First page of WUO Declaration of a State of War with Amerika issued by Bernardine Dohrn, May 21 1970.[1] Dohrn was instrumental in launching the career of Chicago City Alderman Barack Obama, later elected President of the United States.

The Weather Underground, or Weathermen is a leftist terrorist organization now possibly inactive. [2]

Their ideology was explicitly communist and revolutionary. In one famous incident, several members were killed in the "Greenwich Village Explosion", in which amateur bomb-makers immolated themselves [3] preparing for a terrorist attack on Fort Dix. Other members, Cathy Wilkerson, Michael Fish and Kathy Boudin, survived and were defended by National Lawyers Guild [4] members. Kathy Boudin later received a 20-years-to-life sentence for her role in the 1981 Weatherman Nyack, New York Brinks armored truck robbery which resulted in the murders of two policemen and an armored truck security guard. [5]

The words "Death to Pigs" were written on a wall in the blood of Manson family victims; many rhetorical idioms were shared by the WUO & the Manson Family besides advocacy of illegal drug use, senseless violence, and killing.


At a 1969 "War Council" in Flint, Michigan, spokeswoman Bernardine Dohrn gave her most memorable and notorious speech. Holding her fingers in what became the Weatherman "fork salute," she said of the bloody murders recently committed by the Manson Family in which the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and a Folgers Coffee heiress and several other inhabitants of a Benedict Canyon mansion were brutally stabbed to death,[6]

“ Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!" ”
