"terrorist" is now a MISUSED slur

I DO lay it at the feet of the media.

That is why the CIA is so influential in the media, and the MIC in general.

We are creatures of the media, and we like drama, the requirement of which is "a willing suspension of disbelief". That willing suspension is easily transferred to the way we watch "the news", supposedly what is happening in the world outside. We believe what we see, and we believe what we read, disbelieving none of it, believing every bit of it.

I hope you're speaking for yourself here.

These media said "there is a terrorist behind every tree, around every corner".

No, my friend, it is you who's been indoctrinated. The evidence is in the BS you just posted.

Do you understand the power of suggestion by way of innuendo and implication, or is that above your pay grade?

So this is all 'innuendo' and 'the power of suggestion' you're hearing, and also how the CIA is somehow involved in this.

It's all in your own mind then - which is what I naturally assumed.

Goering used it quite well.
But you just want to argue a point that is clear and correct.

Right. Clear and correct and no BS. I got tired of it. Nazi references as well. It ruins honest debate.

Tone, innuendo, labeling Muslims, all as the enemy, well it has taken root.
And the haters and fear mongers are rejoicing.

Yes. There was some rejoicing in Brussels, I understand. Paris as well. We're quite fortunate that not all Muslims are terrorists. Do you agree?

Some of us are more perceptive than others. Some are more susceptible to indoctrination than others. :peace

Perhaps less fortunate that all terrorists are not muslims. Some wear nice business suits with American Flag lapel pins.

Please point them out and we'll have go at them.

In the meanwhile perhaps we should look at the terrorism which is actually creating the problems and is responsible for the multiple killings we see happening every day.

Well, I found out in 1971 that those guys were in the dope business in southeast Asia, so I would not be surprised if they have grown bigger. Actors is all that it is to be successful, well organized, with government assets at their disposal, just like in the damn movies. :mrgreen:
