Soviets Funded Black “Freedom” Journal
American Survival ^ | April 22, 2014 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 06/04/2015 11:55:37 AM PDT by Ray76

Newly declassified documents from Operation SOLO, an FBI program to infiltrate the Communist Party of the United States, reveal that a journal called Freedomways, which was influential in the black community for decades, was subsidized by the Soviet and Chinese Communist Parties.

Freedomways grew out of a Soviet campaign, launched after the Russian revolution, to exploit the “Negro question” in the U.S. and manipulate blacks and members of other minority groups for Communist purposes. The goal was a “Soviet America.”

In 1981, a communist-inspired Black Liberation Army, with the help of the Weather Underground, waged a campaign of terrorism and murder that resulted in the deaths of two police officers and a Brinks guard.

An FBI memo dated March 3, 1959, which summarized a meeting between CPUSA officials and the Soviet Communist Party, reveals that CPUSA official James Jackson had asked Soviet officials about “the possibility of a Negro magazine dealing with theoretical questions.” Jackson was the party secretary in charge of “Negro and southern affairs.”

Freedomways came into being two years later.

Esther Jackson, wife of James Jackson, was a CPUSA member who served as managing editor of Freedomways.

The FBI says that Operation SOLO was launched because “America’s growing realization of the penetration of the U.S. government by the Soviets and the subsequent political debate over the role of communism in society became the focus of the day.”

Operation SOLO was a long-running FBI program to infiltrate the Communist Party of the United States and gather intelligence about its relationship to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, China, and other communist nations. It officially began in 1958 and ended in 1977, although Morris and Jack Childs, two of the principal agents in the operation, had been involved with the Bureau for several years prior. The files range from March 1958 to April 1966.

Here's a book from 1935 put out by these guys:

Happy Negroes in a Soviet America ruled by...blindingly white Russian apparatchiks

The soviets have been behind much of the decay in the USA. Wilson really loved communism. Obama was trained by communists. MLK was a communist stooge. Commie fingers are in every institution in modern academics and politics. It is a sick and sadistic belief system that the smart use to get power and the stupid believe to get free stuff. McCartney should have a statue next to the Washington monument.

This Communist pamphlet from 1928 was written by "John Pepper," aka Joseph Pogany, who would die a decade later in one of Stalin's purges.

As I mentioned on many occasions like this regarding the cultural degeneration of the US, there is no better explanation regarding the Soviet ties than that of Yuri Bezminov.
