Campaign for Justice for Victims of Weather
Underground Terrorism Urges Probe of Bill Ayers and
Bernardine Dohrn
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pressure
is mounting for an expanded probe of Weather Underground
terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, and
their alleged roles in the 1970 bombing murder of a San
Francisco policeman. Larry Grathwohl, former FBI informant
in the Weather Underground and author of Bringing Down
America: An FBI Informer with the Weathermen, will
repeat his sworn testimony that points to the involvement
of the Weather Underground in the bombing murder of Sgt.
Brian V. McDonnell at a 12:30 p.m. News
Conference on Thursday, April 23, 2009, at the Marriott
Courtyard San Francisco Downtown, 299 Second Street, in the
Rincon Hill room. Grathwohl says that he was at a
meeting where Ayers said that his wife Dohrn had planted
the bomb.
The San Francisco Police Officers Association has publicly
supported the call for a renewed investigation, saying the
evidence points to Ayers and Dohrn as the
perpetrators.
The News Conference is being sponsored by the Campaign for
Justice for Victims of Weather Underground Terrorism, a
project of investigative journalist Cliff Kincaid's
America's Survival, Inc. "Forty years is
too long to wait for justice," Kincaid said. "Let's bring
the cop-killers to justice." Kincaid's web site www.usasurvival.org has exclusive reports
on the bombing and Communist Cuban support for the Weather
Underground.
The cold case of Sgt. Brian V. McDonnell, killed in 1970
when a bomb exploded at the San Francisco Park Police
Station, has been reopened by law enforcement authorities.
Grathwohl, Cliff Kincaid, and retired San Francisco Police
Sergeant Jim Pera, one of the first on the scene of the
bombing, will discuss the McDonnell case, the violent
history of the Weather Underground, and the reemergence of
its members in political and campus organizing activities.
Ayers/Dohrn "comrade" and Weather Underground member Mark
Rudd is on a speaking tour in the Bay Area.
Questions for a Communist Terrorist
By Cliff Kincaid | April 20, 2009
Thanks to Rupert Murdoch, Bill Ayers’ “comrade” and
Weather Underground terrorist Mark Rudd is on a book
tour, trying to cash in on his bloody record. Murdoch’s
Harper Collins published Rudd’s book, Underground: My
Life With SDS and the Weathermen. This week he is in
the San Francisco/Oakland, California area.
According to Rudd’s website, he has other speeches and
lectures scheduled
around the country.
Here are some suggested questions for Mark Rudd:
- Your fingerprints were found in a Weather
Underground bomb factory in San Francisco. What bombs
were constructed there and how many people did they
kill?
- Where was the bomb constructed that killed Police
Sgt. Brian McDonnell at the San Francisco Park Police
Station on February 16, 1970? (A report about the case
is available here).
- Have you ever volunteered to tell authorities what
you know about the bomb that killed Officer
McDonnell?
- Do you have any reason not to believe former FBI
informant Larry Grathwohl’s sworn testimony that Bill
Ayers told him that Bernardine Dohrn planted that
bomb?
- You admit approving the construction and placement
of a bomb designed to kill or hurt hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of servicemen and their wives and
girlfriends at Ft. Dix. Since you believed in “offing
the pigs,” did you sanction the bombing of the Park
Police Station in San Francisco as well?
- Why won’t you come clean and tell the truth about
your role in the Park Police Station bombing?
- Your comrades wrote the Prairie Fire
Manifesto dedicated to the assassin of Robert F.
Kennedy. Why did Ayers and Dohrn want RFK dead? Is it
because they (and you) were not anti-war but pro-war
and in favor of a communist victory in Vietnam and
around the world? Were you proud of 1-2 million dying
in neighboring Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge?
- The Weather Underground told Grathwohl that as many
as 25 million Americans would have to be killed if they
took over. Do you agree with that estimate?
- Your comrade Bernardine Dohrn praised mass murderer
Charles Manson. Do you know if she has ever sought
psychiatric help? Have you?
- Since it’s clear you don’t care about the lives of
police officers, why didn’t you stop the Ft. Dix bomb
plot and save the lives of your comrades who died when
the bomb accidentally went off?
- Have you ever expressed remorse to the parents of
your comrades Robbins, Oughton, and Gold?
- Have you ever expressed remorse to the victims of
Weather Underground terrorism and their families?
- How much of a cash advance were you paid by Rupert
Murdoch for your blood-soaked “memoir?” Shouldn’t you
give that money to the families of those you injured or
killed?
- On your trip to Cuba, how many Cuban intelligence
officials did you meet with? Besides Julian Torres
Rizo, what were their names? What kind of training in
terrorism did you receive?
- Are you proud of your sponsor Fidel Castro for
giving political asylum to convicted
cop-killer Joanne Chesimard?
On Tuesday and Wednesday in the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Area, Rudd will be reading from and
