American eco-terrorists declare war

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


As war unfolds, Iraqi sleeper cells and al Qaeda operatives aren't the only threats we face on the domestic front. Homegrown environmental radicals cast their own fatwah on America this week. And they're not just talking about lighting tea candles while they sing Bob Dylan tunes in their Birkenstocks.

These anarchist menaces are deadly serious about undermining national security through physical and economic harm.

In a manifesto published this week across left-wing Internet sites, infamous eco-thug Craig Rosebraugh called on his antiwar troops to take "direct actions" against American military establishments, urban centers, corporations, government buildings and media outlets.

This is not an idle threat. Rosebraugh is former spokesman for the Earth Liberation Front, a violent guerrilla group. Along with its militant ally, the Animal Liberation Front, ELF has claimed responsibility for a long string of arsons and vandalism, causing tens of millions of dollars worth of destruction, involving: crop experiments and test fields at university research centers in the Midwest; fur farms in the Pacific Northwest; meat vendors in the San Francisco Bay area; and department stores on the East Coast. ELF also takes credit for arsons at a ski resort in Vail, Colo., inspiring four teens to torch housing developments in Long Island, and recently, fire-bombing sport utility vehicles at an auto dealership outside Erie, Pa.

Fed up with pansy peace march efforts, Rosebraugh is urging radicals to ditch "pointless" protests and wage outright acts of terror "using any means necessary." Already, in cities from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco, antiwar obstructionists have disrupted traffic and commerce, tying up precious law enforcement resources.

I am reprinting much of Rosebraugh's rallying cry to his America-hating leftists so you know exactly what we are up against:

1) Attack the financial centers of the country. Using covert or black block techniques . . . physically shut down financial centers which regulate and assist the functioning of U.S. economy. This can be done in a variety of ways from massive property destruction, to online sabotage, to physical occupation of buildings.

2) Large scale urban rioting. With massive unrest and even state of emergencies declared in major cities across the country, 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. Continued...
