The Terrorist Times
Special Report
Millions today have celebrated the martyr operations in New York and Washington D.C. throughout the world.
In the first world people have done so in privacy, in their own homes or in the work place, in the wake of a multinational effort of corporate U.S. propaganda containing hypocrisy, racism, orientalism, victimization and slander attacks onto unknown suspects.
In the third world, where astronomical numbers of people have died from malnutrition, disease and war as a result of U.S. foreign policy since the formation of the U.S. empire, have done so more openly, largely ignored by the U.S. corporate media.
In the West Bank, thousands of Palestinians celebrated chanting ``God is Great'' and distributing candy to passers-by, even as reformist leader, Yasser Arafat, said he was horrified. To many Palestinians, Arafats comments came as a betrayal while his people are being massacred by U.S. artillery and ammunition by its Israeli police state proxy.
The U.S. government is unpopular and has many enemies. It is hated and despised by the vast majority of intelligent and educated people in the world.
In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and government targets in Washington.
Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried Palestinian flags. Nawal Abdel Fatah, 48, wearing a long, black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying she was happy because ``America is the head of the snake, America always stands by Israel in its war against us.''
In traditionally Arab east Jerusalem, there was a smaller gathering of about two dozen people, many of them young children led in chants by adults. Some drivers passing the scene honked their horns and flashed victory signs from their windows.
Although, not all was bright, some, have taken on an apologist stance for U.S. imperialism, denouncing the operations of the martyrs as "inhumane", "unprovoked" and "unthinkable".
Many U.S. puppet regimes throughout the world, and client states have also folded in the wake of today's historical events, but this must be expected living in a "free world" led by the U.S. empire in today's New World Disorder.
For The Terrorist Times, this historic day is regrettable, but joins the celebrations of a very important day expressing its solidarity to the martyrs.
Any one ever heard of the Terrorist Times? Or like me do you suspect that someone just made up the publication in some foolish bid for legitmacy? It is not unlike corporate media in this respect - the false legitmacy, the pandering to emotions.
I am seriously very thankful that sites like like the IMC exist so that I may find folks who of a like mind about yesterdays events. During the Gulf War I felt isolated and marginalized. During the hysteria following Oklahoma City I was again isolated and marginalized. But today I find that the web offers an alternative to mindless rants and corporate news (elements of which both find their way on to this site but are themselves marginalized and for once in the minority).
Thank you IMC.
The so-called "Terrorist Times" is nothing more than some agent provocateur b.s.
perpetrated by agents and idiots trying to stir up animousity and dissent against the
IMC. The so-called "martyrs" were no doubt highly-skilled strike forces agents (Dan
Rather noted that our special forces were "second to none") who probably bailed out
before the planes hit impact.
These same terrorists claim to be "god's" chosen people and commit murder in the name of "Allah". They accomplished nothing short of the slaughter of people who have NO IDEA of what political nonsense, hatred, and rhetoric these people spew on a daily basis.
How much damage to the economic and military infastructure have they affected? .000000001% ? In the process killing men, women, and children. I know I don't want to live in a country where women can't vote or drive, or the penalty for being Jewish is death. They are no better than the SS of Nazi Germany in my eyes.
They have made the U.S. Government and most of it's population so angry, that there is a possibility for an all-out war.
Murder is murder.
