IV. Apprenticeship with Foundation-Funded Terrorists: Ayers and Dohrn 143similar sums from the J.M. Kaplan Fund, the New World Foundation, and the Roger Baldwin
Foundation of the ACLU. [...]
The Fall 1969 “Days of Rage” in Chicago [was] a Weatherman riot financed through a “war
chest” bankrolled by Raskin, Waskow, et al.; also funded through an IPS front called
“American Playground,” through the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and through the IPS
media project, Liberation News Service. By this point, the Weatherman belief structure was
psychotically fascistic, as demonstrated in the Dec. 1969 ‘War Council’ speech by IPS
controller Bernardine Dohrn referring to the recent Manson family murders’ [cited elsewhere in
this book]. (Carter and the PIT, 121)
The USLP authors explicitly accused the Ford Foundation of helping to call forth violent radical
groups:
The entire Ford operation took on an upgraded character in 1966 with the appointment of
McGeorge Bundy as the president of the Ford Foundation. Bundy’s experience as the special
National Security Adviser to President Kennedy provided for an upgraded interface between the
Foundation’s activities and the overall global warfare policies of the Rockefeller family empire.
Ford virtually orchestrated - along with the subsumed Institute for Policy Studies field
operations - the creation of the black nationalist “radical” apartheid operation, the domestic race
war prospectus, the building up of a nationwide network of urban brainwashing centers and the
creation of a nationwide Gestapo in the form of the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration. By 1968, the Ford Foundation was openly funding domestic terrorism. The
Weatherman organization represents the most open case, although during the 1968 New York
City teachers’ strike, the Progressive Labor Party, the Socialist Workers Party and the
Communist Party USA, all by that point under Institute for Policy Studies control, were
bankrolled by Ford.” (Carter and the PIT, 19)
It has proven impossible to corroborate these charges using other sources, and the historical
record remains fragmentary and incomplete. The accuracy of some of these allegations cannot be
determined without access to the relevant government and foundation archives, which will hardly
be forthcoming in time to help vet Obama’s closest associates. If the charges made by the USLP
three decades ago are accurate, then the leading Weathermen, including Obama’s friends Ayers and
Dohrn, started working for the foundations more than forty years ago, and continue to receive grants
from many of these same foundations today.
THE WAR AGAINST MONOGAMY: AYERS GOES BISEXUAL
Ayers also figures as yet another homosexual or bisexual in Obama’s life, beyond Frank, Donald
Young, Larry Sinclair, and others. Ayers in Fugitive Days ‘also writes about the Weathermen’s
sexual experimentation as they tried to “smash monogamy.” The Weathermen were “an army of
lovers,” he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male
friend.”’^39 If Ayers became bisexual, he may still be bisexual, and this would place another bisexual
or homosexual partner in Obama’s immediate circle, in addition to Wright (accused of closet
homosexuality by Rev. James David Manning of Harlem), Larry Sinclair, and the late Donald
Young, the gay choirmaster of Wright’s church who was found murdered on Christmas morning
- When Dohrn was asked about the revolutionary orthodoxy of settling into marriage after
efforts to smash monogamy, Ms. Dohrn said, “You’re always trying to balance your understanding
of who you are and what you need, and your longing and imaginings of freedom.” Ayers chimed in
