ANSWERS Support of the Baathists and Saddams illegl imprisonment, racisim, religious persecution, property seizures, torture , rape, murder and dismemberment of men, women and even children ; has rendered null and void their stand as peace activists.

Ditto for Cuba which just executed three men for trying to flee. Men whose trail and execution was less than a week!

Why are they not marching for the 3.5 million dead and rising Congolese?
Why are they not marching for the victims of Mugabe regime?
Why did they not march for the 800,000 Tutsi slaughtered by Hutus?
Why did they march for the hundreds of thousand dead in Croatia?
Why did they not march for the hundreds of thousand killed in Kosovo?

Because there was no opportunity to protest the United States of America!

Their concern is not for humanity but for their hatred for America and Americans; you and me.

PS why do they wear ski masks, kerchiefs and masks when they protest?

To Ryan Anderson O' Donnell as well and conservatives in support of this:

Now, i worked with the organization ANSWER. I helped them organize protests. There were some things I found questionable about them. Some of the things they say I find unfair and truth distorting. They also serve up propaganda to the public, calling Bush a "racist" and whatever else. It is a disservice to ignore the truth that Saddam Hussein, as far as I know, is an oppressive dictator who has done hardly anything to alleviate the suffering of his people, and if anything, has done them a complete and undeserving disservice. Still, from a legal perspective, the war is unjust and illegal. But getting back to ANSWER, yes, I must say they are not always objective. However, I have worked with these people, and I can honestly say that they are not "jew-haters" as you are trying to portray them to your supporters. I think that is so cheap and irresponsible to say these things. ANSWER has some very kind people who are passionate about their beliefs as you are, and very much care about this country, like yourself. If they did not, they wouldn't participate in politics. There wouldn't be such an organization. The only difference is that they have a different political platform. Let's not let our differences motivate us to slander one another. Two different sides with the same commitment, just going about it differently. If you really feel like you have an argument then you can support it with verifiable information. If you have a clear and concise basis, your views will prevail without having to personally insult someone or a specific group of people with an opposing viewpoint.

Nobody in ANSWER said anything that would have given me the impression they hated Jewish people. But a lot of them are against the oppression of Palestinians by the Israeli government. So they disagree with that government's policy towards the Palestinians. But it is nothing against Jewish people. Keep them out of it. It is about politics. They are peace-loving people and do not want to see anyone hurt. Their hearts are in the right place, even if they turn out to be wrong in the eyes of some people, people like yourselves. It is your right to disagree with their position on this issue. It is not your right to call them names that are misleading.

Unfortunately, most Americans STILL have no clue about the facts researched in this article. Neither has the mainstream media served the American People well by keeping them informed as to these very same facts.

Well welcome freek. Though your posting time on this board has been short let me be the first to congratulate you on preserving the Euro Stereotype held by many on this board of stupid, Communist Wanna be, out of step "Old Europe".

As to the Netherlands being a "Vassal State" that has been the lot of that country so many times in it's history that it seems to be how you people wish to live, The EU (Germany & France) being your current masters. But, not to worry, in 50 years the EU will be gone and the Mullahs will be in charge. I'm sure that they will be sympathetic to your country's dream of Communism, social freedom and secularism. They may even be more understanding than the Nazis the USA removed from your country at the cost of out blood and treasure.

It seems that there is a problem linking directly to a geocities webpage called www.geocities.com/pastorswatch.
All of the referenced articles seem to be posted HERE, http://www.geocities.com/pastorswatch/articles/.

Too bad much of the following info originates in FrontPage Mag, and Pastor's Watch. Cross-substantiation would be appreciated. Any followups you can provide would be interesting and educational for FR.

institutions – and arguably the most prestigious – was a

[Links between NION, RCP, IFCO]
However, NION’s links with Muslim terrorists are not just indirect,
through IFCO. NION invited both Sami Al-Arian and Lynne Stewart to
address their October 6, 2002 rally in Central Park. Stewart was
indicted for passing messages on behalf of her terrorist client Sheikh
Omar Abdul Rahman.
As disturbing as NION’s relationships with IFCO and Muslim
organizations are, just as disturbing is its relationship to the
Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP). Not In Our Name’s administration
cadre comes from the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), through such
luminaries as C. Clark Kissinger and Mary Lou Greenberg, both of whom
are Directors of NION and members of the Revolutionary Communist Party
(RCP). Clark Kissinger, co-director of NION and the RCP, was quoted as
saying that when the RCP took over, “it would be necessary to shoot
everyone who didn't agree with them."

[Ramsey Clark, Answer, WWP]
Stewart was recruited to the Rahman case by Lyndon Johnson's Attorney
General, Ramsey Clark, who has a long history of anti-American causes
dating back to the Vietnam War.
Ramsey Clark is the founder of the International Action Committee
(IAC), a pro-Saddam, pro-Milosevic organization that regards America
as the world's leading and most threatening terrorist state. In a
previous article about the "peace" organization A.N.S.W.E.R (March 29,
2002), I noted IAC's interlinking directorate with the Workers World
Party (WWP)

Sanctions against Iraq have killed 500,000 babies: This is no softer

[Apparently internal RCWP criticism on "Left Business Observer"
mailing list sent by Michael Pugliese]
Although the RCWP doesn't receive much press coverage in WW, it seems
clear that the WWP has a sympathetic view of its activities. In a
January 13th, 2000 WW article on Russian politics, the RCWP was
singled out for its leadership role both in the strike movement as
well as inside the "Communist Workers of Russia" voting bloc. The RCWP
"left" is also contrasted favorably to Gennadi Zyuganov's far larger
KPRF. Workers World's reluctance to devote extensive press coverage to
the RCWP, however, may stem from the fact that any overt alliance with
the RCWP would be rather difficult for the WWP's more naive
rank-and-file members to stomach, since the RCWP is a textbook example
of a radical "left fascist" group.

[Koogan: Links among RCWP ATTAC, ANSWER]
The anti-globalization movement was recently confronted with the
problem of the RCWP after it was learned that two RCWP members were
officially invited to take part in the recent Genoa protests by the
international association ATTAC (the Association for the Taxation of
Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens, which is best known
for supporting the proposed "Tobin tax" on speculative transactions.)
The leftist International Solidarity with Workers in Russia
(ISWoR-SITR-MCPP) group immediately alerted other anti-globalization
activists that the RCWP was an extremely racist and homophobic party
whose members worship Stalin, campaign against black people in general
and rap music in particular, issue material calling for homosexuals to
be jailed, and published a party document in 1997 that blamed Russia's
economic crisis on "American imperialism and international Zionism."
The group also attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin for being so
close to "the Jews that he ignores true Russian 'patriots'." According
to ISWoR, the RCWP could be best described as "a pseudo-Communist
anti-Semitic organization." --Kevin Coogan

wrote "How 'Black' is Black Metal? Michael Moynihan, Lords of

[Ramsay Clark heads NATO "international tribunal."]
On Saturday, June 10, 2000, the International Tribunal on U.S./NATO
War Crimes Against the People of Yugoslavia found U.S. and NATO
political and military leaders guilty of war crimes. At this people's
tribunal meeting in New York, held before over 500 people, a panel of
16 judges from 11 countries rendered this verdict regarding the March
24-June 10, 1999 U.S./NATO assault on Yugoslavia.
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, the lead prosecutor
at the International Tribunal on U.S./NATO War Crimes Against
Yugoslavia, urged those present and those they represented from the 21
countries participating to carry out a sentence of organizing a
campaign to abolish the NATO military pact.

Sympathy for the Devil
FrontPageMagazine.com | March 12, 2003
The group at the forefront of the recent anti-war rallies,
International A.N.S.W.E.R (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is in
reality a front organization designed to further the radical agenda of
several extremist movements from the political Left. Despite the
media’s assertions to the contrary, present incarnation of the peace
movement, led by ANSWER, is anything but representative of mainstream
America.
ANSWER’s steering committee reads like a “Who’s Who”
of radical political organizations. The most influential member of
ANSWER’s steering committee, Ramsey Clark’s pet project known as the
International Action Center (IAC), is considered by many observers to
be little more than a communist front organization for an obscure
Stalinist organization known as the World Workers Party (WWP). Yet,
the IAC is not the only member of ANSWER’s steering committee
committed to extremist causes. The Korean Truth Commission and Pastors
for Peace are staunch allies of Kim Jong Il and Fidel Castro,
respectively, and both groups continue to support these murderous
regimes’ violation of International law. In addition to its role as a
front for the support of totalitarian/communist governments in North
Korea and Cuba, members of ANSWER’s steering committee such as the
Muslim Student Association and the Free Palestine Alliance continue to
provide ideological, logistical and financial support for
organizations devoted to the destruction of the state of Israel,
including the terrorist group, Hamas. A comprehensive investigation of
the members of ANSWER’s steering committee make it clear that the
organization is in actuality one of Peace’s greatest enemies.

Speaking of Ramsey Clark, I was just watching a TV movie based on Ken Follett's On Wings of Eagles, a nonfiction account of Ross Perot's 1979 mission to free his employees from Iran just before the Iranian Revolution, and there's a scene where Perot bumps into none other than Ramsey Clark in Tehran. Background: Calling himself the “unofficial courier” of the U.S. government, Clark met with Islamic revolutionary leaders in Tehran in December 1978; he then traveled to Paris to visit Ayatollah Khomeini the following month. When he returned to the United States, Clark held a press conference where he warned against American interference in Iran. That November, the foot soldiers of Khomeini’s revolution took 52 Americans hostages and proceeded to hold them captive in Iran for 444 days. In 1980, while the hostages were still bring detained, Clark—aided by the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, the Soviet front group which he helped lead—went to Tehran to publicly denounce the U.S. at a “Crimes of America” conference organized by Khomeini’s government." Ramsey Clark. Clark later went on to oppose American opposition to Iran's nuclear program.

Thanks for finding this older article on the WWP, IAC,ANSWER, Ramsay Clark etc.

Strangely, the first part of the article about the founding of IAC and ANSWER sounds a lot like a three part series I did in 1991 for the old Washington Inquirer. However, I distinctly identified the IAC NOT as a creation of Clark, the blithering old fool turned communist stooge, but as a creation of the WWP using Clark as their front man.

The article referred to Gemma Gavriell as an employe of Clark’s law firm but rumors had it that he was screwing her and fell under his commie sway and the rest is proven history.

ANSWER was always a WWP front, coming out of their Peoples Action Movement (PAM) and their All-Peoples Congress of the late 70’s/early 80s.

The rest of the article is very good, esp. linking the Marxist Pastors For Peace (Rev. Lucius Walker, a longtime communist sympathizer) to Cuba and Nicaragua.

Glad to see that the WWP fronts are back in FR’s readerships’ view as a refresher of who they are.

PS: Their signs, which appeared at Ferguson, Baltimore, Portland, etc., are now Black and White, Yellow and Black, and some of the old Orange and Black.
