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."
