The fake War on Terrorism and the real War on Islam: Writing ContestJohn Hammer In George Orwells 1984, the fake terrorist threat is very effectively used as a tool to spread fear and compliance among the population of Airstrip One, the new name for Great Britain. Whenever the government wishes to impose a new law or further restrict freedoms in any way, they wheel out their utterly invented, fake nemesis, Emmanuel Goldstein who is then, along with his organisation, said to have committed various atrocities, effectively paving the way for further draconian restrictions of freedoms by invoking the Hegelian dialectic (problem, reaction, solution). Does this sound at all familiar? For Emmanuel Goldstein read Osama bin Laden, Colonel Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein and all may become clearer. The utterly ridiculous assertion that Iran is supplying sophisticated arms to the Palestinians is like the similarly false assertion that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. These assertions are propagandistic justifications for killing Arab civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure in order to further US, British and Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. The current perceived threat posed by Islam is the main barrier to the widespread expansion of Elite corporatism and therefore this makes it necessary for them to totally eliminate this threat. They do this by painting all Muslims as potential terrorists and then infiltrating Muslim dissident groups and by the use of coercion and the funding of their activities, these groups are subtly enticed to carry out minor acts of terror that can be inflated beyond all belief by the lackeys of the press and then used as examples of the horrors of Islamic extremism. Consider these numbers for a moment; the reason will soon become apparent In the USA in 2008, heart disease killed 870,000 people, doctor and hospital errors 200,000, road deaths were 43,000, salmonella poisoning 600 and terrorism, 6. In 2009 the heart disease prevention budget was $2.9 bn whilst the anti-terrorism budget was $160 bn. What is wrong with this picture? Where is the war on heart disease, the war on medical inadequacy, road deaths and salmonella? Unfortunately, heart disease does not generate profits for the Elite military-industrial complex on the same scale as terrorism or indeed further the agenda in any significant way. Fighting terrorism is a wonderfully expedient way of continuing a war economy without end against an enemy that cannot even be adequately defined let alone conquered, has no discernible borders and no national identity to destroy. It is in fact the perfect enemy for those who wish to enslave us and keep us in a permanent state of poverty and disenfranchisement by waging perpetual, unwinnable war, exactly as described in glorious detail by George Orwell in 1984. According to US government propaganda, terrorist cells are spread throughout America, making it necessary for the government to spy on all Americans and violate most other constitutional protections. If America were infected with terrorists, we would not need the government to tell us. We would know it from events. the US government substitutes warnings in order to keep alive the fear that causes the public to accept pointless wars, the infringement of civil liberty, national ID cards, and inconveniences and harassments when they fly. The most obvious indication that there are no terrorist cells is that not a single neocon has been assassinated. Paul Craig Roberts, The War on Terror is a Hoax, 2009 The evolution of Western societies as genuine democracies with the ability to unify mankind on a broad basis, has been derailed consistently and perhaps irreversibly, by corporate cartels that have taken these countries down the path of global conquest and total exploitation of many poor but resource-rich countries, committing genocide in the process. The Elite corporations involved in this insidious plan, operate secretly, often illegally, sometimes within utterly immoral laws lobbied-for by themselves and without regard for the wider interests of humanity in general. Thus, the exploited countries see the western democracies, in particular, the US, the UK and Israel as a power of unprecedented and unmatched ruthlessness. The US is not only the greatest super-power in history, but it is also the greatest subversive power ever to inflict itself upon humanity. Corporations have infiltrated the White House, the US legislative bodies and judiciary, as well as the US security agencies, some of which, such as the CIA, were created at the behest of Wall Street financial interests anyway in order to further their own agendas on foreign soil. And this is also true of Americas allies secret services. Indeed, not one of the so-called western democracies have escaped corporate infiltration and in effect a secret takeover by Elite, corporate interests. This corporate ascendancy in the western power structure is now a constant and deeply-embedded feature of international politics. The people of the world are now almost out of the loop completely as democracy has been totally hijacked. This is in fact the real danger to the future of mankind, not so-called terrorism. How often are we warned of the extreme dangers posed to our democracy and way of life, by the terrorist group Al Qaeda that according to the Elite, has cells everywhere in the world simultaneously, all in possession of unlimited funding? Azzam Yahiye Gadahn also known as Azzam the American or the new Bin Laden is the so called Al-Qaeda spokesperson who releases videos tormenting the world with his anti-American rants. The FBI even has him on their most wanted terrorist lists. However, in reality he is an American Jew named Adam Pearlman, from California. Pearlmans grandfather, Carl Pearlman, was a prominent surgeon and on the board of directors of the Zionist Anti-Defamation League. This is a sick joke which could almost be funny were it not so serious a matter. They are taunting and laughing at us all whilst we all slumber in our blind apathy. International terrorism is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It is a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security services and the international media. British author, Adam Curtis Some highly-paid intellectual guardians of the Elite-approved truth allege that Islam breeds terrorism. The Western mass-media then complements this theoretically convenient notion to poison the public perceptions against Arabs and all Muslims in general. And thus the perception of radical Islam was manufactured and enhanced by the fear of terrorism as if Arabs and Muslims in general are all evil personified and terrorism was an exclusive domain of the Islamic religious tenets. Bushs famously emotive rhetoric you are either with us or you are with the terrorists is perfectly worded to emotionally influence the masses. Emotional appeals to fear and to patriotism have led most of the population to accept unaccountable government in the name of the war on terror. What supreme irony it is that so many people have been convinced that their personal safety depends upon the sacrifice of their civil liberties and truly accountable government. There is absolutely no terrorism in the thoughts and in the words of Islam and no Arabic-Islamic vocabulary exists of extremism or terrorism to reciprocate the western accusations and Elite media propaganda campaigns. In a rational context, the War on Terrorism has nothing to do with the alleged terrorists; it is a war to help Halliburton, Bectal, Blackwater, Wackenhut, Exxon, BP, Shell and other mega-corporations to capitalise their holds on the oil supplies and gas pipelines. Bush passed Executive Order #13303, providing complete immunity from criminal prosecution to the companies dealing with the Iraqi oil management. Hopefully, history will judge the nations involved by their actions, not by the false claims of their leaders. So, in summary, I would make this plea to anyone who cannot see how fear and terror is being used as a tool to subjugate the world and its gullible peoples Please wake up and look beyond the mainstream news media. Look a little deeper into both current and past events. By doing so, you will help prevent your children from becoming the slaves of the super-rich, forever.
