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...

Maybe they all worship the same god...
Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Abaddon = "destruction"
They post this stuff on the net just to get a rise out of whomever sees their screed.
They are chicken-chokers who wouldn't have the wherewithal to execute any decent terrorist acts.
Plus, the dude who wrote this is probably 14 years old and is bored stiff (so to speak).
This is where the link comes in between them and abortion and obtrusive UN style imposed birth control - you know how the UN is always first on the scene at a disaster with birth control instead of food?
I wonder whether that number includes the 1.5 million lost in the abortion war.
Then read "Earth in the Balance" followed by the UN Biodiversity treaty text...They all use the same Glossary of terms...
Wasn't that the philosophy of Pol Pot's "killing fields?"
Sorry, but they already HAVE committed terrorist acts. Here is just one of them! [Back in the 1980's they were stopped from blowing up one tower - they were trying to use plastic explosives. Also back in the 1980's one of their group was convicted of murder!] Here's an article on one of their latest attempts to bring down a tower!:

Saboteurs Hit Powerline Construction Site
An unknown person or persons attacked the construction site of the 23-mile powerline to the University of Arizona’s Mount Graham International Observatory (MGIO) late on the night of April 21. Using sledgehammers and crowbars, the saboteurs caused $200,000 in damages to the powerline, construction vehicles and equipment.

Using sledgehammers and crowbars, the saboteurs caused $200,000 in damages to the powerline, construction vehicles and equipment. MGIO talking head Joe Carter said that “vandals” cut the exposed powerline in several places and put abrasives into the oil and gasoline tanks of several pieces of excavation machinery. “Most of the damage is to the vehicles,” he said. “I think this is an example of eco-terrorism,” Carter said. “It’s most unfortunate that folks don’t use the courts to resolve problems but take things into their own hands”—an ironic statement, considering Judge Marquez’s subsequent ruling in favor of the powerline project.

That's my bumper sticker. I live in timber country.
I don't know. But you might want to call these @ssholes to see if they can help.....
An open letter to Eugene, Oregon's Chief of Police Chief Jim HillDear Jim,
This letter is to advise you that the June 18th Anarchist action in Eugene, Oregon was only one in a series of internationally organized demonstrations against capitalist dominance. Future events will occur every third Friday. The next event, will be peaceful, on Friday, July 16th at 3PM at Broadway Place, in honor of Governor Kitzhaber's "livability award."
As an Anarchist who is in solidarity with the mostly peaceful June 18th demonstrations that occurred in 100 cities, in 39 countries, I am both saddened and apologetic for the behavior of those who were unfairly harming or frightening members of our community.
But perhaps even more frightening is the current distribution of power and wealth on our planet, which is based on an economy of genocide and ecocide. Because of the ineffectiveness of our "Democracy," extreme life affirming acts of defiance are necessary.
June 18th was a world-wide demonstration of mostly peaceful, life affirming defiance. This event has the historic significance of the Boston Tea Party a hundred times over. Almost all of the events were peaceful. Unfortunately, In places like London and Eugene, many people were injured or harmed.
In Eugene this injury and harm stems from many years of police brutality, and human rights violations, as well as the corresponding half dozen "riots." These events have educated our community, especially the youth, in the tactics of battling Riot Police. We do not want to be combatants!
We merely want to be free of the societal oppression which stems from the greed and violence of the 500 people who own more then half the world's wealth. We must all work together to achieve this goal!
For the next several weeks we will be actively pursuing creative ideas that will allow for a safe, legal, public gathering on July 16th. Below is a preliminary announcement. It is my hope that through the advanced notice of our intentions, we will be able to work together to create positive, peaceful, opportunities for meaningful, "life-affirming," education, and subsequent rapid changes in our community.
Love,
Dean Rimerman (541-684-8977) or (cforestd@efn.org) or
