Part 10 is here.

Donald Trump's presidential candidacy threatens the Left's strangehold in this country more than any other movement in American politics in my memory, if not modern history.

That's the simple reason thousands of Leftists mobilized in Chicago last week to shut down the democratic process -- to seize the space inside and around a Trump political rally and transform it into a morass of menace, sirens, chaos, and mobs.

Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Rachel Maddow, Jake Tapper, Megyn Kelly et al to the woeful contrary: Nothing, but nothing, Donald Trump has said from his podium about protestors disrupting his rallies (punch him in the face, get him out of here, beat the crap out of anyone that throws tomatoes at me, I'll defend you in court -- the works) drives the anti-USA agendas of these Leftist groups; nor did it inspire them to organize the mobs that "successfully" interupted the democratic process last week in Chicago.

So what is behind it?

It is Donald Trump's political agenda that drove the Left to organize its Chicago assets to seize enough control of the streets and the auditorium to thwart peaceable assembly and disrupt free speech -- constitutional rights both (which, by the way, "Constitution defender" Cruz, once again, is so quick to surrender).

The Left reviles Trump's Wall. They revile his policy to deport illegal aliens. To halt Muslim immigration. To halt illegal immigration. To control legal immigration. Restore US sovereignty. Reverse globalizing trade policies, such as TPA and TPP. These sharp turns from our politics-as-usual-over–the-cliff is what drove the Left to the streets in Chicago. Leaders on the Right -- Cruz, Kasich and Rubio -- gave the Left cover by blaming Trump.

Below is a list of the groups and persons that helped organize or participated in the "protest" in Chicago, a city, I was surprised to find, that is nearly as Hispanic as it is black. Blacks comprise 32.9 percent of Chicago's population. "According to the U.S. census," the Chicago Tribune reports, "28.9 percent of Chicago's population identify as Hispanic. About 21.4 percent are from Mexico." More than one in five Chicagoans are from Mexico? No wonder there were Mexican flags flying over the anti-Trump throngs.

My list is cobbled together from the LA Times, Daily Caller, the Chicago Tribune, Politico, and my own perusing. It is probably not complete, given that Chicagomag.com estimated that some 60 groups and 100 student organizers put the shutdown together. Incomplete or not, however, the revolutionary Leftist agenda of the groups couldn't be clearer.

Note the congratulations from People For Bernie, described by MSNBC as "a large unofficial pro-Sanders organization founded by veterans of the Occupy movement."



Shafted political principles and naked politics aside: That Cruz, Kasich and Rubio did not grasp that the Chicago shutdown was the revolutionary Left acting to disrupt the democratic process is probably the biggest single indictment of their collective political acumen. How opportunistic, how myopic can they get.

1) The Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights,
2) La Raza Chicago
3) Black Lives Matter Chicago
4) League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Illinois
5) Bill Ayers
6) Rep. Luis Guttierez
7) MoveOn.org (which has endorsed Bernie Sanders). Note: the MoveOn.org petition for the Stop Trump event was written by self-described "undocumented" and "queer" UIC graduate student, Jorge Mena Robles, a member of Mijente (below).
8 University of Illinois Chicago's Prof. Amallia Pallares,
9) Black Student Union
10) Muslim Student Association
11) The Fearless Undocumented Alliance ("which," as the LA Times PC-puts it, "advocates for immigrants in the country illegally")
12) Assata's Daughters (named for escaped-to-Cuba Black Panther murderer Assata Shakur, aka Joanne Chesimard)
13) International ANSWER Chicago
14) Chicago Democratic Socialists of America (Chicago DSA)
15) SEIU Local 73
16) The Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (as reported by "Fight Back News: News and Views from the People's Struggle")
17) Mijente
18 Centro Sin Fronteras
19) Chicago Aldermen George Cardenas (12th), Raymond Lopez (15th) and Gilbert Villegas (36th), as reported by Progress Illionois

Reading this detailed account in Fight Back News, "How Students in Chicago Organized to Shut Down Trump," it strikes me that the author, Joe Iosbaker, of SEIU Local 73, who was also on-site at the UIC venue on the night of shutdown, might well have been the veteran organizer who coached these students on how to disrupt the Trump event.
