At the Mall, the speakers - all selected by the Workers World Party -
denounced America as an imperialist aggressor and "the axis of evil," and
called for "regime change" and "revolution" in the United States. An imam
from a Washington DC mosque led the crowd in chants of "Allahu Akbar," which
is the cry of the suicide bombers as they blow up innocent civilian targets.
Mohammed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 suicide bombers, gave these
instructions to his team: "When the confrontation begins, strike like
champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,'
because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers."
John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee was a
featured speaker at the Workers World Party "peace" rally, as was former
Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Representative Charles Rangel,
the ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee sent a letter of
support. In a sister demonstration in San Francisco, also organized by the
Workers World Party, California State Senator, Democrat John Burton, told
the protesters that the President of the United States was "full of s___"
and was "f---ing America."
So appalling were these demonstrations that older members of the left
disassociated themselves from this movement in articles that appeared in
leftwing magazines like Salon.com and the L.A. Weekly (the latter article
was written by David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation).
On February 15, an anti-war protest will be held in New York City, organized
by a new group called "United for Peace and Justice." This group is headed
by Leslie Cagan, a Sixties Marxist with a long history of supporting
Communist causes. She was a member of the Venceremos Brigades organized by
Cuban Intelligence. She was a member of the Committees for Correspondence, a
faction of the Communist Party USA, and she is co-chair of the National
Network on Cuba an organization whose purpose is propaganda and political
support for the Castro dictatorship. Cagan has warned that, "If marches do
not work, we will escalate. We will have to do things to disrupt the normal
flow of life in this country."(NYTimes, 2/04/03) This threat of sabotage
should not be taken lightly given the history of more than 1,000 domestic
bombings during the Vietnam War.
The agendas of the so-called "peace movement" are pro-Communist and
anti-American. Its organizers have worked with America's enemies in the past
and are continuing to do so in the midst of this war. This is the very
definition of a political "fifth column." Honest dissenters and Americans
concerned about the future of their country should take a hard look at these
protests and those who support them.

The "Glass plate" is the first half of the procedure. The "ectomy" part of

case, since his sphincter muscle has a tight grasp around his neck, cutting
off oxygen to the brain, resulting in these pathetic Super Patriot

Marginalised and ignored, the 14 years since the fall of the Berlin
Wall have been a wretched time for the hard-Left in Britain. After
reaching its high water mark with the miners' strike and the attempted
Militant infiltration of Labour in the 1980s, the success of Tony
Blair rendered the Left a harmless relic of a bygone age. So
harmless, in fact, that MI5 wound up its counter-subversion section
that for 40 years had kept tabs on an array of Communists, Trotskyites
and Maoists.
But the Marxist Left has been given a new lease of life by opposition
to the conflict in Iraq. The Stop the War coalition, which is behind
the wave of anti-war protests - including today's London march - is a
predominantly hard-Left organisation chaired by a leading member of
the Communist Party of Britain. It also comprises senior figures from
the Socialist Alliance, a Marxist umbrella organisation that includes
groups such as the Socialist Workers Party and the Alliance for
Workers Liberty.
Suddenly, the Left is fronting a campaign that ostensibly has support
across the political spectrum, unlike the minority issues with which
it is normally associated. The coalition's leaders maintain it is a
broadly-based political movement but it was the logos of the Left that
were prominent on the banners that accompanied the march in London
last month, in which an estimated one million people participated. The
Left also dominates its steering committee.
The chairman of the coalition is Andrew Murray, who is described as a
communications officer for the rail drivers' union, Aslef. Murray is
also a member of the political committee of the Communist Party of
Britain - http://www.communist-party.org.uk/ not to be confused with
the Communist Party of Great Britain from which it split in one of the
many schisms that has characterised Left politics down the years.
Murray's organisation is the rump of the old Communist Party and is
linked to the Morning Star newspaper for which he writes. In a report
to the CPB's executive committee on March 15, he said the diplomatic
clash over Iraq "shows the deep fractures in the bourgeoisie over
British imperialism's specific role in world politics."
Murray is also aware of the anti-war movement's potential for boosting
the Left. "It has the greatest political potential of any I have
encountered . . . It is rooted on the Left [but] it reaches out into
the Liberal Democrats in a serious way and even into the ranks of the
Conservatives." He told the executive: "We need now to entrench the
party in the mass anti-war movement at every level." Although the CPB
is not affiliated to the Socialist Alliance - which is a Trotskyite
organisation - they have joined forces on the Stop the War coalition.
http://www.stopwar.org.uk/
Several leading supporters of the Socialist Alliance are on the
steering committee. They include Tariq Ali, the veteran Left
campaigner and writer; Mike Marqusee, a former editor of Labour Left
Briefing; Louise Christian, a prominent civil rights lawyer; Suresh
Grover, of the National Civil Rights Movement; Roger Bannister, of the
public sector union Unison; and John Rees, of the Socialist Workers'
Party.
The aims of the alliance are to create "a popular socialist republic,
based on democratic common ownership and democratic control of the key
sectors of the economy."
But even an umbrella group is not immune from factionalism. The
far-Left Socialist Party - the former Militant Tendency - withdrew
from the alliance last year in protest at the dominance of the
Socialist Workers' Party. The Left retains a predilection for
division that was brilliantly parodied in Monty Python's Life of Brian
with the Judean People's Front and their deadly enemies, the People's
Front of Judea, who hated each other more than they disliked the
Romans. However, they are all together again to oppose the war and
remain united by a commitment to Marxist thought and practice, a
contempt for the Blair government and a belief in world revolution.
[ed: polls of British voters show both Conservatives and Labourites
supporting Blair on the war; opposition comes from the far left and
from the Liberal Democrats, who have been out of power since 1922.

The original claim was that "***EVERY*** major "anti-war"
demonstration to date, including the demonstrations on the Capitol
Mall in October and January has been organized and controlled by a
self-styled Communist group called the Workers World Party".
Perhaps you could point out where the Torygraph article substantiates
this claim.

Well, it doesn't mention Capitol Mall, but it does make it pretty clear
what's behind the 'Peace Movement' in the UK. However, there do seem to
be other sources that substantiate whatsit's claim about the Capitol Mall
demo.
Example 1. _________________________________________________________
http://www.spectrezine.org/war/McReynolds2.htm
"The primary organizer, ANSWER, is pretty much run by a small group of
Marxist/Leninists who belong to the tiny Workers World Party."
Example 2. _________________________________________________________
http://www.hometown-usa.us/harticle.html
"Every major "anti-war" demonstration to date, including the
demonstrations on the Capitol Mall in October and January has been
organized and controlled by a self-styled Communist group called the
Workers World Party, and its front "International A.N.S.W.E.R."
Example 3. _________________________________________________________
"The demonstration was organized by International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop
War and End Racism)."
Etc.
Are there any other demonstrations you have questions about or would
you like to get on with the ad hominem and scorn. I seem to recall
sneering is your particular forte, Therion.

A question which underlined the limitations of my answer. I hope to
address the limitations with my additional information (Example 1,
Example 2, Example 3) below.

Yes. It's just that we quarrelled at length some time ago about an
apostrophe, therefore my principal emotion on seeing your incursion
into s.c.b. is one of fear.
Now, do you continue to dispute that the Capitol demo was organised
by a subgroup of the Workers World Party? If not, may we pass on to
the next major demo you contend wasn't organised by the WWP? Surely
they weren't all organised by the WWP. The list of organisations
who did organise them will be illuminating, I think.

Hi Frog,
I think I can address the specific concerns relating to the Capitol
Mall demos with these links.

I was hoping you'd note that I also took a quote from the WSWS, but
I forgot to include the URL. Therefore I thought your comment was
unfair.
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/jan2003/demo-j20.shtml
"The demonstration was organized by International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop
War and End Racism)."
Thus hometown-usa and wsws are both saying basically the same thing,
i.e., the Capitol Mall demo was organised by ANSWER. ANSWER is a
subgroup of the WWP.
> But you knew that, didn't you.
Other netters have objected that premature deletion of comment
is tantamount to censorship. Premature meaning 'before its
been discussed' I suppose. On balance, I prefer the verbose
way of doing things.
So, with the CNN comment in mind, it does seem as if most of the
anti-war protests were organised by ANSWER, a subgroup of WWP, and
therefore I feel able to ask you to post a list of major anti-
war protests that weren't organised by ANSWER in order to rebut
the assertion made by 'LiberalsHateAmerica'.

That's funny. 10% of Adelaide's population protested. That's 100,000
people including your's truly. I was never contacted by the Worker's

"Sunday 4 November: ANSWER Stop War Rally. (Act Now Stop War End Racism)
About 800 people rallied for peace and to stop the war, in the Melbourne
city Square today. Several hundred had rallied with the Refugee Action
Collective at Southbank against the treatment of refugees and had marched
to join the anti-war rally, where they were addressed by several speakers.
The rally then marched on Liberal Party Headquaters, then to the lawns of
the State Library for music and entertainment. Similar demonstrations
occurred in Perth, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane."
I never went to that one. I referred to the global protests in the 2nd
weekend of Feb.
Is tbis it? http://www.nowar-sa.net/feb16.htm Are you in the picture?
I've done a little more research and you do have your own peace group
called NOWAR in Adelaide. I think this was the group behind your demo,
not ANSWER. NOWAR-SA is an umbrella for these organisations:
Australian Democrats
Young Australian Democrats
Australian Greens
Australian Peace Network
QUAKERS
Resistance movement
Socialist Alliance
Women in Black
Medical Association for the Prevention of War
Uniting Church of Australia
Anglican Church
Refugee Action Collective
This means you have named one major anti-war protest which was not
organised by International ANSWER.

3 possible explanations:
(1) There is an organization called the 'Workers World Party'
with branches all over the world.
(2) The 'Workers World Party' only exists in your country, but
you have been taken in by their calling themselves a 'World
Party', which is just a clever piece of propaganda.
(3) You are one of those idiots who think and write as though the
whole world consists of just your country.

I like that the conspiracy freaks are crawling out of the woodwork so much
now that it's been shown THE PROTESTERS WERE RIGHT.
No WMDs. Bush lied. Tony lied. Iraq was not a threat to anybody. We
weren't welcomed. We're not wanted. Hussein was neither captured nor
killed. The Shia are imposing an Islamic state in big parts of the
country. And we've let things like the electricity and healthcare flounder
while working to get the oil pumping.
In the mean time, we burned through almost a 100 billion and are looking
at an occupation that could span this decade easily.
I'm not sure there's any reason to care whether the protesters were the
Liberation Front for Chihuahuas or little furry creatures from
Alpha-Centari...

And I think there's considerable equivocation over the phrase
"organised and controlled" as well. What does this phrase mean?
Here in the UK the London anti war march was one of the largest ever
recorded in with estimates varying between 750,000 and two million
depending on who you ask (everyone lies about size!). The BBC thought
the total about a million.
It's certainly true that various left-wing political organisations,
from local Labour parties to the SWP organised many aspects of the
march in as much as they advertised it, organised the transport,
provided march marshalls and so on. But the implication of the
article is that the organisation and control went a *lot* deeper than
that: that the protest itself was a tangible manifestation of
communist ideology.
It appears that we're being asked to believe that the SWP, WWP and
other far left groups can put a million people, from widely disparate
walks of life on the streets of London at the drop of a hat, and that
at least the significant proportion of these "foot soldiers" are
ideologically committed to communism. Which probably comes as news to
the WI (Women's Institute), and British Legion, amongst others.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised if the political leanings of the
marchers were broadly left of centre, but that's a hellava long way
from being card carrying communists ideologically committed to the
preservation of abhorrent governments.
Trouble is that, like the hard left, the hard right tends to paint too
with broad a brush and sees ideological devils everywhere it looks.
What might have been valid observations about the political indicators
suggested by the various world-wide marches becomes transformed
through the lens of ideology into yet another leftist conspiracy
theory that no one apart from the already converted will believe.

The fact that the Stalinist scum of the WWP are masters at organizing
anti-war demonstrations doesn't mean that everyone opposed to the neocon
plan to conquer the entire Middle East for Israel is a Stalinist. It's
just that the WWP have people willing to support them financially in
their campaigning against the war (and yes, Kim Jong-Il, Milosevic, and
formerly Saddam Hussein were among the biggest backers). An anti-WWP
anti-war movement would be fabulous, but who would be prepared to fund it?
A similar situation is the way the Saudi Wahhabis are trying to use
their billions of petrodollars to take over Islam. The lamentable state
of US politics is also due to the excessive influence of money: the
Democrats (controlled by lawyer money - and in a previous era mob money)
are soft on crime while the Republicans (controlled by corporate money)
are plutocrats bent on enriching the few at the expense of the many.
Surely you do not think that some of the issues they have raised are
non-existant, do you?

place to finish, as here we learn from our theist brothers every day.
How does the fact that communists may have organised the transport and
played some part in the organisation imply anything about those who
may have taken part in the demonstrations?

So what if they were? Does that make the message any less important
or truthful? Does that mean that the protesters were any less sincere?
Does that mean that the protestors did not have the right to protest?
Does that even mean that the protestors were communist?

Riiiight.... I seem to remember the right doing more than it's fair
share of the above during the Clinton administration. All Clinton got

our economy, turning the US into a rogue nation, and killing our
soldiers to satisfy his personal vendettas.

Thanks for the pseudo-psychiatric hate-speech, Klein. Did you know
that defamation of the kind you evidently prefer varies with the
policits of the attacker. Lefts, like you, who are generally more
intelligent - thereby creatures of the mind and hence more divorced
from reality - prefer mental illness flames? On the other hand,
rightists generally prefer sexual innuendo. Orwell described the
typical illness flames of the left in THROUGH A GLASS ROSILY.
The following links pertain to the group who organised the anti-war
demos. They point to a variety of sources, including CNN and WSWS.
So far there is only one exception to the claim that ANSWER organised
all the major anti-war demos.

to join the anti-war rally, where they were addressed by several speakers.
The rally then marched on Liberal Party Headquaters, then to the lawns of

When cornered with the truth, the tactic turns to perceived
relativism. "Well, they aren't as bad a Bush" is what the poster
blathers.
Well, yes, they are worse and much more dangerous. Millions have paid
the price for the same stupidity that you are demonstrating.
Yes, Communists are dangerous.

No, see below. So far we have one exception, a march organised
by NOWAR, a group in Adelaide. However, ANSWER _did_ organise a
march in Adelaide too. If you mean I will never be able to convince
you then sure - I concede your bigotry is invincible. Congratualations

the USSR invaded Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, etc.

Check out GULAG: A HISTORY by Anne Applebaum. That should give

However, as I suggested to your cohort Dick, it's not impossible that
the left could pass info to the Islamicysts as they passed info to the
USSR in WW2 and the Cold War. For example, with the source code for
a transport system or air traffic control system it would be too hard
to spoof it crash trains or planes. Radio networks are notoriously
insecure.
If you remember, the communists passed war secrets to the Nazis in
WW2, so the communists are 'flexible' in their alliances.

The Fact That Hussein's Gone Doesn't Make Lying Right
Robert Scheer
June 24, 2003
There was a time when the sickness of the political far left could
best be defined by the rationale that the ends justified the means.
Happily, support for revolutionary regimes claiming to advance the
interests of their people through atrocious acts is now seen as an
evil dead end by most on the left. Immoral and undemocratic means lead
inevitably to immoral and undemocratic ends.
Unfortunately, junior Machiavellis claiming to wear the white hat
still are running amok among us. This time, however, they are on the
right, apologists for the Bush administration arguing that noble ends
justify deceitful means.
With the administration's core rationale for invading Iraq — saving
the world from Saddam Hussein's deadly arsenal — almost wholly
discredited, the Republicans now want us to believe that any
distortions of the truth should have been forgotten once we took
Baghdad.
As Newt Gingrich put it last week: "Does even the most left-wing
Democrat want to defend the proposition that the world would be better
off with Saddam in power?"
The quick answer is that we don't know what the future holds for Iraq.
Our track record of military interventions in the Middle East and
elsewhere would lead any competent historian or Vegas bookie to
conclude that a stable secular dictatorship is about the best outcome
we can predict. But the larger, more frightening meaning of Gingrich's
statement is that in order to rid the world of a tinhorn dictator who
posed no credible threat to the United States, it was just dandy to
lie to the people.
It was OK to lie about the nonexistent evidence of ties between
Hussein and Al Qaeda. It was OK to lie about the U.N. weapons
inspectors, claiming they were suckered by Hussein. It was OK to lie,
not only to Americans but to our allies in this war, about
"intelligence" alleging that Iraq's military had chemical and
biological weapons deployed in the field. Only it's not OK.
Washington's verbal attack on the U.N. inspectors, for example, is of
no small consequence, undermining global efforts to prevent nuclear
weapons proliferation.
Meanwhile, to justify a political faction's blunder we ignore core
values upon which this country was built. The New York Times on Friday
blithely referred to the use of "coercive" measures in interrogating
former Iraqi scientists and officials. Apparently, protections in
international treaties for political prisoners do not apply to us.
Similarly, the indefensible gambit of preemptive war has seriously
damaged two of this nation's most precious commodities — our democracy
and the reputation of our form of government. By giving Congress
distorted and incomplete intelligence on Iraq, the Bush administration
mocks what is most significant in the U.S. model: the notion of
separation of powers and the spirit of the Constitution's mandate that
only Congress has the power to declare war.
Is this an exaggeration? Consider that on Oct. 7, 2002, four days
before Congress authorized the Iraq war, President Bush asserted that
intelligence data proved Iraq had trained Al Qaeda "in bomb making and
poisons and deadly gases." Yet no such proof existed. Never in modern
times have we beheld a Congress so easily manipulated by the executive
branch. Last week, the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee
caved in and dropped their opposition to closed hearings on whether
Congress was lied to. How can they not be open to the public, which is
expected under our system to hold the president and Congress
accountable?
To be sure, many Americans were never fooled, and many more have
become upset at seeing continuing casualties and chaos in Iraq after
Bush's pricey aircraft carrier photo op signaled that the war was
over. But much of our public has been too easily conned. For contrast,
consider that in Britain the citizens, Parliament and media have been
far more seriously engaged in questioning the premises of their
government's participation in the invasion of Iraq.
This administration's behavior is an affront to the nation's founders
and the system of governance they crafted. It is sad that we now have
a president who acts like a king and a Congress that is his pawn.

Whether we can or not is totally irrelevant. But I'll take your
evasion as admission that you can't back up your assertion that they
all were.

No, I mean you'll never be able to prove that every single major
anti-war demonstration was organized and controlled by Communists.
(I've participated in a few that weren't, and you can't prove that an
incorrect assertion is correct.)

They're doing everything they can to distract people from the
still-missing weapons of mass destruction.
Next they'll be telling us that Saddam is funding the Communists from
[insert next target country here].
