The Road to the Underground... and Beyond

Want to be a revolutionary? Anarchist? Try this: Walk straight out your door into the night air... Climb a hill or something up high. Look out into the darkness at the dark sky. Then let your eyes look down at the multitude of lights flashing, porch lights, street lights, offices, cars and airports. Close your eyes and you can still see it... Ripeness for picking.

Want to be a revolutionary? Anarchist? Try this: Walk straight out your door into the night air... Climb a hill or something up high. Look out into the darkness at the dark sky. Then let your eyes look down at the multitude of lights flashing, porch lights, street lights, offices, cars and airports. Close your eyes and you can still see it... Ripeness for picking. Picture the thousands of cities, millions of cars... the rows of shiny jet airplanes, ready and fueled. Safety and security purchased cheap, on the market, hired guards with guns. How many bullets or light bulbs does it take to run a global consumer system, how many burn out each day? Bulbs are dying and guns are selling faster than young bodies are rotting (45,000 dead each day, 17 million a year to starvation and war). Hunger and starvation become investments in the game of Globalization.net. How much do I get for 44,000 extinct species each year? Can you feel inside of yourself the things you can’t express... the hidden pain? The broken filmstrip plastic slaps noisily as the techno-police state-nightmare keeps pounding its counter-mantra: “Pull the plug. Stop me! Before I hurt everything, more...” If we took a bunch of starving kids and endangered animals, and we just burned them in a big bonfire, would it make you flinch? Or will we soon just stand there as the bar-code programming replaces our eyes—or at least our vision. This dark monster that shines before our eyes is like The Matrix—only worse—it’s organic and it ends in the death of everything. It’s more than a game and more than a movie when this curtain closes.

Scrap the way you have viewed the world. All the key symbols and cultural concepts we use to define the world—the way that we think—have been corrupted and manipulated to delude us into ignorance and self-destruction. If the system hasn’t stolen your soul yet, nor sucked out your determination, then come along with us. Embrace the Underground.

We don’t need to hide behind words like democracy, reform or progress. Purge these constructs and replace them with liberation, anarchy and love from our hearts. We must be brave and believe in a world of sharing free expression and love for all things. It will be a long road through the Underground.

Moderates always play the game of holding back and diluting the radicals’ “condemnation of materialism.” From Jesus to Buddha and Gandhi to Che Guevara, moderates beg for patience and then redefine the truth.

These are the “end times” of mass movement protests and even riots may no longer be effective. These are the “end times” of passivism, patience and moderation. The Underground’s bonfires of celebration will burn through the veil of the media’s smokescreen. Praxis not posturing.

**************Bring the war home. We chart a new course for a life worth living. ***************There will be no more USA, corporations, technology or material affluence. There will be mutual aid, cooperation, decentralization, self-sufficiency and the liberation of desires—self expression—true anarchy and wildness. This is not just a revolution about power! Culture, spirituality, thinking and technology must all change radically. We believe that our way—the quickening way— results in much less suffering. We reach now to pull the plug on energy systems and all the toys of the greedy boys. All those shiny airplanes will become roofing shingles... and the skyscrapers will be greenhouses. We’ve got a lot of reducing, reusing and recycling to do, a lot to learn and to unlearn. Break the rules, trespass fate. Tune in to your deepest feelings, the wind on a rooftop during a reckless night of adventure, the roar of an unexpected kiss, the magic of your favorite songs lifting you up. Fearless against the darkness that the government plans for us, we are strong in our own desires. We come with stones and slingshots, the strange and untamed weapons of our imagination. For a world of wonder where anything is possible...

"Earth First! says they will OVERTHROW the U.S.!"

"I think they already have, we just don't recognize it yet."

Are they willing to see most of the entire 3rd world die of starvation and disease because there's no longer any technology?!

In a word,YES!

And not only the 3rd world but most of this one too!

Behold fair utopia,always beckoning over the bodies of the fallen!

You really need to practice aiming at a kill zone.

We really need to reform these "nonprofits". There are over 700,000+ of them sucking on the taxpayers tit and many of them are in business to push their own little political agendas or to enrich their handlers.

Very important catch, Gemflint. While it's true some of the eco-nuts have resorted to terrorism, it was not many. This statement appearing where it does, portends an attempt to take large numbers in the direction of violence against American society. Is this a terrorist organization of global reach? Probably.

Interesting that they talk about anarchy, since these people really want total government control of everything. If we had true anarchy there would be, well, anarchy rather than nature. If you were well enough armed, you could poison any river you wanted. To get their dream of a "green world", they need a great big government to enfoce it.

This is much like the promises the Soviets made when taking over other nations. Rush is right, the "environmental" movement is the new home of the "communists"; although I dispute that term - even communists know communism won't work with anything smarter than ants. A "communist" is really a socialist.

It sound like they want an anarcho-marxist planet.

They are chicken-chokers who wouldn't have the wherewithal to execute any decent terrorist acts.

I agree most of the time their firebombs don't go off.

Hmmm. Perhaps Ira Einhorn wasn't "caught and extradited" to the US. Perhaps he has simply RETURNED to lead this revolution...

"The very poorly written fantasies of a teenager, nothing more."

If you believe that, you are very naive.

Then again, I suppose there were lots of folks in Germany in the '30s who said similar stuff about the silly man with the small group of nutty followers.

Frankly, though, I find it strains credulity to believe that anyone is not aware of the real crimes, that have taken real lives, and cost millions of real dollars worth of damage, that have been committed by the radical "environmentalist" terrorists in this country.
