Comintern in Moscow. The leaders of these Parties were sent to Moscow for training in<br />

communist theory and revolutionary tactics, so they could return to spread propaganda in order<br />

to recruit members.<br />

Organized communism began in the United States when Socialist Eugene V. Debs ran for the<br />

Presidency in 1900, 1904, and 1908. When he ran in 1912, he garnered over 6% of the vote. The<br />

U.S. Communist Party was organized in 1919, having sprung from ideas gleaned from books and<br />

pamphlets smuggled in from Europe, and nurtured by members of the Illuminati. They joined the<br />

Comintern, which is the world Communist organization run by the Soviet Union.<br />

To aid the local parties, there were hundreds of ‘front’ organizations established to defend<br />

Soviet policies and attack its opponents. They functioned through the media, local Communist<br />

parties, and other small organizations. Among the organizations controlled by Russia:<br />

International Institute for Peace (Vienna), World Council of Peace (Prague), International Union<br />

of Students (Prague), Women’s International Democratic Federation (E. Berlin), International<br />

Association of Democratic Lawyers (Brussels), World Federation of Scientific Workers<br />

(London), International Organization of Journalists (Prague), World Federation of Trade Unions<br />

(Prague), World Federation of Teachers Unions (Prague), International Radio and Television<br />

Organization, and the International Medical Association (formerly known as the World Congress<br />

of Doctors).<br />

Some of the groups operating in the United States and Canada: American Friends Service<br />

Committee, Arms Control Association, Center for Defense Information, Coalition for a New<br />

Foreign and Military Policy, Council on Economic Priorities, National Lawyers Guild, Citizens<br />

Committee for a Sane World, War Register League, Women for Racial and Economic Equality,<br />

and the Center for International Policy.<br />

There were also a number of bilateral organizations, known as ‘Friendship Societies’ which<br />

also work under Soviet direction, some of these were: British-Soviet Friendship Society, Britain-<br />

China Friendship Society, Soviet-India Friendship Society, and the Society for Friendship with<br />

the Peoples of Africa.<br />

On top of all of this support, Communism also had its apologists and representatives in our<br />

government, such as Sen. J. William Fulbright (a CFR member), Chairman of the Senate Foreign<br />

Relations Committee, who said in a speech on the floor of the Senate, on June 29, 1961,<br />

concerning world Communism: “We can hope to do little more than mitigate our problems as<br />

best we can and learn how to live with them.” He believed that once Russia caught up to the<br />

United States in technology, relations would improve between the two countries. He advocated<br />

increased aid, and compromises to avoid direct confrontation. He felt that the presence of Soviet<br />

missiles in Cuba did not endanger our national security. When Tito, the Yugoslavia dictator,<br />

joined with Russia to provide “all necessary aid to North Vietnam,” Fulbright said that<br />

Yugoslavia had “proven itself a reliable and stalwart associate in the advancement of certain<br />

interests on which our interests coincide.” Later, the Johnson Administration sent them 700,000<br />

tons of American wheat, 92,000 bales of cotton, and gave them a loan for $175 million to aid<br />

their economy and industry.<br />

Jimmy Carter said in 1980: “Being confident of our own future, we are now free of that<br />

inordinate fear of communism.” Walter Mondale said in 1981: I’m very worried about U.S.-<br />

Soviet relations. I cannot understand– it just baffles me why the Soviets these last few years have<br />

behaved as they have. Maybe we have made some mistakes...” Sen. John Glenn, a member of the<br />

Foreign Relations Committee, said in 1983: “I don’t think you want to involve American troops<br />

even if El Salvador was about to fall to communist-backed guerrillas.” Many of our country’s
