Oswald's Nazi Tricks

HIS WAS THE MESSAGE of a de facto Trotskyist, whether he knew it or not. I was (and am) an adherent of Leon Trotsky's pro-Lenin, anti-Stalin ideology. Castro's words starkly illumined the Trotskyist concept of Permanent Revolution - the chain reaction between advanced and colonial countries - like nothing I had experienced since, after breaking with Stalin, Tito sent a freighter to New York to bring hundreds of sympathizers to Yugoslavia to join labor brigades. I was all set to be part of that adventure when the hateful State Department refused to let anyone board the ship.

"The media moguls are not anxious to call attention to the vast conspiracy that cozily interlocked J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI, the CIA, the Mafia, the southern Bourbons, and ... other unsavory men... Oswald pulled a typical Nazi-style trick after his arrest: he screamed for legal defense from the ACLU and announced that ... he had been the New Orleans chairman of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee...

"The Seattle press, as well as the cops, duly pounced on the Seattle head of the committee, who just happened to be me.

"...I should have been scared, but I was too indignant... So I sounded off to police, to reporters, to busybodies.

"Never heard of Oswald, I said; we never even had a New Orleans branch. Oswald was trying to pin the blame on Fidel, I said, when in fact his bosses were out to get Fidel."

By being "ex leftists" many American right wingers see them as Marxists, but they are not, just as Obama is not a "leftist" or even a liberal. Almost 4 years after he was sworn in as President I still see as of last week two rightwing sites Rense & Alex Jones call Obama Rense " a Marxist " and Jones chatting with Tarpley called Obama and his administration "Communist"----OMG 1984 is here.
