A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.

    This is probably an unpopular opinion; but didn’t some of these ABC intelligence groups ETC; let’s just say GoV… Didn’t IT fail to prevent 9/11?

    Just asking questions…

    And didn’t the government somewhat fail to compensate or hold those entities responsible for compensation to 9/11 victims and their families ? i.e. insurance companies ETC.
