LOOMING DISASTER

From Disinformation to Bloody Violence
ington to report on the success of the surge in Iraq to Congress,
and success was just not something ANSWER could swallow. Its
slogans, distributed to the demonstrators, portrayed the general as a
traitor and Vietnam-style American butcher. The bused-in demonstrators
became violent and some 190 were arrested. “The inspired
willingness of thousands to die-in and risk arrest – those were the
features that made September 15 somewhat more akin to the militant
marches and actions that became a characteristic feature of the
movement that helped end the Vietnam War,” states an article still
posted on ANSWER’s website. 3 That is virtually word-for-word how
the KGB – and my Romanian DIE – portrayed the anti-American
demonstrations organized by the Soviet bloc intelligence community
in Western Europe during the Vietnam War.
Now ANSWER has headquarters in New York, Chicago, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and six other major U.S. cities.
Fighting tooth and nail against the capitalist Donald Trump and
fomenting hatred toward the police are now its main objectives.
