America Under Siege

America's enemies within turned out in force on Saturday in Washington DC and San Francisco under the auspicies of the Communist Workers World Party operating under its front organization, A.N.S.W.E.R. Once again the demonstrators pretended to be peace activists, who found violence abhorrent and a willing media played along with the charade. Neither the New York Times nor the Los Angeles Times nor any media I saw identified the organizers as Communists who have a long record of support for world terror and its leaders including the Ayatollah Khomeini, Kim John Il, Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein.

As reported by the unfiltered cameras of C-Span, the pretense, in fact, was pretty thin. One of the featured speakers was a spokesman for the narco-terrorists in Colombia who opened his rant (all the speeches fell into this category) with, "We have to stop America's war against the people of Iraq, and the people of Palestine, Colombia and the world." America is supporting the government of Colombia against a brutal communist guerrilla force that has been waging civil war there for half a century. Come to think of it, America's enemies in Palestine are the terrorist organizations Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the al-Aksa Martyrs terrorist brigade. And in Iraq, there is a dictator who has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his own people and has attempted to swallow the country of Kuwait. The spokesman for the Colombian narco-terrorists was quite candid (and why not, since he knows that the American media will present him as a "peace activist" anyway). "As revolutionaries," he said to the crowd, "as progressives, we have to resist American imperialism."

Then came Imam Mussa from the mosque Masjid al-Islam,. Like most of the cast assembled by A.N.S.W.E.R. the Imam had also been a speaker at the Millions For Reparations March last August -- which was more about denouncing America as a racist, imperalist monster than making a case for compensation for any specific injustices (See my report, "Reparations Buffoons On The Washington Mall."). Here is a sample of the rhetoric at that March from Malik Zulu Shabazz (one of the few who was not at the "peace" event): "The President wants to talk about a terrorist named bin Laden. I don't want to talk about bin Laden. I want to talk about a terrorist called George Washington. I want to talk about a terrorist called Rudy Guiliani. The real terrorists have always been the United Snakes of America."

When he got going, the Imam Mussa dotted the i's and crossed any t's that the narco-terrorist spokesman had missed, telling the crowd that the regime change they wanted was in Washington not Bagdhad, and that they really didn't want a regime change at all. "We 're calling for a System change," he said. Revolution. "We won't get any justice as long as that criminal Congress is up there. We're calling for revolution. It's revolution time, brothers and sisters. We have to get rid of greedy murderers and imperialists like George Bush in the White House." The Imam then led the crowd -- are you ready for this -- in the chant the suicide bombers use as they blow up innocent men, women and children -- Allahu Ahkbar! Allahu Ahkbar! Allahu Akhbar!"

Democratic NY City Councilman and former Black Black Panther Charles Baron was also a speaker at the Millions for Reparations March, where he announced he needed to assault a white person for his "mental health." On this occasion he kept his racism in check, but not his rhetoric. "If you're looking for the Axis of Evil," he raved, "then look inside the belly of this beast." He went on to attack America's "monopoly capitalists" (a technical term which veterans of the left will recognize as the mark of Communist and Maoist sectarians) who of course were the puppeteers pulling the President's strings.

Damu Smith, head of "Black Voices for Peace," returned to Baron's theme and made it specific. “Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld," he said, "that’s the Axis of Evil.”

Larry Holmes "co-founder" of the sponsoring organization who also hosted the Millions for Reparations March, then led the crowd in chants to free two convicted murderers, Mumia Abu Jamal and Jamin al Alamin (H. Rap Brown). This was a set-piece also during the Millions for Reparations March.

It would be reassuring if one could report that a single speaker or face in the televised crowd dissented from the stew of anti-American, anti-white, anti-Jew hatred or the violent incitements, but not one did. The crowd relished the show and was in total sympathy with the message.

Another striking fact about this march in support of global terrorism was the presence of prominent Democrat officials on the platform. In San Francisco, the most powerful Democrat legislator in the state John Burton screamed, "the President is full of shit" and that the President was "fucking with us," while encouraging the general sentiment that America rather than Iraq was the outlaw state. In Washington, Democratic hopeful Al Sharpton attended and DC ex-congresswoman Cynthia McKinney read a speech with the following claim: "In no other country on the planet do so many people have so little as they do in this country." This from a person who notoriously commandeered a taxpayer-funded limousine to take her from her townhouse one block to her congressional offices every morning.

More disturbing by far was the presence of two of the most powerful Democrats in Congress, the potential head of the Ways and Means Committee, Charles Rangel and the potential head of the Judiciary Committee John Conyers, who is of course the author of the Reparations Bill and the icon of the Communist organizers of both marches. Rangel's appearance was especially troubling because he has been a nightly face on TV news shows presenting himself as a patriot and a veteran (he served fifty years ago in Korea) who wanted a military draft so that all America would be invovled in the nation's defense. His critics thought he had other agendas, like using conscription to sabotage the war effort. Apparently his critics were correct.

Americans who care about their country and its future should think about the following. This anti-American pro-terrorist movement is now larger than the anti-Vietnam pro-Communist "peace" movement was until the very end of the Sixties. Yet there is no draft. Before the draft the anti-Vietnam movement was very very small. Its demonstrations were numbered in the hundreds of participants, not even the thousands. The first big manifestation of the anti-American left was the Stop the Draft March in Oakland in 1965, which was four years after America's involvement in Vietnam got serious.

The second thing Americans should think about is the fact that this anti-American support movement for America's enemies has deep roots in the Democratic Party. I am a firm believer in the two-party system. I find it extremely worrying, therefore, that one party can no longer be trusted with the nation's security. This problem will not be easily fixed. But it won't be fixed at all unless attention is drawn to it, and we cannot do that unless we stop the charade of calling this a "peace" movement and recognize instead that it is anti-American movement to divide this country in the face of its enemies and give aid and comfort to those who would destroy us.

It would be a Bummer if you didn't contribute your share!

STOP BY AND BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD

The evil that was Communism never died. It merely took on new camouflage. At its heart, Communism was a reaction to the Christian religion, and by declaring itself officially atheistic, was presumedly freed of the moral dictates implied in practicing Judeo-Christian values. But as a religion, the relativistic values associated with secular humanism were a failure. Enter a religion that at once provided a supernatural framework, yet placed itself in opposition to Jews and Christians, as expostulated under the apostasy known as Wahhabism, and you have a refuge for all the True Believers who had regarded Communism a failure. Add to that a rudimentary social ethic, that despises the growth of privately controlled capital, and a fanatical appeal to the spirit of the people, the land, and the past, and you have the new breed of Islamists, who profess to a religion, but rarely practice its supposed tenets.

David knows the "players" - even if the media does not.
I would prefer to think this is merely a combination of ignorance, aggogance, and laziness on the part of the media ; but, given the ideological slant of mainstream educators over the last 20-30 years, I'm not overly hopeful !

This is an important article that gets to the real story of what is being said in these marches. All one has to do is listen. Why don't the lame-stream media give us some transcripts of these useful idiots.

"The first big manifestation of the anti-American left was the Stop the Draft March in Oakland in 1965, which was four years after America's involvement in Vietnam got serious."

It should be noted that we did not send significant numbers of military into Viet Nam until 1965, I don't know what the author was thinking of when he said "serious"

At its heart, Communism was a reaction to the Christian religion, and by declaring itself officially atheistic, was presumedly freed of the moral dictates implied in practicing Judeo-Christian values.

The primary dictate it freed itself from was that God is the Supreme Authority. The state supplanted God as the supreme authority.

In Wahhabism, you have the "state" masquerading as a god--deceptively combining the belief that in order to be faithful to God, you must be faithful to the state. This is Satan at his creative best.

Keep in mind that these two would become the second and third most important people in the Congress (next to the Speaker) should Democrats retake the House. A very scary thought!

"The second thing Americans should think about is the fact that this anti-American support movement for America's enemies has deep roots in the Democratic Party."

Yep. That is why I am a Republican.

I suspect many editors and reporters in the mainstream press rightly regard the Islamist and other hard-left speakers at this event as a lunatic fringe. But, as others on this thread have pointed out, the D.C. rally also featured some leading Democrats. Where I think the mainstream press collectively goes wrong is that they pay very little attention to this. If, hypothetically, high-ranking Republicans were to appear on a platform with white supremacists, I think the press would be pointing it out.

Agreed, this is one aspect of this rally that really should be highlighted. We notice it here on FR, but typically you would have to read to something like the 27th paragraph of a story to find out about these guys, if they are mentioned at all.

the moral relativism of these people just blows me away. if you or i shouted "God is Great!!" we would be branded as right wing Christian psychos. Yet, when this Imam or whatever he shouts "God is Great" everything is okay.

"The President wants to talk about a terrorist named bin Laden. I don't want to talk about bin Laden. I want to talk about a terrorist called George Washington. I want to talk about a terrorist called Rudy Guiliani. The real terrorists have always been the United Snakes of America."

I am so sick and tired these marxists hiding behind our liberties and living off the fruits of our capitalistic system while they do everything within their means to destroy it. These maggots are parasits and need to be eradicated with extreme prejudice.
