implementation also provides an Emacs interface for editing and interacting
with an inferior Elf server process.The installation of Elf requires Standard ML of New Jersey, although it
should be easy to port to other implementations of Standard ML.There is a mailing list with announcements about Elf.The intention of this web site is journalistic in intent only
to inform and chronicle issues related to ELF.Once feared by some and admired by others for their willingness to use any means necessary, these militants are in decline.People will do what it takes to either try and stop environmental degradation, or draw attention to it.Eugene when she first met Rodgers at an Earth First!King Arthur went after his death.Darren Thurston, who helped her support herself by selling marijuana and ecstasy until her arrest in December 2005.Meyerhoff also had a desperate need to be accepted, seeking a surrogate family with his activist comrades before he abandoned the cause to find a life for himself, eventually enrolling in college in Virginia to study biomedical engineering.Kevin Tubbs, a Nebraska native who once worked for PETA organizing demonstrations against killing livestock, also got involved in arson as a way of proving himself, in his case, to win back a girlfriend who began an affair with another activist.Others also chose different paths after what they considered mere flirtation with the radical tactics of their small, tightly knit cell.Kendall Tankersley was about to enter medical school when she was arrested in 2005.Thurston, a Canadian animal rights activist turned environmentalist, presented letters from family and friends saying he dreams of returning to Canada and working with computer technology.McGowan, the son of a New York City police officer whose family witnessed the effects of the Sept.He points out that nobody was ever hurt in any of the 20 fires set by ELF members, although McGowan agreed with prosecutors there was always a risk.When Billy Cottrell was first sent up to Lompoc Federal Penitentiary, he thought he had landed the perfect job.Before his first day, however, prison officials got nervous.Thinking he might find a way to rig the water heaters to blow up the prison, Cottrell says, they denied him the job.Since the day he arrived at Lompoc, 18 months ago, say his lawyers, family and friends, Cottrell has been harassed, threatened and taunted by the prison population and, in some cases, also by the guards and the administration.He has been denied common privileges such as exercise, visitors and phone calls.But instead of helping him in prison, the letter seemed only to make things worse: Two weeks after the hearing, Cottrell was mysteriously thrown in the Hole.And he displayed bad judgment sometimes, says his friend Jesse Bloom, who has known him since the two were undergraduates at the University of Chicago.Reilly as regularly as he read The Nation.On the night of August 22, 2003, Cottrell would later testify, he had only intended to tour around Southern California with his friends Tyler Johnson and Michie Oe, plastering SUVs with bumper stickers.Cottrell agreed to take his car instead.And on several vehicles they scrawled the initials ELF, the acronym for Earth Liberation Front.As far as anyone knows, no ELF really exists; its Web site, www.They were watching this case at the highest levels in Washington.He pummeled the Clippinger Hummer lot with so many of the minibombs, in fact, that the fires lit up 14 vehicles.The presence of the equation on the SUVs made it easier to connect the crime to Cottrell.Billy made a bad impression at his very first hearing.Cottrell would be Jaime Escalante, teaching tough math to the underprivileged.He resubmitted it, patiently handwritten, three more times.Connell, then an assistant U.Cottrell himself thinks the guards were jealous of his intelligence.But his worst months in prison came late last year.Cottrell in a December 18 letter to the Weekly.Hole for studying Chinese.She just wanted the prison to follow its own rules.Klausner changed his mind soon after.Rudnick says of Pregerson.The judges seemed very, very concerned about his case and his welfare in prison.Meinberg nor the Bureau of Prisons was saying.Weekly, in urging the paper not to focus on his imprisonment when, he now argues, much greater issues are at stake.In practice, Freund is right.It would also mean letting him use his overachieving brain to teach physics and calculus (it arguably would help other prisoners too).From the inside, he watches the judicial system spend a small fortune in taxpayer dollars prosecuting, imprisoning, and then drumming up paranoia among prison guards and prisoners over a college kid who went on a vandalism spree against Hummers.Cottrell wrote in his last, much more angry letter from Lompoc.The mainstream media paid no attention to U.New York Times report in December 2005.ELF activity throughout the Pacific Northwest and Colorado.ELF from 1997 through 2001.FBI Arrests 3 Suspected ELF Members In Placer Co.February 27, 2006

Olympia.West between 1996 and 2001.From the Web Site: DemocracyNow.The National Lawyers Guild called the terrorism sentencing enhancement issued to Daniel McGowan an unnecessary and excessive government tactic to discourage the exercise of free speech.AMY GOODMAN: Let's go back to 2001.The other was a company called Jefferson Poplar Farms, which, I believe, was involved in genetic engineering tree research.We took extreme precautions in these actions so we wouldn't harm anyone.Along with some other issues it just lead to me leaving the group and moving on with life, getting back to the activism that I had been involved with for the last ten years.AMY GOODMAN: Jefferson Poplar Farms and Superior Lumber.DANIEL MCGOWAN: Yes, in 2004 actually.AMY GOODMAN: And what does it mean to say you became disenchanted?SUV's at the same exact car lot that Jeff was going on trial for burning a year prior.AMY GOODMAN: You have chosen not to.And I made promises to myself at that time and to others that I wouldn't ever blame them.My three codefendants and I have chosen that route.AMY GOODMAN: And Jacob's decision, your old friend, your thoughts?Jacob, more than anything.AMY GOODMAN: What happens to him?Civil Liberties Defense Center, which provides legal protection to environmental and social justice activists from corporate and governmental attacks on civil liberties.However, the evidence sharply disdains that point of view.This is a clip of your lawyer, Daniel, Jeffrey Robinson speaking about this outside the federal courthouse in Eugene, Oregon.Lee and I have a great deal of respect for the lawyers in the U.While I respect him and while I think he is a good and decent man, Mr.He stood in that courtroom as a representative of the United States government and told Judge Aiken that Daniel McGowan and his codefendants were essentially the same as the terrorists from the Klu Klux Klan.AMY GOODMAN: Lauren Regan, um, of the Civil Liberties Defense Center, would you care to elaborate on that point?Klu Klux Klan, others much more subtle.And so regardless of the lip speak that the government continued to give to the court and to the public, it was incredibly clear that that is exactly what they were trying to do.AMY GOODMAN: I am looking at an article on Counterpunch by Michael Donnelley that talks about this case.On December 7, 2005, seven people arrested and charged with participating in a wide array of property destruction actions the feds linked to the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front.In contrast, the government is threatening environmentalists who injured no one with extraordinary sentences ranging from 30 years to life plus 335 years.Lauren and then Daniel, I will get your response.And on that same day, Scooter Libby was sentenced for his role in outing Valerie Plame as a CIA operative to 20 months.Michael Fortier being one of the defendants in that, the terrorist enhancement never sought in those cases.And let's not forget that deforestation is the number 2 cause of climate change in the United States right now.But yet, we still see politicians and others sitting on their hands.Jeffrey Luers, um, seeing all these arson cases where people get, you know, I think the federal uh, you know, average arson sentence is 3.Alberto Gonzalez and John Lewis having a press conference in DC.That was also the same day as the Senate wire tapping investigation, or the hearings.Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front, and Stop Huntington Animal Cruelty Campaign.Um, the Earth and Animal Liberation Front I think is a response to extreme, uh, disenchantment on the part of young people that don't see any way of effectively making change.Um, you know, I left the ELF in 2001, but When I hear, you know, these definitions being thrown around like that, it just, it kinda makes me shutter.Huntington Life Sciences, in New Jersey and England.Earth First in with that definition.ELF, ALF, Earth First, as if they're all really the same thing.Different rainforest protection groups.DANIEL MCGOWAN: Exactly, it killed him.And I was already quite radicalized by, I was, I couldn't believe uh, the fact that people accepted what was going on there.AMY GOODMAN: We had your wife on then.AMY GOODMAN: How is she doing?DANIEL MCGOWAN: She's doing well.Putting up the website, dealing with all the work that is required.The excessive fundraising that we have to deal with for legal costs.My intention was to finish my classes which end in about a week and a half and wait for the Bureau Prisons to let me know where I am going, and then just go right to that prison.And hopefully, I will be able to do that in prison.But you know, I was very disenchanted and very upset about what I saw.National Security Agency had conducted a legal surveillance and monitoring during the investigation.And I would also like to put the question to Lauren Regan, in a bigger sense.But the government was really very squeamish about it.Up until that point, they had said you will either go to trial and get life in prison or you will cooperate with the federal government and name names.And for the last four defendants that was just an unworkable situation.And the judge said, no, you need to bring somebody from Washington, DC, that is in the Central Intelligence Agency and have them testify under oath that in fact that did not occur.It was also filed in the case of Brianna Waters, which is a codefendant, who is being prosecuted for the University of Washington arson, uh, in the state of Washington.And interestingly, in those Washington cases no terrorist enhancement is being sought for them.Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.DANIEL MCGOWAN: Well, they can go to the website run by friends and family.Liberties Defense Center, thanks very much for joining us.Federal prosecutors say Mr.Coronado said after his tutorial, according to prosecutors.Earth Liberation
