Agents: The FBI and GPU Infiltration of the Trotskyist Movement uses archival evidence to shed new light on how the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union spied on and infiltrated the world Trotskyist movement from the 1930s through the 1980s.

Beginning in the 1930s, both governments succeeded in placing high-level agents within the American Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party (SWP). Through their network of spies, the Stalinist secret police—the GPU—were able to orchestrate the assassination of Leon Trotsky, co-leader of the Russian Revolution, in Mexico City in August 1940.

The FBI used their network of undercover agents to prepare the conviction of 18 members of the SWP in 1941 on charges of sedition, under the recently passed Smith Act. The act also targeted members of the Trotskyist movement who had been in the leadership of the 1934 Minneapolis General Strike.

June 11 saw the International Marxist Tendency (IMT) declare itself as a new Revolutionary Communist International (RCI). At an international meeting, the RCI reported an attendance of 500 delegates from over 39 countries and a streaming audience from 120.

The political purpose of this initiative was made clear in the opening report by its leader Alan Woods. It is to continue, under vastly changed political circumstances, the decades-long efforts of the tendency initially led by Ted Grant to oppose the Fourth International—represented today by the International Committee of the Fourth International—and to orient workers and youth to the Stalinist, trade union and social democratic bureaucracies under the cover of a torrent of radical-sounding rhetoric.

At the 40th International Documentary Association (IDA) awards in Los Angeles December 5, No Other Land, a scathing indictment of Zionist repression and violence in the illegally Occupied West Bank, received three major awards.

However, the film distribution network, also headquartered in the same city, has refused to see to it that the work is actually shown to the public in the US. This is an explicit act of acquiescing to pro-Israeli intimidation and objectively covering up massive, world-historical crimes.
