On April 24, in an over-the-top move by the ISP, two activists were arrested in what is obviously the culmination of years of surveillance., harassme-nt, and,repression (see EF!J · September-October) ;Tiga and Hugh, two longtime Indiana residents, are each being charged with two counts of in~dation (misdemeanors), two counts of conversion (i.e. theft, misdemeanors) and one count of corrupt business influence (i.e. racketeering, a class C felony). If convicted, they would each face 12.years in prison. Tiga was arrested on th·e morning of April 24,following a court dat~ in Evansville, Indiana, ·for a prior anti-I-69 action this last Summer. A few hours later, the car Hugh was traveling in pulled off at an ice-cream stand just north of Indianapolis. Minutes later, he was arrested by a plainclothes US Miushall, tazer drawn, in front of families and cliildren enjoying their ice cream. Both were interrogated by Feds and/or the ISP, including the -fi'er-do-well Brad Chan~ dler, a recurring character in our saga who's employed full-tim~ to harass activists. While felonies and jail time aren't anything to snicker at, it's hard not ·t o snicker when one looks into the nature ·of the charges. The main felony of racketeering stems from an antiquated mob-era charge; part of Indiana's version of the federal Rad<eteering Irifluenc~ Corrupt Business Act. This law: was enacted-to suppress "organized crime," and the current-cha.rges claim that Tiga __ and Hugh are known to be "leaders of the criminal enterprise Roadblock Earth First!, and that they "conspired to commit an.office eviCtion, treesits, lockdoWI_ls, threatening blog posfings and meeting disruptions." The misdemeanor charges are in reference to a st~ged "eviction" of two 1-69 planning offices in July 2Q07.

Action "Developing" in the First Wotld, Too! . On a dark night in late April, the ALF liberated several lambs · from captivity in an animal breeding farm amidst piles of dead and rotting lamb bodies and forcibly inseminated mothers, trapped in narrow · pens no wider · than their bodies. On May 6, a young piglet was liberated from an intensive farm, and, two . days later, the ALF totally destroyed a pheasant pen and a birdcage belonging to a shooting estate in · the UK. That same day, Aussie ALPers glued locks and painted slogans· on the walls of Ralph's Meat Exporters in Melbourne, Austraha. More recently, ALF activists left messages . on . the garage door, sidewalk and street of the _furrirer, Michel Graina, in Bordeaux, France. The messages read, Grama=furrier=murderer" ALF hasn't forgotten you/ ' , and Grama,. fur~ier, murderer at .number 16," re,spectively. Meanwhile, in. Finlan_d,• during the months of April and May, activists attacked two furshops and two · furQ.iture companies with. paint bombs and .hammers. (These furniture companies use feathers ripped from living birds, and have become subject to attack since a televised expose.) • I 11 11 11 .- '! : t Californians Get Down Unfortunately, it wasn't out, of his·wl:rl.dow, butth~ nusband of notorious primate vivisector, Edythe London,. }'Vas ,t~~porar- il;Y:: eVi£tep ;ip-;late A:ei:il _:~~rin~- _ ,...r,,r..-.rn~ "':: an emergetrcy resp<;>ns ~ to -fa e ;ilftiA·nt~er-ika '' '6ombs delivered by the ALF to his Los Angeles high-rise building.- London was -exposed for a!=cepting b:fi!Jes froll)-, -l h.illip Morris w}lile addicting primates to. nicotine, ·ainphetamines,'and other drugs before killing them, but has not been met with legal accountability. .

To successfully use ~pectacles to com:r;nunicate our message, we required the media·to getour message across. Sections ot the anti-roads movement and the alter-globalization movement in the UK had their fingers burnt by the mainstream media's neg- . ative portrayal of their activities that undermined those move'ments over fu:rie. As a result, excellent alternative media has been developed ·as a necessary way of breaking the control of . the ·mainstream media.
