“confrontation politics puts the enemy up against the wall and forces him to define himself. in addition, it puts the individual up against the wall. he has to make a choice. radicalization of the individual means that he must commit himself to the struggle to change society as well as share the radical view of what is wrong with society.”\

“when one professor on the third day of the takevoers asked rudd whether he really wanted to destroy the university — ‘doesn’t the university have any redeeming features that merit your saving it?’ — the sds chairman was at a loss for an answer: he hadn’t really thought about what he really wanted out of the university . . . but during the next days and weeks . . . it became clear to many sdsers in a very direct way that it was not the reform of the university that they really wanted, not the limiting of complicity (between government and university) not the restructuring of the evil complex, but something much vaster, more significant, more, well, revolutionary . . . by commencement time neither rudd nor more most of the other sdsers had much doubt about how to answer the question of the university’s “redeeming features”. the seeds of weatherman are planted here.”\

(dare to struggle, dare to win)\
we are members of a delegation of white american revolutionaries who have just returned from a meeting with representatives of the provisional revolutionary government of south vietnam (prg). the meeting took place in cuba, free territory of the americas.\
the prg delegates to the meeting explained to us the actual political and military situation in vietnam which has been systematically hidden from the american people by the nixon administration and the press. united states imperialism is being completely defeated in vietnam. militarily, the united states has been reduced to the desperate defense of its bases in the cities, combined with constant and indiscriminate bombings of the entire population. but the us bases are being successfully attacked and even inside the cities there are large sections where us troops cannot go.\
over 11 million out of south vietnam’s 34 million people are living in the liberated areas administered by the prg. because their war for self determination is a people’s war, there are 11 million soldiers fighting against us imperialism. representing the overwhelming majority of the vietnamese people the provisional revolutionary government is the legitimate government of south vietnam.\
no matterr how long us imperialism tries to hang on to south vietnam, it will lose. every day the war goes on means the death of more vietnamese and more american gis who have no interest in continuing the war. we are committing ourselves to intensifying the struggle against us aggression in vietnam and in support of the vietnamese people until all us troops leave vietnam. as people who are located inside the imperialist monster, we are in a position to do decisive damage to the american ruling class’s plans to continue and expand its world rule. the upcoming us defeat in vietnam will be a vital blow to those plans: we aim to do everything we can to speed up that defeat.\
as part of that struggle, students for a democratic society has called a demonstration in chicago which will take place from october 8th to october 11th. the demonstration in support of the prg will demand immediate withdrawal from vietnam and all other occupied areas, immediate release of all black and brown prisoners and all other political prisoners, independence for puerto rico, and an end to the income tax war surcharge. we ask everyone who supports the vietnamese people’s struggle to join us.\

as reported by the statistical section of the records and identification division of the chicago police department, 287 arrests occurred for various charges of mob action, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, aggravated battery and other offenses during the weatherman “days of rage” mob activity october 8 through 11, 1969. during this period 59 police officers sustained personal injury including abrasions, contusions, cuts and bruises on the arms, legs, groins, body and head; human bites on the arms and hands, loose teeth and injury to eyes and ears.\
on december 1 and 19, 1969, a special grand jury, cook county, illinois, returned indictments against 64 weathermen as a result of the street disorders, october 8-11, 1969, in chicago. the charges included aggravated battery, resisting arrest, mob action and aiding an escape.\

we came to do material damage to pig amerika and all that it’s about — its school-jails, its pig armies, its fat businessmen, and its greedy empire. we came to do it in the road — in the open — so that white amerika could dig on the opening of a new front, on the birth of a new brigade in the world liberation army. we came to attack — because we know that the only things to defend in honkie amerika are the privileges — the cars, the apartments, the hotels, the tvs — that we’ve gained off the sweat of the people of the world. we came to vamp on those privileges and destroy the motherfuckers from the inside.\

during march, 1970 it was determined that the “weather bureau” which controlled the wuo at the time had recently met wherein a split had developed among the national leadership as to the course of weatherman activities. one group supported the view that the time for action is now and that weatherman should proceed to implement their underground strategy of strategic sabotage by using bombs, explosives and guns to attack the establishment and in particular police and military installations. this group believes weatherman will learn and develop the technical skills required in the use of bombs and explosives out of sheer necessity\

after taking control of the sds, the weatherman (wuo) occupied the sds national office located at 1601 west madison street, chicago, illinois, from mid-june, 1969, until they abandoned the location during february, 1970, when the organization submerged into an underground status. because the wuo feared that the rival progressive labor party, whom they had expelled from sds during the june, 1969, national convention, might attempt to seize the national office, they limited office employees to individuals who were followers of their ideology\
because the wuo’s encouragement of violence on the weeks that preceded the “national action” was so great, most other “new left” organizations openly or passively denounced the proposed riots\

the wuo’s last open meeting held prior to their submergence into an underground status in early 1970 was their “flint, michigan war council” held december 27-31, 1969. it was at this meeting that the decision was made to go underground and to engage in guerrilla warfare against the us government. as with their “days of rage” virtually all of the attendees at this meeting were either wuo members or were highly sympathetic to their ideology. the following individuals, who are mentioned in this document, are known to have attended this convention:\
