Letters & Politics - Ukrainian Socialist Zakhar Popovych on The War
, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbWW-0RvGsE . The first call in with
Mitch Jeserich and guest Ukrainian Socialist Zakhar Popovych , occurs
at the 13:04 mark , where an activist by the name of Mike from Oakland
, https://youtu.be/DbWW-0RvGsE?t=784 , starts by mentioning the (C)
ANSWER Coalition and Jeff Mackler , after saying that the news
division of KPFA had been reporting the War in a fashion little
different than CNN. On the Saturday previous , to this interview, Jeff
Mackler and co., had had a demo , which the caller claims was not
announced , beforehand . If memory serves , before the nightly news on
KPFA or KPFK and the other Pacifica stations, a "community calendar,"
which is about a minute long is aired.
https://web.archive.org/web/20220926224744/https://kpfa.org/events/category/community-calendar/
, indeed does not list it, but, as you can see , it lists few events ,
being somewhat selective , focusing on events that I betcha got a
couple hundred,
https://web.archive.org/web/20220921150853/https://kpfa.org/event/chris-hedges-the-greatest-evil-is-war/
, rather than the 70 claimed by Mike from Oakland for the ANSWER
Coalition demo on October 15th, a Saturday. I find no Tweets
documenting a rally on the 15th, in Oakland , but, I did find and
posted about on Partido on FB, clips from an anti-war rally at the
Oakland Federal Building , addressed by among others, Dr. Ryan Cotten

"anti-globalism," dog whistle,

and his affiliation with Caleb Maupin's CPI . The California United
Front https://twitter.com/CAUnitedFront/following , list is chock full
of LaRoucheites such as Maupin's BFF in NJ, Daniel Burke — Exonerate
LaRouche , https://twitter.com/Burke4Senate .

Digging a little deeper , here is that "70 person," rally on the 15th

Stalinist outfit the https://partyofcommunistsusa.net/ .

Only found this because , I was looking for where in Oakland, this
meeting noted by John Reimann was going to be. "(Here in Oakland, a
wing of that "left" is holding a meeting to discuss Aleksandr Dugin.
From the summary, it appears it will be friendly to that fascist. Why?
Because he opposes US imperialism!)" At
https://groups.io/g/marxmail/message/20301 . The Humanist Hall?
Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library? Not that I am going to hop in my car
and travel for 7 hours to go to a meeting to razz the fans of Dugin,
but, anyway...next time, please, john ,as you had 4 hyperlinks in your
post @ https://groups.io/g/marxmail/message/20301 , why didn't you
link to the summary of the meeting announcement , which I assume you
saw online, or note the name(s) of the sponsoring leftist
organizations and individuals holding that meeting to discuss Dugin?

Maybe not a Larouchite or a MAGA communist, but your Twitter links go to actions by the Center for Political Innovation. This is Caleb Maupin's organization. You might want to look into both some of his writings, and especially some of the allegations made towards Maupin.

Yup. I have watched his videos for years, as I am a Marxist Masochist
, and have posted on him at Leftist Trainspotters , more than a bit.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/612505825865407
. His books and essays , such as ,"Satan at the Fountainhead: The
Israel Lobby & The Financial Crisis," is ripped apart in this YouTube
video, "Reading Caleb Maupin's "Satan At The Fountainhead" with
Thoughtslime, We're In Hell & That Jess,"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYJxCtveP_M . "Fidel Castro Exposes
The Synthetic Left," by him and Fidel , looks like a real hoot ,
https://www.amazon.com/Fidel-Castro-Exposes-Synthetic-Left/dp/1678159379/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2IXRKF35J1S7P&keywords=caleb+maupin&qid=1668100380&sprefix=caleb+maupin+%2Caps%2C354&sr=8-3
. Fidel, btw, relied on LaRouche publications and Daniel Estulin ,
another far right "anti-globalist," kook for his articles on the
Bilderberg, https://www.liberationschool.org/10-09-01-daniel-estulin-phony-bilderberg-html/
. 'Synthetic Left," is one of Maupin's appropriations from the
LaRoucheites. https://lumpen.libsyn.com/the-synthetic-left-ft-caleb-maupin
, 'The "New Left" was Fake," on his YT,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTVrI6zkj5o . He claimed in a lecture
he gave to his CPI followers , that the sds had "millions of members."
A little learning is a dangerous thing. From his book case on his
videos , it is clear he has read quite a bit, having books on his
shelves which are excellent such as Alan Wald's book on the NY
Intellectuals, but, from when he was in the WWP to the present day,
but, he has not had the benefit of good mentors, early on, to curb his
lack of discernment overall.

He is very tight , personally with the LaRoucheite from NJ, Daniel
Burke, https://twitter.com/ZeppLaRouche/status/1552869559950086145?s=20&t=Sg58Hl_TdL5lqGumDFYNsw
. The book of his on how "Bread Tube Serves Imperialism," is a real
mess.

The allegations against Maupin ,were no surprise to me.

Caleb Maupin’s Former Comrades Speak Out, His Abuses Must Stop!

. Two former members of the SPUSA Local in L.A. who I know, were
active in Maupin's CPI , even attending the Chicago area convention
they had just prior to the implosion of the CPI. Painful to see
activists one knows get sucked up into his cult. He has resurfaced,
https://twitter.com/theserfstv/status/1589481628434563073?s=20&t=JKRFGAiRtO_Svbl3GsRcqQ
. On a FB Group called Cringe Leftist Spotting, which is devoted to
mocking some of the more absurd manifestations of activist leftism , I
posted in a comment thread a few days ago ,"FWIW , a comment thread ,
with some back story , from one of the Maupinites. "Just wanted to
dump the results of my own personal independent investigation into the
whole Caleb Maupin issue before the “comeback” later today, so that I
can say what I learned before official explanations from Maupin. This
is my personal conjecture and notes, as a CPI member."
https://twitter.com/CDMorlock/status/1589340492969693184?s=20&t=NE6xg_NZtNxdykrnT1uDJA
, with details I find less than credible such as,"(17) CPI had been
explanding (sic.) to nearly 1000 members with "chapters" in many major
America cities ," @
