I’m going to be nasty on Notre Dame hiring Buttigieg. That school has been verring Left for a long time
Peter should be teaching a course on “Asstrophysics” entitled “The Theory and Nature of Thrust”.
Rev. Theodore Hesberg started the leftist march to what Notre Dame is today, which is a shame since he was a nice man, but a complete dupe of the Marxist Left..
One of their research groups, funded by the Kroc Family, is headed by a well-known Hanoi Lobby activist/veterans wing.
Unfortunately my information on his is buried under dozens of file boxes but the name “David Cortright” sound about right. He was a leader in the Communist Party USA “Mobe” successor faction known as the “Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice” (PCPJ).
He was also a leader of SANE/Freeze when the Marxists took both organizations over, as well as being involved in the Tom Hayden/Hanoi Lobby lovefest held in a church in DC in about 2017.
If this is wrong, I will correct at this article’s FR site in the future.
There should a be a lot on him at www.DiscoveryTheNetwork.org and www.keywiki.org.
The CIP also interlocked with another organization Mattison founded in 1977, the Center for Development Policy (CDP, aka International Center for Development Policy, ICDP, International Center, etc.). Former Carter administration Ambassador to Paraguay and El Salvador Robert White, who has been President of CIP since 1989, became Chairman of the CDPs Commission on US-Central American Relations in 1983 and then served as President of CDP from 1985-1990. CDP conducted a lobbying and public relations campaign to influence public opinion on Latin America. The CDP Commission on US-Central American Relations publicity arrangements were handled by Fenton Communications (founded by former Liberation News Service photographer David Fenton), registered from 1983-1984 as a foreign agent representing the Nicaraguan government. The Commissions personnel included. . .anti-nuclear activist David Cortright, active in SANE/Freeze and in the CPUSA front the US Peace Council (USPC). . .During the 2004 campaign [former CIA Soviet analyst Melvin] Goodman became a policy advisor of the Secure America Project of the Fourth Freedom Forum, presided over by former CDP member and current Win Without War associate David Cortright. . .
His association with PCPJ is mentioned in the KeyWiki entry on that organization, and he also has his own entry detailing his SWP and SANE activity.
