ALMOST seven years ago, this investigative journalist received an urgent shout-out to write the first book review for the reintroduction of BRINGING DOWN AMERICA: An FBI Informant with the Weathermen (by Larry Grathwohl and Frank Reagan, originally published in 1976). Upon reading the manuscript, the following was written and featured at American Thinker: 

During a dangerously volatile period of domestic terrorism, young anarchists were plotting the upending of America. In the vanguard stood the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers. Implanted in 1969 in the heart of a revolutionary movement, Larry Grathwohl, a 22-year-old Vietnam vet, found himself acting as an FBI informant. Inserted into the Weather Underground organization under deep cover, he became privy to their terror plots as well as the leadership’s “reasoning”. It is this facet which still resonates today. BRINGING DOWN AMERICA is a gripping tale of plots and subplots, each one aimed at “the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie [and] the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat”, as Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and Jeff Jones exhorted in their 1974 manifesto, “Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism.” The subtext of this gripping memoir is brought to the fore in Chapter 14: “The Cover Is Blown:”

Once in the van we drove around the city… while we were driving Maynard & Green (my FBI handlers) began telling me about the mystery man waiting for me. He was an Arab guerrilla. My meeting was to be in strict confidence. They refused to tell me why he was in the country, how he got in, obviously he was working for the U.S….

The implication was very clear. The FBI understood that the Weathermen were deepening their foreign ties. It was inevitable that Arab terror contacts would be made. Thus, Ali Baba, an Arab informant, was sending a warning to Larry: having him as a “go-between” would mitigate any hesitation to cooperate with the Weathermen, in effect, keeping the FBI one step ahead.

Not only that, Ali Baba issued other warnings to Larry: “the Arabs plan to strike at the next Olympic games in 1972 [reviewer’s note: and they made good on their threat] and there is talk of doing something at the World’s Fair in Spokane in 1974.”

For the record, El (Al) Fatah was the referenced Arab guerrilla group. Yes, the very same terror outfit spawned by the godfather of suicide terror, “Chairman” Yasir Arafat, a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. In tandem, the Weathermen conspired with the KGB and attendant communist regimes. The war being waged against the U.S. by the radical left and Islamist jihadis is premised on the U.S. as the Western spear and Israel as its twin “imperialistic” cousin. It has been playing out for decades, in one form or another. Nothing has changed other than the fact that many escaped justice and are entering their senior years. Despite their advancing age, they are as dangerous as ever — perhaps more so. Bill Ayers, the foremost leader of the Weathermen “is in his third decade as a national leader in the movement to radicalize the educational training of schoolteachers”. His wife, Bernardine Dohrn, a top leader too “is a professor of law at Northwestern and a high-ranking officer in the American Bar Association.” Eleanor Raskin (ne Stein) “is a law professor at S.U.N.Y Albany and, astonishingly, a NYS administrative law judge”. Jeff Jones “currently heads the New York-based Apollo Alliance, a highly influential coalition of labor leaders and environmentalists, and was responsible for drafting President Obama’s 2009 Recovery Act.”

The list of “respectable” cover, of other “notables” in the Weathermen, is equally impressive. Through a stringently planned operational “stealth jihad“, yesteryear’s Weathermen have returned, fully primed to carry out their original goal — the “transformation” of Amerika. Most significantly, they subvert the national interest from a distinctly dangerous vantage point. They are currently ensconced in some of the most powerful positions in academia and political life. The only difference is, this time they are dressed in “capitalist” garb, not only in their clothing choices, but in the wealth they have accumulated, paradoxically, through joining the “establishment”. Who said one can’t enrich oneself, but at the same time deny the masses/proletariat said wealth potential? Highly dangerous in their bomb-making days, their capacity to cripple America, sans firing actual weaponry is that much greater at this critical juncture in time. Deeply involved in the “transformation” process, as promised by President Obama, many of them working inside the executive branch, while others operate through progressive think tanks, they want nothing more than to distance themselves from their bloody past. Therefore, an omerta has descended from the denizens of the leftist media and their powerful organs.

So the timing of this book release couldn’t be more prescient. Although the mainstream media will surely attempt to shield the aforementioned from the facts borne out by the record, they are nothing more than “koshered” domestic terrorists.

Many westerners believe that history is behind them and therefore has no relevance to their lives. Nothing could be further removed from reality, or more deadly. In this regard, stepping back in time to the late 1960’s and into the 1970’s couldn’t be more imperative or instructive.

AS it happened, this writer’s body of work, in relation to the red-green axis (an amalgamation of socialists/Marxists/communists, in concert with like-minded revolutionary Islamists), caught their attention.

YES, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. To wit, the red-green axis is a “natural” alliance; in sync bedfellows, albeit, temporary in nature.

IN this regard, as soon as it became known that George-the-devil-incarnate-Soros (a Judenrat, during the Holocaust) turned his anti-American/anti-Israel/anti-western laser towards destroying the U.S. (most recently, by implanting radical, revolutionary appointments within the legal system) well, alarm bells started to ring at this end. As is known, once a viper, always a viper. 

{Chesa Boudin fist-bumps his way to San Fran’s total destruction!}

AND though revolutionary-leaning DA’s (and other so-called legal appointments) are ensconced in various Demster-controlled cities – due to “dark money” pumped through a network of Soros’ front-groups – the appointment of San Fran’s DA Chesa Boudin is the most frightening, even by the radical standards of a city which has reached the depths of hell.

OMINOUSLY, the appointment of Boudin (spawn of not one, but two domestic terrorists ala the hierarchy of the blood-soaked Weathermen) to the top post in San Fran’s legal system bespeaks of a danger to the nation, like few others. Guaranteed. Again, it never could have happened without MEGA political and financial muscle, the likes of which has yet to bear fruit, so to speak.

Newly-installed San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin summarily fired seven key felony prosecutors on Friday, despite campaign promises to clean up violent crime in the city.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported the firings, which were the most dramatic since a new DA fired 10% of the staff in 1995:

Some firings, the Chronicle noted, were not quite a surprise, as Boudin had run specifically against adding “gang enhancements” to prosecutions, arguing that such prosecutions were aimed disproportionately at minority defendants.

But others were a surprise. The Chronicle cited sources who said the effect on morale among the 135 prosecutors was “devastating.”

Boudin is the son of two Weather Underground radicals who were getaway drivers in a 1981 armored car heist that led to the deaths of two police officers and a guard, the UK Guardian recalled.

Though Boudin promised to stop violent crime in the city, he also campaigned against prosecuting what he called “quality-of-life” crimes in San Francisco, such as public urination, and said he would “decriminalize” homelessness.

Boudin has responded to public criticism of the firings, telling NBC Bay Area: “”It should not come as a surprise to anybody that a newly-elected official would want to make staff changes.”

However, critics contend that some of the prosecutors he fired would have followed his orders regardless of their past records.

One of the fired attorneys reiterated to Bay Area public radio station KQED: “I think the impact on morale is going to be devastating.”

DEAR reader, this is where Boudin’s worldview comes from….the apple doesn’t fall far from the (terror) tree. Overwhelmingly, “prison reform” is merely the tip of his “transformation” agenda!

In 1981, when Chesa Boudin was 14 months old, his parents — members of the radical and violent Weather Underground — left him with a babysitter so they could take part in an armored car robbery. It became one of New York’s most notorious botched heists, a crime that left two police officers and a Brink’s truck guard dead in a New York suburb.

Thirty-eight years later, Boudin is set to become San Francisco’s top prosecutor. In a matter of weeks, he will be sworn in as the city’s district attorney, the latest in a line of prosecutors seen as criminal justice reformers who are taking the reins across the country.

Like his peers on the left, Boudin ran on a platform of ending “mass incarceration,” eliminating cash bail, creating a unit to review wrongful convictions and refusing to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, as well as prosecuting ICE agents who violate so-called sanctuary city laws. He also wants to move the district attorney’s office away from prosecuting prostitution and minor quality-of-life crimes to focus, instead, on taking on corporations and prioritizing the most serious offenses.

Boudin, 39, spent decades visiting his parents in prison and, as a result, learned the ins and outs of the criminal justice system from a unique vantage point. Boudin’s parents were getaway drivers in the attempted Brink’s robbery in 1981 in Nanuet, New York, about 35 miles north of New York City. His mother, Kathy Boudin, pleaded guilty to murder and robbery and was imprisoned for more than two decades. His father, David Gilbert, is still behind bars after he was convicted of murder and robbery.

IN no uncertain terms, if a mirror-like exhibit is required as per the proof of what awaits, that is, when a revolutionary takes over a city’s helm, look no further than to  Marxist/Commie-driven Mayor of NYC, Bill de Blasio – as he lets loose criminals to prey upon an unsuspecting public, instead of ensuring their safety, as sworn to execute. In fact, serial offenders – newbies, alike – have zero fear of the so-called powers that be. Crime, it does pay!

IN fact, the following is just one knock-on effect (out of countless to come) to the above wretched course: a serial bank robber in NYC very well knows the radical calculus – as messaged by NYC’s revolutionary Mayor, as well as like-minded officials across the nation. Yes, have no fear, the (1960’s/1970’s) goals of the Weathermen and the Black Panthers, though decades later, have overtaken the nation’s legal system – one DA appointment at a time!!

The insanity of the new law clearly wasn’t lost on the prime suspect.“I can’t believe they let me out,” Woodberry marveled as he retrieved his vouchered property at One Police Plaza in lower Manhattan, sources told The Post. “What were they thinking?”

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea voiced his frustration after The Post broke Woodberry’s story online Saturday.

“What motivation does this suspect have to return to court? None,” Shea tweeted.

INCONTESTABLY, sans proper law enforcement, the ability to provide law and order is dead on arrival. DOA. Once said breakdown occurs, each and every state, city, and small town throughout the nation will become “transformed.” Effectively, the disintegration of city by city – by the likes of Boudin – occurs piece by piece, stealth by stealth, that is, until the nation becomes akin to a third world hell-hole! Unrecognizable.

FOREWARNED!
