I first interviewed the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground for the FBI – Larry Grathwohl – on November 2nd, 2008. It was two days before Barack Obama was elected president and what prompted that interview was a two minute video of Grathwohl from a documentary filmed in 1982 about what he witnessed in 1969. Bill Ayers and Company had some diabolically grandiose plans after overthrowing the United States government.
Said Grathwohl,
They (Weather Underground) expected that the Cubans, the North Vietnamese, the Chinese, and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States.

When viewing such a statement through the prism of the late 1960’s, one could almost be excused for a roll of the eyes. When Grathwohl recorded the segment above for cameras In 1982 – at the height of the cold war – Reagan was leading the United States and the malaise of the Carter years had been replaced with the ‘peace through strength’ mindset; Weather Underground’s foreign allies were considered unequivocal enemies of America.
In 2010, Grathwohl’s statement should ring alarm bells as so many high-ranking people responsible for defending the Constitution of the United States seem to have nothing but contempt for it. This is a matter of national security and Grathwohl’s words must be viewed through a completely different lens.
The Congressional Black Caucus, a body to which our president once proudly belonged, has been cozying up to Castro. Remember California congresswoman Diane Watson singing the Cuban leader’s praises? The handling of the Russian spy case has grown increasingly suspicious; Russia has been expanding its presence and flexing its muscle – with either the tacit approval of Barack Obama or his ill-advised deference – in our hemisphere lately; Islamists in the United States more than compensate for any lack of North Vietnamese communists. For example, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a document lifting the ban on Tariq Ramadan – grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hasan al-Banna – that once prohibited him from setting foot in the United States.
Perhaps even more blatantly obvious – providing as much nuance as a bull in a china closet – are the number of people Obama is connected with who have a disturbingly high reverence for the most prolific mass murderer of the twentieth century, China’s Mao Zedong. That includes Bill Ayers. Even many on the left have given up explaining away the relationship between the unrepentent terrorist and Obama. The title of the Weather Underground’s 1974 book, “Prairie Fire” was apparently plucked from a Mao quote that said, “A single spark can start a prairie fire.”
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
For at least three years in the 1990’s, Barack Obama shared a business address with not only Bill Ayers but also Mike Klonsky, a Maoist. Co-founder of the Weather Underground, Jeff Jones, is a prominent member of the Apollo Alliance – the group that helped write the disastrous stimulus bill. Of course, there’s Anita Dunn, Ron Bloom, and the countless other czars who seem to have more affinity for marxist principles than for American, God-fearing ones. And let’s not forget Hillary’s Deputy, Michael Posner apologizing to China for Arizona’s immigration law.
In today’s world, economic and cyber warfare has virtually supplanted militaristic, nation-on-nation aggression as the preferred path to superiority. As things stand now, the United States and China are in a mutual economic death grip with the latter having the ability to call while the former has only the leverage of threatened production decimation in China as a consequence of that call.
Notwithstanding Taiwan being the one trigger that could change how the United States and China might one day do battle, both nations are jockeying for better position, looking for an edge.
Now back to Grathwohl’s firsthand account of the Weather Underground’s intentions,
They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter-revolution….
If 1960’s revolutionaries are now in power, the Tea Party would almost necessarily be viewed by them as a counter-revolutionary movement. Interestingly, the Tea Party movement seems to be this administration’s “immediate responsibility” too. The president is aggressively and sardonically opposing those who revere this country’s founding principles. Meanwhile, the nation states and entities Grathwohl said the Weather Underground wanted to aid in bringing down America seem to get a pass and with it, perhaps an edge, courtesy of Obama.
