What does financial terrorism mean?

It means the big companies getting lots of money from ordinary persons. By decree, by the privately owned Federal Reserve, zero interest rates are here to stay. You do not get to borrow at those rates, only the member banks do. In the latest currency swap (loan) from the Fed to the ECB, European Central Bank, as we noted in previous issues over the last two months, that Europe has been forced to join the Anglo-American system. The system of zero interest rates and the continual creation of money and credit. Due to the Fed's ability to create endless supplies of money and credit it eventually took over the control of ECB and European monetary policy. These policies starkly point out the zero interest rates and monetary policy of endless money creation is the path to be taken probably by all in the system to lesser or greater degrees. That means no savings and that leaves speculation and the purchase of gold and silver related assets.

"In one year, the conditions were so reversed that the era of prosperity ended, and a depression set in, to such an extent that the streets of the Colonies were filled with unemployed…The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the International Bankers was the prime reason for the Revolutionary War." - Benjamin Franklin

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -Thomas Jefferson

"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes… Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." - Napoleon Bonaparte

"It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty of our government. More than eight millions of the stock of this bank are held by foreigners… is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country?… Controlling our currency, receiving our public moneys, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence… would be more formidable and dangerous than a military power of the enemy. If government would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favour alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles." - Andrew Jackson

Why is some terrorism carried out soft targets as opposed to military or political ones?

Easier to attack, like a school or shopping center, and more outrage since civilians are'nt combatents.

What type of terrorism was the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103?

What is probably the best description of the Lockerbie Bombing is that it was an act of retaliation by Libya for a number of attacks against Libyan military aircraft and ships by the US. Libya "artifically extended" its coastal territorial waters to include all of the Gulf of Sidra, and then attempted to "claim" the waters by confronting US military planes and naval ships. Lybia was clearly overmatched, and this resulted in a number of incidents where Libyan aircraft or naval craft were lost to US fire. A link can be found below.

Does the Koran condone terrorism?

Some say that it is proven fact that the Quran teaches Muslims to hate non Muslims.

This is not the truth. The Koran teaches love for Allah and all his people, not hate or terrorism.

See the related links below for more information.

Why do Senator Charles Schumer and Mrs Bill Clinton ignore the fact that Muslim radical terrorists are sneaking into upstate western New York by crossing the Great Lakes from Canada?

Because if they officially noticed it, then people would expect them to do something. As you are well aware, politicians are in their most comfortable position, when they talk a lot, and then do nothing.(I'm not slamming the lady senator. All politicians are pretty much lyin,stealing,backstabbin SOB's.) Probably because they are NOT. This concept which you right-wingers hatched has to be the stupidest one thing anyone ever came up with. I want you to consider the logistics here. If you were a terrorist and you wanted to sneak into the United States, would you attempt to cross Lake Ontario (which is, incidentally, patrolled by the Coast Guard and monitored by radar) or would you go to an unpopulated place along the border and just drive across?

How did the IRA get bombs into the UK?

They drove them in, they brought them in by boat. They brought parts in and assembled them there. They built them from materials that were already there. Security was not as tight as international security is nowadays, so it would have been a bit easier. Many were intercepted though.

What does the phrase state-sponsored terrorism imply?

Terrorism against a country or group of people that is funded by a national government in some way.

Are educated more involved in terrorism?

In many cases No. Most people who indulge in terrorism are uneducated youth from many oppressed societies who are made to believe that terrorism is the solution to their problem. Most terrorist factions pick up children from poverty stricken communities and train them up as terrorists.

How did islamophobia start?

Problems with the Term Islamophobia
"Islamophobia" really has no definition and can be easily applied to any criticism of Islam or of Muslim practices, even if the words are spoken by Muslims. Islamophobia, therefore encompasses a wide variety of concepts like:

  • Anti-Muslim Bigotry: The belief that Muslims as people are wicked or problematic. This is the Muslim rough equivalent to Anti-Semitism for Jews.
  • Anti-Islamicism: The belief that the ideology and beliefs of Islam as a religious construction and lifestyle manifesto promote wrong-doing or are seriously problematic to a multicultural society.
  • Anti-Islamism: The belief that Islam as politically manifest is capable of determining actual laws promotes inequality, injustice, and moral incorrectness.


Criticism
People accused of being Islamophobic are often claimed to be "extreme" and to use violent and racist comments against Muslims. (Admittedly, it is unclear what could be racist about Anti-Muslim statements since Islam prides itself on being for all races and all peoples, but this term is used instead of "religionist" or "bigot".) This makes it very easy for Muslims and Muslim apologists to claim that any incendiary remark, whether factual or farce is "racist" and therefore wrong without actually considering the point of view.

Additionally, the use of the term "phobia" implies that the fear of Muslims, Islam, or Islamism, is entirely irrational, just like the fear of the number 13 or the fear of heights. This is absurd since, unlike the number 13 or the heights, Muslims actually do things. Whether as a group they do more good or ill is certainly worth a discussion, but this moves the "fear" from being irrational (decided without evidence) to rational (decided with evidence). It would therefore, not be "phobia" but a conclusion, in the same way that all other hatreds are conclusions.

Discussion of the History of Anti-Muslim Bigotry:

Anti-Muslim Bigotry, began in the Middle Ages and was a much more visceral religious and political hatred of Islam than what we see today. There was a real fear in Europe that the OMINOUS THEY were going to take over. Islam, therefore, became the boogeyman and regardless of what Islam actually represents (or represented at that time) it was painted with colors of that immeasurable fear. Islam was a major world power for much of the Middle Ages. Umayyad Spain fought against three proto-Spanish States. Abbassid coins have been found as far away as Sweden. Ottoman armies besieged Vienna, Austria. It was not wholly inconceivable that the "European Way of Life" would come under direct threat. (This was similar to the perspective of the antebellum U.S. South.)

Hatred of Muslims shifted in tone and character during the Enlightenment Period. John Adams once wrote in a Treaty with the Barbary States (of North Africa) that "America being free of religion has no quarrel with Musselmen". Islamic States were no longer threatening and much of the majority-Muslim areas of the world were subsequently colonized by European powers. Since World War II, there has been a massive immigration of Muslims into Europe, once again leading to many Europeans feeling like they are being invaded by a political force. This rekindled the Middle Age symbols but in an entirely new light.

What is the difference between counter-terrorism vs anti-terrorism?

Was the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack predestined by higher beings?

Answer

No, the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack were the work of some lower beings.

Answer

These things that happen are meant to happen for a reason you may not understand. It is written, man is just a human with limited understanding. You can interpret 9/11 in the bible in the book of Revelations. The fruit of man has been shown it's up to you to find it. If you do not live in darkness what you find may shock you utterly.

Answer

This is such a hard question to answer. I believe in God and there is no way we can ever understand his plan for us. We look at things in this world in a much smaller perspective and we can't understand why bad things happen to good people. I would like to say that I don't think God would curse the U.S. for anything or any other country. Sometimes I feel God gives us all a wake-up call. Countries fighting amongst each other and people not helping other people. The people killed in 9/11 should be held in high regard on that fatal day. There were many heroes on those planes and that last plane managed to control things so there was not more damage and gave up their lives doing so. We must honor their memory realizing not one country is totally safe and that we must all band together to protect each other. To give of ourselves, to love others as we love ourselves and to help where we can. We should make their deaths worthwhile.

Now that the hurricane has hit Mississippi, New Orleans, etc., it appears the end of time is almost upon us. I don't think so, and if we look back in history our weather, earth, etc., is constantly changing and natural disasters do occur however unfair it may seem. I am amazed at the faith those poor victims have even after all they have been through. Having a great faith in God helps you get through many difficult times in your lives and also gives one great strength. These cities will be built again and with each disaster they learn how to prevent this from ever happening again. I have watched the news and seen whites helping blacks and vice-versa and I've seen people come together. Other countries banning together to help as best they can, States opening up their homes and hearts to put as many of these victims in a good home and it's all about survival. Helping each other (no matter what our race) and believing in God we can conquer anything.

Answer

If you were to follow the documentary evidence of the entire fiasco you may conclude that it had more to do with Politics and greed than with God.

There are a lot of conspiracy theories, which suggest that the despicable act had more to do with the internal governance than with external fanatics.

You should consider the fact that the Government now has the authority to encroach upon the basic rights and freedoms of the citizenry under the so-called Anti-Terrorism Legislation. The creators of the Man-God in their image and likeness have found another ingenious way to keep their subjects under control. They can now invade your privacy with impunity and now with the use of advance technology they are equal to GOD. With the used of satellite technology they can be here, there and everywhere. They can see you when your sleeping, see you when your awake and they can hear every sound that you make. They can create biological agents that make you sick and then they can create expensive antidotes as cures.

The higher beings are not aliens but those egocentric megalomaniacs we appoint to GOVERN us.

Answer

There was a scam going around that said: "The flight number of ill fated flight was Q33N. Open a new word document on your computer . Put caps lock on type the above flight number. Select the font to 72. Again select and change the font to wingdings. You will get your answer."

It's hogwash. There are no single letter 'Q' flights. The American Airlines aircraft flight would start AA or AAL, the United Airlines Flight would start UA or UAL. The flight numbers were 11 and 175 and 77 (pentagon) respectively.

Answer

A few people have been said to predict it such as Nostradamus and Valerie Clarke, a British psychic who predicted it on a chatshow.

Funny how neither Nostradamus or Clarke got noticed. A lot of this sort of thing is retro-predictions. Psychics have been known to fake footage of themselves giving predictions, and N. did his work centuries ago and all kinds of people make up new, phony N. predictions.

Is the DHS properly organized to deter terrorism?

The DHS is structured to coordinate and implement efforts to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism. However, the effectiveness of its organization in deterring terrorism is a subject of debate. Some argue that there is room for improvement in information sharing and coordination between agencies within the DHS, while others believe that it has made significant strides in enhancing the security posture of the United States.

Are there any examples of terrorism that can be morally justified?

There is no justification for terrorism. There may be justification for terror... as in torture to get information that saves hundreds of lives.

It is not black and white. There are, at least, hypothetical situations where terrorism can be morally justified. My question is if there are any real life situations that are arguably morally justifiable.

On the other hand, terrorism employed in conjunction with guerrilla warfare in a protracted war of liberation may well prove useful and therefore also justified, as it did in Algeria and South Vietnam. Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy

Is Al-Qaeda associated with any political parties?

Answer 1

In the West, no. However, al-Qaeda does have links with several political parties in the Islamic World, such as the Taliban, al-Nusra, the Islamic Brotherhood, etc.

Answer 2
  • Al Qaeda (Arabic for "the base") was founded in 1988
  • It is a complex international Islamist terrorist network made up of regional affiliate organizations and clandestine cells with varying degrees of communication with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, the group's ideological and operational leaders.
  • Al Qaeda's core leadership and operatives are made up of veterans of the war against the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan during the 1980s.
  • They received finance mainly from Saudi Arabia and received training mainly from the US.
  • It is commanded, to a degree, by Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri.
  • Since 1998 Al Qaeda has operated through a coalition of terror organizations.
  • They have strong ties and coordination with the International Muslim Brotherhood but not associated with any political party.

Is the Israeli assault on Hamas justified?

* Both sides in this dispute claim that they are justified. * Both sides are probably right.

However, the fact that someone is justified in taking a course of action does not mean that they ought to, or even must, take that course of action.

Both sides over-react - which is always the danger when people are diametrically opposed to each other's attitudes.
