Armed Resistance Conspiracy
Jan 16, 2021 15:37:46 #
In 1978, a small group of young women led by Susan Rosenburg broke off from male-centered revolutionary organizations (Weather Underground) and formed their own; a hard-Left circle they called M19.
Between 1983 and 1985, M19, calling themselves the "Armed Resistance Unit", bombed the U.S. Capitol building, the National War College at Fort McNair, the Washington Navy Yard Computer Center, the Washington Navy Yard Officers Club, the Staten Island Federal Building, the Israeli Aircraft Industries Building, the South African consulate, and the offices of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association.
During a five year investigation, Federal agents arrested Marilyn Jean Buck, Linda Sue Evans, Susan Rosenberg, Timothy Blunk, Alan Berkman, Laura Whitehorn, and Elizabeth Ann Duke. Some but not all of those convicted were members of the May 19 Communist Organization, also known as the May 19th Coalition and the May 19 Communist Movement, a self-described revolutionary organization formed in part by splintered-off members of the Weather Underground. They were dedicated to ending racism, sexism, and the imperialist policies of Ronald Reagan.
(As you recall, in the early 1970s, the Weather Underground, led by Bill Ayers, Obama's political enabler, was responsible for multiple bombings, including the Capitol building and the Pentagon.)
NY Daily News, January 4, 2020:
In 1979, the Armed Resistance Unit (M19) smuggled pistols and dynamite into the Clinton Correctional Facility in New Jersey and broke out Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur, better known as JoAnne Chesimard. The convicted killer of a New Jersey state trooper, she found refuge in Cuba.”
“That same year, the group helped William Morales slip out of Bellevue Hospital. Suspected of making the FALN bomb that killed four at Fraunces Tavern in 1975, he lost both hands in an explosives accident. He was smuggled to Cuba, too.”
“Then, in 1981, working with the BLA, M19 robbed an armored truck in Nyack, and got away with $1.6 million. They also left a Brinks guard and two local police officers dead.”
“Under increased surveillance, the group switched their methods, concentrating on bombings."
The Smithsonian Magazine describes the Senate bombing:
“Just before 11 p.m. on November 7, 1983, M19 called the U.S. Capitol switchboard and warned them to evacuate the building. Ten minutes later, a bomb detonated in the building’s north wing, harming no one but blasting a 15-foot gash in a wall and causing $1 million in damage.”
The US Senate archive of history
“The Senate had planned to work late into the evening of Monday, November 7, 1983. Deliberations proceeded more smoothly than expected, however, so the body adjourned at 7:02 p.m. A crowded reception, held near the Senate Chamber, broke up two hours later. Consequently, at 10:58 p.m., when a thunderous explosion tore through the second floor of the Capitol’s north wing, the adjacent halls were virtually deserted. Many lives had been spared.”
“The force of the device, hidden under a bench at the eastern end of the corridor outside the chamber, blew off the door to the office of Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd. The blast also punched a potentially lethal hole in a wall partition sending a shower of pulverized brick, plaster, and glass into the Republican cloakroom. Although the explosion caused no structural damage to the Capitol, it shattered mirrors, chandeliers, and furniture. Officials calculated damages of $250,000.”
“A stately portrait of Daniel Webster, located across from the concealed bomb, received the explosion’s full force. The blast tore away Webster’s face and left it scattered across the Minton tiles in one-inch canvas shards.”
Eventually, the M19 women were busted by local police, who discovered their storage locker in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
NY Daily News:
“Inside the unit, the police found sawed-off shotguns, an Uzi, a .357 Magnum, hundreds of rounds of ammo, and more than 10,000 blank Social Security cards. They also discovered over 700 pounds of poorly stored dynamite, some of it leaking crystalized nitroglycerin.”
“Upon the insistance of Representative Jerry Nadler, Susan Rosenberg, sentenced to 58 years on explosives charges, was pardoned by President Bill Clinton on his last day in office.
M19 member Judith Clark, convicted of murder in the Brinks case, had her sentence commuted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo…”
Susan Rosenberg resurfaced last year as a board member for a leftist group raising funds for the Black Lives Matter Global Network.

I sincerely hope this is not an attempt to mitigate the assault on the Capitol by extremist Trump supporters. This story only reinforces the reality that there is very little daylight between far left and far right. Both groups are a threat to a stable democracy and need to be held to account for acting out their warped delusions about terror as a blunt political instrument. A Capitol Policeman reported being attacked by a man foaming at the mouth. This is not how democracy is supposed to work and there will be consequences.

The assault was planned.
In December, when January 6th became a big issue and LE was concerned, the Chief of the Capitol Police notified the Sergeant-at-Arms of both houses of Congress that, based on FBI intel, he did not have the manpower to defend all government buildings and requested deployment of National Guard troops. Both McConnell and Pelosi turned him down.
The assault on the Capitol building began BEFORE president Trump had finished his speech one and a half miles away.
Before I jump to conclusions, I'd like to know just who the hell all of those rioters really are.
