Anyone around her in Wisconsin who might have raised suspicions would have been derided as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”
“Wisconsin mother-of-seven agrees to plead guilty to trying to plot ISIS terror attacks by instructing recruits on how to build bombs and poison reservoirs on hacked Facebook accounts,” by Jennifer Smith, Dailymail.com, April 22, 2019:
A Wisconsin mother-of-seven has agreed to plead guilty to trying to plan ISIS terror attacks.
Waheba Issa Dais, 45, has agreed to plead guilty to one count of providing material to support a terrorist group in exchange for another being dropped.
The Israeli native, who called herself a ‘housewife’ on her visa application to the US, plotted attacks such as poisoning a reservoir with Ricin.
She was arrested last year after trying to use social media to recruit other terrorists.
She hacked other people’s accounts and also operated her own.
Prosecutors say she tried to explain to them how to use explosives and poisons.
Dais was born in Jerusalem but came to the US with her husband in 1992. She settled in Chicago but has since moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin….
On Monday, as the plea deal was announced, it was revealed that she is in fact a mother-of-seven.
In her attempts to unleash terror on the group’s behalf, she discussed bombing street festivals as well as poisoning government water supplies….
In one Facebook post in February, she pledged her support for IS, according to the FBI’s report.
‘#Caution. When I publish any statement I completely believe in it. I was and I continue to be on the doctrine of the Islamic State,’ the post read.
In one online exchange, Dais told a potential recruit to ‘act like an ordinary person’ and that complete secrecy was needed to carry out attacks, the FBI said.
An FBI confidential informant told investigators that Dais is unemployed and that her ‘Islamic husband’ paid the bills.
The informant also reported that Dais was ‘constantly on social media promoting ISIS’ and that her accounts were frequently shut down for that reason….
Naram-Sin says
“In one online exchange, Dais told a potential recruit to ‘act like an ordinary person’ and that complete secrecy was needed to carry out attacks, the FBI said.”
So, maintain that complete secrecy by posting everything on Facebook where is will go completely unnoticed. We sure are lucky these people are so stupid. But I’m sure she was an anomaly, so lets import a lot more.
mortimer says
It remains a mystery to me why such wicked traitors cannot be shuffled out of the country with great speed.
She should not have been let in in the first place.
tom parry says
USA can do the world a favor by executing her asap.
Florin Aschilean says
she is not a traitor, she is an enemy spy and saboteur. she shouldn’t be trated like one of your citizens.
Lanny says
I bet there’s a cell in Guantanamo that did her just fine
Will says
She should be treated as a spy. Tried and when condemned punished at fullest extent of the law
Jeanette Saunders-Bartle says
These people do not act alone. You can bet she is surrounded by other terrorist. I would start looking at her husband first!
Lynn Miller says
I have been concerned about “someone doing something” to poison water supplies for some time.
PRCS says
Yep, another someone “who did something”.
Kris says
I was thinking that exact same thing!
Gail M Rivers says
Yep,, you are so right ..another someone that that wanted to do something funny that her account was not blocked or banned as I spend a lot of time in FB Jail just for giving my opinion and I will be honest ,,I hate no one but many people scare the hell out of me ..
crawford421 says
I wonder if Muslim students and tourists are still being found inside water treatment plants, reservoirs, etc. the way they were a few years ago.
Frank Rando says
The poisoning of reservoirs and other water supplies is an extremely difficult thing to do however certain pwater distribution systems are potential targets .
The reality is is that you would require hundreds of gallons or pounds of toxic materials to make a dent in a municipal water supply . There are water t reatment processes such as aeration , chorination as well as a large dilutional factor

Al Walaa wal Baraa … the ‘essential’ doctrine of hatred directed by Muslims against the dirty kufaar.
Isn’t that right, lebel? (checkmate)
FYI says
islamic apologists like lebel might simply claim that it is all a matter of “Context”
They often claim that a koranic teaching is taken “out of context”
islam itself is out of context!
The whole koran is out of context!
And out of date.
Is this hadith “out of context”?
“I have been made victorious through TERROR”
sahih Bukhari 4:52:220
Is this koranic command “out of context”?
“Oh ye who believe! take Not the Jews and christians for friends.they are friends to one another” k5:51
allah’s command not to obey the 2nd chief commandment:there is no Golden Rule in islam.

Funny how the context is so often that of Muslims plotting to slaughter Infidels.
Ashley says
In Belchertown, MA you can breach the Quabbin reservoir late at night when it is closed without being arrested…as long as you are a foreigner.
https://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/05/14/7-cited-for-trespassing-at-quabbin-reservoir-patrols-stepped-up-across-state/
Oh…all seven appeared in court and the trespassing charge was tossed. They were sent on their merry way and were never publically identified.
The incident happened just a couple of weeks after the marathon bombing and four miles from my home.
Wellington says
I remember reading about that, Ashley. Not all that far from Worcester I believe. Ah, the love from Islam never stops. A guarantee. Who could doubt it but a bigoted, hate-filled Islamophobe?
Ashley says
Yes, Wellington. Worcester is in Central, MA, Belchertown is in Western, MA. About a 35 minute drive.
Here’s the crazy thing, friend. I didn’t hear a damn thing about the trespassing on our local news at 9:00 that morning, eight hours after the incident. I learned about it here on JW at 7:30 AM.
I can’t begin to tell you how strange it was to find it here on JW when the Quabbin is but a 30 minute bike ride from our Belchertown home. After 9/11 the Quabbin was closed to the public for over a year. It is an extremely vulnerable infrastructure providing water to millions in the Boston area. Aircraft was prohibited from flying over the Quabbin for fear that “something” could be dropped into the reservoir for three years following 9/11.
The state’s Fusion Center had to test the water every 20 minutes to make sure it wasn’t contaminated for days after the trespassing incident, costing the state millions of dollars.
And these seven terrorists on a recon mission just walked…
CRUSADER says

CRUSADER says
Why wasn’t some inquest made into matters by the more conservative state reps?

Because to do so would be unseemly in Massachusetts, CRUSADER.
Thanks for expressing interest in this…the incident and the dismissal of the charges has haunted me these past six years.
I’ve had many a sleepless night.
A friend wrote this piece:

If i recall it correctly, they claimed they were “tourists” and just wanted to look around.
It doesn’t take that long to put something in water. Ricin can be dissolved in water.
Sarin (GB) clear, odorless, tasteless, mixes easily with water and can be used to poison. Either or both of these could be used to poison a city’s water supply.
I’m glad that whatever they had in mind did not result in deaths. If it did, I have not read or heard of it in the intervening time.

Ashley says:
“I can’t begin to tell you how strange it was to find it here on JW when the Quabbin is but a 30 minute bike ride from our Belchertown home…”
Yes Ashley, strange but true. The mainstream media systematically whitewashes anything Islam. Jihad Watch does not…
The fact that the mainstream media acts in this way is beyond maddening.
Ashley says
🙂
Thanks for understanding, James Lincoln.
Maddening is an understatement.
We now reside on the Vineyard and nobody, I mean NOBODY, is aware of the Quabbin incident.
And yet it went down right here in MA.
Story was essentially buried…squelched.
Wellington would reach for a beer…I’m going to prepare a martini pitcher for me, myself and I.

Weird. I’m on vacation in Britain and have zero interest in visiting a reservoir.
(Well, almost zero. I’d like to see the Cheddar Reservoir, despite it apparently being filled with water and not cheese.)
Gail M Rivers says
Many news media elect not to report on anything that might cause people to look other than favorable toward the Islamist. Had it been a Christine or Jew trust me you would have heard.. Just like the shooting in Va Beach , Va. What the media has failed to tell anyone is the shooter was a 40 year old democrat Muslim and even one of the ladies that worked there was afraid to go to work for fear of what he might do. SHe was even going to Illegally carry her concealed weapon because of her fear. After talking to her husband she decided it was not worth her losing her JOB over ,, Instead by not carrying she LOST HER LIFE.
mortimer says
Waheba Issa Dais, 45, is one of less than 1% of Muslims who are jihad-ready and one of the 15% of Muslims who support jihad.
USA has perhaps 2,000 – 3,000 jihad-ready Muslims. It certainly has at least 45,000 Muslims who will gladly aid and abet the jihadists.
Waheba Issa Dais understands the duty to HATE kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’.
This essential teaching of HATRED directed by Muslims against kafirs is called ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’.
It is the KEY doctrine for understanding the MOTIVATION of the jihadists. IF YOU ONLY LEARN ONE ISLAMIC DOCTRINE, YOU SHOULD LEARN THIS ONE.

CRUSADER says
Not sure how one incident — Boston Bombing
can take so much attention, while the drinking water issue
would get ignored as to who the potential perps / trespassers were.
Unseemly doesn’t cut it for the Boston Bombing so how would it on this Quabbin incident?
Poisoning water is a long standing practice for all sorts of folks through history wishing to cause mayhem and panic, etc.
Ashley says
Well, the brothers Tsarnaev did cause quite the commotion and closed Boston and surrounding communities down for a spell. Murdered four, including an MIT officer. Maimed scores others.
Rumor has it that Tamerlan knocked off a few of his buddies in Waltham prior to the bombing.
It will forever chap my hide that the Quabbin incident wasn’t adequately covered by the media. I guess millions were required to keel over and die for the incident to garner any substantial media attention…
This wasn’t criminal trespassing (for which the seven were acquitted of because they kept their noses clean for six months)…this was a recon mission. I just can’t believe their identities remain concealed.
I don’t think I would get very far approaching a nuclear power plant in the middle of the night and announcing that I was doing a research project. My ass would be in the Big House and my mug plastered to every newspaper in the US.
But hell…I’m just a white American female…

This is an Act of War. If a US citizen it’s treason. As Churchill defined an Appeaser as a person who hopes the crocodile will eat them last, what are the non-Muslim Apologists going to say about this? A bit similar to the ones who comment on the horrific events in Sri Lanka over Easter. Ship ’em all out. Including their non-Muslim sycophants.

“The Golden Age of Terrorism” ???
The golden age of terrorism – CNN – CNN.com
https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/28/opinions/bergen-1970s-terrorism/index.html
”
In fact, the real Golden Age of terrorism in the United States was during the ’70s, not in the post-9/11 world. Consider that terrorism in the United States was then a quite common feature of life: There were literally hundreds of terrorist bombings, shootings and hijackings in States during the 1970s. In the 14 years since 9/11 there have been by contrast only some two-dozen terrorist attacks in the United States perpetrated by a mix of jihadist terrorists, neo-Nazis, violent racists and anti-government militants, according to a count by New America.
During the decade of the 1970s terrorists killed 184 people in the States and injured more than 600 others. In the decade and a half since 9/11, terrorists have, by contrast, killed 74.

Nixon’s own 9/11: When terrorism came of age
Planes hijacked and diverted by “Palestinian” terrorists….
”
The President had been jolted into action by the simultaneous hijackings of planes in Europe headed to the United States. Jets belonging to TWA, Pan Am and Swissair were seized by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The group also attempted to hijack a jet over London belonging to the Israeli airline El Al but was thwarted by security guards on board.
The Pan Am seizure ended quickly, but the passengers on the TWA and Swissair jets were diverted to a British air base in Jordan and the drama only ended after days of tense diplomacy, when the hostages were all released in a deal in which the Swiss, German, British and Israeli governments let Palestinian prisoners go.
”
Daniel Pipes might think Islamism has died down since our recent 9/11 period….
and “in decline”….
Probably not so, given all what is going on. Islamic Terror just finds other pathways,
like the poison water that it is upon civilization.

Famously, Wisconsin had its share of Leftist terrorism…
Sterling Hall — centrally located building on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus.
The bomb, set off at 3:42 am on August 24, 1970, was intended to destroy the AMRC,
Army Mathematics Research Center…
The bombers were Karleton “Karl” Armstrong, Dwight Armstrong, David Fine, and Leo Burt. They called themselves the “New Year’s Gang”, a name which was derived from an exploit on New Year’s Eve 1969. In that earlier attack, Dwight and Karl, with Karl’s girlfriend, Lynn Schultz (who drove the getaway car), stole a small plane from Morey Field in Middleton. Dwight and Karl dropped homemade explosives on the Badger Army Ammunition Plant, but the explosives failed to detonate. They successfully landed the plane at another airport and escaped. Before the Sterling Hall bombing, Karl committed several other acts with anti-war sentiments, including setting fire to a ROTC installation at the University of Wisconsin Armory and Gymnasium (the “Red Gym”) and one meant for the state Selective Service headquarters which instead held the University of Wisconsin Primate Research Center. Karl also attempted to plant explosives at a Prairie du Sac electrical substation that supplied power to the ammunition plant, but was frightened off by the night watchman.

Bill Ayers:
Leader of the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group of the 1960s and ’70s
“Kill all the rich people. … Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.”
Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972
Worked as a professor of education at the University of Illinois from 1987-2010

Bill Ayers was born in December 1944 and was raised in a Chicago suburb. In the mid-1960s he taught at a radical alternative school — part of the “free school movement” — where students addressed teachers by their first names, and where no grades or report cards were given. By age 21, Ayers had become the director of that school. In 1968 he earned a B.A. in American Studies from the University of Michigan.
In the late Sixties, Ayers became a leader of the Weather Underground (WU), a splinter faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Characterizing WU as “an American Red Army,” Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.” One of Ayers’ fellow WU leaders was Bernardine Dohrn, the woman who would later become his wife.
In a July 29, 1969 speech which he delivered at the University of Oregon, Ayers boasted of SDS’s role in the Venceremos Brigades, a project initiated by the Cuban intelligence agency to recruit and train American leftists as “brigadistas” capable of waging guerrilla warfare.
Ayers was an active participant in the 1969 “Days of Rage” riots in Chicago, which were led by WU’s antecedent group, Weatherman. In the mayhem, nearly 300 members of the organization engaged in vandalism, arson, and vicious attacks against police and civilians alike. Their immediate objective was to spread their anti-war, anti-American message. Their long-term goal, however, was to cause the collapse of the United States and to create, in its stead, a new communist society over which they themselves would rule. With regard to those Americans who might refuse to embrace communism, Ayers and his comrades — including Bernardine Dohrn, Mark Rudd, Linda Evans, Jeff Jones, and numerous others — proposed that such resisters should be sent to reeducation camps and killed. The terrorists estimated that it would be necessary to eliminate some 25 million people in this fashion, so as to advance the revolution.
In his 2001 memoir Fugitive Days, Ayers recounts his life as a Sixties radical and boasts that he “participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.” Of the day he bombed the Pentagon, Ayers writes, “Everything was absolutely ideal…. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.” He further recalls his fascination with the fact that “a good bomb” could render even “big buildings and wide streets … fragile and destructible,” leaving behind a “majestic scene” of utter destruction.
All told, Ayers and the Weather Underground were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S. “I don’t regret setting bombs,” said Ayers in 2001, “I feel we didn’t do enough.” Contemplating whether or not he might again use bombs against the U.S. sometime in the future, he wrote: “I can’t imagine entirely dismissing the possibility.”

WEATHER UNDERGROUND
In 1970, Ayers’ then-girlfriend Diana Oughton, along with Weatherman members Terry Robbins and Ted Gold, were killed when a bomb they were constructing exploded unexpectedly. That bomb had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by hundreds of Army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Ayers himself attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, “tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too.” Notably, Ayers’ fingerprints were found at the bomb-making site, along with an assortment of anti-personnel weapons, stabbing implements, C-4 plastic explosive, and dozens of Marxist-Leninist publications.
After the death of his girlfriend, Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn spent the rest of the decade as fugitives running from the FBI.
Years later, Ayers would claim: “We [Weatherman] made a decision while we were willing to engage in extreme tactics, we would not harm human life…. We never hurt or harmed anyone. We destroyed property.” But this claim was contradicted by Larry Grathwohl, a United States Army veteran and an FBI informant during the 1970s, who in 1974 testified before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security and reported that in 1970:
“Bill [Ayers] was the person who directed the ‘focle’ [a four-person task force, small in size to evade detection] that I was part of to place the bomb at the DPOA [the Detroit Police Officers Association] Building. He designed the bomb and told me that he would get the necessary materials, the dynamite, et cetera, and 4 days later Bill broke that focle that I was part of up … and we were directed to go to Madison, Wisconsin.”
Grathwohl talked about the case again at a 2012 conference sponsored by America’s Survival, where he said: “During the meeting with Bill Ayers [in 1970] we were told that our objective would be to place bombs at the Detroit Police Officers Association … and at the 13th precinct. Furthermore, Bill instructed us to determine the best time to place these explosive devices that would result in the greatest number of deaths and injuries….” When Grathwohl, at that time, pointed out to Ayers that a Red Barn restaurant next door would most likely be destroyed and the customers killed during the explosion, Ayers replied that “sometimes innocent people have to die in a revolution.”
In 1974 Ayers co-authored — along with Dohrn, Jeff Jones, and Celia Sojourn — a book titled Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism. This book contained the following statements:
“We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men … deeply affected by the historic events of our time in the struggle against U.S. imperialism.”
“Our intention is to disrupt the empire, to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks, to make it hard to carry out its bloody functioning against the people of the world, to join the world struggle, to attack from the inside.”
“The only path to the final defeat of imperialism and the building of socialism is revolutionary war.”
“Revolutionary war will be complicated and protracted. It includes mass struggle and clandestine struggle, peaceful and violent, political and economic, cultural and military, where all forms are developed in harmony with the armed struggle.”
“Without mass struggle there can be no revolution.
Without armed struggle there can be no victory.”
“We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build the new society.”
“Our job is to tap the discontent seething in many sectors of the population, to find allies everywhere people are hungry or angry, to mobilize poor and working people against imperialism.”
“Socialism is the total opposite of capitalism/imperialism. It is the rejection of empire and white supremacy. Socialism is the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie, the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the eradication of the social system based on profit.”
The title Prairie Fire was an allusion to Mao Zedong’s 1930 observation that “a single spark can start a prairie fire.” Ayers and his co-authors dedicated the book to a bevy of violent, America-hating revolutionaries — including Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin who had killed Robert F. Kennedy.

In 1980 Ayers and Dohrn surrendered to law-enforcement authorities, but all charges against them were later dropped due to an “improper surveillance” technicality — government authorities had failed to get a warrant for some of their surveillance. Said Ayers regarding this stroke of good fortune: “Guilty as sin, free as a bird. America is a great country.”
Next, Ayers embarked on a quest to radicalize America by working within, rather than outside of, the nation’s mainstream institutions. In particular, he sought to embed himself in a position of influence within the education establishment. In 1984 Ayers earned a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Bank Street College. Three years later he received a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Columbia University’s Teachers College.
In 1987 Ayers was hired as a professor of education at the University of Illinois, a post he would hold until 2010. As of October 2008, his office door at the university was adorned with photographs of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Che Guevara, and Malcolm X.
In 1994 Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Michael Klonsky were among those listed on a “Membership, Subscription and Mailing List” for the Chicago Committees of Correspondence, an offshoot of the Communist Party USA.
In 1995, Ayers and Dohrn hosted a fundraiser at their home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors and political allies as Obama prepared to make his first run for the Illinois state senate. (This fundraiser was likely organized by the socialist New Party.) Also present at the meeting were Alice Palmer and Quentin Young.
There is strong evidence suggesting that Ayers wrote Dreams from My Father, Barack Obama’s 1995 memoir.
In 1995, Ayers — whose stated educational objective is to “teach against [the] oppression” allegedly inherent in American society — founded a “school reform organization” called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), which granted money to far-left groups and causes such as the community organization ACORN. Ayers’ teacher-training programs, which were funded by CAC, were designed to serve as “sites of resistance” against an oppressive social system.
Ayers also created, in collaboration with longtime communist Mike Klonsky, the so-called “Small Schools Movement” (SSM), where individual schools committed themselves to the promotion of specific political themes and pushed students to “confront issues of inequity, war, and violence.” A chief goal of SSM is to teach students that American capitalism is a racist, materialistic doctrine that has done incalculable harm to societies all over the world. One of the more infamous students to attend an SSM school (Mountain View High School in Arizona) was Jared Lee Loughner, the gunman who — on January 8, 2011 in Tucson — shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head, leaving her in critical condition. Loughner also sprayed gunfire at others in the vicinity, wounding thirteen and killing six.
In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a board member alongside Barack Obama until December 2002, at which time Obama left. Ayers went on to become Woods’ board chairman.
Notwithstanding his radical past, Ayers in 2001 rejected the claim that he and his fellow Weather Underground members had ever been terrorists. “Terrorists destroy randomly,” he wrote, “while our actions bore … the precise stamp of a cut diamond. Terrorists intimidate, while we aimed only to educate.”
Also in 2001, Ayers expressed his enduring hatred for the United States: “What a country. It makes me want to puke.”
At a 2007 reunion of former members of the Weather Underground and Students for a Democratic Society, Ayers reemphasized his contempt for the U.S., asserting that the nation’s chief hallmarks included “oppression,” “authoritarianism,” and “a kind of rising incipient American form of fascism.” Moreover, he claimed that the U.S. was guilty of pursuing “empire unapologetic[ally]”; waging “war without end” against “an undefined enemy that’s supposed to be a rallying point for a new kind of energized jingoistic patriotism”; engaging in “unprecedented and unapologetic military expansion”; oppressing brown- and black-skinned people with “white supremacy”; perpetrating “violent attacks” against “women and girls”; expanding “surveillance in every sphere of our lives”; and “targeting … gay and lesbian people as a kind of a scapegoating gesture …”
In November 2007, Ayers spoke at a Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS) “Convergence” in Chicago. Though not officially listed as a member of MDS, he has referred to the organization’s activities as “our work.”
In March 2008 Ayers was elected (by a large majority of his peers) as Vice President for Curriculum Studies at the American Educational Research Association (AERA), putting him in a position to exert great influence over what is taught in America’s teacher-training colleges and its public schools. Specifically, Ayers seeks to inculcate teachers-in-training with a “social commitment” to the values of “Marx,” and with a desire to become agents of social change in K-12 classrooms. Whereas “capitalism promotes racism and militarism,” Ayers explains, “teaching invites transformations” and is “the motor-force of revolution.” According to a former AERA employee, “Ayers’ radical worldview, which depicts America as “the main source of the world’s racism and oppression,” thoroughly “permeates” AERA.
Ayers has also contributed money to Teaching for Change and Rethinking Schools, groups dedicated to turning K-12 students into social and political activists.
In a December 2012 speech at New York University, Ayers emphasized the importance of using the education system, among other things, to indoctrinate young people and thereby transform American society. Said Ayers: “If we want change to come, we would do well not to look at the sites of power we have no access to; the White House, the Congress, the Pentagon. We have absolute access to the community, the school, the neighborhood, the street, the classroom, the workplace, the shop, the farm.”

It appears that Ayers was a mentor to one Barack Hussein Obama. Ayers is from a well to do family who speaks eloquently of oppression of Black and Brown people. From personal experience I would not be surprised if very few Black or Brown people live in Ayers neighborhood.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND
Author and longtime English professor Mary Grabar explains how Ayers has exerted a very large influence on the American education system:
“[Ayers] was successful in helping to transform and destroy education. And he did it at taxpayers’ expense. He has trained hundreds of teachers. He worked closely with Obama and [U.S. Secretary of Education] Arne Duncan in Chicago in funding programs aimed at radicalizing students. One of his closest colleagues, Linda Darling-Hammond, was on Obama’s education transition team, and was in charge of developing one of the two Common Core tests. And Bill Ayers has appeared at conferences with Duncan and other officials in organizations that devised Common Core.
“Education has always been the gateway for the smart and ambitious to get into the middle class. Ayers aims to destroy that opportunity, especially in the ‘urban schools,’ which is what the University of Illinois at Chicago, where Ayers taught, specializes in….
“Bill Ayers likens a traditional school to prison because it requires students adhere to dress codes, schedules, and rules of discipline. But he has had captive audiences and has used his power as a professor to indoctrinate future teachers. His education philosophy is based on anarchism, progressivism, and Marxism. It’s all about radicalizing children in social justice lessons, and making them see themselves as victims of an evil capitalistic system.
“It’s a toxic mixture, especially for the most vulnerable children who benefit the most from a traditional education, as studies show. His philosophy then filters down to practices and policies. Obama’s Justice Department order on racial quotas for school punishment parallels Ayers’ calls for eliminating discipline of inner-city students.
“The last thing that Ayers and his fellow Marxists want is for inner city boys to become middle class husbands and fathers. What they are producing is more Trayvon Martins, more rioters in the streets of Baltimore. The black community should be outraged that these upper-class white radicals are using their children in this way.
“Sadly, Ayers’ books are among the most widely used in education schools. Future teachers study them. He speaks at education conferences, and as I saw in 2013 at one major conference, is revered as a legitimate academic and mentor…. What Bill Ayers would have in the classroom extends the 1960s agenda of smashing monogamy, ending the bourgeois family and its values, destroying the work ethic, patriotism. So what we have is kids indoctrinated with lessons about the police—the 1960s narrative about the ‘pigs’—fatherless, rootless, joining gangs, and looting in the streets. It’s a Marxist’s dream come true.”
Ayers’ influence in education is not limited solely to his work in the United States. Indeed, he currently sits on the board of the Miranda International Center, a Venezuelan government think tank dedicated to bringing Cuba-style education to Venezuelan schools. (Ayers greatly admires Venezuela’s Marxist President Hugo Chavez.)
At a May 18, 2009 rally organized by the Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine, Ayers joined Rev. Jeremiah Wright in addressing a crowd of more than 400 people at the First United Church of Oak Park (a Chicago suburb) just prior to participating in an annual walk designed to call attention to Israel’s alleged crimes against the Palestinian people. Today Ayers is an affiliated activist of the anti-Israel organization Free Gaza, along with such luminaries as Bernardine Dohrn, Jodie Evans, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Adam Shapiro. Ayers is also an endorser of the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. To view a list of additional notable endorsers and supporters, click here.
In August 2010, Ayers announced that he was retiring from his teaching post at the University of Illinois. However, he continues his work with AERA and serves also as an editorial-board member of In These Times, a Chicago-based socialist journal.
Beginning in the fall of 2011, Ayers was a strong supporter of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, which he described as a “North American Spring,” akin to the “Arab Spring.” Said Ayers: “These kinds of movements expand our consciousness of what’s possible.” On October 19, 2011, Ayers led a “teach-in” for members of “Occupy Chicago” (that city’s OWS contingent) on the tactics and history of “non-violent direct action.” He lauded the Chicago activists for their “brilliance”; condemned America’s “violent culture”; and derided the Tea Party movement as a bastion of “jingoism, nativism, racism.”
In March 2011, Ayers addressed an Occupy Wall Street contingent in New York City and told them: “I get up every morning and think, today I’m going to make a difference. Today I’m going to end capitalism. Today I’m going to make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed but I’m back to work tomorrow, and that’s the only way you can do it.”
In November 2011, Ayers was a keynote speaker at the National Association for Multicultural Education’s (NAME) international conference in Chicago, along with critical race theorist Patricia Williams and several others. In December 2012, Rick Ayers, a teacher-education professor at the University of San Francisco, was elected as NAME’s co-president.
In September 2015, Ayers expessed support for the presidential campaign of socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. “I believe,” wrote Ayers, “that among the Sanders supporters there are thousands who are dissatisfied, who are disgruntled, but who do not have a coherent left analysis, who therefore are open to our ideas as they weren’t before they got involved in the Sanders surge. These seekers will be open (certainly many of them) to ideas from the Left of Sanders…. So, why don’t we joi[n] a Sanders local campaign or go to a mass rally? If it seems right, we could have leaflets about participatory democracy compared to the top down structure of the campaign. We could have lists of places and projects where anarchists and others are working with people in projects that are using anarchist and community participatory ideas and vision. Places where Bernie supporters might get involved once they knew about them.”
Bill Ayers has authored a series of books about parenting and educating children, including: A Kind and Just Parent; The Good Preschool Teacher; Zero Tolerance: Resisting the Drive for Punishment in Our Schools; and Teaching Towards Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the Classroom.
Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn raised three children. One is named Malik (the Muslim name of Malcolm X). Another is named Zayd (after Zayd Shakur, a Black Liberation Army revolutionary who was killed while driving the cop-killer JoAnne Chesimard — a.k.a. Assata Shakur — to a hideout). The third, a boy named Chesa Boudin, was raised by Ayers and Dohrn after his natural parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for their roles in the 1981 Brinks murders, a joint Weatherman and Black Liberation Army operation that resulted in the killing of two police officers and an armed guard.

Part of an effort to squelch ISLAMIZATION and LEFTISM in the Education System in USA
is undertaken by TNT Truth in Textbooks (TNT), formerly Truth in Texas Textbooks (TTT) Coalition
and also ACT for AMERICA….
https://truthintexastextbooks.com/about-us-2/
By the end of 2018 TNT will have over 200 volunteers who have attended and completed the three month long training program. The goal is to have 500 trained reviewers who will be standing by to assist teachers, parents and those concerned citizens who find material in the social studies classrooms to be less than accurate. TNT hopes to have an additional 200 reviewers trained by the end of 2018.
TNT will assist those states that do a centralized process of textbook review and selection for all grades K-12. There are 22 of those states.
TNT, when requested by parents, teachers or school board members, can assist in reviewing the social studies textbooks being considered for grades K-12.
TNT, when requested by parents, teachers or school board members, can assist in reviewing instructional material, supplemental material that is not a part of the school approved lesson plan or other audio/video material (based upon availability to obtain the material) on specific social studies related topics.
There is no charge for any of these services.

“act like an ordinary person”
***********************
This says so much. moslims are not “ordinary.” They are focused on killing other people, getting other moslims to kill, and promoting their vile worship of satan.
Where is her burqa? It was made for her. And it would have made it easier to know she is not “an ordinary person,” but a moslim intent on death and destruction.
DRHazard says
I’m curious about how she acted, on a day to day basis, with her children. Was the entire household colored by the intense anger and disdain that Islam provokes? Did she teach her children that Jews drink the blood of children? Did she describe to them the punishments Muhammad laid out for adultery, theft, and apostasy?
Did she tell her sons that blowing themselves up along with non-Muslims, and calling it Jihad, will prove to Allah that she was a good mother?
Islam is sometimes referred to as a cult. While the dividing lines between cults and religions can be nebulous, one element stands out (at least for me) as an essential part of a cult. That is when the doctrines of the cult override powerful human instincts, such as the mother/child bond.
In conclusion, Islam is evil and any mother who understands Islam, but practices it anyway, can NEVER be a good parent.

I have always loved history and lately I have been studying the causes of the French revolution. What we see today is similar but in many ways worse than the causes that led to the French revolution. The people that have been pulling the strings of what we in America are experiencing today, the media, college professors and administrators, politicians, judges, lawyers, corporate boardroom members and others, all of them leftists seem to be oblivious (tone deaf) to the anger that is simmering just below the surface in the majority of Americans today. Reading tens of thousands of comments over the last few years tells me that the anger and resentment is real, and massive.
The powers that be really need to reflect on what has been done and work furiously to undo it all. Because what we are witnessing in America and to a greater extent Western Europe is how they end up with a type of French revolution. Of course that type of revolution in modern America would be distinctly American and in ways different than the French revolution. How it would all play out, I have no idea. Will the powers that be see the writing on the wall and take action to prevent it? I don’t think so, they seem to have gone all in on what they are and have been doing. My guess is they won’t even try to change until it is too late. I really hope those responsible heed the warning signs but by their behavior as of late I don’t have much faith in that. And that is how they end up with a type of French revolution.
gravenimage says
The French revolution was hardly in general a good thing. That we would want to throw out American democracy in favor of this bloody carnage is very questionable.
That we would be better able to defend against Islam if we were eating our own is quite questionable, as well–but not the first time this poster has preached just that.
tgusa says
Hello “Of course that type of revolution in modern America would be distinctly American and in ways different than the French revolution.”
Quit reading what you want to read and then attributing it to me. Thank you.
somehistory says
People in general, esp those who seek power and then rule over others, are not the brightest people. One only has to be observant of human behavior on a daily basis and listen to conversation.
And, it may not be common knowledge that the people who brought about the French revolution were themselves beheaded not longer after…because there seemed to be a lust in the population for spilling blood once it had begun.
Who really wants to end up with their necks on the chopping block?
elee says
Scary photo. I’m inclined to think her eyes are scarier than any dark flat Muslim eyes I’ve ever seen. Did you know that people in some places think people with blue eyes have got some kind of ominous juju?
Jean (old) says
elee
Yeah, and in Britain some say that gingers have no souls.
Oh, and speaking of juju, in certain African countries people hunt down albinos to use their body parts in medicine.
Superstition is such a diehard phenomenon.
I guess it makes the world feel more controllable than it is.
‘The juju made her do it!’
WPM says
She has the Charley Manson family eyes in her look ,a true believer in spilling blood for false gods and demons .This look and her evil feelings over ride any logic so it is easy for people in that state of mind to make stupid mistakes.

You are spot on, Robert. The Citizens for the St. Croix Valley (www.CitizensForTheStCroixValley.com) were successful in stopping a potentially illegal refugee resettlement through a Catholic Church in Hudson, Wisconsin. We were immediately reported to the SPLC Brownshirts and placed on the notoriously now-discredited Hate Map. We were called every vile name you can think of in the local letters to the editor, with the hearty support of Rivertowns.net Newspapers and Forum Communications through the Hudson Star Observer and Twin Cities media. We know who is the Final Judge. Thank God for God.

You can easily see the look of satan in her eyes. Just think of all the thousands of terrorist attacks committed by mu slime s in the last I9 years that have been thwarted. Think of how many victims their would have been and yes, they would still say that islam is a religion of peace.

Just like in the revolutionary war, we are going to have to rise up and band together as one united and strong force and drive those who follow this abomination out of our country. They are here only to conquer, and if we don’t take action, they will succeed. One of the things Obama was very successful at was dividing us as a nation. He was smart enough to know that a house divided against itself can never stand. As long as we are fighting each other, we are easier to take control of. We’ll be so focused on the other things Obama gave us to pit ourselves against each other, that we won’t be paying attention to the biggest threat of all.
