Who's Winning The "War On Terror"? People Killed Worldwide By Terrorists Soars 80% In A Year
You might have noticed that at this point, the global “war on terror” is going about as well as the “war on drugs.” That is, governments appear to be losing.
Then again, much like the war on drugs, it’s impossible for the public to know what “losing” actually means.
One might have thought, for instance, that the US was “losing” the war against crack cocaine in the early 80s, but as it turns out, transforming African Americans in Los Angeles into drug addicted zombies was part and parcel of the CIA’s plan to funnel money to the Contras.
Similarly, it might appear to the uninitiated (and by “uninitiated” we mean “general public”) that the West is “losing” the war on terror. But once you begin to understand what’s actually been going on in Syria for the last five years, it turns out that while the bloody civil war may have helped al-Qaeda remain relevant (via al-Nusra) and may have spawned a group of CIA-backed, Nike-wearing, desert barbarians, all that terror had until recently been exceptionally effective at destabilizing the Assad government.
So who knows what “winning” and “losing” actually means in the grand scheme of things, but at the micro level (that is, at the civilian level) victory and defeat are easy to separate. For the clueless masses, “defeat” is when more innocent people are blown apart by a suicide bomber or hit with Kalashnikov fire while eating dinner than they were last year.
On that note, we bring you the following rather shocking statistics from the latest Global Terrorism Index (via the Institute For Economics & Peace) which show that not only did terrorism reach its highest level ever in 2014, it was up 80% from the previous year.

Bullish for the MIC. Bullish for the banksters loaning money to GOV. Everyone else is fucked.
Funny that the USA hasn't been bombing the hell out of Central Africa, yet it seems to be a hotbed of Terrorist activity.
PS: What do Japan, Korea and Russia know that the rest of the world doesn't?...]
'War of Terror' surely?
"Well, it's a start, I guess." ~Satan
How many people has the world's biggest terrorist, the US government, killed?
I wonder if Palestinians are included in the body count of folks killed by terrorists?
Where can I surrender all my liberties and give all authority to the state for my "safety" ?!?!??!
The better question is where can't you?
Much much shorter list.
I has always worked this way.
*White
*Male
*Tea Party
*Pro-2nd Amendment
*Anti-Fed
Come on you know how this works!
Correct. Cept I never killed anyone.
Old Terrorist definition: one who uses heinous means to advance an underdog position (e.g. Menachem Begin)
New Terrorist = one who doesn't bend over for Menachem Begin
Its all about timing..... ramp up terror, currency collapse, WW3.... after we have a NEW WORLD ORDER.

Yup. The NWO won't start until they have 'managed our numbers.' This shit might even be being sprayed on us right now while we are watching events in Europe. Never underestimate these fuckers, they want us DEAD...

Oh, I craddle my Glock...that's why I feel safe. Whew!

We have the best data manipulators on the planet. This will be revised in short order.
Would you clarify if these are "our" moderate" terrorists.....or the reeeeally, reeeallly bad ones?
LOL
Australian 'attacks' in 3 capital cities? Have to start watching MSM again. I missed those...

Who is the moron who wrote this headline?
A protracted war acerbates people. Long enough and you create hatred in all three existing generations and the results, like we are witnessing now, will linger for much longer. Most will not see this settled in their lifetimes.
The timeline needs to go back a few more years to include Leon Klinghoffer's murder in 1985 on the Achille Lauro and the Munich Olympics in 1972.
So about the same number of people die worldwide from 'Terror Attacks' (whatever that means) as do annually in car crashes in America alone. Not very scary......
Actually about a quarter as many as US road fatalities per year.
War on cars? No, MIC can't make any money on that.

"You might have noticed that at this point, the global “war on terror” is going about as well as the “war on drugs.” That is, governments appear to be losing."
Given that governments are the prime sponsors of terrorism, that's not surprising.
Killed by terror statistics include killed by US drones?
Attacking American troops on a battlefield now counts as terrorism, so these stats may be a bit off.
Giving Obomber the death stare also counts.
Charlie Sheen can promote new HIV ribbons (insert color) to subsidize his lawsuits.
Top ten leading causes and numbers of deaths in USA, 2013 data from CDC. Lets get some perspective shall we....? The War on Terror is a propaganda war.....
You left out number of people killed in terror attacks; for comparison sake.
Depending on your definition of terrorist attack (including the Boston Marathon attack), anywere from 0-50 were killed in 2013 by "terrorists" in the U.S. Or put another way; the chances of being killed by a terrorist, as opposed do dying from the above listed causes .0% to .0026%.
Instead of avoiding crowded places, perhaps avoiding a BigMac might be the safer bet.
I'd love to know what defines a terrorist attack these days since it seems like anything negative does from the cunt governments around the world. Me writing this is and being skeptical is probably considered close to terrorism.
I'd consider drone strikes of weddings and Doctors Without Borders buildings to be terrorism but I'm guessing that stuff doesn't qualify. Brilliant logic by the media and powers that be.
"A U.S. Army manual on countering the plague defines terrorism as "the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious, or ideological in nature. This is done through intimidation, coercion, or instilling fear.""

Barry's importing thousands of refugees of questionable source should really boost the tearrists numbers I'm afraid. We see how well "vetting" works in Europe.
The kleptocracy and all of its components, down to the local public school teacher who has no clue about the damage they do, wishes to perpetuate itself, to increase jobs available to their idiot nieces and nephews.
That is ending, soon, because they cannot continue to borrow money much longer.

fucking duh...some of us were telling them back at the inception of the "war on terror" that it would be about as successful as the "war on drugs"...them nouns are motherfuckers to beat.
Ask any LEO or pensioner of a 3-letter agency if the "war on drugs" has contributed to their own material wealth or success. The answer might not surprise you.
Should we be surprised? It's all part of Spectre's master plan.
Clearly we need to spend more money.
BTW, no wars are fought to be won, period. The war machine needs fuel constantly.
Why don't they do a "Terrorism IPO" and issue shares of the Federal Reserve Bank on the NYSE so we can all share in the fun & profit?!
... governments appear to be losing war on terror.
-----
WRONG. With few exceptions, the western governments intentionally and self-consciously created, funded and directed terrorism... to give themselves an excuse to falsely but effectively justify their wholesale worldwide enslavement and abuse of everyone.
With this one scam they've utterly and completely eliminated all "rights". Any appearances that "rights" still exist is false... they do whatever they wish to anyone they wish, and nobody stops them. Just because they haven't arrested everyone who says something they don't like YET, or stolen every weapon YET, doesn't mean they aren't in the process of doing just that (which they are).
Just because something doesn't happen in full literally overnight, doesn't mean it isn't happening!
Humans are so stupid, it boggles the mind.
The so-called "war on terror" is "war on everyone".
So if I'm reading that chart right the year-over-year compares are much better than the stock market. A strong 2015 will make for a rough 2016 but clearly the markets are in their infancy and there's room for expansion. I'm pretty bullish on 2016. I think we'll easily see double, if not triple digit growth.
Now compare that cool looking infographics to # of deaths caused by fking cancer. People eat shit every fucking day, FuckUshima shines like never before and you are scared about this shit? I know its important, but... I am pretty sure some GMO shit or heart attack from stress at work will kill you way earlier than some Alu Akkbar from Syria or Belgium. Namaste... :)
That map is so funny. Seems like every attack in afghanistan is a terror attack
30k last year...
Well, about 15x that number are killed every year in non-terrorism-related homicides.
So, why are you so scared?
...got some sand in your pussy?
Is there any way to repackage "terrorism" and sell it as peaceful resistance?
OH! The libtards have already figured it out. They rebranced it as #blacklives(don't)matter.
Fuck them!
The "War on Terror" was driven by the Banksters to become a self-fulfilling prophesy. That was similar to an earlier phase of the same sorts of social processes, namely the "War on Drugs," as well as similar to numerous other historical episodes which were examples of the basic systems of debt slavery backed by wars based on deceits.
& four more hours about the history of plutocracy:
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/power-principle/
The Power Principle
Part 1: Empire
Part 2: Propaganda ...
During, and after, the Second World War, the plutocrats put in power the European fascists, because those fascists would do what plutocrats wanted. Meanwhile, communism was used as another foil, which methods always actually advanced the overall plutocratic agenda.
In Part 1, the segment that impressed me the most starts at about 1:24 where historian Michael Parenti says that "fascism" was another tool used by the plutocracy.
MURDER SYSTEMS KEEP MONEY SYSTEMS GOING!
THE ABILITIES TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF NOTHING
MAKES THAT PLUTOCRACY THE SUPREME POWER!
The organized lies operate the organized robberies,
which in turn keep those organized lies in business!
Refusals to face those fundamental facts
results in false fundamental dichotomies.
Which then delivers the irrational symbols,
that were rationally used to control others!
For a long time, I have been repeating my discourses regarding the deeper reasons for how and why the "War on Drugs" was similar to the "War on Terror." THE MORE ONE LEARNS, THE WORSE IT GETS, because then one begins to better understand the overall social situation mentioned at the start of the Zero Hedge article above:
Governments are necessarily the biggest forms of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals. It is those best organized gangs of criminals that are "winning," while it APPEARS to be the governments which are "losing."
Anyone who continues to rely upon the dualities of false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals, will fail to comprehend how and why governments are necessarily the biggest forms of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals. Furthermore, unless people start using more unitary mechanisms to better understand warfare in general, then they will continue to misunderstand that the various phases of the development of DEBT SLAVERY BACKED BY WARS BASED ON DECEITS, such as through the "War on Drugs," which prepared the way for and segued into the "War on Terror."
An abstract formulation of human evolution and history has been that natural selection was internalized as intelligence, which was then applied to the most significant threat, which was other groups of people. That drove the history of warfare, as organized crime on larger and larger scales, which was the foundation of governments, that continued to be controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, because the most important thing that human systems of artificial selection had to do was operate their death controls.
Natural selection pressures drove the development of artificial selection systems, which became the most socially successful when based upon the maximum possible deceits and frauds, and therefore, all sociopolitical institutions are now being operated by the best available professional hypocrites, because they all operate within the dualities of false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals, rather than operate through the unitary mechanisms of perceiving human beings and civilizations as general energy systems.
In order to understand either the "War on Drugs" or the "War on Terror" one should more seriously consider the oldest book on The Art of War, which starts by saying that "success in war depends upon deceits," and ends by saying that "spies are the most important soldiers." Thousands of years of social success based upon deceits and treacheries is the basis of the currently existing civilization.
People are controlled by integrated, sophisticated systems of lies backed by violence, which became legalized lies, backed by legalized violence. Moreover, the vast majority of people do not understand that, because they have been conditioned to not want to understand that. Furthermore, those few who do begin to superficially understand what the ruling classes are doing to those they rule over still tend to continue to deliberately ignore that some death control systems must necessarily exist.
The currently existing death control systems control everything else. Money is measurement backed by murder, due to the debt controls being backed by the death controls, inside of the context where all private property is based upon backing up claims with coercions, because no private property exists without some system of public violence. Those are the overall social pyramid systems within which things like the "War on Drugs" or the "War on Terror" were manifesting.
Since the actually existing sociopolitical systems are operated by the best available professional hypocrites, who operate the actual death controls through the maximum possible deceits and treacheries, everything else follows after that fractal pattern. Civilization is necessarily operating according to the principles and methods of organized crime, because its death control systems are necessarily central to everything else.
Human beings and civilization live as entropic pumps of environmental energy flows, which have developed to operate in the most deceitful and treacherous ways that were humanly possible. Therefore, we are living inside of Wonderland Matrix Bizarro Worlds, where everything is publicly presented in the most absurdly backward ways possible. (One of the most abstract manifestations of that were arbitrary minus signs inserted into the entropy equations of thermodynamics and information theory, so that almost everyone thinks about power and information in the most absurdly backward ways possible.)
Other more concrete particular examples were that about 75% of the "War on Drugs" was the "War on Marijuana." Hemp, which is the single best plant on the planet for people, for food, fiber, fun and medicine, was re-branded as "marijuana, which is almost as bad as murder" and publicly presented as being an "addictive narcotic, that drove people criminally insane and killed them." In other words, most of the "War on Drugs" was based upon Huge Lies, backed by Lots of Violence, for decade after decade, which violence could never make those Lies become true, but rather, would drive society as a whole to become more psychotic.
Another, much more important, particular example was that the events on 9/11/2001 were an inside job, false flag attack, which were deliberately designed to become another self-fulfilling prophesy that would get the "War on Terror" going, until it became self-sustaining, like the "War on Drugs" had previously become. Furthermore, 9/11 set up the conditions whereby it would be possible to drive another inside job, namely the financial crises of 2008.
To think more critically about the roles of the ruling classes in making and maintaining those series of historical events, one should start with the basics, that there must necessarily be some death control systems, and that such systems have always existed. The currently established sociopolitical systems are based upon almost nothing but a core of organized crime, surrounded by controlled oppositions groups, all of which stay within the same frame of reference, based upon the dualities of false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals.
To move through deeper levels of analysis reveals how and why governments are necessarily the biggest forms of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals. That was the context in which both the "War on Drugs" as well as the "War on Terror" were developed and perpetuated. Meanwhile, of course, the vast majority of people who are ruled over have been conditioned for generation after generation to not want to understand what the ruling classes have been really doing. Moreover, that includes the degree to which those ruling classes have also being controlling their publicly significant opposition, so that pretty well everyone stays within the same frame of references, based upon the dualities of false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals, and therefore, almost everyone continues to promote bogus "solutions" to political problems which are based upon misunderstanding the actual mechanisms regarding how things work in the most absurdly backward ways.
While it is theoretically possible to better understand human beings and civilizations as manifestations of general energy systems, doing so takes series of intellectual scientific revolutions, and profound paradigm shifts, which then apply to politics in general, and particularly to the combined money/murder systems, which have developed to operate through DEBT SLAVERY BACKED BY WARS BASED ON DECEITS, through POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, some of whose manifestations are the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror."
Governments are necessarily the biggest terrorists, who are controlled by the best organized terrorists. That situation has resulted due to the long history of natural selection becoming internalized through artificial selection systems operated by human intelligence, which were driven to become most socially successful by being the most deceitful and treacherous. Hence, civilization as a whole always operated according to the principles and methods of organized crime, and therefore, ended up becoming as dishonest about itself as it could possibly become, i.e., became a Wonderland Matrix Bizarro World, where everything is publicly presented in as absurdly backward ways as it can possibly be!
Since the established systems are operated through a core of organized crime, surrounded by controlled opposition groups, all of which are run by the best available professional liars and immaculate hypocrites, it now looks politically impossible to imagine any ways to get out of the vicious spirals of POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, which series of frauds had episodes like the "War on Drugs" seguing into the "War on Terror," all of which were merely more and more sophisticated and integrated systems of social slavery, which became primarily the current forms of DEBT SLAVERY, whereby the supreme source of "wealth" of the plutocrats is that they can legally create the public "money" supplies out of nothing as debts for everyone else, because that kind of legalized counterfeiting is the supreme achievement of organized crime.
Since the vast majority of those who are ruled over feel like they do not want to understand that, while the few who somewhat do begin to understand still continue to collapse back to bogus "solutions" based upon impossible ideals (that actually cause the opposite to happen in the real world, because they are actually controlled opposition, who continue to think using the same old-fashioned false fundamental dichotomies and impossible ideals), the overall social pyramid systems get more and more psychotically out of touch from relatively objective real world, due to the vicious spirals of the best professional hypocrites actually controlling civilization.
Since civilization must necessarily be directed by its death control systems, and those were selected to become most socially successful when done through the maximum possible deceits and frauds, the history of successful warfare based upon backing up deceits with destruction morphed to become successful finance based upon enforcing frauds. Within that overall context, both the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror" were variations on the basic themes of "Enforcing Frauds."
Overall, we are still faced now with the same chronic political problems which always existed, because those are inherent in the nature of life. After there is life, then the death controls direct the evolution of that life. Human intelligence became the internalization of natural selection, which was applied to the most important selection pressures that human beings faced, which were other groups of human beings, and therefore, the history of warfare was the history of civilization.
Nearly exponential progress in physical science has not been matched or surpassed by progress in political science, because doing so requires no longer relying upon dualities, but rather using unitary mechanisms. Progress in politics is not possible unless or until enough people understand enough that governments are necessarily the biggest forms of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, because the most important things that must be done are to operate the human artificial selection systems, which do the death controls in general, with the most extreme forms of those being the murder systems.
Basically, almost everyone misunderstands things like the "War on Drugs" and/or the "War on Terror" in the most absurdly backward ways possible. Indeed, "governments appear to be losing," but that APPEARS only if one accepts at face value what the professional hypocrites that control civilization have to say about what they are doing, which is pretty well perfectly backward to what they are really doing, and therefore, about as absurd as it could possibly be.
At the present time, the excessive successfulness of controlling civilization through applications of the methods of organized crime, in ways that the vast majority of people do not understand, because they do not want to understand, has resulted in civilization becoming runaway criminal insanities. The "War on Terror" is many orders of magnitude worse than the "War on Drugs." The tragic trajectory, that civilization has been trapped into vicious spirals of POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, makes it look like civilization has become terminally sick and insane.
It would take series of what currently appear to be scientific and technological miracles, with political science miracles being the most important of those, in order for the currently established kind of criminally insane civilization to survive through its own madness, driving it towards series of psychotic breakdowns, crazy collapses into chaos, and severe social storms blowing through.
The established systems of DEBT SLAVERY BACKED BY WARS BASED ON DECEITS, which have had their phases of the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror," are overall headed towards debt insanities, provoking death insanities. The only better resolutions of the real problems would require better organized crime, operating better death controls. However, since all of the established systems, including their controlled opposition, are operated by the best available professional hypocrites, negotiating any such changes appears to be politically impossible at the present time, as well as for the foreseeable future.
As I said, about 75% of the "War on Drugs" was the "War on Marijuana." At the present time, pot prohibition is going through psychotic breakdowns. The changes are NOT based upon more radical Hemp Truth, but rather based upon compromises with the same old Huge Lies. It is as if the established systems are resolving the debate between whether the planet Earth is flat, or round, by agreeing that the planet is a big cube. The psychotic breakdown of pot prohibition is NOT being based upon the facts, but rather, are changes which attempt, as much as possible, to continue to be based upon the same old Huge Lies.
Similarly, the same pattern is presented by the deterioration in the "War on Terror." It would not be possible to resolve the "War on Terror" in any better ways without enough people facing the historical facts about false flag attacks. Of course, accepting more radical 9/11 Truth, that 9/11 was an inside job, false flag attack, is something that the established systems are NOT doing, and are NOT able and willing to do. Rather, pretty well nobody who is personally successful within the established systems could possibly have had any career within those established systems without having already agreed to either shut up, or repeat the same Huge Lies.
Since civilization is necessarily controlled by fractal patterns of the principles and methods of organized crime, civilization in every facet has become criminally insane, in proportion to the degree to which social success was based upon being able to back up lies with violence. Radical truths make no difference to sociopolitical systems based upon backing up lies with violence. More rational evidence and logical arguments are deliberately ignored, except to the degree that those may enable becoming better at being dishonest and backing that up with violence.
Therefore, civilization is now in a fit of exponentially increasing vicious spiral feedback loops of POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, driving civilization as whole to become more and more psychotic and criminally insane, since backing up lies with violence, or enforcing frauds, never can make those lies become true, nor stop those frauds from being false. Therefore, the currently established social pyramid systems appear to be committed to go through series of psychotic breakdowns, crazy collapses into chaos, while severe social storms blow through, due to all of the accumulated pressures.
The most probable predictions are for the death control systems operated through the maximum possible deceits and treacheries to drive worse and worse death insanities. Since it is politically impossible to have better public debates about how to operate the necessary death control systems, it is most probable that we will continue to observe the actual death controls to be done in the most deceitful and treacherous ways, whereby governments will continue to be the biggest terrorist organizations, controlled by the best organized terrorists, while the vast majority of people will continue to not understand that, because they do not want to understand that.
The essential problems continue to be prodigious progress in physical science, without any matching progress in political science, so that we now have MAD Money As Debt, backed by MAD Mutual Assured Destruction, operating through globalized systems of electronic monkey money frauds, backed by the threat of force from apes with atomic bombs. The overall MADNESS of that situation is too extreme to fully comprehend or imagine. The only thing that we can be sure of is that it is almost automatically getting worse, faster ...
