Good Post. The leaders in this post for the ACLU given 50 yrs ago. Can you or anyone here know who the leaders are now or give a person a location to go and find or search for the information as to who the leaders are, membership names, finance etc.
Arthur Kinoy was born on September 20, 1920 in New York City. He married Susan Knopf. He is an alumnus of Harvard University (A.B., 1941) and Columbia Univeristy (LL.B., 1947)
"Kinoy has been associated with the National Lawyers Guild["the foremost legal bulwark of the Communist Party, its front organizations, and controlled unions"] for a long time. He was national vice president of that organization in 1954. Ten years later, he was still active in the work of the National Lawyers Guild. The June 13, 1964 issue of the Michigan Chronicle, a weekly Detroit newspaper in the Negro community, reported Kinoy as having participated in a conference sponsored by the National Lawyers Guild Committee for Legal Assistance in the South, the purpose of the conference being to brief attorneys on legal problems confronting civil rights demonstrators in Mississippi."
In 1964, Kinoy became a professor of law at Rutgers University. From 1964 until 1967, he was a partner in the law firm of Kunstler, Kunstler & Kinoy of New York City. He has been counsel for the radical-leftist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the leftist Southern Conference Educational Fund. He has been affiliated with the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee ["Communist front" - "subversive"]. In 1966, he was a speaker at the annual dinner of the Communists' National Guardian. He has done legal work for the radical-leftist American Civil Liberties Union.
The constitution of the NLG states that its members shall serve the people "to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property rights." Throughout its remarkable history, Guild lawyers have confronted such pressing domestic issues as national health insurance, social security, labor’s right to organize and bargain collectively, anti-lynching legislation, full employment, reproductive freedom, and always the protection and advocacy of civil liberties and civil rights. Not limited to domestic affairs, and in support of peace law, the Guild played an important part in the formation of the United Nations, the Nuremberg trials, the Marshall Plan, and the policy of containment in Korea, Vietnam, and Central America.

The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) was a product of both the Great Depression and the progressive liberalism inspired by the New Deal, Popular Front, and insurgent activities spearheaded by Marxists and Communists. This documentary history traces the growth of one of the very few progressive organizations created-in the 1930s to survive the Cold War and McCarthyism. In addition to articles, papers, policy statements, and speeches by close to one hundred founders, judicial leaders, and participants of the NLG, special emphasis has been accorded the federal government’s response to the Guild, particularly through reports and testimony gathered by the FBI and House Un-American Activities Committee.

FYI
A study prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency at the direction of the House Intelligence Committee in 1978, reported that the IADL:
"has been one of the most useful Communist front organizations at the service of the Soviet Communist Party....In the 31 years of the IADL’s existence, it has so consistently demonstrated its support of Moscow’s foreign policy objectives and is so tied in with other front organizations and the Communist press that it is difficult for it to pretend that its judgments are fair or relevant to basic legal tenets."
IADL president, Pierre Cot, an official of the World Peace Council(WPC), the principal Soviet international Communist front, was even awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in 1953.
In September 1950, the House Committee on Un-American Activities issued a report, "The National Lawyers Guild: Legal Bulwark of the Communist Party", which stated:
"The real aim of the National Lawyers Guild, as demonstrated conclusively by its activities...are not specified in its constitution or statement of avowed purpose. In order to attract non-Communists to serve as a cover for its actual purpose as an appendage to the Communist Party, the National Lawyers Guild poses benevolently as ‘a professional organization which shall function as an effective social force in the service of the people....’ "
With the extensive revival of the NLG in the late 1960s and recruitment of a broad section of New Leftists who looked not to Moscow, but to the surrogate regimes of Havana, Hanoi, or Angola for models of revolutionary change, the NLG has had an increasingly close relationship with the Cuban regime. The NLG’s International Committee formed numerous subcommittees that coordinate both legal action and public relations and propaganda in support of various Soviet and Cuban-backed revolutionary terrorist movements. For example, the NLG’s Middle East subcommittee supported the Palestine Liberation Organization(PLO) and issued a blatantly biased report against Israeli legal and security measures against jailed terrorists. The NLG’s Vietnam subcommittee pressed for U.S. economic aid and “reparations” to the Hanoi government and urged recognition and support of the Vietnamese puppet state set up in Cambodia after the invasion and conquest by the North Vietnamese Army.
Headquartered in New York City, A.N.S.W.E.R. lists its address as: 39 East 14th Street, #206. That also happens to be the address of the International Action Center (IAC), listed as one of the 10 groups on A.N.S.W.E.R.’s Steering Committee. So A.N.S.W.E.R. turns out to be simply a front for the IAC, itself little more than a front for the Communist Party. Founded by radical activist Ramsey Clark, a former U.S. attorney general, the IAC is connected at the hip with nearly every anti-American, pro-Communist outfit imaginable. The IAC’s publications and web site praise Fidel Castro and adoringly reproduce his speeches. Following Fidel’s lead, the IAC has launched a campaign to “Free the Five Cuban Heroes.” Who are these “heroes”? Why, the five agents of Castro’s DGI convicted last year on charges of penetrating U.S. military bases in Florida, of course. One of the “heroes” was also convicted of participation in the 1996 murder/shoot-down of four Cuban-Americans in civilian planes over international airspace. But the IAC refers to the killer/spies as “political prisoners.” The IAC is also a leading voice in the “Free Mumia Abu-Jamal” choir. Mumia Abu-Jamal is the convicted cop-killer and former Black Panther who has become the poster child of the international Left. Ramsey Clark’s IAC also took Communist China’s side last year when a U.S. Navy surveillance plane and crew were held hostage. Recall that a PRC fighter first collided with the Navy plane and then another Chinese fighter forced it to land in China.
Other groups on the A.N.S.W.E.R. Steering Committee nearly as crimson-hued as IAC include: the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization/Pastors for Peace; the Korea Truth Commission; the Mexico Solidarity Network; the Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada; the Nicaragua Network; and the Partnership for Civil Justice.
The Korea Truth Commission (KTC) is the outfit comprised of Communists and other international radical activists charging American military personnel with war crimes during the Korean War. As with most of the other groups in the A.N.S.W.E.R./IAC coalition, the KTC is heavily salted with radical attorneys from the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), an official endorser of A.N.S.W.E.R.
In 1950, the House Committee on Un-American Activities described the NLG as “the foremost legal bulwark of the Communist Party, its front organizations and controlled unions.” The NLG’s activities in the past five decades have surely reinforced that depiction of the group. The NLG has been intimately and openly involved with Fidel Castro, as well as with such terrorist groups as the Weather Underground, the Black Liberation Army, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation.
The Washington Post reported on April 21st concerning the previous day’s protests: “One all-important telephone number — 202-462-9627 — was inked onto many arms; it’s the number those arrested are to call. Legal support was being provided at the number by a local law collective, the National Lawyers Guild, and D.C.-based Partnership for Civil Justice.”
Prominent NLG radicals endorse the coalition, such as Executive Director Heidi Boghosian, Los Angeles Executive Director James Lafferty, and Professor Peter Erlinder, a former NLG national president. As expected, wherever an NLG weevil infestation is found, subversives from the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) are swarming nearby. The IPS, a radical brain trust with long ties to the Soviet KGB and almost every Communist regime in the world, is right at the heart of the coalitions sponsoring the April 20 Mobilization and other related activities.
Phyllis Bennis, a radical author and “IPS Fellow on the New Internationalism,” addressed the April 20th demonstrators from the Capitol steps. Michael Parenti, a longtime IPS apparatchik, is listed as an A.N.S.W.E.R. endorser. Sanho Tree, director of IPS’ Drug Policy Project, spoke at the April 20th D.C. rally, as did Adam Isacson of the Center for International Policy, an IPS clone. Another IPS veteran, Tariq Ali, also addressed the demonstrators. The Los Angeles Times identified Mr. Ali simply as “a Pakistani playwright.” He is much more than that, of course. Besides his longtime efforts for the IPS and its affiliated Transnational Institute, Tariq Ali was also a top member of the executive committee of the Fourth International, the worldwide Trotskyite terrorist apparatus.
Comrade Ali has made many interesting statements endorsing violence, even assassination. He has said, for instance: “I think that to achieve the ends we believe in to the establishment of a Socialist republic, I believe that a certain element of violence is absolutely necessary.” The Socialist Workers Party, the violent U.S. branch of the Comrade Ali’s Fourth International, has stated: “As Marxists, we do not believe in individual terror because it underrates the class struggle. We instead believe in increasing the struggle, in mass terrorism!”
Other hardcore Marxists in the April 20 Mobilization ranks include Sandinistas from Nicaragua, Zapatistas from Mexico, Weather Underground terrorist supporters from the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee, and Maoist cadres from the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
The April 24th edition of Revolutionary Worker, published by the RCP, provided this report on the April 20th demonstrations in D.C.:
As we marched off, a white youth with dreads wearing a bandana told us, “Communists, anarchists, Palestinians — it’s all the same. We’re all oppressed by f****** capitalism.... They kill our planet, they kill our animals, they kill us. It’s not right, and we’re here to show that everyone is in solidarity with each other, and that the poor people of the globe are not gonna take it anymore.”
Anti-capitalist protesters carried pictures of the flag covered with blood and dollar bills with the slogan “Capitalism Kills.” At the Capitol, anti-capitalist guerrilla theater activists unfurled a huge U.S. flag onto the ground for people to step on. Revolutionaries and internationalists stood on the flag and did exposure about the role of the U.S. in oppressing the people worldwide.

The mainstream media are a bunch of liars, and are to the man anti-American and God haters. The mouthpieces they use, such as Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite, know better in their heart of hearts, but have sold their souls to the enemies of America for fame, money and good ratings. It is no better in our schools, where lies are told about conservatives every day.
Thanks for the ping, Calpernia! Great info.
