HOW’S THAT WAR ON TERROR GOING?

I wonder if those numbers include the terrorist attacks carried out by the US Govt?
I S -I was wondering the same thing.I am disgusted after the truth came out over Obama,Hillary CIA involvement in Benghazi,Syria,Ukraine…Now flooding of illegals in EU and US is new tool to destabilize countries.Notice Obama now having EPA poison ground water in thirteen states and saying sorry.Just like the doctors without boarders bombing in Syria,oops sorry.The point is Obama is chaos,murder,pillage,overthrowing US as well.After all this cancer Russia and Putin are Obama’s Kryptonite.
@I_S – At this point I feel like the vast majority of these attacks are US involved.
I mean, we train them, we arm them, and even feed them intel. Then they turn and bite us eventually. A gigantic WTF going on in DC.
The only logical conclusion one can come from is that someone is making a lot of money from this boondoggle and thus is interested in keeping this hits rolling.
Nice video with pretty special effects.
BUT ……. did you notice where terrorist attacks were NOT occurring? hmmmm? In the UNITED STATES OF ‘MURIKA !!! That’s where!
We ARE winning the War on Terror. That much is clear. Every day the FBI, DHS, CIA, and other hard-working honorable agencies foil terror plots on our soil. Thanks to The Patriot Act and other benevolent laws, America today is the safest place on earf.
Stucky- Have you gone daft man or just forgotten that we iz got the “Silent Terrorism” here in Merica? Just go through a drive-thru or visit the grocery, the weaponized food is a slower killer but effective none the less. Then go outside and check out the sky for the daily dose of chemtrail air attack to compliment the dead/poisoned water that comes from your faucet. Add in the toxic drugs the population scarfs down daily from big pharma because you are convinced you have to have them for the rest of your life. Now tell me this place is safe……..right.
Bea- Have you gone daft man or just forgotten to put on your sarcasm detector?
Sometimes really big news goes unnoticed. Get a load of this …..
Jean-Claude Junker is the European Union President. He’s the guy who just a few weeks ago demanded the establishment of an EU army … one expressly directed against Russia.
Huge reversal a few days ago. He said the EU should seek a normal relationship with Russia, and end the sanctions.
“We have to achieve a sustainable relationship with Russia. It’s not sexy, but has to be done. We can’t go on like this anymore. The Russians are a proud people, the country has “a role to play. One must not remove them from the bigger picture, otherwise they’ll call again, very quickly, as we seen already.”
He criticized US Presidnet Barack Obama, for having downgraded Russia as a “regional power”.
“Russia needs to be treated correctly. We can not have our relationship towards Russia dictated by Washington. It’s simply not on.”
This is not just some random schmuck MP. This is the EU President. When even the Europussies get tired of the Oreo/Murika bullshit, then the balance of power is clearly shifting towards Russia. Is the end of NATO, at least as a legitimate organization capable of projecting power, drawing near?
Stuck- Just sticking a friendly stick in your eye to keep things rolling, mmmkayyy.
Merkel prolly got the cut-off notice for NG from Russia and the Eurocrats started sing a different tune. Smart move by Junker and yes they are as sick of Oreo as we are.

That’s cool …. pretty slow here today.
I’m working on a Bone Broth article …. I know how to make it, been dong so for decades … but, never put it down in writing … plus doing research on the medical aspects.
The NYC Sunday Gang walked far and wide for a cup of real bone broth …. the healthiest food on the planet. Pretty damn easy to make at home. So, for them and others here who haven’t attempted it, I’m doing a recipe article. Been a long time since I did one.
Stucky
My mother was old school and a trained dietician, she believed in the power of marrow bone broth. You would be doing the readers a huge service to share said information and recipes. Also, we need some car articles to cut the doom porn……got anything cooking on the back burner?
The setting is a few years after the passing of Obama.
Of course, the Good Lord immediately invited him to paradise. How could he not? Hadn’t got the Nobel Prize right after being elected president? Didn’t he save Social Security? Didn’t he reconcile his country with Cuba? Finally, after deploring all the shootings, didn’t he do his best to be done with the Second Amendment that gives the right to every citizen to carry guns? All in all, Obama was a saint. Plainly.
So now he passes his happy days up on high. But happiness, when prolonged, gets to be a bit of a bore, and Obama was no exception to this rule. So one day he decided to take a big step, and go down to do the tour of New York.
The plan was set: he would go to the Bronx, on Webster Avenue. When he got there, he chose to check out one of the restaurants, ordinary ones like thousands of other bistros in the US. At a table, there’s an elderly couple: The man and the woman are each chomping on a large cheeseburger. He goes up to them and calls for a beer.
“Oh, Mr. President! What brings you here? What a pleasure to see you again,” the couple say, practically in chorus.
“It’s nice of you to say that. Well — I’m back to see what’s happened since I left you. I’m afraid that maybe American customs have gotten a lot worse than they were, and there are lots and lots more shootings, yes?”
“Oh no. Can you imagine! They’ve utterly suppressed the NRA,” replied the woman. “And all the Americans, just like in Australia, have had to turn in their guns to the authorities. You should see how placid things are now, even at night.”
“And the police? Are they still brutalizing the blacks?”
“Oh, all that is over and done with. Equality has at last become a genuine democratic principle,” says the man, who happens to be brown.
“And the Islamic terrorism that was getting worse and worse when God called me to him?”
“The what? Oh that! That’s ancient history, Mr. President. Been eradicated,” assures the old woman, who used to live in fear for her life.
“And the United States is still the major power in the world?”
“Of course! How could you doubt it? We’re still first in economy and we’ve got military bases on every continent now. Pardon my telling you this, but we are even more proud than we were in your day!” the man and woman confirm, though a little embarrassed.
So Obama, satisfied with his short tour, and very reassured, thinks about getting back to paradise. On his way out, he asks the bartender: “What do I owe you for the beer? The bartender, a tall blue-eyed blond replies: “One Ruble.”

Been working on a new pictorial essay titled “It’s a Fake, Fake, Fake America” ….. you know, like that 60’s comedy movie ‘It’s a Mad Mad Mad World”
Jean-Claude Junker isn’t the only European fed up with Obama’s policies (starting war in Ukraine, pushing sterilizing GMO’s and vaccines, chemspraying, starting war in Syria and the refugee problem, sanctions on Russia that hurt Europe, letting NYC Banksters rob them of gold and cash, etc). And yesterday Obama dropped 50 tons of small arms weapons to the Syrian terrorist. I’m not surprised about that because he has been supplying his administration’s terrorist (FEMA, IRS, EPA, etc) millions of rounds of hollow point ammunition since he took office; but the timing is really an eye opener. Russian fighters had just sent a message to Turkey that Syrian airspace is now closed to them and but Obama still sends F-16’s to escort a C-17 dropping 50 tons to Syrian terrorist. Isn’t that like Obama “throwing down the gauntlet” at Putin’s feet. I’m convinced Obama wants a war in Syria to boost the economy, enact Martial Law and postpone elections, please the Zionist who want US to fight their enemies in Syria (since striking Iran directly is in great disfavor with everybody else), and because Putin has gotten Obama’s goat (one upped him) every time Obama opened his mouth. TPTB and their SOBPOTUS also want the economic collapse and Chaos ASAP to install an all electronic money system so TPTB can control all buying and selling and the SOBPOTUS can collect more taxes to advance his power base.

I figured out the war on terror was a farce long ago. In San Diego, the regional “fuel dump” storing about a month’s worth of gasoline for the region (Mission Valley Terminal) is stored just across the road from Qualcomm stadium. And rumor has it the fuel dump has been leaking fuel that is draining UNDERNEATH the stadium and has been for some time now. To say it’s a soft target for terrorists is a vast understatement.
Any reasonable person would suspect if there was indeed a real threat from terrorists, wouldn’t they have moved the fuel dump by now?

Yeah………the bankers. We don’t generate enough taxes to pay for this shit and the biggest revenue generating machine is war. We print money to pay for it and the bankers finance both sides taking their cut right off the top. Now that we have entered another state of perpetual war like the cold war, bankers are raking it in again. Unlike the cold war, the war on terror brings the added benefit of stealing our freedoms. It’s a real win-win for our owners!
UPDATE 13Oct2015 (New York Times) — Insurgent commanders say that since Russia began air attacks in support of the Syrian government, they are receiving for the first time bountiful supplies of powerful American-made antitank missiles. Bob comment: The Russians will now have to stop our C-17s even if it means war; this is the weapon class that caused the Russians to lose Afghanistan and Israel to lose in Lebanon.
