Video: Which of these is the number one domestic terrorism threat?

I was playing around with YouTube’s new “SearchStories” channel, and gave it a shot by focusing on misplaced government priorities. And it’s 35 seconds! Let me know what you think.

Green Scare Benefit CD Featuring Peregrine and Auryn

Peregrine and Auryn have put out a Green Scare benefit CD, and were kind enough to offer a box of them for sale on GreenIsTheNewRed.com. “Shackles, interrogation, their prisons, their profits, their jails detain, but they can’t kill this rage.” Only $8, postage paid, and every dollar goes to raising awareness of the Green Scare […]
