the elf released a communique describing the burning of Delta and Pine Land, the same company pushing the terminator technology on us.

from the infoshop.org page:

The Earth Liberation Front takes credit for torching the Delta & Pine Land Co. Research cotton gin in Visalia, California on February 20. D&PL continues to pursue its "Terminator technology" despite global opposition to the genetic engineering of plants to produce sterile seeds. Engineering a suicide sequence into the plant world is the most dangerous new technology since nuclear power and needs to be stopped. We chose this warehouse because it contained massive quantities of transgenic cotton seed in storage. But now, this seed will no longer exist to contaminate the environment, enrich a sick corporation, or contribute to its warped research programs.

After cutting through a padlock on a door to get into the warehouse, we placed 4 five-gallon buckets filled with half gasoline and half diesel in strategic locations. Windows were broken to provide the fire with oxygen and timers were set.

Within just a few minutes the operation was complete.

We are the burning rage of a dying planet.

...Terminate D&PL, cremate Monsanto, burn biotechnology...

This is wonderful! The only way we will be able to get rid of dangerous GE products is with more direct action like this. After ever-increasing police presence at demonstrations here in the U.S., and corporate media's refusal to relay the messages of those who take to the streets, it's becoming harder and harder to make any significant social change without taking it directly to the corporations whose profits buy out our government. Without directly affecting corporate profits, we will never succeed.
