		<description>I wonder what the dynamics will be if next week another IRS building is targeted, this time by a Kossack?</description>

		<description>--and so, Dan, in answer to your question re: &quot;the number of businesses that were not audited because of this act of terror&quot; -- it would seem that JS was rather hoping for a more robust, draconian reaction to his terrorist act instead of a tail-between-the-legs reaction from the gov/IRS.

Of course, his wish and what really happens over the next year or so might not align.</description>

		<description>&quot;I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.

I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are.&quot;

-- from the actual e-manifesto. [1]

I think, given his several references to &quot;Big Brother&quot;, and so much else about his letter, his rhetorical parallelism at the very end of the letter using communism and capitalism (the two quotes above are verbatim), are used to equate the badness of communism and the badness of capitalism.  The primary similarity would be that communism and capitalism, in operation, function much the same -- someone takes away from one person to give to another -- although the parties who lose and receive might be different.  In communism, a government does the taking and giving; in capitalism, the greedy powerful decide who are the gullible and thus take from the gullible and give to themselves.

As for his motivation, the section quoted above seems to be rather clear and blunt.  There is a 4GW/5GW whiff of something in it, insofar as 4GWers egg on their opponents hoping their opponents overreact and thus lose moral credibility and 5GWers might use jujitsu to cause an opponent to slice off his own feet.

		<description>PS,

He&#039;s not said so directly, but after I stumbled across the articles about Otto [1] and Gregor [2], I was struck that I could easily predict HS&#039;s take on any major issue by asking myself, what would a Strasserite say?
