Eyewitness to the Ayers Revolution

Here is a wake-up call:

Pajamas Media: You stated in your interview in No Place to Hide that you wanted us to “imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.” A lot of people have now had the opportunity to listen to you, and contemplate the horrors these people planned. Can you recall who these people are by name, and who the ringleaders of this plan were?

Larry Grathwohl: Conversations regarding this occurred in Cincinnati, Detroit, Flint, and Buffalo. Participants included Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Mark Rudd, Linda Evans, Jeff Jones, and many others.

Pajamas Media: Was this merely an academic matter to them, or were they serious about killing 25 million Americans that would not bend to their political will?

Larry Grathwohl: I suppose you could consider this a purely academic discussion in that the Weathermen never had the opportunity to implement their political ends. However, I can assure you that this was not the case. There was an absolute belief that they, along with the international revolutionary movement, would cause the collapse of the United States and that they would be in charge. Nixon was of great concern and how his end would be conducted. This may sound absurd in today’s context, but the Weatherman believed they would succeed.

Pajamas Media: Did they ever devise a cover story to explain to the rest of America how roughly one in ten disappeared?

Larry Grathwohl: When I suggested that this might be a difficult proposition they looked at me like I had three heads. They would be in charge! They would be in control! Who would oppose them? Lambs to the slaughter I guess.

Pajamas Media: Were any of those Weathermen involved in concocting this plan particularly excited or enthusiastic about the death camps, or was it merely a means to an end?

Larry Grathwohl: Of course they were enthusiastic as it was representative of the success of “the revolution.”

Pajamas Media: Scattered news accounts on the Internet note that you were instrumental in foiling Weather Underground attacks in February of 1970, in Detroit. The Weathermen built two bombs targeting the Detroit Police Officers’ Association (DPOA) building and the 13th Precinct. Were the goals of these attacks symbolic property damage as were some other Weathermen attacks, or were these targets selected to kill police officers?

Larry Grathwohl: The instructions I received from Billy Ayers was that the bombs to be used in Detroit must have shrapnel (fence staples, specifically) and fire potential (propane bottles). The intention was to kill police officers.

Pajamas Media: One of the Detroit bombs was to be placed on the side of the DPOA building, and the blast was likely to cause damage to the adjacent Red Barn Restaurant, which had mostly African-American customers. Who ordered the attack, and what did he say when you told him that innocent civilians would be killed?

Larry Grathwohl: When I objected to Billy Ayers that more innocent people would be killed in the restaurant, he replied, “Innocent people have to die in a revolution.” Billy also acknowledged during a criticism session in Buffalo that Bernadine placed the bomb at the Park Police Station which resulted in the death of Police Officer McDonnell.

Pajamas Media: Bill Ayers came out of hiding around 1980, became an college professor, and has served on numerous boards and foundations. Do you think he’s changed in his radicalism?

Larry Grathwohl: Has Billy changed? I hardly think so.

Pajamas Media: If conditions permitted, do you think Ayers would still engage in violence to further a political agenda?

Larry Grathwohl: He has acknowledged his support of anti-American groups and stated he felt that the Weathermen hadn’t done enough.

Pajamas Media: Do you consider Bill Ayers an attempted mass murderer?

Larry Grathwohl: I’m not certain Billy is a mass murder; his ego just wants him to be in charge. Note that Billy never does anything that involves risk. He has no problem allowing his women to do the evil task, Diane Oughton and even Bernardine, but never him. As for what he might do, hasn’t he said he doesn’t rule out the possibility of future bombings? [Ayers said he didn't "want to discount the possibility" in this New York Times article from September 11, 2001. -- Ed.]

Pajamas Media: Would you let your children attend a college or university class taught by Ayers or his wife, Bernadine Dohrn? What would you tell parents who have had their children exposed to Ayers’ academic programs, like the Small Schools Workshop?

Larry Grathwohl: As for Billy’s ideas on education, isn’t it apparent? Reading, writing, and arithmetic aren’t important! Radicalism is what’s important. Fits right in with the Billy Ayers view of creating mindless soldiers to follow his commands — where best to lay the foundations of a revolution than with the young?

Pajamas Media: Do you think there is there any way that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama could not have known that Bill Ayers was a domestic terrorist? Is there any reason that the American people should accept Barack Obama’s newest excuse about his relationship with Bill Ayers, where Obama claimed that he thought Ayers was “reformed”?

Larry Grathwohl: If we are to believe Mr. Obama, he just didn’t know Billy was as radical as he apparently is. Really? Just like he didn’t know the Rev. Wright was as radical as he is? Obama is a politician and he wants me to believe that he never discussed politics with the Rev Wright or Billy Ayers?

Obama Camp Continues to Fight the Smears Until They Become Truths

Let's cut the corn and get to the real facts:

"When I first met Barack Obama, he was giving a standard, innocuous little talk in the livingroom of those two legends-in-their-own-minds, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They were launching him–introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread."

Ayers, Dohrn: 'White supremacy' responsible for America's troubles

"Unrepentant terrorist William Ayers and his wife, onetime federal fugitive Bernardine Dohrn, are releasing a new book that blames whites for the problems in the U.S. since its independence from Great Britain more than two centuries ago.

"According to Amazon.com, the soon-to-be released book, 'Race Course Against White Supremacy,' includes personal essays 'by two veteran political activists' on 'white supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life.'

"Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days – and that it is still very much with us – the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education," the Amazon posting states."

and

"On the Free Republic forum, a contributor wrote:

"'Bill Ayers "gets it." Here's what he understands: One strategy to undermine culture is to discredit its values and history. Of course, reducing American history to a simplistic notion of 'white supremacy' is absurd, but that’s the point. The point is to slowly undermine the confidence of people about the values and history of their own culture so they'll be less willing to defend and protect it. Along the way, you've also created a structure of "them" (so-called "white" people, meaning, in this context, people from western and northern Europe) and "us" (everyone else). This creates internal conflict based on simple, easy to understand qualities like skin color.

"'Eventually, the culture becomes so disillusioned and split apart that an organized cadre of leaders can take control and establish a new kind of society – like the Bolsheviks did in 1917, or the National Socialists in 1933, or the followers of Mao in 1949,' the forum participant wrote."

I AM LIVID.

It was the American criminal justice system that got Ayers off of a criminal charge on a technicality. He is enjoying freedom because of the criminal justice system that he criticizes.

Also too he and his wife are not living in a third-world neighborhood in Chicago. He is living very well amongst the white supremacists he hates so much. Why does he not teach at a black college or university?

Ayers apparent: Is Obama set to realize his mentor's communist takeover plan?

"The only difference between the 1970s William Ayers and the William Ayers with whom Barack Obama has associated, the ZT blog notes, is that Ayers no longer uses violence to achieve his goals.

"But Ayers' underlying political world-view (i.e. communism) has remained the same.

"Ayers has assumed the role of mentor, guide, and facilitator for Obama's career, adopting the promising but unpolished youngster and playing an instrumental role in his cultivation as a political leader."

Prairie Fire, William Ayers Admits To Being A Communist

"They also provide proof that Ayers is the one who wrote the book, Prairie Fire... Ayers himself admits it."

The case against Barack Obama, Part 2

"Brokaw, moderating a debate, asked Obama when American combat forces should be used to quell humanitarian crises that pose no threat to U.S. security. Obama – specifically mentioning Darfur and Rwanda – said, 'When genocide is happening, when ethnic cleansing is happening somewhere around the world and we stand idly by, that diminishes us.' But after a 2007 interview with Obama, the Associated Press wrote, 'Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.' So Obama wants to use our military to stop genocide in Darfur – a tragedy that we did not start. But he wants our military to withdraw in Iraq, possibly resulting in a genocide of our own making. Got that?"

It would be wonderful to see the Bush bashers advocate for Obama's wars (hypocrites).

"Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive." -- Andrew "Andy" Taylor, Former Sherriff, Mayberry, North Carolina

From the O CRAP! department

"Will William Ayers be secretary of education in a Barack Obama administration? All parents should ponder that possibility before making their choice for president on Nov. 4.

"After all, Ayers is a friend of Obama, and professor Ayers's expertise is training teachers and developing public school curriculum. That's been his mission since he gave up planting bombs in government buildings (including the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon) and assaulting police officers."

Anyplace Ayers is in the government would be dangerous.

God help us.

I actually met this woman....

"An FBI informant, Larry Grathwohl, who successfully penetrated the organization from the late summer of 1969 until April 1970, later testified to a U.S. Senate subcommittee that Ayers, then a high-ranking leader of the organization and a member of its Central Committee (but not then Dohrn's husband), told him Dohrn constructed and planted the bomb."

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Obama ‘Doesn't Have an Affiliation with ACORN’

Toobin must not be watching his own network, for CNN investigative correspondent Drew Griffin outlined on October 6 how 'the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said,' including how the two worked together on the board of the Annenberg Challenge Project and the Woods Foundation, and how Obama’s political career began during a meeting at Ayers’s house. While the network omitted ACORN’s name from an October 9 news brief about a raid on the organization’s Las Vegas office, the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s story about the raid acknowledged how ACORN 'has a liberal political agenda and ties to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.'"

Did Ayers' wife kill policeman?

"An FBI informant, Larry Grathwohl, who successfully penetrated the organization from the late summer of 1969 until April 1970, later testified to a U.S. Senate subcommittee that Ayers, then a high-ranking leader of the organization and a member of its Central Committee (but not then Dohrn's husband), told him Dohrn constructed and planted the bomb."


I actually met this woman before Obama met her. I thought she was just a lawyer at the time.

Barack Obama Is No Patriot

"A patriot running for the presidency of the United States should have declined any association with, and support from, rabidly anti-American unrepentant domestic terrorist bomber Bill Ayers, should have written not a 'rave review' of his Marxist tract but rather a denunciation of it, and instead should have expressly and unequivocally denounced Ayers for the dangerous terrorist he is. Barack Obama has done none of these things!"

Bad news, Mr. President ....

"If I applied for a position with the federal government requiring any type of security clearance, my history would be scrupulously investigated by the FBI (or Department of the Treasury and the Department of Defense -- Ed.). Every relationship I had in my past would be examined for any hint of anti-Americanism. With Barack Obama's questionable past relationships with the likes of anti-Americans such as William Ayres, Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan, there would be no question of denied security clearance. How, then, can Obama even be considered for the highest security job in the United States of America?"

Obama has been privy to classified information already as a presidential candidate.

I am very familiar with the investigative process for security clearances. What that writer says is true, however Wright and Farrakhan would not have been considered security risks. William Ayers is a definite red flag, no pun intended.

High Ideals and No Principles

"'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' Ayers wrote in his memoir, 'Fugitive Days,' released the day before the Pentagon was struck again in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.'

"The New York Times reported that Ayers later clarified, saying he didn't actually set the bomb, but was visualizing it to dramatize his participation in organizing the attack.

"In a Times interview published Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers said, 'I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough.' He posed for a photograph accompanying the piece that shows him stepping on an American flag.

The fact that he wanted people dead and said "we didn't do enough" is beside the point. We love him anyway....

Obama partnerships with voter fraud unit and terrorists run wide and deep

"As of this writing, Obama's group ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is currently being actively investigated for voter fraud in at least ten states — these include the swing states in which new ACORN Democrat registrations have been going through the proverbial roof. ACORN has also recently and arrogantly admitted that they know there is voter fraud and that nothing can be done about it. Democrat presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama has been aware of ACORN, almost from the group's inception. Let's take a look...."

Ayers Has Not Left Radicalism Behind

"The reality is, either Obama is naive or he doesn't care that Ayers remains an anti-American radical who would hurt his country."

OBAMA'S TRUTH DEFICIT

"When John Murtagh was 9 years old, Bill Ayers' friends tried to kill him.

"'I remember my mother's pulling me from the tangle of sheets and running to the kitchen where my father stood. Through the large windows overlooking the yard, all we could see was the bright glow of flames below. We didn't leave our burning house for fear of who might be waiting outside,' wrote Murtagh in the April 2008 issue of the City Journal....To the best of John's recollection, Bernardine Dohrn, who is now Bill Ayers' wife, first claimed credit for bombing John's home -- along with other targets -- in November of 1970."

and

"In the Chicago establishment, which unfortunately embraced former domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers and his wife, Barack Obama was encouraged to look beyond the obvious -- John Murtagh, his family, their terror, the lawlessness, the attacks on policemen, judges, army outposts -- to embrace larger goals.

"What were these goals? How does Barack Obama come to continue to associate with a man who cannot bring himself to say to John Murtagh or to John's mother or any other kin of the attacked: 'I'm sorry. I was wrong. It was a terrible thing to do.'"

Obama served on board with Ayers

"Sen. Hillary Clinton then piled on.

“'I also believe that Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position. And, if I’m not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn’t done more.'”

Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism On Schools

"One unsettled question is how Mr. Obama, a former community organizer fresh out of law school, could vault to the top of a new foundation? In response to my questions, the Obama campaign issued a statement saying that Mr. Ayers had nothing to do with Obama's 'recruitment' to the board. The statement says Deborah Leff and Patricia Albjerg Graham (presidents of other foundations) recruited him. Yet the archives show that, along with Ms. Leff and Ms. Graham, Mr. Ayers was one of a working group of five who assembled the initial board in 1994. Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval."

and

"Mr. Obama once conducted 'leadership training' seminars with Acorn, and Acorn members also served as volunteers in Mr. Obama's early campaigns. External partners like the South Shore African Village Collaborative and the Dual Language Exchange focused more on political consciousness, Afrocentricity and bilingualism than traditional education. CAC's in-house evaluators comprehensively studied the effects of its grants on the test scores of Chicago public-school students. They found no evidence of educational improvement."
