David Horowitz In those heady times, Linda was one of the leaders of a vanguard organization known as Weatherman and had come to the university with fellow militant Ted Gold to recruit others to the cause. She was part of the Weatherman team constructing the anti-personnel bomb whose explosion in the New York townhouse killed three of the guilty and prevented the loss of innocent lives. As in the days of Weatherman, the support network for their unholy war is recruited from college campuses and supported by journalists themselves captivated by the "progressive" worldview. www.jewishworldreview.com /cols/horowitz090601.asp   (623 words)

Encyclopedia: Weathermen Weatherman, also known as the Weather Underground Organization and, colloquially, sometimes 'the Weathermen', were a U.S. radical leftist organization consisting of splintered-off members and leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Its members referred to themselves as a "revolutionary organization of communist women and men," and carried out guerilla actions, often characterized as terrorist, to achieve the revolutionary overthrow of the government of the United States. The Weathermen obviously thought they had the moral upper hand in their ventures, for after all, they were terrorizing Americans for a good cause (or so they reasoned). www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Weathermen   (550 words)

Weatherman (organization) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weatherman, also known as the Weather Underground Organization, and colloquially as the Weathermen, 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. Weatherman collapsed shortly after the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975, which saw the general demise of the New Left, of which Weatherman had been a part. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Weather_Underground   (3396 words)

Weathermen - dKosopedia The Weathermen, also known as the Weather Underground Organization, was a US-based, self-described "revolutionary organization of communist men and women" formed by members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), splintering that organization in the process. The name 'Weathermen' is taken from the Bob Dylan song "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which advises that 'you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows'. The Weathermen were motivated by a belief that they needed to "bring the war home", that Americans needed to experience for themselves the violence of the Vietnam War in order to force revolutionary change at home. www.dkosopedia.com /index.php/Weathermen   (656 words)

Weathermen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weatherman, also known as the Weather Underground Organization and, colloquially, sometimes 'the Weathermen', were a U.S. radical leftist organization consisting of splintered-off members and leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Its members referred to themselves as a "revolutionary organization of communist women and men," and carried out violent actions, often characterized as terrorist, to achieve the revolutionary overthrow of the government of the United States. The Weather Underground members, though, remained largely successful at avoiding the police and the FBI, until finally most turned themselves in at the end of the 1970s, once it was clear the revolution they had all been working towards had failed to materialize. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Weather_Underground   (2923 words)

Old American Red Groups As happens during the rapid growth of any organization, a split occurred in 1973 that led to the creation of the Revolutionary Socialist League (RSL). The name came from the founding members' policy statement of the WUO: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." This line from Bob Dylan's song Subterranean Homesick Blues pointed out their anger against the PLP, and they were named the "Weathermen" after this line. In 1977, the faction of the IS that supported Tony Cliff instigated a split to create a purely "Cliffite" group; this new group became the International Socialist Organization (ISO). reds.linefeed.org /past.html   (2923 words)

Next Left Notes - A News Magazine Devoted To Participatory Democracy and Direct Action The Revolutionary Communist Party USA, led by Bob Avakian (an SDS leader who was selected to be the national secretary but who was defeated by Weatherman activist Mark Rudd) is the only organization of that movement that has remained steadfast to its new communist-Maoist focus to this day. It is perhaps inevitable that the emergence of a new generation of anti-war activists has resulted in a renewed interest in the largest anti-war organization of the 1960's, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). But there is little question that the true emergence of SDS as a New Left movement of a new generation took place on April 17, 1965 by SDS President Paul Potter as part of a march on Washington. antiauthoritarian.net /NLN/archive/sds.html   (1578 words)

You Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Mark apparently doesn't realize that, or has too much self-loathing concerning his earlier actions to appreciate the changes that the organization went through when he was no longer part of it. Consequently, it leaves a lot of important successes that Mark was not part of, such as the writing, collective editing, publication and mass distribution in 1974 of Prairie Fire; that book presented a detailed political statement of the Weather Underground, laying out the organization's anti-imperialist perspective. Mark and others in the WU had at one time over-trumpeted their responsibility for our successes, as was the habit of the upper class Ivy Leaguers who played a major role in forming the leadership of the Weather faction of SDS. www.change-links.org /YouDon't.htm   (2022 words)

Notes From the Underground - A documentary about the Weathermen shows how far we've come since the '60s. By David Greenberg The Capitol bombers belonged to the militant left-wing organization known as the Weather Underground, who at the time enjoyed a certain mystique for their bravado and their willingness to test the limits of revolutionary ideology. A new documentary, The Weather Underground, directed by Sam Green and Bill Siegel, traces the life and death of the organization. (Weatherman became the "Weather Underground" when it retreated from public view.) The group staked out the most extreme-left position in a student movement that was hurtling leftward. slate.msn.com /id/2084009   (1461 words)

The Brinks Robbery of 1981 - The Crime Library - The Crime library Such a camp was the Weathermen, named after a line in a Bob Dylan song, "Subterranean Homesick Blues." The line went like this: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." But as time passed, several groups broke away from the organization to form their own ideological cells. But after the townhouse explosion in New York City in 1970, the group was forced to go "underground" and remove itself from the prying eyes of law enforcement and public scrutiny. www.crimelibrary.com /terrorists_spies/terrorists/brinks/2.html   (756 words)

Contrasts in Red: The Weather Underground and Matt Hale They took their name from the bizarre, convoluted Bob Dylan [Jewish birth name Zimmerman] song ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ which includes the line, “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” They described themselves as “the revolutionary organization of Communist men and women.” The Weathermen were the militant branch of the predominantly-Jewish SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), a Communist front which fomented chaos across the country using opposition to the Vietnam War to mobilize its followers. The spokeswoman for the Weathermen was the confident, relatively attractive, and articulate Bernardine Dohrn, a Jewess (her father changed the family name). www.nationalvanguard.org /story.php?id=2792   (1031 words)

The Daily Northwestern {10.31.2001} O'Shea said Dohrn and her husband, fellow Weatherman member Bill Ayers, were quoted in the story in an "unapologetic fashion," as they refused to repent their past actions. As a leader of the organization, Dohrn was once on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. Dohrn espoused during the '60s, at the end of the day, her career here at the Law School is an example of a person's ability to channel one's energy and passion into making a difference in our legal system," he said in a statement. dailynorthwestern.com /daily/issues/2001/10/31/campus/c-donation.shtml   (543 words)

Institute for Anarchist Studies - Anarchists in Wonderland: The Topsy-Turvy World of Post-Left Anarchy In the U.S. the SDS, the Progressive Labor Party, the Weatherman organization, the Socialist Workers Party, the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords and other major New Left groups would have rejected the critique of everyday life, if they had ever heard of it. Throughout this thoroughly muddled dispute, the most consistently reasonable theorist for the post-left tendency has been Jason McQuinn, founding editor of Anarchy Magazine. Painting with broad brush strokes the workers movement, the socialist movement, and the communist movement and yes the anarchist movement as if it were all one large monolithic structure unaffected by history. www.anarchist-studies.org /article/articleview/45/1/1   (1682 words)

Critique of the New Left That the New Left organization devolved into the control of three factions disputing the precise combination of Stalinist bureaucrats to worship has been liberally bemoaned by those who had proclaimed its essentially libertarian character; but they have never been capable of seeing the origins of this “degeneration” in the incoherence of the New Left. Weatherman first chose to return this spite by refusing to include anyone in their definition of the revolutionary motor. In marked contrast to fascism, this new form, at the same time that it strengthens and extends the capitalist system, is also that system’s natural development and rationalization. www.bopsecrets.org /PS/newleft.htm   (2394 words)
