Despite being a law abiding citizen who has no desire to hurt anyone, I am terrified of the US government. Specifically it’s defense and law enforcement sectors. I suspect I am not alone in that fear. Yet that government is constantly warning us about terrorism and terrorist. My gut tells me that the police fit the definition of terrorists more completely than anyone the US government has ever called a terrorist. That the US military fits that definition better as well.

I looked up the definition of Terrorism on a couple different dictionary sites to determine if I was missing something, or if the ruling media class is just bold face lying.

• Merriam-Webster - the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion

  • That seems to describe the police pretty well, I’ve always been a bit scared when I interact with police. Even during a traffic I’m handing over driver’s license partially because I’m scared of the cops. The military is designed to terrify people into complying with the goals of the US.

• Cambridge - someone who uses violent action, or threats of violent action, for political purposes

  • I checked the definition of political here and it would appear that enforcing laws would qualify as a political purpose. Attempting control the actions or way another country is run would also qualify as political purpose.

• Britannica - Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature

  • Considering that police in the US are often found to have done illegal things, I don’t the argument that they aren’t criminals holds much weight. Considering the number of war crimes committed by the US military, it absolutely fits this definition.

• FBI

  • International - Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored)
    • I think that basically says scary criminals who like people congress wants to destroy. That seems pretty arbitrary to me.
  • Domestic - Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature
    • Sounds like they are say scary criminals who opinions that different the owning class.

As far as I can tell police fit the definition of terrorist listed in 3 out of 3 of the most popular dictionaries better than anyone on the FBI’s list of designated foreign terrorist. This leads me to conclude that when the media uses the term terrorist, the only terror that matters is that of the financial elite and their proxies. When the FBI is drawing up it’s list of designated terrorist, it only considers the politically active billionaires’ fears. Our terror doesn’t matter to them. The billionaires’ terror is the only terror that matters to ones in charge.

The only brown face that comes to my mind when I hear the word terrorist today is Obama’s. The rest are other presidents and law makers.

My apologies for the long rant, and thanks for reading.
