The risks of terror : Comments

By Bill Calcutt, published 18/6/2015

Remarkably, terrorism co-opts credulous authorities who need to constantly dramatize the magnitude and imminence of the threat in order to justify exceptional government actions to protect the community.

Zombie ZOG (Zionist Occupational Govt)

CC: Do you think it is correct to speak of the existence, at the political level, of a sort of “Power Point generation”? That is, a set of people in charge whose mental schemes are extremely simplified, linear and in cascade, devoid of a marked ability to lateral thinking, over that of honesty.

Dr Roberts: I can’t answer for every country. In the US the present power consists of the Neoconservatives. Their name is misleading. They are not conservatives. (think the opposite to everything that is espoused today). Their fathers came out of the Trotsky left. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Neocons concluded that History had chosen the capitalists, not the workers, and that America was the “exceptional and indispensable” country whose right was to exercise hegemony over the world. This is akin to Trosky’s theory of world revolution, but in behalf of American capital, not the workers. The pursuit of this policy has defined US foreign policy since the Clinton regime. The lives of millions of people have paid for the supremacy of American control.

CC: Can we therefore say that the current US foreign policy is the product of this generation “in limited thinking”? If so, in your opinion how much are the military leaders influenced?

Dr Roberts: I do not think that the US is any longer capable of producing leaders. Govt is simply something to be used by agendas. Military leaders benefit from mobilizations and war, as promotions are more rapid and officers retire at higher pensions. Once one reaches the rank of major or lieutenant general, private and Pentagon consulting opportunities abound as do military / security corporate directorships in the “defence” industry. The financial rewards make the generals complicit in the propaganda of everpresent “threats”, whether “terrorist”, Muslim, Russian or Chinese.

CC: Some people, here in Italy for example, believe that the current US policy is a consequence of the crisis of what they themselves call “American Empire”. Here the term “empire” is used in an exception other than that which it is generally attached to, but it still indicates a form of authoritarian and freedom-killer govt. What is your opinion about this?

Dr Roberts: Europeans are responsible for the American Empire. Europeans bought into the Cold War, with the vision of the Red Army overrunning Europe and raping all the women as they did in Germany, and assigned their defense and foreign policy to Washington. Europeans have not had an independent foreign policy since WWII. European countries are vassal States of the American Empire and take their orders from Washington. No European “leader is independent of Washington’s CONTROL.

A look at history

CC: I connect to the previous question and would propose an analogy” the current social situation in the United States and, partially, in the Western world can be compared to that experienced by the old Roman Republic in its last times, with the murder of Caesar as a detonator of civil wars and catalyst of the break-up of the Roman Empire? How far we could go with this comparison?

Dr Roberts: The American Republic was destroyed in the so-called Civil War. This war was about empire, not slavery. Lincoln himself declared that he would support slavery if it preserved the empire. As soon as the Union war criminals destroyed the South, they destroyed the Plains Indians, thus opening the West to exploitation by private interest groups.

CC: The recent mid-term elections have turned President Obama into the proverbial “lame duck”. How do you think the last two years of the Obama presidency will run?

Dr Roberts: Lame-duck thinking is past. Obama represents the Establishment just as will his replacement. The Republican attacks on Obama are nothing by the Republicans’ hopes that they will be the next whore for the private interest groups that rule America and that Republicans instead of Democrats will receive the rewards.

False flag attacks happen when governments allow an attack to occur or use covert operations to fool the public into believing an enemy has attacked. False flag attacks have changed the course of history.

World War 1 sinking of the Lusitania
The tragedy was exploited as a pretext for the USA to join WW1. The Germans warned that they would sink the ship, but US newspapers refused to print the warning, or acknowledge the German claim it was transporting munitions. The wreckage of the ship was found in 2008, which held more than 4 million rounds of rifle ammunition.

World War 2 the Gleiwitz Incident
Nazi commandos raided a German radio station in Gleiwitz, Germany. SS operatives dressed in Polish uniforms attacked the radio station The raid set the stage for the invasion of Poland and the start of WW2.

Operation Northwoods
As part of the CIA's covert war against Cuba, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff UNANIMOUSLY proposed state sponsored terrorism inside the USA. The plan included: shooting down hijacked American airplanes, the sinking of US ships, and the shooting of Americans on the streets of Washington DC. Fortunately, President Kennedy rejected the plan.

The Vietnam War and The Gulf of Tonkin Incident
August 1964, President Johnson went on national television and announced that North Vietnam had attacked the USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin. However this was a ruse - it never happened. The incident served as Johnson's pretext for commencing military operations against the North Vietnamese.

Operation Gladio
After WW2, the CIA and M16 collaborated to create a force to defeat any future Communist invasions, however over time it devolved into a covert terror network that involved Gladio operatives conducting acts of terrorism that were blamed on Leftists and Communists. This operation claimed the lives of hundreds of people across Europe.

According to Vincenzo Vinciguerra,a Gladio terrorist serving a life-sentence for murdering policemen, the reason for Gladio was simple. It was designed “to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security."

Hard to believe, huh? Google them.

There are many strange things about the Port Arthur Massacre.

Here is just one strange aspect of the case.

Martin Bryant has an IQ of 66 - in non PC language, he is a moron. Yet in the Broad Arrow Cafe, according to the official version of events, he fired from the hip and killed 20 people - 19 of those were shots to the head, and 12 wounded. All in 90-120 seconds. Astounding.

Unfortunately, that coward Bryant's very low IQ could have allowed him to carry out his disgusting mission that even a highly trained, disciplined soldier could not have performed because s/he could not have overcome his/her overwhelming horror and revulsion.

Even if it was cardboard images, a trained officer/soldier would falter. While being fully aware of the artificiality of the exercise, s/he could confidently be predicted to perform very poorly indeed.

The elephant in the room is the political idealism on both sides of politics and for different reasons, that saw the closure of previously highly successful institutions and sheltered workshops where marginally and moderately intellectually disabled found order, predictability and refuge. Where they might be monitored too. The feds threw the baby out with the bathwater.

Also, there is the political correctness of the hanky wringing 'experts', self-styled 'do gooders' who are actually 'do badders' if they were even to be held responsible for the negative consequences of their lobbying and activism that can result in people like Bryant roaming freely and even possessing a car licence that was crucial to his crime and couldn't have been carried out without it.

What about the media that ensures that horrific crimes are reported in such a way as to give the Bryants the personal publicity they crave? It is easily possible to report without sensationalising and it is unnecessary to contion ue to give Bryant continued columns and TV for him to relish.

None of that excuses Bryant, the cold-blooded killer.
