The war on terror is one of the main reasons why the US government tried to justify further authoritarianism. I think people should know about the costs it brings.

The US war on terror has cost at least $5 trillion and increased terrorism by 6,500%. It's kind of outdated so you can imagine just how much money has been used up at this point.

Same old, same old. Samuel Adams:

Anyone who against the republic (charter corp.) should face severe repercussions.

The 2nd claim is such a gatekeeping narrative.

Plus, terrorism has not increased near that amount nor is terrorism a threat to the west when the majority of it is state sponsored PsyOps.

That's a very good point, I think people are more likely to be killed by lightning than a terrorist attack.

The blowback theory has been debunked by Chris Rulon among others. The idea is to claim that terrorism is a problem because of US intervention negating to say that terrorists were Mossad and Israel with help from a 5th column in the US orchestrated 9/11 as pretext fr the Yinon war on terror.
