SPECIAL REPORT: Eco-Terror Leader Declares War On America Craig Rosebraugh, the enigmatic environmental anarchist whose tenure as the public face of the terrorist Earth Liberation Front (ELF) was marked by millions of dollars in violent property destruction, a sizable financial gift from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and a penchant for hiding behind the Fifth Amendment, has declared war on America. Fresh from his appearance at Cal State Fresno's "Revolutionary Environmentalism" conference, Rosebraugh has penned a manifesto calling for anti-war protesters to carry out "direct actions" against the American government, military installations, multinational corporations, financial institutions, urban centers, and broadcast television networks. Like the ELF, Rosebraugh has no use for peaceful protests, calling them "pointless, and perhaps even counterproductive." Instead, he prefers an activist plan that, quite literally, terrorizes America into withdrawing troops from the Persian Gulf. "An atmosphere of severe unrest," Rosebraugh wrote on Monday, "if manufactured properly, will force the U.S. government to place military resources in the streets of the United States, will threaten the economy... and ultimately create a political atmosphere unfavorable for Bush to continue on with the war." How to manufacture this sort of atmosphere? Rosebraugh articulates the following seven-point plan (in his own words) for would-be members of his hate-America terrorist brigade: "Attack the financial centers of the country... physically shut down financial centers which regulate and assist the functioning of [the] U.S. economy." "Large scale urban rioting [so that] the U.S. government will be forced to send U.S. troops into the domestic arena thereby taking resources and political focus away from the war... Rioting should be focused on governmental agencies and corporations." "Attack the media centers of the country... Using any means necessary, shut down the national networks of NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc. Not just occupations but actually engage in strategies and tactics which knock the networks off the air." (emphasis added) "Spread the battle to the... very heads of government and U.S. corporations... Hit them in their personal lives, visit their homes." "Make it known publicly that this movement DOES NOT support U.S. troops... Create an atmosphere lacking of support to assist U.S. troops at home and abroad in losing their morale and will to fight." "Actively target U.S. military establishments within the United States... use any means necessary to slow down the functioning of the [U.S. military]." (emphasis added) "[S]trike hard and fast and retreat in anonymity. Select another location, strike again hard and fast and quickly retreat in anonymity... Do not get caught. DO NOT GET CAUGHT. Do not get sent to jail. Stay alert, keep active, and keep fighting." Rosebraugh implies over and over that the anti-war movement simply hasn't gone far enough. He clearly wants to take the ELF's terror tactics -- honed during attacks on logging companies, new home builders, and the Vail ski lodge -- and direct them at the federal government itself. Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge said yesterday that intelligence on homegrown terror groups influenced his decision to raise America to the "code orange" alert level on Monday. "[R]egional extremist organizations and ad hoc groups or disgruntled individuals may use this time period to conduct terrorist attacks against the United States," he told reporters during a Tuesday press conference. In a poignant Washington Times book review of a Unabomber biography, Fresno State University's Bruce Thorton argued on Sunday that we may one day fall prey to "a homegrown terrorism driven by debased myths and shop-worn ideas." "The war against terrorism," Thornton added, "has more fronts than we think."

Sweet. I'll take that advice to heart.

[EBUCK]

No doubt. Can you imagine 400,000 armed rednecks decending on a couple hundred thousand terrorists. They'd piss themselves with fear.

[Grampa Dave]

As my Dad used to tell me, In a bad situation, it is better to face trial by 12 of your peers than to be buried by your six best friends.

[tracer]

Wondering what will be the last thing that goes through his mind....

[Poincare]

I don't get it. Do these people think that the desert-making arabs are better for the Earth or its animal population than is Western civilization?

[countrydummy]

Thanks for this! I have sent it to someone I think can really do something with it, we shall see! This guy is really calling for terrorists attacks on America and needs to be arrested immediately and made an example of! His own statements are plain!

[madfly]

Damn straight. Plainly inciting terrorism. I'm ready to read in breaking news, that he has been found and arrested!

[madfly]

[AAABEST]

I call for direct action to be taken against Craig Rosenbraugh...high-velocity direct action, in the area between his orbital sockets.

Amen. I would love nothing more than to run into an angry freaked-out, anti-American green pig with a gun. Give me a perfect excuse.

Scratch an eco terrorist and you will find an earth based religion like Wicca.

[SierraWasp]

Now everyone can see why the leftist professors and media mobsters have been drumming "tolerance" into the populace!!!

All who are wondering why we're having "The Death of Outrage," should remember WHY the people don't get upset by this outrageous behavior.

The country has been "softened up" for this internal attack and will be completely confused by it, with the media mobsters piling on and compounding the confusion!!!

[blackie]

Hang 'em High!

Let's Roll!

[Carry_Okie]

It wouldn't take much for these creeps to raise major havoc.

Consider what would happen if they torched a forested suburb in late summer with high winds.

[dark_lord]

Scratch an eco terrorist and you will find an earth based religion like Wicca.

Sometimes. Just as many are deluded "Christians". But as a group they are not religious at all - mainly anarchists. And Christians were the original ecologists. We call it "Stewardship".

[dark_lord]

Go here to post articles about activists. I got the ball rolling with an article about this guy.

Please read the site guidelines before posting. They prefer factual information with URL references, please. Note this is a left leaning site but anyone can post there. Please do not trash the site. We have an opportunity to post there and open some minds.

[Travis McGee]

Amen brother. These traitor dirtbags will not like Rule 308 one little bit.

[biblewonk]

Sometimes. Just as many are deluded "Christians". But as a group they are not religious at all - mainly anarchists. And Christians were the original ecologists. We call it "Stewardship".

I wouldn't call a person who claims to be a Christian and yet doesn't believe the bible a "deluded Christian". There seem to be a lot in that category. I agree that stewardship and a love for the creator of the World makes many Christians better environmentalists than many liberals.

Saw that on a car today. Where can I get one???
