 Nichols-Dezenhall set up a website called StopEcoViolence - very much along the lines of CFFAR's vandalwatch.org - which claimed to be the grassroots' initiative of a citizens' group. On its links page it lists CFFAR and Vandalwatch.org, as well as the Internet front sites of PR firm [[Berman & Co]].  [[Activistcash.com]] and the [[Center for Consumer Freedom]]. The page also has links to CDFE, which it describes as 'a non-partisan education and research organization', and to the [[Competitive Enterprise Institute]] (CEI). In March 2002 Nichols Dezenhall linked up with CEI to sponsor a conference for journalists and corporate executives on 'eco-extremism'. (You too might be a terrorist. The war on the greens){{ref|1}}.

 A book published by the [[Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise]] (CDFE)'s Free Enterprise Press, "Rules for Corporate Warriors: How to fight and survive attack group shakedowns" was written by [[Nick Nichols]] and edited by [[Paul Driessen]].  Dezenhall's approach to PR is that of CDFE. In a leaked presentation to pork-producers he quoted Al Capone, 'You can get more with a smile, a kind word and a gun than with a smile and a kind word', and [[George Carlin]], 'If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten!' Nicholls advised the pork-producers they should, 'Fight like guerillas' and 'Take no prisoners'.
-With the assistance of corporations, PR firms and various right-wing groups, [[Wise Use]] tactics and rhetoric have spread around the globe. As early as 1986, the chemical industry sponsored a tour of New Zealand by [[Ron Arnold]]. Wise Use groups have sprung up in Australia sporting bumper stickers such as, 'Fertilize the forest, kill a greenie!'

 The Wise Use perspective has been strongly promoted in the UK by the [[Living Marxism]] (LM) network, which like [[Lyndon LaRouche]] back-flipped from extreme left to extreme right. Wise Users were significant contributors to the LM-connected Channel 4 TV series Against Nature , in which environmentalists were portrayed as Nazis and the bringers of death and suffering to the Third World.

 [[Ron Arnold]] was also among the contributors to LM magazine, penning an article in the March, 1998 issue. According to the article, 'the anti-technology Unabomber who terrorised the USA for two decades, killing 3 and injuring 29 others' took his cue from the anti-technology philosophy of environmentalism which was operating like a self-consuming sickness at the heart of American society. According to the [[LM]] archive: '[[Ron Arnold]], author of "Ecoterror: The violent agenda to save Nature", suggests that society today suffers from a "Unabomber syndrome" - it "seems willing to entertain the notion of abolishing civilisation"...'. A picture caption for Arnold's article read, 'For Unabomber Ted Kaczynski environmentalism was the theory and assassination the practice'.

 CFFAR and Smetacek then used the concerns generated by their smears against organisations like Greenpeace to encourage scientists and others to lobby those organisations' funders to stop their financial backing. It is a tactic that comes straight out of the CDFE 'handbook'. To quote Arnold, 'We want to destroy environmentalists by taking away their money and their members.'  (New York Times, Dec 19, 1991, emphasis added)
