Mapping The Global War On Terror
Thanks in no small part to ISIS’ uncanny (not to mention highly suspicious) film editing capabilities, the global war on terror is back in the limelight this year as the black flag-waving, marauding militants have served notice that not only did the death of Osama Bin Laden not spell the beginning of the end for the jihadist cause, but in fact, the world has entered a new era in which the advent of the “lone wolf” attack effectively means Islamic State-inspired terror can strike anywhere, anytime.
Or at least that’s the narrative, and if the events that have transpired in Turkey and Syria over the last several weeks prove anything, it’s that the terror narrative is just as effective today as it was 13 years ago when it comes to justifying the aggressive pursuit of narrow political and/or geopolitical agendas that might otherwise prove to be decisively unpopular.
And so, as the US gets set to justify another invasion of a sovereign country by claiming that the war on terror demands it, we bring you the following map from BofAML which purports to show every terrorist attack worldwide perpetrated since 2000.
Some "highlights" from 2013 include:
- 9,814 total attacks
- Nearly 18,000 people killed
- Attacks highly concentrated

That one blip is near me!!! Please tell me what to do so I feel safe!!!!!!
Better Headliner:
THE GLOBAL WAR OF ERROR!!!
Who needs a map? The hint is in the title: Global.
The real question the author should have asked...
What percentage of all terrorist attacks were perpetrated by muslims/islam... aka the Religion of Peace.
Allahu Akbar!
Hmmm, many large-scale terrorist attacks originating from Washington, DC seem to be missing...
Many? I would contend that the entire farse know as the "war on terror" is a figment of the collective imaginations of the folks at Langley, just to justify their phony-baloney jobs...
"... we bring you the following map from BofAML which purports to show every terrorist attack worldwide perpetrated since 2000."
Since when did banksters start mapping "terrorist" attacks?
Never saw ISIS or Al Qaeda release a map yet showing the locations of the billions of people who have been victimized by BoAML, JPM, Goldman, DB or Citi labelled "The Global War On People".
I imagine the map would be so dark with spots it would look like a black and white map of the world... excluding the antarctic of course...
"THE GLOBAL WAR OF ERROR!!!"
Nice one India.
There has been no error. This perpetual war footing is deliberate, and moving forward as scheduled. Without the MSM, this global slaughter of innocents would be rcognized for what it is; naked, ruthless imperialism.
write your congresperson in support of the pending legislation to spend $500 billion over the next 10 years to catch the 30,000 ISIS radicals. (CIA upper estimate) This money is not part of the existing 600 Billion dollar defense budget. It is just for ISIS but it will help the regular military people do front line infantry stuff against Putin and North Korea.
Also, you could demand that your Congress-critter send moar military equipment and training to your local police force; demand more intrusive surveillance of your communications, financial transactions and medical records; and eliminate corporate and capital gains taxes.
good points sir! during the coverage of the theater shooting today I only saw 4 different up armored vehicles. i don't care about the internet stuff because I am not smart enough for anyone to care what I think. But you are right about the corporations. they are people too and should not treated so badly by the taxcode. its not fair. downright mean.
Also please demand that TPP and all other trade deals be passed immediately in order to bring back manufacturing jobs to USSA. Oh, and demand that all guns and ammo and non-GMO food be banned ASAP - for the CHILDREN.
Hmmm.. What am I missing.... I know, please ask Congress to pass a law that only illegal aliens can vote in elections and that only members of the Bush, Clinton, Rockefeller, Koch, Warburg or Rothschild family can be President. Oh and that the Secretrary of Treasury and FED Chairman must always be a long time employee of Goldman Sachs.
Am I missing anything?
Everytime I call my congress person they say "yes, yes, yah, yah, yes, yah, yes, thanks".
And nothing ever changes.
We need moar congressional vegetables!
We have local evidence that John Forbes Kerry (then a Senator, and oh, btw he served in Vietnam) would actually respond to these types of inquiries. Turns out that his office had form letter responses for both/all popular sides of any certain issue. Several locals who had his number, made inquiries favouring one or the other side of an issue and received two or three different expressions of support for opposite sides of the specific issue.

yet you are still 8X more likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist
I think 8x is exponentially low.
you're right, i was being a little "conservative" (not in a jenner sort of way)

How many people died in car collisions and from obesity-related illness over the same time period? Make that map. We need some perspective.
and let's add in colour and religion to the analysis. After Louie's recent speech, one might wonder, retro- and pro-spectively

export the terror, dissipate it
I'd like to see the map of fatalities by cop, worldwide, over the same time-frame.
And I wouldn't mind a definition of "Terrorism," while we're at it. In US mainstream usage, "Terrorism" means "Anything opposed by the current US Administration," particularly when opponents are Muslim.
You mean suicides by cop, right.
"Fatalities" would include suicide, if I understand the concept correctly.
and fatalities would further confuse the numbers, since "suicide by cop" is a different category from "caught in the act with a weapon posing deadly danger to an uninvolved individual" or "trying to assasinate an uninvolved individual" or "my wife is really pissed off at me and is waving a knife (i.e. Irving Fryar), or ...

"wouldn't mind a definition of "Terrorism,"
Try the long definition.
A cop pulls you over and shoots you for getting out of the car to slow.
I've linked a story with a map of the U.S. showing how many cops were killed by another person -- and how many people were killed by cops, over a 16 month period. The ratio is about 1 : 15 (102 : "almost" 1500)

That big red circle over the East coast indicates Washington, District of Criminals (ZOG) and Jew York. Which is where most of the world's terrorism, financial or otherwise, emanates.
South America? Really? We're going to count Columbia. How bout 240,000 murders in the US since the beginning of this century.
Yet another graphic/statistic fail.
How about one takes out from the statistics the "outliers", that is the Democrat controlled cities with the most stringent weapons bans viz: Chicago, Norleans, Detroit and DC?
Sorry about that, I did say "controlled" when evidently uncontrolled, or perhaps that is also part of Louie's plan? Others' plans?
So, a reddie on ya.
Bring it.

Nakki :South America? Really? We're going to count Columbia.
ColUmbia?
Colombia country not Columbia university. Oops +1
What war on terror? Every time the US Government is waging a war, a certain group is getting rich. That's all. War on drugs, poverty, illiteracy, terror, etc. All scams!
Its always about the Benjamin's
how many people die from fatassery every year?
Priorities aren't right.
Move to Alaska.. obviously the Muslims don't like cold weather and high prices.
Ummm... Sweden? Norway? Seems to me they have aclimatized.
Social benefits keep them warm.
I'm sure they make furkas!
O6K, u da man!
I'm currently in Alaska, trying to talk the wife into moving here with me
If they told the truth, they would have to call it the Global War of Conquest, but that's offensive sounding, can't have that, Imperialism and murder for bootee, so better to call it global war on terror, make it a defensive war, blame it on the victims, get the sheeple to think they need that Global War for protection.
PSYOPS foolery.
What Western Government opposes? None, they are all aiding and abetting. Total moral corruption.
Are they counting drone strikes on weddings and such?
Ahhhh, yet, the big red blob over NYC. The litmus test. Pass it or fail.
If you take out the 2977 people killed on 9-11 you have less than 15,000 people killed in 9,813 attacks. It would also appear that they are throwing in Afghanistan. I'm not making light of the service people that died in Afghanistan thats on "our" leaders. That's the problem with these stats when you break them down they don't seem very reliable. Just dots on a map, nothing more. Some very bad propaganda indeed.
BofA gets this chart from Institute for economics and peace.
2 trillion dollars and probably going to 6 trillion after costs of taking care of the wounded service men and women and it really makes you sick. To think these scumbags talk about a 50-100 year war and what it really about is money.
When you begin to count the dead people, it’s best to know the terms and the weapons used. When you are talking about a superpower air force, accompanied by the greatest intelligence capabilities of any armed force in history and operating a nucleus of a 1000 bases around the world, then you’re talking terrorism.
It is the US that has morphed into the Empire of Terror.
“The United States most likely has been responsible since WWII for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world.” That’s the conclusion of a 2007 study by James A. Lucas of CounterCurrents.org that details the 37 victim nations and counts the victims.**
And to evaluate what’s happening, it’s important to remember that the battle fields are not U.S. territories. The victims of the American Empire largely perished in their own cities, villages and farms. In general, the countries where these victims lived made the mistake of being small, of having no way to fight a superpower except an occasionally televised beheading or an internet threat or most common of all, firing back when the planes and the soldiers from the American empire attacked.
The victorious armies in a war write its history and identify the combatants. The U.S. doesn’t even categorize itself as employing militants; it only deploys “defensive forces” and is opposed by “terrorists.”
The weapons that the “terrorists” used against the empire in 9/11 were the most effective they have -- themselves, their lives, creating as much damage as they could muster. That event was the empire’s turning into a world war on many nations that neither knew or were associated with the 9/11 perpetrators. But those nations, because of 9/11, had literally millions of their people incinerated, shot down at their wedding feasts, blown up in their houses while they slept, wiped out in entire blocks firebombed by U.S. gunships… And all the while the Americans, with lust in their heart and a media message in their brain, rushed into a war to kill the “terrorists.”
Why did the 9/11 attack produce such a vengeance; how was it possible for a primitive society from the other side of the world to make this attack? And, more than ever now the evidence comes in that the combined Israeli/US Empire participated in the “terror attack” upon itself, to create and orchestrate its “War on Terror.”
**The report concludes with this remark:
Comment: Note that this report was published 7 years ago - many more people have been killed and injured since then. Note also that figures for the Second Iraq War were incomplete at the time of publishing. The death toll has since reached somewhere between 1 and 2 million people killed.

How many sponsored by you know who?
Western intelligence.
terrorism is a political tactic
exploited by the most desperate and
advanced political operatives.
who are they really? those with the
most to gain and most too lose, everyone else
is either already screwed or just trying to
figure it all out and survive. the banksters
invented and perfect the false flag and the
political "terror" meme. it is their puppy
dancing their tune. sheesh.....
.
a means of tormenting and destroying populations
with the misfortune of being born on or near
elements or compounds in the earth deemed technologically
essential or essential for further exploitation and
com/con modification. the congo. the cotton fields,
the womb. you name it, the psychopaths want to eat
it all in their solitude; all of it lined up and ready
for consumption they will curse you and attribute guilt
and judgement far from the self of selves.

Please use the correct term
It isn't a war on 'terror' AKA Bushism
but a war with terrorism on the US people!
Or tooorristim if you go to forin cuntries like Greece who dunt obay Troika rules
I is scared, give us more taxes please! And take our guns, the givernment will take good care of us.
Financial weapons of mass destruction kills many more. It is estimated that the 1997 Asia crisis led to the death of 400,000 people due to malnutrition and lack of access to medical care it caused.
The largest, most dangerous terrorist organization in the world by orders of magnitude is the US government. That is not hyperbole.
Terrorism is generally defined as the use of violence to achieve a political end. Everything governments do is, by definition, terrorism. And who is the largest government (terrorist organization) in the world? Hmm...
Simply put-- America's foes are 'Mapping`Blowback?'
It seems around every crook and cranny involving the USSA's encroachment upon its feudal`vassals is a nascent morphing arch-nemisis...[?]
