Terrorists everywhere – with new draconian ‘laws’ come new categories!

The recent labeling by the government of ‘Anonymous’ and other dissenting and protesting groups as ‘terrorists’ is NOT unexpected and should have been anticipated by activists everywhere -- we are NOT naïve!

There are consequences to everything but especially for activist groups/entities/amorphous (lol) or otherwise that oppose Banking and Corporate criminal elites that have hijacked the law, our democracy and nation -- if any dreamboat imagined these cabals wouldn’t fight back then do yourself and everyone else a favor and go watch American idol!

Call me old fashioned but I like to understand the MEANING of common terms, especially those that are CONSTANTLY bandied about by the powers to JUSTIFY their criminal activities; terms that are PIVOTAL to their reason for being – terms that largely REMAIN legally u-n-d-e-f-i-n-e-d under international convention and law – [I wonder why? Doh!]

Let’s start with, you guessed it, the word, “terrorism;” a word that saturates mass media air-waves and is very familiar, but not completely understood by many!

Most Americans would be surprised to learn that the USA -- the State that most uses the word -- REFUSED to agree to a UN proposal for a universal DEFINITION of, “TERRORISM!” The proposal was made by then Secretary General Kofi Annan in order to easily IDENTIFY ‘terrorists’ and bring them to justice – sure sounded like a very good proposal to me! But the USA dropped its bundle and ran from any universal or legal definition -- can YOU guess why?

A few dictionary definitions may assist at his stage:

1. “the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.”

2. “[violent] acts which are intended to create fear (terror) … that deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians).”

3. “the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.”

Very interesting, most dictionary definitions seem to be in agreement so we need not be misled or confused any longer by media demagogues and lying politicians that accuse non-violent protesters of terrorism!

After clarifying meaning the next step is to IDENTIFY the real terrorists among us; now read the above definitions again and it becomes abundantly clear that the USA and NATO are the leading TERRORIST nations, groups in the world today; NOT hackers like ANONYMOUS that kill no-one, or lame, misguided Occupy protesters that are unable to lift a finger to LEGITIMATELY protect themselves from State violence!

The USA and its puppet allies deliberately kill more civilians than all the other nations of the world combined – approximately SIX million since the Indo-Chinese war! Furthermore, which nation CONSTANTLY threatens violence against people, groups and other States? Yep, the USA, which is engaged in threatening nations with war and violence even as I write!

So the next time you witness lame, politicians or puppet presidents bandy that word around and accuse non-violent, dissenting or protesting groups of ‘terrorist’ activity, you will KNOW it is an old, tired and worn propaganda trick of blaming the victim for the crimes 'you' are committing!

Make no mistake whatsoever, THE FACTS ARE CLEAR AND IN EVERYONE’S FACE – THE USA AND NATO are the WORLD’S LEADING CRIMINAL TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS!

Do you think we should now address and REMEDY the PROBLEM of criminal elites running the country?
