#1 Terrorist Threat?

Tue, 28 Feb 2006 13:15:53 -0700

Blurb:

Immediately after 9/11, the fbi labeled the radical environmental movement as the "number one domestic terrorist threat". In Dec 05 and Jan 06, using surveillance tactics only made 'legal' under the patriot act and the presidential war-powers rights-grab, the feds indicted almost a dozen people suspected of being environmentalists. One of them is now dead. Criminalization of dissent - what are you going to do about it?

Description:

In late December, 05, a nation-wide sting rounded up activists. All suspected as environmentalists, and accused of arson. Surveillance tactics were used that have only become 'legal' under the patriot act. What's new about this is that under the Patriot Act, these people, if they are convicted of arson, are now classified as terrorists, and all rights of citizenry can be stripped. Come to Prescott, Arizona, where the Catalyst Infoshop was raided by the feds. Meet Ilse Asplund, former EarthFirst!er who has done time for actions of civil disobedience. Mark Potok from the Southern Poverty Law Center calls the feds' labeling of environmentalists as the number one domestic terrorist threat ludicrous, and points instead to the radical right wing militias. How do you feel about this kind of criminalization of dissent? We suggest: outrage.
