Dec.2013: New Hampshire jury acquits 3 environmental activists relying on CDPA defense on grounds for causing $250k damage to coal-fired power plant (owned by a multinational independent power producer) under construction in Laconia, NH. Climate scientists in trial testify coal-fired power stations contributed to CO2 emissions exacerbating global warming. Laconia plant had been approved by State & Federal agencies. Federal gov pressed charges against the 3 under Federal DHA.
Pres. in furtherance of Global War on Terror places an embargo on transactions between US companies & terrorist nations, WITHOUT consulting Congress. Congress recently passed joint resolution declaring Syria, Iran & N. Korea terrorist states.
Pres. requests Secretary of Defense in interests of national security revoke passport of ZK (environmental activist & Occupy Wall Streeter - not Scandinavian or one of Laconia-three). Wiretaps placed by Executive Branch without judicial intervention revealed ZK was a mastermind behind power plant incident and was planning trips to Cuba, Caracas & Tehran to denounce US environmental policy.
Defense Secretary decreed some members of militant eco-community in Brooklyn, deemed to be radicals, rounded up and brought to be tried by military tribunals. 5 individuals, non US citizens, illegal aliens from Scandinavia, belong to Green Alliance Center (GAC) where blueprints for activist activities are laid out for execution. Laconia ecoactivism was planned at GAC. The 5 are placed under house arrest awaiting trial by courts martial. Allege to being targeted based on national origins.
