a warning to the oriental bluebird that they are violating the antarctic whale sanctuary very few to comply with morning so we delivered a serious blow to them in order to pay for. a walk down the street see a child being abused and do nothing you don't stand there and watch whales die and hold the banner and do nothing. our oceans are dying we've already removed ninety percent of the fish from the oceans and we're continuing to exploit them i don't believe in protest to me protesting is submissive it's like please please please don't do that and they do it anyway you know it's a grovelling you know we shouldn't be protesting we should be intervening. is a battle is a war what governments and big business have been doing is extremely destructive and it seems silly to me it's you think of it as not
5:33 am
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 the necessity to do these things. would be 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. is it.
5:34 am
to discuss in place things have to change i want to take action instead of waiting passively and otherwise change will happen. if we reach a certain critical mass. and many of us act together we can change the world.
5:35 am
this is my food supply i want to for you if the police corner us up here it's not for a few days i know that we won so now won't need it. no computer. we occupy the cheese to propound cotton far from cutting them down. they were clearing the forests so they could lay pipe coal plants they're building in the industrial part of town you'll see everything so it was a good opportunity just some to toss the corporation and to bring our protest to an urban area with a special called an idea. they kill it's imply nickname square zero.
5:36 am
zero zero. zero zero seven all the time never dismantle a platform usually the cops do it when the effect is from the trees. but i don't think two three months for the courts to issue an injunction stopping work due to a normal lease in the permit granting process in normal ie was that no one asked people no hearings were held for me when i don't need a piece of paper saying what they did was illegal and once it's done the paper is useless but i want to stop terms of this office and.
5:37 am
work in the act i've been taking direct action for about ten years. at first it was street theater then i took action against consumerism taking billboards. well i've always been a client weren't so one day i decided to combine favorite activism with climbing i like the way it works so i carried on i combine my hobby and my political commitment. this re-aligned goes to ghonim board that sparks have to implement their little map then into another twenty by road to the future nuclear waste disposal site. the reason oa temporary site trains loaded with nuclear waste is wrong on this line yeah. but in actual if the surprise is the key to a successful action. you jump over the fence. but
5:38 am
. i don't want to go. one two three four five six. let alone this seventy five seventy six seventy seven i can't summon to seven officers plus those over there is a crowd on the bridge but it's about trying to find a 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.
5:39 am
i obviously don't have an on off switch to start on nuclear construction over night for fun although. they say i'm going to be stamped by tiny step we're making our dreams come true. to see the contracts since i finished this is silly conta has sixteen sponsors. to get on of this or one of the twenty gives ten twenty thirty euros a month which adds up to three hundred fifty year olds i said sil has unusual talents and it was them to work it's a meeting of people who can give money because they approve of from action some of you know whether they can't do it themselves thanks to this financial support sil can do her thing calmly and independently of each other and.
5:40 am
sussan. and you'll see a. lot of it of stones of her brain direct action you commit to face and the legal consequences so when i think over the rails for a few hours by you bring me to trial. for trespassing or whatever i can't say no that wasn't me i don't want to be seen a lot of the actions are for everybody to see and i do not hide. that i've never
5:41 am
done jail time is that i've been fined what under french and german law they are minor infractions they don't go on my criminal record yeah that's a prison one is that these are the cases i have personally filed according to time the trial is part of the action court house a lot of other things are going on there are demonstrations and there is a hung and people climb on the roof of the courthouse i've often gone that. stage an action like that keeps us more press. we talk to reporters about issues like exporting nuclear waste how bad g.m. always are weary each to arrange our grievances and i actually don't apologise for say. the they.
5:42 am
were surrounded by the forest up here. the green diamond resource company is the largest redwood landowner the largest single redwood landowner and they have about
5:43 am
four hundred thirty thousand acres which is far bigger than any of the parks. their target age 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. live. live.
5:44 am
thank you. the first year was cut down about five years ago that's what most green damage land looks like is really small scrubby trees and brush. can't. see 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. first is the movement never part out. one of the main mottos of the first is no
5:45 am
compromise in the defense of mother earth. i want them to stop clear cutting we want them to start using herbicides want them to not log on stephen unstable hillsides where they cause a lot of your version and landslides and we want them to not create any more or growth ever. just. right here to protect the ecosystems that we rely on to preserve viable and really that everyone on this earth relies on because these trees soak up huge amounts of carbon in the atmosphere and if 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 store just massive in massive amounts of carbon dioxide.
5:46 am
we got all the supplies you asked for i brought some hot. farmer's been planted. and he's pretty. can ensure that ninety feet. who agreed to be here. apples. here. 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. to make it
5:47 am
for the last few days. i'm going to make chocolate cake. with chocolate. and coke and you know better 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. or breaking the law they're breaking rules you know like they're breaking my heart on the way and the way the spirit like it's like so much more heinous and.
5:48 am
trespassing illegal camping building a barrier to. 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. people would see otherwise. it would destroy us awful. as it was. i just i. think we have to remember that it's not
5:49 am
just a game it's 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 you going. to go on my chemical you. call phil killer no the minimum i ever understand i.
5:50 am
was. doing there was. was shortly after i was involved. the police and humble county started pepper spraying helpless people who were locked to each other and then dipping q-tips into it indebting people's eyes with it don't really. want to. you know really this was just for trespassing refusing to leave nothing more. and for us environmental activist admits his part in torching trucks and two eco terrorist attacks has sent him six and a half years in prison sitting through eleven days on a ledge of court and spittle building in two thousand. trained
5:51 am
hero who was born michael store puti talked a lot about saving forests but he wouldn't admit he was among the arsonist who the following year culture a short logging trucks near us to qaeda and trucks of portland's ross island sand and gravel now he hands. i was incarcerated for almost six years including a halfway house and home confinement. 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've done everything that i knew i could buy what i didn't purchase by what i did with my own body and my actions i wrote blockades in tree sits and they
5:52 am
still 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 and i'm an object that is pillaging the planet and 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. encourage people to do something i have to send this form to my probation officer every month to let him know what i've been doing for the month and that i'm not causing any problems. starting this past december so it's set for to go on for two and half 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
5:53 am
a terrorist. arson is a serious crime but also 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. i they're going to feel ok. so it was present. in the system it's just all it's all about and. we all. i think it was your best that we can support people that are that are being targeted by the. sounds. that.
5:54 am
time. and so. now 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 of washington state i think it was where it will tackle terrorism which they knocked down some radio towers that they set fire to some buildings is not new i mean it's been going on for about twenty twenty five years and sensors been eco terrorists before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country
5:55 am
there was a terrorist in the school system of this country so it's been going on for a while now is it you know obviously i think kill people like al qaeda has no ok they haven't and we understand that and that's a good thing ok that's a really good thing. in this country the patriot act is really messed up and obviously people doing even nonviolent activist work can be considered terrorists. and 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 like they're going to protect their interests their power and profits
5:56 am
at all costs just need to work on ways where you know you don't get caught or something. wealthy british scientists it's time to. market finance come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our cheap. in
