Do You Belive Terrorism is Real?

submitted by TheMaharishi from (self.WorldPolitics)

So hear me out. If terrorism actually was a real thing. Instead of simply spy shit done by governments and their puppeters. To manipulate the population. In combination with spin on the news. I mean the news decide what to call what.

Why isn't there a drone attack on the White House every week? I mean if you can organize 911. Getting your hands on a drone for a few K and loading it up. Would be easy no? They basically never kill any important people. It's always just a random bunch of servants dying. Attacks also seems to coincide with major plays being done on the stage.

To answer the question "Is terrorism real," you first have to address the question "What is terrorism?"

Do people commit acts that meet some legal definition of terrorism? Of course. But those definitions tend to be incredibly broad.

I guess if we're just talking, and not trying a court case, questions like "Did Elliot Rodger commit an act of terrorism" are kind of interesting. Violence against random civilians in support of an agenda? Absolutely. An agenda representative of any powerful anti-government force? Hardly.

It's real and there's also false flags. For instance bin laden really did attacks in the late 90s but he didn't do 9/11.

Technically, it's just cowardice masquerading as courage. It takes zero bravery to set off a bomb at a mosque (which is usually where they get set-off for some bizarre reason) or shoot a rocket over a border. But it's a real thing. Just look at the cowards at Hamas. They engage in it every day with zero results.
