      Only Jesus Christ blood can cleanse us of are sins come to Jesus Christ today
      Romans 6:23
      For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
      Come to Jesus Christ today
      Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
      Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void.
      The Holy Spirit can lead you guide and confort you through it all
      Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
      Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

      @@eaglesfan226 per due motivi: i) volevano una rivoluzione comunista, secondo loro compimento della lotta armata partigiana in Italia, e la politica di Moro (assieme a Berlinguer) allontanava il PCI dalle posizioni più estremiste, avvicinava la politica italiana alla tanto detestata socialdemocrazia tedesca; l'idea del compromesso storico, comunque, veniva direttamente dal PCI di Berlinguer e difatti le BR consideravano Berlinguer un traditore anzi già lo stesso Togliatti era secondo loro un "moderato", al confronto di Secchia e dell'area più rivoluzionaria del PCI del primo dopoguerra; ii) per processare un rappresentante del regime democristiano e Moro probabilmente era l'obiettivo più facile, non aveva l'auto blindata e abitava in una zona relativamente periferica di Roma in quel periodo, in via del forte trionfale al numero 79. La retorica del processo alla DC, al regime democristiano, era un mantra in quel periodo, ricordiamo anche gli intellettuali come Pasolini che ne parlavano. Un processo a un gerarca che avrebbe confessato cose indicibili e a causa di questo processo il popolo sarebbe insorto. Biosgna pensare che negli anni '70 c'era la DC (il regime al governo del Paese), il PCI ma c'era anche la variegata area della sinistra extra parlamentare, dell'autonomia e dei vari movimenti, che avevano buone ragioni per avercela sia con la DC sia con il PCI, essendo più a sinistra di quest'ultimo.

    Zeitgeist of those rebellious days ❗
    Inspired by romanticised rebel leaders like Che Guivera who dared to change the status quo.
    Young working class intellectuals all over the world became radical revolutionaries.
    Revolting against social inequality and injustice.
    Revolting against the Vietnam war and the possibility of a third world war.
    Alas !
    The Vietnam war ended.
    Mao died.
    China became a capitalist republic!
    USSR collapsed
    Western capitalism didn't die as hoped.
    Revolutionary idealism weakened.
    Nevertheless
    Resistance will be Resurrected

      Aldo Moro was famous for a first compromise in 1963, which leads for the first time the socialist party at the government of Italy, in his first government. At the beginning of '70 in Italy the communist party became the first party of this type in Europe and in 1976 was very near to win the elections in that year, creating political instability in the italian system, so that Aldo Moro tried a second compromise, to obtain a government with the support of the communist party. Of course neither Red Brigades, which played for a communist revolution, nor USA and Europe were happy of such attempt by Moro. In addition, when Aldo Moro was foreign minister (1968-1974) it held a political not full compliant to what expected from USA, France, Great Britain and Europe. Kissinger's hatred of Moro was famous.

The Moro's car was not armored and in 1978 he lived in a suburban area of Rome. Anyway, the kidnapping technique was quite similar to that of Schleyer in Germany (October 1977).
