------- Forwarded message follows ------- Useful Idiots: Marxists Exploit the Appeasement Movement Wes Vernon, NewsMax.com Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2003 WASHINGTON Longtime communist supporters in the United States are rallying behind post-9/11 jihadists who want to kill Americans. Security experts have told NewsMax.com that longtime leftist America-haters are deeply involved in organizing the appeasement demonstrations against war with Iraq. The mainstream media, which fawned over these demonstrations, painted a picture of Main Street America trying to send a grassroots message to President Bush. But they did not connect any of the dots tracing their control and organization to tiny but influential Marxist organizations. Why would old communist supporters back Islamist extremists? David Horowitz, author of the new book The Hate America Left, says hard-line leftists doing the bidding of fanatical Islamic fundamentalists dont have a plan beyond destruction. Longtime security official Herbert Romerstein agrees. The pro-Marxist group that really started the demonstrations and controlled the demonstrations that took place in Washington in the last year or so is a group called the Workers World Party, which is ideologically in support of the North Korean government, he told NewsMax. He says the groups plan of destruction, to which Horowitz alluded, fits hand in glove with North Koreas creating provocations to get our attention off Iraq and are very happy that these people are in the United States organizing demonstrations in support of Iraq. Romertstein has been watching Workers World Party for years going back to his days as a top staffer for the House Internal Security Committee (the renamed House Committee on Un American Activities). In 1974, the year before congressional left- wingers put it out of business, that committee issued a report, based largely on Romersteins investigations, exposing in detail WWP, citing names and dates of its pro-North-Korea drive. In his NewsMax interview, he said it was a little bit bizarre that anybody should pay attention to the lunatics ... constantly making pilgrimages to Pyongyang to lay flowers at the grave of [the late dictator] Kim Il Sung, and to pledge their support to [son and successor] Kim Jung Il. Horowitz and Romerstein say North Koreas interest in supporting Iraqs interests lies in the old adage that the enemy of my enemy is my freind. Horowitz, a red diaper baby who grew up in a communist household and later became a conservative, knows the hard left all too well. He told NewsMax that the demonstrations here in Washington and in other cities included operatives from the old communist left, the new communist left, and the next communist left. These are people who have supported Americas enemies for 20, 30, 40 years. Not all of them are genetic leftists, he said, but they subscribe to the fundamental views of the left which is that America is the great Satan and that private property and corporations... are the source of evil in the world. Ronald Radosh, another red diaper baby and author of the book 2001 book Commies, has said there is certainly room for a true grassroots anti-war movement in this country. But for the likes of Workers World Party to manage and direct the appeasement movement is to distort and corrupt the debate. Next: The hard left in the U.S. finds there is life after the Soviet Union. ------- End of forwarded message ------- -- Outgoing mail is certified virus free Scanned by Norton AntiVirus <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
