@nssurge I'm not exactly sure, it's been debated elsewhere in the comments. Read through the comments and you might be able to figure it out. Thanks for watching!!!! Earth First!
@nssurge Yes, North Coast Earth First! was primarily focused on saving old growth redwoods and douglas fir forests in Humboldt County, CA. It went on from about 1985-2008; in 2008, the parent corporation, Maxxam, sold Pacific Lumber Co. to the Mendocino Redwood Company, who renamed it "Humboldt Redwood Company." They promised not to cut old growth nor clearcut, and so far they have kept their word. Other groups are working on other projects now, yet that was the essence of NCEF!
Yes, just do a search for Kate Wolf, and you'll find her CDs on Amazon and other websites. The song is also called "Brother Warrior," you can find it referred to as both online, so just look for a CD with one of those titles. Thanks so much! Earth First! ~Shunka
I'm sure even Ali G gets a little stinky every now and then. In my experience, people who have spent time in the forest smell like the forest, which isn't all that bad. Just about everyone who does any kind of labor job gets smelly by the end of the work day, and coffee, cigarette, and alcohol breath is pretty bad, too, eh? It was a cheap shot, a lame little insult, yet that's what Ali G does, and nobody really took it, or him, very seriously. We will seriously defend non-violence, though.
I've heard that from other friends from across the ocean. The context in which I was given the name was the Cheyenne River Lakota Reservation, in South Dakota. The full name means "the humble man called 'horse'" and "Shunka," by itself, means "dog." I was told that I was given that name to bear a heavy weight in my lifetime, and I adopted it as my EF! forest name on the night of the day I witnessed the murder of David "Gypsy" Chain, on September 17th, 1998. Still at it...Earth First! -Shunka
I think the video was very informative actually, and got a lot of important points across. What I've only just realised after looking at a great many Ali G videos is that actually he is very clever and he tries to draw people out from hiding behind their favorite politically correct slogans etc, and in doing so he paradoxically exalts the level of the argument. I didn't think that was so at first, but now I am sure. You guys are real, so he didn't 'get' you, and it shows.
Thanks so much, and I do agree about Ali G. I was skeptical at first, and then went ahead and rented all of his stuff, so that I could put our interview into some kind of context. After watching everything he has out, I came to the conclusion that he really does get some people who deserve to be gotten, and in such a clever way, keeping a straight face throughout, that I had to have a certain level of respect for his work. Thanks so much, I appreciate your comment, and I humbly agree:)
Liberals are surprisingly tolerant. If Ali G had gone up to conservatives, they would have probably murdered him just like they did to all those people in Iraq.
I disagree. I believe that the US invasion of Iraq was, and is, all about oil, money, and power. The US funded Hussein, encouraged his violence, and then turned on him, as per the CIA m.o. The US founded Al-CIA-da and the Taliban, funded them, armed them, trained them, and are now using them as convenient trouble-makers in any spot that the US wants to invade next. The violence in the Middle East is all about building empire, and it must stop (that means Pakistan, too, Obama).
Who was executed without a proper trial, in front of a taunting crowd, a far cry from the democracy that we were supposedly bringing to the area. How many innocent men, women, and children have been tortured and killed along the way? There were no WMDs, it's all been a fraud and just another phase of the empire-building for the US and Britain. It's a fraud, and very un-American, unless you accept the Vietnam disaster to be the new standard for American aggression and greed.
Greg King is still involved with the local enviro movement, and Julia is still doing great things in her life. People move on and new people take the torch. We don't engage in property destruction, so I'm not sure what you mean by the Rod Coronado comparison; Rod hasn't been involved in any property destruction in many years, to my knowledge, and I think it's interesting that you fear him so. Responsibility? Try maintaining a tree-sit! We do agree on non-violence, so your comments are empty
Not compared to an ancient old growth redwood tree:) I'm only 33, and I'm one of the oldest people in the crew, so it's not really fair to say that North Coast Earth First! is comprised of "old hippies." We don't discriminate at all, and we have an "anti-oppression" policy that provides specific safeguards against discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, nationality, etc. As long as you're non-violent, you can be part of this egalitarian movement. Lots of stereotypes out there...
I'm not QQ, just using every opportunity to educate the public about what Earth First! is really about. You'd be surprised at how many people try to put us down as "tree-hugging hippies," and it's important, to me, to let people know how much more is actually going on with revolutionary resistance movements like Earth First! We do have a sense of humor, though, which is why this video is posted in the first place. Earth First!
I dont wanna put you guys down i thinks its great what you do.. I just thought that you where a bunch of old hippies :p yeah man great job keep saving trees if thats what you wanna do with life good for you hope you save a lot of trees in your life my "old" friend ;) much love to you guys Earthfist ftw<3 btw can i come and chill with you guys in one of those old redwood tree (: ?
I like Ali G...I mean he's funny and all. But really, when you think about it, this sort of piss-taking is extremely unhelpful. We won't have any planet left if they keep destroying it. The Earth F!rsters are fighting the most important fight...I'm not convinced Sacha is really helping much!!
He's raising public awareness. He already had a funny show, and he's bringing up important issues in circles that normally wouldn't give a fuck. I found this rather educational.
