Dissent or Terror: How the Nation's Counter-Terrorism Apparatus, In Partnership With Corporate America, Turned on Occupy Wall Street New Report from DBA Press and the Center for Media and Democracy Dissent or Terror The culmination of a yearlong investigation, the report exposes the surveillance by state and federal agencies of occupy protestors, including against those organizing protests of ALEC during their conference in Arizona in late 2011. The report details how private interests have become part of the information-sharing environment, and exposes how data mining, facial recognition software and undercover police were deployed against ALEC protestors. The report is essential reading, but for those particularly interested in ALEC, Chapters 10 to 15 (ALEC protestor surveillance) are recommended. The report is authored by Beau Hodai, DBA Press publisher and Center for Media and Democracy contributor.
