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 didnt 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 - Heres 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 Benjamins comments

Some of Clarks quotes from the rally:
Our country doesnt like poor people . . . especially here at home.
Weve 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.

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 shes 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.
Tiresome and predictable, maybe, but still the darlings of and center of the universe for the MSM and therefore dangerous.
I do too, believe me. Maybe this country wouldn’t have so many traitorous libs if they could connect the bigger picture. It’s like a 100 dot connect the dot puzzle that libs have only completed like 15 dots, Glenn’s completed 86 dots, so he can see some sort of shape, he knows what the general shape is but just needs a little bit more.
I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain.
Wow, you did some damn good research and we need to keep this thread bumped! Pass this link on to your email list, FReepers!
Do I know a marketing opportunity when I see it or what??
Thank you so much. That's exactly the type of dissemination of this info I wanted to see.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!!
Dittos. Share this info with your sphere of influence and ask them to pass it on to theirs. That’s what we all need to do to truly help our troops fight this war.
One needs to realize that the Move On.Org Crowd will behead anyone that gets in their way or that disagrees with them. You must be in total lockstep with them. These folk eat their own!
They make the World War Two Japanese and today's Islamic Terrorists look tame!
Need... I say more?
And in an uncrazy world the media would find it worth mentioning that these peace marches are organized by Communists. They would check into that.
Another point: The libs worry themselves to death over imaginary Fascists, then turn around and march with actually-existing, open-about-it real live Communists.
This guy should be shot....twice!
I get the sarcasm, but I wonder if there is an element of truth to it... They're very patriotic, but I don't for a minute believe their patriotism and loyalties are with the United States of America.
That has become the canary in the mine for identifying a liberal. If they refuse to let you engage in discourse with a dissenting opinion, good chance you're dealing with a liberal.
This is why I wonder if there is any offense for which one can be tried for treason. This is truly outrageous.
As bad as Fascists are, they’re pikers compared to Communists.
Mao is supposed to have killed $50 million in his purge. Stalin was reported to have killed $20 million.
The leftists must whisper to each other, “50 million here, 20 million there, it’s just bookkeeping.”
Yes, that is the Move On.Org Modus Operandi...
Well there was a day when the only good Injin was a dead one... That may come back into fashion with the muzzies and their Move On.Org allies
Good work and bump.
Thanks and pass the word on.
