"It makes perfect sense."

Au contraire, it makes no sense at all !!

1. America has been in preparation for a concentration/work camp economy for a number of decades. Nuclear attack is not necessary. Executive orders granting dictatorial powers and progressively removing congressional oversight have been signed by nearly every president since FDR (most under JFK, the most recent by Obama). Camps have been built and are now being staffed up. All-pervasive surveilance systems have been put in place (street cameras, body and vehicle scanners and communications snooping) and are tracking every American. Police and military will work together under direction from regional "fusion centres" and a Council of Governors. Congress has NO oversight (and probably little or no knowledge either ... they are too busy spending their bribes).

See the latest expose by former governor, Jesse Ventura, here:

2. Fallout from a nuclear attack and the resulting retaliatory war would make the planet uninhabitable for thousands of years. That is not in the oligarchs' interests! ... so it won't happen. You need to know that muslim extremism was created by, and is simply a tool of, the oligarchs to again divide the planet for continuous contrived wars. War on communism, war on drugs, war on terror, war on carbon dioxide, war on currency manipulation. Next will be war on dissent.............

Think about it: If an unknown terrorist set off a small nuclear bomb in an American city, who should the Pentagon attack and invade? Should America invade Iran because a CIA/Saudi-funded muslim who was born in Libya and trained in Afghanistan was found to have spent 2 years in school in Iran? It's too comical for words!!!!!

So for the last 1400 years the Muslims have been set upon civilization by the oligarchs??? Pray tell how did they manage this? Islam has been at war with the civilization since its inception.

"Islam has been at war with the civilization since its inception"

... and so has Christianity, you fucking moron!! War and destruction are almost the entire message of the Abrahamic religions (in order of their creation: Judaism, Christianity then Islam) from their vengeful and jealous god of the Old Testament!!!

My point is that conventional territorial warfare between uniformed armies was the order of the day for thousands of years -- until Menachem Begin "invented" terrorist asymetrical warfare in 1946 to scare the British out of Israel. Since then, both the CIA and islamic extremists have adopted these tactics to achieve their respective ends (usually with the former funding and training the latter).

Nope you are incorrect about Christianity being at war with everyone from the beginning. Jesus did not slash throats, cut off heads and rape children...Mohammed did.

The propaganda you learned in school does not serve you well.

You need to read some history. It's too complicated to explain to you here.

Some hints to get you started: The British, French and Germans happily fought each other for hundreds of years -- with no islamic confrontations -- during most of the hundreds of years of the Ottoman Empire. During WWI, the British, under the local leadership of 'Lawrence of Arabia', enlisted the Palestinians to help defeat the Ottoman Empire. Islamic extremism didn't commence until the Zionists -- financed by the Rothschilds -- turfed out the Palestinians by 1948 ... which, in turn, was the outcome of the Balfour Declaration given by the British Government to Baron Walter Rothschild in 1917.

In 1946, after bombing the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, to pressure the British to leave Palestine, future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin went on to proudly proclaimed himself as "the father of modern terrorism".

You might also note that the British partitioned India into a Hindu state (India) and an Islamic state (Pakistan) in 1947, again to foment religious tension between neighbouring states in Central Asia. India and Pakistan have been threatening each other ever since.

Dear man,

Read history indeed...perhaps you should try it. Are you seriously trying to argue that Islam, a vile political system started by a thug, did not expand for nearly its entire history by the sword? Really?

both of you make valid points.  however, christianity has expanded by the sword (crusades) and other violent means (inquisition, witch hunts).  of course, this antisocial behavior is counterproductive to free trade, so it has become less prevalent. 

yes, islam has violent undertones in the ancient text (just like christianity), however it was political forces stoking these most violent groups that has helped extremism grow further. 

the policy of divide and conquer is alive and well.  remember, there is an international banking cartel who need only protect itself and divert attention away from its centralized dealings, fractional reserve counterfeiting (which favors themselves at the expense of the existing poor), and the enslavement features of the debt-based monetary system.  

this is the most violent, ruthless scam in the history of the world.  fuedalism is alive and well, and we are livestock/monkeys in the heirarchy of jungle law.  if they can keep us killing each other then its a few less mouths to feed.

Strikingly ignorant...

The Crusades were a reaction to the attacks by Islam. Islam and Christianity have nothing in common in regards to violence. The founder of Islam was a brigand and murderer while the founder of Christianity was not.

Mohamed himself murdered those who refused to accept his divinity.

The inquisitions were a reaction to those Muslims who continued to fight against the Christians after supposedly converting to Christianity to avoid being deported.

i do not disagree with anything you have said, other than to say my words are "strikingly ignorant". 

explain how the violent Salem witchhunts involved Muslims.

explain how the violence in Northern Ireland involves Muslims. 

explain the the murderous violence of your assembled bible: http://www.evilbible.com/

    It always amazes me how many times this God orders the killing of innocent people even after the Ten Commandments said “Thou shall not kill”.  For example, God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21).  God also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there.  He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3).  He orders another attack and the killing of “all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses” (Joshua 6).  In Judges 21, He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married.  When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife!  Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody!  In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church!  In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.

 

    The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9). 

 

    This type of criminal behavior should shock any moral person.  Murder, rape, pillage, plunder, slavery, and child abuse can not be justified by saying that some god says it’s OK.  If more people would actually sit down and read the Bible there would be a lot more atheists like myself.

 

    Jesus also promoted the idea that all men should castrate themselves to go to heaven:  "For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."  (Matthew 19:12 ASV)  I don't know why anyone would follow the teachings of someone who literally tells all men to cut off their privates.

 

    The God of the Bible also was a big fan of ritual human sacrifice and animal sacrifice.

 

    And just in case you are thinking that the evil and immoral laws of the Old Testament are no longer in effect, perhaps you should read where Jesus makes it perfectly clear:   "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid."  (Luke 16:17 NAB)  There are many more quotes on this topic at my "Do Not Ignore the Old Testament" web page.

 

WAKE UP AND SMELL YOUR OWN DOGSHIT!  You are a strikingly ignorant and bigoted fool.
