We've seen the US prosecute and imprison eco-protesters as terrorists.





We know that "terrorism tracking" organizations have repeatedly surveiled and reported that peace protesters are potential terrorists. This is part of a nationally orchestrated war on dissent

We know that the mainstream media routinely serves as delivery services for the lies and distortions of the military and the government.

We know that Innocent peace activists have been labeled as potential terrorists.

So, it is no surprise that protesters are being arrested and potentially framed for being protesters.

It is no surprise that the mainstream media are unquestioningly reporting that the people arrested were terrorists.

Here's a snippet from former OEN editor/writer, Kevin Gosztola, now with firedoglake, on the situation he's been covering. The Chicago Tribune is playing its role as a lapdog that is willing to serve and be manipulated by the Chicago police. Here's an interesting nugget from the Tribune' s coverage: The arrests were the result of a month-long investigation into a group suspected of making Molotov cocktails -- crude bombs usually created by filling glass bottles with gasoline, according to law enforcement sources and police records obtained by the Tribune. Why does that strike me? The NLG attorneys representing the arrestees have not been shown any police records on any "month-long investigation." The details I have been able to gather from speaking to arrestees personally make it seem like the police have, in the past 48 hours, fabricated all of these details about having some investigation in progress. Yet, the press get to see the records on arrestees so that the police can be sure people take the charges against the activists seriously and do not suspect police abuse or repression of activists.

It is only a matter of time when people who challenge the corporatocracy are legally defined as terrorists.
