TERRORISTS & Weapons Of Mass Destruction - Very Close To Where You Live

As our country faces the potential of charging into another war, much like the final vision I received on the other side in 1975 (see http://www.dannion.com), I realize how drastically the definition of certain words in my life have changed since 1975. For example: terrorism.
As a result of spending the past 25 years working as a volunteer in end-of-life care, my present definition of terrorism is not just based on what happened to us on September 11, 2001.
The dictionary defines terrorism as:
A. The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
B. The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation, and
C. The systematic use of violence as a means to intimidate or coerce societies or governments.
It is my conviction that true terrorism has been waged against our most vulnerable population on a daily basis.. It is happening in our hospitals and nursing homes across the country each and everyday. These are the very places we are putting our parents and grandparents for safe keeping.
The hundreds of thousands of reported and unreported cases of violent abuse and inhumane neglect of our elderly represent a display of terrorism at its ultimate despicability.
1. The mistreatment of our senior citizens.
2. The neglect of our veterans.
3. The prohibitively high cost of prescription drugs.
4. The global presence of slavery and death by starvation.
5. Child abuse and domestic violence towards women, and
6. The seeming lack of the drug industry's concern for humanity at large.
These are all examples of despicable acts of terrorism in its truest form.
A terrorist is any person in power, such as our elected officials, who have been entrusted with the responsibility to protect the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of those who elected them and does not live up to that responsibility.
Anyone who researches the Federal Register for all of the hearings and information brought forth by experts on the issues of elder abuse and neglect, as well as domestic violence, will be shocked at what they find. The knowledge that has been amassed and the lack of quality legislation introduced and actually signed into law to remedy these situations is completely inadequate.
In other words, those in power know the truth yet, they do next to nothing to stop it. THAT IS MY DEFINITION OF A TERRORIST!
1. The CEO's, CFO's,
2. bank officials,
3. and stockbrokers
who all conspired to destroy the lives
of the small investors participated in the
near-collapse of the American economy,
they're terrorists, too!
As voting members of this great republic, you and I can be considered co-conspirators in this terrorism if in knowing the truth we do not take an immediate and proactive stand against it!
When you realize how many people are murdered in hospitals and nursing homes as a result of medical procedures gone wrong, obvious misdiagnosis, and improper drug administration, along with the lack of the integration of alternative and complementary therapies, it is all too clear that Homeland Security should be defined as the guardian of the rights of these citizens as well.
Since the year 2000, more than 100,000 people (children and adults) have died in hospitals due to the lack of proper hygiene and sanitation. In my opinion this is the presence of a modern day deadly and evil scourge threatening the innocent and helpless. The reason behind this appalling statistic is that these institutions have a bottom-line based on the profitability of their stock instead of the health and well being of their patients. The lack of concern for these patients, in both federally and privately funded institutions, is now equally in need of Homeland Security by anyone's definition.
My final concern is my current definition of a weapon of mass destruction. In my opinion......
1. starving children,
2. the collapse of the family institution,
3. a lack of a spiritual basis of our existence
are all examples of weapons of mass destruction.
Recently, we were all confronted with the constitutionality of a Pledge of Allegiance that includes the words “under God”. We have also been confronted with whether a moment of silence can be observed before the onset of any sporting event.
The rights of all Americans to observe deity-appreciation in public places, such as prayer in school, the power of special interests groups, and their control over the agenda and legislature of our local, state and federal governments must be labeled as weapons of mass destruction. For they serve to undermine our most cherished American values (In God We Trust).
I realize that you may or may not agree.
Much of my understanding of the issues - terrorism, American values, homeland security, and war - has come from 25 years at the bedside of veterans. To broaden your understanding of these things, please visit a veteran today
With purpose,

I think he is right to point out overall neglect of the elderly and veterans. I feel sorry for elderly and homeless but I have problem feeling sorry for veterans who willingly joined army and went killing people in the name of Zionistan. In my opinion they should be sent to Israel and let Zionist to care for them. People have long ago became expendable commodities for the corporate warlords and in disturbing ignorance masses continue to believe that everything is fine in DC, London, TelAviv, Paris etc. Nothing is fine, anywhere you look is deterioration and humiliation of mankind. Welcome to the 21st century. Century of information and utter IGNORANCE about world that we live in. Dark Ages just got sequel.
"Let there be Light!"

Yeah, we are our own worst enemies. How many times will we be fooled? BTW, the Dark Ages were the Middle Ages and not really that "Dark" at all. The establishment calls it "Dark" because they had little control, so in that sense, I welcome the "Dark Ages."
I understand this authors point and believe he is generally on point for someone who doesn't acknowledge(know?) about Zionism. But the problems run much more deep and this person is only scratching the surface and going after the players, rather than the instigators.
I have a lot of sympathy for the author's message, but we have to get the terminology right.
The article starts out well with definitions of terrorism: In short there is a political purpose with terrorism however meaningless the act of terrorism is!
If we stick to this kind of definition the maltreatment of the elderly etc. how despicable it is, is not covered by the concept of terrorism if it does not have a political purpose.
Only in case that the author sincerely believes that people are deliberately mis diagnosed and mis medicated and die because of that we may consider it genocide which may possibly be covered by the concept of terrorism, especially if the political message is "do not dare to get anywhere close to the health sector, because you will surely die", and the reason is to discourage citizens from seeking help when there may be adverse consequences for the national economy. I have no grounds to believe that this is the case, but if there are reasons for suspicion it is important to find out.
Concepts are what intelligent life is based on. Concepts are the building blocks of thinking, and if we blur the concepts we tear down the very foundation of intelligent life.
I do not claim that the author deliberately tries to blur or confuse concepts, but I want to warn that if we are not careful the cost may even be the loss of civilization and freedom. On this blog we are keenly aware who would like to bring about such a situation.
Look at 9/11 to the extent it is possible to discuss 9/11 in the open: The "conspiracy theorists" often conclude that 9/11 was an "inside job" with or without assistance from Mossad. The reaction to that is name calling and an argumentation that a series of events took place due to "incompetence", which is found in the opposite end of the spectrum.
Now, the same way we want to verify whether we can rightfully use the term "terrorism" on care for the elderly or on 9/11 we must verify that "incompetence" is indeed the right term to apply for what happened on 9/11.
Normally incompetence with disastrous consequences like fires, train crashes etc. is determined in the courts of law.
Whether we claim "terrorism" or "incompetence" the burden of proof must be the same. Let us get all the evidence out in the open and let us have clear and transparent court rulings.
I think he makes excellent points about terrorism. He makes concise points of what REAL terrorism is. He is pulling at its roots.
No do does not mention zionism or jews, but he does mention secret institutions with power. Close enough for me, for now. Lots of people come close to the truth without admitting it or realizing it.
People have conceptions and misconceptions of what terrorism is whether they read the dictionary or not.
HIS should be included.
BTW , what's the idea putting blame on the veterans? Which war veterans are you talking about. He doesn't say, but I know he visits veterans from several 'wars'.
The majority of veterans really didn't even know what they were fighting for. They were lured, poor, lied to, brainwashed.
And DUPED.....you give the jury for that woman over the download lawsuit concessions but not the war veterans?
