In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Black Hand, forerunners of the Mafia, planted bombs at stores and residences belonging to successful NItalians as a tactic in extortion schemes. To combat this evil, the New York Police Department (NYPD) founded the Italian Squad under Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino, who enthusiastically pursued those gangsters. Petrosino was assassinated in Palermo, Sicily, while investigating the criminal back- ground of mobsters active in New York. The Italian Squad was the gen- esis of today’s Bomb Squad.

Judge Damon Keith: The Judicial Antidote to Judge Julius Hoffman Challenging Claims of Unilateral Executive Authority Ellen Yaroshefsky* From some of the highly-publicized trials of the 1960s—namely the trials of the Chicago Eight, Panther Twenty-One, and Weathermen—we can draw indispensable lessons about the role of the judges in upholding and promoting a fair justice system. The contrast to Judge Julius Hoffman’s notorious injudicious conduct in the Chicago Eight case is the courageous, thoughtful Judge Damon Keith, in the less publicized White Panther case in Detroit in the early 1970s. Judge Keith’s overriding sense of fairness exemplified the best of judicial independence in considering President Nixon’s claims of unilateral executive authority in United States v. Ayers and United States v. U.S. District Court. Judge Keith’s exemplary judicial conduct is an embrace of judicial independence that provides inspiration in current times.

  • The Communist Drug Connection
    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.

  • The Greatest Snow (Job) on Earth
    The Greatest Snow (Job) on Earth “All the world’s a stage.“ – William Shakespeare The purpose of this program is to show how a series of events that took place over a period of decades, since the 1960’s, involving a strange cast of chaos-creating characters (hidden networks), were not random at all but, rather, scripted, orchestrated events with the goal of covertly rolling out an intended outcome - Communism. ACT I – Devastation by Deception "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." - Matthew 7:15, KJV SCENE 1: Communism Kills – Death of the Soul Using political operatives, scripted events and communist-“socialist” ideology disguised as popular movements with empty promises made to unwitting peoples (deception), unscrupulous actors backed by wealthy bankers seized complete control of countries, as happened in Bolshevik Soviet Russia, Communist China, Cuba, East Germany and North Korea, creating chaos, destroying all vestiges of culture and history, stealing all wealth, committing unspeakable crimes against humanity, killing millions, leaving the countries in devastation, and condemning the people to poverty and despair. The communist menace continues and has been cunningly exported to America, over several decades. “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't 2 ptaccept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like over ripe fruit into our hands.” - Nikita Khrushchev Mocking quote of Nikita Khrushchev, Former Premier of the Soviet Union and 1st Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1953-1964), during the Cold War and Kennedy Years.

Box 1246 Waterville, ME 04903 Tel. 207-872-5111 Fax: 207-872-5502 [email protected] SYNOPSIS Hello, I’m going to read a declaration of a state of war... within the next 14 days we will attack a symbol or institution of American injustice. Bernardine Dohrn Thirty years ago, with those words, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. In THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, former Underground members, including Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, David Gilbert and Brian Flanagan, speak publicly about the idealistic passion that drove them to bring the war home and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI s most wanted list. Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 70s-bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world. Ultimately, the group s carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history, yet the group s members would reemerge to life in a country that was dramatically different than the one they had hoped their efforts would inspire.

The editors’ foreword endorses egalitarian thinkers from the history of education, start- ing with Jean Jacques Rousseau and continu- ing with several named and unnamed 20th and 21st-century radicals whose thinking about education has been inseparable from thinking about a more just society and about the elimi- nation of “unjustified suffering, unnatural loss and unnecessary pain” (xii). William Ayers is not only one of the editors of the series, but also the author of Teaching with Conscience in an Imperfect World. The review would not be complete without a brief digression to look into the author’s life history.
