September 12, 1905, a black day in history for America!

On this day, about 100 people, including Upton Sinclair, Jack London, Walter Lippman(Dir, Council on Foreign Relations), and Clarence Darrow, met in NYC, to plot the overthrow of American culture, including Christianity, and replace it with the teachings of Karl Marx. They named their new organization the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, later renamed League for Industrial Democracy.

Their plan? To infiltrate the education system, and ultimately, labor unions, churches, government, and all other American institutions, to promulgate Marxist/Socialist ideas into American society.

They started by organizing chapters at colleges & universities, to increase their numbers, then to use their influence to infiltrate the administrations & faculties; and also infiltrate the government.

The college chapters changed their name to Student League for Industrial Democracy (SLID) in 1933. This merged with the Communist National Student League in 1935 to create the popular front American Student Union. On January 1, 1960 the SLID changed its name to the Students for a Democratic Society.

Future members included Eugene Debs, W.E.B. Dubois (NAACP founder), Walter Reuther (UAW), John Dewey (Progressive Education Assoc., & American Assoc. of University Professors), Felix Frankfurter (SCOTUS),Franklin Roosevelt, Jr, Henry Morgenthau (econ Advisor to FDR), and several other influential people.

Their legacy can be seen today.


My Grandfather and his brothers tried to warn us of this dangerous group in the 1930’s/1940’s/1950’s.

He and his brothers, our uncles labelled these terrorists as progressives.

I was in my 50’s and visiting the town where I had grown up in. My closest/best friend in life took me to a railroad museum/City Museum and showed me published articles from/written by progressives for about 2 hours.

That was my wakeup call to Progressives!

Progressives are the most dangerous people to a free America back a 100+ years to today.

And too many today have no clue as to how we’ve arrived here, or why these ideas are so widely embraced by our younger generations.

You’re welcome.

And, yes, “Progressives” ARE terrorists at heart: Disagree with them, or even “not move fast enough”/”far enough” to suit them, and you see riots, vandalism, general thuggery, assassinations, and even bombings start breaking out.

Years back I was removing the covering placed on an old table and the padding included a very intact copy off The Rocky Mountain Times that had a front page story about the Supreme Court denying Sacco and Vanzetti’s final stay of execution. Still have it.

Wish I had its like covering so many prominent American communists down through the years who never faced the hangman ... especially those that infested FDR’s administration.

PS, the commies were behind the strikes at the ports in WW1 as well. Among others done under guise of labor unions.

Ultimately it’s why the US government made the deal with the Mob to let them have the Unions. Better the Mob than the Commies.

There’s an old editorial cartoon where a lad has just announced to his dad that he has decided for a life in organized crime.

“Government or private sector?” The dad asks.

The following, published in 1933, proudly describes the feats of the student socialists and the support they received from 'influencers' of the day.

"Infested" is such an apropos word.

...and as the title of the article indicates, the rats have been infesting for (over) a century!
