Corporate Spooks:

Private Security Contractors

Infiltrate Social Justice

Organizations

Spies might miss the Cold War, but they’re getting plenty of work tracking activists

January-February 2009

by Paul Demko

Corporate Spies

Cara Schaffer just wanted to improve the lives of vegetable pickers in the fields of south Florida. In March the idealistic college student signed up to volunteer for the Student/Farmworker Alliance, a group that works closely with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to fight for better wages.Schaffer’s fellow activists, however, quickly became suspicious of the new recruit’s excessive enthusiasm, particularly her keen desire to take part in national conference calls that plotted strategy. So they punched her name into an Internet search engine and discovered that Schaffer wasn’t a college student at all. She was the owner of Diplomatic Tactical Services, a private security and espionage firm based in Jupiter, Florida.

Schaffer’s firm had been hired by Burger King, which was locked in a dispute with the coalition over tomato pickers’ wages. In the aftermath of her outing as a corporate mole, two of the burger empire’s executives were fired and the company agreed to meet the workers’ demands.

While activists easily sussed out Schaffer’s rather buffoonish infiltration attempt, highly professional corporate espionage has become a galling reality for many activist groups. In the wake of the Cold War, former spies from the CIA, FBI, Britain’s MI5 and MI6—even the KGB—are increasingly plying their dark arts for private firms with cinematically sinister names such as Diligence, Control Risks, and Kroll.

“The big change in recent years has been the huge growth in these companies,” Annie Machon, a former MI5 agent, told the London-based New Statesman (Aug. 11, 2008). “Where before it was a handful of private detective agencies, now there are hundreds of multinational security organizations, which operate with less regulation than the spooks themselves.”

Perhaps the most disturbing entry in the lucrative corporate espionage field is the private-military firm Blackwater Worldwide (best known for gunning down 17 civilians in Baghdad’s Nisour Square in 2007). Led by J. Cofer Black, who spent 28 years working for the CIA, Blackwater launched the Orwellian-named Total Intelligence Solutions in February 2007. The firm is stacked with former high-ranking officials from the FBI and the U.S. State Department, promising clients around the globe, including foreign governments, unprecedented access to power brokers in Washington. “It is not difficult to imagine clients feeling as though they are essentially hiring the U.S. government to serve their own interests,” the Nation reports (June 23, 2008).

While spying on idealistic do-gooders is undoubtedly a minuscule portion of these firms’ activities, businesses have sometimes taken elaborate steps to acquire the inside dope on protest plans, acts of civil disobedience, and lobbying agendas. This fixation suggests that the regrettably groomed rabble demonstrating outside your local weapons-manufacturing plant might actually be causing some anxiety in corporate boardrooms.

Activists also attract the attention of corporate spies for a less flattering reason, says John Stauber, founder of the watchdog group the Center for Media and Democracy and its magazine, PR Watch. “Any firm involved in corporate espionage is more than happy to take on the job of spying on activist organizations because, frankly, they see it as easy pickings.” RELATED CONTENT Live and Let Spy? Not for a handful of Republicans taking issue with Bush’s domestic surveillance program… Meet The Corporation It has no conscience. It’s pathological. And it’s in your neighborhood…. Police Spying 101 Police Spying 101… Stopping Corporate Interference in Local Government Stopping Corporate Interference in Local Government January 13, 2003 Issue By Erica Sagrans, Utne…. Corporate Blind-Eye to King Holiday Corporate Blind-Eye to King Holiday January 12, 2001 Leif Utne Corporate Blind-Eye to King… Often operating on shoestring budgets, and dependent on the benevolence of average citizens, few advocacy groups have the time or the inclination to conduct background checks on the volunteers who show up at their door. “Until somebody screws up in some way or ends up in a lawsuit, it’s very difficult to document these activities,” says Stauber. That’s what happened in early 2008, when a nasty business dispute brought to light one brazen tale of espionage. Becket Brown International (BBI) was started by former Secret Service officers in 1995.

After the company’s primary investor, John C. Dodd III, had a falling out with his business partners he began contacting activist groups that the firm was spying on. Among BBI’s targets: environmentalists in Louisiana and elder-care activists in Maryland. The most audacious case in the BBI files focused on antigun organizations. Starting in the mid-’90s, Mary McFate became a prominent activist within the gun-control movement. She sat on the boards of various organizations, including Philadelphia-based CeaseFire PA and the Freedom States Alliance in Chicago, and lobbied for violence-prevention legislation in Washington. Her volunteer activities came to an abrupt halt in 2008 when Dodd’s tips helped Mother Jones (July 30, 2008) expose Mary McFate as Mary Lou Sapone, a corporate spy on hire for BBI. Among BBI’s illustrious clients: the National Rifle Association. The gun-control groups were taken aback by the revelation. “She had access to all the legislative strategy for every major issue for years,” said Kristen Rand, legislative director of the Violence Policy Center. Not everyone, though, viewed McFate-Sapone’s infiltration as an ominous development. “I actually think she helped the movement rather than hurt the movement through all her volunteer efforts,” Ona Hamilton, a founder of CeaseFire PA, told the Philadelphia Inquirer (Aug. 1, 2008). “I just don’t see what she could have gained in terms of damaging information.”

Let’s Begin the New Year by giving more than ever before…

Brothers and Sisters,

Citizen Soul Power begins it’s third year by saying farewell to our friend the Shiva Shakti Sun Symbol which served us beautifully over the previous year.

With it we hope to see our Citizen Soul Power site flower exponentially over this year and be blessed to reach countless more of our fellow citizens.

We begin our work for 2009 ( which will prove to be a very active year Worldwide as the New Love Consciousness takes even greater strides towards replacing the Old Power Greed Animal based Modalities that are now in the early stages of dying off forever.), by re introducing our friends at Kiva. Org as well as introduce our newest of friends the ingenious FarmerD aka…. ( Daron Joffe).

Each of Us has the Power Within to Inspire and Create Positive Change..

Brothers and Sisters,

Please listen to the words of Robert Kennedy as read by his brother Ted during a Eulogy given in his honor. For me, Robert F. Kennedy was one of the truly inspirational and great men of the 20th century. He lived a short 43th years on this earth but gave every minute his fullest attention.

Never before have we citizens witnessed one mans journey toward enlightenment played out so openly and clearly, and on the grand stage of American Politics as the spiritual journey of Robert F. Kennedy.

Although he came from a family of great wealth and power RFK became even more committed to fighting the dark elements in American society after he came to see his own fathers part in all of it. That fact and the burden of believing his moral pursuits as attorney general may have contributed to his own brothers murder brought a new a heightened awareness to his abilities regarding the struggles of the oppressed during that time in history.

In 1965 as he attempted to deal with his deep grief regarding the murder of his brother Jack he traveled with a three-man team on an excursion sponsored by the National Geographic Society, RFK was the first to reach the summit of the 13,000 ft Mount Kennedy. He had no previous climbing experience. Up to that point, Mount Kennedy was the highest unclimbed peak in North America. It had been named after President John F. Kennedy earlier that year.

He morphed right in front of our eyes from an unsure and timid public speaker into a man who had millions of citizens who loved him as one of us and followed him like he was to be the next messiah. He became fearless, which may have contributed to his undoing. It is said that he was well aware of who was behind the public execution of his brother and as his popularity grew exponentially those responsible in the system grew even more fearful of him becoming President.

Another of the Peoples Kings had to be removed to maintain business as usual in Washington and so it was constructed.

As a small boy my family lived in the Washington D.C. area and we had the priviledge of attending many events at Hickory Hill, the home of Robert Kennedy. We stood with candles in a warm summer rain the night they brought his body back home on the funeral train from New York. My father, Irish American from Massachusetts and a devote follower of Jack and Bobby Kennedy gave in to alcohol after seeing both the brothers and MLK removed by the “Good Ol’ Boy, Industrial Defense, Power Structure / Masonic Brotherhood.”

For me, in reflection, I can now see how devestating it must have been for my father, then a young man, to see so clearly the true nature of the Elite and Powerful of America. How easy it was for the powerful to destroy all the hope these good men fought so hard to instill in all of us.

We have all been witness to these same members of the Elite who abuse and rape the constituition and do as they see fit during these last few decades. All the while neglecting their responsibilities to their fellow man. It is my hope that we all begin to see more clearly the power and beauty we all possess when we embrace the philosophy of Loving Kindness and Compassion for all of our fellow beings.

Each of us can make positive change through the way we live our daily lives. I hope you take time to review the many choices available on this site to contribute to the empowerment and well being of your fellow brothers and sisters.

May all beings be happy and safe, and may there hearts be filled with joy.

Citizen Soul Power

The words of Robert Kennedy read by his Brother Ted as part of his Eulogy.

The powerful words that Bobby Kennedy lived by and loved, written by one of his favorite writers George Bernard Shaw.

“Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.”

This footage is a testament to the Power of Hope and Love one man (RFK) instilled in hundreds of thousands of American citizens. Each of us has that same ability within us.

Finally, the words written and spoken by RFK the day after the murder of MLK.
