Although the ELF Press Office has received no communications about these actions from the persons responsible, spraypainted signatures at all scenes indicates claims of responsibility by ELF activists.

The actions include:

Arcadia, California - Rusnak Mercedes Benz. Ten S.U.V.s were spraypainted with "terrorist," "killer," and "ELF". Duarte, California - Duarte Mitsubishi. The dealership building and approximately twenty vehicles were painted with "ELF" and the phrases "gross polluter" and "We (heart) pollution". West Covina, California. An early morning fire ripped through a GM autodealership, destroying and damaging several SUVS including several Hummer H2s. A warehouse on the site was also destroyed by fire.

The Earth Liberation Front is an international underground organization that uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to stop the destruction of the natural environment. Since 1997, the ELF in North America has caused over $100 million in damages to entities who profit from the destruction of life and the planet.

Any communications received by the ELF Press Office will be forwarded on to interested members of the press. Included in this email is a background piece written in November, 2002 to discuss some of the motivations behind the ELF's targetting of SUVs.

Further questions can be directed to the ELF Press Office.

These enviro wackos are really crazy. According to the news, the FBI is investigating and treating this as a domestic terrorism incident (good!). I'll post some more info from this group's website as I find it.

I wonder if the FBI is putting as many agents and resources on this as they did on the Eric Rudolph case.

(Not really.)

I guess eco-terrorists are allowed to have servers. Visit their website though, I think it's legit. Drudge has linked to it.

Check out some of their arson "how-to" guides...

Oh man, if those vegan limp-wristed long-haired smelly enviroweenies tried that sh*t down here, they'd find out the consequences of a sudden acute injection of lead into their environment.

I'd LOVE to see these ohhhhhhh-so-brave spoiled rotten children pull some of these stunts against hunters, loggers, and people who need to live off the land they want to seal under Saran Wrap and look at from afar. It'd be fun...but not for them.

I think I'll drive a few miles out of my way tomorrow in my big gas-sucking pickup truck, just in these greenieweenies' honor. I'll have a hamburger, too.

Never happen. Too many good 'ole boys with shotguns and rifles in the homes and trucks. They rather play in the "gun free" zones...

I was just curious how terrorists are allowed to roam free and have a websites. Terrorists websites should be shut down, and the terrorists arrested. I'm starting to feel like I'm in Israel...

I DO hope the FBI is treating this as domestic terrorism. This is absolutely hideous.

Will these wackos one day be heroized by a Democrat in office like Clinton did to Arafat?

If they'd burned down an abortion clinic this would be all over the news and the FBI would have issued a dozen statements by now saying how they will get these guys before the sun goes down. But since its lefties doing this, it barely gets a blip on the news screens.

I'm sure the FBI will want a copy too.

The Rico statutes should fit these folks to a T.

They claim not to want to hurt people, but they have come very close to it.

They burned down a major building a few months back. They thought it was abandoned. It wasn't. There were three men inside who barely escaped with their lives.

Further, when firefighters arrive on scene, they are in danger of building colapse and all the other usual threats that a fire like this can present to them.

Recently they burnt down a major business project. I have some pictures I took off the tube this morning. I'll post them in a few minutes.

The fire from just one of these buildings put more polutants into the air than thousands of these vehicles would in years.

This isn't about polution or animals or the environment. It's about taking down a capitalist system. These people are the same folks who show up at the summits and seek to destroy capitalism by any means possible.

This is war between socialists and marxists, and the rest of the industrialized nations.
