Did a 'Convicted Terrorist' Sit on the Board of a BLM Funding Body?

The past crimes of Susan Rosenberg reemerged in the summer of 2020, amid a new wave of protests over racial injustice and police brutality.

Claim: Susan Rosenberg is a convicted terrorist who has sat on the board of directors of Thousand Currents, an organization which handles fundraising for the Black Lives Matter Global Network.

What's True

Susan Rosenberg has served as vice chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and fiscal sponsorship for the Black Lives Matter Global Movement. She was an active member of revolutionary left-wing movements whose illegal activities included bombing U.S. government buildings and committing armed robberies.



What's Undetermined:
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."

.....

Earlier in her book, Rosenberg indicated that she was comfortable, at least at one point in time, with bombing government buildings: "We thought that by taking armed actions against government property (including bombing unoccupied government buildings), we would show that despite the power of the state, it was possible to oppose it."


She was pardoned by Bill Clinton on the behest of Jerry Nadler.

Can someone explain this?

Quote:

After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard,[4] although she was never charged in either case.

Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7]
She was on the board of a group that set up a bomb in the Capitol Building, was pardoned by Clinton in his last day in office, and now run finance for the BLM riots -- let's finally call them what they are.

Also, she was an accomplice in the prison escape of a cop killer!

Here's what WU did. Bill Ayers, who announced Barack Obamas presidential run at his house, was also in the same group.

So lefties -- can we bury the hatchet and agree that what happened last week should follow the same rule?:

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."

Or nah?

Convicted and imprisoned posession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives and being on the board of a known terrorist group -- NOT domestic terrorism.

Bad actors entering the Capitol, with no weapons, is insurrection, sedition, and treason?

Also the claim: Claim: Susan Rosenberg is a convicted terrorist who has sat on the board of directors of Thousand Currents, an organization which handles fundraising for the Black Lives Matter Global Network.

IS TRUE. EVERYTHING THEY SAID TO "DEBOONK" THE CLAIM INDICATED THAT THIS WAS NOT FALSE! They just gave people words to throw up to fight the narrative.

TLDR? Snopes lies and says "terrorism" can't be defined because no one can say with certainty that bombing federal buildings and robbing people at gunpoint are actually terrorism.

Oh that's good, every time I google Weather Underground to get to the best weather site on the internet, I get worried I'm putting myself on a list. Nice to know WU is now kosher with those in power (and I'll only be added to a list for posting on F16).
