Bush targeted by leftist 'intelligence professionals'

A group calling itself the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity sent President Bush a letter demanding that Cheney resign over the issue of Saddam's WMDs. Now who or what is VIPS? This is a question that many have been asking. The answer is simple. It is a front for the notorious Marxist-Leninist Washington-based IPS (Institute for Policy Studies).

This is what Brian Crozier (a highly respected commentator on intelligence matters and a fellow of the prestigious Institute for the Study of Conflict) had to say about the IPS:

"The IPS is the perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were too originate openly from the KGB."

One of the signatories to the letter was David MacMichael a former CIA analyst. As an American patriot MacMichaels saw it as his to lecture at the IPS and participate in its activities. Among others who share MacMichaels enthusiasm for an organisation that acted as a mouthpiece for Moscow and which still gives Castro unstinting support were the likes of life-long communist Saul Landau and his wife, Peter Weiss, another Soviet supporter, Seymour Hersh, another great patriot; Dr Charles Clement, who actively supported communists guerrillas in Central America, is also a great supporter. Then we have New York Times reporter (surprise, surprise) Ray Bonner, and one-time Washington Post associate editor John Dinges. And so it sadly goes on.

Sharing IPS lectures and seminars with these patriotic Americans were Soviet patriots like KGB operative Victor Taltz, Vladimir I. Strokin, KGB agent and Third Secretary of the Soviet Embassy in 1984, Soviet agent Igo Mishchenko and KGB operative Anatoliy Manakov. Plenty of other communist agents strutted their stuff at the IPS. For example, Rene Mujica who was first secretary of the Cuban Interests Section at the Czech embassy before the communist regime collapsed, much to the distress of the IPS and its American supporters. There was also Orlando Letellier who worked for Castro's DGI (General Directorate of Intelligence), and Romesh Chandra, another KGB agent.

There is not a single communist regime the IPS has not supported, including Pol Pot's. Moreover, it has also supported every anti-Western terrorist group I can think of. Yet here we have the so-called Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, an obvious IPS front, brazenly demanding, with a little help from the IPS and its friends in the media, the resignation of Mr Cheney. I personally would not hesitate to call these men liars. Come to think of it, there is another word that would fit them perfectly.

Of course, the likes of the Independent, The New York Times, CNN, CBS and the ABC have been too busy cheerfully parroting VIPS' agitprop line to bother mentioning its Marxist-Leninist connections. But no one really expects anything less from this bunch of Bush-haters.

If the GOP were to closely examine the links between the IPS and those journalists and Democrats (is there really a difference?) who are running the VIPS-IPS line they might find the results very interesting.

Thanks for posting this. We've (a group of intel professionals, most retired) wondered who this group was. I'm off to post this on our web-board.

Nice to know, isn't it, that so many fomer intel types were really for the other side? Disgusts me, no end.

[ladyinred]

Most of the anti war groups are nothing more than fronts for communists. This is just amazing to me. Don't the American people realize who the democrats are aligning themselves with these days?
Why in the heck should Cheney resign? The rats should all be thrown out for sedition and would be were the citizens of this country aware of what their agenda really was. Wake up America, turn off tabloid TV and get yourself educated for goodness sakes!

Nope, because they think we are a bunch of right wings nuts .. that's what the Clinton's have been telling them for years

[autoresponder]

There is a sharp guy in NYC that goes on WABC770amNYC and WOR710amNYC who investigates and exposes all those connected with the Instute for Policy Studies and other Commie Front groups in the USA.

Forget his name, durn it!

Oh yeah; "Jimmy from Brooklyn" -

Has great credibility and has infiltrated and recorded lots of top lib/dems in these organizations, including NS Clintonista Anthony Lake.

Once taken by the dark side its difficult to ever look into the light again. The entire marxist concept was constructed on a lie. Once built, totalitarian states never peacefully wither away and give up power. We have only the past century as proof. Many of the heralded socialist utopian leaders are now being identified for what they truelly were. Brutal totalitarian dictators who sponsered terrorism worldwide. They used the utopian ideals of socialism to empower themselves. Once empowered, they determined that their people needed their 'protection' (for proof see the cigar smoking man still wearing marxist revolutionary military dress in the tropics). We should expect the marxist to try to stop the US military within Iraq. They know if we are successful there, we will have much greater momentum when confronting North Korea about their nuclear WMD aspirations. Another totalitarian marxist (Kim) could then fall.

Whats interesting about the current situation is that many of the 'intellectual' marxists supporters are easily identifiable now. As this posted article helps to illustrate.

Question - Who in their right mind would ever believe or trust Saddam over the recently freed Iraqi people ?

Answer - A lieing Marxist.

"Don't the American people realize who the democrats are aligning themselves with these days?"

Unfortuantely , I don't think they do. The people that need to realize this are those democrat voters (example in the Midwest or South) who fly thier flags and support the troops. The "muh daddy, grand-daddy and great grand-daddy voted democrat so I do too" crowd. They think the people in charge of the dems are like Roosevlt, Truman, and JFK. Someone needs to wake them up and tell them "the democratic party is not in Kansas anymore Toto".

Also, I would hope that President Bush and the pubbies are aware of who they're up against. It is always best to "KNOW" your enemy. These people are way beyond disgruntled citizens. They have an agenda. I would hope President Bush keeps this in the back of his mind when he's dealing with them, and trying to have a "new tone" in Washington. They will NEVER give him the same courtesy.

A side note: It's just amazing to me, that everytime Ann Coulter releases a book, the dems come out wailing about how wrong she is and then they turn around and prove her exactly right.

I discussed this very fact with a 70ish Medical Doctor, last night. (I think he is Jewish, and originally from the East coast. Now in Orange County, CA. He agreed wholeheartedly with the italicized idea, above. (He further opined that HMOs have ruined medical care.)

[DPB101]

Great post! I spent half an hour the other day trying to find out who was behind this group with no luck. Thanks.

[fly_so_free]

"HMO's have ruined medical care"

Have to agree. I would like to see a comparison done between quality of care for Patients before HMO's and after. I bet people would be shocked by how much its gone down. Medical staff is just too overworked and overwhelmed to be able to deliver top quality care any more.

As far as democrat voters go, I wish there was some way to get the information, in the above article, out to them . But you know this won't ever be covered in the mainstream press

[185JHP]

This whole leftist thing about "WMD preknowledge" is so strawmanifestly vile and cynical that it angers us - but OTOH, we should assiduously remember the source...

[MEG33]

Thank you for finding this.

"Of course, the likes of the Independent, The New York Times, CNN, CBS and the ABC have been too busy cheerfully parroting VIPS' agitprop..."

I heard an interview from the leader of this group on NPR last Fri.

Here's hoping NPR follows the BBC into journalistic irrelevance.

[Miss Marple]

Here's some more information whiich may eventually tie in to Joseph Wilson.

Will we ever be free from the Commy lovers and their influence in America.

Even after they retire, they continue to harm and work against America and good people like president Bush 24/7/365.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this.

Of course none of this comes as a surprise.

[Grampa Dave]

This article explains a lot of what has been happening the past two weeks re the Yellow Cake Scam.

When the USSR folded up, these anti American Scumbags slithered over to support the Islamofacists like the Taliban, Ben Laden, $oddomite, the Saudis and of course the murdering mullahs of Iran. They supported the murdering mullahs since the days of Jimmy Carter.

[judicial meanz]

I wonder how many of these losers are in KGB files somewhere under an alias that recieved subtle funding during the Cold War?

Makes a person wonder.

BUMP!
