            Reaching Out
            4 January 1980

“Polish and Czechoslovak people in the People’s Republic are safe and happy. Every single person knows they are safe because every single person is equal. Here, the proletariat are liberated. Elsewhere, they are not. In the West, our people are abused by the oppressive west, they are rejected by the people who are there because of where they are from. It is our duty as their motherland to protect them. They are not protected where they are, so we must reach out and help.”

The words of General Secretary of Poland Wojciech Jaruzelski spread around Polish circles today, with First Secretary of Czechoslovakia Gustáv Husák echoing these commands. "Our people have always been on the sour side of history, but as our nation succeeds, so shall our people, even those outside the fatherland."

The Ministry of Oversees Citizens (MinOC) seeks to reconnect Poles and Czechoslovaks with the fatherland. On the surface, they claim to promote language and culture within ethnic Czechoslovak and Polish communities globally. The true motive of the ministry, however, is to realign ethnics and citizens' allegiance from the country they live in back to the fatherland, and to grow the nation's influence internationally.

All Polish Embassies will hoist a banner tomorrow embodying a vertical flag with 'For The Fatherland' written in the three national languages. These banners will also be hoisted up within the nation.
