> Hi All,
> I have a copy of the declassified FBI documents that tie the
> Clintons and many of their administration to a communist
> organization called the Institute For Policy Studies.  In
> all there are more than 50 pages to this document file, so
> I'll do a summary.  It may take a few notes:
>
> The Institute For Policy Studies was formed in 1963 by Peter
> Weiss and Cora Rubin, daughter of Samuel Rubin.  The
> organization is funded by the Samuel Rubin Foundation.
>
> Samuel Rubin was a member of the Comintern of the -------->
> Communist Party, which was the inner circle of Lenin, and
> helped foment the Russian peasants into revolt in 1917.  He
> left Russia at some point during the revolution, and came to
> the U.S., where he made a fortune using the name, "Faberge",
> for his cosmetic company.  The Faberge family, who were
> "White Russian" (non-communist), and who also fled Russia,
> sued Rubin for using their name for a company whose profits
> supported the spread of communism, and won a settlement.
> Rubin was assisted in his financial endeavors by billionaire
> Armand Hammer.  Hammer has long been suspected of being a
> member of the Communist Party.  After the downfall of the
> USSR, the KGB files were opened and Hammer's membership in->
> the Communist Party was proven.  The Soviet publication,
> Izvestia, confirms that Armand Hammer was a Soviet agent,
> who personally carried the money from Lenin to the United
> States to establish the Communist Party USA.
>
> Back to the Institute For Policy Studies (IPS).  The FBI has
> compiled 2705 pages of documents on this organization, 1743
> of which are available to the public through the Freedom of
> Information Act.  The FBI has withheld 962 pages of
> documents, and one of the reasons given is, "specifically
> authorized by an Executive (Presidential) Order to be kept
> secret in the interest of national defense."  Another ----->
> reason for withholding the 962 documents was given as
> follows...."Records or information were compiled for law
> enforcement purposes and could reasonably be expected to
> disclose the identity of a confidential source."
>
> "The IPS is described as a Washinton-based "Think Factory",
> which helped train extremist who incite violence in the
> United States and whose wducational research serves as a
> cover for intrigue and political agitation" (FBI file
> 175-398).  Another description given is that the "IPS
> apparently exercises considerable influence in the New Left
> Movement and may have as its goal the destruction of the--->
> United States Government/"  Mainstream media, usually very
> liberal, has described the IPS as follows:  Wall Street
> Journal..."A funnel for disinformation", Forbes...."A
> radical Washington propaganda mill", National Review..."The
> perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would
> be resisted if they were to originate openly from the KGB."
>
> DEREK SHEARER, a member of IPS, has been described as one of
> Bill Clinton's closest friends.  Roger Altman (former Sec.
> of Treasury) stated, "Derek is a very old and close friend
> of Bill Clinton's, and among the advisors he is probably the
> oldest and closest friend."  George Stephanopolis --------->
> describes Shearer as both "a friend and advisor".  Derek
> Shearer is the step-brother of Strobe Talbott, who was the
> former editor of TIME magazine, and Bill Clinton's roommate
> at Oxford.  Derek's sister, Brooke Shearer, is a very close
> friend of Hillary Clinton, and is her frequent travelling
> companion.  Prior to the 1992 election, Clinton appointed
> Shearer as his top economic advisor (Wall Street Journal -
> Sept. 11, 1992).

> In 1980, Shearer wrote a book titled, "Economic Democracy:
> The Challange of the 1980's", in which he explained,
> "Socialism has a bad name in America and no amount of
> wishful thinking is going to change that.....the words,
> economic democracy are an adequate replacement."  Shearer
> proposed the economic dismantling of American's free
> enterprise system and that all businesses be controlled by
> government socialist planners.  Shearer states that his
> 'economic democracy' is fashioned in part according to the->
> teachings of Antonio Gramsci, founder of the Italian
> Communist Party, and one of this century's formost Marxist
> theoreticians (from Shearer's book).  In the 1970's Derek
> Shearer created and ran the platform of Tom Hayden in Santa
> Monica, California.  The platform was called the Campaign
> for Economic Democracy.  Shearer's wife was elected mayor of
> Santa Monica, and she appointed Derek and fellow activists
> to the City Commission.  Shearer's anti-business edicts
> crippled Santa Monica's economy and earned that city the
> nickname of the "Peoples Republic of Santa Monica."  Shearer
> has spoken of a plan to elect a socialist minded President
> who would help advance his Economic Democracy program ----->
> (National Review, Sept. 14, 1992).
>
> STROBE TALBOTT, as mentioned above, is the step-brother of
> Derek Shearer, and formerly an editor of TIME magazine, and
> earlier a roommate of Bill Clinton's at Oxford.  Talbott is
> a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).  Since
> it's founding in 1921, the CFR has been dedicated to forming
> a socialist world government under the auspices of the U.N.
> Other members of the CFR, include IPS co-founder, Richard
> Barnet, and Cora Rubin (dau. of Samuel Rubin), Bill Clinton,
> Al Gore, and most of Clinton's cabinet.
>                                                  --------->
> LEON PANETTA, LES ASPIN, and ANTHONY LAKE are all members of
> the IPS, with Anthony Lake serving in the capacity of
> instructor at the Washington-based school.  All three are
> CFR members as well.
>
> MORTON HALPRIN, a member of IPS, was considered (but
> rejected) as Assistant Secretary of Defense under Aspin.
> Halprin has been one of the foremost supporters of turning
> U.S. troops over to the U.N. command.  Halprin was a friend
> and assistant of Frank Donner, a member of the Communist
> Party USA, who advocated the dissolution of all U.S.
> intelligence agencies.                           --------->
> EDWARD F. FEIGHAN (D-Ohio, retired) was Bill Clinton's
> campaign Communications Director.  Feighan has worked
> closely with both the IPS and the North American Congress on
> Latin America (NACLA), which was co-founded by Jahn Gerassi
> and Michael Locker of Castro's Venceremos Brigade (FBI File
> SF 100-66966 AIRTEL & FBI file NYFO #105-86160).  NACLA
> recieved major funding from IPS, and has become a direct
> support group for Marxist insurgencies worldwide.
>
> JOHNETTA COLE is closely associated with IPS and other
> anti-American groups.  Cole was in a leadership role in the
> Pro-Castro Vencenemos Brigade, which was controlled by the->
> Communist Party USA in conjunction with Havana.  She was a
> founding sponsor of the U.S. Peace Council, a Communist
> Party USA front organization.

> HILLARY CLINTON first had contact with the IPS while at

> In addition, Hillary Clinton gave money money to

> Hillary gave $5000.00 to the Committee in Support of the
