Donald Kaul has written columns for half a century, beginning with a long stint at the Des Moines Register that made him extremely well-known throughout Iowa. For many years, he was also syndicated nationally and his columns ran in dozens of other long since bankrupt newspapers as well.

The non-profit editorial service Minuteman Media, which has since been renamed [http://OtherWords.org OtherWords, began distributing his columns in 2001 following his retirement from the Register. In July 2012, he had a heart attack and declared that he needed a break. In December 2012, he un-retired again but said he’d decided to write without the constraints of a schedule.

The OtherWordseditorial service is a project of the Institute for Policy Studies, a progressive think tank based in Washington, D.C.

IPS - A History Intertwined with the Social Movements of the Past Half Century, Turning Ideas into Action for Peace, Justice, and the Environment

IPS likes to call itself a “progressive think tank” but during its whole history it has been an outright marxist disinformation and congressional penetration operation.

Its’ three founders are/were marxists of varying stripes. Raskin - hardcore; Barnett - Hanoi supporter and of many CPUSA and SWP fronts/causes; Waskow - leftist radical/ Mayday 1971 planner; faux Jewish thinker/leader (Reconstructionist Movement). Waskow also had his hands in the Hanoi Lobby.

Key IPS figures: Cora Weiss, hardcore Hanoi operative, daughter of Soviet agent of influence and CPUSA member, Samuel Rubin, and married to German-refugee marxist Peter Weiss (NLG/CCR/NECLC, and just about everything else in the marxist movement). Barbara Bick - CPUSA; Saul Landau - Castro propagandist; Bob Borosage - IPS leader; now Soros’ -Open Society Institute and Campaign for American Progress; Orlando Letelier, former Chilean marxist ambassador, paid Cuban DGI agent; Tariq Ali, marxist; etc.

See: Steven Powell, “Covert Cadre” for an extensive look into IPS’s marxism.

Their economic section’s first publication was called “Benchmarx”, I kid you not.

Thought that Kaul would be involved with one of the marxist public opinion/propaganda operations.

Thanks for the infor.

He had a heart attack but then ‘unretired’? He should re-retire. The guy’s obviously unhinged with some serious anger-management problems, fomenting violence and making threats. I see a competency hearing in his immediate future. Let’s hope this nut doesn’t have a gun.

Kaul worked as a Register columnist but was fired for refusing to write about anything but national issues. After he left, his name was not allowed to be mentioned in the Register newsroom for the better part of three decades.

Then, after the Register had whacked away at it's writing bench, he's back...
