  Is Show Over for 'Eco-terror' Security Theatre?

  Hi Emily,
  Thanks for the post, and the link! I think it's important to point out, though, that all this eco-terrorism scare-mongering is far from over.
  
  The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act was just used, for the first time, against activists in CA accused of protesting and distributing leaflets. (Under the watch of the Obama Justice Department).
  
  I have an article up now about secretive Communication Management Units being used to house Muslims, environmental activists and animal rights activists. (One of them created in Obama's home state, during his tenure as Senator).
  
  Further, as clarification, it was the FBI who labeled "eco-terrorism" the number one domestic terrorism threat. This is a DHS report, and DHS put out a very similar report about "left wing" extremism as well.
  
  In short, I think right wingers are getting worked up over next to nothing. It is unusual to see a report on right wing "terrorism" get so much attention. But the fact remains that government resources are being spent harassing, infiltrating and prosecuting animal rights and eco activists, not right wingers.
  
  Best, Will
