Bank to “Eco-Terrorists”: Don’t worry, we’ll take your money, too!

We’ve seen Adidas endorsing “eco-terrorism” in their ads. Now HSBC, one of the largest banks in the world, has an ad that’s an epic terrorist love story complete with tree sitters, folk music, and happy, apolitical ending. Here’s the summary: Cops are attacking environmental activists, pulling them from tree sits, using pain compliance holds, carting […]

FBI: “Eco-terrorists” Are Bigger Threat Than Osama bin Laden, Hate Crimes, and Attempts to Assassinate Obama

Come December 7, it will have been three years since the “Operation Backfire” arrests of Earth Liberation Front members, for a string of arsons and property crimes in the Northwest that caused upwards of $48 million in damages. Those defendants were hit with “terrorism enhancement” penalties for their crimes, which never harmed anyone, and are […]

Earth Liberation Front Press Office Returns, Issues Warning to Obama

I was outside the White House on election night, and I don’t know if I can accurately describe how surreal it felt. I left work at about two in the morning with a friend and we saw hundreds, if not thousands, of people moving down 16th Street to the White House. Along the way folks […]

“Animal Planet Collaborated with Eco-Terrorists”

So it hasn’t been verified, but it looks like Al Qaeda released another video today, attacking Barack Obama and warning of future terrorism and bloodshed.

Palin Says “I Don’t Know” If Anti-Abortion Murderers are Terrorists

First, an apology for being AWOL, and the lack of blog posts. This election–you might have heard of it, between Barack Obama and Emperor Palpatine?–is kicking my ass.

“Give Capitalism the Creeps” This Halloween?

You know what’s pretty creepy (besides the fact that so much of the country would actually put McCain/Palin at the helm of the U.S.S. Empire)?

Student Arrested As “Terrorist” For Writing About Zombies

I love Halloween. But nothing compares to the political horror show that is the “War on Terrorism”… A student in Kentucky has been arrested, faces felony charges, and has been labeled a “terrorist” for writing a short story about zombies. “My story is based on fiction,” said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening […]

Nuns Put on “Domestic Terrorist” List

Last week I wrote about how some Homeland Security officials don’t think Timothy McVeigh is a terrorist, but peace activists, animal rights activists, pro-choice activists and environmentalists are. You know who else are terrorists? Nuns! The Saginaw News reports that among the 53 non-violent activists labeled as “terrorists” in that Maryland operation are two Dominican […]

Local Sheriff Buys a Tank, Others Clamor to Fight “Domestic Terrorists”

In what I can only attribute to one-too-many viewings of Red Dawn, the Sheriff Leon Lott of Richland County, South Carolina bought his department a tank. Oh, excuse me, an “armored personnel carrier”… with a .50-cal turreted machine gun. For all you city slickers, .50-cal means f’n HUGE. From Reason: Sheriff Leon Lott has charmingly […]
