Cecil was murdered. As are millions of animals every day at the hands of greedy and cruel people. We in the movement see the hypocrisy of people wailing over Cecil’s death and then sitting down to meals of calf corpses or butchered baby pigs. We marvel that they do not see that all life is…
All species will act to protect their own against attack by other species. In this respect, humans act like all other animals. A bear will protect her cub from a human, and a human will protect her child from a bear. What distinguishes humans from all other life on Earth are the belief systems…
ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), also known as ISIL (Islamic State in the Levant), is attempting to establish a theocracy in the region. While the tactics of ISIS differ substantially from those of right wing Christian fundamentalists in the US, there is little difference in their ultimate goals. ISIS fundamentalists want government imposed…
My recent article, Protect Animals And The Environment. Shoot Republicans., ignited a firestorm in the right wing blogosphere. I have received death threats (none of which I find credible) among the ignorant and bigoted comments posted to the article.

Facetious? Yes, but just barely. I use Republicans as the foil in this article, but the analysis applies to conservative and centrist parties around the globe. The enemy of animals and the environment is capitalism. And capitalism is the status quo. It is defended by Republicans and conservatives. Republican leaders are shills for Wall Street,…

Tasha Sainsbury, my editor here and my strong right arm for the past ten years, pointed out an inconvenient truth: the Armory of the Revolution is a one-man band. And it cannot grow in reach and influence without help. On average, I write an article a day. We are approaching one thousand articles! There are…
Historically, revolutions occur when government oppression is sufficiently severe to cause the oppressed to take up arms against the oppressors. The American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Bolshevik Revolution are all such examples. No oppression in human history begins to rival the horrors that are inflicted upon animals under capitalism. Sixty billion animals are…
