Guns and Guerrillas
Law abiding U.S. citizens are looking up the barrel of a gun as their
rights are shattered in front of their eyes. Some of the most vocal
proponents for gun control are the radical home-grown terrorists still
enchanted with the gangrenous rot of guerrillas and genocidal murderers.
The war against guns is being waged on the battlefield of propaganda
and Hollywood. That’s why it’s critical, in the discussion on gun
control, to go back to “the sixties,” not to 2012 in Newtown.
Bill Ayers
Bill Ayers In his 2001 memoir
Fugitive Days, boasting
of his life as a Sixties radical, admitted his role in “bombings of New
York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971,
and the Pentagon in 1972.” He was a leader of the
Weather Underground (WU),
an offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which he
characterized as “an American Red Army,” whose ideology was: “Kill all
the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the
revolution home, Kill your
parents.”
The goal of the SDS was the collapse of the United States to create a
new communist society. For resistors who refused to embrace communism,
the comrades proposed that they be sent to reeducation camps and killed,
estimating 25 million people would be eliminated. In 1974 he
co-authored
Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism, which functioned as the Weather Underground’s ideological manifesto.
A few juicy quotes:
“We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men ...
deeply affected by the historic events of our time in the struggle
against U.S. imperialism.” ...“The only path to the final defeat of
imperialism and the building of socialism is revolutionary war.” ....”
This is the same Ayers who hosted a fundraiser to introduce Obama to
neighbors and political allies as Obama prepared to make his first run
for the Illinois state senate.
A member of the
Castro cult, the left’s favorite terrorist, Ayers bragged about SDS’s role in the Venceremos Brigades, a
project
initiated by Castro’s Intelligence Agency, to train American leftists
as “brigadistas” capable of waging guerilla warfare. Castro financed the
Fair Play for Cuba group which was supported by the hipster
left—draping itself in peace signs and the Cuban flag. The most infamous
member of Fair Play for Cuba was Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of
Kennedy.
A variation of “Let them eat cake,” Castro nodded: “Let them swim.” They are called the
balseros, the boat people who have left Cuba since his reign of power.
The Black Book of Communism
has estimated that there were 2,000,000 exiles from Cuba between 1959
to the 1990’s; 15,000-17,000 were shot before they made it to the boats
and there were also mass executions during this time. It is estimated
that there are 15,000-20,000 prisoners of conscience.
Castro established Granjas, labor camps, and CDR’s, Committees for
Defense of the Revolution. These were small neighborhood committees that
monitored surveillance of “counterrevolutionary” activities. On the
basis of suspicion only, people are interrogated and in many cases taken
away to detention centers. Castro suspended Cuba’s 1940 constitution
that had guarantees of fundamental rights and governed by decree until
1976, when he imposed a constitution modeled on that of the U.S.S.R.
In 1982 Castro officials were indicted for “conspiracy to import
marijuana and methaqualone from Colombia to the U.S. by way of Cuba. (
The Washington Post, Nov. 6, 1982) Why? According to U.S. officials it was a guise
for running guns to guerrillas in Latin America. (
The New York Times, Nov. 6, 1982 )
There are no juicy (public) quotes from Ayers on gun control but we
know he served on the board of the Joyce Foundation, an anti-gun
foundation. After
graduating from bomb making, his preferred methodology now is more dangerous—working through education and
teachers to teach children that they must give up some of their liberties for the sake of safety.
Bernardine Dohrn
Bernardine Dohrn is a law professor and influential in the American Bar Association. The wife of Bill Ayers, she is a co-author of
Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism. She was quoted in a
New York Times article on Charles Manson: “
Offing those rich pigs with their own forks and knives, and then eating a meal in the same room, far out!
The Weathermen dig Charles Manson.” For some, the excitement of
revolution and killing sure beats waiting for your dog return from her
manicure or watching the migratory patterns of saddleback turtles.
Dorhn belongs to the cult of
Che Guevera, a disciple of Lenin.
Guevera, back in fashion with the left now, explained in 1957: “My
ideological training means that I am one of those people who believe
that the solution to the world’s problems is to be found behind the Iron
Curtain.” In his will he praised the “Extremely useful hatred that turn
men into effective, violent, merciless, and cold killing machines.” (
The Black Book, 652)
Dohrn on gun control: “Almost none of us want automatic or
semi-automatic weapons in the hands of children or youth… We want gun
control that sanctions manufacturers, distributors and adults who place,
and profit from, deadly weapons in the possession of youth. We want
military-style weaponry banned. Let’s promote gun-control provisions and
regulations that enhance teaching and learning as well as justice and
safety for children, not those that will further incarcerate, punish and
demonize young people of
color.”
Louis Farrakhan
The volatile
Louis Farrakhan is on record for telling an
audience he wanted an armed black revolution in the U.S. He has visited
many countries that support
terrorism including Iran, Syria and the Sudan
which is responsible for slaughtering one million black Christians.
Recently he said that the “right to bear arms was given at a time when
there was no regulated militia to protect Americans…..but now you have
the police well armed….and there is no need for the American people to
be armed to the teeth.”
Tom Hayden
Tom Hayden, former president of SDS, organized the Chicago
convention riots and was elected a California State Representative. He
established the SED, Students for Economic Democracy and authored the
Port Huron Statement.
During the Vietnamese war he collaborated with North Vietnam and the
Kmer Rouge. After the U.S. left Vietnam, Pol Pot and his cronies from
1975-1979 were
responsible for the
loss of 1.7 million people (21% of the country’s population). The
Cambodian genocide was one of the worst human tragedies of the last
century. Some believe that Pol Pot tried to implement total
communism in one fell swoop, rather than a gradual transformation which
is a key tenet of Marist-Leninist orthodoxy. Class warfare was
eliminated by wiping out entire
classes
of property owners, intellectuals and businessmen. The antagonism
between urban and rural areas was solved by emptying the cities in one
week.
Yet, in 1978, Pol Pot bragged: “Our people of all social classes and
strata already know that it is the Communist Party of Kampuchea which is
the sole genuine leadership of the Kampuchean revolution. .... This
class consciousness was not due solely to the propaganda and educational
work of our Party, but was acquired in the course of struggle, through
class hatred and the unresolved class contradictions… Problems like
these led our peasants to find the solution in revolutionary violence.” (
Long Live the 17th Anniversary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea)
As Cambodia was burning,—during the genocide—New York Vietnam
Veterans Against the War made this statement at the Cambodia, Vietnam
Friendship Rallies “Three years ago, in April of 1975, the Vietnamese
and Cambodians won their independence and freedom after years of
fighting for it. People around the world celebrated these events
culminating years of
international
solidarity and the massive anti-war movement that aided the Indochinese
people. It was a sad month for the U.S. ruling class, and a great one
for the people of the world.” Hayden supported the
Vietnam Veterans against the war. He hadn’t read Pin Lathay’s, gripping account
Stay Alive My Son,
where he described how he wandered alone and starving through the
jungle of Cambodia for a month “to bring news of the genocide in
Cambodia, to describe what we have been through, to tell how several
million men, women and children were all coldly programmed for death… (
The Black Book, 580)
When Hayden campaigned for office in LA he ran on gun control and
said ``You can’t be serious about turning L.A. around with crime, if
you’re not serious about gun control,’’ Here’s a portion of the filth
that Hayden wrote in his Port Huron Statement: “Disobey your parents:
burn your money: you know life is a dream and all of our institutions
are man-made illusions effective because YOU take the dream for reality.
... Break down the family, church, nation, city, economy; turn life
into an art form, a theatre of the soul and a theatre of the future; the
revolutionary is the only artist. ... “
Back in 1988 during a discussion of a gun-control bill Assemblyman
Tom Hayden (D-Santa Monica) complained about the “paranoia” of the
National Rifle Assn. To the NRA, Hayden said, even the most minimal
restriction is seen as a foot in the door for an all-out ban. It wasn’t
paranoia, when you could read in a
The Los Angeles Times editorial: “A comprehensive ban on
handgun purchases and ownership would prevent guns from falling into criminal hands.” (
The Los Angeles Times, June 28, 1988) On Hayden’s current web site “Progressing in 2013” he
mentions gun-control as a rank and file part of the progressive movement.
Jane Fonda
Jane Fonda an admitted socialist, co-founded the Indochina
Peace Campaign which worked tirelessly and contributed to the victory
for North Vietnam and Cambodia during the Vietnamese War. She admired
Ho Chi Minh, the
charismatic “Uncle Ho,” and in 1972 visited his Utopia in North Vietnam
during the war. After the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam in 1973- - over
1,000,000 men, women and children were killed. As these millions were
dying, Henry Winston, chairman of the CPUSA, visited Hanoi for the
celebration of the Communist victory over U.S. imperialism. Part of the
reason the North Vietnamese won the war was the clever manipulation of
propaganda abroad. The Party presented themselves as a peace-loving,
democratic organization. Did the propaganda work? Fonda once said,
parroting Ho: “We think that this is an example of the fact that the
democratic, peace-loving, patriotic Vietnamese people want to embrace
all Vietnamese people in forgiveness, open their arms to all people who
are willing to fight against the foreign intruder…”
What Jane didn’t know when she visited, since the records were only
recently released from the Soviet archives, was that “Uncle Ho” had a
past as a cadre of the Communist International where he worked under the
name of Nguyen Ai Quoc. In 1971 she was the chief financier of VVAW’s
Winter Soldier Investigation (WSI), which was a continuation of the
anti-U.S. war crimes propaganda campaign which had begun in Europe with
KGB-sponsored events that were organized before the first American
ground troops ever arrived in Vietnam.
While in Vietnam, she volunteered to do radio broadcasts from Hanoi,
quoting Ho Chi Minh in some of them. These addresses were aired by the
North Vietnamese Communists, for whom propaganda was a key tool of
psychological warfare.
Jeremiah Denton was a Navy pilot shot down over Vietnam in 1965. He
was captured and spent over seven years in prison camps. Tortured, he
was forced to go before communist propaganda TV programs and say how
well they were treated. But when these broadcasts were shown in the
U.S., the military noticed that while he was speaking his eyes squinted
and blinked to spell out T-O-R-T-U-R-E in Morse Code. This incident
would have occurred while Fonda was visiting Vietnam. Yet, in one of her
broadcasts she commented: “The POW’s appear to be healthy and fit….”
and returned to her pad in Hollywood.
Adamantly pro gun control, she was asked once why she had a gun and replied, “Gun control? That’s for other people, not for us.”
Maybe these contrasts are what Hayden described as turning life into
an art form, a theatre of the soul and a theatre of the future. Or is it
play-acting in fictionalized plots from Hollywood, always ignoring the
body counts in the theater of the absurd.
What these terrorists and the radicals who admire them have in common
is their brutality and contempt for human life. Funny, most of the
left’s victims—-100,000,000 million according to
The Black Book—-died from the barrel of a gun.
