Just for the record . . . .

. . . . it was during the last government shutdown - one of 28 days' duration - that a certain blowjob occurred in an anteroom to a famous ovoid office, resulting in House Managers, looking for all the world like 14 dweebs, marched their sorry asses into a Senate chamber where neither they nor their mission were welcomed.

The term economic terrorism is strictly defined to indicate an attempt at economic destabilization by a group.[citation needed] More precisely, in 2005 the Geneva Centre for Security Policy defined economic terrorism in the following terms:

Contrary to "economic warfare" which is undertaken by states against other states, "economic terrorism" would be undertaken by transnational or non-state actors. This could entail varied, coordinated and sophisticated or massive destabilizing actions in order to disrupt the economic and financial stability of a state, a group of states or a society (such as market oriented western societies) for ideological or religious motives. These actions, if undertaken, may be violent or not. They could have either immediate effects or carry psychological effects which in turn have economic consequences.[1]
