Poem about the war being waged on environmentalists in the US, most pointedly in Oregon.

Our Green Guantanamo

Our Green Guantanamo

 

Terror Suspects – Green? Do you publish newsletters, attend protests, speak at events – you have been warned!

Environmentalists – On America’s Most Wanted …

Republicans – flout the First and Fifth Amendments

Rat or face the maximum sentence – deals for co-operators

Outlaw the Opposition – SHAC 7, charged with multiple felonies for publically opposing Huntingdon’s Life Sciences

Round ‘em up – like Salem and the McCarthy witch hunts – we have the FBI’s No Contact/Witness List

Inquisition – runaway Grand Juries, Kangaroo Courts and shouts of Treason!

Subpoenas – Grand Juries sniff out suspects, the Environmental Movement subpoenaed en masse

Trial – No Fair Trial – jurors are not pre-screened for bias

Guatanamo Bay comes to Eugene, Oregon complete with Green Boiler-suits

 

Green Scare

Beware

Don’t stop
