Here's another source. Listen to what Alan Stang has to say on Levison being used by Moscow to distribute the "rubles" to pay locals for their communist activities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXyfCQAOwfg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.246.226.93 (talk) 13:21, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Alan Stang was hardly a viable source for an article about Levison. He was a member of and speaker and writer for a major fomenter of conspiracy theories, the John Birch Society^[1], and the author of a biography of its founder^[2]. This organization promoted, among other bizarre theories, the notion that President Eisenhower was a tool of the Communists: "With regard to ... Eisenhower, it is difficult to avoid raising the question of deliberate treason." Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 17:29, 23 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

In the first paragraph of the preface of “parting the water” it states “Strictly speaking, this book is not a biography of Nartin Luther King, Jr., though he is at its heart.” 2601:481:0:B360:716A:DFC1:6F2D:536 (talk) 23:39, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Mr. Levison's Communist Party membership and his role in the organization is completely neglected in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:140:8000:B5C0:882A:F7D1:1CE1:AFCC (talk) 18:36, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

And "liberal" is used as code for "communist".--Ralfdetlef (talk) 05:17, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
