A good Analysis but missing a crucial Point

Ralph Peters wrote a good piece under the title: “Terrorism as therapy” and the subtitle: “The takeaway from Munich,” published on July 24, 2016 in the New York Post.

It is a serious analysis of what motivates youngsters of all races, religions and political persuasions to commit terror knowing that they will die in the process because someone will kill them or because they will take their own life. Peters identifies three categories of terrorists, and discusses each separately.

Looking at the Munich occurrence, he put it in a category that no one talked about before in North America. That is, no one talked about it publicly until now for a reason – though the whisper and the hush talk were all around us. It is that the analysis points an accusatory finger at the media. And so, whereas the media made it a point not to discuss its own shortcomings, Ralph Peters mustered the courage to describe the Munich shooter as follows:

“He seems to have been the sort who, in the past, might have committed suicide in a corner. But violent headlines about mass killings obsessed him. Today's loners want company when they go … The pervasiveness of terror, magnified by the media, provided the shooter with an example of how to go out in a blaze of glory and the sense that 'everybody's doing it'”.

This is good work, but is it missing something? Yes it is. There should have been a parallel discussion as to why the various media outlets do what they do. Normally, a brief mention of the adage: “if it bleeds, it leads,” would have explained it all, but not this time. So the question is this: Was Peters aware of something he did not wish to stir up at this time? Well, he seems to know there is something in that he writes: “There was no indication that Islam was a factor.” But why did he stop here?

The reality is that the media, especially the cable networks, have ceased to operate as news outlets, having turned themselves into propaganda mouthpieces for one dogma or another. The exception is when the dogma is bipartisan – such as the Judeo-Israeli causes, for example – in which case all outlets bark from the same song sheet. And one of those sheets has come with an exotic title: Allahu akbar.

What happened during the Munich occurrence is that the shooter had a lengthy conversation with other people at which time he made it clear he was born in Munich, he considered himself a German and he hated the Turks because they are foreigners whose presence defiles his perfect country. This incident was broadcast throughout the world, and was known to CNN and to Fox News.

And yet, those two networks deliberately committed the hate crime of lying to their audiences, saying that the shooter yelled Allahu akbar before he started shooting. That was totally false. Wolf Blitzer of CNN knew it; Bret Baier of Fox News knew it, and yet the two purveyors of hate propaganda committed what amounts to perjury with the obvious intent to incite and promote terrorism.

This reality clearly shows that to vanquish the modern phenomenon of terrorism, it is not enough to seek remedies for the mental deficiency of youngsters. It is more important to shut down the activities of the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine whose task is to brainwash new hires to the publishing industry, and transform them into mouthpieces that will promote the causes of Israel, always Israel and no one but Israel.

For the machine to work efficiently, those in charge of the propaganda have discovered that the game is a zero-sum game, which means that to score for Israel, someone has to pay a price. As it happens, the price often comes at the expense of the Arabs and the Muslims, and also at the expense of America. That's because the propaganda works well when it motivates the mentally deficient to go out and commit acts of terror.

The obvious lesson that comes out from all the above, is that if you put an end to the activities of the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine, you'll find that the problem of the young – mentally deficient or otherwise – will be mitigated, and will tend to solve itself in the long run.

What is needed, therefore, is for people to rid themselves of the fear of telling the likes of Blitzer and Baier they are incubators of terror and copycat terrorists.
