CLEVELAND, OH – In 1985 I interviewed Ohio Communist Party director Rick Nagin for my Cleveland Perspective radio show on WRMR AM850. I wanted to know how a Communist in a nation where Communism has been outlawed since 1950 could operate so openly in an American city.
Nagin is ethnically Russian, raised Jewish and has spewed the full Communist Party doctrine on his Facebook page and for the People’s World Daily online and print newspaper. He had these words to say on People’s World Daily after his Tree of Life synagogue was attacked in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“Private ownership of weapons of war like the AR-15 used by Bowers must be outlawed. People, like him, who post and propagate hatred of ethnic, racial, and religious minorities, immigrants, women, and LGBTQ people must be denied the right to own guns of any kind. The arms manufacturing industry, like the banks, big pharma, and the energy corporations that depend on reckless attacks on the security and democratic rights of the American people to maximize profits must be nationalized. These measures will open the door to the ultimate solution—the complete end of private corporate power and its replacement by the will of the working people—socialism.”
In the same article Nagin wrote that he was non-religious. 11 Russian, Ukrainian and Polish Orthodox Jews were killed and another five were wounded at the “ultra-conservative” synagogue in October 2018. Ultra-conservative Jews are characteristically more racist. They’ve been the ones promoting a “pure” Jewish state.

According to Nagin’s words above, if an American wants our immigration laws diligently enforced along with those that define the national characteristics of our nation as Christian, English speaking and intolerant of people who sexualize our children we should not be allowed to own weapons. It reads as if he’s advocating for the ethnic, racial, religious minorities, immigrants, women and LGBTQ people to be allowed weapons access and control of our nation. That thinking reeks of how Russian, Polish and Ukrainian alien terrorists calling themselves Hebrews took over Palestine in 1948 with the $50 million they raised from illegal alien organized crime figures operating in the United States of America.
As an ethnic Russian and Jewish, Nagin is a member of a tiny 1.9 percent minority group whose parents and grandparents arrived on our shores unlawfully. Russians and other Eastern Europeans and Asian Indians were excluded with the Chinese in the Chinese Exclusion Acts beginning in 1882. Lizzie Ratner, senior editor of The Nation, admits in writing that her father and his brothers that included Forest City ex-chairman Albert Ratner’s father, Leonard, arrived in our nation illegally. America’s first immigration laws in 1790 and 1795 granted admission to English speaking Caucasians and “Africanists.” President John Quincy Adams wanted America to be an English speaking nation and Americans its most eloquent speakers.
Nagin’s Communist views on immigration seeks legitimacy for his own “kind” or category of immigrant “Dreamer.” It appears as if he’s advocating that alien and immigrant minorities from the ethnic groups with which he’s affiliated, not the majority, should be in charge of our nation. By 1973 fewer than 1300 Russians were on the books as being lawfully admitted into the United States of America. There’s no way that number exceeds 6 million today … legally. Our immigration laws were structured to give admittance to the “Einstein’s” and not the Ratner’s, Nagin’s, Neuhaus’ and Lansky’s.
Nagin would know if he were a Communist Control Act abiding American that our corporations are already nationalized when they operate from within our borders and their officials refuse to violate the Logan Act, Espionage Act and Foreign Agents Registration Acts along with the other federal laws that limits their global, offshore activities. So are nationalized American patriots who limit their interactions with foreign government officials and their agents to zero. Nothing about Nagin’s Communist thinking is American or consistent with the existing laws of our nation the Communists now calling themselves “Progressive Democrats” want to overthrow. It’s why since 1950 and 1954 Communism has been outlawed.

In 1950 Congress enacted the National Security Act and it’s been a federal law Marxists like Kamaladevi Harris’ illegal alien mother from India protested against as a University of California at Berkeley student in the 1960’s. It’s found at Title 50, Chapter 23 of the United States Code under the heading “Internal Security” and has not been repealed.
The 33 Russians serving in our Congress want our espionage laws that limit their interactions with the governments of Russia and Israel wiped off the books. The local Democrats giving Nagin internal access to the party and its elected and appointed “officers” may wish they’d done more federal law reading about the limits of the public offices they sought. They should have been reporting his Communist activities to the FBI instead of welcoming him into the party as co-conspiring National Security Act violators. Everyone with knowledge of federal crimes is required to report them under our nation’s “Misprision of felony” law. It’s found at Chapter 18 of the United States Code, Section 4.
What the National Security Act does is define Communism as the political party of a foreign government. It makes Communists like Harris’ mother and father, and those like Nagin, “agents” of a foreign government. It makes government communications and exchanges of information with a known Communist a federal criminal offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. It is also a “deportable” crime. The Communist Control Act of 1954 completely outlaws the Communist Party of which Nagin has been a high-ranking official.

Nagin’s work with Democrats and within the Democratic Party from the lens of the 1950 federal law gives him the appearance of being a Communist infiltrator who was given access to and acquired national defense secrets from his government “officer” employers, associates and endorsers. Under the “Offenses” section of 50 U.S.C. 23, Subpart 1, Section 783(a) the heading is “Communication of classified information by Government officer or employee.”
It shall be unlawful for any officer or employee of the United States or of any department or agency thereof, or of any corporation the stock of which is owned in whole or in major part by the United States or any department or agency thereof, to communicate in any manner or by any means, to any other person whom such officer or employee knows or has reason to believe to be an agent or representative of any foreign government, any information of a kind which shall have been classified by the President (or by the head of any such department, agency, or corporation with the approval of the President) as affecting the security of the United States, knowing or having reason to know that such information has been so classified, unless such officer or employee shall have been specifically authorized by the President, or by the head of the department, agency, or corporation by which this officer or employee is employed, to make such disclosure of such information.
The second section of 50 U.S.C. 23, Subpart 1, Section 783(b) makes the connection to Communism even more clear under the heading, “Receipt of, or attempt to receive, by foreign agent or member of Communist organization, classified information.” It simply declares Communists to be agents of a foreign government.
It shall be unlawful for any agent or representative of any foreign government knowingly to obtain or receive, or attempt to obtain or receive, directly or indirectly, from any officer or employee of the United States or of any department or agency thereof or of any corporation the stock of which is owned in whole or in major part by the United States or any department or agency thereof, any information of a kind which shall have been classified by the President (or by the head of any such department, agency, or corporation with the approval of the President) as affecting the security of the United States, unless special authorization for such communication shall first have been obtained from the head of the department, agency, or corporation having custody of or control over such information.
The “penalties” are found in subsection (c) and instructs that, “any person who violates any provision of this section shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000, or imprisonment for not more than ten years, or by both such fine and such imprisonment, and shall, moreover, be thereafter ineligible to hold any office, or place of honor, profit, or trust created by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”

The Communist Control Act is codified in part at Title 50 of the United States Code, Chapter 23, Subpart IV, Section 842. This section reads as follows and is a companion to the National Security Act of 1950. Nagin and other Communists can argue the “constitutionality” of the two laws all they want. Communism is outlawed in the United States of America … period.
The Communist Party of the United States, or any successors of such party regardless of the assumed name, whose object or purpose is to overthrow the Government of the United States, or the government of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein by force and violence, are not entitled to any of the rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; and whatever rights, privileges, and immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, are terminated: Provided, however, That nothing in this section shall be construed as amending the Internal Security Act of 1950, as amended [50 U.S.C. 781 et seq.]
Since before 1985 I’ve watched Nagin work as an aide to former Councilman Nelson Cintron until he was fired 7 years later. Nagin later competed against Cintron for the seat when Brian Cummins won it. He’s campaigned for the United States Senate, Cleveland city council and worked for both U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich and U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown. Officials at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections have known Nagin was a Communist when they authorized a member of the outlawed and foreign political party on ballots instead of reporting him to federal authorities.
Organized labor director Harriet Applegate admits Nagin worked on the election staff of the North Shore AFL-CIO. The Cuyahoga County Democratic Party embraces Nagin, fully, as one of their own “ward leaders” and “executive committee” members.
Nagin has never hidden his Communist Party affiliation so oath sworn Democrats like Kucinich and Brown, as well as reporters like Henry Gomez, have knowingly disregarded our laws to encourage his presence. The Russian-owned Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com allowed him to write a guest column like they did American Israeli Public Affairs Committee founder and illegal Russian alien Isaiah Kenen of Shaker Heights. What Nagin has benefited from as a candidate is the “non-partisan” structure of elections in Cleveland and other cities across Ohio that gives ballot access to Communist “infiltrators” who don’t have to declare their political affiliation to spread their subversively foreign political views.

There were and are two groups of non-English speaking Eastern European alien and immigrant “subversives” the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under Director John Edgar Hoover wanted out of the United States of America. Those in the Communist controlled organized labor unions and the Communists in the mafia. Nagin makes reference to them as “giants” in a Facebook post above. Hoover was investigating and arresting Communists, union members and the mafia and saw them all as the same.
The legendary American Negro FBI director – the man who built the national law enforcement agency – knew they were anti-Christian racist; and spreading drugs, prostitution, pornography, racketeering, pedophilia, rapacious terrorist violence and anarchist filth among God and Constitution-loving Americans. They were the 4500 Bolsheviks President Woodrow Wilson – an American hero – ordered Hoover and U.S. Attorney General Alexander Mitchell Palmer to round-up. 240 were deported aboard the USS Buford to Russia in 1919. Nagin would not be so loud under Vladimir Putin. If he’s so pro-Russian it’s amazing he’s still living in the United States of America.
Communist Eastern European aliens in the unions had launched an all out war on American Negroes and White Anglo Saxon Protestant Christians in over 40 cities beginning with East Saint Louis, Illinois on July 6, 1917. Over 1000 American Negro men, women and children were slaughtered by these murderous “unionist” immigrant cowards who did not want to compete with our ancestors for work.

East Saint Louis was the location of the worst act of labor terrorism in our nation’s history. This is the work of the Communist “giants” Nagin described as they took their murderous bloodletting to Chicago, Tulsa, Detroit, Boston and more. I was raised in East Saint Louis. His perspective that these cowards were “giants’ is so un-American wrong it’s offensive.
Russian alien Samuel Gompers [born in England] founded the American Federation of Labor in 1886 and he had a motto Americans with ears to the streets knew well. “Never let a nigger touch a tool.” Union-loving American Negroes is insane. It shows how non-reading Americans are being tricked … daily. Imagine Gompers arriving in the United States of America in 1881 and Congress deciding a year later to include Russians in the exclusions with the Chinese in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
FBI Director Hoover is probably one of the most misunderstood American Negroes in our national history. He sought to “protect” American Negroes from Communism and the union violence of the “giants” Nagin was praising. Communists and past members of the unions praise Paul Robeson’s presence in their lives. Robeson saw himself as an “anti-colonialist” when he founded the Council on African Affairs that later became the African Union. Hoover saw Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois as Communist traitors. It’s the same with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
King was fine until he started promoting labor unions whose members had been killing Americans in the southern states. He hadn’t done his history to know they were not the “friends” of the American Negro as he had been portraying them. King had also been infiltrated by homosexual Russian Israeli terrorist Ariel Sharon’s friend … Bayard Rustin. The openly homosexual American Negro writer and organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and Sharon were reportedly “fuck buddies.” Rustin was Sharon’s character reference in his 1984 defamation lawsuit against Time Magazine. He lost.
President Abraham Lincoln was shot to death 22 months after he allowed six Russian warships to enter New York harbor during the Civil War. As he regularly communicated with Das Kapital author Karl Marx, Lincoln’s first State of the Union address sounded like he’d taken a page right out of the Communist’s book.
I’ve shared a link above to a video that explains who in the Communist Party of the United States of America has infiltrated the Democratic Party … nationally. Nagin’s name is included.
Local Democratic officials have removed members of the party for backing Republicans. The Republican Party is not outlawed like the Communist Party. Democrats have better do a “reset” with a quickness before they’re taken too far down the Communist path.
Nagin wrote in a Facebook post above that everyone has to decide “which side are you on?” There’s only one side in America and it’s not his.
