According to Merchandise Mart, the Kennedy family owned and operated the buildings for over 50 years from 1945 onwards. It was only in 1998(1) that ownership changed hands, specifically to whom the Merchandise Mart does not say. Joseph P. Kennedy was the original purchaser.(2)
The "RCP-USA"'s main claim to fame is in founding the "Revolutionary Internationalist Movement" by stealing the original name of MIM. The most famous member of the RIM was the "PCP," Peruvian Communist Party, led by Comrade Gonzalo. Comrade Gonzalo called the "RCP-USA" the "principal" force in the RIM and his Central Committee circulated a document opposing "RCP-USA" "hegemonism" in the RIM shortly before Gonzalo's arrest in 1992. The PCP remains on the State Department list of "Foreign Terrorist Organizations" to this day despite the arrest of the PCP Central Committee in 1992.
Some of our readers believe that bourgeois readers and media can figure out the connection of the "RCP-USA" to the oldest of the existing political dynasties, the Kennedy family. MIM disagrees, but we will pause now and give them a chance to mull the facts. We will test our ideas in practice and see who is right. Later MIM will have more to say on the subject.
The original Maoist comrades of the Maoist Internationalist Movement spent over two years in struggle with the "RCP-USA" before forming their own organization that became MIM.
This is the first of a five part series on the "war on terror" fraud that will appear this week.
