The terrorist attacks in Belgium on March 22nd have shown that the 'War on Terror' is not going to go away any time soon. It seems no amount of security or surveillance is capable of 'protecting' us from psychopathic criminals intent on murdering innocent civilians in order to 'take away our freedoms'. The spate of attacks in Belgium come just days after the French media announced the 'good news' that progress was finally being made in bringing some of those terrorists to justice. Europe is now beginning to experience what Syrians in the last five years and Iraqis for over a decade have suffered: the indiscriminate mass murder of civilians. But when 'rebels' commit those kinds of crimes in Syria in the pay of Western allies doing NATO's geopolitical bidding, it is not terrorism. When the comrades of the Belgian terrorists were murdering men, women and children in Syria in 2013, France's anti-terrorist magistrate Marc Trevidic said the following:

"There are many young jihadists who have gone to the Turkish border in order to enter Syria to fight Bashar's regime, but the only difference is that there France is not the enemy. Therefore we don't look on that in the same way. To see young men who are at the moment fighting Bashar Al-Assad, they will be perhaps dangerous in the future but for the moment they are fighting Bashar Al-Assad and France is on their side. They will not attack us.''

But now the terrorists are ''dangerous'' again. That is to say dangerous for the public. Such delinquents, however, present no danger to the political power-elite.

The arrest of Salah Abdeslam in Brussels on March 21st was hailed as a major victory for the Belgian and French governments in Europe's 'war on terrorism'. Indeed, it is rare to see Takfiri/Salafi/Wahhabi terrorists arrested and put on trial. The usual pattern is for them to be killed during a shootout with the police. So, what has changed? Nothing has changed in French foreign policy since the two attacks last year. France continues to sell arms to regimes supporting Wahhabi terrorism such as Saudi Arabia. France continues to support the so-called 'moderate rebels' in Syria, in spite of the fact that no such moderate rebels exist. So, now we have the high profile arrest of a 'chief suspect' in the November 13th attacks, which is being considered a tour de force by the European services involved.



Sooner or later the European authorities were going to have to arrest someone in connection with terrorism. The pattern of 'liquidations' was beginning to look highly suspect, undermining the credibility of 'Western democracies' seeking to uphold the 'rule of law'.

From the supposed murder of Bin Laden in 2011 to that of Mohammed Merah in 2012; Michael Zehaf Bibeau in Ottawa in 2014; the Kouachi brothers and Coulibaly in 2015; to the shooting of Abdelhamid Abbaoud in Paris November 2015 and the execution of Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfee Malik in San Bernardino again in 2015, it seemed Western security forces wanted 'terrorists' dead rather than alive. These 'liquidations' of alleged protagonists also eliminate key witnesses to the crimes in question. The basis for trials is thus made to disappear along with the attending apparatus of evidence, cross-examinations, contending arguments and third-party adjudication. In this fashion the public is left in the dark about whether or not the alleged killers were really guilty, whether they acted alone, or whether they received help from intelligence agencies in perpetrating acts of violence.



There may have been good reasons why the French police wanted the Kouachi brothers killed. They had been allegedly fighting in Syria and had close links to the French intelligence services. Mohammed Merah had worked as an informer for French intelligence and had served in operations in Afghanistan. The leader of France's National Front party Marine Le Pen noted on French TV that Merah had had close links to the DCRI (Direction Centrale du Renseignement Intérieur) the French domestic spy agency, and noted his familiarity with such officials was a matter of grave concern.

On July 21st 2014 Le Monde reported that most cases of 'Islamist' terrorism committed in the United States since 2001 were false flag events orchestrated by the FBI.

While prepared to admit this may be the case in the United States, the French media are deeply reluctant to broach the possibility of state collusion in the orchestration of 'Islamist' terrorism in Europe.



As for terrorist suspects 'liquidated' by the great and good, we can cite the case of the terror mastermind himself, Osama Bin Laden. The Saudi terrorist was widely reported to have been seriously ill when he was apparently visited by CIA agents just months before the September 2001 attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, according to a report in France's Le Figaro newspaper.

He was believed by many to have been dead long before the spectacular US commando assassination in May 2nd 2011. In fact, Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto had already claimed on Al Jazeera in 2008 that he had been murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh.

No proof was ever produced of his death at the hands of US commandos.



The exact role of Saleh Abdeslam in the November 13th terrorist attacks remains unknown. He is said to have been a 'fixer', to have rented cars and to have expressed a desire to commit suicide in the Stad de France but much of this story remains unclear.

No one can explain how Abdeslam managed to hide in Belgium all this time. Can this really be put down to the total incompetence of the Belgian police, as some have claimed?



What is clear is that there will be a trial in front of a 'cour d'assisses speciale', a special sitting of French magistrates without a jury, and the public will never find out about his relationship to Belgian or French intelligence, which must exist, directly or indirectly, given the French state's close ties to Takfiri terrorists in the Middle East and Africa and their string of patsies in Europe.



While articles abound with details about the arrest and turbulent life of the terrorist, no 'respectable' media outlets have dared say the unsayable: that the French state, far from promoting 'democracy' and 'human rights', has become in fact the very fons et origo of Takfiri terrorism, decorating Wahhabite dictatorships who promote the death cult while demonizing, secular and religious democracies fighting Takfri terrorism such as the Russian Federation, The Syrian Arab Republic and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Without the constant military and propaganda cover from the French military-industrial-media-inelligence complex, the Takrifi terrorists in Syria would have been defeated by the Syrian Arab Army in 2011 and the' war on terrorism would be over.



In spite of the fact that France Inter, the country's state radio station in a report aired in December 2015 entitled 'Daesh, autopsie d'un monstre- Daesh, autopsy of a monster' revealed the fact that the USA was responsible for the creation of ISIS, and that the French public have been completely misled concerning the war on Syria, the Big Lie unfailingly resurfaces throughout the French media whenever there is another terrorist attack or when a high profile terrorist/ patsy is officially apprehended or 'liquidated'.



While writing this piece, news came in of another attack in Belgium. An airport and a metro station were attacked. 30 people were killed and 230 more injured.

These attacks will add more stress for innocent civilians traveling to work. There will be sensors at the entrance to metro stations, with long queues. There will be occasional searches by security guards, more security cameras, further restrictions on our civil liberties in the name of 'security'.Meanwhile, more military interventions abroad will be called for to fight the phantom enemy. One of the videos used by Belgian media Dernière Heure was a recording of the terrorist attacks in Moscow Domededovo airport on January 24th 2011. Why the media outlet decided to show a fake video of the Belgian attacks is a question which we are, perhaps, not entitled to pose.

Muslims will suffer in particular in the aftermath of these attacks, as they have become the scapegoats of Zionism's quest for global domination and, let us be clear, Zionism is the form of imperialism which has produced the deeply mendacious 'War on Terror'. The majority of key US neo-conservatives pushing for the 'global war on terrorism' and praying for a pretext to launch that war were American/Israeli dual passport holders or 'Israel firsters'. And Israel's role in the 911 terrorist attacks has been amply demonstrated.



Exploring Israel's role in the fabrication of terrorist events outside Palestine is, of course, indisputably taboo. French investigative journalist Hisham Hamza, who wrote a detailed book on Israel's role in the 911 attacks, was recently arrested for exposing the Israeli origin of the massacre photos at the Bataclan theatre in Paris in the November 13th 2015 terrorist attacks. Hamza could be facing a prison sentence for 'violating the secrecy of an investigation', an absurd allegation from a magistracy clearly operating on behalf of a powerful lobby.



Ofir Akunis, Israel's Minister of Science, Technology and Space, has said the terrorist attacks by Da'esh were due to the EU spending more time labelling goods from the Israeli occupied territories than protecting its citizens from 'Islamist' terror, raising suspicions on social media about the nefarious role of the Jewish State in committing acts of terrorism and blaming them on Arabs.

This new wave of terrorist attacks in Belgium will remind citizens of previous terrorist campaigns.

Although the European Parliament publicly condemned its existence in 1990, Operation Gladio, the CIA's European wide terror network, has never been fully investigated by the European courts.

On February 26th 2013, a short article appeared in Le Monde about court proceedings in Luxembourg relating to the CIA's terror network. But the report only took up a few lines and was buried in the back pages.

In January 2016 an article on Operation Gladio was published in Le Monde again entitled 'The Weight of Lead' about the terrorist campaign in Italy where it was admitted that the secret services and other state agencies colluded with right-wing terrorists to discredit growing left-wing opposition to the capitalist order by committing terrorist acts against civilians and blaming leftist groups. Terrorist attacks of this kind are commonly referred to as false-flag terrorism.



There was been no discussion in the mass media of the possibility, indeed, strong probability that the same forces are at play today in the current 'war on terror'. The Gladio terrorist attacks were part of the CIA's 'strategy of tension' designed to make European citizens look to the state for protection, thereby neutralizing popular discontent with the state's anti-social policies, while maintaining maximum hostility towards the Soviet Union.

Before this week's Belgian attacks, Da'esh released a video threatening more terrorism in France. But many of these videos have been proven in the past to be fraudulent. On November 29th 2002, the BBC published a report on the analysis made of Bin Laden videos by the Dalle Molle Institute for Perceptual Artificial Intelligence. The researchers confirmed that many of the Bin Laden videos released after 2001 were fakes. Yet anonymous 'American experts' argued the contrary. Whose analysis would you esteem to be more credible?

In 2007, the New York Times reported the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abdullah Rachid al-Baghdadi, was a fictional character invented by the US military. The article is among the first to refer to the now infamous 'Islamic State'.

'The ploy was to invent Baghdadi, a figure whose very name establishes his Iraqi pedigree, install him as the head of a front organization called the Islamic State of Iraq .....Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's deputy, sought to reinforce the deception by referring to Baghdadi in his video and Internet statements.'

The official explanation for the US military's ruse was that they wanted to discredit Al -Qaeda in Iraq by placing a foreigner at its head. But this argument is implausible given the fact that Al- Qaeda has always been a loose, international network of fanatics, not a nationalist organization. In fact, the existence of Al-Qaeda in Iraq served to criminalize nationalist, patriotic opposition to the US military occupation.



The evidence of the US/NATO/Israel's collusion with Al-Qaeda and Da'esh/ISIS is far too extensive to be covered here in full. We could talk about US Senator John McCain's photographed meeting with Da'esh in Syria; his statement to the press in which he said: '' I know ISIS intimately, I've met them and I talk to them all the time."

The numerous arms deliveries by the British and American military to ISIS in Iraq; the statements by Israeli ambassadors and military officials that they would prefer ISIS to Iran in Syria.

It is in that context that one could argue President Obama committed an embarrassing lapsus linguae when he admitted that the Pentagon was ''training of ISIL forces, including Sunni tribes from Anbar province''

The evidence that Da'ech/ISIS/ISIL is an instrument of NATO foreign policy, a key military intelligence and strategic asset in an unceasing, imperial war of conquest abroad and the pretext for the imposition of a police state at home, is incontrovertible. These recent arrests and terrorist attacks are new, tragic episodes in oligarchy's never ending war on freedom.

The war on terror is and always has been a class war. When the CIA armed, trained and funded the Mujahedeen in democratic Afghanistan in 1979, they were supporting their class allies, the landlords who used religious fanaticism to maintain their feudalistic class rule over the poor peasantry.

Today the key allies of the Western/Zionist political elites are the Muslim Brotherhood who have the same class interests as their Western counterparts. It is hardly surprising therefore to find that President Erdogan of Turkey, who Le Monde in February 12th 2014 admitted was supporting Da'esh in Syria, predicting terrorism in Brussels in March 19th 2016, just days before the attacks occurred.

It's a dirty game, this war on terror. But when enough people know its rules, the power-elite who have brought it about will be hoisted by their own petard.
