CANADALAND

A site called SeaWestNews describes Alexandra Morton as “BC's loudest anti-salmon farming activist,” and her writing as “rambling” and “conspiracy-laden.”

Originally a whale biologist from California, Morton was shocked into activism when her research revealed the devastating results of industrialized salmon farming.

Since then, she's been subject to attack campaigns meant to discredit her, intimidated by sea Mounties, and surveilled by armed operatives in boats with tinted windows. And she's exposed the salmon industry's influence on the government department meant to protect the oceans.

It's all documented in her book, Not on My Watch: How a renegade whale biologist took on governments and industry to save wild salmon.

This episode is brought to you by the Rotman School of Management, Kilne and FreshBooks.

Additional music by Audio Network.

Ari Ben-Menashe has been an Israeli spy, sold weapons to Iran, survived a firebombing, and been the target of at least one RCMP investigation. He crossed paths with Jeffrey Epstein. And he's worked for Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, Libya's Khalifa Haftar, and Sudan's Transitional Military Council.

Ben-Menashe runs the lobbying firm Dickens & Madson (Canada), based Montreal.

And on March 5th, it was reported that he'd been awarded a US$2 million contract to lobby the U.S. and other governments on behalf of the military generals in Myanmar who seized power in a coup on February 1st.

Julian Pecquet broke that story for his site ForeignLobby.com, and he tells Jesse what he knows about Ben-Menashe, his source.

Then Jesse talks to Ari Ben-Menashe himself.
