Green Scare

Maybe you've heard of the Green Scare, maybe not, but it's very akin to the Red Scare, and it's happening here and now. The U.S. Government has labeled all illegal direct action done by Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front as "eco-terrorist acts" bringing into being to a new genre of terrorism. Review the cases of Rod Coronado, Jeff Luers, or Eric McDavid (who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for what some call "thought crime"). I encourage you to look at supporteric.org to review his case in connection to others and in great detail.

Durring the Red Scare the U.S. sought to imprison Communist thinkers, now they seek to imprison Anarchist thinkers.

"The SHAC7 are 6 activists and a corporation, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty [or SHAC] USA Inc., that have been found guilty of multiple federal felonies for their alleged role in simply campaigning to close down the notorious animal testing lab, Huntingdon Life Sciences. Five of the individuals are currently in federal prison (the sixth, Darius Fullmer, has been released, after completing his one year sentence). They are not accused of actually smashing windows, liberating animals or even attending demonstrations, rather reporting on and encouraging others to engage in legal demonstrations and supporting the ideology of direct action."

"Eric McDavid is a political prisoner, currently serving a 20 year sentence in federal prison for “thought crime.” He was arrested in January 2006 (as part of the government's ongoing "Green Scare" campaign against environmental and animal rights activists) after being targeted by an undercover informant who formulated a crime and entrapped Eric in it. Eric was targeted by the state for his political beliefs, and his case is important for everyone who dares to stand up."
