A DECLARATION OF A STATE OF WAR by Obama Mentor Bernardine Dohrn

From The Berkeley Tribe, July 31, 1970.
Reprinted in Jacobs, Harold. Weatherman. Ramparts Press, 1970.

Bernardine Dorhn and Bill Ayers were Obama's mentors in Chicago "progressive Politics".

Both Ayers and Dorhn are unrepentatnt members of the Weatherman. This "DECLARATION" was released in the wake of the explosion of the Manhattan bomb factory where pipe bombs intended to kill hundreds of Soldiers at Fort Dix mercifully detonated, sparing the Soldiers and killed traitors Terry Robbins, Diana Oughton and Ted Gold.

Hello. This is Bernardine Dohrn.

I'm going to read A DECLARATION OF A STATE OF WAR.

This is the first communication from the Weatherman underground.

All over the world, people fighting Amerikan imperialism look to Amerika's youth to use our strategic position behind enemy lines to join forces in the destruction of the empire.

Black people have been fighting almost alone for years. We've known that our job is to lead white kids into armed revolution. We never intended to spend the next five or twenty-five years of our lives in jail. Ever since SDS became revolutionary, we've been trying to show how it is possible to overcome the frustration and impotence that comes from trying to reform this system. Kids know the lines are drawn revolution is touching all of our lives. Tens of thousands have learned that protest and marches don't do it. Revolutionary violence is the only way.

Now we are adapting the classic guerrilla strategy of the Viet Cong and the urban guerrilla strategy of the Tupamaros to our own situation here in the most technically advanced country in the world.

Ché taught us that "revolutionaries move like fish in the sea." The alienation and contempt that young people have for this country has created the ocean for this revolution.

The hundreds and thousands of young people who demonstrated in the Sixties against the war and for civil rights grew to hundreds of thousands in the past few weeks actively fighting Nixon's invasion of Cambodia and the attempted genocide against black people. The insanity of Amerikan "justice" has added to its list of atrocities six blacks killed in Augusta, two in Jackson and four white Kent State students, making thousands more into revolutionaries.

The parents of "privileged" kids have been saying for years that the revolution was a game for us. But the war and the racism of this society show that it is too f*cked-up. We will never live peaceably under this system.

This was totally true of those who died in the New York townhouse explosion. The third person who was killed there was Terry Robbins, who led the first rebellion at Kent State less than two years ago.

The twelve Weathermen who were indicted for leading last October's riots in Chicago have never left the country. Terry is dead, Linda was captured by a pig informer, but the rest of us move freely in and out of every city and youth scene in this country. We're not hiding out but we're invisible.

There are several hundred members of the Weatherman underground and some of us face more years in jail than the fifty thousand deserters and draft dodgers now in Canada. Already many of them are coming back to join us in the underground or to return to the Man's army and tear it up from inside along with those who never left.

We fight in many ways. Dope is one of our weapons. The laws against marijuana mean that millions of us are outlaws long before we actually split. Guns and grass are united in the youth underground.

Freaks are revolutionaries and revolutionaries are freaks. If you want to find us, this is where we are. In every tribe, commune, dormitory, farmhouse, barracks and townhouse where kids are making love, smoking dope and loading guns—fugitives from Amerikan justice are free to go.

For Diana Oughton, Ted Gold and Terry Robbins, and for all the revolutionaries who are still on the move here, there has been no question for a long time now—we will never go back.

Within the next fourteen days we will attack a symbol or institution of Amerikan injustice. This is the way we celebrate the example of Eldridge Cleaver and H. Rap Brown and all black revolutionaries who first inspired us by their fight behind enemy lines for the liberation of their people.

Never again will they fight alone.

May 21, 1970

These people never change. A vote for Obama is a vote for Ché.

Wouldn’t you just love to wave the magic wand and have these losers shipped permanently to cut sugar cane in Cuba?

Doc,

We know his background but the masses don’t. Logic plays no part when dealing with zealots. As always, the Left is going to vote lo vote Left, logic be damned.

And her "thousands and hundreds of thousands" made a collective and got jobs and bought homes and now vote Democrat through puffy faces and think they are "sticking it to the pigs". What empty headed buffoons they were, and yet, the Obamao has chosen their rhetoric and thoughts to be his own. Amazing, yet not surprising.

And there Bill Ayers, standing on the American Flag in some overgrown back alley where no one can see him, and no one would care, all done as a stage prop for some magazine.

As usual, style over substance, head to a “University” get tenured, then rail about the very system that is sending them a paycheck....

Che’ would have flipped...LOL

And now she has a 401k and is invested in American corporations. But I’m sure she still talks a good game.

Rush said, in his first book, that Feminism was created to give ugly women a fair chance in society. I think that Socialism/Communism was created to give idiots a fair chance. We can’t all win but we can all be forced to dumb down.

Vote Barrak Hussien Obama!

Despicable pieces of subversive, terrorist oxygen waste:

William Terrorist Ayers

How in God's name was she ever legally cleared of the bombings and terrorist acts to become an acceptable member of society and academia?

Bernardine Dohrn is Director of the (Harvard) Children and Family Justice Center and Associate Clinical Professor at Northwestern University School of Law’s Bluhm Legal Clinic. The CFJC is a holistic children’s law center and a national policy center for the comprehensive needs of adolescents and their families, providing critical analysis of youth law and the legal administration of justice, educating the public, and preparing professionals who advocate for children.

More background on the path of these vermin here and here.

Imagine how she prepares the teachers, professors, counselors, court officers and juvenile justice employees. Dearlord.

Snowbama sure knows how to pick 'em, doesn't he?

"We fight in many ways. Dope is one of our weapons."

Yeah, just keep on smoking that "weapon". Makes it easy to spot the so called "invisible" revolutionaries. They are the burned out gray haired hippies who still wear the same marijuana t-shirt they wore in the 70's, bumming on street corners when the welfare check runs out. Morons. Obama's mentors, hahahahaha!

Oh, but the exhuberance of priviledged youth in those days—most of whom were nothing more than chicken to fight in the real war.
Am writing a memoir to answer Billy’s—any input would be appreciated. (1965 to present day).
