The whole world hasn’t been watching closely enough

Marilyn Katz: Self described Marxist and former head of security for the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS.) She was a major player in the ’68 riots at the DNC in Chicago. She was a sorority girl turned mouthpiece of a terrorist organization turned anti-capitalist capitalist communist.

Read on, she’s been a major player in positioning the Manchurian president we have now.

Today, many claim that SDS was a “peaceful organization.” Take Marilyn Katz, who oversaw SDS security during the 1968 Chicago riots.

During the “Chicago Seven” trials, a police officer testified that on one chaotic night in Lincoln Park, Ms. Katz briefed a group of protesters on a new addition to their arsenal of anarchy — guerrilla nails.

“She had two types,” the officer recounted. “One was a cluster of nails that were sharpened at both ends and fastened in the center. It looked like they were welded or soldered. She said these were good for throwing or putting underneath tires. She showed another set that was the same type of nails, sharpened, but they were put through a Styrofoam cylinder. There was a weight put through the middle, another nail, held together with something that looked like liquid solder.”

Katz was communications director for Chicago Mayor Harold Washington. And is now owner of a communications firm and a paid, registered lobbyist, as well as a close personal friend of the Obamas. So much for her anti-capitalism marxist philosophy, eh?

Her list of friends is a Who’s Who of the powerful elite in Chicago, Washington and the White House.

Don Rose, another SDS member and avowed Marxist, who coined the famous battle cry of the ’68 riots – “the whole world is watching” – is a close friend and comrade of Katz and the mentor of David Axelrod. The three of them have a friendship and history that spans some 30 years.

Katz has long been acquainted with Obama supporter and former Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers. In April 2008 Katz told the Chicago Sun-Times that she had first met Ayers when he was a 17-year-old fellow member of Students for a Democratic Society, “a peaceful group from which the Weather Underground splintered.” (emphasis added) from DiscoverTheNetworks.org

It was Katz who organized the anti-Iraq war demonstration in Chicago, 2002 where Obama made his first anti-war speech. He was an invited speaker. It was his coming out party. And it was a speech that Obama referred to many times in his presidential campaign. Marilyn Katz, one of the event’s organizers, recalls the audience’s reaction. “The crowd was pretty much transfixed,” she said.

Marilyn Katz today.

… Katz, a lifelong socialist revolutionary who said last August that she “probably” rejects violence, is a close friend of Jarrett — and of Barack and Michelle Obama. She even visited the White House this July.

It was Katz who introduced Michelle Obama to Valerie Jarret and the “very sophisticated inner social circle” of Chicago elite Marxists. … Michelle “was recognized as brilliant and beautiful, and immediately accepted into a very sophisticated social circle.”

[Liza] Mundy [biographer of Michelle Obama] writes Michelle “and Barack…enjoyed a range of relations with people who shared their lifestyle, as well as their progressive views and political involvement. ‘These are folks,’ says Marilyn Katz, a member of their social circle, ‘who talk to their friends a number of times a day.” Katz repaid her friend by becoming a campaign bundler for Obama ‘08.

…And possibly trying to buy Jarrett a senate seat. Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has indicated, after Obama’s presidential election, Katz contacted his wife, Patti, with a deal to name Valerie Jarrett to the open senate seat in exchange for a White House payoff, brokered through SEIU.

Despite the controversy, in late July Katz joined Valerie Jarrett and Susan Sher in Washington for the Obama administration’s celebration of the 37^th anniversary of Title IX.

Given her radical history (beginning with SDS during the Days of Rage) and close association with our president and first lady, it may be that Katz helped introduce or reinforce [Dr. Quentin] Young’s arguments [for universal heath care] to the Obamas. They could have been sold socialist ideology by any number of their friends, acquaintances, and contacts. The relationship of Katz, Jarrett, Ayers, the Obamas, Young, Carl Davidson, the New Party, the late Rabbi Arnold Wolf, and many others are as hazy as they are disconcerting. It seems a constellation of Marxists hovers over the first couple at all times — and this is not by chance.

By all accounts, the Obamas are close with their friends — including Katz. The nation is at peril when the White House has an unrepentant ’60s radical on speed dial.  NewsRealBlog.com

How many friends do you have with mug shots? Bet Obama has you beat!

Jeff Jones: Just another of Obama's friends with a mug shot.

Jeff Jones is the author of Obama’s healthcare reform. Anyone who’s watched Glenn Beck has seen his mug shot and knows about this man and his Weather Underground/SDS history. Patti Villacorta at PajamasMedia has an interesting article about him today.

These are the last couple paragraphs from it:

Thai Jones, the son of Jeff Jones and Eleanor Stein, wrote about his life as the son of revolutionaries in a 2004 memoir. He writes of a father who can’t seem to let the movement go. When the Weathermen regrouped in the early 70s, changing its name from the Weather Underground to the Weather Underground Organization (WUO), Jeff Jones led the way by penning an underground manifesto:

Jeff had become an adult while he was underground. Fighting the war had been his primary purpose. With it over, he could have claimed victory and abandoned militancy. He might have surfaced, held a press conference, copped a plea bargain and gone on to pursue politics in the evenings like the rest of the movement people. But neither he nor the others considered it. They had gone too far down the path to turn around and come home. In fact, they would become more fanatical, study Marxist-Leninist theory, and talk more seriously than ever before about toppling the government, though the chances of succeeding were now slightly higher than they had been at any other time since 1968.

By 2006, Jeff Jones, Bernadine Dohrn, and William Ayers had authored a book: Sing a Battle Song: The Revolutionary Poetry, Statements, and Communiqués of the Weather Underground, 1970-1974.
