Truth or Falsehood??

Greetings!

The UK is not a merry place at the moment.

According to fav Anti-Jihadi site Jihad Watch, my second favorite foreign nation (Japan being number one naturally) is ground zero in the War on Terror.

Or is it?

Infowars.com has a different take. They say that the attacks in England have been staged, as a pretext for expanded government power.

Who to believe?

During my time as an MRA, I have learned that in order to see the complete picture, two or more points of view are needed.

For example, we know that a graduating class of jihadi fighters recently came out of Pakistan. It would make sense then, that we are now witnessing terrorist attacks in "Londinstan."

Although it is interesting that these attacks are so unsophisticated. Most professional jihadi strikes usually have much better planning and execution.

So, maybe these are bonified terrorist attacks.

However...

Government does have a long history of staging violent events in order to justify some form of intervention or policy. Alex Jones, in his video Terrorstorm, provides some very interesting historical examples of government backed terrorism.

And both Jihad Watch and Infowars.com agree that the logical course of action is to crack down on Muslims, shut down terror cells, and empower the (British) people in order to help combat the menace.

As the Infowars article states:

If we were really at war with Islamic terrorists then the British government would impose stringent controls on letting Muslims into the country in the first place and would deport others en masse - but instead the opposite has happened, while everybody's rights are violated and abused in the name of security.

So... do I think these UK attacks were staged?

Possibly.




(Prime Minister Gordon Brown)


But I, along with millions around the world, will wait and see how the British government, under the leadership of Gordon Brown, responds. Will they work with the British people, while respecting their rights and freedoms, in order to bring peace and order?

Or will Mr. Brown seek to implement an even stricter police state?

Only time will tell.

Kumo.
