Counteractivist Strikes in Broad Daylight, Escapes Undetected

In a couple of daring counteractions occurring within minutes of each other this morning, a counteractivist struck two Washington, DC locations just blocks from the US Capitol. When it was over, the counteractivist had vanished, but the evidence of the counteractivism remained in plain view (see photos).

This e-VeriFILE "prod card", discovered Wednesday morning on the counter at a Washington, DC 7-Eleven, has been called the modern counteractivist’s "calling card".

Just down the block, and only minutes before the 7-11 strike, a Starbucks found its counter the scene of a similar action.

Had this free decal been on display in its front window Wednesday morning, Starbucks might have avoided the counteraction, say experts on counteractivism.

The counteractivist’s "calling card" is available at the e-VeriFILE website in packs of 50 for a $25.00 donation.

Starbucks and 7-Eleven

In an October, 2006 VDARE piece, Defending Starbucks, James Fulford noted that at Starbucks "they hire Americans who can speak English, unlike 7-Eleven, which spends millions lobbying for open borders, and has bad coffee 24 hours a day."

Less than two years later, precisely those two businesses were again targets in the nation’s ongoing war between the pro-borders and anti-borders forces. "The symmetry is uncanny," said one Washingtonian, who was panhandling in front of the 7-Eleven at the time of the counteraction.

But a local teenager filling out an employment application at the Starbucks disagreed. "I don’t think it’s uncanny at all," said KeJuan Simms, a senior at nearby McKinley Technology High School. "It’s not even symmetrical," he added, noting the divergent hiring practices between the two companies.

"Look, yo," he said, holding out his just finished Starbucks job application and pointing to the part that required proof of employment eligibility.

A table of three young women, who said they were "Hill staffers", weren’t surprised that the two local businesses had been targeted in that morning’s counteraction. "We walk down here because we like the coffee and because Magic Johnson is the owner," said former Texan Emily Sanders. "But it would be great if Starbucks were registered with the e-VeriFILE program and had the e-VeriFILE decal on display in their window. Then we could feel twice as good about coming here. It’s their own fault, the dumbasses."

Her friend, former Oregonian Lisa Weaver, agreed. "I hope there are counteractions at Starbucks all over the country until the corporate headquarters gets with the program," she said. "We go out of our way to support corporations that act responsibly."

All three made gagging sounds when asked about the coffee at the 7-Eleven down the block. "It sucks as bad as their hiring practices," said Ms. Sanders.
