Maxxam still cutting Old Growth in the Mattole

by Shunka (shunka_2002 [at] yahoo.com)
Old Growth being hauled out of the Mattole, after the court order had been issued.
Maxxam is clearly a lawless rogue corporation; who will step in to enforce the judge's ruling?

Just in case you wondered if Maxxam is still cutting Old Growth, here's a huge one that was hauled out of Fox Camp gate on the 9/20/02 lockdown.
This was done after the stay out order had been given, yet Maxxam continues to defy the orders of the courts, because they are a lawless, out-of-control rogue corporation.
Will the National Guard have to be called in to stop Charles Hurwitz and Robert Manne? Or how about Homeland Security?
What happens to a corporation when they willingly and blatantly disregard a direct order of the courts to "stay" out of the forests of Humboldt County?
Maxxam/PL is clearly in contempt of court, and must be stopped!!!! We are enforcing the orders of the court when we lock down to stop them, so we should have the support of the local, state, and federal governments.
Are we seeing the blatant corruption of the shitstem, as the true colors come out? A direct court order, yet no one is willing to stop Maxxam/PL except for the forest defenders. Sad state of affairs, isn't it?
Maxxam/PL, your day of justice is nearing....

This time of year you get hit up by a lot of questionable charities, and some just plain annoying ones. My favorite pitch this season comes in an e-mail from someone or something called Shunka Wakan—on the West Coast, in case you couldn’t guess. It goes like this:

Please Help!

Your $10 donation will help to create a permanent base camp, open year-round, which will also double as a sustainable permaculture community.

The idea is to buy some land in Humboldt County, California, which will be a place where the Humboldt forest activist community can do trainings, grow gardens, build Earthen shelters, have a sweat lodge, relax and heal, get bodywork, play some music, and, basically, have a revolutionary outpost, which will last for generations to come...

So let me get this straight, Shunka. Wakan. Whatever the fuck your name is. (What is that, Native American for Huge Balls?) I’m sitting here in my ratty office in New York City, on a cold and cloudy day, gearing up for the gloomiest New York City Christmas in memory, and you’re putting the bite on me for a donation so you and your fucking hippie friends can play like woodchucks in the forest in Humboldt Fucking County, CA? Get bodywork? I got some bodywork for you, you fucking worthless hippie scum.

You tell me I “could help make a dream come true, and you would always be welcome to come live, visit, train, relax, go to the woods to do civil disobedience for the forest, play, etc. We need permanent outposts for the Revolution, and we don't have to work for corporate generica for years and years to make it happen...”

Fuck you, Tonka Wonka. How about you help me make my dream come true? I dream that someday you’ll get your own fucking job in corporate fucking generica like the rest of us, and won’t smoke your entire paycheck every week, so that someday you’ll be able to afford to buy your own fucking revolutionary outpost and stop panhandling from the rest of us by e-mail, you dink.

We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
