The Weather Underground plot
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", Bob Dylan sang in "Subterranean Homesick Blues". For example, in the late 1960s everyone could sense that the revolution was in the air and a few subversive students made a fist under the name "The Weatherman". The aim was to overthrow the established order, whereby radical means were not shunned. Doing nothing was considered an act of violence. The war in Vietnam and the brutal police action against black Americans convinced the activists of their moral right. The war had to be fought 'in the belly of the motherland'.
