People understand the definition of ‘suspect’, right?
I enjoy human beings who care more about professional sport teams and athletes than they do the government that carries out terrorism in their name and with their tax dollars. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Judge Napolitano - 10 Years of US False Flag Plots
Snip has no fucking idea.
We are not hated because we practice democracy, value freedom, or uphold human rights. We are hated because our government denies these things to people in the Third world countries whose resources are coveted by our multinational corporations. That hatred we have sown has come back to haunt us in the form of terrorism… Instead of sending our sons and daughters around the world to kill Arabs so we can have the oil under their sand, we should send them to rebuild their infrastructure, supply clean water, and feed starving children…
In short, we should do good instead of evil. Who would try to stop us? Who would hate us? Who would want to bomb us? That is the truth the American people need to hear.

Equality for everyone, including the innocent men, women, and children that our government murders every day with our tax dollars.
Selected Commentary from a Commondreams.Org Article
“When I awoke this morning I felt really unsafe.
Then I read that Obama had incinerated five Afghan children and now my trembling has stopped and my fears have eased.
I’ll pour myself a bowl of genetically modified corn flakes (unlabeled), check my bank account (still paying .001 interest), turn on the liberal cable news channel (I’m sure they’ll start defending my lost liberties soon), send a few emails (I’ve got nothing to hide from the NSA) and check the weather report (another unusually mild February day what could be the cause?).
Good work on taking out those Muslim children Mr. Obama and keeping the country safe from the immense harm they posed to all of us.” - CygnusX1isahole
Yeah, let’s worship the guy who drone bombs men, women, and children, all day errday. He’s so awesome!
The American establishment has a history of marginalizing and demonizing certain groups of people to allow for exploitation. If it’s not Native Americans it’s blacks, if it’s not blacks it’s European immigrants, if it’s not European immigrants it’s Mexicans, South Americans, Filipinos, Cubans, Hawaiians, Chinese… If it’s not them, it’s the Japanese, if it’s not the Japanese, it’s Communists. If it’s not Communists, it’s Muslims and terrorists. Who’s next? When does it end?
I’m not so sure I would call a suicide bombing “cowardly” - I think “cowardly” should be reserved for using remote-controlled drones to shoot missiles at men, women, and children all over the world and writing them off as either “suspected militants” or collateral damage.
I mourn the loss of all human life, be it American or otherwise. It is regrettable that so many people died on 9/11, and while I do not buy into the mainstream story of what transpired that day, suffice to say it is deeply troubling that in response to terrorists killing innocent people in an act of vengeance for the American military industrial complex’s history of war crimes, the American military industrial complex opened up whole new theaters of war, invaded sovereign nations, fabricated justification for invading others, killed thousands of “enemy combatants” and innocent civilians, displaced hundreds of thousands more, curtailed domestic civil liberties, and created a remote-controlled assassination drone program which has killed US citizens abroad with no regard for due process or other constitutional law, amongst other blighted acts, all while so many Americans cheer them on, and hold in highest regard the men and women who volunteer to participate.

On December 17th, 2009, the United States launched a cruise missile into a village in Yemen, which killed 52 people, more than half of which were women and children. These individuals were not terrorists, nor did they pose any security risk to the United States. The villagers belonged to an opposition group which stood opposed to the US-backed Yemeni regime. Years later, we now have troops on the ground in Yemen, despite a complete lack of a Constitutionally-mandated Congressional approval for military operations. This issue transcends the farcical American political paradigm the establishment presents. The military-industrial complex has hijacked our federal republic, and voting for Romney or Obama isn’t going to change that, but voting for Ron Paul might.
The threat of Islamic terrorism is a problem of our government’s own making. It is grounded in American arrogance, ignorance, racism, imperialism and support for the terrorist state of Israel. President Bush’s so-called war on terror was an insidious campaign to create fear and hatred among Americans and Europeans towards Muslims so as to rationalize a foreign policy aimed at doing whatever is necessary to control their oil in the Middle East. Under President Obama it’s more of the same. Plus the threat of terrorism helps justify trillion-dollar plus defense budgets, 1.6 million American troops stationed in 1,000 bases in over 153 countries, special operations strike forces in 120 countries and pilotless drone aircraft operating worldwide.

For anyone in the US who actually lives in fear of a terrorist bad guy sneaking into America and detonating a dirty bomb, let me assuage your fears: there is only one entity in the world that has ever used nuclear weapons against innocent civilians. Not once, but twice. What was that entity? I’ll give you a hint. You’re living in it.
