I haven't verified this report is real and have only skimmed over a couple pages, but it does bring up some interesting points that G. Edward Griffin discusses when he says that communism didn't die with the fall of the Soviet Union:
Communism evolved from left-wing
extremism. The threat from left-wing extremists did not die with the collapse of the
Soviet Union, however. Domestic groups and state-sponsored cells and individuals have
continued their espionage activities and the planning of terrorist actions against the U.S.
government. Leftist extremists were responsible for three-fourths of the officially
designated acts of terrorism in America in the 1980s.
...
Some of the
leaders of these movements are currently political exiles living in Cuba, but new leaders
are emerging within the United States as well.
...
Those who think Marxist-Leninist ideology died with the Soviet Union should listen to
the words of Fidel Castro as he concluded his speech on the 40th anniversary of the
Cuban Revolution in January 1999, “Socialism or death! Venceremos!” (Castro, 1999).
