For everyone listening to the hyperbole about those gatecrashers at the Capitol being called terrorists and 'insurrectionists' by Democrats. Corporations punishing them, banning them for whatever they can, even if they had just attended the rally.

Let's not forget tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands attended....yet they all appear to be labelled the same.

Well, lets look at how the Democrats think about actual terrorists....but ones they like.

Back in the eighties...1983 to be exact the Capitol building was bombed by group called the 'resistance conspiracy' which was a far left terrorist group that contained a certain individual called Susan Rosenberg.

Over the course of 83/84 apart from the capitol building her group also bombed an FBI office, the Israel Aircraft Industries building, and the South African consulate in New York. They bombed Washington's Fort McNair and Navy Yard (which they hit twice.)

The capitol building bomb caused a 0,000 worth of damage, which was equivalent to 0,000 in 2019.

When she was arrested she had a large cache of explosives and firearms. On March 1985 she was given a 58-year-sentence.

After 16 years her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, which was his final day in office.

Today, Rosenberg sits as the vice-chair of the board of directors of Thousand Currents. This group provides the legal and administrative framework for BLM.

She also travels to universities and gives speeches about her life and politics.

This women was an actual terrorist who bombed the building they are screaming about now.

And the Democrats love her.

Pretty interesting. Does seem like pardons etc. are just dished out like confetti regardless of crime and usually for an advantage... but interested to know what the advantage was for Clinton if he was leaving office? Probably some sort of campaign. I mean, if she was genuinely rehabilitated, fine, but otherwise it's a bit dodgy.

I wonder if they'd actually gone through with some of their alleged thoughts about assassinations etc. she'd have been released. Looking into that time period and before that what's happening now is childsplay really. Bombs all over the shop.

I found this interesting from William Rosenau

'Systemic terrorism has been a deep, deep part of our history. After the Civil War, it's not just the Ku Klux Klan, but outright insurgency against Republicans in Southern states by white militias and white supremacists. One of the things I'm trying to bring forth in the book is this notion, to quote [Black nationalist leader H. Rap Brown], "Violence is as American as cherry pie." Terrorism is not an exception, a one-off, a random thing. It is deeply ingrained in our politics and society and history.'

In any case I wasn't really looking to get drawn in. I was making a couple of specific points pertinent to these discussions and happenings, and had covered other aspects previously. I'll leave others to it as I appear to have stumbled into bad mood city .

I'll pop back on the 20th!

Trumpy is now rumoured to be edited out of one of the Home Alone films.

Reminds me of something people who lived in Communist countries would say.

"The future is set, but the past is forever changing."

Yeah funny how when the crash happened the politicians forgot about that. I mean who would have guess forcing banks to give loans and mortgages to poor people would result in loan defaults.
