For those who are interested, here are some quotes showing the history of one of the organizations connected to this video... Earth First! Of course, now they claim to have renounced such activity and that no one was ever really harmed by such activity. Oh right. But it is good of them to admit they were wrong to promote such violence. From EcoDefense, edited by Dave Foreman: Published by Earth First! Books Copyright 1985, Dave Foreman "In some cases burning a target is the most effective way of decommissioning it." "Suppose your neighborhood is infested with off-road vehicle scum or you chance upon an unattended muscle wagon where it shouldn't be. A quick slash job is in order." "Powerlines are highly vulnerable to monkeywrenching from individuals or small groups. The best techniques are 1) removing bolts from steel towers 2) cutting steel towers with hacksaws, torches.....(See cutting torch article). "Wooden bridges are vulnerable and are a major effort and expense to replace. They can be burned but it takes more than a can of kerosene and a match. A huge pile of dry wood must be heaped up under the load carrying the timbers of the bridge......" "a modern version of the Vietnamese "punji stake" offers a simple means of closing an unsurfaced road. An angle cut metal rod driven into the road's wheel rut will puncture tires......" "A pocket knife will cut the black plastic pipe that is commonly used for water pipelines. A hammer and nail can be used to to drive holes into metal stock tanks or troughs whcih will cause the water to drain out."
