Thanks for posting the additional information on Revolutionary Communist Party and Workers World Party's front groups. There is some overlap between the list of supporters for The World Can't Wait and those listed as supporting Refuse Fascism in the original post. Here are some of The World Can't Wait's supporters:

World Can't Wait

A comprehensive list of WCW's individual and organizational endorsers can be viewed on the WCW website. Among these supporters are: the After Downing Street anti-war coalition, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Aris Anagnos, the ANSWER coalition of New York City, Ed Asner, Bill Ayers, Harry Belafonte, Medea Benjamin, Michael Berg, William Blum, Bob Bossie, Ward Churchill, Code Pink, John Conyers, Carl Dix of the Revolutionary Communist Party, Michael Eric Dyson, Keith Ellison, Eve Ensler, Jodie Evans, Ralph Fertig, Jane Fonda, Gold Star Families for Peace, Mara Verhayden-Hilliard, the Islamic Association of America, the Islamic Circle of North America, Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jackson Jr., Mumia Abu Jamal, Ali Khan, C. Clark Kissinger, Frances Kissling, Michael Lerner, Cynthia McKinney, Mark Crispin Miller, the National Lawyers Guild, Armando Navarro, Not In Our Name, Major Owens, Sean Penn, Harold Pinter, Progressive Democrats of America, Michael Ratner, Rep. Bobby Rush, Susan Sarandon, Al Sharpton, Cindy Sheehan, Martin Sheen, Gloria Steinem, Lynne Stewart, Gore Vidal, Alice Walker, Maxine Waters, Leonard Weinglass, Cornel West, and Howard Zinn.

Not in Our Name (NION) was another RCP front from the Bush era.

They had some others, including Refuse And Resist and Vietnam Veterans Against the War Anti-Imperialists. The 2nd was an offshoot of Kerry’s, also communist, VVAW group. Don’t know if they or the other groups they had are still around or not. These commie orgs, as you know, have new front groups popping up all the time, replacing other fronts. For example, the one you mention here, Refuse Fascism. That’s a new one to me.

Upon review, I see three biologists on the list. This particular group does appeal more to activists with a humanities background, but there are other front groups that target scientists and economists and business people.

Yes, if the IRS seriously investigates Ayers, it will bring him down, along with some even more prominent names in the Chicago area.

I went to that website and looked up the address for World Can't Wait's national office:

National Office

305 West Broadway, #185 New York NY 10013

Email: info@worldcantwait.org

Phone: 646-807-3259

http://www.worldcantwait.net/

In the original post, I mentioned:

Refuse Fascism promoted its upcoming January 20 protests by taking out a full-page ad in the New York Times on January 4, 2017. Signed by many of the same names appearing on the group’s Call to Action, including West, Dix, and Ayers, the ad declared, “Our only recourse now is to act together outside normal channels. Every faction within the established power structure must be forced to respond to what we do--creating a situation where the Trump/Pence regime is prevented from ruling.” The ad solicited donations online or payable by check to “Alliance for Global Justice”, with “refusefascism” indicated in the memo, to be mailed to a UPS Store mailing address of 305 West Broadway #185 in New York City.

The reason I bothered including this detail is because when I was researching the VVAW, I noticed a lot of these groups would share addresses.

About 10 years or so ago I came across a website that provides info on who owns a particular website. And the owner of the WCW site was C.C.Kissinger., a longtime leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party. WCW has, or had?, a spokesperson named Sunsara Taylor. She appeared on both Hannity and Colmes and the O’Reily Factor years ago. O’Reily appeared to have no clue who she was and/or what and who she represented. On H&C she actually wore a t-shirt with a large communist hammer & sickle on it. The only response from Hannity was, “what’s that on your shirt”?. I don’t believe he pursued it any further than that.

"Ayers and Dohrn, leading members of the Weather Underground, had served as supporters of the “Sara Olson Defense Fund Committee,” along with such luminaries as Keith Ellison, now a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota." Well isn't that interesting. . .

Good question. The Department of Defense is funding them because they're helping MIT develop high-tech fiber material:

Manufacture NY and FIT partner to bring revolutionary textile innovation to New York

The partnership, named Advanced Functional Fibers of America (AFFOA), has won a national competition for federal funding to create the latest Manufacturing Innovation Institute. It is designed to accelerate innovation in high-tech, U.S.-based manufacturing involving fibers and textiles. This is the eighth Manufacturing Innovation Institute established to date, and the first to be headquartered in the Northeast. The headquarters will be established in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in proximity to the MIT campus. . .The new initiative will receive $75 million in federal funding out of a total of $317 million though cost sharing among the Department of Defense, industrial partners, venture capitalists, and state government funding. The funding will cover a five-year period and will be administered through the new, independent, nonprofit organization set up for the purpose. The partnership, which will focus on both developing new technologies and training the workforce needed to operate and maintain these production systems, also includes a network of community colleges and professional development institutes.

Manufacture New York Blossoms in Brooklyn

Last month, MNY became part of the U.S. Department of Defense and Massachusetts Institute for Technology’s sweeping $315 million public-private project called the Revolutionary Fibers and Textiles Manufacturing Innovation Institute aimed at keeping the country at the forefront of fiber and textiles innovation. It will be located at MIT’s Sloan School of Management in Cambridge.

Under the banner Advanced Functional Fabrics of America, the consortium comprises firms from several industries and fields, including fashion groups VF Corp., New Balance and Nike and textile manufacturers Milliken & Co., Buhler Quality Yarns and Inman Mills. The project also encompasses 52 companies and 32 universities, colleges and other schools, including the Fashion Institute of Technology.

This sounds like it may be related to this DoD project:

DoD Announces Award of New Advanced Tissue Biofabrication Manufacturing Innovation Hub in Manchester, New Hampshire

Headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, ARMI is part of continuing efforts to help revitalize American manufacturing and incentivize companies to invest in new technology development in the United States. The highly competitive process resulted in ARMI’s selection to lead the Advanced Tissue Biofabrication (ATB) Manufacturing USA Institute. The award of $80 million in federal funding will be combined with over $214 million contributed by the winning consortium, made up of industry, state and local governments, universities, community colleges, and non-profit organizations located across the country. The ATB institute, with founding industrial and academic partners in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, California, Colorado, Washington, Arizona, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland, seeks to organize the current fragmented domestic capabilities in tissue biofabrication technology and better position the U.S. relative to global competition.

Biofabrication is an innovative manufacturing industry segment at the intersection of biology-related research, computer science, materials science and engineering that is creating state-of-the-art manufacturing innovations in biomaterial and cell processing, bioprinting, automation and non-destructive testing technologies for critical Department of Defense and novel commercial use. ARMI, Inc. will integrate the diverse and fragmented collection of industry practices and institutional knowledge across many disciplines to realize the potential of a robust biofabrication manufacturing ecosystem. Technologies ripe for significant evolution within the ATB institute include, but are not limited to, high-throughput culture technologies, 3D biofabrication technologies, bioreactors, storage methodologies, non-destructive evaluation, real-time monitoring/sensing, and detection technologies.

ATB joins the Manufacturing USA institute network which is a bipartisan program that brings together industry, academia, and government to co-invest in the development of world-leading manufacturing technologies and capabilities. Each Manufacturing USA institute focuses on a technology area critical to future competitiveness—such as 3D printing, integrated photonics, or smart sensors. Across the Manufacturing USA institutes, the federal government has committed $860 million, which has been matched by $1.8 billion in non-federal investment. Together, the Manufacturing USA institutes are already enhancing U.S. competitiveness in advanced manufacturing—from helping Youngstown, OH attract over $90 million in new manufacturing investments to its region and train 14,000 workers in the fundamentals of 3D printing for businesses, to supporting companies like X-FAB in Lubbock, Texas, upgrade to cost-competitive, next-generation semiconductors and sustain hundreds of jobs.

The ATB Manufacturing USA institute includes:

Forty-seven industrial partners, including Abbott, Autodesk, Becton Dickinson, Celularity, DEKA Research & Development, GenCure, Humacyte, Lonza, Medtronic, Rockwell Automation, and United Therapeutics.

Twenty-six academic and academically affiliated partners, including Arizona State University, Boston University, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rutgers, Stanford University, the University of Florida, the University of Minnesota, the University of New Hampshire, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Yale University.

Fourteen government and nonprofit partners, including FIRST, the State of New Hampshire, and manufacturing extension partnerships in multiple states.

So the entity involved in the Manufacture New York project (called the Manufacture Foundation) is a "charity" in the broad sense of being a nonprofit, but the grant they received is oriented towards research and development, to be more precise. Which is fine in itself, but when their CEO organizes this type of protest activity, it raises an eyebrow about whether DoD should be giving money to this type of group.

That is one of the strange paradoxes of the Marxist movement. Marx’s goal was to redistribute the wealth of capitalist corporations to the proletariat, but since he believed in Hegelian dialectic, he saw capitalist monopoly as a step towards a communist revolution. By the logic of dialectic, owners of international corporations can still see themselves as revolutionaries as long as they’re using their wealth to fund charitable causes—or, taking a more cycnical approach, they can see revolutionaries as tools to help them establish a monopoly by crushing competitors. And so we find entities like the UN and George Soros, who are at the center of the globalist movement, backing anti-globalist anarchist groups. As for the Muslim backing, I think wealthy Muslims see anti-globalists and other revolutionary groups as pawns to play against the EU and America, so they’re taking over the role of sponsorship of the left previously filled by state sponsors like the Soviet Union and Cuba. Which isn’t to say there aren’t any state sponsors left—China is the biggest one that is operating largely under the radar right now—just that some of these networks are transnational in scope, in the spirit of Marx’s First International.

Capital Research Center publishes some excellent research. I know they worked with Project Veritas on that video; I think they’re formally distinct, though, with different mission scopes.

Dohrn did plant a bomb that killed Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell and wounded several other police officers in San Francisco. Ayers planted some other bombs:

Bill Ayers

In June 1969, the Weathermen took control of the SDS at its national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary.[8] Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket affair confrontation between labor supporters and the Chicago police.[13] The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.[14] (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970. . .After the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion in 1970, in which Weatherman member Ted Gold, Ayers's close friend Terry Robbins, and Ayers's girlfriend, Diana Oughton, were killed when a nail bomb being assembled in the house exploded, Ayers and several associates evaded pursuit by law enforcement officials. Kathy Boudin and Cathy Wilkerson survived the blast. Ayers was not facing criminal charges at the time, but the federal government later filed charges against him.[7] Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972, as he noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days.

He also helped plan various bombings. FBI agent Larry Grathwohl testified that Ayers once complained during a Weathermen meeting that the group needed stronger leadership because they were relying on people like Dohrn to not only plan the bombings but also plant the bombs, when she should only have to plan them, Ayers said. Ayers and Dohrn were part of a core group that planned terrorist activity:

Bill Ayers

According to a federal indictment, a smaller group, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Linda Evans, Erik Mann, Howard Machtinger, Diana Oughton and Mark Rudd, met secretly in Flint on December 30, 1969 at the Parish House of Sacred Heart Convent to set up a central committee. It was modeled after Lenin’s democratic centralism. The Weather central committte was to direct underground bombings nationwide from New York, Chicago, Detroit and Berkeley aimed at police, military, university and commercial targets. There was also talk of assassinations. The Liberation News Service reported, “Part of armed struggle, as Dohrn and others laid it down, is terrorism. Political assassination… and… violence…were put forward as legitimate forms of armed struggle.[4].”

Eric Mann, soon became an SDS defector and a Flint Police informant. He reported a man dressed as a priest distributing 200 sticks of dynamite in the parking lot to drivers of cars with license plates from New York, Washington, Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania, including Theodore Gold, New York[5].

Yes, many times these groups are just the same people with new names. Refuse and Resist! was one of the members of the NION coalition; they dissolved in 2006. VVAW-AI was formed from a faction of the VVAW that had been taken over by the Revolutionary Union, which became the Revolutionary Communist Party; VVAW-AI is still around.

Right. As long as he doesn’t assign the same idiot that he sent to the ninth Circuit Court to argue the immigration ban case before them, because he was an idiot from the Obama administration, who deliberately lost the case for him and didn’t even bother to mention constitutionality. We don’t need more of that.

Been infiltrating since Wilson administration. Made a laughingstock of Sen. McCarthy, who was, by the way, absolutely correct; the government WAS full of communists. They change their names from generation to generation, and they’re not necessarily aligned with Russia, anymore, but their object is the same-— one world government, totalitarianism; the very thing they’re scaring college kids into accusing President Trump of.
