Eco-Terror Expert Calls For Inquiry of Green Anarchists

(CNSNews.com) - An expert on eco-terrorism is calling on the FBI to investigate an organization that is touting a nationwide tour to "destroy civilization" and raise money for convicted eco-terrorists, but a spokesman for the FBI's Domestic Terrorism Program said the agency is taking a hands-off approach for the time being.

The Green Anarchy Tour 2002, currently traveling from Ashland, Ore., to Washington, D.C., advertises its participants as "anarchists," refers to police as "the fascist force we are up against" and calls convicted eco-terrorists "prisoners of war."

Such rhetoric has Ron Arnold concerned. Arnold, vice president of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, said the tour "presents probable cause for investigation."

"You do have people here recommending violence, murder, property damage, everything you can think of," he said.

Arnold is author of several books on the environmental movement including "Ecoterror: The Violent Agenda to Save Nature: The World of the Unabomber."

He believes that with the increasing number of domestic environmental and animal rights terrorist acts in the United States, the FBI should be more proactive in investigating possible threats like the Green Anarchy Tour.

"I would say that law enforcement has an obligation, probable cause to at least look into it," Arnold said. "If they say they are going to destroy civilization, I think we should take them at their word," he added.

FBI Lukewarm to Investigation

The FBI is less concerned than Arnold, at least publicly, saying it won't do anything until and unless the law is broken.

"The FBI is only concerned when there is a violation of the law," said Steven Berry, spokesman for the FBI's Domestic Terrorism Program. "We fully support the rights of any and all groups, no matter what their message or their purpose, to lawfully assemble, protest and march."

When asked about the risks of terrorism from domestic sources, Berry said, "The FBI is only concerned when there is a violation of federal law," adding that eco-terrorism is "the number one investigative priority of the domestic terrorism section."

But Arnold thinks the matter deserves greater attention, noting that the Green Anarchy Tour's support of convicted members of the radical environmental group Earth Liberation Front makes an investigation more necessary.

The group's Internet website says that proceeds from the tour will help convicted arsonists such as Jeffrey "Free" Luers and Craig "Critter" Marshall.

"[Earth Liberation Front] is an FBI declared terrorist organization that they want to be the beneficiary of their proceeds," Arnold said.

Eco-Terrorism on The Rise

According to Arnold, the threat of domestic terrorists cannot be underestimated. "I think it is as much a threat as foreign terrorism. These people are going to damage property and kill people," Arnold said.

Domestic terrorism and violence by environmental and animal 'rights' activists is on the rise, according to Arnold. "We've had 'animal rights' activists beat people with baseball bats causing serious injury. We see that kind of violence growing," Arnold said.

According to the FBI, there have been more than 600 cases of eco-terrorism causing $43 million dollars in property damage over the past decade, prompting him to call the federal response to eco-terrorism "a day late and a dollar short."

Arnold cited the failure of federal law enforcement for the escalating violence. "We probably have got [sic] literally thousands of [eco-terrorists] who ought to be in jail," he said, placing the blame squarely on the FBI for "failing to investigate exactly the kind of things you see on the (Green Anarchy) web site."

I posted this on the other thread...which hasn't been closed by the Admin Moderator yet, BTW:

When I first started reading the description of their "mission", I thought "sounds like ELF"!

Turns out I was wrong...sort of...but here they are apparently AFFILIATED with ELF.

I can only say it is SUPREMELY STUPID OF THE FBI to be SOOOOOO worried about accusations from Constitutionalists that the rights of eco terrorists brought in for questioning will be violated (EXAMPLE: anyone catch Ann Coulter today? The guy at the very end of the show.)....THAT THEY WON'T INVESTIGATE the POSSIBLE breaking of law until a law is broken spectacularly enough to warrent an investigation!!!

Note to FBI: THIS IS A TERRORIST CELL AFFILIATED WITH, AND PROBABLY AN OFFSHOOT OF, A KNOWN TERRORIST GROUP!! HAS AL QAEDA TAUGHT YOU NOTHING???

Stupid. So stupid.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!

Nothing suspicious about these guys. Just youthful hijinx. What the hell is that TIPS #?

I say tell everyone you know to call the FBI and report this obvious threat to America.

These are the Green Anarchists out of Eugene, then you can throw in the ALF/ELF radical groups which get funding from their PETA buddies. Earth First seems to be up to their clymers in this road trip and promises to the rest of us.

Jake Reno in it's tour as head terrorist in charge of the In Justice Department, told her flunky in charge. Louisa Freeh, of the FBI that ALF/ELF/PETA/ and the Green Anarchists were off limits and there was to be zero investigations of these groups.

The Green Terrorist Poster Boy Governor of Oregon with his left wing judges has banned all under cover work in Oregon to investigate these green terrorists and of course the IslamaKazis in Portland and other university towns. It is against the law to go under cover to investigate anyone in Oregone for criminal activities.

If the governor of the State of Oregon, the mayor of Portland and the left wing judges in Oregon will not allow any undercover work by the FBI or any police agency, then there is nothing we can do until they start fires and get arrested.

The FBI may have to just follow these Green terrorists and nail them for crimes committed in other states. Then they can be tried there instead of Portland where they would get medals.

Your reply needs to be reposted with a simple emphasis added to one part with a question to that one part?

The joke is that people actually believe that it's about the environment, the animals, the trees - the ecology. What a laugh. Nothing could be further from the truth. This movement - international in scope - is about the end of capitalism and the implementation of marxist utopian ideology. This movement will go to bed with any terrorist group incliding Al Quaeda to promote itself. Just where do they get their funding? Not from the the dollars that their naive followers contribute that's for sure...

Excellent analysis on your part.

Carry Okie has a lot of data re funding from Americans, the super rich Fascists who want more control and funding. Maybe Carry can post some of his data from his book that shows the reality of these greens and how to correct what they have done to America.

Besides these Americas and super rich Euros like Soros, we need to keep a heads up re funding from the Opecker Princes, to keep us more dependent on Opec oil.

When the FBI gets involved, thats when we need to start worrying, witness Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the OKC bombing.

Little bits likes this create Conservative opinion that somehow local law enforcement is breaking down, like the "far-right threat" that prompted the FBI to place agent provacateurs in Arizona and Oklahoma racist/"Patriot militia" camps.

Next thing you know, a bomb goes off.

The KKK had a joke in the seventies, how do you tell the FBI guy? Look for the one lighting the fuse.

Now that the Green Anarchists are on their road tour to burn down America and are out of Oregon, your advice to call the FBI is now appropriate. The governor of Oregon, the mayors of Eugene and Ashland will not allow any FBI investigation of these Green Anarchists in Oregon, these Green Anarchists are the heros to these Watermelons of Oregon.

However, they are now out of Oregon, and maybe the FBI can start to investigate them. Each governor should have his/her state police/highway patrol meet these clymers at the border of his/her state and escort them through the rural parts so no accidental fires will erupt while they are driving and riding through each state.

As far as I have been able to detect, the green fascist money is American and European, principally the tax-exempt foundations of the founders of those oil companies and banks currently reliant upon trade for Middle East oil: Rockefellers, Pews, and British and Dutch Royals. After oil speculators are mining interests (primarily European), agricultural interests (American Slave Party investors), timber and paper companies, and real estate interests. Banks appear to play a key role to make certain that reserves are pumped up by the value of developed land.

Where your "Opecker Princes" really have money is in nearly every mosque built in America.

Remember when I said the protests and acts of enviro-terrorism would probably increase until the Earth Summit is over? Hold on to your hat.

[Grampa Dave]

Hey Silly Cake Crumb, I have a hard time remembering what I posted this morning or had for breakfast.

So repost what you said without the memory test which I just flunked? :)

The government (FBI) thinks these little green people are from an advanced society out there in space somewhere-come in peace-and have much to offer humanity, if we just don't take an aggressive attitude toward them.

The FBI is afraid that if we offend green peace they will destroy us with their superior weapons.

Grommie, a glass blowing musician I know who does forest defense was invited to join the group as they were planning this affair here in Eugene, Oregon.

I had heard this and asked him what was up on this when I saw him down near the Cascadia Forest Defender's office on Willamette Street.

He said the schedule was too grueling, and the politics of the planners too hard edged for his tastes. This originated here in Eugene, and I assume it is anchored here too, but I am not in the loop to know where or how this is so.

[FreedomPoster]

From the GreenAnarchist web site:

Due to the threat of state harassment, intimidation, and repression, exact locations will not be listed. Please be resourceful and look for flyers or spread the info by word of mouth.

Here in Atlanta, I expect you could go down to Little Five Points this weekend or next, and see if there are any flyers around, to see if this thing is real. rdb3, you could probably do the same at your local hippie/punk/tatooed/pierced person haven, wherever that might be in (Cleveland?).

[Grampa Dave]

Let us know if you find any posters.

There were some up in Humboldt County around the Enviral Druid University just north of Eureka, Ca.. However, that is not unusual for that watermelon infected area.

Good point, if freepers see or hear about posters announcing the coming of the green terrorists, we should know about it.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

I've heard first hand from one of these nut jobs. They welcome any terrorist mass killings - including bio. With the population nearly eliminated, mother earth can recover from the years of damage that mankind has delivered. I explained that if the population were cut in half & all major govts eliminated, we would witness a free for all on the earth's natural resources as all organized systems would end.

"Detriot Aug. 16"

hmmmm...a Friday.

[Grampa Dave]

Most of them hate humans and as you say would welcome any terrorism act that would kill a massive amount of Americans.

I have said since day one of the Anthrax problem back east, that prime suspects must be any ALF/ELF/PETA or Anarchists with access and basic lab training.

If Saddam came up with Bio Weapons of mass destruction that needed 1,000 Americans to deliver it to America and kill most of our population, these radical enviral nazis would line up to deliver it.

I have heard them, and you have heard them re their intentions of what they would like to do to our families and friends. Andy Kerr about 4 years ago said that too many people lived and worked in Oregon and worked at the wrong types of jobs. The miserable governor agreed with him.

Now thanks to the anti business agendas of the Governor, the mayors in most cities and their city councils, the greens have driven out a lot of businesses. They would like to see the state's population down to way less than 100,000. With most of the population stacked in Medford, Eugene and Portland areas to be grunt labor for the elite envirals.
