The “Black Lives Matter” movement is partnered with the nonprofit group, Thousand Currents. This is important because the Vice-Chair of the Thousand Currents nonprofit is Susan Rosenberg, a convicted terrorist. Susan Rosenberg also sits on the board for the fundraising arm of Black Lives Matter. She was convicted for the 1983 bombing of the United States Capitol Building, the U.S. Naval War College and the New York Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association.
She was released from prison after serving 16 years of her 58-year prison sentence when Bill Clinton commuted her sentence on his last day in office.
Federal investigators raided a Cherry Hill, New Jersey, storage unit where Rosenberg’s “combat materials” were held.
Rosenberg and an accomplice, Tim Blunk, were hauled off to the local police station as the feds delicately dismantled their arsenal and ferried it in small batches across the Delaware River to a bomb-disposal unit in Philadelphia.
The raid marked the beginning of the end of the May 19th Communist Organization, the nation’s only woman-run terror group, William Rosenau recounts in “Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol” (Atria).
M19’s core of five women and two men fought against the Ronald Reagan campaign with a series of seven explosions that they intended to be “percussive wake-up calls” for the nation.
On Nov. 7, 1983, M19 members stashed a Puma-branded duffel bag under a bench just outside the Senate chamber. The blast created a 15-foot crater in a brick wall of the Senate, shattered chandeliers and shredded a portrait of 19th-century Sen. John C. Calhoun.
Has anyone ever looked at a picture of John C. Calhoun?
What a hard-looking dude he was.
A picture of him won’t be missed, not to say I in any way approve of the method in which it was eliminated.
Talk about the Cancel Culture, alright – there is as good a case of it as any.
To us older folks, Calhoun is remembered for strongly defending slavery and for advancing the concept of minority states’ rights in politics.
In the late 1820s, he became a leading proponent of states’ rights, limited government, nullification, and opposition to high tariffs, seeing Northern acceptance of those policies as a condition of the South remaining in the Union.
Calhoun’s beliefs and warnings heavily influenced the South’s secession from the Union in 1860–1861.
His wife Floride was involved in the infamous “Petticoat Affair,” a U.S. scandal involving members of President Andrew Jackson’s Cabinet and their wives, from 1829 to 1831.
Led by Floride Calhoun, dubbed the “Petticoats,” socially ostracized then–Secretary of War John Eaton and his wife Peggy Eaton, over disapproval of the circumstances surrounding the Eatons’ marriage; what they deemed as her failure to meet the “moral standards of a Cabinet Wife”.
The Petticoat Affair rattled the entire Jackson Administration, and eventually led to the resignation of all but one Cabinet member.
The ordeal facilitated Martin Van Buren’s rise to the presidency, and was in part responsible for Vice President Calhoun’s transformation from a nationwide political figure with Presidential aspirations into a sectional leader of the Southern states.
In regard to the Petticoat affair, President Jackson later remarked, “I [would] rather have live vermin on my back than the tongue of one of these Washington women on my reputation.”
To Jackson, Peggy Eaton was just another of many wronged women whom over his lifetime he had known and defended.
He believed that every woman he had defended in his life, including her, had been the victim of ulterior motives, so that political enemies could bring him down.
According to historian Daniel Walker Howe, the episode influenced the emergence of feminism.
The Cabinet wives insisted that the interests and honor of all women were at stake.
They believed a responsible woman should never accord a man sexual favors without the assurance that went with marriage.
A woman who broke that code was dishonorable and unacceptable.
Howe notes that this was the feminist spirit that in the next decade shaped the woman’s rights movement.
So one can see how that would piss off Bill “Bubba” Clinton, who seemed to have a thing for “easy” women, which is probably why he commuted her sentence.
And am I surprised that somebody who not only knows about making bombs, but has used them for “political purposes” such as blowing up a picture of John Calhoun for his involvement with slavery is tied up with the BLACK LIVES MATTER crowd?
Not hardly.
I cannot possibly understand how William Jefferson Clinton could commute her sentence. Must have something to do with the famous swamp he hid so well in. I also cannot possibly understand how folks believing in, or following this organization do not understand that there is an awful lot of evil and anti American sentiment running this group. That combination, in itself for sure makes me believe they are pro nothing but a very negative and harmful agenda. The name they chose for their organization is a racist marketing plan that shrouds the truth of their agenda, and shows them to be some of the worst the swamp can hide.
