How One California Marxist Is Indoctrinating Millions of School Children
August 22, 2019 Updated: August 22, 2019
Commentary
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is coming for your children.
Not content with taking over school boards and sending comrades into the teaching profession, the United States’ largest Marxist group is also writing the textbooks your children study.
California DSA member Duane Campbell helped write the new History-Social Science Framework for the state, which was adopted in 2017. Sacramento-based Campbell, a DSA comrade since at least 1983, is an emeritus professor of bilingual/multicultural education at California State University–Sacramento and former chair of the Sacramento DSA. He is also the author of “Choosing Democracy: A Practical Guide to Multicultural Education.”
According to Campbell, “Because of California’s large size and market, what goes into California textbooks frequently also gets written into textbooks around the nation.”
In the mid-1990s, Campbell was a contributing editor to Oakland-based Maoist-leaning CrossRoads magazine, which sought to “promote dialogue and build new alliances among progressives and leftists … to bring diverse Marxist and socialist traditions to bear, while exploring new strategies and directions for the progressive political movements.”
In the mid-2000s, Campbell was a contributor to a Bay Area socialist blog called Educational Justice, described as being “from a collective of progressive education activists—stuff about teaching, thinking, parenting, social justice, desegregation, self-determination, economic justice, music, creativity, and building progressive movements for our future.”
Other contributors included Tom Edminster, a teacher’s unionist and DSA member; Karen Zapata of Teachers 4 Social Justice; and Eric Mar, a Freedom Road Socialist Organization supporter and, like Campbell, a member of Progressives for Obama.
As a young man, Campbell was one of several communist or socialist organizers with Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers union, an experience he now wants to impart to America’s youth.
Campbell has served on DSA’s leadership body, the National Political Committee, and has also served on the DSA’s Latino Commission and Anti-Racism Commission. In 2017, Campbell was co-chair of the DSA Immigrant’s Rights Committee. Campbell is steeped in Marxist racial politics.
More Voters
The DSA’s interest in education is completely political. Inspired by Italian Communist Party theoretician Antonio Gramsci, DSA seeks to infiltrate U.S. society’s main opinion-forming institutions to change the popular consciousness in a socialist direction. In the more short-term, DSA is committed to both expanding the Latino vote and pushing it to the left to give its allies in the Democratic Party an unchallengeable majority in national elections.
Campbell’s DSA comrade, Eliseo Medina, was also active in the United Farm Workers union under Chavez. Medina transferred to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), rising to executive vice president. As one of the most influential advocates for amnesty for illegal immigrants in the country, Medina served as an informal immigration adviser to then-President Barack Obama.
When Obama was still a senator, he
declared at a campaign stop while
addressing SEIU, “Before immigration
debates took place in Washington, I
spoke with Eliseo Medina and SEIU
members.”
At the America’s Future Now! conference in Washington on June 2, 2009, Medina addressed attendees on the necessity of “comprehensive immigration reform.”
Speaking of Latino voters, Medina explained their importance to the socialist project:
“When they voted in November, they voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up.
“So I think there’s two things that matter for the progressive community:
“Number one: If we are to expand this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to solidly be on the side of immigrants. That will expand and solidify the progressive coalition for the future. …
“Number two: [If] we reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters. Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three?
“If we have eight million new voters … [we] will create a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle.”
Campbell wants to use his influence on the education system to play his part in DSA’s revolutionary program.
Educational Change
In the early 2010s, Campbell set up a network to change the California history and social studies textbooks, which had mainly been written by objective historians appointed by Gov. Ronald Reagan.
Wrote Campbell:
“I have spent more than six years working on this project—and it was well worth it. The important changes we achieved were produced by years of collective advocacy, lobbying, letter writing, and organizing. After being blocked in our efforts in 2008, we created the Mexican American Digital History site, then organized a statewide network of scholars and community activists to pressure the State Board of Education.
“At each stage, we had to explain why this tedious process of changing the Framework was important. We received assistance from civil rights groups and Latinos in the Democratic Party. Similar and parallel campaigns were organized within the Filipino, Hmong, South Asian, and LGBT communities.”
According to Campbell, this work will result in a new “progressive” path of learning for California’s school children:
“History and social science textbooks in public schools in California and most of the nation are racist, class-biased, and ignore LGBT history. This condition will change in California in 2017 when new textbooks are adopted.
“Under a unanimous decision by the California Board of Education made on July 14, 2016, California students will finally be encouraged to know the history of Latino civil rights leaders like Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta and Filipino labor leaders like Larry Itliong, as well as an accurate and inclusive history of LGBT activists as a part of the history of California and the nation. These topics are currently substantially absent from public school textbooks.”
That’s right—now young Californians can learn all about Campbell’s old boss Chavez, a man who trained for six years in Chicago with the father of “community organizing” himself: Saul Alinsky. They’ll also learn about Chavez’s right-hand woman Dolores Huerta, a longtime DSA comrade and general communist hang-around.
Chavez worked with a lot of Communist Party USA supporters, including Filipino labor organizer Larry Itliong—who will also be profiled in the new curriculum.
This is supposedly all about fairness and giving minorities equal treatment. Teaching kids about communists, it seems, will make them better students and more engaged citizens—especially the more than 1 in 10 students who Campbell claims are homosexual:
“In the current books … the 51 percent of students who are Latino, the 11.5 percent who are Asian, and the estimated 11 percent of students who are LGBT, do not see themselves as part of history, for many their sense of self is marginalized.
“As I argued in a prior book, marginalization negatively impacts their connections with school and their success at school. This has resulted in a nearly 50 percent dropout rate for Latinos and some Asian groups and LGBT students.”
Campbell then goes on to reel off a whole list of leftist individuals and the radical events they inspired, including the occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay by communist-inspired militants, the communist-inspired American Indian Movement and the standoff at Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the Marxist-led La Raza Unida Party, and the communist-led Chicano Moratorium against the Vietnam War.
And, of course, the 11 percent of California’s children who are allegedly LGBT shouldn’t feel left out. Their far-left champions are profiled, too: “California activists like Harvey Milk and Cleve Jones were part of a broader movement that emerged in the aftermath of the Stonewall riots, which brought a new attention to the cause of equal rights for homosexual Americans.”
Coincidentally, these educational priorities may end up helping DSA’s revolutionary electoral strategy. According to Campbell:
“School marginalization also contributes directly to low-level civic engagement. An accurate history would provide some of these students with a sense of self, of direction, of purpose. History and social science classes should help young people acquire and learn to use the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will prepare them to be competent and responsible citizens throughout their lives. …
“And, while California and the nation have a general problem with low civic engagement among young people, it is also true that the state has a very specific problem with the rate of Latino and Asian voter participation in civic life.
“Rates of voting and voter registration provide a window into civic engagement. The proportion of state voter registration that is Latino and Asian has remained far below the proportions of these groups in the state’s overall population. …
“We know that we can do better. California has the largest school population of any state, with more than 6,226,000 students in school in 2015, more than 11 percent of the United States total.”
So, not only will millions of California school children be moved to the left by Campbell’s pro-communist propaganda, but they will also likely vote in significantly higher numbers.
This will, of course, consolidate the left’s already iron-grip on California politics, but will likely affect other states as well.
One well-placed Marxist operative can negatively influence millions, even hundreds of millions, of people.
Every pro-American school board in the country should immediately review and probably ban all history and social studies textbooks coming out of California.

Re-visited: Why Kamala Harris Will Be the Democratic Presidential Nominee
Kamala Harris’s Socialist Ties
Part 1: Red diaper baby
Democratic presidential primary front-runner Sen. Kamala
Harris (D-Calif.) recently told reporters at a campaign stop in New Hampshire that
she is “not a democratic socialist.”
The next question should have been obvious: “Well, then, what kind
of socialist are you?”
Harris has been surrounded by socialists and communists her entire
life—beginning with her staunchly Marxist father. Harris
is the older child of two 1960s Berkeley radicals: Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer
researcher from the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, and Donald J.
Harris, an economist from Jamaica.
Gopalan and Donald Harris were very active during the civil rights
and anti-Vietnam War protests of the era, often taking baby Kamala to protests
in a stroller, according to a recent article in San Jose daily newspaper
The Mercury News on the Harris family.
The couple separated after Donald Harris took a
professorship at the University of Madison–Wisconsin. Gopalan filed for
divorce in 1971 and won custody of her two daughters in 1973.
Kamala and her younger sister, Maya—now her presidential
campaign chair—regularly visited their father during school holidays.
In 1972, Donald Harris left the University of Madison–Wisconsin to
begin a visiting professorship of economics at Stanford University.
On Nov. 3, 1976, an article published in the Stanford Daily newspaper claimed that
more than 250 students were clamoring for more Marxist perspectives.
Shortly thereafter, a letter was published in the Stanford
Daily on Nov. 12, 1976, signed by the Stanford branch of the Union
for Radical Political Economics (URPE), with signatures from members Bill Dittenhofer,
Ari Cohen, Eric Berg, David O’Connor, Arthur Slepian, Sandy Thompson, and Tracy
Mott:
“The program in Marxian
economics would be much weaker than it is today if had it not been for massive
student efforts in the form of petitions, open meetings …
“[It] was only after a divisive
one and a one-half year struggle that the opposing elements in the department
gave into student pressure and conceded to ‘the appointment of
Prof. Donald Harris. Thus the presence of Marxian economists here simply
indicates the success of the student struggle. … The recent addition of course
offerings in Marxian economics is again a direct result of student pressure,
not departmental benevolence.”
After an 18-month campaign by the union, Harris was offered
and accepted a permanent professorship.
The URPE (which last year celebrated its
50th anniversary) began in 1968 as a spinoff of the radical Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS). URPE has overlapped considerably with America’s
largest Marxist organization, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), since
its founding in 1982. One of professor Donald Harris’s Stanford supporters and
URPE letter signatories, Mott, is now a professor at the University of Denver, where he works
with local DSA activists.
During the summer and fall of 2006, the DSA’s Political
Action Committee helped DSA activists around the country host house parties to
raise funds that helped Bernie Sanders become the “sole socialist in the
U.S. Senate.”
According to DSA magazine Democratic Left: “Boulder,
Colorado, guests braved a downpour to attend the party at the home
of Leslie Lomas and hear a talk about giving money by economics
professor and socialist Tracy Mott.”
According to The Mercury News: “Several of his former
students said it wasn’t accurate to describe him [Donald Harris] as Marxist,
although ‘he might have been a lot more sympathetic to Marx than a lot of other
economists were at the time,’ said Tracy Mott.”
Mott was being disingenuous. Several Stanford Daily articles at
the time described Donald Harris as “Marxist,” and Mott and his friends made it
very clear that Harris was hired specifically for his radical ideology.
Donald Harris wrote papers such as “The Black Ghetto as Colony: A
Theoretical Critique” (1972) and “Capitalist Exploitation and Black Labor:
Some Conceptual Issues” (1978).
Harris’s Marxism was never questioned or denied at any stage of
his career.
URPE also was very close to the Institute for Policy Studies
(IPS), once the largest and most influential of the far-left think tanks
in Washington. Since its founding in 1963, the IPS has consistently followed a
pro-Marxist line on foreign policy, defense, and economic issues.
To put its policy recommendations into action, the IPS “built networks
of contacts among congressional legislators and their staffs, academics,
government officials, and the national media,” according to the book “The War
Called Peace: The Soviet Peace Offensive.”
The IPS also was on very close terms with representatives of
communist Cuba and the former Soviet Union.
In 1978, in an article in National Review, Brian Crozier, director
of the London-based Institute for the Study of Conflict, described IPS as the
“perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if
they were to originate openly from the KGB.”
In the 1988 book “Winning America: Ideas and Leadership for the
1990s,” edited by IPS leaders Marcus Raskin and Chester Hartman, the IPS and
DSA affiliate Sean Gervasi recommended a slate of radical colleagues as
potential appointees in a hoped-for new Democratic administration after the
1988 election.
Gervasi’s wish list including the following:
• Barry Bluestone—SDS founder, DSA affiliate, URPE member. Served
as a member of the senior policy staff of former Rep. Richard Gephardt
(D-Mo.).
• Gar Alperovitz—IPS, DSA, Brookings Institute.
• Robert Browne—SDS, IPS.
• Jeff Faux—DSA affiliate. Faux has worked as an economist with
the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity and the U.S. Departments of State,
Commerce, and Labor.
• Carol O’Cleireacain—DSA member, Brookings
Institute. In 2014, she became Detroit deputy mayor for economic policy,
planning, and strategy.
• Howard Wachtel—IPS, URPE member.
And, of course, Donald Harris, Marxist professor and Kamala
Harris’s father.
Republican George H.W. Bush won the 1988 election, so professor
Harris stayed on at Stanford until his retirement.
Ironically, Kamala Harris’s most formidable opponent in the
Democratic primary so far is Bernie Sanders, a favorite of professor Harris’s
old URPE and DSA colleagues.
When Sanders drops out of a very crowded Democratic primary, will
his supporters cross over to support Kamala Harris?
I believe they will. In fact, I believe it has already been
decided.

Barack Obama: A Lifelong
Story of Russian Collusion
Commentary
Several U.S. presidents have genuinely
colluded with Russia or the former Soviet Union, but none
more so the 44th president of the United States, Barack
Obama. It’s no exaggeration to say that Obama
owes his entire career to Russian collusion.
In March 2012, President Obama made his famous
“off mic” remarks to then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev: “This is my last
election. After my election, I have more flexibility.” Medvedev replied, “I
understand. I transmit this information to Vladimir.”
Was this some innocent remark, or was it just
as it seems: a friend passing a message to a friend?
Obama has surrounded himself with
pro-Moscow “friends” all his life. Why should he desert his friends just
because he was president of the United States?
Just after Obama’s election to the
presidency on Nov. 15, 2008, Sam Webb, then-chairman of the still pro-Moscow
Communist Party USA, told his party comrades: “The
left can and should advance its own views and disagree with the Obama
administration without being disagreeable. Its tone should be respectful. We
are speaking to a friend.”
A lifelong friend.
Frank Marshall Davis
The young Obama, when he was 10 or 11
years old, was introduced to the Hawaii-based poet Frank
Marshall Davis by his maternal grandfather. Obama
maintained a relationship with the septuagenarian Davis until he left Hawaii
for Occidental College in Los Angeles at the age of 18.
Davis had joined the Communist Party USA in
Chicago by 1943, at the latest. He was militantly pro-Soviet, writing poems in
praise of both Stalin and the Red Army.
In 1948, Davis and his communist wife moved to Hawaii. According to Davis’s autobiography, he was
recommended to the Hawaiian comrades by secret Communist Party USA
members Paul Robeson and Harry Bridges of the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union.
Before going underground in 1950, the
Hawaiian Communist Party was one of the most dynamic in the United States at
the time. The mainland put huge resources into the Hawaiian Communist Party
because the Soviets wanted the U.S. military presence on the islands shut down.
The Hawaiian communists were charged with agitating against the U.S. military
bases at every opportunity.
FBI documents refer to information that
Davis “was observed photographing large sections of the [Hawaii] coastline with
a camera containing a telescopic lens.” The FBI information states: “Informant
stated that DAVIS spent much of his time in this activity. He said this was the
third different occasion DAVIS had been observed photographing shorelines and
beachfronts. Informant advised that it did not appear he was photographing any
particular objects.”
The FBI clearly suspected military
espionage. Davis was placed on the “Security Index,” which meant he was marked
for immediate arrest should war break out between the United States and the
Soviet Union.
Alice Palmer
Long-serving Illinois state Sen. Alice Palmer provided Obama’s entrée into electoral politics. Obama was
Palmer’s chief of staff when she ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1994, then
he took over her state Senate seat in 1996.
Palmer was a pro-Soviet propagandist.
In 1983, Palmer traveled to Czechoslovakia
to the Soviet-controlled World Peace Council’s Prague Assembly. At the time,
she served on the executive board of the Communist Party USA-dominated U.S.
Peace Council.
In 1985, Palmer was part of a delegation of
16 African-American journalists to the Soviet Union, East Germany, and
Czechoslovakia. Palmer represented her own Chicago-based “Black Press
Institute,” which was essentially a vehicle for disseminating Soviet propaganda
to America’s black population.
The trip was organized by Don Rojas, then executive of the International Organization of Journalists (IOJ),
in conjunction with the Black Press Institute, the National Alliance of Black
Journalists, and the National Newspaper Publishers Association—the United
States’ largest organization of owners of black newspapers.
American-educated Rojas was the former
press secretary to Grenada’s late communist leader, Maurice Bishop.
Palmer told the Communist Party USA’s
People’s Daily World:
“The trip was extraordinary because we were
able to sit down with our counterparts and with the seats of power in three
major capitals—Prague, Berlin and Moscow. We visited with foreign ministers, we
talked with the editors of the major newspapers in these three cities. …
“It was a very unusual trip because we were
given access. … Every effort was made to give us as much as we asked for. … We
came back feeling that we could speak very well about the interest of the
socialist countries in promoting peace.”
In March 1986, Palmer covered the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) Congress in Moscow for the Black Press
Institute.
In June 1986, the People’s Daily World
published a Black Press Institute article by Palmer on the CPSU conference,
entitled “An Afro-American Journalist in the USSR.” The article praised Soviet
“central planning” and included such statements as:
“We Americans can be misled by the major
media. We’re being told the Soviets are striving to achieve a comparatively low
standard of living compared with ours, but actually they have reached a basic
stability in meeting their needs and are now planning to double their
production.”
Palmer was elected IOJ vice president for
North America at the organization’s 10th Congress, held from Oct. 20–23, 1986,
in Prague. She also traveled to the Soviet Union and Bulgaria during the same
trip. Palmer’s duties were to include coordinating the activities of IOJ
chapters in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
The IOJ was a Soviet front operation based
in Prague, until its expulsion by the Czech government in 1995.
David Axelrod
A longtime friend of Obama, David Axelrod, led Obama’s 2008 and 2012 election campaigns and served as a senior
adviser to the president.
In the 1940s, Axelrod’s mother, Myril Axelrod, wrote for the left-leaning New York magazine “PM.” Though not
officially a communist publication, several Communist Party USA members worked
on the paper.
PM’s Washington correspondent, I.F. Stone, was later identified as a Communist Party USA member and a Soviet
intelligence agent.
One of PM’s writers, Earl Conrad, also
wrote for the leftist magazine Negro Story, as did Obama’s mentor, Frank
Marshall Davis.
While studying in Chicago, Axelrod was
mentored by longtime Chicago journalist and activist David Canter.
Canter spent his childhood in the Soviet
Union where his father, Harry Canter, former secretary of the Boston Communist
Party, translated Lenin’s works from Russian into English. This work earned
Harry Canter an audience with Stalin in 1932. After World War II, Harry Canter
settled his family in Chicago, where he took over a radical paper called the
Chicago Star—for sale because its owner, Frank Marshall Davis, was moving to
Hawaii.
David Canter joined the Communist Party USA
and would later become an associate of Obama.
By 1960, David Canter had teamed up with
well-known Chicago Communist Party USA member LeRoy Wolins. The duo owned a company called Translation World Publishers, which
specialized in publications from and about the Soviet Union. The company soon
attracted the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee, which
suspected Canter and Wolins of being conduits for Soviet propaganda.
In a report prepared by the House Committee
on Un-American Activities in May and July 1962, entitled “Communist Outlets for
the Distribution of Soviet Propaganda in the United States,” David Canter was
heavily quizzed about payments his company received from the Soviet Union.
After the U.S. government demanded that
Translation World Publishers register as the agent of a foreign power, Canter de-registered
the company.
The committee went on to find that:
“Translation World Publishers was an outlet
for the distribution of Soviet propaganda … this publishing house was
subsidized by Soviet funds and was created by known Communists to serve the
propaganda interests of the U.S.S.R.”
In 1963/64, the Soviet Union actively tried
to undermine Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, in favor of
Democrat Lyndon Johnson.
In their 1989 book, “The KGB Against the
Main Enemy—How the Soviet Intelligence Service Operates Against the United
States,” the United States’ premier communist researcher, Herbert Romerstein,
and former KGB officer Stanislav Levchenko examined Soviet attempts to blacken
Goldwater’s name and other Soviet campaigns of the time:
“The false charge that Goldwater was a
racist was only one of the smear campaigns used against his candidacy by the
Soviets and their surrogates. The American Communists covertly assisted in this
‘active measures’ campaign.
“A 1963 booklet claimed that Goldwater was
conspiring with the John Birch Society to organize a ‘putsch,’ or violent
insurrection, to take over the United States in 1964. The booklet, ‘Birch
Putsch Plans for 1964,’ contained no address for the publisher, Domino
Publications. The author used the not-very imaginative pseudonym, ‘John Smith,
as told to Stanhope T. McReady.’ There was nothing to tie this publication to
the communists until an ad for the book appeared in the pro-communist National
Guardian for April 25, 1963, listing the publisher as ‘Domino Publications,
Suite 900, 22 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois.’
“This was in fact the address of
Translation World Publishers, which was registered under the Foreign Agents
Registration Act as an agent of the Soviet Union. The co-owners, LeRoy Wolins
and David S. Canter, were identified by the House Committee on Un-American
Activities as members of the Communist Party USA.”
Axelrod’s mentor was a Soviet-funded
professional “black propagandist.” Axelrod used similar smear tactics to help
Obama win a U.S. Senate seat in 2006 and the presidency in 2008 and 2012.
Valerie Jarrett
The “other half of Obama’s brain,” Valerie Jarrett was a longtime Obama family friend and the president’s closest
adviser through his entire eight years in the White House.
FBI documents show that Jarrett’s
maternal grandfather, Chicago businessman and Housing Authority Chairman Robert Taylor, was “in contact” with alleged Soviet spy Alfred Stern “on a number of occasions.” At one point, the pair were actually
in business together. Under investigation by the FBI, Stern fled the country in
the late 1950s through Mexico to the Soviet Union before settling in
Czechoslovakia.
FBI files also reveal, “Bowman was also a
member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and
Medical Students,” according to Judicial Watch.
Another document in the files was a note
from J. Edgar Hoover to FBI officials in Denver instructing them to investigate
“James Edward Bowman” for his connections to other suspects.
The Judicial Watch report explained,
“According to Bowman’s government file, the Association of Internes and Medical
Students is an organization that ‘has long been a faithful follower of the
Communist Party line’ and engages in un-American activities. Bowman was born in
Washington, D.C., and had deep ties to Chicago, where he often collaborated
with fellow Communists.”
Jarrett’s father-in-law, prominent Chicago
journalist Vernon Jarrett, was a leader of the
Communist Party USA youth wing, American Youth for Democracy, in 1946.
In early 1948, the communist-controlled
Packinghouse Workers went on strike in Chicago. Vernon Jarrett served on the
publicity committee of the communist-run “Citizens’ Committee to Aid
Packing-House Workers,” alongside none other than fellow journalist and comrade
Frank Marshall Davis.
Vernon Jarrett was also a fan of Obama. He
watched his career from its early stages and became an influential supporter.
In 1992, Obama worked for the ACORN
offshoot Project Vote to register black voters in aid of the Senate campaign
of Carol Moseley Braun, who also had
strong Communist Party USA ties.
Obama helped Moseley Braun win her Senate
seat, then took it over himself in 2004, backed by the same communist/socialist
alliance that had backed Moseley Braun.
Commenting on the 1992 race, Vernon Jarrett
wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times on Aug. 11, 1992:
“Good news! Good news! Project Vote, a
collectivity of 10 church-based community organizations dedicated to black
voter registration, is off and running. Project Vote is increasing its rolls at
a 7,000-per-week clip. … If Project Vote is to reach its goal of registering
150,000 out of an estimated 400,000 unregistered blacks statewide, ‘it must
average 10,000 rather than 7,000 every week,’ says Barack Obama, the program’s
executive director.”
Council for a Livable
World
Established in 1962 by former Hungarian
communist sympathizer and alleged Soviet spy Leo Szilard, the Washington-based Council
for a Livable World (CLW) has done huge damage to the
U.S. military—all to the benefit of Moscow.
The CLW’s modus operandi is to fund leftist
senators and congressmembers, then lobby them hard for defense cuts and
disadvantageous arms reduction treaties with the Soviet Union/Russia.
The CLW claims to have had an early
influence on both Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden.
“Council for a Liveable World has a history
of helping to elect new candidates who can make a difference in the Senate,
such as a little-known state senator from Illinois named Barack Obama and a
29-year-old Joe Biden in his first statewide contest,” the CLW wrote in 2012.
The CLW helped fund Obama’s 2004 U.S.
Senate race. Obama has also been pictured (circa mid-1990s) alongside longtime
CLW leader Massachusetts-based socialist Jerome Grossman.
CLW Executive Director John Isaacs wrote in Grossman’s eulogy: “Now, as
an aside, we have a dictum at Council for a Livable World. If we support a
candidate in his or her first major political contest, he or she will always
remember who was with them at the beginning. That has been true with such
political figures—(he says modestly)—as President Barack Obama and Vice
President Joseph Biden.”
In October 2007, the CLW praised Sen. Obama “for his pledge to pursue
a world without nuclear weapons and to improve U.S.–Russian relations.”
At a speech at DePaul University,
Obama stated: “Here’s what I’ll say as president:
America seeks a world in which there are no nuclear weapons. … We’ll work with
Russia to take U.S. and Russian ballistic missiles off hair-trigger alert, and
to dramatically reduce the stockpiles of our nuclear weapons and material.”
As the Soviet Union/Russia has cheated on
every single arms-reduction treaty with the United States, Obama was
effectively proposing unilateral U.S. disarmament.
Former Sen. Gary Hart, then chairman of the
CLW, applauded Obama’s pledge.
“By placing the issue of the elimination of
nuclear arsenals at the center of his foreign policy, Sen. Barack Obama has
performed a great public service and deserves attention and respect from all
those who see this issue as crucial to our times and who have been watching and
waiting for strong leadership and courage,” Hart said in a statement.
In June 2013, President Obama used a speech
in Berlin to outline plans for further reductions in the U.S. nuclear arsenal
“if Russia agrees to pare back its weapons at the same time.”
“Resuming a drive toward disarmament that
he had largely shunted aside over the past two years, Mr. Obama will propose
trimming the number of strategic warheads that each of the two big nuclear
powers still maintains by up to a third, taking them below the 1,550 permitted
in the treaty he signed with Russia in his first term, a senior administration
official said. That would leave each country with just over 1,000 weapons.
“Mr. Obama will also declare that he will
work with NATO allies to develop proposals for major cuts in tactical nuclear
weapons, which are not covered by the existing treaty. Russia, which has far
more tactical nuclear weapons deployed than the United States and Europe do,
has firmly resisted such cuts. There are fears that its tactical weapons are in
parts of Russia where they risk being seized by terrorist groups.
“Mr. Obama will also announce that he will
host a final nuclear security summit meeting in the United States just before
he leaves office. …
“’The most important thing he could do is
lay out the broad agenda for the next three and a half years,’ said John
Isaacs, executive director of the Council for a Livable World, an advocacy
group.
“In addition to further reductions, Mr.
Isaacs said, there are several policy changes Mr. Obama could take that would
move the country further away from cold war-style national security. He said
the president could take nuclear weapons off high alert and change nuclear
doctrine to say that the only purpose of such weapons would be as a deterrent.”
Under the Obama administration, while
America disarmed, Moscow pulled well ahead of the United States in virtually
every realm of nuclear and conventional weaponry.
The situation has gotten so bad that
President Donald Trump had to unilaterally withdraw from the Intermediate-Range
Nuclear Forces Treaty (which Russia has continually cheated on) in order to
give the U.S. military some chance of catching up to Moscow.
How Many Russian Agents Do
You Know?
Most Americans don’t personally know any
Russian agents. Most Americans aren’t surrounded by friends and advisers who
know Russian agents.
Obama has been surrounded by pro-Moscow
communists and probable Soviet agents his entire life. Several of his political
enablers also have Soviet/Russian connections.
How unlucky can one guy get?
Obama’s economic, social, and military
policies damaged the United States in a myriad of ways. Many of his military
and foreign policies also directly or indirectly benefited Moscow.
Despite a lifetime of radical associations,
Obama never had to undergo any form of a security background check to serve in
the Illinois State Senate, U.S. Senate, or the White House. It’s highly
unlikely he could have passed a security check to drive a school bus, let alone
serve as the leader of the Free World.
Imagine what a two-year,
multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-funded investigation into Obama’s Russian ties
might uncover.
If Obama was a fully recruited agent of
Moscow, tasked with giving Russia a significant military advantage over the
United States, and economically weakening and socially dividing the nation, how
would he have conducted his presidency (or his post-presidency) any
differently?

Kamala Harris offers debt
forgiveness — to people who don't have debts
Kamala Harris would like you to know that
she is smart. She wears her business suits with heels and pearls,
after all, and makes her staff do likewise. Her book about her life as a
prosecutor is called 'Smart on Crime.'
Kamala Harris
is a great progressive. Please donate to help Kamala and the Democrats defeat
Trump in 2020.
Kamala Harris
clearly won the Democratic presidential primary debate. She slayed, repeatedly,
and came across as incredibly serious, smart, tough and presidential. Here is one such moment:
"I will
ensure that this microphone, that the president of the United States holds in
HER hand, is used in a way that is about reflecting the values of our
country."
The press coverage she gets reflects all
those claims to smartness.
So now Harris is a face in the
Democratic clown car, doing what the rest of them are doing, trying to offer
more free stuff than the next guy in order to stand out. Here's
her tweet:
Yesterday I announced
that, as president, I’ll establish a student loan debt forgiveness program for
Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged
communities. https://kamalaharris.org/opportunity-gap/ …
Reducing the Opportunity Gap: Investing in HBCUs and
Black Entrepreneurship
Well, who is
going to be able to start a business if they're overloaded with student loan
debt? And then you're asking people who already have a lot of debt to take on
even more debt.
And there's a
bigger problem. Pell Grants don't need to be repaid, they're grants, not loans.
Why doesn't
she know that?
So I guess everyone who's overloaded with
student debt can rely on the old trust fund to start the business, is that
it? Sounds like some real grounding in the real world from Willie
Brown's former squeeze.
And more to the point, Pell Grants, as the
name says, are grants, not loans. Nobody turns up with
debt on that program. Offering debt forgiveness of zero
is...zero. Smart on debt? Maybe only to her.
Sound like a great smart proposal?
No, sounds as if Harris doesn't know what
she's talking about. What's worse, doesn't know that she doesn't
know. She's trying to sound targeted and clever, no doubt in a bid
to whip up interest in her novel plans, but she doesn't know a thing about Pell
Grants except that they go to poor people, and for the poor, offering more free
stuff (instead of J-O-B-S) is all she needs to do. Even if it's not
exactly debt forgiveness, given that there's no debt.
This is one stupid woman who's less smart
and thinks the rest of us are stupid. She doesn't do her
homework, not even on things she's saying herself. She's holding out
loan forgiveness to people who don't have loans. This isn't staff
work she can blame for faulty research given that it was her own
tweet, this is actually she.
Not exactly the person you'd want to see
in the White House, makin' it up as she goes along, pandering, offering
bee ess goodies that aren't goodies — and then telling us she's
smart. Ugh.

The Rainbow Coalition
Re-visited: Why Kamala Harris Will Be the Democratic Presidential Nominee

It’s over. The Democratic presidential
primary was decided months, maybe even years ago.
President Donald Trump should refocus his
energies away from Joe Biden and relegate Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie
Sanders to the sidelines. The Democratic nominee
will be California’s junior senator, Kamala
Harris—and she will be very hard to beat. Not
because of her personal qualities, formidable though they are, but because of
the machine backing her and the philosophy guiding her.
Harris is set to harvest the seeds sown by
former President Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson before him. Like Jackson’s
presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, which paved the way for Obama in 2008
and 2012, the 2020 Democratic campaign will be all about race.
When Jackson ran in 1988, he united enough
white leftists and progressive “people of color” under his Rainbow Coalition
banner to earn 7 million votes in the Democratic primary. Obama used the same
formula 20 years later to win the presidency and then repeated the trick four
years later.
In Jackson’s day, about 12 percent of
voters belonged to “minorities.” Today, the figure is closer to 40 percent.
Harris—a female, of black, Irish, and Asian Indian extraction, far-left but not
publicly so—is the ideal modern Rainbow Coalition candidate.
The original Rainbow Coalition was led
largely by pro-China communists—from Line of March, Communist Workers Party,
and especially the 3,000-strong League of Revolutionary Struggle (LRS).
One LRS supporter, Stanford University law
student Steve Phillips, was Jackson’s West Coast student organizer in both the
1984 and 1988 campaigns.
“I’ve studied Marx, Mao, and Lenin. In
college, I organized solidarity efforts for freedom struggles in South Africa
and Nicaragua, and I palled around with folks who considered themselves
communists and revolutionaries …, and I did my research paper on the Black
Panther Party. … My political baptism was the Jesse Jackson 1984 Presidential
campaign …”
When Jackson abandoned the Rainbow
Coalition after his 1988 loss, many LRS cadres stayed with the Democratic
Party. In 1990, the LRS dissolved with the majority faction to form a Unity Organizing Committee (UOC), which was specifically created to further infiltrate the
Democrats.
Phillips was a UOC leader and became a
prominent Democrat in the Bay Area. In the early 1990s, he was elected to the
San Francisco School Board. Phillips also married his Stanford University
sweetheart Susan Sandler—the daughter of Golden West savings and loan
billionaires Herb and Marion Sandler.
The Sandlers put almost half of their $2.4
billion profit from the sale of Golden West to Wachovia Bank into the left.
They fund the Center for American Progress, ProPublica, and many candidates and
ballot measures around the nation.
According to journalist Matt Bai,
Progressive Insurance billionaire Peter Lewis, along with Democratic donors
George Soros and the Sandlers, established America Votes “to coordinate various
get-out-the-vote drives during the 2004 election.” To consolidate this process,
the Sandlers also sent their son-in-law Phillips as their representative in
October 2005 to help found the “Democracy Alliance” at the Chateau Elan near
Atlanta.
The Democracy Alliance has now grown to more than 150 members—all leftist billionaires
and multimillionaires fixated on moving the United States permanently to the
left.
