Liberty City Seven

In June 2006 the media celebrated a victory in the fight against home-grown terrorism. Although nothing was found that provided evidence for any terrorist activities or plans, like nearly always when "terror suspects" get arrested, the FBI knew for sure that these guys were bad - because they set them up.

While the mainstream media used this case to increase terror paranoia, Paul Watson interpreted the case as a typical falseflag operation.

Now, 18 months later, the court case implodes. The print edition of The Age has a short notice about this in its "In Brief" section, yet no mentioning of this case can be found in the online edition.

What do we learn from this? Nothing really new - arrests of terror suspects are inflated, acquittals are not worth mentioning, even if governmental agencies like the FBI actively created these "terror cells". Informing the public about the nefarious activities of intelligence agencies certainly wouldn't help convincing the public that the torture victim David Hicks needs further mistreatment by his own government.

If governments can only protect us from the terror they create themselves, we would be much safer without them. 3000 people were killed on 911, the US government happily sacrificed more than 3000 soldiers, who died in their aggressive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it does not care about the health of the returning soldiers and couldn't prevent the torrent of suicides among Iraq veterans. Not to mention the thousands of people who died and suffered from lung diseases after 911 in NYC, because they were knowingly send back into a toxic hell. Trust the government, they know best how to kill people.
