Man terrorists and terrorism is such a scam to scare people into expanding surveillance, arrest political opposition, and start needless wars. I mean there are a few cases that are legitimate, but generally it’s an abused word.
Anyone the state doesn’t like is a terrorist
Always has been realistically.
The term at least in the US is very skewed in one direction and not the other. Groups that are labelled as terrorist organizations aren’t in the US, like the proud boys. I wouldn’t even say the state, I would say the wealthy and powerful who feel a group can be useful or not.
9/11? Terrorism.
London City Bombing? Terrorism.
Saying how much ICE sucks and Trump sucks? …Terrorism? Oh, terrorism of free speech. Got it.
Remember Snowden? All of the expansions on surveillance by multiple countries didn’t do much but at least now we have dragnet surveillance now.
Funny enough Larry Silverstein purchased the twin towers just 49 days before the attack even though the cost of renovating the buildings asbestos was likely going to cost more than their purchase price. On top of that he argued with the insurance companies to triple his coverage which they were happy to do because they would be receiving triple the pay. For all intents and purposes he had made the dumbest financial decisions in modern history. He was headed for immediate financial insolvency. After the attack and all the dust settled he cleared $4.5 billion. On top of that the man very famous for never missing a single day at the office just so happened to be out for an appointment exactly at the time of the attack. This is why he is also known as the luckiest business man in modern history. It’s almost as if he knew something that everyone else didn’t, otherwise his purchase of the towers and agreement with the insurance companies really doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
It wouldnt suprise me if this turns out to be a inside job. The US government has done much worse things prior to 9/11
I’m not saying it is, but what I am saying is there’s a lot of fuck shit about it and the events that followed after.
I mean, they definitely did some shit, but that’s big time, even for the guy that shot the police officer.
Not really. If you even so much as tickle an officer wrong, they’d like to come after your family. Harsh sentencing on even pushing an officer when they’re trying to interact with you is not uncommon. Let alone shooting at them. The violence is asymmetric by design.
