I m not following Dennis logic here The reference entirely supports the information in the National alliance article and by the way that newspaper is at least a worthy enough source as the defunct obscure newspaper where Redwood s letter to the editor appeared that is quoted at length This is what the Friedman article says He also suggested consulting with Political Research Associates PRA a left liberal investigative outfit with deep roots in the counterintelligence movement Among its top researchers is former Public Eye editor Chip Berlet PRA has been funded in large part by Richard Denis a multi millionaire Chicago commodities trader who was also one of the largest individual contributors to the Democratic Party in 1993 Bragging that he and researchers had worked with PRA for many years King said They have the best files in the country on political cults Berlet like King has suspiciously changed his public views on NAP over the years In 1984 when he first took over as editor of Public Eye Berlet told Newman in a phone interview set up at Berlet s request to set the record straight regarding the Public Eye s 1977 accusation that Newman was a cultist and a LaRouchite I m the new kid on the block at Public Eye I m the new editor as opposed to the old editor and if there was some way I could avoid having to write articles about this ongoing topic NAP I would Our analysis of your group has changed over the past few years drastically with my assumption to editor The next issue of Public Eye contained the following editor s note As you will learn from a forthcoming article on Fred Newman and the IWP International Workers Party a group that Newman had headed up in the mid seventies the Public Eye no longer feels it is accurate to call Newman s political network a cult That forthcoming article however never appeared Instead three years later right after Democratic Party high roller Denis contributed 75 000 to PRA Berlet s Clouds Blur the Rainbow did The article clearly cites this in a NPOV manner as a claim that was made in a Newman publication not as fact just like the claims of Redwood and every other critic and self styled expert whose opinions permeate this article to a ridiculous extent already
