Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHas anyone ever heard of the Turtle Island Liberation Front before now? I tried to google it and all I
got was Reddit stuff. No information on its structure, membership, or founding.
I'm highly suspicious. Read comments from Bondi and Cotton about it being a far left group.

HOW POETRY COMES TO ME
by Gary Snyder
It comes blundering over the
Boulders at night, it stays
Frightened outside the
Range of my campfire
I go to meet it at the
Edge of the light

(34,013 posts)Their FB group was started on Oct 4th. Their oldest instagram post is from July.

None of those arrested are Palestinian or Native Americans. But they engage in pro-Palestinian protests.
Keep in mind they have been arrested for explosives and a potential plot and not "terrorism". Terrorism by the feds is "international terrorism".
Like the John Brown Gun Club and Zizzians, these groups very informal. This group may only exist as a FB page or instagram page. Or they're just a rag tag group formed from another group. Who knows? Their instagram page shows them engaging in protests.
The Turtle Island Liberation Front associates with The Tunnel (Some type of Palestinian resistance, which has a quasi-mission statement) and InTheStreetsLA on Instagram. Which I also assume are rag tag mostly SM entities or concept oriented thing etc.
The Tunnel EDU
Digital creator
Students of the underground classroom.
Teachers of truth.👌
The Tunnel EDU:
Where the lesson is Liberation, and Resistance is the test.
This is The Tunnel EDU.👌
Not a University. Not a brand.
But a Revolutionary Classroom:
Built in the shadows of empire.
Where we study what the powerful forbid:
Revolution, Unity, Amred Resistance and the Anatomy of Control.
Here, we not only name the machines of oppression: capitalism, colonialism & imperialism, surveillance, propaganda;
we learn how to dismantle it piece by piece.
*This is not theory for the bookshelf.
This is the praxis of the frontlines.*
Because knowledge that doesnt liberate is just another form of obedience.
From the streets of Gaza, to the forests of the Congo-From occupied lands, to corporate boardrooms:
the R3s1st_ance is global, and so is our classroom.
We are students of the underground.
Teachers of truth.
Architects of the world that comes next.
Welcome to Tunnel Edu:
Where the lesson is liberation,
and the test is R3s1st_ance

(1,100 posts)The nutty conservatives will claim they're funded by George Soros.
If this group was preparing to bomb corporations, businesses, or anyone else then they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

(15,068 posts)Horseshoe Radicalism, from Nihilists to Leninists, extreme Rightists to extreme Leftists, most of these groups are headed by cynical egos looking to collect lost people searching for something to make them feel more important than everything else.
I don't discount the need to do something positive, however, I do have issue with cults of personality, because those types of organizations really don't care about doing good - they care about being the ones in charge who tell you what doing good is to a granular level. And that ain't much different that what the villains in their world plan.
Except they're the ones with "Liberation" in their name...
