Thanks again, ETL.
From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots.
During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed.
On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Thanks again, ETL.
Thanks for an important piece of information. That reminds me:
"A two-year Federal investigation has led to the breakup of a cocaine distribution ring and established for the first time that the Crips, one of this city's major street gangs, has direct ties to the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia, the Federal Bureau of Investigation says.": F.B.I. Says Los Angeles Gang Has Drug Cartel Ties (01/10/1992)
"Convicted cocaine trafficker Carlos Lehder testified yesterday that Robert Vesco, the fugitive financier accused of looting millions from a Swiss-based mutual fund, helped him ply the drug trade in Cuba and the Bahamas. . .Lehder, once a high-ranking insider in the Medellin cartel, testified last week that he received authorization to use Cuba as a drug way-station from Defense Minister Raul Castro, brother of President Fidel Castro. During five days of testimony, he has described how the cartel funneled cocaine through various Central American and Caribbean nations, bribing officials such as General Noriega to protect drug shipments. Yesterday, he testified that he first visited Cuba in 1981 to meet with Mr. Vesco and Raul Castro. . .": Drug trafficker links fugitive to laundering
"From what Jung said, Lehder saw cocaine as a weapon and the ultimate product. He was as consumed by hatred of the United States as he was by the prospect of wealth and power. "He hoped that by flooding the country with cocaine he could disrupt the political system," Jung testified last November. In Colombia, Lehder founded a neo-Nazi political party, the National Latin Movement, whose main function, police said, appeared to be to force Colombia to abrogate its extradition treaty with the United States.": Hatred of All Things Yankee Absorbs Lehder
