"This could be an important link to the Kerry campaign. We should play up the ties between MoveOn/the Lawyers Guild/ the Kerry campaign and maybe Michael Moore. Oh, I forgot the Communist Party."

I agree. Exposure of their connections before the event might help LEO and enough publicity may diminish their activity. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that MM is 'set up' to do a film about this. His activities in the area would bear watching. (It would also not surprise me if, since their plans have been publicized, they staged a little something at the dem convention.)

I don't know how many of these links still work....they seem to disappear as they get attention. They are all connected.

Craig Rosebraugh and Leslie James Pickering - Founders Arissa- former ELF media spokesmen

Two former spokesmen for the radical Earth Liberation Front said Monday they are giving that up to form what they say is a "new revolutionary organization" called Arissa.

About Arissa - Excerpts: The primary goal of Arissa is to create a political and social revolution in the United States of America. We believe that none of the single-issue problems - whether in the human, environmental, or animal categories - can be resolved until a political structure is put into place to allow for an atmosphere of change. Arissa will have reached its goal when that revolution occurs.
Our Arissa Media Services Department was formed in late 2003 to provide necessary media relations for those conducting revolutionary actions in the United States.

Thanks for the ping! On the NLG and Kerry, one thing I will be mentioning in a forthcoming article is that when Kerry joined the VVAW he was working for the campaign of Robert Drinan, who was who was the NLG national vice president in 1968:

The War Called Peace: The Soviet Peace Offensive:

Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy (LCNP)-777 U.N. Plaza, Fifth Floor, New York, N.Y. 10017 [212/ 887-8962], appeared late in 1981 circulating a "Statement on the Illegality of Nuclear Weapons" which has no condemnation or even mention of Soviet nuclear weapons and targeting policy, but which is aimed specifically at the United States. LCNP's positions closely parallel those of the Soviet "peace" fronts. LCNP's officers and initial members of its consultative council include a number of activists from the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), the U.S. section of the Soviet-controlled International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL). . .Secretary and executive director is Elliott L. Meyrolwitz and LCNP's treasurer is Robert L. Boehm, CCR's chairperson. The consultative council is listed as including Richard Barnet, IPS and formerly active with the Lawyers Committee on U.S. Policy toward Vietnam (LCUSPV) which was founded by activists with the IADL, NLG, and National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (NECLC), a CPUSA legal action and propaganda front; Ian Brownlie, Oxford University; Francis A. Boyle, University of Illinois; Anthony A. D'Amato, Northwestern University; Robert F. Drinan, Georgetown University and 1968 NLG national vice president. . .
