The murderers of Earth have names and addresses. They are on the wrong side of history... on the wrong side of the war. This conflict does not fit easily into any environmental NGOâs marketing campaign. This is an uncontrollable insurrection for survival,
subsistence, dignity and freedom. A struggle against the boundless horrors and humiliations of industrialization and commodification, of which Teal Jones is just one especially disgusting example. This is a call from your friends in the woods... calling all forest ninja crews, lone wolves, wild cats and raccoons...Keepinâ up with the Joneses...
- Teal-Jones is the largest privately held forest products company on the BC coast, wholly owned by CEO Tom Jones and his brother COO Dick Jones (pictured). They are sons of Jack Jones who founded the company in 1946. They proudly trace their settler history to their great-great-grandfather, who began his logging career in the colony of BC in the 1860s. Tomâs wife Holly, his daughter April Choquette, and son Chad also work for the company, as do Dickâs daughters and sons Shelley Schmidt, John Gardner, Alan and Mandy Jones.
- Some other parasites running this death squad include: Hanif Karmally (VP & CFO), Mark Carter (Operations Planner), John Burch (VP
sales/marketing)
- Estimated annual revenue: $57.5 million
- The head office and milling operations are located between the Fraser River and Triggs Road in North Surrey, at the eastern terminus of the recently constructed Hwy 17/SFPR (part of the Pacific Gateway highway and port expansion megaprojects)

- Late July 2016: Hundreds of people gather at Kaxi:ks (Big River) for a Convergence at the bridge over the river in the Heart of the Walbran (pictured below). This marks 25 years since the last major battle to defend this sacred place, and renews fighting spirits for the coming conflict. Pacheedaht elder Bill Jones and the family of deceased Pacheedaht warrior Harriet Nahanee are there to dedicate a new trail into one of the proposed cutblocks.The MC opens the event by boldly stating that anarchists were instrumental in kicking off resistance in 1991 and that indigenous people and settlers working together have the power to defeat Teal Jones.
- Summer 2016 sees a steady increase in visitors to the valley, banner drops in various locations, and strategizing for future confrontation with the enemy. To date one of the cutblocks in the Heart of the Walbran has been approved, so the threat of devastation is very real.
- Late 2015/Early 2016: A permanent camp is established in the Heart of the Walbran. At least one person is arrested for violating a court injunction granting Teal Jones a buffer zone around nearby logging (the injunction has since expired). Blockaders also temporarily prevent the logging trucks from unloading at Teal Jonesâ Duke Point Log Sort in Nanaimo. â Late 2014: News breaks that Teal Jones has applied for large clearcuts throughout the Central Walbran ancient forest. Above: recent clearcutting by Teal Jones near the Heart of the Walbran. Like pretty much all scum sucking capitalists these days, Teal Jones claims to be âenvironmentally responsibleâ and fully in compliance with the governmentâs hollowed out, bullshit environmental regulations, a farce which only serves to legitimize genocide and give it a friendlier face. We wonât insult anyoneâs intelligence or waste time picking apart the multitude of blatant lies in these pathetic attempts to market âsustainable loggingâ. A picture is worth 1,000 words.
Below: Central Walbran Ancient Forest, home to species at risk including marbled murrelets, Queen Charlotte goshawks, red-legged frogs, Vauxâs swifts, and Keenâs long-eared myotis, as well as cougars, wolves, black bears, elk, black-tailed deer, steelhead, and coho salmon. This valley has been lovingly cared for by generations of people, and for such a wild and grandiose place, it has a warm and inviting charm... and a feeling of having been inhabited and cherished. A place where one can do just about anything they could desire such as camp communally, dip in emerald swimming holes, wander breathtaking trails, hunt for karst caves, or just hide away somewhere in the vastness of it all. Resignation is death. Resistance is life. The secret is to really begin...

Nov 30: Elaho Earth First! Claim sabotage to generator; generator not working and believed to be tampering (material put into crankcase)
</play>
CommuniquĂŠ from the Lorax: Wed. Feb. 16, 2000: The Lorax today took responsibility for spiking hundreds of ancient trees in the Elaho Valley, in areas approved for clear-cut logging this year. The purpose of the tree spiking is to protect grizzly bear habitat and to deter International Forest Products from clear-cutting this ancient coastal rainforest, located on Native land northwest of Whistler, BC. Hundreds of black bears and a small number of grizzlies inhabit the rugged mountains and canyons near the Elaho River. No one is likely to be injured as a result of the spikes. If Interfor decides to carry out its clear-cut plans, workers will have to find the spikes with metal detectors and remove them by hand. Most sawmills screen logs for foreign objects that may damage the saw. The Lorax encourages wood buyers worldwide to boycott InterFor. The company is destroying a unique cedar, hemlock and Douglas fir forest that is thousands of years old, without regard for wildlife, water quality or Native land claims. The Elaho River area is the southernmost remnant of grizzly bear habitat on the west coast of North America. Five and ten-inch spikes were driven into trees north of Mile 63 on the Elaho main and Elaho main West logging roads. An area north of Cessna Creek, and proposed roadways, were spiked along with the following cut blocks: 101â9, 101â52, 101-52A, 102-52B, 102â54, 102â55.
The Monkey Wrench gang Claims Sabotage in the Elaho Valley: An underground group known only as the Monkey Wrench Gang is claiming a recent act of sabotage in the Elaho Valley. George Hayduke, the groupâs media liaison, says the gang recently crippled a giant generator owned by International Forest Products by pouring abrasives into the machines crankcase while it was running. âSabotage is easyâ, says Hayduke, âall you need is determination and a little gritâ. Interfor, a Vancouver based corporation, holds the permit to log the upper Elaho Valley, an area of untouched ancient forest that includes the rare Elaho Giants, some of the oldest Douglas Firs in the world. The embattled logging company has provoked blockades, tree-spiking and worldwide boycotts because of its destructive practices. âLets be clear about one thing, we are not the âpeaceful protestersââ, Hayduke says, âstanding on logging roads, climbing trees and waving signs is great. But this game is for keeps. Weâre not going to hurt anyone, but weâre going to stop those goddamn machinesâ. To the best of our knowledge, no one was caught or arrested for any of the acts of sabotage listed here!
