"Daniel Ellsberg (born April 7, 1931) is a former American military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national political controversy in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of government decision-making about the Vietnam War, to The New York Times and other newspapers."

"As a response to the leaks, the Nixon administration began a campaign against further leaks and against Ellsberg personally. Aides Egil Krogh and David Young under John Ehrlichman's supervision created the 'White House Plumbers,' which would later lead to the Watergate burglaries."

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:
"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.'
The Annenberg papers are quite extensive 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

I’d like to piss on his grave when he dies. Please ping me.
Communist punk is such a traitor to our country and to our military.
send them this and tell them to stick it up their butt.
**
Oh believe me, I do.
I usually dont get replies, but I keep sending anyway.
Well, well - so now he’s suddenly a commie when some how he wasn’t back then despite the terrible price he exacted by his treason in the 70s which the Russians absolutely loved.
I remain shoched, I tell you.
Who the hell ever said he wasn’t a communist back then?? And you seriously think most people know this, or have such evidence as this connection to these revolutionary communist organizations? You have to stop and THINK sometimes before you respond. It’s not only about YOU or anyone else who “suspected” this was the case. There are an enormous number of people out there who don’t know beans about this stuff, including people hosting their own television and radio programs, not to mentioned many of the younger generations. Learn to think outside yourself once in awhile.
Sorry. Meant to send that last one (Kerry and Ortega) to another thread. I’ll ask the mods to delete it from here.
Illustrative of members of the coalition now allowed, by a sick populace, to govern.
Here's the result of a very quick search I did just now from Wiki, which can be entirely trusted, I'm sure, in this situation.
"Trial and mistrial:
On June 28, 1971, Ellsberg publicly surrendered to the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts in Boston. He was taken into custody believing he would spend the rest of his life in prison; he and Russo faced charges under the Espionage Act of 1917 and other charges including theft and conspiracy, carrying a total maximum sentence of 115 years. Their trial commenced in Los Angeles on January 3, 1973, presided over by U.S. District Judge William Matthew Byrne, Jr.".

Advocating the violent overthrow of the government is treason. The federal government refuses to prosecute the traitors. Not enforcing the law nullifies it. Ignoring trason endangers everyone.
The federal government has failed to “provide for the common defense and insure domestic tranquility”. By failing in its #1 required duty, the contract between the states and the federal government has been violated. The people are no longer under any obligation to a failed government.
Dear ETL,
Perhaps next time you make a simular post, you might include something about the historicaly perspective and the audience you are aiming for. Just a thought.
PIF
Thanks, FRiend. These people who conspire against America and side with our vicious enemies are absolutely friggin nuts. And this guy isn’t some young misguided college kid hooked up with these revolutionary communist organizations (still today), the SOB is near 80 years old!
Thanks again!

Judiciary Chairman Conyers Issues Report Documenting Bush Abuses, Calling For Further Committee Investigation, Blue-Ribbon Panel, and Criminal Probes
For Immediate Release
January 13, 2009
Contact: Jonathan Godfrey, Lillian German
(Washington, D.C.) -- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. released a nearly-500 page report documenting numerous abuses and excesses of the Bush administration. The report, titled "Reining in the Imperial Presidency: Lessons and Recommendations Relating to the presidency of George W. Bush," contains 47 separate recommendations designed to restore the traditional checks and balances of our constitutional system. Recommendations include calls for continued committee investigation, a blue ribbon commission to fully investigate administration activities, and independent criminal probes.
"Even after scores of hearings, investigations, and reports, we still do not have answers to some of the most fundamental questions left in the wake of Bushs Imperial Presidency," Conyers said. Pointing to allegations of torture and inhumane treatment, extraordinary rendition, warrantless domestic surveillance, the Valerie Plame Wilson-leak, and the U.S. attorney scandal, Conyers continued, "Investigations are not a matter of payback or political revenge it is our responsibility to examine what has occurred and to set an appropriate baseline of conduct for future administrations."
In addition to the set of recommendations, the report contains a foreword by Chairman Conyers and detailed discussions of: the administrations legal approach to presidential power; the politicization of the Department of Justice; the administrations far-reaching assaults on individual liberty (including torture, extraordinary rendition, and warrantless domestic surveillance); the misuse of Executive Branch authority; the administrations retribution against its critics; and the administrations excessive secrecy, noncompliance with congressional oversight, and manipulation of pre-Iraq War intelligence.

Sorry if there was nothing at all of interest to you on this thread.
I assume your referring to Viet Nam over all and the way the dems and media distorted reality—aka lied and made up things as they pushed their agenda.
Those years were used by the left to perfect their use of the media and begin the gradual take over of the GOP. They had already coopted the US Supreme Court, labor and education. They were working on coopting religious and business leadership (Wall Street and big money lenders). They achieved those goals a couple of years ago. This all culminated in the Wall Street, housing industry and economic crashes; double digit unemployment and a Marxist usurping the Presidency.
The only good news has been the left’s loss of the SC—for the time being. Oh, and the rise of the Tea Party movement this past year or so has been successful in derailing The Marxist Onada’s commie agenda. Also, recent elections in VA, NJ and Mass indicate that voters were not quite propagandized enough and/or sufficiently brain dead to roll over for Onada and his band of angry commies.
.Ellsberg remains a sought-after expert on military and world affairs, and an outspoken supporter of whistleblowers from Edward Snowden to Chelsea Manning. In 2011, he told the Chelsea Manning Support Network that Manning was a hero,....
Where did you get that BS from?
The guy was on the side of the (communist) VietCong.
Anyone who admires him is either pro-communist themselves or a know-nothing idiot.
