we are not extreme, but the rhetoric is
(from guest blogger Vegina – musings from a feminist vegan rabble rouser…)
Check out this power point from the US State Department’s Overseas Security Advisory Board. (FYI, I covered the faces of all activists since they did not give their consent to be in this slideshow; otherwise it is in the original). This presentation is geared toward corporations that rely on or support animal exploitation.
This power point was first released publicly on GreenIsTheNewRed.com http://www.greenisthenewred.com/blog/state-department-powerpoint-corporations/560/. Will Potter does an excellent job of covering the important political issues surrounding this issue, so check it out.
The logic and rhetoric demonstrated here is absurd. Be sure to download the slide show and read the “notes” section for the full “WTF” effect. Some of the most ridiculous parts of this slideshow include a fallacious link between SHAC and the ALF and highlighting the mainstream U.S. Animal Rights conference as a place where “extremists” gather.
