Great post, thanks. I was living & working in NYC in the 60s and 70s, when the SDS was in their hay day. I'm not sure if you have ever read their revolutionary manifesto, but it's important in that so much of what they planned decades ago is coming true. We're fighting raw communism, and I hope it isn't too late.

Thanks. No, I haven't read it, but am well familiar with its existence.

Too bad the prominent conservative, or simply patriotic, tv and radio commentators don't do a better job of explaining to their audiences the communist angle in so much of what is going today and over the past many decades.

Sean Hannity, for example, very rarely uses the 'C-word'. When he discusses Bill Ayers and/or the Weather Underground he only refers to them as "domestic terrorists".

Bad enough, you might think, yet it profoundly misses the 'big picture" point of what was going on then and to this day. In fact, the communist movement, in many ways, is stronger today than ever before. They just recently had a communist in the White House, for 8 years! A commie who appointed another commie head of the friggin CIA (John Brennan). We've got a communist mayor here in New York City. And even a communist pope!

CIA Director under President Obama, John Brennan

John Brennan Voted Communist in 1976, Then Entered CIA in 1980

Barack Obama’s CIA chief, John Brennan, told the Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus, on 15 September 2016, in Washington DC, that when he had applied in 1980 to join the CIA, he admitted to them that in the 1976 Presidential election, when Jimmy Carter was running against Gerald Ford, Brennan had voted instead for the candidate of the U.S. Communist Party, Gus Hall, and that he was then greatly relieved to find that this information didn’t cause rejection of his CIA-application.

This had happened 11 years before the 1991 end of the Cold War...”

"During the Cold War the CPUSA [Communist Party, USA] had a parallel underground structure, and a small number of people spied for Moscow.

Until the 1980s the party was receiving substantial amounts of Soviet funding, says Klehr, money that the FBI knew about and tracked."
