The Only Way with Terrorism

22 July 2005

For terrorism to exist as a global threat, there must be some sort of agreement at grass root level, that terrorism is desirable.

The suicide bomber is not a true loner. A skein of hatred must run through an ethnic strata of the world's population, for a popular desire to kill human beings to exist.

Terrorism is not part of any individual's make-up,.

There has to be a group agreement, at some level, which generates a practice so alien to the individual.

We need to know the mechanism by which certain individuals or groups of individuals can be incited to kill us.

We know that it must be a sort of religious fanaticism, because it has a spiritual slant. Admittedly an evil slant, but nevertheless spiritual. This is what makes it so dangerous and appears to be beyond reason and therefore unstoppable.

If we are honest we shall observe, that we have become spiritually very rusty or not spiritual at all.

Mechanistic materialism is now the order of the day and we accept ourselves as being animals, who only live once.

The terrorist agrees that an infidel is only an animal, not a very nice animal, according to his religion. But it is not his religion, it is a corruption, a perversion of his religion.

One of the major sources of trouble between the great religions, is usury. Usury is punishable by death in Islam. Jesus Christ personally overturned the tables of the money-changers in the temple, and yet we modern Christians, bow down and worship at Wall Street and at the City of London, where the credit industry thrives.

We ourselves have no understanding of how credit, not only rules our lives, but corrupts our best intentions.

For example, we all of us without exception desire to give aid to those who are hungry and sick in the Third World. There is no doubt about that. We would if we could, put our money where our mouth is and give money generously.

But we fail to understand that poverty, starvation and sickness are all man-made, and created by us. I myself am unpleasantly radical and say that we choose to remain ignorant of how we create poverty by giving aid.

But I do soften a bit and point out that we find it almost impossible to understand, what we cannot believe.

For example we give Aid as credit. Which means, that we con those who most need money, with the gift of a loan. How come we believe that manoeuvring a person into debt is helping him. By failing to understand that the gift of credit is a betrayal, we betray the Third World, by allowing ourselves to believe that enslaving them with debt is helping them. We want to help them and we prove that, as individuals, when we put our hands in our pockets and give them money. We give them cash, we personally ask nothing in return. We do not lend them money.

Giving them credit instead of money, which we do via the World Bank, is Oh so different! It is genocide.

I personally guarantee when we correct everything that is wrong, which is explained in this briefing, terrorism will be history in a few weeks.

The alternative is, to ask the police and security forces, to stamp out all protests and to correct nothing.
