a week after the five minutes of wall baubles on the global markets almost a billion in paris ignore the advice of investors on house and say you can say from going under i'm going out of political stop wouldn't want in the economic government or the refusing to respond to a very nice miracle. an aviation sensation russians fifth generation finds out has made his international debut at moscow. by isn't flying out a fourth card has acknowledged takes to the skies that are. now the story of the equally warriors who put themselves on the line to protect the balls environment special report on next. one o'clock in the morning me and friend left to the romania car dealership

we went in america darkness made sure that there were no people around the buildings that were nearby were they came. and we started a fire that resulted in forty thousand dollars with the damage to three trucks unfortunately it's taken me to start a fire and found guilty of several different crimes he sentenced to twenty years before people want to pay attention to things that i had to say or people like me had to say. should i stay here for the duration of my sentence the entire world and life that i would have thought to this point will be non-existent twenty one was from that's hard to swallow.

since that's real difficult but i can't look back knowing what i know how and what i had in my heart. crewed trying. this was the longest prison sentence for any environmental an animal rights activists in oregon the average sentence for arson if you're convicted of arson is two years so for jeff to get twenty three years for the same exact crime based on his political beliefs was outrageous and completely unheard of i think that the sentence that the judge imposed was meant to be an extreme deterrent to any other activists who had ever considered this form of economic sabotage as as a sign of their protest. when his appeal was

finally heard the decision was declared unlawful and the sentence was ruled as on just after nine and a half years of prison he began his life as a free man at the age of thirty one having spent all of his twenty's in a maximum security prison. florida going to prison when i used to travel whenever possible i would have rains and in fact just about a mile about where is where we used to hop out of eugene and we would hide in the bush is a way for a train moving just slightly slower than this. i mean my buddies would load all of our stuff on i carry my dog underneath my arm and we take the train down to san francisco. that used to be where all the tree sitters from fall creek used to go on

vacation. we live in a world that's forgotten how to survive without industry we've forgotten how to be a part of nature and because of that we've lost a piece of ourselves we have a system of government and an economic system that is mathematically impossible the whole theory behind capitalism is infinite expansion infinite growth of profits and you can't do that when you live on

a planet with finite resources what happens if we don't resist is we completely lose our souls whether you're using legal or extra legal tactics to. resist corporate dominance and government oppression and put a stop to climate change those it's justifiable resisting this is justifiable. when nine eleven happened the bush administration could not find any terrorists bin laden was out hiding they couldn't find anyone to bring into the courts of justice so that they could claim we've got terrorists and so in the wake of nine eleven even though all of these crimes occurred prior to nine eleven we all of a sudden heard the drums beating of this anti-terrorist montra and because the feds

couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people who are accused of property sabotage and label them as terrorists is a direct action or over considered a registered domestic terrorist in this country with. inches and i have no idea how big it is. i can't do the things that used to do but what i can do is share my story of sharing my experiences and continue to advocate for the world that i want to see and continue to try to create real and meaningful change. today we're announcing the addition of the end you'll. go to the f.b.i.'s most wanted terrorist list. wanted for his alleged involvement in the bombing of two biotechnology facilities in the san francisco bay area san diego's criminal acts of

violence were the mystic acts of terror planned out and possibly intended to take lives destroy property and create economic hardship for the companies involved the f.b.i. is announcing today a reward of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars for information leading to the location and arrest of daniel injurious san diego animal rights and environmental extremists remain a significant threat based on the economic damage and widespread nature of this threat. these extremists have been responsible for over one thousand eight hundred criminal acts and more than one hundred ten million dollars in damages. when i tell people that i was thrown in jail for refusing to testify

at this thing that a grand jury where wasn't even a trial they don't believe me they say no they can't do that that's unconstitutional or that's that's not allowed in this country this is a free country. people say that all the time. so i was in nursing school it was late may two thousand and six and these f.b.i. agents showed up at my door and gave me these papers that said i was subpoenaed to a grand jury i was targeted because i had a history of environmental activism and but specifically because i you know how dissociation this with people who they thought may have been involved with crimes i knew that

a grand jury was this court hearing where they're going to ask you ask me all these questions about anything they want to and there was not going to be a judge there and i wouldn't have been able to have a lawyer present and i was pretty sure they were going to ask me about these people and what i knew about them and if i knew any other people who may know them and you know things along those lines they i think they were investigating the operation backfire investigation the only thing i know is they put gave me showed me a picture of this one person. and said you know this person and at that point i said i'm not cooperating. so they sent me to jail and they ended up keeping me there for six months without being charged with a crime at all

i still support back everybody who's working on those issues but i for my own mental health i had to step back and and take a deep breath and a look at. what was going on around me and rethink what i was doing with my life. operation back far was an attempt by law enforcement of congress working jointly with corporations and corporate mr groups to not only try and stop individuals who

are committing these actions but to also make sure that public opinion did not support these organizations and nature of these movements as a whole were completely destroyed completely destroyed so there's no trace of any kind of resistance no threat to the u.s. economy no threats to corporations. who real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle and the children who plant trees on the weekend with their cub scout troops. and the fathers like me who might buy a hybrid car that's the green you haven't had a loose confederation of activist groups that are bent on causing

damage and violence and destruction in order to get what they want and what they want is a return to nineteenth century agriculture i returned from one thousand century. homebuilding nine hundred century population numbers they want to revert society to the way it used to be it's a very shortsighted way of looking at the world our mission is to talk to the public to talk to americans and to educate them about the threats from activists and government and everywhere else other threats to the food they eat and the choices they make and frightens we have financing from many many ordinary people and also a handful of companies that like what we do and want to see us keep doing it right well we don't need them and never.

the people behind us are actually some of the largest corporations in the country people like pfizer glaxo smith kline the national cattlemen's beef association the first question all these industries and corporations with a vested interest in labeling are just as terrorists in addition to that they're all industries with a lot of financial influence on congress and they've donated heavily to these campaigns that help the left's many of the same people that they've been called upon to label activists as terrorists. the lady and gentleman please stand and raise your right hands each of you solemnly swear the testimony you are about to give the subcommittee should be the truth the whole truth nothing

but the truth so help you god. and echoed terrorists seem to want to destroy civilization as we know it in order to save the planet close quote h.r. forty two thirty nine would expand the reach of the animal enterprise terrorism statute to specifically quote the use of force violence or threats against entities that do business with animal enterprise organizations we need this legislation to enable the police to become proactive in the way they conduct their investigations these people are organized along terrorist cells independently operating and using the internet and emails from distantly and websites that do not operate within the united states or the united kingdom mr carter property crimes are already punishable as so-called animal enterprise terrorism and spill the risk

further expanding that sweeping category to include protests boycotts undercover investigations whistleblowing and nonviolent civil disobedience this legislation will add to this climate of fear and distrust and it will force americans to ask themselves is it worth it is standing up for my beliefs really worth the risk of being labeled a terrorist. i urge you to reject this bill make sure the limited anti-terrorism resources are used to protect national security and human life not profits we thank you for your cooperation attendance and without objection stopped with. the irony of all this eco terrorism legislation and rhetoric is that it's happening at a time when everyone says they are an environmentalist everyone who cares about the

environment everyone is going green right now you know there is more public support for environmental issues than ever before and this corporations in this politicians understand this very well there is a report by the department of homeland security that talked about the threat of so-called eco terrorism one of the points that they raised in this report was that there's a danger with a growing awareness about it on the issues that moves through people being different and radicalized in not only taking a more radical belief system but also acting on those beliefs. i am married to anyway i'm sure he is currently serving a seven year sentence for arson conspiracy. he was involved in property destruction for two facilities one of them being a lumber company and one of them being

a company that creates genetically modified trees. he was originally facing life in prison. it was the night of her anniversary i think and i didn't get a call from him which was really strange because he would have definitely called and then i called the president to find out anything happened and then of course they. tell me anything and then later we find out he was moved he was in the process of being moved to. marion illinois it's in southern illinois and he's being moved to a unit called a communication management unit something that actually no one had ever heard about and we didn't know anything about. so these units pulled what they consider people not necessarily charged with terrorism but somehow associated with terrorism which is very vague and it could basically mean anything they want it to

mean. i lived in new york for nine eleven i experienced that. for me it's a kind of. really difficult to swallow that label being put on him considering i actually do know what. terrorism is and. someone who destroyed property. with absolutely zero intention of harming i think all human being. in my mind is not here. president obama's pledge to close guantanamo on the secret overseas cia prisons calls are increasing for him to reexamine the treatment of prisoners detained as part of the so-called war on terror being held inside the united states with little public scrutiny the bush administration open to secretive prisons and indiana and

illinois known as communication management units or c.m.e. and is that are designed to severely restrict person or communication with family members and media and the outside world dozens of muslim men are still being held at the c.m. used as well as other person hours and clothing environmental and animal rights activists the government's provided little information about the special prison units a search on the bureau of prisons website yields just one document even mentioning the program only a handful of news articles have covered what's been described as a little guantanamo by some of the prisoners. and april of two thousand and ten we filed a lawsuit against the bureau of prisons the attorney general eric holder the director of the bureau of prisons harley then on and other high level individuals within the bureau and we are alleging that the communications management units are

unconstitutional but another part of this is really defending activists as they are charged and challenging these new laws as unconstitutional you know the federal government is now attempting to prosecute protesters as terrorists and we need to call attention to this we need to argue about it in court and we also need to educate people on educate other social justice activists who may be the next target . for instance in the case of scott the youth in minneapolis minnesota the government attorney in that case actually argued before the court that's got to do with this is a known anarchist therefore is a mess to terrorists it was that it's not direct he is an anarchist therefore he is a terrorist because of evidence of that they talked about literature that was found in his old books but i'm a cold and about the haymarket murders and things like that it's purely about beliefs and targeting. it does resonate with me you know my grandparents were

julius and ethel rosenberg and course they were executed in the one nine hundred fifty s. for conspiracy to commit espionage that was the charge but really the trial was all about them allegedly having given the secret of the atomic bomb to the soviet union to the russians and while there was a huge outcry of support from many activists across the country and internationally you know huge international movement to support and to see clemency there were many others who we would have expected to have been involved in that battle who were afraid and it's not hard to understand why they were afraid given the climate of the times but it's you know it's a history lesson that we can't afford to repeat. we

have approximately here in the f.b.i. approximately one hundred seventy cases there are throughout all of our divisions in the f.b.i. . just feeling specifically with eco terrorism. with. we're going to stay right to the questions that were presented. hot topic it's this. we will take. that as a. christian it's just it was the u.s. i think that it will probably go it will be international and that's why it's very important that we here in the united states within the federal bureau of investigation ensure that we work very diligently with our international partners

to ensure that these types of ideologies and crimes do not occur at their home. real sorcerer in the stick thing in this building just some months ago where hundred and twenty had some stay in the largest gathering outside of the u.n. building and they had they failed to deliver. a deal to stop climate change that the whole world was waiting for about the moment so we dressed up in my eyes evening blown hired three cars bought some toys on the internet blue lights we made some forts numberplates serious zero seven like james bond. on the eve of the summit's final day two activists with

a group greenpeace interrupted a state dinner for over one hundred world leaders at the danish royal palace dressed in formal evening where the couple won for all manner of treating politicians talk leaders the action came one day after two activists briefly interrupted the summit finery chanting slogans for climate justice let's be blunt about it he'll come. out those with power and governments and the business sector well i engaged in mass scale corruption mass scale and by the mental crimes and who absolutely. and and get away with it that. they're. what we did was not something different from what we have done before but the twenty one days we've built here the tension is actually the toughest sentence without trial that anyone that greenpeace activists ever have both in

europe so it's really a change. i know i will be charged with something that possibly could give me up to or in principle to give me up to two years. ellman of trying to show time. public protest. before long well direct action this is a normal she world wide from the u.k. where we see me preventative arrests where we see attempts crude attempts of police and creation with the ecology movement that's really happens in the us the barely a country that you can point to where the. sears the still is identified by the police as a key thing for one's special before major actions like nuclear waste transports

she's under surveillance last time they arrested her before the transfigured i offered the police took a risk is it legal to take preventive action on the basis of superstitions and given that we think the police went way too far and that the law doesn't cover such a rests solely. because it's a pretty i think around to always enable police to walk out of innocent people that's a lot easier than holding a template trial where i file fifteen thousand motions or leave it all or ground citizens their right to demonstrate them the airplanes white on first condition that condition and that's how they do it that's how our basic rights are restricted or otherwise someday it will disappear if we don't the founder.

things fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event but the planet has time we don't so this is really about saving ourselves are we intelligent enough to save ourselves or not it's really up to the younger generations to take a stand because we're going to be left holding the bag in the end we're going to have to face the consequences of all the damage that's happened over this past centuries and. we can't wait for somebody else to do it. a. bit of a. wealthy

british science. sometimes. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy because the reports on our.
