[Scroll down for photos of NJ “Town Hell”]

From the manufacturers of the 1950’s communist witch hunts, the 1960’s Nixon “Southern Strategy”, and more recently “intelligent design”, global warming deniers, Swiftboat Vets, Teabaggers, Birthers, Town Hellers, and know nothing parents opposed to President Obama’s “socialist indoctrination” of  their children, comes a new McCarthyite and racist witch hunt against “green commie ecoterrorists“.

From the classic “The Paranoid Style in America Politics (1964), “The Power of Nightmares” (2004), to In America, Crazy is a Preexisting Condition” (2009) – we’ve come a long way baby!

The most recent manifestation of crazy paranoia is the orchestrated right wing and Glenn Beck/Fox media attack that forced the resignation of Obama advisor Van Jones. Jones, a black community, labor, civil rights, and environmental activist, was the real deal, a true grassroots progressive.

But, putting expediency above principle, Obama caved in to a concerted right wing smear campaign and threw Jones under the bus. See: Taking the Movement Out of the Obama White House

For those who think it can’t happen here in liberal blue state New Jersey, check out the below NJ photo’s and consider this paranoid rant August 11, 2009 press release by the NJ Outdoor Alliance


DHS Reveals NJ Based Groups Provide Cover for Ecoterrorists

Belmar, NJ -(AmmoLand.com)- NJOA E Action Alert – members continue to ask that we keep them apprised of the animal extremism in New Jersey, since the movement targets fishing, hunting, trapping and conservation practices.

Yesterday I was forwarded an unclassified  “For Official Use Only” document. It is apparently from The Department of Homeland Security alleging national groups (that also have operations in NJ), and a local New Jersey group, are providing cover for “ecoterrorists” I have read similar reporting from two premiere civil rights organizations; Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center.

Contents from the document follow:

The term “ecological terrorists, 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.

From a security standpoint, the activities of the ecoterrorist movement are significant for several reasons and should be of interest to domestic security and law enforcement officials. First, Ecoterrorists have perpetrated more illegal acts commonly associated with terrorism on U.S. soil than any other known group, including al-Qaeda and radical Islamic militants.

In addition, various groups that constitute the ecoterrorist movement [Animal Liberation Front aka “ALF”] are also believed to interact, to one degree or another, with mainstream environmental and animal-rights organizations and/or individuals. Although none of the mainstream organizations officially endorses or participates in the illegal and violent activities championed by ecomilitants, some prominent members of mainstream groups are known to sympathize with the ecoterrorist movement.

Mainstream organizations with known or possible links to ecoterrorism include the following:

  • Greens
  • People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
  • The Sierra Club
  • National Wildlife Federation
  • Audubon Society
  • Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)
  • Friends of the Earth
  • Greenpeace
  • Earth First!
  • Coalition to Save the Preserve (CSP)
  • Environmental Task Force
  • The Frogs
  • In Defense of Animals
  • New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance
  • Fund for Animals
