iveseenitall:  yeah, I'm starting to go on like my father did, and I thought he was silly.  Now I'm doing it!  Witness is definitely on my "to read" list.  There is a wealth of info out there if only people would pay attention.  Gulag Archepelago.  The Black Book of Communism.  Frontpagemag has a wealth of info and reading lists on their site about modern ties to old and modern commie networks:  example:  Pamphlet:  Radical Road Maps: Uncovering the Web of Connections Among Far-Left Groups in America  :

As Byron York puts it, “More than a decade after the fall of the Soviet Union, and long after most Americans stopped worrying about the Red Menace,” a significant part of the movement that has risen up in opposition to war in Iraq is, in essence, a Communist front.5

This reflects the fact that some Islamic groups and their supporters have been working with various Communist-oriented groups over the past thirty years (my emphasis), as they share a common enemy—the United States.

This info ties in with the article by Lewis that I mentioned above, and another by Michael Geer, Osama Bin Marx and the Real Jihad:

...Communist agents teaching, propagandizing and twisting their dialectic in order to get Revolutionary Islam to fall in line with Communist long range goals. They're not called Revolutionary Guards by happy accident in Iran. Their penetration was nothing less than amazing, given that Communism is the zenith of scientific atheism. But communism tilled a fertile field in Islam to build up a terrifying cult to wage war upon us...today's radical Islamist is little more than the Left's next great act in their Death Cult. Even as they shout the name of their god, they are fodder for the Revolutionary Ethos begun by Communists nearly a century ago...I ask you to clearly recognize what is all around you. The shadow war is seeping into everything you hold dear. As Victor David Hanson said in Mexifornia:

" .. we have not yet experienced all the consequences of the big bang of multiculturalism, authoritarianism, Utopianism, and cultural relativism - isms that tell young people that facts, dates, people and hard data are either irrelevant, biased or simply not facts at all and that to question such dogma could be "racist" ... " [1]

And in Mexifornia the estimable Mr. Hanson points to but one of the thousands of heads on the hydra. Progressives, for instance. Anytime you read progressive know that you are dealing with the shadow war of revolutionary marxism (my emphasis). Even the Church is subsumed into this religion of revolutionary Marx through Liberation Theology.
This war is everywhere and in everything, like toxic clouds from Chernobyl. And you can see the fetid seeds of communism in every utterance of jihadists after you know his leaders were educated at the Sorbonne. 

More tie ins:  September 10, 2007, The 'Bin Trotsky' Video and the Jihadi Failure in Iraq, By Walid Phares.  Note the date.  Note that the date ties in with the newest revelation about the compromising of our intelligence of Qaeda networks on the internet.  What element of the shadow government leaked that tape before 9-11, thereby compromising that intelligence?  Now the CIA has begun putting out the story on FNC, and other stations I'm sure, that U.S. government intelligence is not compromised, this was just a private company that lost their keyway into the Qaeda nets.  OK.  But I digress:

[Bin Laden]...reciting recycled neo-Marxism of the kind usually generated at Berkeley, Columbia or the web sites of the anarchic and post-Soviet internationalists...

Phares is pointing out the marxist slant in this tape, although he seems to think that it is just an experiment due to the influence of Adam Gadahn.

Then there is an article from 11/26/2001, Postmodern Jihad:  What Osama bin Laden learned from the Left.  by Waller R. Newell:

...This vision of the postmodernist revolution went straight from Heidegger into the French postwar Left, especially the works of Jean-Paul Sartre, eager apologist for Stalinism and the Cultural Revolution in China. Sartre's protege , the Algerian writer Frantz Fanon, crystallized the Third World variant of postmodernist revolution in "The Wretched of the Earth" (1961). From there, it entered the world of Middle Eastern radicals. Many of the leaders of the Shiite revolution in Iran that deposed the modernizing shah and brought the Ayatollah Khomeini to power in 1979 had studied Fanon's brand of Marxism. Ali Shari'at, the Sorbonne-educated Iranian sociologist of religion considered by many the intellectual father of the Shiite revolution, translated "The Wretched of the Earth" and Sartre's "Being and Nothingness into Persian." The Iranian revolution was a synthesis of Islamic fundamentalism and European Third World socialism...MANY ELEMENTS in the ideology of al Qaeda--set forth most clearly in Osama bin Laden's 1996 "Declaration of War Against America"--derive from this same mix...According to Cairo journalist Issandr Elamsani, Arab leftist intellectuals still see the world very much in 1960s terms. "They are all ex-Sorbonne, old Marxists," he says, "who look at everything through a postcolonial prism." 

It is all out there and available, but unfortunately, it seems as if not very many are listening.  But we keep trying.    

"The future is not set.  There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."
