Last May, my family and I attended an Israel Independence Day street festival in the Boston suburb of Brookline, Mass. I discreetly placed myself in the midst of a substantial and vociferous crowd of anti-Israel protesters stationed across the street. The profile of the crowd was a mix of Arab students and the same old left-wing activists I´ve observed over the years in Boston. It´s very likely that the hijackers who took off from Boston´s Logan Airport and crashed their passenger planes into the World Trade Center Towers were there. The conversations, from all quarters, were the usual screed of anti-Israel, anti-American pseudo-Marxist drivel. The atmosphere was anything but religious and, I would contend, quite reflective of a left-wing radical "Islamic" mindset.
I am convinced that the international program of terror, responsible for the irrational planned mass murders in this country and in the world, is, rather than Islamic, more communist in nature. It is a major mistake to point the finger of blame on peoples and nations who profess the Islamic faith. Islam essentially advocates peace and Islamic nations have, historically, been tolerant, albeit condescendingly, toward Christians, Jews, and other minorities living in their lands. What´s happening today, with suicide bombers, is unprecedented in Islamic history because it´s not been a part of Islamic history.
While arguments can be made against Islam, I believe that this is the wrong road to choose. The problem lies with segments of the Marxist Arab leadership who have chosen to radicalize their own people, particularly the young, by turning Islam into a vehicle of propaganda and brainwashing. An analogous movement in the US is the so-called Islamic "Nation of Islam" which also derives its origins from communist activists.
Like the Nation of Islam, groups like the PLO, Hamas, Hizbollah, Habbash´s PFLP, and others, advocate a hybrid, politicized religion that they call Islam. It is a political religion that has been stripped of traditional notions of morality. These have been replaced by radical left-wing politics.
Communists are notorious masters at worming their way into societies by identifying an Achilles heel. For example, in the US, that weakness was identified as early as the time of the Bolsheviks as racism, hence, a dialectic was set up to divide our society by fanning the flames of race conflict. In Britain, the communists observed a tendency toward homosexuality amongst the ruling classes; hence, the homosexual spy rings, which included people, like Philby, Burgess, and Maclean. In the Arab world the door toward communist subversion would be the infiltration of Islam, which they would alter to be used as a vehicle for terror against the capitalist west.
The Bath Socialist movement seized power in Syria, Libya, and Iraq soon after their independence in the 1960´s. Saddam Hussein, like the Egyptian demagogue Abdul Gamel Nasser before him, is a hero of the international left and heads an entirely communistic regime. Arafat was trained in Moscow in 1959 where his sponsors in the Kremlin set him up in an organization called Al Fatah with an open checkbook and carte blanche regarding propaganda support from the left-wing international press. Al Fatah would be the founding group of the PLO, which is an umbrella of Marxist and left-wing militias.
While Hamas, Hizbollah, and other so-called Islamic groups pose as Islamic, an examination of their rhetoric and personnel reveal them as anything but religious. Columnist Daniel Pipes recently wrote an expose on this fact. They are posing as religious to shift attention from their true left-wing nature and sponsorship while, at the same time; they are besmirching the Islamic faith and religion in general. In Israel, they are entirely controlled by Arafat who turns on and off the terrorist spigot when it fits the dialectical strategy. The left media cooks up a conflict between the so-called Islamic groups and the so-called moderate PA. This is one of the many big lies promulgated by international left-wing media stooges. The revolting spectacle of the UN conference on racism was a classic example of the international left on display.
If we turn our anger toward Islam and Muslims, we are playing right into the hands of the radical terrorists who seek to trigger a religious war. These same communist thugs are, to varying degrees, holding the Islamic world hostage as well with their threats and murder tactics. Lets ask all freedom loving peoples of the world, including those living under the left-wing jackboot in the Islamic world, to join us in exorcising this malignant cancer.
The words above were brought to you by the politically correct rah-rah club on Free Republic.
Not only are they behind all this but they have help right here in our government. Let the rah-rah club whine and stomp their feet, but it's the truth.
Do you all think if the breadcrumbs lead past Casto's doorstep on this WTC terrorist hunt,the US will do anything about it?
I personally don't think that Castro would have any allies (besides Venezuela and China) if push came to shove and we instigated a full embargo on his country by air and sea. Also I don't think Castro is a guy we can injure in halves. If we go after him, it will need to be for a knock-out punch.
It is indeed the Communists at the back of what has happened. And, Hillary Clinton is the leading American commnist. I do not think that it was just a "coincidence" that Barbara Olson, her most effective antagonixt, was one of the victims of Sept. 11. Further, her conduct during President Bush's speech was not that of disinterested boredom or even disrespect, as some have thought. I believe her conduct was that of a killer involved in the determination to wipe our country (as we have known it) - and the FREEDOM America has always stood for - out. She thinks there will still be enough of "America" left after her intended debacle, which she and her comrades can mount and claim control over. Her Communist comrades in China, in the old USSR, in Cuba, and among all the leftist terrorist organizations (which includes them all) are with HER. All the American communists are with HER.
Yes, I was dismayed somewhat that President Bush did not include "communism" in the list of "discarded lies" of the 20th century. One reason, however, is that this lie has not been discarded - not yet - by a huge portion of the ruling thugs of this world.
And, when you get right down to it - that's really what communist totalitarianism is. It is government by thugs. That's why when the USSR dissolved, the THUGS (Russian mafia) took over. A communist by any other name is an anti-God THUG.
What do thugs do? They use brutality, brute thug force, to get their way.
Hillary and her commie thug friends used brute thug force over and over again during their reign of terror of Bill Clinton's term. She is used to murdering her opponents. THAT's why she was so bored during the speech. She is a person of direct deadly action. Words do mean a lot - which is why her propaganda machine works overtime to do the bidding of her fellow international communist thugs. But brute thug forceful actions are how communists ACT - and somehow, (Perhaps through Governor Ridge there to watch this country's - and the President's back), our President must come to grips with the fact that his - and our - deadliest enemies are right here - in our US Senate and Congress!
The thing Hillary and her communist thug friends do not understand is that God is against her and them and the one who directs their actions - Satan himself. No matter what they do, hell awaits them. An eternal damnation awaits them.
Pray that President Bush will become awakened to the imminent danger to this nation posed by America's communists - and those around the world.
I watched on c-span...a Senator like he saw a ghost--say his committee was going to make a grave decision on the size of classes for schoolchildren--teachers...also this prescription medication for elderly and reparations-race rhetoric garbage. If GM had to make cars the way the govt. is supposed to protect-serve us--production-safety would be cut in half--two thirds and, prices would quadruple and blue(dnz) cars(free) would be bumping all the red cars---running them off of the road---blowing them up---car bombing---while GM will be discussing parking lot assignments--etiquette...bs!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; by this definition the Chinese Communists and Bin Laden are soulmates, hating America and its freedoms. As we root out one, we need to remember that the other one lies waiting in the wings.
We must stand firm against terrorism, but we must be ready for the possibilities. The Chinese stand to gain the most from our involvement. A disproportionate level of our special forces and rapid deployment forces will be involved in this action. These are the very people we would call on to discourage or thwart an actual attack on Taiwan. The radicals in the Chicom military may want to take advantage of this.
The Chinese must be assured that this is NOT A GOOD TIME to take advantage of us re Taiwan. I'm sure that this message has already been privately delivered to Beijing. The Chicoms, being long-term thinkers, will probably be content to just sit by and watch us use up our conventional arsenal; counting the cruise missiles, and other ordinance as it is expended.
But let's save a few rounds in case the PRC is dumber than I think they are.
It's the communists - not the Islamic fundamentalists...though they exist and are being used in these actions.
Dear President Bush - we are at war and the enemy is inside the gates - in your own agencies.
Please, sir. Please dismiss any Clinton appointees in any and all agencies NOW, including Minetta. He is a DNC plant and must be removed.
