Speaker 0: A federal grand jury in Detroit today charged the 13 top leaders of the weathermen with plotting to bomb public buildings in Chicago, Detroit, New York, and Berkeley, California. A weatherman are the militant faction of the students for a democratic society.
Speaker 1: Dedicated revolutionaries working to exploit our weaknesses for the ultimate destruction of The United States system of government as we know it.
Speaker 2: Whatever it cost, whatever, you know, destructive kinds of activity we could do against the US government, the bat
Speaker 0: What we wanted to do here was deliver the most horrific hit that The United States Government had ever suffered on its territory.
Speaker 2: I brought up the subject of what's going to happen after we take over the government. You know, we we become responsible then for administrating, you know, two fifty million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25,000,000 people. And they were dead serious.
