but if there are so many that think the same then why do these attacks not happen regularly?
my theory is because the war on terror is a fabrication to divide us even further.

Face reality. We're in something like 1984 and a Brave New World mixed together. We're programmed by the idiot box. We're told what to think. Peace is war. Now I hear # about thought crimes. You can't make this # up. The world is sick. I think after this progression it will become Idiocracy.
This is the thing they taught us in school back in the day. 1984 was required reading. How did it all manifest so fast?

It's about three things:
1. Force projection
2. Strategy
3. Finances
There is basically no point to them attacking us on our soil. The first issue is force projection. It is much easier to defend than to attack and they are badly outmatched militarily. Essentially they have no ability to take and hold territory in the UK or for that matter the US. The most they can do is hold territory in areas sympathetic to them that don't have standing armies to defend it.
Next comes strategy, they're fighting to repel invaders, while they would take it if they could conquer us that's not a realistic goal of their war. Total victory for them would be to have a territory free of Jews and Western influence.
Last comes finances. They can't fight us in a straight up battle so they've instead turned to a financial battle. By threatening tactics like lone suicide bombers the west has to go to some pretty extreme measures to defend. These measures harm the citizens and are extremely expensive. For every $50 they spend on a suicide vest we have to spend $5 million ensuring that it's used in their territory. They don't even need to attempt to bring it over, by waging financial war they can eventually win.
That is why you don't see more attacks. They have no incentive to actually carry them out, all they need to do is threaten it and be willing to carry out that threat if we leave a weak point. We destroy ourselves from there.

What I wouldn't give to be able to sit down and have a talk with Orwell and Huxley about the future. Imagine the conversation when I say they were both right.

Read 1984.
The state must have an enemy. For that enemy to be effective, it must be difficult to identify, be anywhere at anytime, provide a constant state of threat and fear, and exist outside and within the public.
The need for this enemy, the 'other', is to providde a focus or aggression away from the rule of government, and to provide the government, whose only true function is to provide for the safety and wellbeing of the people, a reason to become more important than the people themselves. Through the creation and inflation of foriegn enemies, the state may make themselves 'too big to fail', and therefore the citizens serve the state instead of the opposite.
Safety is an illusion. We all die, all of us, everywhere and at any time from any of a billion possible sources. The idea that the state provides security is patently false, and is a tool of social control.

good op
every "terror attack" has left shady evidence and left even more questions. when an "attack" does happen, the guvnit either says it was a well organized and planned by the latest fashionable terror group, showing no or questionable evidence or just a "lone wolf".
why wouldnt terrorist groups use tactics that are so sucsessful in others countries, in thr west?
maybe thats why western govt like to throw their militaries all over the world...gives the "real" terrorist something to shoot at and keep them off western soil
ive been saying this for awhile...
www.abovetopsecret.com...
from 2004, concerning the u.s.
now that I think about it, the terrorist are winning without even stepping foot on shore...course the western guvnit is helping them win

Exactly pal, exactly.
But don't worry...
The Islamophobes will be along shortly to tell you it's only days away...
That Sharia Law is gonna come into effect before you know it...
& that grooming gangs only come from the Asian community...
Then ATS will be back to its normal self.

Its the basics of physics.
For every action there is a re-action. History can show you.
Unless you buy into the religious bu11
im not religious at all, im just viewing it from their persepctive, if they hate us so much that they are willing to do suicide bombings then why has it not happened regularly since they started telling us how muslims are plotting this and that.
maybe there is a small portion of muslims who hate the west so much but why does nothing ever happen.
im more likely to die at the hands of police than a muslim.

a reply to: muckleduck I wish you would stop posting. Your lack of knowledge about the realities of the damage the building suffered, and it is getting tiring to keep trying to educate one of my Scottish cousins. (and thankful that my family left that area of the world long ago)
