BREAKING: FBI Raids Activist House in Utah, Connected to Iowa ALF Investigation

According to the criminal complaint, evidence ostensibly linking Scott DeMuth to Peter Young was found in a diary said to belong to DeMuth, which was seized from a Minneapolis house in a SWAT team raid on Sept. 1, 2008, the weekend before the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
The preemptive police raids led to the arrests of eight local political organizers, the RNC 8, who are still facing felony conspiracy charges in state district court. The case has dragged on for 18 months. The RNC 8 and the RNC 8 Defense Committee have been sponsoring events in support of Scott and Carrie, and see all of these prosecutions as part of a process of political repression against radical political expression and organizing. For more info, go to: rnc8.org

The “associate” reference was made by the prosecution based on a journal seized from DeMuth's home.

From http://www.voiceofthevoiceless.org/battle-over-… “Prosecutors also focused on references in the journal to an alleged associate of DeMuth’s, identified in the journal only as “P”. They asserted “P” was me, arguing I was a “fugitive from justice” for 7 years, and this alleged relationship (Scott and I have never met).”

And I would hardly call a reference to the letter P as “ostensibly” linking DeMuth to Young.

This is too crazy. You would think that the FBI would have better things to do than to mess with a bunch of kids computers and phones. What an inconvenience to these students who need these computers for their jobs and school. What irreparable damages has the government caused these kids? What recourse do these kids have? These kids are not involved in what happened in Iowa in 2005 any more than at the time teenagers Carrie Feldman and Scott DeMuth were involved. The government is just looking to mess with peoples lives because they can and because they failed in their job to catch the real culprits in Iowa.

i am in europe, and only ever got interested in any of this thanks to a school report thing xD
But i am actualy getting more and more interested in this…
I have to say i amnt suprised ….
If that bill thing passes ( i am not at all up to date with this xD i am europeen ), then this site will probebly be in trouble….
This is just the begining in my opinion…

Hang in there Will Potter !!! and keep us up to speed

Get informed. Peter Young has done/and is currently doing much more than just hosting a website. He is a convicted felon – and spent two years bent over in jail – which he deserves. Ha ha – what goes around comes around!!!

What all of these “supporters” of Peter Young don't get is that they are NOTHING but little pawns in Peter's ILLEGAL games. He DOES NOT want to get bent over in jail anymore – but actively recruits others to do his dirty work…not caring if they go to jail for “the cause”. Get a life – join a real cause and let this FELON continue to ruin his own life not yours!

Joe, is that you? It's been a while buddy….haven't seen you around. How've you been? The Bureau had you on any cool secret agent man missions latley?

What's a “real cause”? One that is about humans only, instead of all animals? Speciesism needs to be challenged, just like racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression. Read David Nibert's Animal Rights/Human Rights and you'll see that human exploitation of other animals underpins and drives all hierarchical domination.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

You're really comparing yourselves to Martin Luther King, Jr and Nelson Mandela….really? You people are more off base than I thought. Martin Luther King, Jr. obeyed the law and by no means ever protested wearing a full faced ski mask toting a sign with a drawing of an AK47 stating “no compromise”.
Nice try – but you people are not Martin Luther King Jr.'s.
Hi Lin – I don't know who Joe is – but sounds like I would love to meet you both!
I also love the advice Judith gives to all “don't say anything”. Yeah – let your gaunt, hollow eyed, fraile boned, vegan lovin', non dairy latte drinking “friend” Carrie break the law and spend the rest of her life in prison….you guys give great advice. With friends like you who needs enemies? I wonder what kind of vegan meals they serve in prison….yummy! Well maybe she will be able to sleep on some organic cotton sheets – that have harmed no animals while being made.
Be strong Peter you hero – you watch all those farms – we're obviously watching you too!

People first? HA. That exact sentiment is why non human animals are enslaved and murdered at alarming numbers. WE don't hold animals above people but animals certainly deserve moral consideration and lives free from human exploitation. They don't need the same rights as us, but they most definitely have a right to live without pain and suffering, to live in their natural environments and not be classified as property or commodities to be used however humans see fit.

Carrie Feldman should be applauded as well, she did not give into the corrupt grand jury system and stood behind her political beliefs. I think she is released now, but I am not positively sure.

Who the hell are you to say what are better “causes”?. Any cause that fights against oppression, human and non human are causes that need to be fought. Right now your losing your civil liberties, is that a cause worth fighting for? Animal Liberation=Human Liberation. But that's just something you will never “get”.

Everyone, keep writing our political prisoners!

Homophobic rape jokes even more so…
