read Jared Israel on his site TENC (the emperor’s new clothes) on Obama and Ayers’ relationship and how the CIA used the Weathermen to derail the more careful, and serious groups in the anti-war Left by giving them free rein to go ahead and commit acts of violence, so that the narrative could be pushed that THIS is why the anti-war movement as a whole had to go.They didn’t want a serious and legitimate Left to form and get anywhere near taking a position, or gaining a foothold in America’s political mainstream: They wanted the terrorism of the Weathermen to be taken as what the Left had already become. Anyone ever wonder about the cognitive dissonance inherent in known, proud terrorists like Ayers and Dohrn reappearing years later, unpunished and being given cushy positions in Academia? Well, they were protected by the highest authority, the CIA. Nothing could ever happen to them.
Does that also explain why the Clintons, Comey, Brennan, Schiff, on and on and on, all seem to get away with what they do or have done, no matter how clear-cut incriminating the evidence? Bill even got away with ChinaGate.
