ANSWERING PHIL GERALDI


The "terrorism" ruse is for the Petrodollar bankers.
It's for the banking houses.
It was a necessary outcome of Nixon tossing the gold-backed dollar:
http://www.petrodollar.info/indexp2.html

It was convenient to adopt Israel's issue with counterterrorism.
(Israelis are the terrorists; when Arabs fought back, they
were called terrorists.)

These energy wars were completely predictable as was the global
recession and increased pollution. So predictable were they, that
it was predictable that we would even be worshipping the bombs:

There really are no terrorists other than the Israeli-UK-US Axis of
Evil. Anyone who believes this bullshit or rather, who CHOOSES to
believe
it, like the fairy-ass fake machowannabees in uniform [(cops, DCF
"workers")
who either have no dicks or no morals, Plus (no brains)] and the fag-
boy
idiot "judges"
http://www.actionlyme.org/VIKING_INTERVIEWS.htm
and even more importantly, the fag-boy idiot MDs who either say
nothing about
the general corruption or play along with it to avoid malpractice
lawsuits
http://www.actionlyme.org/PENISBITERDOCS.htm
and their fairy-ass brainless cohorts (all of psychiatry, the self-
alleged
brain and morality experts and co-perjuring Skull-And-Boner cult-like
fools:
http://www.actionlyme.org/MARCUS_DANGEROUS_INCOMPETENCE.htm

[Psychiatry is like Skull and Bones; in order to become a psychiatrist
one must undergo the group jerking off thing, called psychoanalysis,
which
serves to cement their co-perjuring allegiance to each other.]

... Anyone who chooses to believe this terrorism bullshit have either
some
$elf-$erving, treacherous loyalty to it, or just plain don't give a
shit.

In a word, they're pukes.
Wishy-washy.
Not real men.

America has no future.

It will be these faggot cops who everyone needs to arm themselves
against,
since they're the ones who, through all the illegal spying, know who
has what potable and other wealth. And as we know, cops are not
averse
to putting on sky-masks (again, as a group of macho-wannabe
circlejerkers),
and terrorizing neighborhoods:

WATCH FORMER NORWALK CT MAYOR SPEAK ABOUT COPS ABDUCTING CITIZENS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmdqiUE7Gfw


You don't see any real leadership anywhere. I mean, you can't even
get the majority of MDs to even tell the truth or bother to
investigate
whether or not the idea that Relapsing Fever and syphilis were never
diseases:
http://www.actionlyme.org/RICOCHRON.htm
could possibly be true.

There has never been published, by any MD in America, that Lyme
behaves
like a Relapsing Fever organism, except by Allen Steere:
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=3531237

So, that I could be a "terrorist" for re-reporting that to the FDA
vaccine
committee only to have my kids kidnapped because a dickless,
spineless,
moron of a sex-obsessed moron did not want to be sued for malpractice
http://www.actionlyme.org/andersonpenisbiter.htm
is just the tip of the iceberg of what awaits the rest of you until
that
time that the cops start breaking down your doors in sky-masks as a
gang, to steal whatever, because there is no leadership in America.

Especially not among the men.

That's the real deal about "terrorism." It's something for fags
and
losers to hang on to, like racism.


It's funny in a way.

Satisfying for *women* to watch, if you know what I mean.

It was almost as if we *HAD* to see this "terrorism" and 9/11
bullshit fly, because it was time to cast in bronze the fact
that Mr. Penis himself was the icon of cowardice.

I sure will never see it any other way.

Feeding on Fear

Philip Giraldi

The al-Qaeda attacks on New York City and the Pentagon on Sept. 11,
2001, truly
changed the United States, and not for the better. National
pathologies and suppressed
xenophobia have been unleashed as never before, fanned by the
belligerent rhetoric
coming out of Washington and from the U.S. media. As James Madison put
it, "If
tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of
fighting a
foreign enemy." That enemy has been terrorism.

It is arguable that nearly all the changes that have taken place in
the United States
over the past seven years have been driven by the fear of terrorism,
which has been
routinely exploited by politicians of both parties in pursuit of
various objectives.
As a result, today's United States would be unrecognizable to the
Founding Fathers.
Americans now have to live with persistent government monitoring of
their private
lives, as exemplified by a huge and growing terrorist screening
database that appears
in various manifestations. The notorious no-fly list has a million
entries, including
more than 400,000 names of individuals, many of them U.S. citizens.
The information
on the list is secret and cannot be challenged.

And then there are the two versions of the PATRIOT Act and the
Military Commissions
Act, all of which combine to strip the liberties that Americans have
traditionally
enjoyed, including the right to associate freely, to be free from
arbitrary detention
or harassment, and to enjoy privacy in their personal affairs. The FBI
has exploited
its ability to investigate willy-nilly by issuing more than 30,000
National Security
Letters annually, letters that compel the recipient to provide
information on a
target without any judicial oversight or due process. To those who
argue that the
government has not used its enhanced powers abusively to corrupt the
judicial system,
one need only point to the cases of José Padilla and Sami al-Arian,
both of whom
were detained without cause and held for years in extralegal limbo.
Padilla may
have been tortured to force him to confess. When the government was
unable to convict
him on terrorism charges, it was reduced to charging him with
conspiracy and making
its case based not on what he had actually said or done but on
ludicrous testimony
that he had been speaking in code-words to conceal his activities.

Overseas, the fear of terrorism has produced nothing but bad results.
The United
States has bullied friends and allies to enlist in a Manichean crusade
to rid the
world of terrorists. Some of the terrorists are more properly national
liberation
movements, like Hezbollah and Hamas, but Washington's policy of one-
size-fits-all
means that there has been no attempt to divide and conquer through
understanding
that there are legitimate grievances and that all of the groups that
the U.S. labels
as terrorist are not the same. Fighting terrorism has been the
justification of
a series of disastrous wars, starting with Afghanistan and continuing
with Iraq.
It may yet result in a third and even a fourth war in Asia, against
Iran and Syria,
as some of the most persistent charges made against those countries by
the U.S.
government and media is that they are supporting terrorists.

Terrorism and terrorists were cited repeatedly in soundbites at both
the Democratic
and Republican conventions and by every candidate, but there never was
any serious
discussion of the problem of terrorism per se, so it probably would be
useful at
this point to look at a balance sheet on the issue. There has been no
terrorist
attack in the United States since 9/11. That is surely somewhat due to
improved
border security and visa control that makes it more difficult for
foreign terrorists
to enter the country, but it might also be because there appears to be
little sympathy
for terrorist movements among Muslims living in the United States.
There are many
arrests on terrorism charges every year in the U.S., but most of the
cases are budget-driven
as there is a lot of money available to investigate "terrorists." It
is
also career-enhancing for a law enforcement officer to make a
terrorist case arrest.
Most of the arrests are, however, plea-bargained into immigration
offenses or quietly
dropped. The successful prosecutions have been ridiculous, in many
cases aided and
abetted by an "informant" inserted in the group who may have served as
a catalyst for proposed terrorist activity. The FBI net has swept up
pizza delivery
men, landscapers, truck drivers, and the unemployed. Not a single
alleged terrorist
arrested and convicted in the United States has had the actual
capability to carry
out an act of terrorism.

In spite of the fact that there is little or no evidence of terrorists
actually
operating inside the U.S., the federal government is spending in the
neighborhood
of $100 billion per year in its war against terrorism. Considerable
sums are also
being spent by state and local governments and the private sector. If
one assumes
that there are something like 5,000 full-time terrorists scattered
around the world,
that works out to $40 million per terrorist per year from the federal
government
alone. Obviously, there is a lack of any kind of accountability in the
process.
That lack of efficiency is there by design, as the terrorism business
keeps many
people employed, both among the contractors who feed off the budgets
and the bureaucrats
who man the vast, new anti-terrorism infrastructure. As the terrorism
threat in
the United States at least appears to be hugely overstated, isn't it
time to
cut those numbers down to size? Europe had a major terrorism problem
in the 1970s
and 1980s that was defeated by superior police and intelligence work
backed up by
a judicial system prepared to try suspects without any wholesale
dismantling of
civil liberties. Terrorists were treated as the criminals they were,
arrested, and
send to jail. More recently, the last terrorist groups in Europe, ETA
and the IRA,
have withered away and are on their last legs, all due to effective
intelligence
and police work. If there are terrorists in the United States, they
should have
been handled in the same way, not through the creation of a vast,
ineffective, and
enormously expensive bureaucracy that erodes the rights of every
citizen.

And then there is the terrorism problem overseas, the grandiose
"global war
on terrorism," which the United States has undertaken as if the rest
of the
world had agreed that an international policeman was either desirable
or necessary.
U.S. heavyhandedness over the past seven years has created more
terrorists than
it has killed or captured, but many of the terrorists are no longer
committed ideologues.
Many resort to terror to resist the occupation of their countries
while others seek
revenge for the slaughter of family and friends in the numerous cases
of collateral
damage that have resulted from the U.S. industrialized military
approach to defeat
terrorism. Afghanistan is truly in danger of becoming a narco-state
run by terrorists,
but, Afghanistan aside, no country wants to have terrorists in their
midst, and
most have taken effective steps to deny them sanctuary and funding.
This has forced
terrorists to morph into national and local groups that no longer have
the resources
or reach of a central organization like al-Qaeda once had. The attacks
in London
and Madrid were carried out by local people using their own resources.
This makes
it more difficult to detect the terrorists as they are not reliant on
money or associates
from outside, but it also makes it possible to effectively deal with
the problem
locally on a case-by-case basis using law enforcement and judicial
resources.

Hyping the fear of terrorism should be eliminated from our political
discourse.
Terrorism is undeniably a global problem, but it cannot destroy the
United States
unless we Americans do it to ourselves by overreacting to the threat.
The terrorist
menace has been grossly overstated for political reasons and because
it is good
business for the many entities that would have no other raison d'être.
It is
time to make terrorism go away. Constantly citing the terrorist
problem empowers
the terrorists by giving them free publicity and making them appear to
be Third
World Robin Hoods. It also is a distraction, making it more difficult
to discern
the simple and historically proven measures that can be taken to
identify, arrest,
and imprison terrorists as the criminals that they truly are.
