2006-01-30 Fifth Column

4 generations of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) activists are working to link the local chapters that have sprung up independently since the Iraq War began into a national organization.

"Independently" my arse. Somebody must be pouring lots of dough into reviving the SDS® brand. Let's follow the money, shall we?

yes - it should prove particularly interesting in this election year and the runup to 2008

Start with Medea Benjamin and peek into the Tides Foundation ...

SDS founder Alan Haber likes to say he is "waiting for the next meeting of SDS". He won't have to wait long...the next SDS national conference, the first since 1969, is planned for this summer.

Guest starring the Cindy Sheehan Revue, no doubt.

Several chapters of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) announced today, Monday, January 16, 2006, their intent to form a national organization and hold the first SDS national convention since 1969. "It seemed appropriate to make this announcement today, on the observed Martin Luther King day", said SDS regional organizer Thomas Good. "We have an anti-war movement that is addressing the issue of stopping the bloodletting in Iraq but the civil rights issue remains unaddressed", he added. The national convention is scheduled for Summer 2006 and will be preceeded by a series of regional conferences occurring on the Memorial Day weekend...

#1 OMFG, do these people have no new ideas whatsoever?

Ya know, in some ways the antiwar left reminds of those japaneese soldiers left in isolated outposts after WW II. They are so defined by what they were, that to give up would leave them with no point or purpose whatsoever.

I wonder who's paying for this, now that the Soviet Union is history.

#2 Well, the origin of the SDS was at a conference financed by the United Auto Workers. This incarnation probably has some DNC money behind it.

#3 Names of the older ones please.

BTW... in the Viet period the ruskies gave them 13 billion. They gave 1/2 bill to the Weather Underground to get lost. The rest was supposed to be spent buying land for the PC-Correct Peasants in the Rocky Mountains so they could have land owning peasant supporters and be of the people at a later date. This didn't happen so somebody(ies) got the money.. accountant time...

#4 The Soviet Union went bankrupt & out of business a while ago, but the KGB didn't, i.e. look who's in charge of Russia now. After 1989 the USA had a large group of unemployed radicals whose god had died, and Russia, its unemployed spies and subsersives. Combine that with Wahhabi money, and you have many of the key ingredients to today's world.

#6 Also see the excellent article "Rosenberg Reruns". The physical and spiritual descendants of Soviet spies executed in 1953 have taken their show on the road, appearing with celebrities such as Harry Belafonte.

#12 The best and only hope is for nature to take its course: DEATH by natural (or in the case of many of these hippies, massive narcotics use that results in death by unnatural) causes.

Problem: I'm only about 12 years younger than these asshats, so as they die off ... guess who's next in line.

#13 This is almost as pathetic as the Rolling Stones latest concert tour.

#14 TAF, so long as you don't follow them in their indulgences, there's no reason you'd follow them in their timing.
