Corporations That Are Targeting Individuals Listed in New Report!

Saturday, November 23, 2013 9:07

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Spooky Business, a 53-page report released this week, comprising nearly 20 years of information exposing a hidden wing of the private sector that is targeting individuals is what author Gary Ruskin says “is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Targeted Individuals range from anti-war to workers’ rights groups to environmental organizations. Most of them, however, appear to have one commonality: they are a perceived threat to the corporate bottom-line.

“The key finding of the report is that corporations are conducting espionage against nonprofit organizations,” said Ruskin in an interview with Common Dreams. “This is entirely veiled in secrecy and is a threat to an active citizenry, democracy, and the right to privacy.”

The secret includes targeting individuals – far more individuals than only those in non-profit organizations.

For years, Targeted Individuals have given accounts of being targeted following their revealing coroporare crimes. many have suspected corporate assets spying and persecuting them. This week, Common Dreams lists only a handfull of those corporations, based on the report, Spooky Business, Corporate Espionage Against Non-Profit Organizations:

Case studies in Spooky Business provide snapshots of what Common Dreams calls “corporate espionage”:

Throughout the 1990s, Greenpeace organized a campaign against chlorine use in the manufacturing of paper. In response, Dow hired private firms that dug through Greenpeace’s trash and recycling to access internal documents; posed as volunteers to spy on the office; conducted wiretap surveillance of the Greenpeace office; and stole confidential information from the organization.

In 2010, journalist Mary Cuddehe revealed that the private investigative firm Kroll had attempted to recruit her to pose as a journalist while actually spying for Chevron in Ecuador. At the time, the massive oil company was fighting a multi-billion dollar fine for an oil spill around oil around Lago Agrio, Ecuador.

In 2006, Walmart sent an employee to infiltrate and secretly wire a meeting of Up Against the Wal in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

In 2011, French utility Électricité de France was charged $2 million for hacking into the computer network of the French Greenpeace chapter.

“Many things can be done to protect nonprofits from corporate espionage. Congress should investigate and hold hearings on corporate espionage against nonprofits,” the report reads. “Congress and state legislatures should enact legislation to criminalize the theft of confidential, noneconomic information held by their critics. Law enforcement – especially the U.S. Department of Justice – should prioritize investigating and prosecuting corporate espionage against nonprofits.”

Targeted Individuals have issued many please to Congress to stop the abuse they experience daily. This abuse is so lethal, some call it terminal no-touch-torture.

Instead, however, Congress, including the House on Intelligence Committee, are moving to pass a bill giving the Federal Gestapo – including its private corporate assets – more authority to conduct President Barack Obama’s targeted killings.
