Eco-activism equals terror?

UK Government Classifies Eco Activists as 'Extremists' Alongside Al Qaeda

Some disturbing news has just surfaced in the UK--it appears that its Ministry of Justice has taken to listing environmental protesters and activists alongside al Qaeda terrorists in its system for classifying 'extremists'. The British newspaper the Guardian made the unsettling discovery when it gained access to some internal documents from the government.


This 'guidance' evidently highlights "environmental extremists" as belonging to the same group as dissident Irish republicans, loyalist paramilitaries, and al-Qaeda-inspired extremists.


But the parameters of "environmental extremist" are so ill-defined that someone vocally marching in support of a coal plant closure may feasibly be included in its list


We recently saw a similar classification take place here in the US, when our government classified PETA as terrorists.

Asking for a change in the way we live a threat to society? We know it is a threat to some fat wallets making money at the expense of the Earth... So I guess we know who makes the rules.
