Terror begets terror

To say 9/11 is God’s punishment because the United States lacks morality is not only an offensive assault on all affected by the war on terror, but it’s unfounded and false. Terror begets terror.

God has long been used to explain loss and suffering – even to explain the need for war. However, the reasons for the many uprisings in corporate-occupied lands throughout the world are not hidden, unless one’s thinking is purposefully restricted. But this isn’t the case.

The Torah was written, in part, to explain oppression and war. After Israelites changed from polytheistic gods to a monotheistic god, they synthesized cultures, thus adding strength and unity to enable survival during occupations, conquests and wars. Jews and eventually Christians, appropriating Jewish texts, would both suffer under empires exploiting people and land. There are explanations.

The eventual threats of groups like Al Qaeda and ISIL were predicted well before the plan to secure oil commenced – plans to destroy both states, Iraq and Syria, while using Israel as a client military state.

And the world’s poor and U.S. taxpayers pay for all of this. This is known.
