The Weather Underground were Bomb-wielding Radicals

In this episode of America's Untold Stories, Eric Hunley and Mark Groubert delve deep into the history of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing organization that emerged in the late 1960s. Join us as we explore the origins, motivations, and actions of this controversial group, and uncover the lasting impact they had on the public consciousness.

The Weather Underground, also known as the Weathermen, was born out of the turbulent political climate of the 1960s. Fueled by a desire for radical change, this group of young activists saw themselves as the vanguard of a revolution against what they perceived as an oppressive and unjust system.

At the core of their ideology was a strong commitment to communism, which they believed would bring about a more egalitarian society. Drawing inspiration from revolutionary movements around the world, the Weather Underground sought to incite a popular uprising against the U.S. government, which they viewed as imperialistic and corrupt.

Their tactics were often extreme and confrontational. Bombs were planted at government buildings, banks, and even police stations, causing significant property damage and, tragically, loss of life. These acts of violence were intended to serve as a wake-up call, a means to disrupt the status quo and provoke a revolution.

While the Weather Underground never achieved their ultimate goal of overthrowing the U.S. government, their actions left a profound mark on the public consciousness. The fear and uncertainty they instilled in the American people during their active years were significant. Their acts of violence shocked the nation and challenged the ideals of non-violence that had been prevalent in the civil rights and anti-war movements.

In the aftermath of their activities, the Weather Underground faced legal consequences. Many members went into hiding or were arrested, and the group eventually disbanded. However, the impact of their actions and their ties to communism continue to be subjects of debate and scrutiny.

I want to address criticism by some regarding my Fred Hampton comments and also my comparing him to the martyred George Floyd. I stand by my statements despite 50 years of revisionist history by Marxists attempting to martyr Fred Hampton a senior member of the bloody Black Panthers who were determined to "off the pigs". The article below is from the liberal NY Times reporting on a liberal special grand jury from liberal Chicago at the time of the shooting. I know there have been civil lawsuits and a million articles to the contrary. I stand by the original NY Times article. All power to the people. lol

2 Panther Deaths In Raid in Chicago Ruled ‘Justifiable’

By John Kifner Special to The New York Times

Jan. 22, 1970

The police have said that the two men died in a fierce gun battle lasting at least 10 min utes, touched off when people in the apartment opened fire on the police with shotguns.

Chemist's Testimony

The final witness was George Christopolis, a coroner's chem ist, who testified that two ex aminations of Mr. Hampton's blood had not disclosed any traces of barbiturates.

Mr. Hampton was shot three times and died of bullet wounds in the head and brain. The coroner's pathologist who examined him testified that two bullets had gone through Mr. Hampton's head from opposite sides and that the third bullet, the carbine slug, had entered his shoulder.

No Traces of Plaster

The testimony today opened with Douglas Childress, a cor oner's autopsy assistant, say ing that he had immediately washed the only bullet recov ered from Mr. Hampton's body and that he had not noticed any traces of plaster on the wound or the slug.

Eased up to 98, 000. 2000 to go...
Then a million wouldn't be unreasonable.
Thanks for your time and effort. You guys rock!

[janets]

You gentlemen NEVER cease to amaze me!! Your depth of knowledge of these events is incredible. 😊

[michaelpisani]

I always "hear" several nuggets of pure gold from Mark in every program. This one was the "pedigree" of the former San Francisco DA. Wow.

[jamescrabtree]

The new" DREAM TEAM " of Eric Hunley and Mark Groubert !! p.s. I am booked for the conference and the hotel. see you there.

[siulanainad]

The FALN connection included a Cuban asset Filiberto Ojeda whose nickname was The Cuban G-2 which references the Cuban secret Police. Brutally fantastic show 👍👍👍 thank you guys

[qmnwvds]

This is a MASTERPIECE. I’m at 1:38 (3/4 the way) and like a good book, a page-turner, cannot put it down. How can we get this shown at EVERY college freshman orientation? Seriously. Five star rating. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Mark, your passion is contagious. “It can be done!”

[thurin]

i wonder how quick this one was demonetized?

[johncoles]

Wow! Fun and exciting episode.
I was wrong to question Hunley’s contribution to the collaboration a bit back. Thank you both. My appreciation continues to grow.
Love the book fund!

[gergemall]

Great job Eric on production, SEO and TECHNICAL SKILLS ‘ Thank you so much gentlemen for another wonderful episode of AUS. You’re going to continue to grow exponentially.

[bpatts]

Great show… thanks for your research !!

[Linda-pwgx]

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this episode about the wether underground, I think one of the best !!! Thank you.

[mardyross]

Very exciting the way you're doing Dallas in Nov. Congratulations, and onwards to 100k.

[Kentuckyaccent]

Absolutely love you guys! So much information and history that’s not known by the general public….please keep it coming!❤

[lmarie]

I’m stunned at the similarities to today. Three points: 1) One person I’d love to have you go in-depth on is Bob Avakian. He is active today with Revcom & got his start back in Berkeley with the Weather Underground. 2) Daughter of Larry Grathwoll actively fought Antifa & did everything she could to expose them. 3) National Lawyers Guild (green hats) still funding, covering Antifa riots we’ve all saw in the Summer of Love! NLG part of the stop cop city, too

When I was in high school, late 1971, NJ, my history teacher, he was new to the school, I was new (3rd high school in 2 yrs, dad was in
sales), anyway, what did I know. He was totally disconnected, even for a history teacher, late 20’s, longish hair, berated us (as a class) for being “apathetic” (presumably we were supposed to be storming the principal’s office?)
But we just stared at him, apathetically I guess, bored out our minds. I skipped as many classes as I could. Turned in one HW assignment- huge poster of the Cambodian bombings - he loved it, told me he had been with the Weathermen.
No idea what the hell that meant. Told my mom who thought I was taking ‘something’
When I next went to class Mr Thompson (if that was his name, who knows) wanted my Cambodian poster (it had photos and drawings. No way. He offered to buy it. Considering he had no interest in teaching (or wherever it was he thought he was doing) I wasn’t going to let him touch anything I had worked on. Skipped the rest of that school year by just hanging out in the art rooms. You could do that in the 70’s.
No idea what happened to him but looking at the film here Mark I totally believe my (drugged up?) history teacher had been with the Weathermen at some point - my high school and area in NJ was very progressive (didn’t call it that then)
As always, great work, strange times Mark.

I highly recommend everyone listen to Mae Brussell's radio shows. She explains in depth the motives of many of these people; from being informants (how and why they become informants; what happens to informants - it generally ends badly), agent infiltration to catch-and-release. Mae's work remains timely and profound. Her research on JFK is nothing short of ground-breaking. Aloha.

I don't think people realize that this isn't a normal history class. It's a fun history class. They need to subscribe.

[rockhunter]

Very well presented guys, the more we can get the truth out about these Commies the better our revolution will prosper👍🏻
