Taco Bell, Wal-Mart, NRA hired 'black ops' company that targeted environmental groups
 Advertisements [?]Source: RawStory.com / Mother Jones

A private security firm managed by former Secret Service officers spied on myriad environmental organizations throughout the 1990s and the year 2000, thieving documents, trying to plant undercover operations and collecting phone records of members, according to a new report.

Documents obtained by James Ridgeway, a Mother Jones correspondent formerly with the Village Voice, reveals the contractor collected confidential internal records -- donor lists, financial statements -- even Social Security numbers, for public relations outfits and "corporations involved in environmental controversies."

Beckett Brown International also offered "intelligence" services to the Carlyle Group, the controversial DC-based investment company; "protective services" for the National Rifle Association; "crisis management" for the Gallo wine company and for Pirelli; "information collection" for Wal-Mart.

"Also listed as clients in BBI records," Ridgeway reveals: "Halliburton and Monsanto."

5. And since they are "Private" Companies
 You have no expectation of privacy

And you can't sue them for violating your civil rights


again, another 'viet vet' chimes in

20. At the sub barracks we stepped up from T-Bird
 to Boones Farm. That was better than the Gallo white port at 55 cents a pint I tried.

About a decade or more ago when Gallo got into the 'visit our vineyard and watch us play respectable' groove, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself knowing it's rep to all the drinkers in the '60s.



lots of 'vets'

Seeing the source of the 'piece,' let's just say that the veracity of the "documents" in question is, well, "questionable."

You don't suppose "Mr." Ridgeway would have done anything slightly illegal in obtaining these documents??  Say, something exactly like the firm he was investigating?  Always supposing, of course, that they are even legit...   :whatever:

Frito-Lay + Taco Bell = PepsiCo. 

It's a conspiracy.  :fuelfire:

Idjits. I am still amazed at the level of insanity on DU. It's like the gift that keeps on giving!

And who was president in the 1990's - 2000? Hmmm...It's all Clinton's fault!!!!  :lmao: :loser:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

You know, I thought there was something funny going on. My brother works for Frito Lay and he just got a promotion...AFTER he went to Texas for a 2 week training seminar. Looks like teh Rove has his hand in this one. Of course with Haliburton being involved I guess we know where the VP has been lately. If he gets a new puppy and names it Karl, I'll KNOW it's true.

Farking idiot!  Boycott Pepsico and you pretty much won't be eating out, eating snack foods or drinking the number one soft drink in the country, Mt. Dew. 

Just stick to the usual plan and have another "not one damn dime" day.  That seems to work real good for you freaks!   :whatever:
