Who Bombed Judi Beri? Great Movie! In 1990 the FBI Bombed EARTH FIRST! Activists Darryl Cherney and Judi Beri. The FBI was Fined $400,000 but Did Not ADMIT Guilt.

Who Bombed Judi Bari? is an American historical documentary about an assassination attempt on the life of Judi Bari, an American environmental and labor activist, which occurred on May 24, 1990 via a pipe bomb in her car.[1][2] It was directed by Mary Liz Thomson and produced by Darryl Cherney. He is also an environmental activist and was traveling with Bari that day, but was not as severely wounded.

While driving through Oakland, California on their way to a benefit concert for the Redwood Summer campaign to save California's coast redwood trees, activists Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney were injured when a pipe bomb detonated under the driver's seat of Bari's car.[3] Bari, who was driving, was critically injured.

Oakland police and the FBI approached the explosion as a terrorist incident, and arrested Bari and Cherney. In their investigation, they tried to prove that the activists were transporting an explosive device that accidentally detonated. The two were never charged with a crime

They filed a civil rights lawsuit in 1991 against these law enforcement organizations for violation of their constitutional rights. In 2002 they won the lawsuit (Bari had died of breast cancer in 1997). Cherney and the late Bari's estate were awarded $4.4 million, to be paid by the FBI and Oakland Police Department.[4] The authorities allegedly did not investigate any other suspects. Discovery during the lawsuit revealed crime scene photos that clearly showed the bomb was located under Bari's seat, not in the back seat as investigators had alleged.[1]

Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney were falsely arrested for car-bombing themselves on May 24, 1990 while on an Earth First! musical organizing tour for Redwood Summer. They sued the FBI for violations of the First Amendment, claiming the FBI knew they were innocent but arrested them to try to silence them. Having survived the bomb but now stricken by cancer, Judi Bari, a leader of the movement to save California's old growth redwoods, gives her on-camera, deathbed testimony about the attempt on her life and her colorful organizing history with the radical environmental movement Earth First.

Jury's message to feds in $4.4 million verdict for Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney
(revised 6/19/02)

On June 11, 2002, a federal jury returned a stunning verdict in favor of Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney in their landmark civil rights lawsuit against four FBI agents and three Oakland Police officers. 

The jury unanimously found that six of the seven FBI and OPD defendants tried to frame Judi and Darryl in an effort to crush Earth First! and chill participation in Redwood Summer. That was evident in the fact that 80% of the $4.4 million total damage award was for violation of their First Amendment rights to speak out and organize politically in defense of the forests. 

"The jury exonerated us," said Darryl Cherney. "They found the FBI to be the ones in violation of the law. The American public needs to understand that the FBI can't be trusted. Ten jurors got a good, hard look at the FBI and they didn't like what they saw." 

"It's really beyond our wildest dreams," said Darlene Comingore, Judi Bari's friend and executor of her estate who stood in for her as co-plaintiff in this suit. "We hope the FBI and Oakland and all the police forces out there that think they can violate people's rights and get away with it are listening because the people of the state of California and Oakland today said, 'No, you can't. You can't get away with it.' "

Lead attorney Dennis Cunningham said the message he hopes the verdict sends is that: "Ashcroft is doing precisely the wrong thing to abandon the (Levi) guidelines and let the FBI go after dissent with a free hand. It's clear that their intention is not about fighting terrorism, it's about suppressing dissent. That's what the FBI has always been about. Hopefully it will make Congress think twice about giving them a free hand."

Time for my 2 mile walk, I get lost no worries I have GPS, pull out my trusted I-phone put in the coordinates and off I go, it is so fricken hot in Bakersfield, 5 minutes on my journey IPhone conks out and I get a message IPhone needs to cool down grrrr

and I Replied: I had no idea that iPhones FAIL in Hot Temperatures! That's Totally Unacceptable... When I walk around I carry one so IF I FALL DOWN I can call for help... I also take pictures of Flowers and Clouds BUT... The Main Reason is Safety... but I Never go Out when it's Hot. I Can do a Walk at Dawn in the COOL and Listen to the BATS...

“This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . If you’re worried about what all this means for America’s future, you should be.”NPR
 
An explosive exposé of the right’s relentless campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize public education, stop action on climate change, and alter the Constitution.

Behind today’s headlines of billionaires taking over our government is a secretive political establishment with long, deep, and troubling roots. The capitalist radical right has been working not simply to change who rules, but to fundamentally alter the rules of democratic governance. But billionaires did not launch this movement; a white intellectual in the embattled Jim Crow South did. Democracy in Chains names its true architect—the Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan—and dissects the operation he and his colleagues designed over six decades to alter every branch of government to disempower the majority.

Vote Democratic: We are in favor of Good and Opposed to Evil... Republicans are Bribed with Campaign Contributions to Do what The Super Rich Want.

Why don't we TRY Majority Rule? Most people prefer it. 

HOWEVER... the Super Rich pay Politicians to Do What Is Best For Them... Not US. 

By purchasing vast quantities of Television Advertisements they BRAINWASH people into believing what they say... 

Did you ever notice that Trump's BLAMING IMMIGRANTS FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS is very similar to HITLER'S BLAMING JEWS FOR ALL GERMANY'S PROBLEMS... 

In REALITY, Neither Jews NOR Immigrants are to blame... BUT... If they repeat the lies again and again and again... people have a tendency to BELIEVE THE LIES... 

Time has come to actually DO SOMETHING about Global Warming.

Trump says EPA chief Scott Pruitt has received Death Threats. That makes me ask some VERY TROUBLING QUESTIONS...

For Example: What if you invented a Time Machine and could travel to Austria in 1900, would you shoot Adolph Hitler as a child? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one?

Yes, Scott Pruitt is causing damage to the USA by repealing Clean Air Laws and Clean Water Laws... and Yes, others in the Cursed Trump Administration want to repeal the Endangered Species Act... and Yes, Ryan Zinke wants to allow drilling for oil off the coasts... and in National Monuments...

BUT!

Do they deserve to die? 

Why not Psychic Re-Grooving? Wouldn't THAT be a better solution? Simply take them camping and let them eat peyote and dance all night around a fire while people play the drums? That would re-groove their bad attitudes... They would learn to LOVE animals and plants...

We would have an Environmental Protection Agency instead of an Enable Polluters Agency...

"Cosmic Heart Art" and a few words in support of the Environmental Protection Agency

I support the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump has appointed an anti environment person to lead the agency. The goal is to reduce anti pollution regulations to save corporations money at the expense of the people of the USA.
I've been practicing walking while focusing my attention on my breath. At the same time look and observe the trees and the wind in the leaves. It's a cool day here in Sacramento and the roses are in full bloom. I saw a red and gold colored bush. Those roses are called 49ers after the red blood of the miners and the gold in them thar hills. Then three airplanes flew over in formation. Makes me wonder why they would do such a thing. There is an air force base near here but what would be the motive for such an exercise... After our walk I spent some time sitting on the back porch meditating. The videos that Ram Dass has published have been useful in learning how to do it..

During the Trump years we can expect a constant attack upon regular people. He will continue to propose executive actions that help the super rich to get even more wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

How can we remain competitive in the global marketplace if everybody's stoned? asks Governor Jerry Brown... VERY WELL, THANK YOU. Traffic on my blog increased dramatically about October 1st, 2016. The day they legalized Marijuana in Oregon. I was there. I shopped..

Do YOU want to succeed in business? SMOKE CANNABIS. What if we legalized Cannabis Nationwide? Would we create more successful computer scientists? Apple Computer - Steve Jobs - LSD - The Mouse - GET a CLUE! Getting Stoned Works. We can make America Great Again if we simply put down to guns and pick up the BONG. http://www.vandergreg.com/
