Based off those pages, the authorities should start looking at Democrat/liberal groups at college campuses in the Vancouver area.

Legal Action Against David Barbarash Dropped

By Brian Carnell

Wednesday, April 23, 2003

Several animal rights sites reported in March that the Canadian and U.S. governments had dropped all legal efforts against David Barbarash stemming from the July 30, 2002 raid on Barbarash's home which resulted in the seizure of property belong to Barbarash.

In December a British Columbia Supreme Court Judge quashed the search warrant that the police used in the raid. That warrant turned out to be based solely on a single photocopied newspaper article which the judge ruled did not constitute a sufficient basis for the warrant.

With the warrant thrown out, Canadian and U.S. counsel Matthew Williams had little choice but to file a Notice of Abandonment with the British Columbia Supreme Court on March 17 saying that it was ending its legal proceedings against the former Animal Liberation Front spokesman.

This is the second time in recent years that the Canadian government initiated legal proceedings against Barbarash only to have to embarrassingly withdraw them. Barbarash and fellow activist Darren Thurston were suspects in the mailing of razor blades and threatening letters to fur farmers and scientists.

Police had to drop charges against Thurston and Barbarash in September 2000, however, after the government was unwilling to disclose evidence from a Canadian intelligence agency's investigation of the duo.

Thurston and Barbarash spent time in jail in 1992 after being convicted of stealing 29 cats from a laboratory at the University of Alberta. Barbarash has bragged in the past about taking part in numerous ALF actions.

throw the book at them

Easier said than done. Apparently, these eco-terrorists are a hard nut to crack. The FBI has been trying to infiltrate them for years with little to no luck.

Here are three pictures from the ELF damage today.  The picture on the right is a fire started in a large business complex a few months back.
You can right click, view, to see a larger 400x300 version of these.

The photo on the left shows three Humvees parked side by side, with one directly in front of the two.  Note the burned out hulk in the middle of the three.  You'll also note heat damage on the Humvees to the left and right of it.

The photos in the middle are from a warehouse on a vehicle lot about 15 miles east of my location.  You'll not a burned out hulk of a SUV in photo two and the burned out warehouse itself in photo 03.

In photo four, ELF has torched a large business complex that was coming close to completion.  It may look small, but this is actually a helicopter shot from a great distance.  This was a large business complex.

These fires put more polutants into the air than thousands of SUV's would have over a few years.  This is all out war on capitalism, not wasteful people or SUVs.

"I wonder if the FBI is putting as many agents and resources on this as they did on the Eric Rudolph case."

Yeah, really. Well Rudolph did actually kill & maim people, I guess the heat won't really get turned on ELF/ALF until they do the same. Which of course, eventually they will do.

I knew it was a bad thing years ago that the "animal rights" people were treated as harmless do-gooders by the feckless media. As usual, it has only encouraged them. Now they are into serious crime.

It truly is only a matter of time before some innocent person is killed by these acts. Then I want to hear them say it doesn't matter. Maybe then the American public will wake up to the danger of this extremely dangerous left wing radical scourge.

RICO, open and shut, but don't count on any major enforcement. These are violent totalitarians, using sabotage and arson to enforce conformity to what is actually an agenda of genocide. Their movement has crippled the space program for decades. It literally destroyed the shuttle Columbia when the public relations power of its voodoo science led to the use of inferior adhesives on the shuttle's fuel-tank insulation.

This is nothing compared to the damage the celebrity-media driven eco-movement causes in the Third World, where millions are at risk from the retardation of development, the denial of critical materials, and the constant campaign against critically needed new infrastructure. ELF and its media/activist allies like to pretend that they don't target people. On the contrary, they are mass murderers many times over. They have blood on their hands, a lot of it.

The media and their quislings in the scientific community are essentially covering this up. This is not a conspiracy, but a widespread recognition of mutual interest among one of the most ruthless large groups of people in history, the advertising/media/entertainment complex. The advertising industry; and hence, the media; profit enormously from the imagery and trappings of the eco-wacky movement, and that is literally all that matters to them. Eco-paranoia has everything for the ad-lords: fear, infantile indulgence, luddite romanticism, self-righteous authoritarianism, elitist status-seeking, and the superficial appearance of rebellion and non-conformity. ELF, and other "progressive" terrorists like Greenpeace, are the elite commando arm of the Hollywood/Madison Avenue Cultural Axis.

Know the enemy.

Islamofascists want to wipe out infidels. Envirofascists want to wipe out the entire human race, including ultimately themselves. Be the last one standing, feeling morally superior, and die!

They are death worshippers. Clean water, clean air, being kind to animals, anyone can get behind these things. That is only the sugar coating of envirofascism. They want us all dead, not because we are Americans or Zionists or what have you, it is because we are human beings.

They believe in central control of the economy, like socialists. Socialists in past times used to claim that central control was a good thing because people would be better off, it would lead to greater prosperity, etc.

This made socialism vulnerable to the criticism that it didn't work, which is to say, that it didn't meet human needs as they claimed.

Envirofascism is not vulnerable to any such criticism. Human needs are off the agenda.

This seems to be the case with all leftists nowadays. It was not always so.

No room for humans! Leftism is now death worship.
