Emeryville -- UPDATE: An animal rights activist group called the Revolutionary Cells took responsibility today for planting a pair of pipe bombs that exploded early Thursday at the Emeryville biotechnology firm Chiron Corp., causing minor damage.

In a statement posted on the Web site of Biteback Magazine, the previously unknown group said members had "descended on the animal-killing scum Chiron'' early Thursday. "We left them with a small surprise of two pipe bombs filled with an ammonium nitrate slurry with redundant timers,'' the statement said.

I think the press should report this issue more. The environmentalists and PETA kooks depend on charity to eat. We need to alert folks so they stop contributing to national left wing terrorist groups.

We've had a bellyfull of these "environmentalists" here in NJ-specifically, in neighboring Somerset County, where they are an almost constant nuisance at Huntingdon Life Sciences.
The Somerset County courts have been handing out serious jail time to these "heroes"-which is why-I suppose- they are doing their thing on the west coast now.

Now that ELF is getting more press we'll see more of these enviro-terrorist media whores.

I had a friend who worked for a Huntingdon lab in the late '80s outside Washington. They were regularly harassed in and around the lab by animal rights wackos, and the building was repeatedly vandalized. Sometimes cars in the parking lot would get their antennas broken off, juvenile stuff like that.

I see stuff like this and imagine the culprits as some Beavis-and-Butt-Head types who think it's "cool" to pretend that they're some home-grown Carlos the Jackal clone, have a l33t "revolutionary" website and blow stuff up. Nothing would make me happier than to see punks like that meet Reality at high speed--preferably staring down the flashlights and barrels of some anti-terrorist task force's MP5s. No shooting, of course, I just want the kids to forget their toilet-training momentarily and then have to do the perp walk with the results obvious.

But I'm reactionary that way.

They're mentally defecient. They need a "group" or "club" in order to claim some type of identity. They're not happy as themselves, so they find a cause they "think" is noble to attach themselves to. They feel people will see them as heros instead of the terrorist, that in the real world, they are.
People see them as terrorists, but that will never cross their minds. They're lost and without hope. They'll die trying to find an identity, any identity, that will help "mommy and daddy" notice them.

This crap was never publicized in the golden Clinton years. A co-worker was at the Harvard Primate labs in the 90s. They had to pretty much xray all of their mail. Malcontents would constantly send them razor blades and other nasties.

We need to begin attaching these incidents and the crazies who commit them with the Democrat party. We need to mount a sustained and organized effort to define the Democrat party as on which has been hijacked by crazies who "look a lot like terrorists elsewhere in the world."

If this were some Southern Christian identity type, you can bet it would be laid at the feet of George Bush and the "extreme Christian right". Each of these acts is an opportunity to do what the "new tone in Washington" has failed to do since the last presidential election.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.

"These left wing extremists, or Democrat contributers and groups advocated by the Democrat party, have addmitted to........"
How's that?

Bump!

Don't look for Johnny Ashcroft to bother going after these guys. The FBI is way too busy busting people who sell bongs and pipes (the horror), put naked pictures of "adult women dressing up as girls and performing lewd sex acts" on the Internet (GASP!) and acting as the enforcer for the Recording Industry of America. These operations are much more important than crushing the only operating terrorist group in America.

Summary of report facts (probable resultant damage):

1. bombings at drug company (human life saving reduced}
2. "honor" sought by anonymous enviroterror cowards (gain for death worshippers)
3. winked at by mainstream animalist group (watermelon's sophistry unquestioned by Lamestream Media)

Here are the following items that support probable results shown in summary.

• Chiron, which develops medicines to treat cancer and infectious diseases.(obviously, stopping of work there, damaging facilities, and destroying gained knowledge, contribute to higher costs and result in lowered efficiencies to save human lives.)
• the Food and Drug Administration requires that biotech firms test their drugs on animals before selling them to humans. (Those who would prevent testing on animals are thereby harming human life. If they only wanted to protect animals, well then, why not work to remove the legal requirement for testing rather than target the firm? Because they're green on the outside and red on the inside; and Reds don't reduce laws. Experimenting upon human beings who are desperate for a miracle is okay with them -- perhaps especially since more humans will die due to the experimentations. Their excuse is that they are protecting animals, but either way they cut it, they foster more human deaths by their actions.)
  
• ... group called the Revolutionary Cells [bragged] today for planting a pair of pipe bombs ... [claiming they] ...'descended on the animal-killing scum Chiron.' (securing against threats of terrorist actions reduces efficiency for saving human lives.)
• In an interview, the group's [Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC)] leader, Kevin Jonas, said the activists "considered Chiron...fair game. [This group]continues to lend its ideological support to any action" provided the intention is not to kill or harm any human or animal. (SHAC did not care if it contributed to indirect killing of humans due to its adding to delays in getting needed medicines to ailing human beings.)

"We're certainly exploring the possibility that this was an act of domestic terrorism,'' she said. ""But at this point we just don't have enough information.''

Somebody please tell me that the top law enforcement agency in the country did not say this. Please?

Well they came to the right place. Berkeley will issue a proclamation legitimizing their arson and bombing of capitalist, environment-destroying businesses and then build a monument to them in "People's Park".

BTW, I left Hunterdon County in '79. Has the megalopolis reached Whitehouse Station yet?

Oh yeah? For people who set fire to car dealerships, homes, and industrial buildings, set pipe bombs, and risk others' lives? I say send them to prison for a few years of 24x7 group sex with the homeys to get their minds right.
