“Terrorism”
Excerpt, minor edit, re-reporting by
Carolyn Bennett
“Global awakening to false-flag terrorism” ─ Barrett
“For better or worse,” Dr. Barrett writes, “there are very
few actual anti-government terrorists. Virtually all terrorism is committed by governments.”

Terrorism (foreign relations)
“Let us take this from the top and define our terms,” Barrett
writes. “‘Terrorism’ means ‘using violence against civilians to create fear for
political purposes.’
“Who does that?” he asks; who has the motivation to do it?”
And answers: “Only governments.
…Governments terrorize the citizens
of countries they invade and occupy.
The United States, for example, murdered
many millions of Vietnamese citizens in a doomed attempt to terrorize them into
submission.
Indonesia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and
many other places─ DITTO.
This is real terrorism - terrorism on a massive, genocidal
scale.
Terrorism (domestic affairs)
“…The very same governments,” Barrett writes, “also
terrorize their own citizens - more subtly, and on a smaller scale.
Within the United States,
militarized police forces terrorize African-American communities. Almost every
day, an African-American is extra-judicially executed by police.
White Americans are terrorized in a
sneakier, less brutal fashion: They are fed a diet of violence and
fear-mongering propaganda by the media. Those who break out of the fear bubble,
and go to Occupy demonstrations, may have their skulls smashed by a police
officer’s club.

‘The Power of Nightmares,’” Barrett references a British
Broadcasting feature, “documents the fact that the whole concept of the ‘terrorist
threat’ was invented out of whole cloth by Western governments: there is no
actual group called al-Qaeda and no such thing as any significant
anti-government terrorism.”
Contrived and
convenient Al-Qaeda
“‘Al-Qaeda’” he defines as “the name of a ragged hodge-podge
of dupes and mercenaries [who] ─
Terrorize Syrians on behalf of the
U. S. and Israeli governments and
Terrorize Americans on behalf of
the U.S. and Israeli governments.

“False-flag
terrorism
”Barrett says, “is designed to make citizens willingly
surrender their liberty, their money, their power ─ and the lives of their
children.”
|
The term ‘false flag’ (Wikipedia) originates in naval
warfare where a flag other than the belligerent’s true battle flag is used as a
ruse de guerre (subterfuge, trick, deception
of war) before engaging an enemy

“
|
False flag (or black flag) describes covert military or
paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations
appear as though they are being carried out by other entities, groups or
nations than those who actually planned and executed them.
“Operations carried during peace-time by civilian organizations
as well as covert government agencies may, by extension, be called false flag
operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind an operation.”

arrett concludes that the “great global awakening” to or all-round
awareness of “false-flag terrorism” is an opportunity to uproot “the old
paradigm of rule by fear and to work for a better world – a world of fearless
people ruled by wisdom and compassion.”

Wikipedia-defined Al-Qaeda
Excerpt
Al-Qaeda “has been designated as a ‘terrorist’ organization
by the United Nations Security Council (editor’
insert: comprised of five permanent, inordinately powered members:
China, France, the United States, United Kingdom and Russia); NATO (editor’ insert: U.S. founded), the
European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and various other
countries.
“Al-Qaeda (pron.: /ælˈkaɪdə/ al-KY-də; Arabic: القاعدة
al-qāʿidah, Arabic: [ælqɑːʕɪdɐ], translation: ‘The Base’ and alternatively
spelled al-Qaida and sometimes al-Qa'ida) is a global militant Islamist
organization operating as a network comprising both a multinational, stateless
army and a radical Sunni Muslim movement calling for global Jihad and a strict
interpretation of sharia law.” It was “founded by Osama bin Laden at some point
between August 1988 and late 1989, with its origins being traceable to the
Soviet War in Afghanistan.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda
“Terrorism (or black flag) describes covert military or
paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations
appear as though they are being carried out by other entities, groups or
nations than those who actually planned and executed them.
“Operations carried during peace-time by civilian organizations
as well as covert government agencies may, by extension, be called false flag
operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind an operation.
“The name ‘false flag’ has its origins in naval warfare
where the use of a flag other than the belligerent’s true battle flag as a ruse
de guerre, before engaging an enemy, has long been acceptable.
“Such operations are also acceptable in certain
circumstances in land warfare to deceive enemies in similar ways providing that
the deception is not perfidious [disloyal (?)]; and all such deceptions are
discarded before opening fire upon the enemy.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag

“Al -CIA.-eda says it would use Pakistani nuclear weapons,” June
23, 2009 by POPEYE, Filed under False Flag Terrorism”: “Editors note: Isn’t it interesting how al Qaeda always pops
up when either of the last two presidents needs an excuse to send the middle
class off to die in a … war, and take away even more of your civil
liberties. All while the sheep cheer
them on for protecting this country from further attacks. … http://www.federaljack.com/al-c-i-a-eda-says-it-would-use-pakistani-nuclear-weapons/

“(MR. CONSERVATIVE)
History has shown us that one of the most dangerous things an individual
can have in a totalitarian state is an opinion. In Hitler’s German, Mao’s
China, or Stalin’s Soviet Union, it was always the same – have an opinion, go
to jail.
“What’s completely discouraging is that America is starting
to be the same kind of state. People who are using their First Amendment free
speech rights to raise important issues are increasingly finding themselves
carted off to jail, or running the risk that their children will be wrenched
from their arms and placed into the state system.
A New Jersey mother discovered that
when she was arrested after reading the Constitution at a public meeting; and
A New Jersey father discovered it
when he was interrogated and police threatened to remove his children after he
posted a picture of his glowingly proud son with a hunting rifle. …
Now, a disabled grandfather in
Centerville, Iowa, has made the same terrible discovery — in today’s American,
if you have an opinion, you can go to jail.…” http://www.federaljack.com/index.php?s=terrorism
