PRISONERS Women Fighting in camp dejected Jojoy has not yet been identified would not be the 'Dutch' Leonard Peltier
The Guillermo Mendoza Diago prosecutor said a first confrontation of the dental records of the only three women so far has not been identified suggests that it is Tanja Nijmeijer. So far
Legal Medicine has identified seven of the eight deaths, including which is the highest military commander of the FARC, Victor Julio Suarez Rojas, alias "Mono Jojoy. Authorities
Legal Medicine reported that four people have come to claim the other bodies but none has adequately tested the relationship so far has not delivered any of those killed in Operation Sodom.
Tanja Nijmeijer's mother and Dutch authorities have asked the Colombian government to perform a new check to rule Nijmeijer's death in Operation Sodom. "
In principle, this possibility had been ruled out but intelligence information, which states that the Netherlands itself was assigned to the guerrilla group who cared Jojoy, cast doubt on the authorities. Nijmeijer
born in Denekamp in the province of Overijssel and studied English at the University of Groningen. In 2000 he lived for a year and a year later Pereira traveled the country in the 'Ride for Life' to draw attention to the situation of poverty of peasants in Colombia.

Arthur Penn (1922-2010) resigned to
Today dying Arthur Penn, one of the great innovators of cinema and, objectively, one of the greatest of all time. Investigator of the slow-motion ( Bonnie and Clyde was one of the first film to emphasize the violence through slow motion), a large technical team (B & C "the climactic shoot-out Was filmed with four different cameras, all running at different speeds "), an expert connoisseur and theater director, gradually disappears from the world of cinema to the mid-80s, between theater and TV - and well-deserved rest. His films are all to be recovered, but are essential in addition to B & C: The Left Handed Gun, which influenced western Peckinpah and the whole new wave of post-western years 1960-1970, Mickey One (unpublished), a thesis on film-noir reminiscent of the Japanese and French New Wave, Little Big Man, Missouri, Four Friends and poignant post-noir Night Moves, a G.

Inactive for some time as a director, but here and there a teacher and TV producer, Penn did not leave behind any regrets, however, with such a career, and hopefully will be well honored in recent days.

message on his birthday 66
September 6, 2010
sisters, brothers, friends, friends and any and all who support me,
wish I could sit at a table with each of you now. We could share a meal and reflect on the changes that have taken place in this world for the past 35 years or more. It is true, I look at things outside the walls (as much as possible.) I know that confusion reigns in the world and it pains me to think about native people in total poverty persists in reserves and urban neighborhoods all over America.
When I was young, I wanted to do was to make a difference in people's lives. The next week, I meet 66 years and still want to do this. But in my circumstances is difficult to have an impact. I suspect that even if I could get into the fight again, I still feel frustrated. All that remains is more than one person can accomplish. Still, I would like the opportunity to do my part.
When thinking about those days on the Pine Ridge reservation, which I remember the funeral. There were so many funerals ... So many families lost their loved ones.
There was a powerful force in operation at that time, with a single purpose: to eradicate all the Lakota people's resistance. We
(Traditional Oglala people and members of the American Indian Movement) did against the threat because we were trying to defend our people. We were right. We - and we - the right to survive.
were plundering our land, too ... in most cases for mining. Had not considered what to do with toxic waste. The rivers were filled with poison. What I say, there has been much change in that.
At that time, the reservation was torn by tribal conflict, and the federal government put together a group against another. The result was a long series of tragedies for the people of Pine Ridge ... and for the people who were present that day in June 1975.
take it from me sincerity that I understand the anguish and pain suffered by all, and I've lived through that suffering.
Countless times I have seen people lying on the witness stand and felt the door close.
I heard the judges admonish prosecutors to accept false evidence and in some cases, participation in the forgery.
In my case, the government withheld evidence, too. Or factories. Literally.
The courts now say these things not even questioned. So, I wonder: If the standard of American justice remains "beyond reasonable doubt" Why stay here?
The convictions of several people have been revoked due to a single violation of the Constitution. The number of constitutional violations in my case is amazing. However, I'm here, waiting for me to apply the same standard of justice.
I hope one day someone managed to put everything on the table to show the extent of the criminality of which I am a victim.
As you know, my parole was rejected last year. It is disappointing but I am not defeated. I am the bearer of the sacred pipe and dancing to the Sun Leave the struggle is not, and never will be - conceivably for me.
Indian man and I'm proud of it. I love my people and my culture and my spirituality. My enemies and seek to suggest otherwise steal my dignity. In that, they will not succeed.
look back at the years that have passed, I remember all the good people that I have defended it for one day or a decade. Of course, there are many people who have always supported me. I think of the hundreds of thousands of people around the world who have signed petitions to me - from people in the poorest reservations to senior political officials.
As we have learned over the years, my freedom will not come quickly or easily. We will have to fight hard to achieve. I ask you to continue helping my Committee and my legal team as they have always done. Now his support is more important than ever. The win my freedom will be the result largely of the actions you take for me.
Again, thank you for remembering me. You can not imagine the comfort that you have brought an innocent man locked out of the world for so long.
Doksha,

CLEANING IN HOTEL IS STILL A FACTOR CRITICAL
The floors are dirty and the bathrooms in the lobby of the factors affecting the choice of most travelers do not return at a certain hotel. Many people think, In fact, the cleaning is nowadays widely recognized in all hotels. But apparently not. At least according to a report in a recent survey conducted by American services company, Cintas, a sample of over a thousand U.S. citizens. Interesting also is to note that the perception of many negative experiences with the changing age. 63% of respondents over 65, for example, said they did not tolerate the hotels that do not report the presence of wet floors: a contingency, the latter considered unacceptable only 37% of respondents aged between 18 and 34. "Consumers are now available for a wide range of hotel deals, "said the senior vice president of Cintas Facility Services, Mike Thompson. "We expect, therefore, to find you a room and common areas clean, regardless of the level of the hotel and its location. The research confirms that a high standard of cleanliness is still a critical factor in determining the success of a hotel. "

This fast that began in this part of Wallmapu (Ancestral Land) is a concrete way to accompany our Mapuche Political Prisoners meet Friday 68 days in hunger strike in prisons of Concepción, Temuco, Angol, Lebu, Valdivia and Chol-Chol.
This measure is intended to return to the government demanding immediate compliance Piñera to the demands of our brethren who risk their lives by:
1 - End the Terrorism Act and Pinochet Mapuche causes application.
2 - End the double processing (civilian and military justice) in Mapuche causes.
3 - Freedom to all Mapuche political prisoners.

In recent years, the Mapuche were killed: Alex Lemún (2002), Matías Catrileo (2008) and Jaime Mendoza Collio (2009). All shot by the state in recovering land.
In this resistance that has more than 200 years, the Mapuche people goes through a process of re-building, recovery and defense of territory, demanding full recognition of rights, progress in the projection of life and our ancient philosophy throughout the Mapuche (from sea to sea).
At 68 days into this drastic measure our brothers have fallen more than 20 kg and more and more aggravated his health.

Therefore, the government of Piñera and power wingka must take responsibility for what may happen to our brothers and their lives.
condemn the policy of criminalization and violence without limits of "Chile bicentennial" which remains in jail under the application Mapuche Pinochet-terrorism law, the same dictator who used to chase, disappearing and killing political dissidents. Chile now has the luxury of being the first Latin American country that applies the anti-terrorist legislation against minors.
Finally we call on our people to express and intensify protests throughout the Mapuche (from sea to sea) in support and the lives of our people. We are not chile, we are not Argentina! Mapunche Inchin ta! Nothing to celebrate! 200 years of Mapuche Resistance!

Chile Argentina - The high school footage in the media: map to "military" against direct action. Were Anarchists
For more media attack there, a fight will not fall for it. However, chronic with "warnings" of infiltration, speeches to parents, and even attempts to ridicule, are operations that can do much for those who are not embedded (but crossed) by a struggle to feel that this is not legitimate, or at least not much. Tap off the high schools in the Federal Capital, the usual display devices discursive media of the bourgeoisie put in place, had this time a star: the "infiltration". Here sought to trace the figures used by media discourse for education policy split in order to have a map of beliefs and platitudes (bourgeoisie) that eventually we will face struggles as players in education.
The operation of such devices is not linear and can not have someone listening to a publisher, be placed directly against a process of struggle. However, the figures that create these discourses (such as "infiltrators" among students, or simply "lazy students") are boyando somewhere in memory, until something activates them (which may be a student angry about not order to pursue a reactionary professor, or something simpler, like a little rain, etc). Course The speeches in favor of carrying out a process of struggle also generate their latent devices. However, it is precisely at times to unleash a process opened by a particular claim (such as high school students today) when you also struggle to assert a discursive devices to others, and therein lies the battle for legitimacy. Stakeholders will participate actively in the fight (for or against it), and they give nothing back. But there will also be constituted as such actors to whom you need to play to join the fight, and it is important to discuss face to face with bourgeois beliefs that seek to expand (or already extended).
I say the "infiltrator"
"We will return to ask the courts to give us a tool to clearly identify the kids in school are school students," said Education Minister Buenos Aires, Esteban Bullrich (http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-152261-2010-08-30.html). The "infiltration" was one of the figures or tables that several government ministers stirred to extend the idea that if schools are taken, it is because there are groups interested in flipping kirchneristas Macri, not because the roofs of schools falling apart (as expands Rodríguez Larreta, to acknowledge that there are "areas of Chavez in Argentina and the Cámpora" to "make schools and kids to lose a school day for politics" http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/ subnotas/152261-48921-2010-08-30.html). "All the comrades who were making clothes for your own colleagues?" Is a question that sets in advance the possibility that someone in making a school, is not there, and that any chronicler of a mobile journalist floor can make a student pass. At least the occasional moment when interviewed doubt about the provenance of all the people he saw (natural question, since humans we have the wonderful gift of forgetting), making the camera will be clipped to repeat over and over that moment of doubt. The following logical chain is part of the task of a bourgeois intellectual box: if in doubt, it is because someone is sure the school is not, if there is someone who is not the school, you're probably doing "politics"; and (obviously) if someone is bad policy. This simple chain works on the budget unfortunately has de-legitimization of political activity in Argentina, due to causes beyond the modesty of this writing.
However, in order to activate the discourse which refers to "infiltrators" in the footage, the media could only use the words of the bourgeoisie, and which could not easily find them unprepared students who stepped on a stick simpler than it seems. Here is another point that gives fruit organizing to strike with a single fist (in this case, through the Unified Coordination of Secondary Students, CUES), which is that the discourse of individual schools has been relatively unified , and his contacts with the bourgeois press have been almost exclusively through spokesmen did not deviate from the guidelines that guide the struggle.
The idea of \u200b\u200b"infiltration" also alludes to the problem is endemic, ie it is but do not know where or to what extent. That is why Bullrich calls a "legal tool": A stylish way to ask to use police procedure is known as within secondary schools to look for scapegoats to corroborate the idea of \u200b\u200binfiltration, basing a repressive regime issue around which always turns the state.
The most laughable of the matter is reached, when once the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving police in search of high school students fighting for their claims were exposed, extended, criticized and even declared unconstitutional (http://www.tn.com .ar/sociedad/112687/declaran-inconstitucional-identificar-alumnos-que-tomen-colegios). Infobae
tried to be the lead back to the arguments. "In between takes, is a student group dedicated to spy on colleagues: FEL, a group akin to the Labour Party, which prepares reports on high school students where they can be branded with contempt as" apolitical "or" faccionalizados "in reference those opposed to the group "(http://www.infobae.com/general/534920-101275-0-En-medio-las-tomas-hay-una-agrupacion-estudiantil-que-se-dedica-espiar -peers) writes the portal known for its poor journalistic skills. The note only deals with the verbose opinion going from a militant. While they may be criticized the militant said (Other issues, such as its marked sexism), it is not sighted in policing such a claim to seek those who do not support the fight. That is something that completes the middle and taking advantage makes the question was installed in advance, even if the minister who claimed Bullrich permits to suppress. Criminal
, alcoholic, lazy, or otherwise, gullible and innocent
"Ramal ..." reflects the cerebral Eduardo Feinman. "This is not an active member of the Labor Party? This confirms that this is totally politicized, that there are adults filling her head with the kids "(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSPxc5t8aGA). Beyond the clear Police dial keeps journalist and contributing to the process of persecution mentioned above, another aspect that refutes this statement is the constant consideration of the adolescent (or the "young" in general), as subjects unable to fend for themselves and eternally unable to decide anything. Moreover, full Feinman reflection by adding to this basic structure is thought to adolescence from bourgeois parameters, with that in the unlikely event that high school students decided to something about their lives, surely it is because someone injected them from outside.
"The authorities withdrew to make a criminal complaint. By leaving the school in the hands of children, being that they are teenagers, it was like to leave gas in the fire. They're teenagers and think they have the world ahead. This needs to download, you have to turn down the decibels "(minute 7:43), says the father of a student during the seizure of Normal No. 6, located in the neighborhood of Belgarno (http://www.clarin.com / sociedad/educacion/colegios_tomados-Ciudad_0_323967795.html). This testimony shows how at the time that high school students take a job on their hands than their parents and the teachers were unable or unwilling to carry out, are lifted from the perspective speeches and paternalistic protector (which implies understand this innate weakness which "Protects" or on which show). Students decide what, it sure is wrong in principle, from an alleged immaturity given by age, while the same "adults" now complain about the footage left high school students go through their noses for decades of dismantling state education.
Besides, the criminal complaint is referred to an alleged admission of alcohol at school during the shooting. This question is usually something stirring about teenagers in general and even more in a process of student struggle. Surely, many parents of students who stood up to fight, today will be hoping that their children will again be those alcoholics and drug addicts who lived burst weekend, went through life unconcerned about social conflicts in the country today as they were characterized in general. Luckily (and not so luckily) many side today show a maturity that should give envy.
division between content ("fair") and shape ("wrong")
no progress to a roof fall, sometimes politically incorrect, and the middle classes of the Federal Capital are specialists in trying to not look bad a microphone (although, of course, always the fascist component of the country's wealthiest district, classes means always try to "save face" ... not to risk a lot and that the known). This is something that can be seen in a chronicle of the daily La Nación "The curious locals peered while advancing column of adolescents, but those polled by La Nacion did not approve the method. "I feel good that claim by their schools, but not how. This hurts businesses, "said Leonardo Gonzalez, an employee of an optical Corrientes Avenue (http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1296619). Usual this comment. However, the question "What would be the way?" Is rarely made by means bourgeois to his occasional interview, as they only have to de-legitimize the action. After a chronic editorializing means by the word of an occasional passerby and the question is there. However
more brutal fascism of the Argentine media now has a champion: Eduardo Feinman (brutal, especially for his eloquence and little plot development.) In this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stnoWZ5C_zk&feature=player_embedded) shows that the journalist does give his vision of what form (bourgeois) to settle things: the law for this view petitions would have to make a thousand individual and expect a minister pay attention to any such petitions. However, the student interviewed endlessly repeats the number of formal exhausted from the state to be responsive to the situation, until now decided to take direct action before taking the schools. So, it seems absurd compared to the creed of bourgeois law is a form that is carried forward by organizing, solidarity and direct action that break with individualism delegation which was conceived bourgeois right. Therein lies the need to divide the question.
The cultural battle is also the class struggle ...
discuss the split being sought between those who fight and those who "study" is to the cultural battle in every discussion with a classmate, a teacher or a parent. If our classmates interpret the fighting for better education is not (or should be) he (or the mate sitting next to him) who carries out, then the policy delegation mechanism will (and currently ) paid to ground beef political representation.
As anarchist militants believe it is necessary to give this discussion to make our fellow students and teachers to develop their political activity with the methods of direct action.

For more media attack there, a fight will not fall for it. However, chronic with "warnings" of infiltration, speeches to parents, and even attempts to ridicule, are operations that can do much for those who are not embedded (but crossed) by a struggle to feel that this is not legitimate, or at least not much. Tap off the high schools in the Federal Capital, the usual display devices discursive media of the bourgeoisie put in place, had this time a star: the "infiltration". Here sought to trace the figures used by media discourse for education policy split in order to have a map of beliefs and platitudes (bourgeoisie) that eventually we will face struggles as players in education.
The operation of such devices is not linear and can not have someone listening to a publisher, be placed directly against a process of struggle. However, the figures that create these discourses (such as "infiltrators" among students, or simply "lazy students") are boyando somewhere in memory, until something activates them (which may be a student angry about not order to pursue a reactionary professor, or something simpler, like a little rain, etc). Course The speeches in favor of carrying out a process of struggle also generate their latent devices. However, it is precisely at times to unleash a process opened by a particular claim (such as high school students today) when you also struggle to assert a discursive devices to others, and therein lies the battle for legitimacy. Stakeholders will participate actively in the fight (for or against it), and they give nothing back. But there will also be constituted as such actors to whom you need to play to join the fight, and it is important to discuss face to face with bourgeois beliefs that seek to expand (or already extended).
I say the "infiltrator"
"We will return to ask the courts to give us a tool to clearly identify the kids in school are school students," said Education Minister Buenos Aires, Esteban Bullrich (http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-152261-2010-08-30.html). The "infiltration" was one of the figures or tables that several government ministers stirred to extend the idea that if schools are taken, it is because there are groups interested in flipping kirchneristas Macri, not because the roofs of schools falling apart (as expands Rodríguez Larreta, to acknowledge that there are "areas of Chavez in Argentina and the Cámpora" to "make schools and kids to lose a school day for politics" http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/ subnotas/152261-48921-2010-08-30.html). "All the comrades who were making clothes for your own colleagues?" Is a question that sets in advance the possibility that someone in making a school, is not there, and that any chronicler of a mobile journalist floor can make a student pass. At least the occasional moment when interviewed doubt about the provenance of all the people he saw (natural question, since humans we have the wonderful gift of forgetting), making the camera will be clipped to repeat over and over that moment of doubt. The following logical chain is part of the task of a bourgeois intellectual box: if in doubt, it is because someone is sure the school is not, if there is someone who is not the school, you're probably doing "politics"; and (obviously) if someone is bad policy. This simple chain works on the budget unfortunately has de-legitimization of political activity in Argentina, due to causes beyond the modesty of this writing.
However, in order to activate the discourse which refers to "infiltrators" in the footage, the media could only use the words of the bourgeoisie, and which could not easily find them unprepared students who stepped on a stick simpler than it seems. Here is another point that gives fruit organizing to strike with a single fist (in this case, through the Unified Coordination of Secondary Students, CUES), which is that the discourse of individual schools has been relatively unified , and his contacts with the bourgeois press have been almost exclusively through spokesmen did not deviate from the guidelines that guide the struggle.
The idea of \u200b\u200b"infiltration" also alludes to the problem is endemic, ie it is but do not know where or to what extent. That is why Bullrich calls a "legal tool": A stylish way to ask to use police procedure is known as within secondary schools to look for scapegoats to corroborate the idea of \u200b\u200binfiltration, basing a repressive regime issue around which always turns the state.
The most laughable of the matter is reached, when once the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving police in search of high school students fighting for their claims were exposed, extended, criticized and even declared unconstitutional (http://www.tn.com .ar/sociedad/112687/declaran-inconstitucional-identificar-alumnos-que-tomen-colegios). Infobae
tried to be the lead back to the arguments. "In between takes, is a student group dedicated to spy on colleagues: FEL, a group akin to the Labour Party, which prepares reports on high school students where they can be branded with contempt as" apolitical "or" faccionalizados "in reference those opposed to the group "(http://www.infobae.com/general/534920-101275-0-En-medio-las-tomas-hay-una-agrupacion-estudiantil-que-se-dedica-espiar -peers) writes the portal known for its poor journalistic skills. The note only deals with the verbose opinion going from a militant. While they may be criticized the militant said (Other issues, such as its marked sexism), it is not sighted in policing such a claim to seek those who do not support the fight. That is something that completes the middle and taking advantage makes the question was installed in advance, even if the minister who claimed Bullrich permits to suppress. Criminal
, alcoholic, lazy, or otherwise, gullible and innocent
"Ramal ..." reflects the cerebral Eduardo Feinman. "This is not an active member of the Labor Party? This confirms that this is totally politicized, that there are adults filling her head with the kids "(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSPxc5t8aGA). Beyond the clear Police dial keeps journalist and contributing to the process of persecution mentioned above, another aspect that refutes this statement is the constant consideration of the adolescent (or the "young" in general), as subjects unable to fend for themselves and eternally unable to decide anything. Moreover, full Feinman reflection by adding to this basic structure is thought to adolescence from bourgeois parameters, with that in the unlikely event that high school students decided to something about their lives, surely it is because someone injected them from outside.
"The authorities withdrew to make a criminal complaint. By leaving the school in the hands of children, being that they are teenagers, it was like to leave gas in the fire. They're teenagers and think they have the world ahead. This needs to download, you have to turn down the decibels "(minute 7:43), says the father of a student during the seizure of Normal No. 6, located in the neighborhood of Belgarno (http://www.clarin.com / sociedad/educacion/colegios_tomados-Ciudad_0_323967795.html).

The detainees are interrogated on the subject of their involvement in the incident near the RF Embassy in Minsk, at the territory of which Molotov cocktails were pelted.
The agency reports, the young people were jointly renting a flat in one of the Minsk districts. Early in the morning the door bell rang in their flat and one of the young men opened the door. Law enforcement officers in civilian clothes burst into the flat and transported young men who were there to GUBOP Interior Ministry of Belarus for interrogation. The flat was searched; five computers, two laptops, mobile phones, money, posters and magazines were confiscated.
Maximal detention term without arraignment makes up 72 hours in Belarus. The prosecutor may prolong this term up to 10 days.

1) What We Know About the Discovery Channel Gunman
x AOL News Surge Desk
(Sept. 1) -- The Discovery Channel abruptly entered headlines Wednesday afternoon for an awful reason: a hostage crisis at the network's headquarters in Silver Spring, Md., involving an armed gunman, who the Web quickly identified as James Jay Lee or James Jae Lee, 43, of San Diego (hat tip: The Business Insider). After taking three hostages and negotiating with police for hours, Lee was shot and killed by officers.
Surge Desk lists what is known about Lee so far.
1. He Wrote A Lengthy, Rambling Manifesto
In the document, Lee accused humans of being the "most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around." It was posted at his website, www.savetheplanetprotest.com, which has crashed because of server overload. It can still be accessed via Google Cache.
2. He's Been Arrested Outside Discovery Channel HQ Before
In early 2008, Lee was arrested by Montgomery County Police on charges of littering and disorderly conduct for throwing money to attract a crowd outside the channel's headquarters, DCist reports. The blog also noted that "Lee appears to have spent thousands of dollars in advertising his protest plans in publications such as the Express," a free D.C.-area newspaper, "and hiring homeless people to beef up his presence."
DCist notes that a copy one of Lee's ads is available at The Silver Spring Singular. Here's another online promotion that Lee apparently put up at his own website.
3. He Went to Extraordinary Lengths to Protest the Channel
Elaborating on the DCist's claims that Lee spent significant money to stage bizarre protests in front of the network, the Maryland County Newspapers Online Gazette reported back in 2008 that:
Lee was arrested with about $21,000 in cash in the duffel bag he had with him at the protest, Meng testified. Johnson told Lee that he would get his bag of money back. Lee said he had sold several inherited properties in Maui, Hawaii, where he lived prior to moving to San Diego, to pay for the protest, including about $30,000 for full-page advertisements in newspapers. Lee said he had one property left, worth about $200,000, and had plans to give it away in a ''save the planet contest."
Here's video footage of Lee's "money toss" back in 2008, via the Village Voice:
4. He Was Allegedly Influenced by Al Gore's Film, 'An Inconvenient Truth'
Fox News anchor Shep Smith reported this afternoon that Lee experienced an "awakening" after seeing the former vice president's film about global warming.
5. He Was Allegedly Inspired by the Novel "My Ishmael"
A philosophical, eco-friendly novel about a talking ape from author Daniel Quinn.
6. He Was Sentenced to a Mental Institution
... For his previous Discovery Channel protest stunts, but never served time, instead being granted probation after 14 days in jail, TMZ reports.
7. He Has a MySpace
Under the username "Worldguardian," where he lists the following personal details:
Relationship status: Single
Here for: Networking, Friends
Orientation: Straight
Hometown: Hawaii
Body type: 5' 11" / Average
Ethnicity: Asian
Religion: Atheist
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Children: I don't want kids
Occupation: Research

2) James Lee Identified As Assailant At Discovery Channel Hostage Situation
by Colby Hall September 1st, 2010
Little is known about the the current hostage situation unfolding at the Silver Spring, Maryland offices of the Discovery Channel. And while the story is still very fluid, some interesting clues have been revealed. First, a lengthy screed has been posted on a website called Save The Planet Protest that opens with “The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY.” A Whois search of the registrant of that domain is listed as James Lee. Update: Alleged Discovery Channel HQ gunman ID’d as James Jay Lee; has history of protesting outside building.
Update: Lee’s MySpace Profile includes the following:
About me:
The idea I had to save the planet is here. Go to SaveThePlanetProtest.com to see what it is.
This document will be printed in the newspaper calling for protest against the networks. This is it, it’s happening.
SaveThePlanetProtest.com/protest.htm
February 15-23, 2008, from 9am to 9pm everyday until the Discovery network gives in.
Who I’d like to meet:
Environmentalists, scientists, readers of Daniel Quinn, and people who want to work toward a real change.
The Whois result offers little data, but does include the following:
Registrant:
James Lee c/o Free Private Reg
P.O. Box 81024
Burnaby, BC V5H 4K2
CA
Domain name: SAVETHEPLANETPROTEST.COM
Administrative Contact:
Lee, James savetheplanetprotest.com@freeprivateregistration.com
P.O. Box 81024
Burnaby, BC V5H 4K2
CA
852-3594-1708
It is reasonable to conclude that if the author of the screed on Save the Planet Protest is in fact involved in the hostage situation unfolding in Silver Springs, Maryland, then the registrant of that domain is also involved – or is likely the same person. All that has been reported by TBD.com is that the gunman has been identified as an Aisan male. Perhaps James Lee?
The full screed of Save The Planet Protest below, which ends “ These are the demands and sayings of Lee.”:
The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:
1. The Discovery Channel and it’s affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn’s “My Ishmael” pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other’s inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!
2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs’ places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.
3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!
4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn’t, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??
5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)
6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don’t build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!
7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people’s brains until they get it!!
8. Saving the Planet means saving what’s left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You’re the media, you can reach enough people. It’s your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!
9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.
10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development!
11. You’re also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more war.
Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what’s left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture.
For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human’s lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!
It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It’s like a couple are having 30 babies even though it’s just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too!
Also, war must be halted. Not because it’s morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!
The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.
Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.
The humans? The planet does not need humans.
You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY KNOW this!
I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.
These are the demands and sayings of Lee.

3) James Lee and Eco-Xenophobia
2 Sep
After protesting the Discovery Channel-US for years, James Jay Lee broke down. Entering the Discovery Channel building in Silver Springs, Maryland, and taking three hostages, Lee released a series of demands for what he believed to be true environmental solutions. He is dead now, shot by police, and his hostages have been rescued. His legacy is now the only thing that remains.
According to his demands, war is bad, immigration is bad, food production leads to starvation, human reproduction is disgusting, and it is incumbent upon the Discovery Channel to mend global warming as well as overpopulation. (Oh, and by the way, according to Demand #1: The Discovery Channel and it’s affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn’s My Ishmael pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other’s inventive ideas.”)
With regards to the anti-immigrant position of groups like Apply The Breaks, and people like James Lee who echo their rhetoric, The Earth First! Journal Collective has drafted this statement on our position.
While we agree that civilization, population and human consumption are pressing issues creating obstacles to biodiversity and environmental justice, we do not see how the anti-immigrant, pro-border solutions of keeping people and wildlife walled into divided territories and militarized borders, re-enforcing historical colonization, addresses any of those issues.
We, as a collective, and as members of a movement, share the common goal of making connections with other cultures of resistance to the many ill symptoms of industrial civilization which belittles, exploits and destroys all forms of life on this planet.
The current members of this collective are allied to movements struggling against racism, class-domination, capitalism, globalization, sexism, homophobia, urbanism, speciesism, etc. because we believe that all these struggles are inherently connected in fighting the same ills.
While we recognize the urgency of ecological crisis, We see no reason why scapegoating immigrants is anything but a distraction, and much worse, a lingering sentiment of the Manifest Destiny mindset.

Statement from the Earth First! Journal collective, 9/1/2010
Earlier this month, the Center for New Community (CNC) released a report on Apply The Brakes (ATB), a recently formed pro-border, anti-immigrant voice coming from many well-known environmentalists. While it appeared at first glance to be only the newest attempt in a long history of xenophobic environmentalists attempting to manipulating the broader ecology movement towards their own ends (as an extension of the famed John Tanton network), but there are some elements more relevant to Earth First! here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tanton)
First, ATB includes the vocal support of several former Earth First!ers, including Dave Foreman and George Wuerthner (their website make multiple reference to EF!, including a claim that it was founded by David Brower—who they claim as a posthumous affliate of their group!).
Second, The CNC study came at an interesting time. In the midst of debate around the report—most specifically a particular depressing, off-base exchange between CNC and Captain Paul Watson—the Discovery Channel hostage scenario hit the news. In a sad blend of courage and nonsense, James Lee manifested the fears of immigrant advocates wary of the radical ecology movement at large.
(http://imagine2050.newcomm.org/2010/09/01/population-control-alarmist-attacksdiscovery-channel-headquarters/)
Oddly, the statement that follows was written the week prior to the Discovery Channel Hostage situation as an interjection from the Earth First! Journal collective to the CNC vs. Watson debate. We felt our position as a recognized voice of radical ecology situated in the borderlands could be of value. Today, September 2, 2010, we feel that value has an even broader relevance.
This much we can agree on: there is a war against the Earth and we cannot stay neutral and observe passively. Where our common ground with people such as Paul Watson and Dave Foreman exists from there, it is unclear.
We view industrial civilization as the primary aggressor of this war. The same system that dominates the planet has succeeded in dominating most people on the planet as well. Despite this general agreement among current active participants in the Earth First! movement, many among us still experience the feeling of misanthropy (and some still embrace it wholly). But even for those who view attacks on the planet stemming from the human species (rather than the systems that dominate it), we on the EF! Journal collective fail to see how that equates aligning yourself with white nationalists, right-wing nativists and border militarization rather than immigrant campesinos, refugees and the youth of undocumented families fghting to stop their parents and siblings from deportation? How does keeping people behind walls address global population?
From Paul Watson’s letter it is diffcult to tell if he even read the report or watched the video sent to him about Apply The Brakes (ATB) by Center for New Community (CNC). Does he disagree with the documentation presented about ATB affiliations with known racists and xenophobes who are classifed as hate groups by multiple sources? Does he have some information to counter this? Or is he indifferent to it because he agrees so strongly with their strategy for urgent action—which, according to their website, entails writing generic form letters to elected offcials about population increase and immigration in the United States? Since when did Paul Watson think writing form letters to congress was the best way to get results anyway?
And to what end? What we have seen from the loudest anti-immigrant groups have been expanded border walls through sensitive desert bioregions and indigenous land; “national security” measures which override federal environmental protection, such as REAL ID Act and Secure Borders Initiative; and legislative efforts like HR4437 in 2006 and SB 1070 in Arizona this year aimed at increasing the police state power to criminalize people for crossing arbitrary borders established through wars of colonial conquest and empire building.
Watson’s letter states: “By the way I'm all for unrestricted immigration by wolves, bears, fsh, birds and any other non-exotic formally native species wishing to return home.”
When’s the last time Paul was in the borderlands? Does he know that they’ve been building and expanding massive walls across the desert for almost twenty years; that Audubon and Sierra Club lawsuits against construction of the wall in sensitive areas of Texas and Arizona were thrown out of federal court for the same “national security” reasons hailed by ATB?
The last known jaguar in the southwestern U.S. was killed last year. State biologists and other liberals say it doesn’t matter because they’ll never live here again anyway. They’re right—militarization and border wall expansion will likely ensure that a Mexican jaguar never makes it to this half of their range again.
If you’re nor worried about jaguars, how about endangered pygmy owls and Sonoran Pronghorn antelope in Arizona; fat-tailed horned lizard and peninsular bighorn sheep in California; the grey wolf in New Mexico; Big Bend National Park, Cabeza Prieta National Refuge, Organ Pipe National Monument, the San Pedro and Rio Grande Rivers, all bisected by the borders ATB praises.
Stephen Mumme, an expert on borderland ecology at Colorado State University says that current border policy presents an extremely high threat to biodiversity, “right up there with the most serious and long-term adverse consequences for the environment created by humankind—right up there with the worst instances of urbanization, the worst instances of damming up our rivers.”
Desert ecologist, Daniel Patterson, with the Center for Biological Diversity, said “the only living things the walls won’t stop are people” (millions of them, who continue coming in direct relation to global economic pressures.)
So, has anything good come of anti-immigrant bigotry masquerading as ecology or xenophobes using ecologists to their own ends? We would venture to say yes: one thing. Judging from the short CNC video of young people in New York confronting the Weeden Foundation for financing the Tanton Network (specifically the slick new image of ATB) it has mobilized a whole new generation of activists, many of whom seem to realize they are facing the latest face of Manifest Destiny. The same Manifest Destiny that cleared the vast majority of ancient forests, wiped out the buffalo and drove millions into the agricultural and industrial slavery that continues today.
For our part, we have made a conscious decision to side with immigrant activists, many of whom come from land-based communities and know more closely the practical reality of living with the earth instead of against it.
While we are not necessarily interested in the “economic renewal” proposed by Center for New Communities, we don’t see ATB calling for the end of industrial civilization either. In fact, the contrary—where former Earth First!ers like Dave Foreman and George Wuerthner once spoke of the need to deindustrialize the entire society, they now speak as defenders of status quo as self-described leaders of ATB. Their decision is a turncoat alliance with the system that is killing the planet.
In years 20 past, we have increasingly parted ways with some of the prominent old guard deep ecologists over the subject of population and immigration. Today, we find much of that debate is over. There is no way to be a committed biocentrist in support of a regime of colonial borders, devastating walls through bioregions and the fortification of the police state intended to keep the current system intact.
“One of the key concepts of bioregionalism is that modern political boundaries have no relationship to natural ecological provinces. Bioregionalists argue that human society—and therefore, politics and economics—should be based on natural ecosystems. They fnd affnity with Indian tribes and with Basque, Welsh, and Kurdish separatists, and have no sympathy with the modern nation-state, empire, or mutinational corporation.” Sound familiar? Who could have written those words but Dave Foreman himself in his 1991 hardback, Confessions of an Eco-Warrior. (Harmony Books. NYC, 1991. pp. 43)
For those who do not have the wax too far in their ears, we ask you to refect your position on biocentrism and deep ecology in relation to your alignment with ATB.
In our effort to form an appropriate response to end the war against the Earth, where will we search for allies—among right-wing elitist think tanks or among ground level movements of people facing off with power?
It’s been an easy choice for us.
In solidarity with the wild & for full freedom of movement to all species!

5) What is the Anti-civilization movement?
Broadly speaking we can say that as long as civilization has existed there have been those that have opposed it. So-called “primitive” societies have always resisted falling under the yoke of civilization from the forgotten tribes of Mesopotamia, to the native peoples of North America and Africa, to the least remaining primitive societies in deepest Amazonia and Papua New Guinea. civilization has destroyed the ancient, earth-based traditions of countless societies and replaced them with a monotonous, unsustainable and oppressive system. civilization has denuded the Earth of vast forests in its ever-increasing desire for
more agricultural land and has enslaved humans, animals and plants in the process.
Slaves and primitives are not the only ones to have rebelled against civilization. The privileged classes of civilized societies have also had their rebels, including: Henry David Thoreau, Edward Carpenter, Ralph Borsodi and Sigmund Freud. Among Europeans of the era of colonization the trope of the “noble savage” became popular, due mostly to reports of the uncivilized ways of life of native Americans. The first hand accounts of the colonization of the United States are full of mentions of whites and blacks that willingly left civilized life to go live with the indians. Even today anthropologists and others feel the urge to “go native.”
As the anti-civilization tendency has built momentum in recent decades three distinct threads of anti-civilization thought have emerged. The first is that of Daniel Quinn, whose philosophy James Lee embraced. The second is the wilderness protection theory and practice of Earth First!, Earth Liberation Front and other similar groups and individuals. The third is that of the Green Anarchists. Each of these approach the problem of civilization in different ways.
Daniel Quinn
Quinn is the least radical of the three tendencies. His proposals for overcoming civilization are vague and piecemeal. His non-fiction book Beyond Civilization outlines in the most detail his concept of the New Tribal Revolution. This Revolution would be brought about by “occupational tribalism,” something like a hybrid of small business and circus troupe. These tribes would be semi-self-sufficient, exchanging goods and services with one another. An original concept, but it seems unlikely to truly challenge capitalism, let alone civilization. Quinn can be described as a reformist. The violent actions that took place at the Discovery Channel are surely not ones he would endorse. Curiously, Lee referred only specifically to a passage from Quinn's novel My Ishmael:
One: The revolution won't take place all at once. It's not going to be any sort of coup d'etat like the French or Russian revolutions.
Two: It will be achieved incrementally, by people working off each other's ideas. This is the great driving innovation of the Industrial Revolution.
Three: It will be led by no one. Like the Industrial Revolution, it will need no shepherd, no organizer, no spearhead, no pacesetter, no mastermind at the top; it will be too much for anyone to lead.
Four: It will not be the initiative of any political, governmental, or religious body — again, like the Industrial Revolution. Some will doubtless want to claim to be its supporters and protectors; there are always leaders ready to step forward once others have shown the way.
Five: It has no targeted end point. Why should it have an end point?
Six: It will proceed according to no plan. How on earth could there be a plan?
Seven: It will reward those who further the revolution with the coin of the revolution. In the Industrial Revolution, those who contributed much in the way of product wealth received much in the way of product wealth; in the New Tribal Revolution, those who contribute much in the way of support will receive much in the way of support.
The idea of building a resistance to civilization informed by the Industrial Revolution is paradoxical, but Quinn's ideas may possibly have some merit. Lee's desperate attempt to have these ideas disseminated failed utterly. He did not even include this quote in the text of his manifesto.
Population
Besides the brief reference to Daniel Quinn's work, the rest of the manifesto draws mostly from the familiar theoretical ground of human overpopulation. Lee makes several explicit references to the work of Thomas Malthus. Malthus, an 18th Century English clergyman is best remembered for his theory of human population growth. According to Malthus human population increases exponentially, while human food supply only grows incrementally. Thus, Malthus believed that inevitably humanity would be pressed into devastating wars over scarce food. Though such a catastrophe has not yet occurred, Malthusian population theory has not died out in popularity. It has had a consistent presence among ecological movements since at least the first Earth Day.
Anarchists have criticized the Malthusian population theory from its inception. It has frequently served those in power as a justification for authoritarian measures. Paul Ehrlich and John Holdren (the latter now an adviser in the Obama administration) both wrote on the subject beginning in the late seventies. Among other draconian measures they have recommended at various times are:forced sterilization and releasing birth control chemicals into drinking water. Forced sterilization is a practice familiar to native American women in the United States and women and men of various ethnicities in European dictatorships, including Nazi Germany. It is an authoritarian, sexist and racist practice that denies women their physical autonomy and family planning initiative. Garrett Hardin applied the Malthusian theory to economics and came up with the concept of the “tragedy of the commons,” a not-so-subtle defence of capitalism and privatization with an ecological veneer.
Overpopulation has become an issue of choice for many elite. Several “think tanks” have been formed in recent decades, including the Optimum Population Trust
in the United Kingdom, which offer top-down “solutions” to overpopulation. Recently Bill Gates convened a small group of the ultra-wealthy to discuss their ideas for “solutions.” Though Green Anarchists do not usually deny that human overpopulation is a concern, we are explicit in our rejection of the authoritarian measures decided upon by the global ruling classes, usually most affecting the poorest and most exploited in Third World nations. Real, sustainable tactics to addressing this problem must come from educating women in their family planning options. In those instances where women are aware of the birth control options available to them, birth rate decreases dramatically. Other tactics, currently less thought out, would involve delegitimizing ideologies that promote unsustainable human population growth such as religions (especially Catholicism, Mormonism and Islam), nationalism and racism. Further, entrenched interests in many overdeveloped nations often use the spectre of rising population as justification for authoritarian anti-immigration efforts. Attempting to limit immigration to various nation-states neither addresses the problem, nor treats already living humans with dignity. Further, as anarchists we explicitly reject the State's interfering in free human movement.
Unfortunately the first generation of Earth First!ers, most notably co-founder Dave Foreman, accepted many of these authoritarian “solutions” to the population issue. As the wilderness defence movement has developed, however, the influence of Green Anarchism has mitigated these xenophobic and misanthropic tendencies. James Lee has exhibited much in his manifesto in the way of misanthropy, referring frequently to babies as “filth,” and blaming immigrants for rising population in the United States. Needless to say the criticism applied to other eco-radicals by Green Anarchists applies also to Lee.
Green Anarchist Trajectories
James Lee's actions were those of a deluded and hopeless soul. His plan was ill-conceived, though his target was deserving of the scorn he placed upon it. The capitalist media is a propaganda behemoth. The vast majority of television programming is decaying human minds throughout the world, and should be stopped by any means necessary. It would be wonderful if it could be replaced by edifying, intellectually stimulating programming, but this is a very unlikely occurrence in the near term.
Anarchism emphatically rejects reformism. Classical anarchism rejects the common notions that capitalism and the State can be reformed to be more humane and less oppressive. All efforts at reform have only made the oppression more subtle and sneaky, such as the illusion of choice offered by capitalism, whether in the form of competing products or hundreds of television channels. Green anarchism rejects the notion that civilization in its entirety can be gainfully reformed. Given civilization's 6000+ year track record it is clear that it functions through intimidation, murder (whether mass wars or state murder, AKA “execution,” “capital punishment'), oppression of women and ethnic minorities, destruction of nature, homogenization of culture, psychological manipulation, and finally the industrial regimentation of all life.
The discussion of tactics in Green Anarchism has barely begun. Many favour tactics borrowed from Earth First!/ELF. Others have begun trying to mentally, spiritually and technically “rewild.” As the movement grows we will come up with a diversity of tactics for addressing the problem of civilization.
These tactics must, and will, be guided by the ever-evolving theoretical structure of Green Anarchism. A wealth of theoretical works are already present on the Internet and in local radical bookstores/infoshops. Two specific trajectories are already being explored and will doubtless be elaborated in the years to come. First, the Malthusian theory of population, already disreputable and highly theoretically suspect, appears ready to be replaced by better ideas about human population growth. Biological science has long accepted food supply as a major factor in the levels of animal populations, yet has almost never considered food supply in relation to human population. It appears as though the anthropocentric bias leading to such a blatant oversight is gradually being addressed. In other words, if current biology is correct, Malthusian population theory is exactly the reverse of how population really works. Thus the belief that increasing food supply will stave off starvation (as was done in the “Green Revolution” of the seventies) may actually compound future catastrophe.
The second trajectory, which will likely eclipse the first, is only beginning to take shape. Many anti-civilization thinkers, most famously Derrick Jensen, are beginning to question science itself. Heretofore most of those that oppose science have done so from a religious, and therefore uncritical, stance. As the unofficial ideology of the current globalizing civilization, science is often claimed to be the only legitimate method of knowledge. Yet, so much of the human experience does not fall under the objective, standardizable, repeatable conditions necessary for scientific enquiry. It is unclear at this early stage what critiques of science in the anti-civilization movement will look like, but they will certainly cause a bit of conceptual reorientation. Much of the ecological aspects of anti-civilization thought, concepts derived from ecological science, will need to be re-examined as these critiques develop.
Whatever the future holds, it is for us to decide. The 6000+ year crisis of civilization will ultimately be a blip in human and world history. What the Earth will be like for millions of years to come will depend, at least in part, on what we do now. Whether the future of life on this planet will be of regeneration or further decimation depends on whether we have a courage to end civilization once and for all.

1) What We Know About the Discovery Channel Gunman
x AOL News Surge Desk
(Sept. 1) -- The Discovery Channel abruptly entered headlines Wednesday afternoon for an awful reason: a hostage crisis at the network's headquarters in Silver Spring, Md., involving an armed gunman, who the Web quickly identified as James Jay Lee or James Jae Lee, 43, of San Diego (hat tip: The Business Insider). After taking three hostages and negotiating with police for hours, Lee was shot and killed by officers.
Surge Desk lists what is known about Lee so far.
1. He Wrote A Lengthy, Rambling Manifesto
In the document, Lee accused humans of being the "most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around." It was posted at his website, www.savetheplanetprotest.com, which has crashed because of server overload. It can still be accessed via Google Cache.
2. He's Been Arrested Outside Discovery Channel HQ Before
In early 2008, Lee was arrested by Montgomery County Police on charges of littering and disorderly conduct for throwing money to attract a crowd outside the channel's headquarters, DCist reports. The blog also noted that "Lee appears to have spent thousands of dollars in advertising his protest plans in publications such as the Express," a free D.C.-area newspaper, "and hiring homeless people to beef up his presence."
DCist notes that a copy one of Lee's ads is available at The Silver Spring Singular. Here's another online promotion that Lee apparently put up at his own website.
3. He Went to Extraordinary Lengths to Protest the Channel
Elaborating on the DCist's claims that Lee spent significant money to stage bizarre protests in front of the network, the Maryland County Newspapers Online Gazette reported back in 2008 that:
Lee was arrested with about $21,000 in cash in the duffel bag he had with him at the protest, Meng testified. Johnson told Lee that he would get his bag of money back. Lee said he had sold several inherited properties in Maui, Hawaii, where he lived prior to moving to San Diego, to pay for the protest, including about $30,000 for full-page advertisements in newspapers. Lee said he had one property left, worth about $200,000, and had plans to give it away in a ''save the planet contest."
Here's video footage of Lee's "money toss" back in 2008, via the Village Voice:
4. He Was Allegedly Influenced by Al Gore's Film, 'An Inconvenient Truth'
Fox News anchor Shep Smith reported this afternoon that Lee experienced an "awakening" after seeing the former vice president's film about global warming.
5. He Was Allegedly Inspired by the Novel "My Ishmael"
A philosophical, eco-friendly novel about a talking ape from author Daniel Quinn.
6. He Was Sentenced to a Mental Institution
... For his previous Discovery Channel protest stunts, but never served time, instead being granted probation after 14 days in jail, TMZ reports.
7. He Has a MySpace
Under the username "Worldguardian," where he lists the following personal details:
Relationship status: Single
Here for: Networking, Friends
Orientation: Straight
Hometown: Hawaii
Body type: 5' 11" / Average
Ethnicity: Asian
Religion: Atheist
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Children: I don't want kids
Occupation: Research

2) James Lee Identified As Assailant At Discovery Channel Hostage Situation
by Colby Hall September 1st, 2010
Little is known about the the current hostage situation unfolding at the Silver Spring, Maryland offices of the Discovery Channel. And while the story is still very fluid, some interesting clues have been revealed. First, a lengthy screed has been posted on a website called Save The Planet Protest that opens with “The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY.” A Whois search of the registrant of that domain is listed as James Lee. Update: Alleged Discovery Channel HQ gunman ID’d as James Jay Lee; has history of protesting outside building.
Update: Lee’s MySpace Profile includes the following:
About me:
The idea I had to save the planet is here. Go to SaveThePlanetProtest.com to see what it is.
This document will be printed in the newspaper calling for protest against the networks. This is it, it’s happening.
SaveThePlanetProtest.com/protest.htm
February 15-23, 2008, from 9am to 9pm everyday until the Discovery network gives in.
Who I’d like to meet:
Environmentalists, scientists, readers of Daniel Quinn, and people who want to work toward a real change.
The Whois result offers little data, but does include the following:
Registrant:
James Lee c/o Free Private Reg
P.O. Box 81024
Burnaby, BC V5H 4K2
CA
Domain name: SAVETHEPLANETPROTEST.COM
Administrative Contact:
Lee, James savetheplanetprotest.com@freeprivateregistration.com
P.O. Box 81024
Burnaby, BC V5H 4K2
CA
852-3594-1708
It is reasonable to conclude that if the author of the screed on Save the Planet Protest is in fact involved in the hostage situation unfolding in Silver Springs, Maryland, then the registrant of that domain is also involved – or is likely the same person. All that has been reported by TBD.com is that the gunman has been identified as an Aisan male. Perhaps James Lee?
The full screed of Save The Planet Protest below, which ends “ These are the demands and sayings of Lee.”:
The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:
1. The Discovery Channel and it’s affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn’s “My Ishmael” pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other’s inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!
2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs’ places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.
3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!
4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn’t, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??
5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)
6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don’t build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!
7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people’s brains until they get it!!
8. Saving the Planet means saving what’s left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You’re the media, you can reach enough people. It’s your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!
9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.
10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development!
11. You’re also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more war.
Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what’s left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture.
For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human’s lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!
It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It’s like a couple are having 30 babies even though it’s just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too!
Also, war must be halted. Not because it’s morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!
The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.
Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.
The humans? The planet does not need humans.
You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY KNOW this!
I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.
These are the demands and sayings of Lee.

3) James Lee and Eco-Xenophobia
2 Sep
After protesting the Discovery Channel-US for years, James Jay Lee broke down. Entering the Discovery Channel building in Silver Springs, Maryland, and taking three hostages, Lee released a series of demands for what he believed to be true environmental solutions. He is dead now, shot by police, and his hostages have been rescued. His legacy is now the only thing that remains.
According to his demands, war is bad, immigration is bad, food production leads to starvation, human reproduction is disgusting, and it is incumbent upon the Discovery Channel to mend global warming as well as overpopulation. (Oh, and by the way, according to Demand #1: The Discovery Channel and it’s affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn’s My Ishmael pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other’s inventive ideas.”)
With regards to the anti-immigrant position of groups like Apply The Breaks, and people like James Lee who echo their rhetoric, The Earth First! Journal Collective has drafted this statement on our position.
While we agree that civilization, population and human consumption are pressing issues creating obstacles to biodiversity and environmental justice, we do not see how the anti-immigrant, pro-border solutions of keeping people and wildlife walled into divided territories and militarized borders, re-enforcing historical colonization, addresses any of those issues.
We, as a collective, and as members of a movement, share the common goal of making connections with other cultures of resistance to the many ill symptoms of industrial civilization which belittles, exploits and destroys all forms of life on this planet.
The current members of this collective are allied to movements struggling against racism, class-domination, capitalism, globalization, sexism, homophobia, urbanism, speciesism, etc. because we believe that all these struggles are inherently connected in fighting the same ills.
While we recognize the urgency of ecological crisis, We see no reason why scapegoating immigrants is anything but a distraction, and much worse, a lingering sentiment of the Manifest Destiny mindset.

4) eco-xenophobia EF!J statement
Confronting the eco-xenophobia of Apply The Breaks, Captain Paul Watson, James Lee and the whole lot of ‘em
Statement from the Earth First! Journal collective, 9/1/2010
Earlier this month, the Center for New Community (CNC) released a report on Apply The Brakes (ATB), a recently formed pro-border, anti-immigrant voice coming from many well-known environmentalists. While it appeared at first glance to be only the newest attempt in a long history of xenophobic environmentalists attempting to manipulating the broader ecology movement towards their own ends (as an extension of the famed John Tanton network), but there are some elements more relevant to Earth First! here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tanton)
First, ATB includes the vocal support of several former Earth First!ers, including Dave Foreman and George Wuerthner (their website make multiple reference to EF!, including a claim that it was founded by David Brower—who they claim as a posthumous affliate of their group!).
Second, The CNC study came at an interesting time. In the midst of debate around the report—most specifically a particular depressing, off-base exchange between CNC and Captain Paul Watson—the Discovery Channel hostage scenario hit the news. In a sad blend of courage and nonsense, James Lee manifested the fears of immigrant advocates wary of the radical ecology movement at large.
(http://imagine2050.newcomm.org/2010/09/01/population-control-alarmist-attacksdiscovery-channel-headquarters/)
Oddly, the statement that follows was written the week prior to the Discovery Channel Hostage situation as an interjection from the Earth First! Journal collective to the CNC vs. Watson debate. We felt our position as a recognized voice of radical ecology situated in the borderlands could be of value. Today, September 2, 2010, we feel that value has an even broader relevance.
This much we can agree on: there is a war against the Earth and we cannot stay neutral and observe passively. Where our common ground with people such as Paul Watson and Dave Foreman exists from there, it is unclear.
We view industrial civilization as the primary aggressor of this war. The same system that dominates the planet has succeeded in dominating most people on the planet as well. Despite this general agreement among current active participants in the Earth First! movement, many among us still experience the feeling of misanthropy (and some still embrace it wholly). But even for those who view attacks on the planet stemming from the human species (rather than the systems that dominate it), we on the EF! Journal collective fail to see how that equates aligning yourself with white nationalists, right-wing nativists and border militarization rather than immigrant campesinos, refugees and the youth of undocumented families fghting to stop their parents and siblings from deportation? How does keeping people behind walls address global population?
From Paul Watson’s letter it is diffcult to tell if he even read the report or watched the video sent to him about Apply The Brakes (ATB) by Center for New Community (CNC). Does he disagree with the documentation presented about ATB affiliations with known racists and xenophobes who are classifed as hate groups by multiple sources? Does he have some information to counter this? Or is he indifferent to it because he agrees so strongly with their strategy for urgent action—which, according to their website, entails writing generic form letters to elected offcials about population increase and immigration in the United States? Since when did Paul Watson think writing form letters to congress was the best way to get results anyway?
And to what end? What we have seen from the loudest anti-immigrant groups have been expanded border walls through sensitive desert bioregions and indigenous land; “national security” measures which override federal environmental protection, such as REAL ID Act and Secure Borders Initiative; and legislative efforts like HR4437 in 2006 and SB 1070 in Arizona this year aimed at increasing the police state power to criminalize people for crossing arbitrary borders established through wars of colonial conquest and empire building.
Watson’s letter states: “By the way I'm all for unrestricted immigration by wolves, bears, fsh, birds and any other non-exotic formally native species wishing to return home.”
When’s the last time Paul was in the borderlands? Does he know that they’ve been building and expanding massive walls across the desert for almost twenty years; that Audubon and Sierra Club lawsuits against construction of the wall in sensitive areas of Texas and Arizona were thrown out of federal court for the same “national security” reasons hailed by ATB?
The last known jaguar in the southwestern U.S. was killed last year. State biologists and other liberals say it doesn’t matter because they’ll never live here again anyway. They’re right—militarization and border wall expansion will likely ensure that a Mexican jaguar never makes it to this half of their range again.
If you’re nor worried about jaguars, how about endangered pygmy owls and Sonoran Pronghorn antelope in Arizona; fat-tailed horned lizard and peninsular bighorn sheep in California; the grey wolf in New Mexico; Big Bend National Park, Cabeza Prieta National Refuge, Organ Pipe National Monument, the San Pedro and Rio Grande Rivers, all bisected by the borders ATB praises.
Stephen Mumme, an expert on borderland ecology at Colorado State University says that current border policy presents an extremely high threat to biodiversity, “right up there with the most serious and long-term adverse consequences for the environment created by humankind—right up there with the worst instances of urbanization, the worst instances of damming up our rivers.”
Desert ecologist, Daniel Patterson, with the Center for Biological Diversity, said “the only living things the walls won’t stop are people” (millions of them, who continue coming in direct relation to global economic pressures.)
So, has anything good come of anti-immigrant bigotry masquerading as ecology or xenophobes using ecologists to their own ends? We would venture to say yes: one thing. Judging from the short CNC video of young people in New York confronting the Weeden Foundation for financing the Tanton Network (specifically the slick new image of ATB) it has mobilized a whole new generation of activists, many of whom seem to realize they are facing the latest face of Manifest Destiny. The same Manifest Destiny that cleared the vast majority of ancient forests, wiped out the buffalo and drove millions into the agricultural and industrial slavery that continues today.
For our part, we have made a conscious decision to side with immigrant activists, many of whom come from land-based communities and know more closely the practical reality of living with the earth instead of against it.
While we are not necessarily interested in the “economic renewal” proposed by Center for New Communities, we don’t see ATB calling for the end of industrial civilization either. In fact, the contrary—where former Earth First!ers like Dave Foreman and George Wuerthner once spoke of the need to deindustrialize the entire society, they now speak as defenders of status quo as self-described leaders of ATB. Their decision is a turncoat alliance with the system that is killing the planet.
In years 20 past, we have increasingly parted ways with some of the prominent old guard deep ecologists over the subject of population and immigration. Today, we find much of that debate is over. There is no way to be a committed biocentrist in support of a regime of colonial borders, devastating walls through bioregions and the fortification of the police state intended to keep the current system intact.
“One of the key concepts of bioregionalism is that modern political boundaries have no relationship to natural ecological provinces. Bioregionalists argue that human society—and therefore, politics and economics—should be based on natural ecosystems. They fnd affnity with Indian tribes and with Basque, Welsh, and Kurdish separatists, and have no sympathy with the modern nation-state, empire, or mutinational corporation.” Sound familiar? Who could have written those words but Dave Foreman himself in his 1991 hardback, Confessions of an Eco-Warrior. (Harmony Books. NYC, 1991. pp. 43)
For those who do not have the wax too far in their ears, we ask you to refect your position on biocentrism and deep ecology in relation to your alignment with ATB.
In our effort to form an appropriate response to end the war against the Earth, where will we search for allies—among right-wing elitist think tanks or among ground level movements of people facing off with power?
It’s been an easy choice for us.
In solidarity with the wild & for full freedom of movement to all species!

5) What is the Anti-civilization movement?
Broadly speaking we can say that as long as civilization has existed there have been those that have opposed it. So-called “primitive” societies have always resisted falling under the yoke of civilization from the forgotten tribes of Mesopotamia, to the native peoples of North America and Africa, to the least remaining primitive societies in deepest Amazonia and Papua New Guinea. civilization has destroyed the ancient, earth-based traditions of countless societies and replaced them with a monotonous, unsustainable and oppressive system. civilization has denuded the Earth of vast forests in its ever-increasing desire for
more agricultural land and has enslaved humans, animals and plants in the process.
Slaves and primitives are not the only ones to have rebelled against civilization. The privileged classes of civilized societies have also had their rebels, including: Henry David Thoreau, Edward Carpenter, Ralph Borsodi and Sigmund Freud. Among Europeans of the era of colonization the trope of the “noble savage” became popular, due mostly to reports of the uncivilized ways of life of native Americans. The first hand accounts of the colonization of the United States are full of mentions of whites and blacks that willingly left civilized life to go live with the indians. Even today anthropologists and others feel the urge to “go native.”
As the anti-civilization tendency has built momentum in recent decades three distinct threads of anti-civilization thought have emerged. The first is that of Daniel Quinn, whose philosophy James Lee embraced. The second is the wilderness protection theory and practice of Earth First!, Earth Liberation Front and other similar groups and individuals. The third is that of the Green Anarchists. Each of these approach the problem of civilization in different ways.
Daniel Quinn
Quinn is the least radical of the three tendencies. His proposals for overcoming civilization are vague and piecemeal. His non-fiction book Beyond Civilization outlines in the most detail his concept of the New Tribal Revolution. This Revolution would be brought about by “occupational tribalism,” something like a hybrid of small business and circus troupe. These tribes would be semi-self-sufficient, exchanging goods and services with one another. An original concept, but it seems unlikely to truly challenge capitalism, let alone civilization. Quinn can be described as a reformist. The violent actions that took place at the Discovery Channel are surely not ones he would endorse. Curiously, Lee referred only specifically to a passage from Quinn's novel My Ishmael:
One: The revolution won't take place all at once. It's not going to be any sort of coup d'etat like the French or Russian revolutions.
Two: It will be achieved incrementally, by people working off each other's ideas. This is the great driving innovation of the Industrial Revolution.
Three: It will be led by no one. Like the Industrial Revolution, it will need no shepherd, no organizer, no spearhead, no pacesetter, no mastermind at the top; it will be too much for anyone to lead.
Four: It will not be the initiative of any political, governmental, or religious body — again, like the Industrial Revolution. Some will doubtless want to claim to be its supporters and protectors; there are always leaders ready to step forward once others have shown the way.
Five: It has no targeted end point. Why should it have an end point?
Six: It will proceed according to no plan. How on earth could there be a plan?
Seven: It will reward those who further the revolution with the coin of the revolution. In the Industrial Revolution, those who contributed much in the way of product wealth received much in the way of product wealth; in the New Tribal Revolution, those who contribute much in the way of support will receive much in the way of support.
The idea of building a resistance to civilization informed by the Industrial Revolution is paradoxical, but Quinn's ideas may possibly have some merit. Lee's desperate attempt to have these ideas disseminated failed utterly. He did not even include this quote in the text of his manifesto.
Population
Besides the brief reference to Daniel Quinn's work, the rest of the manifesto draws mostly from the familiar theoretical ground of human overpopulation. Lee makes several explicit references to the work of Thomas Malthus. Malthus, an 18th Century English clergyman is best remembered for his theory of human population growth. According to Malthus human population increases exponentially, while human food supply only grows incrementally. Thus, Malthus believed that inevitably humanity would be pressed into devastating wars over scarce food. Though such a catastrophe has not yet occurred, Malthusian population theory has not died out in popularity. It has had a consistent presence among ecological movements since at least the first Earth Day.
Anarchists have criticized the Malthusian population theory from its inception. It has frequently served those in power as a justification for authoritarian measures. Paul Ehrlich and John Holdren (the latter now an adviser in the Obama administration) both wrote on the subject beginning in the late seventies. Among other draconian measures they have recommended at various times are:forced sterilization and releasing birth control chemicals into drinking water. Forced sterilization is a practice familiar to native American women in the United States and women and men of various ethnicities in European dictatorships, including Nazi Germany. It is an authoritarian, sexist and racist practice that denies women their physical autonomy and family planning initiative. Garrett Hardin applied the Malthusian theory to economics and came up with the concept of the “tragedy of the commons,” a not-so-subtle defence of capitalism and privatization with an ecological veneer.
Overpopulation has become an issue of choice for many elite. Several “think tanks” have been formed in recent decades, including the Optimum Population Trust
in the United Kingdom, which offer top-down “solutions” to overpopulation. Recently Bill Gates convened a small group of the ultra-wealthy to discuss their ideas for “solutions.” Though Green Anarchists do not usually deny that human overpopulation is a concern, we are explicit in our rejection of the authoritarian measures decided upon by the global ruling classes, usually most affecting the poorest and most exploited in Third World nations. Real, sustainable tactics to addressing this problem must come from educating women in their family planning options. In those instances where women are aware of the birth control options available to them, birth rate decreases dramatically. Other tactics, currently less thought out, would involve delegitimizing ideologies that promote unsustainable human population growth such as religions (especially Catholicism, Mormonism and Islam), nationalism and racism. Further, entrenched interests in many overdeveloped nations often use the spectre of rising population as justification for authoritarian anti-immigration efforts. Attempting to limit immigration to various nation-states neither addresses the problem, nor treats already living humans with dignity. Further, as anarchists we explicitly reject the State's interfering in free human movement.
Unfortunately the first generation of Earth First!ers, most notably co-founder Dave Foreman, accepted many of these authoritarian “solutions” to the population issue. As the wilderness defence movement has developed, however, the influence of Green Anarchism has mitigated these xenophobic and misanthropic tendencies. James Lee has exhibited much in his manifesto in the way of misanthropy, referring frequently to babies as “filth,” and blaming immigrants for rising population in the United States. Needless to say the criticism applied to other eco-radicals by Green Anarchists applies also to Lee.
Green Anarchist Trajectories
James Lee's actions were those of a deluded and hopeless soul. His plan was ill-conceived, though his target was deserving of the scorn he placed upon it. The capitalist media is a propaganda behemoth. The vast majority of television programming is decaying human minds throughout the world, and should be stopped by any means necessary. It would be wonderful if it could be replaced by edifying, intellectually stimulating programming, but this is a very unlikely occurrence in the near term.
Anarchism emphatically rejects reformism. Classical anarchism rejects the common notions that capitalism and the State can be reformed to be more humane and less oppressive. All efforts at reform have only made the oppression more subtle and sneaky, such as the illusion of choice offered by capitalism, whether in the form of competing products or hundreds of television channels. Green anarchism rejects the notion that civilization in its entirety can be gainfully reformed. Given civilization's 6000+ year track record it is clear that it functions through intimidation, murder (whether mass wars or state murder, AKA “execution,” “capital punishment'), oppression of women and ethnic minorities, destruction of nature, homogenization of culture, psychological manipulation, and finally the industrial regimentation of all life.
The discussion of tactics in Green Anarchism has barely begun. Many favour tactics borrowed from Earth First!/ELF. Others have begun trying to mentally, spiritually and technically “rewild.” As the movement grows we will come up with a diversity of tactics for addressing the problem of civilization.
These tactics must, and will, be guided by the ever-evolving theoretical structure of Green Anarchism. A wealth of theoretical works are already present on the Internet and in local radical bookstores/infoshops. Two specific trajectories are already being explored and will doubtless be elaborated in the years to come. First, the Malthusian theory of population, already disreputable and highly theoretically suspect, appears ready to be replaced by better ideas about human population growth. Biological science has long accepted food supply as a major factor in the levels of animal populations, yet has almost never considered food supply in relation to human population. It appears as though the anthropocentric bias leading to such a blatant oversight is gradually being addressed. In other words, if current biology is correct, Malthusian population theory is exactly the reverse of how population really works. Thus the belief that increasing food supply will stave off starvation (as was done in the “Green Revolution” of the seventies) may actually compound future catastrophe.
The second trajectory, which will likely eclipse the first, is only beginning to take shape. Many anti-civilization thinkers, most famously Derrick Jensen, are beginning to question science itself. Heretofore most of those that oppose science have done so from a religious, and therefore uncritical, stance. As the unofficial ideology of the current globalizing civilization, science is often claimed to be the only legitimate method of knowledge. Yet, so much of the human experience does not fall under the objective, standardizable, repeatable conditions necessary for scientific enquiry. It is unclear at this early stage what critiques of science in the anti-civilization movement will look like, but they will certainly cause a bit of conceptual reorientation. Much of the ecological aspects of anti-civilization thought, concepts derived from ecological science, will need to be re-examined as these critiques develop.
Whatever the future holds, it is for us to decide. The 6000+ year crisis of civilization will ultimately be a blip in human and world history. What the Earth will be like for millions of years to come will depend, at least in part, on what we do now. Whether the future of life on this planet will be of regeneration or further decimation depends on whether we have a courage to end civilization once and for all.

The Russian Embassy in Minsk Family Attacked
Responsibility for the recent attack on the Russian embassy, caused a stir in the press, claimed a group of Belarusian anarchists. Quote the statement posted on the website of Indymedia: In the evening on August 30 a group of anarchists was conducted attack with Molotov cocktails at Russian embassy in Minsk. Was damaged one of the official cars. By this action, we express our anger and protest against the arrests and repression against social activists, who defended forests Khimki Moscow. Our friends are beaten by mercenaries from among the fascists, riot police chases and screws all in a row, threats, detentions and arrests have become the norm.Our friends are forced to endure the hardships in the dungeons and live in fear of being planted, because it stood for truth, for the people, for the right to a normal environment. But bureaucrats and capitalists concerned only kickbacks and profits, they do not care what will happen tomorrow and they are ready to virulent measures to suppress any protest, any dissatisfaction. What's next, death squads? We stand in solidarity with our comrades, and support only direct methods of struggle, because they are afraid only of force on the rest of them do not care. It's funny to read reviews and discussions about the campaign on Internet forums.We are equally repugnant to all the mafia clans under the names "the rulers of Belarus" and "the rulers of Russia." A simple working people of both countries does not shine anything good from this political bickering for power, should not behave like this mendacious politicians. People, wake up! Can not do without conspiracy theories to justify any act of protest and discontent? Every day we see theft and lawlessness, but around only downcast glances and timid kitchen conversations.It's time to gather their strength and to believe that we deserve a better life. Freedom for all prisoners! No political repression! Down with the officials, gangsters and cops! Human rights and social justice!

Anarchists Guzman calls to reopen the case after those of "Ramiro" on others involved
x la tercera
El ex frentista dijo que la decisión de atentar contra el parlamentario fue tomada en forma colectiva.
A reopening "immediate" the case by the assassination of Senator Jaime Guzmán UDI's family asked parliament yesterday, following the statements of Mauricio Hernández Norambuena, the "Comandante Ramiro", on the planning of the crime. Former frontage said the decision to undermine Guzman was taken by several members of the National Patriotic Front Manuel Rodriguez (FPMR).
"Ramiro" is sentenced to two life sentences in Chile, for the murder occurred on April 1 at the exit of the East Campus of the U. Catholic and the kidnapping of Cristian Edwards.
In an interview given to the criminal Chilevisión Catanduvas in Brazil, Norambuena Hernandez said the decision was agreed by the directors rodriguista and is planning to kill other civilians. He referred to former Interior Minister Sergio Fernandez and lawyer Ambrosio Rodriguez.
family's lawyer Guzmán, Luis Hermosilla, came to court yesterday to meet with the trial judge, Mario Carroza. Said he would seek measures related to the persons nominated for "Ramiro".
These include Enrique Villanueva, the "Comandante Eduardo." Rodriguista former belonged to the leadership of the Front and was syndicated as an informant Hernández Norambuena Public Security Council, known as "The Office." In this regard, Herman's attorney said, "gives background Hernández Norambuena very important to place him as a person with a dual status. On the one hand, one of the commanders of the front and on the other, a major informant for the government security office." Hermosilla
fomaban added that those from the management of the armed group were Galvarino Apablaza, Juan Gutiérrez Fischmann, "El Chele" and Villanueva.
lawyer "Ramiro", Alberto Espinoza, said it has "not care" a possible reopening of the case, as the former frontage is already doomed.
Yesterday, the executive director of the Fundación Jaime Guzmán, Jorge Jaraquemada, told La Tercera that Nora Hernandez said are "very serious." "He suggests that before the attack on Jaime Guzmán, the government would have had information that warned of this possibility (...) It is unthinkable that an authority has taken such an attitude," he said.
several representatives of the IDUs said yesterday that there was no political will to solve the case. The chairman of that party, Juan Antonio Coloma, said that "it is essential that those who exercised power in the 90 to explain to citizens what really made to clarify the case."
DC Congressman Jorge Burgos, who joined "The Office", denied that the government of the time knew of the plan or has concealed the murderers. "It is absolutely false, would get in a situation of abetting a crime and that would be investigated. The statements of a murderer and a kidnapper national and international levels who have the courage to come," Burgos said Cooperative.
"Ramiro" is being held in Brazil since 2002 by the kidnapping of businessman Washington Olivetto. To try to speed up extradition, will meet today UDI Senator Andrew Chadwick to the Minister of Interior, Rodrigo Hinzpeter. Former frontage
who lived in Cuba and Venezuela
"Ramiro" syndicated to Enrique Villanueva Molina as the person who informed the government of FPMR movements. He said everything was to disband the group.
The "Comandante Eduardo, as he was known, served as the spokesperson of the FPMR and occupied the fourth rank in the chain of command. According to Hernandez, Villanueva was an informant for the Bureau since 1990, ie, one year before the murder of Guzman.
In 1997, the "Comandante Eduardo" left for Cuba. However, he had to depart for Venezuela. The judge investigating the case at the time, Hugo Dolmestch, ordered his arrest and in 2001 declared by the warrant. Claimed not to have had information about plans to assassinate Guzman. In addition, he denied having been an informer for the "The Office. "

Mauricio Hernández Nora makes revelations about the Front from prison
Chilevisión interview, 08/31/1910:
Hernández makes revelations about the Front from prison
Ex leader of the terrorist organization discussed the crisis suffered by the group.
Mauricio Hernández Nora, a former leader of the FPMR, the mastermind of the murder of Jaime Guzman and the kidnapping of Cristian Edwards, made revelations about this terrorist organization in an interview broadcast last night by Chilevision.
The person was interviewed in prison in Brazil where he was serving sentence for the kidnapping of businessman in this country Washington Olivetto. Two days later he was transferred. Hernández
reviewed the actions of the FPMR from the attack on Augusto Pinochet in 1986, where he said the goal was to create a popular uprising. Regarding the abduction
of Colonel Carlos Carreño, the next year, said it was an act of propaganda in which the officer was not elected in a special way and that if they had known its connection with cases of weapons would have felt that they had "won the lottery." Former frontage
then described a series of events which were undermining the organization, as recognized, starting with his belief that there would be fraud in the plebiscite of 1988 and the "No" would be defeated. To this he added the death of their leader Raúl Pellegrin, whose style was not able to maintain said.
From there, said that under the leadership of the FPMR Apablaza Galvarino became almost exclusively a military organization. Recognizing that
acted with "voluntarism" after the return of democracy, described the policy of "executions" that was followed.
The so-called "Comandante Ramiro" took care to emphasize that these decisions, including the assassination of Senator Guzman, were taken collectively. After this crime, acknowledged that the economic aid it received the FPMR almost broke down, and would have been precisely the need for money that led them to kidnap Edwards. Even
FPMR Hernandez revealed that he lost half a million dollars as a result of dealings which he could not be attributed to corruption or negligence.
also helped to weaken the group that some members went to work in government intelligence functions, such as Enrique Villanueva and Agdalín Valenzuela. The latter was arrested with him and given "VIP treatment" he said.
