Ping, good links and sources.
Wow. Excellent overview! Bad for my weak heart right now, though... I'll spread it around. This man scares the pi$$ outta me.
I hate the MSM. We wouldn't get such scum for Dem nominees if they would do their jobs. They will be the destruction of this country.
Didn't mean to give you a heart attack, LOL! I'm sure we'll all rest easier once we beat Kerry.
It's Kerry's fault.
Hey, I like the sound of that!
It's nice to know there's something that's not Bush's fault--LOL!
we do not want this man commander in chief of our children......WAKE UP OUT THERE....even if you are lurking....get a grip and give a future to our kids....John Kerry had 20 years to introduce his own legislation to protect this country where is it...why would you think he would do anything now!!!!!!
World Federalism has all the earmarks of a humanist religion whose higher authority is the State instead of God. Believers have always favored increasing state power, and always put international power over national, state or local government.
I agree. Kerry's father certainly had a global government orientation, and by all accounts Kerry and his sister at the UN follow their father's foreign policy views. Kerry made that comment in the 1970s about subordinating US military decisions to the UN, and more recently he made the "global test" comment (which he apparently made before he unmade it, since immediately afterward he claimed he didn't make it, contrary to my lying ears).
Note to add to the article: I just noticed that one of the alleged ex-CIA agents who assisted Kerry's CIA-drug investigation, David MacMichael, is now with Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. At the time of Kerry's investigation MacMichael was linked to the International Center for Development Policy (mentioned above in the article) and the Council for Hemispheric Affairs (COHA), and in connection with this was investigated by the FBI for suspicious contacts at the Nicaraguan embassy.
From the snip of the latest bin Ladin tape I watched yesterday, he’s definitely on Hanoi John’s side. Parts of it looked like a Kerry for President commercial.

I was being sarcastic.
Kerry is a ****head.
He was the "star witness" for the Sandinistas, testifying in the World Court against the United States in 1984 saying (among other things):
"I do not believe that there is Nicaraguan government involvement or use of Nicaraguan territory in any significant way for the supply of arms or other war materiel."MacMichael was also a source for Patti Davis' book, Deadfall, about U.S. involvement in Nicaragua, along with other notable contributors: actor Mike Farrell; screenwriter David Seltzer; Hollywood producer and veteran cinematographer Haskell Wexler; and Eric Hamburg, a former legislative aide to Sen. John Kerry
Interesting--Farrell, who is with Human Rights Watch, was linked to the MoveOn.org affiliate Win Without War and Joseph Wilson's efforts there, as Wilson mentions in his book.
If there is a leftist cause, you can usually find Farrell there. He's been a vocal opponent of capital punishment for years. Other organization affiliations per news articles are below.
As of 1995:
*Co-chair of the Committee to Save Mumia Abu-Jamal
As of 1998:
*spokesperson for CONCERN/America, an international refugee aid and development organization
*co-chair of Human Rights Watch's Western region branch
*goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees.
"So, true to form, the radical [Tabankin] was ready for a radical change. She looked around and realized that she had the biggest number of friends living in Los Angeles--Hayden and Fonda, actors Mike Farrell and Shelley Fabares, liberal guru Stanley Sheinbaum, producer Norman Lear."(snip)
As Mike Farrell, Tabankin's closest friend on the West Coast, maintains...
(snip)
Tabankin is also that rarity in leftist politics--a serious activist with a sense of humor. A case in point, Mike Farrell recalls, was a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua they made together in 1982 where they were surrounded by "Americans who were more full of the revolution than the Sandinistas. And after a while, we'd heard so much rhetoric that at one point Margie looked at me and said, ' This is enough to turn you into a right-winger.' "
*"A one-time nationally known campus radical during the '60s, first woman president of the National Student Assn., and head of VISTA during the Carter Administration, she [directed] two high-profile progressive philanthropies--the ARCA Foundation, which relied on the R. J. Reynolds family fortune, and the Barbra Streisand Foundation, which the singer created in 1986."
Another key group.
John Kerry brings in former communist agent to slime Vietnam vets and smear Sinclair Broadcast Group
-------
Desperate to silence the Vietnam vets who oppose his candidacy John Kerry asked William S. Lerach, heavy Democratic Party donor, political thug and enemy of the First Amendment, to deal with the situation.
True to form this high-powered lawyer (some would say extortionist) went to work by bringing in Fenton Communications. Lerach called a press conference where he used Fenton Communications to falsely charge Sinclair directors with "breaches of fiduciary duties".
Missing from the conference were any references or questions concerning Fentons. Perhaps no one, especially Lerach's media friends, wanted to draw attention to the company's communist sympathies and links.
The company was started by David Fenton, a Marxist-Leninist who has been on the payroll of the Soviet-backed Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola and the Soviet-Backed Maurice Bishop who tried to turn Grenada into another Cuba.
He was also on the payroll FMLN (Farabundo Marti Liberation Front), a pro-Soviet Marxist-Leninist terrorist group that murdered thousands of El Salvadorians. Never to turn away a dollar from any friend of the Soviet Union, our Mr Fenton cheerfully worked for the Soviet-supported Sandinistas who planned to turn Nicaragua into a Central American base for the Soviets.
That every one of these so-called clients were fanatical enemies of the US who wished for its destruction was just one more reason for the patriotic Mr Fenton to work for them. You see, Fenton hates the US with an equal if not surpassing passion.
In the sixties the liberty-loving Fenton supported the Viet Cong, including the systematic atrocities they committed. To demonstrate his belief in democratic values he actively supported the murderous conquest of South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Yep, our Mr Fenton is a real charmer.
Right up to the present, Fenton has been relentless in his support for America-hating organizations. He has become deeply involved with the CIP (Center for International Policy). This organization was set up in 1975 with the support of Orlando Letelier, human rights activist and KGB agent. Letelier, like Fenton, never concerned himself with communist human rights violations, particularly in Castro's Cuba.
The CIP has strong links to the Institute for Policy Studies, a Washington-based Marxist-Leninist group that acted as a front for the KGB during the Cold War.
The America-hating CIP's main function has been to act as a mouthpiece for Central and South American Marxist groups. It is also one of Castro's strongest defenders.
Since the war on terror the CIP and 'Fenton the Patriot' have come together and set up the IPIP (Iraq Policy Information Program). The aim of the IPIP is to deligitimise the liberation of Iraq and subvert the war on terror. After all, according to the CIP and Fenton the US is the real terrorist.
Naturally, these activities require money. And who is helping to fund these fifth columnists? Why George Soros and Theresa Heinz.
So why did John Kerry allow Lerach to put Fenton on the campaign's payroll. Well let me guess. If like Kerry and Lerach you despise and fear the First Amendment there is nothing like someone with Fenton's communist background and experience to help assassinate it and smear your enemies.
There is also the fact that Kerry and Lerach, as so many in the Kerry campaign, share, to varying degrees, Fenton's loathing for America and his distaste for his fellow Americans. Actually, that's not quite fair, to patriotic Americans. The only thing the odious likes of Fenton and Lerach have in common with these Americans is that they were born in America and speak with US accents — nothing else.
Fenton could very well be outraged at what I've written (lefties are particularly adept at faking outrage, especially when they've been exposed) and fervently deny that he was ever a communist agent.
Let me be clear on this point: if anyone takes money from Marxist terrorist groups or communist regimes in order to advance these groups or regimes' ideological and strategic interests they automatically become a communist agent.

Thanks for the excellent information. I'd seen Fenton Communications mentioned before as the Sandinistas' PR firm but hadn't heard about most of the other stuff.
