DORHN: A DECLARATION OF A STATE OF WAR. (This is why it matters)
May 21, 1970 | Bernardine Dohrn

Posted on 10/07/2008 3:14:59 PM PDT by Protect the Bill of Rights

This is Bernardine Dohrn.

I’m going to read A DECLARATION OF A STATE OF WAR.

This is the first communication from the Weatherman underground.

All over the world, people fighting Amerikan imperialism look to Amerika’s youth to use our strategic position behind enemy lines to join forces in the destruction of the empire.

Black people have been fighting almost alone for years. We’ve known that our job is to lead white kids into armed revolution. We never intended to spend the next five or twenty-five years of our lives in jail. Ever since SDS became revolutionary, we’ve been trying to show how it is possible to overcome the frustration and impotence that comes from trying to reform this system. Kids know the lines are drawn revolution is touching all of our lives. Tens of thousands have learned that protest and marches don’t do it. Revolutionary violence is the only way.

Now we are adapting the classic guerrilla strategy of the Viet Cong and the urban guerrilla strategy of the Tupamaros to our own situation here in the most technically advanced country in the world. Ché taught us that “revolutionaries move like fish in the sea.” (My note–so do sharks.) The alienation and contempt that young people have for this country has created the ocean for this revolution.

The hundreds and thousands of young people who demonstrated in the Sixties against the war and for civil rights grew to hundreds of thousands in the past few weeks actively fighting Nixon’s invasion of Cambodia and the attempted genocide against black people. The insanity of Amerikan “justice” has added to its list of atrocities six blacks killed in Augusta, two in Jackson and four white Kent State students, making thousands more into revolutionaries.

The parents of “privileged” kids have been saying for years that the revolution was a game for us. But the war and the racism of this society show that it is too f*cked-up. We will never live peaceably under this system.

This was totally true of those who died in the New York townhouse explosion. The third person who was killed there was Terry Robbins, who led the first rebellion at Kent State less than two years ago.

The twelve Weathermen who were indicted for leading last October’s riots in Chicago have never left the country. Terry is dead, Linda was captured by a pig informer, but the rest of us move freely in and out of every city and youth scene in this country. We’re not hiding out but we’re invisible.

There are several hundred members of the Weatherman underground and some of us face more years in jail than the fifty thousand deserters and draft dodgers now in Canada. Already many of them are coming back to join us in the underground or to return to the Man’s army and tear it up from inside along with those who never left.

We fight in many ways. Dope is one of our weapons. The laws against marijuana mean that millions of us are outlaws long before we actually split. Guns and grass are united in the youth underground.

Freaks are revolutionaries and revolutionaries are freaks. If you want to find us, this is where we are. In every tribe, commune, dormitory, farmhouse, barracks and townhouse where kids are making love, smoking dope and loading guns—fugitives from Amerikan justice are free to go.

For Diana Oughton, Ted Gold and Terry Robbins, and for all the revolutionaries who are still on the move here, there has been no question for a long time now—we will never go back.

Within the next fourteen days we will attack a symbol or institution of Amerikan injustice. This is the way we celebrate the example of Eldridge Cleaver and H. Rap Brown and all black revolutionaries who first inspired us by their fight behind enemy lines for the liberation of their people.

Never again will they fight alone. May 21, 1970

Their methods have changed, but not their idealogy. These are the people who hosted Obama's coming out party.

In 1992 the old media did their best to ignore the “Friends of Bill.” Bill & The Beast went national with their sleazy friends and accomplices from Arkansas.

A President Barak and his buddies from IL will make the Clintons look like angels.

Scary stuff. The belief is still the same but the actions are toned down to get elected to power.

Time to read Tom Wolfe’s “Radical Chic & Mau-mauing the Flak-Catchers” again.

Did you know that Barbara Walters was one of those in attendance at the party thrown for the Black Panthers at Leonard Bernstein’s townhouse?

Today, the Declaration of War is the stuff visits from Homeland Security are made of.

Why is it a big surprise (to MSM and the Obamites) that we would question Obama’s ties to these people who have not changed their beliefs?

Ms Dumb: Using blacks to further your communist agenda is not going to work.

Too many blacks are smart enough not to fall for your propaganda any longer. You failed the first time and you will fail AGAIN.

When it comes right down to voting for a real American or a Communist more sane Americans will not let Zero near the WH. They may let you think they will, but I have faith, they won't vote for a Commie.

I heard Alan Colmes last night defend Ayers to Dick Morris by claiming that he never killed anyone, as if that's supposed to make his bombing of the Pentagon okay. Morris replied, "He missed."

I'd think a better reply would be to say that Sarah Jane Moore and Lynette Fromme didn't kill anyone either, but we still jailed them for decades.

She was as big a movement slut as was her husband, the sexual predator of SDS/WUO.

Two psychopaths in love, with everyone they could screw. She was reportedly behind more of the bombings than Bill was, and her rants showed that she was a totally committee communist terrorist, just like her hubbie is today (minus the bombs. Professors usually get their students to do the dirty work).

Obama had to know who these people were, esp. since many of his political supporters had direct ties to the Communist Party USA and/or their Chicago fronts such as the Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights (Don Rose, who took over from CPUSA member Richard Criley), the Chicago Peace Council (Sara Staggs,Ronelle Mustin, et al); Chicago Veterans for Peace, far-left the Medical Committee for Human Rights (Quentin Young), US Peace Council/World Peace Council (Alice Palmer) and Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (Milton Cohen).
Also the old SDS revived as Movement for a Democratic Society and Progressives for Obama. So full of reds, including Weathermen, that you could have Leslie Gore singing their theme song, “It’s my Party”.

If you play with red skunks, you will smell like a red skunk.

Freaks are revolutionaries and revolutionaries are freaks.

As far as it may be determined, there never was a treaty signed between the Weathermen Underground and the United States of America (unless the “Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001” happened to sign one in the waning hours of his tenure of office), so the state of war may still exist.

Probably time for Department of Homeland Security to get on the stick.

Fortunately for the Free World, when Ernesto illegally entered Bolivia, he was like a mutant fresh water fish in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Adios, Ernesto - not sorry at all that you're gone. And I hope all of your mass-serial-murder supporters follow you, in their own time...

Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers: future Lincoln Bedroom overnight guests in an Obama White House. Maybe Dohrn and Ayers will think up something clever and revolutionary to do during their visit like peeing on the mattress.

I saw that. Colmes is getting more and more blind, and pathetic, in his attempts to defend Obama and his ilk.

Colmes must know that Diana Oughton, killed in the Greenwich Village explosion, (they were making bombs) was Ayres’ girlfriend?

Selective memory.

I would like to know who in the MSM was marching in the streets during the 60’s.
