For years I have tracked and gathered information about terrorists. There is a problem with all this concern and blazing headlines. In nearly two decades they have bombed  the World Trade Center and carried out less than a dozen serious attacks around the world.

Now we have a terrorist attack in Instanbul.

Is it shocking when people blow themselves up and dozens are killed? Yes it is - but how many terrorist attacks have there been in the U.S.?

First I take issue with the word terrorist. A crazy person who kills a lot of people and is not affiliated to anyone is not a terrorist. Secondly the word terrorist was created to evoke an emotional response as per insurgent or attacker. ISIS has yet to claim responsibility for the latest attack. Is that like them to not claim anything which would be to their advantage?

The world media - especially the U.S. media is basically fear mongering to sell advertising. Why are we kept aware of events that for decades do not effect the average person at all?   It does have an effect on people making money. It sells guns for one thing. All this "we are about to be invaded" has been grinding on us for almost a century. When there is an actually army on our shore attacking us - then we are about to be invaded.

We see a year in the U.S. of infinite boredom. What do people have to look forward to anymore?  Love - marriage - prosperity?  Why are there "terrorists"?

Both ISIS (ISIL if you want to take out the emotional horse power of the the word ISIS)  and the Mujahideen and probably even the Al Queda were created by the West. The original word mean toilet bowl and Usama Bin Laden was not even that involved with 9-11.

They needed an organization to take action against- so they created one.  As far as ISIS, they needed a way to get Al-Assad out of power in Syria and it was U.S. weapons and planning that started it.

Want the truth on this?

As Hillary Clinton said - the trick worked when we made the Mujahideen to get Russia out of Afghanistan and continued to help topple the Soviet Union. It did not work in 2014 with Syria.

How many bad decisions can you make before either an administration is ended or tried for treason? Apparently the limit has not been reached. 

How do you get more money for arms and the military? Scare people.

What is terror? Scary monsters and creatures from a comic book?

You can not end or eradicate religion in any form. You could not effectively block all arabs - latins - or an group from entering the country without discrimation and setting up a police state.

A long long time ago when the world and I were young - there were no terrorists.  The first I ever heard of was Patty Hearst

She was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army

Patty Hearst was convicted of bank robbery and ironically pardoned by President Bill Clinton.

comment: The real terrorists often occupy positions in high government. They have no idea or contact with the people they are suppose to represent and often use drugs, prostitutes, and vote on  bills they have never even read.   They are the servants of the corporations and the lobbyists and some have been in office for decades.

It is sad to see people get blown up at airports. It is sadder to see my country on the verge of economic, moral, and cultural ruin. There are more killings committed by drunk drivers than terrorists.

We have a greater problem with heroin, cocaine, and illegal drugs than terrorism.
If we would stay out of a battle in the Middle East that has been going on for 3,000 years since David smacked Goliath and killed him after the entire country had been invaded and order given to slay every man, woman, child, and goat - perhaps we could do a better job at solving our own problems.

Terror is someone you love dying without adequate medical care, housing, food, or from neglect. They will be fighting in the deserts until they are all fused by atomics and who will launch the weapons of mass destruction?  To me - those would be the greatest terrorists of all.

Not if but when. It's not as if people haven't been listening. They listen but still do not fix things.

Not if, but when? Terror in France renews warnings about US threat

comment: The U.S. is long overdue for a terrorist attack as we have been seeing recently in Europe and even a few in California. Why hasn't there been one and will there be one soon?

No doubt we have our share of loose cannons, especially in California armed, dangerous and able to blow things up with or without Isis telling them too or inspired by them. With privately owned drones and quadcopters as well as many U.S. veterans who seem sometimes to be anticipated and possible senile perpetrators, why not?

For one thing we have a pretty effective intelligence community with its fingers just about into everyone's private emails and phones. The only real danger is not a planned highly organized attack. It is a lone wolf crazy with no girlfriend pissed off at his ex-wife and possibly on some heavy psyche meds that loading up his van and crashing it could hurt a lot of people.

A poor economy, lack of jobs, and any meaningful morality or exisitence of a strong family versus alternate life styles are the breeding ground for such people.

Primarily New York especially, Orlando - Florida, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and San Francisco are the pick of the litter targets for such an event not excluding D.C. home of the much distrusted at all levels. These have huge airports, heavy immigration, and are great places for people to hide, and SIP.

Monitoring the smart phone and all communications isn't going to touch a Lone Wolf with no crimnial history of violence or particularily religion and who likes girls (how sublte that was Fox News) as in Nice, France. In fact Isis didn't even want this one - why not?

If anyone has been asleep for the last decade the real battlezone is not with bullets and bombs. You can take a person out with remote devices, drive them nuts and destroy their lives without a shot being fired. Likewise, Isis and Muslims are developing their cyber skills and learning to hack. In the world of nuclear refinement, it was the virus on the centrifuges that messed up their would be bomb plutonium - not a nuke on an Iran lab.

Why fight when you can do it cleanly and very difficult to trace?

Bombs are messy and while getting a lot of media attention, don't do much but influence minds which are mostly numb at this point and people who don't care and don't want to be involved.

If any nuke goes off if, will probably be one of our own or at a nuclear power plant as a virus shuts down the cooling and we do a China Syndrome scenario. That what they were scoping out in one of the recent attacks.

As the title of this thread say- Isis Fatigue here

There always has to be an organization?  Crazy people read the net and get motivated. They don't get paid and they feel like dying and punishing someone.

The first effective way to deal with (can we lose the word terrorism?) destructive crazy people and groups is to focus on there most effective tools which we have the least way of stopping without a lot more tech and people in the loop that can help.

Hint.

Tired of hearing about them and not hearing what we have done to stop them.
