Inspired by the recently released Amerikkkan Justice Department’s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism (which specifically mentions ‘anarchists’ and ‘anti-capitalists’, espousing ‘anti-government’ ideas or belief, in addition to ‘animal rights’ and ‘environmental’ activists), Jwala presented the first part of a multi-series discussion about State repression, covert policing practices, and State surveillance.

Part 1 of the discussion cited historical examples of State repression and surveillance in Amerikkka and so-called Australia against political movements, by intelligence services. This included a brief overview of tactics utilised by both ASIO and the FBI’s Cointelpro in surveilling, repressing, and sabotaging political movements.

Part 2 of this discussion will be broadcast on 29 July, 2021, and will critique the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, explore how covert policing in so-called Australia impacts on activist networks, reinforces systemic racism, further criminalises marginalised communities, and contributes to the deeply carceral (and historic) foundations of so-called Australian society. Similarly, the discussion will explore advances in technology that allow the state to surveil us with ease.
