Background on the Michigan State University Arson, From ELF Press Office

I dug through some old zines and brochures I’ve collected over the years, and found this in a publication called “Frequently Asked Questions About the Earth Liberation Front.” (And then, of course, also found it on the web in a fraction of the time).

Developing Story: FBI, DHS Raids and Arrest in Cincinnati

I’ve received a ton of emails the last 24 hours about the arrest of a longtime environmental activist in Cincinnati. At this stage, as is usually the case right after arrests, it’s hard to know exactly what’s going on. I think it’s important to get this information out, but also caution against speculation. That being […]

Hezbollah Tofu

Attention FBI and DHS. It’s time to raise the color-coded threat level. It seems the vegan “eco-terrorists” have joined forces with the “A-rab terrorists” (pronounced ayyy-rahb, with a Texas twang), and started Hezbollah Tofu.

How to Make the Iraq War “Green”

I couldn’t resist posting this, in light of the recent controversy near Seattle, where luxury “green” homes were burned and the FBI suspects the Earth Liberation Front. Message boards and blogs have been lit by a surprising amount of support for the (alleged) motivations of the crime, and folks railing against “green washing.” (More on […]

Radio and Print Coverage From Austin Green Scare Event

KVRX radio also aired the audio of my talk (the intro is from a student). Apologies if some parts are confusing, because I was using a projector for images and that doesn’t translate well for radio. But anyway, here it is. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Also, The Daily Texan covered the event, […]

Before the Smoke Even Clears in Seattle, Bringing Out the T-Word

UPDATE: This blog post was also published by Counterpunch, on March 07, 2008. Multi-million dollar mansions in a Seattle suburb–each about 4,200-4,750 square feet, going for about $2 million a pop, touted as “green”– were burned Monday. About $7 million in damage on the “Street of Dreams.” Nobody injured, nobody home. But before the smoke […]

Green Scare Banner Drop in Worcester

This “banner drop” was outside the Earth Crisis show in Worcester to “call attention to the Green Scare, celebrate Jeff Luer’s shortened sentence, make leap day more fun, etc.” There’s more at Worcester Indymedia: On Friday February 29th, Leap Day, Worcester Activists Welcomed Earth Crisis concertgoers with a banner that read WELCOME TO WORCESTER—DON’T BE […]

Mass Jailings Planned During the Red Scare

Another reason to oppose the “eco-terrorism” rhetoric, and “Homegrown Terrorism” legislation, is that it eerily paves the way for things like this. I started using the analogy between the Red Scare and Green Scare simply to make a larger point, and it has been truly frightening to see the specific similarities between the two, right […]
