Emphasizing the Rockefeller family’s scheming against American interests in his editor’s note, Newman quoted John F. Kennedy warning in a 1961 speech about a “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy” driven by the Soviet Union that “relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.”
Today, Newman said, the conspiracy is even more virulent with former FBI Director James Comey, a key ringleader in Russia Gate, allegedly admitting that he was a communist, and former CIA boss John Brennan, another key figure in Russia Gate, admitting that he supported Communist Party USA presidential candidate Gus Hall in 1976.[3]
The ridiculous charges that Comey and Brennan are communist agents mimic the Cold War-era John Birch Society’s efforts to brand hawkish figures in the U.S. national security establishment, like Walt W. Rostow, Dwight Eisenhower and Henry Kissinger, as communist agents.
In Brennan’s case, he said he voted for Hall as a youth because of his then displeasure with the two-party system. However, in 1980, after being recruited as a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, he began his CIA career and became known for championing drone strikes and other aggressive measures in the Global War on Terror and an aggressive anti-Russia foreign policy.
The September 2025 issue of The New American, characteristically, featured an article by General Michael Flynn warning of a “deep-state” coup in Trump’s second term and another that referred to prospective New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a “Marxist worm.”
