Is It AR "Domestic Terrorism"? Did He Say The HSUS Is A Terrorist Group?
 
..........Not only do the ALF and ELF fall under the definition of "domestic terrorism," but also groups like PETA. For "harboring," "concealing", "aiding," or "lending material support to" "terrorists" is punishable under the Patriot Act. PETA has given money to well-known animal rights "terrorists" such as Rod Coronado, Gary Yourofsky, and Josh Harper, and in Ashcroft's world this makes PETA aides and abettors of terror. Indeed, right wing industry organizations like the Center For Consumer Freedom are denouncing even the Humane Society of the United States as a terrorist group for allegedly funding an Internet service used by the ALF and hiring "ALF-affiliated criminal" J.P. Goodwin in 2001...........
 

 
SPECIAL REPORT: Eco-Terror Leader Declares War On America

Craig Rosebraugh, the enigmatic environmental anarchist whose tenure as the public face of the terrorist Earth Liberation Front (ELF) was marked by millions of dollars in violent property destruction, a sizable financial gift from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and a penchant for hiding behind the Fifth Amendment, has declared war on America.

Fresh from his appearance at Cal State Fresno's "Revolutionary Environmentalism" conference, Rosebraugh has penned a manifesto calling for anti-war protesters to carry out "direct actions" against the American government, military installations, multinational corporations, financial institutions, urban centers, and broadcast television networks.

Like the ELF, Rosebraugh has no use for peaceful protests, calling them "pointless, and perhaps even counterproductive." Instead, he prefers an activist plan that, quite literally, terrorizes America into withdrawing troops from the Persian Gulf.

"An atmosphere of severe unrest," Rosebraugh wrote on Monday, "if manufactured properly, will force the U.S. government to place military resources in the streets of the United States, will threaten the economy... and ultimately create a political atmosphere unfavorable for Bush to continue on with the war."

How to manufacture this sort of atmosphere? Rosebraugh articulates the following seven-point plan (in his own words) for would-be members of his hate-America terrorist brigade:

  1. "Attack the financial centers of the country... physically shut down financial centers which regulate and assist the functioning of [the] U.S. economy."

  2. "Large scale urban rioting [so that] the U.S. government will be forced to send U.S. troops into the domestic arena thereby taking resources and political focus away from the war... Rioting should be focused on governmental agencies and corporations."

  3. "Attack the media centers of the country... Using any means necessary, shut down the national networks of NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc. Not just occupations but actually engage in strategies and tactics which knock the networks off the air." (emphasis added)

  4. "Spread the battle to the... very heads of government and U.S. corporations... Hit them in their personal lives, visit their homes."

  5. "Make it known publicly that this movement DOES NOT support U.S. troops... Create an atmosphere lacking of support to assist U.S. troops at home and abroad in losing their morale and will to fight."

  6. "Actively target U.S. military establishments within the United States... use any means necessary to slow down the functioning of the [U.S. military]." (emphasis added)

  7. "[S]trike hard and fast and retreat in anonymity. Select another location, strike again hard and fast and quickly retreat in anonymity... Do not get caught. DO NOT GET CAUGHT. Do not get sent to jail. Stay alert, keep active, and keep fighting."

Rosebraugh implies over and over that the anti-war movement simply hasn't gone far enough. He clearly wants to take the ELF's terror tactics -- honed during attacks on logging companies, new home builders, and the Vail ski lodge -- and direct them at the federal government itself.

Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge said yesterday that intelligence on homegrown terror groups influenced his decision to raise America to the "code orange" alert level on Monday. "[R]egional extremist organizations and ad hoc groups or disgruntled individuals may use this time period to conduct terrorist attacks against the United States," he told reporters during a Tuesday press conference.

In a poignant Washington Times book review of a Unabomber biography, Fresno State University's Bruce Thorton argued on Sunday that we may one day fall prey to "a homegrown terrorism driven by debased myths and shop-worn ideas."

"The war against terrorism," Thornton added, "has more fronts than we think."

Action Alert
March 19, 2003

Tell the USDA to Stop Reimbursing Cockfighters with U.S. Tax Dollars "The compensation amounts are a 'very private and personal thing'
between bird owners and the government, said Adrian Woodfork, a spokesman for the combined state and federal Exotic Newcastle Disease Task Force." - The Californian, 3/15/03

Although cockfighting is a crime in California and 47 other states, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and California Department of Food and Agriculture are using tax dollars to indemnify cockfighters who kill "game" birds suspected of exotic Newcastle disease (END), an infectious avian virus being fought with gross inhumaneness at taxpayers' expense to protect the poultry and egg industry. Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, government officials told The Californian (Bakersfield, CA, 3/15) that bird owners get between $5 and $1,850 per bird but "refuse to explain how they calculate the compensation and who has received how much for their birds."

It's been reported that $2 - $5 tax-dollars per bird is the "fair market value" being given to owners of hen flocks being destroyed under
California's END eradication program, whereas $1,000 to $2,000 is the "fair market value" being given to owners of birds bred and used for cockfighting, "an illegal sport suspected of contributing to the rapid spread in Southern California, Arizona and Nevada of the highly
contagious virus" (Californian, 3/15).

Urge U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman to stop reimbursing cockfighters ("game fowl breeders") with taxpayers' money, and to
endorse the Ensign-Allard-Cantwell (Senate) and Bartlett-Andrews (House) legislation that increases interstate commerce in birds intended for cockfighting to a felony offence.

Just How Far Will The AR Go?
Is It END To Stop The Gamefowl Industry And Arson To Stop The Meat Industry?
 
........The first fire, in Redmond, OR, was found to be arson and attributed to the Animal Liberation Front (ALF)......
 
----- Original Message -----
Subject: Tomorrow's HB 1324 Hearing Rescheduled
 
ATTENTION!!

The Agriculture & Livestock Committee Hearing that was to be held tomorrow morning (March 20) regarding HB 1324 has been rescheduled!

The new time is:
Next Tuesday, March 25th
At 8:00 AM (Sharp, earlier to sign in!)
Place:  E1.026   (NOTE:  new location)

The animal rights activists are attempting to shut down the only two horse slaughter plants remaining in the US.  This legislation will allow the plants to continue to operate but not sell horsemeat for human consumption in the US.

Two other US plants have burned down since 1997.  The first fire, in Redmond, OR, was found to be arson and attributed to the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the cause of the second blaze in Dekalb, Ill, was undetermined.

Texas Animal Interest Network wholeheartedly supports education and assistance for horse owners in addition to the dedicated efforts of horse rescue groups, but feels closing these two plants down would be comparable to closing down all of the animal control facilities in the US.  Where will all the unwanted horses go?

Horse owners should have the option of free humane euthanasia and disposal - or horse rescue farms, or retirement farms for unwanted horses. We wish it were a perfect world, but it isn't and we must face reality and consider the animal's welfare.

This legislation and the continuing operation of the two horse slaughter plants will NOT in any way interfere with the existing efforts made by those engaged in rescuing horses at auctions from being slaughtered. 

But it will stop the animal rights activists who want to end the consumption of all meat, not just horse meat in the US.  TAIN believes in the right to choose whether we eat meat or don't eat meat. The animal rights movement doesn't.

Anyone who can attend this hearing, please contact 
Heather Jinkins in Representative Betty Brown's office.

Thanks for caring, MB
