How Environmentalists Became the FBI's #1 Threat
Hiya! I just released Part Two of the three-part documentary series on the Earth Liberation Front. This episode centers on the State backlash and hunt for the Pacific Northwest Earth Liberation Front cell. The hunt and crackdown on the ELF environmentalists (and the environmental community in general) was so intense that this era came to be known as the “Green Scare.”
Definitely check out the video below, and if you’re itching for part three right now, it’s available to my Patreon supporters a month early!
Three Quotes:
“The No. 1 priority in the Domestic Terrorism Program, which I run, is ALF/ELF.”
— Jim Jarboe (Deputy Director of the FBI)
“If you can label a group a terrorist, it’s then not that hard to make the general public quiescent when you go out and exterminate them.”
— Bron Taylor
“A major hypocrisy exists when the U.S. government labels an organization such as the Earth Liberation Front a terrorist group while simultaneously failing to acknowledge its own terrorist history… If the U.S. government is truly concerned with eradicating terrorism in the world, then that effort must begin with abolishing U.S. imperialism.”
— Craig Rosebraugh (ELF Media Liason)
