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.
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.
also shouted..
Thanks- downloading before the copyright police step in.
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!
Money quote from page 7.
Is it just me or does Ayers come across as a huge flamer?
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.
I did do my dugg.
I dugg it and I just got the following email:

Has this happened to anyone else???
I take that as a threat and say bring it on commie pinko bastards.
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.
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.

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.
Was this written before or after Sirhan Sirhan became famous?”
It would have to be agter he shot Bobby Kennedy.
Before that, no one knew who he was.
Ayers might have known him.
Yes, I’d like to send her a copy of that page.
Then let’s see if she still likes Ayers buddy, Zero.
Racism as a prime social and cultural dividing line was born in North America, out of slavery -it was born out of greed for profit, perpetrated by deception and a monopoly of firearms, not of biological superiority real or imagined. The notion that slavery is somehow based upon racial and cultural inferiority of African and other Third WorId peoples has been deeply embedded into every US institution as the chief means of brainwashing and using the white population.
The fact that Ayers and his ilk are walking around alive and free says more about the state of our Republic han anything else.
This rule was enforced by the terror of the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan was established by the planter class to prevent Black people and their white allies from consolidating their political gains. Through the Klan, like the old slave patrols, poor whites helped terrorize and control Blacks. Black people were forced back into subjugation through mob violence and lynching, Jim Crow laws and wholesale disenfranchisement, and white skin became the cultural definition of power once again.
Why those nasty "Northern Republicans" sold out the black population to the "planter class", who then created the KKK and Jim Crow laws. Just who were these terrible "planter class" people and why aren't they named? Oh yeah, they were Democrats. Even when fighting against the whole US government, the SDS still wouldn't name the Democrats as the racists they were.
he is an admitted “equal opportunity” revolutionary.
wait until you get to "The real and phony energy crises" part (.pdf page 30, PF page 18).
It basically reads the same as the left's rants about oil today 34 years later... windfall profits, unfair distribution, etc.
The only difference I can see it that they damned the Gov. for limiting refining because it denied energy to poor people. Forward to today these same people demand that refining be limited for the better of all. Oh, how they have evolved :-)
That is about as deep into this drivel that I am willing to dive into tonight. Quite fascinating reading though.
Sicko!
Do you really think that those blinded by Obama’s “ Messiahship”...would be open to this?
There is only ONE way their eyes will be opened...
ALMIGHTY , JEHOVAH GOD....the one TRUE GOD!!!
MAY it be so in the next 48 hours that God will bring a DIVINE MIRACLE to AMERICA!!!!!!

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Digg ping please.
After. The book was writtin in 1974.
I shouldn't have, but I went and read more of that filth.You're right, the playbook has not changed at all except to be tweaked for the heartstring effect.
All of their ground work that has been laid for the last 30 years or so is coming to fruition with this election. It is in my estimation, nothing short of a political coup.
It's a poor sword that doesn't cut both ways. And it's a poor book that can't be used by both sides.
I've learned a lot from books by Mao Zedong and Vo Nguyen Giap. Read Ayres' book. At the very least you may learn what Obamalamadingdong plans to do. More than that, you may learn some things to counter him.
