"Red" Rosa Parks: Fabricating an American Icon

Rosa Parks was not a simple seamstress whose lonely act of defiance in 1955 sparked the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, she was a trained Communist Party (CPUSA) activist.

Her refusal to move to the back of the bus wasn't a spontaneous gesture, but a provocation organized by her longtime employer, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Last week Rosa Parks' body lay in state under the Capitol Rotunda; an honor accorded only 29 times in US history, to people like Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, and most recently Ronald Reagan.

This treatment illustrates how the American political leaders and mass media public routinely deceive and betray the public. The New York Times obituary said her arrest "turned a very private woman into a reluctant symbol and torch bearer." President Clinton said her action "ignited the most significant social movement in American history."

While I support the ostensible aims of the Civil Rights movement, I have to ask, given its Communist sponsorship, "What is the hidden agenda?" I'll elaborate later.

To understand why the US elite would honor a Communist, we need to make a paradigm shift.

A clique of London-based private bankers controls most of the world's credit and wealth and wants to consolidate this power in permanent world institutions of political, social and spiritual control.

It created and funded Communism as an instrument to advance this goal, which involves dissolving all "collective forces" that might oppose it, including nation-state, race, religion and family.

Thus "Communism" far from being a relic of the Cold War era is in different forms still part of our lives, eroding the above institutions.

The "Cold War" continues as the "War on Terror" – essentially another fraud calculated to control the masses and further concentrate wealth and power in the hands of the super rich.

The Pattern of Elite Deception

The portrayal of Rosa Parks as an ordinary citizen triggered my alarm bell. Betty Friedan, the "founder" of feminism and longtime Communist activist was also depicted as an average mother and housewife. Thanks to a well informed Internet forum, Daily Kos.com, I quickly discovered Rosa Parks began serving as secretary for the NAACP in 1943 and still held that position when she was arrested.


In July 1955, five months before the famous incident in December, she attended "Highlander Folk School" in Monteagle Tennessee. Myles Horton and James Dombroski, both Communist Party members, started this school in 1932 to train Communist activists. Betty Friedan was another alumnus.

Rosa Parks and many others had defied the bus segregation laws on several occasions since the 1940's. The Montgomery bus boycott was planned in advance. Martin Luther King was brought in to lead it. Rosa Parks was chosen to kick it off. (See Aldon Morris, "The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement")

A member of Daily Kos.com who works for the CPUSA newspaper said a CPUSA executive member told him that Rosa Parks was a member of the party. (This is something Communists don't advertise.)

The testimony of numerous defectors leaves no doubt the US Communist Party was directed and funded from Moscow. Despite what idealistic dupes like Parks and Friedan thought, its goal was to subjugate the American people.

The Women's Liberation Movement was patterned on the Civil Rights Movement. They are off-the-shelf Communist psychosocial operations. To be effective, they must appear to reflect a popular groundswell rather than an elite agenda imposed from above.

While these movements rectified genuine injustices, their hidden purpose is to destabilize American society by exploiting potential internal divisions.


Banker Jacob Schiff, the Rothschild's agent in the US, who later funded Bolshevism, started the NAACP in 1909.

In his book, "My Awakening" David Duke paints a picture of the NAACP that suggests a typical Banker-Communist front. (pp.282-284) Although founded in 1909, it didn't have a Black President until the 1970's. Until then, its President and Board were mainly drawn from the ranks of Communist Jews.

Martin Luther King may have been a typical front man. Privately he declared himself a Marxist. He also attended the Highlander School and his personal secretaries Bayard Rustin and Jack O'Dell were Communists. Stanley Levinson, his handler, who wrote his speeches and managed his fundraising, was also a Communist.

Apparently King's integrity has also been called into question. King plagiarized large sections of his Doctoral Thesis. He also had liaisons with white prostitutes, which were taped by the FBI and confirmed by his successor Ralph Abernathy. ("And the Walls Came Tumbling Down," 1989)


I find racial prejudice, discrimination and segregation repugnant. Mankind is a family of races, each gifted and bringing something unique to the potluck.

At the same time, a balance must be found. Racial and national groups have a right to protect their racial character and ensure their survival. I find it odd that countries like Israel, China and Japan can do this without criticism but countries in Europe and North America cannot. Blacks, Jews and Hispanics can do this but Whites cannot. I also believe discrimination in favor of a "minority" is as bad as discrimination against.

I am a Canadian and am not an expert on the Civil Rights movement. However, if the CPUSA was involved, there was a hidden agenda.

It appears to be spelled out in a document entitled "A Racial Program for the 20th Century" (1912)by an Israel Cohen quoted by Congressman Abernathy, and entered into the Congressional Record (1957), p. 8559. If authentic, it is pretty damning:


The central bankers are involved in a massive fraud: printing our money for the price of the paper, loaning it to us and then demanding repayment with interest. The only way they can perpetuate this fraud is to keep us distracted. That involves creating enemies for us.

Look at France with its minority of five million Muslims. Currently Muslim youth are rioting. French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday that the riots were "not spontaneous" but rather "well organized."

Do I need to elaborate? The central bankers can use racial minorities as a weapon.

A final suggestion is that, given the heavily Jewish character of the Communist Party, the Civil Rights Movement may have been designed to tear down White racial defenses so that Jews might advance.


The sanctification of the Communist Rosa Parks proves again that the American political and cultural elite is irredeemingably corrupt.

Social change doesn't take place in the USA unless the central bankers and their media assets sponsor it. Their long-term plan for world dictatorship is disguised as spontaneous grassroots revolt.

Increasingly the mass media, government and education reveal their true colors, and discredit themselves in the eyes of the public.


Before the civil rights movement there were many economically viable black communities. Segregation forced black people especially black man to take care of business. The civil rights movement destroyed that.

Harry Belafonte said Martin Luther King was killed after he realized that he was a pawn, that he was duped. Martin Luther King saw that de-segregation would impoverish the black community. Now there is no black community, we have no real leadership and we have no collective economic power. Put together we have a lot of money but we are the targets of corporations, this is what the civil rights movement has brought us. And the Nation of Islam was started by the Jesuits to foment race war.
