Power of One link

by MATTHEW HELLER, Special To The Times (follow the link)
She lived for two years on a rickety, weather-beaten platform near the top
of a 200-foot California redwood. Then, says Julia Butterfly Hill, things got weird.
January 20, 2002

On this balmy October evening, some 400 well-heeled Angelenos have gathered in the auditorium of the Freud Playhouse at UCLA. They have paid up to $500 a ticket to attend a fund-raiser for the Ark Trust animal-protection group.

The LA Times story displays for all the see the little games that go on on this Forest Defense web site. Thanks to whoever posted it.

Self important environmentalists dissing other environmentalists for not being militant enough. I have to laugh at folks like Cherney and Parker complaining that Julia has abandoned them. Guess they miss Julia's cash.

If anyone from Julia's circle of friends is reading this, perhaps they can answer how much $$ Julia has made on speaking arrangements like the one with Gloria Steinem. How much did she give to charity and How much did she keep? How much did she make on that corporate book deal?

Go Rocco. Cherney made close to 70 thou off of Butterfly Hill before her handlers found that the association with the wannabe singer was financially draining on Julia. Cherney himself has taken in over a million dollars in the past almost dozen years following the 1990 Oakland explosion. Cherney uses devices like "Redwood Justice Fund", "Redwood Summer Justice Project", "Bay Area Coalition for the Headwaters", "Environmentally Sound Productions", and a host of other front groups to run these fundraising scams. Cherney's only interests are Fame and Fortune! His boldest scam is a 20 million dollar lawsuit against the City of Oakland and the FBI which is scheduled to go to court April 8.

PAM you sound like a true agent provacateour Fed. Cointlepro lives on I see. Or maybe your one of those Bruce Anderson /Irv Sutley conspiracy nuts who think that Judi Bari was not wrongly accused and then smeared by the FBI and Oakland police and the mass media. Hill & Knowlton PR firm which has historical links with both the FBI and CIA were hired by the Timber Industry to defeat the Forests Forever Ballot Initiative in 1990. They were successful in part to the huge media smear associating Earth First with "terrorists" in the aftermath of the car-bomb assasination attempt on Judi Bari in May of 1990. The FBI, OPD and all corporate media ran the obvious lie that Judi & Darryl bombed themselves, instead of the truth, that they were bombed! So you now claim that Darryl's lawsuit (which is really Judi's) against the FBI is a "scam". This is the biggest lie COINTELPRO has come up with yet! The FBI is obviously afraid of losing this valid case, and if there is anything resembling Justice left in this neo-fascist country they damn well deserve to lose. Irv Sutley and his DNA have been connected to death threat letters and police informant letters. Sutley spent 8 years in the Marine Corps during the sixties but never went to Vietnam. Why? Then he joined the Communist Party at a time when the "war at home" & Cointelpro and Operation Chaos were in full swing. Bruce Anderson and all you anti-Judi & Darryl freaks seem to get all or most of your dis-info about Darryl & Judi's case directly or indirectly from Irv Sutley. Mr gun loving snitch who claims he can't even use a a typewriter. Bullshit he can't. Anyone who owns and uses guns including Uzi's can pull a trigger and it only takes one finger to run a typewriter. So I think you are either on a personal vendatta against Darryl, and Earth First! in general or you are maliciously spreading disinformation to further smear the movement, at the behest of your corporate-brown-nosing superiors in the Federal spook agencies. Your inferiority complex is monumental.

PS. Fuck You Asshole!

Drew Hendricks? Are you writing under the pseudonym "Cointelpro Sucks"??? Slow down dude - you really must get a grip. The attack on Bari and Cherney wasn't Cointelpro --- the evidence all points to (and the trial next month) will prove Bari's former husband did the deed.

Your list of organizations is impressive, yes, but you fail to mention or maybe you falsely assume or have been fed the misinformation That Darryl runs all those groups. This is not true. The only group that you list that Darryl controls is Eniviromental Sound Productions. You can check with all of them and see that Darryl (for good reasons) is not even a decision maker or in control of thier finances. So your statement about "Darryl himself" bringing in over a $ million over the last whatever years is false! You are simply adding up totals of 8 or nine seperate groups & funds who all have thier own fund-raising mechanism, including Judi's medical funds and the fund set up for her childern, and the Purple Berets? please!! Show us that Darryl has any financial powers over any of those groups besides ESP!!

Flatland is the conspiracy mag. that first published Irv Sutley's buddy Gerhman's fictional account of how innocent Irv is?? Poor Irv! that falsely accused undercover agent, when will we ever respect all the hard work he has done to villify Earth First! and discredit Judi's Lawsuit against the poor, innocent FBI.
Poor, poor Irv!! Do you know he even passed a cop lie detector test when they asked him 4 whole questions that he came up with himself? I bet I could pass a lie detector test if I got to choose the 4 questions. But that's suppossed to prove he's not a fed. Right Irv. Sure we believe you.
