White Reds Exploiting Blacks:The Weather Underground, Barack

Obama, and the FundamentalTransformation of the United States Remarks to Americas Survival, Inc. July 19, 2012,

conference

By Larry Grathwohl

On September 11, 2010, Cliff and I sat down with former FBI Weatherman TaskForce supervisor Max Noel for a series of interviews. Max told us that the FBIhad a CARL test when it conducted background checks on people. CARL stood

for Character, Associates, Reputation, and Loyalty. On all four points, BarackObama fails. Like so many former FBI and law enforcement agents and officials,he was alarmed by the fact that someone like Barack Obama could attain thepresidency. Since there was no vetting four years ago, let the vetting begintoday.

I am in a unique position to know Barack Obamas associates. I worked with BillAyers and Bernardine Dohrn in the Weather Underground as an informant for theFBI. I never heard of Obama during my time in the movement, although Iunderstand Joel Gilbert has developed information that Obama was active with aWeather Underground support group, the May 19th Communist Organization, in

New York. That does not surprise me. Obama has associated with communistsall of his life, from Frank Marshall Davis in Hawaii to Alice Palmer, Bill Ayers, andBernardine Dohrn in Chicago. This is a pattern of associations that should havedisqualified him from the presidency.

After I left the Weather Underground and testified against Ayers and Dohrn fortheir involvement in a murder plot that killed Police Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell,they surfaced in Chicago helping Obama launch his political career. Like truecommunists, who have been manipulating black Americans since shortly afterthe Russian revolution, Ayers and Dohrn would have seen revolutionary potentialin Obama. He was, in the words of communist operative Frank Chapman, a

revolutionary mole. Perhaps that term was meant to be more than a figure ofspeech.

You see, Obama was a different kind of Democrat one that would work with thecommunists. He and Danny K. Davis, his old friend and current Congressmanfrom Chicago, were New Party Democrats, working to take over the DemocraticParty from within. That is how Frank Marshall Davis worked in Hawaii to takeover the NAACP and the Democratic Party. These are the tactics of infiltration

now being practiced in a different way by the Muslim Brotherhood and its frontorganizations.

As Trevor points out in his report, that activity in Chicago included working withAlice Palmer, a communist agent with close ties to the old Soviet Union and its

international front organizations. Look, folks, this is no accident.

Many do not seem to understand the revolutionary warfare that engulfs ourcountry at the present time. It is time to get educated and quickly.

Essentially, nothing has changed since the days I was reporting to the FBI. Thecommunists are working with the Arab and Muslim terrorists against the UnitedStates.

I remember one meeting when our Weatherman collective brought up thesubject of the Kennedy assassinations. At least 20 to 25 people were present

and Bill Ayers was one of them. I heard Bill state that the murders of both JohnF. Kennedy and Robert F Kennedy were a good thing because liberalscompromise the conflict between U.S. imperialism and the socialist revolution.Liberals prevent the contradictions from becoming obvious and thus prevent arevolution. Therefore, the assassinations of the Kennedys were to be welcomedas a necessary advance on the road to communist world revolution.

This gives you some idea as to why the political statement of the WeatherUnderground, "Prairie Fire," was dedicated to a number of people, includingSirhan Sirhan, who killed Robert Kennedy. Sirhan Sirhan was a PalestinianMarxist terrorist who had been associated with the Communist Party USA. TheCPUSA was also involved with the Weathermen.

Note that Sirhan Sirhan was from the Middle East while Lee Harvey Oswald wasCaucasian and from Texas. I believe thats why Oswalds name wasn't includedin the dedication for Prairie Fire. You see, white people were not oppressedpeople. Arab terrorists, representing the oppressed people of the Middle East,were allies of the communists from the get-go. And they still are today.

It is possible, of course, that Bill knew something about Oswald that was notacknowledged back then or even today by many people. And that is that hewas a Marxist with a love for the Soviet Union and Cuba who had contacts withintelligence officers from both countries.Oswald had been active in the Fair Playfor Cuba Committee.

Bill and Bernardine certainly had contacts with Castros intelligence service, theDGI. Then, and now, the DGI runs a travel service to Cuba. Then it was knownas the Venceremos Brigades.

The nature of the communist conspiracy is such that we dont know preciselywho knows what. Who was in on the secret about Oswald and Sirhan?

By the same token, who was in on the secret about Obama? Why was the

identity of Frank in Obamas book revealed when communist writer GeraldHorne spilled the beans back in 2007? What was he thinking?

Ladies and gentlemen, these are operations that involve foreign intelligenceservices hostile to the United States and which are prepared to use any tactics,up to and including political assassination, to carry out their plans. They have notgone away.

I look back on those comments by Bill on the Kennedy murders and it helps meunderstand certain things about the communist conspiracy that continues totarget the United States. Blacks can be used for the revolution, but they can besacrificed as part of the revolution as well. Indeed, like the Muslims, they arecannon fodder for the revolution.

Cliff has distributed material from Communist defector Ion Mihai Pacepa, whohas written extensively about Lee Harvey Oswalds role as a KGB agent. Thereis a new book out by former CIA officer Brian Latell which examines a Cubancommunist role in the murder of JFK. That is not surprising; the KGB and DGIworked closely together. We know from intelligence documents that the KGBtook an active interest in the Weathermen, and that Kathy Boudin actuallytraveled to the old Soviet Union. 1 Her father, Leonard Boudin, was a member ofthe Communist Party and registered Cuban agent.

One document states, A person known by the FBI to be maintaining a covertrelationship with the Soviet Intelligence Service (SIS) was active in the SDS in

1969. This person acted as a spotter for SIS. An influential figure in this personslife was a former CPUSA member who also maintained a similar covertrelationship with SIS.

In regard to the killing of Robert Kennedy, Pacepa tells us that he is intrigued bythe part of Sirhan Sirhans diary in which he professes his love for communismand states that the U.S. "decline" began on November 23, 1963 -- -he day afterJFK was killed by Oswald.

The murder of the Kennedys certainly spelled the virtual end of the day whenanti-communist liberals were dominant in the Democratic Party. Obama is thatnew breed of Democrat.

From the start, it was clear to me that the communists were always looking for ablack figurehead to do their bidding.

As you may know, Bill and Bernardine wrote a book in 2009 titled Race CouseAgainst White Supremacy. They see Obama as a tool, a puppet, against whiteAmerica, which is the evil villain. The publishers statement in the book says:

Our work, the work of Ayers and Dohrn and tens of millions ofothers made it possible for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to runfor the Presidency. And President Obamas successful campaignstarted on the streets of Chicago.

One of Bernardines chapters in Race Course Against White Supremacy istitled The Modern Slave Ship. It is almost entirely about her experiences whenshe went to jail for refusing to provide an example of her handwriting to a grand

jury that was investigating a Brinks armored car robbery that resulted in the

deaths of one guard and two police officers. Bernardine was suspected ofsupplying the false identification for the individuals involved in this robbery, whichwas a combined operation by members of the Black Liberation Army and theWeather Underground. Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert were the Weathermenwho were sent to prison, which resulted in their son Chesa being adopted andraised by Bernardine and Bill.

Ayers and Dohrn named their other children in honor of a Black Panther andMalcolm X.

But one of the officers killed in that Brinks robbery, Waverly Brown, was black.

Let me give you some background on their campaign against white supremacy.

In the summer of 1969 Bernardine Dohrn and several other members of theWeatherman faction of the SDS returned to Canada after having traveled toCuba to meet with the North Vietnamese and the Cuban DGI. During themeetings with the North Vietnamese and the Cubans, Bernardine and herassociates were strongly criticized for what was presented to them as "white skinprivilege." They were also told that they were not truly revolutionaries as theyhad not made a total commitment to forming a viable underground which couldcarry out strategic sabotage.

Additionally, they were referred to as "white skinned intellectuals" that wereplaying at revolution. To a significant degree this was true, as most of themembers of the Weathermen came from upper-middle-class or upper-classbackgrounds and had attended some of the best universities in the country. Inorder to correct this problem the Weathermen needed to recruit working classpeople, Vietnam veterans, gang members and other streetwise individuals whowould have some experience in fighting, placing bombs and otherwise living onthe outside of the law. This issue of "white skin privilege" would come up timeand again and I could see the frustration that it created and how the need woulddevelop to overcome this obstacle at any cost.

At one point I asked, during one of our criticism sessions, why we didn't recruitor make any efforts to recruit African-Americans or Latinos. Weathermandoctrine held that minorities inside the United States were actually a colonizedpeople and therefore could fight a war of liberation while we, as white Americans,were part of US imperialism or at least profited from US imperialism.

My own beliefs, at the time, were that the leadership of the Weathermen felt thatthey would no longer be able to maintain absolute control of the organization ifminorities were allowed to join. I think the weatherman leadership felt threatenedand inadequate to maintain their positions.

One of my assignments was Detroit, Michigan, and I arrived there in late Januaryof 1970. Shortly after my arrival I was assigned to a cell with four other peopleand during the meeting with Bill Ayers we were told that our objective would be toplace bombs at the Detroit Police Officers Association (DPOA Building) and atthe 13th precinct. Furthermore Bill instructed us to determine the best time toplace these explosive devices that would result in the greatest number of deathsand injuries. He also directed that the bombs should be set to go off at the sametime.

While we were gathering information regarding these two targets I noted that the

DPOA building was a converted single-family brownstone that had been builtprior to World War II. A walkway along the side of the building went from themain street to an alley in the back. Next to the DPOA building there was a redbarn restaurant which was a new structure designed as a fast food outlet. Thislocation was in a predominantly black neighborhood which meant that most ofthe customers in this red barn restaurant were black. After a week of informationgathering we had another meeting with Bill Ayers and at this time I suggested toBill that if we placed the bomb in the walkway between these two buildings the

DPOA building would suffer little if any damage while the red barn restaurantwould most likely be destroyed. I also concluded that customers in thatrestaurant would die. Bill Ayers responded by telling me, "sometimes innocentpeople have to die in a revolution." I was shocked. I couldn't believe that aperson who had so eloquently spoke of the black liberation movement could be

so callous when it was obvious that the resulting explosion would kill many of thepeople he claimed to be so concerned about.

This is a lesson to be learned blacks are not to be liberated, but exploited, evenkilled, on the road to liberation. In the communist view, even Obama will besacrificed if he is perceived to be standing in the way of the fundamentaltransformation of the United States that he promised and which he is supposed

to bring about.
