EXCLUSIVE(TPM): DHS Warns Companies Of Evil Terrorist "Flyer Distribution"
EXCLUSIVE: DHS Warns Companies Of Evil Terrorist "Flyer Distribution"
By Justin Rood - April 14, 2006, 11:50 AM
You gotta see this to believe it.

In a bulletin issued yesterday, the Homeland Security Department warns U.S. businesses of the threats they face from animal rights group and "eco-terrorists." Such radical extremist groups may use several tactics -- each devastating in its own way -- including:

- "organizing protests"
- "flyer distribution"
- "inundating computers with e-mails"
- "tying up phone lines to prevent legitimate calls"
- "sending continuous faxes in order to drain the ink supply from company fax machines"

That's right. If the ink runs out of your fax machine, that means the terrorists have won.

3. Got Bin Laden? Got the Anthrax guy? Oh wait, I guess Corporate
America, and hence, DHS is more worried about eco-protesters than real terrorists. I keep forgetting the number question with Bush's America -- who profits?

5. the 'case study' where a crashed server 'cost the company $1.25 million'
if a company is being charged that much to re-boot and reinstall backups -- then the real threat to the company is the idiot managing their IT.

6. Unbelieveable!
One needs to look no further for proof of the government using anti-terror laws to further the corporate agenda.
How low will they go?

Organizing protests and flyer distributions my ass!

8. So DHS should press charges against the TERRORIST RNC PHONE-JAMMERS
who tied up legitimate DNC phone lines to prevent legitimate voting calls.

9. GOP are terrorists then!
The last three tactics are the GOP's main strategies in their playbook.

- "inundating computers with e-mails"
- "tying up phone lines to prevent legitimate calls"
- "sending continuous faxes in order to drain the ink supply from company fax machines"

...and since there is an investigation into the election day phone jamming by the Repukes, if convicted, does that mean they're officially "terrorists" and can we send them to Gitmo indefinitely?
