Does anybody actually know what's going on?

Darn neo thanks for the political history lesson on the political agendas behind the scaremongering of terrorism about to hit our backyards.
We have a very complicated situation in Syria/Iraq.

The Boston bombing was a trial run for what we will be seing in the near future. False flag attacks, with isis being the patsy. It's so transparent, it's almost ridiculous. No wonder why conspiracy theorists are such a threat to the establishment.
I doubt that. Boston Bombing was just that...a bombing. There is really no "terror" behind that for people. The whole thing with beheading, to me, goes back to a fear almost everyone has....being cut. I don't know a single person in my life that hasn't had a cut at some point in their lives.....they know what it feels like and as such can justify a fear. I don't know anyone that has been in a bomb blast and relatively few that have been shot so the fear is not from knowing what it feels like but more what people see in the movies. If you can relate to an actual experience someone has had then it makes the "terror" that much more terrifying. I can understand what it feels like to have a bad cut, and as such I can comprehend the feeling of terror from having my head cut off.
If they are going to induce terror in the US, it will certainly have to come from a very different type of act than a simple bombing or shooting. If they were able to lock down a subway or a major sports event venue and just start beheading people left and right.....now that would create some terror and chaos, especially if it was planned and executed at multiple locations at the same time.
Outside of that scenario, I just don't see these guy being able to do much with terror in the US.....we typically don't stand for it, and I would guarantee that a LOT more here would fight back than have elsewhere. ISIS wouldn't stand a chance.

This whole ISIS thing is a dilemma for many.
Contrasts
We have a Liberal Democrat Administration that traditionally bashes FoxNews.
We have FoxNews that traditionally bashes Liberal Democrats and the Administration.
Focus
We have FoxNews (and others) pressing the ISIS button.
We have the Administration pressing the ISIS button.
We have a very complicated situation in Syria/Iraq.
We have traditional war protesting that seems to be absent all of a sudden.

Just look at Saudi Arabia, one of the worst offenders of human rights and who allow radical islam to basically run the place.

Ya, but why would they, it's modern day colonialism, with the petrodollar as it's backbone.
