Mark Rudd Repents Army Targeted Bombs - Now Supports Peaceful Destruction of the Military

Mark Rudd is a former leader of the terrorist Weather Underground in which he worked closely with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn.

In a recent Washington Post commentary on the Arizona killings, Mark Rudd admits he was complicit in the planned bombing of an NCO's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey in 1970 - an act that if it had succeeded may have killed many young soldiers and their dates.

The key phrase here is "righteous action still". Mark Rudd still believes that revolution is still right, but that violence (at the wrong time) is counterproductive.

In 2006-2008 Mark Rudd was a leader of the Movement for a Democratic Society, a new network originally formed to support a modern version of the S.D.S.

Working with Rudd in M.D.S. were his old Weatherman pals Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Jeff Jones, as well as a whole bunch of marxists from Democratic Socialists of America, Communist Party USA and Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.

In 2008, three M.D.S. board members, Tom Hayden, Barbara Ehrenreich and Bill Fletcher, Jr. went to found a new organization Progressives for Obama - which Mark Rudd endorsed.

Rudd saw in Obama, as did his friends Ayers, Dohrn and Jones, a new vehicle for the revolution. A revolution that could do with stealth and sweet words what they had failed to accomplish with riots and bombs.

In a November 2008 letter to the radical Rag Blog, November 27, 2008 Rudd revealed the revolutionary end game - the consolidation of power, to the point that stealth socialists could begin to dismantle the number one block to world revolution - the U.S. military.

Obama is a very strategic thinker. He knew precisely what it would take to get elected and didn't blow it...But he also knew that what he said had to basically play to the center to not be run over by the press, the Republicans, scare centrist and cross-over voters away. He made it.

So he has a narrow mandate for change, without any direction specified. What he's doing now is moving on the most popular issues -- the environment, health care, and the economy. He'll be progressive on the environment because that has broad popular support; health care will be extended to children, then made universal, but the medical, pharmaceutical, and insurance corporations will stay in place...the economic agenda will stress stimulation from the bottom sometimes and handouts to the top at other times. It will be pragmatic...On foreign policy and the wars and the use of the military there will be no change at all. That's what keeping Gates at the Pentagon and Clinton at State and not prosecuting the torturers is saying.

A young Mark Rudd visited Cuba for four weeks in 1968.

According to Rudd's own website;

According to the F.B.I. Mark Rudd's trip to Cuba also involved training in camps set up by Soviet K.G.B. Colonel Vadim Kotchergine.

Mark Rudd, was at that time, part of an international movement, dedicated to the victory of communist forces over the United States of America. There is no evidence that Rudd has ever wavered from that goal.

Now, in the third year of recession, we have peace marchers in the streets demanding cuts in military spending, in order to maintain social spending. The U.S. has a president in the White House happy to negotiate nuclear deals with Moscow, that put the Russians at a big advantage.

Is this all coincidence, or is Mark Rudd, a small part of a plan, that was hatched many years ago, in Moscow and Havana?
