SPIRIT OF FREEDOM The newsletter of the North American Earth Liberation Prisoners Support Network Septem!uer/Oclober 2001 Welcome to the September/October 2001 Spirit of Freedom, our third newsletter since the network’s inception. It would be an understatement to say that recent events in Washington and New York have had quite an impact on our activities as prisoner supporters. It seems that it is impossible to avoid the US governments propaganda it is creating to justify its new war. What is not talked about in the corporate media or on the streets is the impact that the government’s propaganda will have on the fledging Earth liberation and anarchist movements. Already the FBI and other agencies are talking about increased ~surveillance, implementing CARNIVORE to read email and petitioning judges to make wire tapping easier. No doubt, the government will use the hijackings as an excuse to crack down on the Earth libcration movement and thosc who support political prisoners. We mustn't shriek away from supporting the people who put their lives on the line to protect the Earth and its animals. On a different note, we are currently trying to determine whether So# will continue to be a bi- monthly newsletter or a quarterly. Any feedback or financial assistance would be appreciated.

However, as of the printing of this newsletter, that has not been confirmed by Frank himself. He was charged in January with spiking trees in the Morgan Monroe State Forest in June 2000. This action was claimed by the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and local and federal authorities were bragging about cracking their first ELF case. Cops raided Frank's house and seized tools, gloves and other items in July 2000 and sent them to an FBI lab for analysis. His trial was postponed months ago after solidarity demonstrations were called for at federal buildings. The Morgan-Monroe tree-spiking was one of several local acts last year for which the Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility. Others included an arson of a luxury house, a tree spiking in Yellowwood State Forest and destruction of logging equipment Contact: BDC, POB 3503, Bloomington, IN 47402. (812) 333-0173 defensecommittee@yahoo.com NEW JERSEY GRAND JURY Josh Harper has once again received a subpoena from a federal grand jury, this time in East Millstone, New Jersey. The government demanded that Josh release footage from his most recent video, 7%is Means War"which apparently contains images of an ALF liberation of 14 beagle puppies from Huntington Life Sciences (HLS) last spring. According to Josh “I was put into a room with at least a dozen guards. I had a brief argument with the assistant prosecutor, and was told that they were going to have a contempt hearing. I was sure that 1 was going to jail, so I asked if I could use a bathroom real quick. Anyhow, I stepped out of the room expecting to be taken before a judge for refusing to hand over the video or answer questions, and was instead told that I was being let go. Go figure. I haven't been re-subpoenaed”.

Both have stated that they that if the Earth Liberation Front is to be a viable movement, public concentrations of support must not be centered on one o two people. The two have maintained that the ELF is one of the greatest demonstrations of the power the people can have if they so desire to take it. They sincerely wish to express their gratitude to all those who have expressed some form of support over the years and to the courageous individuals that have been involved in ELF actions. CONGRESSIONAL SUBCOMMITTEE SEEKS TO SUBPOENA CRAIG ROSEBRAUGH The House Subcommittee on Forest and Forest Health has scheduled an October 16 hearing to explore the increasing numbers of eco-terrorist acts on "national forest" lands. Resource Chair James Hansen seeks to force Craig Rosebraugh, former press officer for the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) to testify. Craig has declined an invitation to appear voluntarily . Contact Craig at PO Box 4783, Portland, OR 97208. NO FRIENDS OF OURS In their quest for more money and lawsuits, the Southern Poverty Law Center. has turned their attention to the Earth Liberation Front. Despite the lack of any racist ideology, the SPLC is attempting to draw comparisons between white supremacists and the ELF. 4 In a report entitled *By Any Necessary Means.” (located at http://www.splcenter.org. The SPLC makes these idiotic statements: . “When it comes to the current economic and political system, the two groups (ELF and fascists) increasingly find themselves on the same side.” The shadowy ELF makes much of the radical right look rather meek. " Right-wing extremists like the look of those involved in eco- and animal rights terrorism.” Than they close with the obvious which raises the question, Just what is the SPLC’s motives? it seems clear that the ELF doesn't share their racist views or have other connections to their groups.” THE PLEADING As I am looking out my window I'see a rising mantel of poison as vehicles rare against times flow spreading disease and death against reason Human Beings learn to walk and see the Earth Mothers wonders all around fight fast time desires and be free s0 balance and harmony can be found Please relations give slowness a try or a great crisis we all will face as life gradually in time says good bye unable to contend with our polluting pace. Eric Wildcat Hall 1990 LETTER FROM FREE To;my supporters: 1 guess first off I want to say thank you to all those people who have written me, supported me, or donated . time or money to my defense. You have made this situation bearable. I cannot thank you enough. My heart especially goes out to those who have continued to fight, and have risked their own freedom, struggling against this destructive and oppressive system. I have been able to adjust to prison life. I can tell you that it is a whole new experience. That puts it politely. 1do not know how long I will remain here, as of now I have 21 more years to go. It is my plan/goal to remain as active in the struggle for all life and against all forms of oppression as I can. By necessity I must use new tactics that can be employed from here. 1 hope to complete a degree in sociology while I'm here. And to write and inspire with words. Already I have received many requests for interviews. I can only do the best I can to try to awaken people, raise awareness, and lend strength to those still on the front lines. To all of you who try to bring change, in whatever form or tactic you use... whether you fight for the planet or against sexism, whether you are trying to raise minimum wage and create better work conditions or helping to create alternatives to traditional work: Our struggle comes in many forms. We fight different battles, in _different fields. We use different tactics and different skills. We share different beliefs and different ideologies. Yet, we have one thing in common: we need each other, we need to stand side by side, to work and fight together. Only together can we create a world that we can all live in happily, healthfully, safely, and sustainably. My goal in life is to help create that world. While I plan on_continuing that goal, right now I need to focus on getting out of prison. My appeal will be underway shortly. T expect it will be a lengthy process. I'm asking for your continued support through these rough times. ahead. Those of you that can donate money to my defense, thank you, it is very much needed and appreciated. I would also like to ask that everyone write to the governor of Oregon* in regards to the length of my sentence and the lack of evidence in the Tyree case. Thank you, Jeff "Free" Luers *Gov.

This bill will also increase penalties for Animal Terrorism and establish the National Animal Terrorism and ecoterrorism Clearinghouse at the FBI to help law enforcement agencies gather and exchange information on animal and ecoterrorists nationwide. » Oregon Congress-person Hooley (OR) has proposed legislation that would provide additional local resources (financial and personnel), create an information clearinghouse and make Hooley seem like she is doing something to stem the rising tide of Earth liberation activities in her voting area (Monmouth, Oregon-site of the Christmas 1999 burning of Boise Cascade by the ELF). Hooley also sent a letter to gw. bush and attorney general ashcroft urging them to send additional federal agents to Oregon. LETTER FROM PRISONER HELEN WOODSON Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Those who originate and use new science and technology intend beneficial results. Nuclear power, pesticides, cloning and genetic alteration are sincerely seen as worthwhile advances, their potential harm as acceptable risk. And this was undoubtedly true when Congress passed Public Law 106-546 Public Law 106-546: DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 mandates the taking of blood from certain federal prisoners, the samples to be sent to the FBI for DNA profiling, the left over blood to be permanently archived by the FBI. Procedures for implementation have just been drawn up, and prison medical departments are preparing the individual kits. Inmates who refuse will be restrained and the blood drawn forcibly, and they may be subject to sanctions and criminal charges as well. Carswell officials say that only a "minute percentage" of women are affected, and I am to be the first here. At first glance, the law is not a bad idea. DNA profiling may lead to the closing of previously unsolved cases and will aid in the apprehension of recidivists in the future. Since I do not attempt to hide my identity, this will have no effect on my actions after my eventual release. However, everyone who reads the news knows of FBI 8 carelessness and malfeasance. There will be mistakes, there will be deliberate incrimination of the innocent, and experts will lie in court. But it is the potential abuse in other areas that concerns me. Psychologists have long theorized about the genetic origins of anti-social behavior, and some educators have expressed an interest in identifying at risk children. This and similar state laws will create the largest DNA data bank in existence, and sooner or later studies will be made. What if some criminals have identifiable genetic markers, and what if their children do too, and what if they exist in the general population also, maybe in your children and grand children? Doesn't society have the right to know only, of course, so that appropriate intervention measures can be taken? Orwellian? I think not, and I predict that within 10 years the voluntary testing of children will be common and within 20 years mandatory. Newborns will leave the hospital with their own DNA on file just as they now leave with their Social Security numbers. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Many law enforcement personnel have only the best of intentions, the kind that the road to hell is paved with . A police state is characterized by 'repressive governmental control of political, economic and social life..." At what point does that apply to the United States, and at what point will ordinary citizens decide to do something about it? Our children and grandchildren will want to know. 8/29/01 Helen Woodson, 03231-045, FMC Carswell, Admin. Max POB 27137 Ft. Worth, TX 76127 PRISONER PROFILE Garfield Marcus Gabbard (age 37) is a Green Anarchist political prisoner held against his will at HMP Camp Hill Gulag in England. He is serving 18 months imprisonment after attending the November 30th 1999 'Anti Capitalist Demo' in London and setting fire to a Babylon van at Euston after the police attacked young demonstrators. Garfield was caught because a fluffy unmasked him and a police informer identified him. Garfield has been active in the Animal/Earth Liberation movement since 1976. He is a staunch Animal Liberationist, Deep Ecologist who is involved with Community Justice. Garfield has also been involved with the squatters movement, hunt sabbing, trade Union fight back, Anti Fascist Action, etc. Garfield very much sees direct action from the grass roots as the way forward. He is a vegan who is persecuted for who is by the automatons. He is an eco-anarchist and proud of it. Garfield welcomes all letters and would very much like to hear from you. Also, Garfield has asked, if possible, can people please spare a little money to help him and his fiancé whilst he is inside. It would help take the pressure off his fiancé who is not only financially supporting Garfield while inside, but also spending a lot of money herself on prison visits. If you would like to make a donation to help Garfield, please send checks or postal orders to Ms Kate Muggleton (Garfield's fiancé) and send them to Garfield Gabbard Support Fund, c/o BM Box 2407, London, WCIN 3XX, England. 10 WRITINGS BY PRISONER JEREMIAH RUSH BOWEN Okay, so my unwanted fifteen minutes in the Colorado papers have taught me (as if I needed the lesson) that print media is almost exclusively distortions, packed lies too tight for even subjective bias to enter; the spin could be called objective, even though not factual due to the diffuseness of its origin. Wholies? ‘They lie; the impersonal institution of mediatizing reportage lies: all more or less meaningless because there is no who there. Impersonal: the cages are certainly physical but hardly human: a careerist cedes her humanity tot he career. Or more specifically, to the physical apparatus of that career- the cubical, the office tower, the highway, the subway, the automobile, the microscope, the uniform or apron, the screen the screen the screening and to the network (cage) of power relations that govern and specifics each action. It is people who are destroying the real world by covering it with exploitation and artifice, but they are people in their “official capacities": people who have lost the human to an impersonal architectoinic identity. This for me is where the struggle begins and ends: it is not people I fight; not the who but the what that has capitated from within and without. 1 was invited to write something about "what we want". Meaning of course (Because | wouldn't presume to speak for anyone else without their input) what do I want in the context of an international movement toward (I hope) revolution and restoration. It's an interesting subject, partly because I would like to see a radical liberation of desire, which seems incompatible with a definition of such, but also because | want nothing new. I don't want to build a "new world" (thought the world I want would of course be something different than heretofore experienced by humans-difference as temporality and spacing).What I desire is already present, metaphorically and actually just beneath world as it is ("Underneath the pavement, it's the beachl), showing through in spots but (increasingly) rarely untainted by the overlay of civilized superficiality. All that is truly necessary is that we clear away enough space for real life to reemerge. So are the papers right? Am I a 'terrorist'? Webster defines terrorism as "the political use of terror and intimidation”. But I have no desire to intimidate anyone. If circumstances make us as much as we make circumstances, if our cages are not merely ideological or psychological, but physical, then liberation requires a physical response to physical enslavement. I don't want to change people; I want to open up situations, make space for new possibilities (or the return of forgotten ones). A Eugene Anarchist pamphlet from 1999 included the phrase "institutions could be removed, but their imprint must also be removed from our minds". Obviously, an imprint cannot be removed as long as the imprinter is still exerting pressure on the imprinted. Civilization must be destroyed physically before it can fade and disappear psychologically and ideologically. Trying to free one's mind in a sea of subjugation is like trying to dry your pants in an aquarium. So what do I want? Complete reintegration with the land. An existence undifferentiated but infinitely different. The "untouched' in which every touch touches itself, in which diversity=health, in which economy and extravagance coexist without contradiction. The ideal is real life; we look for analogies, human societies that mirror the circle. Hence the reexamination (and to a certain extent) emulation of the primitive. At the center of all that I find revolting and deserving of revolt is mediation; this most of all T see as definitive of the artificial. Civilization it what comes between. The measure of authoritarianism is our distance from our own power (human being defines as rich, white and male) is product and function of mediation; as s the constant construction of newer, more sterile cages, the subjection of touchy by image. If asked, I would posit this as the driving V1 force, the common denominator in those fighting for liberation: the experience of and desire for a direct life, unmediated living. But it unnerves me to try to describe this ineffable core because I perceive it only obliquely, or in flashes of spontaneous involvement. It is the center of what most would call my ‘spiritual’ life but its spiritual power lies in its overwhelming physical authenticity. It is a physical reality that subtends the floating images of modern life; it is a circular stream fed by its own spring that flows beneath the streets of every city. But is also the very empirical creek cutting through sandstone and cattails just beyond the barbed wire outside my window. It is my sunburned cheeks, my hands raw from the shovel handle. I'm sometimes surprised to find that reality infects my actions with an unreasonable cheerfulness. Sometimes the sound of rocks popping off rocks striking the rock pile strikes me like marimba rhythms because they are siblings making their own sounds without regard for uniforms or penalty. I can't speak for anyone else's aims, but what I want is to dance to those rhythms as concrete falls before the advancing wilds.

A recording sent to a newspaper claimed responsibility for that direct action, as well as another that took place the same night apparently in protest of the city’s killing of 100 dogs. On August 30, his house was searched by detectives who destroyed many of his things, confiscated literature, banners, pamphlets and what they said to be material to build explosives. The charges he is facing are still unclear, but yesterday he was sent to a jury where they notified him that he will be processed by an anti-terrorism law. 5 Carlos was released shortly afterwards but under “libertad vigiladd (freedom under surveillance). Money is needed to hire a lawyer to represent him. Donations can be sent to: Carolina Gonzalez, Ruiz Tagle 350, Estacion Central Santiago, Chile. DESTROYING BARRIERS By RM The moment we are brought into this world our rulers- to ensure the present order continues- quickly begin to impose many fears and phobias, morality, religion, language, time, number, art, etc. on our consciousness under the guise of culture. To do so, they hope to divide us within, placing invisible barriers on our emotions, our feral ness, to control how we act and what we say through the use of order and social fear. Destroying barriers is to dismantle all such authority imposed on us by Leviathan. When we attack such limitations psychologically imposed on us, we begin to feel more alive, a hint of what it is to live fully, to live in wild, creative, undomesticated freedom. It is this freedom in which some of us wish to gain, and to do so requires the destruction of the enemy of the wild- the present system. Within this context I have listed those who refused to live their lives as machines, who forged beyond such barriers attacking more fiercely the order of the present system; as such I extend my solidarity. The state may attempt to punish the few who challenge the order, who dare attempt to take back their humanity; but for those of us who want to live free- insurrection is spontaneous, it is wild! and for this very reason those who attempt such control and domestication, who expect the expected will ultimately fail to destroy us. Long live life and love, passion and anger!
