Ramsey County sheriff's deputies found weapons and devices to disable buses - among other items - in searches in the Twin Cities last night and today.

Authorities said the items came from "key members of the RNC Welcoming Committee," a self-described anarchist group.

Five people have been arrested and four properties have been searched, according to the sheriff's office.

At 8 a.m. today, the sheriff's office executed search warrants at three Minneapolis homes - 2301 23rd Ave. S., 3500 Harriet Ave. and 3240 17th Ave. S. The FBI, Minneapolis police and the Hennepin County sheriff's office assisted them.

"The 'Welcoming Committee' is a criminal enterprise made up of 35 anarchists who are intent on committing criminal acts before and during the Republican National Convention," said Sheriff Bob Fletcher in a statement. "These acts include tactics to blockade and disable delegate buses, breaching venue security and injuring police officers. They have recruited assistance in their criminal conspiracy from other anarchists groups throughout the country. Through their plans and actions they have exhibited a blatant disregard for the law and the safety of others."

The statement said the items found in the searches included:

Anarchists? NOT.

Fascists.

Jonah Goldberg has them pegged in his new book:

Liberal Fascism: From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

And they are there to do the bidding of Bill Ayers and his annointed one.

No Joke:

The thing that always amazed me about these self-styled "anarchists" is how much organizing and planning they do.

Don't they know the definition of "anarchy"?

I posted this on another thread today, but thought someone here would be interested in it. I found this anarchist website when I was volunteering for the RNC in NYC in 2004.

What shocked me then was that they posted addresses in NYC, (even private home addresses), revealing where every VIP was meeting, and at what time of the day or evening.

Scary bunch of creeps.

What exactly is a “anti-bus weapon”.

Don't know. But you'll find a lot of people Brack Oblahblah threw under it.

These anarchists are strictly Fourth (Trotskyite) and Fifth (Situationist + Chavismo) International. They work as a united front with the Socialist International, but aren’t organized by them.

That’s hardly fair considering the same things are carried aboard Obama’s chartered 757...

No, see, the anarchists have been very upfront since the start that they would do these sorts of things. The feces and urine, blocking traffic by any means necessary (disabling buses and light rail).

The cops are getting credible info and tips, they are getting court warrants and they are going to do everything they possibly can to keep everything safe and orderly.

From the article: Homemade caltrops (devises used to disable buses in roads)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrop

From Wikipedia: A caltrop (calthrop, jack rock, star nail, crow's foot or partisan nails) is a weapon made up of two (or more) sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base (for example, a tetrahedron).

Buckets of urine.

Buckets of urine.

OK, this is why I'm not a liberal.

I can't even relate to this.

Disgusting.

Anarchists? NOT. Fascists. Jonah Goldberg has them pegged in his new book:

Exactly! Mobilizing the entire society with military discipline, but without a war is the statists wet dream.

Recall Obama's comments about a parallel organization to the military...

Never forget (the way the anarchists obviously have!) that after the anarchists help the Communists gain power, the Communists turn around and kill the anarchists, too. Anarchists are useful for destabilizing and creating fear, but not for the Communist program. The Commies killed the anarchists in Russia, and they killed them in the parts of Spain that were taken over by the left, too.

Well. . .urine and feces breed nasty bacteria.

Bacteria used as weapons are Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Sounds like life in Marion or Leavenworth to ME. . . terrorism involving WMD. . .
