The Enemies of Freedom
Guest Post by Eric Peters
They’ve struck again.
You know… the enemies of freedom (as they are styled, post-Chimp).
In fact – and this is surefire NSA nacht und nebel stuff – they hate us for our government. The government that sends B52s and depleted uranium rounds and drones and McDonald’s and much worse to their “homelands.” This is no apologia for the religion of Islam – which is more than usually violent and demented but only because it is still taken literally by many Koran readers while the Bible’s most demented portions are generally ignored nowadays.
The point, though, isn’t religion.
It’s policy.
The US War On Terror Has Cost $5 Trillion And Increased Terrorism By 6,500%
Submitted by Darius Shahtahmasebi via TheAntiMedia.org,
On September 11, 2001, one of the most tragic events in recent American history took place. Close to 3,000 civilians lost their lives in horrific terror attacks that took place on American soil. Fifteen years later, it is time to ask the question: have our counterterror efforts helped to reduce the amount of terrorism in the world? Or at the very least, have they tried to make the world safer?
According to a report released by Dr. Neta Crawford, professor of political science at Brown University, spending by the United States Departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security, and Veteran Affairs since 9/11 is now close to $5 trillion USD. Before we have the chance to ask how a country that has racked up over $19.3 trillion USD in debt can spend $5 trillion USD on war, the focus of this article is to ask: What has all of this spending achieved?

MUSLIM ATTACKS SIX & KILLS AMERICAN WOMAN, BUT IT ISN’T TERRORISM
I find the narrative from the MSM and politicians to be hysterical. They describe the attacker as Norwegian. Oh – so he’s tall, white and blonde. Right? Not exactly. He happens to be of Somali descent. Oh yeah. All Somalis are black and 98.6% of them are Muslim. But, this isn’t a terrorist attack. He was just mentally unstable. Yeah. That’s the ticket. I’m sure the next mass murder will be committed by a white Catholic guy. Right? I’m sure the Muslim mayor of London will call a spade a spade.
Armed Police Fill London Streets Morning After “Deranged” Knife Attacker Kills US Woman

London has boosted up its police response, with armed police on the streets today after a 19-year old Norwegian citizen, of Somali descent, stabbed and killed a US woman in her 60’s and injured five others in Central London’s Russell Square at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night as reported las night.
The 5 injured people were British, American, Israeli and Australian but none are thought to have suffered life threatening injuries. Two of the injured victims remain in a hospital, while three others have been discharged. The attacker was arrested on the scene and remains in police custody on suspicion of murder.
The incident came within hours of an announcement by London police that they were putting more armed officers on the streets. The idea was to sustain public confidence following attacks by ISIS-inspired groups in Europe. As CBC adds, the move was important because police in Britain do not carry guns for the most part — a principle that remains unchanged. Even with the additional armed officers, most of London’s 31,000 police officers will not be armed.

The Triviality of Terrorism
The Triviality of Terrorism
In the general scheme of manmade disasters, terrorism is trivial. That’s not even debatable, as I’ll itemize below. Westerners who’ve been consuming televised fears for 15 years straight may object, but fear has nothing to do with truth… and very much the opposite.
And I’ll skip through the obvious fact that I’m opposed to people being murdered by maniacs and the equally obvious acknowledgment that terrorism is a very big thing to the people involved.
The Facts
When deciding whether a statement is true or false, facts should decide. If we let ourselves imagine that fear makes something true, we doom ourselves to lives of abuse.
So, let’s take a look at the facts.
HOW THE LEFT VIEWS ISLAMIC TERRORISM
Here’s What The FBI Was Doing Instead Of Catching The Orlando Shooter
After the most recent mass shooting in Orlando, Florida — the worst in U.S. history — one might ask how the FBI was able to investigate the perpetrator, twice, without deciding to take any further action. This question is further confounded by the fact the perpetrator was, according to his wife, an abusive, unstable man suffering from bipolar disorder.
A more appropriate question would be: what is the role of the FBI in counter-terror operations? How were they not able to prevent this incident, despite “preventing” hundreds of high profile incidents prior to this?
Out of the 508 terrorism-related cases since September 11, 2001, more often than not, the FBI has had a hand in creating the very terrorist threat they have claimed to be protecting us from. Two-hundred and forty-three of these cases involved an FBI informant. In many instances, the targets of these operations, who are later accused of plotting attacks, are not only almost always Muslim, but they are also often suffering from a mental illness, such as schizophrenia. Moreover, the targets are also vulnerable and easily susceptible to bribery as they are desperate for money – so desperate, it seems, they will help put their own friends behind bars.
This can be seen most clearly in the Newburgh Four case, which saw a combination of mental illness and an urgent need for money. One of the “Four,” James Cromitie, was a former drug addict who repeatedly tried to back out, saying “I don’t want anyone to get hurt.” In the words of a U.S. Court Judge, “only the government could have made a “terrorist” out of Mr. Cromitie.”
Another defendant in the Newburgh case, Laguerre Payan, suffered from schizophrenia to the extent he kept bottles of urine in his apartment. David Williams, another of the four, had a brother who needed a liver transplant, and he was prepared to do almost anything for the money to pay for it.

Donald Trump’s speech on Orlando shooting and national security
Thank you for joining me today.
This was going to be a speech on Hillary Clinton and how bad a President, especially in these times of Radical Islamic Terrorism, she would be.
Even her former Secret Service Agent, who has seen her under pressure and in times of stress, has stated that she lacks the temperament and integrity to be president.
There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss these important issues at a later time, and I will deliver that speech soon.
But today there is only one thing to discuss: the growing threat of terrorism inside of our borders.
The attack on the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, was the worst terrorist strike on our soil since September 11th, and the worst mass shooting in our country’s history.
So many people dead, so many people gravely injured, so much carnage, such a disgrace.
The horror is beyond description.
The families of these wonderful people are totally devastated. Likewise, our whole nation, and indeed the whole world, is devastated.
We express our deepest sympathies to the victims, the wounded, and their families.
We mourn, as one people, for our nation’s loss – and pledge our support to any and all who need it.
I would like to ask now that we all observe a moment of silence for the victims of the attack.
[SILENCE]
Our nation stands together in solidarity with the members of Orlando’s LGBT Community.
This is a very dark moment in America’s history.

I WONDER WHAT THESE COUNTRIES HAVE IN COMMON?
I wonder what these numbers looked like before we brought our brand of democracy to the Middle east by invading Iraq in 2003. Isn’t it funny the two countries we “liberated” have by far the most terrorist attacks today. Mission Accomplished!!!!

German Flirt Courses for Refugees to Get Lucky
Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Well when a politician refuses to admit she ever made a mistake, what do you do, you go all the way. Believe it of not, Germany is creating Flirting Courses to help refugee men get lucky. Yes, taxpayer money is now trying to get the refugees lucky with German girls. So if you thought you have seen it all, the insanity never ends. There is always room for more when politicians are involved.
Meanwhile, in Munich, a beautiful city, one person has been killed and several were injured as an Islamist extremist wielded in a knife and attacked people in the rail station shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”) stabbing people randomly.
And BTW, now 2/3rds of Germans have had enough of Merkel according to the latest polls.
OBAMA DEFEATING TERRORISM
The Financial System Is A Larger Threat Than Terrorism
Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
In the 21st century Americans have been distracted by the hyper-expensive “war on terror.” Trillions of dollars have been added to the taxpayers’ burden and many billions of dollars in profits to the military/security complex in order to combat insignificant foreign “threats,” such as the Taliban, that remain undefeated after 15 years. All this time the financial system, working hand-in-hand with policymakers, has done more damage to Americans than terrorists could possibly inflict.
The purpose of the Federal Reserve and US Treasury’s policy of zero interest rates is to support the prices of the over-leveraged and fraudulent financial instruments that unregulated financial systems always create. If inflation was properly measured, these zero rates would be negative rates, which means not only that retirees have no income from their retirement savings but also that saving is a losing proposition. Instead of earning interest on your savings, you pay interest that shrinks the real value of your saving.
Central banks, neoliberal economists, and the presstitute financial media advocate negative interest rates in order to force people to spend instead of save. The notion is that the economy’s poor economic performance is not due to the failure of economic policy but to people hoarding their money. The Federal Reserve and its coterie of economists and presstitutes maintain the fiction of too much savings despite the publication of the Federal Reserve’s own report that 52% of Americans cannot raise $400 without selling personal possessions or borrowing the money. http://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/2013-report-economic-well-being-us-households-201407.pdf

TERRORISM
The War On Terror Has Created 6500% More Terrorism
Submitted by Kit O’Connell via TheAntiMedia.org,
An analysis of terror attacks since 2002 suggests U.S. efforts to combat terrorism – i.e., the “War on Terror” – have led to a dramatic increase in death and suffering from terrorism.
Published this year on Sept. 11, Paul Gottinger, a staff reporter for Reader Supported News, analyzed incidents of terrorism from George Bush declaring the war on terror in the aftermath of 9/11 through the present, and found a staggering 6,500 percent increase in terrorism. Gottinger, who used data provided by the State Department in his analysis, found that casualties have increased by 4,500 percent.
Countries occupied by or being bombed the U.S. military seem to fare worst of all:

NEW YORK TIMES VETTING OBAMA
The New York Times Just Memory-Holed This Devastating Obama Admission

The New York Times Just Memory-Holed This Devastating Obama Admission
“Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino.”
A story published by the New York Times late Thursday night caused some major media waves. The story, which was written by reporters Peter Baker and Gardiner Harris, included a remarkable admission by Obama about his response to the recent terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
By Friday morning, however, the entire passage containing Obama’s admission had been erased from the story without any explanation from the New York Times. Here’s the passage that was included in the story when it was published Thursday night, courtesy of CNN’s Brian Stelter:
In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. Republicans were telling Americans that he is not doing anything when he is doing a lot, he said.
The version of the New York Times story that was published early Thursday evening indicated that Obama knew he was out of touch with the country on terrorism, and he thought that was due to not watching enough television. Obama critics immediately pounced on the stunning admission from the president, expressing shock that he would claim that a lack of TV time was the real reason for him not understanding Americans’ anxiety about terrorism.
