I don't think it takes any particular string-pulling. I would venture that 90 percent of the folks showing up were also at one time or another involved in the anti-capitalism protests prior to 9/11. So in the end, these causes attrack lib wingnuts like fresh manure attracts flies, and for the exact same spontaneous reasons.

We’ve got to find out who’s pulling the strings.

I imagine the NSA knows. And that means Bush does.

It's probably just a big conspiracy organization company on the web. You write in, tell them what you want to protest, where, how many people, etc. Give them your credit card #, and it happens. Same people that organise freeps.

You can’t put a family reunion or a PTA bake sale together without all kinds of hassle and work.

It probably IS just a big family reumion. The only place where that many people are related is Arkansas. See where I am going with this?

Go to the World Workers Party website link http://www.workers.org/ww/2001/call1004.php and you will see they founded International A.N.S.W.E.R.(Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). Phone number of that group is 212 633 6646. Do a "google" search on that phone number and a plethora of radical groups pop out. International Action Center is funded by Peoples Rights Fund, Inc. as well as other front groups.

Also, from "Marching With Stalinists" by Michael Kelly on Wednesday, January 22, 2003; Page A15:

...Last weekend, the left held large antiwar marches in Washington, San Francisco and elsewhere. Major media coverage of these marches was highly respectful. This was "A Stirring in the Nation," in the words of an approving New York Times editorial, "impressive for the obvious mainstream roots of the marchers."

There is, increasingly, much that happens in the world that the Times feels its readers should be sheltered from knowing. The marches in Washington and San Francisco were chiefly sponsored, as was last October's antiwar march in Washington, by a group the Times chose to call in its only passing reference "the activist group International Answer."

International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is a front group for the communist Workers World Party. The Workers World Party is, literally, a Stalinist organization. It rose out of a split within the old Socialist Workers Party over the Soviet Union's 1956 invasion of Hungary -- the breakaway Workers World Party was all for the invasion. International ANSWER today unquestioningly supports any despotic regime that lays any claim to socialism, or simply to anti-Americanism. It supported the butchers of Beijing after the slaughter of Tiananmen Square. It supports Saddam Hussein and his Baathist torture-state. It supports the last official Stalinist state, North Korea, in the mass tarvation of its citizens. It supported Slobodan Milosevic after the massacre at Srebrenica. It supports the mullahs of Iran, and the narco-gangsters of Colombia and the bus-bombers of Hamas.

This is whom the left now marches with. The left marches with the Stalinists. The left marches with those who would maintain in power the leading oppressors of humanity in the world. It marches with, stands with and cheers on people like the speaker at the Washington rally who declared that "the real terrorists have always been the United Snakes of America."

There is your answer.

As looney as it sounds it is a vast left wing conspiracy. All the unemployed communists of the world, since 1989 have been looking for a cause. The environmentalists gave them the cause, the Greens gave them the medium internationally and the Demoncrats nationally.

In short, we are in a cold war again with the same opponents, just a different face.

We fell asleep for a decade while they were building this infrastructure. Our culture and our country are at serious risk.

The groups are Communist. In fact there was even a sign-up table by the Communist Party at the march in NYC.

I would guess that Hitlery is behind all of this - because she has lots of acquaintances in the Communist Party. As well as those Hollyweird people who salivate over x42.

"Who's pulling their strings?" That path just leads to more of the same socialism impaired "willing tools". We already know that schtick.

I say "LET'S KEEP JERKING THEIR CHAINS". Seems like lots more fun, too.

Or would that qualify as cruelty to dumb animals?

What I can't figure out was when Clinton bombed Iraq for the purpose of keeping Monica's testimony off the front pages, none of these same people protested at all. Clinton bombing Iraq for very superficial reasons didn't bother them at all.
