Times Square Bombing, a 'Weather Underground-like' action

Note: I'm not suggesting that Ward Churchill or William 'Bill' Ayers was behind it, lord knows there are plenty of others just like them. I just wanted to remark that this really 'smells' of a 'Weather Underground-like'/Revolutionary-Left action.

This short message/warning? right below appeared on a blog in the NY Daily News today, Friday, March 7, 2008:

blogger: JahLuv Mar 7, 2008 6:00:23 AM:
"I do not believe this was the work of a foreigner or some foreign national. This was plot hatched by an AmeriKKKan right here in AmeriKKKa.
Is anyone else reminded of a speech in which AmeriKKKa was warned that her "chickens will come home to roost"? Don't sleep....."

"Don't sleep"?? Is this simply advice or a threat?
Note the expression, "Amerikkka", it will appear again below.
The rest is material I've been gathering for some time. -LC (Eye On The Left) :

"On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: reflections on the consequences of U.S. imperial arrogance and criminality"
(ISBN 1-902593-79-0) is a book written by Ward Churchill, published in 2003 by AK Press.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Justice_of_Roosting_Chickens

"'When he came back from Vietnam, he turned into a radical,' said Scott Davis, a high school classmate. 'He was a war protester. He burned the American flag in front of the Peoria County Courthouse.'

In the 1987 interview, Churchill said he started spending time in Chicago at the office of Students for a Democratic Society, an 'anti-war', leftist group. There, he said, he became friends with Mark Clark of Peoria, a member of the Black Panthers killed in 1969 in a shootout with police.

He also said he met representatives of the radical Weather Underground, and he said in 1987 that he had taught them how to make bombs. He has declined to comment since then on his 1987 claims."-Denver Post, February 13, 2005

"I don't regret setting bombs," Ayers was quoted in the opening line of the Times profile; "I feel we didn't do enough." In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World [Maoist-communist] revolutionaries conquer and destroy it.

Taking charge of the podium, dressed in high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast."

Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:

"Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim's stomach! Wild!",/b>

Today William Ayers is not merely an author favored by the New York Times, but a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. His Lady Macbeth is not merely a lawyer, but a member of the American Bar Association’s governing elite, as well as the director of Northwestern University’s Children and Family Justice Center. These facts reflect a reality about the culture of facile defamation of America and ready appeasement of her mortal enemies, that confronts us as we struggle to deal with the terrorist attack.

"Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971."

"Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website." [three whole years as a director!]

"Mr. Ayers, who has been described by one supporter as 'friends' with Mr. Obama, openly speaks and writes of his role in the 1974 bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building where Mr. Obama now serves. Mr. Ayers is widely quoted from his reminiscence, which appeared in the New York Times on the infamous Tuesday, September 11, 2001: 'I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough.'

When asked in that same interview if he would set more bombs today, his response was, 'I don't want to discount the possibility.'"

"They're certainly friendly" --quote from "Obama's chief strategist (and reigning expert on Chicago's political tribes), David Axelrod"

Nancy Rabinowitz, who started teaching at Hamilton in 1978, is Hamilton College's professor of Comparative Literature and director of the campus' Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture.

In addition to the Ward Churchill invitation, Rabinowitz extended a job offer to domestic terrorist and last-minute Clinton pardon recipient Susan Rosenberg on behalf of the Kirkland Project.

However, Rabinowitz's ties to violent anti-Americanism go beyond mere emotional support; she has family ties to those who seek to overthow our government. Her father-in-law was renowned Communist proponent and lawyer Victor Rabinowitz, whose law firm -- Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky and Lieberman -- has represented domestic terrorists, accused spies, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Rabinowitz defended his partner Leonard Boudin’s daughter and Weather Underground member Kathy Boudin, who was personally involved with the murders of three policemen.

Throughout the 1970’s, the Weather Underground was responsible for the bombings of the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C.; the U.S. Capitol Building; the New York City Police Headquarters; and the Pentagon. (Susan Rosenberg belonged to a group closely associated with the Weathermen.)

Victor Rabinowitz’s law firm served as the primary counsel to the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (NECLC), an organization that filled its ranks with members of the Communist Party, and sought to represent radicals individuals and groups seeking to destroy the U.S. Constitution. In the early 1960’s, Rabinowitz was identified in Senate testimony as being a member of the Communist Party USA. His partner Leonard Boudin’s participation was exposed by a defense memorandum based on declassified summaries of secret FBI files on the Weather Underground that came to light in December 1980. The NECLC’s Washington-based office also housed the law offices of the late National Lawyers Guild (NLG) attorneys David Rein and Joseph Forer, who were also associated with Rabinowitz’ law firm. Rein has been identified as a CPUSA member, while Forer served as co-counsel for the Communist Party with John Abt, a founding member of the NLG, who, in addition to serving on the CPUSA Political Committee, also directed a Soviet spy group in Washington (the 'Ware Group'). In 1997, the NECLC merged with the far-Left Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), and amended its clientele to include not only Communists, but also proponents of Islamic terrorism. (CCR's latest suit, filed in Germany, claims Donald Rumsfeld is a war criminal.)

Nancy Rabinowitz has made it clear she shares affection for her father-in-law's son and his causes. ..."

"Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago"

Question from audience:
You mentioned a little bit ago, "Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago," that's my question.

Churchill: I'm gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn't we do something and how do you you move so they don't see you coming.

As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can't find a single reason that you shouldn't in a principled way—there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)

—you know, often these things are processes. It's not just an impulse. And certainly it's not just an event.

And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I'm not being flip and giving the simple answer, is:
You carry the weapon. That's how they don't see it coming. You're the one…

You don't send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action.

Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker's suit.

There's probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there's where you start. .."

I dunno.... the Weathermen had better bombs than this one. This one was more like a glorified cherry bomb.

Mabye it was the Democratic Underground. Was the bomb concealed in a pizza box?

It was in a standard square ammo can.

That’s about as scary as they ever were. It was an exercise in political theater.
