Weapons of Mass Destruction

Allegory of War - Peter Paul Rubens “A weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a weapon that can kill large numbers of humans (and other life forms) and/or cause great damage to man-made structures (e.g. buildings), natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere in general.” ( Wikipedia ) WMD was the official reason behind the attack, to Iraq, perpetrated by the US and its allies. However, later on, it was proven to be the wrong target since Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction whatsoever (not even to annoy Iran if needed be). His only crime was to be a torturer, a murderer, a despotic leader, a bad bluffer and a producer of evil seeds. Today we know that the pre-emptive war shouldn’t have been on Iraq, for we all know who truly holds the Weapons of Mass Destruction: A) Bin Laden and his gang: the 9/11 attacks were an example of the use of a mass destruction weapon. It killed thousands of innocent people and destroyed buildings. Not to mention the fac

Training Knights Lesson 10 Healing PTSD Part 3

By Stephen Cheney Intro Here, we continue with investigations into the workings of the mind. Terrorists/radicals do not appear to suffer from PTSD: Why is that? Ordinary persons may kill, such as in war, but they do not conduct campaigns of torture and death; unless they become radicalized. Becoming radicalized is a mental process, often a brainwashing process. Those who are radicalized, terrorists being a prime example, commit vicious crimes to instil fear, or at least achieve the cowardice of non-opposition to their rule, bending the knees of all to their authority. Experiencing, or even just seeing, such viciousness and the pain of the innocent can shift the minds of less radical humans into a state of PTSD. Of course, history is peppered with numerous examples of armies sweeping the Earth, committing atrocities and genocide. The minds of the soldiers involved have either been radicalized or made devoid of any sociable individual judgement by being supplanted by a military, politi

Maxiavelli: Abortion Contraceptives & Christendom

The Barque of Dante by Eugéne Delacroix This is a brief comment on abortion, hormonal contraceptives and Christendom. The Bible is quite explicit about several rules of conduct, but it speaks not of abortion. So, is abortion a religious matter? I don’t think it is. Abortion is an ethical matter. Ethics basically discusses concepts of right and wrong behaviour and it includes the notion of consequentialism . I am against abortion ; notwithstanding, I refuse to impose my ethical position on others for two reasons: a) I believe in personal choice; b) I believe in reaction to one’s actions; therefore I believe in Karma. This being said, I believe that killing a human life (and there’s no point in sugar-coating it: abortion equals to taking a life which) will bring consequences – both physical and spiritual – despite the reasons why a female undergoes such procedures. But then society can be faced with other ethical questions (that may explain why the Holy Book speak

Central African Republic: The Islamist Assault

On the 24th of March 2013, the Central African Republic (CAR) witnessed yet another coup d'état. President François Bozizé (who first got to power via a coup) was overthrown by Michel Djotodia, the leader of Séléka (a rebel coalition group). CAR is a very appealing country to many political actors due to its natural wealth: minerals, uranium, oil, gold, diamonds, lumber and arable land. Its religious make-up is the following: 50% of Christians, 35% of animists and 15% of Muslims. In this introductory article on CAR, we will address the rebel group - now in power - and its probable intent. Séléka is mainly composed by the Democratic Front of the Central African People (FDPC), the Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace (CPJP), the Patriotic Convention for Saving the Country (CPSK) and the Union of Democratic Forces for Unity (UFDR, supported by Sudan). We will focus on the latter because it was the group that started the CAR Bush War , in 2004; which eventually led to t

The Al-Qaeda 7 Step Plan: The West Complies

Ezbekiyah Street in Cairo - Prosper Marilhat How different are the several Islamist groups? Do they ultimately work towards the same goal? There are no coincidences. Al-Qaeda (AQ), according to Fouad Hussein (in his 2005 book), has outlined a 7-step plan to establish the Islamic Caliphate:

Counter-Terrorism: Limitation of Rights, Torture and Interrogation Techniques

Inferno, Canto XXXI by Sandro Botticelli "Terrorism must be suppressed as an essential element for the maintenance of international peace and security" ( in Legal & Policy Issues When Countering Terrorism by Conte & Ganor) The world doesn't seem to reach a consensus on one universal definition of Terrorism; and I suspect that this is so because many nations are interested in keeping the definition opaque enough for political convenience. Nevertheless, after having read quite a few definitions, I selected one (from Prof Boaz Ganor's "Is One Man's Terrorist Another Man's Freedom Fighter?") that I believe to be the most straightforward of them all: Terrorism is the intentional use of, or threat to use, violence against civilians or against civilian targets, in order to attain political aims (..) based on three important elements: The essence of the activity (i.e. an activity that doesn't involve the use, or threat to use, v
