The War on Terror is a Sham
The Answer
Proponents of the U.S.-led "War On Terror" are mentally ill. Why? Well for one it is because they do not have the slightest clue what it is they are talking about. Also because the 'war on terror' is a complete sham, hoax and fraud with the most hypocritical connotation. Firstly, the United States in its bloody and brutal history, has routinely supported and carried out terrorism on its enemies and on innocent people whom it wanted to make enemies out of for political and economic gain. The United States has waged war in some 30 countries, dropped thousands of bombs on the people of those thirty countries, has employed nuclear, chemical and biological weapons in various conflicts, has endeavored to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, has or has attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders, has quashed and suppressed dozens of legitimate nationalist/social movements all around the world, has caused the deaths of upwards of ten million people since WW2 via military invasions/interventions, coup d'etats, backing/supporting of right-wing dictators, arming/training/financing the terror and torture squads controlled by those dictators, CIA covert operations, and hundreds of terrorist provocations. The U.S. is the leading terrorist state in the world. So the claim that the U.S. is now leading a fight against terrorism, when it is the biggest state-sponsor of terrorism and without having owned up to its own terrorism, is the biggest hypocrisy in modern history. For evidence of this wicked U.S. behavior read Killing Hope and Rogue State by William Blum.
The 'war on terror' can be said to be the ideological replacement of the "war on communism" with the collapse of the Soviet Union. After WW2, the U.S. engaged in a forty year "cold war" with the Soviet Union. "Fighting communism" was the ideological excuse used to disguise American imperialism and convince the American people that the foreign policy aims of the US government were noble instead of a series of nefarious wealth & empire building endeavors. Is it any coincidence that immediately after the fall of the soviet union, with US military and defense budgets at risk of serious decline, and possible disintegration, that the threat of "Islamic terrorism" magically appeared out of nowhere and was being relentlessly hyped in the media? No it is not a coincidence, it is yet another contrivance of the Military-Industrial-Complex to assert its importance, sustain its empire and continue its worldwide machinations. "Fighting terrorism" is the new rationale for U.S. imperialism, a petty excuse and complete contrivance that will be used to convince the population of the United States that the MIC and the wars it continually instigates, are necessary. The U.S. always needs an enemy to sustain the empire, so they invent them.
"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." (Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard, p. 211)
There is no worldwide threat of "Islamic terrorism"; there never was, and there never will be. In fact, Islamic terrorism, as described by the West and the Western media, is a complete fabrication -- it doesn't exist. There is no real enemy. It is fallacious myth, a fictional concoction of the US-British-Israeli military intelligence community, and Western media propaganda outlets. Nothing you hear about terrorism on television and in mainstream media is true. Don't believe a word of it. If anti-American terrorists exist, it is because they are reacting to the horrible injustices done to them, their countries and people by US imperialism, and US-backed Israeli imperialism, not some "radical ideology" justified by random out-of-context Qu'ranic verses. That idea, which is put forth by Western governments and vulgar media talking heads, is total nonsense. With that being said, large-scale terrorism attributed to 'Muslim terrorists' is mostly fiction. For example, the infamous 'Al Qaeda' group that everyone knows about via relentless media coverage is a not a real group at all -- it is wholly a concoction of Western intelligence agencies. To put it best 'Al Qaeda' is a complex conglomeration of dupes, patsies, agents and double agents knowingly. and sometimes unknowingly, working under the auspices of US, British and Israeli intelligence -- a sort of "plausible deniability" controlled asset of the West. The group itself, and supposed leader Osama Bin Laden, was created by the CIA in 1979 as a proxy rebel force used to overthrow the Marxist pro-Soviet regime in Kabul (an equivalent example would be the CIA-backed "Contras" in Nicaragua of Iran-Contra fame). The "Mujahideen", as the Arab Afghan rebels were known then, was a CIA cold-war creation and asset that was successfully used to induce a soviet intervention in Afghanistan, and bog down the Red Army in their very own "Vietnam" which greatly contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Bin Laden was the CIA's main asset and coincidently was crucial in helping the Americans defeat communism! Suddenly, a few years after the fall of the Soviet Union Osama Bin Laden was back on the rader as America's new makeshift "enemy of the week" and was accredited with all the evil in the world, from the bombing of the US Embassy's in Africa, the USS Cole bombing, the 1993 WTC bombing, and of course 9/11.
This is what Bin Laden himself said about these US accusations and why the US was now targeting him in a relentless demonization/propaganda campaign:
"...there are intelligence agencies in the U.S., which require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This [funding issue] was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that the budget of these agencies has been in danger. They needed an enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usama and Taleban and then this incident [9/11] happened."[Bin Laden 09/29/01]
The truth is Bin Laden was not behind any of these events, none at all. In reality Bin Laden is just an Islamic preacher with a small band of followers. The evidence for genuine "Al Qaeda" involvement in any of those incidents is slim if not non-existent. Bin Laden does not have the money, organization or military capability to pull off a trans-national, large-scale attacks, especially on the United States whose military defense budget is more than all the countries in the world combined. I mean, think about it for a second... the United States is the world's only super-power, it has 16 spy agencies that harvest $50 billion worth of resources and manpower each year -- not to mention billion dollar air, naval and land defense technology and organizations like NORAD, the National Guard, the US Navy, Air-force, etc. How in the world does a few cave-dwelling Arabs, with no military expertise, no previous precedents of attacks beyond a producing a few dozen casualties -- maybe a little monkey-bar training and pseudo-karate moves -- plan and execute an operation as highly complex & sophisticated as 9/11 (which involved the simultaneous hijacking of four commercial jets (an almost impossible feat in itself), the evasion of US air defense for 2 hours (another impossible feat), and the hitting of 3 out of 4 high-precision targets -- including the most protected building on earth, the Pentagon (uber impossible feat)) without the US interrupting, or even attempting to interrupt the plot at any moment? The answer: they couldn't in a million years. To suggest that they could and that "the great" U.S. was caught by surprise is a bad joke at best.
In most instances these terrorist incidents and subsequent trials involve patsies, double agents, fall guys, phony "claims of responsibility", media-peddled disinformation, false/planted evidence, kangaroo courts, false convictions and full-scale cover-ups by the US and/or other Western federal governments. There are enormous anomalies and discrepancies in all of the terrorist events accredited to Al Qaeda, every single one. In fact, in my opinion, and in all cases, the evidence shows that US, British and Israeli intelligence were behind every major terror attack on Western soil -- every last one. These are intelligence black-ops -- black propaganda efforts designed to demonize the Muslim peoples whom the American empire has targeted for empirical and economic interests (i.e. Islamic countries have all the oil). Whenever the US wants to fulfill an imperialist objective (either a full scale invasion to secure resources for American corporations or smaller covert-ops to put down resistance movements that threaten the rule of US-backed puppet dictators) magically a "terrorist incident" occurs to fall perfectly in their lap providing the necessary justification for their pre-planned actions! For example, the "shoe bomber", the "underwear bomber", the "times-square bomber", and so on. Amazingly, these mindless patsies were "connected" back to some middle-eastern group operating in a country which the US was already conducting covert operations in, and was looking to further expand their presence in the country -- oftentimes to secure a resource, protect an American corporation or put down a rebellion against a US-backed puppet dictator such as Ali Abdullah Salleh in Yemen, or Husni Mubarak in Egypt. Of course the controlled propaganda-peddling Western media falsely labels these freedom fighters and nationalist movements fighting against their oppressive US-backed governments, "Al Qaeda terrorists". It's just vulgar propaganda.
To get the American people behind a full-scale invasion of a foreign country with today's high standards for human rights, the black-op terrorist event has to produce many casualties. For a smaller presence and increased support for expanding a covert-action in a foreign country the contrived "terrorist incident" will likely be "foiled" or "botched" with no casualties, but will still be sufficient in scaring the American/British/Western people. The general US populace has to be kept in line with the thinking that these "Islamic terrorists" are real and dangerous and are plotting attacks constantly. Thus these "evil terrorists" need to be "destroyed" by the mighty American military in whichever cave they lurk before they can strike the "poor, innocent, helpless" citizens of the US. Thus the birth of the "preemptive" strike (i.e. attacking and killing someone with the excuse that they might have attacked you if you hadn't killed them first; LOL!) These phony terror incidents are also fertile ground for tyrannical rollbacks in civil-liberties, increased homeland surveillance/spying on civilians, increased "counter-terror" budgets for spy agencies, and also financial benefit for "security" companies that often get lucrative government or private sector contracts following an incident. For example after the Christmas Day "undie-bomber" plot was (purposely) botched, American and Israeli companies started peddling the "full body scanners" to be implemented in airports worldwide which produced billions of dollars in profit. It's a big, dirty money-making, empire-building sham!
I think it should be clear by this point in the article that terrorism is a total fabrication and tool used by imperial regimes. Terror black-ops are financed by the drug and arms trafficking operations conduced by US and Israeli spy agencies. I don't have the time or patience to individually make the case that a particular terror event was a black-op conducted by US-Israeli intel (you can do that research on your own), but rest assured the research supports that among them include the 1993 WTC bombing, US embassy bombings in Africa, Lockerbie, USS Cole, 9/11, 7/7 in London, 3/11 Madrid train bombings, both the "shoe & underwear" bombers, many of the Zarqawi style explosions in Iraq, and so on. Qui Bono -- who benefits? If it benefits the West, it's done by the west, end of story.
