AlterNet reviews Deep Green Resistance
August 11, 2011
“If you’re firmly in the nonviolence-is-the-answer camp, don’t get scared off (yet), because there is a ton of crucial information in this book. And just because they mention violence doesn’t mean it’s the best policy. You may not want to sign up to lead their underground army, but you should hear them out. Because the planet is being destroyed.” — Tara Lohan at AlterNet

R.A.G.E. reviews Deep Green Resistance: the book
June 17, 2011
“To me, Deep Green Resistance gives us all this opportunity together come as community or . . . work together in common cause to protect Earth and stop the culture of the wihtikowak. The line ‘resist as if your life depends on it’ is not a metaphor.” — R.A.G.E.

Weekend workshop with Derrick Jensen, Aric McBay, and Lierre Keith
May 13, 2011
We live in the most destructive culture to ever exist. In Derrick’s talks around the country he repeatedly asks his audiences, “Does anyone think this culture will voluntarily transform to a sustainable way of living?” No one ever says yes. If we really accept the seriousness of the situation, what would that mean for our strategy and tactics? This is the urgent question we will be exploring over the weekend. Topics will include: “Organizing the Resistance,” “Bringing It Down: Bottlenecks and Levers,” “Building it Up: A Culture of Resistance,” “Liberal vs. Radical: Some Conceptual Basics,” “Organizational Structures Above and Below Ground,” “Security Culture,” and a Q&A with Derrick Jensen.

Excerpt available from Deep Green Resistance
May 6, 2011
Will you think it—that one word: resistance? Will you notice that they’ve come for our kin of polar bears and black terns, who are right now being herded into the cattle cars of industrial civilization? Will you join the others who are yearning to action? The train can be derailed, the tracks ripped up, the bridge blown down. There is no metaphor here, as any General Officer could tell us. There is a planet being murdered, and there are also targets that, if taken out relentlessly, could stop it. So think “resistance” with all your aching heart, a word that must become our promise to what is left of this planet.

Life and Productivity: Dahr Jamail on Derrick Jensen
September 7, 2010
From “Life and Productivity,” Dahr Jamail’s long, excellent article about Derrick Jensen and resistance at Truthout:
BP’s oilrig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded in April and, for 36 hours, its flames released immeasurable amounts of toxins into the atmosphere before it sunk into the depths. We now know that the vast majority of the oil that gushed from the well was intentionally submerged by BP via heavy use of dispersants at the wellhead, so most of the oil is floating around in giant undersea plumes, one of which is ten miles long, three miles wide and 300 feet thick. They are like oil bergs - what we see on top of the water is a mere fraction of what lies beneath. This was not an oil leak. This was a volcano of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.
…
Jensen, a prolific writer and author of several books, including “A Language Older Than Words” and “Endgame,” summarizes the situation we face like this: “The point is that when a gold mining corporation spreads cyanide all over the mine and this hits our groundwater and wells and destroys ground waters in Montana, they are not called a terrorist, they are called a capitalist.”The same can be said for BP. Exxon. Monsanto. Bayer. Dow. Lockheed Martin. It’s a long list.

Derrick Jensen and Chris Hedges on totalitarianism and resistance
July 16, 2010
On July 5, Derrick Jensen and Chris Hedges talked with Royal University professor Michael Truscello about totalitarianism — about the point at which ordinary people start to realize that they have been deliberately and systematically disenfranchised by the systems that control them — and about what people can and must do to resist. Watch by clicking below.

Aric McBay and COWS hold stakeout to prevent prison farm shutdowns in Ontario
June 16, 2010
Aric McBay, co-author of Deep Green Resistance with Derrick Jensen and Lierre Keith, is involved in a stakeout to catch a criminal. The place: Kingston, Ontario’s Frontenac prison. The crime: Prime Minster Stephen Harper’s planned closure of Canada’s six prison farms — to be accomplished by quietly selling off the herds of cattle that provide prisoners with a viable occupation and the local regions with sustainable, sane local business and agriculture, in exchange for cheap imported goods, through NAFTA, from the United States. McBay and his citizen group intend to stop them.
