Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist from the 1960s, is back. He’s out reminiscing about the good old days and inspiring the pro-Hamas protesters on the University of Chicago campus.
To walk down memory lane a little bit, Ayers was a co-founder of the Weather Underground. It was a revolutionary group that sought to overthrow what they viewed as American imperialism. The group was designated as a domestic terrorist group by the FBI. The group set off bombs at public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s to protest the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Fortunately, there were no deaths caused by their bombs – except for three members of the group who were killed when one of their devices accidentally exploded. That seemed like karma.
Ayers was hunted as a fugitive for years until charges against him were dropped due to illegal actions by the FBI agents who were pursuing him and others. So, naturally, Ayers landed at the University of Chicago as a professor in the School of Education.
His wife is Bernadine Dohm. She was also a leader in Weather Underground. She went on to be a lawyer and law professor. They were both University of Chicago students when they turned to domestic terrorism. It was the 60s.
Back in the day, they chose big targets for bombing. Ayers was hunted by the FBI for his (alleged) involvement in the 1970 bombing of the New York City Police Department headquarters, the 1971 bombing of the United States Capitol building, and the 1972 bombing of the Pentagon. In the years that followed those bombings, Ayers defended them. I wonder if he still does.
A return to 1968 is happening within the Democrat Party. The far-left tends to be violent and loves chaos. It’s the party’s history. This year has a 1968 vibe to it because of the demonstrations that turn into riots on college campuses, allegedly in the name of supporting Gazans. It took a few weeks but the truth has been exposed – they support Hamas and wish for the destruction of Israel, all Jews, and America.
It seems appropriate that Bill Ayers, now listed as a creative writing lecturer in the school’s Division of the Humanities, returns to inspire the useful idiots to continue their demonstrations. About seven hours into a demonstration at the encampment formed on the Main Quadrangle or “Quad” of the University of Chicago Monday, Bombin’ Bill showed up for the kids.
He is about the last person the wanna-be members of Hamas need for inspiration. It is because of professors like him that college kids with brains full of mush arrive at college and are indoctrinated with Marxist propaganda. Fever dreams of anarchy and the overthrow of America are alive and well.
Let’s not forget that Ayers and Barack Obama had a connection in Chicago. Michelle Obama worked as a member of leadership at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Ayers hosted the first fundraising event at his home when Obama ran for office in 1995. Obama downplayed his friendship with Ayers when he ran for president, for obvious reasons. We haven’t heard from Obama about the campus chaos that has spread across the country, have we? Funny. He usually doesn’t hesitate to weigh in on controversial issues.
The retired professor’s relationship with former President Barack Obama became a controversial element of Obama’s 2008 campaign after reports circulated that the then-candidate was a guest at Ayers’ home in 1995. The former president and Ayers also had overlapping service on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago between 1999 and 2002, though allegations of a close relationship between the two were disputed by Obama as well as several media outlets.
The Democrat convention will be held in Chicago this summer. There is the likelihood that it will turn into violent chaos like the 1968 Democrat convention in Chicago. Does anyone think the far-left mayor, Brandon Johnson, is ready to handle hosting the convention? Chicago is chaotic enough on a regular day, it is hard to imagine the city hosting the convention as pro-Hamas protesters follow Biden and other Democrats to disrupt events on the campaign trail.
The revolution is being televised. What is old is new again. Bill Ayers is helping to usher it all back in again. This is Biden’s America.
