This is absolutely mandatory reading for any of you who may have slipped a bit in our condemnation of the left as I recently have.
I want to thank Linda Kimball for the clear and concise consolidation of the following information. I have taken it a step further for those of you who are like me and just want it all in one article you can print for later reading. Please print and read this one. Linda yanked me back to reality…
The New Left, Cultural Marxism, and Psychopolitics Disguised as Multiculturalism
There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. “The Sixties are dead,” wrote columnist George Will (Slamming the Doors, Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991)
Because the New Left lacked cohesion it fell apart as a political movement. However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace’ activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay’ rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of subversive organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.
Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. Code words by which they can be recognized are: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.
Birth of Multiculturalism
In anticipation of the revolutionary storm that would baptize the world in an inferno of red terror, leading to its rebirth as the promised land of social justice and proletarian equality—Frederich Engels wrote, “All the…large and small nationalities are destined to perish…in the revolutionary world storm… (A general war will) wipe out all…nations, down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes…but…reactionary peoples.” (The Magyar Struggle, Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Jan. 13, 1849)
By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world’s proletariat had not heeded Marx’s call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.
Separately, two Marxist theorists—Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary—concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.
Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the workers class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a “long march through the culture.” Additionally, a new proletariat must be created. In his “Prison Notebooks,” he suggested that the new proletariat be comprised of many criminals, women, and racial minorities.
The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history. All of these things must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.
In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary. Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated patriarchal family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow, Lukacs--towards this end--launched a radical sex education program in the schools. Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority. All of this was accompanied by a reign of cultural terror perpetrated against parents, priests, and dissenters.
Hungary’s youth, having been fed a steady diet of values-neutral (atheism) and radical sex education while simultaneously encouraged to rebel against all authority, easily turned into delinquents ranging from bullies and petty thieves to sex predators, murderers, and sociopaths.
Lukacs plans were the precursor to what Cultural Marxism in the guise of SIECUS, GSLEN, and the ACLU--acting as enforcer--later brought into American schools.
In 1923, the Frankfurt School—a Marxist think-tank—was founded in Weimar Germany. Among its founders were Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno. The school was a multidisciplinary effort which included sociologists, sexologists, and psychologists.
The primary goal of the Frankfurt School was to translate Marxism from economic terms into cultural terms. Toward this end, Marcuse—who favored polymorphous perversion—expanded the ranks of Gramsci’s new proletariat by including homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals. Into this was spliced Lukacs radical sex education and cultural terrorism tactics. Gramsci’s ‘long march’ was added to the mix, and then all of this was wedded to Freudian psychoanalysis and psychological conditioning techniques. The end product was Cultural Marxism, known in the West as multiculturalism.
In 1950, the Frankfurt School augmented Cultural Marxism with Theodor Adorno’s idea of the ‘authoritarian personality.’ This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism. Thus, anyone who upholds America’s traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America’s traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.
The pernicious influence of Adorno’s ‘authoritarian personality’ idea can be clearly seen in the following quote: “In Aug., 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million tax-payer funded study. It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed. Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives…suffer from ‘mental rigidity,’ ‘dogmatism,’ and ‘uncertainty avoidance,’ together with associated indicators for mental illness.” (www.edwatch.org ‘Social and Emotional Learning” Jan. 26, 2005) From this Orwellian quote we can see just how successful has been Gramsci’s ‘long march through the culture.’
The corresponding and diabolically crafted corrective idea is political correctness. The strong suggestion here is that in order for one not to be thought of as racist or fascist, then one must not only be nonjudgmental but must also embrace the ‘new’ moral absolutes: diversity, choice, sensitivity, sexual orientation, and tolerance. Political correctness is a Machiavellian psychological ‘command and control’ device. Its purpose is the imposition of uniformity in thought, speech, and behavior.
Critical theory is yet another psychological ‘command and control’ device. As stated by Daniel J. Flynn, “Critical Theory, as its name implies, criticizes. What deconstruction does to literature, Critical Theory does to societies.” (Intellectual Morons, p 15-16) Critical Theory is an ongoing and brutal assault via vicious criticism relentlessly leveled against Christians, Christmas, the Boy Scouts, Ten Commandments, our military, and all other aspects of traditional American culture and society.
Both political correctness and Critical Theory are in essence, psychological bullying. They are the psycho political battering rams by which Frankfurt School disciples such as the ACLU are forcing Americans to submit to and to obey the will and the way of the Left. These devious devices are but psychological versions of Georg Lukacs and Laventi Beria’s ‘cultural terrorism’ tactics. In the words of Beria, “Obedience is the result of force…Force is the antithesis of humanizing actions. It is so synonymous in the human mind with savageness, lawlessness, brutality, and barbarism, that it is only necessary to display an inhuman attitude toward people to be granted by those people the possessions of force.” (The Russian Manual on Psychopolitics: Obedience, by Laventi Beria, head of Soviet Secret Police and Stalin’s right-hand man)
Double-thinking ‘fence-sitters’, otherwise known as moderates, centrists, and RINOs are an obvious result of these psychological ‘obedience’ techniques. These people—afraid of incurring the wrath of name-calling obedience trainers--- have opted to straddle the fence lest they be found guilty of possessing an opinion, one way or another. At the merest hint of displeasure from the obedience-trainers, up goes the yellow flag of surrender upon which it is boldly written: “I believe in nothing and am tolerant of everything!”
The linchpin of Cultural Marxism is cultural determinism, the parent of identity politics and group solidarity. In its turn, cultural determinism was birthed by the Darwinian idea that man is but a soulless animal and therefore his identity is determined by for example, his skin color or his sexual and/or erotic preferences. This proposition rejects the concepts of the human spirit, individuality, free will, and morally informed conscience (paired with personal accountability and responsibility) because it emphatically denies the existence of the God of the Bible. Consequently, and by extension, it also rejects the first principles of our liberty enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. These are our “unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Cultural Marxism must reject these because these principles of liberty “are endowed by our Creator,” who made man in His image.
Cultural determinism, states David Horowitz, is “identity politics—the politics of radical feminism, q***r revolution, and Afro-centrism—which is the basis of academic multiculturalism…a form of intellectual fascism and, insofar as it has any politics, of political fascism as well.” (Mussolini and Neo-Fascist Tribalism: Up from Multiculturalism, by David Horowitz, Jan. 1998)
It is said that courage is the first of the virtues because without it fear will paralyze man, thus keeping him from acting upon his moral convictions and speaking truth. Thus bringing about a general state of paralyzing fear, apathy, and submission—the chains of tyranny—is the purpose behind psychopolitical cultural terrorism, for the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda must, at all costs, be clothed in darkness.
The antidote is courage and the light of truth. If we are to win this cultural war and reclaim and rebuild America so our children and their children’s children can live in a ‘Shining City on the Hill’ where liberty, families, opportunity, free markets, and decency flourish, we must muster the courage to fearlessly expose the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda to the Light of Truth. Truth and the courage to speak it will set us free.

Trotsky’s ‘Permanent Revolution’ in America
Never before in the history of the world, has mankind witnessed the magnitude of human suffering, the utter social and familial devastation, and genocide of planetary proportions as has been seen by mankind through the actualization of Marxist theories.
It was during Marxism’s first incarnation as Marxist-Trotskyism that the patriarchal family and Russia’s Orthodox Christian church, in addition to all of Russia’s other Christian churches, were brutally shattered and destroyed. Because the family and religion are the bedrock of civilization, both had to be completely destroyed for Trotsky’s vision of a new social order populated by a New Man.
As a horrified world finally began turning away from Marxism, unrepentant Western world revolutionaries determined to keep Trotsky’s vision of world conquest alive. Conquest would be achieved through Trotsky’s theory of ‘Permanent Revolution.’
In America, unrepentant revolutionaries coalesced into a new movement during the 1960s. They called themselves the New Left.
Beginning with Lenin’s atheist premise: “God is dead, therefore humans are only stupid, soulless animals, much like dogs that can be trained and manipulated under the right conditions and with the right inducements,” the New Left began infiltrating and taking control of America’s culture-shaping “idea producing’ institutions. Their goal was to psychologically manipulate Americans into committing spiritual, cultural, political, and ultimately demographic suicide. This would be achieved through Psychopolitics, the science of sinister psychological manipulation.
The multifaceted attack began in America as it had begun in Russia under Lenin and Trotsky—with attacks upon the patriarchal family and Christianity.
Before long, the notion that marriage, domesticity and family are types of slavery began to be heard. Temptations such as ‘free-love,’ porn, and drugs were held out to husbands and fathers while the ears of wives and mothers were filled with the poisonous notion that they were sex-slaves to their husbands. “Liberation and personal fulfillment,” it was suggested, “were to be found outside the home in the workplace.” Easy divorce, abortions on demand, and plenty of daycare centers, it was insinuated, were necessary to achievement of self-fulfillment. Government-controlled schools helpfully offered various social programs, including feeding programs.
The idea that ‘unisex is cool’ was smoothly slotted into position. This was eventually followed by the idea that sodomy and erotic fantasies were the same thing as having black skin or being Irish or Italian. People who do these things, it was inferred, are a ‘species’ or ‘class’ of people who ought to have the same rights as everyone else. This new species or class is called ‘gays,’ it was intimated. The word ‘pride’ became attached to everything about the new class. Through judicial chicanery, sodomy laws were declared unconstitutional and struck down, thus awarding the new ‘species’ of ‘gay’ people with the right to engage in sodomy. “Gays ought to have the right to marry and have children (even though they cannot procreate),’ we were told.
Then very quietly, so no one would notice, the word ‘gay’ acquired an expanded meaning…sexual continuum. Almost immediately, the newly expanded definition was redefined to ‘polymorphous,” also known as androgynous, thus bringing us full circle to unisex. The gospel of unisex (also known as q_eer theory) began being taught in America’s universities. It crept into lower schools disguised as “safe school” programs. Soon little boys in some schools were being coaxed into wearing dresses.
“All of the very best people—the progressively enlightened, tolerant, and broadminded type of people—support the ‘gay civil rights’ movement while only backwards, superstition-believing Christians and red-state rednecks don’t,” we were instructed to believe. “These latter are hateful bigots who ought to be forced into ‘shutting-up’ by having hate-crime laws imposed upon them,” Trotskyites slyly suggested.
Along with the growth of these new ideas, a ‘peace and justice’ movement sprang to life. “Imperialist wars for oil” we were advised to believe, “are the world’s greatest evils.” Therefore, returning American vets deserved to be spat upon and accused of being baby killers and sadomasochists. Movies were churned out depicting our soldiers as drug-crazed murderers. America’s main stream media happily furthered these destructive messages.
“America is not a Christian nation and our Founders, being mostly atheists and deists, feared and loathed religion, and Christianity in particular,” brazenly lied Trotskyite history revisionists. Aggressive campaigns to eradicate loathsome Christianity were launched. One for the purpose of psychologically manipulating American dupes into accepting communist agitprop. The other for the removal of Christian symbols in tandem with outrageous attempts at terrorizing Christians into disappearing into the woodwork.
“A ‘multicultural’ America is a very good thing for our democracy,” trumpeted obnoxiously deceitful New Leftists. Thus the poison of nation-destroying communist multiculturalism was injected into America’s culture and politics. Along with it came other poisonous baggage: political correctness, speech codes, sensitivity training, and open borders agendas.
Weaving in and through this toxic brew has been the steady drumbeat of “America is bad…America is evil…America is corrupt…America deserves to be punished.” Linked with the poisonous drumbeat has been a malevolent whisper campaign to sow seeds of discord: envy, victimization, suspicion, fear, and distrust.
It has taken about forty years for the traitorous New Left to bring America to its current level of disunity, decay, debauchery, and chaos. In Bolshevik Russia, by contrast, all of these things occurred with terrifying speed and with deadly consequences.
Under Lenin and Trotsky, marriage was simply abolished and the patriarchal family crushed. Divorce was made easy, abortions were free, and “free-love” of every type abounded. When asked, “Is Bolshevism deliberately destroying the family?” Trotsky emphatically responded, ‘yes’. (Family Relations Under the Soviets, Leon Trotsky, 1934; www.marxists.org)
Why destroy the traditional family? Karl Kautsky explained, “communism…tries to convert its community into a new family…the presence of the traditional family tie is…a disturbing influence.” The utopian society, in other words, is to be one big commune where the “brotherhood of unisex industrial robots” have anonymous sex with anonymous partners. Children, if not aborted, will be raised in State incubators. (www.marxists.org)
Towards this end, it was seen as necessary to try and destroy sexual polarity (the two sexes) and condition mankind to accept the idea of androgyny (unisex).
The Bolsheviks literally tore down “the walls that divided homosexuality…from the rest of society.” (People of the Moonlight” www.workers.org) New Soviet legislation was “tolerant, diverse and inclusive.” It stressed that “all forms of sexual gratification should be treated the same way—as natural.” (The War to End all Wars” www.workers.org) For further information, see my previous article “The Bolsheviks ‘Gay Pride’ Disaster and its Lessons for America”.
Trotsky’s Bolsheviks brutally crushed the Christian church and killed millions of Christians. Before the Revolution, 83.4 percent of the population identified as Christians. Since the revolution, some sixty million people were killed and sixty-six million sent to prisons and labor camps. At least half of these were Christians.
As revealed by the Library of Congress: “The Soviet Union was the first state to have as an ideological objective the elimination of religion…the communist regime confiscated church property, ridiculed religion, harassed believers, and propagated atheism in the schools. The main target was the Russian Orthodox Church…Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers were shot or sent to labor camps.” (Revelations from the Russian Archives, Library of Congress). With two exceptions—the killing of believers and the confiscation of church property—the anti-Christ New Left is already doing everything else on the list.
Under Lenin and Trotsky, the State took control of millions of children. About half were orphaned due to the revolution and the famine. The other half however, were orphaned as a direct consequence of Lenin and Trotsky’s cruelly inhumane dekulakization and collectivization schemes in combination with their determined efforts at destroying the family. These children were crowded into deplorable state-run Detdomas (schools) and their minds filled with atheism and values-free teaching. The idealized “New Man” which communist planners thought to create, turned out to be anti-social monsters. Russian citizens, wearied and angered by Detdoma criminals, reacted with shouts of “Beasts!” “Damned hooligans!” “Damned bandits!” “”They should be destroyed!” Even the Chairman of the Baku Children’s Commission characterized them as “robbers, hooligans, and murderers, impossible to mold into human beings.” Another official said they “will never become human beings; every one will…end up in Solovoki (labor camp). (And Now My Soul is Hardened: Abandoned Children in Soviet Russia, 1918-1930, Alan M. Ball; ark.cdlib.org)
Stalin, though one of history’s greatest mass-murderers, did at least try to revive the family and put an end to Russia’s epidemic of crime and debauchery. Toward these ends he all but put an end to divorce and abortion. Sodomy, prostitution, and homosexuality were criminalized and decrees promulgated aimed at “bringing to justice, and punishing with the full force of law, any adolescent older than twelve who is convicted of burglary, acts of violence, grievous bodily harm, mutilation, or murder.” Courts were secretly advised that the “full force of law” includes the death penalty. (The Black Book of Communism, p. 177)
On March 8, 1983 President Reagan delivered his famous “evil empire” speech at the Annual Convention of the National Association of Evangelicals. He said, “The Soviet system…has purposely starved, murdered, and brutalized its own people. Millions were killed; it’s all right there in the history books. It put…citizens it disagreed with into psychiatric hospitals…drugging them into oblivion. Is this system that allowed this not evil?” (www.ronaldreagan.com)
“This system” (communism) is indeed evil, and today it is working its evil right here in America. Already suggestions have been made by Leftists that conservatives and Christians are ‘mentally ill.’ Likewise, and just as happened in Russia, America’s atheist controlled Detdoma (schools) are churning out monsters. How is it that so many Americans cannot see this evil even when it twists and perverts their own children into sociopaths, sex predators, and murderers such as the Columbine killers? It is as if millions of American’s are sleep-walking to their doom. Wake up, Americans! Trotsky’s Permanent Revolution is already half-way completed.

Exposing America’s Enemies: the ‘Social Justice Seeking’ Communist Left
On one hand, Americans were outraged and appalled by the 1 May immigrant demonstrations that clogged streets and virtually closed down some cities. Law abiding citizens saw lawbreakers who not only seemed to feel justified in their criminal behavior, but also believed they ought to be rewarded for it.
On the other hand, Americans are more infuriated and disgusted with their duly elected government officials in both legislative and administrative branches for not enforcing the law and protecting the rights of citizens. President Bush and the weak-kneed GOP have deservedly come under fire. However, if our sovereign nation is to survive, I is of paramount importance that the harsh light of truth be focused upon the subversive element responsible for creating an atmosphere conducive to lawlessness and tyrannical militants brazenly declaring their intentions to ‘conquer’ the Southwest and to throw Americans out of their homes and off of their land.
The subversive element—a motley collection of Marxists, Stalinists, Trotskyists, Maoists, anarchists and malcontents—organized themselves in the 60’s and became known as the New Left. For over forty years the New Left has been waging a Gramscian ‘quiet’ revolution for the overthrow of the America of our Founders. Today these subversives call themselves liberals, progressives and Democrats. Even though there yet remains good, decent Democrats such as Zell Miller, the majority as David Horowitz attested to, are social justice seeking communists. “The Democratic Party is very close to being the (Communist-controlled Progressive) party of Henry Wallace…The vast bulk of the American left is a Communist left and they’ve introduced some fascist ideas like “identity politics,” which is straight out of Mussolini.” (How Marxism Dominates the Left, Phil Brennan, NewsMax.com, June 1, 2005)
America’s Communist Left operates in a vast interconnected matrix of revolutionary groups disguised as respectable civil rights and legal organizations. These front groups have consistently worked towards the transformation of America through subversion of America’s Rule of Law, Constitution, judiciary, and all institutions necessary to the longevity and health of our nation and civilization. These groups attack all national security measures, subvert immigration laws and procedures, lobby on behalf of terrorist and enemy combatants and engage in propagandistic apologetics for the most brutal dictatorships in the world even as they constantly vilify and demean America and Americans. As they do these things to destroy America and shame Americans, they hypocritically portray themselves as defenders of democracy and humanity.
The purpose of this article is to expose, at least in part, some of the principal communist groups responsible for undermining and weakening America and who likewise serve as a power source, not only for the militant Marxist organizers of the recent demonstrations, but for Islamic jihadists as well.
The Quiet Revolution
In 1984, “The Power to Lead” was published. In it, author James McGregor Burns admitted: “The Framers of the US Constitution have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are to ‘turn the Founders upside down’…we must directly confront the constitutional structure they erected.” (A Chronological History: The New World Order by D.L. Cuddy PhD)
Turning the ‘Founders upside down’ and directly confronting the ‘constitutional structure’ are what the American Civil Liberties Union, National Lawyers Guild, and The Center for Constitutional Rights are committed to doing. Together, these three communist front groups comprise the “legal left,” and they slash and rip at the fabric of the constitutional framework.
The ACLU was established in 1920 by Roger Baldwin, a Stalinist who candidly admitted: “I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately, for abolishing the state itself.” On the Communist Party USA website, the ACLU can be found at this link: www.cpusa.org/link/category/22/
When not working with and defending terrorists like Sami al-Arian, the ACLU terrorizes towns into removing Ten Commandments monuments and crosses and persecutes and intimidates Boy Scouts and law abiding Christians. The ACLU’s Immigrant Task Force and Immigrant Rights Project are a dual driving force in the Open Borders Lobby. Among current projects: dissolving America’s borders, erasing all evidence of Christianity and God and requiring the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to provide free legal counsel to illegals while simultaneously demanding that illegals be provided with full welfare benefits.
The ACLU and its partner groups receive funding from a large assortment of subversive leftist funders. Among them: Arca Foundation, Ford Foundation, George Soros Open Society Institute, Rockefeller Foundation, Woods Fund of Chicago (Source: www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org)
The National Lawyers Guild was founded in 1936 by the Communist Party USA. The NLG is an active affiliate of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, which served as a Soviet front group during the Cold War. The NLG defines its mission as an effort to: “unite lawyers, law students, legal workers, and jailhouse lawyers of America (to) function as an effective political and social force…to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests.” In other words, their mission is to ‘deKulakize’ America in the name of social justice.
In 1999, NLG member Chip Berlet described a Guild ‘communist debate’ session: “The cacophony at some meetings (arises from) debates featuring…Leninist, Trotskyite, Stalinists…Maoist…Marxist, anarchists, libertarians and progressive independents…with multiple identities as lawyers, legal workers, labor organizers, tribal sovereignty activists, civil liberties and civil rights advocates, environmentalists, feminists, gay men and lesbians, and people of color.” Chip Berlet is an activist with Morris Dees Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), another communist front group and Open Borders member.
Not coincidentally, it was the SPLC that ‘redistributed’—in the name of social justice—an Arizona ranchers’ property to some illegal aliens. This incident was detailed in an article entitled: “Two Illegal Immigrants Win Arizona Ranch in Court,” New York Times, 8/19/05. Dees was quoted as saying, “…it’s poetic justice that these undocumented workers own this land”
Like the ACLU, the NLG is a key member of the Open Borders Lobby. It’s National
Immigration Project consists of a network of lawyers, law students and legal workers committed to “full democratic rights for all non-citizens”---in the name of social justice.
The NLG receives funding from, among others, the George Soros Open Society Institute and the Ford Foundation. (Source: www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org)
The last of the trio is the Center for Constitutional Rights. It was founded in 1966 by pro-Castro attorneys Morton Stavis, Ben Smith, Arthur Kinoy, and William Kuntsler.
The CCR prides itself on using “litigation proactively to advance the law in a positive direction to guarantee the rights of those with the fewest protections.” This is communist code for: “We subvert America’s laws.” Among those deemed by the CCR to be in need of protection are terrorist organizations, enemy combatants, and illegal immigrants.
The CCR receives funding from the Ford Foundation and George Soros Open Society Institute. (Source: www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org)
Two principal front groups, both of whom disguise their treachery as ‘civil rights,” are United for Peace and Justice and Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride.
The UFPJ is a rabidly anti-American, anti-war coalition co-chaired by committed communist Leslie Cagan. Cagan, who worships upon Fidel Castro’s altar, was an original founder of the Committees of Correspondence, a splinter group of the Communist Party USA. The UFPJ was created Oct. 25, 2002 in the Washington D.C. offices of People for the American Way, which played a key role in forming UFPJ. UFPJ is a sponsoring organization of the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride.
UFPJ’s social justice agenda extends well beyond anti-war activism as it is also a pro-abortion, pro-open borders advocate that condemns nearly every aspect of American culture and our government’s foreign policy. (Source: www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org)
The Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride (IWFR), another key player in the Open Borders Lobby, is supported by the ACLU and Communist Party USA. Additionally, it has the backing of Dennis Kucinich, Howard Dean and Joe Lieberman.Among other groups listed as members of the IWFRC’s national sponsoring committee are ACORN, National Council of La Raza, National Immigration Forum, and United for Peace and Justice.
At the link below are literally hundreds of sponsors of IWFR, such as: Democratic Senators, Representatives, County Board Supervisors, Governors, town council members, radical organizations, liberalized Christian and non-Christian churches, political parties (including CPUSA and Democratic Socialists of America).

Many thousands of Americans have been taken in by a myth. The myth states that communism died when the Soviet Union imploded. It further says that in these ‘enlightened progressive times,’ only superstition-believing McCarthyite rednecks still believe in the communist boogieman. The myth of course, was created by New Left communists to whom seduction, deception, and psychological manipulation are the ‘rules of the game.’ Gramsci’s transformational revolution is very much alive. It’s spreading the cancer of godless communism—the ideology from Hades—throughout the length and breadth of our culture--corrupting and decaying everything it touches.
President Ronald Reagan cautioned that: “…without God, there is no virtue because there’s no prompting of the conscience. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”
Americans---awaken and remember!

Exposing America’s Enemies, Part 2: Communist Progressive Democrats
From Exposing America’s Enemies: the ‘Social Justice Seeking’ Communist Left, comes this relevant quote: “For over forty years the New Left has been waging a Gramscian ‘quiet’ revolution for the overthrow of America’s Constitution, Rule of Law, sovereignty, and our way of life. Today the subversives call themselves liberals, progressives, and Democrats (and) as David Horowitz attested to (the majority are) social justice seeking communists.
“The Democratic Party is very close to being the (Communist-controlled Progressive) party of Henry Wallace…the vast bulk of the American Left is a communist left.” (How Marxism Dominates the Left, Phil Brennan, NewsMax.com, June 1, 2005)
The Backbone Campaign is a communist front group in the lefts vast interconnected matrix of revolutionary groups. On its website it declares its goal is to: “empower citizens to nominate, comment on, and rate progressive leaders to serve as a virtual Progressive Parallel Administration…we are not content running campaigns, but preparing to run the country.” (www.backbonecampaign.org/cabinet/)
Chief among Backbone Campaign sponsoring organizations is the Progressive Democrats of America, who are committed to: “dismantling the military industrial complex.” (ibid)
“The Progressive Caucus is made up of the most Far-Left members of Congress and best represents the socialist wing of the Democratic Party.” (Radical Road Maps, James H. Hansen, p. 186) Progressive Democrats are responsible for installing Howard Dean as Democratic National Chairman. In Feb. 2005, Dean was quoted by U.S. News and World Report as exclaiming: “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for.” Deans power base, according to DiscoverTheNetwork.org, are a bunch of “campus communists.” The Progressive Caucus will be the focus of this article.
Social Justice is Communism
Judging from the adolescent name-calling and howls of protest which my previous article elicited from Progressive groups such as the Democratic Underground, it is obvious that the enraged howlers have no idea of what it really means for one to be a seeker of social justice. Either that or they really do know but are deceivers of the first magnitude.
Be that as it may, some clarification and definition of the terms—social justice and communism-- is in order before proceeding on to the issue of Progressive Democrats.
To most Americans, communism means the Kremlin, gulags, killing fields, and Mao’s brutal Red Guard. These things though were not the essence of communism. They were the visible manifestations of inhumane power and its consequences, all of which resulted when social justice seekers acquired total control to remake society and man.
The essence of communism is social justice, or justice in the social sphere. This is code for the elimination of poverty, of suffering, and of all differences between humans that erect walls between people. Fundamentally, social justice is a process of elimination that results in sameness (egalitarianism). When social justice seekers speak of the need for equality, what they’re really calling for is sameness.
However, the attributes which make people different from each other and which social justice seekers are determined to eliminate, are the product of human nature and of freely made choices. For instance, some people are ambitious and hard-working while others are indolent and lazy and may willfully choose to live out of the pockets of the former.
It’s the positive aspects of human nature that make a society dynamic. Dynamism is the animating force behind America’s greatness--her productivity, excellence, creativity, free markets, etc. In eliminating human differences, social justice seekers kill all of this, and as they did in the former Soviet Union, leave behind a smoking ruin haunted by despairing cookie-cutter claymation beings.
In speaking of the social justice process of elimination, Balint Vazsonyi remarked, “Prophets of social justice—communists, whether by that name or any other name—focus on who should have less. Because they have nothing to give, they can only take away. First, they take away opportunity. Next, they take away possessions. In the end, they have to take away life itself.” (America’s 30 Years War, Balint Vazsonyi, p. 59)
The America of our Founders simply cannot coexist with the Search for Social Justice. For instance, as designed by our Founders, the Rule of Law exists to guarantee that unequal (different) people can have individual liberty, rights and possessions—including land ownership, which social justice seekers view as the original sin. Social justice demands that those who possess more of anything have it taken away from those who earned it and redistributed to those who did nothing to earn it.
“Social Justice Seeking” Democratic Progressive Caucus
The Democratic Progressive Caucus (DPC) is an organization comprised of about sixty Members of Congress. It was founded in 1991 by Rep. Bernie Sanders, former socialist mayor of Burlington, VT and member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The DSA describes itself as, “the principle U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.” (www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org)
The DPC advances its communist agenda behind innocuous sounding phrases such as social and economic justice. The three core principles of The Progressive Promise are:
1. Fighting for economic justice and security for all. (Code for: We’re going to ‘eliminate poverty and suffering’ by taking away all of your possessions and redistributing them.)
2. Protecting and preserving our civil rights and civil liberties. (Code for: We’re going to ‘eliminate’ all differences and pound everyone down to the lowest common denominator).
3. Promoting global peace and security. (Code for: We—your Superiors—will finally feel secure and at peace once agendas 1-2 have been carried out to completion.)

In “Pelosi Leader of Progressive Caucus,” it was revealed: “Until 1999, the website of the Progressive Caucus was hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Following an expose of the link between the two organizations in World Net Daily, the Progressive Caucus established its own website.” (WorldNetDaily.com, Nov 11, 2002)
On the website of the DSA it boldly declares: “We are socialists…Democracy and socialism go hand in hand…wherever…democracy has taken root, the vision of socialism has taken root as well.” (www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org) The DSA increases its influence and power by networking with the Democratic Party to advance social justice programs and policies such as affirmative action and Stalinist hate crime laws. “Like our friends and allies in the feminist, labor, civil rights, religious, and community movements, many of us have been active in the Democratic Party.” (ibid)
Following are brief descriptions of some of the social justice seeking subversives in the Democratic Progressive Caucus whose words and actions embrace the tenets of communism:
1. Barbara Lee (D-CA): “former agent of the Black Panther leader and convicted killer, Huey Newton. Lee conspired with fellow communist, Cong. Ron Dellums, who used his authority to impede US foreign policy with regard to the Communist dictatorship of Grenada.” (www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org) “anti-American Communist who supports America’s enemies and has actively collaborated with them.” (Radical Road Map, James H. Hansen, p.189)
2. Jim McDermott (D-WA): “In 2002, McDermott and fellow Progressive Caucus member Rep. David Bonoir (D-Mich) and Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) traveled to Baghdad, where they publicly embraced Saddam Hussein and created propaganda on his behalf.” (www.DiscoverTheNetWork.org)
3. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill), who has accepted an award from the DSA once told one of its writers: “The American people are not ideological; therefore, the way to go is to attack private power.” (ibid)
4. John Conyers (D-MI): “In 1981 Conyers co-hosted a delegation from the Soviet front World Peace Council, giving that group a forum in Congress. Conyers endorsed a Communist-led antiwar demonstration in Washington in 1983 and…spoke at another Washington demonstration led by ANSWER in 2003.” (Radical Road Map’s, James H. Hansen, p 189)
5. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) “has taken part in…CAIR (a radical group with ties to Mideast terrorist organizations) events…including a Ramadan iftar…hosted (on Capitol Hill) by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), and Barbara Lee (D-CA).” (Kucinich Headlines Muslim Fundraiser, WorldNetDaily.com, Nov. 30, 2003)
The Constitution requires that members of Congress “shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support this constitution.” The Oath of Office sworn to by US Senators reads:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the U.S…that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Very simply, if Democratic Progressive Caucus members truthfully believed in the Christian-Judeo God and likewise in our Constitution---the document conceived of by our Founders and not the Lefts living document nonsense—they wouldn’t be social justice seeking communists. Rather, they would be Conservative Constitutionalists. That they are social justice seekers tells us that when they took their oath before God, they lied. Quite simply—they lied.
In Noah Webster’s 1828 edition of the American Dictionary of the English Language we find the correct term to apply to treacherous Democratic Progressives. That word is “traitor,” and the following definition is the one most likely referred to by our Founders. “Traitor: One who violates allegiance and betrays his country; one guilty of treason…who, in breach of trust, delivers his country to its enemy…who aids an enemy in conquering his country.”
Through use of Stalinist psycho-politics, America’s Communist Left imprisoned the consciences of Americans within psychic strait-jackets of political correctness. As long as we allow ourselves to be chained by political correctness, we will not be able to identify and speak openly about our enemies---those without, and those within. In the absence of freedom of conscience and of clear and honest speaking, we can neither formulate strategies for our safety nor deal appropriately with the treacherous deceivers operating amongst us who are colluding with our enemies and plotting to destroy our nation from within. The first order of business then, is for all Americans to break out of the psychic strait jackets of political correctness, thus allowing Truth to expose the treachery and treason at work in our nation.
Truth will set us free: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
