7. *** Sure enough.  For me the terrorists are those who impose terror.  If
8. you're afraid at a hackerspace because it is infiltrated by spooks, then
9. you're a victim of mass terrorism.  FUD is a common tactics of
10. terrorism.  Big media propaganda is a good channel for that as well.
11.  
12. The TLAs use terrorism constantly.  That's how they win: FUD, FUD, FUD,
13. and then pick up.  Remember that FBI tactics of finding a potential
14. target and luring them into committing a crime in order to arrest them?
15.  That's also a form of terrorism, because it prevents anyone from having
16. sane human relationships.  "Maybe this cool stranger I've been opening
17. up to is going to rat me out, or enter my home, or rob my mother".
18. Terrorism is not just suicide bombers blowing up a bus or two guys
19. walking into a building for a massacre.  That's the handcrafted level of
20. terrorism.  That's the terrorism the industrial terrorists use as an
21. excuse to impose their industrial terror and distill more control across
22. society.  FUD, FUD, FUD, and then pick up.  In the voice of the
23. terrorists, everyone against them is labeled a terrorist.  The more
24. vociferous ones are put on a kill list and droned out, along with all
25. the people around them.  If that's not "an evil act of terrorism", I am
26. the Maadi.
