Thanks for the link to the Ruckus website. Most involved come from the radical ultra left groups.

This is the bio of their Director. It says he was 'removed from Canada'. Any idea what that means? Was he 'exiled' from Canada?




The Ruckus Society depends on talented, committed people to volunteer their time to train other people to be effective nonviolent activists and organizers. The office staff is based in Oakland, California.


John Sellers
Director
John provides political vision and teaches a variety of Ruckus' workshops. However, he is most comfortable in creative confrontations with "the Man" during nonviolent direct actions. He worked with Greenpeace for six years during the nineties, coordinating dozens of actions throughout the US. In 1995 he sailed with the SV Rainbow Warrior in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean to halt drift net fishing. In the last six years he has travelled extensively throughout North America coordinating direct actions for Rainforest Action Network, Earth First!, Project Underground, International Campaign for Tibet, Global Exchange, The United Steel Workers of America and many others. In June of 2000 he was permanently removed from Canada (his favorite country in North America).

What he does for Ruckus: Strategic planning, fundraising, management, training and special projects.

If they decoy a bomb sniffing dog from it's actual purpose .... this is terrorism designed to allow the true or real bomb to go unnoticed.

Thus this is murderous terrorism. This group is advocating murder of American citizens. I think it would be ok to shoot these people on sight.

In fact I advocate shooting anarchists by any true citizen. Sounds like fun actually.

I only hope one thing happens to these people .. their lunacy backfires in their face.

I think it's time for some action above and beyond keyboard pounding. Foreign born terrorists are one thing but these punks are homegrown and easy to spot. At the very least we should be out there with our video cameras.

Thanks for posting this website; my!my! I imagine this site and some of its links are watched (I HOPE they are, anyway) by Homeland Security. For instance:


http://www.videoactivism.org/ (The Video Activist Network)

"Civil Disobedience
There will be times when people involved in direct action will be planning on getting arrested. In these situations it may be very helpful to interview them before the arrest and on-site in order to document their reasons for breaking the law. If they will be using a "Necessity Defense" in court (i.e. they had to commit this small crime in order to prevent a larger one), then establishing evidence of their intent will be valuable. Ask them who they are, what the date is, what they are doing here, how important are the issues to them, and what extreme conditions and frustrated attempts to work within the system (if any) have led them to this point in their campaign. Focus on what they perceive to be the larger issues involved. Try to put these interviews on a separate tape in case the whole tape is subpoenaed."

Exactly my thoughts - this will never be in the lamestream media. Tereza, show us your tax records so we can learn how much you are slipping to the dems and theri surrogates thereby financing your husband's campaign ilegally.

So, they want to tie law enforcement up so that it will make it even more difficult to keep an eye out for terrorists. And, they have the nerve to whine about people questioning their patriotism.

Anyone who would keep a dead husband's name WHILE being married to husband #2 has problems. As does the less-than-manly spouse who lets her do so.

It's not 'her' fortune. It's from that dead first husband and his family who did the work earning it.
