All Hail the corptocracy! Mark Ruffalo on terror advisory list !

[Curmudgeoness]

27. Well, PA is saying it is a rumor, but

there is a watch list, and it is compiled in Pennsylvania. Not federal. It is known because it was leaked.

In response to a story by Patriot-News reporter Donald Gilliland, a shame-faced Gov. Ed Rendell held news conferences saying, “This is ludicrous. And I apologize to any of the groups who had this information disseminated about their activities. They have the right to protest.”

At the center of this mess was Pennsylvania’s Office of Homeland Security, a quiet division within the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.

The director resigned, but there were a lot of questions about how this office and the private group it hired were able to get away with such outlandish activity on the public dime. The bulletins put out by ITRR also were being shared with private corporations, another huge red flag.

I realize that the link is to an editorial article, but the truth is that there was/is a PA Office of Homeland Security, and it did list a large number of fracking opponents, as well as other protest groups including gay rights and tea parties.
