Since
the early 90s, we have repeatedly warned {1} that Animal
Rights Advocates prefer subversive legislative action to overt
terrorism. Campaign contributions (payoff)
to
carefully chosen legislative leaders such as Rick Santorum of PAWS
fame are much more effective than raiding animal research laboratories in
outright acts of terrorism.
In
2008 the political goals of Animal Rights insurrection were being
watched by the Department Of Homeland Security. Depending on how
politically informed you are, you may see us as going backward under
today’s DHS leadership. Be assured however; the FBI ranks ELF as the #1 Domestic Terror
Threat {2} as reported by TheDogPlace, and both ELF and ALF (Animal
Liberation Front) are repeatedly referenced in the DHS document to which
you are about to have access.
The
seriousness of the threat and the scope of the
Animal Rights agenda is revealed in this private internal report. As
you read, be aware of what has changed since
May of 2008.
Janet
Napolitano,
the
third Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has taken heavy
fire for her alleged ineffectiveness in controlling U.S. borders even as the
privacy debate over TSA and airport screenings rages on. Just this
week, news of the subversive, secretly formed ANIMAL RIGHTS CAUCUS in
the California legislature has surfaced.
First, read the Department of Homeland Security document, then learn more about how the “animal rights” movement
was funded
{3}
and as the picture
comes into focus in the Animal Rights Legislation
{4}
section be prepared to decide
how “secure” you feel about your right to own animals.
Bolding added for emphasis.

Ecoterrorism: Environmental and Animal-Rights Militants in the United
States

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The term ecological terrorists, 1/ or ecoterrorists,
refers to those individuals who independently and/or in
concert with others engage in acts of violence and employ
tactics commonly associated with terrorism to further their
sociopolitical agenda aimed at animal and/or environmental
protection. The ecoterrorist movement is a highly
decentralized transnational network bound and driven by
common ideological constructs that provide philosophical and
moral justification for acts of violence against what it
perceives to be the destructive encroachment of modern
society on the planet’s habitat and its living organisms.

INTERNAL STRUCTURES AND ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS
The
ecoterrorist movement operates as a sophisticated and highly
decentralized network. It has no overarching hierarchical
structure, nor does it have an elaborate organizational
infrastructure. Rather, the movement embraces the concept of
leaderless resistance, an organizational model that has no
uniform authority or centralized control and command
structure.44 Shared ideology and a willingness to engage in
illegal and violent activities in pursuit of environmental
and animal protectionism provide independent actors
with structural cohesion through a commonality of purpose.
After all, any individual willing to take direct action in
support of the movement’s overall aim—to counter
environmental and animal exploitation—is
automatically considered to be part of the movement.45 (U//FOUO)
Organizational dynamics are barely present, and, to a great
extent, activists operate underground. Personal contacts may
play into organizational dynamics, to the extent that
individual cells or activists exchange information with each
other. However, in the vast majority of cases individuals
involved in acts of ecoterrorism are not in contact with
other individuals or cells engaged in similar activities.
Although autonomous cells and individuals are known to take
guidance from Internet materials, which provide the
parameters and, often, instructions for an action, they tend
to execute their activities independently of one another and
the movement at large, yet they are consistent with the
overarching slogan, “Think global, act local!”46
(U//OUO)
EXTERNAL RELATIONSHIPS AND INTERORGANIZATIONAL TIES
External relationships and inter-organizational ties are
difficult to assess because the groups that constitute the
ecoterrorist movement have highly decentralized structures
and do not require conventional membership. Yet, it is clear
that there is some degree of interaction between various
ecomilitant groups and/or individuals. After all, ELF and
ALF are considered to be sister organizations and the newer,
more radical groups, such as Arissa and SHAC, are their
respective derivatives. The following radical
environmental and animal-rights groups share some
ideological tenets and operational aims; however, the
precise nature of their ties remains unclear:
-
ELF
-
ALF
-
Arissa
-
Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC)
-
Sea
Shepherd Conservation Society
-
Animal Rights Militia
-
Animal Liberation Brigade
-
Direct Action Front
-
Band of Mercy (U//FOUO)
