[Ford foundation paying for anti-Israel international political action]
The Ford Foundation, one of America’s largest philanthropic
institutions – and arguably the most prestigious – was a
multimillion-dollar funder of many human rights NGOs attending Durban.

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."

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
weapon of war By Deirdre Griswold, Workers World [28 January 1996] ...
Yet these troops are engaged in starving Iraq. Their methods are just
as cruel as the medieval sieges that laid waste to walled cities...
They have murdered 500,000 babies and children. They are stunting a
whole new generation. --Deirdre Griswold, Workers World
http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/27c/100.html [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.

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

[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.
