Explosions in Brussels

[Michael Barwell]

PARIS (AP) Security officials have told The Associated Press that the Islamic State group has trained at least 400 attackers and sent them into Europe for terror attacks.
The network of interlocking, agile and semiautonomous cells shows the reach of the extremist group in Europe even as it loses ground in Syria. The officials, including European and Iraqi intelligence officials and a French lawmaker who follows the jihadi networks, describe camps designed specifically to train for attacks against the West.
The officials say the fighters have been given orders to find the right time, place and method to carry out their mission.

That's it. The whole story. Who are these unnamed "security officials" and how do they have this information?

Well, while I'm not saying that this is not just made up or exaggerated to terrorize the European and Western populations (generally), but what would you do if your country had been invaded several times in the last 150 years and again recently, millions killed, your government and nearby governments overthrown, your religion and heritage dragged in the mud, and your faith and aspirations condemned as an entire group - but to strike back at what you perceive as the attackers?!...... It really doesn't take a genius to figure out that there would be less problem if 'we' in the West left others alone, rather than bomb them, steal their resources, kill them, make their lives miserable, and try to control their governments and more for our own purposes..... My own hunch is there have been some real revenge attacks and many more false-flag attacks - with some LIHOP thrown in for good measure.

Interesting line in Pentagons Brain, about how the Pantagon is baulking at 'hearts & minds'; seems they've dumped the Jasons for being too sensible (they don't think turning ppl into cyborgs is a good idea) & off-goosestep with how the Pentagon is turning itself into a rival Los Zetas - "the most technologically advanced, sophisticated, powerful, ruthlessly violent and dangerous cartel operating in (Mexico)." (- an old reference there), and have turned to the DSB instead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Science_Board (who do think turning ppl into cyborgs is a good idea), 'cos they're 'our flava' nutters. This thing that I'm always blabbing-on about, how they've sheep-dipped & silver bulleted me; I watched 'Body of Lies' t'other day, an' the bit where Leo says to Sheik ISIL "We own you" got a shitload of refs, sudden pains & clicks in my head [just like that one to my right temple] - it's not big an' it's not clever, in this electromagnetic soup we're in. The air campaign against ISIL's been simply cosmetic from that side of the 'effort'. Seems to me that there's no will to engage in conversation with some of these ppl, there's just a massive ego-maniacal bunch of seedy, skulking, individuated & surely psychopathically deranged grunts calling the shots (see that Yemeni marketplace last week). It's like a footy penalty shootout, with these mongs as goalie - every bugger expects a goal, but on the off-chance theres a save - HEEEROOOO! 'cept they've turned the whole ground into a free fire zone an' the silly bugger's're using Vulcan sodding Phalanx on Manuel. "Heeeroooo!"
