    You’re quite right, they never go after the politicians, or anyone with actual power. It’s always the average guy that ends up copping it.

      @Ilovethebomb @RightHandOfIkaros The higher level politicians are better defended. It is often necessary to strike at targets that are both high value and soft. For every general secure in their fortress there are a dozen war profiteers just begging to be dragged to the front to clear their own mines.

        People driving to work aren’t the enemy.

          @Ilovethebomb The big multinational oil companies ARE-and their execs and those of their major stockholders have names and addresses.

          Since peaceful protests are getting so much whining about an obstruction less than that created by a minor functionary’s motorcade and now prosecution, I suggested targetting those execs personally as we did over HLS. Tell Shell etc to “Ask the FBI about Huntingdon Life Sciences”(they are US based but have offices globally).

            I would respect that a lot more than what they’re currently doing.

      They go after politicians and people with actual power all the time. You ignored it because it didn’t inconvenience you.
