Burning Crosses
In this movie, you can see a member of the "Anti-Terror Info Camp" retrieving three crosses that they left beside the Forest Rescue Station - then returning to his camp, where the crosses are set alight and burned. Strange behaviour!

Gee, don't they realise that this sort of bizarre behaviour only serves to attract negative publicity?

Still, perhaps that can only help, in some ironic way, to foster Greepeace's cause?

After all, when the public see what strange fellows you're up against and the tactics they employ to try and get their point across, they can only feel a greater sympathy with your mission as a result, no?

Unfortunately, my internet connection is not fast enough for 3-6 MB (56 k modem...).

But, lucky as I am, I had the chance to see those loggers in reality when I was in the camp. Their infantile and useless behaviour, however, is not only quite annoying, but also funny enough to laugh about them at the same time.

And they cannot chase us away. In the long run, they will realise that it is their employer, state-owned Metsähallitus, that sucks when refusing to take responsibility for its employees. For sooner or later there wouldn't be any tree left anyway.

I got a one question for you, fools. Where do you get all the money to your operations? I think, from _real_ friends of nature. But they do not how stupid ways you guys spend it. Get a life and get out of northern Finland, there has never been any kind of conflict before greenterror started to use innocent origin people of northern Finland to their selfish purposes. Shame on you, true nature's enemies.
