One week before the trial that could change our lives forever, I gather with two co-defendants to discuss what this trial really stands for: silencing conversation about factory farms.
You are absolutely right. The real target is not you, but all of us who can see how you are being hauled into court, and then many choose silence. This is exactly the same as around the dangerous injections and the suppression of treatment. See how those who speak out are treated. BE AFRAID. BE SILENT. It is anti-human to have no right to rescue. It is the healthy human response to rescue when we see hurt, harm, injury, suffering. You and those with you are wonderful in both what you are doing and your thinking through what is really being done to all of us. As you know, many of us do not choose silence, but to speak out with and for you, for animal rights.
Thank you, Wayne, for your leadership and sacrifices. You know you're making a difference when the opposition is moving mountains to silence you and strip you of your freedom. History will not look kindly on the people who terrorized animals in factory farms and their enablers in the government and the media.
<3 <3 <3 Wayne thank you for all your heroism. I cannot believe it is just a week away. This blog gives me hope. How are you feelin.' I cannot imagine. Big Huggies
Total admiration for you. What a battle- the one against humans'easy tendency to organised violence is a hard one to crack. That and the greed. There are good souls around - you are clearly one of them
I just finished listening to Corban Addison’s book Wasteland which is excellent instruction on how to win against them. Smithfield is the worst is so many ways.
Appeal appeal appeal IF you’re convicted. Also if what you’re accused of is theft, and you have the video to prove it, seemingly the prosecution would want to show it. It’s insane to me that they can prohibit that!
I’m not a lawyer though. Much love to you and it’s possible you could WIN!!
Wayne, please be ALERT that the "Peter Singer" in the picture of your email about Smithfield could be a criminal replacement version from that evil turtle demon head. To emphasize, please be ALERT that that evil turtle demon head is the most aggressive militant ID-kidnapper and perpetrator of criminal replacement. It has been psychopathically kidnapping the identities of many outstanding innocent good people and then criminally replacing them by superimposing its very own nasty ugly mark of the beast (turtle forehead/top head) toward them, resulting their good decent images ruined and defamed.
These victims can be holy or lay, royal or civil, alive or deceased, male or female, real or fictional, such as the Holy Pope, Russian President Vladimir Putin, King Charles III, Actor Sean Connery, Prince William, Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh), U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley, actor Sean Connery, and the Sun God in Hollywood movies.

You’re only barred from playing the Smithfield video at your trial, a decision which can be appealed if you are convicted, not from showing it on the internet. So, while they clearly don’t want people to see what happens to animals in factory farms they can’t, nor are they trying to, stop you, or anyone else, from showing it on the internet. Nor can they stop people from gathering this footage as our courts have consistently shot down Ag. Gag laws as unconstitutional. While your trial may effect you personally it has no effect on the AR movement's ability to gather and show video from factory farms.
Additionally, I don’t know what “grassroots animal rights movement” your referring to that was “seemingly crushed” after SHAC7 were imprisoned but it wasn’t the AR grassroots movement in the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA) which has never been afraid to speak out, regardless of what happened to other activists and regardless of being arrested ourselves. “Campaigns, demonstrations, and even outreach” never came close to disappearing in SFBA, virtually or otherwise. The grassroots movement in SFBA, across all AR issues, has always been strong since I joined it in the mid-80s, and we have never been scared to engage in any AR activism pre or post Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. DxE is fairly new to the SFBA so maybe you are not aware of our AR history here but AR activism has always been strong here, pre and post DxE.

I am a law student, though not from the USA. The First Amendment to the US Constitution reads:
"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; ..."
Does the first amendment not apply to state laws?
Ag-gag laws are clearly in violation of the First Amendment.
Silence is dangerous and we have responsibility to never fear speaking for the defenceless!
Good Luck with the trial. I’ll be watching and praying and hopefully things will change for animals for the better. X

This compassionate action of yours makes me proud to be human for a change.
