Eco-terrorists Attack Free Market System

Eco-terrorism is becoming commonplace. They are attacking our liberties and the American economy. For Texas CSE members and friends who participated in the counter rally at the ExxonMobil shareholder meetings, we well recall the radical enviro terrorists being picked up in SUV’s last year. These are anti-American, anti-capitalism radicals who sabotage business and industry and demonize the American way of life.

You may have heard about the eco-terrorism last week in a California suburb in which fires destroyed dozens of SUV’s and a warehouse at an auto dealership in California, and vehicles there and at three other dealerships were spray-painted with slogans such as “Fat, Lazy Americans.”

The radical group Earth Liberation Front reportedly issued an unsigned e-mail Friday calling the incidents “ELF actions,” and the FBI is investigating the dealership fire as domestic terrorism.

The underground group has claimed responsibility for a slew of arson attacks against commercial entities that members say damage the environment. It is suspected in a multimillion-dollar arson fire Aug. 1 that destroyed a five-story apartment complex under construction in San Diego, though an ELF e-mail claimed the group had not been in contact with those responsible in that case.

CSE has consistently supported consumer choice and free markets.
