we're surrounded by the forest up here. the green dam and resource company is the largest redwood landowner the largest single redwood landowner and they have about four hundred thirty thousand acres which is far bigger than any of the parks. their target age their age they want to clear cut this forty five years old and now that's just pretty much tree farming these trees can grow to be thousands of years old so when you're just continually stunting it to a maximum of forty five or fifty years it's not a forest at all it's just a tree farm.
9:44 pm
thank you. the forest here was cut down about five years ago that's what most a green dams land looks like is really small scrubby trees and brush. countering. the sea all 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. was. the.

first verse is the movement they were part of. one of the main mottos of earth first is no compromise in the defense of mother earth. want them to stop clear cutting we want them to stop using herbicides want them to not log on steep an unstable hillsides where they cause a lot of erosion and landslides and we want them to not cut anymore old growth ever . just for. we're not here to protect the ecosystems that we rely on a verse or buyable and really that everyone on this earth relies on because these trees soak up huge amounts of carbon at the atmosphere and if this forest was allowed to grow to its full potential it would greatly reduce the impacts of

9:48 pm
we're breaking the law they're breaking the rules you know we're breaking the law of the heart and the land and the spirit like it's like so much more heinous and trespassing and illegal camping building a barricade. the 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 there used to be hundreds if not thousands of people who would come to humboldt county yearly to defend the redwoods during logging season and now we're lucky to have twenty. if you wish the other one. to do with it is just i.
9:49 pm
was. i. think we have to remember that it's not just a game because and what they called the timber wars appear people have been seriously 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
9:50 pm

9:52 pm
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 were pushing forward with that sale and so i thought a bit of desperation. i don't consider arson violent personally if someone renders an enum an object that is pillaging the planet and and in. disrespecting our earth mother if they render that piece of equipment useless i don't consider that violence nonetheless i'm not advocating any one thing i just. 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
9:53 pm
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 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. they're going to feel that i. was present. the most and it's just all these it's all about and. we all need you. and your best
9:54 pm

9:56 pm
