Pentagon caught spying on peaceful activists

[Lone_Wolf]

Is there any doubt that our Democracy has completely morphed into a authoratorian corporatocracy under Bush, the Neocons, and the complicit DLC?


"Newly leaked Pentagon documents have confirmed the military has been monitoring and collecting intelligence on anti-war groups across the country. Peace protests are being described as threats and the military is collecting data on who is attending demonstrations. We speak with William Arkin, the former Army intelligence officer, who obtained the secret Pentagon documents."

1. This is a blast from the past

they were doing exactly the same during the Vietnam war, and those who did not expect this, well this time around were delusional

2. That anyone is amazed or surprised shows we need to do better

at teaching history to our young!

Critical thinking might be a good skill to work on with the general population too. Guess they cut back on classes for a reason.

3. I agree.. they tried to do the same thing...

but I fear this is much worse. With the information available in corporate databases today, our right to privacy will be non-existent.
