SO, who is the Revolutionary Communist Party and what do they advocate? ETL cites their own website.
The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...
From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
“Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.”:
http://revcom.us/a/v20/1000-1009/1000/barw.htm
..............
Did they say they would like to see “a major crack in the system ...that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle.”
“wage a revolutionary ARMED struggle?”
Aren’t they the kind of subversive people the government (and Conyers) is paid to worry about?
What is CONYERS’ job? “#19 Subversive activities affecting the internal security of the United States. “
...................
IS THE FOX GUARDING THE HEN HOUSE?
Is Conyers protecting ACORN (an organization whose underhanded/criminal? deeds are so publicly known that they have become a national joke).
He was for it, then against it, then for it. Should such a confused man be chairing such an important committee as the House Judiciary Committee?
He defended ACORN in October 2008:
Mr. Conyers, who is known for his drive to continue investigating the Bush administration, previously defended ACORN. In October, he condemned an FBI voter fraud investigation targeting the group. He questioned whether it was politically motivated to hamper a voter-registration drive targeting groups likely to support Mr. Obama’s candidacy.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/mar/20/conyers-suggests-probe-of-acorn/
Then on March 19, 2009 John Conyers was enlightened:
John Conyers suggests a Congressional probe “after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008 presidential election.”
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/mar/20/conyers-suggests-probe-of-acorn/
Two weeks later, on May 4, Conyers’ neural synapses malfunction and he backs out of ACORN probe saying,
“Based on my review of the information regarding the complaints against ACORN, I have concluded that a hearing on this matter appears UNWARRANTED at this time.”
Meanwhile, in Nevada, just HOURS BEFORE Conyers’ made his “hearings unwarranted” statement-—
his fellow Democrats in Nevada, Secretary of State Ross Miller and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto dropped a bombshell.
ACORN and two former senior ACORN employees in the state, they announced, had been charged with a total of 39 felony counts related to voter registrations.

................
Conyers said WHAT?
Questioned by the Washington Times about his decision to go back on his decision, he said, “”The powers that be decided against it,”
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/26/conyers-backs-off-probe-of-acorn-practices/?feat=home_headlines
The “powers that be decided against it”? Is he hearing voices? Schizophrenic? HE was the “power that be” that decided ACORN should be investigated!

Conyers chickens out of ACORN probe
By Michelle Malkin • May 8, 2009 05:15 AM
http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/08/conyers-chickens-out-of-acorn-probe/
[On May 4, 2009] Democrat Rep. John Conyers backs down from his pledge to investigate ACORN fraud: Bok, bok, bok.
Matthew Vadum zeroes in on the right question: What happened in a mere two weeks to change Conyers’ mind? Did he get a call from friends of ACORN in high places? Did he get something else? Why drop the call for a congressional probe in the very same week that ACORN criminal charges have been filed in Nevada and Pennsylvania?
What gives? Or who gives?
***
Related ACORN news: $53 million taxpayer funds for ACORN since 1994 and now the group is eligible for up to $8 BILLION more, according to Kevin Mooney at the Examiner.

Is the fox guarding the hen house? The investigator needs to be investigated. Is this just the tip of the iceberg?
