[the CIA] manipulated the disinformation and propaganda to get north Vietnamese Catholics terrified of communists, the thousand pregnant women that were ripped open, they were Catholic pregnant women, so the Catholics fled south. There were no atrocities, there were no women ripped open, it was propaganda.

And we pumped just dozens of [false propaganda] stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists. In one case we had the Cuban rapists caught and tried by the maidens who had been their victims and then we ran photographs that made almost every newspaper in the country of the Cubans being executed by the women who supposedly had been their victims.

Interviewer: These were fake photos?

Oh absolutely, we didn't know of one single atrocity committed by the Cubans. It was pure raw false propaganda to to create a an illusion of communist you know eating babies for breakfast, totally false propaganda

McCarthyism Is Back: Together We Can Stop It

We stand together against the rise of a new McCarthyism that is targeting peace activists, critics of US foreign policy, and Chinese Americans. Despite increased intimidation, we remain steadfast in our mission to foster peace and international solidarity, countering the narrative of militarism, hostility, and fear.

As the US government grapples with a major crisis of legitimacy, it has grown fearful of young people becoming conscious and organized to change the world. Influential media outlets like The New York Times have joined right-wing extremists in using intimidation tactics to silence these advocates for change, affecting not only the left but everyone who supports free speech and democratic rights.

The political and media establishments, both liberal and conservative, have initiated McCarthy-like attacks against individuals and organizations criticizing US foreign policy, labeling peace advocates as “Chinese or foreign agents.” This campaign uses innuendo and witch hunts, posing a threat to free speech and the right to dissent. We must oppose this trend.

Scientists, researchers, and service members of Chinese descent have been falsely accused of espionage and unregistered foreign agency, often with cases later collapsing due to insufficient evidence. Similar to the old “Red Scare” and McCarthy periods, when scores of organizations and leaders like W.E.B Du Bois, Eugene Debs, Emma Goldman, Paul Robeson and Martin Luther King Jr and others were attacked with fact-less accusations, today, prominent organizations and individuals, including CODEPINK, The People’s Forum, and Tricontinental Institute have been targeted, with smears and accusations propagated by outlets like The New York Times.

Their strategy paints a sinister image of a secret network funding the peace movement. However, there’s nothing illegal or fringe about opposing a New Cold War or a “major power conflict” with China, views shared by hundreds of millions globally. Receiving donations from US citizens who share these views is not illicit.

Media outlets have tried to scandalize funding sources of several organizations that are on the frontlines working with anti-racist, feminist, anti-war, abolitionist, climate justice, and other movements throughout the United States and globally. Meanwhile, when white neoliberal philanthropists flood the non-profit complex with significant funds to support their political agendas this is rarely scrutinized or made accountable to the communities they impact.

From The New York Times to Fox News, there’s a resurgence of the Red Scare that once shattered many lives and threatened movements for change and social justice. This attack isn’t only on the left but against everyone who exercises their free speech and democratic rights. We must firmly resist this racist, anti-communist witch hunt and remain committed to building an international peace movement. In the face of adversity, we say NO to xenophobic witch hunts and YES to peace.

Why did the National Socialists consider the Sioux as Aryan? (Part IV [Preceding Here])

There is also no doubt that racial, moral and cultural reasons, although perhaps most important, were not the only ones for which the National Socialists saw the Sioux as Aryans. Undoubtedly, political and propaganda motives, about which F. Usbeck writes, were also at stake. Labeling the Sioux and Mexicans as Aryans was obviously intended to ensure friendly relations between these peoples and the German Reich, which was important in view of the anticipated conflict with the United States. In 1942, German propaganda predicted that there would soon be an Indian uprising in the United States and that the Indians would not fight alongside the Americans on the fronts of World War II. Joseph Goebbels was convinced that the Indians would never stand alongside their oppressors, from whom they had suffered so much harm over the centuries. As Timothy C. Downing emphasizes, the Germans also spent a considerable amount of their time and money trying to win the support of the Indians for the cause they fought for, and even promised to return the expropriated land to the Native Americans after winning the war.

These actions had some effect. The American Indian Federation (AIF), one of the largest political Indian organizations in the 1930s, was openly pro-German and anti-Jewish, and its members strongly criticized President Roosevelt's New Deal policy. Prominent members of this organization, such as Elwood A. Towner, an attorney from Portland and the leader of the Hupa Indians, incorporated the symbolism and ideology of National Socialism into their political agitation. In his speeches, he always appeared to the public wearing a traditional Indian costume with a swastika band, which he compared to the ancient symbol of the Indians - the Thunderbird. In his July 9, 1939 speech, Towner accused the Jews, whom he described as "chuck-na-gin", which in Indian language meant "children of Satan". He claimed that the Indians had to unite with good Christians in order to fight the Communist bug-infested administration of President Roosevelt, which he described as "evil forces". He told his listeners that the American government was under Jewish control and that President Roosevelt himself was a crypto-Jew who was in fact supposed to be called Rosenfelt. He concluded by saying that it would be a wise decision for the Native Americans to accept the ideals of National Socialism.
