CHICAGO — About 300 anti-war activists crowded into the basement of the Teamsters Union’s headquarters on Saturday to hear organizers from all over the country describe their plans to disrupt the Democratic National Convention this August. Joe Biden’s backing of Israel since Hamas’s October 7 attack has turned these left-wing radicals against their own party.

Somewhere a Babylon Bee author now has to throw away his idea for a satirical article.

We don’t call their “peace” logo the footprint of the American chicken or their two finger “peace” sign the footprint of the two-toed American chicken for nothing.

Muslim activists chant: Death to Israel! Death to America!

To which Biden says: They have a point.

They are all the same: Leftists.

Like the American Communists who were virulently against US involvement in the European war in 1941, until their real motherland was invaded by the Nazis, and overnight, they changed their tune.

Chicago's Hyde Park 'democrats' have always stood against our country. Antisemitism is their newest chorus on an ugly old song...

I hope they do. It could be Chicago 1968 all over again. Idiot radicals then saved the country by giving us Richard Nixon instead of dumbo Hubert Humphrey..

Joe Iosbaker of FRSO is another name in the article:

https://keywiki.org/Joe_Iosbaker

“Support Bill Ayers”
In October 2008, several thousand college professors, students and academic staff signed a statement Support Bill Ayers in solidarity with former Weather Underground Organization terrorist Bill Ayers.

In the run up to the U.S. presidential elections, Ayers had come under considerable media scrutiny, sparked by his relationship to presidential candidate Barack Obama.

We write to support our colleague Professor William Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who is currently under determined and sustained political attack...
We, the undersigned, stand on the side of education as an enterprise devoted to human inquiry, enlightenment, and liberation. We oppose the demonization of Professor William Ayers.
Joe Iosbaker of the University of Illinois – Chicago signed the statement.[12]. . .

December 2014 - “As US/NATO aggression towards Russia increases”, five leaders from the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) attended an antiwar conference in Moscow, Right of Peoples to Self-Determination and Building a Multipolar World. We were invited by the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia. The five UNAC members who attended the conference were Margaret Kimberley of Black Agenda Report and the UNAC Administrative Committee; Joe Iosbaker of the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, the Rasmea Odeh defense campaign and the UNAC Administrative Committee; Bill Dores of the International Action Center: women’s rights activist, Mo Hannah; and UNAC Co-Coordinator, Joe Lombardo.[22]

Delegation.jpg
On December 16, the delegation of U.S. anti-war activists met with the Embassy of the State of Palestine Ambassador to the Russian Federation, Dr. Faed Mustafa. Ambassador Mustafa agreed to the meeting after a request was made by the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, the hosts of the international conference of anti-war forces.

The delegation that met with the ambassador included Joe Lombardo, co-chair of the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC), Bill Dores of the International Action Center and UNAC and Mo Hannah, also a member of UNAC and Joe Iosbaker.[23]

Second Moscow conference
Iosbaker.PNG
Tom Michalak went to Moscow, February 2015, as part of a small delegation of peace activists from the United States. Our goal was to demonstrate that among working people of all countries, cooperation is possible and in our best interests. The other delegates were Oscar Hernandez Santoyo of Milwaukee, an immigrant rights activist with “Youth Empowered in the Struggle” and Joe Iosbaker, of the Rasmea Defense Committee and the Committee to Stop FBI Repression.

The host during our stay in Moscow was Alexander Ionov, president of the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia. This is not a homogenous organization representing one ideological current. Some of its members subscribe to Korean socialism and some are “Putinists,” that is, champions of the Russian president, among other tendencies. The underlying current among the membership is staunch opposition to Western imperialism and the belief that all nations have the right to self-determination.

On the wall in the group’s office are framed photographs of Hafez and Bashar Al-Assad of Syria, Kim Il Sung of socialist Korea, Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara of Cuba, Moammar Gadhafi of Libya and Omar Torrijos of Panama — all political leaders that U.S. imperialism has demonized.

The Anti-Globalization Movement held weekly demonstrations in solidarity with the Cuban 5 political prisoners as well as a demonstration in solidarity with the “Black Lives Matter” movement outside the U.S. Embassy.[24]

The trip was paid for by the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia. . .

Another organizer, Omar Flores of the the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (MAARPR), was involved in organizing the Kenosha riots that led to the Kyle Rittenhouse incident:

Outside the county jail, Omar Flores, a Kenosha native who lives in Milwaukee, was among a group of organizers waiting for friends to be released. Flores said his friend was locked up for a curfew violation at around 9:00 p.m. the previous night.

He, too, was concerned that three organizers were “snatched and grabbed” by agents in “black unmarked trucks without license plates” and locked up for almost 24 hours.

“It’s been impossible and frustrating to get any information about their arrests,” he said.
