Arson-Around with Auntie ALF

Animal Liberation Front (ALF) recipy for domestic terrorism - or

May 24th, 2007

Thomas Barnes, a former deputy district attorney in El Paso County, Colorado promised Denver District Judge William Robbins that his son, suspected eco terrorist Grant Barnes would be a good boy and appear in court in exchange for a drastic reduction in bail. Authorities accuse the 24 year old Barnes of attempting to set off firebombs under seven sport utility vehicles over four days in March, causing extensive fire damage to two of them. Despite objections by Prosecutor Ryan Younggren, Judge Robbins agreed to reduce bail from $200,000 to $100,000 because no one had been injured in the fire bombings (how fortunate!). According to the Rocky Mountain News:

And the Denver Post:

police found a box of seven more devices in the back of Barnes car which are replicas of bombs portrayed on the web site of terrorist organization Earth Liberation Front, with explosive ingredients and directions titled "Arson-Around with Auntie ALF"


According to the search warrant affidavit, when he was pulled over, Barnes was "extremely nervous and sweating profusely," and investigators are now searching Barnes’ computer for information that would show "he acted in collaboration with members of an arson/terrorist organization. " In the latest affidavit, Denver Fire investigator Leif Skulborstad said that ELF and ALF are interrelated organizations and "both ... use arson and incendiary devices as a terrorist tactic." The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is assisting in the investigation.

Barnes arraignment has been postponed until July to give his lawyer Phil Cherner time to assess whether to file an insanity plea. (Quelle surprise!)

H$U$, "Inhumane Wayne"

Steven Best with HSUS president Wayne Pacelle (Best is the co-editor of Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? Reflections on the Liberation of Animals, which sings the sings the praises of “direct action” violence and the Animal Liberation Front)

Oooh, oooh! The Animal Liberation Front calls him a saint! (ALF - Those fun folks who like to blow things up...)

When asked if he envisioned a future without pets: "If I had my personal view, perhaps that might take hold. In fact, I don't want to see another dog or cat born." Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 266.

"I don't have a hands-on fondness for animals...To this day I don't feel bonded to any non-human animal. I like them and I pet them and I'm kind to them, but there's no special bond between me and other animals." quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 251.

OK folks, just in case some of you still think that Wayne and his cohorts at the Humane Society of the United States are a warm fuzzy bunch of animal lovers and that it's just a coincidence that the leaders are vegan fascists, then take a cue from our own leaders. Wayne was outed by virtually everyone at this weeks US Agriculture sub committe hearing. All that smoke and mirrors from their new public relation firm (the same one that represents ethnic media icons including Judge Joe Brown...) is becoming transparent. Caught in a web of his own lies, Pacelle was spanked hard and sent to bed without his tofu.

" Pacelle suggested his group could simply go around the House Ag Committee to advance its agenda if necessary"

Since this continuing credibily issue might make it difficult for H$U$, PeTA, Best Friends and their brothers in arms to pass extremist backed legislation at the federal level, the radicals have published a new "how to manual" for eroding our freedoms at the lower levers of government. This H$U$ funded book reaffirms the loveless, meatless, petless apcalyptic goals outlined in the updated H$U$ official policy statement (approved October22, 2005). Clearly stated in this manuals introduction:

"Imagine winning local ordinances that: require shelters that provide true comfort for animals of all domesticated species when kept outdoors and regulate the time and conditions in which they may be outdoors; restrict or ban dog tethering or penning; restrict or ban breeding, while providing public funds for spaying and neutering; require truly humane animal control policies and sheltering, including policies that focus strongly on cats’ needs; ban pet stores from selling animals, the use of animals in circuses, rodeos, dog and horse racing, and the hunting and trapping of wildlife; ban the sale and production of veal and foie gras and other atrocities of factory farming; and restrict laboratory testing on animals, moving toward its elimination. Imagine achieving these changes in your locality. In nearly all parts of the United States, town, city, and county lawmakers can legislate directly on all these issues (it’s true!) In other communities (in states that restrict local governments from banning recreational killing, for example), lawmakers can achieve the same results through highly restrictive regulations and other ordinances. Lawmakers will do all this, if you embrace and act on the lessons this MANUAL provides. "

Wow! If we end commercial farming, AND hunting, you can kiss your burger goodbye. Regulate "the time and conditions" when "all domestic species" can be outdoors? Ban pet stores from selling goldfish? Eliminating all biomedical research with animals even though it has resulted in vaccines, treatment, and cures for diseases that cause grievous human suffering.

Repeat after me:
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DONATE TO ANIMAL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS!

What’s so Humane about this?

"We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding. One generation and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are the creations of human selective breeding." Wayne Pacelle, quoted in Animal People, May, 1993.

http://www.activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/oid/136 “J.P. Goodwin doesn’t represent HSUS’s only intersection with the animal rights movement’s violent underbelly. Miyun Park, a Washington, DC anti-meat activist hired by HSUS in 2005, was acknowledged in 1999 as a financial benefactor of No Compromise magazine, a publication that supports the ALF and promotes arson and other violent tactics. And in the investigation leading to the 2005 animal-enterprise terrorism trial of six SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty) activists, Park was among those named in at least six federal wiretap warrants.

And Ariana Huemer, an HSUS government-affairs employee, may figure in the case of fugitive animal-rights bomber Daniel Andreas San Diego. An FBI evidence recovery log from the search of San Diego’s car describes a check Huemer wrote to him. San Diego, currently on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list, is presumed responsible for 10-pound shrapnel bombs detonated in 2003 at two California biomedical research companies. One of these bombs was accompanied by a “secondary” device, timed to detonate after paramedics and firefighters arrived on the scene. “

The Taking Action for Animals conference will include dozens of leading figures from the animal movement and speakers from other social justice movements sharing their knowledge and experience to help you take your activism to the next level. http://www.takingactionforanimals.org/speakers.php In a line up filled with criminals and radicals, confirmed HSUS speakers include: Wayne Pacelle, Andi Bernat, Katie Conlee, Carter Dillard, Jennifer Fearing, John Goodwin, Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. John Hadidian, Johnathan Loworn, Michael Markarian, Miyun Park, Nancy Perry, Peter Petersan, Alyson Powers, Heidi Prescott, Dr. Bob Roop, Stephanie Shain,

Breed Bans Hit Court Opposition; Anti-tethering Laws Gain Favor
“Breed-specific legislation, long opposed by the American Kennel Club, the American SPCA, and the Humane Society of the U.S., is no longer actively opposed by HSUS, and has won support around the U.S. and Canada.” Animal People magazine April 2006 (The watchdog publication for the extreme animal rights movement.)

John “J.P.” Goodwin (The mouthpiece of HSUS’s 20 million dollar anti pit bull and anti hunting “animal fighting” campaign), By 1998, at just 25 years old, Goodwin was describing himself as a "former member of ALF". His busy schedule was filled with interviews, arrests, ALF p.r., addressing kids at conferences, protests, a presence in several countries and, in the summer of 1999, the filing of a lawsuit against his pet project - CAFT (Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade) under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act by a Philadelphia furrier tired of incessant protests and attacks on his property and staff. http://www.furcommission.com/news/newsF03i.htm

John Paul “J.P.” Goodwin represents another disturbing tie between HSUS and the violent animal rights underground. In 1997, when Goodwin was the national director of the Coalition To Abolish the Fur Trade, he wrote in No Compromise that he and his group “support these [ALF] actions 100%. We will never, ever, ever work with anyone who helps the FBI stop the ALF ... this is one of the best things to happen in a long time.” [7] In March 1997, following the $1 million ALF arson of a fur farmers’ feed co-op in Utah, Goodwin told reporters: “We’re ecstatic.”

"Also alarming are the relationships these domestic terrorist groups have with tax-exempt organizations like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the Humane Society of the United States, and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine."

“However, animal rights activists at state and national levels are attempting to force regulation of breeders through legislatures and the initiative process. They are backed by organizations such as the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights, Doris Day Animal League, Humane Society of the US, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and others that denigrate purebred dogs as genetic nightmares and vilify breeders as vain and greedy animal exploiters.” Dog and cat breeds are in peril in Europe 1999 http://www.naiaonline.org/body/articles/archives/dogand.htm

Hijacking of the humane movement, “They usually get their ducks in a row, contacting politicians and persuading them that the votes lie with a "compassionate" stance against the killing of healthy animals; planting articles and letters to the editor in local papers decrying the euthanasia of dogs and cats in the local shelter; collecting donations for a print-media advertising campaign; blaming "profit-making" breeders for a "surplus" population of pets; and even euthanizing a dog or two for the television cameras to drive their point across.” http://www.naiaonline.org/body/articles/archives/hijack.htm

“Numerous former PeTA employees have worked at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), including Richard Swain, vice president of investigations; Jonathan Balcombe, Cristobel Block, and Virginia Bollinger, investigations section; Howard Edelstein, computer programmer; Leslie Gerstenfeld and Kimberly Roberts, international affairs section; and Leslie Ison and Rachel Lamb, “companion animals” section. PeTA “Humane Education Lecturer” Gary Yourofsky, a convicted Animal Liberation Front felon, spoke at HSUS’s 2002 CompassionFest for children. HSUS and PeTA joined eight other animal groups to demand that the U.S. Department of Agriculture restore to its website documents concerning the use of animals in research. HSUS and PeTA are both active members of the International Council on Animal Protection, which seeks to limit research on animals. And in 2003, HSUS Vice President Martin Stephens was asked to recommend three people to serve on an EPA “pollution prevention and toxics” panel. Two out of his three choices were PeTA employees. HSUS and PeTA are co-sponsors of the 2005 “Taking Action For Animals” conference in Washington, DC.”

Animal Rightists: Coming to a Town Near You, “While ALF and ELF blow up buildings, their PeTA counterparts are busy screaming for attention. HSUS then comes in to consult under the guise of legitimacy. Their websites and promotional materials are phenomenally well-crafted. Their resources are unlimited. In fact, it is likely that your municipality is already using their materials to guide policy and craft new ordinances.” http://magic-city-news.com/article_6472.shtml

HSUS/Fund for Animals Merger Apparently A Done Deal http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2004/000468.html

“They (HSUS) are secretly funneling lobbying money into the state -blatantly circumventing our laws.” http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2003/000367.html

It is interesting that HSUS feels comfortable with the sort of extreme animal rights sentiment espoused by Ark Trust. This is consistent, though, with HSUS' ongoing habit of sending one message to the public and another message to the animal rights community. http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2002/000298.html

Do Animal Rights Activists Care More About Animals Than Human Beings? http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2002/000036.html

Animal rightists are pushing their agenda in small increments under the guise of animal welfare and with mistruths, but the public is not aware of the slippery path ahead. Just as happens in many of the other areas we touch, we have accomplished a lot for a little. As an example, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a $17 million budget with a staff of 200. The Humane Society of the United States has a $70 million budget, 300 staff members, and no animal shelters to support. Other animal rights organizations have a combined income of over $14.5 million. How about the AVMA? As you know, our $24 million budget is divided into many areas. Currently we devote around $200,000 and one FTE (full time employee) to animal welfare activities! Truly, a mouse that roars. - Bonnie V. Beaver, BS, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVB, AVMA President-elect (Address to the AVMA House of Delegates, July 23, 2004) http://www.upc-online.org/avma/81004speech.htm
