1975 Weather Underground newspaper..an interesting read.
« on: November 02, 2008, 08:41:50 AM »
It's at the link below. The longterm plan similarities are...disturbing, to say the least.

Quote
Zomblog has obtained an extremely rare copy of the first issue of Osawatomie, a newspaper published by the Weather Underground in 1975. Noteworthy passages are reproduced below, along with exact transcriptions. The full pages, with each passage in context in high resolution, are found at the bottom of this post.

Much of Osawatomie, which was written at a time when the Dohrn-Ayers wing of the Weather Underground was transitioning from terrorism to “working from the inside” for revolution, concerns itself with the need to encourage “organizers” who will work in “communities” and use “audacity” to bring about “socialism” in America.

Quote
But revolutionaries expect adversity, expect to be fought every inch of the way by an entrenched ruling class, expect to confront danger and demoralization and overcome it, with creativity and audacity.

Audacity, huh?

Guys, unless you've been in a cave for 30 years, you should already have known about this... Why do you think that different government institutions have been twisted?
 
Now... Go get active in your PTA, your city councils, etc...

Those embarassing old papers aren't exactly easy to come by.

A copy of Ayers' even more embarassing "Prarie Fire" pamphlet, in which he talks about the need for violence and praises Bobby Kennedy's assassin, just went on eBay for over $700. That one's been posted too, now, though.

Won't stop Ayers from being appointed as Secretary of Education, though, likely.

Well, I remember reading all that crap back in the day... The major objective was "if you can't take down the man directly, become the man, and take down the system from the inside."

And that was all over the place for a while in the early seventies...

Those of us with gray hair yawn at the "news".  Every radical group had its own manifesto detailing its view of reality.  Coffee shops and head shops were favored gathering places.  Radical was chic even if it was blather.  These people were dead serious and fully intended to do as they say.  What amazes me is the full scope of Weather Underground relationships and goal has yet to be exposed even with all the public exposure.

And if this was all "known", then WHY THE HELL IS IT ABOUT TO TAKE THE MOST POWERFUL OFFICE ON THE PLANET?
