J'accuse!

By Findalis


On February 16, 1970 a pipe bomb filled with shrapnel exploded on the ledge of a window at the San Francisco Police Department's Golden Gate Park station. Brian V. McDonnell, a police sergeant, was fatally wounded in its blast; Robert Fogarty, another police officer, was severely wounded in his face and legs and was partially blinded.

No one was ever charged with this crime but it is considered to be the work of the Weather Underground. You know that group that Bill ”I didn't bomb enough” Ayers used to be in charge of. And you do know who Aryers is. Former terrorist (who never repented and was proud of his work), Professor in the College of Education at the professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Fugitive from the law, Radical liberal, and oh yes, a good friend of President Barack Obama. That Bill Ayers.

But that is to change. Although the Feds couldn't get charges to stick to him, or his wife Bernardine Dohrn (funny how as a radical and communist they didn't mind using his daddy's money to get a good attorney to get them off on a technicality) they just might have something now.

A San Francisco police union has accused former domestic terrorist William Ayers, co-founder of the Weather Underground, and his wife in a 1970 bombing that killed one sergeant, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The union, in a letter to a conservative organization lobbying for arrests in the case, accused Ayers and wife Bernardine Dohrn of bombing a city police station.

On Feb. 16, 1970, a bomb placed on a window ledge of Park Station killed Sgt. Brian McDonnell and injured eight other officers, the Chronicle reported.

The union said it had not been in contact with investigators nor did it have new evidence, but it cited Larry Grathwohl, who works with the conservative organization America's Survival of Maryland and claims that he infiltrated Weather Underground as an FBI informant and heard Ayers confess, the Chronicle reported.

"There are irrefutable and compelling reasons to believe that Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn ... are largely responsible for the bombing of Park Police Station," the Feb. 24 letter reads, according to the Chronicle.

Read the full story here.

Tomorrow Larry Grathwohl will be holding a press conference to reveal his knowledge on the bombing which took the life of Police Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell. Here is ”Opening Statement”:

Remarks of Larry Grathwohl, at America’s Survival, Inc., “Justice for Victims of Terrorism” conference, March 12, 2009.

One of the issues in Washington, D.C. for President Barack Obama is what to do with the terrorists being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after he issued an executive order to close the detention facility. The question we want answered is why terrorists close to him politically have escaped justice for the 1970 bombing of the Park Police Station in San Francisco. We believe the Department of Justice should make available all the evidence in this case to local authorities and law enforcement officials.

I was in the Weather Underground as an informant/infiltrator for the FBI. I have testified, spoken, and written about the involvement of Weather Underground terrorist leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in that bombing. That bombing on February 16, 1970, took the life of Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell. There is no statute of limitations on murder.

But first, let me back up.

I remember the Sunday morning in January of 1970 when it was obvious to me that the three FBI agents were upset. They wanted to know when the bombings of the Detroit Police Officers Building and the 13th precinct would take place and which members of the Weather Underground would be assigned to do it. Bill Ayers had debriefed me regarding every aspect of the plans we had developed before telling me I was being reassigned to Madison. Bill’s two major requirements were that the bombs go off at the same time and that the greatest number of police officers would be killed or injured. Both bombs were to contain fence staples or roofing nails to ensure this effect. Bill Ayers didn’t care if innocent people were also killed or injured. Bill had even gone so far as to tell us that the bomb at the 13th precinct should be placed on a window ledge. Both bombs were set four days later than originally planned but both also failed to detonate due to failures in the timing devices.

I wouldn’t see Bill Ayers again until February of 1970 in Buffalo when I returned from a day of obtaining death certificates for use in creating phony ID’s for fellow members of my new cell of Weatherman terrorists. As soon as we had all assembled, Bill began a criticism session of myself and my associates for having spent too much time preparing for actions (bombings) and not doing anything. He reminded us of the commitment all of us had made to the overthrow of the U.S. government at the National Council Meeting in Flint the previous December and how our inactivity was harming the Cubans, the Vietnamese and the Chinese. Bill went on to describe how Bernardine Dorhn, a Weather Underground central committee member and considered the leader of the Weather Underground, had to plan and commit the bombing of the Park Station in San Francisco. This bomb contained fence staples and was placed on a window ledge during a shift change ensuring the presence of the greatest number of police officers and the greatest possibility of death and injury. Several Police Officers were injured and one, Sergeant McDonnell, was killed by fence staples used in the bomb. He was in the hospital for two days before he succumbed to his injuries.

At the National Council Meeting which took place in Flint, Michigan, in late December of 1969, Bernardine Dorhn had praised mass murderer Charles Manson and said, “The Weatherman is about a communist revolution to destroy the white racist’s society and establish a democratic centralist’s government”. Furthermore, Bernadine wanted everyone at the council meeting to, “bring the war home and off (kill) their parents”.

There is no Statute of Limitations on Murder by either the Federal Authorities or the State of California. And the evidence presented in this new indictment will not carry the stain from the failed case the government had at the time.

J'accuse you Professor Ayes and your wife Bernardine Dohrn of the woeful taking of a life. No cause you could give would justify that crime. You tried to destroy the United States, hand it over to the governments of Cuba, North Vietnam, Communist China and the Soviet Union. You wished to murder 25 million Americans who didn't believe what you did. All you did was to kill one police officer and wound another.

Larry Grathwohl on Ayers' plan for American re-education camps and the need to kill millions

View at YouTube

Both the State of California and the Federal Government impose the Death Penalty for the murder of an officer of the law. You both have the means to hire the best attorneys in the nation. You are going to need them. For this time, I pray that you get the maximum sentence under the law.

And if your good friend and neighbor Barack Obama grants you clemency or even worse, a pardon. He will have cut his throat politically.

You have had your fun, Professor Ayers. Now it is time to pay the price for that fun.

Durban II: More U.N. Efforts to Squelch Free Speech?

by Barbara Sowell

On Dec. 18, 2008 the U.N General Assembly passed a non binding resolution that condemned "defamation of religion." Western critics have said that this resolution will be used to limit freedom of speech.

Last month the Obama administration said that the United States will boycott Durban II, the upcoming U.N. conference of racism, “unless its final document is changed to drop all references to Israel and the defamation of religion.”

A growing number of nations fear that Durban II may be the launch pad for an all out final assault on freedom of speech. A binding anti-blasphemy resolution on member UN nations would make it a crime to criticize Islam.

Canada, United States, Italy, other European states, and Israel are now boycotting the United Nations racism summit, the Durban Review Conference, or what is dubbed “Durban II,” which is due to take place in Geneva from April 20-24.

In Nov 2008, Islamic countries won United Nations backing for an anti-blasphemy measure. According to a Nov 2008 CanWest article, this resolution, and similar resolutions, are being accumulated for a more sinister goal – to provide international cover for domestic anti-blasphemy laws. The goal of the Organization of Islamic Conference is to create a binding resolution on member nations to severely limit free speech. This goal might be accomplished at the Durbin II conference.

Passage of the resolution is part of a 10-year action plan the 57-state Organization of Islamic Conference launched in 2005 to ensure “renaissance” of the “Muslim Ummah” or community.

While the current resolution is non-binding, Pakistan’s Ambassador Masood Khan reminded the UN’s Human Rights Council this year that the OIC ultimately seeks a “new instrument or convention” on the issue. Such a measure would impose its terms on signatory states.

The resolution passed in Nov 2008 links religious defamation to incitement to violence, which would severely limit a broad range of peaceful speech and expression.
The CanWest article continues:

But Western democracies argue that a religion can’t enjoy protection from criticism because that would require a judicial ruling that its teachings are the “truth.”

 
“Defamation carries a particular legal meaning and application in domestic systems that makes the term wholly unsuitable in the context of religions,” says the U.S. government in a response on the issue to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

 
“A defamatory statement . . . is more than just an offensive one. It is also a statement that is false.”

The article goes on to explain the legal difficulty of even defining the term “defamation,” and that belief cannot be equated with a legal definition of truth. Additionally, most Western countries do not grant rights to ideas. There is a distinction between “granting an “idea” rights - and defending the right of people not to be discriminated against.”

Canada says governments have abused laws against defamation or contempt of religions to “prosecute and imprison journalists, bloggers, academics students and peaceful political dissidents.”

There’s also consensus among opponents of the UN measure that people most likely to be targeted by anti-blasphemy laws are Muslims in Muslim countries.

According to Nat Hentoff's op-ed column in Feb 2, 2009 in the Washington Times only Islam and Muslims are covered by the current anti-defamation resolution.

Only Islam and Muslims are specifically named in this resolution against religious defamation, sponsored by Uganda on behalf of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference, and cosponsored by Belarus and Venezuela. Opponents included the United States, a majority of European countries, Japan and India. . .

The article quotes Floyd Abrams, “the nation's leading protector of the First Amendment,” as stating "that laws based on the concept of 'defamation of religion' actually help to create a climate of violence."

"Violators of these laws, as applied in most Muslim countries, are subject to the death penalty," Abrams continued. He cited from the study a 22-year-old Hindu in Pakistan who "was beaten to death by co-workers at a factory for allegedly committing the crime of blasphemy, which is a crime punishable by death in the country." The three workers were "charged not with murder but with 'failure to inform the police that blasphemy was under way.' " . . .

Another of America's leading First Amendment lawyers, Marc Stern, co-executive director of the American Jewish Congress, makes a crucial point: If this approach to "defamation of religion" were to become a crime under international law (under the impetus of the U.N. resolution), "nations would be able to seek extradition and trial abroad of persons who make statements critical or offensive to one or all faiths anywhere in the world."

According to the Jewish Tribune, the International March of the Living praised the United States for announcing that it would not attend the conference. The organization is urging a boycott of the Durbin II conference in Geneva.

“This is a compelling moral position by the US leadership, displaying that hatred and intolerance have no place in international discourse,” said Dr. Shmuel Rosenman, chairman of the International March of the Living. . .”

As reported by (AFP) yesterday, Australia is threatening to boycott Durban II, because it threatens to turn into an anti-Jewish anti-Semitic rant. According to Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, Australia is leery of joining Durban II for fear it will be a repeat of the inaugural UN racism summit, held in the South African city of Durban in September 2001.
"

People should please understand this: if we come to the conclusion that the text being prepared for the Durban review number two conference sets us up for a re-run of an anti-Jewish anti-Semitic harangue, as the first conference was, then Australia will not take part," Smith told reporters.

Haaretz.com reports that Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel says that the upcoming Durban II conference on racism will hurt the United Nations.

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel on Thursday said the passing of resolutions attacking Israel at the upcoming "Durban II" conference on racism would only harm the summit's host, the United Nations.

"The anti-Israeli resolutions to be expected at Durban II will harm the UN, not Israel," Weisel told Haaretz. He was referring to reports that draft resolutions for the summit brand Israel as an occupying state that carries out racist policies.

According to Eye on The UN, this is what the Durbin II platform represents:

• Undermining the West and democracy
• Promoting anti-semitism
• Demonizing Israel as racist
• Foiling efforts to combat radical Islamic terrorism
• Manufacturing Islamophobia everywhere
• Fomenting religious extremism
• Curbing free expression

Durban II documents and articles can be found at Eye on the UN

A Lou Dobbs interview with Christopher Hitchens discusses the U.N. anti-blasphemy resolution. If it were binding on member UN nations, it would call on governments to pass their own laws to make it a crime to criticize Islam.

Petition Against Employee Free Choice Act

Urgent PSA from Wake Up America Movement

The next step in the "Change" Administration's attempt to strangle our rights and our economy is an issue we cannot afford to lose. If you have participated in prior W.A.M. ACTIONS - or ever considered doing so, this is the most critical moment and most important Obama move to oppose!

The mislabeled "Employee Free Choice Act" has been slammed into Congress - before the ink is even dry on the insane OMNIBUS Spending Spree. More aptly called "Card Check" - this measure allows an International Union, backed by Obama "community organizers" to infiltrate American businesses - large and small - using the same aggressive intimidation tactics by which they have brought down the banking and lending industries.

Smartly marketed and deceptively portrayed by the well-funded Service Employees International Union, this employment Act is tied directly to Obama's take-over of Health Care (with higher not lower costs for US all.) Their ambitions, unfortunately, don't stop there. SEIU bemoans the fact that less than 6% of American businesses are "unionized."

Their agenda - via "Card Check" - is to pervade all levels and forms of U.S. industry with their own "international" standards and extreme government controls. imagine the impact of this Card Check Law on our already faltering economy!!!

   Congressional hearings on Card Check, now in

Your ACTION against CARD CHECK is urgently needed NOW. Click here to  MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD in WASHINGTON on this D.C. led Socialist take-over!

Moral Standing: the Complaint

In Hints of Compulsory U.N. Censorship, I propounded a rhetorical question concerning the moral qualifications of Islam & the U.N. to persuade the U.S.A. to accede to demands for censorship. This post begins the process of answering that question. Lets begin with an examination of Ambassador Masood Khan's statement of 04/01/08.

Without explicitly naming Geert Wilders or his video, Ambassador Khan expresses the O.I.C.'s appreciation to the Dutch government for its unsuccessful attempt to prevent its publication and the Prime Minister's rejection of "the interpretation given to the Quran in the documentary and equation of Islam with violence".

He expresses their agreement with "Mr. Jorge Sampaio, Secretary-General's High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations", providing this outline of his statement.

1. the insulting and defamatory film is a deliberate incitement to discrimination, violence and hatred on grounds of religion, aimed at provoking and promoting social unrest, and encourages extremist groups within European societies to discriminate and marginalize Muslims immigrants;
2. freedom of expression does not preclude the protection of people from racist, discriminatory and xenophobic language; and
3. We will be losers if we fail to defuse this potential crises.

Ambassador Khan follows up with his own list of accusations against Fitna.

The documentary violates letter and spirit of

1. The UN Charter;
2. The covenants on civil and political and economic, social and cultural rights;
3. Articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that proscribe any advocacy of racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence; and
4. Security Council resolution 1624 of 2005 which calls upon states to prevent targeting of different religions and cultures;

First and foremost, is Fitna. [First Ed. 03/27/08] factually false? If not, then it can not be defamatory. Is it a rude statement intended to offend? This is a good time to click the link and view the 17 minute video, which begins with display & recitation of 8:60.

• Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of God and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom God doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of God, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.[Abdullah Yusuf Ali]

That verse is followed by the awful image of aircraft striking the World Trade Towers, flames, smoke & falling bodies. Did not Allah say "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve"? Did not Allah say "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."? Did not Allah issue a commandment ordering Muslims to attack "people of the book" saying "fight those who... until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" ? How then is the association of Allah's commandment with the act of the "magnificent nineteen" a calumny?

Wilders follows up with images of Imams calling for Jihad and rail cars torn apart by bomb blasts. We see bloodied victims as well. Next, he shows us 4:56.

Surely! Those who disbelieved in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allâh is Ever Most Powerful, All­Wise.

Other than illustrating Islam's hatred of disbelievers, I see no reason for including that verse, it deals with the next world, not this one. That image is followed immediately by an Imam quoting a genocidal hadith.

Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

We see the Imam drawing his sword, waving it in the air, shouting takbir & "Jihad for the sake of Allah",. then we see the crowd reaction: pure anticipatory hatred.

That blood chilling scene is followed by an interview with a little girl who informs us that Jews are "apes and pigs"; she learned it from the Koran [2:65, 5:60, 7:166]. Succeeding scenes of bodies being dragged and a buss torn asunder by a bomb are followed by an Imam ranting that the Jews must be massacred. Next, we see placards carried by Muslims demonstrating their hatred, with such messages as "be prepared for the real holocaust" and "God bless Hitler".

Next, 47:4 is displayed.

So, when you meet (in fight Jihâd in Allâh's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allâh's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost,

The token of genocide {till when you have killed and wounded many of them} is confirmed by Ibn Kathir in his tafsir. The Command to strike the Enemies' Necks, tighten Their Bonds, and then free Them either by an Act of Grace or for a Ransom

Guiding the believers to what they should employ in their fights against the idolators, Allah says, (So, when you meet those who disbelieve (in battle), smite their necks) which means, `when you fight against them, cut them down totally with your swords.' (until you have fully defeated them,) meaning, `you have killed and utterly destroyed them.'

That recitation is followed by images of the murder of Theo Van Gogh. Next, we hear a Saudi cleric saying that throats must be slit and young men sacrificed. So of course, there is the obligatory decapitation scene. Have we so soon forgotten Nick Berg & Danny Pearl?

The bloody image is followed by 4:89, wherein Allah commands not to befriend Kuffar & hypocrites and to kill the latter.

They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allâh (to Muhammad ). But if they turn back (from Islâm), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them.

We next discover a sidewalk interview in which the death penalty for apostasy is mentioned. Supremacism is openly expressed, followed by a series of news headlines. 8:39 follows.

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.

Next we hear a cleric saying that "Islam is a religion that wants to rule the world.". He is followed by confirmation from the President of Iran. Other expressions of supremacism & triumphalism follow.

The video continues with Dutch demographics & politics, with more images including lapidation & hangings. What part of Fitna is not true? The Qur'an quotes are easily verified and confirmed by the most widely accepted exegeses. I have shown you one tafsir, you can search for the others at http://www.qtafsir.com.

The hadith quoted is also easily verifiable. We have seen most of the images in magazines and on the internet. The ranting & raving Imams are available in Memri's archives.

Jorge Sampaio's assertion of "deliberate incitement to discrimination, violence and hatred" is egregious hypocrisy. Wilders reports part of what Allah said and his obedient slaves do in obeying his word. Wilders did not incite his viewers to discrimination, violence or hatred against anyone. Fitna did not incite Kuffar to engage in anti-Muslim pogroms; nor was it intended to.

The second slur is extremely telling: "racist, discriminatory and xenophobic language" accurately describes what the Imams were saying about massacring the Jews, it does not accurately describe the video at which it was directed. Islam is not a race; it began by victimizing Arabs, but it expanded to victimize Jews, Africans and Asians. Most Muslims are descended from Asians who were give a choice: convert or die.

The hypocrisy of Ambassador Khan's accusations is exposed through dissection of other outrageous statements he made to the UNHRC September 21,'06. [See the list of links in my previous post.] Allah commanded his slaves to make war upon the entire non-Muslim world: 8:39 commands fighting pagans until resistance ceases and only Allah is worshiped. 9:29 commands making war upon people with scriptural religions until they are subjugated and submit to extortion. Those two links are to Ibn Kathir's Tafsir, which displays the ayeh along with confirming hadith. Abu Dawud Book 14.2526 prophesies that Jihad will continue to Judgment Day. Abu Dawud 23.3455 curses Muslims if they take up farming instead of Jihad, which it calls their "original religion".

In consideration of insult & defamation, I leave you with a list of relevant ayat from Allah's book. After reading these, you will understand why Islam has no moral standing on which to make its outrageous demand.
