This isn't really new - it's been true at least since the early sixties that there was a state/private apparatus that carries on a war against American citizens on behalf of the corporations and their wealthy owners. They used to label people as Communists, now it's Terrorists but there's no real difference - what it really means is anyone opposed to their fascist system.
