The Schwarz Report Dr. Fred Schwarz Volume 51, Number 3 Dr. David Noebel March 2011 Radicalizing the USA by Robert Knight The evidence is overwhelming. The media interest is zero. The UFO strategy is in force. Let me explain. I’m talking about the unsolved Weather Underground murder of San Francisco Police Officer Brian V. McDonnell. A bomb placed on Feb. 16, 1970 outside the Golden Gate Park police station ripped through Sgt. McDonnell, who died two days later. His killers never paid a price. Apart from simple justice, here’s why this open case still matters. According to testimony by undercover FBI agent Larry Grathwohl, William Ayers was almost certainly involved. Ayers helped launch Obama’s political career in 1995 at his home in Chicago and served on two boards with him. Ayers told Grathwohl that Ayers’ wife, Bernardine Dohrn, planted the bomb. In 1971, the FBI found Ayers’ fingerprints and those of other Weather Underground terrorists in an apartment that had been a bomb-making factory. Because of prosecutorial errors, Ayers went free, boasting, “Guilty as hell, free as a bird.” Dohrn remained underground until 1980, spent jail time for lesser charges, and then went on, like Ayers, to be a professor at a major college. Ayers was at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Dohrn is at Northwestern University. On Oct. 21, Larry Grathwohl told his story at a seminar at the National Press Club sponsored by America’s Survival, Inc. Moderator Cliff Kincaid, who recently obtained a 601-page FBI file of Barack Obama’s communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, unveiled a raft of speakers and evidence pointing to manipulation of American liberals by actual com- munist revolutionaries. Among the speakers was New Zealand blogger and investigative reporter Trevor Loudon, who uncovered former “green jobs czar” Van Jones’ communist background, which led to Jones’ resignation in 2009. Jones is now back at the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress. I spoke as well, reporting on the FBI file on Harry Hay, a Communist Party member off and on from 1934 to 1948 and a founder of the Mattachine Society, an early homosexual activist group. Hay also co-founded the Radical Faeries and championed the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). Hay was cited as an “inspiration” by longtime homosexual activist Kevin Jennings, whom Obama appointed as the nation’s “safe schools czar” at the U.S. Department of Education. Another speaker was Paul Kengor, best-selling author of a new book, Dupes: How America’s Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century. Dr. Kengor has the goods on numerous leftists, including the Hollywood Ten, who became famous during the McCarthy era. Four of them, according to FBI files, actually had Communist Party cards with membership numbers. It might be good to recall this the next time you see the media describe them as the “famed Hollywood Ten.” The evidence is so obvious that communists infiltrated many liberal causes and unions and that the liberal media have looked away while crying “McCarthyism.” I call this the UFO strategy. Even if you actually saw a UFO, you’d be con- sidered, uh, crazy. What’s different here is that the communist influence on America’s Left is no delusion. It is thoroughly documented. On Oct. 23, Kincaid, with a video camera, confronted both Ayers and Dohrn at an environmentalist event in Wash- ington, D.C. Kincaid: “Why did your husband tell [undercover FBI agent] Larry Grathwohl that you planted the bomb?” THE SCHWARZ REPOR T / MARCH 2011 Dohrn: “That is so stupid.” She went on to deny in- evidence about Frank Marshall Davis and his eight years volvement. influencing a young Barack Obama in Hawaii.

Stalin’s Cousins: EPA, FCC, In an onstage presentation, Dohrn addressed the charges in a pamphlet that Kincaid had circulated.
