Eco-terror leader incites war protestors to disrupt our nation (3/28/2003)

The former spokesperson for Earth Liberation Front (ELF), a noted domestic terror organization, has called on war protestors to "severely disrupt" the overall functioning of our nation's society.

In a manifesto published on politically radical Internet sites, Craig Rosebraugh advocated violence and destruction as he instructed activists who oppose the U.S. military engagement in Iraq to "engage in strategies and tactics that severely disrupt the war machine, the U.S. economy, and the overall functioning of U.S. society."

Rosebraugh claims that unless protest tactics like marches, picketing, rallies and civil disobedience serve to disrupt the functioning of the political system and the economy, they are "pointless, and perhaps even counterproductive."
He urged activists to riot, attack financial centers and media outlets, harass political leaders, target U.S. military establishments and to refuse to support America's troops. He encourages property destruction, online sabotage and tactics to knock media networks off the air.

"An atmosphere of severe unrest, if manufactured properly, will force the U.S. government to place military resources in the streets of the United States, will threaten the economy of the United States, and ultimately create a political atmosphere unfavorable for Bush to continue on with the war," wrote Rosebraugh.

The message of social disruption and destruction that Rosebraugh issued to war protestors is the same message he continues to send to extreme environmental advocates.

Recently, Rosebraugh told Oregon's Willamette Week, "Terrorism can be OK, can be justified." He asserted that political activists must use a range of tactics, legal and illegal, violent and nonviolent.
