There is an old adage that says the best jokes are the ones rooted in truth. If they weren't, they wouldn't make sense and therefore, wouldn't be funny. During his opening monologue, comedian Jay Leno cracked a joke about Barack Obama's inability to understand economics. The joke resonated with the audience which laughed and applauded. Following the old adage, it stands to reason that Obama truly does have a problem understanding economics.
Now, consider the words of Larry Grathwohl who, in 1969 became the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground for the FBI. He moved in those circles for nearly a year and knew what Bill Ayers truly believed and thought. In perhaps the most haunting account of the Weather Underground, Grathwohl explained what he heard at a meeting which included Ayers.
Since Obama's 2008 campaign revealed a relationship he had with Ayers, the president has attempted to distance himself from that relationship. Grathwohl was either ignored or smeared. The truth is that the relationship between Obama and Ayers was much closer than he wanted anyone to know; that is an irrefutable fact and Leno may have inadvertently contributed to demonstrating it.
I have posted the video from 1982 below before but pay attention to what Grathwohl says beginning at the :20 mark:
"I brought up the subject of what's going to happen after we take over the government. You know, we, we become responsible then for administrating you know, 250 million people. And there was no answers. No one had given any thought to economics - how are you going to clothe and feed these people?"
No thought to economics - something else Obama and Ayers share in common.
Comparisons of Barack Obama to Hitler and Stalin appear to be going somewhat mainstream in one respect, thanks to Vice President Joe Biden's announcement that 'the president is going to act' on gun control. The implication was clear - the road to confiscation includes Executive Orders, which are unconstitutional, especially when they do not enforce existing laws enacted by Congress. Such orders are beyond unconstitutional when they target the second amendment itself.
After Biden's comments, it wasn't difficult to make the connection to Hitler and Stalin in this regard - both confiscated guns before committing mass murder by the millions.
Fast forward to the 2008 election campaign. One figure from Obama's past whom he attempted to distance himself from was Bill Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground. Despite the successful attempts by Obama to dismiss his relationship with Ayers - coupled with media complicity in suppressing it - the fact remains that these two men had a rather lengthy and cozy relationship. That's not only relevant based on Ayers' terrorist background but it's also relevant based on his plans, conveyed in 1969.
Ayers remains unrepentant, which means that Obama worked closely (yes, closely) with someone who had no regrets about his actions or his intentions.
Consider the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground for the FBI. His name is Larry Grathwohl and video of him from 1982 surfaced just before Barack Obama was elected in 2008. In that video, Grathwohl said the plans of Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground included the elimination of 25 million people who 'could not be re-educated into the new way of thinking'.
Sound familiar? Here's the relevant excerpt of Grathwohl's interview from 1982:
The typical argument from the left is that Ayers and Obama were nowhere close to being friends; they just coincidentally served on boards together and handled hundreds of thousands of dollars between them.
As I've written in the past and go into detail in my book, Unsung Davids, which includes a chapter on Grathwohl, perhaps the most damning evidence that connects Obama with Ayers was a find by the Verum Serum blog in 2008. Through a series of screen shots and tax records, it was unequivocally proven that Ayers and Obama shared a business address for at minimum, three years (1995-1998).
That address was 115 South Sangamon Street, third floor, Chicago, IL. Here is a screen shot of that building. Note how the word H-O-P-E is spelled out in four windows... on the third floor.
People may be inclined to compare Obama's desire to confiscate guns to that of Hitler and Stalin but they should also be willing to compare Ayers' desire to commit mass murder to the desire of Hitler and Stalin to do the same thing.
Then, for good measure, consider how close the relationship between Obama and Ayers must have been if they shared an office for at least three years.
Remember, in 2008, Obama was asked about his relationship with Bill Ayers no more than once by the fawning mainstream media; it was during a debate with Hillary Clinton. Obama dismissed the notion saying that Ayers was little more than 'a guy who lives in my neighborhood.' Well, now we know that this particular guy who lives in Obama's neighborhood held a 4th of July BBQ in 2005 that Obama attended.
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Barack Obama disavowed any connection with former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground radical who was one of Obama's early backers and his colleague on the board of the Woods Fund in Chicago. We now have proof that Obama's association with Ayers continued even after Obama had been elected to represent Illinois in the U.S. Senate--in the form of a now-scrubbed blog post placing Obama at the home of Ayers and his wife, fellow radical Bernardine Dohrn, on July 4, 2005.
Of course, Obama and Ayers shared a business office for no less than three years, beginning in 1995. His 2005 visit to Ayers' home would make that, at minimum, Obama's 2nd visit in ten years, with the first known visit taking place in 1995, when Obama's political career was launched there. This means that the two men had a combined working and personal relationship that spanned no less than an entire decade.
There were plenty of us in 2008 who saw this relationship with Ayers not just disturbing but potentially very dangerous, in part because of the revelations of the only man who successfully infiltrated the Weather Underground for the FBI - Larry Grathwohl. This video of Grathwohl in 1982 continues to take on added significance each time more information about the Obama / Ayers relationship is revealed.
Remember, Ayers has not renounced his terrorist acts. Obama attended a Bill Ayers BBQ four years after 9/11, which was also four years after a magazine cover showed Ayers standing on a crumpled American flag. This video shook many of us to the core four years ago and though we tried to sound the alarm bells, not enough listened. That, and McCain told us we had no reason to fear an 'Obama presidency.'
On a side note, here is Obama's 2008 exchange with Hillary. It's just plain laughable for anyone to assert that Obama wasn't lying here.
At the very least, this was an extremely poor decision on the part of whoever made it. That is, if Barack Obama has an interest in fighting back against the "communist," "socialist," and "marxist" labels that so many have affixed to his ideology. Then again, it's out in the open now so if no one is fired for choosing the word, "Forward" for his latest campaign video, it's a sign that Obama has no problem with it, even in light of its history of being used by the Nazis and Marxists of Europe.
The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.
Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."
"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.
The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.
The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word "Forward" with the "O" having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign's official beginning.
There have been at least two radical-left publications named "Vorwaerts" (the German word for "Forward"). One was the daily newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany's SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication.
Another very disturbing coincidence is that Barack Obama colleague, Bill Ayers, had a goal of eliminating 25 Million Americans who couldn't be "re-educated," according to Larry Grathwohl.
Via GWP, here is a Hitler youth video entitled, you guessed it, "Forward."
If you thought the OWS crowd was gone after its nationwide protests fizzled late last year, it did not. They went dormant and have spent the majority of the winter festering inside their warm worm holes, thinking of ways to hit back harder this spring. Here is one example in Phoenix.
As is the case in all Alinsky-style movements, targets need to be specific and ever changing because, as Rule number 7 States:
A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.
Translation: You can only pick on the Koch brothers for so long before you have to go after someone else.
Enter another target; it's called ALEC or the American Legislative Exchange Council. It is a group made up of capitalist-minded state legislators and policy advocates.
Note what this useful idiot is calling for here. He wants all ALEC officials to be tried and sentenced to "manual labor" that is intended to fix all the damage that such officials are allegedly responsible for. In essence, what OWS in Phoenix is calling for here is the re-education of Capitalists
I apologize in advance for being redundant but in light of what OWS Phoenix, which is ironically located in the "American southwest" is advocating, I give you (again) the video of Larry Grathwohl in 1982. This video needs to be watched as many times as it takes to get the reality of what we're facing to sink in.
Grathwohl was the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground, founded by none other than Barack Obama friend and colleague, Bill Ayers. In this clip, he explains exactly what Ayers' group intended to do after taking down the United States government. Notice how many "capitalists" the Weather Underground intended to "eliminate" if they couldn't be "re-educated" in "centers located in the American southwest."
Before getting into the weeds here, it is important to start with a premise that says the relationship between Barack Obama and former Weather Underground leader, Bill Ayers, was much closer than either has been willing to concede. Ditto the media. After all, both men did share an office together for at least three years.
Now, this video is not new; I've posted it before but it should be viewed in the context of some disturbing current events and developments. Here is Larry Grathwohl in 1982, the only man to successfully infiltrate Ayers' Weather Underground for the FBI (in 1969), describing in great detail, the intentions of the Weather Underground. Grathwohl insists that Ayers, who was at the very top of that terrorist group and to this day is not remorseful, shared this vision:
Here is an excerpt of the video that warrants analysis in light of recent developments:
"...they (WU) expected that the Cubans, the North Vietnamese, the Chinese, and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States. They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the 'counter-revolution' and they felt that this 'counter-revolution' could best be guarded against by creating and establishing re-education centers..."
Fast forward to an article in the American Thinker, penned by Alan P. Halbert just days ago, entitled "New Nationwide FEMA Camps Should Raise Eyebrows." It starts thusly:
Of all the rumors flying around on the internet, one just refuses to die, and it concerns America's FEMA camps.
In a nutshell, there seems to be a solicitation of bids occurring for the staffing of FEMA camps within 72 hours of implementation by an order from either Homeland Security or the president. This situation begs to be investigated, with special consideration paid to the motives of the present administration.
Consider Grathwohl's claims that different countries would want to occupy 'different portions' of the United States. In essence, this would require partitioning the United States into regions. FEMA has done that with its camps:
The staffing requirements or cadre for FEMA personnel for these camps -- which are identified as being located in five (5) distinct regions throughout and within the borders of the USA, with camps located in each and every state -- was three to fifteen each. The size of these camps will vary around 5 acres per 1,000 inhabitants, though they will never be less than 3 acres for populations of 500 or fewer inhabitants within the camps' boundaries.
Ostensibly, these camps are to be used in the aftermath of natural disasters but Halbert concludes with a head-scratching question in that regard:
To sum up: the solicitation to bid for the staffing of FEMA camps within 72 hours is a curious proposition, since it appears to predict a calamity that will affect the entire nation simultaneously --completely unlike a location-specific natural disaster.
There are two other developments - one completed, the other pending - that should be a source of concern. First, on New Year's Eve, Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which allows him to detain American citizens, with the only caveat being that those citizens be identified as 'terrorists.'
In his last official act of business in 2011, President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act from his vacation rental in Kailua, Hawaii. In a statement, the president said he did so with reservations about key provisions in the law — including a controversial component that would allow the military to indefinitely detain terror suspects, including American citizens arrested in the United States, without charge.
The next item of concern is the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Red State's Erick Erickson is so angered by this piece of legislation that he has pledged to do all he can to unseat a staunch conservative in Congress - Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) - for co-sponsoring it with Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL):
The Act intends to stop online piracy. The way the Act goes about doing this is, in large part, allowing Eric Holder to take control of the internet and shut down websites he does not like. It is a totalitarian response from a bipartisan coalition of Congresscritters most of whom admit they have no freaking idea how the internet even works.
Holder would be given the authority to shut down dissent, Obama already has the authority to detain Americans without cause, and the infrastructure necessary for Bill Ayers' sick vision is, to some degree, theoretically in place.
This brings us back to something Halbert points to as reason for concern - "the motives of the present administration."
Usually, whenever Hitler is brought into an argument, the person who does so loses the argument. It's known as Godwin's Law. The USAAmmo ad goes there with Obama by comparing him to Hitler AND Stalin. Normally, I would ascribe to Godwin's Law but there are two very significant realities that currently exist which warrant extending USAAmmo a small amount of grace.
First, it is an ad against gun control and it IS true that Obama, like the dictators pictured in the ad, has a soft spot for gun grabbing. In fact, the failed operation Fast and Furious is looking more and more like an attempt to foment the political culture that would help achieve it. Get the ATF to make gun store owners sell guns to bad guys who would put them in the hands of drug cartels so the latter could kill people. The narrative would be that gun crimes in Mexico were the result of evil gun store owners in the United States.
While that remains to be fully proven, the evidence has been creeping that way for nearly a year now, since Border Agent Brian Terry's murder.
Second, while there is no historical evidence that Obama has Hitlerian goals, there is stone cold evidence that his buddy William Ayers did. In fact, Ayers wanted to throw all capitalists into re-education centers and estimated that 25 million Americans would have to be 'eliminated' for being unteachable.
Here is FBI Informant Larry Grathwohl:
By the way, Bill Ayers was recently caught on camera admitting that he launched Barack Obama's political career. Note that the man who would be press Secretary Robert Gibbs tells Chris Matthews that Ayers never threw a fundraiser for Obama.
The ad would have been more definitively accurate if it had shown Hitler, Ayers, and Obama because likening Ayers to Hitler does NOT fall under Godwin's Law. The only difference between Ayers and Hitler is means, not desire. Drawing that distinction and then the connection between Obama and Ayers would have been more effective.
I purposely avoided posting this video because I didn't really want to watch it but after I saw that it's been going viral, I decided to take a look. The call for the guillotine is interesting for sure because it carries with it, the implication that we need another French Revolution, which was the manifestation of evil. However, what caught my attention even more was Roseanne's reference to re-education camps. She didn't just refer to them; she mirrored the rhetoric of Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground from 1969, when she said that anyone who could not be reeducated would have to be killed. Details about that after you watch Roseanne.
Rewind to 1982. Larry Grathwohl, the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground, appeared in a documentary where he relayed what he heard Bill Ayers and company say. According to Grathwohl, the plan was to overthrow the US Government and open 'Reeducation centers' in the American southwest. Those centers were to be filled with capitalists and any of them who could not be reeducated would have to be eliminated (killed). The estimate was 25 Million people.
See for yourselves (starts at the 1:10 mark):
I have one very simple question. Where did Roseanne Barr learn this?
This is a symbolic victory at worst and a tangible one at best. The success of Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers has been attributable to apathy on the part of Americans as much as anything else. He is a man who committed acts of terrorism and advocated the death of 25 million people if you believe the testimony of the only man to infiltrate the Weather Underground - Larry Grathwohl.
Obama's affiliation with Ayers should have wrecked his campaign; it did not in large part because of public apathy and a deceptive media.
When we see increased protests of Bill Ayers, it will be a very good sign that the public is waking up to who he really is.
STATESBORO, Ga. - William Ayers, a 1960s-era radical who drew attention during the 2008 presidential campaign because he once served on a charity board with Barack Obama, spoke about freedom of speech and education reform to a group that included members of an organization protesting his appearance.
Ayers, a former University of Illinois professor, spoke Monday night at Georgia Southern University. He said academic freedom is needed so that unconventional ideas can be heard.
Members of a group called the Sons of Liberty turned up to protest, then went inside to listen after being told they could not conduct a demonstration on campus because they had not registered in advance.
h/t to Barrackaid #34. Though this protest could be a flash in the pan, Bill Ayers once wrote a book entitled 'Prairie Fire,' which was a reference to an old Maoist saying about only needing a spark to start one.
Same applies with exposing Bill Ayers. Here is Grathwohl discussing his time with the Weather Underground for a 1982 film.
To those who are familiar with the Weather Underground, the sentiment expressed by Ayers in this radio interview is not earth-shattering but it does underscore the points made by the likes of the man who infiltrated the Weather Underground for the FBI in late 1969 / early 1970, Larry Grathwohl. Keep in mind that Grathwohl chronicled his experience in great detail in his book, Bringing Down America in 1976.
Among his claims, which he testified to under oath, was that Bill Ayers told him and others that Bernadine Dohrn planted the bomb that exploded outside a window of the Park Police station in San Francisco on February 16, 1970. That bomb took the life of police officer Brian McDonnell. Grathwohl's testimony was further corroborated on September 16, 2009 when writer Peter Jamison reported that two retired FBI agents had come forward with more evidence that involved two witnesses.
With that as a backdrop, listen to Ayers today, via The Blaze:
On October 23rd, Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival attended 'Green Fest' in Washington, D.C. In attendance was none other than Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn as well as Code Pink's Media Benjamin. This event was fresh off the heels of an exhaustive report completed by Kincaid in which he explored the extremely likely possibility that Bernadine Dohrn planted the bomb that killed San Francisco police officer Brian McDonnell in February of 1970. Larry Grathwohl, whom you hear Kincaid refer to in the first video was an FBI informant at the time and testified under oath that Bill Ayers told him Dohrn planted that bomb.
I posted the first video before but here are all three including comments from Kincaid at America's Survival: Kincaid: Video One: Bernardine Dohrn, who praised the Manson Family mass murders, tells America's Survival, Inc. President Cliff Kincaid to get away when he questions her about her involvement in the bombing murder of Police Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell. "Preposterous," she says., Her husband Bill Ayers (with the ear ring) rescues her from Kincaid. Finally, a Dohrn groupie grabs Kincaid's camera and it goes black. The beginning of the video shows Dohrn talking with Medea Benjamin of Code Pink. She calls Kincaid the "pack of lies guy" because of his questions during the question-and-answer period following their remarks.
Kincaid: Video Two: Dohrn says she is not insane or a murderer. Ayers and Dohrn talk about revolutionary movements at Green Fest and denounce questions from Cliff Kincaid as a "pack of lies." The questions were about Dohrn praising the Manson Family murders and the dedication of their Praire Fire Manifesto to Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert F. Kennedy. Dohrn talks about "our past" and the "handouts" distributed by Cliff Kincaid and Trevor Loudon about their involvement in terrorism. She says they are "pawns" to get at Obama.
Kincaid: Video Three: "Green Fest" conference organizer Kevin Danaher (of Global Exchange) tells Cliff Kincaid that he won't talk on the record about why they invited unrepentant communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn to their event The silence is deafening. "Do you want to stay in the event?" Danaher asks, implying that Kincaid could be booted out. "Are you going to call the police on me?" Kincaid asks.
Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival was at the Green Fesitval on October 23rd and confronted both Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers over the murder of San Francisco police officer Brian McDonnell. First, he confronts Dohrn as the latter is talking with Code Pink's Media Benjamin. After getting more than just a little defensive and upon hearing the name Larry Grathwohl, Bill Ayers shows up to run interference. Take note of how red he is. Kincaid and Grathwohl have the truth on their side and these two derelicts know it.
Notice what Ayers says after Kincaid asks him a fact-based question. He doesn't answer it at all; he simply calls Kincaid delusional.
It's amazing to watch this Obama Justice Department rack up cases it refuses to prosecute - like the voter intimidation case involving the Black Panthers - or the bogus ones it files - like suing Arizona for enforcing its own immigration law. There is another one that has been around for 40 years that consists of mounting evidence that Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn were involved in the murder of a San Francisco police officer named Brian McDonnell on February 16, 1970.
FBI Informant Larry Grathwohl testified under oath that Bill Ayers told him that Dohrn placed the bomb in front of the Park Police station that killed McDonnell. This is not new but evidence continues to mount and there is no statue of limitations on murder. Via World Net Daily:
"My greatest fear today is that the Department of Justice (under Obama appointee Eric Holder) will protect these terrorists by blocking an attempt to bring them to justice," Grathwohl said. "Consider that President Obama held his first fundraiser at the home of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn when he was running for the state Senate in Illinois.
"Do you think there might be some resistance to placing these two people on trial for the murder of Brian McDonnell? These are President Obama's friends. He and Bill served on a board and appeared at functions together."
Grathwohl said a resolution would be for Congress to act.
"I urge the new Congress to create a committee or subcommittee to facilitate the efforts of law enforcement in bringing terrorists to justice. For example, a new House Internal Security Committee can assist in that regard. The Senate could consider reinstating a Senate Internal Security subcommittee. Such committees should also investigate the groups that represent a current danger to the internal security of this country," he said.
It was reported last year that the DOJ and local law enforcement put pressure on a group of retired San Francisco police officers to stop talking about this case but a group known as the Phoenix task force has remained undeterred in its efforts to investigate.
Of the McDonnell bombing, Grathwohl has quoted Ayers saying, "It was a success. But it's a shame when someone like Bernardine has to make all the plans, make the bomb and then place it herself. She should have to do only the planning."
In the conference remarks, Grathwohl said, "The charges have not yet been brought in this 'cold case' but I can tell you that a law enforcement entity called the Phoenix Task Force is working to solve the murder of Sergeant McDonnell as well as other police officers who died in the line of duty during that period of Weather Underground violence and terrorism."
Grathwohl continued, "Justice can still be done. And that is why I am here today. I have recently met with the lieutenant in charge of the Phoenix Task Force. … He assures me that the effort remains focused and the motivation is to gather the evidence and bring the killers to justice. I should add that the murder of Sergeant John Young by the Black Liberation Army when they attacked the Ingleside Police Station in 1971 has been solved and successfully prosecuted."
As this conservative ascendancy continues, if the Phoenix Task Force brings enough evidence to the fore one day, perhaps justice will be done. In either case, this is yet another headache for Eric Holder.
HERE are Grathwohl's prepared remarks at the October 21st conference.
Cliff Kincaid, president of USA Survival has just completed an exhaustive expose into the Marxism that is running all through this country and at the highest levels of government. As part of this report, Kincaid interviewed two people about their knowledge of the Park Station Police office in San Francisco in early 1970. There is strong evidence that Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are responsible for that bombing, which killed police officer Brian McDonnell.
Kincaid interviewed former FBI investigator Max Noel and FBI informant Larry Grathwohl, who penetrated the Weather Underground. Both testified under oath in the 1970's about what they knew regarding the bombing. Kincaid's interview with Noel and Grathwohl is in seven parts. You're urged and encouraged to check them out. The case of Brian McDonnell is still open - in fact, there's still a $100,000 reward for information leading to arrests.
VIEW for yourselves and see if you think it's possible that Ayers and Dohrn got away with killing a cop.

On balance, when it comes to television, Glenn Beck is doing far more than anyone else to expose the radical agenda of the left. No one else is willing to dig as deep as he does. O'Reilly still has the culture warriors and games with cards on popsicle sticks; Hannity is better but how much is Bob Beckel really adding to the discussion with his repeated appearances? Besides, Beckel appears more interested in looking at himself on the off-screen monitor than in actually contributing anything substantive. Greta has gotten better in the last year but Beck has separated himself from all of them.
Beck is on-target about 90%-95% of the time. This week, we're witnessing part of that 5%-10% I'm afraid, relative to his three part series on the Weather Underground. The foundation for his series, designed to shine a light on the plans of the radicals in and around the White House is the Weather Underground's manifesto, right here:
The problem with this series so far - only two of the three parts have aired as of this writing - is that the one man Beck should have with him on the set but hasn't even been mentioned is the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground for the FBI, Larry Grathwohl. That said, I have it on good authority that Grathwohl has not been contacted to this point and it is highly unlikely that he will appear.
Beck's decision not to incorporate a live appearance by Grathwohl into this series is made all the more curious by the fact that we know Beck is well aware of Grathwohl; he aired the shocking two minute clip of him from 1982 back on June 10th of this year. Here is a video portion of that segment:
A subsequent appearance by Grathwohl never came, though I know he would be willing to make that appearance.
The intent of this series is obviously to take viewers inside the motives of Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, and Mark Rudd. What did they have planned? What were they like when they were being themselves? What things did they say before they had been "made clean", as Beck likes to say, so they would appear upstanding? With the manifesto in his hands, Beck has a window into that world but Grathwohl was INSIDE that world; no one else shares his experience. Why on earth would Beck not have him on the set LIVE as an integral part of this series?
There are, no doubt, aspects of that manifesto that Beck either might get wrong or not explain completely enough. Grathwohl can do that too.
As a last bone of contention for me, Beck held up a copy of the Weather Underground's book, "Prairie Fire" for the audience to see and no one can sell books better than Glenn Beck. I'm sure he sold quite a few of them by displaying it and discussing it for his audience. Bill Ayers is quite the wealthy terrorist these days and I'm sure he loved the plug. On the other hand, Grathwohl has a book too - though you'd never know it. Beck never mentioned it.
Grathwohl is the hero and Ayers is the villain. Why wouldn't Beck hold up Grathwohl's book for the audience to see? Why wouldn't he place him in a chair on the set for the audience to see and hear?
Here is the full two minute clip of Grathwohl in 1982.
As I was traveling on I20 late Thursday night, I caught the audio of this episode of Glenn Beck on Sirius. As I heard him refer to Larry Grathwohl and then play the two minute video clip from 1982 of the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground, a Bruce Willis line from 'Die Hard' came to mind:
"WELCOME TO THE PARTY, PAL!"
Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled that Glenn Beck discovered this video of Grathwohol. However, it was making the rounds on the internet before the 2008 elections. In fact, a link to the video was presented to Bill O'Reilly's producers. Though O'Reilly proceeded to interview Grathwohl in October of 2008, he never once asked Grathwohl about the shocking claims he made on the 1982 video. Instead, it was the usual questions about Bill Ayers being an unrepentant terrorist.
I have one question for Bill O'Reilly. Why didn't you uncover then what Beck is uncovering now? The photo of Grathwohl that Beck uses at the beginning of this clip is a still shot of Grathwohl's appearance on O'Reilly before the 2008 election. It was quite uneventful not because Grathwohl had nothing to offer but because O'Reilly avoided an extremely important story.
In light of Bill Clinton's comments last week drawing parallels between the Tea Party movement and the anti-government sentiment prior to the Oklahoma CIty bombing, this takes on added significance. While speaking at an event for the Young Democratic Socialists (YDS), ACORN head Bertha Lewis expresses love for anyone who is young and socialist.
Don't stop watching there. Lewis says some alarming things about the Tea Party movement's plans to unleash their "racism", thereby ushering in a time worse than McCarthyism or internment during WWII.
Considering the founder of ACORN - Wade Rathke - was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a group that gave birth to Bill Ayers' Weather Underground, one can find strong similarities between the old SDS and YDS, where Lewis was speaking. Take particular note of Lewis expressing her fear of the Tea Party movement opening up internment camps.
After watching that, take a look at this. The only evidence of any plans for camps comes from the far left. Remember, the Weather Underground was formed when the SDS splintered. Larry Grathwohl, the only person to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground for the FBI has testified under oath that group's leadership, including Bill Ayers, planned on sending capitalists to re-education centers and eliminating 25 million people.
At 10:45pm on February 16th, 1970 inside the Park Police station in San Francisco, CA an officer by the name of Brian McDonnell was standing at the Teletype machine. A co-worker named Frank Rath was seated nearby. As Rath leaned back in his chair to relax, a bomb loaded with inch-long fence staples on a nearby ledge outside exploded right in front of McDonnell.
Rath escaped death by leaning backward moments before the blast but McDonnell wasn't so lucky. Staples severed his jugular and lodged in his brain. He died days later. Officer James Pera was one of the first on the scene. He was 24 years old at the time and revered McDonnell as a mentor.
No one has been arrested for the murder of McDonnell. Over the years, two groups have been suspected - the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army, an offshoot of the Black Panthers.
On September 16th, AN ARTICLE by Peter Jamison was published in San Francisco Weekly that has some astonishingly new revelations from this nearly 40 year-old case.
speaking publicly for the first time about the investigation, former FBI agents have told SF Weekly the basis for their belief that the Weather Underground was behind McDonnell's murder. The agents have revealed that two credible eyewitnesses — both former left-wing radicals tied to the Weathermen — gave detailed statements to investigators in the 1970s alleging that Dohrn and Howard Machtinger, another member of the group, were personally involved in organizing the deadly attack. Both witnesses claimed to have participated in meetings where the bombing was planned, and one confessed to having cased the police station for the Weathermen prior to the explosion.
Larry Grathwohl successfully infiltrated the Weather Underground for the FBI and testified under oath in the 1970's that Bill Ayers told him that Bernadine Dohrn was responsible for the Park Police station bombing. Grathwohl's account was that Ayers was attempting to demonstrate how a woman was doing more than the rest of the male members of the group.
Grathwohl vindicated? Based on information uncovered by Willie Reagan, a retired FBI agent who has been working on a task force that is investigating the bombing, it appears that the credibility of Grathwohl's story has been significantly bolstered. Two witnesses, whose stories Reagan came across while going through documents provide that additional credibility. Matthew Landy Steen, who was a writer for an underground newspaper and Karen Latimer, a former Weather Underground member who was willing to testify in return for immunity.
Steen told agents he had attended a Bay Area meeting in January 1970 at which half a dozen Weather Underground activists discussed their plans to plant a bomb at Park Police Station. Among those Steen placed at the meeting were Dohrn, the Weather Underground's charismatic leader; and Machtinger, who investigators believed to be one of the group's principal bomb technicians.
Also in the case file were multiple forms from interviews with a former Weather Underground member named Karen Latimer. In the mid-1970s, years after Steen spoke to the FBI, Latimer came forward to say that she had attended a separate planning session for the Park Station attack with Dohrn and Machtinger in the winter of 1970.
Jamison reports that prosecutors were very close to filing charges based solely on Latimer's testimony.
Latimer claimed to have personally cased the station, and could describe the package that had held the explosive device before it had gone off. "It was just too detailed," the investigator familiar with the case said. "It was A to Z without leaving out L and M. I was convinced."
I will be delving into this story much further on my September 20th program. In particular, I'll be taking a look at the role of current Attorney General Eric Holder. When you consider all of the things he's done / not done in light of these findings, perhaps some hard questions need to be asked relative to his motivations.
Be sure to read the ENTIRE ARTICLE by Jamison. Calling it eye-opening is an understatement.
On Friday, September 18th, I had the opportunity to interview both Larry Grathwohl and James Pera on these new findings. You can listen to the interview by CLICKING HERE (starts at approximately the 18:15 mark).
Lastly, if Grathwohl's testimony is vindicated, so is his credibility. If his credibility is vindicated, shouldn't more people view this clip of him from 1982 in which he discusses the intentions of the Weather Underground based on his first hand accounts from their meetings?
Larry Grathwohl is the ONLY man who successfully infiltrated Bill Ayers' Weather Underground for the FBI. Bill Ayers has a history of avoiding him because of what he knows that Grathwohl knows. In fact, Grathwohl has testified under oath about what he witnessed.
One thing Grathwohl testified to was being present in meetings where Ayers and other Weather Underground Leaders (which included graduates of Columbia) discussed the elimination of 25 million people (Capitalists) who could not be "re-educated".
So what is the significance of the recent news that RUSSIAN SUBMARINES are patrolling along the east coast of the United States? Maybe minimal but hardly insignificant.
A pair of nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines has been patrolling off the eastern seaboard of the United States in recent days, a rare mission that has raised concerns inside the Pentagon and intelligence agencies about a more assertive stance by the Russian military.
Enter Larry Grathwohl.
As you watch this 1982 video, please listen for how Ayers' group wanted to use Russia to help overthrow the United States Government...
Ayers is a self-professed marxist and anarchist who believes in bloody revolutions to achieve his goals as evidenced by his unrepentant past. On the other hand, Barack Obama's ideological hero (Saul Alinsky) believed in "GRADUALISM":
Alinsky's tactics were based, not on Stalin's revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci's transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.
To even the casual observer, Barack Obama may be acting quickly but he is also applying gradualism. Frankly, it's been a political necessity for him to get to this point.
This leads me to ask, "How would Bill Ayers run the country if HE were president?" He is an unrepentant violent revolutionary and assuming that Grathwohl is telling the truth, wouldn't Bill Ayers solicit the help of the Russians and other anti-capitalist nations if he were going to carry out his version of a revolution? Grathwohl's testimony bolsters that assertion.
This is why relationships matter. Barack Obama and Bill Ayers know each other far better than either is willing to admit. VERUM SERUM discovered last October that Obama and Ayers shared a business address for at least three years at 115 South Sangamon St. in Chicago from 1995-1998. Also sharing that address was Chinese Maoist Mike Klonsky. This doesn't even factor in Obama's career getting launched in Ayers' home, Obama writing a glowing review of Ayers' book on juvenile justice, Obama on a Board with Ayers, and Michelle Obama setting up a panel in 1997 on which Barack and Ayers were speakers.
Barack Obama is starting to unmask himself right now and the American people are starting to loudly reject his health care plans. He is also reported to have said that if his health care plan doesn't pass, it could "destroy" his presidency.
My point is simply this. Obama HAD to have known about Bill Ayers' past. Obama also had a member of the Communist Party USA as his childhood mentor (Frank Marshall Davis) who amassed a 600 page FBI file and was under FBI investigation for 19 years, making their security index.
Cliff Kincaid of USA SURVIVAL has done extensive work on Davis.
Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
Obama's mentor wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army?
Did I mention there are two nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines on patrol along our east coast? ////
