*****
SDS was founded by followers of Chinese Communist dictator Mao Tzedong, who murdered millions of his fellow Chinese during his reign of genocidal terror in China. The SDS platform - adopted at their 1969 convention - openly called for a Maoite Communist takeover of America. The SDS platform also openly called for the destruction of the State of Israel. ----- JTF Exclusive: The Communists Behind Kerry's Anti-War Protests... via 27 posted on 11/01/2004 9:58:54 PM PST by Calpernia

1965 : (OGLESBY IS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF SDS -- See JFK ASSASSINATION, LEE HARVEY OSWALD, BERTRAND RUSSELL) Carl Oglesby may be the ultimate politically hyphenated American: He's an anti-interventionist-New Left-humanist-libertarian. He's also a folk singer with two albums to his credit, an author, and one of the nation's leading experts on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Oglesby's background didn't hint that he would end up, as Murray Rothbard called him in 1992, a "longtime libertarian." Born in Ohio, Oglesby attended Kent State University and then worked in Michigan as a technical editor for a defense contractor. His world turned upside down in 1965 when he became radicalized about the United States' growing military involvement in Vietnam. Later that year, he was elected president of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a "New Left" group that organized student opposition to the Vietnam War.

APRIL 17, 1965 : (STAUGHTON LYND ORGANIZES THE FIRST MARCH AGAINST THE VIETNAM WAR IN DC See HERBERT APTHEKER & TOM HAYDEN {See JANE FONDA}, SDS) Staughton Lynd ...organized the first march against the Vietnam War in Washington (DC), held on April 17, 1965, and, he organized the Assembly of Unrepresented People in Aug. 1965. ---------- http://www.swarthmore.edu/Library/peace/DG051-099/dg099Lynd.html
APRIL 1965 : (STUDENT MARCH ON WASHINGTON DC -- SEE SDS, STAUGHTON LYND) SDS involvement in the April 1965 Student March on Washington against the Vietnam War caught the Johnson administration off guard and the order to monitor SDS activities followed swiftly. The Bureau investigation centered in Chicago, where SDS had established its national office at 1103 E. 63rd Street, in the heart of the ghetto.""The FBI could find no hard evidence of outside influence or control of SDS, even though many of its leaders were espousing the radical thinking of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro and Che Guevara. Because SDS had none of the traditional hall marks of foreign control or influence, they were classified as part of what became known as the 'New Left.'"----- "Students for a Democratic Society and the Weatherman Underground Association," Microfilm LB 3610 .F35 | FBI File, Posted on 11/01/2004 8:22:18 PM PST by Calpernia
DECEMBER 1965 : (STAUGHTON LYND, ORGANIZER OF THE FIRST MARCH AGAINST THE VIETNAM WAR IN WASHINGTON DC ON APRIL 17, 1965, TRAVELS TO HANOI, N VIETNAM WITH HERBERT APTHEKER & TOM HAYDEN {See JANE FONDA}, SDS) Staughton Lynd (b. 1929), son of Robert S. Lynd and Helen Merrel Lynd (writers of the famed Middletown: a Study in Contemporary American Culture), earned his doctorate at Columbia University in 1961, and taught history at Spelman College (Atlanta, Georgia) and Yale University. Shortly after his marriage, he declared himself a conscientious objector, and was inducted into the army as a noncombatant, from which he was given an "undesirable discharge" in 1954. Staughton worked as a tenant organizer for the University Settlement House in New York City (NY) in 1958. He won the William P. Lyons Essay Contest in 1960 for his writing of "Anti-Federalism in Duchess County, New York." Staughton was the director of freedom schools for the Mississippi Summer Project in 1964, and organized the first march against the Vietnam War in Washington (DC), held on April 17, 1965, and, he organized the Assembly of Unrepresented People in Aug. 1965. In 1965 he made a Christmas trip to Hanoi with Herbert Aptheker and Tom Hayden [* Jane Fonda's husband], defying U.S. passport regulations; as a result, his academic career went into decline, suggesting that he was blacklisted for his political leanings. He graduated from the University of Chicago Law School in 1976, after which he devoted much of his energy to labor law, becoming Associate Director and Litigation Director of Northeast Ohio Legal Services. He wrote or co-wrote many books, including The Resistance (with Michael Ferber), Intellectual Origins of American Radicalism, and Solidarity Unionism. http://www.swarthmore.edu/Library/peace/DG051-099/dg099Lynd.html
