ADN’s investigation coincides with a recent Sunday report published by the New York Post that revealed a radical NYC based organization known as The People’s Forum familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques just hours before they stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, and that the group was incited by Manolo De Los Santos–a radical activist organizer with deep ties to communist Cuba.

It obviously was a planned operation. Somebody planned it. One was a forty-year-old trust funder living off his parents' money who lived in a fancy Brooklyn brownstone and was out playing college student.

History repeats......well, continues. A prominent figure in the Vietnam anti-war movement in Boston, (whose boss at WBCN was my unwelcome roomie for a time) trained in Cuba. Went on to a career at CBS. His bio on Wiki of course does not mention this.

Cuba is having troubles. Now might be a good time to try to put pressure on the regime to collapse.
