On March 25, 2005 a.N.S.W.E.R.–act Now To Stop The War & End Racism organized the demonstration in Los angeles demanding amnesty for Illegal immigrants. The a.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition believes that the struggle for immigrant rights, workers' rights and the fight against racism at home must be part and parcel of the struggle against war and imperialism. In the coming days and weeks, a.N.S.W.E.R. organizers, volunteers and activists will continue to participate in all levels of the mass movement in defense of immigrant rights and the defeat of the Sensenbrenner Bill (HR 4437). a.N.S.W.E.R. says to Congress and all the anti-immigrant racists that "No Human Being is Illegal!"
The a.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition provided logistical support and mobilized for the demonstration in Los angeles. Thousands of a.N.S.W.E.R.'s yellow and black placards reading "amnistía, Full Rights for all Immigrants" were held throughout the march. a.N.S.W.E.R. also distributed tens of thousands of leaflets, gathered thousands of signatures on a petition demanding "Full Rights for all Immigrants" and organized a major contingent in the march.
In order to understand the significance of this demonstration, it is necessary to understand who are the organizations represented in a.N.S.W.E.R. and what other causes they have sponsored.
a.N.S.W.E.R., is an organization bringing together the alliance. The a.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition formed on September 14, 2001. It is a coalition of hundreds of organizations and prominent individuals and scores of organizing centers in cities and towns across the country. Its national steering committee represents major national organizations that have campaigned against U.S. intervention in Latin america, the Caribbean, the Middle East and asia, and organizations that have campaigned for civil rights and for social and economic justice for working and poor people inside the United States.
Steering Committee
On March 17, 2006, Lee Kaplan writing in Front Page Magazine on "The Divestment Conference at Georgetown" sponsored by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). "The Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM) is merely the name used by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in the United States. He reported that at the conference, which he attended that "The International Solidarity Movement is not a separate movement. I have a recording of its founder, adam Shapiro, at the Ohio State conference, stating the PSM and ISM are the same organization. all are funded through Middle East Children's alliance in Berkeley. The Palsolidarity website says to make donations out to ISM USa and attending groups at this conference are named ISM-New York, ISM Washington and Norcal ISM." I concluded. "The ISM has been linked to terrorism and that is why you do want the affiliation recognized.""
From the e-Zion Commentary a description of the Palestine Solidarity Movement emerges. Following are quotations from this site. "The Palestine Solidarity Movement meeting held at Georgetown University offered a fascinating and horrifying spectacle it seems. You could watch subversion and evil at work, genocide prepared while you wait. allyson Rowen Taylor attended the conference as an observer for the american Jewish Congress. Her notes are "must reading" if you want to comprehend the magnitude of the evil contemplated by these people and to understand the purpose, the mechanism and the approach. Briefly, the idea is to annihilate Israel as a Jewish state. The strategies adopted for doing it are boycotts and divestment campaigns that isolate Israel and cast it in the role of apartheid South africa. Do I exaggerate? Here is Mohamed abed:
Divestment and Boycott have a successful precedent in South africa. Isolation of cultural spheres in the intellectual community will help isolate Israel. Jews must be prepared for a future in Palestine. There will be no division of the land...
Make sure they understand that divestment and boycott should be implemented, and this is a unifying factor for activists. This should be stressed, that this in not just a Palestinian cause, but for all of us who believe in multiculturalism. This is very attractive to liberals, and engaging. The situation is now at a standstill, and this is a last vestige of hope.
This plan for the destruction and submersion of the entire Jewish people in Israel, the annihilation of Israel's national existence, is announced under the heading of multiculturalism and liberal values. The tactics are masterful. None other than V. I. Lenin wrote "The Book" on subversion of this sort over 100 years ago, in articles like "What is to be done?" Then Mao Tse-Tung rewrote it. These people have studied every page of those books. They added the "Look Legit" tactic of the USa Mafia."
The Committee for accuracy in the Middle East Reporting in america in their article "The anti-Iraq War Movement's anti-Israel aNSWER" provided interesting insight to some of issues. Following are excerpts from the article. "On Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. late last summer posters affixed to street light poles and utility boxes promoted a Sept. 24, 2005 anti-Iraq war rally." They carried three big, black headlines: "Stop the War in Iraq"; "End Colonialist Occupation from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti"; and "Support the Palestinian People's Right of Return."
"To understand those roots, one must consider the main organizers of the Sept. 24 rally, represented by a coalition calling itself United for Peace and Justice, and International act Now to Stop War and End Racism (aNSWER). according to Washington Times reporter James G. Lakely ("War protestors linked to radical left-wing groups," Sept. 22, 2005), UPJ was "founded by liberals who say they were concerned about the radical tactics and smorgasbord of issues trumpeted by aNSWER" in the latter's previous anti-war efforts."
Examples of aNSWER's involvement in the Palestinian issue include:
UPJ, which eventually tolerated "a big overlap" in the Sept. 24, 2005 protests and comprises many groups.
aNSWER was formed on Sept. 14, 2001; three days after al Qaeda terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 americans by flying two jetliners into New York City's World Trade Center, a third into the Pentagon in Washington, and crashing a fourth in rural Pennsylvania. Its 12-member organizational steering committee included the Free Palestine alliance, Muslim Student association of the U.S. and Canada, and the Middle East Children's alliance.
The alliance with the Illegal immigrants needs to be taken seriously.
In an article by Cinnamon Stillwell and Lee Kaplan on ChronWatch "a crowd of around 10,000 protesters gathered in San Francisco on Saturday, September 24, 2005 allegedly to express their displeasure with the war in Iraq. But it wasn't Iraq this rally was really about, but rather radical leftist and anarchist politics manifested by a hatred for america and Israel, and, of course, a chance to rail against the supposed evils of capitalism."
"This was fitting given the two main groups, International aNSWER and United for Peace and Justice (UPJ), that organized the event. For those in the know, those are front groups for communist/socialist organizations that promote the totalitarian and terrorist enemies of the United States. aNSWER has provided human shields to keep Saddam Hussein in power and has links to North Korea, Cuba, the PLO and its Ba'ath Party allies. The Leader of United for Peace and Justice is Leslie Cagan.
Cinnamon Stillwell and Lee Kaplan further writing in Front Page on September 27, 2005 "a Day at the Zoo" describes the Radical Left. "The radical Left is successful at organizing these events because they use "solidarity" to plan their desired revolution. There are divisions over how the immigrants, anarchists, Islamists and communists could join to mainstream pacifists, but the goal is the same to employ as (in Lenin's term) "useful idiots" in order to swell the ranks. Cinnamon Stillwell also wrote an excellent article on George Galloway and San Francisco on her website, "Mr. Galloway Goes to San Francisco." Politics makes strange bedfellows, stranger still, when the odd couple is the fundamentalist Islam and the secular Left."
The evolving Leftist/Marxist - Islamist alliance (Black-Red alliance) is growing in France, Germany and Belgium. But based on the successful British model, it is now going global to declare war on the "War on Terror."
These are among the organizations sponsoring and organizing the demonstrations for amnesty for Illegal immigrants. However, political dimensions seeking favor with the Hispanic vote may trump the reality of who is really behind the Illegal immigrant push for amnesty. When 500,000 Hispanics protest in Los angeles against making illegal entry a felony, the potential electoral consequences suggest themselves. Newsweek quotes Sen. Mel Martinez, R-FL, as saying, "Republicans have made significant gains [among Latinos] and we're risking all of that by allowing ourselves to be positioned as anti-immigrant...We are at great peril." Have the administration and Democrats failed to recognize the organizers (a.N.S.W.E.R) of the Los angeles protest are supporters of a New World Order.
