Barack Obama’s Cop-Killer Supporters
October 05, 2008 02:00 PM EST
by Jim Kouri - While Barack Obama’s friends and supporters in the news media downplay his friendship and business relationship with former terrorist and Marxist university professor Willam Ayers, one aspect of the Ayers terrorism saga that’s totally ignored is his reputation as a cop-killer.
For instance, in Nyack, New York, Ayers’ terrorist group the Weather Underground launched an armored-car robbery that left two Nyack, NY police officers — Officer Waverly Brown and Sergeant Ed O’Grady — mortally wounded. In addition, the Brinks armored-car driver, Peter Paige was also shot to death by the Weathermen.
Quite simply, Ayers’ group of killers left five children without fathers as a result of the brutal and vicious armored car robbery.
Progressives for Obama signatories include Weathermen Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd. Machtinger helped author the the mission statement of the Weathermen that called for revolutionaries within the United States to wage a ‘people’s war’ and attack from within. The government would fall and ‘world communism’ eventually would be instituted.
In addition to the New York police officers killed, a 1970 pipe bomb in San Francisco set by the group killed another police officer and critically wounded yet another cop. When given the opportunity to serve on boards and appear at press conferences with Ayers, an up-and-coming politician named Barack Obama jumped at the chance.
Recently released records from the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois, Chicago show that Obama and Ayers attended board meetings, retreats and press conferences from 1995 to 2001 as directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
Another major fundraiser for Obama is William Ayers, who also sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama and is a professor at the University of Chicago.
Bill Ayers — along with his wife Bernadine Dohrn — was an active member of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group that advocated violence against the United State. Both Ayers and Dohrn went “underground” in 1970 after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in a Greenwich Village (New York City) townhouse. The blast killed three of the group’s members including Ayers’ girlfriend at the time.
While Ayers and Dohrn were hiding from law enforcement, the Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the US Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building. In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged “government legal misconduct.” In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, “I don’t regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Ayers and Dohrn are known to have held at least one fundraiser for Barack Obama in their Chicago home.
During Obama’s last year on the board of The Woods Fund (2002), he participated in awarding grants, including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi. In another suspected quid pro quo arrangement similar to those with Ayers and Rezko, Rashid Khalidi also held a fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama.
In the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi was known as a man to be reckoned with. From 1972 through 1983, Khalidi was the director in Beirut of the official Palestinian press agency, FAFA. His wife worked there as well.
According to sources who served in the US Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, when the Khalidi’s left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, Rashid was honored with the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at that Ivy League university. Their goodbye party in Chicago included testimonials from Bill Ayers and Barack Obama.

Granny lost of googles on Cuba and WU...I suspect Mexico too.
FYI
Thirty-four years ago this past January, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, Howard Machtinger (pictured,although never mentioned in the DVD) among others, established their murderous foco (communist collective) in the San Francisco Bay area, intent upon killing cops.
They built anti-personnel bombs and detonated them at The Berkeley, CA Police Department, injuring officers there on February 13, 1970. (If you listened closely to the narrative on this DVD you heard about indictments in Detroit by a grand jury that were handed down, for those bombings-FBI illegalities quashed them later).
Another bombing committed by the WU three days later, took the life of a police officer. Although Dohrn and her FOCO know they injured and killed, a close examination of their words will note they said they never injured anyone with their bombs-after the March townhouse mistake.
Ayers and others say they learned to build bombs and operate weapons by themselves. They fail to mention their weapon and bomb-making training in Cuba, by Cuban Intelligence(DGI), the North Vietnamese and even the Soviet KGB, (in Cuba and Canada and other countries). Nor do Green and Seigel mention the Venceremos Brigades.
VB is a very large part of this story. American radicals began taking training there in 1969. The intelligence agencies mentioned above taught our young communist/anarchists how to “bring the war home to Amerika”. But this story is about Communism and the overthrow of Democracy-not the Vietnam war! The Venceremos Brigades recruits still go to Cuba today, to learn ways to bring terrorism, not only to the U.S., but anywhere there is a chance to re-establish Communism.
Castro’s embargo by the United States will never be lifted as long as he continues to train anarchists. Ever heard of the ALF and the ELF? Perhaps Green and Seigel are unaware of the “complete story”? Or WAS this a “puff piece”? Another reviewer apparantly felt that Brian Flanagan had somehow changed. Msrs. Green and Seigel apparantly interviewed Judge Richard Elrod (name noted in the Thanks section) who I believe Flanagan paralyzed for life in Chicago, by striking him in the neck. (Where was that interview? I’m sure they’d say that the editor made them take it out, right?)
I wonder if Flanagan shed as many tears for Elrod as he did in the DVD for his dead anarchist friends at the New York townhouse. Revisionist history for the WU and the Black Panthers will not wash. The truth will come. Dohrn, Jaffe, Ayers, as teachers and Cuba as a terrorist nation, are preparing the next generations to continue “the Movement” (read Communist) fight.
