Seems to me you have failed to specifically prove that Earth First! was

about an attempt by an FBI informant to get one or more of the people
in ER! implicated ... but that's the FBI, trying to blow up power lines,
isn't it ?

There is also logic and consistency to all the other theories proposed.
