Every message has been conveyed, discussed, argued, and so on. What we haven't seen is much action. Marches, rallies and voting haven't accomplished anything.

Time to raise the stakes, do some more direct action and fuck shit up.

We know there are millions of Americans who oppose this war, many of them quite strongly. People are ready to fuck shit up. The leadership of the antiwar and peace movements have utterly failed, just like I've been saying they would for years.

Fuck the troops and the liberals who pander to that "support the troops" nonsense. The troops are volunteer murderers who don't deserve our support until they throw down their arms or refuse their orders.

You are just another privileged liberal hypocrite who claims to be concerned about something, but won't do what's necessary to make changes.

We have the numbers to completely fuck up the war supply chain. We can monkeywrench the war effort in our communities. This is possible and it's an outrage that the anti-war liberal hypocrites aren't trying it.

By the way, what's up with the anti-war movement's sudden shift to counter-recruiting? WTF is that about? Could it be about fucking up the military's supply chain?
