Why and How "The Global War On Terror" Is A Lie

by ron corvus

Unfortunately, most Americans believe in prosecuting the "Global War On Terror." The MSM has beat it into the hearts and minds of Americans non-stop, 24/7/365 since 9/11. Even the most so-called "liberals" believe in prosecuting the "Global War On Terror." Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, etc., all rightfully bash Bush, but snap to attention instantly when anyone charges them: "Do you want to win this 'War On Terror?' Or not? Do you want al Qaeda to win the 'Global War On Terror?'"

Hillary, Obama and Edwards ALL bash Bush and his warmongering self, but gladly and dutifully support the unlawful, unconstitutional Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes and subsequent military occupations. All the Republican candidates and Hillary, Obama and Edwards believe the U.S. government has the exclusive right to execute unprovoked, unilateral military strikes against anyone who the U.S. government deems a "terrorist threat." This is a bi-partisan belief amongst all politicians - but the glue that holds them together are the following lies:

1.) 9/11 was an unprovoked attack on the U.S.

2.) The 9/11 hijackers attacked us because they hate our freedoms, hot dogs, apple pies and Chevrolets;

3.) If we don't attack them over there, we'll have to fight them over here;

It is this virtual "See and Say" of myopic beliefs which drive our nation further into conflict and war profiteering.

I believe it is essential that Americans realize 9/11 was NOT an unprovoked attack, but rather a very much provoked attack. The MSM shouldn't even call it 9/11 anymore; they should call it, "What goes around, comes around." Americans are led to believe the U.S. government's role in 9/11 is as innocent as Snow White - nothing could be further fom the truth.

I believe it is essential for Americans not only to understand why the 9/11 hijackers attacked us on 9/11, but to also understand that the U.S. government does NOT have the right under U.S. or intl' law to execute the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes and subsequent military occupations.

I believe it is essential for Americans to find out that when the 9/11 Commission asked the FBI why the 9/11 hijackers attacked us, the FBI said the primary motivation was U.S. support of Israel and other repressive regimes; watch this video:

The fact remains: both the Democratic and Republican parties support Israel's 40-yr. long illegal military occupation of Palestinian territories and support illegal U.S. military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Here's a handy worldwide known fact: as long as our Congress continues to fund and arm Israel, that's how long America will continue to be the target of terrorism; as long as our government continues to militarily occupy Muslim land, that's how long America will continue to be the target of terrorism. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with, "how wonderful and great" America is. The MSM works triple overtime keeping this most pivotal of truths from the American people. The MSM force feeds their skewed perspective (lies) all day every day to the unwashed masses. Unfortunately, too many Americans gulp these lies whole and regurgitate them in the form of political donations and support for the keepers of these un-American, unlawful, unconstitutional policies: the Democratic and Republican parties and their party candidates.

All the Republican candidates and Hillary, Obama and Edwards promise to prosecute the "Global War On Terror" and promise to keep "response teams" worldwide to "respond" to "al Qaeda uprisings." As long as our government continues to support, finance and continue these illegal military actions, that's how long the war profiteers and their front men and women - the Democratic and Republican parties, will continue to grow and grow and grow.

Both political parties and the MSM constantly brainwash the American people into believing Muslims have no right to respond and react to decades of illegal U.S.-Israeli military occupations, murder and mayhem. The MSM want you to believe the victims of U.S.-Israeli imperialism need to keep their Islamic mouths shut - just keep quiet and take it up the wazoo.

As long as the MSM rules the People's airwaves, that's how long Americans will continue to support the Romneys, the Giulianis, the Clintons, the Obamas and the Edwards.

you did a good job Ron

We the people have been fed on a diet of American 'supremecy' that begins in childhood.

 

The evil other use to be the commies and now it is Islam.

 

Both canards allow the continuing of the Industrial Military Complex to fuel the USA economy.

 

Remember what Eisenhower warned in his Farewll Address: "DON'T tie the economy to the Industrial Military Complex"

 

Prophets are always ignored in their life times, and prophets do not necessarily predict the future but they do warn the people of impending doom.

 

I content that another American prophet whose time has come  is Tom Paine and when we the people regain COMMON SENSE and refuse to be led by the nose with FEAR, we will

 

"Have it in our power to begin the world again."

 

 

"Soon after I had published the pamphlet "Common Sense" [on Feb. 14, 1776] in America, I saw the exceeding probability that a revolution in the system of government would be followed by a revolution in the system of religion... The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."-Tom Paine

 

IMAGINE an America being based on that!

'blow back' is mostly just blow.

'terrists did 9/11' ... more of the limited hangout of 'blowback'.....

(ya, 'terrists' did 9/11 but they didn't hail from Afghanistan... or from Saudi Arabia.... unless you mean those pasties ..... who the -real-terrorists used.

OBL was a CIA asset - now, of course, is deceased. But his Name and photoshop'd image lives on... and on... and on on on.

the 'war on terrah' - a constructed myth .... sweeet Bono-licious ..... who - really - benefitted?

Do your homework, Ron

"All the Republican candidates and Hillary, Obama and Edwards promise to prosecute the "Global War On Terror" ....."

Ron, why are you ignoring Dr.Ron Paul? He is running for president as a Republican and his foreign policy would stop the crazy train we're on and end our wars for imperialism. He understands the concept of 'blowback' and the need to avoid entangling alliances. Unlike all the other candidates, Dr. Paul would bring our troops home now and not just from Iraq and Afghanistan, but from all the hundreds of bases we maintiain outside our borders.

It's hard enough educating the TV masses about him without having bloggers make blanket false statements like this. Please check out Dr. Paul and support him.

Blowback is Bogus


BlowBack is Bogus. 

Simply another fabrication of the ptb. A small section of 

Al Qaeda and the "War on Terrorism"   by Michel Chossudovsky

 

might enlighten....

“The Post 9/11 "War on Terrorism"

The "blowback" thesis is a fabrication.

The CIA never severed its ties to the "Islamic Militant Network". There is ample evidence that Al Qaeda remains a US sponsored intelligence asset.

Al Qaeda is presented as the architect of 9/11 without ever mentioning its historical links to the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI.

While Al Qaeda remains firmly under the control of the US intelligence apparatus, the US administration has repeatedly intimated that this "outside enemy" will strike again, that a "second 9/11’ will occur somewhere in America or in the western World:

[there are] "indications that [the] near-term attacks ... will either rival or exceed the [9/11] attacks…

And it's pretty clear that the nation's capital and New York city would be on any list..." (Tom Ridge, Christmas 2003)

"You ask, 'Is it serious?' Yes, you bet your life. People don't do that unless it's a serious situation." (Donald Rumsfeld, Christmas 2003)

"Credible reporting indicates that Al Qaeda is moving forward with its plans to carry out a large-scale attack in the United States in an effort to disrupt our democratic process... This is sobering information about those who wish to do us harm... But every day we strengthen the security of our nation." (George W. Bush, July 2004)

"The enemy that struck on 9/11 is fractured and weakened, yet still lethal, still determined to hit us again" (Dick Cheney, July 2006)

"Another [9/11] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity to retaliate against some known targets" (Pentagon official, quoted in the Washington Post, 23 April 2006)
