It is a great article. I believe the author is wrong on this point, though...

Fortunately, the early proponents of this revolutionary coalition in the U.S. lost out in the 1960s to the civil rights movement, which sought instead the fulfillment of the American promise of freedom and equality under the law. Americans preferred the idea of improving their country to that of overthrowing it.

They didn't lose in the 60s. Rather they went underground in the 70s and 80s and co-opted not only the civil rights movement but American institutions in general , particularly academia. Today they seem to be fully in control of government, media, the corporate world, etc.

Yes, just as the IRA coat-tailed it’s way into power on the back of the Irish Catholic “Civil Rights” movement, those terrorists are now holding many governmental positions of power.

Truth lies in the origin of these (counter-culture) organizations...their founders, financial contributors, facilitators, enablers, etc..

Unfortunately this information is going to be harder and harder to find...

...as the scrubbing of information continues...by those who wish to hide the truth.
