A Corporate State of Mind and Eco-Terrorism

Reuters (March 11, 2008, Four indicted in 1999 U.S. eco-terrorism arson) and the Associated Press (March 11, 2008, 4 Charged in MSU 'Domestic Terrorism' Fire) and the London Times (March 11, 2008, Eco-terrorists top the FBI's threat list after wave of arson attacks) have stories today on the indictment of 4 individuals on arson charges (charges of arson, aggravated arson, and conspiracy to commit arson). Chris Ayres on the Times begins ominously ...

... the Earth Liberation Front - is described as a decentralised al-Qaeda-style network and America's No 1 domestic terrorism threat...


They're labeled domestic terrorists for burning buildings ... where no one was injured or died.


And the corporations who've endangered the health of nine million people in the Great Lakes region - who may face elevated health risks from being exposed to dioxin, PCBs, pesticides, lead, mercury, or six other hazardous pollutants (CARCINOGENS, ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS) - are protected by the USG.


Researchers found low birth weights, elevated rates of infant mortality and premature births, and elevated death rates from breast cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer.

People are dying from the pollution - infants and adults alike. And the corporations are NOT labeled domestic terrorists, nor even criminals, and the report documenting this crime against humanity isn't being released by the US government. Life in the nation of government of the corporation, by the corporation and for the corporation places little value on the lives of the human citizens.
