Barcelona "Terrorist" Attacks

in barcelona •  8 years ago 

There has been another "terrorist" attack. This time in Barcelona. I haven't heard any of the details, just caught a few minutes of the news on the radio, thought the better of it and switched it off, but I heard enough to stimulate some thoughts; and these I would like to share with you.

I am not just sceptical about the likes of "Islamic State" and "Al Quieda", I am downright suspicious. There are alleged links between both of these "terrorist organisations" and the CIA... and to be frank, I wouldn't put such a black op beyond the scope of the CIA.

And I don't consider myself to be a tinfoil hate wearing nutter. I have seen enough evidence to know that there is a reasonable chance the CIA are involved.

I went to observe one of the notorious, so-called beheadings on YouTube, and it was as fake as fake can be. The nice people at Islamic State even edited out the actual "beheading" (sensitive souls!). All you saw was a bloke with a knife that you'd be tested to cut a loaf with, standing behind a bloke on his knees who didn't even seem that bothered that he was about to be beheaded by a six inch blade. And then they conveniently cut to a supposed body without a head, but it just looked like a shapeless lump to me.

And then there are the photos I've seen of Isis, riding pristine trucks, all the same make and colour, with pristine black and white flags. They were so shiny and new they just looked to me like they had been pulled out of a warehouse and brought onto a "dressed set" (as props men would call it). It all just screamed of fakery.

I remember watching the movie, "Wag The Dog" maybe a couple of decades ago, and being amused by what I then considered to be an interesting fiction. Now, I see that movie as prescient.

And then you have to consider this... after the fall of the Russian Communist empire, the West no longer had a boogie man to scare us all into compliance. So, it just seems a tad convenient that Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden (also a CIA operative, known as Tim Osman) suddenly appeared to fill the void.

Just a coincidence?

Well, even if you think so, and you believe our various Western government's narrative, consider this... if Al Qaeda and Islamic State are actually genuine, are you surprised at them trying to fight back? The USA and the UK and their various allies have illegally invaded the sovereign nations of Afghanistan and Iraq, and have bombed the likes of Libya and Syria... killing over 1,000, 000 people (that's like killing the entire population of a large city) and making countless millions homeless, as well as destroying the infrastructure of these countries... and creating a catastrophic refugee problem, which has resulted in thousands upon thousands of refugees drowning in the Mediterranean.

Ask yourself this... If your family were killed and injured in a rocket attack by a foreign nation, would you maybe consider signing up to an organisation to fight back.

Whichever way you look at it - whether you believe the CIA is involved in a black op or not - our nations are culpable in the terrorism that we are now suffering in our own countries. If our governments stopped their bloody murder and their greedy grab for other nations minerals, gas and oil, we would see a pretty quick diminishment of so-called "terrorism"... of course, it would mean more expensive oil and gas... but in the end, I believe it would be worth it!

Thank you for upvoting and resteeming. I appreciate it. Yeah... and it has only had 10 view so far too. I guess that's what happens when you are a newbie and a tiny minnow. I have seen a lot of boring, irrelevant, fatuous nonsense posted by well-established folk that get loads of votes and lots of dollars in remuneration. There is little justice... but I guess the only way to build an audience is to keep plugging away until you build up a momentum. I will NOT give up. 51 Followers and growing....

You are welcome... that's true. There is a lot of crap out there, and just because the posters are well-established thhis crap earns a ton of money.... our only way is to keep posting quality stuff ... keep growing!
