  Weatherman (organization) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weatherman, known colloquially as the Weathermen and later the Weather Underground Organization, was a U.S. Radical Left organization consisting of splintered-off members and leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society.
The group referred to itself as a "revolutionary organization of communist women and men." Their stated purpose was to carry out a series of militant actions to achieve the revolutionary overthrow of the Government of the United States (and of capitalism as a whole).
Despite their marginalization, the Weather Underground pushed on, releasing a number of manifestos and declarations while carrying on a series of bombings, which from then on were both successful and free of human casualties.

 [Infoshop News] Thinking About the Weather (Underground)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Weather and the New Left's championing of issues of race and gender was a welcome and necessary departure from the Eurocentrism of earlier Leftist theory.
Weather's (and the New Left's) fascination with the struggles of the Third World was understandable given the romantic vision of the movement and the considerable number of revolutionary struggles occurring in those countries at the time.
Weather organized youth as a fifth column operating behind enemy lines in support of Third World revolutions and RYM II organized them as future members of the working class.

 SDS/WUO by David Gilbert
SDS was the organization at the hearts of the radical movement among predominantly white college students.
Weather's militarism culminated in 3/6/70 when a frantic bomb-making effort, including anti-personnel weapons, resulted in an accidental explosion in a safehouse (known as the Townhouse explosion) that killed three of our own beautiful, young comrades.
The WUO was born in the era of the breathtaking rise of national liberation, in opposition to the U.S. foundation of white supremacy and on the heels of exciting movement victories met by fierce government repression.

 Weather Underground--Main Page
The Weather Underground is a feature-length documentary that explores the rise and fall of this radical movement, as former members speak candidly about the idealistic passion that drove them to "bring the war home" and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI's most wanted list.
Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s--bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world.
Ultimately, the group's carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history, yet the group's members would reemerge to life in a country that was dramatically different than the one they had hoped their efforts would inspire.

The Weather Underground was also responsible for breaking LSD guru Timothy Leary out of a California prison (for a fee), and arranging his transport to Algiers.
The drivers of the getaway vehicle were Kathy Boudin, a Weather Underground member who had been in the New York townhouse that exploded in 1970, and her soon-to-be husband, David Gilbert.
Weather Underground member Susan Rosenberg, implicated in the Nyack robbery, and Linda Evans, at different times wanted on a number of criminal charges, were apprehended carrying 740 pounds of explosives in 1985.

 cars - Weather forecasting
Weather forecasting is the science of making predictions about general and specific weather phenomena for a given area based on observations of such weather related factors as atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, precipitation, cloud cover, temperature, humidity, frontal movements, etc.
Weather forecasting involves processing a lot of data, but interpretation can be difficult because of the chaotic nature of the factors that affect the weather.
Since lives and livelihoods depend on accurate weather forecasting, these improvements have helped not only the understanding of weather, but how it affects living and nonliving things on Earth.

 Fugitive Days
I was an organizer for the Students for a Democratic Society, and then a member of the Weather Underground Organization, which carried out a series of small, symbolic bombings of government and corporate buildings in the 1970s to protest U.S. policy of attacks on fl activists in this country and aggression in Vietnam.
Many Weather supporters, however, managed to listen to their own inner feelings and finally reject the spiral of self-destructive behavior that seemed to be accompanying this direction.
The process by which Weather leaders changed from the language of the famous Manson speech glorifying violence in January 1970 to the moderation described in Ayers’s book in early March was invisible to almost all weather members.

 Volunteers of America: A Review of Dan Berger's Outlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of ...
The first history of the Weather Underground Organization(WUO) to be written by someone whose age parallels the ages of the children of WUO members and many other "sixties" activists (Berger is 24), this well-researched and detailed work provides a perspective on the most well-known group in the militant wing of the anti-racist and antiwar movement.
After all, many Weather members were still unsure of their legal status and, politically, the US Left was still reeling from the effects of the incredibly reactionary Reagan era--a period that saw many members of the militant US left imprisoned and its infrastructure destroyed.
Besides providing a different perspective on the WUO because of the difference in the historical situation, Berger's viewpoint is one that is not laden with the personality conflicts and ego battles that are part and parcel of every "Sixties" activist's recollection of the WUO.

 San Diego Independent Media Center on The Weather Underground
The impression most Americans who've heard of the Weather Underground at all have of them is a bunch of spoiled college kids turned terrorist loonies; but, as Green and Siegel explain through their film, this ignores the context of the 1960's.
The Weathermen -- later changed to "Weatherpeople" and still later to "Weather Underground Organization" on the argument that the original name was sexist -- called their first action for the streets in Chicago in October 1969 against the federal trial of eight organizers of anti-war demonstrations at the Democratic Convention in 1968.
Sam: They thought the Weather Underground was Custeristic, whereas Eldridge Cleaver and the New York Panthers were already picking up the gun and wrote a letter at one point saying you were the vanguard of the revolution.

When the WUO went underground, a group called the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC) operated in conjunction with WUO, but remained in the U.S. society.
Tensions between PFOC and WUO, as well as the inherent isolation associated with the “underground” status of WUO would eventually lead to the group’s self-implosion in 1977.

The important aspect of this section, however, is the way it toys with the connotations of its terms: its use of the term “international connections” and its veiled reference to some sort of WUO link to Algeria both tinge the organization with suspicions that the document fails to substantiate.
Indeed, the FBI’s reliance on WUO communiqués to reveal some manner of foreign influence seems foolish: proving a material link to a foreign power would certainly not be in the group’s interest.

Former Weather Underground Organization [WUO] members such as Gilbert (who also wrote, while imprisoned during the '90s, some articles for Toward Freedom) were more willing in the 21st century to talk about their past participation in Weather Underground activity than they had been earlier.
One reason Berger spent the last four years working on his Weather history book project is that he felt that some of the same historical and moral issues which the WUO confronted in the '60s and '70s--like white supremacy and imperialist war--are still around today.
Indeed, one Weather member estimated that as of March 1970, almost three-quarters of the people in the group were women, which testifies to the solid anti-imperialism many women activists felt and the commitment many women had to the organization despite misgivings over some of the politics.
