WHO ORGANIZED THE RALLIES THIS PAST WEEKEND??--VANITY

[LuvUSA]

Who organized the most recent rallies??? Was it the Workers World Party (A.N.S.W.E.R.) again or another group? The reason for the question is because there was some Leftist woman on Donahue last nIght saying more than once that her group (forgot the name) was the organizer, not A.N.S.W.E.R.

(forgot the name)

Was it 'United For Peace', or something like that?

The group that claimed to sponser our event here in Raleigh NC was United For Peace And Justice

Paid for by the New World Foundation. According to the SF Chron, they underwrote Vanguard, who paid for the protests in San Fransisco - $100,000 worth. How many others they paid for is unknown; NWF is a huge, multinational non-profit org with ties to everything under the sun, including Hillary Clinton. Read this post and find out.

Yah, big deal. United for Peace and Justice organized the NY rally last weekend, but ANSWER is a signatory to that group. ANSWER had veto power over the speakers at the San Francisco rally last week (they blackballed Michael Lerner, which is still making me giggle), so they are apparently rather high up on the food chain in United for Peace and Justice

United for Peace and Justice used to be called something else. It was a pro-Palestinian website at one time. The exact name escapes me, though, and it is no longer on the website's archives (though it was about a month ago).

Six of one, half a dozen of another. Even the groups that are not openly communist have no philosphical problem with communism or socialism. They ALL have a problem with the USA as it has always existed, and are working feverishly to change that. The war protests are merely a vehicle for their broader agenda. It gets them more press than anything else has! It's trendy and topical!

[hellinahandcart]

You guys have been paying closer attention to these groups---either of you happen to recall what moniker United for Peace and Justice went by last year? I believe it was a Pro-Palestinian group, and I know the name change is fairly recent because I encountered a redirect page about two months or less ago.

Woe is me, I should have saved the page. (slapping self)

"United Students Against Sweatshops"

You mean I can get me some Iraqi Nikes?

[carlo3b]

see post #5 above for your answer.

[hellinahandcart]

Yes, but it does not give the name UFPJ went by previously. Nothing on that "Losers List" rings a bell. It's something different, and I just can't remember it.

ANSWER begs to differ.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, four coalitions -- each comprised of many organizations and individuals -- have come together to sponsor a broad and united anti-war march and rally on Sunday, Feb. 16. The four coalitions -- Bay Area United Against War, Not In Our Name project, United for Peace & Justice, and the International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) Coalition -- have been working together successfully for the last several weeks to maximize the turnout on Feb. 16.

Oui, and a Croissant!

[Catspaw]

The twink in pink's name is Medea Benjamin, last seen dancing in the streets of Baghdad. Medea, being a mother & all (just ask her--she'll tell you), got the heck out of Baghdad before the bombs started falling.

[William McKinley]

And notice this last line from that page:

Issued by: Bay Area United Against War, International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) Coalition, Not In Our Name Project, United for Peace and Justice

[carlo3b]

USSR?

[skeeter]

Whomever it was wouldn't matter but for the loving attention given it by the networks.

[William McKinley]

Global Exchange? A whois on unitedforpeace.org shows it is owned by them.

[hellinahandcart]

More like the PLO, if I'm not mistaken.

[hellinahandcart]

Not Global Exchange (although those ladies seem to have their fingers in every peace-movement pie these days). Arrrgh! Can't remember. Definitely had "Palestine" or "Middle East" in there somewhere though.
