Thread: Do anti-terrorism laws protect the public or protect corporate profits?

Im very selective in using RT reports because of their motives for focusing on these issues BUT that does not automatically mean it's not true. As in this case. What they are reporting here is supported by the documentary record. Plus, Thom Hartmann is the one reporting it so it makes it ok. haha..



Excerpt from 2003 FBI Inquiry File:

key leaders of [redacted] who direct activities which disrupt the normal business and cause economic loss to local establishments there is a reasonable indication that and other members of [redacted] have violated the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.

It allows corporations to keep trade secrets secret longer than their pattens last. and it allows corporations to sell personal information and to breach personal privacy for "National Security", when in fact they use it for corporate positioning and corporate spying so they can profit off another countries inventions and trade secrets.

Good for corporations, and bad for private citizens' personal information.
