From sumofus.org: Peter, When grassroots activists dared to challenge the global biotech giant Monsanto, it hired the world’s largest private army, Blackwater, to infiltrate and monitor their groups. And when a union stood up to Walmart’s unfair treatment of its workers, the retail chain sent in an undercover employee to spy on their organizing efforts. These are the sort of dirty tactics that the world’s multinationals are using to undermine and eliminate any opposition to their corporate abuses. And increasingly, our community at SumOfUs is a target. Not just because we’ve already hit Monsanto, Walmart and other serial abusers with dozens of fearless campaigns this year -- but because we’re showing that together, we can win. The only question is when they will come for us. We’ve already been threatened with crippling legal action by a Canadian extraction company determined to silence our opposition to the Tar Sands, and alerted to a potential attempt to access our internal documents without authorisation.
