Semper Fi
Psychological warfare, deployed by major corporations against American communities that try to protect themselves from the environmental ravages and public health disasters foisted on them, is nothing new. CBS 60 Minutes even did a segment on it back in 1992. Today, however, corporate mercenaries with prior psywar experience in the US military are being deployed to carry out the tasks of harassment and extortion previously carried out by industry thugs. That may seem like a minor distinction to some, but in light of the recent US legislation to authorize military detention of US citizens without access to civil courts or attorneys, it might be something to take into account.
