TERROR R US

Terrorism is largely state sponsored.  You can read about this in such books as “9/11 Synthetic Terror” by Tarpley, or you can just remember back to your youth when Uncle Sammy lost no opportunity to point out how all the terrorist activity in Europe or the Middle East was financed by the communists.  Yes, that same sad sack mentally addled uncle who then turned around and told you with a straight face that one rich kid financed all the attacks on 9/11 and that we are now saving the world from terrorists because ‘Muricans do stuff like that with no expectation of reward.  We’re not like those pesky Brits who were saving the village by destroying it.  Oh, wait, wrong war.  They were all rude and racist by invoking the burden of the White man.

*

Britain was merely civilizing Little Brown People who were all barbaric and such.  Like those nice Romans did.  Oh, wait, those barbarians were Celts.  Sometimes it’s hard to keep all the lies straight.  But one thing we would NEVER lie about would be why we started a war, right?  I mean, besides the Revolutionary War and War Of Northern Aggression and WWI and WWII and Vietnam and a few others.  But honest, the War On Terror is genuine.  We almost found weapons of mass destruction!  Almost, I tells ya.

*

Look, this stuff isn’t rocket surgery.  Most of the time, rebellion and insurrection usually only happen when people are hungry.  To risk their lives, even dumb ass twenty year olds need a solid reason.  In the military, or it a reasonable large mob, the risk to reward factor is low.  That is mostly rewarded aggression with no risk.  But for Joe Husband/Father to risk his life?  That takes a far more powerful inducement.  It isn’t going to be an increase in freedom.  He can live with soft dictatorship ( we do today in the land of the free, don’t we? ).  As long as his family is provided for.

*

And that includes supporting terrorists who are merely motivated by politics.  If he isn’t sold on a political war being a mere mob action ( high reward, low risk ), he won’t participate.  So you need an outside support group, since there won’t be any aiding or abetting the group from the locals.  And who has unlimited funds to support a terrorist group?  Remember, terrorists are asymmetrical warriors.  They are guerrillas.  Their campaigns take years.  Only nation states have the deep enough pockets to fund terrorists.  They call them proxy wars.

*

War is not cheap.  Nation state wars are fought on average every ten to twenty years ( as opposed to once every one or three for primitive tribes ), not because the rulers are opposed to the benefits war brings but because war is so darn expensive even the leading empire of the day can only afford so much of it.  You do realize that the IraqiStan War is going to be the last major one we can fight, don’t you?  I would call it on par with Britain and World War One.  She couldn’t afford to fight a regular war after that ( just as with the first half of the war for Russia, we pretty much equipped and funded their whole war effort.  The taxpayers bled and paid for world domination to support the bankers and corporations ).

*

Guerrilla war is cheap, because rather than invading, occupying and controlling, all you must do you keep the other side from winning.  You don’t need to win, as long as you merely do that.  But you do need support, even for that far less expensive fighting.  If the local civilians are not doing that, someone else must.  So we see Americans buying heroin made from poppies from Afghanistan which support farmers who support the guerrillas there.  But that isn’t enough and all the money we put into the country is to one purpose.  Keeping the war going.  We bribe our allies and we bribe our enemies and we bribe the provisional government and enough money gets to the fighters and they are funded to fight us.  We are actually supporting the terrorists we are fighting.

*

Cheap Russians!  Why can’t they help out a little like they did funding Black September and the Red Faction and the IRA and all those other nifty group back in the 70’s?  We are supposed to be fighting a limited small counterinsurgency war to pump up our military economy and return drug profits to the banks, and instead we end up having to pay for that fighting PLUS create an enemy.  Double the expense!  Don’t misunderstand, the Afghans are some pretty awesome guerrilla fighters.  Invade their country, they’ll show you.  But we aren’t the Russian invaders using a regular army which requires a country-wide response.

*

We wanted an affordable war, which is all we can afford because after decades of cost plus military industrial complex spending, everything costs fifty times what it should.  But a limited invasion isn’t going to bring out the needed resistance used to justify our spending over there.  So we need to pump up the resistance ourselves.  Probably most of the dumb asses we fight over there are in it for the money rather than fighting for their freedom.  No religious motivation this time.  Half assed fighting gets you a paycheck without endangering yourself unduly. 

*

Who benefits?  Follow the money.  The State funds its enemies when it cannot find one.  I would wager that Clinton got away with selling technology secrets to the Chinese because we were desperate for an enemy after the fall of the Soviets.  Just stripping them of their assets ( mostly Siberian oil, the last high EROI oil even as Saudi Arabia was drawing down theirs ) wasn’t enough to support the Military Industrial Complex.  But Chinese communism never solidified as the threat Soviet communism always was, when it benefited us after 1945.  I think that is why we saw “ChiCom’s Under Every Bed” and “White Separatist Domestic Terrorists Will Kill Us All” back in the 90’s.  We were funding threats so as to continue the profits flowing.

*

Understanding that all claimed communist threats should be taken with a grain of salt, assume the USSR funded the IRA.  Why?  The Basque separatist.  Why? The German and Italian and Japanese ones.  Why?  It benefited Russia.  Britain who was trying to hold northern Ireland was the US aircraft carrier of Europe.  Spain and Italy and others were part of NATO.  Japan is vital to controlling  Asia.  Unrest everywhere tied up military assets and bled the enemy financially, all at a very low cost of operation.  Who benefits from terrorism today?  The US.  With lower costs and almost no threat, terrorism is the perfect enemy.  Yes, we screwed up even that simple plan, but that is just the normal incompetence everyone is showing in leadership today.  Always follow the money.
