  • 20 Years Later: a Look Back at the Unabomber Manifesto by Brett A
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 9, Issue 6 20 Years Later: A Look Back at the Unabomber Manifesto by Brett A. Barnett Abstract On September 19, 1995, The New York Times and The Washington Post submitted to “Unabomber” Theodore Kaczynski’s demand to publish his manifesto, a treatise that would come to be known as the “Unabomber Manifesto.” While Kaczynski has been serving a life sentence for the letter-bombing campaign that he perpetrated between 1979 and 1995, the radical environmentalist rhetoric contained within his manifesto has become available to an even wider audience of current and would-be environmental extremists than when it was first published. Given its availability online, the Unabomber Manifesto has become one of the most well-known rhetorical artifacts endorsing environmental extremism. Using Herbert Simons’ “rhetorical requirements” approach, this study demonstrates that the Unabomber Manifesto represents Kaczynski’s rhetorical efforts to animate like-minded environmental extremists. The article concludes by discussing how the Unabomber Manifesto resonated with some radical environmentalists and may have even served as a catalyst for later acts committed by U.S.-based environmental extremists. By utilizing a framework for examining the rhetoric of violent revolutionary social movements, this study provides further insight into what motivates environmental extremists of today.

Everyone On The Internet Made Fun Of The Patriots After The AFC Championship It's quite a feat for inmates with no access to books or the UPROXX Internet, often without tables in their cells. Reports that one book, of 212 pages, was written in seven hours, has only increased suspicions that the improbable treatises are often ghost­written or plagiarized. Under Romanian law, prisoners can have their sentences reduced by 30 days for every "scientific work" they publish, subject to a judge's decision on whether the book merits it. Prisoners pay publishing houses to print their works — though they won't be Mystery Solved: Reggie Wayne Reveals What Peyton Manning's 'Omaha' Audible found in any bookshop.

  • The Turner Diaries; Robbed & Counterfeited, Bombed Theaters & Synagogues, Killed Radio Host Alan Berg in 1984
    American Terrorism In the 1960s, H. Rap Brown, Justice Minister of the Black Panther Party, famously said, “Violence is American as cherry pie.” (He also said, "If America don't come around, we're gonna' burn it down.” Now Jamil Al-Amin, he’s serving life in prison after killing a deputy who tried to arrest him on a traffic warrant.) Americans like to view their country as exceptional among nations; in Puritan preacher John Winthrop’s sermon (1630): “We shall be like a City upon Hill, the eyes of all people are upon us.” But, does history reveal that the U.S. actually resembles many other nations with deep social divisions – along racial, ethnic, religious, and political lines – that periodically erupt into terrorist violence? Armed Struggles on American Soil Nonuniformed groups fought on U.S. soil in the 18th and 19th centuries In the American Revolutionary War, several irregular militias attacked British soldiers from ambushes: Ethan Allan’s Green Mountain Boys of Vermont Minutemen at Concord & Lexington, Mass.
