SEIU’s Full Frontal Communism

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

I believe about a year ago, NoisyRoom and numerous other blogs, researchers and pundits began to warn Americans that there would come a day in the near future that Marxists and Communists would take off their masks and proudly proclaim their ideals. That they would no longer fear the American public as they would feel that they were unstoppable – far too powerful to be stopped in their quest for political power and domination. Sadly, that day has arrived. Yes, indeed… This is what democracy looks like.

Witness SEIU‘s full frontal communism on display at the May Day Rally in Los Angeles. The event was sponsored by SEIU and a cabal of Communist allies, who have gleefully aligned and are celebrating the demise and fall of the Republic. Marching in militant lockstep, SEIU proudly waved Communist flags and Communists in turn brandished union signs. They were one – comrades indistinguishable from one another. Finally honest in intention and in evil agenda.

Make no mistake, Obama and his minions are bought and paid for by the unions. You do know that virtually every candidate the unions fund is a Democrat and this is not coincidence, right? The Democrat Party has been infiltrated and is now controlled by not only leftists, progressives and Marxists – but by full fledged Communists. Following that logic, we truly do have a Communist in the White House. SEIU donated over $28 million to Obama‘s campaign and SEIU has called in their marker. Also collecting their dues at this rally was the AFL-CIO – Richard Trumka‘s fascists. And all of these Communists are targeting the young; bringing them into the red fold and organizing them. Give me the youth and I will rule the world…

Zombie has a sobering post up at Pajamas Media spotlighting photography of the May Day Rally by Ringo, who is a world class photographer. This is a post each and every American who believes in our Republic should read and gaze upon. We are at war and unless we step up and find our true roots as a free country as per our founding fathers, we will lose and a fascist dictatorship will descend over America. The dark veil of fascism may engulf us regardless, but we will have to decide where we will stand, where we will fight, what we are willing to die for… As for me, give me liberty or give me death.

Hezbollah in Mexico

From the San Diego News:

A terrorist organization whose home base is in the Middle East has established another home base across the border in Mexico.

“They are recognized by many experts as the ‘A’ team of Muslim terrorist organizations,” a former U.S. intelligence agent told 10News.

The former agent, referring to Shi’a Muslim terrorist group Hezbollah, added, “They certainly have had successes in big-ticket bombings.”..

“We are looking at 15 or 20 years that Hezbollah has been setting up shop in Mexico,” the agent told 10News.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, U.S. policy has focused on al-Qaida and its offshoots.

“They are more shooters than thinkers … it’s a lot of muscles, courage, desire but not a lot of training,” the agent said, referring to al-Qaida.

Hezbollah, he said, is far more advanced.

“Their operators are far more skilled … they are the equals of Russians, Chinese or Cubans,” he said. “I consider Hezbollah much more dangerous in that sense because of strategic thinking; they think more long-term.”

Hezbolah has operated in South America for decades and then Central America, along with their sometime rival, sometime ally Hamas.

Now, the group is blending into Shi’a Muslim communities in Mexico, including Tijuana. Other pockets along the U.S.-Mexico border region remain largely unidentified as U.S. intelligence agencies are focused on the drug trade.

“They have had clandestine training in how to live in foreign hostile territories,” the agent said.

The agent, who has spent years deep undercover in Mexico, said Hezbollah is partnering with drug organizations, but which ones is not clear at this time.

He told 10News the group receives cartel cash and protection in exchange for Hezbollah expertise.

“From money laundering to firearms training and explosives training,” the agent said.

For example, he tracked, along with Mexican intelligence, two Hezbollah operatives in safe houses in Tijuana and Durango

“I confirmed the participation of cartel members as well as other Hezbollah individuals living and operating out of there,” he said…

Why have Americans not heard more about Hezbollah’s activities happening so close to the border?

“If they really wanted to start blowing stuff up, they could do it,” the agent said.

According to the agent, the organization sees the U.S. as their “cash cow,” with illegal drug and immigration operations. Many senior Hezbollah leaders are wealthy businessmen, the agent said.

“The money they are sending back to Lebanon is too important right now to jeopardize those operations,” he said.

The agent said the real concern is the group’s long-term goal of radicalizing Muslim communities.

“They’re focusing on developing … infiltrating communities within North America,” the agent told 10News.

America is lucky the Obama Administration takes border security so seriously.

Red Reps 9: California’s Socialist Assembly Member, Gil Cedillo

Red Reps 8 here.

Gilbert Cedillo

Gil Cedillo is undoubtedly one of California’s most radical legislators, both in the State Senate and now as an Assembly member, representing the 45th District (Los Angeles).

Cedillo has championed drivers licenses for illegal aliens and has twice (2006,2011) introduced a version of the DREAM Act into California State Assembly. The proposed law would grant qualifying undocumented college students access to institutional financial aid and Cal Grants from the University of California, California State University and Community Colleges.

Cedillo announced the introduction of the California Dream Act with a “coalition of business, education and labor leaders” including, Javier Nunez, President, Executive Board, Laborers International Union, Local 300, socialist affiliated Kent Wong, Director, UCLA Labor Center, the National Council of La Raza, Nancy Ramirez, Western Regional Counsel, MALDEF and David Huerta, Regional Vice President, SEIU United Service Workers West.

Through his ties with labor unions and community organizations, Cedillo actively organized an opposition campaign to Proposition 187, California’s 1994 initiative to ban public benefits such as health care and education to undocumented immigrants. His efforts culminated in a 150,000-person march, one of the largest mass marches in the history of Los Angeles.

Cedillo was also candidate for California’s 32nd Congressional district seat, vacated by fellow socialist Hilda Solis. California’s 32nd Congressional District Special Election, 2009, was held on May 19, 2009. Cedillo lost the Democratic primary against Board of Equalization Member and another far leftist, Judy Chu .

For many years Cedillo has been a close friend and political ally of Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who he has known since high school.

Through an Upward Bound program, Cedillo was accepted at UCLA. Villaraigosa went to East Los Angeles College and then transferred to UCLA. The friends both became active in Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan or MEChA, a radical Chicano separatist group with a strong Marxist-Leninist underpinning.

Both attended the Peoples College of Law, a night school dedicated to producing public-interest lawyers. Peoples College of Law was founded in 1974 by the Asian Law Collective, the La Raza National Lawyers Association and the communist affiliated National Conference of Black Lawyers and the National Lawyers Guild.

Villaraigosa and Cedillo also became deeply involved in Centros de Accion Social Autonomo, an immigrant’s-rights organization led by the Mexican-American Communist Party USA leader Burt Corona.

Villaraigosa and Cedillo and worked on the C.A.S.A. newspaper, Sín Fronteras. “At CASA, we wanted to organize the undocumented into unions, instead of seeing them as a threat,” Cedillo said

Cedillo served as General Manager of the Service Employees International Union, Local 660, from 1991 to 1996, Los Angeles County’s largest union representing nearly 50,000 workers. As General Manager, he led the “Rolling Thunder” campaign, a series of one-day strikes throughout Los Angeles County, in a “monumental struggle” to preserve jobs and benefits, and prevent the dismantling of the county’s public health system. Cedillo’s campaign was credited with securing $364 million in federal assistance.

In June 1996 the Communist Party USA paper People’s Weekly World held a tribute event in Los Angeles for unionists Jerry Acosta and Gil Cedillo.

The Southern California Friends of the People’s Weekly World tribute to two of Los Angeles’ finest labor leaders, Jerry Acosta and Gilbert Cedillo, became a dynamic rally of elected officials, activists, labor and community leaders in solidarity with labor struggles and in the fight to defeat the ultra-right in November…

“The People’s Weekly World and all of us in this room feel very strongly about who we honor today,” said Evelina Alarcon, chair of the Southern California District and national secretary of the Communist Party USA, one of the emcees of the tribute. “Jerry Acosta and Gilbert Cedillo represent the new fightback vision of the Sweeney, Trumka, Chavez-Thompson leadership in the AFL-CIO. They represent the rank and file that is pushing from the bottom for that new vision!”

According to the World, Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon, brother of Southern California Communist Party leader Evelina Alarcon, spoke on behalf of the council which adopted a resolution honoring Acosta and Cedillo:

“Gil Cedillo and Jerry Acosta have changed the whole dynamic of what it means to be for the working class and what it means to fight for workers rights. Because of them and other labor leaders, we have seen a resurgence of strength of the least empowered in our country…”

Presentations to the honorees were also made by Clara James, chair of the Community Affairs Commission of the Second Baptist Church, on behalf of Congresswoman Maxine Waters and Antonio Aguilar, on behalf of State Senator Hilda Solis.

In June 2008, the Socialist International Migrations Committee held a Migrations Reform, Integration, Rights forum in Los Angeles.

Democratic Socialists of America, the US’s largest Marxist organization and the SI’s main U.S. affiliate, was represented by D.S.A. National Director Frank Llewellyn, plus Duane Campbell and Dolores Delgado Campbell of D.S.A.’s Anti-Racism and Latino networks.

California State Senator Gil Cedillo, was also in attendance

In January 2008, California State Senator Gil Cedillo, and former state Democratic Senator Martha Escutia of Los Angeles, were two of the first prominent Latino politicians in Southern California to endorse Illinois Senator Barack Obama. Most local Latino politicians then favored Hillary Rodham Clinton, including Cedillo’s old friend Antonio Villaraigosa, who served as Clinton’s national campaign chair.

Cedillo’s backing was influential in turning the Latino tide Obama’s way. Cedillo worked closely with Latinos for Obama, which was led by Democratic Socialists of America member Jose LaLuz.

Just another cheeky little California Red.
