Animal Rights and State Terrorism

From Random Hipatia

So let me see if I got this streight. ELF, best known for petty vandalism, is now the most dangerous terrorist organization in the US, and groups like the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are “sponsors” of terrorism! Who next to be labeled as terrorists and perhaps soon to be subject to rendition and FBI Gesto visits in the night? Perhaps those dangerous subversives known as the Sierra Club? ACLU attorneys? Democratics who refuse to vote for Mr. Bush’s judicial nominies?

Puh-lease. It is very clear what direction American fascism is going. News origanizations like Newsweek are already afraid to report the truth or subject to harrassement when they do. We are seeing purges of intellectuals at universities. Thugs that come in the night to take people away. Mass arrests and roundups of “undersirables”, with an ever expanding defintion of what an “undesirable” is. Soon to require identity papers, yes, can you almost already imagine the jack-booted government officer coming down the train cars on Amtrak demanding to see that your “papers are in order”. Where have we seen all these things before? Earilie familiar, isn’t it…

Curiously, while PETA makes the “short list” of terrorist sponsoring organizations, and ELF, as a terrorist organization for the mear temerity of commiting crimes against property, dominionist denominations which sponsor, advocate, and publically support bombing of abortion clinincs where innocent lives have been lost get far less attention. Is it that our elite values it’s property far more than human lives? Or is the state simply unwilling to similarly investigate the actions of pro-government brown-shirts and their pro-government/pro-corporate biased sponsors?

But how else to keep what will eventually become a very restive population in check, once the American people fully realize how our future, and the future of our children, was sold for the benefit of a small elite of wealthy parasites.
