432 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography
Committee, on 22 September, 1976, in which Congressman Larry McDonald (D-GA) is giving this rundown
of the TNI [Trans National Institute]: Robert “Bo” Burlingham, a prominent functionary of IPS’s Cambridge
[Massachusetts] subsidiary, was indicted in a bombing conspiracy in 1972, but charges were dropped when
his Weathermen co-defendants could not be apprehended. Burlingham said in 1974: “I don’t think an
equitable, fair, free democratic world order is going to happen any other way than through violence.”’ See
http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/2296. Burlingham may have hosted Obama’s friend
Bernardine Dohrn during her trip to Europe to meet the deserters’ movement, which was heavily penetrated
by the CIA, in 1968; see http://laroucheplanet.info/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Library.UnityNow3.
(^45) Ayers and Dohrn are also close to other Democratic Party bigwigs besides Obama. They are friends of
Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. As Larry Johnson reports,
‘...actor and activist Peter Coyote talking on the 1996 Democratic Convention in Chicago on his website
mentions a couple of times about having to inform his wife “Martha that I’m dragging her to the apartment of
old friends, ex-Weathermen, Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, hosting a party for Senator Leahy. Perhaps
Edward Said will be there. I urge her to come by promising that the event will push the edges of the envelope
of her centrist politics.”’ Edward Said was a member of the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation networks of
British intelligence, serviced by the late Italian left socialist Lelio Basso, Ken Coates, and the Yugoslav
dissident Vladimir Dedijier, with all of whom Said appeared at a conference in Linz, Austria, in September

(^47) According to U.S. Labor Party, Carter and the Party of International Terrorism (New York, 1976),
Bernardine Dohrn attended the University of Chicago Law School and graduated in 1965; here she worked
together with Dean Edward H. Levi, who later became Attorney General for Ford in March 1975. The USLP
writers regard Levi as a Rockefeller family operative who was involved with Marcus Raskin and the Black P.
Stone street gang of Chicago. From 1967-1970, Dohrn worked for the National Lawyers Guild, a group which
had been accused by J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI of being a communist front in the 1950s and may well have
been implicated in cold war intelligence activities. At the same time, Dohrn was then involved with the
American Deserters Committee, a group that was active in the US and Europe” (Carter and the PIT, 120)

(^58) In mid-August 2008, the University of Illinois attempted to prevent researchers from gaining access to the
archives of the Annenberg Chicago Challenge, which constituted some 70 linear feet of documents now
housed at the Richard J. Daley Library at the Chicago Circle Campus. This is also where the Weatherman
terrorist bomber Bill Ayers enjoys the fruits of his tenured professorship. After this high-handed outrage by a
public institution became known, President White of the University of Illinois was bombarded by emails of
protest demanding that the papers be made available. The University of Illinois announced as this book is
going to press that the papers would be opened to the public on August 26, 2008. We hope to include this
material in future editions of this book. The papers are likely to show that Ayers and Obama were no mere
