I have strong and deep ties to the abolitionist/animal liberation movement, maintain a large grass-roots communications network of like-minded people, and support militant direct action groups such as the ALF, SHAC, Sea Shepherd, the ELF, the Justice Department, and the Animal Brigade. I recently started simulposting (with NAALPO and Jerry Vlasak) the anonymous communiqués from some of these groups. All of my activities are legal, of course.
Militant Direct Action… How do you not see that as acts of terrorism? Are you familiar with Linda’s Fashions of Geistown, PA. Your comrade Jerry Vlasak was kind enough to blame the store for the attack.
You probably feel that attacking law abiding citizens and destroying their property is acceptable. You probably would not feel that way if it was done to your property. You probably even feel that you should be allowed to implement any direct action without any recrimination. Anything you do should be considered above the law and accepted as proper action against anyone you feel is deserving of your attention and attacks. How is that any different than the Brown Shirts of the 1930’s taking direct action against the Jews? That is easy to answer… it is not any different. You can sugar coat it however you like, but there it is.
I see that you have targeted Best, Paul Watson, NAALPO, and another ally of mine, Camille Hankins.
Tsk, tsk. You should leave people of good conscience alone!

How exactly did we target these people? Did we threaten them? No. Did we attack them? No. Did we destroy any of their property? No. Did we support anyone that did carry out a direct action against any of them? No.
We are sorry you believe that we have targeted Steven Best, paul Watson, the NAALPO, and Camille Hankins. We have not. All we have done is to record and maintain for the historical record the actions of these people. We just give credit where credit is due. Sorry you do not like the truth. We notice you have not disputed a single fact.
So you consider supporting the destructive actions against Linda’s Fashions to be of people of good conscience. That is pretty much what we suspected.
