The global war on “terrorism”

8 November 2018 — Voltaire Net

Voltaire Net has assembled a very valuable page of links to articles it has published on the Global war on “terrorism”, 4193 articles to be precise.

In 1980s, the United States and Israel created the concept of “international terrorism” to discredit the national liberation movements, accusing them of being tentacles of the Soviet beast. After the September 11 attacks, responsibility for quashing terrorism was taken away from the police and shifted to the military domain. For the Anglo-American ruling class, the “war against terrorism” had been envisaged as a means of affirming its control over trade routes (free maritime and air circulation), but it served the Bush administration and the Zionist movement to cloak their mistimed colonial adventures (Palestine, Afghanistan, Irak).

The same concept is used by the West to justify the setting up of an Orwellian surveillance society and by the Shangai Cooperation Organisation (Russia, China) to stymie the intrusion of the nomadic populations of Central Asia and to stabilise them by force.
