In this issue of Earth First! Journal Leslie Hemstreet contributes her thoughts on paranoia, David Hogan discusses the bird Cactus Wren and the Endangered Species Act, and George Wuerthner sheds light on the negative effects of fire suppression on ecosystems.

As I sit reading allegedly confidential documents […] the words of an old friend run through my mind, “Ah, that can’t be real. They don’t release anything good unless it’s years after the fact or all the good parts were deleted with black marker.” Good point. But wait, what if my friend is really the spy and he’s just saying that to cover his true identity?
