What is KeyWiki?

Together with a growing team we've created KeyWiki - a look at the covert side of politics.

We've started profiles on over 35,000 US people and organizations from the Democratic Socialists of America to the Center for American Progress, and from President Barack Obama to street level cadre communists.

We've got congressmen in there, "peace" activists, labor unionists, black radicals, "religious" socialists, "greenies", left wing academics , Obama appointees and thousands of card-carrying socialists and communists.

Most of the profiles are "stubs", but an increasing number are comprehensive and a few run to several pages.

We hope our ever-expanding KeyWiki will prove a very helpful resource for those fighting to restore the great American republic.

Go to search at the top left of the page and type in the name of your favorite US leftist. Press GO. Capitalization and correct spelling are crucial. If you don't find the name you're looking for immediately, type in a surname or keyword and press SEARCH.

If you're a bit of a radical yourself, see if we have YOUR name on file. If for some bizarre reason we have not got a profile on you yet, please use the contact form to send us your details and a recent photograph.

Nancy Pelosi has enjoyed a long and close relationship with San Francisco’s Communist Party USA aligned Hallinan family-especially late matriarch Vivian Hallinan.

When Vivian Hallinan died in March 1999, Nancy Pelosi placed a tribute[1]to her in the Congressional Record.

I am very saddened to know that the leader of one of San Francisco’s great Irish families, Vivian Hallinan, passed away last night.

Vivian and her family have deep roots in San Francisco and she has contributed immensely to the fiber of our community during her 88-year lifetime. Throughout her life, Vivian was devoted intellectually and passionately to many causes, well before they became popularly embraced. Her opposition to the war in Vietnam was an example of the courage she displayed in taking an early and fearless stand for her conscience and convictions.

Vivian was a pioneer, a mentor and a leader...

In an article from the San Francisco Examiner[2]also placed in the Congressional Record Pelosi described Vivian Hallinan as “a role model for many of us...”

Conn Hallinan, one of Vivian Hallinan’s six sons has said “My mother and Nancy were pretty close...”.

The San Francisco Examiner article described Vivian Hallinan as a very committed radical socialist.’ and detailed how in the 1980s she had “opposed U.S. policy in Central America and befriended Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua’s Sandinista leader. She also met with Fidel Castro.
