7:35 pm
a war and something that we should fight back against i don't like setting things on fire i don't like sneaking around at night wearing a ski mask crawling underneath cars i don't like it i don't like sitting in a tree two hundred feet up in the air risking my life but i feel a necessity to do these things. but being an eco warrior means to me is. doing all you can to defend the earth. it can be hard because a lot of people think you should never break the law or at least not for political purposes. does it matter. to discuss confess things have to change i want to take action instead

7:39 pm
street theater then i took action against consumerism taking billboards. well i've always been a climber so one day i decided to combine their activism with climbing i like the way it works so i carried on i combine my hobby and my political commitment. this rail line goes to don and who are spartans ten kilometer. it's another twenty by road to the future nuclear waste disposal site there the reason no a temporary site trains loaded with nuclear waste on this line here. actually surprise is the key to a successful action. jump over the fans. of
7:40 pm
only. one two three four five six. let us on this seventy five seventy six seventy seven icon someone see seven officers plus those over there is a crowd on the bridge that's about twenty five per person that's what they need to drive the nuclear train for even as you probably already know i remain passive and never cut anything or destroy anything. as you can see i obviously don't have an on off switch to stop all nuclear construction overnight from although. they say i'm in custody we stand by

7:44 pm
7:45 pm
their target age their age they want to clear cut this forty five years old and that's just pretty much tree farming these trees can grow to be thousands of years old so when you're just continually standing it to a maximum of forty five or fifty years it's not a forest at all it's just a tree for. live. live. think you.
7:46 pm
the forest here was cut down about five years ago that's what most agree dams land looks like is really small scrubby trees and brush. countering. the old the tree is i think it's about seventy we don't really recognize their right to claim ownership of this land when all they're doing is exploiting it. like. a. first person is a movement they were part of. one of the main mottos of the first is no compromise in the defense of mother earth. who wanted to stop clear cutting
7:47 pm
we want them to stop using herbicides we want them to not log on stephen unstable hillsides where they cause a lot of erosion and landslides and we want them to not pay any more or growth ever . we're out here to protect the ecosystems that we rely on for survival and really that everyone on this earth relies on because these trees soak up huge amounts of carbon at the atmosphere and this forest was allowed to grow to its full potential it would greatly reduce the impacts of climate change because these trees get so huge and live for so long in iraq resistant that they stored just massive in massive amounts of carbon dioxide. we got all the supplies you asked for i brought some hot.
7:48 pm
farmer's been planted. and he's pretty. like an inch more than ninety feet up. who is great to be here. apples. thank you. in one campaign in the one nine hundred ninety s. there was a tree sitter who. was unable to get food or water for three days because there were security guards posted under his tree and he had to drink his own piss. to make it for the last few days.
7:49 pm
i'm going to make chocolate cake. chocolate. coconut you know butter top and i. hope it will be great. but. it's not really about like lifestyle choices it's about taking action against the corporations that are destroying the earth. were breaking the law but they're breaking the rules you know like you're breaking my heart and will land on my spirit like it's like so much more heinous. trespassing illegal camping building a barricade for. the
7:50 pm
survival of these ecosystems rely on people of conscience taking a stand but since bush took office. the level of involvement with earth first and with civil disobedience to defend the forests has severely declined and it used to be hundreds if not thousands of people who would come to county yearly to defend the redwoods during logging season and now we're lucky to have twenty. if you wish the other would. do would it just i. was. i just. i. think we have to remember that it's not just a game because and what they call the temper wars appear people have been seriously
7:51 pm
injured and killed and friends of mine have been chased through the woods and been chased off of steep hills and one of them had to be airlifted out of a remote area because he was chased off a hill and dislocated his pelvis. are you going. to go on. the late. fall early to learn of the minimum why ever break under seal i i. don't think there's a. was shortly after i was involved. the
7:52 pm
police and humble county started pepper spraying helpless people who were locked to each other and then dipping q-tips into it and jabbing people's eyes with it really . want to. know. this was just for trespassing refusing to leave nothing more. and for us environmental activist admits his part in torching trucks until eco terrorist attacks his sentence six and a half years in prison sitting through eleven days on a ledge of court in spital building in two thousand and nine. trade hero who was poor michael score pity talk
7:53 pm
a lot about saving forests but he wouldn't admit he was among the arsonist who the following year. logging trucks near us to qaeda and trucks at portland's ross island sand and gravel now he hands. i was incarcerated for almost six years including the halfway house and home confinement time. i had done everything that i knew i could to help save those trees that you go creek and they still were trying to kill those trees i done everything that i knew i could buy what i didn't purchase by what i did with my own body and my actions by road blockades and tree sits and they still
7:54 pm
were pushing forward with that sale and so i thought a bit of desperation well i don't consider arson violent personally if someone renders an enum an object that is pillaging the planet in and. disrespecting our earth mother if they render that piece of equipment useless i don't consider that violent and unless i'm not advocating any one thing i just think encourage people to do something i have to send this form to my probation officer every month just to let him know what i've been doing for the month and i'm not causing any problems. starting this past december so it's set for to go on for two and out more years i have been targeted by the f.b.i. and the u.s. government because of my political ideology and as a consequence the government is labeled me as a terrorist. arson
7:55 pm
is a serious crime but although it is certainly a far cry from nonviolent civil disobedience it is not terrorism it's property crime it's sabotage or it's arson but it is not terrorism. there are a few ok. so it was present. the assistants to all parties involved and. we all. might hear it is your best that we can support people that are that are being targeted by the government.
7:56 pm
and. not particular regard of climate change there's certainly an eco terrorist threat because we've had incidences recently and in the west coast there was some incidents in washington state i think it was where it with eco terrorism which they knocked down some radio towers and the set fire to some buildings is not new i mean it's been going on for about twenty twenty five years and since it's been eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country there was a terrorist in the school system in this country so it's we want to for
7:57 pm
a while now is it you know obviously i think kill people like al qaeda has no ok perhaps and we understand that and that's a good thing ok that's a really good thing. in this country patriot act is really messed up and obviously people doing even nonviolent activist work can be considered terrorists. it's you know i don't want to be on the terrorist watch list just for speaking my my opinions it is a battle it is a war what governments and big business have been doing is extremely destructive it's a fucking war. they are going to protect their interests their power and profits at all costs i just need to work on ways where you
