This article uses a small, seemingly innocuous anti-mountain top removal protest as a point from which to examine recent legislation against "domestic terrorism" and "Eco-terrorism". It shows how sit-in trespassers came to be considered dangerous radical extremists. There is considerable examination of the historical evolution of increasingly draconian anti-terrorism law. The irony is pointed out in authorities protecting the corporations exploding mountaintops and polluting rivers but arresting non-violent protesters. I find this article to be useful, informative, well sourced and well-written. It would be enlightening to bring together a wide range of diverse examples from around the nation. I know one peaceful, legal anti-pesticide spraying protest in Oregon was busted up with help from Homeland Security personnel, who admitted legal protests were routinely "monitored."
