Center for Constitutional Rights: Connect the dots, NDAA, SOPA, and Occupy Wall Street
climateadaptation:
Friends, let’s connect the dots:
1) The NDAA allows the military to hold American citizens indefinitely without trial if labeled ‘terrorists’ by the President while effectively making GITMO a forever prison.
2) Counter-terrorism units were all over Occupy encampments. The 1% is taking no chances with this movement.
3) SOPA is in the works to give the government power to blacklist the web, one of the most effective tools activists have, as the Arab Spring and Occupy movements have shown. Again, the 1% is taking no chances.
4) There are laws like AETA which make animal activism a terrorist act if it results in loss of profits for the targeted corporations. As a matter of fact, all over the country there is legislation in the works trying to criminalize dissent and expand the application of the ‘terrorism’ label to non-violent political activity.
Let’s arm ourselves with knowledge of how the 1% is waging war on We the People. Spread the word. We can’t afford to stop mobilizing against this.
