FL, I was a member of a bomb club. Bureaucrats and government crooks in general puff their numbers [remember the body counts in Vietnam] to look good and to get more money for the terrible problem they are dealing with.
We used to explode several bombs a year and killed quite a few. If the Security Intelligence Service had got onto us, they could have got millions added to their budgets. I don't want to declare, here in cyberspace, the weapons-grade material we used as I might want to revive my bomb-making [for self-defence pre-emptive action only of course]. The Carnivores might cut of the supply if they know about it. Also, I don't want foolish people to know how to make the bombs. However, if Osama is reading this, would you please contact me by PM, I am happy to sell you the method for a good fee.
It's funny that some people, like X-TheUnknown, are scared of being caught in the mesh just by using certain words here, although they are just people enjoying their lives. All citizens should use the words terrorist, bomb, gun, semtex and sarin once each time they go through an airport. I suspect sarin would go over most of the security people's heads, so it would be better to stick to words they'd know, like "bomb" or "gun". Or, "I haven't packed these bags myself".
Ask the people in charge if the airport has had success in finding any bombs or head-hacking equipment more scary than a toothpick or nail clippers. After they've been desensitized for a few months, we could go back to a more relaxed state of mind. When checking in, ask about bombs, guns, poisons and stuff. They are hassling you - look at the faces in airports. They are the most unfun places on earth if smiles per capita count for anything. Return the favour to the people who are secretly having such fun.
It's funny seeing all the sheople scared of the security people who also happen to be vicious little authoritarians who are having a LOT of fun with terrorism on the rampage. They LOVE terrorism. It is their ticket to ride! A one way ticket to hell for the rest of us [which is of course circumstantial evidence that we are all terrorists].
In my own life, I find terrorism far less scary and onerous than the daily incursions into my life's enjoyment by authorities who just love annoying people. That's their kick in life.
Now that I think of it, the best way to stop terrorism is to find out why people do it. Why do they hate us? I have considered terrorism [depending on your definition of terrorism] as a means of protecting myself against continuing government inroads on my freedom. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are less tolerant of such bullies than I am, who go further and actually conduct a self-defence operation. Getting Big Brother bullies off our backs would reduce the inclination to fight back. Tim McVeigh wasn't fighting for more government. His farewell quote, "Invictus", wasn't a paean to chips in our brains to ensure we aren't thinking naughty thoughts. With gpsOne [by QUALCOMM] and a chip in everyone to monitor thoughts, the person could be switched off if their mind thinks illegal things. That would end terrorism.
But I figure that it's a democracy and when the sheople finally figure it out, they can support an anti-government party and take over from the Big Brother people who love power over others.
Note that the original terrorist was planning on blowing up parliament. Good old Guy Fawkes. Unfortunately, in a democracy, that doesn't really achieve much - the power of the mob is much greater than the few in parliament. In Saddam's democracy, such a gunpowder plot might actually achieve something useful, especially if he was addressing parliament. Similarly, if Erwin Rommel had succeeded in bombing Hitler [my father must have converted Rommel to the cause - Rommel was fighting against my father and the Eighth Army in North Africa and lost].
Anyway, having openly declared my Bomb Club membership, I'll be interested to see if the stupid Carnivore or the New Zealand SIS [Security Intelligence Service] dopes show up to ask abou |
