I was listening to a shortwave radio station and the mc said ANSWER was from North Korea. Has anyone else heard anything like this? What I want to know is how do these people have money to go to all these events? I know that no one I know can afford to either go or take that time off from work. I do not think these people have a real job.

Oh, they're paying at least some of the protesters. They also organize transportation for a lot of them to go to cities where protests are being held.

There was a big A.N.S.W.E.R. anti-war rally here in Houston last February (we FReeped it and really put a blot on their little love-fest; they were quite annoyed with us) and we found out that they had bused in people from Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth and other locations to run up the numbers. There were between 3,000 and 4,000 of the Great Unwashed marching by us.

Try some of these links to get to know International ANSWER's darling, Brian Becker:

More US war crimes exposed

Brian Becker's tribute to (one of) his hero(es), Sam Marcy.

Capitalism and child poverty: The biggest abuser of all (article by Brian Becker)

Now, you'll love this article by Brian Becker in Nov. 2000... "Workers World Party hits streets with election message"

Here's an article Becker wrote in '97 while on assignment in Cuba for WWP.

I'd link more, but I'm getting fairly disgusted by the content of Becker's commentary. He's a prolific writer of screeds against all things pertaining to the American form of government. Just do a Google search on "Brian Becker communist," or "Brian Becker workers world party," and you'll find thousands of links to more of his spew.

All of the cANSWER crew are commies - and peace is the farthest thing from their minds.

P.S. Brian Becker has declared that I am a spy for the US government - "a cockroach." And one day last May as I took photos during an advertised public event, outdoors at Freedom Plaza of all places, he encouraged a bunch of thugs and "peace" rally-goers to do with me what one does with cockroaches. Some of his fans took his words to heart and made threats to my health and safety. You can view my photos from that "civil rights rally" here. Brian Becker and Mara VerHeyden-Hilliard, and other leaders of the "peace movement" are not peace-loving at all.
