"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the
industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
Maurice Strong, Head of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro

"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists, and their projects... We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers, and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land." David Foreman, EarthFirst! member

Think about it.......look what is happening in the Klamath Basin...look what is happening in Oregon, in the Western US, in America.  How many civilizations have survived when their food source has been eliminated?

In this section, we will look at what is happening in the Klamath Basin and other areas to try to gain understanding into the agenda that seeks to eliminate our communities....our productivity, our work ethics, our way of life.
