Take a look at the members of the Weatherman Underground. It seems weird that most of the members of this neo-Marxist group came from Jewish families.

Attorney representing 9 federal employees slams Justice Department
A defense attorney representing one of the nine individuals indicted in federal court for looking up President Obama's student loan records characterized the Department of Justice's actions as a political prosecution.
"The only reason my client was prosecuted by the federal government was that happened to look up the student loan records of Barack Obama," attorney David R. Treimer of Davenport, Iowa, told WND.
Treimer represents John Phommivong, a 29-year-old who is the son of parents who fled Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.
Phommivong has pleaded guilty in the case and is awaiting a pre-sentencing conference in court with the prosecutors Aug. 31 and a sentencing hearing scheduled for Sept. 24.
He is charged in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Iowa with a criminal misdemeanor under 26 U.S.C. Section 1030, a broadly worded section of the federal code devoted to computer fraud that carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine, if convicted.
Phommivong also looked up student loan records for Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and John Wayne, according to Treimer.
"There was no criminal intent on the part of my client," Treimer insists. "He was just bored and to pass the time he used the National Student Loan Data System to look up the student-loan records of celebrities."
Treimer insisted that looking up Barack Obama's student loan records was what triggered his prosecution.

Chicago Tribune - Sunday, May 5, 1985
Author: Article by Nick Thimmesch.
Just about everything Philip Klutznick has done in his 77 years seems to
be upper case. He has been Secretary of Commerce under Jimmy Carter,
Ambassador to the United Nations` Economic and Social Council under President Kennedy, Federal Housing Commissioner under FDR, President-emeritus of the
World Jewish Congress and Honorary President of B`nai B`rith International.
(snip)
Klutznick`s success with Marshall Field led to the building of Water
Tower Place, a $180 million, 74-story amalgamation of stores, shops, offices, apartments, theaters and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. ``I got a call one day from a man named John Moore, who told me Phil had signed a $10 million contract to
start Water Tower Place,`` recalls Newton Minow, Klutznick`s attorney. ``He
told me Phil had written a four-line agreement on an envelope and signed it.
Moore sent a photostat. When I saw it, I knew it was Phil`s signature, so I
called him in New York, where he was in a meeting.
``Phil said, `I meant to tell you, Newt, but I didn`t want the deal to
evaporate.` I told him that wasn`t the way we wrote contracts today, but it
was binding. And that`s how Water Tower Place was bought.``
Klutznick`s firm, Urban Investment and Development Co., was sold to Aetna Life & Casualty Co. in 1970, and in 1984 was bought by JMB Realty Corp. of
Chicago. But Klutznick didn`t retire. He plunged into other projects, the most notable being Dearborn Park, begun in January of 1974. The plan is to complete a 3,000-unit, $250 million complex of middle-income housing on a 51-acre site in the South Loop near the historic Dearborn Station.
``We are doing inner-city development—the big push of the `80s—and this is the start,`` Klutznick said at the time. Recently, he explained how he and the other developers got the Dearborn Park project moving. ``We went to see
Mayor Daley ,`` Klutznick recalls. ``It was John Perkins, president of
Continental Illinois National Bank; Thomas Ayers , the retired chairman of
Commonwealth Edison; and myself. Daley just asked, `What do you need?` and I
told him an agreement for the land. He called in a city official and told him, `I don`t want anything put in their way, all right?` Then he told us that
if we had any trouble, come right back and see him. There was no delay in
working with Daley . We had to renegotiate with the city, but it took 60
minutes and a handshake with him, instead of six months with someone else.``

CHICAGO JEWS NURTURED OBAMA CAREER - HOPE RISING FOR TRUE MIDEAST PEACE ACCORD
Sun Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale, FL) - Sunday, December 14, 2008
Author: Tom Hundley Chicago Tribune
Writer Toni Morrison famously dubbed Bill Clinton “the first black president” - a title he fervently embraced.
Abner Mikva, the Chicago Democratic Party stalwart and former Clinton White House counsel, offers a variation on that theme. “If Clinton was our first black president, then Barack Obama is our first Jewish president,” says Mikva, who was among the first to spot the potential of the young law school graduate with the odd name.
(snip)
Putting aside which of the three great Abrahamic religions can lay claim to Obama’s soul, it is clear that his political career, from its South Side Chicago inception to the audacious run for the White House, was nurtured and enabled by a close-knit network of Chicago Jews.
Mikva and his friend Newton Minow, the former Federal Communications Commission chairman and Kennedy-era New Frontiersman, were there at the beginning. Minow first heard about Obama in 1988 from his daughter Martha, a professor at Harvard, where Obama was studying law. Minow, senior counsel at Sidley Austin, offered him an internship and later a job at the firm, but Obama declined, saying he was planning to go into politics.
When Obama graduated, Mikva, then a U.S. appeals court judge in Washington, tried to lure him with a prestigious clerkship, but Obama turned him down, too. That, according to Mikva, took some chutzpah.
Both Mikva and Minow say they sensed back then that Obama was something special. They made a point of staying in touch.
Obama’s circle of Jewish patrons and advisers widened further in 1992 when he became involved in a voter registration drive that brought him into contact with Bettylu Saltzman, a liberal activist (and daughter of the late Philip Klutznick , a former commerce secretary and shopping mall developer). Saltzman says she knew from the moment she met Obama that he would someday be president. She introduced him to David Axelrod, who saw something similar.
Axelrod designed the strategy in which Obama first won the backing of white liberals and then reached out to blacks. Jews made up a significant number of the first constituency.
“As Jews got to know him, they recognized a kindred spirit, not someone who came down from Mars,” Mikva said.
Rabbi Arnold Wolf, of KAM Isaiah Israel synagogue across the street from Obama’s Chicago home, was another early backer. Like Mikva, he sees what he called Obama’s “Jewish side.”
“Obama is from nowhere and everywhere - just like the Jews. He's black, he's white, he's American, he's Asian, he's African - and so are we,” Wolf said.
Certainly, Obama is comfortable with Jews. Axelrod will remain at his side as senior adviser, and Rep. Rahm Emanuel will be White House chief of staff. Billionaire Penny Pritzker , who has known Obama since the mid-1990s and served as his campaign finance chairwoman, was said to be under consideration for commerce secretary until she took herself out of the running.

Martha Minow Appointed Dean of Harvard Law School
President Drew Faust has appointed Smith professor of law Martha Minow dean of Harvard Law School, effective July 1; she succeeds Elena Kagan ...
WOW They are all connected....
“If Clinton was our first black president, then Barack Obama is our first Jewish president,” says Mikva, who was among the first to spot the potential of the young law school graduate with the odd name.

Oh, the irony .. and the treachery of his
purposeful, despicable manipulation.
God bless and protect Israel !
They are all connected ... first and second generation.
(No doubt, IMHO, BO was acquainted with Ayers from the get go.)
The Russian spies come to mind.
... She was born in Chicago on January 12, 1942. Her father, then Bernard Ohrnstein, was Jewish and changed the family name to Dohrn when Bernardine was in high school...
Why did they change their name? Why Dohrn? WHo else do we know that changed names? Did she ever use her original family name after dad changed it? Are there any links with others using that name?
News to me on Bernadette Dohrn!
Placemark - I have to read the thread backward at late night when I have time to myself.
“They are all connected ... first and second generation.’
Wouldn’t it be interesting to see how many of their parents were on McCarthy’s list. I’d bet dollars to donuts many of them were card carrying commies. We already know a few of their parents were commies. That seems to be the central thing uniting them all. They are all radical marxists.
Why doesn’t FR hire a good private investigator to round up some of Zero’s cryptodocuments?
There is alot of new information in this thread, for instance:
... She was born in Chicago on January 12, 1942. Her father, then Bernard Ohrnstein, was Jewish and changed the family name to Dohrn when Bernardine was in high school...
Why did they change their name? Why Dohrn? WHo else do we know that changed names? Did she ever use her original family name after dad changed it? Are there any links with others using that name?
. . . . Begin at # 52 and read to end of the thread - must be important, SP's are here.
[To The Ping List: - thanks for all the pings, and excellent research. Y'all are wonderful, and FR is fortunate you are posting on this site.]
Linking this thread to "The Long Thread".
( I'll be offline the rest of the day.)
I know we'd be fined if we don't cooperate with ObamaCare but isn't there also something about they would have access to our bank accounts for payments?
Is the fathers name/family name connected to anything else in history that we should be aware of.....?
It was not uncommon for American Jews (and others, such as Italian Americans or Polish Americans) to change their family names so as to make them less ethnic sounding and usually shorter. In many instances, this was done to mitigate prejudice and discrimination against them in the work place. Not usually anything sinister, like taking on a completely new identity might be.
In the case of the change from "Ohrnstein" (a recognizable Jewish name) to "Dohrn" (kind of German sounding), they took the OHRN from "Ohrnstein" and stuck a "D" in front of it. Why did they stick in a "D"? It's only a guess, but "d'" before a word or a name beginning with a vowel means "of" or "from" in French or Italian. Thus the new name would literally mean "from Ohrn." Again, in most instances, you can't infer anything sinister from that alone.
Yes, it was and despite what some say, numbers at that time were matched with addresses. I was born around the same time as Hussein and mine matches my residence state, hubby's matches his state, and the kids' match their state. Ok, I'm pulling out one folder of family genealogy... let's see... yep, every SSN matches each person's state.
Also, didn't that PI who found the multiple SSN say one number was first used in '83? Bill Ayers publicly claims he's has about 30 numbers and used different identities and he's still the toast of Chicago.
From FBI file on Weatherman: Link
From pg. 39 of part 1-a
“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”
This ideological statement from which the Weather Underground Organization derived its name “Weatherman” was introduced during the chaotic atmosphere of the June, 1969 National Convention of the Students for a Democratic Society. . .
From pg 41 of part 1-a
It is the oppressed peoples of the world who have created the wealth of this empire and it is to them that it belongs; the goal of the revolutionary struggle must be the control and use of this wealth in the interests of the oppressed peoples of the world . . .
The goal is the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism. Winning state power in the US will occur as a result of the military forces of the US overextending themselves around the world and being defeated piecemeal; struggle within the US will be a vital part of this process . . .
