Facist infestation on facebook

In solidarity with Smash EDO | 28.04.2011 09:56 | Smash EDO | Animal Liberation | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | South Coast

English National Alliance attempt to infiltrate animal rights movement.

Some rather nasty comments were sprouting from the keyboard of one Lyn Corrigan on facebook concerning gypsies, migrants and above all..Muslims on the walls of AR activists. At one stage her profile pic was a cockroach with "Islam" written on it...nice. On further investigation it was discovered that she is engaged to Bill Baker and that the 2 of them set up the English National Alliance. He has written a lovely little story about how his thugs "infiltrated" Smash EDO whilst his "car broke down" at Pease Pottage (not far from Brighton you would have thought he would have got a taxi to assist his chums but never mind) under some title about dealing with "domestic extremists" and passing on information to the police.
We were told that because we support Smash EDO that we are traitors and scum by Corrigan and Baker has already promised to "visit" a young activist who was helping to expose the inept duo. So please be careful FB is a nightmare and major security risk in itself but this is a reminder that facists are keen to get in and stir things up. Corrigan we found was FB freinds with scores of AR activists and mutual friends with hundreds, Bill was also friends with a few.
There also seem to be links between these 2 Combat 18 and Redwatch so major security threat avoid like plague and if you are on FB get REALLY security concious.

Possibly an "infiltration"

Perhaps even likely.

But we would need more information to be sure. Although this might seem strange to many of us it is quite possible for fascists to be sincerely AR. Concern for human rights and concern for (other) animals are orthogonal concerns.

Look up the "ecosocialists" if you want to see the case made that both AR folks and "deep green" folks are POTENTIALLY fascists.It's their argument (which I personally do not "buy") against "ungrounded" environmentalism and "animal rights".

FB is pretty suicidal. However many activists use it. One of the main points of this post is to reinterate the fact that FB is very dangerous and we need to work out how and indeed IF we use it. Everyone should probably cancel their accounts. Debate which should be had asap.

Re the ENA. Bill Baker has boasted online about trying to violently sabotage Smash EDO (somewhat unsuccessfully) and pass info on to the police. These people are not welcome in AR, their activities are the antithesis of animal liberation and Baker and Corrigan pass info on to the police about activists. People need a bit more warning about them.

It is possible for people to genuinely care about animals and be racist. It is not however possible for them to be animal rights and racist. Discrimination on the basis of species membership is clearly excluded by the principles of animal rights and humans are a species of animal. Racism is also speciesism, speciesism is not AR.
