The FBI Spies On Animal Activists & Wants Them Treated As Terrorists To Protect Capitalism Profits.... Today I talk to you about, The UNSOLVED True Crime Case Daily Stories Of This Animal Agriculture Industry, I talk about, How the Farm Industry Spied on Animal Rights Activists and Pushed the FBI to Treat Them as Bioterrorists to protect Capitalism interests, Hundreds of emails and internal documents reviewed by WIRED reveal top lobbyists and representatives of America’s agricultural industry led a persistent and often covert campaign to surveil, discredit, and suppress animal rights organizations for nearly a decade, while relying on corporate spies to infiltrate meetings and functionally serve as an informant for the FBI, The documents, mostly obtained through public records requests by the nonprofit Property of the People, detail a secretive and long-running collaboration between the FBI’s (WMDD) and the Animal Agriculture Alliance (AAA), a nonprofit trade group representing the interests of US farmers, ranchers, veterinarians, and others across America’s food supply chain, Since at least 2018, documents show, the AAA has been supplying federal agents with intelligence on the activities of animal rights groups such as Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), with records of emails and meetings reflecting the industry’s broader mission to convince authorities that activists are the preeminent “bioterrorism” threat to the United States. 

Spies working for the AAA during its collaboration with the FBI went undercover at activism meetings, obtaining photographs, audio recordings, and other strategic material. The group’s ties with law enforcement were leveraged to help shield industry actors from public scrutiny, to press for investigations into its most powerful critics, and to reframe the purpose and efforts of animal rights protesters as a singular national security threat, The records further show that state authorities have cited protests as a reason to conceal information about outbreaks at factory farms from the public. Zoe Rosenberg, a UC Berkeley student faces several felony charges, including burglary and theft, for taking and rescuing 4 chickens from Petaluma Poultry and getting them the vet care they needed and put in a animal sanctuary. Petaluma Poultry is owned by Purdue Farms. If convicted, Rosenberg faces up to 5 and a half years in prison, Petaluma Poultry and its contractors have been accused of true crime cases on a number of occasions, the USDA estimates that every year, around 825,000 chickens are boiled alive for food, She cites the doctrine of necessity, a legal theory holding that it’s sometimes permissible to break a law if doing so prevents even greater harm from occurring.  

The rep suggested calling on law enforcement to deploy “terrorism” charges instead—as one national pork producer had reportedly considered. The AAA had already “been in contact with the FBI about this situation,” the notes claim. Records show that in the spring of 2019, the AAA moved to establish a firmer connection with the FBI. The FBI highlighted two instances in which it claimed there was “no evidence” of activists following proper protocols.” , Analysts at the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC), a multi-agency hub that supports law enforcement, soon threw cold water on the FBI’s claims. “Animal rights activists are probably not responsible for any of the identified vND incidents” in the state, the NCRIC said less than four months later, citing federal scientific research, records first obtained by the transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets show. The agency further noted that despite law enforcement’s claims that DxE “almost certainly” violated biosecurity protocols, police reports showed activists had taken “biosecurity precautions to prevent contamination or spread of it.” Ryan Shapiro, executive director at Property of the People, says the hundreds of records amassed by his organization offer an unprecedented look at how Big Ag lobbyists allegedly vied to conceal incidents of animal cruelty According to the memo, the FBI was in the process of supplying the AAA with a list of WMDD coordinators with whom members were encouraged to share knowledge about activists, Preventing animal rights activists from learning about outbreaks has at times taken priority over notifying the public about them, ETC!!!
