Toby Westerman column
Mr. Toby Westerman is editor and publisher of International News Analysis Today (www.inatoday.com). Since 1996, Westerman has used English and foreign language materials to bring to public attention general trends and specific events that pose dangers to the American public but are either ignored or superficially treated by the centralized media.
Westerman has been a leader in establishing the working relationship between the neo-communist movement and militant fundamentalist Islam.
Westerman's work has included bringing to the attention of the general public the activities of the "Wasp Network," a Cuban espionage ring operating in Florida, whose activities included spying on pro-democracy Cuban exiles and U.S. military personnel. Westerman's writing exposed the Chinese-Cuban alliance, including Beijing's sophisticated electronic surveillance base on the island, and he has explored pro-Marxist activities near the U.S. border and within the U.S. itself.
His latest work is Lies, Terror, and the Rise of the Neo-Communist Empire: Origins and Direction.
