The Animal Liberation Front took action on 18 occasions in 2003, the same number as in 2002. The Earth Liberation Front took action on 13 occasions, mirroring the number of actions in 2002. Other groups claiming responsibility for actions in 2003 included the Revolutionary Cells – Animal Liberation Brigade, the Direct Action Front, and the Vegan Dumpster Militia. Multiple actions were similarly claimed in communiques by anonymous groups. What increased dramatically in 2003 were the overall damage totals as a result of direct action. The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) alone caused upwards of $55 million in damages in a series of anti-development and SUV dealership attacks that captured headlines across North America. It’s likely that the damage totals for economic sabotage and clandestine direct action in 2003 were close to $60 million, though the exact figure is difficult to determine.

  • Video Terrorism
    VIDEO TERRORISM 9/11 (2002) This heartfelt documentary was created by award-winning French filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, who simply set out to make a movie about a rookie NYC fireman and ended up filming the tragic event that changed our lives forever. The program includes additional footage and interviews with the heroic firefighters, rescue workers and the Naudet brothers, providing exclusive insight to their extraordinary firsthand experience of the day's events. 9/11: Press for Truth (2006) Based partly on Paul Thompson's book The Terror Timeline, this documentary chronicles the efforts of family members who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attack as they hound powerful officials to uncover the truth. The families succeed in generating an independent investigation, but more questions than answers emerge as the film spotlights secretive politicians, buried news items, government press conferences lacking substance and more. 444 Days to Freedom: What Really Happened in Iran (1997) Relive the dramatic events surrounding the infamous 444-day Iranian hostage crisis when, in 1979, a gang of radical Islamic students demanding the return of the Shah took prisoner Tehran's U.S. embassy staff. Despite the captors' eventual retreat, Jimmy Carter's presidency was brought to ruin and America's spirit was broken. Using rare archival footage, interviews and revealing documents, this film chronicles the hostages' harrowing ordeal. 60 Minutes - In Search of Bin Laden (September 25, 2005) Four years after 9/11, why hasn't Osama bin Laden been caught? Steve Kroft interviews Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf, who says bin Laden is still revered by many in his country.

  • Bloodlines of Illuminati By: Fritz Springmeier, 1995
    Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way of life.
