Ecotage uses direct action, or monkey wrenching, to prevent environmental destruction. Mainstream conservation efforts were viewed by many environmentalists as having failed from compromise inspiring the birth of radicalized groups. This eventually transformed conservationists into radicals. Green Peace inspired radical environmentalism by civil disobedience, media campaigns and direct action tactics, but remained mainstream. Earth First’s! philosophy is based on a no compromise approach.

  • The Strategy of Radical Environmentalism
    Journal of Military and Strategic Studies, Summer 2008, Vol. 10, Issue 4. THROWING A WRENCH INTO THINGS: THE STRATEGY OF RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM Teale Phelps Bondaroff, University of Calgary Introduction: The current focus on Islamic terrorism has resulted in a lack of awareness of other forms of terrorism. Similarly, the focus on external non-conventional threats to security has meant that domestic threats are being overlooked. One such instance is that of the threat posed by radical environmentalist organizations, such as Earth First! (EF!)1, the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), and the Sea Shepherds Society. These organizations, which premise themselves upon the assertion of “No compromise in the Defense of Mother Earth!” have declared themselves Mother Nature’s armies and navies and represent the militarization of the environmental movement.2 The operations in which they engage, of which there have been more than 600 in the United States and Canada since 1996, have been responsible for an estimated $100 million in damages.3 Though the impact of these operations pale in comparison to those of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon in 2001, they represent a growing trend in environmental organizations, and a growing non-conventional societal threat. The threat is especially real in Canada where many groups find their origins in Canadian-born organizations such as Greenpeace. 1 The name of the ‘Earth First!’ includes the exclamation mark, which places emphasis on their commitment to action. 2 Jonathan I.

Along with others, I organized to try and get the high school that I attended to choose more humane, alternative ways of studying the anatomy of a cat rather than dissecting the dead animal in this biology class.

  • Ecoterrorism: Environmental and Animal-Rights Militants in the United States
    UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 07 May 2008 UNIVERSAL ADVERSARY DYNAMIC THREAT ASSESSMENT Ecoterrorism: Environmental and Animal-Rights Militants in the United States EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The term ecological terrorists,1 or ecoterrorists, refers to those individuals who independently and/or in concert with others engage in acts of violence and employ tactics commonly associated with terrorism to further their sociopolitical agenda aimed at animal and/or environmental protection. The ecoterrorist movement is a highly decentralized transnational network bound and driven by common ideological constructs that provide philosophical and moral justification for acts of violence against what it perceives to be the destructive encroachment of modern society on the planet’s habitat and its living organisms.2 The ecoterrorist movement represents the fringe element of the broader ecological and animal- rights community that argues that the traditional methods of conserving and preserving the Earth are insufficient, and is willing to use violence as the principal method of the planet’s defense against anyone “guilty” of exploiting and destroying the Earth. (U//FOUO) The overall strength of the movement is impossible to determine given that individuals who take part in ecoterrorist activities generally lack a common profile and exercise a high level of operational security. Nonetheless, ecoterrorists are known to have a global presence and are particularly active in the industrialized West (North America and Western Europe). In the continental United States (CONUS), militant ecological and animal-rights activists are geographically dispersed and operate in both urban and rural settings. The movement has demonstrated a great deal of tactical and strategic sophistication.

  • Notes from Briana Waters Trial Day 2
    Notes from Briana Waters Trial Day 2 U.S. District Court of Western Washington (Tacoma) Judge Burgess presiding (scribe’s note: All remarks are paraphrased, not verbatim as spoken. Because of the sheer volume of information and the desire to make it public as soon as possible, punctuation and grammar protocol may be ignored outright.) Some abbreviations will be used throughout this text. The scribe does not guarantee correct spellings or transcriptions of names and other proper nouns. DEF: Defense The defendant, Briana waters is represented by attorneys Neal Fox and Robert Bloom US: Prosecution The plaintiff in this case is the United States government, represented by federal prosecutors Andrew Friedman and Mark Barlett. Mr. Bartlett, in my observation, did not present remarks, evidence or make motions, so US in this text refers to words and actions of Mr. Friedman. Sitting with the prosecuting attorneys was also FBI agent Ted Halla. The proceedings began before the jury was brought in. US: Yesterday we heard for the first time that Mr. Fox anticipates going into the area that the FBI might have changed or tailored witness testimony if the agents were concerned about the OPR Office of Professional Responsibility or a civil lawsuit. The defense needs to be aware that if this issue is raised, it is the government’s strong position that this would open up the door to airing in court what agents knew - especially Agent Halla – which overwhelmingly leads to guilt, but may not be admissible. For instance, Chelsea Gerlach says that she and the defendant cooperated on writing a communiqué, and that Briana obtained a car for one of the Oregon actions.

  • The Earth Liberation Front and Environmental Terrorism
    THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT AND ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM Stefan H. Leader* Peter Probst Introduction In the wake of September 11, 2001, Americans can be forgiven for thinking that terrorist threats come from abroad and have a distinctly Islamic character. In fact, homegrown terrorists of all kinds continue to flourish in the US. Case in point: The Earth Liberation Front (ELF). ELF has become the most active and the most destructive environmental terrorist group in the United States. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Earth Liberation Front, together with its sister organization, the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), in the past 6 years has committed more than 600 criminal acts that have resulted in more than $43 million in damages.1 Moreover, attacks have been perpetrated in virtually every region of the US against a wide variety of targets. Origins The Earth Liberation Front was established in 1992 in Brighton, England and dedicated to saving the environment. It was founded by the more radical members of the activist environmental group,” Earth First!” who believed criminal acts would better advance their environmentalist agenda than would legal protest. The American branch announced its creation in October 1996 with an arson attack on a US Forest Service truck in Oregon’s Willamette National Forest. The decoupling of ELF from Earth First enabled the two organizations to focus on their respective constituencies. Earth First recruits those who believe in peaceful, non-violent protest. The ELF, in contrast, draws those who favor direct action and revolutionary violence. The goals of the two groups are similar.

  • Constructing the Earth Liberation Front
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE RHETORIC OF ECO-REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVISM: CONSTRUCTING THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT Jade Olson, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017 Directed by: Professor James F. Klumpp and Professor Shawn J. Parry-Giles Department of Communication In the mid-1990s, a new voice of environmental protest emerged in the United States. Frustrated by the failures of both mainstream and radical environmental activism to protect the Earth from the catastrophic effects of industrial capitalism, a small group of clandestine activists identifying as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) utilized vandalism, arson, and other means of property destruction to articulate a rhetoric of revolutionary environmental resistance. An unlikely coalition of voices from industry, government, and the established environmental movement emerged to oppose ELF, painting the activists as dangerous eco-terrorists. This study examines the dialectical contest to provide the dominant public account of ELF’s enigmatic protest rhetoric. This rhetoric is referred to in the study as eco-revolutionary activism, for it rejected even the radical discourses of its ideological predecessors such as Earth First!, embracing instead a holistic critique of capitalism, the state, and contemporary civilization. The study traces the dialectic that unfolded through a series of key moments in the rise and fall of ELF in the public imaginary. ELF made national headlines in 1998 when affiliated activists set fire to seven buildings at a Colorado ski resort as a protest against the resort’s planned expansion into ecologically fragile habitat. In the years that followed, ELF activists went on to commit more than 100 protest actions, causing millions of dollars in economic damage and prompting foundational questions about the meaning of violence, the limits of protest, and the responsibility of individuals to combat harmful systems.

  • Terrorism 2000 2001 Fbi Publication #0308 TerrRism 2000/2001
    U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation TERRORISM 2000 2001 FBI PUBLICATION #0308 TERRRISM 2000/2001 FORWARD EXPANDING FOCUS As the events of September 11, 2001, demonstrated with brutal clarity, the terror- ist threats facing the United States are formidable. Between 1991 and 2001, 74 terrorist incidents were recorded in the United States. During this same time frame, an additional 62 terrorist acts being plotted in the United States were pre- vented by U.S. law enforcement. As troubling as these statistics are, they only hint at the full scope of the terrorist threat confronting U.S. interests. For every successful terrorist attack mounted in the United States, nearly 20 (19.83) anti- U.S. attacks are carried out around the world. Between 1996 and 2001, these overseas attacks killed 75 Americans and wounded an additional 606. During the past two decades, the U.S. Government has expanded the FBI’s authority to investigate terrorist activities against U.S. interests overseas. Specifically, the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorist Act of 1986, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, and Presidential Decision Directive 39 have served to extend FBI investigative authority beyond U.S. borders when U.S. interests are harmed or TERRORISM threatened. Since 1984 the FBI has carried out over 300 extraterritorial investigations, in close cooperation with the U.S. Department of State and with the assistance of host 2000 governments. These investigations include some of the FBI’s /2001 most complex and high-profile cases, including investigations into the September 11 attacks, as well as the bombings of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, two U.S.
