The DAM is almost 300 pages of diagrams, descriptions of techniques and a comprehensive overview of the role direct action plays in resistance—from planning an action, doing a soft blockade, putting up a treesit or executing a lockdown; to legal and prisoner support, direct action trainings, fun political pranks, and more. The DAM has been compiled and updated by frontline activists from around the US to help spread the knowledge and get these skills farther out in the world.

Single Copies: $15—This is just barely above cost for printing and shipping—a little money is still being generated for the Earth First! Journal and the Direct Action Fund. Thanks!

Timber Wars. 

Darryl Cherney Says: I was Judi's organizing partner for the full 9 years I knew her. Her writings are humorous, easy on the eye, and insightful. Most important, like any autobiographical work, they give an insiders insight into the topic at hand. Pieces Why I Hate the Corporate Press are funny and poignant. There was one chapter I disagreed with: Showdown at the Earth First corral. I was present at most or all of the events Judi writes about and she's spot on. It's a limited edition, so buy it while you can!

Redwood Uprising: From One Big Union to Earth First! and the Bombing of Judi Bari

I especially like visiting the Redwood Forests of Northern California. The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.

The Ewok Villages and the Forest Moon of Endor. The flying motorcycle scenes were filmed by having the Stedicam Inventor, Garrett Brown walk thru the woods following the path they travel... and then Industrial Light and Magic bluescreened in the Actors and Flying Motorcycles...

On Highway 101 traveling North from Eureka, just past Trinidad, there is a rest stop with a paved footpath that looks just like the movie... A little imagination and you can hear the little teddy bear people singing and playing the drums...

Let's reduce the defense budget to half by ending CrazyWars... I wonder what the Mission is... Any GOAL? Anything?

 Obviously, It's not to defend the USA. The Military has not Defended the USA since 1945. There was a real attack on us on 9/11/2001 but the military failed to protect the country. Total Failure... So there must be some other reason we have invaded Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Is it simply to sell weapons to the Pentagon? Whenever we have a war we sell a lot of weapons, meals, tents, bandages, trucks, and airplanes... Corporations make a great profit. Soldiers die, civilians die, enemies die, but nothing is really accomplished. After all, what difference did it make who won the war in Nicaragua? None. It made a difference to the people of Nicaragua but it had no effect on life here in the USA. None of these Crazy Wars have made any difference to the people of the USA. NONE! The only military action that made any sense was the dozen men that assassinated Osama bin Laden. That was a worthwhile mission.

Therefore, It's really important to remember to NOT VOLUNTEER for the military. I saw President Trump talking at a Wounded Warrior Event today and it reminded me that all those people VOLUNTEERED to go die for nothing. OOPS, they got wounded because ___________. Fill in the blank if you know why. Was it simply because they couldn't find a civilian job and the military was hiring? Was it because they saw a John Wayne movie and got all inspired? Was it because they were easily brainwashed?

If we cut defense spending in half we could afford many wonderful things. We could prevent hunger 100%. We could pay for health care for all. We could pay for great school for all. We could pay teachers more... Not only is defense money wasted but people's lives are wasted also. The engineers that invented drone airplanes could have been designing better electric cars... BUT, they wasted their talents making drones... Most soldiers spend their entire career without once doing anything of value. What IF we hired them to rebuild our infrastructure? We have roads that need paving but no money to fund construction crews. WHAT IF WE STARTED BEING SMART?

So, what can one person DO to end Crazywar? Vote Democratic... and write to your representatives and ask them to stop funding stupid stuff. For example: You could copy and paste this message and email it to them.
