Seeing Red - Spontaneous anti-American demonstrations? Think again.: "The WPC was created by Moscow in the 1950s and had only one task: to portray the United States as being run by a 'war-mongering government.' To make it look like a Western organization, Moscow headquartered it in Paris, but in 1954 the French government accused the WPC of being a Soviet puppet and kicked it out of France. Therefore, its headquarters were moved to Soviet-occupied Vienna, and then to Prague when Austria became neutral. It is remarkable that, after the Soviet Union collapsed and the United States remained the only superpower, Romesh Chandra moved his WPC to Athens and focused its operations toward 'waging a struggle against the New World Order.' According to its current charter, adopted during a 1996 Peace Congress in Mexico, the WPC has now 'broadened into a worldwide mass movement' whose task is to support 'those people and liberation movements' fighting 'against [American] imperialism.'"
