Of Heroes, Enemies, And Monsters … It Makes No Sense

We find a very solid foundation and upbringing of Obama in a pro-Communist environment that has obviously shaped his thought process and mind set to believe he is the center point by which all around him will be provided for. He has the answers.
As a child I pretty much idolized the Kennedys. I was in kindergarten when JFK was assassinated. Our school dismissed early, the teachers and school staff in tears, and I came home to find my own mother weeping in front of our b/w TV. I did not understand who the man was or the depth of what had historically just happened. No concept of politics … I just knew a wrong had been committed, not just against this one man but against all of us. It made no sense …
Pass by a few years and I was more aware of the younger Kennedy … “Bobby”. My youthful liberal soul was snagged by his speeches of caring about and wanting to care for the “lesser” of our citizens. I was a little aware of the continued civil rights struggle inside this country. I could see the mixture of faces in Bobby Kennedy’s crowds. This was my Kennedy to follow … My version of “Hope and Change” … And then came the bullet. And as a young girl I wept.
No two words rang more meaning of hate and destruction and evil and violence than Sirhan Sirhan. The name made no sense … The act made no sense.
And during this time there was an anti-social, anti-American movement going on within this country that seethed as much evil and hate and destruction and murder as Sirhan Sirhan … That movement had a name behind it as well … William Ayers.
For the thinking person who has reviewed and weighed the evidence of the last few months there is no doubt the direct influence Bill Ayers has had in Obama’s life, most politically.
How ironic is it that you have the democrat presidential candidate who has been strongly endorsed and supported by the living member of the Kennedy brotherhood … whose older brother resisted and fought Communism in the middle of the last century in this country … and who also, this 2008 democrat presidential democrat candidate, has a direct past with the man who supports and holds in high regard the murderer who killed that surviving Kennedy’s younger brother in cold blood?
It makes no sense …
The quotes above were scanned directly from a now long-forgotten book entitled Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism, which was written and published in 1974 by William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and other members of the Weather Underground. In this slim volume, which functioned as the Weather Underground’s ideological manifesto, Ayers declares himself to be a communist, and announces that his group’s bombing campaign was intended to start a violent revolution to overthrow the American government.
After a long search, I was lucky enough to finally get my hands on a copy of the original edition of Prairie Fire, which is now extremely rare and hard to find. It was written in secret while Ayers and his fellow Weather Underground members were still in hiding and on the run, and still actively engaging in bombings and other violent acts.

There’s nothing illegal about being a communist. People in this country are free to hold whatever political beliefs they so choose. I don’t know William Ayers, I’ve never met him (that I’m aware of), and I have nothing against him personally.
This essay only exists to correct and unequivocably debunk claims routinely made by the mainstream media over the last few weeks about William Ayers, his beliefs, and the purpose behind his bombing campaign during the 1970s.
Specifically, when questions arose during the 2008 presidential race about Barack Obama’s past associations with William Ayers, many media reports and articles blandly described Ayers as a “Vietnam-era radical” and the Weather Underground as a group that set bombs “to protest against the Vietnam War.” Both of these characterizations are demonstrably inaccurate.
Furthermore: Obama and his supporters at first claimed he barely knew who Ayers was, but when public awareness of the connections between Obama and Ayers became too numerous and too strong to deny, Obama’s supporters have now begun resorting to a fallback position: that William Ayers wasn’t such a bad guy after all, and that it is no shame to be associated with him. The now-standard talking points are:
• Ayers was simply protesting against the Vietnam War, and a lot of people protested against the Vietnam War back then, so there’s no shame in that.
• Ayers was never actually convicted of setting any bombs or killing anyone, so there’s no real proof that he ever did anything wrong.
• Ayers is now a respected, mainstream, mild-mannered and popular professor, so obviously his political views couldn’t have been that extreme.
This essay disproves all of these claims. The text that William Ayers authored in Prairie Fire, and the additional documentary links provided below, prove that:
• Ayers was not simply protesting “against” the Vietnam War. Firstly, he wasn’t against war in principle, he was agitating for the victory of the communist forces in Vietnam. In other words: He wasn’t against the war, he was against our side in the war. This is spelled out in great detail in Prairie Fire. Secondly, and more significantly, the Vietnam War was only one of many issues cited by the Weather Undergound as the justifications for their violent acts. As you will see below, in various quotes from Prairie Fire and in their own list of their violent actions (and in additional impartial documentary links), Ayers and the Weather Underground enumerated dozens of different grievances as the rationales for their bombings — their overarching goal being to inspire a violent mass uprising against the United States government in order to establish a communist “dictatorship of the proletariat,” in Ayers’ own words.
• Ayers and his co-authors freely brag about their bombings and other violent and illegal acts, and even provide a detailed list, most likely typed up by Ayers himself, of the crimes they had committed up to that point. Ayers’ list, scanned directly from Prairie Fire, is shown below. He may have escaped conviction due to a legal technicality (the prosecutors failed to get a warrant during some of their surveillance of the Weather Underground), but this in no way means that Ayers was factually innocent of the crimes. As has been widely reported, after the case against him was dropped, Ayers decribed himself as “guilty as hell, free as a bird.”
• Just because Ayers tries to appear respectable now doesn’t mean that he wasn’t a violent revolutionary in the past. In fact, as the text of Prairie Fire shows, Ayers was one of the most extreme extremists in American political history. And as the links given as the end of this essay will prove, Ayers is just as politically radical now as he was back then. He has never renounced the political views he professed in the 1960s and 1970s. The only difference is that now he no longer commits violence to achieve his goals. After his stint as the leader of the Weather Underground, he shifted to a different tactic: to spread his ideology under the aegis of academia. But the goal remains the same: to turn America into a communist nation. Ayers’ contemporary writings contain many of the same ideas (and even the same phrases) found in Prairie Fire, just toned down to make them more palatable in polite society.

Me: Among others, the book’s dedication includes …
Me: And of course, what neo-Communist Manifesto and revolution handbook would be complete without … him?
Me: It makes no sense … PERIOD!
