Green Scared?
Some Lessons from the #FBI Crackdown on #EcoActivists
2023, via @CrimethInc"For years, the FBI targeted ecological #activists as their #1 priority. This is one of the chief reasons environmental devastation has continued unchecked.
"At the end of 2005, the FBI opened a new phase of its assault on earth and animal liberation movements—known as the #GreenScare—with the arrests and indictments of a large number of activists. This offensive, which they dubbed Operation Backfire, was intended to obtain convictions for many of the unsolved #EarthLiberationFront arsons of the preceding ten years—but more so, to have a chilling effect on all ecological #DirectAction.
"In this analysis, originally published in Rolling Thunder in 2008, we review everything we can learn from the Operation Backfire cases, with the intention of passing on the lessons for the next generation of #environmental activists.

Deconstructing “eco-terrorism”
rhetoric, framing and statecraft as seen through the Insight approach
... Asymmetric labelling is a powerful and impactful aspect of statecraft. It not only serves to justify and legitimate violence, but it also functions to inform the wider society as to how they are meant to interpret social movements, their political objections, and their revolutionary projections within the political imaginary. The difference between labelling a movement “extremist”, “terrorist”, “revolutionary”, “supremacist”, or “reformist” serves to inform the public, buttress State policy, and effect movement participation through selfpolicing. The animal and earth liberation movements, as represented by the ALF and ELF, are targeted with the violence of State rhetoric as they challenge core tenants of hegemonic control. Through the strategy of direct action (i.e., vandalism and economic sabotage), these movements are able to challenge proscribed methods of political protest in terms of both tactics and strategy. Through these methods, these movements function to challenge the State’s monopoly on violence (and the labelling of violence), as well as subtler ideological stalwarts such as speciesism, anthropocentrism and the commodification of animal and plant life for commerce.
As a result, the State has chosen to not only silence these movements through traditional legislative, judicial and policing methods, they have also used the rhetoric of terrorism to mark these movements for the crime of not abiding by the social contract establishing appropriate protest. Due to the nature of such a framing occurring largely in the venue of rhetoric, discourse and State voice, the Insight approach has great utility in not only diagramming the creation of the conflict narrative, but also for identifying sites of disruption along the linearity of threat construction. The contributions of the Insight approach to this analysis of “eco-terrorism” are key in illustrating the schema of the State’s constructed threat narrative. By viewing the State as a permeable collective of individuals we are reminded that juridical action, like an individual’s socialisation, is informed by previous experiences with violence as well as safety, fear as well as tranquility.
This case study was meant to push the boundaries of an appropriate subject for treatment via the Insight approach, as an analysis of statecraft functions uniquely to other personal, interpersonal, social and super-structural processes. The Insight approach advances terrorism studies through the application of a traditional peace and conflict lens that aims at understanding and interpreting. Thus, by not limiting Insight to individual-level mediations (e.g., marital dispute, work place negotiations) the methodology of narrative and cognitive analysis is tasked with a much larger subject: the enormity of the State. The preceding case study adopts a conflict resolution tool in the interpretation of both terrorism (e.g., ALF, ELF) and counterterrorism (e.g., AETA, “ag gag”, Green Scare), and in this sense, allows the minuteness of the human experience to be examined in light of the vastness of the socio-political matrix. Far too often, terrorism studies becomes mired within the myopic trap of counterterrorism and the questions become limited to: “How can we prevent, mediate, or react to terrorism while preserving life and property?” Peace and conflict studies aims to achieve a more laudable goal, as the protection of life and property must be accompanied with the presence of justice, representation and dignity, not simply the absence of injustice, authoritarianism and humiliation. This can only be achieved through an understanding of violence beyond simply its prevention. If we are to transform conflicts and violent non-State actors, one needs to interrogate terrorism studies with a peace and conflict agenda, and it is with tools such as Insight, that these types of inter-disciplinary challenges can be advanced.
Contained in the preceding discussion of the Animal Liberation Front and associated, clandestine animal advocates, is the proposition that a multidepartmental, nationwide entity like a State, can be explained in terms of perceived threats and constructed narratives in the same way one could explain an individual’s psychology. Like any individual, the State is constantly constrained by the limits of its horizon, the borders of its common sense, and the embedded nature of its bias. It is constantly allowing “bias [to] creep into one’s outlook ... ideology into one’s thought” (Lonergan 2004, 18). When interpreting acts of political violence by animal liberationists, the State recalls successful social movements of the past and the challenges they offered to its monopoly on violence and its position as the sole legitimator of force. The State recalls the millions of dollars lost on destroyed property and missed revenues, and it remembers its intended role as the protector of property rights. When a window is broken, a slaughterhouse burned, or a factory farm exposed, the State immediately imagines a constructed future where protestors reign; where private property is not sacred, and activists’ force ceases to be labelled as violence. Like a frightened person nervously reaching for mace when faced with a hooded stranger on an unlit street, when the State conjures up this image, it strikes pre-emptively, and in its own self-defence.

Will Potter on How the State and the Media Go After Radical Movements
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2MPVWHbhyw&ab_channel=GreenandRedPodcast
We’re in an unprecedented rollback of #CivilLiberties. States are passing laws to #OutlawProtests and #DirectAction, charging non-violent protesters with “#DomesticTerrorism” and #legalizing the #RunningOver of people blocking traffic. #StateSurveillance of activists has increased dramatically. Police budgets are getting astronomical increases to further militarize the state. In Atlanta, in the #StopCopCity campaign, police #assassinated a #ForestDefender, #Tortuguita, who had their hands up and then tried to claim self-defense.
To put this all in context, we talk with investigative journalist and author Will Potter (@will_potter). We discuss the #StopHuntington #AnimalCruelty campaign, the #EarthLiberationFront, the taming down of climate actions in the 2010s and how the police state ignored right wing terror groups in the same period.
We also discuss the role of the #FBI and the liberal #CorporateMedia in going after radical movements, how Cop City is shifting things and where popular culture fits into the story.

Environmental activist Joseph Dibee will avoid additional prison time for late-90s arsons carried out under the banner of the #EarthLiberationFront and #AnimalLiberationFront. His story is pretty amazing! 1/10
