Madison, Wisconsin – a “hotbed” of phony “radicalism”...
Self-proclaimed “communists,” “revolutionaries” etc. were not a rarity in Madison. What soon became evident is that when it came to practical political work – for instance, organizing against the War in Vietnam which was raging at the time – these “radicals” by and large were nowhere to be seen.
It has been possible to follow up on some of these “r-r-r-revolutionaries.” The astute reader will note that their fortunes markedly differ from mine and that none of them were forced out of the US by the American Gestapo.
The “Communist Party” in Madison...
There were repeated rumors of a Madison club of the Communist Party USA, although I was never asked to join it. Word was that it was headed by Gene Dennis, whom I knew as a (deliberately) lazy and incompetent do-nothing. Strange, I thought at the time, as his late father and namesake had been head of CP USA: “Eugene Dennis became General Secretary of the Communist Party USA after the expulsion of Earl Browder and was a staunch supporter of the Moscow line.” (Eugene Dennis, Wikipedia)
“Eugene Dennis Jr., son of the former general secretary in the American Communist Party, was a longshoreman* for many years and is now a historian.” (‘Red Diaper Babies’ - Children of Communists, AP, May. 23, 1989)
Eugene Dennis, father and son, were/are stooges of the US secret political police.
Another reputed Madison “communist” was another deadbeat, Donald Bluestone:
“The new organization... was named the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs of America and would serve as the youth wing of the Communist Party USA. Those who signed the 'call'... included Don Bluestone, an Associate Editor of Sanity, Madison, Wisconsin.” (KeyWiki)
Bluestone later obtained a teaching position at Roosevelt University in Chicao, Ill. (A Life's Mosaic: The Autobiography of Phyllis Ntantal)
Yet another known campus “leftist” and reputed Madison “communist” was Jim Hawley. Who also has gone on to bigger and better things: “James P. Hawley is Professor, School of Economics and Business Administration, and Director of the Elfenworks Center for the Study of Fiduciary Capitalism at Saint Mary’s College. He has held the rotating endowed chair, Transamerica Professor of Business Policy and Strategy, two times. He is the author of two books, the first on international banks and the global monetary system, and (as a co-author with Professor Andrew T. Williams) on U.S. pension funds and the ownership of U.S. corporations...” (Network for Sustainable Financial Markets, 2017)
Among other fake Madison “leftists” at the time...
Frank Emspak, the son of the late Julius Emspak, former secretary-treasurer of the “leftist” United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers (UE) of America. “Frank, a retired labor professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, originally founded the WIN program as a project of the University’s School of Workers.” (laborpress.org/workers-independent-news-off-the-air)
Clark Kissinger retains his FBI-authorized pseudo-left bona fides:
“C. Clark Kissinger (born 1940) was the National Secretary of Students for a Democratic Society in 1964-65. He visited the People's Republic of China twice during the Cultural Revolution, and is a devoted Maoist...
“In 1968, the Chicago Peace Council hired Kissinger to organize a march against the Vietnam War on April 27. Later in the year, he helped organize demonstrations against the Democratic Party National Convention, and testified at the trial of the Chicago Seven.
“In the early 1970s, Kissinger was a founder and national officer of the US China Peoples Friendship Association.
“In 2002, Kissinger was the coordinator of the Not In Our Name statement of conscience against the impending war on Iraq... Subsequently, he was also the convener of the International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration. When the commission released its findings, he was quoted as saying 'We want this to be a step in the building of mass resistance to war, to torture, to the destruction of the earth.' **
“Kissinger is currently the manager of Revolution Books in New York City.” (C. Clark Kissinger, Wikipedia)
Kissinger's “radicalism” falls into the realm of FBI-organized “movements,” that we have discussed previously (Part 10 of this series):
“It is far, far, far better for the reactionary US (and not only the US!) ruling class to organize a manifold variety of fake movements which the secret political police entirely control. A great deal of noise and 'furor' can be generated, but nothing permanent or meaningful develops. And the 'movements' can be turned off when needed.
“Secondly, such massive fakery serves to entrap unsuspecting honest activists, who find themselves not among comrades-in-struggle, but among disguised enemy...
“Moreover, a plethora of false 'peoples' or 'progressive' or 'communist' organizations and movements give the abjectly phony perception of the United States of America as a 'democracy.'”

* Dennis, Jr. was a member of the reputedly “leftist” International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU). San Francisco Bay Area ILWU locals 6 and 10 became a repository for many FBI stooges like Dennis, who are/were guaranteed receiving higher than average wages in ILWU-organized enterprises. Among other such finks were “communists” Archie Brown, Franklin Alexander, Frank Wilkinson's son Tony...
As I noted previously: “... some millions of collaborators... operate on-call, on a part-time basis. These people have their own, everyday non-political work and only participate now-and-then 'as required' – to attend meetings and demonstrations, to join parties and organizations and to 'espouse' the views that they falsely 'support'... For these 'part-timers'... the US secret political police intefere in the very process of American economic and professional life to provide their collaborators with an improved station in society.” (Dictatorship USA – Part 9)
** Naturally, no such “mass resistance” came into existence in the United States.

Правительство США жестоко нарушало мои права человека при проведении кампании террора, которая заставила меня покинуть свою родину и получить политическое убежище в СССР. См. книгу «Безмолвный террор — История политических гонений на семью в США» - "Silent Terror: One family's history of political persecution in the United States» - arnoldlockshin.wordpress.com
Правительство США еще нарушает мои права, в течении 14 лет отказывается от выплаты причитающейся мне пенсии по старости. Властители США воруют пенсию!!
ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России - вслед за позорным, предавшим страну предшественником КГБ, мерзко выполняет приказы секретного, кровавого хозяина (boss) - американского ЦРУ (CIA). Среди таких «задач» - мне запретить выступать в СМИ и не пропускать большинства отправленных мне комментариев. А это далеко не всё...
