A Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation deputy director warned a group of Maury County residents that unfounded complaints about water quality could be considered an "act of terrorism."

"We take water quality very seriously. Very, very seriously," said Sherwin Smith, deputy director of TDEC's Division of Water Resources, according to audio recorded by attendees. "But you need to make sure that when you make water quality complaints you have a basis, because federally, if there's no water quality issues, that can be considered under Homeland Security an act of terrorism."

"Can you say that again, please?" an audience member can be heard asking on the audio.

Smith went on in the recording to repeat the claim almost verbatim.

8. Anyone who commits acts that interfere with profit is a terrorist

Animal Rights activists, anti-GMO activists, environmental activists, Occupiers, antiwar activists, civil rights activists, programmers working on programs to circumvent the surveillance of activists, journalists and citizen journalists who report with integrity and sympathy are terrorists, 4chan, Anonymous... the list is very long.

11. To the Corporatists we are...

To actual working people, we are heroes.

And don't get me started on surveillance of activists, it's been going as long as I have been an activist in 1968.
