Next On The White Power Chopping Block – No, Not Him – Robert Rundo

Robert Rundo as he is detained

Yeah, we will have stuff on Trump’s indictment soon enough, but for now let us keep it going with this news!

Robert Rundo, the co-founder of the neo-fascist terrorist group Rise Above Movement, was arrested on Friday at a Bucharest, Romania gym and is slated for extradition back to the United States to face federal rioting charges.

According to news reports, Rundo, 33, was arrested at the gym on Tuesday following a tip off to police who were responding to a request by American authorities for provisional arrest in order to extradite Rundo. In the request it was noted that between December 2016 and October 2018, in California and in other parts of the USA, Rundo allegedly conspired with other people to go to political rallies and use fighting tactics and physical violence against people and groups that did not support their ideology. A Romanian judge signed off on the extradition on March 30.

Rundo had been indicted by a US court in 2018, but the case was dismissed in 2019. After that dismissal he reportedly was living under an assumed identity in Romania, although some believed he was in the United States in 2021 attending the American Renaissance conference in Tennessee. A Los Angeles federal grand jury issued a new indictment in January.

Over the past few years Rundo has organized fight clubs such as Will2Rise as well as a media outlet called Media 2 Rise (M2R) who in addition to himself includes longtime neo-fascist activist Alan Goff, who goes by the name “Lucca Corgiat” in M2R productions and Graham Whitson, a member of the neo-fascist group Patriot Front and one of its 33 members who attempted to crash and allegedly incite a riot at a Pride event last June in Idaho before they were stopped by police. In a statement found on Telegram and signed by Goff and Will2Rise associate Grady Joseph Mayfield who goes by the name “Luke Mayfield”, they say they will try to continue their operations while Rundo faces his criminal charges. “There is no certainty of what will happen in Rundo’s case moving forward but we are certain that this obstacle will not halt our mission and goals,” the statement read.

Rundo is currently in the custody of the General Directorate of Police of the Municipality of Bucharest.
