| Corporations are trying to use the PATRIOT Act in ways that have
nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden because the PATRIOT Act gives
transnational corporations the power to snuff out the activism of all
those who oppose them.
Terrorism, as it is commonly considered, is
the use of violence against civilians to achieve any number of
political ends: the destruction of the federal government, the
overturning of
Roe V. Wade, the restoration of a Caliphate. If
you try to kill people – or succeed in killing people for a political
purpose - you’re a terrorist. If you blow up the Alfred P. Murrow
Federal Building and kill 168 civilians, like Timothy McVeigh, you’ve
committed an act of terrorism.
