The Intersection Between National Security and Social Protest
Dan Feidt, HongPong.com

NOTE: As someone who occasionally participates in protests involving military recruiting stations, (and occasionally photographs the events) I feel a twinge of anxiety from contemplating that the freedom of this basic peaceful political gesture is the subject of military intelligence interest, via the CounterIntelligence Field Activity and TALON systems. The systems of rationality that inform this military project resemble COINTELPRO and MKULTRA – domestic political interference from the highest political and military echelons.

Here is the intersection between national security and social protest - the gradient between the state and the society. Here is where dissent goes into the hardest core of force - the Pentagon.
