Here's praying for Porter Goss.
I agree, but what else to expect from MSNB - Newsweak?
Interesting though that they are beginning to fumble and falter. It is difficult to keep a straight story with so many people involved.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve.
But of course this is not the first time these people try to deceive.
I like this version of your comment better.
Between the Boris and Natacha outfits and the Sandy Berger look alikes with documents coming out of every pocket, I just wish I could attend.
Bump to an important roadmap.
This is a great article, piasa, describing how 'change agents' in Iran laid the groundwork to prepare the 'students' and population for their revolution under Komeimi (sp?) and the overthrow of the Shah.
More and more, I've been trying to connect pieces of the 60's youth revolution. Where did it start, what drove it, where did the concepts of the music and the rhetoric that accompanied it come from. It didn't grow from the war, I don't think. The war was a tool, an excuse to focus attention on alienation.
I graduated high school in '71. The only radicals I knew of were rich kids at rich kids' campuses. None of the working class kids I knew were feeling alienated. Free love was a distant concept along with all the drugs and silly clothse that you only saw on the campus at UM in Ann Arbor.
Yet those clothes, drugs, and bumper stickers were all sitting there, waiting to be purchsed by the radicals...
I have a secret hope that some of the connections we're uncovering here will help to put all of that in some perspective for me.
BTW, is the Bani Sadr in your article the father of the guy over in Southern Iraq now?
Thanks,

Opening the doors to the treachery we see today. The Clintons and Rats don't possess one altruistic or patriotic bone in their bodies .... it's all about them, their despicable agendas. How I detest them.
This revelation makes a lot of odd statemnts and behaviors make sense, doesn't it?
Wonder what the next 7 or 8 revelations will expose...

Nice Flowchart.
I would add a few hearts between Kerry and Wilson, Kerry and Beers and Kerry and Berger.

That Tyler guy is going to be on Hardball tomorrow.
You're right about that. The CP, Socialist Workers Party (Trotskyist group linked to Castro's sympathizers), and Progressive Labor Party (Maoist group) had a role in promoting the earliest phases of the antiwar movement and later exploiting it to advance their wider agendas. Beyond those "Old Left" groups' direct influence (well, PLP was kind of more New Left, but I'm simplifying for the sake of summing up here), in terms of the New Left's roots, many of the early antiwar leaders had a background with the civil rights movement and the antinuclear movement of the 50s--which were broader in membership than the Old Left groups but which the Old Left groups often sought to exploit--and this had some influence on the student movement through groups like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (which drifted from nonviolence into militancy under the influence of contact with the Institute for Policy Studies, Fidel Castro, and the Vietcong) and Students for a Democratic Society (which had started up several years before the antiwar movement became an item, which led to later infiltration by the PLP and the Weathermen and the Revolutionary Union). You'll find a pretty good chronology of the Vietnam antiwar movement in Nancy Zaroulis and Gerald Sullivan's Who Spoke Up? American Protest Against The War In Vietnam 1963-1975, which is available online. Tom Wells' The War Within is also pretty comprehensive. Kirkpatrick Sale's book on SDS is another one you might try. As for the music and cultural side of it, I'll just mention that the beatniks were an early influence that predated the antiwar trends in the counterculture.
Thanks!
Thank you for your reply and suggestions... off to google. :-)

Well, now. Don't I look like a dingleberry patting myself on the back. LOL!!
Go to: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1619050/posts?page=2775#2775 where I'm talking to myself.
I think that's what Joe sees when he looks into his 'special' mirror. lol

PAVN General Diep (sp?) credits the leftist radical anti-war movement as the reason they "won" the Vietnam War. He admitted they were defeated after Tet, but Walter Conkrite saved their cookies by spinning Tet as a defeat for us (why him, Fonda and others haven't been tried for treason is beyond me).
That the woman who (allegedly ;) ) leaked secrets to the press is a Democrat operative is no big shock for me. A lot of the civil service people working in DC and for various government agencies are die-hard demoRats (I call them "Embedded Rats"). Imagine my "surprise" when I was at the US Embassy in Moscow and heard all the caterwauling from State Department personnel when Bush defeated Gore - you'd have thought the world ended. And these are the people who are supposed to be implementing the WH's policies and programs... Long story short, I'm not surprised at the source of these leaks and not surprised that there are people on the government payroll actively opposing Bush's programs.
"Here we have PMS-NBC relying upon the words of charlatan Larry Johnson to tell the world that it is the BUSH administration that has injected partisan behavior into intel and national security issues!!"
Larry Johnson anecdote: Someone posted a quote from Larry's July, 2001 Times article, in which he said Americans had less to fear from terrorism than was commonly thought, in the comments section of Larry's blog. Larry about had a cow. Larry called the poster a moron and banned him from the site. Imagine being banned from Larry's blog for quoting him.
Yes, I think "embedded rats" is a good term for them. . .and some like Cronkite have been embedded for a long time. Peter Arnett is another one who was covering Vietnam back then who popped up again in Iraq.
