They want the ent ire western U.S. coas t line made into a nati onal preserve with all resid en ces, bu sinesses a n d coas ta l ci ties evacuated. Earth First! is proud to announce and tak e cred it 'for th eir sa botage. They're just like the terrorist kidnapers in Beirut. Lebanon. They th ink of th emselves as " WWII Resista nce Fig hters" opposing the " Nazi Holocaust" (T hen quotes). They're the good guys; we're Nazis. T he FBI ha s been trying for seven years to ca tch Earth First! and its clon es in sabotage cts, to no avail. Theycan't even get the 10,000 member mailing list of Earth Fir st! a nd its su ppo rte rs wh o receive regular bulletins of successfu l sabo tage, damage, injury and death rep orts. ' . Eco tage is not restric ted to offre aders a nd o ff-h ig h way vehicl e act iviti es. Anyone , anyw here is targeted for th eir violence.
