Enforce the Communist Control Act
By Cliff Kincaid
June 13, 2025
Have you noticed that the crowds protesting ICE tend to be full of “reporters” and “journalists.” A CNN reporter and his camera crew were detained by Los Angeles police while “covering” the protests.
Congressional hearings are being held into “Biden’s Cognitive Decline” when the cover-ups and lies by the media are far more serious. They lied about Biden and then tried to profit from their cover-ups through book deals. As someone involved in media criticism for more than four decades, first with the media watchdog Accuracy in Media, I can safely say the media’s conduct has gotten far worse over the years.
What is the solution? To take a current example, the FBI must understand that what is behind the LA riots — and before that, the George Floyd riots – is a network of communist groups that will exploit any cause for the purpose of destabilizing the United States. The media try to obscure these facts.
A law intended to jail subversives, the Communist Control Act, is on the books (50 U.S. Code § 841). The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi can enforce it, leading to mass incarceration of identified communists.
The role of one communist group, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), is apparent for all Americans to see, as their banners and signs carry their names and are being mass produced and seen on television. Members of communist groups have been involved in firebombing Tesla dealerships and assassinating the two Israeli embassy staffers on the streets of Washington, D.C.
Regarding the media, consider the outlet Bloomberg, financed by the billionaire Democrat who ran for president, Michael Bloomberg, which has covered the LA riots by insisting there were only “skirmishes” with police and that protesters only threw “bottles.” The coverage is ridiculous to those with a casual familiarity with the video of the riots.
Bloomberg is a Democrat “oligarch” who just endorsed Andrew Cuomo for Mayor of New York City, an incredible development considering that, as governor, Cuomo spread the China virus, COVID-19, into nursing homes, killing old people. Cuomo resigned as governor after being accused of sexual harassment.
Bloomberg reporters are not permitted to criticize Democrat politicians. Hence, they are a major part of the problem, just like CNN.
By contrast, over at MSNBC, a liberal outlet, I was surprised to read that a columnist by the name of Anthony L. Fisher acknowledged “a tiny but disproportionately destructive element of the L.A. protests” consisting of “masked vigilantes beating driverless Waymo cars with their skateboards before setting them ablaze.” He also acknowledged the “looting of shoe stores, cannabis dispensaries and an Apple store — among other places of business.” He called these “acts of cowardly and nihilistic violence” and tried to blame them on Trump, a bizarre claim.
While admitting the reality of the violence and recognizing the abundance of Mexican flags reflecting foreign influence, he failed to note that the “masked vigilantes” are hard-core communists and anarchists. I follow these people, who openly advertise their plans and tactics. They are not hiding from authorities.
Comcast-owned MSNBC is the channel in the middle of a lawsuit filed by FBI director Kash Patel against former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi, an MSNBC analyst who describes himself as the FBI’s former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and was “directing all espionage investigations across the US government.” No wonder these communist groups established connections with Beijing and Moscow under the noces of the FBI under Biden.
Figliuzzi claimed Patel spent more time in “nightclubs” than inside the Bureau’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. “Yeah, well, reportedly, he’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” a program whose host, a former GOP congressman, vouched for Biden’s mental fitness. They were lying.
MSNBC later tried to correct Figliuzzi’s statement, admitting it was unverified. Indeed, he cited no evidence.
My point is this: if questions about Biden’s mental fitness are legitimate, what about the mental fitness of MSNBC and this former FBI counter-intelligence official? One hopes that Patel goes beyond suing these former officials to purging them from the Bureau.
Ultimately, in terms of media malpractice, the blame is on the “journalists” and their corporate bosses, but the role of that former FBI official brings the matter to a higher and more disturbing level. The lies started at the top of Biden’s FBI and they spread to the media.
I survey several media outlets daily and it is easy to discover that the Terry Moran School of Journalism is alive and well in media organizations too numerous to count. Moran is the ABC “journalist” fired for posting his own personal hatred for Trump White House officials, including Trump himself. He was open about the media bias that exists in all legacy media outlets, including Bloomberg, NPR, and PBS.
When I worked for Accuracy in Media, the watchdog group, I was lobbying for a federal spending cut-off of these “public” outlets decades ago. The Republicans never cut their funding. That is why I am skeptical of the spending cuts in the “Big Beautiful” bill.
Moran is one of many “journalists” educated in the “interpretative” school of journalism, popularized by Marxist Curtis MacDougall, a professor of journalism at Northwestern University who was a Castro sympathizer and anti-Joe McCarthy activist who rooted for George McGovern for president. McGovern ran on such a far-left platform that he was crushed in the 1972 presidential election.
I had been assigned MacDougall’s biased “textbook” when I studied journalism at the University of Toledo, a development that caused me to join Accuracy in Media after I arrived in Washington, D.C. after graduating from college.
What we should have learned by now, but which is deliberately obscured by the media, is that Marxists are trained not to solve problems but to exploit them, on the road to socialism and communism. This is why the Communist Control Act was passed. It declared, “The Congress finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States, although purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States.”
Under these circumstances, the CPUSA and its spin-offs can be identified and its members jailed and/or deported.
The communist -inspired protests do not just “pop up,” as CNN claimed. They are carefully organized to spread chaos and anarchy, with the help of the media.
The communists were prepared when George Floyd died. Our cities were still burning when the BLM, a group run by lesbian Marxists, called for defunding the police, resulting in more black lives being lost as gun violence rose in those same cities.
BLM was in the forefront of a Maoist cultural revolution that few people seemed to grasp. Now we are in anther phase of the revolution.
To understand how journalism has been “fundamentally transformed,” please read this report, “Saving the World For Socialism,” on how Curtis MacDougall trained today’s “progressive” journalists.” As noted, MacDougall conceived “interpretative reporting,” the name of his textbook, and inspired many journalists to embrace this far-left worldview. We see the results all over the place, with Terry Moran, formerly of ABC News, just one more visible example.
As for FBI director Kash Patel, a lawsuit against an MSNBC commentator and former FBI official is worthwhile but what is really needed is FBI monitoring and infiltration of literally dozens of communist groups that are stoking the violence on the streets.
Until we understand the communist revolution in our midst and get serious about addressing it, America cannot be saved. President Trump must continue to enforce the laws on the books, including the Alien Enemies Act and the Communist Control Act, but he must go one step further and challenge the “authority” of the federal judges and even the Supreme Court when they usurp or undermine his authority to put down the insurrection.
In addition, Mr. President, this is not the time to be going to the Kennedy Center for a performance of “Les Misérables,” as Trump did on Wednesday night. Instead, as commentator Allan Wall argues during my Rumble TV broadcast, a wartime address to the nation is required, in order to justify crushing the insurrection once and for all and putting the communist agitators behind bars where they belong.
