listening to ats live and ive noticed it is what all of us do...instill fear in thers so we may survive...were all terrorists?

"Terrorist" is a word used by the government,especially the CIA, when they want to make a problem disappear without the hassle of due process.

What happens here on ATA is; people read something on some other conspiracy site, who likely got their info from yet another conspiracy site, and with each passing of hands, the stories become embellished by the art of exaggeration, and the next thing you know something that was never really a big deal, is now some sort of new dooms day scenario.

Its ignorance feeding ignorance.

The word terrorist is quite old, and by far not a new phenomenom. Post 9/11 it became a blanket term for Islamic fundamentalism attacks, and throughout the years it has morphed into anything anti-state (and soon will continue towards anything anti-corporation). It is a political tool, a code word, used to influence the masses and cause fear. Most of the fear is overblown and used to either distract, weaken, and gain acceptence of atrocities commited by those screaming terrorist towards the other.

Another code word is insurgent. I have a project for you, go to any dictionary and tell me the difference between insurgent and rebel. But before you do, in your own words do you feel the two terms are different in anyway? And if they are what are the feelings that you have for one as opposed to the other? You'll be surprised when you read the definitions. Now ask yourself how one is used by the media and government and ditto with the other.

I have been known to terrorize myself.

The words "terrorism" or "terrorist" of today are the equivalent of "communism" or "communist" of the 1950s and 60s. And through the 80s, until communism essentially died out as a global political force.

It's a scare word, to get people to emote and not think.

If you are fighting for a cause that the true PTB consider noble and worthy, you are a patriot and a freedom fighter, if you are fighting for a cause you believe in yet it contradicts the big brother mindset, your a freakin terrorist. So yes, we are all terrorists to some degree and so is every political system in this world.
