The Green Scare: Civil Liberties Post-9/11

What is the Green Scare? Most everyone has heard of the Red Scare. In a
talk given at the U of M, award-winning independent journalist Will Potter
makes the case that animal rights and environmental (green) activists are
the most recent targets of government repression via new "anti-terrorism"

Recrossing the Rubicon

“Experience [has] shown that, even under the best forms [of government], those entrusted with power have, in time and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”

Thomas Jefferson, 1779

In the aftermath of 9/11 the Bush administration and many Democrats crossed a constitutional Rubicon. By both presidential directives and legislation, constitutionally protected rights have been restricted and/or abolished, and the constitutionally mandated ‘separation of powers’ between the executive and legislative branches of government has been erased by presidential fiat.

Dissent and Democracy - an RNC analysis

by Sue Ann Martinson

Remember the Boston Tea Party? That was property damage, wasn't it? All that tea overboard?

About a six weeks ago the Twin Cities, especially St. Paul, experienced a military occupation. If you were not involved in protesting, you might not have known how bad it was with helicopters buzzing above your head and militarized law enforcement on horses, on bikes, and in ninja turtle outfits—also called robo cops.

And why should you care? You didn't get beaten up. It was only those nasty anarchists, wasn't it? And that is what they want the public to believe.
