Media coverage of so-called "anti-war" demonstrations has gotten so bad that many reporters don't even mention the names of the communist fronts that organize them. Such was the case with the New York Times coverage of a rally in New York City on March 20 that drew several thousand people. The official sponsors, International ANSWER and United for Peace and Justice, weren't even mentioned. The communists behind these groups were even more anonymous

The Communist Party USA is an organization of activists in labor and all the people's movements with three main political aims: LISTEN

U.S. Communists to support Dems
Worldnetdaily G2 | Thursday, October 2, 2003 | Joe Farrah
U.S. Communists to support Democrat Party calls for 2004 'united front' in No. 1 priority of beating Bush. Pacepa also identified the IAC and ANSWER as front groups for the Workers World Party, something WorldNetDaily reported in November of 2002. Also at the forefront in the weekend demonstration and current anti-war protests was the "Not In Our Name" campaign. NOIN spokesman Clark Kissinger represents that movement to the public and is an integral part of Refuse and Resist, an organization with close ties to the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, of which Kissinger is a member and writer for its newspaper. The infiltration by the Communists continues...and using Alinsky's Rules for Radicals..

Clinton appointed judge (Judge Kessler) to reveal undercover officers names: "[T]he (DC) Metropolitan Police Department's intelligence-gathering methods, including the use of undercover investigations, have been integral to the Department's success in minimizing property damage, violence and physical injuries at mass demonstrations. In contrast, since November 1999, there has been violence, significant property damage and physical injuries at mass demonstrations throughout the world, including Seattle, Wash.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Prague, Czechoslovakia; Quebec, Canada; and Genoa, Italy."
The group shot to prominence when it created an anti-war coalition named International ANSWER, immediately after 9-11. "The International Action Center and the Revolutionary Communist Party [USA] aren't just extremists in the service of a good cause," says Michelle Goldberg, a writer with Salon.com. "They are cheerleaders for some of the most sinister regimes and insurgencies on the planet." The founder of the IAC and director for A.N.S.W.E.R. is Ramsey Clark. The WWP has wooed the Democratic Party, and supported Jesse Jackson's presidential bid in 1984. In New York, the WWP made alliances with the left wing of the Democrats in order to establish a strategic foothold in key trade unions. Overall, the IAC-WWP-A.N.S.W.E.R. triaxis, firmly at the helm of the anti-war movement, unequivocally supports Iraq, while instructing protestors that the U.S. is the foremost terrorist threat to the world. In addition they claim that Osama bin Laden was the victim of an imperialist American plot. Brian Becker, member of the secretariat of the World Workers Party, national co-director for the IAC and a member of the national A.N.S.W.E.R. steering committee, is admired by the North Korean dictatorship for his loyalty to their state as well. At a press conference in Pyongyang, Becker denounced the U.S. for "mercilessly killing innocent people." In May of 2001, FBI Director Louis Freeh labeled the World Workers Party a potential threat to U.S. national security – a status certain to be explained by the WWP/IAC (as is most criticism) as a conspiratorial smear by warmongers. Kissinger's Refuse and Resist runs information releases from the Revolutionary Communist Party USA on its site.

PROTESTS ORGANIZED BY THE COMMUNISTS
ORGANIZED BY THE COMMUNISTS
Fiedor Report On the News #307 ^ | 3-23-03 | Doug Fiedor
In the January 26 issue (#299) we reported that the anti-American & anti-war protests were very interesting not so much because of the subject matter but because of the players. About 5% were known mainline socialist/communist organizers. Nearly 20% had no reason for being there other than to try to get lucky. Another 20% were has-been hippies who just do not fit in anywhere anymore. At least another 20% had issues other than protesting a war. And it looked like the rest were just there because someone made them think it might be a good idea. It was something to do, in other words. A party.
Washington Times Editor in Chief Wesley Pruden pegged the leaders accurately in his January 21 column: "The organizers pretended, like many of the young people, to be something called 'peace activists'. But anyone who remembers the demos of the '60s, when the crowds actually did number in the hundreds of thousands, recognized the organizers for who they really are, a collection of Karl Marxists (now mostly stumbling into their eighth and ninth decades), Groucho Marxists (who nurture the conceit that most Americans are like themselves and thus see America as worthy only of contempt), and assorted panhandlers, grifters and beggars with a gift for haranguing the gullible."
We also reported that, this time, the socialist and communist organizers showed their true colors and admitted their complicity on web sites. They coordinated some of the actions through the Progressive Challenge (1), which is a kissing cousin of Social Democrats, USA (2) and Socialist International. This time around, Progressive Challenge tried to hide their actions from an inquiring public by not linking to it on their main page. But, the information is there, on their web site. (3)
Last week, Fox News broke the communist angle wide open and almost got a couple of the far-left reds to do a live television interview.(4)
Fox News led off with a very interesting point: "Money is needed to rent or buy stages, sound systems, permits and portable toilets, and tabs often run as high as $200,000 per demonstration; much more than the average grassroots peace group will ever have in its coffers."
As Fox News asks, "So who is picking up the tab?"
The Marxists at the Workers World Party(5), Fox Reports:
"The major anti-U.S. government demonstrations are organized by people who have been around for a long time, particularly the Workers World Party, which has existed for more than 30 years now and has always supported the enemies of the United States," said Herbert Romerstein, a retired agent of the U.S. Information Agency.
Fox says that outwardly, protest organizers are groups such as Not in Our Name and International A.N.S.W.E.R., which have long histories of backing anti- American causes.
Not in Our Name is financed by the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization(6) -- a million- dollar-a-year non-profit organization that supports Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and once sponsored a group headed by Sami Al-Arian, the University of South Florida professor charged with fundraising for terrorist organizations Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
A.N.S.W.E.R.(7) is an offshoot of the International Action Center(8), which intelligence officials say is a front for the Worker's World Party.
And so it goes. The same anti-American international communist and socialist groups that instigated many of the protests and riots happening in this country in the past 50 years are at it again. And, as usual, they find plenty of resident useful idiots to lead by the nose.
We think free speech is a fine concept. No one should ever be censored for speaking out against war. We draw the line, however, when international communist and socialist groups use foreign money to pay for protests and start riots. That should have been stopped decades ago.

This is what very few Americans realize about all the demonstrations the media has hyped on TV. How many of you are aware who has financed and organized these demonstrations? Many refuse to comprehend this truth. There are many 'Useful Idiots' being exploited by 'The Left.' Many students are duped and don't know it, or choose not to know! Many students have little real knowledge of what they believe or why they believe it. http://www.frso.org/images/frso6.gif
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) is a revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization in the United States. The members of Freedom Road are very active in movements fighting for justice, particularly in labor, oppressed nationality, anti-war and anti-imperialist, and student movements. Freedom Road is characterized by our understanding of national oppression in the United States. Freedom Road was founded in 1985 with the merger of 3 groups that were born in the New Communist Movement of the 1970s. Since then other groups and many new activists have joined our ranks. |
The student movement. Campus activists, already battle-tested in recent struggles around sweatshops and globalization, were among the first to move. In the first weeks, actions against war took place on hundreds of campuses, with impressive turnouts at centers like Berkeley and Madison. Soon spontaneous efforts at regional and national coordination arose.
Freedom Road Socialist Organization: An Introduction
How many of your friends have seen this..??
The pro-Ho "anti-war" crowd started acquiring ownership of the mainstream media in 1968 -- it was far from a hostile takeover. North Vietnam's most trusted American, Walter Cronkite led the takeover.
Make the traitors then and now pay! Don't let another enemy general have reason to praise them for helping to move public opinion and humiliate our Republc.
A lot of vets that care to forget the war can't immediately remember Kerry's doings in the 70's, this is why I think its imperative to try all avenues to remind them of who is running for the Presidency of the USA.
This material is rare -- almost unknown -- and important.

John Kerry and the Communist Daily World
WinterSoldier.com | March 28, 2004 | Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.
http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/staticpages/index.php?page=20040327212235868
Even after 33 years, the Communist Daily World (CDW) articles covering the activities of John Kerry and Vietnam Veterans Against the War in early 1971 remain shocking.
The Communist world understood clearly then what John Kerry even today tries to deny. The anti-war movement typified by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War was not simply a protest movement making a statement that the war in Vietnam was being wrongly waged in the sense that another military strategy might be more successful. No, the VVAW at its core was avowedly anti-American, willing to propagate lies about "war crimes" allegedly committed by American soldiers on a daily basis. The goal of the VVAW's highly publicized demonstrations in Washington, D.C. during April 1971 was to convey one simple message -- the United States had lost its moral way in opposing North Vietnam and the Vietcong. As spokesman for the VVAW, John Kerry was happy to trumpet the exact theme the Communist world wanted broadcast.
How could Communists miss the propaganda value John Kerry offered? He was a decorated Navy officer, recently returned from Vietnam, a young man without the bearded appearance of a disgruntled outcast, an educated and articulate veteran, who was willing to associate his name with their revolutionary message. Navy Lieutenant John Kerry could not have been more perfect for the CDW if he had been recruited and trained by the KGB itself.
Today in 2004, running for President, John Kerry will be certain to object that the CDW was free to cover whomever the paper chose, that he, John Kerry, did not seek out the coverage or give interviews to the CDW. Yet the deeper reality is that anyone literate at the time, anyone deeply involved in the political and moral struggle that was Vietnam, could scarcely ignore the impact of the extensive coverage given the VVAW's April 1971 protest in Washington and the newspaper's constant positioning of John Kerry as their spokesman.
Here we have the CDW photo of John Kerry on the platform, assisting former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, an open supporter of North Vietnam and the Vietcong, as Clark addresses a group of VVAW members assembled before the Capitol. The next day, we see John Kerry's photograph again on the CDW front page, now with his military fatigues disgraced by the inappropriate wearing of military ribbons, sitting in a studied pensive pose, right index finger pecking his cheek as if to enhance the serious purpose of his appearance before the Fulbright Committee.
At every utterance quoted in the pages of the CDW, John Kerry's message is exactly what Communists wanted broadcast worldwide to undermine the American cause in Vietnam. In responding to questions from the Senate Committee, Kerry grossly exaggerates atrocities. He advocates the acceptance of Communist-advocated U.S. surrenders, such as the Vietcong proposal that America could gain the return of POWs only if the U.S. Government would set a date for full and complete military withdrawal from Vietnam. He proclaims that the war was a mistake.
Then in June 1971, we see another CDW-published photo of John Kerry, this time lending his support to Jesse Jackson and his then-current cause, Operation Breadbasket. Again, Kerry is pictured in coat and tie, still the mop of hair at regulation protest length, the shaven face clearly bearing no beard, the message again on theme: America is engaged in an unjust war in Vietnam, a war punctuated by American atrocities. To make sure no one misses the point, Kerry announces he is planning a three-week trip to Vietnam to see what is "really happening," suggesting none too subtly that anyone who would still argue for the rightness of remaining in Vietnam must surely be a liar.
(More important links below)
These old newspaper clips are archived here to memorialize a story that must be revisited as John Kerry seeks to hold the nation's highest office. John Kerry crossed an important line in 1971. We see no letter from John Kerry to the CDW objecting to the way the newspaper seeks to exploit his activities. To this day, John Kerry does not express regret that CDW found in him the perfect "poster boy" to carry their word. Plastering John Kerry on its front pages made sense to the Communists thirty years ago as they sought to communicate around the world, even to American POWs held in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton," that young Americans had turned against their country and were openly embracing the Communist message.
John Kerry thrust himself upon the world stage in 1971, proclaiming for all to see that the Communists were right in maintaining that American values were corrupt and that the only solution was for America to capitulate so Communism could continue to spread. John Kerry in 2004 will certainly try to maintain that his purpose in 1971 was otherwise. But let him do so in the face of this, the published record.

Our Role
1-Participate with labor and allies.
A number of international unions have held large national conferences, listened to the Democratic presidential candidates, and are making plans to send political activist union members out to key states.
Many other organizations are also gearing up. We should be deeply involved in pushing these efforts forward and building the broadest possible coalitions that can win.
Especially at the local level where the full impact of the Bush tax cuts and cuts in human needs plays out
