What is REAL terrorism?

[radioflyer]

Terrorism is defined as using use of terror especially as a means of coercion. The government and their media puppets would like us to believe that the only terrorists are Allah-chanting radicals that blow up buildings. Let me ask you this: what other “groups” use similar scare tactics to induce a desirable behavior? Lets look at a couple examples that fit the definition. :

The federal government - using strategic bias media stories to perpetuate support of an increasingly unpopular agenda. Constantly reminding us that they have the power to take away whatever liberties theey want on a whim

“Minority” organizations - threatening "marching", lawsuits and black listing against individuals or groups who dare to speak their mind if it might "offend" someone of a particular race, gender, religion or orientation....reguardless of hte conteext or intent of such statements.

Technically, George Bush’s “War on Terror” means that America should go to war with the US government since it is a threat to America itself.

Makes you think…..

The four greatest threats to America are corrupt government,corrupt financial intuitions, corrupt media and last but not least political correctness which prevents people from knowing the real enemies. This by no means is a full list but it is at the top with all this corrected no country or terrorist can defeat the American people.

Corruptness is a byproduct of power. Those who obtain power prefer to keep it and in order to do so, will break rules to prevent others from obtaining similar power. Corruption is an expression of the Win-Lose concept when those in power publicly admit to a win-win scenario for a group as a whole.

Ironically, this can be best illustrated by a cartel-monopoly situation. two firms agree to set production to a given level to maximize price. There's always an incentive for one firm to produce more at that price to raise profits, even if the other firm looses.

The biggest issue is that in a given population, groups or sects will form that attempt to maximize the use of resources among themselves even at the expense of the rest of the population. At some point, that group no longer needs express it's will by force, rather the threat of force is often enough to induce compliance from the rest of the population.
