EARTH FIRST! BOYCOTT of the 2016 AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

August 11, 2016. You are cordially invited to actively participate in the EARTH FIRST! BOYCOTT of the 2016 AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.  

Whereas it is vital to participate in bioregional ecodefensive campaigns, it is now more critical to cut the monster's throat and burn its heart!  Please know that I am seeking others to function as a "nomadic action group", whose purpose is to expose the inherent insanity of the 2016 American Presidential Election, shut it down, and liberate this civilization from the aftermath of stupidity which otherwise is certain to follow.  How's that for a constructive use of your time and resources?  Talk to me!

EARTH FIRST! CALLS FOR BOYCOTT OF 2016 AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

 DIY shut down of the 2016 American Presidential Election, 

NO COMPROMISE IN THE DEFENSE OF MOTHER EARTH~

Aug 5, 2016. Requesting that the Earth First! Journal...

...Announce that Earth First! is formally calling for a boycott of the 2016 American presidential election.  Certainly the publication's collective will have a hugely enjoyable layout party.  I mean, seriously, if not us, then tell me, who?

Berzerkely for the Holidays

 I have called off the formation of an Earth First! affinity group for the COP 21 in Paris.  Some of the Beyond Extreme Energy participants are still going to go, but what with the recent carnage, and the resultant certain-to-be very heightened security, doubtful it is that anything beyond the mildest street theatrics will be possible.  

I think that we would have to be insane to perform direct action there at this time, all things considered.  

Therefore, I will be at Berkeley's Piedmont House  during the holiday season; and will attend the climate justice march tomorrow in Oakland (which begins at 10:30AM at the amphitheatre at Lake Merrit, and the 1PM rally is in front of City Hall at the great big oak tree).  Cheers!  ;-

Post Earth First! RRR Message

Warmest spiritual greetings, Please know that the Earth First! Round River Rondezvous held in Vermont's Green Mountains (on Romance Mountain, next to a blueberry management area), was an intense eight days from July 1-8.  

Arriving in the rain with my neo-pagan friends the Novack family farmers from Massachusetts, we set up tents in the woods above the main fire circle and tarped workshop areas.  I volunteered with the Seeds of Peace/Eastern Kitchen and bottom-lined the pots 'n pans/dishes washing pit, when not chopping vegetables for the three daily meals serving a peak of 300 Earth First!ers, assorted generic anarchists, and the general public who attended.  

The week was characterized by intense soul searching in regard to racial issues, native American colonization issues, transexual/gay lifestyles, and to what extent Earth First! has succeeded or failed in realizing a necessary diverse movement identity over the past four decades.  [Regardless of the heated debates, the February 2016 Earth First! Organizers Conference will NOT be held in Oakland!]  

The week was educational for all, mostly intelligent and respectful, not fully satisfying for everyone, and yet the EF! Green Mountain Vermont host group was gracious, in spite of receiving a disproportionate amount of the criticism for the gathering's not appearing more like a world social forum.

     The after rondy direct action took place at three locations, and to see the photos, please go to the Earth First! newswire  on the internet.

     Nota bene: I was presented with the "hero of action camp" award, a wooden handled vintage monkey wrench, given to me by the Seeds of Peace radical catering collective, for having gone beyond the third dimension to ensure that there were no cases of illness food related.

     Subsequent to the post rondy direct actions, I was driven to Bucksport, Maine for three days of rebalancing.  The EF! icon and saltwater specialist Ron Huber is picking me up tomorrow morning to visit with him in Rockland, Maine where he is director of Penobscot Bay Watch.  

I am  advocating the possible development of a saltwater issues insert for the Earth First! Journal, which may contain a CD or two; and it will not affect the price of the publication.  If you have any suggestions for this, please email Penobscot Bay Watch at coastwatch@gmail.com.

     I love all of you eco-warriors madly, Craig Louis Stehr
