ELF ALF SNITCHES and Actionss

by who don it
Three people remain at large and are believed to be out of the country – two in Europe and one in Canada, Engdall said. Due to the number of defendants and volume of evidence – 35 CDs of recorded conversations and 40,000 pages of transcripts, police reports and photographs – Judge Coffin declared this a complex case, giving lawyers for both sides more time to prepare. All eight defendants arrested so far will be tried at once, and Engdall estimated it would take at least five weeks.



DEAR FBI Repent niggas


There must be one or two decent people in the FBI - Hoeland... The EARTH and a few friends could use them a lot right now, you know...


The most poweful nation in history has to lie to convict a few non-violent protesters... ?

There must be one or two decent people in the FBI - Hoeland... The EARTH and a few friends could use them a lot right now, you know...

Dear FBI,

someone in your ranks must know the lies, illegality and holes in the eugene, or indcitments of the Earth 11. But I wonder what the odds are that that person in the know is moral - or cares about anything - or senses the truth inside democracy.

So, let's hope that a group of FBI agents will infiltrate the click that is a runnin the domestic "terrror " show - drop a dime - email anonynmously - tell us the story - when yas all get it.

GHelp us to help others manifest a broad discussion about what is happening to the EARTH and the demise of the shaky ideals that the USA ( not US of Bush) once stood upon.

Leak the truth - get it off your chest - shit make it up if you have to...

some of you have studied these 12 wonderful people who have been inducted for years... you know they are good people - you know they have never hut anyone - and yuo know full and well that the snitches are sick, twisted and tragic fools.

we know there must be scuttle butt - ablout the case - rumors - start some more - post them here or send them to the lawyers - it is not hard - IT IS NOT DANGEROUS - AND it could save some american sheroe from 10 ior 20 years in a jail cell..

As ex-snitches stew, lawmakers condemn FBI use of informants



WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee concluded Thursday that the FBI shielded from prosecution known killers and other criminals that it used as informants to investigate organized crime in New England.



The scathing report also found the FBI attempted to impede the congressional investigation into the long-running scandal.



"Beginning in the mid-1960s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began a course of conduct in New England that must be considered one of the greatest failures in the history of federal law enforcement," the House Government Reform Committee report said. "The Justice Department made it very difficult for this Committee to conduct timely and effective oversight."



It went on to say that the panel's two-year investigation makes it clear "that the FBI must improve management of its informant programs to ensure that agents are not corrupted. The committee will examine the current FBI's management, security, and discipline to prevent similar events in the future."



The panel also concluded there is not enough evidence to find that former University of Massachusetts President William Bulger used his political authority to punish those who investigated his brother, mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger, who is sought in connection with 21 murders.



Whitey Bulger, a former FBI informant, fled in 1995 and is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.



William Bulger received immunity to testify in front of the committee earlier this year, and the report noted some inconsistencies between his testimony and others.



The report is the latest development in a cascade of indictments and guilty pleas connected to the long-running scandal over the FBI's relationship with its underworld informants.



While it broadly condemns the FBI's practices, the report focuses on one case — the 1965 murder of Edward "Teddy" Deegan — and law enforcement efforts to protect FBI informants Jimmy "The Bear" Flemmi and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi.



Stephen Flemmi recently pleaded guilty to racketeering charges involving 10 murders.


Last year, former FBI agent John Connolly Jr. was convicted of protecting gangsters, including Whitey Bulger.


I think they're still pissed about Judi
Pissed and humiliated and out for vengence. I'm thinking they're still pissed about Judi Bari.

They may as well get the next best thing: hippies.

Anyway, all this time after 9/11 and we've still got no sleeper cells. Must be boring being a stuffy dickhead FBI agent. I had a neighboor that was one. He was a creep the way he'd put a robotic Santa on his roof every September through March. He spent many an hour staring proudly at his Santa. We'd peek through our windows at him and make rude remarks. Creepiest neighboor I ever had.


you think they aready crak on hippy
is nothing that they fear the most verry child and enlighted persone that walk with the true in is heart is far more dangerous for theire criminal system light is more frighting that anything you can imagine if a persone dont lose its balance thier magik ability will one day become
imposible to stop soon they reconose one they try to bear them


misc update and unique


Meanwhile, details of the life of one of the accused began to emerge Friday. Harvey previously pleaded guilty twice to misdemeanors concerning an anti-logging protest and a railroad trespass, records show. In a job application, Harvey acknowledged having pleaded guilty in 1997 to three misdemeanors after being arrested "at a nonviolent anti-logging protest," saying an attorney had counseled her to do enter the plea "because I was in a very conservative area."

She said she was "making pancakes and serving them to other protesters" at the protest.

The 1999 conviction was for trespassing on Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad company property, she said.

Harvey began working this fall at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff after stints with two nonprofit organizations in Tucson and before that, a nonprofit group in Eureka, Calif. Using the name Kendall Tankersley, Harvey took a as an administrative secretary with the Human Development Institute at NAU. NAU spokesman Tom Baurer said Harvey was hired at the university Oct. 28, and had been granted admission into its graduate college but had not signed up for classes yet…

Sarah Kendall Harvey, 28, of Flagstaff, Ariz. U.S. Magistrate Thomas Coffin entered innocent pleas on behalf of Suzanne Savoie of Applegate and Kendall Tankersley, formerly known as Sarah Harvey, of Flagstaff, Ariz. Savoie worked in a group home for the developmentally disabled in Ashland. Tankersley worked at Northern Arizona University and was trying to get into medical school. However, before moving there she lived in Tucson and worked for two nonprofit organizations.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Engdall said the investigation is continuing, and more people are expected to be indicted.

Six others in custody are to be arraigned over the next week.

Three people remain at large and are believed to be out of the country – two in Europe and one in Canada, Engdall said. Due to the number of defendants and volume of evidence – 35 CDs of recorded conversations and 40,000 pages of transcripts, police reports and photographs – Judge Coffin declared this a complex case, giving lawyers for both sides more time to prepare. All eight defendants arrested so far will be tried at once, and Engdall estimated it would take at least five weeks. No trial date has been set yet, but it appears likely to be set for sometime this fall. The government's case depends heavily on the testimony of at least four unnamed informants, some of whom took part in the firebombings. Evidence includes five-gallon plastic buckets filled with a mix of gasoline and diesel that didn't go off, homemade timers, and the remains of firebombs that did ignite.

One of the newly named individuals is 38-year-old Joseph Dibee, who went by the alias of "Seattle," the indictment says. Dibee lived in the Puget Sound area for much of the past decade, according to public records. He and two other people named in the indictment are believed to be outside the United States, and are being sought by federal authorities. Dibee allegedly participated in at least four arsons, including the June 21, 1998, fire at the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Wildlife Facility in Olympia, which resulted in $1.2 million in damage.

Assistant Chief Ray Wittmier of the UW Police Department said Friday he was pleased that the government had filed charges in the arson.

"We're not directly involved with a lot of the investigation," Wittmier said, "but we help with some of the background. ... We're pleased that we're starting to see a little bit of closure to the incident."

Langlie and Seattle FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs noted that the new Oregon indictment does not address a string of local arsons, including at homes under construction in Snohomish County in early 2004 and in King County in 2005, for which ELF/ALF claimed responsibility.

The Building Industry Association of Washington has offered a $100,000 reward for the conviction of anyone associated with a residential fire attributed to ELF/ALF. Those crimes remain under investigation by the Seattle-based FBI agents.

When asked who could be identified as the mastermind of the attacks, she said she could not comment on evidence in the case but noted that "there are particular defendants who played a more significant role than others."

"This was a particular cell which basically relied on ELF and ALF ideology as their motivation," Immergut said. "But that does not seem to exist the same way, for example, that some international terrorist groups exist."

Paul lives in a rural area outside Ashland. People who know him say he is vegetarian, owns and runs a wildland fire engine he built himself, and cares deeply about animals. In court, a federal prosecutor said the wildland firefighting earned him $15,000 a year, but that he had a trust fund and other assets worth $1.7 million.

Before moving to the Ashland area a year and a half ago, Paul lived in a solar-powered house in the woods outside Williams, a rural community known for organic farms. He was a paramedic and lieutenant in the volunteer fire department there. His arrest shocked people who knew him.

"I've seen him take injured animals off the road -- kittens, made sure they got their shots, took them home -- deer," said Robert Alexander, a restaurant owner who volunteered with Paul at the fire department and stayed at Paul's house when he left Williams. "This is not the Jonathan Paul I know."

Associated Press reporters Mark Sherman, Matthew Daly and Jeff Barnard contributed to this story.

I went to high school with Josie...I was also visited by the FBI in Portland 2 years ago in regards to her case. I haven't seen or talked to her for 10 years and knew very little about the case until now. I wouldn't assume that she's a snitch...maybe there's little mention of her because she hasn't been found. I'm sure they're happy reporting on the folks they have...they will sensationalize Josie too if they find her. Where is info about fugitives posted? I looked and couldn't find anything listed about Josie in FBI websites. I do remember her talking about a boyfriend that she left with a heroin habit way back when, what is the known connection between her and Jake? Even though it's been forever and I don't know the person she is today, I can't imagine her selling her soul to the man...she has always fought for what is right, and I have never seen fear in her. I imagine the fear is what converts you to a snitch...but who knows. I pray that she stays free...if this ever makes it's way to you Josie...I wish for you whatever peace you can hang on to during these times. I've been heartbroken thinking about those folks that have been brought in, and what lies ahead. Let's keep positive and keep Josie in our prayers...I remember her as a fighter, a sister, lover, midwife, healer...that's what I choose to think of now, and again I hope she stays free.


December 10, 2005; Man arraigned on ecoterrorism in Oregon


A 28-year-old Virginia college student was ordered held without bail Friday on federal charges he was part of a group of radical environmentalists who firebombed a Southern Oregon lumber mill office, toppled a high tension electric line and torched a Clatskanie tree farm.Dressed in jail fatigues and shackled around the ankles, Stanislas "Jack" Meyerhoff, a student at Piedmont Community College in Charlottesville, Va., responded in a quiet voice, "Yes, your honor," when asked if he understood the 17 counts of arson, conspiracy and destruction of property that could send him to prison for life. About 5-foot-6 and 140 pounds, Meyerhoff was clean-shaven with short brown hair.

Meyerhoff was one of six people arrested Wednesday in five states on federal charges they took part in a series of attacks in Oregon and Washington dating back from 1998 to 2001.

In Arizona, Sarah Kendall Harvey is one of two Arizona residents charged with ecoterrorism attacks in the Northwest. Harvey, 28, was arrested Wednesday and charged in connection with a December 1998 fire at U.S. Forest Industries in Medford. The blaze caused damages estimated at $500,000. Conviction could bring Harvey a 20-year sentence.

The U.S. Forest Industries headquarters was located at 2611 Whittle Ave., Medford. It served as headquarters for the firm’s mills, including a White City veneer mill, a Grants Pass plywood mill, a stud mill in Colorado and a sawmill in Florida. The Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front, shadowy radical environmental groups, took responsibility for some of the attacks, but authorities have not said that any of the people arrested was directly connected with either group. A seventh person has been indicted but not yet arrested.

Meyerhoff and Daniel Gerard McGowan, 31, of New York, N.Y., are accused of setting fire to the Superior Lumber Co. office in Glendale on Jan. 21, 2001. The fire destroyed the 6,000-square-foot building, causing some $400,000 in damage.

McGowan was denied bail Friday in New York and will be brought to Oregon by U.S. marshals, said McGowan's attorney, Martin Stoler. McGowan has been charged with arson and possession of an incendiary device, he said.

Both fires occurred at night when no one was working.

U.S. Magistrate Thomas Coffin entered innocent pleas on Meyerhoff’s behalf, and appointed local attorney Richard Fredericks to represent him. Fredericks said he could not comment on the case. A status hearing was set for Jan. 3.

The indictment read in court accused Meyerhoff of planning and carrying out an attack on a Bonneville Power Administration high tension electric line tower about 25 miles east of Bend on the night of Dec. 30, 1999. The two women named were Chelsea D. Gerlach, 28, who was arrested Wednesday in Portland and Josephine Overaker, who remains at large.

The other Arizona resident who has been indicted is William C. Rodgers, 40, of Prescott. He was charged with a June 1998 arson at an animal and plant inspection facility in Olympia. Rodgers runs a bookstore in downtown Prescott called the Catalyst Infoshop.
