ACLU
Having found that Americans could be led to support socialist causes only if socialism were falsely called something else, American socialists created many fronts which appealed to some emotion or prejudice of factional groups in the population. Leadership and tactics of socialist fronts came largely from the parent group, League for Industrial Democracy. For example, Roger N. Baldwin, prominent in LID, was one of the initial founders of a socialist front which ultimately became the American Civil Liberties Union. In a letter to a socialist agitator, Baldwin said:
"Do steer away from making it look like a Socialist enterprise....We want also to look [like] patriots in everything we do. We want to get a good lot of flags, talk a good deal about the Constitution and what our forefathers wanted to make of this country, and to show that we are really the folks that really stand for the spirit of our institutions." (1)
Formed in the spring of 1917, the Roger Baldwin group was first called American Union Against Militarism. It pretended to be a pacifist organization, devoted to defense of all who objected to the draft during WWI; but, in reality, it was a legal wing of the socialist movement. Jane Addams, Adolph A. Berle, Max Eastman, Norman Thomas, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise were among prominent socialists who joined Roger Baldwin in founding American Union Against Militarism.
On November 1, 1917, the organization became the National Civil Liberties Bureau. It had enormous influence during WWI, because: (1) it received support from individuals such as Walter Lippmann, Felix Frankfurter, Frederick Keppel, Colonel Edward Mandel House; and (2) it received money from the Carnegies. (1)
On January 12, 1920, the National Civil Liberties Bureau was reorganized as American Civil Liberties Union, under the guidance of Roger N. Baldwin, Felix Frankfurter, Louis F. Batons, William Z. Foster, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Jane Addams, Arthur Garfield Hays, Robert Morss Lovett, A. J. Muste, Norman Thomas, Harold J. Laski and others. (1) Batons, Foster and Flynn were prominent officials of the American communist party.
NAACP
In 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was organized in New York City. As early as 1920, a Joint Legislative Committee of the New York State Legislature reported that NAACP, while pretending to work for the advancement of colored people, was in reality a front to promote socialism among blacks and among whites who either wanted to exploit, or were emotional about, what they considered the "plight of Negroes" in the United States. W.E.B. DeBois was principle founder of NAACP.(1) DeBois, a member of the Intercollegiate Socialist Party, had a long career as a communist leader. He died in Africa in 1963, a hero of the international communist movement.
[Ed. Note: I have been lied to and betrayed by every white politician I've ever supported or voted for during my entire adult life. I don't hate any black American who points out this fact to me because it's the truth and I don't live in a state of denial. I think that the term "colored people" is very demeaning to black Americans and I encourage them, as I have done, to get the provable facts, never mind people's skin color, and help us unite America in this fight to keep our nation free for all our people.
On the front page of the NAACP's web site it says "90 Years of Fighting for Democracy." America is not a democracy and no democracy in the history of the world has ever survived. This organization is a fraud and hasn't done a single thing to help the advancement of black Americans any more than the KKK or any white supremacist group who claim, in their ignorance and stupidity, to protect the white race. It's all a game to the people behind the scene orchestrating the downfall of our Republic. It's no conspiracy. One only has to do some hard reading time. If America is ever to become truly color blind, everyone has to stop categorizing people by a color and simply refer to US as Americans.]
SNCC
The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC - violent civil rights organization) was formed in 1960 by the National Student Association, The National Student Christian Federation, and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). SDS (student branch of LID) was the prime mover in setting up SNCC.(5)
The Louisiana Joint Legislative Committee has reported that SNCC is "substantially under the influence of the Communist Party."(6) Officials of SNCC belittle the importance of communist participation in SNCC activities. One SNCC official, Jimmy Garrett, says:
"We are subverting them. We're more revolutionary than the Communists."(7)
Brotherhood Among Leftists
The League for Industrial Democracy (LID), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), are the three most important socialist fronts organized in the United States during the first quarter of this century. The record of their formation reveals how closely socialists and communists worked together for their common objective - utilizing the Fabian technique of deception.
Since the end of WWI, communists and other socialists have worked harmoniously together for their common cause - by setting up fronts with names and stated purposes which appeal to the reformist, uplifting urge of do-gooders. The deception enabled socialists to draw Americans with respected names into socialist fronts. It also created a tremendous lobby for unconstitutional federal programs. Socialists and communists support federal programs which require taxing and spending by the federal government, in defiance of constitutional limitations, because this gives them appeal as advocates of welfare for the downtrodden.
But, it does something far more important than that for the cause of socialism: it concentrates economic and political power in the central government, to the detriment of state governments. As our federal system thus crumbles, the Washington bureaucracy becomes so big and complicated that the elected legislative branch of government loses control. Unable to operate efficiently in its constitutional role as formulator of national policy, Congress surrenders its responsibilities to gigantic bureaus and corporations, managed by an elite of appointed experts who make and enforce "administrative law" in defiance of the Constitution. Thus, the federal government is gradually transformed into a totalitarian bureaucracy.
Eventually, brotherhood with communists became an embarrassment to "respectable" American socialists. When the Soviet Union invaded Finland in 1939, for example, many American socialists winced at being publicly associated with communists who supported the bungling and bloody Soviet Tyranny. They were further embarrassed when the Soviets signed a treaty of friendship with the Nazis.
When the United States entered WWII as an ally of the Soviets, American communists enjoyed another period of open fraternization and cooperation with most other socialist groups in the United States. But back in 1946, the American public had come to the sickening realization that our Soviet socialist ally was a more monstrous tyranny and a far greater threat to our own peace and security that the socialist enemy we had been fighting.
The administration in Washington, and practically all foundations and institutions devoted to the subtle approach toward socialism, had been infiltrated by communists and were losing public respect. If liberalism - which is Fabian socialism - were to survive and flourish, it had to rid itself of the communist taint.
Liberals did not change their objectives. They continued to work for a totalitarian state, but spoke out publicly against communism. CIO union, which were known to be controlled by communists, were expelled from the CIO. The CIO itself, and the unions which were expelled, continued to work as before, for a common objective; but publicly they called each other dirty names. The CIO, formed by socialists and communists and dedicated to the totalitarian socialist state, loudly proclaimed itself a staunch foe of communism. The same thing happened to other leading, "respectable" leftist organizations: the Anti-Defamation League, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
[Ed. Note: My brother belongs to the teamsters union. Every election cycle they send him literature with "recommended choices" to vote for: each and every one is a leftist, socialist, CFR, Tri Lateralist or just plain fascist incumbent like Diane Feinstein, Silly Billy, Diane DeGette, Chuckie Schumer and their ilk. My brother puts this propaganda mail in the garbage where it belongs. For Americans who belong to unions: If you love America and freedom, I urge you to find out the real agenda of those in leadership positions in your unions. Find out what organizations they belong to and talk to every person in your union that you can reach.]
Yet, liberals claiming to be anti-communists, remained virulent anti-anti-communists. Communists, socialists, and totalitarian liberals may right among themselves about tactics and strategy; but they adhere to a code of the political underworld which unites them in a tight bond to fight their common enemy - the genuine anti-communists.
[Now we come to Warren Beatty's host organization at the function mentioned at the top of this piece.]
ADA
Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) was a product of the early postwar period when American totalitarian liberals tried to purge themselves of the communist taint.
ADA was founded in January, 1947. One of the principal founders was Francis Biddle (who had been Franklin D. Roosevelt's Attorney General). Biddle said the ADA was created to "split from the liberal movement in America those elements of communism and fellow travelers which...did great harm to the liberal movement." (8, 9, 10) Biddle was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Here are other prominent founders of the ADA (CFR after a name indicating membership in the Council on Foreign Relations):
Joseph Alsop; Stewart Alsop; Barry Bingham (CFR); Chester Bowles (CFR); James B. Carey; Marquis Childs (CFR); David Dubinsky (CFR); Morris Ernst; J. Kennth Galbraith (CFR); A. J. Hayes; Joseph P. Lash; Reinhold Niebuhr (CFR); Walter P. Reuther; Eleanor Roosevelt; Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr; Arthur M. Scholesinger, Jr. (CFR); James Wschsler; Paul H. Douglas; Herbert H. Lehman (CFR); Hubert H. Humphrey (CFR).
To get some inkling of ADA power, note some important individuals in the Johnson administration who are ADA members:
Hubert H. Humphrey - Vice-President; Eugenie Anderson - Ambassador to Bulgaria; Chester Bowles - Ambassador to India; Philip H. Coombs - Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural affairs; Thomas K. Finletter - Permanent Representative to NATO; Orville L. Freemn, Secretary of Agriculture; W. Averell Harriman - Ambassador-at-Large; James Loeb, Jr. - Ambassador to Guinea; Howard Morgan - Member of Federal Power Commission; Charles S. Murphy - Under Secretary of Agriculture; Wilbur Nrstigen - Under Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare; Robert C. Weaver - Administrator, Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency; G. Mennen Williams - Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs; Harris K. Wofford - Special Assistant to the President.
Here are United States Senators known to be members of the ADA (All Democrats except Javits):
Joseph S. Clark, Jr. (PA); Paul H. Douglas (Ill); Jacob K. Javits (NY); Eugene J. McCarthy (MN); Wayne Morse (Ore.) Maurine B. Neuberger (Ore.); Harrison B. Williams (NJ). (8,9,10)
The following United States Representatives (all Democrats) are known ADA members:
Henry B. Gonzales (TX); Robert Kastenmeier (Wis.); James Roosevelt (Calif.); William Fitts Ryan (NY).
