A brief study of ACLU founders, Roger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, and Albert DeSilver, and the belief systems and political agenda that led them to form the ACLU will tell you exactly what the ACLU is about. An examination of ACLU positions on the above listed International Socialist agenda will provide further confirmation.

Well known American names like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford and many others, while considered by most Americans to be generational pillars of our community today, also appear on the member rolls and donor lists of a multitude of International Socialist organizations.

Several key members of Congress also appear on those same member rolls and donor lists, and many even hold offices both in Congress as well as the Democratic Socialist Party of America, which few Americans have ever even heard of. Most American labor unions are member/donors of International Socialist organizations as well and International Socialist organizations work directly with the leadership of those American unions in pursuit of common political interests.

What McCarthy saw as a growing threat of clandestine Communist sympathizers and subversives long ago, is now a well funded, well organized American movement operating in plain view and the growing list of contributing organizations is unapologetic and almost endless.

In the early 1900’s, a pacifist organization known as the American Union Against Militarism was formed to promote the anti-war agenda in the run-up to WWI. At the helm was a member of the International Communist Party from Boston, Roger Nash Baldwin. The organization operated as anti-war pacifists (conscientious objectors – useful idiots) designed to combat the “war spirit” of the time. But Baldwin had a much bigger agenda, right from the start.

“I am for Socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself...I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”
-- Roger Nash Baldwin

During those early years, the organization also operated under the names American Union for Democratic Peace and the League for an American Peace. Involved in efforts to undermine American Military Intelligence operations, the organization became a target of anti-spy initiatives under the Wilson administration.

Their activities included lobbying members of Congress, publishing, distributing and lecturing on Communist bent anti-American propaganda aimed at stopping America’s involvement in WWI.

Under investigation as an anti-American spy ring, the name of the organization was changed again and again, to the Civil Liberties Bureau, then the National Civil Liberties Bureau and eventually, the American Civil Liberties Union, or today’s ACLU.

Baldwin, Eastman and DeSilver remain listed as the original founders and spiritual mentors of the ACLU today. But there are two other noteworthy names that helped establish what has become the most influential agency of the American Fifth Column, Norman Thomas and Clarence Darrow, both of whom were pacifist communist sympathizers and instrumental in founding and developing today’s ACLU.

Though the early public emphasis was on opposing WWI and defending “conscientious objectors” from government prosecution, behind the scenes, the organization was already in the business of undermining American national security and foreign policy, spreading communist propaganda and eroding public confidence in fundamental American principles and values.

In 1934, five years after forming the ACLU, Baldwin authored a piece titled "Freedom in the USA and the USSR." In it he wrote: "The class struggle is the central conflict of the world; all others are incidental. When that power of the working class is once achieved, as it has been only in the Soviet Union, I am for maintaining it by any means whatever. Dictatorship is the obvious means in a world of enemies at home and abroad. I dislike it in principle as dangerous to its own objects. But the Soviet Union has already created liberties far greater than exist elsewhere in the world.”

But this is not what the average American voter knows about the ACLU...and there are literally hundreds of Fifth Column Agencies operating in plain view today. Combined, they have spent the last hundred years turning America inside-out.
