20. Who decides what is a terrorist

OWS is safe .. right now, but when a Repub is in office? What are they going to say when the Koch brothers call up and demand action.

My fiance and I are working on a non grid, and sustainable ag system for my land here in TN, I jar and can alot of fruit and veggies, and salt and smoke meat. At some points in the fall, before I start gifting and selling it I have at least 2 years worth of provisions for family of 4. To many that makes me a prepper and a threat. I am LOW/ unnoticed on the radar, but imagine a collective or CoOp that also espouses these same things, that also has members that protest, or attend "rallies" or direct action seminars ... See how easy it could be to brand one a threat?.. Look at what LE did to break up peaceful protest. Pepper spraying elderly journalists, shooting a former Marine in the head with a CS Canister.


Yeah, I trust the PTB to be judicious and responsible when no one is looking
