The hippy movement has produced for our society, the likes of Bill Ayers, Adolf Hitler (Adolf Hitler?  Yes, Adolf Hitler-keep reading!)and produced the idealism that influenced Barak Obama. If you still think that the hippy movement and its influence is dead, listen to this video; at one time, the ranting and ravings of the hippy movement was just that – the ranting and ravings of youth and rebellion. Now, we would be foolish to take these people lightly. To illustrate this point, Jason Mattera has taken to the streets to interview some of these future brownshirts. We can no longer ignore these people.  Listen to this:

 

 

When we think of hippies, we automatically think of the 60’s. Did you know that a hippie movement in Germany was part of the genesis of Nazism?   The Freikorps was a paramilitary group who shared Hitler’s passion to free Germany from Socialism and communism. The Freikorps were spawned from the German generation of Hitler’s time and from different movements. One of these movements was the Wandervogel, a group of young idealists, very much like the modern hippy movement of today. The influence of this group spread to the U.S. in the early 20^th century with German immigrants. They came from middle class families and were opposed to the German establishment of the day; the LIBERAL bougeois society, bizarrely enough. They dressed in bright odd clothing and wandered around the countryside listening to oratory passages from Nietzsche or Stefan George or sitting around campfires in quest of “messages from the forest.” They called their leader a “fuhrer” and that name stuck. They thrived on mysticism and idealism and were activists; they wanted action and found it in the many German revolutions before WWII and the advent of Hitler. Some of the members of these groups went in different directions ideologically. Some identified with the nationalism of the Friekorps and Adolf Hitler. Hitler joined the ranks of the Friekorps and met several of his henchman. Nazism was born in the in the trenches of revolution.

The former activists of the modern hippy movement are now our country’s leaders; hence, Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground movement and his influence.  There is a interesting website that celebrates the hippy movement and Bill Ayers is one of the royalty of hippydom. The Weather Underground posted this statement after the terrorist attack of October 6, 1970: 

We invite Ky and Nixon and Agnew to travel in the country.  Come to the high schools and campuses.  But guard you planes, guard your colleges, guard your banks, guard your children, GUARD YOUR DOORS.

Low and behold, Bill Ayers is now considered a distinquished professor at the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He has been involved in the education of our children. He was a teacher at the Children's Community School and eventually became its director. This school is a radical “progressive” school to teach children to be “free thinking”.   Ayers’ attitude about teaching says it all, “Eventually if there's to be a serious revolution in this country there must be an adult movement, possibly built around professions like teaching. But any such movement must be built on the foundation of the student movement. In building this movement, one serious question we're going to be facing ~ since the country as a whole is moving more and more to the right - is to choose when we must do things which are good for the movement which in the short-run are bad for the country.” http://www.hippy.com/php/article-361.html

When you discuss Chicago education, in steps Barak Obama and when radical meets exhippy and terrorist, you have the Chicago Annenberg Challenge:

 . . . CAC translated Mr. Ayers's radicalism into practice. Instead of funding schools directly, it required schools to affiliate with "external partners," which actually got the money. Proposals from groups focused on math/science achievement were turned down. Instead CAC disbursed money through various far-left community organizers, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or Acorn). http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212856075765367.html

Barak Obama led this foundation from from 1995 to 1999. Over $100 million went into the foundation to radicalize the educational system of Chicago. This man is now the president of the United States. His actions to date have reflected the radical influence of individuals such as Bill Ayers. The influence of the hippy movement continues to be a destructive force, whether in the form of the Wandervogel of Hitler’s time or the movement of the 60’s, or the “new” hippies of the New Millennium.
