::But did the Russians spend money on those WU freaks? I know, that large parts of the GFR/West German New Left received cash from the GDR and that the German terrorists (both the Berlin June2nd and the RAF) did from some point in time have good connections to the East German Stasi, but I cannot yet see the various Japanese Red Armies or even the Black Panthers getting hugh sums of Russian cash. Perhaps via Cuba...But, if Cuba gave large sums to the WU, shouldn't it be ''Cuban financed''? --[[User:Radh|Radh]] 12:11, 19 March 2010 (EDT)

:::You are correct, we'll fix the error. WUO was avowedly Maoist and broke with Soviet/CPUSA sponsorship in June 1969 at the SDS convention. There is evidence, however that the storefront Dr. Quentin Young rented during the DNC riots in 1968, to aid SDS rioters organized by Ayers, was paid for by the KGB.

:::Here's some sourcing on foreign financial aid [http://www.usasurvival.org/docs/Declassified_docs.pdf] For example
:::*In early 1969, CPUSA leaders urged Party members to give time and
money to New Left demonstrations and causes." P. 13.
:::*"after the townhouse explosion, Wilkerson and Boudin obtained money from the Cuban consul in Canada and left for Cuba. Additional inquiry disclosed that the families of Wilkerson and Boudin got the necessary money together to get both of them out of the country. The money was provided to the Ambassador of Kuwait and was
forwarded by the Ambassador via diplomatic pouch to either a Cuban Consulate or an anti-war group in Canada and subsequently delivered to the subjects, who according to unconfirmed reports were in Canada during this time. Boudin and Wilkerson thereafter were harbored by a group in Cuba- (433) Radical individuals or groups in this country received monetary and logistical support from the CMUN [Cuban Mission United Nations]. The CMUN included a substantial number of Cuban Intelligence Officers (DGI). Individuals in the United States were meeting clandestinely with these DGI officers. New Left Leaders contacted the CMUN for the purpose of arranging guidance, /
assistance and refuge. (434)." p. 16.
