We are known by the company we keep.

President Downgrade has long been buddies with a guy by the name of Bill Ayers.  It's said that his political career began in Mr. Ayers' Chicago home.  So, who is Bill Ayers?  What is his history?  What does he believe?

• Ayers was not simply protesting "against" the Vietnam War. Firstly, he wasn't against war in principle, he was agitating for the victory of the communist forces in Vietnam. In other words: He wasn't against the war, he was against our side in the war. This is spelled out in great detail in Prairie Fire. Secondly, and more significantly, the Vietnam War was only one of many issues cited by the Weather Undergound as the justifications for their violent acts. As you will see below, in various quotes from Prairie Fire and in their own list of their violent actions (and in additional impartial documentary links), Ayers and the Weather Underground enumerated dozens of different grievances as the rationales for their bombings -- their overarching goal being to inspire a violent mass uprising against the United States government in order to establish a communist "dictatorship of the proletariat," in Ayers' own words.

• Ayers and his co-authors freely brag about their bombings and other violent and illegal acts, and even provide a detailed list, most likely typed up by Ayers himself, of the crimes they had committed up to that point. Ayers' list, scanned directly from Prairie Fire, is shown below. He may have escaped conviction due to a legal technicality (the prosecutors failed to get a warrant during some of their surveillance of the Weather Underground), but this in no way means that Ayers was factually innocent of the crimes. As has been widely reported, after the case against him was dropped, Ayers decribed himself as "guilty as hell, free as a bird."

• Just because Ayers tries to appear respectable now doesn't mean that he wasn't a violent revolutionary in the past. In fact, as the text of Prairie Fire shows, Ayers was one of the most extreme extremists in American political history. And as the links given as the end of this essay will prove, Ayers is just as politically radical now as he was back then. He has never renounced the political views he professed in the 1960s and 1970s. The only difference is that now he no longer commits violence to achieve his goals. After his stint as the leader of the Weather Underground, he shifted to a different tactic: to spread his ideology under the aegis of academia. But the goal remains the same: to turn America into a communist nation. Ayers' contemporary writings contain many of the same ideas (and even the same phrases) found in Prairie Fire, just toned down to make them more palatable in polite society.

The linked essay is a breakdown of one of Mr. Ayers' seminal writings, Prairie Fire.  It's long, but well worth the read to understand the mentality of those who intend to rule us.  I enjoin you to RTWT, as well as engage in your own research on this man and others with which our President has chosen to surround himself.  Need a bit more motivation?


Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl, who had infiltrated and joined the Weather Underground, described their post-revolution governing plans for the United States in this video taken from the 1982 documentary "No Place to Hide." The Weather Underground openly discussed exterminating 25 million Americans who refused to be "re-educated" into communism.

Here's a transcript of his interview:

I bought up the subject of what's going to happen after we take over the government. We, we become responsible, then, for administrating, you know, 250 million people.

And there was no answers. No one had given any thought to economics; how are you going to clothe and feed these people.

The only thing that I could get, was that they expected that the Cubans and the North Vietnamese and Chinese and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States.

They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter-revolution. And they felt that this counter-revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing re-education centers in the southwest, where we would take all the people who needed to be re-educated into the new way of thinking and teach them... how things were going to be.

I asked, well, what's going to happen to those people that we can't re-educate; that are die-hard capitalists. And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these re-education centers. And when I say eliminate, I mean kill. 25 million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.

And they were dead serious."

-- Larry Grathwohl, former member of the Weather Underground




These are the people who are now running the country.  God help us.

  1. Oh the scum that is the tea party. President downgrade indeed.

    Popped back after a short holiday across the pond | Still amazed at the degree of felonious $tupidity that is the tea party.

    It brings in stark relief parents' and teachers' warnings about the !diot friends that had a rather dodgey grasp on learning and comprehending what it was they were at school for. True to form, they'd run trite campaigns for class prefect with entrities like; if i become prefect
    what is that? i can see your peasant minds begin to lurch into questioning [just take the word - with your thinking abilities herein displayed, you are most likely too dum6 and wouldn't have been in a school that had such a structure so...take my word for it - it's a suitable lable for your illiterate a$$ sheeeeeeshh]

    ...Like i was saying before taking a detour to have you keep up - they'd run campaigns with mandates or manifestos suggesting, 'if i get elected, i'll see to it that we get less homework, i'll see to it that we have longer holidays and i'll also see to it that we do less math and science classes = a lot like what you are offered by the buffoons in charge right now but are to myopic to see the wood for the trees.

    Alternative, since fox hasn't told you what to think, you resort to simple one liners that require ZERO processing power ergo:
    -Cut and run
    -Freedom fries
    -Give the enemy a timetable when we are leaving
    -We'll never forget - only to have one of your grand wizards [glenn beck] state he is tired of the nine eleven widows.

    That you are retarded, hey, as long as it floats your boat, go ahead. My resentment is from the fact that i spent a lot of the last decade working round the clock to make sure clowns like you were safe.

    With remarkable ignorance of the things to keep your foolish racist behinds safe, you utter rubbish like "these are the people who are now running the country. {How dare you then insert the creators name in such a negative analysis you offspring of a cross-eyed rattle snake?}

    YOU CAN SCRAP THE COMMENT. I WOULD HAVE BEEN PLEASANTLY SURPRISED IF YOU'D RESPECTED THE FIRST AMENDMENT. I MEAN I'M ONLY A CITIZEN RIGHT?

  2. Judged by the company we keep? Really? Using that as the plumbline, how do you then explain:
    "Spain to Investigate Saudi Prince for Sexual Assault" - Only little issue is that Talil is a grand puba in fox's parent comnpany so it isn't good business to share he is being investigated for rape in 2008 that's been reopened by the appeals court or that the other grand pubas - of Aussie origin are really beginning to feel all kinds of heat in the UK. The company we keep indeed!

    Oh that's right:
    a.)Fox hasn't mentioned it, the druggie blimp hasn't had it cross his radar - out of sight out of mind. If it comes up, get the empty caricatures of womanhood [m. kelly et al] to front it. They've even managed to warp what it means to be a woman through these bimbos and their pretentious indignation plus the token philipine female hound. [GARDEN TOOLS]

    B.)Gallagher [An abuse of the name no doubt given the person using it > O Gallchobhair in Irish, signifies descendants of Gallchobhar or Gallagher, who was himself descended from the King of Ireland. Mike Gallagher isn't worthy to feed the royal pigs.

    ...the usual suspects. Some of them make me wonder though. Stuart Varney. You do realise you can never work on air in Europe again don't you? Hope it was worth the 30 pieces of silver [he'll get it. YOU WON'T! Trust me!

    ....AGAIN - PLEASE FEEL FREE TO VIOLATE MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND SCRAP IT. One question - How do you sleep at night Wallace with how you've sold your soul to this organisation [a recurring them with the right] Chris Wallace was once described as, "one of the great network television journalists" you, his offspring,keeping his name, came to be known as an errand boy for the loonies. If you've had any, i sincerely hope you haven't passed that weakness of spine and character to your children.

    Jon Stewart put it best. Paraphrasing,"You'll never get it because of the 'soup you swim in'" You parent most certainly must be disappointed. GET A REAL JOB that will make you feel better. You are better than this hate , fear, suspicion and negativity you business you are now peddling.
