William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn:
Will They Finally Pay for Their Crimes
March 13, 2009
 

On March 12th, at the National Press Club in Washington DC the day finally arrived. Thirty-nine (39) years after the murder of Sergeant Brian V. McConnell by domestic terrorists, a renewed attempt to affect justice has begun.

Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant who infiltrated the domestic terrorist organization Weather Underground – who I have come to interview several times on my nationally syndicated radio program – has formally declared that there is irrefutable and compelling reason to believe that William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn – now both “professors” – are directly responsible for the murder of Sgt. McConnell. These thugs, these self-admitted domestic terrorists, are just two of the many questionable associates of President Barack Obama. Isn’t that precious?

Also present at this enlightening press event were Jim Pera, retired San Francisco Police Sergeant – one of the first on the scene of the Park Station bombing; Herbert Romerstein, former congressional investigator – who commented on the very violent history of the Weather Underground; Trevor Loudon, anti-communist researcher – talking of Ayers and Dohrn’s influence and movement on College campuses and Cliff Kincaid, veteran journalist and president of America’s Survival Inc. – talking of the media’s need to represent the whole truth on this issue and defining the present plans of the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) and Weather Underground.

It is truly shocking to imagine that in the United States of America – a country based on the rule of law and not the rule of men – that William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn could somehow escape justice after being linked to so many crimes and terrorist acts, and now, allegedly, the heinous murder of Sergeant McConnell. According to accounts revealed in a letter by the San Francisco Police Officer’s Union, eight (8) other officers were seriously injured in the explosion at Park Station.

Jim Kouri, vice president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, points out what we can only hope is the obvious; that this renewed effort will finally bring this case to a close, forcing, by the hand of blind justice, Ayers and Dohrn to pay for their crimes.

I pray that as the stark light of truth is shined down once again upon these two supercilious, deceitful domestic terrorists that the relentless pursuit of justice finally wipes the smirks of untouchable arrogance from the faces of these two “award winning” professors.

In the face of their actions – and especially their devil-may-care attitudes toward the death and destruction they perpetrated upon innocents – I find it hard to acknowledge, and for that matter care, about their doctorates, professorships and careers. In the face of what can inarguably be described as “war crimes” – a declaration validated by their own declaration of war on the United States, by their own definition – any actions that could be construed as admirable, in education or community service, are irreparably overshadowed and invalidated. An advanced degree of education does not absolve anyone for violent acts committed against innocents, for whatever the cause.

I recall, back in March of 2008, before the Presidential election and before Good Friday, being contacted by a former CIA agent and another high level official about the links between William Ayers and Mr. Obama regarding the Woods Foundation, the Annenberg Chicago Challenge and other projects. I wrote and published an article on the information I received then, having done so on – ironically – on Good Friday. I then revealed the information afforded to me on my radio program. This information and these associations were already publicly accessible; available to all with just a bit of determination and access to a good search engine; a search engine that doesn't skew its query results on the basis of ideology (Google).

Prior to this a scant few others had found it important to vet Mr. Obama’s radical relationship, an abdication of civic responsibility also engaged in by the mainstream media. After my Good Friday article, Sean Hannity found the subject important enough to explore, doing so for the remainder of the election cycle. But few others wanted to acknowledge Mr. Obama’s radical, Socialist and neo-Marxist associations for the fact that it did not coincide with the advancement of their ideological, one-world agenda for our country. Even fewer could imagine that a man vying for the most powerful position in the world would have amassed such a nefarious number of politically damaging ideological skeletons. It was as if our media – a media protected by the First Amendment for its responsibility to vet just such associations – had not only abdicated their First Amendment inferred responsibilities, but had, in fact, become part of the anti-American, neo-Marxist revolution that, to this very day, threatens our Constitutional Republic.

It’s time for the wrong that was perpetrated at Park Station on February 16, 1970, to be addressed by the swift sword of justice, tried and true. It is time that Sgt. McDonnell rest in peace, that his family have the closure that has eluded them for thirty-nine (39) years. It is time for the United States justice system to respond in kind to William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn’s “declaration of war.”
