Reader Joel Nickerson has started

Reader Joel Nickerson has started us on a quest to learn more about A.N.S.W.E.R., the Communist front organization that ran last weekend’s anti-American demonstrations. As we indicated over the weekend, A.N.S.W.E.R. is a front for the Workers World Party, and its leaders are WWP members whose own words, as quoted on the WWP website, show that they are hard-core Marxist-Leninists. Joel points out that A.N.S.W.E.R. itself is not registered as a 501(c)(3) corporation. It raises money through a front called the Peoples Rights Fund–which has the same address and telephone number as A.N.S.W.E.R. The PRF appears to be A.N.S.W.E.R.’s main means of support, and the PRF’s money comes chiefly from a handful of unknown donors. The directors of PRF are, however, identified on that entity’s tax returns, and we have begun to investigate them. The results so far are…..curious. Stay tuned.
