The '''Weather Underground''', or '''Weathermen''' is a [[leftist]] [[terrorist]] organization now possibly inactive. <ref>[http://www.attacreport.com/ar_terror/tframe.php?region=namerica&group=wuo ATTAC Report]</ref> The group essentially fell apart after the end of the vietnam war and has not had any significant activity since the mid 1980's. Since its inception the Weather Underground identified its fundemental strategic thesis with the [[Maoist]] Chinese.  In its initial ideological statement, ''You Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows,'' the objective of wealth redistribution was put forward to justify revolutionary violence:
 
:"It is the oppressed peoples of the world who have created the wealth of this empire and it is to them that it belongs; the goal of the revolutionary struggle must be the control and use of this wealth in the interests of the oppressed peoples of the world.  It is in this context that we must examine the revolutionary struggles in the United States."<ref>Foreign Influence - Weather Underground Organization (WUO). FBI Chicago Field Office Report, August 20, 1976,
