errorAn Enemy Within

FrontPageMagazine.com | September 19, 2001

REPRESENTATIVE BARBARA LEE, Democrat of Berkeley, was the only member of Congress who refused to defend her country under attack. The Los Angeles Times calls Barbara Lee a "liberal" and compares her to "anti-war" dissenters of the past, most notably Jeanette Rankin who cast the lone vote in the U.S. Congress against America?s entry into the Second World War and said after Pearl Harbor, "As a woman I can?t go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else." We are at war again, and it?s time to call things by their right names.

Barbara Lee is not an anti-war activist, she is an anti-American communist who supports America?s enemies and has actively collaborated with them in their war against America.

I met Barbara Lee when she was working in city politics in Oakland. I met her in the penthouse headquarters of Huey Newton, the infamous "Minister of Defense" for the Black Panther Party. Newton was a gangster at war with America and Barbara Lee was his undercover agent in local government.

Barbara Lee later became a staffer in the office of Democrat congressman Ron Dellums. In this capacity she committed an act of betrayal that I am unable to describe as treason only because she was never prosecuted for it. At the time, Ron Dellums was the head of the House Sub-committee on Military Installations. In this capacity, he had top security clearance and carried on a one-man campaign to thwart the foreign policy of the United States in regard to the Communist dictatorship of Grenada.

U.S. security officials had identified the Communist dictatorship as a threat because of the presence of large numbers of Soviet bloc advisers and their ongoing construction of an airport that could be used for Soviet military planes. As the ranking Democrat member of the House Armed Services Committee, Dellums went to Grenada to conduct his own fact-finding tour. On his return he testified before the House Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs that "based on my personal observations, discussion and analysis of the new international airport under construction in Grenada, it is my conclusion that this project is specifically now and has always been for the purpose of economic development and is not for military use?. It is my thought that it is absurd, patronizing and totally unwarranted for the United States Government to charge that this airport poses a military threat to the United States? national security."

What legislators did not know at the time was that Dellums had previously submitted his report on the airport to the Communist dictator of Grenada for his prior approval, and subject to any changes he or his military advisers chose to make. In other words, Dellums acted as an agent of the Communist enemy in abetting his hostile designs against the United States. His emissary in this act of betrayal was Barbara Lee.

We know this from government documents retrieved by US marines after Grenada was liberated by U.S. forces. One document was a love-letter from Dellums? chief of staff, Carlottia Scott (recent political issues director of the Demcoratic National Committee) to the Grenadian dictator himself, Maurice Bishop. In the letter Carlottia Scott wrote: "Ron [Dellums] has become truly committed to Grenada, and has some positive political thinking to share with you?. He?s really hooked on you and Grenada and doesn?t want anything to happen to building the Revolution and making it strong. He really admires you as a person and even more so as a leader with courage and foresight, principles and integrity?. The only other person that I know of that he expresses such admiration for is Fidel."

Another document liberated by the marines contained the minutes of a Politburo meeting attended by the Communist dictator and his military command. "Barbara Lee is here presently and has brought with her a report on the international airport that was done by Ron Dellums. They have requested that we look at the document and suggest any changes we deem necessary. They will be willing to make the changes."

If this is not treason, what is?

We should certainly see more Horowitz posts on the IMC. After all, he can't source his material either.

If this is not treason, what is?

And it is not. So What Is?

You, David.

Dear Fascist Author,

You can't be a communist, because that would imply that you're an intelligent and compassionate person; but you're none of that. Get a life scumbag. The anti-war demonstrations will go ahead with or without your perverse white house propaganda.

Joseph.

Barbara Lee is a great woman.

Barbara Lee has my respect, and is a great woman, or are you suggesting she should go along with the fascist bastards in Washington DC? Afterall, corporatism is fascism.

David Horowitz is a nut case racist misogynist fascist, who wants to be at the top of his rich white male controlled society at the expense of all people of color and working class and poor people. Stop attacking women of color, David HORRORwitz! I lived in Ron Dellums' and Barbara Lee's district and am proud to have supported these representatives who actually care about human lives more than money.

At least communists aren't spreading slander and lies!

Long live the Black Panthers! Thanks to them, we have head start programs, and many people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to survive were helped by them. And a whole new generation of people, including me, who were brought up at the time of Panther activism, learned that racism and hatred of people is wrong.
