Παρασκευή, 14η Νοεμβρίου 2008 ΟΠΩΣ [[THE]] ΠΑΡΑΤΗΡΗΤΗΣ ΤΡΕΞΙΜΑΤΑ ΕΞΩ ΑΣΤΥΝΟΜΙΑ ΓΡΑΜΜΗ ΠΕΡΑ ΑΠΌ Eco-ΤΡΟΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ
Παρατηρητής προώθησε μια ομοβροντία αυτή η εβδομάδα ενάντια στην περιβαλλοντική μετακίνηση. Headlined;Η αστυνομία προειδοποιεί για την ανάπτυξη της απειλής από τους eco-τρομοκράτες; - handily υπο--διευθυμένος;Ο φόβος της θανάσιμης επίθεσης από την απομονωμένη εκκεντρική παρατήρηση ως ανώτερους υπαλλήλους προειδοποιεί σημαντικές εταιρίες στον κίνδυνο του πράσινου εξτρεμισμού? ? το άρθρο πηγαίνει για να θεωρηθεί αυτό;Οι ανώτεροι υπάλληλοι ανησυχούν για το ότι α; απομονωμένη εκκεντρική παρατήρηση; ο eco-εξτρεμιστής μπορεί να προσπαθήσει μια τρομοκρατική επίθεση που στοχεύει στη δολοφονία των μεγάλων αριθμών Βρετανών.? Φυσικά όχι ένα απόκομμα των στοιχείων αναφέρεται στο αραιά μεταμφιεσμένο ριπή-κομμάτι για την εθνική μονάδα συντονισμού εξτρεμισμού τακτική (NETCU). Οι λέξεις μιας απροσδιόριστος πηγής αστυνομίας είναι όλες που παίρνει για να παραγάγει το φάσμα των άνθρακας-ουδέτερων βομβαρδισμών αυτοκτονίας ερχόμενος σε ένα πόλη-κέντρο κοντά σε σας. Προφανώς,
Το κομμάτι γράφτηκε από έναν Mark Townsend (περιβαλλοντικός δημοσιογράφος του έτους και συμπτωματικά συντάκτης ενός mildy-διασκεδάζοντας τόμου έχοντος το δικαίωμα;Πενήντα τρόποι στο fuck ο πλανήτης;) και η μυστήρια εγκοπή Denning, ποιοι doesn; εργασία τ ακόμη και Παρατηρητής. Όταν SchNEWS ερχόμενο σε επαφή με σημάδι στο γραφείο του, καταρχάς φάνηκε αμυντικός και έγινε όλο και περισσότερο επιθετικός καθώς η συνέντευξη συνεχίστηκε. Πότε ρωτημένος εάν αυτός; το δ αναμάσησε ακριβώς ένα δελτίο τύπου αστυνομίας που είπε;Φοράτε; το τ ξέρει τίποτα περίπου NETCU σύντροφος; φορούν; δελτία τύπου ραβδιών τ ακριβώς έξω?. Όποιος περίεργα δίνεται ότι το σχόλιο μονάδων πολύ δημόσια στην που εργασία κάνουν; ακριβώς ελέγξτε έξω τον ιστοχώρο τους SchNEWS 503). Πιό πρόσφατα φυσικά είχαμε την πολύ κοινοποιημένη ανακάλυψη του α; κρύπτη όπλων; κοντά σε αυτό το έτος; στρατόπεδο κλίματος του s. Καθόσον η πολιτική αστυνομία ανησυχεί τα μέσα είναι ακριβώς ένα άλλο όπλο στην πάλη ενάντια στην εσωτερική ανησυχία; και για την ισορροπία αλήθειας δημοσιογράφος-θυμάτων τους και γεγονός-έλεγχος φορέστε ακριβώς; το τ τον μπαίνει σε. When we asked Mark where the claim that Earth First! advocates the disappearance of 80% of the population had come from he said, ?I don?t know ? they [NETCU] said they had seen them in blogs? ? How?s that for speaking truth to power? So why the sudden appearance of the article? It contains little that could be described as news, just a load of cobbled together wild-eyed speculation. One answer is that concern for NETCU jobs in the face of the credit crunch has triggered a search for a new enemy and a broader remit. How convenient that now the animal rights (AR) movement is in ?disarray?, a new target hovers into view. OFF WITH HIS SUBHEAD Another possible explanation is that the growing movement against climate change has got the state more worried than we realise, and the idea is to spread fear amongst activists that they are being heavily watched. At the moment campaigners are generally regarded in a positive light and public support is absolutely crucial for successful defiance of the state. Just look at how lightly anti-GM activists and peace protestors are treated by the authorities compared to their animal rights counterparts. Perhaps the time has come to drive a wedge between environmental activists and the general public, and of course the best way to do this is with the emotive issue of ?violence?. Are we observing the beginning of a smear campaign? So far it?s AR that has felt the full weight of state-orchestrated demonisation. Despite the fact that the movement has never been responsible for a single death they are routinely described as ?terrorists? or ?extremists?. A political climate has been created which enables the state to crack down hard. New criminal offences are drafted targeting the movement and people are imprisoned simply for organising demos (Sean Kirtley ? see SchNEWS 634). The SOCPA legislation (sec 145) banning demos aimed at disrupting ?contractual obligations? currently only protects ?animal research? organisations. A who?s who of UK media organisations have lined up to take a pop at the AR movement ? Dispatches, Panorama and all the main papers have parroted the police line that AR is full of dangerous violent fanatics with an irrational belief system. High profile waves of arrests make the front page, so do the convictions, but news of acquittals languish in the back pages. The actual cause that the AR movement is fighting for receives virtually no media examination. The industrial-scale use of animals for food and vivisection is one of the great hidden evils of our lifestyle ? rather than confront that, it?s obviously best to throw those that confront it into prison. The opening of the new Oxford animal lab, albeit two years late and millions over budget, is now being hailed as a victory by vivisectionists. Of course the very fact that they were able to achieve this much is because of a huge mobilisation on the part of the state. Back in SchNEWS 590 we described how Thames Valley Police accidentally taped themselves saying that they were ?going to wage a dirty war? against SPEAK, with one commander adding that, ?We?re going to prosecute the shit out of them.? Publicity surrounding the tape didn?t prevent the arrest and prosecution of Mel Broughton, a prominent spokesperson for the campaign (see SchNEWS 616). Last week he was acquitted of possessing an explosive substance ? packets of sparklers ? with intent. Two other charges led to hung jury. Despite this, the prosecution demanded a re-trial and Mel was remanded in prison with a trial date to be fixed ?some time next year?. NETCUs attempts to take ?ringleaders? of the AR off the streets by fair means or foul continues. We don?t know what agenda Townsend?s actually working to but it?s been clear for a while that the police want an increased ability to deal with all forms of dissent. Public demonisation is a key plank in the strategy. We?ll leave the last words to John Curtin, long term AR campaigner: ?We used to be regarded as Robin Hood figures for what we did ? rescuing animals from a life of torture in laboratories ? and now we?re terrorists ? the same people doing the same things.?
