Plugs’ running mate may be KGB/Cuban-Intelligence Founded Venceremos Brigade agent
[Townhall] "In the mid-1970s, California Congresswoman Karen Bass, who is now under consideration to be Joe Biden’s running mate, was an organizer for the Venceremos Brigade... An event blurb in an October 1975 issue of the communist Daily World newspaper describes Bass, then 22, as "leader of the Venceremos Brigade in southern California....As a ’brigadista’ and then organizer for the Venceremos Brigades, Karen visited Cuba every 6 months." (Tablet magazine, 7/28.)

In that heady Age of Aquarius hundreds of starry-eyed college kids were volunteering to "help build Cuban Socialism" and "fight U.S. Imperialism," mostly by joyfully cutting Cuban sugar cane and raptly imbibing communist propaganda lectures while seated in front of large pics of Che Guevara and "Uncle" Ho Chi Minh.

In fact, the terrorist offshoot from the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) known as The Weathermen and staffed most famously by Barack Obama’s future "neighbors" Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn served as the DGI’s (Cuban Intelligence) U.S. recruitment officers at the time, which proved easy. Castro’s DGI and their KGB masters had other goals in mind, as we’ll see in a minute.

Okay, that Karen Bass was a very enthusiastic and active Venceremos Brigadista, we’ve already established. But was there more to these Venceremos Brigades? Perhaps a declassified FBI report (from well before the bureau was run by people by Comey, I might add) might help:

#2 Well, if she's run by KGB, we can expect her to be a lot more normal than other "African-American" candidates.

#6 Plugs will feel more comfortable with a communist as a running mate. He had eight years of it beginning in 2008 as I recall. An old habits... sort of thing.

#7 If Bass is THE choice and with a view "after Trump" or of 2024, then the Dems are absolutely royally truly f'ed up beyond belief.

#11 So it seems aside from narrowing down the selection to COLOR (racist) and SEX (sexist). Biden's handlers are now even looking at Socialist-Communists Black Females as a running mate.

#13 Don't fool yourself into thinking that Mista Plugz has any say in the matter. His handlers are making the decision. They need a pliable choice that they can control as easily. This one won't survive the vetting. If they hated Bernie, they won't go for this one. Susan Rice is the likely pick IMHO. Anybody except Mooshell O. would be OK. She's the pick that I would worry about even though she says she doesn't want the job..heard that excuse before.

#14 Nice choices. A commie symp. A whore. A fake injun & serial liar. A moronic psycho-b!tch. An unindicted co-conspirator to destroy the Constitution and overthrow an elected president.
And a Wakanda-Wookie. Happy days!

#17 Don't the Democrats have any normal people they can run? I'd like to at least pretend there is a choice.

#18 /\ Normal? The Bill Clinton Centrist Coalition was purged during the Bush years. Now it is Leftists, Far Leftists and Anarchists / Communists.

#19 Batista was not a popular leader with the Cuba people and he was also feared. He was a crook and a gangster. He created an atmoshere that was friendly to the American mafia. It was not uncommon to find bodies dumped in the streets who were Batista's enemies. What replaced Batista was worse than Batista. Batista fled Cuba during the Cuban revolution with an amassed fortune. The Castro brothers, Che and others came into power. They proceeded to get rid of enemies and suspected enemies before firing squads and by other means. Castro was far worse than Batista which is not saying much. They went about exporting their revolution into Africa and South and Central America.
