Have we seen Deep Green Resistance carry-out acts of violence in the
past?

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.

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.
