Comforting Associations

Video is of an interview with Larry Grathwohl, an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated The Weather Underground, an ultra-left organization founded by Bill Ayers in 1969. Grathwohl has testified to the fact that Ayers routinely expressed his want to overthrow the United States government. In an interview in January 2009, Grathwohl stated that:

"The thing the most bone chilling thing Bill Ayers said to me was that after the revolution succeeded and the government was overthrown, they believed they would have to eliminate 25 million Americans who would not conform to the new order."

Grathwohl’s testimony was never admitted because of “prosecutorial misconduct”.

For the time being, like former Obama White House Czar Van Jones, Ayers and the leftist radicals have appeared to drop the radical high-profile prose, at least for the time being, in exchange for the radical ends (although if you catch them speaking to sympathetic groups you will find them praising Mao Tse Tung and Hugo Chavez extensively).

Very simply, they chose, some time ago, to create an environment where nothing is what it seems.

Instead of such blatant, extreme public rhetoric they have instead committed themselves to laying the foundation for their vision thru massive public law and policy changes. Essentially, they have mastered the same idea behind wearing sunglasses and baseball hats during a poker game; they have mastered the Sun Tzu art of patience and deception.

Such was not always the case.

In 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket affair confrontation between labor supporters and the Chicago Police. The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970).

Ayers is the former roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant who was killed in 1970 in a Greenwich Village townhouse explosion while constructing anti-personnel bombs intended for a non-commissioned officer dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Also killed in the same explosion was Diana Oughton, who was the girlfriend of none other Bill Ayers.

From the NY Times Website: “[Ayers] writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. But Mr. Ayers also seems to want to have it both ways, taking responsibility for daring acts in his youth, then deflecting it”.

Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn (who is now his wife and also an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law), disappeared in 1970 after the Greenwich Village townhouse bombing. In 1973, while they were on the run using various alias identities, new information came to light about the FBI running operations against Weather Underground and the New Left. Made public were a series of covert and often illegal FBI projects called COINTEL. Due to the illegal tactics of FBI agents involved with the program, government attorneys requested all weapons and bomb-related charges be dropped against the Weather Underground, including charges against Ayers.

However, state charges against Dohrn remained. Dohrn was still reluctant to turn herself in to authorities. "He was sweet and patient, as he always is, to let me come to my senses on my own", she later said of Ayers.

She eventually turned herself into authorities in 1980. She was fined $1,500 and given three years probation.

They were never prosecuted for their involvement with the 25 bombings, even though the Weather Underground had claimed responsibility; as stated all charges were dropped because of improper "FBI surveillance".

Unbelievably, Ayers told this to the New York Times in 2001: “I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough.”

I know, shocking. Want more? Perhaps this is the most interesting part of all:

In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Obama may have been born in Hawaii. I do not challenge that. But the above is not fiction. Its fact.
