‘Counter’ Terrorism? Or Just a Continuation of It?

May 14th, 2006 by Andy in Torture, 'War on Terror' & Human Rights

In Reuters there is an article on the United States initiating Counterrorism under the auspices of Homeland Security. When I read that article the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. Now, I’m not so stupid that I don’t believe the U.S. is not already engaged in counterrorism, but initiating a Homeland Security Department of Counterterrorism utilizing the NSA, CIA, FBI and others, complete with funding and guidelines is laying the groundwork for the U.S. as a Terrorist State. This would put the seal of government approval on the tortures and overthrows and horrors that any crackpot president or congress can think of to slam any state it “suspects” of anything. This harkens back to the plots to overthrow Castro, the actual carrying out of many “sick-minded” things we’ve witnessed, up to and including the actual assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcolm X and countless others around the world. The question is: Is this the kind of country we want???

See definition of ‘Counterterrorism’ below. Doesn’t it sound like a child’s game. If you hit me, I’ll hit you. If you mess with my pick-up sticks, I’ll scatter yours. But it isn’t a child’s game with this “big-people toys” in our world.

I’d say let your house or senate members know, but that is practically useless in today’s world. We no longer have a worthwhile government. Bush and His Republicans have almost completely killed it! And they are not finished yet.

So, I guess the next best thing is to develop a healthy paranoia about what is happening all around us today. Someone far wiser than I once said: there’s a grain of truth in every paranoia. maddi

    What you said about the goal of terrorism is what most people (especially
    the Bush administration) don't get. Everytime we react to terrorism
    in a way that curtails our freedom, we've scored one for the
    terrorists. Terrorists will achieve the ultimate victory not when
    they've killed all of us, but when they've achieved the transformation
    of our society from a free one to a police state.
