early Earth First -mid 70s

from the top 5 of my Steven Hager favorites:
After getting his training in social revolution from the Zippies who inherited the Yippie leadership after Abbie Hoffman disappeared, Mike Roselle would go on to found Earth First and the Rukus Society. I believe Mike is an honest actor although he does not realize the environmental movement has largely been run as managed opposition. Earth First was obviously not managed which is why the FBI sent in the hit squads on the leaders. But Mike not realizing AJ going through Bob Dylan's garbage to draw attention to himself is not the same as going through Exxon's garbage. In fact, it's the opposite. AJ has spent his lifetime pissing on Dylan. He misdirected people on the JFK assassination. He believes the 9/11 Commission and gets mad if presented with real facts. He ran all his money through the Netherlands and tried to emigrate to Israel after he lost his empire, but couldn't take the theocracy. Recorded by Sarah Ferguson, soundtrack by the new Seeds of Doubt.

Free Mike Roselle From Jail … Free Appalachia From Mountaintop Removal
Nov 30, 2013 6:21AM EST
Nearly four years ago, long-time environmental activist and Kentucky-native Mike Roselle sat in the Southern Regional Jail in Beaver, West Virginia, with one simple message: Mountaintop removal mining, the most egregious human rights and environmental violation tolerated in our nation, must be abolished, not regulated.
