Wired magazine: The World of Terror (LMAO, we got a problem)
Edited on Tue May-24-05 12:52 PM by dhinojosa
If you get Wired Magazine (June 2005) there is a world map on Page 57. It shows the world map and icons representing what kind of terrorism plagues their countries. The icons are:

Far Right - icon of Hitler
Islamic Extremist - icon of Crescent and Star
Drug-Related and Organized Crime - icon of a Fingerprint
Nationalist/Separatist - icon of a black flag on a pole
Marxist/Leftist = icon of Che' Guevara

Anyways every country has an icon (almost). It is funny because as far as a attacks go you are safe in Libya, Mongolia, and North Korea. What is interesting is our attacks come from either Far Right or Islamic Extremist, so we not only have a crescent and a star in our country according to the map, but a Hitler too. This has me wondering, are we doing anything to get rid Right-wing terrorist in our country?

Are Republican Heroes in the USA.

Freepers worship T. McVey as he was one of theirs.

Edited to add the horrifying fact that Right Wing American Terrorists on not even on the list of internal threats - though left wing activists are.

Right-Wing Terror Movements Omitted from DHS Terrorist List
By Justin Rood, CQ Staff

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not list right-wing domestic terrorists and terrorist groups on a document that appears to be an internal list of threats to the nation’s security.

According to the list — part of a draft planning document obtained by CQ Homeland Security — between now and 2011 DHS expects to contend primarily with adversaries such as al Qaeda and other foreign entities affiliated with the Islamic Jihad movement, as well as domestic radical Islamist groups.

It also lists left-wing domestic groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), as terrorist threats, but it does not mention anti-government groups, white supremacists and other radical right-wing movements, which have staged numerous terrorist attacks that have killed scores of Americans. Recent attacks on cars, businesses and property in Virginia, Oregon and California have been attributed to ELF.

DHS did not respond to repeated requests for comment or confirmation of the document’s authenticity.

The conspirators behind the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people and wounded more than 500, were inspired by radical right-wing movements. Eric Rudolph, the man charged with carrying out the 1996 Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta, which killed one woman and injured more than 100, was a member of the radical anti-abortion group Army of God. Initially, Rudolph was the object of a massive North Carolina manhunt in connection with a Birmingham, Ala., abortion-clinic bombing that killed a police officer and seriously maimed a nurse...
