Topic: Weather Underground

In 1971, the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group led by Bill Ayers, bombed the U.S. Capitol building. The explosion caused significant damage to a Senate restroom and a nearby barber shop, destroying a priceless stained-glass mosaic. Unlike the response to the January 6th events, the Capitol was reopened to the public almost immediately following the 1971 attack.

Susan Rosenberg, a former member of the Weather Underground pardoned by Bill Clinton, serves as the vice chair of Thousand Currents, the fiscal sponsor for Black Lives Matter. Historical context is provided regarding Communist Party efforts to organize in Alabama during the 1920s and 1930s. The discussion posits that Marxist ideologies have long sought to use racial movements as tools for political transformation.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors identifies as a "trained Marxist," having been mentored by Eric Mann of the Labor Community Strategy Center. Mann, a former Weather Underground member, advocates for "transformative organizing" aimed at challenging the U.S. empire. The strategy involves radicalizing low-income communities to overturn capitalism and the existing government structure.

Former Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers was identified as an organizer during the protests that led to the cancellation of a Donald Trump rally at the University of Illinois Chicago. Ayers is seen in footage encouraging students to oppose Trump's "organized hatred." The segment links the tactics used in the Chicago protests to 1960s-era radical activism and questions the role of organizations like MoveOn.org in coordinating the unrest.

The acquisition of a 70% interest in Weather Central by EL Rothschild LLC in 2012 is linked to the current dissemination of weather data. The hosts suggest that the Rothschild family's control over the Weather Channel and Weather Underground influences the "warmist" narrative presented by meteorologists. This centralized control of scientific data is cited as a reason for the uniform alarmism seen across different news networks during Hurricane Patricia.

Adam Curry introduces a comparison between Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro. Ayers is described as a former domestic terrorist turned education professor, while Shapiro is identified as a sharp-witted, fast-talking writer associated with Breitbart. The segment sets up a contrast between their views on government authority and the Second Amendment.

Meteorologist Cliff Mass and other observers report that Hurricane Irene never reached sustained hurricane-force winds while moving up the East Coast. Data from Weather Underground indicated top wind speeds were significantly lower than the 75-100 mph reported by major news networks. Rush Limbaugh is accused of using this research on his program without proper attribution to the No Agenda show.

Secretary Janet Napolitano issues confusing directives for citizens to "hunker down" while simultaneously suggesting evacuations, leading to logical contradictions regarding road safety. Real-time data from Weather Underground and personal aviation experience are used to debunk media reports of extreme wind speeds in Maryland and New York. Reporters are accused of faking the intensity of conditions while standing in relatively calm environments.

Climate scientists are criticized for claiming that record-breaking winter snowfalls are consistent with global warming. The hosts point out a contradiction: while some groups like Weather Underground link the weather to climate change, the NOAA Climate Scene Investigator unit stated that natural weather patterns were responsible, not global warming.
