I thought Croatia was a small country in Eastern Europe

I have no idea why they are involved with "Earth First", even as part of the name.

North Carolinians Face Ongoing ‘Environmental Justice’ Attacks

November 10, 2011 by Frank York 

Croatan Earth First's! logo includes a tomahawk and a wrench -- to destroy industrialized society.

If you live in beautiful North Carolina, you may have encountered the activities of the wildly radical group known as Croatan Earth First! This group is pushing “environmental justice” and is apparently opposed to the use of any natural resources for the production of energy. They’re determined to destroy capitalism to “save the planet.”

The group is aligned with a number of extremist groups including animal liberation organizations, anti-whaling groups, anti-logging activists, and anti-fossil fuel groups.

Its web site boasts of its alignment with Sea Shepherd, an anti-whaling group that has “sunk ten whaling vessels” so far. It is apparently okay to let the humans drown, but let’s save the whales.

The group is also opposed to logging hardwood in North Carolina because it will apparently damage the “ecosystem,” which includes bacteria and fungi living there. Croatan Earth First! is concerned about the death of the horn devil caterpillar and the wheel bug as well. Human need for fuel is irrelevant.

Its manifesto decries “machines” that dynamite mountains for coal and opposes “pigs packed into a factory, the endless expanse of tobacco fields, the M-16s pointed in the face of foreigners, the anti-depressants polluting our waters; these are all part of our reality.”

It opposes capitalism, economic growth and urges its followers to use direct action against those who commit “violence against the living world.”

Read the whole thing.

Croatan Earth First's "who we are" web page includes a paragraph about "Respect for all life" - which, I guess, means that human beings are not "life" in their estimation, since 90% of us would ahve to die and be composted - organically, of course - for the world to work the way they envision.

I wonder how they would react to a good dose of violence applied up alongside their pointy heads?
