FBI informant to Congress:
Investigate Ayers, Dohrn now

Warns that Weather Underground networks still could be operating
October 22, 2010
By Bob Unruh
A former undercover FBI informant who once spied on 1970s anti-war
radicals who bombed government offices is calling on Congress to set
up a committee or task force to bring "terrorists" including those
who may be in high and influential positions today to justice.
The request comes from Larry Grathwohl, whose book "Bringing Down
America An FBI Informer with the Weathermen" alleges Bill Ayers, a
friend of President Obama, told Grathwohl that Bernardine Dohrn, who
later became Ayers' wife, placed a pipe bomb outside a San Francisco
Police Department building Feb. 16, 1970.
The shrapnel from the anti-personnel bomb's explosion killed Sgt.
Brian V. McDonnell. Another officer, Robert Fogarty, was wounded in
the face and legs and left partially blind.
Grathwohl's plan was outlined in remarks prepared for the Marxism in
America conference sponsored yesterday by America's Survival in Washington.
Grathwohl also appears in a series of videos to explain his concerns
over the still-open case along with Cliff Kincaid, president of
America's Survival, and Max Noel, a former FBI agent and member of
the Weatherman Task Force.

"My greatest fear today is that the Department of Justice (under
Obama appointee Eric Holder) will protect these terrorists by
blocking an attempt to bring them to justice," Grathwohl said.
"Consider that President Obama held his first fundraiser at the home
of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn when he was running for the state
Senate in Illinois.
"Do you think there might be some resistance to placing these two
people on trial for the murder of Brian McDonnell? These are
President Obama's friends. He and Bill served on a board and appeared
at functions together."
Grathwohl said a resolution would be for Congress to act.
"I urge the new Congress to create a committee or subcommittee to
facilitate the efforts of law enforcement in bringing terrorists to
justice. For example, a new House Internal Security Committee can
assist in that regard. The Senate could consider reinstating a Senate
Internal Security subcommittee. Such committees should also
investigate the groups that represent a current danger to the
internal security of this country," he said.
"The Marxist terror threat has not gone away, as we have seen with
the recent FBI raids on U.S.-based Marxist groups suspected of
providing assistance to foreign terrorist groups in the Middle East
and Latin America. Some Marxists are now openly supporting what they
call 'revolutionary Islam.' Osama bin Laden is recommending
anti-American books written by U.S. 'progressives,'" he said.
WND previously reported on the links that appear to connect Ayers and
Dohrn to far more violence that they might be comfortable recognizing.
WND also has documented reports from the FBI that Dohrn built and
planted the bomb that killed a San Francisco police officer in 1970.
WND reported last year when top law enforcement officers in San
Francisco signed a letter accusing Ayers and Dohrn of being directly
behind the bombing, but the Obama Justice Department then told them
not to comment on the case.
At that 2009 press conference, directed by Kincaid, the leaders of
the San Francisco Police Officers' Association made public a letter
pointing a finger at Ayers and Dohrn that demanded those responsible
for the bombing be brought to justice.
"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 officers stated in the letter.
The San Francisco Chronicle then reported the police group members
who signed the letter received calls from the Justice Department and
a local police chief telling them to remain silent.
No one has been charged in the bombing. Ayers, a Weatherman founder,
has denied involvement. In an interview with the New Yorker, Ayers
said, "We killed no one and hurt no one."
Of the McDonnell bombing, Grathwohl has quoted Ayers saying, "It was
a success. But it's a shame when someone like Bernardine has to make
all the plans, make the bomb and then place it herself. She should
have to do only the planning."
In the conference remarks, Grathwohl said, "The charges have not yet
been brought in this 'cold case' but I can tell you that a law
enforcement entity called the Phoenix Task Force is working to solve
the murder of Sergeant McDonnell as well as other police officers who
died in the line of duty during that period of Weather Underground
violence and terrorism."
Grathwohl continued, "Justice can still be done. And that is why I am
here today. I have recently met with the lieutenant in charge of the
Phoenix Task Force. … He assures me that the effort remains focused
and the motivation is to gather the evidence and bring the killers to
justice. I should add that the murder of Sergeant John Young by the
Black Liberation Army when they attacked the Ingleside Police Station
in 1971 has been solved and successfully prosecuted."
He also suggested there reasonably could be a sense of urgency over
the investigations.
"Let me say that we cannot rule out the possibility that remnants of
the Weather Underground network still exist, protecting terrorists
and facilitating their activities. It is significant that the FBI
recently updated its 'Most Wanted' listing for Leo Frederick Burt,
accused of bombing the University of Wisconsin, on August 24, 1970,
killing a 33-year-old researcher and causing $6 million in damage to
the building. He is still on the run. Burt was not a member of the
Weather Underground but a spin-off group," he said.
The conference also addressed the work of Paul Kengor, whose new book
"Dupes" shows how "progressives" have been manipulated by
international communist concerns.
Kincaid also addressed what the Frank Marshall Davis archives at
Washington University in St. Louis reveal about the communist
connections and associations of Obama's childhood mentor.
