Notes 431(^36) Kathy Boudin was born in 1943 to a Jewish family with a long left-wing history, and was raised in
Greenwich Village, New York City. Her great-uncle was Louis Boudonovitch Boudin, a Marxist theorist. She
was the niece of I.F. Stone, the leftist Washington reporter and critic of Plato. Her father, attorney Leonard
Boudin, had represented such controversial clients as Fidel Castro, Paul Robeson, and Daniel Ellsberg of the
RAND Corporation. Leonard Boudin was an active member of the National Lawyers Guild. Kathy’s older
brother, Michael Boudin, joined the establishment law firm of Covington and Burling, where Dean Acheson
and William P. Bundy had been partners. Michael Boudin is currently the Chief Judge of the United States
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston. Kathy Boudin was convicted of one count of felony murder
and armed robbery, and was sentenced to twenty years to life under a plea bargain for her role in the 1981
Brinks Robbery near New York City in which the Weathermen killed two policemen and an armed guard.
Boudin was released in September 2003 amid the protests of the families of her victims. (Wikipedia)

(^38) Abby Rockefeller, the sister of David, Nelson, John D. III, Laurance, and Winthrop, reportedly joined SDS
for a time in the early 1960s. (Carter and the PIT, 25) In the winter of 2007, there were isolated signs of an
ongoing salon frequented by SDS nostalgics and members of the extended Rockefeller family in Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
(^39) After the Days of Rage, federal indictments were handed down against most of the publicly identified
Weathermen. As a result, the project moved into an “underground” phase characterized by heavy drug use,
institutionalization of polymorphous perversion (“sexual liberation”), and intensive use of attack group
methods of self-brainwashing (Maoist “criticism and self-criticism”), all staged in the “programmed paranoia”
of a police round-up threatened at any minute. The Spring 1970 escalation of the war in Cambodia provided
the pretext for Weatherman controllers to escalate the group’s activities to terrorist bombings: the University
of Washington ROTC building, the New York police headquarters, the Washington DC capitol building, etc.
(Carter and the PIT, 121) These are the people that Obama finds congenial.

Some internet sources attempt to attack the reliability of Bob Black, but he is taken seriously by Sherrie
Gosset, the associate editor of the neocon site Accuracy in Media, who reports: ‘American anarchist Bob
Black also skewered Churchill’s credibility in a detailed essay, “Up Sand Creek Without a Paddle.” He assails
Churchill’s “bigoted and bogus” ‘scholarship’, and asks how this “hustler” has been able to pass off his
“racist fantasies as scholarship” and gain tenure at UC. He has no PhD and reportedly can’t get published in
even the most mediocre academic journals, so he sticks with leftist or racialist nationalist periodicals.
Churchill “gets flown all over the country to address audiences of white leftists who pay him to guilt-trip
them. How sweet the pain!” writes Black. Professor Brown explains that “In Indian activist circles, prestige
and legitimacy often accrue to those who most successfully express an oppositional identity.” Which reminds
us, the University of Colorado media relations people did not return our phone call yet asking whether it’s
true the university investigated Churchill’s Indian identity claims ten years ago. He’s a “New Left/New Age
ersatz Indian,” who might have a dream catcher hanging over his bed, but is just a “well-funded pale face”
who is a “Red racist” but not a “red man” Black says. Indeed, this ‘injun of profit’ has parlayed his “Indian-
ness” into a gig raking in close to $100,000 working for the same evil capitalist American government he
condemned 9/11 victims for supporting.’ (See Sherrie Gosset, “Churchill: Ward of the State,”
