FBI: Left Wing Green Terrorists the most active terror organization in the U.S

FBI: Left Wing Green Terrorists the most active terror organization in the U.S
Report by J.J. Johnson - Sierra Times.com: 02.13.02

WASHINGTON -- 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.''

Terror is terror no matter if you bomb people or spike trees. The intent is to manipulate people through fear of injury or death. All terrorists should be treated the same.

Mark Sands was sentenced to 18 years in prison

If I saw 300 of these court sentences I would be impressed with the F.B.I.

If this were a right wing group, the press would be all over it. Here we have crime and loss of citizen property, more than the 401K's from Enron, and the press is silent. Political correctness has created all kinds of left wing social mutants in just about every country of this world .

It's the Religion from hell ; "sin tolerant."

You are probably right, and that might just be what the gun-grabbers want. Before it gets to that point, however, we might be able to get people to wake up in this country by educating them via signs posted by private property owners, such as is being done in Pennsylvania. Just a suggestion. Please see here:

I saw a clip of this on Fox News, and one of the congressman, Waldon from Oregon I think, asked if he was related to Ken Lay from Enron, because he sounded a lot like him. I take the fifth, I take the fifth, I take the fifth!!

To: brityank; all
This was in another article posted last night on Free Republic. (FBI reports, sort of, on the Eco Terrorists)

Two points in this article leap out at you. The FBI critter who made this report to congress was still mouthing the Jake Reno BS that right wingers were still the most dangerous. (Besides the bombing in OKC where the guilty was killed by the state, what other terrorist activity by the right really happened)

Read the article, and it becomes obvious that shortly after Clintoon was sworn in Jan 1993 and later when Jake Reno became the queer/druggie running Justice there were basically very few arrests and eco terrorists found guilty. This ties right in with reports that Jake Reno ordered the Former Bureau of Investigation to lay off of the eco enviral terrorists!

Until the pink panty pro enviralists are weeded out of the FBI and Justice, we not see any real efforts to eradicate these eco terrorists who operate in the open like Robin Hood heroes in Washington, Oregon and other states.

We need a Federal Law that makes Eco Terrorism a Federal Crime and a hate crime. Then we need get the real stories of these dangerous anti America/Americans eco terrorists out. Lock them up for 3 to 4 decades! Then sue in civil court any organization or individual who has financed these vile eco terrorist criminals!

These SOB's took credit for burning down a feed mill near us because it ground grain used at mink farms (another of their targets--they have released thousands of mink, not realizing that once the mink are released, about 95% die). Once they torched it & the mill burned to the ground, the farmers had to drive miles to another grain mill to get their grain processed.

Their public pronouncements say that they they're very careful not to harm anyone. What about the firefighters who have to fight these arson fires? In the fire near us, two firefighters were injured fighting the arson. What are they going to say when the arsons they commit kill a firefighter? Oh, too bad, we're sorry....

These people are idiots. These people are terrorists.
