Susan Rosenberg’s terrorist life is well documented. At two minutes before 11 o’clock in the evening on this day in 1983, a thunderous explosion tore through the second floor of the U.S. Capitol’s Senate wing. After a five-year investigation, in May 1988 FBI agents arrested seven members of the “Resistance Conspiracy”: Marilyn Jean Buck, Linda Sue Evans, Susan Rosenberg, Timothy Blunk, Alan Berkman, Laura Whitehorn and Elizabeth Ann Duke. They were charged with executing the Capitol bombing as well as triggering similar blasts at Fort McNair and the Washington Navy Yard.

Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born October 5, 1955) is an American activist, writer, advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights and a former terrorist. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO") which, according to an FBI report, "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence". M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings. After the 1983 Capitol Hill Bombing and living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 with a companion in New Jersey in 1984 unloading 740 pounds of dynamite and weapons, including a submachine gun, from a car She admitted her role in the New Jersey case, in which she had planned to supply others with explosives for politically motivated bombings. At the time of her arrest, she was wanted on charges related to the 1981 armed robbery of a Brink's armored car in Nanuet, N.Y., a holdup that was supposed to raise money for the Weather Underground and other radical groups that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard. Rosenberg’s accomplice in the Brink’s robbery Judy Clark received three consecutive 25-years-to-life sentences. In 2016, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo partially commuted her sentence. Rosenberg had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur . Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. Ms. Rosenberg denied any involvement in the Brink's robbery and was never tried on those charges because Mr. Rudi Giuliani, then the United States attorney in Manhattan, indicated that given her 58-year sentence on the New Jersey weapons charges, there was no need to proceed with that case. She only spent 16 years in prison until her sentence was commuted to time served by Democrat President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, his final day in office.

When Mr. Rudi Giuliani was asked if he regretted not prosecuting Ms. Rosenberg on the Brink's charges he said. ''She was convicted of having in her possession 740 pounds of explosives, a submachine gun, weapons,'' the mayor said. ''She admitted she had these weapons to give to someone to use in a bombing, and she had been involved in a significant number of robberies, bank robberies.'' - New York Times, January 22nd 2001

SNOPES: Did a ‘Convicted Terrorist’ Sit on the Board of a BLM Funding Body?

Snopes has ‘fact checked’ this claim and it’s findings claim ‘mixture’. Or FALSE if you are looking to confirm your bias. Susan Rosenberg is a convicted terrorist who does sit on the board of directors of Thousand Currents, the organization which handles fundraising for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) Global Network. Let’s have a look at Snope’s reason for claiming this false.

Snopes relies on semantics, quote:

In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

Snopes, as do all fact checkers, often rely on self-adjustment of the narrative, quote or source material just enough to skew perception and to fundamentally prevent any further questions being asked. This skew in perception/narrative is just enough to trigger a confirmation biased response in the user. ‘User’ because of its drug-like addiction and the user’s utter reliance and dependancy on the fix of “correct truth” in lieu of logic-based reality. Attach a weaponised word to the fact check (‘Far Right’ ‘Racist’ ‘White Supremacist’) and bingo! Silence the majority. Break rank and you are deemed ‘the enemy of good’. How many times have you seen an ‘unbiased’ mainstream report start with the words “Far Right conspiracy theorists says….” or “Far Right White Supremacist did…..”. This wording anywhere is weaponised propaganda.

Susan Rosenberg the activist bombed Capitol Hill. Rudi Guilliani prosecuted her, Bill Clinton pardoned her, BLM employed her. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the activist stormed Capitol Hill. 54 arrests. Pelosi congratulates her, the Democrats employ her. Why?
