ANSWER's Steering CommitteeBy Ryan Anderson O’DonnellFrontPageMagazine.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...

FReeper Activism Alert - AntiWar rallies to take on new meaning - can you say SABOTAGE? The A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition and other organizations are calling for an Emergency National Anti-War Convergence to TAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE on Saturday, March 15 (gather 12 noon at Washington Monument - Constitution Ave between 15th and 17th Sts NW). There will be parallel actions in San Francisco (gather at 11 am at Civic Center Plaza) and Los Angeles (gather at noon at Olympic & Broadway, March to Downtown Federal Building).

Having spotted masses of legal-sized green flyers (featuring a rip-off of this Time Magazine cover) plastered all over the Highland campus, I was ready to freep our local division of the odious, Commie-backed National Youth and Student Peace Coalition. The flyer invited students to Faith United Methodist Church in Freeport at 1:30 the next day “to hear Vietnam Veteran Stanley Campbell speak about peace, activism, and the current situation in Iraq.” A peace vigil at Empire and West would follow at 3:00 pm. Since some of us actually have jobs to perform and educations to pursue, none of my usual...

MILLIONS of peace shirts, from slinky rainbow vests by the Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana to baggy, mass-produced sweatshirts, have been sold to protesters worldwide. Peace paraphernalia, once relegated to market stalls in Camden Town and Greenwich Village, has become a booming global industry as the anti-war movement gathers pace. Printing firms across Britain and America have reported huge increases in sales and are struggling to meet the demand for anti-war apparel. In London, a tiny firm of printers founded by radical punks in the 1970s has become a market leader. Fifth Column, which started out making T-shirts for the...

Setting the Record Straight By Christopher Westland Those on the left insist they have the A.N.S.W.E.R. for all of us. But the veneer of their thought process has worn extremely thin, along with the patience of most rational minds. It's not an exaggeration to say that anti-Americanism has been the main marching tune of the modern left for decades. Almost uniformly, they insist that America, her competitive private corporations, and the capital system are evil. But the left has conveniently exempted the nationalized corporations of socialist states and third world dictators — the true monopolies of the world. Pretending...

Internationl A.N.S.W.E.R. Plans An Agressive War By Juan PaxetySunday, March 02, 2003 International A.N.S.W.E.R. has set out it's plans for war in support of Saddam Hussein.

Forwarded from The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition Editorial - August 5, 1996 Stop Aid and Comfort for Patrons of Terror By Steven Emerson Like clockwork, the destruction of TWA Flight 800 and the explosion at the Olympics have led members of Congress and the Clinton administration to call for a host of new antiterrorist measures. The administration meanwhile touts the "successes" it has already achieved in the battle against terrorism. But the administration's deeds do not match its words. True, President Clinton has supported tough antiterrorism legislation. But his administration has failed to crack down on terrorist front...

WASHINGTON – America-haters ran the recent appeasement demonstrations. These longtime enemies of America are collaborating with radical Islamists who want to kill Americans. That fact belies the mainstream media's portrayal of "soccer moms," veterans, Democrats, Republicans, and other ordinary Americans as reflecting grassroots anger at President Bush’s policies in Iraq. Workers World Party (WWP), which organized the demonstrations, is ideologically aligned with the Stalinist nation of North Korea. This tiny Marxist-Leninist group is behind A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), with which former LBJ Attorney General Ramsey Clark is involved. David Horowitz, author of “The Hate America...

The Hate America Left By Ben Johnson FrontPageMagazine.com | February 25, 2003 At last weekend’s "peace" protests, tens of thousands called down curses upon George W. Bush and blessings on Saddam Hussein. The organizers and participants in these international rallies clearly were not interested in peace; they hope to see America’s enemies prevail. In their timely book The Hate America Left, editors David Horowitz and Jamie Glazov of FrontPage Magazine expose the seditious connections and unseemly goals of the new generation of anti-Americans. Even during the historic tragedies of September 11, the terrorists’ sympathizers did not quell their vitriolic attacks...

Southeast Raleigh High School in Raleigh, North Carolina has invited anti-war activist Lenore Yarger (member of ANSWER and Not In My Name crowd and human shield who went to Iraq) to speak to students Wednesday afternoon. She was invited by Social Studies Department with no one to balance her comments.

Some people on the far-Left have criticized my statements calling for an investigation of the neo-Communist background of some of the anti-war movement's organizers. However, they have not taken the time to investigate International A.N.S.W.E.R.'s ties to the avowedly Marxist Workers World Party or Not in Our Name's ties to long-time Maoist Bob Avakian's Revolutionary Communist Party. Village Voice columnist Nat Hentoff said my proposal asking Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, or Congress, to investigate the anti-war movement's ties to neo-Communist groups like the Worker's World Party and the Revolutionary Communist Party was un-American in an interview with the...

<p>As a possible war against Iraq draws closer, antiwar leaders are stepping up their tactics and refocusing their strategy this week toward putting direct pressure on political officeholders in Washington.</p> <p>Feeling the strength in the large numbers that turned out earlier this month to protest a US-led attack on Iraq, but keenly aware that the Bush administration seems to remain unmoved, protesters are planning other ways to get attention, from clogging senators' telephone lines and e-mail inboxes to urging voters to lobby congressional members to revoke the authority they gave President Bush to use force against Iraq to using civil disobedience. And today, a group of parents of soldiers who joined with members of Congress in a lawsuit to block an invasion of Iraq will present their arguments in federal court in Boston.</p>

Silent No Longer: The Anti-Anti-War Movement Giant ‘peace’ marches are a perennial favourite of the mainstream media. During every conflict (or period of great international tension) over the last forty years television and the print media have been filled with long and flowery tributes to the unruly mobs who fill the streets of great cities to shout meaningless slogans in rallies organized by communist front groups. These groups, even though they represent a minority of public opinion, are usually presented as being both idealistic and morally correct- as righteous paragons of virtue. The right has long chafed at the sympathetic...

The socialism of fools has returned to vogue not just in the Middle East and France, but in the American left and Washington. by David Brooks 02/21/2003 12:00:00 AM David Brooks, senior editor AFTER JOE LIEBERMAN completed his unsuccessful campaign for the vice-presidency, I pretty much concluded that anti-Semitism was no longer a major feature of American life. I went around making the case that the Anti-Defamation League should close up shop, since the evil they were organized to combat had shrunk to insignificance. Now I get a steady stream of anti-Semitic screeds in my e-mail, my voicemail, and in...

Do you have an inquisitive mind? How about a background in corporate research? If so, and you'd like to put it to work for Free Republic, I would like to invite you to join the FR "Citizens for Fair and Balanced Funding" (CFBF) Committee. CFBF conducts research into the activities, programs, funding and key individuals of the various groups & organizations that provide financial & other support to anti-American causes. A good example of an organization being researched is ANSWER & their parent organization, the People's Rights Fund. In many cases, these organizations knowingly violate IRS requirements for non-profit 501(c)3...

I have a question about these massive anti-war protests they’re having around the world. Who’s pulling the strings? Who’s behind it and what’s their agenda? And why do they operate in secrecy and anonymity? Not to sound like some crazy conspiratorialist – like Hillary Clinton or Timothy McVeigh – but the level of orchestration and coordination in these protests and mass demonstrations is so great and so widespread as to require extensive and central command and control. Translation: Somebody’s in charge. The question is: Who? For example, last Saturday as many as three million people in at least a dozen...

Communist Peace Movements: Then and NowBy Stephen Schwartz FrontPageMagazine.com | February 19, 2003 America and the Free World stand at a crossroads.  There are many historical echoes now of 1941, when America joined battle against Nazi and Japanese imperialism, and of 1950, when America rescued South Korea from Communist aggression. America today leads a coalition facing as great a danger as those our fathers and grandfathers faced: that of Islamist extremism.   Fuelled by Saudi Arabia’s totalitarian Wahhabi death cult, armed by the Communazi-style dictator of Iraq and supported both by ungrateful past beneficiaries of American blood sacrifice in Europe and...

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Feb. 19 -- President Saddam Hussein's government, apparently emboldened by antiwar sentiment at the U.N. Security Council and in worldwide street protests, has not followed through on its promises of increased cooperation with U.N. arms inspectors, according to inspectors in Iraq. No Iraqi scientist involved in biological, chemical or missile technology has consented to a private interview with the inspectors since Feb. 7, the day before the two chief U.N. inspectors arrived here for talks with Iraqi officials. The United Nations also has not received additional documents about past weapons programs, despite the government's pledge to set up...
