The Invisible Hand of the Market....Again
February 3, 2014 at 6:00 pm
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21626-...-terrorism

Quote:in 2006, under heavy lobbying from the pharmaceutical, animal agriculture and fur industries, Congress passed the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA). The AETA is designer legislation that targets political dissent directed at any business that uses or sells animals or animal products - or any company "connected to" such "animal enterprises." Simply hurting the profits of these businesses - by, for example, producing and screening a film that inspires people to boycott foie gras or other animal products - qualifies as a terrorist offense. Indeed, a distressingly high number of my closest friends have been convicted as terrorists for engaging in free speech and civil disobedience advocacy on behalf of animals.

"Designer legislation" in instances like this means that corporate capitalist scumbags write the laws for some dickhead congressman that they own to introduce for their benefit.
