January 21, 2009 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Almost from its inception, the Weather Underground [WU] was viewed with great concern by the FBI. As a result, the decision was made to place a high level informant within the group to help keeps tabs on its members' activities. That person was Larry Grathwohl, a Vietnam veteran and the only publicly identified FBI informant who succeeded in penetrating the Weather Underground, serving in that capacity from August 1969 until April 1970. Prior to his service in the FBI, he was a member of the Cincinnati Police force. PipeLineNews.org contacted...

MORAGA — The much-anticipated speech Wednesday by militant-turned-college-professor Bill Ayers at Saint Mary's College attracted nearly 600 people, many of them very clearly in diametrically opposite political camps. That figure does not count the roughly 200 people who loudly protested Ayers' appearance outside the packed Soda Center auditorium in an unparalleled level of interest in an academic lecture at this rural, private Catholic college. Inside, Ayers' 90-minute presentation drew jeers, boos and an emotional outburst from a woman who swore at him and left. He also received plenty of laughs and claps and even a few standing ovations from the...

January 28, 2009 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - St. Mary's College in Moraga CA received a black eye this evening as a large and angry crowd of protesters turned out to provide counterpoint to the Ayers' presence. The event was organized by the Simple Justice not Social Justice Coalition' an ad hoc organization comprised of many partners, that came together in response to Ayers. Since the public became aware of the controversial founder of the Weather Underground's scheduled speech, college officials have stubbornly maintained that he was nothing more than a respected professor of education and a proponent...

I predicted it days after it happened: That the beloved and woefully incompetent terrorist Bill Ayers would join his fellow travelers at the Huffington Post blog. And so, this week, he's written some hilarious nonsense about education, using a kind of mental terrorism meant to blow your mind, but instead only blows. But what a great idea for the frustrated bomber inside all of us! I mean, let's say you're in a hurry and you need some nutty Marxist rhetoric to impress a co-ed from Brown, as well as advice on how to make a bomb! Wouldn't it be great...

Fort Dix five guilty of conspiracy to kill soldiers by John P. Martin/The Star-Ledger Monday December 22, 2008, 1:30 PM Five Muslim immigrants from South Jersey were convicted today of plotting to kill American soldiers, a crime that prosecutors said demonstrated how Al Qaeda was using the Internet to recruit, train and incite supporters for attacks in the United States and around the world. The jurors, however, acquitted the men of an additional charge of attempted murder. The verdicts represented a victory for prosecutors and validation of tactics the FBI has increasingly used nationwide to detect and disrupt suspected terror...

Here is another excerpt from Al Seedman's book Chief! Chief! is a semi-autobiographical tale of Seedman's work as a New York City Police Department Detective. He was Chief of Detectives when the Weathermen's bombs exploded in the townhouse on 11th Street in Manhattan on March 6, 1970. Prior to that explosion, the NYPD spent months chasing Sam Melville and Jane Alpert for a series of bombings in 1969. They detonated at least eight bombs in New York City, possibly more in the midwest. The New York Police formed an Arson/Explosvies Squad to deal with Melville, so the squad was in...

When I decided to write something on Mark Felt who passed away this week at 95, an online friend, Narciso, wrote of the “incremental irony of Mark Felt.” When I asked him to elaborate he wrote back: He conducted illegal or at least dubious surveillance against the Weathermen, he then faults Nixon for the same tactics, he undermined his own agency and ultimately almost ended up in jail. Besides sage words about being wary of the motives of government employees bearing tales of corruption to the press, Narciso’s words constitute as complete an epitaph of Mark Felt as I can...

Barack Obama still claims little or no connection to Bill Ayers and Kathy Boudin, despite launching one of his capmaigns in their home. Ayers and Boudin say they were just protesting and they never meant to hurt anyone. Many of us know this to be a lie. I suggested a source, a book title Chief! written by Albert Seedman and Peter Hellman. Seedman was the Chief of New York City Detectives on Friday, March 6th, 1970, when the townhouse at 18 West 11th Street exploded. These accounts of the explosion and the investigation come from those directly involved. The book...

It couldn't have been easy for Bill Ayers to keep quiet while the McCain campaign tarred him as the Obama's best friend, the terrorist. Unfortunately, the silence was too good to last. On Saturday's New York Times op-ed page, he announced that "it's finally time to tell my true story." Like his memoir, Fugitive Days , "The Real Bill Ayers" is a sentimentalized, self-justifying whitewash of his role in the weirdo violent fringe of the 1960s-70s antiwar left. "I never killed or injured anyone, "Ayers writes. "In 1970, I co-founded the Weather Underground, an organization that was created after an...

Chicago IN the recently concluded presidential race, I was unwillingly thrust upon the stage and asked to play a role in a profoundly dishonest drama. I refused, and here’s why. Unable to challenge the content of Barack Obama’s campaign, his opponents invented a narrative about a young politician who emerged from nowhere, a man of charm, intelligence and skill, but with an exotic background and a strange name. The refrain was a question: “What do we really know about this man?” Secondary characters in the narrative included an African-American preacher with a fiery style, a Palestinian scholar and an “unrepentant...

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "During Barack Obama’s presidential run, Eric Holder, Bill Clinton’s Deputy Attorney General from 1997 to 2001, campaigned heavily for the then-Illinois senator. This past summer, Obama tapped Holder to serve on the vice presidential selection team that ultimately chose Joe Biden to be Obama’s running mate. Now Holder may receive his own position in the Obama administration, which he has been nominated to serve as Attorney General." ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Nearly ten years after the FALN pardons, Holder is once again set to enter the Attorney General’s office – this time as its head. But before assuming that important...

“Billie” (as in a man that has no manly traits) had to sneak into his book signing event at the All Souls Unitarian Church, even with 3 police officers standing by the main entrance. He was a wussy when he sent out his sheeple to bomb and kill Americans, and he still is a wussy. Kristinn put up a thread alerting him to our protest and that could have been one reason that he moved his event to the church. When the manager of Busboys and Poets Terrorists establishment saw us on the sidewalk, he quickly showed us a flyer...

This is an older but now-timely article from the Trib, couldn't find it posted in the FR archives: Family ties proved Ayers' point By Ron Grossman May 18, 2008 A funny thing happened to Bill Ayers in the years between his first headline-grabbing activities and his cameo role in the 2008 presidential campaign. He became a pillar of the very establishment he had once conspired to bring down. [snip] Ayers' round trip—from a privileged childhood to the bomb-making wing of '60s radicalism and back up the social ladder—shows he got one thing right in his critique of America: Whom you...

Via Ace. The bad news? Obama was lying to us when he dismissed Ayers at the debate as merely “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.” The good news? We already knew that, thanks to Axelrod and Mayor Daley. Anyway, belated confirmation.

Now that Barack Obama is safely elected, people like Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers no longer have to remain silent, and the media are suddenly interested in them. Former Weather Underground terrorist Ayers will appear tomorrow [FRIDAY, 11/14/08] on Good Morning America.

In a new afterword to his memoir, 1960s radical William Ayers describes himself as a "family friend" of President-elect Barack Obama and writes that the campaign controversy over their relationship was an effort by Obama's political enemies to "deepen a dishonest narrative" about the candidate. Ayers describes phone threats and hate e-mail he received during the campaign, and he bemoans Obama's guilt by association. During the campaign, Ayers' friendship with Obama was a favorite subject of conservative bloggers and talk show hosts who insisted the two were closer than the candidate was admitting. Ayers' new description of the relationship seems...
