it's ok renaissance return ok rules we take from pacific so resumes. in this room blue cheese available in cinema hotels have various sort of in hotels or recently. i wonder if pm here in moscow these are the top stories on our team two men are walked up and break here for attempting to incite riots using facebook but human rights groups accuse john jones of laying down to the fortunate just to score a popularity points and. top flight trade at the international air show in moscow and nerves of steel for russia's premier pilots among those stealing the limelight is the latest russian stealth fighter the chief fifty which state he was on a wednesday. and the syrian army reportedly fires that thousands of anti-government

protesters across the country but some serious say they're glad to see tanks moving into their towns the president's claim they see security forces as protection against armed gangs and. now we tell you the story of the eco warriors who put themselves on the line to protect the world's environment that's the second part of that special report is coming up next. from. one o'clock in the morning. from. left to the room in your car dealership throughout. we made sure that there were no people around the buildings that were nearby were baking. and we started a fire that resulted in forty thousand dollars with damage to three trucks

unfortunately it's taken me to start a fire be found guilty of several different crimes be 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 son's and the entire world and life that i've had up to this point will be non-existent twenty one years from now that's hard to swallow. since that's real difficult but i can't look back and knowing what i know and how and what i have in my heart. crude trying. this was the longest prison sentence for any environmental

and 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. for going to prison when i used to travel whenever possible i would hop frames and in just about a mile about where is where we used to hop out of u.g. and we would hide in the bushes away 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'd 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 montana 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 might be direct action or over considered a registered domestic terrorist in this country with no inches they 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 and share 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 annual. san diego 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 destroyed 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 enjoy a 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. and i tell people that i was thrown in jail for refusing to testify at this thing that i cringe every 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. and 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 be 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 do 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 so i still support that 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 or the congress working jointly with corporations and corporate mr groups to not only try and stop individuals who were communities actions but to also make sure that public opinion did not support these organisations 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 us economy no threats to cooperate.

the 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 my father's like me who might buy a hybrid car that's the green you have an 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 a return to nineteenth century. homebuilding one 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. 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 why plaxo smith kline and national cattlemen's beef association the first commission all these industries and corporations with a vested interest in labeling our of us 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 they've helped elect so many of the same people that they've been called upon to label activists as terrorists. the lady and gentleman please and raise your right hands and introduce alice where the customer you are about to give this really should be the truth the whole truth nothing but true so help you god. and eco terrorists seemed to want to destroy civilization as we know it and order to save the planet close quote h.r. forty two thirty nine would expand the reach of the animal enterprise terrorism

stature to specifically quote the use of force ballance 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 and these people are organized along terrorist cells independently operating and using the internet and emails clandestinely and web sites that do not operate within the united states or the united kingdom mr potter property crimes are already punishable as so-called n.y. enterprise terrorism this bill the risk further expanding that sweeping category to include protests and 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. not profits we thank you for your cooperation and tenders and without objection the subcommittee started to jerk . the irony of all this eco terrorism legislation and rhetoric is that it's happening at a time when everyone says they're an environmentalist everyone who cares about the environment everyone is going green right you know there is more public support for our militias than ever before and these corporations and these politicians understand this very well there is a report by the department of homeland security i 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 the growing awareness with the removal of issues that mainstream people being becoming radicalized in not only taking a more radical belief system but also acting on those balloons. i am married to anyway i'm sure is currently serving a seven year sentence parsing 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 ever 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 prison to find out anything happened and of course they can. 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 pooled what they considered people not necessarily charged with terrorism but somehow associated with terrorism which is very vague and it could basically mean anything they wanted from me and. 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 a single human being. in my mind is not a terrorist. or 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 persons and indiana and illinois known as communication management units or c m use that are designed to severely restrict person or communication with family members the media and the outside world dozens of muslim men are still being held at the c.m. news as well as other prisoners including 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 person enters. 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 and on and other high level individuals within the bureau on and we are alleging that the communications management units are unconstitutional but another part of this is really defending activists as they are charged on 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 than you are in minneapolis minnesota the government attorney in that case actually argued before the court that's got them you as a known and archivist therefore is a domestic terrorist who is that and that directs he is an anarchist therefore he is a terrorist and i said of evidence of that i talked about literature that was found in his whole books but i'm a cold man and about the haymarket murders and things like that it's purely about beliefs and target. it does resonate with me you know my grandparents were julius and ethel rosenberg and hearst 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 any activists across the country and internationally you know huge international movement to support that 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. are partially one hundred seventy cases that are throughout all of our divisions in the f.b.i.

. just dealing specifically with eco terrorism. we're going to say or to the questions that were presented. hot topic is this. who. is a. christian its decision to save us 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 and sure 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 source or at least the thing in this building just some months ago where hundred and twenty heads of state in the largest gathering outside of the u.n. building and they had they failed to deliver. a deal to stop climate change but the whole world was waiting for a moment so we dressed up in my eyes evening blown hired street cars bought some toys on the internets blue lights we made some forts number plates zero zero seven like james bond. the summit's final day to activists with a group green peace interrupted a state dinner for over one hundred world leaders at the danish royal palace dressed in formal evening wear in the congo on reading politicians talk leaders the action came one day after two activists briefly interrupted the summit finery chanting slogans for climate justice. the book.

goes with power governments and the business sector why engage in mass scale corruption mass scale environmental crimes and who sneak in puberty. and get away with it that. what we did was not something different from what we had done before but the twenty one days we go to hear the tension is actually the toughest sentence without trial but anyone that greenpeace activists ever have both in europe so it's really a change. i know that i will be charged with something that possibly could give me up to or in principle to give me up to two years.

of trying to show time. public protests trollish. direct action but for normal wish the world right from the u.k. where we've seen preventative arrests where we see if that's true potential police infiltration with the accordingly definitely happens in the us the barely a country that you can point to where this is not. serious the spill is identified by the police as a key thing a good ones do especially so 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

visit and we think that at least one way too far and that the law doesn't co-host such arrests so when i get there from visits architect a veteran to always enable police to or cause innocent people i think that's a lot easier about holding a template trial where i file fifteen thousand motions or leave it all or ground citizens their rights to demonstrate this not make them be airplanes like on this condition that condition and that's how they do it that's how our basic rights are restricted or are going to some day they'll disappear if we don't the founder. it takes 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 these past centuries and. we can't wait for somebody else to do it. some. people love. a. client came up.

for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. to.
