MANUFACTURED TERRORISM

TERRORISM? SO MANY VOLUNTEERING FOR SUICIDE, FOR WHAT?

Dorothy A. SeeseAugust 11, 2006 WWW.NewsWithViews.com

When someone is willing to give up his or her life to strike back at a perceived enemy for vengeance, we might write them off as just a loose nut who went over the edge. When either an organized group, or cells of radical believers in some religion or cause, begin recruiting numbers of individuals who allegedly are willing to blow themselves up the media labels them "terrorists" and that seems to explain their behavior, but in fact, it confuses the issue. We first have to define a terrorist, then we need to know what common bond these people have that enables them to willingly make the supreme sacrifice for their beliefs. For the general media, the answer is simple: label them "Islamic radicals" and that is all the explanation that is needed -- the boys are headed for a grand afterlife with Allah.
Then there is a peculiar non sequitur about these "radical Islamists" in that none of them have been identified as coming from the countries which the US and its ally, the UK, have militarily or verbally attacked to spread democracy and freedom -- e.g., Iraq, Iran or Syria. They come from Egypt, or they are British subjects, Arabians, and now presumably Pakistanis. If you think this is beginning to foul up the matrix of this "terrorism" game, you're right. Even the world's finest computers freeze at this strange code, and the human mind has to sound the TILT button.
Of further interest is that neither the US nor the UK have launched any counterstrikes against the native lands of these "terrorists" ... whether it be Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt or Morocco. Or Libya... remember Lockerbee!
Are there such radical Islamic bonds between individuals of the Arab world that folks are standing in line to become suicide bombers, willing to blow up the very airliners in which they are flying, to make a statement in behalf of their Arab or Islamic national friends, while the natives of those lands aren't involved in the plots? There is something a bit abnormal about that line of thinking. Al-Qaida? Does it have a roster of suicide-prone radical Islamists who are waiting to find a way to blow up themselves and a few hundred assorted airline passengers on behalf of Palestinians, Lebanese and Iraqis?
Is the president of Iran being encouraged to step up his nuclear program by a few handfuls of Islamic extremists who pay the supreme price to let him know they're with him, as they go on their way to join Allah?
Or does this whole outbreak of seemingly scheduled terror attacks simply point the finger, and the world's eyes, at nations who are different from us and hence, need to be liberated and reindoctrinated? Just as folks are beginning to feel safe flying in aluminum tubes with heavy engines through unpredictable weather while they breathe recycled but not disinfected air where one can exhale tuberculosis but not smoke, we get yet another bomb scare. Maximum coverage is given to the stringent prohibitions, precautions, arrests, inconveniences, and military presence by "our side" while little to nearly nothing is said about the less than illustrious "terrorists" who allegedly would have done the deed had our side not caught them.
Of course, all these terrorists are really jealous of our "freedom" in the US and UK, and the American public hands more of their former freedoms over to the government for safekeeping ... as in handing over the chickens to the fox to protect. Furthermore, they're folks who are so zealous for their enslaved condition, they're willing to die for it, while we "free" people cower at the very thought of death. (Keep the computer running, it's beginning to make strange sounds from the score of an old Hitchcock movie.)
Now airline passengers to and from Heathrow Airport (which is being avoided by the airlines with greater intensity than it would if bubonic had been discovered there) are tossing their shampoo and hair mousse into the airport trash cans under the watchful eye of the police. So what has been accomplished?
1. Americans and perhaps Brits are being acclimated to the environment of police surveillance and presence in formerly quiet public places where people once took their children for an afternoon of watching the planes take off and land. It used to be advertised on Phoenix radio that parents could spend little to nothing for an entire afternoon with their children by taking them to the airport, that is, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. That ceased on September 11, 2001.
2. The US has invoked "Code Red" for the first time, after a lot of orange alerts.
3. Our leadership, if besieged by enough code red situations, will be "justified" in invoking martial law and suspending habeas corpus and all remaining particles of the Bill of Rights, so that we Americans can feel safe.
4. We're always reminded that these foiled terrorists are Islamics while being informed that Islam is a religion of peace ... which besmacks of doublespeak at the highest levels of leadership.
5. The obvious cure for all this terrorism will eventually be unveiled and it will be to unite the planet under one world government, with one world elite leadership under one great leader, and one amalgamated race of humans who have one world religion of spirituality. Thus, all being one, we will have unity, and we will not have dissent. (Dissenters will disappear as quickly as a bullet can travel or cyanide can kill.)
It isn't amusing to me to visualize just how amused the Arab leaders must be at our panic in the streets and the failure of Americans in particular to defend their nation by throwing out the leaders under whose guidance all the events since Nine-Eleven have taken place. Oh yes, the documents were ready to be signed, the police were ready to be placed at their posts, the media were drooling for the next non-event with which to terrify the public, and otherwise normal folks are eager to surrender more freedoms for a safety no government can give. A real terrorist strikes without warning, and has a reason. Faux terrorists are caught so that what was prevented can never be proved, but is assumed as fact by government pronouncements and media coverage, particularly of events of the past.
I have observed that when all eyes are drawn to the concourses of airports, it is well to look down the halls of leadership's house and find out which are the war rooms. What is going on while we're distracted? If, IF the media would focus on some of those things about to come to pass, we might find out more about why we're having our attention riveted on a non-event.
But, even if you are drawn to suspect that all is not well, you will be very, very careful to whom you say such things, perhaps only to your spouse or your parent, because they may be listening. They may have your computer tapped, also your phones and faxes. You put on your American flag lapel pin just as some others put on their mark of allegiance in 1933 Germany. It symbolizes your patriotism, your loyalty to this country, whatever it is and is becoming.

You still need your American flag on Memorial Day, however, to remember those who died and the freedom that is also among the dead.
Those who "hate us for our freedom" should in fact love us, or at least pity us, for the brainless fools we have become under a leadership of tyrants equal to the world's worst. It isn't that the American people are evil as a whole, at least no more so than other sin-infected humans, but we're more deceived than most people about ourselves, our nation, and our leadership.

Some folks are indeed radicals, but it is doubtful that those religious fanatics make up an organized or even loosely affiliated cache of suicide bombers. Most of them are occupied fighting one another. We need to learn over again how to think, and figure out what makes sense even if we are afraid we will hate the answer.
And, we need to figure out what sign is referred to when we read "in hoc signo vinces."
