FBI: Left Wing Green Terrorists the most active terror organization in the U.S
Report by J.J. Johnson - Sierra Times.com: 02.13.02WASHINGTON -- Move over Al-Queda. It's now official: The Earth Liberation Front, a left wing organization that has carried out 600 attacks since 1996 has become the largest and most active U.S.-based terrorist group, the FBI's top domestic terrorism officer said Tuesday.
But you might see this report buried in the inside of your Wednesday fish wrap. Kenneth Lay will get all the glory for taking the fifth in front of Congress Tuesday. But the House Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health's efforts to shed light on the Earth Liberation Front and it's partners in crime, the Animal Liberation Front, were frustrated when former ELF spokesman Craig Rosebraugh also refused to answer questions from members of Congress. Go figure - he's got more to hide.
Remember: According to the FBI, Rosebraugh's organization has done more damage in America than even the Enron Corporation.
"I'll take the Fifth Amendment," Rosebraugh said more than 50 times to questions ranging from whether he helped produce an ELF terrorist training film to who was paying for his attorney.
Rosebraugh was subpoenaed to testify by Rep. Scott McInnis, R-Colo., Chairman of the House Subcommittee.
As published here in the past at Sierra Times, Rosebraugh was the mouthpiece for the left-wing, extremist terrorists organization. He at least admitted relaying anonymous messages on ELF's behalf from 1997 until he quit last September, but had no firsthand knowledge of any attacks.
Innocent Arabs are in jail for less.
Here's the price tag in the name of green worship: $43 million in more than 600 attacks since 1996 (yes, they've been busy). Their tradecraft includes spray-painting graffiti, breaking windows, firebombing research centers and ski resorts. $12 million alone in the Vail, Colorado attack. This all according to FBI expert James F. Jarboe.
"They're the most active. They cause the most damage," Jarboe told the subcommittee, but the state-sponsored news version will make sure to let you know that white supremacist groups are still considered more dangerous because their attacks are often aimed at people. What they won't tell you is that no white supremacist group is listed as a 'terrorist organization' by the FBI, and urban gang members attack more people than anyone. But keeping statistics like those could get one labeled 'insensitive'
Nobody has been killed in an ELF or ALF attack yet, but McInnis said it is wrong to think of the green terrorists as "nature-loving hippies" or misguided youths. Such would be an insult to "nature-loving hippies" and misguided youths, respectively.
"These are hardened criminals," he said. "They are dangerous, they are well-funded, they are savvy, sophisticated and stealthy, and if their violence continues to escalate, it is only a matter of time before their parade of terror results in a lost human life."
When a crime happens with a firearm, some politician attempts to repeal the right to keep and bear arms from the citizenry. Six hundred acts of terrorism costing $43 million, and no one dares mention repealing the Endangered Species Act, or the Antiquities Act of 1906 - the laws passed that fuel the fire for these terrorists.
In a report the ELF and ALF issued last month, the groups admitted responsibility for 67 illegal actions in 2001, including burning down a $5.4 million horticulture building at the University of Washington. Gutsy, huh?
In 1998, the ELF claimed responsibility for an arson attack at Vail Ski Resort that did $12 million in damage.
Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., said he understands that die-hard environmentalists are frustrated with some of the Bush administration's policies, but eco-terrorism hurts the cause by making it harder for him and others to promote more environmental-friendly policies. Of course, the Democrat, Inslee is not partisan about the matter - even though the ELF's path of destruction has been ongoing since 1996 - when Bush wasn't president.
Rosebraugh's attorney/mouthpiece, Stuart Sugarman, said he wanted "to thank Mr. McInnis for providing attention for this important cause," as if the hearings were merely a way to further the cause of eco-terrorism.
Just this Monday in Phoenix, one of their fellow terror-warriors, Mark Sands was sentenced to 18 years in prison for torching seven luxury homes under construction as he tried to stop development near protected desert areas. He also admitted writing letters to the media and property owners warning that the fires would continue as long as people continued to build next to the protected land in Phoenix and Scottsdale. One note, found April 29 said, ``You build, we burn again.''

He mentioned that the left wing talking heads on TV phoney news never say that these eco terrorists are terrorists and advocate terrorism.
I get the feeling that Rodger researches Free Republic for a lot of his topics! Great for Free Republic and Rodger!

Are you saying the eco terrorists are funny and to be compared to revolutionary heroes?
The Media, the FBI and the Senate constantly shine the light of suspicion on the "Extreme Right Wing", when in fact we hold true to the same principles of the Culpepper Minute Men - Heroes! Is this satire how the FBI would look at them now?
Can you think of any real big acts of terrorism/violence that can be blamed on conservatives/right winger besides the OKC disaster? I can't. I can certainly think of a lot of eco terrorist acts since 1992!
Thanks you had me confused.
John Robinson needs to get some sort of highlighter showing when we are being sarcastic!
I only wanted to highlight your point with Satire.

John Robinson needs to come up with some symbol or color that shows when we posting or trying to use satire! Maybe the color of my face when I read what this FBI geek said at first re right wing violence!
