     Due to the leftist indoctrination of universities, we have a
     generation of moronic neo commies who want to dismantle
     the greatest and fairest state on earth.    ---post at Lucianne.com

The Fifth Column Left Declares War - By David Horowitz


We have long warned on these pages that the peace movement is not about
peace, that it is a fifth column communist movement to destroy America and
give victory to our totalitarian enemies. Now this Fifth Column is preparing
to move into action to attempt to defeat America in its war against Saddam.
 
On the day after the U.S. military action in Iraq begins, the Fifth
Column is preparing to begin its own war at home. The plan is to cause major
disruptions -illegal in nature- in cities across the country to disrupt the
flow of normal civic life. These actions will tie up Homeland Security
forces and create a golden opportunity for domestic terrorists. The Fifth
Column left is also planning to invade military bases. Here is a report from
(set italic) Salon.com (end italic)'s Michelle Goldberg:
 
(set bold) [Camp] Vandenberg is about 50 miles north [of] Santa Barbara,
Calif.  In a few days, activists will start converging on a nearby four-acre
plot of landŠ. They're going to camp there and train to breach the base's
security and possibly vandalize some of its equipment. The [leader of the
activists] describes the base as "the electronic nerve center of the
global-surveillance-targeting, weapons-guidance, and military-command
satellites that will largely direct the war." The base is 99,000 square
acres, with a perimeter running through rugged, wooded terrain. "If people
are committed and determined and in halfway decent physical shape, it is
possible to get in, because it's enormous and much of the land is still
fairly wild," he says.  Within the base, [the action leader] says, are
"major off-limits security zones," that, when breached, "set off a series of
responses in their own security procedures which require disruption and
partial shut down of regular activities," which means the base can't operate
at full capacity. [1] (end bold)
 
Here is the Internet call to arms for New York City from a group calling
itself "No Blood for Oil" (caps in original)-
 
The No Blood For Oil! Resistance Campaign is calling on all those who oppose
the war, to join us in making the first day of concentrated US attack on
Iraq an International Day of Civil Resistance! We'll be rallying in New
York's Times Square at 5 p.m. that day --or 5 p.m. the next day, if the US
assault begins at night-- to inaugurate a campaign of civil resistance that
will continue as long as U.S. aggression does. THIS MEANS NO BUSINESS AS
USUAL! WE JOIN WITH MILLIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO CALL FOR A 'WORK
STOPPAGE' ON THIS DAY! NO WORK, NO SCHOOL, NO BUSINESS AS USUAL!
(http://www.nbfo.net/)

Similar actions are planned for San Francisco (http://actagainstwar.com/),
Los Angeles (http://infoshop.org/octo/wto_blackbloc.html), and the nation's
capital, Washington DC (http://dc.indymedia.org/) The DC plan calls for five
different actions designed to cause major domestic disruption:
 
     (set bold) These will be direct action oriented, unpermitted
     demonstrations to interrupt Business as Usual in the Capital
     of Capital and to raise the social costs of the US Government
     to Wage war on Iraq and the world... (end bold)

 
The above actions will be carried out by the main forces of the Fifth Column
communist "peace movement." The violence will be spear-headed by the
anarchist "Black Bloc." . . . <snip>

The military authorities at Vandenberg Air Force base have already announced
that they will use deadly force to repel the saboteurs. Legislators should
take forceful measures as well. They could begin by increasing the penalties
on existing legislation for this kind of civil disobedience and make them
mandatory. This will deter some activists and take others out of commission
for the duration of the war. We suggest making this civil disruption during
a Yellow Alert a felony with a mandatory 6 months in a confined facility and
$10,000 fine. If the crime involves violence or is committed during an
Orange Alert, we suggest increasing the penalties to one year in jail and a
$50,000 fine. If the alert is Red, 2 years in jail and a $100,000 fine. Much
larger fines should be assessed on groups that sponsor these actions.
 
Congress should also look to reactivating sedition laws that would meet the
threat posed by the deadly seriousness of the anti-American Fifth Column.
These activists are not playing games. They have dedicated their lives to
the service of Communist regimes and anti-American causes. They are the
fruit of more than thirty years of leftist attacks on this country. Now the
international terrorists have provided them with their dream: the war has
finally come home.
 
The attempt to sabotage America's war effort is not dissent and should be a
wake-up call to all those critics of the Justice Department's efforts to
protect us by surveilling anti-American groups. Clearly, both the FBI and
our security laws are well behind the curve, since these saboteurs have not
been deterred from their deadly ambitions. Criminal subversion and sedition
are not protected by the Bill Rights and the perpetrators should be
punished harshly enough to remove them from the field of battle.
