I'm One. So Are You.
Britain passed a law delineating statements which glorify terrorists as criteria for listing as same. The US terrorist list has grown to over 325,000. Stating that London and 9/11 were deserved response to histories of colonialism and aggression might cause inclusion. I said it. Count me in!
Not content with taking land and life, Zatikia's post below tells how Usukers now consider the internet itself as enemy to be conquered. You are here. You are a terrorist too!
A differing definition of terrorist, one to which I lean, and that acknowledged through much of the world, might be no more than having Usuk citizenship. Given such view, my terrorist list could be compiled by census count. The CIA gives populations of the US and UK as 295,734,134 and 50,441,457 respectively. Those add to 346,175,591 Usuker terrorists.
Ha! My list is a thousand times bigger than theirs. I win! And, I believe there is more truth to that than not.
If it weren't for destruction, death, and ruined lives brought by machinations of the list makers, the short sighted arrogance behind their attempts born of dreams concocted from yesterday's world would be considered silly and laughable. What they don't seem to have completely grasped is the full implication of very recent, profound, and unescapable changes that have effected all societies. Advances in transportation and communication have altered the slant of fields of action between old perpetrators of misery and previously yearning victims who now rise to read the rules of conquest backwards.
Technological shrinkage allows Usukers to rapidly send death dealing bombs, boats, bullies, and bullshit anywhere. No matter the speed or target, it also creates today an appropriate reception which might be properly accompanied with the blues line "You better treat me right or let me be, 'cause I can beat you doing what you're doing to me".
If extremism is right, then so be it. I believe there has to be a space for change.
1. Most men and women of Usuk are innocent and ignorant, unaware what their govts are doing. Not only are they unaware, they have no chance of being aware, that's the kind of control the administration wields.
2. More importantly, this terror empire is not only made up of those in the Usuk. They have their allies, carefully chosen in other nations. Africans, Indians, Japanese...none of the crimes alleged would have been possible if this marriage of the rulers there with the rulers right here had not taken place.
It would appear to me that leaving ones country, opening their minds and learning processes, and coming to the conclusion that the country you thought worth saving is not, is change in ones ideas in the very essence of it. A continuous process. Is it extreme to see it as a whole, not fragmented down, this country that threatens the world? Are we to forgive it and give it a kinder view but because some in it we feel can be excluded from the blame? To long that has been the disguise of America, but we are do gooders, we are but the people, innocent and unknowing in our ignorance. Evil is made of many ingredients to reach the peak it has in America, its not the yeses and the nos that tell the story, it is the whole. America is as it is in order for it to do what America does.
What is this word Terrorist? What has it become in its new glorified position in a society that rallies around such words? The crime with Americans is they are willfully ignorant. They all have the same choices. Should terrorist apply just to a president, or a believer flying an airplane into a tower? Or should it apply to those too who make that a reality by living and acting as they do? Choosing this form of ignorance is accepting terrorism to promote and provide for it. You cannot separate yourself from the source.
It is obvious knowledge that the USUKers are just the show out front and one of the main contributing factors in history, but that each country has its evil men too. That is government and should not be forgiven and is not. I see no forgiveness here on this forum for any of those sort. But time is short and effort important, look at the main source of the threat to the world, America, stop it and you will have a lot clearer playing field to sort the others out as they should be.
Its all in the names we become loyal to a mom .See america is the name of the land i was born the usa goverment in its whole from beging even to now was to become a world leader .The people not of america even friends who say we should have walls when even there own kin came here generations ago what if the natives one this whole place sea to sea and all the way around had put a wall wow not spanish wow not english wow no americans wow just more wars to leave there places of birth to a better place .Old saying the grass is allways greener on the other side Now do i stand on what side of a fence not of my making but a goverments making and people who think mine is allways greener when we all make it brown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is "extreme" depends on two ends of a line of sight. Its use often tells more about the user than those it labels.
Another interesting word is "ignorant". Note the root "ignore", an intentional turning aside from harsh truths of life from which others cannot. Its cleansed derivation is often used in vain attempt to shed guilt and qualify those of similar sort as "innocent" while self deceptively feigning craziness of the "How come everybody's always picking on me" syndrome.
Though the illness runs as rampant epidemic in Usuk, it also infects many in other nations, primarily those of northern Europe. Nor, are all elsewhere imune. The causative contagion everywhere is fixation on personal welfare over that of others rather than attention to the common good.
There is a less disingenuous use of those words. They have value to determine whom one regards as enemy and which are selected as friends. My friends and I know ours. I wonder if those crowned inocent by ignorance can get honest about theirs?
The point of the post is that it really makes no difference whether they can or not. Recent world changes have brought about the pay back time during which personal futures will be determined by the collectors' perceptions of which side one has chosen to aid.
While it is true that there are many americans who know and see but refuse to acknowledge, that hardly applies to all of them. The rulers in the Usuk, and those who support them willing to forget the crimes they do, are the terrorists. And there are those in both those nations, working in their fields or farms and not even knowing who their President or PM is, let alone the crimes they are committed to carrying out. Of course it is the job of every person in a country to learn and be aware and critical of those rule. So yes, if that farmer or fieldsman is killed in a terrorist attack, I agree none of us need to shed any tears; he might have been innocent as regards any crime, but guilty of a very big mistake. Political indifference...leading to political detachment. But...please do not call a politically disengaged farmer a terrorist. Though yes, revel and cheer his death in an attack with loads of champagne, he asked for it, no less.
I wonder what the percentage of Americans are who have not heard of Bush, just out on their little plots of land hoeing away in blissful ignorance and no television.
Why the conclusion if one is called part of a terrorist nation that they must die for it and a celebration called for? I do believe you are thinking with the mind of the enemy, not those who want to be free of them. Why is death the answer to be rid of a problem for your sort? Look further for your solutions than that. You build a fantasy here to stand in truths way. Thank you for your thoughts, but I suggest you move along on to someplace that is for protecting America and what it does, not exposing it.
