Six Years Later: The Clear Connection Between Barack Obama and The Weathermen

"Just before the election of Barack Obama in 2008, it was quite shocking to see that a forty-year old, seemingly forgotten radical group called “Weatherman” was getting so much attention. Of course, Obama denied any connection to old Weathermen. Here’s a quick history of the “Weathermen” and why it’s relevant to a president whose entire campaign relied on a call for an undefined “change.” Now, six years later, the change is coming much clearer into view. And it seems we now know which way the wind blows."

"In 1962, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was born. It was a radical organization of college students. SDS quickly became the opposition to the Vietnam War. They organized demonstrations on college campuses across the nation to mobilize students to take “direct action” against “racism, poverty and war.” In 1963, SDS got involved in “community organizing,” teaming up with the Black Panthers, the Hispanic Young Lords, and other radical organizations.

By 1966, SDS was moving in a revolutionary Marxist direction. Their demonstrations and marches became violent clashes with police, many turning into riots. About the same time, SDS was joined by the Progressive Labor Party (PLP), a self-styled Marxist-Leninist-Maoist party, dedicated to implementing communist ideology."

"The manifesto detailed Weatherman ideology and the means to create a Marxist revolution in “Amerika.” Some of its chapter titles include: “The Struggle for Socialist Self-Determination,” “Black Liberation Means Revolution,” “Anti-Imperialist Revolution and The United Front,” “The Revolutionary Youth Movement – Class Analysis,” and “Repression and Revolution.” The document called for a class war against America’s free market society. It talked of joining up with Marxist revolutions around the world, in China, in Cuba, and more. It called for the creation of a “Revolutionary Party.” Above all, it called for war against what Weatherman called “Amerika.” Why is that significant today? Because the authors of the document, the leaders of Weathermen, were Mark Rudd, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, and others.

Weatherman’s first public act was what it called “Days of Rage.” It called on students to leave their classrooms and engage in three days of violence and street demonstrations. They smashed windows of businesses and cars, and attacked police lines. Mark Rudd himself was arrested in Chicago while leading the violence. The results of the three days of violence were 287 people arrested, 800 automobiles damaged, and 600 windows smashed. The combined bail was over $2 million.

In spite of the damage, Weathermen were disappointed with the turnout of demonstrators. They had hoped to bring thousands to the streets, rather than the three to five hundred who turned out. Mark Rudd and the other Weathermen concluded that white people weren’t ready to engage in revolution, as did their “black brothers” in the Black Panthers. To win, decided the Weathermen, whites had to share some of the cost of revolution by “picking up the gun.” To not do so was racist, they believed.

That decision led Weatherman leaders Ayers, Dohrn, Rudd, and Jones to make the decision to declare war on “Imperialist Amerika” by going underground to foster direct violence against the state. They then became known as the “Weather Underground.”

During their reign of terror, the Weather Underground bombed corporate headquarters, burned ROTC buildings on college campuses, and even planted a bomb in the U.S. Capitol building. They used anti-personnel bombs filled with nails, staples, and other shrapnel designed to hurt and kill people. Several of those bombs were planted in police stations, resulting in the murder of Police Sgt. Brian McDonnell in San Francisco; another officer was permanently maimed and two others were injured in that attack. A police informant, Larry Grathwohl, working inside the Weather Underground, reported that Bill Ayers planned the bombing and Bernardine Dohrn planted it. There were more such bombings in other cities. Later, Mark Rudd was the sole survivor of a bomb explosion that went off as he was building it in a Weather Underground safe house in New York. That bomb and more were to be placed in a dance hall at the Fort Dix Army base. They would have killed hundreds of soldiers and their dates."

"But what does that have to do with today? And how does it connect to Barack Obama? The bad boys and girls of the Sixties like to portray themselves as just some college kids that got a little carried away. It’s in the past, says the news media. It has nothing to do with today — or Barack Obama, say his supporters.

It is vital that Americans understand that these were dedicated revolutionaries determined to destroy America, by violence if necessary. They used every means possible to recruit America’s youth into their revolt. They marched in the street, chanted pro-Mao slogans, started riots, disrupted schools, burned college buildings, and eventually bombed symbols of the American establishment they hated, resulting in the deaths and maiming of police officers sworn to protect it.

These were not just over-active college kids. The agenda they followed sought to destroy every aspect of American life. They hated private property and wanted it all redistributed with no ownership — like the communes they chose to live on. They hated free enterprise and wanted all business run by the workers — no bosses, no owners. The only private business they would tolerate were those run by individuals that could hire no one. They knew to achieve these things they had to start by changing the history taught to a young generation in the schools. They hated religion and wanted to run it out of the country. They hated the family unit, saying it subjugated women, who should be liberated. They sought to build divides between the rich and the poor, creating a class struggle in America that really didn’t exist before. And they didn’t hesitate to use violence to achieve their goals. (Compare all of those goals to the real policies coming out of the Obama White House).

When the violence failed, the Weatherman core and their followers didn’t give up or fade away. They remained underground in a new way. They melded into society. Some took teaching positions in colleges to reach that younger generation. Others took jobs in the media to take control of its message. Many more worked their way up in the hated corporations to gain control of policy. And still more surged into government at all levels, boring into the core of America, to impose their agenda at every chance, from the Federal government to state legislatures to city councils. Today, for example, we have Congressman Bobby Seal, one of the infamous Chicago Eight; and State Senator Tom Hayden, the founder of the SDS and another of the Chicago Eight.

It’s interesting to note that a great number of the members of the “revolution” went into the environmental movement. Unable to get Americans to outright accept Marxist ideology in their revolution, instead they wrapped it all in a nice green blanket of environmental protection."
