The following is the first in a series of articles extracted from a new report by CMD and DBA Press entitled “Dissent or Terror: How the Nation’s Counter Terrorism Apparatus, In Partnership With
 Corporate , Turned on .”

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a nationwide “counter terrorism” apparatus emerged. Components of this apparatus include the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), ODNI’s “” (NCTC), and state/regional “fusion centers.”

“Fusion centers,” by and large, are staffed with personnel working in “counter terrorism”/ “homeland security” units of municipal, county, state, tribal and federal law enforcement/”public safety”/”counter terrorism” agencies. To a large degree, the “counter terrorism” operations of municipal, county, state and tribal agencies engaged in “fusion centers” are financed through a number of U.S. DHS grant programs. more

Dan Sandini at Daylight Disinfectant recently posted video from the “May Day” protests in , and one of them alarmingly shows a group of young individuals dancing around a golden calf.

Sandini’s description of the video reads:

Warning:  Video can not be “unseen.”  ”It is useless to resist it,” or so go the lyrics.  On May 1 2013, dragged an idol of a Golden Bull down to O’Bryant Square.

Dressed as Egyptian belly dancers they then proceeded to sing and dance about it.  You just can’t make this stuff up folks.  About three minutes 34 seconds of you life that you can’t get back.

Here are a few screen shots from the clip:

TheBlaze spoke with Sandini to get more information.

“I was kinda flabbergasted at it,” he said of the scene.  “I really thought that it’s quite ironic that a lot of what we see going on around us now is not a very positive thing for society, and if you bring this back to the golden calf with Moses, I thought, isn’t that weird.  I wonder if they see that in their own display, that they’re mimicking that.”

If you look closely at the calf, you can see that the logos of companies like and Walmart are taped to its base.  Coupled with the dollar signs on the dancers’ headdresses, it’s also possible they were trying to imply it’s the ​capitalists​ who are worshiping the golden calf.

Back in 2011, protesters also marched a likeness of a golden calf they called “greed” into .

“It’s a false idol, just as much as the bull has been a false idol for so many of us for so long,” protester Ed Needham reportedly explained.
