FBI Investigating PETA

I found this story at the Cam Edwards blog this morning.

According to the Washington Post: “FBI counterterrorism investigators are monitoring domestic U.S. advocacy groups engaged in antiwar, environmental, civil rights and other causes, the American Civil Liberties Union charged yesterday as it released new FBI records that it said detail the extent of the activity. The documents, disclosed as part of a lawsuit that challenges FBI treatment of groups that planned demonstrations at last year's political conventions, show the bureau has opened a preliminary terrorism investigation into People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the well-known animal rights group based in Norfolk.”

Good.

PETA was found to have contributed funds to the ALF, a known domestic terror group, and associates itself with a wide variety of wackos.

The FBI has said that animal rights extremists and eco-communists are the number one domestic terror threat to our nation.

This story is coming out now because of the fight over the Patriot Act and the War on Terror. This is an old story. I heard about the FBI looking into PETA over 2 years ago.

This is a prime example of how another national issue eventually affects even your right to own a dog. The Left is against President Bush, the war in Iraq, and the War on Terror. So, they will work through any group, no matter how wacky, to build an opposition coalition to push their larger Leftist agenda.

The proof? This quote from the article:

"The disclosure comes amid recent revelations about the extent of domestic spying by the government after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."

So, the Washington Post will publish an article that is sympathetic with an extremist movement that has been demonstrated to have terrorist ties just to go after the Bush Administration and the war on terror. And don't forget, the ACLU is in on this, too. Read the article.

Great.

Who knows? Maybe next week we’ll see them writing sympathetic articles about the neo-Nazi’s, Ku Klux Klan, and Jeffrey Dahlmer. Anything is fair to the Washington Post (and New York Times… they did a similar story yesterday), if you believe in your cause, right?

This kind of thing emboldens the animal rights and eco-communist terrorists. The push is on to eliminate all domesticated animals. We are already on that slippery slope, folks.

I'm just connecting the dots.

That's what this blog is for.
