Who Is Really Behind the Anti-War Movement?
On Saturday, September 15, there was an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. in La Fayette Park directly across from the White House. CSPAN ran it in its entirety on Sunday, and as I was watching, I began to wonder, “Who are these people”? I did some research and the results are alarming.
There is a common Marxist-Leninist thread that ties many of these groups together along with a number of pro-Palestinian/anti-Israeli speakers early on whose names I didn’t catch.
Here is some of what I found, with links to info on the organizations, the speakers and the organizations’ websites.
The rally was organized by ANSWER.
· Anti-war front group for the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party
· A major organizer of the massive anti-Iraq war rallies of 2002 and 2003
· Opposes embargo against Communist Cuba
· Supports convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal
Brian Becker Co-Director was a featured speaker. Watch his speech
· Co-director of the International Action Center
· Member of International A.N.S.W.E.R.'s steering committee
· Member of the Secretariat of the Workers World Party
Co-sponsor of the rally was Muslim American Society (MAS). This group espouses that the US is responsible for provoking the attacks of 9/11.
Mahdi Bray – Featured Speaker - Here’s a clip of Bray enthusiastically showing his support for Hammas and Hezbollah.
· Executive Director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation
· Advisory board member for numerous Muslim organizations
· Has worked in concert with International ANSWER
· Declared that he and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist fundraiser Sami al-Arian are “kindred spirits” on the issue of Muslim political activism
During the last week of December 2004, Medea Benjamin (Code Pink Founder), announced that Code Pink, Global Exchange, and Families for Peace would be donating a combined $600,000 in medical supplies and cash to the families of the terrorist insurgents who were fighting American troops in Fallujah, Iraq. (Emphasis added) Watch Benjamin’s comments
Voters for Peace and Democracy
· Voter-education organization that endorses only anti-war political candidates
· Project of such anti-war organizations as After Downing Street, Backbone Campaign, Code Pink, Democracy Rising, Global Exchange, Gold Star Families for Peace, Peace Action, Peace Majority, Peace Majority Report, and United For Peace and Justice.
Kevin Zeese – President, was a featured speaker - Watch his speech
USAR, Ret.,
Former State Dept. Official 1987 – 2003
Malik Rahim, Founder, speaker
· Former Black Panther
· Convicted felon
· Current Green Party member
· Long-time housing and prison activist in the U.S. state of Louisiana.
· Gained publicity as a community organizer in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
· Far-left anti-capitalist activist
· Two-time nominee for president
Ramsey Clark – He repeatedly pushed this site: impeachbush.org
· Former U.S. Attorney General
· Acted as counsel for North Vietnamese Communists and Iran’s Islamic dictatorship
· Founder of International Action Center, which is staffed by members of the Workers World Party, a Marxist-Leninist vanguard.
Some of Clark’s quotes from the rally:
“Our country doesn’t like poor people . . . especially here at home”.
“We’ve got to cut our military budget by 50%”.
“We spend more on military arms here than all other countries in the world combined”.
“Nothing is going to stop this war except the impeachment of George Bush and his gang”.
· Sub-unit of the International Action Center, a front for the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party
· Provides legal services for protesters arrested during demonstrations
· Publishes literature designed to protect the civil liberties of terrorist suspects
Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, Attorney & Co-Founder, was their featured speaker
· Co-founder of the Partnership for Civil Justice Legal Defense & Education Fund
· Attorney for the International Action Center
· Anti-war activist
Gold Star Families for Peace - Listen to what she had to say.
Cindy Sheehan, Co-Founder President (does she really need any introduction at this point???)
Some memorable Cindy quips from Saturday:
“We need to stand up and lie down”.
“These people are the fascist elite.”
“Power to the people. Power to the people. Power to the people. Right on.”
She left the stage to the crowd chanting “Impeach Bush. Impeach Bush”.
I can see why she believes she’s a shoe-in for Speaker of the House.
This is not an anti-war movement; it is an anti-American, an anti-capitalist, impeach-Bush movement.
We need to get this information to as many Americans as possible to do whatever we can to thwart their efforts.
We cannot let these people mis-lead the American people while hiding their true agendas.
We cannot afford to let them lose this war as they did forty years ago. The stakes are too high.
We are engaged in a struggle not only for the American way of life but for the survival of Western civilization.
Please do your part by passing this on to your sphere of influence.
My two main sources for info were David Horowitz’s excellent resource, Discoverthenetworks.org, which is a net guide to the political left, and obviously You Tube for clips from the rally.
David Horowitz has provided a tremendous service with his Discover the Networks, which I used heavily for this piece. Thanks for the warm welcome and for reading my post.
Nice Work... thanks for the information
Passed it on, per your request. Good work.
Very Good!
I thought I heard you naming all these groups during the GOA.
MOst of them. LtCol Patterson was spot on when he said they’re ALL communists.
Kevin Zeese used to work for NORML, used to take his work home and it’s obvious that he’s still working on it.
Shucks, ma’am. :-) Glad to see that you already know about David Horowitz and DTN. You know, as you discover connections through research and your personal knowledge and observations, you might become a source of information for DTN as well. The leftists and their organisations depend on stealth, the fact that a large proportion of the American people don’t know about the interlocking leftist connections - foundations and think tanks alone are worth a doctoral dissertation. The people need to be made aware of the poison that surrounds them, especially as so much of it is spoon-fed to innocent children at school.
If these people (Code Pinko) can't be charged with treason, then nobody can.
Excellent. This is added to my favorites, thank you.
Awesome information! And Welcome to Free Republic!!
Who is behind you?
You did a very good job of naming the communist groups. I was happy it was shown on “drive by media.”
I love your signs, too - ought to be t-shirts available for all your Freeper pals!
A lofty and worthy goal indeed. Sporting a ‘Support the Troops’ magnet on your car is one thing, but actually exposing the anti-war movement, the “insurgents in our midst” if you will, seems far more productive. That’s what I like about Freepers; they’re involved.
Treason doesn’t seem to be prosecutable offense anymore or else we’d already have a lot of trials underway for all the people who have been aiding and comforting the enemy.
Coming from a fellow Beck fan, that’s high praise indeed. I wish his show exposing the daily Middle Eastern media’s anti-Infidel, anti-Western civ propaganda feast could be given wider dissemination than what it can ever get on CNN.
