The War On Terror Has Created 6500% More Terrorism
Submitted by Kit O'Connell via TheAntiMedia.org,
An analysis of terror attacks since 2002 suggests U.S. efforts to combat terrorism - i.e., the "War on Terror" - have led to a dramatic increase in death and suffering from terrorism.
Published this year on Sept. 11, Paul Gottinger, a staff reporter for Reader Supported News, analyzed incidents of terrorism from George Bush declaring the war on terror in the aftermath of 9/11 through the present, and found a staggering 6,500 percent increase in terrorism. Gottinger, who used data provided by the State Department in his analysis, found that casualties have increased by 4,500 percent.
Countries occupied by or being bombed the U.S. military seem to fare worst of all:
“[F]rom 2007 to 2011 almost half of all the world’s terror took place in Iraq or Afghanistan – two countries being occupied by the US at the time.
Countries experiencing US military interventions continue to be subjected to high numbers of terror attacks, according to the data. In 2014, 74 percent of all terror-related casualties occurred in Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Syria. Of these five, only Nigeria did not experience either US air strikes or a military occupation in that year.”
Further illustrating the devastating impact of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Gottinger’s report showed that terror attacks in that country jumped from 208 in 2002 to 11,000 by 2005.
In a Dec. 10 appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz suggested the Middle East was more stable before the war on terror began.
“Now, what has been a mistake — and we’ve seen a consistent mistake in foreign policy — is far too often, we’ve seen Democrats and a lot of establishment Republicans in Washington get involved in toppling Middle Eastern governments. And it ends up benefiting the bad guys. It ends up handing them over to radical Islamic terrorists,” Cruz said.
The following week, Ben Swann, a journalist and outspoken critic of U.S. foreign policy, agreed with this assessment, and outlined some of the other ways the war on terror destabilized Iraq:
“Before the 2003 U.S. invasion, do you know how many suicide attacks there were in Iraq? None. In the country’s history there had never been one. But since the 2003 invasion, there have been 1,892.
In Iraq, prior to the start of the Iraq war, there were reportedly just over 1.5 million Christians living in that country. And yet shortly after the war started, more than one million of them fled to Syria. That didn’t work out well. Today fewer than half a million Christians remain and yet are being exterminated by groups like ISIS.”
Millions have died in Iraq and throughout the Middle East as a result of modern U.S. imperialism. Current estimates suggest that at least 1.3 million died in the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
“These figures dwarf the roughly 3,000 people who tragically died in the September 11, 2001 attacks,” Gottinger wrote.

Quoting Baby Bush: Mission Accomplished!
Sounds like the war on poverty and the war on drugs to me! Whenever you want something messed up, just ask the gubmint.
"The War On Terror Has Created 6500% More Terrorism"
Duh.... Do ya think so?!
Everything going exactly acccording to plan. I hear the Pentagon is running out of bombs...
I concur. And, the Criminal Fraud UNITED STATES, CORP. INC. has armed, funded & help train 6,500% of the AL CIA duh terror organizations
Global Islamic terrorist attacks since 1980:

Watch it until its end.
Created more terrorism my ass! Go back to c.610 and start tabulating!
Besides, by this retarded logic the bigger war - The War on Liberty, should have "created" 1,000,000,000,000% more Freedom Fighters!!!
Think about it!
That's what this war is all about. Create terrorism everywhere so thugs can steal the economy and scared population don't question.
My favorite motivational speaker is Earl Nightengale. His "secret" to the universe is that "you are what you think about".
When the neocons think about terrorism all of the time, there will be more of it.
Whenever there is a War on something, the end result will always be more of it.
War on Drugs, results in more drugs. War on Poverty ended up making the middle class a minority. The left's War on Guns causes guns to fly off the shelves and record breaking sales. Affordable Health Care Act caused health insurance to become unaffordable. This inversion is built into this universe because we know what runs this world.
War of Terror - 9/11 was the excuse to drag out the conveniently pre-written 750+ page US PATRIOT Act (Orwell would be proud of that name).
Add a few more to the terrorist tabulation.
Driver Shouting 'Allahu Akbar!' Runs Down 11 French Pedestrians
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/driving-shouting-allahu-akbar-runs-down-11-french-pedestrians-n272866
A driver screaming "Allahu Akbar!" (Arabic for "God is great") appeared to deliberately mow down about a dozen pedestrians in the French city of Dijon before being arrested on Sunday, officials said.
The driver, who was in his forties, hit groups of pedestrians in five parts of the eastern city before being arrested, a spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior said on French television. Eleven people in all were injured, two of them seriously, officials said.
According to testimonies on the scene, the driver also invoked "the children of Palestine"' to explain his actions, the ministry's spokesman said.
Not really terrorism though. Likely due to Global Warming.
Who's the terrorist?
http://youtu.be/mJtrBg8TQaM
so are you saying the amount of terrorist attacks befoe 2002 was OK with you? and that radical islam only started in 2002? and that radical muslims didn't hate us pior to 2002?
Obama has racked up some impressive numbers.
Well, that was the Pure Evil Psychopaths at PNAC's intent. The 100 year phony war on terror.!
Arrest, Tri, Convict & Execute.
Whaaaat????? A U.S. Government program(s) not working and aggravating the problem????? What a shocker!!!!
Lockheaed and Raytheon thank you for your support.
For defence contractor queens of welfare, war of terror is success unimaginable.
No, make that 1948
The FIRST instance of Terrorism:
Former right-wing Israel prime minister Menachem Begin was once a leader in a terrorist group (the Irgun) that fought against the British in Palestine to create the Jewish state of Israel. Below he explains why -- to his dual ethical standard -- murders by Jewish groups cannot be termed "terrorism," but only the necessary acts of Jewish "freedom" fighters. His observations of course have profoundly ironic poignancy when applied to the current Israeli/Palestinian conflict -- especially the suicide bombings by groups like Hamas. Begin's one-sided blindness goes far in explaining the vicious loop of the current Israeli-Palestinian violence:
"Our enemies called us terrorists. People who were neither friends nor enemies, like the correspondents of the New York Herald-Tribune, also used this Latin name, either under the influence of British propaganda or out of habit ...
The British Press and the British troops continued to call us by the name ["terrorist"] which, in their Generals' opinion, suggested bravery on our part and fear on theirs. They called us 'terrorists' to the end. No doubt there was a psychological explanation for this. And yet, we were not terrorists ... It all depends on who uses the term ...
The historical and linguistic origins of the political term 'terror' prove that it cannot be applied to a revolutionary war of liberation ... A revolution, or a revolutionary war, does not aim at instilling fear. Its object is to overthrow a regime and to set up a new regime in its place. In a revolutionary war both sides use force. Tyranny is armed. Otherwise it would be liquidated overnight. Fighters for freedom must arm; otherwise they would be crushed overnight. Certainly the use of force also wakens fear. Tyrannous rulers begin to fear for their positions, or their lives, or both. And consequently they try to sow fear among those they rule. But the instilling of fear is not the aim in itself. The sole aim on the one side is the overthrow of armed tyranny; on the other side it is the perpetuation of that tyranny.
The underground fighters of the Irgun arose to overthrow and replace a regime. We used physical force because we were faced by physical force. But physical force was neither our aim nor our creed. We believed in the supremacy of moral forces. It was our enemy who mocked at them. That is why, notwithstanding the enemy's tremendous preponderance in physical strength, he it was who was defeated, not we. That is the law of history ... What has a struggle for the dignity of man, against oppression and subjegation, to do with 'terrorism?' Our purpose, in fact, was precisely the reverse of 'terrorism.' The whole essence of our struggle was the determination to free our people of its chief affliction -- fear." [BEGIN, M., 1977, p. 59-61]
If you think that the first instance of terrorism occurred in 1948, that says a lot about how limited your view of the world is. As just one example: 1300 years before that, Muhammad was bragging about how he terrorized his enemies into subjugation.
If you are going to be brave enough to be the first to post, at least make it something we can all understand!
It's like he's trying to speak to me, I know it....
https://youtu.be/Skwgk9duVaU
That was the whole point and it has been very successful as a policy!
This is just the beginning, a breakout of global civil unrest will occur as we embark on a clash of civilizations and a fight for survival in the new year, as it has just been reported that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is allegedly ‘Hitler’s Daughter’ and the Fourth Reich is about to become a reality......
http://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2015/12/the-fix-is-in-franc...
Yes it is clear to everyone already....clear. Calm down, go drink a sedative and sleep well. Don't need a hundred times today to repeat the same thing.
so, it's had the same effect as the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs...
one thing is for sure, whenever the guvmint declares "War" on something, bet on the other side winning...
Of course. That was its intent, as shown by the fact it has continued 15 years. Even the US government would have figured it out by now. How many studies said drones create terrorists faster than they killed terrorists? Drones still have not stopped killing innocents, in fact we go on burning our our drone pilots and creating new psychopaths among them.

The war must be continued, chaos is the goal, otherwise our Israeli-Neocons will hang. This is endgame for them, they are losing reality and iin nformation flow. Time to discuss an Amnesty Program for Israeli-Neocons that avoids the civil war that will rout them here in the US.

It
Bullshit.
This is like saying bullying gay people creates more gay people.
This shit spreads like fire because of the internet.
Please, when the empire goes around blowing up and toppling governments in other countries blow back is the result.

The fake ‘War on Terrorism’ and the real ‘War on Islam’"The fake ‘War on Terrorism’ and the real ‘War on Islam’"
The fake 'War on Terrorism' and the real 'War on FREEDOM'
There, fixed it for ya.....
So the real war on Islam is real war on freedom?
Fixed it for both of you.
Israeli Veterans’ Criticism of West Bank Occupation Incites FurorBy ISABEL KERSHNERDEC. 23, 2015

JERUSALEM — A few years after Avihai Stollar had completed his obligatory army service — which coincided with the second intifada — he was approached by a member of Breaking the Silence, a leftist organization of combat veterans that says it aims to expose the grim reality of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank.
Mr. Stollar, who served as a platoon sergeant in an infantry unit south of Hebron, said he found himself recounting experiences that he said had seemed “logical” from the perspective of a soldier. As a civilian, he said, “Something opened up. I was in shock.”
Mr. Stollar, 32, is now the research director of Breaking the Silence, and at the center of a furor that is laying bare Israel’s divisions over its core values and the nature of its democracy.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the group from the podium of the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament, last week, accusing it of “slandering” Israeli soldiers before audiences around the world. The defense minister, Moshe Yaalon, described the group’s motives as “malicious” and banned it from activities involving soldiers. Naftali Bennett, the education minister in the government that is dominated by rightist and religious parties, barred it from entering state schools.

Wrong, in that this is a war on God consciousness among other things. And even if one has a different faith these are still a billion+ people who prostrate themselves 5 times a day to give blessing to God, not to sin and/or mammon.

Muslims have been at war for 1,400 years with pretty much everyone.
Sorry a few got bombed in Iraq for a couple years. If you're gona cry cry hard.
1.3 million is a "few"? WTF?
Yeah, okay Mr Humanitarian.
I'm not masquerading as a humanitarian.
But you're talking about .01%.
You know muslim groups over there are committing actual genocide right? In Africa too. Killing husbands, brothers, and sons and raping their wives and daughters and they are doing this to entire groups of people like the Yazidis.
So what do we do? What happened last time we did nothing when this happened last? We looked the other way with Hitler and 60 million people died.
What you cheering now that US takes the place of Hitler?
Or you telling that US need to kill these people or else they will die?
And why for you it is an occasion for joy? Just wondering.
Did not those African terrorsts get created by our WOT? As I recall, Khadaffi's arms went to the crazies throughout central africa, the ones now doing the massacres.
Not planned, no need. Just that things like this happen when enabled and perhaps subtly guided via SA's preachers?
That 1.3 million number is pure B.S.
Saddam Hussein - your muzzie hero - likely did kill that many. Denying food and medical supplies to his population to maintain control. He only shot the really unhapppy ones.
Denying food and medical supplies to Iraq was the explicit policy of the Clinton Administration under Secretary of State Madeline Albright. Here she is justifying the deaths of a half million innocents as a direct result of that policy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM0uvgHKZe8
No it was not the policy to deny food and medical supplies. The funds from oil sales were sequestered by the UN. All that was necessary was for Saddam to ask for the money to be used for those purposes.
change your name to a more accurate Insanity Bear.
Dr. What about the empire toppling buildings in the USSA?
Yep, the empire is guilty of that too. Fear is needed for perpetual war.
When the Mohammadian goes around destroying buildings, bombing innocent meetings, capturing and raping women, and shooting up the populations, blowback is the result. These nutters have resumed their mission of forcible installation of Islam onto the western world. Why are the Muzzies blowing up all of those brown people?
So where is your evidence of ' forcible installation of Islam onto the Western World'?
Islam is a decentralized religion, so doesn't have a foreign policy that I know of.
He's right on that point, if not the larger thrust of his argument. The ongoing forcible installation of Islam into the West by corrupt leaders can be witnessed by observing the massive columns of military-age Muslim males marching across Europe despite overwhelming opposition from actual Europeans. It can also be witnessed by observing the Obama admin's insistence on bringing 100k of them here, even though none of the places he plans to settle them want them to be here.
The foreign policy part is delivered to the followers in every mosque. Islam is a government, not simply a religion.
Really? Things Change.
I used to be a what I consdered a middle of the road tolerant conservative.
Now according to .gov I am a terrorist.
I do admit that now I am now a very bigoted gun clutching... after dumping the koolaid and accepting reality for what it is.
You can ignore Reality
But you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring Reality.
"
So internet bullying you now blame for your gayness? First time that excuse I've heard...
LOL WUT?
Analogies obviously aren't your strong suit.
This shit spreads because of "do unto others" and all that...
Back in the day, I drove to DC twice to protest the upcoming war in Iraq (2.0), knowing full well that increased terrorism and global instability were the only possible result of this madness.
The night that Shrub started it up, was the night I finally gave up the idea of "we the people" and "representative government," as I was forced to face my cognitive dissonance head-on.
I remember going to DC in 1998 to protest for the removal of Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal. I knew then that if a President could lie to our faces so blatantly, get caught, and still remain in office, that would break the dam of shame that held back the worst abuses of government. And now here we are, the lying is completely shameless, nobody cares if they get caught because there are no consequences.
Wrong. Bullying people leads to the bullied persons snapping and bringing a rifle to school or work one day.
In the case of the Middle East, killing scores of innocents creates resentment and fosters terrorism. Innocent people who didn't care about the US become terrorists overnight after a drone or raid kills their wife and kids.
We've killed close to 2 million Iraqis and torn their country apart. How many do you figure want(ed) revenge?
Unpossible.
Dumbest article I've seen on Zero Hedge yet.
Rigidly you undercooked.
Some pretty stupid articles are collected on ZH. I agree though that this one is a challenger for the top position.
you must be new here
When you factor in the terrorist supported by and manufactured by us it's impossible to know exactly what would have been had we just done nothing.
Yeah, the US is allied with some nasty guys in that Syrian war. Google "American Tow Missile Syria" -- then decide for yourself what's going on.
Thats what the war on terror was supposed to do.
This is all by design. Never ending war is good for the military industrial complex and fear keeps the sheeple in line.
Yeah this was all the MIC a term created by Eisenhower.
There was no war prior to WWII. Are you fucking kidding me?
The natural state of man IS WAR. Man has been killing man since they figured out how to use their thumbs.
Spoken like a true MIC goon.
Dr. Engali -
Smacking the ground with your head many times a day must have caused your brain damage.
We are talking about the War on Terror. As in specifically.
Can you stay on point or do you have comprehension issues?
And if the topic was "How to properly rearrange chairs on the Titanic" should we stay on subject?
Makes me feel stupid on Veterans Day when people thank me for my "service."
The War on Terror...one of the biggest oxymorons in history.
That's because it's really the "War Of Terror."
Not so much created as part of the worldwide welfare program for the barbarian class in hopes they would kill us last, and isn't that working out just peachy.....
Morlocs and Eloi.
Yeah, pretty much.......
Mission Accomplished
Dang! Beat me to it. That's what I get for ansering the phone and not refreshing before posting...
Mission Accomplished!
The point the article makes is valid but both the .gov numbers and the definition of terrorism itself is flawed to begin with especially in the context of an occupied country.
Just remember if you drop bombs on people from a jet it is freedom spreading, prosperity sharing, God loving excellence and stuff.
Dropping bombs on ISIL murders from jets is problem elimination.
Interesting that you are so in love with the raping slavers bringing "Muslim progress" to their conquered lands.
I really shouldn't talk because I typo constantly but are you saying that they have been murdered twice? Dropping bombs on murders is just frickin gross. It's almost like screwing a bed stain or something. Not that it hasn't been done but just seems like a waste of time, just like this bullshit war against the boogie man.
Don't be surprised to find out that your country has no future, just like that wet spot, when the wars are over and the broke begins.
As far as your comment about the slaving rapers, I am not afraid of them either. US military rape is off the hook and the vast majority of the victims are men! Now that is scary. They prey on the population as well, there are even military ships given nicknames like "The Raperham Lincoln". Certainly we shouldn't be importing Saudis and other Muslim groups that have been raping and rampaging in Europe and elsewhere. I don't want to import them, nor do I want to create the refugees to begin with. War always contains child abuse and rape.
I hope some crazy does try to rape me someday. I am still trying to figure out why that hasn't happened yet. Many women I know have had an attempt. I am 5 10" blonde and skinny and I am not beautiful but guys like me and I think I am a decent rape catch.
As all the men in my family have boxed, I have dabbled as well. I also have spent half a lifetime in martial arts, I can shoot a nat's ass off and have even taken a tactical knife class and yet nobody has ever tried to rape me... WTH! I am just going to chalk it up to the theory that I am a high risk target and they know it somehow. I hope one of your raping slavers tries at somepoint though, just the investment worthwhile.
Whens the Terrorism Growth ETF coming out? Seems like it will be a natural progression type of thing?
there was a brief delay while they tried to figure out if it belonged in the Value funds or the Growth funds. But you're right ... it's definitely a Growth Fund.
I'm sure they can Double these numbers in 2016, as there is a presidential election after all. And maybe even a financial collapse to cover up. FORWARD !!!
Now who could have possibly seen THAT coming...?
# scripted geopolitics 101
LOL... these people NEVER learn......
I would LOVE to see the stats and percentages of new"drug addicts" since the official start of the "war on drugs" in the 80's.......
How well did that work out for them?
To answer my own question, "they" were able to increase the public union employee (government) ranks (from one union brotha to anotha)and increase "their" stranglehold on the american citizenry......
Go figure!
......MISSION ACCOMPLISHED....... (edit: damn... didnt read the other comments before posting and saw EVERYONE used this line.... wierd)
Germany Breaks With US Over Syrian War, Warns Obama “May Be Insane”
"...top Federation and Bundeswehr (Unified Armed Forces of Germany) military officers earlier today in Damascus, Syria, one of Germany’s top intelligence officials stated that this European nation has now broken with American “polices, aims and goals” in regards to the Levant War Zone and further warned that President Barack Obama “may be insane”.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1966.htm
Do those numbers include the fraudulent terrorist events and deaths staged by the criminals operating inside the governments around the world?
Which by legal definitions are still terrorism and crimes just carried out by agents of corporations doing business fraudulently as countries.
Layers of fraud upon fraud upon fraud. Is there no end to the lies?
Who hates America more - a Muslim listening to Trump, or a Muslim who lost 10 relatives in an Obama drone attack on a wedding party?
muslims hate us anyway PERIOD
I hate jews and Christians more than I hate Muslims.
When you kill someone it does not make the rest of their family your friend.
Wow, who woulda guessed that?
"We are israelis. We are not your problem. The Palestinians are your problem."
"Palestinians" aka Arab Muslims - nothing like getting AmeriKa, Europe, etc., to feel the ongoing pain as terrorist attacks rise almost everywhere else we've sown instability, except on israel. Don't worry AmeriKa & other civilized peoples of the West! Increased surveillance and loss of privacy / civil liberties and many additional Muslims who could care less about your culture and values inserted in your base are all part of the solution, don't pay attention that ISIS / Al Qaeda / Daesh / ISIL always seems to pop up wherever we need to be, even if in your hometown.
these motherfuckers and their bullshit
While everybody's been concentrating about Syria it is alleged that Pro Russian forces are advancing on Mariupol, Ukraine, having taken villages en route.
https://mobile.twitter.com/InstantReporter/status/679695489714008068
The ones advancing on Mariupol are the US-supported Nazis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JGF9PuOPLQ
Those torchlight processions by uniformed 'troops' are just so - well - Nazi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMLdGaK0g8s
Same as it ever was!!!! So very tired of war!!! I want PEACE!!!!!
So, submit to Islam and peace will be yours.
Or Christianity or judaism depending on your coolade preference.
WOT, well, it's quite OBVIOUS what the problem is... we've been acting like a bunch of fucking pussies for the last 30 years. We need to BOMB some more countries...and KILL many more people. Not this stupid 500,000 here and 750,000 there amatuer hour bullshit...
We gotta go at this WOT WHOLESALE...we need to kill hundreds of millions of humans. That should fix things.
carpet bomb the Middle East until it turns into glass?
Bullshit.
Yuo know what has "caused" that increase? Islam.
don't confuse the narrative with facts
and how many terrorist attacks occurred BEFORE 2002? figures don't lie but liars figure
I wish someone would learn to understand Islam. The author doesn't.

Earlier west looted others , now they also loot their own Fed
