A few days ago I published excerpts from the first issue of Osawatomie, the Weather Underground 1975 newspaper. In that post I included the cover, and pages 3 through 5.
Several readers asked what became of page 2. Well, I didn’t include it originally because it wasn’t as relevant to the current campaign — and also because the scan of that page came out a bit blurry. But due to popular demand, just to make things complete, I hereby present page 2 of the first issue of Osawatomie. Be forewarned that there’s nothing in it directly related to Obama or his campaign — other than to further highlight the true nature of the Weather Underground, which was founded by Obama’s associate William Ayers.
On the page, Ayers and his gang explain the rationale behind the newpaper’s name, and then once again (as in Prairie Fire) go on to list all their “armed actions” against the “enemy” (i.e. the United States) — even going so far as to state, as I argued in my original Prairie Fire essay, that less that one-third of their attacks had anything to do with Vietnam, once and for all debunking the media’s endless claims that the Weather Underground were a group which merely existed to “protest the Vietnam War.”
Anyway, read it for yourself. Click on the image below to see a high-resolution jpeg. And yes, as you will see, it is a little bit blurry, due to a problem during the scanning process — but it is readable:
