Trump Must Defeat Revolutionaries Hiding in American Cities

Trump must defeat the ’60s bomb throwers and their supporters...

The galleries of the federal courtrooms stacked one floor above another in downtown Chicago are usually empty.

The emptiness is ironic, because the truth of the modern Democratic Party is revealed day after day in the courtrooms, where lawyers on both sides of lawsuits brought against police and prosecutors earn massive incomes from the legal bickering that takes shape there.

The emptiness is no accident. The propaganda arm of the militant left—now called the media—that is the mainstay of the Democratic Party desperately doesn’t want the public to know what takes place in these courtrooms, for, if the public knew, the costume of both the media and the party as entities pursuing supposed larger causes like “social justice” would be revealed as false, and the sinister strategy by which the party carries out its real motives would be revealed to an outraged public.

It is dismal to enter the courtrooms. The judges, attorneys, staff, and occasional visitor appear to be sleepwalking actors in someone else’s dream, a dream arising from the most sordid, criminally insane imagination. To see what takes place there not as an actor, but lucidly, with a fairness of mind, is more than comprehending legalities. Rather, the evidence arising in these cases ties together seemingly distant events over time into one ominous, chilling vision.

Chicago’s federal courts, for example, give compelling perspective on the 50th anniversary of a bombing in New York City that was commemorated last week by family members of the victims and various retired law enforcement members who investigated the bombing and those responsible.

One such family member was Joseph Connor, a man who has spent much of his life condemning the men who placed a bomb in one of the oldest bars in New York City, the Fraunces Tavern—a bomb that killed Connor’s father. Fraunces Tavern was chosen as the location for the bombing because it stands as an American icon. George Washington met with his generals for the final time there, and it is a regular meeting place for those working on Wall Street, an icon of American capitalism. It was this bomb that killed Connor’s father and three other people and injured more than fifty others.

The explosion was carried out by one of the most violent domestic terrorist groups from the 1970s, the FALN, a Marxist Puerto Rican group responsible for bombings all over the country in the volatile decade.

Connor spent his life decrying the actions of the FALN and trying to warn the public about the threat they posed, even as the media began recasting members of the group in a more noble, principled light. That process from terrorist/criminal to folk hero, a process conceived and polished in Chicago, has deep roots in the Democratic Party: in 1999 Connor and the other family members of victims were forced to watch as President Clinton, in one of the most cynical moves by a Democratic president, pardoned many members of the group with the help of then–US Attorney Eric Holder.

Holder, then, would go on to become lawfare henchman for Chicago’s native son President Obama. Was it Holder’s work in freeing the FALN terrorists that attracted Obama to appoint Holder as attorney general, the top law enforcement job in the nation? Who can say for sure, but under Obama, Holder initiated a lawfare campaign against big city police departments throughout the nation, complete with bogus consent decrees and a harassing Department of Justice—lawfare—that handcuffed the police, which led to an explosion in violent crime in big cities across the country.

Holder’s appointment as AG under Obama signified one of the most seismic shifts in American political parties. It marked the fact that traditional Democratic leaders like old man Mayor Daley, whose intolerance for the anti-American rioters was legendary, had been recast as operating in a hotbed of radicalism that these same rioters coveted.

Under Clinton and then Obama, the terrorists climbed out from under the filthy rocks in which they hid during the years they were on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. Members of the Weather Underground, for example—another group that resorted to terrorist bombings—returned to Chicago and became professors at top universities, performing a whitewashing of who and what the groups truly were. In their emergence, these groups knew throughout the Obama years that their influence would receive no interference from an Obama Justice Department. With Holder at the helm of the DOJ, they went to work taking command of the same DOJ institutions that had once hounded them around the country when they were on the run.

Responding to the unexpected, shocking victory of President Trump in the 2016 election, the left initiated a campaign to keep big cities under the control of Obama’s progressive left by imposing militant prosecutors across the nation with the help of philanthropist George Soros, none more so than Chicago’s Kimberly Foxx, whose radicalism made Holder look conservative in comparison.

The media also became part of the transformation from traditional Democrats to militant radical scribes, none more so than those at the Chicago Tribune. In 2021 the paper published articles about the FALN, describing the terrorists this way: “the group’s bombings killed six people in New York, although most caused no injuries.”

You got that? Six killed in the explosions, but “most caused no injuries.” One wonders, no injuries like the Fraunces Tavern bombing in which fifty were injured?

In one article about the FALN, the Tribune listed the fact that attorneys from one of Chicago’s own law firms, Jan Susler, represented FALN members after they got out of prison.

Here is a tie-in from the FALN to the inner workings of Chicago. Susler is currently involved in another case in which the release of violent offenders is, shall we say, controversial. Susler is listed as an attorney representing one of two men, both illegal immigrants, who were convicted for their role in the murder of a couple and the kidnapping of the couple’s children.

They were convicted of stabbing a couple to death in their apartment. A third offender in the murders remains in prison. The men were released from prison by claiming that they were coerced by police into confessing.

What makes the case particularly bizarre and troubling is the fact that even top prosecutors under former prosecutor Foxx asserted that the men were guilty of the crime.

Now the case is winding its way through the vapid halls of the federal courts. One compelling, shocking development after another arises in the case, suggesting the men should never have been released to begin with, yet the Chicago media ignores such evidence.

You get the picture by now? Holder and Clinton released the FALN terrorists. Chicago releases two illegal immigrants for a double murder. A dubious exoneration movement explodes in Chicago. Former Illinois governors George Ryan and Pat Quinn commute or fully pardon a host of convicted killers. Biden releases a host of killers shortly before leaving office.

Why does the Democratic Party want to let so many killers out? Why do they want to flood the country with illegal immigrants, many of them rapists and killers from in their home countries?

Go back to the chaos of the 1960s and ’70s and observe what united the various violent groups that arose calling for revolution: the Black Panthers, Weather Underground, and FALN. They were extraordinarily violent and called for more violence. They ultimately resorted to bombings to get their point across.

The bombings united all these groups in their conviction that whatever crazy creed they hoped would follow their revolution, they all agreed that the system must be destroyed. Bombings were employed early on, but proved fruitless. Such tactics only turned the majority of Americans away from their empty promises. To destroy the system, it is far more effective to unleash its own criminals on the public—hell, even obliterate the borders and let convicted killers and rapists from other countries enter the country, then provide them protection. “Sanctuary” they call it.

In this process, Chicago has proven most successful, a city in a county in a state all controlled by one political party.

Too bad no one listened to Joseph Connor years ago when he decried the release of the FALN terrorists. Too bad the Republican Party lay down in the face of this movement.

Of all the battles facing President Trump, perhaps the most crucial and difficult is waging war on the revolutionaries.

And the starting place for that may very well be the halls of the federal courts right in downtown Chicago.
