#Introduction

Hello fellow Kolektivists.

I'm here to join and support those opposed to growing fascism in US and world politics, environmentalism and local governance and political activism.

My political and environmental activism dates back to the early 1970s in Nebraska, Wyoming, Alaska, New Mexico and California. I work locally to promote public participation in local government, and to reveal the effects of global fascism on local politics and civil affairs.

So here's a good tool that may help communicate what you're saying.

Click on the link, then use the tool to slide nuclear all the way up.

Anyone can see the impact is MINIMAL.

This tool is spectacular and for anyone who wants to speak sensibly or even logically about #climate, use it to see if what you're suggesting even makes sense.

I'm a human being, not a human doing.

74 years and counting on this beat up and much abused twirling mudball we share with the only life there is in the Universe(s), as far as we know.

Let's save some of it!

No Fucking compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!

And as for my past activism, I was the youngest member of the anti-nuclear Clamshell Aliiance, and a founder of the #ThomasMorton Alliance -- a pagan group whose motto was "Earth Religion, Earthly Concerns". Another TMA founder was a Wiccan feminist. Another was a Native American activist. I met both of them through the Clamshell Alliance years ago. During the mid-late 1980s, we worked with #HumanRights groups and even collaborated with the local #EarthFirst group. Unfortunately, tragedy tore our group apart, but several members went on to become journalists (I was one of them), and continued to participate and organize events. I'm not as active as I used to be, but thanks to the internet, I know things were even worse than I suspected...

“Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break….I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.”

― Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness

Just finished the #earthfirst! inspired #pirate flag for todays pirate themed #criticalmass. I have like 7 hours to finish the #bike trailer.

From an environmental point of view I 100% support #earthfirst not having international shipping. But I'd really love to get my hands on their journals(and stickers).

What do folks on here think about Earth First!? Are they still relevant for today's ecological struggles? Does anyone have firsthand experience working with them? Is it more of an informal network now? #earthfirst #anarchy #ecology

Eleanor Fairbraida, Earth First activist in the 2000s in Nottingham, has come out as one of the deceived partners of spy-cop Mark Kennedy.

"Her decision to speak out ... coincides with the revelation that Kennedy, a former officer in the secretive National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU), is being investigated over allegations of criminal misconduct."

Original poster used to organize and recruit participants for Redwood Summer, a mass direct action to halt the clear-cutting of the redwood forest in Mendocino and Humboldt Counties, California. The action was supported by Earth First! and the IWW, with numerous other organizations helping to recruit and train activists (including Seeds of Peace).

Today in Labor History June 11, 2002: Earth First! and IWW activists Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney won $4.4 million in a false-arrest lawsuit against Oakland police and the FBI. They had been arrested for blowing up their own car while they were in it. The jury unanimously found that six of the seven FBI and OPD defendants had deliberately framed Bari and Cherney in an effort to crush Earth First! and crush participation in Redwood Summer.

So, TBH, I was a teen member of the Clamshell Alliance, and later became an member of #EarthFirst and the #ThomasMortonAlliance (a #Pagan group dedicated to the defense of #MotherEarth). I've been fighting for our Mother my whole life and I'm willing to die for her. This is the real deal. We live or die based on what we do now...

"I wanna be a witness
Or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
Dressed in shadows
Red like a carousel

I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
... Cuts through

Will you lay all of your
Deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
Rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!"
- Michael Scott, The Waterboys, 1982

Today in Labor History May 24, 1990: Earth First! and IWW members Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney were bombed in Oakland, California. Police immediately arrested the victims, destroyed evidence, and went on a witch hunt of local activist groups like Earth First! and Seeds of Peace. FBI bomb investigators were on the scene almost instantaneously, as if they knew about it in advance. Later it was discovered that the FBI had held a police bomb training in California’s redwood country, near where Bari and Cherney lived, and that the bomb in their car resembled those used in the training. According to Bari, Four of the FBI agents who were on the scene of her bombing had been students at this training. In 2002, five years after Bari’s death from breast cancer, they won their civil suit against the law enforcement agencies for violating their Constitutional Rights.

3 Monate Strafe sind zuwenig.
Für 5 Monate bekommt man bereits Störung von Betriebsabläufen, und wenn du Jahre deiner Zeit investieren willst kannste gleich Strommasten fällen spätestens dann wirst du gehört.
Also abgemacht ihr klebt sägt und was man sonst noch braucht, ich mach das mit Mülltrennung und Fahrrad.
