Will Potter: "Don't turn your back on the fear"

About 90 people came to Cowles Auditorium on the University of Minnesota's West Bank last Thursday to hear journalist and activist Will Potter speak about the "Green Scare" and the use of terrorism laws to silence political activists. Potter is an independent journalist who authors GreenIsTheNewRed.com and earlier in the day spoke at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul.

Potter was introduced by Dallas Rising of the Animal Rights Coalition, who told of how her organization was targeted in a terrorism investigation last year by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. The organization only found out about the investigation after being contacted by a Pioneer Press reporter, she said, and the "investigation" as she knew it mostly consisted of pages from the ARC website, including a nonviolence pledge and articles about animal abuse. The targeting of such groups shows that state and corporate interests "are trying to destroy the entire animal rights and environmental movement," not just underground groups, said Potter.

The Ramsey County sheriff's office revealed Tuesday that it has "researched" 13 "terroristic organizations," including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Minneapolis-based Animal Rights Coalition.

ARC President Charlotte Cozzetto called the news, revealed in a budget report to county commissioners, "silly," since the two-decade-old nonprofit "condemns violence against animals, including humans."

University student leaves school after Muslim threatens his service dog

Unconscionable. The student who made the threat should be expelled. But because this is an issue involving Islam, instead the multiculturalists start speaking soothingly about "misunderstanding, " which means surrender.
