Five Teenagers Vs. 200 Australian Cops

Five teenagers, aged 18-19, were rounded up in raids by 200 Australian police in “terror” raids. The government claimed the teens were planning to go around stabbing people, “inspired by” ISIS. One has been charged so far. The alleged plot was to occur on a military memorial day. (Anzac Day, commemorating Australia's entry into World War I as a loyal client state of Britain, way back in 1914.

According to the BBC (April 18), TWO of the five, both 18, were accused of “plotting an attack.” “They were apparently inspired by Islamic State, and were planning to target police,” said the BBC

(my emphasis). “Police said evidence [unspecified] at the scene suggests they were ISIS-inspired” (also BBC later same day). (Again, my emphases.) (The U.S. domestic radio propaganda network, NPR, merely broadcast a BBC report and did no original reporting.)

Right-wing prime minister Tony Abbott disingenuously announced that “people shouldn't be afraid,” honeyed words belied by his regime's regular beating of the “terrorism” drum, including these very ostentatious raids by a massively-excessive force with maximum media hype. Like yelling “BOO!” and then adding “Don't be scared.”

He is literally right, however, despite his cynicism. If five teenagers with knives vs. 200 armed-to-the- teeth cops (probably encased in body armor and accompanied by helicopters and maybe armored vehicles) is emblematic of the correlation of forces (“terrorists” vs. Australia) I think Australia is in no mortal danger

A previous episode of Tony Abbott's Terror Theatre also featured hundreds of cops raiding homes, which netted a very scary sword. (No bombs, no guns, but maybe computer traces to nasty websites.)

 Obviously Australia monitors hotheads and periodically uses some as fall guys in terror theater productions.

It's worse in the U.S., where the FBI employs con men and criminals as agents provocateur to entrap the mentally ill and dirt-poor down-and-outers into FBI “terrorist plots” which are then “broken up” with great fanfare (and multi-decade sentences for the hapless, duped losers). Even when a targeted victim refuses to play along, and even blows the whistle on the entrapment attempt, he's imprisoned anyway, as Khalifah al-Akili has been, sentenced to eight years literally for a photograph. (See “The FBI Informant Who Mounted A Sting Operation Against the FBI,” The Intercept, April 15, 2015.)

 

Five teenagers with knives- major terrorist threat, or the makings of a small street gang? Obviously ideology makes all the difference. What the teens allegedly THINK is used to turn this into part of an International Threat to Civilization.

A massive global secret police surveillance system is deployed to catch young malcontents. Research in recent years has demonstrated that teenagers' brains incline them to impulsivity, risk-taking, and poor judgment. It has also been shown that they are very susceptible to peer influence, and take risks with their peers that they would never undertake solo. The fact is that the constant, lurid attention to Islamofascism is going to draw the attention of some teenagers. Islamofascism, like cigarettes or illegal drugs or alcohol or sex or driving too fast, has the attraction of the forbidden.

I'd bet that most young seeming adherents to Islamofascism would grow out of it in a few years, given the opportunity. Ironically, the Saudis are pursuing a more enlightened policy towards some “terrorists,” if only out of pragmatism. They have reeducation programs to modify their ideological and psychological orientation. Life in prison for teenagers who do stupid things is draconian and primitive.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the just-convicted surviving Boston Marathon bomber, is facing an all-out attempt by the Obama regime and Eric “I Oppose the Death Penalty” Holder's “Justice” Department to have him executed. He was 19- a teenager- at the time of the bombing 2 years ago in April 2013, and under the thrall of his domineering older brother Tamerlan, who was 26 at the time of the bombing and his death immediately afterwards. [1]

 

Interestingly, the parents of an eight-year-old boy killed in the bombing just published an op-ed in the Boston Globe calling for his life to be spared. Outside of Boston, U.S. media are mostly ignoring it. They too want Dzhokhar to die.

 

I think spending the rest of his life in a tiny concrete box, which will be his fate if he isn't executed, is hardly going soft. In fact, it's less than all but one of the Blackwater butchers of Nisour Square just got. (The Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad was a case the U.S. proved very reluctant to pursue, with the Department of “Justice” doing its best to throw the case, even failing to file some charges until after the statute of limitations ran out. Seventeen Iraqis were slaughtered, trapped in their cars in a traffic jam, although only 14 deaths are being acknowledged by establishment media. One defendant got life, and three got 30 years- the mandatory minimums. The Federal judge obviously regretted having to impose the sentences, making excuses for the killers as he did so.)

As for those five teenagers in Australia, no propaganda opportunity goes to waste. The New York City radio station of the CBS-Viacom media octopus seized this minor event on the other side of the world to sound the terrorist alarm bell for the 10,000^th time. “A plot inspired by ISIS!” they blared. Note the weasel word “inspired.” That's as connected to ISIS as “inspired by a true story” is in the media Moloch's fictional entertainments are connected to actual facts. Who will parse that word, “inspired”? All they'll hear is “ISIS.” Oh, ISIS recruited teenagers to murder people in Australia! Well, no. There was no actual connection to ISIS, unless hearing and reading about something is a “connection.” So I'm “connected” to the Third Reich, and to ancient Egypt, and to the moon.

CBS relied on Rupert Murdoch's propaganda empire, putting on a recording of one of his minions from Sky TV (a cable propaganda network in Britain) to tell us again that the “plot” (no details provided) was “inspired by ISIS” and [unnamed] officials “called it terrifying and evil.” (If there are any government officials terrified of five teenagers with knives, they need to resign immediately. Of course what the “officials,” and the propagandists, really mean is, We want YOU to be terrified! So you'll let us have even more power and take away even more of your rights.

But somehow, the murder of 30 people in an ISIS-CLAIMED, not “inspired,” bombing in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, which also happened yesterday, didn't grab CBS' attention much, if at all. Odd, that. And Afghanistan is actually a lot closer to New York than Australia is.

NPR, the U.S. government domestic radio propaganda network, identified the arrestees as “men,” omitting their ages, even though the BBC, which NPR relies on for most of its overseas coverage, including on this story, clearly said they were teens and gave their ages. They said five were arrested and two charged with a “terrorist plot,” unspecified.

No explanation why three other teens are being jailed on no charges.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. But don't be afraid- the secret police will protect you.

1] How, exactly, Tamerlan died is still murky. At the time, it was claimed his brother ran him over during a shootout with the police. In retelling the story, sometimes establishment media repeats the “run over by his brother” claim, sometimes it doesn't. There was even talk of an explosion. (Alleged photos of Tamerlan's corpse shows large and wide black gashes in his chest.)

Speaking of Tamerlan as domineering, after I wrote this I read an article in Murdoch's very reactionary Wall Street Journal and came across this: “During the first part of the trial, defense lawyers said the younger Mr. Tsarnaev followed the lead of 26-year-old Tamerlan, a domineering force in his family.”

See? Even the Wall Street Journal agrees with me that Tamerlan was domineering. (“Tsarnaev Lawyers Tap Local Imam To Testify,” April 18-19, 2015, page A3, paragraph 5.)

You can't check the citation online unless you pay. Mega Billionaire Rupert Murdoch is a greedy bastard.

The same article gives a one-sentence version of Tamerlan's demise: “His [Dzhokhar's] older brother died shortly after the bombings in a showdown with police.” A showdown? Not a “shootout”? Hmmm.

Given the very strong evidence of the FBI being mixed up in the bombings in advance, such as trying to recruit Tamerlan as an “informer” and then denying the Russian secret police, the FSB, had tipped them off to the Tsarnaevs, after initially claiming the FSB gave them information that was “too vague,” the attempt to execute the unarmed Dzhokhar as he lay motionless inside a small boat parked in a homeowner's driveway, the FBI murder of an acquaintance of Tamerlan's, Ibragim Todashev after two days of interrogation and the subsequent illegal high-speed deportation of three people connected to Todashev, I'm thinking perhaps the plan was to execute both Tsarnaevs on sight. Todashev was shot seven times in his kitchen while surrounded by FBI and police, including in the top of the head.

Todashev was interrogated by the FBI at least five times, and was finally executed on May 22, 2013, the month following the Marathon bombing, in his own kitchen, surrounded by FBI agents and Massachusetts State police, who were far from their jurisdiction in Florida where Todashev lived. Todashev was recovering from knee surgery and needed crutches to get around at the time. The FBI has engaged in a permanent stonewall ever since. Meanwhile the FBI and Massachusetts police has pinned a triple murder in Massachusetts that occurred two years before the bombing on Tamerlan Tsarnaev and on Todashev. For two years there were no arrests or charges in those murders, so I rather doubt the “case closed” propaganda the police and FBI executioners have put out and that the establishment media dutifully repeats as fact. (The dead are so easy to convict. The FBI did the same thing to

The U.S. never notified Todashev's family in Russia of his death, and the FBI “ordered” the local Florida authorities to not release the autopsy report. The FBI only allowed Todashev's corpse to be sent to his family in Russia after a family friend managed to take photos of the body with the bullet wounds, and the family held a news conference in Moscow displaying the pictures. At that point keeping their victim's corpse was pointless for the FBI.

For a primer on the fate of Todashev, the numerous series of mutually exclusive lies spewed by the FBI, the FBI's suppression of information and the illegal deportations, see “The ever-changing stories in Todashev murder.”

Some of the many weapons Superman Ibragim Todashev used to attack a roomful of FBI agents and Massachusetts State Police in his kitchen, according to "law enforcement sources." (Hey, the New York Times believed them!)
