Sorry, that should be Horace Greeley, not Horace Greenley, but still, my point stands. If Abraham Lincoln and Richard Nixon can be considered anti-Communist despite either working with a Communist dictator under bad advice during the 1970s or having a very radical, near-Marxist like Greeley, I’m doubtful MLK could qualify, especially not after he wrote “Can a Christian be a Communist” or his friendship with Nixon. At worst, he’s a useful idiot to Communists.
Returning to the topic of this thread- MLK
MLK’s staff-
African American, Bayard Rustin is a former organizer for the Young Communist League. He spent 60 days in a California jail on a 1953 conviction for performing lewd homosexual acts in public. He also served 28 months in prison later. He was King’s secretary and advisor from 1956 to 1960. During this period Rustin attended the National Convention of the Communist Party in 1957 as an “honored observer.” King called him a “a brilliant, efficient, and dedicated organizer.” It was Rustin who introduced King to a Soviet spy named Stanley D. Levison.
Levison was a NY Lawyer and VP of the N.Y. Council of the American Jewish Congress. Levison’s job was to launder the $1million subsidy Soviet Russia gave to finance the U.S. Communist Party. Levison proved important financial, organizational and public relations services for King.
The money which the Soviet Union funneled to Levison came from Isidore G. Needleman. He was a KGB secret police agent who fronted as an officer of AMTORG, the trading company in New York City which buys U.S. goods for shipment to Russia. There are so many Jews in the Communist Party the FBI hired two Jewish brothers, Morris Childs and Jack Childs as spies planned inside the Communist Party. For 30 years, Morris Childs was formerly a member of the National Committee of the Communist party and once served as editor of the Daily Worker. Childs reported that after the death of William Weiner, who was treasurer of the Communist Party, it was Stanley Levison who took over this vital post.
