Now the same loons are trying to pretend they can be obnoxious & viloent without being noticed. They pretend that the terrorist & violent actions they claim as theirs aren,t going to be investigated and infiltrated. They denounce infiltration by policing units who are trying to gain first hand knowledge as if the terrorists were being abused even though their own actions verify that police have reasons for keeping an eye on any vandal or terrorist using the rhetoric found in this thread.

Conspiracy Tour
Conspiracy Tour 2010 Slinking Into Your Town This Summer!
July 3, 2010
http://conspiracytour-tour-2010-slinking-into-your-town-this-summer/ Tour to Raise Support Has the State Up in Arms
The State of Minnesota alleges that organizing a convergence space for
protesters to have meetings, eat free meals, and check teh interwebs
(on computers that an FBI informant helpfully set up!) makes the RNC 8
guilty of conspiracy. The Federal government claims that Scott
DeMuth’s writings and associations suggest that he is an anarchist and
therefore a domestic terrorist, making him guilty of conspiracy under
the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.
We say organizing resistance to state repression isn’t conspiracy.
It’s survival. We say living our lives according to our principles
isn’t terrorism. It’s our right. We say we’ll continue organizing no
matter how much the state tries to destroy us and our communities. So if this is conspiracy, we say to you…Join the Conspiracy!
This summer, the Conspiracy Tour is going on a whirlwind, month-long
excursion across the continental United States to raise awareness of
and solidarity for political activists from Minneapolis, MN who are
facing severe state repression. Come join us in raising political
support and much-needed legal defense funds for the RNC 8 and Scott
DeMuth.
It’s been alleged that the Tour will include a musical puppet show, a
scintillating presentation on the charges the activists are facing,
and various (some would say nefarious) ways you can join the
Conspiracy to support targets of state repression. In addition to the
usual perks of joining a conspiracy, co-conspirators will be learning
ways to strengthen and protect their communities from future
incidences of state repression. You know, just in case.
Come find solidarity, strategizing, resistance, and community that the
state could only dream of! This will be a roadshow to remember even
before you read about it in your FBI file.

About the RNC 8
The RNC 8–Max Specktor (who will be speaking on the West Coast stops
of the tour), Erik Oseland, Eryn Trimmer, Garret Fitzgerald, Luce
Guillén-Givins, Monica Bicking, Nathanael Secor, and Rob Czernik–were
preemptively arrested in a series of raids by heavily armed SWAT teams
and other targeted arrests on the weekend before the Republican
National Convention in 2008. The criminal complaints are based on the
allegations of confidential reliable informants and an undercover
Ramsey County Sheriff’s deputy, who infiltrated the RNC Welcoming
Committee and conducted surveillance on the activists for about a
year. Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner initially slapped them
with “terrorism” enhancements in the first known use of Minnesota’s
version of the PATRIOT Act. After a successful pressure campaign
against Gaertner’s gubernatorial bid, she dismissed the terrorism
enhancement charges. The 8 still face felony charges of conspiracy to
commit riot in the 2nd degree and conspiracy to commit criminal damage
to property in the 1st degree. Their joint trial will begin on October
25, 2010 and could last up to two months.
About Scott DeMuth
In November 2009, Scott DeMuth and Carrie Feldman were subpoenaed to a
federal grand jury in Iowa investigating a 2004 Animal Liberation
Front raid at the University of Iowa. Though they had no information
about the incident, they both refused to cooperate with the grand jury
on principle and were jailed for civil contempt. Carrie was held for
four months before being released, and will be speaking about her
experience on this tour. Two days after being jailed, Scott was
indicted for conspiracy under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. He
has been released with conditions pending trial and has been
re-indicted twice in response to his attorneys’ motions to dismiss. In
March 2010, the Utah house of well-known animal rights activist and
former political prisoner Peter Young was raided on a federal search
warrant from Iowa. The raid happened only days before Carrie’s release
and lists Scott and others by name.
