One man who is in prison for this is Sekou Odinga (given name Nathaniel Burns). He was with the Black Liberation Army who joined the Weather Underground in the Brins robbery. Odinga is also the last name of a man who claims to be a cousin of Barack Hussein Obama. Raila Odinga incited violence in Kenya after losing an election. His father was associated with Barack Hussein Obama’s father.
While I have not been able to link Obama to Sekou Odinga...I wonder about this coincidence given that Obama was in NY “attending” Columbia University at the time.
Bernardine Dohrn worked at a shop called Broadway Baby

According to a 1982 New York Times report, Broadway Baby was implicated in an investigation of a series of violent armed robberies in New York—netting more than $2 million over a two-year span—committed by former Black Panthers and Weather Underground members in the early ‘80s.

Their aim? Global revolution, naturally. They needed cash, but the rich white parents weren’t in a giving mood. So their privileged offspring grabbed guns, pointed them at the faces of the working man and, sometimes, they pulled the trigger.

At Broadway Baby, customers often paid by check and used driver’s licenses for identification. On Dec. 28, 1979, information from two customer files was used to apply for two driver’s licenses at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. The fraudulent licenses were used to rent getaway cars for the gang.

The manager of Broadway Baby at that time? Bernardine Dohrn. Invetigators at the time pointed their fingers at Dohrn, who is now a law professor without a license to practice law, at Northwestern University.

Dohrn and her husband, fellow academic William Ayers, turned themselves into authorities in 1980, but the rump of the Weather Underground committed its final violent act in 1981, a Brinks trick robbery that ended up with the deaths of two police officers and a security guard.

In 1982, Dohrn was brought before a federal grand jury investigating radical conspiracies linked to the New York robberies. She refused to cooperate or to provide a signature sought by FBI handwriting analysts. Dohrn was held in contempt of the grand jury and imprisoned for seven months.

“safe houses,” which the Brink’s suspects visited after the robbery, were carefully analyzed and processed by crime scene technicians. Many fingerprints were lifted and identified, which gave cops additional leads. Several other members of the Weather Underground and the B.L.A. were soon arrested in coordinated raids with local law enforcement. One Cynthia Boston was located and arrested in a ranch house in Gallman, Mississippi in late October. The ranch was owned by another radical organization called the Republic of New Africa. Although she did not actively participate in the crime, Boston was charged with conspiracy in the Brink’s robbery and held on $500,000 bail. Two other suspects, Jeffrey Jones and Eleanor Raskin, were arrested in the Bronx when cops went to an apartment to execute a search warrant. Jones and Raskin, former members of the Weather Underground, were charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution after cops found bomb-making material in a Hoboken apartment in 1979.

Over the next few months, the F.B.I. continued its relentless search. On January 20, 1982, the F.B.I. located and arrested Donald Weems, AKA Kuwasi Balagoon in the Bronx. Two months later, on March 26, 1982, the Joint Terrorist Task Force arrested Chui Ferguson and Edward Joseph, AKA Jamal Baltimore, in a raid on a Bronx apartment. But the main target, the man that planned and carried out the murderous carnage in Nyack, Jeral Williams, AKA Mutulu Shakur, escaped and later fled the New York area.

This stuff just gets worse and worse:

“We are at war and have no respect for the laws, the verdict or the sentence. We will continue to maintain our position as freedom fighters!” they said. More than half the time the court was in session, the defendants boycotted the trial. They called the robbery an “expropriation” of funds that were needed to form a new country in a few select southern states that ideally would be populated only by blacks.

The defendants called only one witness, Nathaniel Burns, AKA Sekou Odinga, who claimed to be a soldier in the B.L.A. He said that his organization was “fighting for the liberation and self-determination of black people in this country.” Burns testified that the killings were suitable because the three dead men had interfered with the “expropriation” and therefore deserved to die. In his view, the theft of money was morally justified because those funds “were robbed through the slave labor that was forced on them and their ancestors.”

Clark and Gilbert, who sat in respectful silence while Burns testified, seemed impressed. When Burns completed his testimony, Gilbert thanked him profusely. “I just want to greet you, Comrade Odinga, and express my respect for you for twenty years of commitment, self-sacrifice for the New Afrikan people, and all oppressed people. Stay strong and I am really thrilled to have someone speak the truth in this courtroom for a change. Free the land!” Gilbert said.

Anybody ever here the story about the child of the Weather Underground convicted killer Kathy Boudin.

Her son, Chesa Boudin, 23, told the press that her mother wants to apologize personally to the victims’ families. “It’s very important to her that the families of those three men - know how terribly she feels about what happened,” he said.

Chesa’s father, David Gilbert, who drove one of the getaway vehicles in the bloody hold-up, is serving a 75-year-to-life sentence in Attica prison and will be eligible for parole himself in 2056. Gilbert has never cooperated with authorities in the investigation of the crime, which netted Boudin and friends $1.6 million in cash.

Chesa was later raised by comrades Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn

Chesa in 2008 would now be 28 years old. Funny how Obama said that Ayers had kids that went to school with his kids. I hope that some 527 or the McCain Campaign is really running the roots trail of anybody that Obama might have met along the way in NYC.

Chesa is not a boy scout either. He is a leftist like Ayers and Dohrn who raised him.

I believe the documentary has something on them doing robberies, some had rich parent, and there was anti-war supporters that probably donated;

Extensive archival material, including, photographs, film footage and FBI documents are interwoven with modern-day interviews to trace the group’s path, from its pitched battles with police on Chicago’s streets, to its bombing of the U.S. Capitol, to its successful endeavor breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison.

Maybe he thinks that if he brings him up someone else in the MSM might do a little digging and find this out. CNN has surprised us a little lately.

The link is a joke in that there is no evidence but wouldn’t doubt that Obama & Ayers/Dohrn are connected via their time in NYC.

Here’s a nice writeup on Chesa Boudin from a fellow Yalie.
“For most Yalies, the name Chesa Boudin ‘03 is not likely to ring a bell. He is the son of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, who in a 1981 robbery gone awry, aided in the murder of two police officers and a Brinks security guard in Nyack, N.Y. They were members of the Weathermen, a ragtag group of mostly white, mostly privileged kids who arose from the dark underbelly of the social and political upheaval of the 1960s. Chesa caused a minor stir in the media four years ago when he won a Rhodes scholarship, due to the way in which he spoke admirably of his parents’ sordid past. Today, he would not be worth writing a column about were it not for his obsession with keeping himself in the spotlight. Nor, for that matter, should the sins of the father be held against the son. But when the son rationalizes away those sins and conflates them with his own political work, he becomes harder to stomach. Last month, along with several other Western political pilgrims, Chesa was interviewed by The New York Times about his working for the regime of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. He has translated into English a book of interviews with Chavez and this year published “The Venezuelan Revolution: 100 Questions and 100 Answers.” He has delivered two master’s teas at Yale in the past few months, extolling the virtues of the Caudillo of Caracas.
The precocious bastard raised by Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn is also mentioned on the second page of this NY Times article about visitors to Hugo’s Venezuela.

If you have Dem friends that don’t want to visit FR (best site on the web as far as I’m concerned) - have them visit hillaryclintonforum.net. It’s primarily Hillary supporters that are supporting McCain-Palin (PUMA site) and might be quite eye-opening for them! I haven’t checked the other pages on there - usually read through the main page:
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/forumdisplay.php?f=84.

Not sure if it will be rerun - I would think either tonight (possibly at 12 eastern??) or even possibly next Sat. Check you’re local FNC listing.

Then why is any information about Obama’s days in NYC missing. I think that Barack Hussein Obama met Bill Ayer’s and Bernardine Dorhn while in NYC. That is why Obama always makes comments about not knowing about incidents that occured when he was 8 years old in the 1970’s.

I think that he was involved with Ayer’s and Dorhn in NYC when Obama was a 20 year old college student. Perhaps Ayer’s was a Grad assistant at Columbia or they met at a socialist meeting. Maybe a coffee shop or pehaps he was involved in the cover up of the Brinks heist.

There is a smoking issue to Obama in NYC. Otherwise why is his life a mystery?

WOW!! I remember seeing things on TV about this. Is there anything shady or dirty Obama does not have ties to? Birds of a feather flock together. It just gets deeper and deeper and deeper. God help us if this man wins in November.

Maybe the October surprise will be that Ayer’s and Barack Hussein Obama paths did cross in NYC. Otherwise how did they both end up in Chicago in the same area of town. Both on the Southside.

Hannity had done part 1 & 2. Maybe Part 3. Will be the ultimate bomb on this campaign. The Real October Surprise.

Can’t wait for the next segment.
