Former communist and ardent conservative David Horowitz passed away at the age of 86. He turned 86 on January 10th.
When the Black Liberation Army murdered his friend, their secretary, this son of communists had an awakening, and it was the beginning of his transformation.
He became a fearless fighter against communism. I interviewed him once, and he was brilliant. Mr. Horowitz foresaw everything that is now taking place long before it happened. He knew how Marxism operates.

RIP David Horowitz….I enjoyed many of you books, especially the new one.
Horowitz had a huge gap in his belief system. He supported illegal immigration. He attacked Trump’s policies on that. He thinks anyone has a right to move here.
He also was an Israel first neocon. He favored wars. He was a classic Jewish neocon, pushing hard US patriotism, while advocating the USA act against its own interests.
I used to be fooled by his anti-communist exterior.
After I learned more about him, I realized that he is just a more skillful version of Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin. They all utilize bait & switch, they get conservatives on their side, while they subtly insert anti-US policies.
I don’t remember this David Horowitz. I thought you were referring to the David Horowitz the consumer advocate. Sounds like this David was an interesting fellow. Glad he saw the light before the end. RIP David.
You never heard of David Horowitz’s “Freedom Center”? Too bad. He was a quiet great man, with brilliant perceptions. He worked with another man of the same ilk, Matthew Vadum. Look him up too.
