C-- San Francisco files reflect that the Fall, 1968, bulletin put out by the Mid-Peninsula Free University reflects that the MFU is a non-profit corporation organized to implement a vision of cultural revolution in which a new society will develop with the siell of the old. The MFU has a commitment to total reconstruction at all levels, its goal being the emergence of a new politice, new economic, new religion, new education and a new vision of humanity based on libertarian, democratic and com unitarian ideas. This bulletin further stated that the MF! opposes laws against use, possession and sale of marijuana, supports non-violence resistance to the draft and to the war in Vietnam as well as supporting the ten point program of the Black Panther Party. On Page 8 of this and com unitarian ideas. This bulletin further stated that the MF! opposes laws against use, possession and sale of marijuana, supports non-violence resistance to the draft and to the war in Vietnam as well as supporting the ten point program of the Black Panther Party. On Page 8 of this bulletin there is a listing for a class on Marxism Leninism and the American Revolution taught by [REDACTED] It is reflected that this course is a seminar for those who want to help make the American revolution and those who wish to explore the belief of MAO Tse-tung that "if there is to be a revolution, there must be a revolutionary party...A party built on the Marxist- Leninist revolutionary and in the Marxist-Leninist revolutionary style." It was indicated that selected works of LENIN and MAO Tse-tung would be utilized in the course. -2- WHITE SF 157-601 HPF/cmp In addition to the public source material noted above in which [REDACTED] is specifically mentioned and/or quoted, there is al o attached an article from the "Berkeley Barb", issue of 5/3 /68, which reflects information con- cerning the existence of the Peninsula Red Guard at Stanford University. Caution should be exercised inasmuch as there is no public source material linking [REDACTED] with the Peninsula Red Guard. However, this particular article could be used effectively to steer [REDACTED] into answering questions such as does such a organization exist at Stanford, and, if so, what are its a'ms and purposes. There is also attached a xerox copy of an article appearing in Barro 's, the National Business and Financial Weekly, dated 9/16 68, in which ERNEST MANDEL, the recognized international Marx st scholar, comments concerning a report on the fourth conf rence of Socialist scholars. This report appears to paralle the Party line of the New Left and is not specifically student activists. Although [REDACTED] mentioned in this material, it is felt that he would follow this particular lie in a debate and statements by [REDACTED] could be pinned do in to a similar or identical line as that MANDEL advocates in this article.

Notable visual elements include: * **Redactions:** Large, dark rectangular redactions obscure specific names or phrases throughout the document, indicating sensitive information. * **Handwritten Notes:** Handwritten text appears in the margins and above some sections, possibly adding context, routing information, or directives from field agents. * **Official Markings:** A stamp reading "SF 157-601 HPF/cmp" is present at the top left, likely a file or case identifier from the San Francisco field office. Additional stamps, which appear to be routing or classification markings, are visible, though partially obscured. * **Paper Type and Condition:** The document is printed on what appears to be aged, slightly yellowed paper with a rough texture, common for documents of this era. Some areas show signs of wear and ink bleed. * **Textual Content:** The majority of the page is filled with typed text, detailing information related to a bulletin from the "Mid-Peninsula Free University" and its perceived radical political affiliations. The visual presentation, particularly the redactions and handwritten annotations, underscores the covert and analytical nature of the COINTELPRO operation, highlighting the FBI's efforts to control and obscure sensitive details within their surveillance records. The document is a typed FBI report with some handwritten annotations and redactions. There are several black ink smudges and marks throughout the page, some resembling scribbles or deletions. Some text is obscured by black redaction markings. The document includes routing information, "SF 157-601 HPF/cmp," at the top left. A page number, "3 -", is visible at the bottom center. The overall appearance suggests a processed or reviewed document, with a mix of official type and markings indicating internal handling. past eleven weeks this year.
