UNEARTHED LETTERS LINK ACLU FOUNDERS TO COMMUNIST PARTY

The Daily Caller wrote:Noted author Paul Kengor has unearthed declassified letters and other documents in the Soviet Comintern archives linking early leaders of the ACLU with the Communist Party.

Kengor found a May 23, 1931 letter in the archives signed by ACLU founder Roger Baldwin, written on ACLU stationery, to then American Communist Party Chairman William Z. Foster asking him to help ACLU Chairman Harry Ward with his then-upcoming trip to Stalin's Russia.

The letter suggests Ward intended to visit the Soviet Union to find “evidence from Soviet Russia” that would undermine the capitalist profit motive.

Baldwin wrote the letter at a time when Stalin was deporting 1.8 million Ukrainian peasants to Siberia under his policy of the forced collectivization of agriculture, which resulted in the deaths of up to 10 million Ukrainians in the two years that followed.

The Ukrainian government considers this to have been an act of genocide.

Foster was a key figure in the early years of the American communist movement who belonged to the ACLU's National Committee in the 1920s, according to FBI documents. He later wrote a book titled “Toward Soviet America” in 1932 and also testified under oath before Congress that he opposed American democracy.

Another letter on ACLU letterhead Kengor found in the Soviet archives dated Sept. 2, 1932 asks the Communist Party of America for a schedule of Foster's trips around the country and offers to help keep the police at bay. It also asks for the names and addresses of Communist Party representatives in the cities where Foster was speaking.

Kengor also found a flier from 1933 advertising ACLU board member Corliss Lamont as the headline speaker for “Soviet Union Day,” which its organizers hoped would “answer lies and slanders of enemies of the Soviet Union.”

The documents found their way into the Soviet archives because the Communist Party sent all of its correspondences to the Comintern in Moscow for safekeeping, according to Kengor.

Other documents released in the 1990s by KGB defector Vasili Mitrokhin show the American Communist Party was under the Moscow's direct control until 1989.

“These guys were advocating a regime that arguably was the biggest mass murderer in all of human history,” Kengor said. “Where is the moral authority in that?”

Kengor told The Daily Caller he found numerous other documents in the Soviet Comintern archives that also show a close relationship between the Communist Party and the ACLU.

Dear Kim_Jung_Il'n -

I had to go into your post and add a quote and a title into the link.

I understand your desire to conserve bandwidth and screen space, which are in shortage in the country you so gloriously rule, but over here we still have excessive, unsustainable capitalism that (for now at least) allows to post more than one line and a link. In the future, please don't be shy to post at least a paragraph, preferably with an image.

So what is the big deal, ACLU means Angry Communist Losers United.

It sure is a surprise that they're communist.

It kinda puts a different perspective on the ACLU's late 1970s battle to force the town of Skokie, Ill, to allow a Nazi Party march. All along folks probably thought that the ACLU was in favor or free speech or something; this suggests the ACLU's real motivation is simply that they can't resist getting leg tingles around murderous thugs in uniforms.

Note to anyone who doubts the power and authority of Red Square: He just told Dear Leader Kim where to stick it. That is power.

I can't wait for the FCC to start enforcing Net Neutrality. Then all posts will be most equal by law and Red Square won't have to fret as much as he does.

(I wonder how much the FCC would've fined comrade Kim Jung Il'n?)
