@KBAntifa Vergessen wir aber auch nicht, dass dies zum Grund für den #WarOnTerror erklärt wurde, den zweiten #Irak- und dem #Afghanistan-Krieg auslöste, obwohl der Angriff durch Saudis ausgeführt und vorbereitet wurde. Das seither jeder Muslim unter Islamismus-Verdacht steht. Das der War on Terror 100x mehr Tote gefordert hat, uns die Bilder aus #AbuGhraib und das #CollateralMurder-Video beschert hat. #KeinVergessen auch für diese Opfer

@KristianHarstad Also #remember this and the other pictures from the #torture prison in #AbuGhraib, #Iraq - the first country G.W. #Bush invaded for the #WarOnTerror as retaliation that had nothing to do with the attack on the Twin Towers which was masterminded by #Saudis. Also remember the #CollateralMurder video. Remember how you put every Muslim under suspicion. Remember Afghanistan and how you (Edit: the US) betrayed it's people. #NeverForget

Continuing report #DemocracyNow #TrevorAaronson : “living in this post-9/11 era, with the ‘war on terror’ waning, the #FBI still very much has the powers that it attained as a result of the ‘#waronterror.’ …in the hunt for terrorists, finding fewer terrorists now, they are turning these powers toward other targets, including political activists…” Part 2: Meet the Colorado Springs Activist Suing the FBI & Police After Being Targeted by Undercover Agent #BLM #Denver #Aurora #Colorado #housing

Le agenzie d'intelligence hanno un disperato bisogno di nemici, tanto da costruirseli da se.
Ne va della loro stessa sopravvivenza.

During the War on Terror, the #FBI manufactured its own domestic terror plots (that it then boasted of breaking up) by targeting young, poor Muslims with mental health issues to lure them into the FBI's plots - just as they do now with its domestic war:

Osama bin Laden was born #OTD in 1957. His 9/11 attack targeted the core of US imperialism; finance and military leadership; yet the US state was able to seduce a willing population into feeling personally attacked, leading to a cancerous and potentially terminal growth of the military industrial complex, which might ultimately fulfill bin Laden’s objectives.
