America: A Motive For Terror. News&Opinion

News&Opinion
By, Rev. Jermano
This article is about a conversation I had with someone concerning America and Terror. My comments are in bold.
Jumping in on your side to defend against statements made by an adversary (of little faith in his country, or understanding) who constantly misquotes and/or prints outright lies to degrade our nation for which he claims to be an American. When American's trample and spit on the flag the concept of freedom is endangered. To disagree and to fight for change is American and I will fight for anyone's right to have their say... "If we ignore the rights of the least of us, the rights of all are threatened." But to print lies and slanderous propaganda to express one's hatred of the country that has done more to promote the ideals of freedom is Un-American!
The following is a recap of a statement made by a person who attacks you while claiming to be "Somewhere in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />China?" And claiming to be a man of the God, whereas, this ploy is often used to cloak the true identify in the image of honesty and truthfulness... a classic propaganda ploy! And his own statements make evident exactly who he is and what he stands for, need I say more!
"And yet when I do nonviolent acts and say I hate Violence.....And say I hate America because of its violence I am some wacko, some nutcase, some illogical baffoon. I will never understand America's idea of Democracy."
And his own statements (above) he makes it VERY evident who he is and what he stands for, need I say more! America didn't cast the first stone, but we will cast the last stone..."Don't Tread On Us!" It brings a committment for unity to protect our nation from the VIOLENT acts committed against America by enemies who desire to see us suffer; violent acts, such as "Pearl Harbour" and "911"... "E Pluribus Unum"!

Here are the issues to the story:
{Hawaii was occupied and stolen from the original natives people who lived there by the United States. http://www.nowpublic.com/world/james-kimo-akahi-haiku-claims-be-king-hawaii also
President Roosevelt (FDR) provoked the attack, knew about it in advance and covered up his failure to warn the Hawaiian commanders. FDR needed the attack to sucker Hitler to declare war, since the public and Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe. It was his backdoor to war. http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/6315/pearl.html
Japan was attacking China also because the British and USA were in control of China government because of winning the Opium Wars, and they continued the trade in China's capitol city Nanjing at that time. Japan attacked Nanjing in an attempt to force the West out of China. The USA at that time was also trying to setup opium trade into Japan, and Japan was vehemently against Opium in their country. America wanted to gain similar concessions that the British got when they took Hong Kong, by getting their own Hong Kong named Japan.}
{And 911 was an inside job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GLK3A1LMMU&feature=user

You said: And his own statements (above) he makes it VERY evident who he is and what he stands for, need I say more! America didn't cast the first stone, but we will cast the last stone..."Don't Tread On Us!"

"E Pluribus Unum"!
The problem with this Mr. -- is that when you use violence and support it, it is impossible to prove your own country didn't committ the act of terror. America the said "most developed country in the world, the most powerful" was vulnerable to Japan, and binLadin? The evidence proves otherwise, when President Bush says he believes in throwing the first stone in preemptive strikes.
DJ, you throw around statements that are unproven, such as, the conspiracy of FDR’s role in using the Pacific Fleet as bait to enter WWII. This is not a new theory, but instead an old conspiracy. Where is the PROOF? What instituted the Japanese attack on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Pearl Harbor was a simple fact that ALL empires (including Japan) were drawing to a close (explained below). And as for Hawaii, the five big families of, so called, religious orders… went to Hawaii to do good! And they did damm well! The religious interests, or should I say their business interests were used to politically establish military interests in Hawaii. And by the way, several islands in the West Indies became the properties of the USA, through the outcome of the Spanish American War… suppose you believe we stole them from Spain? Or, was it Spain (and other nations) who stole them from the Carib Indians, who by the way no longer exist.
This pretty much sums up my feelings about those who choose to attack America, and to put on notice ALL those believers who promote embracing their enemy through non-violence to achieve peace. Well, they’re playing what I call “mental-masturbation” which is incubated by their naïveté’ when facing the reality of good vs. evil! Gandhi was a man of peace and his non-violence was instrumental in bringing down a curtain (not the final curtain) on the British Empire, who were more than occupiers, in that, they’d claimed India as part of their Kingdom. The Brits Along with many other nations at the time had empires throughout the world, whereas, they dominated and ruled over other nations, these being the Dutch, French, Belgium’s, Italians, Germans, Spanish, Japan, etc. But, some here need to be aware of a little know fact – “the final curtain” – which was instituted by none other than the United States of America.
A history lessen is necessary, so as, some of these – “turn the other cheek” – mofo’s get a grip on who really brought to close the centuries of empires reign during the latter half of the 20th century. Now pay attention DJ (somewhere in China – right!) You need not try and break-down my every word, instead go to any site and get a grip on what was agreed in the Atlantic Charter, who initiated it, and what it has led to since 1941. It goes like this. . .
Firstly, America does not seek to rule, nor would American's allow our government to rule over any peoples. Instead America has been forced to take a leadership position due to the outcome of WWII. America, unlike Rome (and Romans) has sought to share power. The proof lies in the simple fact that America today remains a Republic, and the "European Empires" that did rule waived their power and rule when America and Britain created "The Atlantic Charter," in a secret meeting held in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland (Canada), between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, who had sailed aboard the HMS Prince of Wales. FDR refused to commit U.S. troops to the conflict that raged in Europe, unless, the principals of "The Atlantic Charter" were agreed upon, the date was 8th August 1941, three months before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. America’s entry into the war (we're not gloating), but we saved your sorry European asses from the mess you've made of Europe by your own doing, after the turn of the 19th century – two World Wars. The bottom-line is that Churchill had to agree to the principals of "The Atlantic Charter," representing and obligating His Majesty's Government (King George of England) and the British people," which in-turn led to the "North Atlantic Treaty," which in-turn led to the creation of the United Nations; and, the final dismantling of the European Empire's rule around the globe and the exploitation of millions of people.
In brief, the eight points of “The Atlantic Charter” were:
1. No territorial gains were to be sought by the United States or the United Kingdom.
2. Territorial adjustments must be in accord with the wishes of the peoples concerned.
3. All peoples had a right to self-determination.
4. Trade barriers were to be lowered.
5. There was to be global economic cooperation and advancement of social welfare.
6. Freedom from want and fear.
7. Freedom of the seas.
8. Disarmament of aggressor nations, postwar common disarmament.
If you would please note #3 (above), this acknowledgement brought down the – “final curtain” – and lead to the end of the Empires rule! Remember, that Europe was in dire straits and FDR had refused to join the Allied Forces, unless, the concession of the Atlantic Charter were met. In other words, this was the beginning of a New World Order that has lasted since the end of WWII.
Regardless, right or wrong, the game was over and the resources of these newly created nations would now be available to the highest bidder, not through their confederate rulers. For those European nations who have contributed troops and treasure to the fight in Iraq, this writing is not meant to upset you, as your nations remembrance is appreciated, and your history is important to your nation’s future, as it should be and to a better united EC. It is, however, by the hand of this writer meant for our fair weather friends - France and Germany! Your weak leaders of today have the same mindset that led Europe down the path to destruction during two World Wars in the last century. Remember? Not an easy task, when your memory is only outpaced by your ignorance -- Think About It!

911 – “THE AWAKENING”
Arafat and Hussein are gone... two scumbags that won't be missed. And the hunt for Osama bin Laden, and to any terrorists who follow his ideology... your time is coming! You’re going to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Paradise (not)! So, who is at fault? We didn't attack you or your culture; in fact, the world's more advanced civilizations have been putting up with your Middle East bullshit and pandering to your leaders for a span of time that has finally exceeded any nation’s tolerance. The 'why' (of course) is simple -- OIL! Without oil the world wouldn't need or profit from anything your culture has to offer, in fact, possibly less drugs would be available and fewer addicts infected with the poisons provided from your part of the world. The fault lies with nearly everyone in the Middle East, either actively or complicity, fundamentalist or progressive, either personally, or via statehood. The time for diplomacy is over. The time for trying to resolve the problems of the Middle East in a civilized manner is at an end.
This is truly a JIHAD between two cultures, religions, societies and peoples. This is and must be a total war: a war in which there are no civilians, nor any innocents, no women or children. The Jihadists believe it is a total war, and if we fail to grasp that concept and proceed accordingly (as with the Iraqi invasion), then we will lose this conflict. We can not abide by anachronistic rules of warfare. We must scorch the earth of the Middle East until every last human being is dead. We must decimate their cities with our nuclear arsenal, destroy their towns and villages with our missiles, stop their food supply and chemically destroy their water. Those who do not die from our bombs and missiles would be dead within a week or two from starvation and thirst. This is the only way we can win this war, anything less will (and can) only result in failure. To this end... our enemy has already committed itself, therefore, why should we show any mercy to those who seek our total destruction. None of their children, brothers or sisters, wives or mothers should be allowed to survive, least we desire to create a future enemy for our children and their children. This must be considered a forth Crusade! If, Western Europeans had finished the job in the 11th century, possibly this threat would not exist today?
We cannot worry about the stage of 'World Public Opinion.' We can not worry about 'Morality', 'Right' and 'Wong', or 'Good' and 'Bad'... as; these concepts no longer exist, if in fact they ever did. We cannot worry about 'Liberty' and 'Democracy', 'Personal Freedoms', or the 'Rights' of our enemy. They have destroyed our ability to do so, and they shall be held responsible for their actions. They have destroyed something precious about American society - our 'innocence'! I know that may seem strange to some considering all that Americans have been through in the twentieth century, but in reality we were am innocent and naive people - 'dreamers' - we actually believed in good and bad. We believed in dreams and goals. We believed our children could grow up to be anything they wanted to be. We believed that people are inherently good, and that things always turn out for the best, and that poetry could inspire perfection in humanity. After the events of September 11, 2001, how could anyone even write poetry? After nearly five years of playing 'patty-cake' with our enemy, in hopes that somehow we're going to win the 'Hearts and Minds' of those who are, in fact, both, 'HEARTLESS' and 'MINDLESS' to begin with... it's time for more extreme action. Someone once wrote, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act." What they should have said is simply... "EVIL PREVAILS!"
Now we must believe in vengeance and death, pure and simple, unadulterated. We must bath in their blood, seek joy in their sorrow, and take pleasure in their misery. Our enemies have trampled on our American ideals, our flag, and have ignored the warning that America will fight and has always fought to protect its' Liberty. To that extent our enemy must be defeated -- COMPLETELY -- beyond memory!
Framing the problem - "JIHADISM!"
Jihadism is a sickness incubated within the Arab-Islamic culture, that's created a systemic toxic combination of 'Repression', 'Corruption', 'Intolerance', 'Fanaticism', being fed by tyrannical regimes eager to deflect popular anger from themselves onto the convenient American infidels. And until the Islamic political culture changes fundamentally - Jihadism will continue to thrive!
-END-
Guess the above pretty much declares my feelings on the issue – Scary, huh!. Of course, this was my feelings following 911, which have been somewhat placed in check since. And “YES”… I do believe in non-violence, provided my adversaries do not trespass on me or my country and/or channel their violence toward me, or my country! If, they do they’ll meet my wrath, and that of my country... how does it taste now Jihad'ies?? Do unto others before they do unto you. Since 911 our political and military posture is "preemptive" and no longer "reactive!" My true feelings are now in check in hopes that the Iraq war draws to a close and that America can bring home (in honor) our military not in defeat, nor as victors… but, as the heroes they are. And possibly the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Middle East is at the beginning of a long road toward something more than what existed prior to 911. But don’t hold your breath.

Well thank you for your address. And may I ask you a question....in respect to the assertions you believe? How is it you know so much about the real situtation in the Middle East? Have you been there? And I would like to know....how do you decifer a lie from your perceived truths? You believe what President Bush tells you? And so do you ever think that Americans would ever committ crimes against Americans and blame it on foreigners? Do you think that could ever happen, or did happen?
Is it possible that some Americans have real problems with other cultures in the world, but other Americans do not? And if certain Americans wish to act out in aggression against those foreign countries and other Americans wish not too...how do you decide which one to support?
Is it possible some Americans would attack America from within? Wouldn't that be terrorism? Of course you are an American as I am, and you are fully aware of Violence in America. It happens everday in America doesn't it. There is robbery, and murder, and rape, and unsolved crimes that litter the vaults of American Society. Isn't that true? Kids get gunned downed in School, or drive by shootings happen all the time am I right? There are gangs from Los Angeles to the depths of Chicago and New York.....And we have an influx of illegal immigrants scurrying across the borders to invade America. They bring guns and drugs into our streets from New Mexico to Texas, Arizonia, up into Utah, and Colorado, and the Midwest. Crimes happen all time with gangs fighting over drug selling zones, and who benefits from those sales. Do you think they are terrorists?
And then we have all these prisons in America. How many prisoners do you think America holds incarcerated? Sure is a lot of people.....wouldn't you agree? I bet you wouldn't want those bad people roaming the streets right? Would you call them terrorists? How about people who are homeless, and have no jobs? Aren't they potential terrorists, because they can't find a job or place to stay and live? And since they are in such bad shape people are afraid to help them.....and they become the unknown people who live under bridges, and on metal grates throughout American society.....and do you think they would strike out and committ crimes in America? Wouldn't they be considered terrorists? Have you any idea with these issues I have mentioned here that they become worse when people use alcohol, and drugs, and carry guns. Isn't this a dangerous mix.....without a job or home? Wouldn't these people be considered terrorists too?
What I am getting at is that there are a lot of bad things in America that could make people want to destroy America. We also have a lot of white collar criminals as well, who bilk and steal millions from honest Americans. Would you call Ken Lay of Enron a terrorist? How about Jack Abramoff? And there are alot of crimes committed from Real Estate Scams, to Banking and Trading Scams in America. In fact there are certainly people who have a lot of money they loss in the stock market and have a big vendetta because they beleive they have been $ucked by America.
And do you think these people would get angry enough to committ a terrorist attack on America? Wouldn't they be a potential terrorist? Or how about people who run for office in the US Congress and US Senate and they lose the race and are not elected? Don't you think after all the money they spent and lost, they are a bit angry and upset? Wouldn't that be grounds for wanting to get even or get back at those who prevented them from getting that office or job in running for Congress or the Senate? Wouldn't they be potential terrorists?
Now after all these examples I have mentioned....isn't it a real possibility that a terrorist attack is very likely to come from within America? And if those people who are down and out come to meet each other....they could create their own little secret organization and do a terrorist act.....couldn't they? I think it is very possible.....I also think that people who are in governmen also have similar pangs of getting back at America too don't you?
I mean elected Senators and Congress people try to pass legislation and for some reason it is defeated.....and the defeated Congressmen and Senators perceive that as a threat to their people and they ban together to commit a terrorist act. Isn't that possible? I really think so.....and I also think they could have done 911. In fact after much study I have come to the conclusion that this is what happened in America.....while people lose their heads and start blaming foreigners.
Isn't that a real possibility? I am being honest with you . I am pulling no crap on you. You question my identity all the time....and I will tell you this...would it make a difference what picture I posted? I could put up any photograph and you wouldn't know the difference. I can also say I from anywhere in the world and you wouldn't know the difference. So it matters not if you believe me or not who I am. But you do know I am saying stuff that is true and possible.
The point is there is quite a vulnerabilty to the US in identifying who are terrorist from outside and most especially from within America. In fact there is more of a possibility of an attack happening from within the US, than coming from outside. And I want you to be aware of that fact...and reconsider that Jihad is more than likely the response; from America attacking a country who did not do the act of terror.
Think of all the people who are arrested and accused of murder who did not do the crime...and while they are innocent they are executed for not doing the crime....Even some politican who wants to coverup the facts, supports the execution of someone to cover the tracks of the crime they committed. Isn't that a real possibility and terrorist act?
What I want to leave with you is that blaming foreigners for going to war is more than unlikely.. ... Why would Iraq want to attack America? They had all the oil they would ever need? Why would binLadin attack America? They had all the money and Oil they ever needed. But America is limited in it's energy supply. People in the government want to drill oil, but other people do not want them to drill...so this causes anger, and potential for a terrorist attack. Would you agree that is a motive? You see....propaganda is a matter of deciding who had the motive, vs. who really did not have the motive.
I think you understand......and so what do we do? I think we need to respect human life and help those who are in need. and foremost help them without using guns and violence. That is our only good choice.
Have a good day .

Actually the US, GB, France, Poland, Russia, Italy, the Nether Lands did make Territorial gains with WWII, Islands, Land masses belonging to Germany, Japan, China, and other where taken and never given back even though International treaties and Agreements asked for the Return of those after peace and reunification was achieved. Never happened though.

Thanks for your comment and checkmarker there Paschen. And I really agree with you about the land taking stuff that occured. If we were really honest we would return countries to their own depot and origin. When war ensues there is normally a winner. We think the winners are right and the losers are wrong. In fact it is seen many times to not be the case. Hitler had a real reason to rise up..because of the poor condition of Germany. Just think if the Marshall Plan was given after WWI, Hitler probably would never been a political issue. Instead the losers are called wrong, and they take them apart and drive them into obscure poverty. When in fact we should never have gone to war in the first place.....but solve the problem in a peaceful means. WWII was about getting German Territory returned. The Persian Gulf War was also about Saddam getting Kuwait returned to Iraq, which was taken from Iraq during the Ottoman days. We have people who go to Great Universities and study history but no one manages to be able to solve the many issues of land acquistion and reunification efforts. This is where the son needs to repair the road of sin the fathers mistakenly took...so the root of our existence is honored and respected.
