The Salon ^ | October 17, 2002 | Michelle Goldberg

[HighRoadToChina]

Sorry for the source of this expose. But it's rare that the left exposes the radical left. Kudos to Michelle Goldberg of Salon.com for having the courage to expose who the following front groups really are:

1. International Action Center (IAC)--founded by Ramsey Clark who is member of the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic!
2. A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism)--
3. Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP)
4. Not In Our Name (NION)

The four groups that sponsored the San Francisco 2/16/03 anti-war demonstrations:

1. Bay Area United Against War

2. International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) Coalition--a front group for Workers World Party (Salon, 2/12/03)

3. Not In Our Name Project--connected with the Revolutionary Community Party (Salon, 2/12/03)

4. United for Peace and Justice--works with Communist Party of USA (cpusa.org Action Alert #5, dated 2/5/03)

Please ping your lists! More expose to follow!

Not true. The Left has been exposing the Stalinist Left much this past year. Marc Cooper of the L.A. Weekly exposed ANSWER last year. And this past January, NPR ran several shows exposing the Stalinist Left's role in the peace movement.

The patriotic, pro-American peace movement is working hard to expose its bad apples -- as are the many anti-foreign interventionist libertarians in the movement. See the lp.org sign at: New York Peace Protest.

ANSWER is a godsend to the foreign intervensionist globalists. It creates the illusion that ANSWER = the peace movement, which isn't true.

From your website:

"The peace movement has been accused of being a front for, or dupes of, the Workers World Party/ANSWER coalition. And yes, ANSWER buttons and signs were evident -- but WWP organizers were aggressively selling peace/ANSWER buttons (at $1 each), so it's a safe guess that many protesters arrived empty-handed, and took whatever they were given or could buy, with little thought as to any agenda other than preventing an Iraqi war."

"Yes, the WWP may have done much organizing for the protest, but they neither owned nor controlled it. From the street, it appeared to be the protesters who did. And rather than the Stalinist left, the rank and file marchers appeared to be a cross section of America. Both sexes and every age demo was well represented, from toddler to senior. One man carried a sign promoting the Libertarian Party."

You know what a "front group" does? It moves in the background and forments dissent and moves people in certain directions. Fifth Column.

"ANSWER is a godsend to the foreign intervensionist globalists."

A.N.S.W.E.R.--Act Now to Stop War & End Racism
Front group for WWP, does not want peace – it wants its heroes to continue threatening peace. It wants victory – victory for Saddam, so he can murder his own people; victory for Kim Jong-il, so he can starve his own people; victory for Milosevic, so his gangsters can continue to benefit from the riches they stole in Serbia, and placed in offshore banks in Cyprus, while their thugs cut the throats of Muslim grandmothers in Bosnia-Hercegovina and assassinated Albanian infants in Kosovo.

Workers World Party (WWP), founded by a miserable, obscure little man named Sam Ballan, based in Buffalo, New York. He was a long-time member of the main Trotskyist group in America – the Socialist Workers’ Party, of which James Burnham was a founder. In the mid-50s, he began to crave a party of his own. He used the political alias “Marcy,” presumably a combination of “Marx” and “Trotsky,” though his heritage more justifies it being seen as a neologism coined from “massacre” and “messy.” WWP was therefore known as “Marcyites.” Messy Marcy began by hailing the suppression of the people of Hungary by the Russians in 1956 – at a time when other leftists, including many Moscow-lining Stalinists, recoiled in horror at the bloodshed in Budapest. He went on to support the Chinese in their brutal attack on Tibet in 1959. WWF backers include North Korea, Saddamite Iraq, and the Yugoslavia of Slobodan Milosevic, Communist butcher of the Balkan Muslims.

"The patriotic, pro-American peace movement is working hard to expose its bad apples"

You are certainly not doing this by calling ANSWER a "godsend".

[Victoria Delsoul]

...as Richard Becker, IAC's western region co-director writes, "No one in the world ... has a worse human rights record than the United States."

Its call for the "workers movement here in the heartland of imperialism" to rise up is not a message that will stir great numbers of Americans. Neither is the ideology of the group behind the Oct. 6 protest, Not In Our Name, which was started and is being run by founders of a New York-based radical activist group called Refuse & Resist, who are closely tied to the Maoist-inspired Revolutionary Communist Party.

Bay Area United Against War

I've always despised the pretentiousness of that "Bay Area" this or that bullshit. As a Bay Area Resident for 7 years, I took special joy in confronting these kind of clowns on their supposed own turf in Golden Gate Park, or elsehere. They were such cliched Deadhead Dipsh*ts.

The thing is, I like the Dead, I play Garcia licks better than all those Rastafrarran White Bread Dumbf*cks..that will never ever get the subtleties....and they know it...'cuz they hear it when I play it. But I also then stare into their obligatorily "like progressive" faces...man. Nuff' said. They usually look away.

Then I tell them I'm a Republican....and that they're a buncha dipsh*t pretend progressive wannabe frauds....and then it usually gets fuzzy...

But I think made our point....I hope... I usually have to get after-action reports.

I called ANSWER a godsend for the pro-war crowd. All ANSWER accomplishes is discredit the peace movement. I even wonder, were any of the crazier signs and disruptive demonstrators actually undercover feds? You know, the FBI has a history of infiltrating groups in order to discredit them (see the 1960s COINTELPRO project).

Many Libertarian Party members are pro-peace and patriotic. But ANSWER discredits the patriotic peace movement -- and that only benefits the pro-war crowd.

[HighRoadToChina]

Sorry, Commie Basher. I was in haste. Not only ANSWER, but WWP, NION, RCP, IAC, etc. They are all Communist front groups who are the active sponsors and mover and shakers for the "anti-war" "peace" movement.
