Man Claims Role in SUV Firebombings, Says Josh Connole is Innocent

by LA Times Friday, Sep. 19, 2003 at 8:02 AM

Man Claims Role in SUV Firebombings A self-described member of the Earth Liberation Front says he took part in Hummer vandalism


September 18, 2003

By Jessica Garrison, Jia-Rui Chong and Greg Krikorian, Times Staff Writers


A man claiming membership in the Earth Liberation Front has told The Times that he helped firebomb a San Gabriel Valley car dealership and vandalize three others last month and said the Pomona man arrested by the FBI last week had nothing to do with the crimes.

Communicating via three e-mails and in two telephone interviews over the last three days, the man provided details of the attack that authorities said were known only by investigators and those involved in the incidents. He refused to give his name, say where he lives or agree to be interviewed in person.







The caller said that he and others vandalized and set fire to Hummers and other SUVs Aug. 22 to draw attention to pollution caused by the vehicles. The ELF is a loose association of militant environmentalists that has taken responsibility for vandalism across the country costing millions of dollars.

"Even if this does turn many people off, it gets many people talking and debating the issues. This is all we really want," he wrote in an e-mail Tuesday. He described himself as a high school dropout with a passion for math as well as Greek and Roman history. He gave his age as between 20 and 25.

The caller said he contacted The Times on Monday by e-mail to make sure that Josh Connole was "not unfairly convicted." Connole, 25, an employee at a solar panel firm and an active antiwar protester, was released later Monday after authorities said they did not have enough evidence to charge him with last month's vandalism and arson fires that caused more than $1 million in damage.

Connole, who has denied any involvement or knowledge of the attacks, remains a suspect, according to West Covina police.

The FBI's Los Angeles office, which is leading a federal and local task force in the case, had no comment about the caller's claim of responsibility. "We are not going to discuss evidence in the case," said spokeswoman Cheryl Mimura. "But if this individual believes he has information about these incidents, we would ask that he come forward and contact the FBI."

Law enforcement sources, however, said details of the attacks match previously unreported evidence. Details obtained from the man in the telephone interviews include:

• A math formula — Euler's Theorem — was spray painted on one of the SUVs as a way of distinguishing the participants' work. "We thought it would be nice to have something a little kooky just in case this happened," he said, adding that he finds the formula "beautiful."

• Corona beer bottles were used for most of the Molotov cocktails, he said.

• Only the side windows of the Hummers were smashed because the windshields are shatter resistant. He and the others "tried to break through the front window," he said. "It turned out to be too difficult."

• Red, white and blue spray paint was used to vandalize the vehicles. "Patriotic colors," he said. "The cheapest possible brand." The nozzle broke off the white spray paint, he said, so mostly red and blue were used.

The caller also said he misspelled the word American — accidentally writing "Ae, and then the 'e' was crossed out and I wrote the 'm' over the 'e' " — when spray painting "Fat Lazy American Pigs" on one of the SUVs.

Authorities are skeptical of the caller's claim that he does not know Connole and speculated that the man may be trying to shield Connole and throw investigators off the track, according to one source close to the investigation.

"I did it," the caller said Tuesday night. He claimed he was calling from a pay phone in Los Angeles County and identified himself as Tony Marsden, but said that is not his real name.

His words were interrupted during the roughly half-hour conversation by whistles and clanks of passing trains. The caller said he had never heard of Connole before reading about his arrest in the newspaper.

The man said he contacted The Times after consulting with accomplices because "we all agreed that it was necessary.... Initially for the sake of rescuing Josh, although he's out now, but more importantly to try and get some of the message across, and hopefully also to bring more people to our cause."

The caller said he was willing to provide details of the overnight attack to support his claim, at times seeming to taunt the FBI for its failure to find him.

"I'm not particularly worried," he said in a telephone call Tuesday. "It seems like they really don't know what they're doing at all."

He said in a telephone call Wednesday that they picked the night of Aug. 22 for "no particular reason, except for the fact that everyone was available that night." The attacks began around midnight, and finished around 5 a.m., he said. He did not say how many people had participated, who they were or provide any description of them.

The San Gabriel Valley dealerships were chosen for convenience, he said. "There wasn't an actual plan," he said. "We were just driving."

The first car lot hit was the Rusnak Mercedes-Benz dealership in Arcadia, where police said nine SUVs were vandalized.

"That was just to try things out and see how long it would take to do how many cars," he said. After leaving, they passed an SUV in the neighborhood and broke its windows to "see how easy it would be to smash."

Next, he said, "We tried smashing and throwing a Molotov cocktail later into one of the SUVs down the road."

From there, he said, they arrived at two adjacent dealerships in Duarte. "That was just spray painting, and that's where the surveillance footage was from."

The caller said he was not alarmed when he later learned that he had been videotaped. "You wouldn't recognize me," he said, adding that he has since cut his hair.

Authorities reported that 30 SUVs were vandalized at a Mitsubishi dealership and 20 others were hit across the street at the Advantage Ford Lincoln Mercury, where authorities recovered a surveillance video. Spray painted on the cars were the words "polluter," "I {heart}pollution" and "elf," an acronym for the Earth Liberation Front.

After leaving Duarte, he said, the vandals found Clippinger Chevrolet, a Hummer dealership in West Covina. Authorities said they inflicted an estimated $1 million in damage.

The caller said the dealership had "very low security," with "a nice wall guarding the view from anyone." The vandals scaled a wall and began spray painting Hummer H2s, vehicles that dwarf most SUVs and have a base price of $49,000. They also prepared and set out 10 or 15 Molotov cocktails along their planned exit route, he said.

Then they began smashing windows, he said, and tossing Molotov cocktails into the vehicles at the dealership.

As they prepared to leave, he said, they threw the remaining Molotov cocktails as well as a canister of fuel intended for refilling camping stoves. They spent about 15 minutes there, he said, adding that bottles of gasoline "did a lot more damage than I thought it would have done."

"I'd have to say it's a bit of a rush," he said of the destruction they caused. In a phone conversation Wednesday, the caller said, "It's kind of funny, reading some of the papers, which talk about a well-funded terrorist organization. We bought $5 worth of gasoline. That's it."

As the fire raged, he said, they drove away. The caller expressed no remorse for the arson.

"We support destruction of property as a means of bringing attention to important issues, and to directly hurt the profits of those who gain wealth at the expense of all others living on this planet," he wrote in an e-mail Tuesday. "The ELF is opposed to harming any form of life, much less human life.

But the caller said he felt "incredibly bad" when he heard that Connole had been arrested. "We left plenty of clues, none of them pointing at Josh," he wrote in his first e-mail to the Times on Monday.

If Connole had been wrongly convicted, he later said in a telephone interview, he would have found another SUV dealership and "tried to repeat the action, just to make it obvious that it was not him."

As a last resort, the caller added, he would have confessed to authorities. Federal convictions could result in five to 20 years in prison for every count of arson. He acknowledged the sentence he faces is severe. "Yeah," he said, making a sound that was part laugh, part sigh.

Authorities would not say why they initially suspected Connole. They first focused on the house he shares with five friends that operates as a co-op for environmental activists. Within 48 hours after the arson fires, one source said, FBI agents had the two-story bungalow under surveillance.

Later, the source said, analysis of a videotape from a security camera at the Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership in Duarte, as well as other undisclosed evidence, led authorities to Connole.

Agents arrested Connole early Friday. Twenty hours later, search warrants were issued at his residence and other locations, including the home of his mother. More than 50 local and federal agents scoured two properties owned by the co-op where Connole has lived since June. They left with two SUVs filled with clothing, computers, books, bedsheets, a Utne Reader, a stuffed animal, pamphlets, a pair of women's underwear and lamp oil. While in custody, Connole surrendered a paint-stained pair of slacks that are now being analyzed by FBI forensics experts in Quantico, Va.

Connole said the FBI questioning began with agents telling him he was suspected in the Hummer case. "A tremendous wave [of relief] came over me. Whoo," Connole said. " 'That wasn't me. Thank God. It's all some sort of mistake.' So I didn't care if I was talking to the FBI then."

Agents focused on four issues, he said: a cigarette lighter found at the Hummer dealership, possible paint speckles on his pants and shoes, an alleged accomplice whom agents claimed they were close to finding and digitally enhanced photographs from the surveillance video.

On Monday afternoon, West Covina police released Connole after the U.S. attorney's office and the L.A. County district attorney's office declined to file charges.

The government's handling of the case drew criticism after Connole's release. FBI officials in Los Angeles and in Washington, D.C., said the case has been handled properly.

"This is not a closed book by any means," said a Justice Department official in Washington, who asked not to be identified because of the nature of the investigation. The official also dismissed the notion that the arson fires are insignificant in the context of international terrorism.

"Some people say this is minor, that you shouldn't be spending your time on these kinds of cases," said the official. "Our view is that we have seen increased rhetoric, we have seen increased activity, and while we haven't seen any deaths or injuries so far, we think it is inevitable we will.... So we are attacking the problem now."

ELF has claimed responsibility for at least 36 attacks in the last few years, including a $50-million fire at a San Diego apartment complex that was under construction and the burning of four ski lifts and three buildings at a Vail, Colo., ski resort.

The caller defended the attacks on the car dealerships and other attacks he would not specify. "No one got hurt," he said. "It's one of the reasons why explosives weren't used. They're dangerous."

On Wednesday afternoon, three FBI agents used a dog to search a red Oldsmobile convertible belonging to Connole's friend, Katie McMillan. McMillan said agents did not take anything.

Simple scam.

by @ Friday, Sep. 19, 2003 at 9:27 AM

The "ELF" attack was most likely conducted by the FBI in an effort to support PATRIOT II, create the illusion that there is a domestic terrorist threat, and find an excuse to invade the homes and privacy of activists.

As the rightwing asshole of KOBE have demonstrated repeatedly, anyone can send an anonymous email.

As for the details within that email, the sender was likely the same governmental entity that pulled off the false flag attack on the SUVs.

If this individual wished to take reponsibility, why didn't he do it earlier? Why wait until the only "suspect" was cleared? The only reason to make such a declaration right now is to re-assert that ELF did it. Since the released "suspect" was not a member of ELF, there is nothing to reassert. Therefore ELF would have no reason to claim responsibility now rather than earlier.

Thus, this is a fake claim of responsibility. Since the information came from the perps and the info is the same that the cops had, the cops must be the perps.

Case closed.

Re-reading.

by @ Friday, Sep. 19, 2003 at 9:34 AM

The cops claim this converations happened over the last few days. Why do we hear about this only now?

Also, from the article, it appears that they were in two way communication. This is difficult to do while maintaining anonymity. For example, if the messages were routed through a mixmaster remailer, in order to preserve anonymity, there would need to be a delay of many hours between sending and receiving the message. The delay could easily be 48 hours.

Since there would be no round trip with an anonymous email, the cops would have had to either no where to send the reply messages to or establish a public location where replies could be posted. Accessing that public location, if such were used, could be done through an anonymizer or a proxy, but law enforcement would have little trouble obtaining the IP information from the anonymizer service or the proxy (even in foreign countries).

If two way communication were established, they should have a good idea who it is that they were communicating with by now. I seriously doubt that some random member of ELF could pull engage in such a conversation and not be tracked. It is not impossible but it is highly improbable.

That's nice.

I'm waiting for the reports of little green men from Mars coming down to burn the dealership and then taping into the computers and tipping off the FBI to make it seem like Josh and the Regan V's participated in torching the place, all in an effort to distract that part of LA while they introduce mind controlling devices into the citizens of San Gabriel Valley in preparation of the invasion from robotic aliens, no doubt controlled by the CIA, along with rogue cast-offs of the old KGB, financing to be provided through a secretive swap deriviative set up by Enron, with all records to be shredded by Arthur Anderson after a wild night of sex, cocaine, and qualudes in Dick Cheney's underground bunker beneath the Playboy mansion. .

It shouldn't be too far behind.

The Feds' real agenda?

by Sisyphus Friday, Sep. 19, 2003 at 10:24 AM

What people need to consider is the distinct possibility that the FBI never really considered Canolle a suspect in the arson. They could well have been simply using the charge as a ruse to gather information on legal antiwar protesters. The computers and other items taken could provide them with enough contact info to identify scores of us peaceniks for additional surveillence. Anyone with any knowledge of COINTELPRO should recognize this possible explanation.

hehe's fake line of reasoning.

by @ Friday, Sep. 19, 2003 at 10:33 AM

Let's see, as far as we know, Martians don't exist. However, we do know that FBI agents exist.

As far as we know, installable mind control devices do not exist, but FBI agents do.

We also know that the FBI does engage in such activities.

Therefore, the scenario descibed by hehe is completely absurd (and the consequence of his demented mental state) while the other scenaro is entirely possible.

That's a big difference.

Anyone that does not believe in conspiracies has probably never been laid. Think about it.

I have found and copied an admission by a member of MotleyKrew that he shut down hundreds of Islamic websites. MotleyKrew claims to be anti-Israel and pro-Islamic. Please explain that.

While you are at it, please explain the fact that I can now connect police officers, MotleyKrew, KOBE, and the FBI. This is interesting considering the fact that KOBE has issued terrorist threats, solicited the murder of Kissenger, called for killing Congresswoman Cynthia McKenney (on the basis that she is a "nigger cunt"), published fake articles in my name threatening Bush, and on and on...

Now, since I can prove this, I can prove that the FBI engages in set ups against activists.

No paranoia.

by @ Friday, Sep. 19, 2003 at 12:05 PM

I have successfully pulled together all of the emperical evidence necessary to support my claims.

You can try your "paranoia" crap all you want. I've already established relationships with members of the media. I can easily release all of the information I have.

You losers should have picked on someone a lot less bright to screw around with. Given that I was working for the Information Awareness Office, one would think you would have thought, "gee, this guy could figure this thing out." But, of course, that is the defect of law enforcement. They hire semi-retarded dolts and are overwhelmed by their own arrogance. Just as a chimp probably thinks a human is stupid for carrying a cell phone, you make short sighted judgements as well.

To make matters worse, your harassment has only worked against you. For example, if I were still working for the IAO, I would probably never have been free to create the John Poindexter Awareness Office, a tool that drew the attention of the media to the IAO. I would probably be writing software, at this very moment, that would have forwarded your goals. Your harassment operation woke me up to your evil and now I am glad that I am working against you.

As a result of your harassment operation, my readership has increased several thousand percent, I've employed myself producing and distributing anti-Bush material, and I have had the time to uncover your attempt to shut down Internet forums. The whole thing makes sense. Shut down anonymous communications. Force forums and self publishing media to use passwords which require registrations. Registrations require two way communication and two way communication can be monitored.

The cat's out of the bag. Yes, only a few of you are pigs. That's why you use prono on the KOBE site to attract mental defectives for use as free volunteers to carry out your illegal activities.

The most entertaining thing is that you have made the same mistake that all evil enterprises make: you assume that the conditions under which you operate are permanent. What you fail to understand, though the signs are all around you, is that a backlash is growing. Your neo-con fascists will be thrown out of power, the records will be opened, and you will be punished by angry citizens.

I'm enjoying this.

FBI and BUSH FASCISM threatens civil liberties

by doug Wednesday, Sep. 24, 2003 at 8:38 PM
doug@seal-beach.org

Josh Connole was targeted on faulty information, perhaps because he organized peaceful protests against the war.

Despite flaws in their investigation, such as complete falsity and a fantasy rationale, the FBI, ATF and West Covina Police insisted on "controlling" persons and locations broadly unrelated to Josh and even the FBI's phantasmagorical imagination.

Now, to cover up their mistake and the awful intrusion on the lives of innocent bystanders, Sgt. Rudy Gomez of West Covina Police says Josh is "a player" and lied about why the case was dropped (Gomez said they could not get the evidence together in the 40 hours, not mentioning that the D.A. had refused to file the phony pile of crappola they call a case.

Currently, a pall of innuendo and an attribution of guilt hangs over Josh and other peaceful protestors who merely exercised their Constitutional rights. The commentator described by Al Franken as "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot" now has the gall to bring slander and his own mistakes to a national audience.

Common decency demands an apology and a joint declaration that the FBI and its minions made a big mistake. This will go a long way toward making up for their overly broad search warrant, the apparently illegal search and confinement of third parties not mentioned in the warrants, the seemingly illegal confiscation of student computers and other equipment, and the general destruction of the feeling of security that is granted by the Fourth and First Amendments.
