Local Joint Terrorist Task Force investigators are keeping close tabs on a group of anarchists hellbent on creating a classless society - using armed resistance if necessary, the Herald has learned.
Anarchist Black Cross Federation, an organization that FBI Director Robert S. Mueller calls an ``emerging revolutionary group,'' has active members in Boston who have distributed fliers against the war in Iraq, including one that reads: ``Synchronized bombing is a lie. But we can be more precise.''
The flier, released by Anarchist Black Cross Boston, goes on to list the address of Boston Police Headquarters in Roxbury, FBI headquarters in Government Center, the IRS building and a military recruiting center on Summer Street.
There is also a list of corporate sites, including Fidelity, the Gap, Niketown, and Raytheon's Waltham location.
``We are aware of this group, and the flier. The potential victims were notified,'' said FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcienkiewicz.
The group first garnered police attention last summer as Boston police prepared for the Democratic National Convention, said police department spokesman Sgt. Tom Sexton.
``They showed up on the radar shortly before the DNC. It's not a new group to us,'' Sexton said.
``Investigators have been aware of this particular group, and we are working collectively with our partnership on the state and federal level,'' he added.
Anarchist Black Cross has a Web site that lists monthly meetings at a Cambridge apartment, and urges support at court appearances for people it calls ``comrades,'' including Dominic Giannone, 29, a union boilermaker from Quincy who was arrested during the DNC for assaulting Boston police Superintendent Robert Dunford.
``Boston ABC supports all the protestors who took to the streets during the DNC,'' John Riley, an ABC member, wrote in an e-mail responding to a request for an interview, adding that the group opposes ``unprovoked violence.''
On Feb. 16, Mueller addressed the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the ``potential for violence'' by ABCF and other domestic militant groups.
``The stated goals of the ABCF are the abolishment of prisons, the system of laws, and the capitalist state,'' Mueller said. ``The ABCF believes in armed resistance to achieve a stateless and classless society. ABCF has continued to organize, recruit, and train anarchists in the tactical use of firearms.''
The FBI chief also said some US-based militant groups ``follow radical variants of Islam, and in some cases express solidarity with al-Qaeda and other international terrorist groups.''
Riley insisted his group, which has around 25 members, does not sympathize with al-Qaeda.

How do they feel about the IRA?
Right on schedule folks. These jackasses will start shooting places up and the demorats will use that as an excuse to disarm everybody.. New World Order here we come.
I think even the IRA is ticked off at the IRA after the murder of Robert McCartney.

Ah, yes, the classless society. Doubt it? The founding members of this group, who will, of course, be running things ("It's good to be the king"), will happily blow you and your doubts the hell up!
CU professor Ward Churchill is scheduled to speak at an Anarchists Book Fair in San Francisco on March 16th, 2005.

"Synchronized bombing is a lie. But we can be more precise."
Whoa. Where did these people come from?
Pal Pot created such a thing in Cambodia for a couple of years. His generals who wanted some "rewards" switched over to the Vietnamese and stopped the killing. If they hadn't, one rather suspects that instead of two million classless corpses, there would be eight million. Nepal and India are experiencing the joy of liberation now. Will Chavez be the first to try it in the Americas or will these Boston anarchists attract more of their natural allies on the left?
We will all know when these clowns start their "precise bombing" campaign. Hospitals will be filled with anarchists who come in with missing hands, feet, etc. These idiots will blow themselves and their parents basements up long before they can do any harm.
Sacco and Vanzetti were anarchists*. (They were also murderers.) Not exactly an emerging group, more retro, if you ask me. La plus ça change, la plus la même -Pascal.
*At the time they were more commonly and accurately referred to as "anarchist bastards". Apologies to bastards.
I would be willing to bet that they are "hiding in plain sight" at many of those extreme-left-leaning campuses in and around the Boston area.
It's a bit mysterious to me why some people never seem to learn the lessons that history teaches about attempts to create classless societies. These attempts are always made by smart people who claim to want what's best for everybody, but they always end up with the same group (or a proper subset thereof, the rest having been liquidated because they were insufficiently committed to the cause) running things as they see fit, without regard for the wishes or the needs of the people they claimed to be setting out to help.
Here are two of their websites I found easily off Google. They have chapters all over the world.

Here's an Australian group I believe: Site here
They want to let all those nice people in prison out donchknow. And they don't believe in authority. Except theirs of course....
