let's face it,
a large majority of us here,
are probably on some 'terrorist watchlist" somewhere.

And even if we are not,
we would be considered as such, simply for our points of view and opinions and ability to recognize BS...
and talk about it freely.

If you question the 'establishment', or 'TPTB'
youre a fugging terrorist in their eyes,
accept it. lol

Not really surprised. Last century's "commies" are this century's "terrorists". Fear mongering is the most profitable way to govern people. It is also very effective because people are too scared to even attempt to think logically. Black listed for being a commie in the 50s = being put on the terrorist watch list today. SSDD.

In reality, it's highly unlikely he's actually being 'watched' or anything like that. By publicly stating that he's been added to this list, it serves as a little warning to him and others not to pursue interests that go against the government agenda. i.e., don't make these kind of movies, and don't speak publicly about 9/11 truth. Look what happened to Charlie Sheen. Fox News' smear campaign was actually impressive in it's scale.

Oh no! I've seen his movies...I may see another....damn! I've now supported terrorism.

Seriously, this is exactly why this is all a joke. What would be really fun to find out is exactly how much it costs all of us to actually have a name put on a terror watch list. You know how many people's salaries, time, red tape, *cough* secret cables, etc., go into determining such a thing? I'm not kidding, I guarantee the cost per name per watch list is extremely high.

Frankly at this point I'm feeling a little left out. I may be one of the few NOT on a terrorist list. Never mind, I forgot I went to see his movie.... yea! I'm part of the group.

Mark, a terrorist??
ahhhh man.
he can't be a terrorist
he's one of my fav actors

Anything spoken, filmed or printed
that's anti-government is terrorist
propaganda. Sounds like the Gestapo !!!

Outside of him putting out a movie that is ubercritical of the petrolchemical industry what makes him a domestic terrorist threat?

Was he ever a member of a recognized terror group? Has his travel as of late been suspicious? Has he/is he currently planning a terrorist act of financing one?

Or is it nothing more then this movie?

To be honest here, we don't really know if he's affiliated with earth first or one of the other violent environmentalist water melon groups. Even still, terrorist lists and the patriot act's Homeland Security are for Islamic terrorists and not for our run of the mill criminals who can be handled under the constitution like we have always done.

The US State Dept and The US Dept Of Homeland Securiy's "Terrorist Group Watch List" encompasses every single group of radical and hate groups anywhere on the planet regardless of ideaology, faith or skin colour. All racist groups, every single group that threatens the stability of any nation on the planet is listed.

To say it only applies to Islamic Extremists is dead wrong and illegal under racial profiling which DHS is forbidden to do.

There is a Bush tie in there, but its really more of a Cheney Tie and it's not a political view at all, its pure greed and lack of over sight for that reason. The Gas Companies are the only companies excluded from the clean air and water act and guess how made sure of it. and guess who makes ALL the equipment and chemicals needed to Frack the slate, well Haliburton. (just to think about it, put Obama, where I say Cheney and see if it would make you mad, if it would, you should be mad)

I think it is important to point out that while the greed is the personal greed of the corporate CEOs, the evil is ultimately carried out at the hands of government. Government is the corporate gun. Corporations will always be greedy, however greed is a good thing as long as property rights are protected.

The purpose of the legislation is not to allow the gas companies to pollute, but to keep start-ups from competing with them.

The purpose of all legislation is to cartelize industry and drive up profits.

Which is why all legislation that does not protect property rights is bad.

The pollution problem can be solved quite simply in the private courts by allowing people who can demonstrate damage to their land sue the polluters for damages.

If you pollute someone else's land and they can prove damages, they should be able to sue you for those damages. However, as we can see by the oil spill disaster, this is not possible when property rights are not respected. Instead, the citizens are paying for the clean up costs and the damages Shell has to pay are limited by government decree.

Government is the root of all evil.
