Pentagon, explains:

The US Air Force

does not bomb...

targets south of 17 degrees latitude

"For the mass-murderers

of Vietnam...

West Germany and West Berlin

should not be safe bases.

They must know that their crimes

against the Vietnamese people...

have created bitter enemies.

That there is no place in the world

safe from attack by

revolutionary Guerilla units. "

Offical Statement on bombing.

"We demand an end to

the bombing of Vietnam.

We demand the withdrawal

of US troops from Indochina.

We demand an end to the

naval blockade of North Vietnam. "

Police minister Herbert

Schoner was shot dead.

Two shots, one in the heart.

Also wounded was 25-year old

Manfred Fichtner from Kiel.

...in Hamburg, policeman

Heinz Eckart was shot...

"We carry out attacks on

judge and state lawyers

in retaliation against them

for holding political prisoners.

We demand that these laws are repealed.

We have no other means

to enforce our demands.

Petra Schelm Brigade. "

Police headquarters in

Augsburg were attacked today.

Five policemen were injured.

An attack in Munich followed.

Experts are searching for

the remains of the explosive device.

The senior public prosecutor has

offered 10,000 Marks reward.

The car is being examined

by Federal Police specialists.

A bomb tore apart the car of

High Court Judge Wolfgang Buddenberg,

as his wife started the engine.

Judge Buddenberg ruled against

the Baader-Meinhof group.

His wife remains in hospital

with serious injuries...

but is out of intensive care.

Sh*t.

We need more grinders.

...there are roadblocks on all

streets near the city center.

Heavily armed police are everywhere

Axel Springer publishing house.

- A bomb will go off in 5 minutes time.

Evacuate the building.

- Who are you?

Is it the nutcase again?

- Please stop calling us.

Stupid pig!

We demand that Springer newspapers

stop publishing lies about

liberation movements of the third world,

particularly about the

movement to free Palestine.

Our actions will only cease

when our demands are met.

The Federal Government condemns these

attacks with indignation and abhorrence.

Federal Chancellor Brandt called

the attacks "cowardly and devious".

Springer accepted the risk

that the bomb threat was genuine

rather than lose profits

by evacuating their workers.

For capitalism,

profit is everything,

people, who create it, are dirt.

We are deeply sorry

that workers were injured...

What do you suggest?

They can see that the

government is under pressure.

We strike the water.

- Pardon?

When you strike the water,

the fish surface...

I need the entire police force,

detectives, uniformed, all of them.

For one day, under the command of the

Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

But that would be...

That would be at least 130,000 men.

That's right.

And all the helicopters, too.

And to close the borders.

We hit the entire

Federal Republic in one day.

That'll drive the fish

up and into our nets.

Cars are being searched

all motorways and arterial roads,

causing long delays

at border crossings.

All available officials

in West Germany are taking part.

By noon today, police

in Hamberg checked 15,000 cars.

It's a police state,

just like you said.

The public supports these measures.

It's not looking

good for the Revolution.

Shut up! Urban guerrillas operate

in the rift between the state and the people!

Checkpoints have been set up at all

public buildings, airports, and sporting events.

Vehicles were searched. Photographs of

possible RAF members were distributed.

As Mao Tse-tung once said...

you've heard it before...

but I'll remind you today. He said:

"When the enemy slanders us,

that is good.

Because it proves,

that there is a clear

line between them and us.

When the enemy paints

us in the blackest colors,
