an attempt to criminalize the movement. In the wake of 9-11, Brazilian media tended to describe the MST as "terrorist", lumping it together loosely with various historical and mediatic happenings in keeping with an international post-9-11 trend to relegate any political movement against existing globalization to beyond the pale and outside the boundaries of permissible political discourse. The MST assumes its activities are continuously surveilled by military intelligence. Various intelligence organs, Brazilian and foreign, assume a relationship between the MST and various terrorist groups. The MST is regarded as a source of "civil unrest". A parliamentary inquiry commission where landowner-friendly congressmen held a majority classified the MST's activities as terrorism in late 2005, and the MST itself as a criminal organization. However, its report met with no support from the PT members of the commission, and a senator ripped it up before TV cameras, saying that those who voted for it were "accomplices of murder, people who use slave labor, who embezzle land illegally". Nevertheless, based on this report, a bill presented to the Chamber of Deputies in 2006 by Congressman Abelardo Lupion (Democrats- Paraná), proposed making "invading others' property with the end of pressuring the government" a terrorist action and therefore a heinous crime. A "heinous" crime in Brazilian law is a felony, designated as such in a 1990 Brazilian law, and those accused of committing them are ineligible for pretrial release.

Eucalyptus, a non-native plant, has been blamed for environmental degradation in northeastern Brazil, as well as reducing the availability of land for small agricultural production, called by some "cornering" producers (encurralados pelo eucalipto). In 2011, Veja described such activities as plain theft of eucalyptus wood, quoting an estimate from the state's military police that 3,000 people earned a living in Southern Bahia from theft of wood. In 2008 a group of public attorneys from Rio Grande do Sul working with the state's military police issued a report charging the MST with collusion with international terrorist groups. The report is used in state courts, according to Amnesty International, to justify eviction orders carried out by the police with what "excessive use of force". The group of attorneys made public a previously
