"Prof" Manzanares is scary. He says Rudd, the thug, is legend. He wants students to organize like the Weathermen? The Weathermen praised serial killers and declared war on America, while taking credit for 25 bombings.

The above are quick reads of the REAL history of SDS and the Weathermen, not Rudd the thug's version. Rudd the thug is making money off pain and suffering, while glamorizing being a criminal. Where is Rudd the thug sending his book money and speaker fee money to support now?

"The Weathermen engaged in many acts of violence, including bombings at the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, Harvard University, and draft and recruiting stations. On October 20, l98l, a group of Weather Underground radicals with their colleagues from the Black Liberation Army attacked a Brinks armored car in Rockland County, New York. In the course of the shoot-out, one Brinks guard and two policemen were murdered. Among those arrested were Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, who fathered Kathy Boudin’s child — to be brought up by Ayers and Dohrn when the parents went to prison.

Ayers, during the presidential campaign, said that Weathermen activities did not kill anyone. This clearly was not the case. Ayers and Dohrn still appear to be the radicals they once were. Both, as college professors (he at the University of Illinois in Chicago, she at Northwestern University) are in a position to spread their ideas to a new generation. Cliff Kincaid notes that,“Ayers is free not only to brainwash college students but to travel to Marxist-controlled Venezuela, at least four times….

“Chesa Boudin, raised by Ayers and Dohrn, describes himself as ‘a foreign policy advisor to President Hugo Chavez in 2005.’ It was in Venezuela that Ayers openly talked about his role in academia, saying that education is the ‘motor-force’ for revolution. He was described by Venezuelan authorities… as a former leader of a ‘revolutionary and anti-imperialist group’ that ‘brought an armed struggle to the U.S.A. for more than 10 years from within the womb of the empire.’” http://www.academia.org/weather-underground-h...

Manzanares is dong a great disservice to the students at WNMU. From the documentary "The Weather Underground": "only person in the film to invoke Sept. 11, Flanagan compares himself and his former comrades to Islamist terrorists and to Timothy McVeigh, suggesting that all shared the conviction that their own knowledge of what was right for society entitled them to break laws, to kill, to engage in terrorism. He is not particularly eloquent, especially compared to some of his more "glamorous" co-conspirators, but he stumbles onto the film's more profound utterances. "When you feel that you have right on your side," he says at one point, "you can do some pretty horrific things." http://97.74.65.51/readArticle .aspx?ARTID=17802

"Prof" Manzanares has done a pretty horrific thing, along with the WNMU Board for tollerating his actions.

The "administration" at WNMU cares every little about things like this. It's all about diversity when it comes to things of this nature.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Aries

The behaviour of somebody around you (most probably your partner or family member) may be rather irrational today. Alternatively, a surprise involving one of these people is possible. Try to keep your domestic plans reasonably flexible to cover all possible outcomes. The focus is on improving your relationship with your partner or with friends today. Any outings should go very smoothly.
