Multidimensional food for thought...
If you were 4 years old when 9/11 occurred in 2001, then you’re now old enough to enlist and fight in the war on terror. Recent geo-political events suggest that this conflict may endure for some generations to come, so, regretfully, your children may also get to participate. The war on terrorism is apparently part of our culture and part of our lives now.
“The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for peace in our time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are at war now — with somebody — and we will stay at war with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives. It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy.” ~Hunter S. Thompson
By no means a prophet, Hunter S. Thompson was just an eccentric observer with a knack for connecting the dots between political events and the ongoing mainstream media narrative that supports and manufactures consent for the oligarchy. When taken at face value, the terror script is indeed a rather convincing and motivating story, but when you dismantle the official fiction and bring the hidden pieces into the picture, the truth about the war on terror is just too heavy for conscious people to ignore any longer.
As it persists, international terrorism is guaranteed to increase, and as time goes by, we learn more and more about the real reasons why we’ve been forced into this apocalyptic conflict. After nearly 15 years of kicking down doors, drone bombing villagers, shattering societies, and mourning our own senselessly dead, here are 6 things we now know for sure about the war on terrorism.
“The first casualty when war comes is truth.” – Hiram W. Johnson
1.) The war on terror was never about ensuring the security of Americans at home or abroad, nor was the current situation the result of foreign policy blunders
The conflict was engineered from the onset to break up, destroy and destabilize most of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa. The war on terrorism is about control of oil, about conquering national economies and turning them over to ‘foreign investors,’ about demonizing Muslim nations, about creating a lawless territory in which to develop Western controlled mercenary armies like ISIS, about protecting Israel’s interests in the region, about destabilizing Europe, about opening access to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, and about punishing those nations which dared to defy the international banking cartel by moving to avert the petro-dollar.
The war on terrorism is also about radically altering the legal framework of Western governments to allow for greater surveillance, control and the militarization of once free societies. The aim is to continually broaden the definition of terrorism so that any act of defiance against the state or the corporate oligarchy, whether advocating for human rights, the environment, or any other issue of popular concern, can be persecuted without due process. The war on terror will be used to target American citizens who support the idea of limited government and strive to maintain the protections afforded by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States of America.
Additionally, the war on terror is about creating new markets for the security industry and opening steady income streams for war profiteers and arms manufacturers, so that a relative minority can profit heavily from the continuance of the war and the waste, swindling and destruction involved.
2.) The war on terror doesn’t stop terror, because it is terror
The Western nations most heavily invested in the war on terror are also the nations most heavily involved in global arms trading, which gives advanced weaponry to any despotic tin pot dictator with an oilfield. And France just happens to be the world’s number one exporter of arms per capita. The Western ‘coalition’ regularly kills civilians in other nations directly and indirectly, which is in and of itself a very real type of terrorism.
“You cannot have freedom or peace in a country whose government is engaged in the global wholesale of advanced military arms and weaponry to national governments.” ~Stefan Molyneux
Regional arms sales by the UK.
3.) Our worst terrorist enemies are the products of government, the military industrial complex and Western intelligence agencies
The Mujahideen was originally organized, funded, trained and supplied by the CIA to oppose the Soviet Union. The Mujahideen became Al Qaeda with the assistance of Saudi Arabia and American training, arms and financial aid. Al Qaeda has morphed into, or been replaced with ISIS, who is the creation of the military industrial complex, the US, Israel, the UK and France, and is supported by some 40 other nations who knowingly trade and deal with ISIS.
“They tax you in order to create weapons to sell to foreigners to attack you.” ~Stefan Molyneux
ISIS, the new Islamic Caliphate as they call it, is the most barbaric, cruel and inhumane social movement to come about in some number of centuries, perhaps even a millenia or more. ISIS was given birth and nurtured into being by the West, and now, primarily Muslim people are suffering horribly in their own homelands while the war intensifies and extends into Europe in acts of urban terrorism.
4.) The mainstream media plays a crucial role in perpetuating the war on terrorism
The primary role of the corporate-owned and government-controlled mainstream media is to transform selected acts of terror into enduring symbols that can be used again and again to reinforce the war on terror narrative. Their secondary role is to keep the level of tension and stress as high as possible by ceaselessly over-reacting to non-events and over-reporting on non-issues, thereby keeping the public captivated and hypnotized by an ongoing drama so that when a major event does occur it has the greatest possible psychological impact.
Reporting on global terrorism is duplicitous and hypocritical because certain events have more franchise than others in influencing public support for government policy changes and military actions. In the practical world of marketing, French flags pictured draped over national monuments at night-time will go much further in promoting the war on terror than Kenyan flags draped over African monuments.
The media uses shock and awe in a war of psychological attrition against the public. The objective is to incapacitate and sideline people from participating in dissent, while scaring people into acquiescence to any imposed government authority or security measures.
5.) State-sponsored False flag attacks still work to achieve political objectives
There is a tremendous continual international effort underway to expose the true facts behind each new terror attack, terror plot, and major government lie. The alternative media is growing in reach and effectiveness, however, the reality is that the Hegelian dialectic of problem, reaction, solution still works on a shell-shocked public.
6.) Suicide is more deadly to our soldiers than any terrorist organization
The war on terrorism represents the first time in US history that suicide has been the leading cause of death of US soldiers. The psychological impact of this type of conflict is unique and the suicide rate of returning soldiers may be our best evidence that the war is unwinnable.
Final Thoughts
The goal of the war on terror is transform people into willing participants in chaos, mayhem and murder, or to turn them into collateral damage. Nobody is born a terrorist, and we are all being set up as dispensable pawns in an orchestrated clash of civilizations.
The truth is out there. When you cut through the propaganda, emotional triggers, and the divisive nature of discourse today, what’s left is the truth that the war on terror is something that we must end. The rise in global consciousness and our willingness to speak out may be our only hope.

There was a bonus outcry all over the world from Australia to UK. But George Bush decided to litsen to some few, vague individuals and go in stark contrast to pple's voice!! You see, this exactly what I am saying. You have all the freedom to say and they have all the veto to decide what they want! Then you go bragging that you have freedom of speech? Of what use is a speech that is never acted upon? Of what use is a freedom to move only upto the fence of the prison?
Of course you have been taught that your power is inherent in your ability to fire Bush off the office ( but you dodn't have any right to fire his vague advisers). That if you exchange presidents like under pants, you will succeed. But there George came, like farther-like son. Then Obama came,..., the solution is not to change people but to change minds, systems, beleifs, policies etc. Each fool will come at a time, peeing his own unique urine. Man is always a man. You can exchange everyone on earth in that office and fail!
yep...this is the point....got to change our minds to change the system..
~Yes!!!... & the changes we are facing still remain more radical than most dare to imagine, yet we find ourselves at a Spiritual tipping point where we can no longer remain 'asleep'. As biophysical extensions of the Gaian-Mind, we are being asked to r e m e m b e r who we really are... not bloodthirsty war mongers, intent on destroying the planet, but rather 'Spiritual Beings having a Human experience'. We are being asked to swim in the deep end of the pool... to let go of the illusions of control, & to trust the Gaian, clarion call to Awaken!... ready or not, bidden or unbidden, the time to embrace Unity-Consciousess (our true origin) is Now! Always has been ;-) ~InLight555

“The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse.”... “It's clearly a crisis of two things: of Consciousness and conditioning. We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.” ~Terence McKenna
When I feel the world I can feel the fear and hate coming from the USA...not everyone, but there is a lot of it there. Over the past few days when I think of the ISIL I feel a great welling up of compassion for the pain I feel coming from this area....there is a great suffering there. I can feel how these new airstrikes have killed so many innocent civilians,,,women, children and babies. The people are traumatized and in grief. Of course, I knew this since the beginning of the bombing in Afghanistan....but lately I really feel it in my heart. It is a story the western media never tells. What crimes against humanity have been committed for money and power by a few....``what yòu do to the least of them you do to me.``
When is terrorism not called terrorism?...when we do it.. It is time to shine the light on the clowns in the closet and tell them they are not welcome here anymore. Time to wake ourselves up, empower ourselves and expand our consciousness by expanding our heart..
Now, lets think about this considering that a socialist can as well be thought of as a huge companies whose citizens are all employees and/or shareholders. Then the difference btwn a socialist and a capitalist in terms of freedom of speech is trivial in important matters.
It is important to note that what counts is more of the ability of pple's speeches to influence important decisions than mere freedom to shout BS and other nonissues. In what counts, America might as well score lesser than China! Say stupid things, and no one realy bothers to deny you freedom. But say something that can change to course of human history, and youl be systematically silenced. Such is how it was done to Alton Harp.
You seem to have a clear understanding of what is important in a society. There is no limitations on free speech in socialism. Limitations on speech have to do with how repressive the government is no matter which economic system they use. Russia has a lot of free speech, I watch the Russian and Chinese news stations most days....they both criticise the government and examine government policies.
How true.....now if I can just get some of my American friends to understand this....
