Reply #5: dovetails into anti- anti-WTO/FTAA Gestapo tactics [View All]

When it comes time to describe who was demonstrating vs. the WTO, FTAA, CAFTA, etc., "anarchists" is one of the favorite MSM monikers, regardless of the fact that far from being "anarchists" the people demonstrating largely did so out of economic self-interest. Not to mention that none of the affair had the slightest to do with the system of governance at all, but rather specific legislation, policies, and non-governmental organizations.

In this article, the Economist is attempting to connect this "anarchism" to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism (regardless of whether that even exists as a threat to the US outside false flag attacks), and paint them as villains of the same stripe. This is a propaganda move to delegitimize the neocons' nonviolent political opposition and to provide a pretext for escalating the violence of the military assaults carried out on the demonstrations and protests, in all likelihood to the level of lethal force.
