[[Chip Berlet]] built a career writing in various far-left [[revolution]]ary publications, including ''[[Guardian]],'' founded by [[KGB]] agent [[Cedric Belfrage]], and whose writers included [[Wilfred Burchett]] who introduce [[Ho Chi Minh]] to American readers, assisted in extracting confessions from [[Korean War]] [[POW]]s, spread [[disinformation]] in its pages about American use of [[germ warfare]] which Soviet Archives now conclusively have shown was a lie manufactured in the [[Kremlin]].  Berlet at one time served on Daniel Brandt’s Public Information Research board of advisers, but Berlet's extreme leftism demands ideological purity from its followers, and Berlet demanded removal of Fletcher Prouty from the Board.  Prouty, a former Air Force colonel, was allegorically portrayed as “Man X” in the [[Oliver Stone]] film [[JFK]], and Berlet considered Prouty a [[fascist]]. The WikiMedia Foundation retained Berlet as a knowledgeable editor to defend against ceaseless barrages from the followers of [[Lyndon LaRouche]]. LaRouche is another fanatical [[leftist]] whose unpeer reviewed idiosyncratic musings are said to carry deep [[Anti-Semitic]] overtones, and is an integral member of [[Democratic Party]] coalition politics.
