Green Scare
Mises à jour à venir bientôt !
The Green Scare is the federal government's ongoing prosecution of environmental and animal rights activists. The name relates to the Red Scare of the 1940's and 1950's. It includes the government, corporations, and politicians labeling activists as "ecoterrorists" and national security threats and giving them to long prison sentences.

Le juge John Paul Stevens.
