This should come as no surprise. Most political movements get monitored by these institutions. The civil rights movement was as well. Any effort to criticize establishment power is naturally met with resistance.

That's par for the course for Naomi Wolf. Her writings are pretty hard to read.

Interestingly enough the entire section on North Carolina is almost entirely redacted.

Sounds like some good, old-fashioned capitalism to me.
