Militant Environmentalists Call for Executions and ‘Decisive Ecological Warfare’
“Do we need a militant movement to save the planet (and ourselves)?”
That was the question posed in recent article on the left-wing site Alternet when it interviewed a group of radical environmentalists who are allegedly endorsing “Decisive Ecological Warfare.” And in order to realize their goal of ridding the planet of industrial civilization — even modern agriculture — the group intends to employ tactics “of both militaries and insurgents the world over.”
One of the activists, Derrick Jensen, allegedly even believes those who destroy the environment should be summarily executed: “If it were up to me, all the people associated with the Gulf oil spill, which is murdering the Gulf, would be executed. That would be part of the function of a state,” said Jensen.
In addition to Jensen, the two other environmentalists interviewed in the article – Lierre Keith, and Aric McBay — have spearheaded a fringe movement called the “Deep Green Resistance” (with a book of the same name) that calls for “direct attacks on infrastructure” and an annihilation of civilization as we know it.

Actions like this, give those of us who fight for the environment a bad name. Being extreem is not good. Remember when one doesn’t have the truth on their side, they revert to name calling, and wanting to silence by other side, by any means including murder. If you were able to discuss the issue, you wouldn’t have to revert to these tactics.
White Nationalists do this and Progressives and people on the left do this too. I condemn all hate and violence. If this is what the Greens desire, then I want no part of them, like I want no part of the White Nationalists or Progressives.
I choose Christ and trying to be the best Catholic/Christian I can be. I strive to love as Christ loved. That is why I pray for those who hate me, use me, abuse me, hurt me, and who lie about me. Christ tells us to pray for our enemies and those who hate us.
We should stive to be good caregeivers of the earth which is also God’s creation. He doesn’t call us to execute people who disagree with us politically.
Have to go and get ready to meet a friend.
