The following are some of the news reports that have surfaced recently:

On March 19 it was reported that Craig Rosebraugh, spokesperson for the Earth Liberation Front, has written a "manifesto" that calls for specific tactics and goals that dissidents should pursue in a domestic effort to wage war against the United States. The actions listed are urged on those who oppose the war in Iraq, and include wreaking physical damage to US media outlets, US economic institutions, and military facilities. Rosebraugh advocated striking at the heads of US corporations and at government officials in their homes and places of business. He called on activists to riot in the streets and to do all they can to shut down the government, in order to divert military action away from Iraq.

What is this? It is a group of animal rights terrorists expanding their agenda within the US, in an effort to weaken the government and to frighten and harass citizens. PETA's Ingrid Newkirk has also been doing her best to foster anti-social behavior as she wrote an open letter on her web site: she tells fellow activists not to cooperate with or even talk to, FBI agents about any past, present or future protest plans or events. Of course, it appears that Newkirk may be worried that some of her protégés may divulge information that could get her in trouble - for her assistance to animal rights arsonists such as Rod Coronado, whom she supported with legal fees when he was convicted of torching a Michigan University laboratory.

Very soon, it will be time for these and other animal rights criminal types to do their thing again; April 19 through April 27 is their "World Week for Animals in Laboratories" and it is expected that the focus will once again be on terrorizing employees of facilities such as universities, commercial medical labs, and even those government laboratories that use animals in research.
