67. Then you will be soon labelled a terrorist.

alks-of-terrorism/

TransCanada, the Canadian corporation behind the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, is providing

security briefings to Nebraska authorities warning them to look into the application of

“anti-terrorism laws” on people who oppose the pipeline despite the fact that no Nebraskan

has committed a crime in the state in their efforts to stop the pipeline.

Bold Nebraska obtained TransCanada documents from the Nebraska State Patrol through a

Freedom of Information Act request and was alarmed to discover what they describe as efforts

to build distrust between Nebraska police and citizens who have organized to oppose the

pipeline which threatens their air, land and water.

“It’s outrageous that a foreign corporation would come into our state to sow fear of

landowners and citizens,” said Jane Kleeb, executive director of Bold Nebraska. “Every

meeting, rally, and action that we have done in Nebraska has been peaceful, non-violent and

lawful.”

BTW, when Obama was in San Francisco about a month ago, he said that he will be approving it to help "poor people who can't afford it if energy costs go up." (San Francisco Chronicle carried the story.)

Hmm, guess he's still for us poor people and probably still "for the children." But someone needs to explain to him that this pipeline is not going to offer help to Americans - the product is going through teh Pipleine, and then will be sent off to some foreign country.
