A little green birdie dropped off a package for us; the PDF version of Barack Obama associates “Billy” Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s 1974 communist declaration of war against the United States.

Includes the dedication to Sirhan Sirhan, assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, on page 5.

You may have read about this book, or seen it mentioned on Hannity and Colmes, but you cannot appreciate how radically insane and violent it is until you read it for yourself.

[mojito]

The text is in three pdf files at the link.

I'll try to post some excerpts.

I can’t bring my self to download that crap onto my computer. I have too much respect for microprocessors and motherboards.

Thanks- downloading before the copyright police step in.

From page 7:

PRAIRIE FIRE is written to communist-minded people,
independent organizers and anti-imperialists; those who carry the traditions and lessons of the struggles of the last decade, those who join in the struggles of today. PRAIRIE FIRE is written to all sisters and brothers who are
engaged in armed struggle against the enemy. It is written to prisoners,women's groups, collectives, study groups, workers’ organizing committees,communes, GI organizers, consciousness-raising groups, veterans, community
groups and revolutionaries of all kinds; to all who will read, criticize and bring its content to life in practice. It is written as an argument against those who oppose action and hold back the struggle.

PRAIRIE FIRE is based on a belief that the duty of a revolutionary is to make the revolution. This is not an abstraction. It means that revolutionaries must make a profound commitment to the future of humanity, apply our limited knowledge and experience to understand an
ever-changing situation, organize the masses of people and build the fight. It means that struggle and risk and hard work and adversity will become a wayof life, that the only certainty will be constant change, that the only possibilities are victory or death.

We have only begun. At this time, the unity and consolidation of anti-imperialist forces around a revolutionary program is an urgent and pressing strategic necessity. PRAIRIE FIRE is offered as a contribution to this unity of action and purpose. Now it is in your hands.

Why couldn’t this have gotten out a month ago so there would be time for people to read it. I have decided that I am not going to read it. I am already scared enough as it is.

Sirhan Sirhan is right smack dab in the middle of the 13th line of names.

One final push to save the U.S.A.!

The challenge:

Between NOW and election day, convince at least two Obama/Undecided voters to vote for McCain. Further, convince these two people (or two others) to take up the same challenge. (Like a chain letter)

So you have converted people in the past? Good, but we need more!

Many Obama supporters are mindlessly supporting him, with no real reason, this means it is VERY easy to get them to switch over. Even if you fail, other Obama/undecideds may be in the room and hear valid arguments and question their faith in the One.

Do your part...your country depends on it!

Thank you, I saved it to my hard drive to read later.

Is it just me or does Ayers come across as a huge flamer?

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

the next time I hear someone compare Obama to JFK, I am going to kick their ass.

Jack and Bobby both warned against the welfare state. I believe both men really loved America in their hearts. Obama only loves the America he dreams of “experimenting” with and we are the rats.

Sometimes I need to cry for my country. Not losing faith . But just feel the need to cry. Even Jesus cried.. “Jesus wept”. I am not losing hope either and I am not giving up either. Give me liberty or give me death.

Has this happened to anyone else???

[Las Vegas Ron]

Wow, from what little I read, these people (and I use that tern loosely) rail against Imperialism, specifically US imperialism, but want to be imperialists themselves?

I take that as a threat and say bring it on commie pinko bastards.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I’m surprised Osama’s name wasn’t listed.

Was this written before or after Sirhan Sirhan became famous?

Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve been looking for a full version of PF since I read the FOIA release of the FBI files on the Weatherunderground.

Here's the intro to get folks started:

Sisters and brothers,

Here is PRAIRIE FIRE, our political ideology -a strategy for anti-imperialism and revolution inside the imperial US. It comes out of our own practice of the last five years and reflects a diversity of experiences. This paper is not the product of one or two people, nor even a small handful of us. Rather PRAIRIE FIRE represents the politics and collective efforts of an organization. It has been the focus of our study groups and our political education. It has been chewed on and shaped in countless conversations, struggles and written pages. It has travelled around the country, growing, developing thru the attempt to understand the shape of world forces and the revolutionary possibilities before us. The paper was rewritten four times and collectively adopted as the political statement of the Weather Underground. The twelve-month process of writing PRAIRIE FIRE, squeezed between on-going work and practice and action, has now reached a kind of end-point. A cycle is done.

We undertook this analysis to explain the changes in US and world conditions since the Vietnam ceasefire and to evaluate the consequences of the Vietnamese victory. We have come some distance in evaluating the political situation, the priorities for revolutionary work since we began this writing. Now many more revolutionaries will need to shape and change the paper. The politics cannot be realized unless and until the content of the program is activated in thousands of situations, among thousands of people in the coming period. PRAIRIE FIREwill be a growing thing.

We hope the paper opens a dialectic among those in the mass and clandestine movements; we hope people will take PRAIRIE FIRE as seriously as we do, study the content and write and publish their views of the paper as well as their analysis of their own practice. We will respond as best we can.

Our movement urgently needs a concrete analysis of the particular conditions of our time and place. We need strategy. We need to battle for a correct ideology and win people over. In this way we create the conditions for the development of a successful revolutionary movement and party. We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build the new society. Getting from here to there is a process of coming together in a disciplined way around ideology and strategy, developing an analysis of our real conditions, mobilizing a base among the US people, building principled relationships to Third World struggle, and accumulating p~actice in struggle against US imperialism.

PRAIRIE FIRE is written to communist-minded people, independent organizers and anti-imperialists; those who carry the traditions and lessons of the struggles of the last decade, those who join in the struggles of today. PRAIRIE FIRE is written to all sisters and brothers who are engaged in armed struggle against the enemy. It is written to prisoners, women's groups, collectives, study groups, workers' organizing committees, communes, GI organizers, consciousness-raising groups, veterans, community groups and revolutionaries of all kinds; to all who will read, criticize and bring its content to life in practice. It is written as an argument against those who oppose action and hold back the struggle. PRAIRIE FIRE is based on a belief that the duty of a revolutionary is to make the revolution.

Sirhan Sirhan is right smack dab in the middle of the 13th line of names.’

I want to see Caroline Kennedy and Ted Kenndey come to a microphone and denounce Obama.

They have been duped.

Either that or the Democrap Party means more to them than their brother/uncle.
