This terrorist is home grown and they operate under the guise of the moniker" eco- terrorist" . meet the American Al- Qaeda, the Earth Liberation Front( ELF) . "The time has come to decide what is more important: the planet and the health of its population or the profits of those who destroy it. " Around 4AM on Monday March 3, the quiet tranquility, 2008 of the Seattle area night was interrupted by the sounds of sirens. However, unlike their middle east counterparts, these terrorists are on our soil. Many sirens. Three were lost and two were saved.

Four multimillion- dollar homes along a Street of Dreams in Snohomish County, Washington were ablaze. The fifth home, while set for destruction, did not ignite. The Snohomish County sheriff s Office and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Explosives, Firearms also are participating as part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force. The FBI is investigating the fires as a possible" domestic terrorism act" , said FBI spokesman Fred Gutt in Seattle. Authorities estimated that Monday s fires did over$ 7 million in damage to the Street of Dreams. The homes were promoted and designed to be eco- friendly. Named the Street of Dreams, this developmental project was comprised of a row of luxury model homes.

These so called" green" houses were to include such features such as formaldehyde- free materials, energy- efficient appliances and landscaping that included idiginous plants. Acting as judge, the ELF denied, jury and executioner that the homes were indeed green and for that crime against the environment, their sentence was death. Whether or not they were indeed green really does not matter. Death in the form of destroying these beautiful homes. Nope black! The ELF left behind a sign that read, "Built Green?

McMansions in RCDs r not green. The homes destroyed on the Street of Dreams, 200 and 4, ranged between 4, 750 square feet in size. ELF. " An RCD is a building code designation referring to a project in a rural cluster development. They were selling at prices around$ 2Million dollars each.

They believe that capitalism infringes upon Mother Earth, and they will use any means necessary to spew their hate and inflict their economic sabotage.

ELF members, like their cultural Jihadist brethren, have pledged their lives to their cause. It is believed that The ELF was founded in the England in 199They quickly grew and spread throughout Europe by 199It is now an international terrorist group with operations reported in over a dozen countries. They are maniacal in their mission to destroy the profitability of residential development and industrial progress. The ELF operates in cells embedded in communities across the world. They shroud themselves in the cover of darkness to wreak havoc in their war against Capitalistic advancement that, in their sole discretion, causes environmental destruction. Sound familiar?

The ELF was classified as the top domestic terror threat in the United States by the FBI in March 200The United States Department of Homeland Security concurred that the Earth Liberation Front is the most serious threat to our nation. How dangerous is this organization? Not convinced that the Earth Liberation Front are true terrorists? To inflict maximum economic damage on those profiting from the destruction and exploitation of the natural environment. b. Here is some information taken from their published mission statement explaining what their cause is: a. To reveal to, and to educate the public about the atrocities committed against the earth and all species that populate it. c. Sounds fanatical to me.

To take all necessary precautions against harming any animal- human and nonhuman. This is eerily reminiscent of the same hatred we have heard from Islamic extremists. They seek to eradicate anything they deem contrary to their beliefs. The foundational basis for these organizations is clear. Just as you can not negotiate with Islamic extremists, you can not negotiate with the ELF. In a 2001 incident, ELF members burned 35 SUVs at a Eugene, Ore. , car dealership.

While a great deal of their attention is focused on real estate developments, the ELF will attack any business in any industry that they judge to be guilty of exploiting Mother Earth. This attack was reportedly executed as a show of solidarity and support for a fellow anarchist elf who was standing trial on a previous arson incident. This monkeywrenching can be carried out upon everything from the logging industry, to automobile manufacturing, to genetic research and sales. and of course, real estate development. Monkeywrenching, described as economic warfare by means of sabotage, is the ELF s main avenue of choice for imposing their will. The FBI s most recent report in 2005 noted that there had been over 1, 200" criminal incidents" amounting to tens of millions of dollars worth of damage. We are speaking about cold- hearted ruthless terrorists who have a insatiable desire for economic bloodletting and who revel in the use of explosives and incendiary devices.

We are not talking about you re average group of treehuggers here. A suburban IED if you will. "While innocent life will never be harmed in any action we undertake, where it is necessary, we will no longer hesitate to pick up the gun to implement justice, and provide the needed protection for our planet that decades of legal battles, protest, pleading, and economic sabotage have failed so drastically to achieve. " Somewhere, somebody knows where this evil lurks. Unfortunately in this instance it is not a half a world away. It eats, and it lives, it walks among us. It s here, and it wants, in America to take away our freedom and our streets of dreams. As a Nation, as an individual American and as a real estate industry professional, we can not let them succeed.
