THERE IS NO TERRORIST THREAT

Many of the big lies of 2003 have been exposed, and discredited.

However, the most fundamental assumption, beneath the entire US war campaign in the middle east, is that there is a terrorist threat in the first place.

Once you drink the kool aid, that there is a substantial terrorist threat to the U.S., you're only left with arguments over tactics, whether a big military occupation in Afghanistan is the wrong way to stop terrorism. We've tried this argument for five years now.

So, I want you all to stand up, and go to the nearest window, and open that window and yell

THERE IS NO TERRORIST THREAT TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES

And if anybody wants to discuss it, start with math literacy. The 911 attacks killed 3000 people and demolished three buildings. That is not a significant cost or threat to the united states, even if it happened quite frequently. We have 300 million people. More than 3 million people die anyway in the U.S. every year. The 911 attack increased our mortality rate by 1/1000th.

And we can easily get another 3000 any time, by granting some visas or having sex. And we have already killed 3500 of our own troops, and over a million people in Iraq. Where is the math?

Meanwhile, all we had to do was lock the cockpit doors, and keep insane people and criminals out of the cockpits. Get it?

Now, go back to that window and yell,

THERE IS A MILITARY THREAT TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES

And that is, a nuclear strike. Nuclear weapons are intrinsically a state enterprise. They require a huge, highly visible industrial effort.

When the boy emperor and his lunatic Generals in the Pentagon attack a lot of other nations, sooner or later, one of those nations or their allies, will detonate a nuclear weapon in a U.S. city.

That is called a military attack, not a terrorist attack. Because it will come from a state, a government, a military.
