Freedom Destroyed by Design: The Hoax that is the Global War on Terror

See, in my line of work, you got to keep on repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in - to kind of, catapult the propaganda.

"I'll probably say it three more times ... See, in my line of work, you got to keep on repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in - to kind of, catapult the propaganda." - George W. Bush

Terrorism is the way of the new world order. We are told that we can never go back to a “pre-9/11″ mindset, that the terrorist attacks of that day “forever changed” our great nation and the world. Under the utterly failed leadership of George W. Bush, our Constitution and the common rights of man have come under a barrage of attacks, all under the guise of homeland security and fighting terrorism – abuses that are violating our most basic moral principles and respect for human dignity, both here and in remote areas of the world. The media-sensationalized Global War on Terror (GWOT) has put terror in every one’s living room, as a daily reminder of how awful the world is and why we need big government and military to protect our way of life. We do not recognize that, in doing so, we are incrementally handing away the freedoms that hundreds of thousands of men and women have died to secure and protect. In so doing, we are destroying our Republic and burning the Constitution, spitting on their graves.

Terrorism is the way of the new world order. Eisenhower warned us many years ago to “beware of the military industrial complex” – that dangerous and often secretive relationship between the defense industry and our nation’s military. Many people believe that acts of terrorism around the world are being engineered by the military industrial complex and the intelligence communities around the world in order to usher in the” new world order” of world government. Those who wish to bring this “new world order” to fruition recognize that they must dissolve local governments, increase the reaches of controlled federal governments, and dissolve the sovereignty of individual nations to bring them under collective control. While our presidents and Congress use our military to police the world as the enforcement arm of world government, they are also destroying the sovereignty of our country and undermining the very fabric of our form of government here at home – and we are paying for it all.

Terrorism is the way of the new world order. We are being ushered into a global fascist police state like moviegoers to an action flick and we don’t recognize it. We are all to eager to hand over certain right in exchange for security and safety. Think for one minute: what if those that are taking away some of your liberties to amass military power over you (to protect you, of course!) are the ones actually terrorizing you and other nations in the first place? I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it again: Our CIA is the largest, most heavily funded TERRORIST network in the whole world, yet it is glamorized on television. The CIA is a secret government operating within our constitutional republic, and has served to undermine our own government as it has served to overthrow governments throughout the world, deal heavily in drug and sex-slave trafficking and the proliferation of terrorism around the world. “Google” all of that – and have fun.

Be reminded that the CIA funded the Taliban during the Afghan-Russian war in the eighties. “Al-qaeda” actually translates as “the database”, which refers to the database the CIA kept of the mujahideen guerilla fighters they had enlisted. Osama bin Laden was once a CIA-asset and operative. The bin Laden family are still close friends to many of our highest political leaders, especially the Bush crime family.

Many people in this country and abroad believe that 9/11 was a “false flag” terror event, used and manipulated by the Bush administration to launch two illegal wars of aggression and accelerate the destruction of our constitutional republic and the ushering in of what his daddy, on September 11, 1990 called, the “new world order.” Members of the Project for a New American Century, a think-tank who produced a document entitled “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” in September of 2000, called for these simultaneous wars in the Middle East to secure the oil fields, to establish permanent U.S. military bases, and to establish a pro-American-empire-friendly government there. They said this would never happen, though – because the American people would never be behind it – without the aid of a “catastrophic and catalyzing event … like a new Pearl Harbor.” A year later, they had that event and GWOT was born.

In my opinion, there is a lot of information out there suggesting that GWOT is a hoax being perpetrated on the uninformed, distracted and dumbed-down public. Sure, there are bad people in the world who do bad things. We need to watch out for those people and safeguard ourselves from their atrocious acts. Yet there are enemies among us, who we do little about and who do more to destroy our liberties because “they hate our freedoms” than any damage caused by real terrorists. In the wake of 9/11, it is the legislature that has systematically undermined our freedoms. It is the executive that has stepped outside the bounds of the Constitution. This is not to say that there is not violence occurring around the world, especially in the Middle East, or that people are not being maimed and killed because of our involvement in this war. The effects of a big lie can be very profound indeed. Is it really a stretch to believe that, not only were we lied to about the Iraq war and WMD’s, but we were lied to about a lot more, including GWOT, which we are told could last a hundred years or more.

The real “shock and awe” campaign has been directed at the American people to generate fear and submission to world government. The real “war on terror” is an assault on individual liberty and national sovereignty.

With that in mind, I found this article to be especially interesting this morning:

From Mumbai to Washington: Now Is the Time to Renounce the War on Terror

by Yifat Susskind

Right now, while the horror of the attacks in Mumbai is reverberating around the world and tensions between India and Pakistan are mounting, there is a crucial move that President-elect Obama could make to chart a positive course forward. Obama should renounce the “war on terror.”

Think about it: since the weird semantic banner was first unfurled, the number and ferocity of terrorist attacks has only increased. Mumbai is just the latest battle-front. And in the seven years since George Bush put the world on notice with his “you’re either with us or with the terrorists” declaration, the US has actually managed to fuel support for groups that use terrorism. That’s because the “war on terror” has led millions of people to conclude that the US is an even greater threat to their safety and freedom than Al Qaeda and other violent fringe groups.

And who can blame them? After all, George Bush and Dick Cheney literally declared the whole world to be their battlefield—and forever. Under the banner of the “war on terror,” the US has overthrown a sovereign, if nasty, government (Iraq), trampled the UN Charter (the 2003 invasion), tortured prisoners (“enhanced interrogation techniques” to quote the Bush Administration and the Nazis), openly armed and funded death squads (the “Salvador Option”), and lowered the bar on governments’ accountability to human rights standards and civil liberties worldwide.

Now, the Indian government is poised to go down the same road. Leaders of India’s main opposition party, the Hindu-nationalist BJP, are demanding that their government act like the US did after 9-11. They see no reason that India shouldn’t avail itself of the same strong-arm tactics that the Bush Administration has enjoyed—and legitimized.

Here’s the reason: terrorist attacks are not acts of war to be responded to in kind, but crimes against humanity. As crimes, they should be investigated and the perpetrators tried and prosecuted. We have the body of international laws and institutions needed to pursue genuine justice in the wake of terrorist attacks. Let’s use them. And let’s dust off the tradition of peaceful cooperation between governments (we’re going to need it anyway, to deal with the global recession and climate change).

The lessons of the past seven years are that there is no military solution to terrorism; that a militarized response only feeds the same constellation of forces that produce support for terrorism; that a war on terror enhances the power of extremists on both sides and shuts down the space for dialogue, diplomacy and decency.

That’s the message we need to deliver loud and clear to President-elect Obama and his new foreign policy team. We may not be able to undo all of the damage inflicted by the Bush Administration, but we can demand a new direction, starting with a forceful human-rights based response to the atrocities in Mumbai.

Many people in India and Pakistan are calling for just such a response from their governments. Those of us in the US should demand no less of the incoming administration. The best thing President-elect Obama could do to chart a new and improved US foreign policy is to renounce the “war on terror.”
