Examples
| Page name | Description |
|---|---|
| "Counter-terrorism" | A component of the military-industrial-terrorism-congressional complex which has seen a dramatic growth since 9-11. Originally referred to special forces trained in terrorist warfare, it became a broader meaning for loss of civil liberties and a culture of fear and mistrust. |
| "War on Terror" | The campaign, launched by the USA under the Presidency of George W. Bush with the support of the UK, and most NATO members (at least formally) and other Western-aligned countries. Nominally a response to the events of 11 September 2001, its stated objective is the elimination of so called 'terrorist organisations', it was in fact conceived long before by a group of terrorist experts, including his father and the groundwork laid at a 1979 conference in Jerusalem as a propaganda term used to legitimise wars of aggression and a scare tactic. |
| 2006 Counter Terror World Summit | Bunch of "counter-terrorists" who met in London 2006 |
| 9-11/Drills | A remarkable number of terror drills occured in the US on or around the day of 9-11, including drills about the hijacking of planes and the flying them into buildings. This is agreed by many 9-11 researchers to have been an obfuscation tactic, and to have hindered response to the real attacks. |
| In the Dark | US Army War College exercise looking into a catastrophic failure of the electrical grid and electronic devices due to EMP or solar storm. Held September 2010. |
| National Level Exercise 2009 | NLE09 was a White House-directed, Congressionally-mandated large scale "terrorism" prevention and preparedness exercise. Held July 2009 |
| Operation Blackout | Simulated sabotage of civilian infrastructure - preempting or preplanning? Held November 2019. |
| Patriot Act | A legislative coup d'état |
