Michelle and Bernadine Dohrn worked together at the same law firm in the early 90’s. It’s inconceivable that they didn’t know each other.

Found more on Mike Klonsky on this FR Thread.

Some background on Bill Ayers' SDS comrade, Michael Klonsky (Chicago Annenberg Challenge-related)

"One of Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s comrades in the late 60s Students for a Democratic Society was Mike Klonsky. When Dohrn and Ayers moved in one direction toward the violent tactics of the Weather Underground, Klonsky, in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, dropped the pro-Russian communist politics of his parents and became a committed Maoist. As leader of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) in 1977 [not to be confused with Communist Party USA. CPML no longer exists, CPUSA formed decades earlier and is still around-ETL], he travelled to Beijing and was toasted by the senior Beijing leadership.

When the crazy left of the 70s died in the 80s, Klonsky went to graduate school in education in Florida and then moved to Chicago.

While driving a cab there he [Michael Klonsky] was recruited by his old friend Bill Ayers to head up a new project called the Small Schools Workshop in 1991. It’s offices were in the Department of Education building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus where Ayers taught.

In 1995 the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge headed by Ayers and Obama gave the Workshop a grant of $175,000.

The Annenberg Challenge also had its office space in the same building as Ayers Department and the Workshop, rent free courtesy of the University.

In 2008 Klonsky ran a blog on the official Obama campaign website on education policy and “social justice” teaching. When discussion of the Klonsky blog emerged in the blogosphere, it was promptly shut down by the campaign and all of the posts made by Klonsky were removed from the site."

In 1977, the October League was reorganized as the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) [again, not Communist Party USA (CPUSA) -ETL] and former SDS activist Michael Klonsky became party chairman. Also in 1977, Klonsky traveled to China and the CPML was recognized by the Chinese Communist Party as its official sister party in America.

(snip)

In January 1981, Michael Klonsky resigned as party chairman, and the CPML disbanded that same year.

The previous Red Encyclopedia description of the CPML was incorrectly combined with that of the Communist Party USA (Marxist-Leninist).

Found an article that reports "When Bernardine Dohrn, the Weather Underground leader, surrendered to the authorities yesterday, she gave her Chicago address as 2473 North Albany Street."

The house was owned by John S. Ayers, who was working as a sales representative for the Chicago Tribune. He'd purchased the house in 1979. According to the article, John Ayers wouldn't provide any info as to when his brother and Dohrn had moved in to the top flat.

That group had to have had a good time laughing at while living off of funds from Reagan’s buddy Annenberg.

[freekitty]

Looks like this is what we need to focus on since Corsi’s “emails” are looking like Dan Rather Reporting Live from the local Kinko’s.
