Domestic Terrorism
“Liberal“ Miserablism in Action
Four large homes are burning at a “Street of Dreams” model home development north of Woodinville, and the Snohomish County District Seven Chief Rick Eastman told KING-TV that a sign saying ELF [Earth Liberation Front] was left at the scene.
...the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating.
No reports of injuries in the three-alarm Monday morning fire. Eastman says some of the homes were still under construction.
...Eastman says one is a total loss and two homes are substantially damaged. He says fires also were set at a total of six homes.
The Street of Dreams is an annual showcase of luxury homes in the Seattle area. The latest development is off Highway 522 at Echo Lake Drive.
The ELF or Earth Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for other arsons in the Northwest. A woman is on trial in Tacoma for one of those fires that was at the University of Washington in 2001.
There is a robust Ectopia movement in the Northwest. I was first exposed to it in Senior High School,decades ago, the notion that “we” in the Northwest had “more in common” with the folks of Northern California, Washington and British Columbia than the rest of the United States. That this was “natural”.
Brought up with a dedication to free speech, I’ve never attempted to silence proponents of this nutty belief. And to them it isn’t so nutty. What’s a free speech sundae without nuts?
Then you read stories like this. And you wonder, just how sane are these people? How will they treat people who expose their insanity? Do these people consider the consequences of their actions?
It isn’t just Evergreen College. I’m afraid this concept of a Northwest Ectopia is being taught in most public schools. Ever wonder what it would be like to be a fly on the wall of a San Francisco school room? Would you hear things like “we are smarter because we believe ‘these’ things”?
Talking to my sons there is a real, concrete disconnect between what they talk about as common sense and what they are made to parrot in their schools. Three and a half months to go before my youngest gets out of the public school system.
I will be relieved. For my sons.
