TALON is the new Conflict Gypsy

03.04.13

Welcome to the new of home of the CG archiving project, The TALON Conspiracy. In an effort to focus more on our mission of preserving militant earth and animal liberation publications and reporting news relevant to those struggles, we have changed our name. The controversy over our old URL effected us on many levels, not the least of which was our genuine remorse at offending members of our community.

So, why the TALON name? A while ago a small group of us thought it would be funny to throw the FBI’s portrayal of radicals back at them. Thinking of cartoonish paramilitary organizations like GI Joe’s COBRA or Sgt. Fury’s HYDRA, we incorporated a group called TALON and gave its officers macho, militaristic names like HIPPO COMMANDER. We just thought that it was hilarious that some agent out there would have to investigate the identity of the ELEPHANT HEAD or JACKAL MINION. The joke had a pretty short shelf life, we forgot about it almost as soon as TALON was invented. When it was time to change the name of our archive though, well, we pulled it back out of the box and ran with it. Some of our pages will contain crazed, comic book villain style ramblings, but we assure you that it is all just in good fun.

We hope that you will enjoy some of the new features of the site! You can subscribe to posts via e-mail using the form in the left hand tool bar, navigate our most popular titles and categories in the drop down bar, and soon we will have new items available in an improved store.

Thank you all for your support over the last few years. Feel free to send us feedback about the new site HERE, and also let us know about any glitches which may have occurred during our move.

In closing, TAAAAAALOOOON!!!
