March 5th, 2009  |  Published in Culture and Activism, Environment and the Climate Crisis, Police State

What is the Green Scare? Most everyone has heard of the Red Scare. In a talk given at the U of M, award-winning independent journalist Will Potter makes the case that animal rights and environmental (green) activists are the most recent targets of government repression via new “anti-terrorism” laws. Potter is an authority on the use of these new laws to silence political activists post-9/11. Potter’s writing on the topic was recognized by Project Censored as one of the top twenty censored stories of 2008. Includes Q & A. (total run time 96 minutes).
