It might sound strange, but some of the most radical deep ecology people
   actually believe that there are too many people on the earth and that
   radical steps must be taken to reduce the population and save the earth.
    This strain of deep ecology is a clear reflection of the way the movement
   was heavily influenced by people like Martin Heidegger who were also
   committed to Nazism. Yes, Nazis were radical environmentalists.....

   Jesus I spent a couple of hours researching these guys - weird is an
   understatement. Apparently they met yesterday a couple of blocks away from
   my house to consolidate their leadership, go through basic indoctrination
   and plan more events. As far as I can tell, the Austin chapter is not
   nearly as radical as the central Lierre Keith DGR whose website is a
   treasure trove of incitment to passive resistance, blowing up energy
   infra, basic counter intel and legal guidance.

   Their ideology seems to be a mix of hardcore environmentalism, anarchism,
   radical feminism and the general notion that we need to go back living
   sustainably like the american indians by blowing up every pipeline and
   cell tower on the planet. Unlike the central DGR, Austin DGR doesn't seem
   to have defined targets and goals (their meeting yesterday was a
   brainstorming session on what radical environmentalism means in Austin).

   just a few nice quotes from their central website:

   The task of an activist is not to navigate systems of oppressive power
   with as much personal integrity as possible; it is to dismantle those
   systems.

   What would we do if Nazis had invaded, and they were vacuuming the oceans,
   scalping native forests, damming every river, changing the climate, and
   putting carcinogens into every mother's breast milk, and into the flesh of
   your children, your lover, your mother, into your own flesh? How much
   worse would the damage have to get? Would you resist? If there existed a
   resistance movement, would you join it?

     New source so don't yet have code or rankings. Source is a Texas DPS
     agent.

     There is a group you may be familiar with called Deep Green Resistance.
     They are led by (among a number of people) a eco-radical named Lierre
     Keith. She co-wrote the book, Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save
     the Planet. Very enlightening if you haven't read it. The movement
     advocates the collapse of industrial civilization to reach their eco
     goals. In the book, they advocate the use of guerrilla tactics to defeat
     current institutions when it comes to the environment. Whether anyone in
     the Fed or elsewhere classifies this group as eco-terror or not, I don't
     know, but they are nothing but and should be watched.

     The local Austin chapter was part of the Occupy Austin crowd at city
     hall, however, things were not "radical" enough for them since they do
     not believe in working within the system. When I was working U/C on Nov.
     5th, some of my contacts told me that at the General Assembly on  Nov.
     4th, there was some conflict between regular Occupy people and Deep
     Green. Deep Green picked up all their stuff and left during the night.
     As best as anyone knows, they left and went to a state park off 71. The
     only place I know is McKinney Falls out in that area. They have started
     a group called the "Phoenix Commune" and intend to make their base out
     there, living off the land, so to speak. My source says they told him
     that as long as they move 10' everyday, the park officials can't make
     them leave. These Deep Green people worry me. When my Occupy people
     refer to them as "stupid, crazy motherfuckers", that bothers me, because
     these Occupy people will tolerate just about anything.

     I passed the info on to locals and since the park is way outside the
     complex, I haven't done any follow up other than to keep an eye and ear
     open for anything they may plan for the complex.

     Early on in the Occupy movement, they got the group to support some
     document called, "Indigenous Struggle Solidarity Statement" calling
     Austin an occupied territory. It includes a picture of armed native
     Americans.

     http://deepgreenresistanceaustin.org/2011/10/09/occupy-austin%E2%80%99s-indigenous-struggle-solidarity-statement/

     So, to make a long story short, I think the eco-terror group is focused
     on creating a situation where violent confrontation will be the ultimate
     outcome.
