Marxist/Islamic Web of Subversion

Law enforcement officials knew of the infiltration of the Marxist/Islamic terror network into the US since at least the mid 1970’s.
Thanks to the leftists at the ACLU, the National Lawyers Guild, and their beehive of foundations, government, and media, America’s internal security would be decimated at that point.
A 30-year campaign by the left would leave the government hamstringed in its ability to investigate and act against those who fomented violence and subversion.
Had the left not demolished internal security, the events of Sept. 11 and other terrorist acts would have been unlikely.
Instead, terrorists and subversives would have been handled appropriately and in a manner that didn’t impinge on the constitutional liberties of the rest of us.

Back in February 26th 1979, in New West Magazine, investigative reporter Ehud Yonay, in an article entitled “The PLO Underground in California” interviewed law enforcement officials who reported that “there may be as many as 300 terrorists in the U.S. now” and that PLO groups and fronts were mushrooming across the country.
A California intelligence officer warned of “the development of a massive terrorist operational base within the local Arab community” and that “You can’t over estimate the importance of a support group that can provide maps, safe houses, untraceable cars and weapons, and even physicians who would not report gunshot wounds to the police.
Just the fact that a terrorist can stay with a relative or friend…means that we cannot track him down through hotel or car-rental bills.”

Yonay reported, for example, that on June 8, 1975, an organization called the Palestinian Arab Community (PAC) was set up as a link between the PLO and the Arab community of southern California.
Concluding from the minutes of the founding meeting, Yonay reports that the PAC “intended from the start to raise money for and provide ‘any other help needed’ to the PLO….
All southern California Palestinians were expected to pay the PLO a ‘head tax’ of one dollar per month for each family member; committee members planned to visit reluctant families at home to persuade them to come up with the money.”

Home visits by “committee members” were not exactly social calls.
The meaning of the term “any other help needed” was clear given the fact that, shortly before the founding of the PAC, the “PLO’s military chief had announced in Damascus that the PLO would start attacking targets in the United States.”
The Palestine Arab Fund (PAF) replaced the PAC, viewed as not militant enough, in 1977.
Dr. Tony Sayegh, official spokesman for the PAF told New West Magazine that the PAF “approved of Palestinian terrorist attacks in the Middle East, even when aimed at American or European tourists.”

Yonay reports “PLO support groups in California legally aid and abet terrorist organizations that threaten to attack American targets, that boast the ability and resources to do so, and that have already attacked democratic countries all over the world.”
This group, and the metastasizing network it spawned since the mid 1970’s, constitutes a political and criminal subversion by any definition of the term.
Yonay interviewed intelligence agents who feared the existence of an “operational base” of hundreds or thousands of PLO supporters.
Rumors that “Soviet-made, hand-held, ground-to-air missiles are being smuggled into the United States, thus enabling a terrorist team in Playa del Rey (home of the 1984 L.A. Olympics) or in a small boat offshore to shoot down jets taking off from LAX.”
This has a familiar ring to it now that George Stephanopoulos and Senator John Kerry (D MA) have stated on television that terrorists destroyed TWA Flight 800.

In 1977, Congress passed the McGovern Amendment, named for its author, Sen. George McGovern (D-SD), which prevented the government from excluding members of terrorist groups from entering the US solely on the basis of their membership in such groups.
Soon after its passage, and the subsequent approval by President Carter of a PLO “information office” in Washington D.C., Marxist/Islamic terrorists began swarming across the border.
New West asserts “America’s open-border policies have made it one of the safest havens in the world for international terrorists.”
