Terrorism Scare Mongering

Tofu Makes You Gay and Charlotte’s Web is Animal Rights Extremism

I’m truly speechless on this one, so I’ll let the article in World Net Daily speak for itself: There’s a slow poison out there that’s severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it’s a “health food,” one of our most popular. The dangerous food I’m speaking of […]

But a recent screening in the UK prompted a councillor to say the event may be a “criminal offense.” According to Leamington Spa Today, the local paper: …Coun Roger Copping (Lib Dem, Leamington Manor) said: […]

Hollywood Eco-terrorists Support Right to Arm Bears

Those eco-terrorists in Hollywood are incorrigible. You’d think they’d have learned their lesson after being slammed for Hoot, which was nothing more than soft-core eco-terrorism for kids. But no, they’re back at it again, this time with Open Season, an animated anti-hunting terrorist communiqué. Those militants Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence star in a film […]

Seeing the Green Scare as a Cultural or Religious War

There’s an article floating around by Alex Epstein of the Ayn Rand Institute (Ugh, I know, but stay with me here) that reveals a lot about the goals of the New McCarthyists in this Green Scare: Animal rights terrorists are often cast as “extremists” who take “too far” the allegedly benevolent cause of animal rights.

Activist Charged With Making “Terroristic Threats”

I was reading this article about the sentencing of New Jersey activists who had protested the state’s weeklong bear hunt in December, 2005. Hunters shot nearly 300 bears. The activists were arrested for disrupting the hunt, appealed, and they lost they appeal. What I had never noticed, though, is that one of the activists had […]

Industry Groups Plan “Eco-terror” Training Program

Business groups in Ohio are organizing a two-day course on managing “Activist/Terrorist Threats.” It’s a fine line between activism and terrorism in this political climate — apparently only the width of a forward slash. Check out the scare-mongering for yourself: To help farmers and agribusinesses become more aware of the threats from activists and international […]

A Note to the Mainstream Press Covering “Eco-terrorism”

Many activists I talk with constantly bash “the media,” as if news operations are one gelatinous mass of reporters sharing a brain, hive-style. Contemporary journalism is in a pretty sorry state, I completely agree: more and more news outlets are owned by fewer and fewer corporations, that in turn own other corporations. The emphasis is […]

CIA Closes bin Laden Unit, But “Eco-terrorism” Still a Top Priority

Remember Osama bin Laden? You know, September 11, planes into buildings, thousands of people murdered? The one President Bush called the architect of 9/11, the symbol of international terrorism, who will be brought to justice “dead or alive”? Well, the CIA has shut down the unit tracking him.

Animal Testing Groups Play Dumb About Big Money Ad Campaign

The same ad that “mysteriously” appeared in The New York Times earlier this month also ran in The Washington Post this week. Clearly these folks have big money and they’re not afraid to toss it around. I wasn’t shocked to see another ad in one of the top five newspapers in the country, and won’t […]
