(01-13) 17:55 PST Auburn, Calif. (AP) -- Three people were arrested Friday on suspicion that they plotted to blow up U.S. Forest Service property along with cell phone towers and power generators, the FBI said.

Zachary O. Jenson, 20, of Monroe, Wash., Lauren Weiner, 20, of Philadelphia, and Eric Taylor McDavid, 28, of Foresthill, Calif., were arrested Friday morning, said Karen Ernst of the FBI.

Federal authorities believe all three are members of the Earth Liberation Front, a shadowy collection of environmental activists that has claimed responsibility for dozens of acts of destruction in the past few years.

Matt Mathes, spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service, said he couldn't comment on the investigation, at the FBI's request. The FBI said there was no threat to the public. The three were being held in jail pending arraignment in federal court on Monday. Ernst said she did not believe they had attorneys.

Idiots!

oooops weiner :-}

Perhaps they will take the same route their friend in Prescott, AZ did. Hopefully not until some information can be extracted from them.

[ApplegateRanch]

Why are you wasting band width on this? If it was important, CBS would have told me about it tonight, rather than yabbeling about defunct pension plans for 5 minutes.

Can't help wondering if any of these idiot zealots will follow the lead of that considerate young compatriot of theirs, who committed suicide in his cell last month, thus saving us the cost of a trial.

[lesser_satan]

just expand the wot to include these pathetic little bastards. we'll see how they like playing terrorist when they're staring down the business end of an mp-5.

No problem. This is the SanFrancisco chronicle so things can go either way ...............

[jazusamo]

Now that the FBI is tracking them down and arresting them, the smug smart a$$es aren't mouthing off. Paybacks sweet.

[A6M3]

I hope the FBI sends them to Cairo for interrogation.

So they promote nature by attempting to disable a group composed of people who have devoted their lives to protecting nature.

These people have the IQ of a tree and that's being generous.

[Erik Latranyi]

So they promote nature...

No, they aim to preserve nature. In their definition, preservation means no human contact with nature.

Sportsmen and the majority believes in conservation of nature....the proper use of natural resources for the benefit of mankind.

The Earth Liberation Front is responsible for multiple terrorist attacks across our country. Many are minor vandalism, but some, like burning down car dealerships, is major destruction. These people don't care if some people die in the process.

Wait till these pukes find out that Domestic Terrorism carries some really serious Federal Prison Time. Then there's the Conspiracy charges that will add about 10 years to the sentence.

And just for grins the Fibbies can toss in some RICO indictements. Once those Fed accountants start following the money, PETA won't be far behind.

At the age of 20 this shows that propaganda now education lead these three to think the evil in the world is the forest service, cell phones and power companies - stupid kids and even more stupid adults who have done the job on them.

[Global2010]

THe NWCN loop keeps showing a clip of on of the neighbors to those arrested and BOY does she need to google ELF.

Very uninformed as she went on an on about what peaceful non violent nature lovng activists the ELF members are.

Maybe someone will give her a copy of one of their newsletters and she will ask for a media retraction of her own words.

[tubebender]

Perhaps the other bunch arrested had a trail to these three. Let's hope there are more busted...

[forester]

yep, I suspect that the feds finally got someone to infiltrate the ELF. Probably took some time to get the guy ready, growing dreadlocks, building up his THC tolerance etc

[Grampa Dave]

"Perhaps the other bunch arrested had a trail to these three. Let's hope there are more busted..."

During the Clintoon era of raping and damaging America, Jake Reno and her clone Jamie Gorelick insured that these enviral terrorists were not investigated. The rat governors of California, Oregon and Washington did the same. White Conservative Christian and Jewish Males who legally owned guns became the focus of their investigations. Now the wheels of justice are back on track with these eco terrorists.

So any new trails will be investigated to the full extent instead of ignoring them.

[girlangler]

Good point. I wondered when the feds were going to take these domestic terrorists seriously.

If their efforts aren't nipped soon there will be some humans killed eventually.

Thought you'd like to see this one yank.

Earth Liberation Front Resorts to Terrorism in the Wake of Failed Court Battle Vail Ski Resort Sustains $12 Million in Damage Due To Arson by Norm Lenhart

---

"On behalf of the lynx, five buildings and four ski lifts at Vail were reduced to ashes on the night of Sunday, October 18th. Vail, Inc. is already the largest ski operation in North America and now wants to expand even further. The 12 miles of roads and 885 acres of clearcuts will ruin the last, best lynx habitat in the state. Putting profits ahead of Colorado's wildlife will not be tolerated. This action is just a warning. We will be back if this greedy corporation continues to trespass into wild and unroaded areas. For your safety and convenience, we strongly advise skiers to choose other destinations until Vail cancels its inexcusable plans for expansion."

These are not the words of the IRA, the Islamic Jihad, or another foreign terrorist organization. They are the words of a domestic terrorist organization, the ELF (Earth Liberation Front), and they are speaking directly to you, to me, and to every citizen of the United States of America.

News about Environmentalist and Animal Rights Organizations

Environmentalist Movement (General)

Funding the international green agenda--Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), especially environmentalist groups, have become enormously influential in international politics. But how did they attain that power? In our manifesto, we traced the fundamental ideas that led to movement's ascendancy. But the Capital Research Center takes a different approach: it "follows the money." Their eye-opening report reveals that "With the financial backing of major U.S. philanthropies, such as the Ford Foundation, environmental activists use United Nations forums and other international meetings to influence global trade and environmental policy." Among the groups dissected: EarthJustice Legal Defense Fund, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace Fund, Greenpeace International, Greenpeace, Inc., Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Pew Charitable Trusts, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the (Ted) Turner Foundation. A must for all researchers on environmental issues.


If your wondering what kinds of thoughts these people idiots have, let me leave you with some of their better quotes...

What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy. -- Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans. -- Dr. Reed F. Noss, The Wildlands Project

If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels. -- Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund

We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects . . . We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land. -- David Foreman, Earth First!
