The Post & Email has received tonight a decclassified FBI report admitted in evidence in the case brought against W. Mark Felt and Edward S. Miller by President Jimmy Carter’s U.S. Attorney General, Mr. Griffin B. Bell. This document was obtained by an American citizen, who wished to remain anonymous, via a FOIA request. Mr. W. Mark  Felt is none other than the informant who spoke with reporters from the Washington Post, exposing the Watergate Scandal:  who went by the name “Deep Throat” a fact that points to his political neutrality in American politics.What is not know about Mr. Felt...

In this day and age, we on the right need to think about allies on the left that have the same view on censorship.....we all know about the Conservatives who have been banned on Facebook and Twitter, Facebook is not content with banning Conservatives, they will censor anyone who goes against the establishment.....Case in point the Socialist Workers Party in the UK was just banned and left irate about it.....

Many were unhappy when One Angry Gamer began cataloging every celebrity and corporation that sold out the United States to appear virtuous. People were unhappy because they wanted the ability to quietly pretend they had never done so in the first place. Companies didn’t want people to be able to navigate a simple list to see if they were promoting a very unpopular and hate-filled ideology. In only a few short weeks, Black Lives Matter has shown to everyone in the West their true colors. Making in the process, the Traitors of America List more vital than it ever was....

... [C]onsider the baggage that Sanders drags into the campaign. Go back over 40 years, to the start of Iran’s long conflict with the United States. On April 1, 1979, the theocratic Islamic Republic of Iran was proclaimed. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who had returned to Iran from exile to assume command of the revolt, became Supreme Leader in December of that year. His rise was accelerated by the seizure on Nov. 4 of 52 American diplomats and citizens, and citizens of other countries, at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. The hostage crisis became the means by which the Ayatollah crushed...

Bernie Sanders campaigned for the Socialist Workers Party in the 1980 and 1984 presidential campaigns and was investigated by the FBI for his ties to the Marxist group. Sanders has always played down the extent of his involvement with the party, which included radicals who praised the Soviet Union and Cuban communists, and has denied ever being a member. Asked in 1988 about his role as an SWP elector in 1980, he said: "I was asked to put my name on the ballot and I did, that’s true." In fact, his ties to the party are deep and enduring. The...

With Iran back in the spotlight, the Daily Beast reminds us that we–and Bernie Sanders–have been here before: . Virtually all Americans—Democrats, Republicans and independents—united in support of the hostages and the international call for their freedom. One prominent political figure on the 2020 stage, then almost completely unknown, stood apart by joining a Marxist-Leninist party that not only pledged support for the Iranian theocracy, but also justified the hostage taking by insisting the hostages were all likely CIA agents. Who was that person? It was Bernie Sanders. Sanders was a member of the Trotskyite Socialist Workers’ Party. Not just...

“Tory scum off our streets, Nazi scum off our streets!” shouted left-wing protesters in central London. Around a thousand demonstrators, many masked and holding antifa symbols, poured onto the streets of the British capital to protest the U.K.’s election results. The Conservatives won in a landslide election the day before, likely guaranteeing Britain’s withdrawal from the EU at the end of next month. The British capital descended into chaos as the Met Police struggled to contain protesters connected to antifa, socialist and communist groups. They had shut down the streets in and around Westminster. They demanded a “revolution” and the...

* Protesters at a Black Lives Matter demonstration demanded segregation * An organizer pointed at individual white people and ordered them to move * She said their positions in the crowd should be taken over by black people * The demonstrators urged black people not to vote for Hillary in November Black Lives Matter activists ordered white journalists and supporters to the back of their march outside the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Several videos of the protest have been posted on social media which show the female leader of the protest standing on the back of a truck while...

Is taking Black Lives Matter organizers at face value on tragedies like the latest one in Dallas going to become the next mainstream media trend? Is the end of the story on cop killing always going to be about the one that got away? Will the media continue to legitimize BLM activists like Rev. Jeff Hood with prime time television interviews within 24 hours of the very day that five courageous police officers lost their lives with seven more wounded?

A group of about 45 people participated in a "die-in" protest Friday afternoon (July 8) in front of the New Orleans Police Department headquarters. The protest, coming at the end of a week that saw two high-profile police shootings and the deaths of five Dallas police officers, was intended to stress the importance of life, said organizer Yamil Rodriquez. Rodriquez is an arts teacher with Community Works, which conducts an after-school program with International School of Louisiana. "This is a gathering to celebrate life, honor life, and show the stark difference between life and lack of life," Rodriquez said. With...

Socialists allowed to keep donors secret By: Tarini Parti April 26, 2013 05:44 PM EDT It’s not every day that the Socialist Workers Party agrees with Republicans. But when it comes to donor disclosure, they’re largely on the same page. While the call for politically active corporations and nonprofits to disclose donors got louder during the 2012 campaign, the Federal Election Commission on Thursday decided to let federal committees affiliated with the Socialist Workers Party and the Socialist Workers National Campaign Committee continue to keep their donors secret. The reason: revealing the identity of the donors could lead to possible...

Daniel Hannan cuts through the disinformation routinely spewed by the pundit class to reveal the true historical nature of fascism, albeit as it pertains to British politics. The lessons, however, are applicable here as well. 'I am a Socialist,' Hitler told Otto Strasser in 1930, 'and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow'. No one at the time would have regarded it as a controversial statement. The Nazis could hardly have been more open in their socialism, describing themselves with the same terminology as our own SWP: National Socialist German Workers' Party. Almost everyone in...

The U.S. Socialist Workers Party is sending cadre fresh from the battlefields of Madison, Wisconsin, to Cairo, to peddle Marxist literature to the Egyptian masses. From the Militant “I just returned from Madison, Wisconsin, this past weekend, meeting and talking to working people involved in the fight there, introducing them to the Militant,” said Dan Fein, a worker at a pharmaceutical plant in New York. “Soon, I’ll be doing the same thing in Cairo.” Fein is part of a team of socialist workers from the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom who will travel to Egypt to participate in the...

Weather Underground and Other 60s Radical Groups - History - Excerpt 3 from Law Review Book Although the Department of Justice and the FBI were able to effectively disrupt a number of lethal Vietnam-era terrorist plots—a point frequently overlooked by commentators—their overall efforts against radical groups were closely scrutinized, heavily criticized, intensely challenged by investigative targets, and, in many cases, publicly censured by federal judges. The result was a series of legal reforms that are firmly institutionalized and are now a permanent part of our legal landscape. They make a return to the bad-old-days virtually impossible. This should be reassuring...

VVAW distributes literature at an event that is used to collect intelligence on military tactics and methods in Vietnam. Considering the fact that the VVAW has meetings with the North Vietnam Communists and VVAW members travel to Moscow and Hanoi, this is a very serious matter. VVAW collects military intelligence concerning US tactics and methods in Vietnam War.

Norfolk-based sailor uses Web to channel opposition to war By LOUIS HANSEN, The Virginian-Pilot © November 5, 2006 NORFOLK - Jonathan Hutto graduated from Howard University with a degree in political science and a résumé of social activism. He worked for the American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International after college. He whipped up grass-roots protests against police departments and college administrators. One day in 2003, broke and seeking direction, Hutto enlisted in the Navy. The Navy couldn't have known it then, but they know it now: They had signed up a sailor strongly opposed to the Iraq war. Seaman...

UN probes Wheat Pool Payments of $23.15M made in oil-for-food scandal congressional hearing told Steven Edwards CanWest News Service Saturday, April 30, 2005 UNITED NATIONS -- The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool has emerged as one of the companies involved in Iraq oil-for-food deals now under investigation by a U.S. congressional committee probing the United Nations aid program, which Saddam Hussein manipulated to skim off billions of dollars for himself. The focus on the company comes as the UN announced Friday it had discovered a staff-rule violation by Canadian businessperson and international diplomat Maurice Strong, whose long record at the world body...

Michael Berg: "... I don’t think that my son’s murder was solved, if you know what I’m saying ..." On Saturday I attended International ANSWER's latest "EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION" to protest the Bush administration's "criminal wars, occupations, torture and assault." According the flyer, thousands of protestors would "Speak Truth to Power" in a march from the White House to Donald Rumsfeld's front lawn. The highlight of the event was to be a celebrity speech by Michael Berg, the father of terror victim Nick Berg. Given Mr. Berg's recent rhetoric espousing what he regards as the Bush administration's culpability in his son's...
