Terrorism and terrorists

In the media, terrorism and terrorists are often associated with religious extremists and fundamentalists, suicide squads and attacks on the streets. And there are countries that were branded as evil, the Axis of Evil. The repetition of such usage and the branding of certain countries in the western media have directly or indirectly implanted in the minds of innocent readers who are the terrorists and countries that subconsciously become the bad countries. And you can be sure that anyone that has been fed daily by the western media would spurt out names and groups and countries unconsciously as those related to terrorism and terrorist activities. Why, because the western media said so, and saying everyday, like telling a lie and turning it into an unthinking truth. No one reading the western media would ever think or association terrorism with the USA and western countries despite the hundreds of thousands of innocent people dying or killed or maimed by their wars and indiscriminate bombings in the name of fighting terrorism. They even roared into laughter at the mentioned of those killed by their bombings and called them innocently as war collateral.
 

Let’s look at this definition of terrorism in the Wikipedia.
 

‘There is no universal agreement on the definition of terrorism. Various legal systems and government agencies use different definitions. Moreover, governments have been reluctant to formulate an agreed upon and legally binding definition. These difficulties arise from the fact that the term is politically and emotionally charged. In the United States of America, for example, Terrorism is defined in Title 22 Chapter 38 U.S. Code 2656f as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents."
 

It is the use of violence or threat of violence in the pursuit of political, religious, ideological or social objectives.
 

It can be committed by governments, non-state actors, or undercover personnel serving on the behalf of their respective governments.
 

It reaches more than the immediate target victims and is also directed at targets consisting of a larger spectrum of society.
 

It is both mala prohibita (i.e., crime that is made illegal by legislation) and mala in se (i.e., crime that is inherently immoral or wrong).’

The number of terrorist activities, bombings, street attacks, if one bothers to count them, are really insignificant when compared to the daily bombings and wars conducted by the American forces in all guises. The number of people killed and wounded by terrorist acts was so small compared to the number of people killed and wounded by the countless wars being waged by the Americans and their cronies and the indiscriminate bombings conducting by them. A good example was the cruise missile attack on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. Did anyone call it a terrorist act? Did the western media called it a terrorist attack or they simply brushed it off as a mistake in reading an old map and the unthinking simply accepted the explanation.
 

Why were the violent acts of Americans and their cronies, they called it war on terrorism, abstained them from being labeled as terrorists or acts of terrorism? Simple, they wrote the narratives, they controlled the western media written by western authors. They would not call themselves terrorists or rogues or gangsters. They would call themselves the soldiers of goodness and righteousness and their victims were bad guys and deserved to be terminated. With the western media deliberately refusing to tag them as terrorists, the readers were simply conditioned not to think they are the world's Number One Terrorists.
 

This is how powerful the media is, especially the western media and how they write words in the minds of their readers. Words like terrorism, terrorists and fundamentalists would never be attached to the savages of the West, the mercenaries that were armed with the most deadly weapons to kill people of the rest of the world. By not attributing such words on themselves, their readers would not relate terrorism and terrorists to the real terrorists that have been killing innocent people wantonly and indiscriminately.
 

Beware when you read the western media and their narratives. It is one sided, they are the good guys and the rest of the world are the bad guys. Good guys can kill bad guys. Good guys killing bad guys are called wars on terrorism, wars on terrorists and not the other way round.
 

Think and ask and question why your thinking is such and who is planting ideas into your head on what is right and wrong and who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. Many bananas are the victims of such manipulation of their subconscious mind without them knowing. Communism is bad, North Korea and Iran are bad, the Axis of Evil etc etc etc. China is stealing western technology. What is there to steal when China has more advanced technologies than the west? Why would China want to steal backward technologies? What is there to steal? But they keep harping on this narrative and innocent readers would just repeat this thought, that the West is the most advanced in technology and China is desperately trying to steal them.
 

Who is more advanced in space technology? Who is more advanced in rocketry? Who is more advanced in drone technology? Who is more advanced in quantum physics and AI? Who is more advanced in electric cars? Who is more advanced in high speed train? Who is more advanced in infrastructure development? Who is more advanced in supply chains? And yes, who is more advanced in 5G technology?
 

Who is stealing whose technology? Only the Chinese are hacking into western systems, the West, especially the Americans, are so innocent? Heard of wikileak and Snowden and what did they expose?

Heard of the phrase State Terrorism?

Terrorism r not the worse thing on this planet. The worse of the Worst r in the Minds of these Human Beings. Two thousands yrs ago, Jesus Christ aka the Son of God tried to change that but was crusified on the cross, two thousands five hundred years ago one prince gave up to be a king & become the Enlightened One Buddha to teach Human kind, so is Mohammed & many other religions. Today, some of these people made use of religions to create unrest & even war as they tot their religion will glorify them in heaven, these people minds r contaminated by Satan or Mara or the Evil Ones & it is hard to change them which resulted in terror or terrorism. Racial & religious harmony r very important in this tiny island here, we must be grateful that our fore-fathers laid a strong foundation in racial & religious harmony, it can be emulated with the rest of the world as we r all humans. Today is the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, let's pray for our country & rest of the world to be at peace with one another, Merry Christmas & Allehuyah!

What did George Bush Jr prayed when he invaded Iraq?

When war is waged in the name of religion, since the middle ages, everything about religion changes.

When religion, as with all things, is made used of by humans for ulterior motives, every moral connotations associated with religion is thrown out of the window.

When religion is no longer able to withstand the onslaught of warped minds, it loses its relevancy.

'Only the Germans and Japs were punished as war criminals' unquote

Right. And the biggest war criminal that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundred of thousands, if not millions, is still looked upon as the guardian angel of mankind.

In fact historians were saying that when Germany fell, Japan was also on the verge of defeat in East Asia. They argued that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were no more the testing ground for the US foray into nuclear warfare, and a moral booster for them by beating the Russian's development of nuclear weapons.

In response to the attacks of 9/11, President Bush declared a crusade on Islamic terrorism. He was actually conjuring up the old nightmarish horrors of the crusades. Of all the religious wars in human history waged by any religion, at any place and at any time, none have been bloodier, more genocidal, more barbaric, and more protracted than the 200-year holy wars by the Crusaders against the Arabs and Islam. The sacking of Jerusalem in 1099 by the Crusaders was followed by merciless slaughter of thousands of men, women and children. The bloodbath was described as thus: If you had been there you would have seen your feet coloured to your ankles with the blood of the slain. None of them were left alive; neither women nor children were spared.
In the modern era, the use of napalm bombs and white phosphorus grenades to burn victims alive by Uncle Sam are war crimes as they are deliberate acts of terror used to demoralize and weaken resistance.

Uncle Sam has never officially declared war on Syria. There shouldn't be any troops there in the first place. Trump received flak for withdrawing troops helping the terrorists. The MSM went ballistic. Headlines screamed: Trump’s breathtaking surrender to Russia; Abandoning the rebels is a gift to Assad and Putin; Restore the CIA’s covert train-and-equip program to topple the Assad regime. House minority whip Steny Hoyer said Trump’s decision was impulsive, irresponsible and dangerous; the only people happy are the Syrians, the Iranians and the Russians. Victoria Nuland wrote that President Trump handed a huge New Year’s gift to President Assad, the Kremlin and Tehran. For once, Trump defied the war hawks.

@ too emotional to be sensible:

"Terrorist" like "racist" are loaded words. Emotionally loaded that is. As soon as those words are used in discourse, forget about it...what follows is simply a waste of time.

If you really want the truth on who is hacking who, and who is stealing from who...you will need to do your own research on Dark Net via TOR (The Onion Router). On the “regular” internet it soon degenerates into who has got the best tech, who is the main culprit in hacking and IP theft...blah-de-blah-de-hoo-ha-vomit-vomit.

Like all markets, you need to familiarise yourself with the main actors, the price action, market data and dynamics. Stolen and hacked tech is a HUGE underground market. Unless you know, first hand, you really don’t know JACK SHIT. I find mainstream reports of such activity an entertaining distraction. I find people who don’t know anything about cybersecurity or cannot even write a line of code to initialize a system unbelievably hilarious, and hope in my heart of hearts that they get hacked and their identities stolen. 🤣🤣

My “humble” boast: I've been on the TOR network since the early 2000’s and have seen it grow into what it is today --- a chaotic, yet surprisingly ordered place where really, anything goes. You can buy every kind of drug. You can buy BULK stolen credit cards, bank accounts, fake currency, real currency, yellow cake uranium, Semtex, C4, guns galore, kiddie porn; you can hire assassins for murder or top-gun hackers for nefarious deeds of your desire...but you can also commune with activists in oppressed cuntries, victims of abuse, dissidents in fear for their lives...yes, really folks, anything does go. At any time I have at least 2 computers on dedicated lines connected to Dark Net. No, I don’t do any illegal shit there, because it is teeming with law enforcement conducting on-going “sting” operations. Many of them masquerde as criminals, so the chances of being caught if you are careless, are quite good. a word of wisdom: Don’t do criminal shit on Dark Net. You (EVERYONE IS CARELESS at sometime) will be caught, charged in court and slammed into jail --- or executed in some cuntries..

Like I said: you have to study and learn the market you are talking abut. Otherwise, you're just as blur as everyone else, trying to appear knowlegable.

Radicalized jihadists are making homegrown terrorism tough to deal with. The threat from homegrown terrorists in Europe and in Uncle Sam's cities is significantly higher than the threat from foreign terrorists. The most permissive gun laws is a recurring plague for Uncle Sam as a result of easy access to guns. Using vehicles as killing machines is becoming more common than bomb attacks. Anti-Semitism has become the latest feature of homegrown terrorism and Jewish communities outside Israel are facing existential threats.

Rightly or Wrongly, Why are the Jewish people so hated?

Can anyone provide some insights?
