Brussels explosion, early analysis.
191 2016-03-22 by Kabukikitsune
This is just a fact based post, using what data we have currently. As such, what is listed here is prone to possible change. My personal analysis will come after the break. (IE -----)
Around 8 AM, an explosion occurred at Brussels airport. First reported to be at the American Airlines ticket counter, since dismissed. Actual explosion happened at two separate check in locations, prior to the gate inspection area.
A second explosion occurred moments later. (same location)
An hour later, approximately 9 AM , confirmed explosion at metro station Maalbeek. Metro explosion happened inside a train. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CeJLNfBUYAAB3HX.jpg (ref photo) The Maalbeek station is also near a number of important EU buildings such as Berlaymont building, which houses the EU Commission and the Council of the European Union. Metro station 20 confirmed deaths, 106 injured
Other explosions rumoured at Kunst-Wet, Schuman. Found to be a false report, possibly intentional to distract responding units.
Metro stations have been cleared.
Train stations are being cleared.
Students at Brussels Universities are advised to stay inside.
Cellphone networks are congested.
Multiple suspicious packages reported, Bomb disposal units are heading to each one.
CONFIRMED CASUALTIES: 13 at the airport REVISED TO 10, 35 wounded. 15 at Metro Station Maalbeek, 55 wounded.
Parliament is being cleared. At Aprox. 11:15 GMT+1 Parliament has been closed.
Belgium/French border is completely closed, then downgraded from closed to increased security.
Federal Prosector has confirmed that at least one of the airport attacks was a suicide bombing.
Montgomery tunnel in brussels is closed off by police.
All Brussels EU Building are on Lockdown, no word on evacuation yet.
Facebook has activated the "mark as safe" feature.
Palace evacuated. Mixed reports here. Most News agencies reported the Palace was evacuated, and then quickly changed to say it was not. (Standard security procedure. You don't want whoever is doing the attack knowing that possible targets are on the move.)
Citizens being encouraged to help others evacuate using a hastag on twitter or uber called #ikwilhelpen to offer up free spots in their vehicles to help people evacuate.
All rail traffic has stopped, with many trains coming to rest where they are. No orders on when movement will be possible. The Paris-Brussels has begun reversing trains, while London-Paris is still operating under guarded (means slower speed) restrictions.
Citizens are being told to stay where they are, with metro trains and all public transit halted. Many passengers are trapped on trains and not being allowed to leave.
Bomb Squads have started destroying packages, producing more explosions. Reports are sketchy, but at least ten other explosive packages or suspected explosives have been found.
One non exploded suicide belt discovered at the airport, with police demolitions squad on site for disarming. It's believed the bomb failed to detonate due to an error.
No particular group is claiming responsibility for the attack.
At least one vehicle/car bomb has been demolished through the use of a controlled explosion.
Belgian army has fully mobilized to respond to the bombings, assisting the police force (which has been stretched thin) with bomb disposals. A second car bomb found at the airport. Army units are under orders to simply destroy the explosives in situ, as opposed to attempting to disarm them. (This actually makes sense, as trying to disarm every single one would make it hard to track them all down, and chance further explosions.)
France has mobilized medical aid, both in the form of military units, and ambulances and doctors to send to Belgium to assist in the crisis.
Planes en route to Belguim are being routed into neighboring countries, primarily France, but also the Netherlands and Germany.
Belgian authorities have provided a number for persons outside of the country to contact and find out status of loved ones. However they request people try social media first, to help alleviate some of the congestion on both land and cell lines.
Syria has expressed a severe condemnation of the attacks, and sent its condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims. The condemnation did not come without a barb, with the Syrian official stating quote "inevitable result of wrong policies and a tolerance for terrorism". (never would have expected Syria to condemn it....)
Tihange nuclear power plant in the Belgian province of Liege has been evacuated. At the moment there is NO evidence suggesting this has anything to do with the situation in Brussel. It is being reported as a standard crisis/attack response. Order to evacuate was rescinded, as reported by an operator present at the power plant. All plants nation wide are running on a "weekend" schedule, meaning a majority of workers were sent home, with a skeleton crew remaining on duty.
Proximus (a belgian telecom company) has unlocked their service and is encouraging users to use it free of charge (through wifi primarily) to contact loved ones both in Belgium and abroad.
Train stations are expected to be open in the coming hours. (This means rail transit. Metro will take longer due to damage to the system.)
Unconfirmed reports of gunfire. Some sources claim this may be due to weapons in one or more of the destroyed vehicles.
Berlaymont building is getting evacuated, it's the building where the European Commission is located. Building previously was on lockdown.
Police have raided a number of locations. No details on where the information is sourced to point to these locations. (Possibly tied to owners of the vehicles)
Turkey has offered their condolences, saying “Turkey is truly sorry” to hear about the Brussels terror attacks and expressed “condolences to the Belgian people.”
The Belgian Justice department is warning journalists, including foreign journalists, not to report on ongoing police investigations which could put the lives of the public or police officers at risk. Newspaper Le Soir says it will comply.
The Flemish-speaking Free University of Brussels (VUB) has said it has received a “specific threat” to its Etterbeek campus in the city and has advised students and staff to remain indoors or return to university buildings immediately.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned what he called “barbaric acts” in Brussels, Russian news agency Interfax reports, quoting his press secretary Dmitry Peskov. “The president resolutely condemned these barbaric acts, expressed his condolences to the Belgian people and assured King Philippe of absolute solidarity with the Belgians in these difficult hours,”
Chairman of the Duma’s foreign policy committee Alexei Pushkov tweets: “While (Nato chief Jens) Stoltenberg, is busy fighting the imaginary ‘Russian threat’ and putting troops in Latvia, under his nose in Brussels people are blown up.”
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, and threatens further attacks in nations which oppose the Islamic State.
Photos of the two suicide bombers have been released by Brussels authorities in the hopes they are recognized and identified.
One photo, believed to be the suicide bomber who's belt failed, has been released. Police officials are searching for the man. Curiously, the man in the photo seems to be wearing a disguise of some manner.
Three American civilians are reported as injured. They are identified as Mason Wells, 19, Richard Norby, 66, and Joseph Empey, 20. The three are reported to be in serious but stable condition. They were apparently some Mormon missionaries, with Empey and Wells being abroad for their Mission trip. US media reports said that in a dark twist of fate, Wells had a similarly close call three years ago while in Boston accompanying his mother who was running the marathon.
The US air force earlier said one of its service members from Joint Force Command Brunssum (a Nato command), the Netherlands, along with several of his relatives were also injured but their names and details of their conditions have not been released.
Muslim leaders in Belgium unilaterally condemned the attacks in Brussels on Tuesday.
Belgian papers are reporting that it is believed the attack is a result of an ongoing investigation on the part of Belgian police. Officials had been concentrating on a particular Brussels neighborhood in an investigation of an Islamic State recruitment network. Brussels has a high proportion of citizens who travel to Iraq, insular Muslim communities believed to have helped shield jihadists, and security services that have had problems with their counterterrorism operations.
(I WILL update this as it develops.)

Reddit has slowed/stopped updating of the Brussels Thread
The following was posted by u/know_comment. This includes links, and is the update of the manhunt. As before, this is included to keep everything in one easy to use place, kinda like a research point, with the above being posted to serve as an archive of Reddit's "live" thread. The only editing on my part is for format.
Nov 13, 2015: Paris Attacks:
Abdelhamid Abaaoud hides in St. Denis and Salah Abdeslam escapes to Belgium (even being pulled over by police but distracting them by smoking pot...).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks
Nov 18, 2015: Saint Denis Raid. Abaaooud suicide bombs himself in police raid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Saint-Denis_raid
March 15th: Police in Brussels raid house rented by under a false name. Two suspects escape via rooftop. Four officers injured in shootout. One suspect- Mohamed Belkaid, a 35-year-old Algerian citizen is killed shooting at police with an automatic rifle and shotgun. Scene linked to Salah Abdeslam by a fingerprint on a glass. Two brothers and Abdeslam now on the run.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_police_raids
Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, both already known from Brussels gangster environment. So the 17-year-old Khalid El Bakraoui was sentenced in 2011 to five years in prison for a series of carjackings. Ibrahim was again involved in a violent robbery of a currency exchange in Brussels and thereby opened fire on the police in January 2010. For those offenses he was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Khalid el-Bakraoui used a false name to rent a flat in Rue De Dries where police killed a gunman in a shootout on 15 March, according to RTBF. A fingerprint of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the Paris terror attacks, was found during the raid
This article claims on March 16th that the 2 brothers were detained after fleeing the raided home: http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/652985/Paris-attacks-terrorist-suspects-arrested-Brussels-police-raid March 18th: Police raid house due to a large pizza order... Abdeslam shot in leg and taken into custody along with several others.
In addition to the brothers, police announce that they are searching for Najim Laachraoui, 24, a Belgian citizen, and Mohamed Abrini, 31, who was recorded by a surveillance video camera with Mr. Abdeslam two days before the Paris attacks. Laachraoui is connected via photographs and DNA with Abdeslam.
The authorities found Mr. Laachraoui’s DNA at the house in Auvelais and also at a house on Rue Henri Bergé, in the Schaerbeek section of Brussels, that was searched on Dec. 10. In the property on Rue Henri Bergé, investigators found traces of TATP, which has become the signature explosive for Islamic State operations in Europe. TATP can be made with common household products and was an ingredient in the suicide vests used in the Paris assaults. Mr. Abdeslam’s fingerprints were also found at the house.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/22/world/europe/paris-attacks-accomplice-najim-laachraoui.html?_r=0 If this guy is the "Chief bombmaker", why is he at the scene of the most recent attack?
In the Charleroi hideout, police had found DNA traces of Paris attacks ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud as well as Chakib Akrouh, both of whom were killed north of the French capital days after the Paris attacks under a hail of police bullets.
SO now all of these guys (some of whom have been dead since november) have DNA in this apartment.
And there's one more loose end- Laachraoui
Some are claiming he was arrested...
http://news.yahoo.com/brussels-airport-suspect-najim-laachraoui-arrested-belgian-media-104400309.html Some are claiming he was killed... Saying that he was one of the two who died at the airport- the other brother being the one at the train station. The third "unidentified" person from the airport is still being sought.
It's interesting that all of these guys were known and being publicly investigated for their connection with the Paris attacks. The brothers who were supposedly the suicide bombers were known criminals and would have been watched closely by the justice system and intelligence services. edit:
according to this report, one of the brothers was deported from Turkey to the Netherlands, and Turkey claims that they warned Belgium that he was a suspected foreign fighter. the article also claims:
They – along with Khalid el-Bakraoui, who bombed the Maelbeek metro station – were being sought by police in connection with the terror attacks in Paris, and in particular were thought to be linked to Salah Abdeslam, one of the Paris attackers, who was arrested in Brussels this week. A fourth man was also part of that police search: Mohamed Abrini, 31, a Belgian of Moroccan origin, who allegedly played a key role in planning the assault on Paris.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2016/mar/23/brussels-attacks-police-search-airport-bomb-suspect-live A fifth suspect appears to be "Soufiane Kayal", who was traveling with Abdeslam (arrested on the 18th) and Mohamed Belkaïd (killed on the 15th raid on the brother's apartment).
So, my thoughts? First of it's one HELL of a co-ordinated attack. You're looking at something that took a lot of planning. The first two explosions are textbook, when it comes to terrorist attacks. You detonate one bomb, creating havoc and injuries. Then as first responders, police, and fire arrive, you detonate a second one to kill as many of those responding. The IRA was known for doing this, and made something of a science of it. The bombing at the metro station is also textbook. The city is on high alert at that point, meaning that citizens will be trying to leave the areas affected. They'll naturally concentrate in two places. First being the streets, and second being public transit. Thus, to get the highest kill count, it only makes sense to detonate a bomb in the public transit system. In a way, it means that the first two blasts are effectively warning shots. Not really intended to kill as many people as they are to cause the expected "flight" response. It's the second blast that wreaks the most damage. Scattering packages around to other targets also makes sense from a terrorist point of view, as you quickly cause the responding units (police, fire, etc) to have to stretch themselves thin. Of those hidden packages, you don't really need to have them actually have explosives, since you're really just trying to stretch things out to a point that the responding units will have a hard time tracking everything down. Meaning it makes it easier for the terrorists to either detonate further explosives (most likely) or easily escape the city.

I'm a skeptic. I question everything. I don't agree with the narrative, but by the same token I recognize that a majority of things which truthers claim to be fact, do not have any standing based on actual science, or metallurgic facts.
1 captain_teeth33 2016-03-22
you come off as biased, not like a skeptic at all. you appear to accept and support official narratives based on faith in authority.
that you use the term 'truther' is more of a giveaway.
finally, I'd love to hear your skeptical interpretation of the meteorite, eutectic steel and molten steel that flowed 'like you were in a foundry' 'like lava, a volcano' according to first responders.

this entire sticky post is a derailment. the color chart of metals?

and you didn't even mention how eutectic steel is formed . how do you think the meteorite was formed?

The analysis comes after the break, or did you not read it?
0 daddie_o 2016-03-22
Yes I read it. I don't consider that analysis. Or at least not a critical analysis. You're taking everything they're reporting at face value and going from there. And the conclusions you reach on that basis are faulty. You talk about the two-bomb strategy to attract rescue workers. But in that case the bombs go off minutes apart; here it was reportedly 10 seconds apart.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the exhaustive reporting you pulled together and linked for us. But as for your analysis? I found it lacking in the extreme.

And it was on the same day as the EU were scheduled to discuss re-launching the Palestinian peace process
European Parliament Committee Meetings
European Parliament, Brussels
"Palestine: Palestine's Foreign Affairs Minister Riad Al-Malki will join Foreign Affairs Committee Members to debate the political situation there, including the inter-Palestinian reconciliation talks, the economic and humanitarian situation in occupied Palestinian territories, initiatives for re-launching Middle East peace process, and the regional situation."
Interestingly they were also discussing renewal of the approval of glyphosate, perhaps someone who knew the plans wanted this kept out of the news, overshadowed by the bombing

So students of Yale are the terrorists? Jesus Christ....
6 Scroon 2016-03-22
"...students of Yale are the terrorists"
This sounds funny because it's both an oversimplification and overgeneralization.
It's not all the students at Yale, nor is it only the students at Yale. It's some people from an elite and historically significant university who joined an elite, secretive society within that university. They are possibly part of a larger group that does nefarious things behind the scenes.
They're also not, allegedly, the terrorists themselves. Certain members of the secret society, in theory, would be running operations that employ terrorist type people.

Just like how Snowden is most likely still working for the CIA. People are now careful about what they say on-line because of fear, unlike places like China where things are explicitly censored.
3 Scroon 2016-03-22
It does seem a little strange that Snowden is n the media so much without having been "taken out". TPTB seem to have such a lock on the dialogue in Western media that you have to wonder why they would let such bad press out.
I always say one "good" thing about China vs the US is that in China at least they tell you that they're watching you.

I haven't thought about it enough to tell you why they'd do it in this manner, but supposedly putting sort of subconscious clues is a fairly regular 'TPTB' strategy.
It can get really deep into occult stuff and the nature of reality or whatever, but basically if you put the idea that something will happen into the collective consciousness, that will actually cause the event (or whatever) to manifest itself in reality. Law of Attraction I think they call it.
Have you watched 'The Secret'? Pretty good intro to this thought process IMO, even if you think its nonsense. You still have to actively work towards your goals, but the act of visualizing it facilitates its appearance in reality or somesuch.
What I'm getting at is that its not so much of a calling card, as it is a 'coincidental' result of these peoples work. They work hard and put a lot of mental energy into something, and it synchronizes itself with other things that they put a lot of mental energy into (like the number 322). Maybe they didn't plan the bomb to explode at 9:11, but the fact that 9/11 has become such a significant event worldwide has left a huge impression in the collective unconscious (if you go for that) that it causes events like this to synchronize 'coincidentally'.
4 omnxbeast 2016-03-22
This poster has a point. Truly fascinating work on this out of a Princeton lab where collective thought causes random number generators to no longer be random.
http://noosphere.princeton.edu/
List of events: http://noosphere.princeton.edu/results.html ...the biggest spike was 9/11 where the whole world was all thinking the same thing (sorrow etc. about the event); not saying this has to do with the cause of it. Rather, gives credibility to the poster above stating that people spending energy on this could cause something to happen.
3 alittlesuicidal 2016-03-22
That's actually a really interesting theory. I never thought that it could be a synchronization caused by their collective unconscious. We need more outside the box thinking in this sub.

They "warn" us because they need consent. Even if it's implicit and indirect. For them, these happenings are rituals based on free will and chaos magick. To make a ritual even more powerful, you need more buy in. This is magick 101 right here. By manipulating our free will, not only is their ritual more powerful, but it also gives them plausible deniability.

Then society responds with "yeah ok,I'm not going to research anything myself along as the PM who I did not/would never vote for said its not who I think it is, I'll just plod along until the next one.

1 petrus4 2016-03-22
As long as the terrorist incident takes place after the game, and is a result of the terrorists being supporters of the team that lost the match, people probably won't mind so much. I had been under the impression that an after-game riot was more or less considered traditional for a soccer match anyway. You riot if your team lost, and the other supporters riot if theirs did.
2 SKINNERRRR 2016-03-22
Football fans are just tribalists at best, as long as they see a large group with their flags and colours they will play along. You're right about the reaction of a hypothetical attack at a football stadium. They will get mad, torch the first cars they see, throw things then go home, wake up and not care.
Also if football hooligans are europes last line of defence, we are well and truly fucked as a society.

Its a tricky situation though. Obviously, I think anyone who thinks that numbers have any sort of real cosmic significance are not using their brains...
...but some very powerful people throughout history have believed in numerology, so its not insane to question these things. I've seen so many coincidental number things to think that there isn't anything behind it.
But then theres incidents that don't seem to have any numerological significance to anyone and you wonder if its all bogus after all...

These kind of coincidents always make me wonder...
Just curious, what would be the speculative possible/plausible reasons for the involvement of the Skull & Bones in this attack? Anybody have any thoughts on this?
7 Plan2Exist18 2016-03-22
I don't think correlation equals causation here. People will quickly denounce any "numerology" on these events, but it is simply important to remember that every day and each number has a particular significance to any one person.
Yes, 322 is a significant number to Skull & Bones, and yes 9:11 is a significant time/date - but these are not outside the realm of possible coincidence or mere infatuation.
Could there be inspiration behind these correlations? Of course, and my first speculation would be the members of S&B at the higher levels of defense and military industry across the world; this would undeniably be an important date to members. But anybody who would take two matching numbers, by themselves, as definitive proof of conspiracy are making a lofty assumption.
6 know_comment 2016-03-22
Pick a number between one and ten. Chances are, you'll pick 7.
Numerology and ritual magic are very real- even though they sound crazy.
Watch the video from the managing director of the IMF, where she compresses everything into the MAGIC NUMBER 7:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYmViPTndxw
also note that 3/22 (3+2+2) compresses to 7, as does the year: (16= 1+6->7). Today is the 81st day of the year (8-1=7) The 25th is GOOD friday (2+5=7, 3[2+5]->777)- the day jesus was crucified on Calvary/ Golgotha (known in almost all religious texts other than the King James as THE SKULL). 777 in christianity represents the triune god- the antithesis of 666. This good friday is a significant date. I suspect there will be a raid on the 25th resulting in the capture/ death of the remaining terror suspect(s) (Either that or late next thursday 3/31).
You can make anything look like a pattern- sure. But as humans we are prone to recognizing patterns. 7 and 3 are lucky primes. You can call it apophenia, but psychology and magic recognize that people can be manipulated with patterns. Perhaps it's not just a mechanism our brains have divised to make sense of information- perhaps the universe is mathematical in a way science can't yet measure. The occult attempts to recreate natural patterns to manage the inherent chaos.
There being numerological significance in a date doesn't mean that it's a manipulated event, but it IS a ritualistic event whether or not it's manipulated.
1 The_gray_ghost 2016-03-22
So would this mean that praying (basically focusing/concentrating on something) actually causes physical manifestations?
2 know_comment 2016-03-22
I don't know about any of that. Praying (focusing/concentrating) creates/ reenforces will, which propagates action, which causes physical manifestations.
Symbols represents ideas which people have willed to manifest. You might not consciously know what a symbol means, but it's association has still been imprinted on you.
53 Y_Sam 2016-03-22
Salah Abdeslam got arrested mere days ago, and from the look of it he was cooperating with the police.
My bet is on a rushed operation from the remaining terrorists for what could have been a way bigger attack, before the police could make another move on them.
Some of the perpetrators will probably be found in hiding, some of them will be caught at the border leaving europe, and some will successfully escape back to Syria.
Go on and call me a shill or whatever because i don't buy into the numerology/inside job/fake attack bullshit.
22 DrMantisTobogan9784 2016-03-22
so with mass surveillance and having the leader in custody, they still couldnt stop it. hmmm maybe time to stop bs'ing us about how surveillance and airport security is there to stop terrorism
4 RyanLeciejewski 2016-03-22
Have you ever been inside an airport before? The bomb went off near check in, there's no security at check in. And how exactly does the leader being caught stop them from carrying out the plan? All they did was detonate suicide vests, its not some genius plan that required a mastermind.....
1 DrMantisTobogan9784 2016-03-22
The leader was said to be cooperating
1 DrMantisTobogan9784 2016-03-22
Everything you said just made the same point I was making. That mass surveillance isn't about our safety
-1 Y_Sam 2016-03-22
Mass surveillance was instated in France, not Belgium which is commendable as emergency state is bullshit.
Beside, he was not "the leader" he's the alleged driver of the Paris attacks, probably ranking higher than the other douches, from what he confessed yet, he chickened and fled instead of blowing himself up at the stadium.
He most certainly knew many people involved in the attacks, but was not necessarily a part of it, given his high profile.
7 [deleted] 2016-03-22
I agree with this, I was thinking the same thing. They had to do this now or never after his arrest.

(if the NASA's reading i'm all up for it, start sending checks)
More on topic, the belgian investigator have unsurprisingly started reporting ties between Abdeslam and the airport/subway attack's suspects.
I don't know what transpired abroad but the "belgian lead" and especially Molenbeek has been a hot topic for month, being one of the places where terrorists gather from and to Syria and planned attacks in France.
I'm guessing there will be more arrest to come soon, as the family of the killers might be linked to al of this etc...

Not much to show for it on the terrorist front, but there wasn't a pot dealer in Paris who didn't get his door broken...Along with a bunch of perfectly innocent guys with arabic names who also got their appartments trashed for no reason.

Still a win in the long run.
1 theStefmeister 2016-03-22
Yeah, that is what I thought, since the attacks coincide with the arresting of Salah Abdeslam. But it is interesting that you mention the fact that he is cooperating with Police, did this anger the renaming terrorists?
3 nothing_great 2016-03-22
He could also not be saying a word, and they are just bs-ing it to see if they can scare some people or flush them out.
Which this may have made them move up their planned date thinking they were compromised. Plus they may have wanted to wait until a week day yo ensure massive amounts of people are on the subway going to work.
Also if they did catch him and he was cooperating why did they not find anything/anyone yet. Did he just decide to work with them this morning?
2 Y_Sam 2016-03-22
Not necessarily, but it might have forced their hands, as the names he could give would mean impendings arrests and significant progress on the belgian front of the investigation.
1 newharddrive 2016-03-22
This is the correct answer. Their cover was blown or going to be blown soon. They rushed into the operation to get it done before they got taken down when Abdeslam talked.
1 Y_Sam 2016-03-22
Seems to be confirmed by Ibrahim El Bakraoui's testimony found after the attacks.
He claimed he was getting "surrounded" and that he'd soon be next to "him" in jail if he didn't act now.
39 DrSultanPhDD 2016-03-22
On CNN they are trying to reassociate the Paris attacks with encrypted communication, and then link that to the Brussels attacks. Remember, the Paris attackers communicated via unencrypted SMS.
They coming for our encryption. Again.

Yeah, I saw that. I didn't include that in this since I've opted to go with sources about the event that I can reasonably trust. Which of course sounds stupid, but the litmus test I'm using is if it's a report coming directly from Belgium itself, or is from Belgian social media. (IE photos taken from people there.) This way I try to avoid the typical "talking head" problem where you have someone like CNN, or Fox, or whoever trying to spin a story their way.

Some witnesses reported hearing gunfire
4 Kabukikitsune 2016-03-22
I've been checking and it's mostly unconfirmed reports. The two instances I did find seemed to suggest that it had to do with the disposal of the vehicles. Possibly pointing to a weapons cache in them.
9 Kabukikitsune 2016-03-22
Just a side note, why Belgium of all places? I mean, if something like this happened in Germany, France, or hell, even the UK...it'd make sense. Why Belgium? I'd also like to say, Proximus? Nice move there. Help people contact others, while at the same time free publicity. The people won't forget companies that do things like that.
25 lucycohen 2016-03-22
Setting off a false flag by the EU buildings is useful for influencing politics, let's see what they were due to discuss today, ahh yes, the Palestinian peace process
European Parliament Committee Meetings
European Parliament, Brussels
"Palestine: Palestine's Foreign Affairs Minister Riad Al-Malki will join Foreign Affairs Committee Members to debate the political situation there, including the inter-Palestinian reconciliation talks, the economic and humanitarian situation in occupied Palestinian territories, initiatives for re-launching Middle East peace process, and the regional situation."
22 Kabukikitsune 2016-03-22
Possible, but it may not be a false flag. I don't think we should jump to conclusions one way or the other until we have more information, which was partly the idea behind me doing this fact post.
20 Amos_Quito 2016-03-22
First, excellent fact post. Kudos.
Second, you are correct, we shouldn't jump to conclusions - but there IS a question that can and SHOULD be asked by everyone:
WHO STANDS TO BENEFIT, and how?
Obviously, most people will immediately assume that the attacks were coordinated by ISIS or other Jihadist Muslim groups - but to what end? What are they hoping to achieve by doing this?
Like 9-11 and the Paris attacks, the reaction and response from Europe and "The West" - emotional, political, social and military - is fairly predictable - RAIN HELL ON ISIS and Evil Mooselimbs!!!
I'm sure that Muslims worldwide are jumping for joy at the prospect. /s
Of course people will say that "Muslims are stupid and irrational, and don't think things through", but really?
So, are there other parties/political entities that might gain political or other advantages thanks to the VERY predictable reaction and response to these attacks? There have been in the past.
Cui Bono?
13 Plan2Exist18 2016-03-22
Agreed, and thank you for your time on this post. I think that /u/lucycohen's post is less of an indictment of false flag and more of a possible insight into motive.
Those facts, the Parliament meeting and significance of the day, could have meaning to somebody with means to coordinate - doesn't necessarily mean false flag - lest we forget that terrorism's number one goal is often political momentum (and fear).
The sad truth, in response to your comment, is that while more facts and more information are needed to truly dissect this event -- the longer we wait, the more "sludge" clogs up the information pipeline, and often times pertinent facts are lost and buried beneath speculation and narrative.
2 djsumdog 2016-03-22
True and I appreciate the fact post. The thing that bothers me about this, France, 911, etc is that in these sophisticated attacks, there's only one attack.
The point of terrorism, and we see this in the void left in Iraq or the war the US/EU started in Syria by arming/training ISIL/ISIS, is that you keep going. Attack after attack after attack. But we don't see that. Here they conveniently find these other explosives.
I feel like the powers that be might justify these types of events as killing a small amount of people to bring about a better whole. A group wanting to make a meaningful impact via an attack like this, would want to keep going and going, until they run out of people or the security situation changes to prevent future attacks.

I'm saying that it's too early, far too early, to jump to conclusions. As another user noted, a leader in the Paris attack has been captured and was co-operating with authorities. This may just be a case of a cell that feared being exposed and rushed the job.
Personally, if it were a hoax or false flag, I'd expect every single bomb to work. As opposed to only three.

So what was that about when you were meticulously claiming the The Jews are a group, and they work collectively against other groups, and therefore we can hate them?
Also you're welcome to finish your argument from above. Who stands to gain from the Brussels bombing?
Thanks for your concern.
3 Amos_Quito 2016-03-22
Are you asserting that Jews do not see themselves as a group?
Are you asserting that Jews, as a group, do not work cooperatively to further their perceived group interests in competition with other groups?
Did I tell you that it was okay to lie? Because I don't remember telling you that it was okay to lie, /u/unruly_mattress, and frankly, I think your lying in DEAD THREADS where there are no uninformed, gullible lurkers for you to deceive is really bad judgement on your part.
There is no one here - just you and I, u/unruly_mattress, and we BOTH know that you are lying. WTF IS THE POINT?
Is it that you are incapable of not lying? Maybe you suffer from some strange compulsive, pathological condition? Anyway, you should try to resist the urge - or at least SAVE your lies for threads where others that you may be able to deceive are reading.
Friendly advice. :-)

It's 9 data points which I assumed were taken from the ADL website last year. What do you think about it?
2 Amos_Quito 2016-03-22
Every time there is a "terror attack" on "Western" interests (whether actually or allegedly) perpetrated by "Islamic Extremists", it effectively serves the interests of Israel and her Zionist supporters / cheerleaders abroad by creating outrage against Muslims, and by creating a sense of solidarity / sympathy for the Israelis, who are portrayed as "suffering" under a constant barrage of "Islamic terrorism".
That little snippet is just the tip of the iceberg.
1 unruly_mattress 2016-03-22
It might be that humans have a natural, usually constant level of hate they need to maintain. In that model, more hate against Muslims would mean less Jew hatred. What of it? Even if you showed correlation, which you haven't, it would not imply that one is caused by the other.
The political parties that rise because of Muslim hatred in Europe are mostly nationalists. This has never been good for the Jews. Perhaps now the nationalists are busy hating Muslims; I think it's likely that it's only a matter of time before they remember that Jews are hate-worthy. If indeed the Elders of Zion planned to destabilize the West to reduce antisemitism, then they are very very stupid, because this is a very stupid, dangerous and ineffective plan that would likely backfire, had it existed.
I'd like to hear more about the logistics of this. How does it work? Do Belgium and France not notice that the people attacking them are Mossad agents? No one notices except for people who look for minor differences in different news reports and invariably decide it's the Global Zionist Cabal's fault? Or maybe Belgium does know it's attacked by the Jews but can't do anything about it? Do tell.
2 Amos_Quito 2016-03-22
As the saying goes, "Patience is a virtue". This is not a one-line sound bite issue, so it may be challenging to the ADD impaired.
In the meantime, why don't you consult your betters and see whether, WORKING TOGETHER, you can formulate an argument that might tend to support the THEORY that Mooselimbs PLANNED and pulled off these hits - enumerating the "benefits" that they may have EXPECTED to enjoy as a fruit of their (suicidal) efforts.
That'll save you time down the line.
1 unruly_mattress 2016-03-22
That's the thing right there. I don't think there's a thing as The Muslims that attempt to work for the Greater Good of the Global Muslim Conspiracy, because I recognize that people are individuals who form complex relationships with each other and work each on their own motives. I don't try to divide the world into The Jews, The Muslims, The Satanic Elite etc the way other people do. This lets me, in my humble opinion, hold a less coarse, more fine-grained model of the world in my head. I don't need to decide whether it's The Jews or The Muslims. I don't need a group of a dozen Muslim terrorists to work for the greater good of The Muslims. It might be that several Muslims hold different views about what constitutes a benefit and what doesn't.
What drives terrorism - that's a difficult question to answer. I can't give you an answer right now. An answer to that question will be complex. There is obviously more than one type of terrorism, and likely more than one type of terrorist, and quite possibly more than one type of Islamic terrorist, working for possibly different agenda. I'm sure books have been written on the subject; Google shows up several interviews with current and ex- Muslim terrorists. If I had unlimited time, I'd listen to them and try to form an opinion as to what they think they'd be getting out of their actions.
Of course, they might not be getting what they think they'd be getting. I think people pretty often act irrationally. I'm sure you'd agree here. If they think they're in for 72 virgins and furthering the coming of the Mahdi, then of course I personally disagree but it might still be what they're working towards. And I don't need The Muslims need to agree with them about that; it doesn't require many people to perform terror attacks.
tl;dr? I don't have an answer. But to show that Islamic Terrorism doesn't exist you'd have to show that no Muslims think terrorism is a good idea. Is that your line of attack?
18 Tunderbar1 2016-03-22
I think that these attacks will systematically hit every western country and in every country in turn will pass "anti-terrorism" laws that will put more and more power into the hands of fewer and fewer people, and justify the militarization of the govt and police, and limit personal freedoms more and more.
The goal is an incremental and methodical encroachment on personal freedoms.
14 hurtsdonut_ 2016-03-22
It happened in Brussels because that is where they arrested the Paris shooter last week. Then they told the media he was talking. Which I believe caused his buddies to panic and do the operation early, but hey if you want to believe it's a false flag.

At the same time, the explosion in the metro station went off Maalbeek, the station just before Schuman; where probably 90% of the people working at the parliament or the commission go off. They didn't have the guts to attack the parliament itself. It's disgusting.

3 Amos_Quito 2016-03-22
The logical place for who to do it?
I have no doubt that the suicide bombers were Jihadist morons (who else would put on a suicide vest?), but those that planned and coordinated the attacks were not necessarily Jihadists - though I'm sure that the suicide bombers thought they were.
The reaction to these kinds of attacks is VERY predictable. What do those that planned the attacks hope to gain politically?

Who is effectively benefiting from the actions of ISIS, and the chaos that it creates?
Cui bono?
2 captain_teeth33 2016-03-22
ISIS spawned by US in Iraq to counterbalance Shia as an 'exit strategy'
Saudi Arabia interests along with Turkey benefit, also Qatar and Yemen indirectly. The French want their Templar castles back from Assad, and the evangelists want their end time destruction of Damascus so they can have their messiah back.

2 spasticbadger 2016-03-22
Of course the bombers are brainwashed idiots but they would have been instructed by someone who has a modicum of intelligence. What do they gain politically? That depends on who was instructing them. If it was ISIS then I cannot see them gaining anything aside from spreading fear and chaos.
2 Amos_Quito 2016-03-22
Agreed, that's why I'm having trouble envisioning ISIS (or any similar Muslim group) as the "planning party" here, as the predictable reactions will all be negative for Muslims in general and Jihadists in particular.

Belgium has a fairly significant black market for arms from what I've read and fairly free access to Western/Northern Europe. The cell could have been based there and been planning either this attack as a shot at the EU.
Also possible it was a rushed job. One of the ringleaders behind the Paris attack was arrested in the past week and was said to be cooperating. With what sounds like a number of failed devices they could have moved up a planned attack to get it off before authorities could get enough information to bust their cell.
3 Kabukikitsune 2016-03-22
That's possible. The sheer number of unexploded devices does make me think that they rushed out what they had, and only a few of the explosives managed to actually detonate. If we say, conservatively speaking, half of the bombs managed to detonate (as opposed to the 3 known now), then it's reasonable to say that it would have brought Belgium, and much of the EU to its knees. The presence of an unexploded suicide belt at the airport does point to some part of a cell being out there still alive.

All you people do on /r/conspiracy is take any attack, whatever attack it is, doesn't matter, and you sit there and you pick apart the story before ANYONE has all the answers and call it a hoax. You think that because a reporter got a piece of information wrong, it means that someone is hiding something and its a hoax. Give me a break, if you have ACTUAL evidence behind why you think something is a conspiracy by all means, post it and I'll probably agree with you if its convincing enough. But its VERY sad at this point that people like that "daddie_o" person are taken seriously with such weak ass "evidence" and tries to pass it off like its irrefutable.

There is no such thing as coincidence when it comes to malevolent things like this, its all planed by secret societies to push their agenda and it will only get worse it seems... if clues in movies, tv show, ads or anywhere to be honest that are hidden in the plain sight are to be take serious then in April there might be another plan in motion, i bet it will have something to do with Syria peace talks or economy.
The World is going down hill fast but we must find REAL solution for REAL problem and not fall for these indoctrinating, fear driven, divide and conquer tactics ! I mean we all live on this beautiful planet, why waste it and our time on it with such petty things when we can aim for a much, MUCH more Magnificent Objectives. Some say nothing will change and nobody will do anything to make this World a better place, not until it directly affects them or some MAJOR event happens... i think its much simpler then that, all it will take is for an individual to realize and come to an understanding that this is not the World they want to live in but to create a better future for them selves and their children, deep down "almost" (some are just hardwired for evil i guess but it goes both ways, balance is everything) every single person on this planet knows what the Right thing is... the problem here is majority simply makes a choice not to or they are simply being manipulated.
Nobody can really say what tomorrow brings with certainty, all of this can change over night for better or worse, those that have real power "the People" can make this all go away if only they would do one simple thing... do good, be good and the World will follow.
Love, balance, knowledge and understanding to all.

3 Cossack340 2016-03-22
Hello, my first Reddit post ever, literally made this account so I could post!
Now before I go for the conspiracy side; I'm gonna take it at face value.
We (The west and the US) have been bombing the middle east for the best part of twenty years.
Look at how people have reacted to the terrorist attacks in Paris, false flag or not, riled up people's reactions against Islam and Muslim people. Now, we could see why groups of people Mujahadeen, Al-kahida, IS/ISIS/ISIL, whatever they call themselves now; would bother to attack the West, they may be run by different people, they may be funded in different ways. We're bombing the shit out of their homes, and their lives, their shops and streets and schools and hospitals.
So. Actually. ALTHOUGH I DON'T CONDONE OR ADVOCATE VIOLENCE I completely understand why they'd want to be RETALIATING attacking Europe / UK / US / Russia.
The question I'd be asking has been asked already in this thread. - With all the mass surveillance, data trawling, encryption breaking, captured leaders.
How did security services not catch this? Maybe the government and security services did. They just chose to do nothing about it. Maybe the terrorist cell; when they realised that their leader was caught and talking; moved up the timetable to get ahead of the security services. Another person on the thread had also commented a number of american politicians had passed through the airport that morning; perhaps the terrorists were just hoping to get lucky?
So for the conspiracy side.
Brussels today; Palestine peace talks; Brussels is THE heart of the European Union; if I was a terrorist and I wanted to make a propaganda coup; regardless of my sponsors; that's what I'd do, Paris, Brussels, even so far back as 7/7, London. Capital cities the hearts of most countries cultures and some of the most densely populated cities on earth, disrupting peace talks....makes sense for whatever government around the world is supporting ISIS.
It also leads into a number of other arguments; there is the encryption argument which is sure to be linked.
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160322/11200133982/before-we-even-know-details-politicians-rush-to-blame-encryption-brussels-attacks.shtml
Stripping of the right to privacy and higher levels of the police state; cameras; increased militarization of the police services and increased military presences. Ensuring that the UK doesn't leave the EU; "Strength Through Unity; Unity through faith." Making sure that the UK stays in to push through TTP? (Or whichever variant is for the EU and the UK) so that the corporatocracy is extended as much as possible across all states?
Anyway, I could talk more but I'd not like to bore you all too much;
Thanks for reading!

First thing I do when I hear news about a terrorist attack or suspicious disaster is check the date. Is there any sort of occult numerology behind the numbers in the date?
Hmmmm 3/22...is that not the number directly below the Skull & Bones logo?
By golly, it is. It didn't take long for me to realize that Friday, November 13th was a significant date either. Regardless of whether or not it's a hoax, a false flag, or a completely real ISIS attack, since ISIS is more or less a proxy army of western forces, it's still technically a false flag. The world is just crazy.

2 slim_ironwood 2016-03-22
I was mistaken in thinking November was the month, but it was actually October, Friday the 13th, 1307, when the knights templar were rounded up in Paris and ultimately arrested, disbanded, tortured, and executed after being coerced into confessing to all sorts of crimes. So, not the exact same date, but a Friday the 13th in the same place all that went down, there's very much a connection.

Surprised this is the first mention of it being staged I've found here, it certainly seems to be to me based on past events. Every real bombing I know of even with smaller numbers of victims was verifiable straight away by both the explosion and injuries that can't be faked with a little bit of blood. I have only seen about 5 injured so far and there is meant to be over 200. People think it's the media censoring the gory stuff but everyone carries cameras these days so we should have seen something that seemed legit.
1 Kabukikitsune 2016-03-22
3 confirmed Mormons (seriously injured), about 200 (rough estimate) injured, most at the train station.* and 30 total dead.
*The majority at the train station is sensible, due to the fact that the bomb was detonated inside a closed train car. The bombs are reported as being shrapnel/nail bombs, and not pure explosives. The reason I make note of the mormons is due to their religion being very conspiracy belief heavy. Their bible and church requires them to be 'preppers' to use a term.

This thread needs an update, because they've named the participants. This gets a bit weird. This post is going to be all over the place, because I'm just trying to make heads or tails of this situation and am basically copypasting info. I don't have time to do a thorough analysis now.
Nov 13, 2015: Paris Attacks:
Abdelhamid Abaaoud hides in St. Denis and Salah Abdeslam escapes to Belgium (even being pulled over by police but distracting them by smoking pot...).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks
Nov 18, 2015: Saint Denis Raid. Abaaooud suicide bombs himself in police raid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Saint-Denis_raid
March 15th: Police in Brussels raid house rented by under a false name. Two suspects escape via rooftop. Four officers injured in shootout. One suspect- Mohamed Belkaid, a 35-year-old Algerian citizen is killed shooting at police with an automatic rifle and shotgun. Scene linked to Salah Abdeslam by a fingerprint on a glass. Two brothers and Abdeslam now on the run.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_police_raids
http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/32616/Terreurdreiging-in-Belgie/article/detail/2649642/2016/03/17/Federaal-parket-bevestigt-betrokkenheid-broers-El-Bakraoui-niet.dhtml
This article claims on March 16th that the 2 brothers were detained after fleeing the raided home:
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/652985/Paris-attacks-terrorist-suspects-arrested-Brussels-police-raid
March 18th: Police raid house due to a large pizza order... Abdeslam shot in leg and taken into custody along with several others.
In addition to the brothers, police announce that they are searching for Najim Laachraoui, 24, a Belgian citizen, and Mohamed Abrini, 31, who was recorded by a surveillance video camera with Mr. Abdeslam two days before the Paris attacks. Laachraoui is connected via photographs and DNA with Abdeslam.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/22/world/europe/paris-attacks-accomplice-najim-laachraoui.html?_r=0
If this guy is the "Chief bombmaker", why is he at the scene of the most recent attack?
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/brussels-attacks-live-updates-airport-suspect-is-isis-chief-bomb-maker-a6947476.html
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/belgium/12194789/Brussels-police-shot-at-during-raid-linked-to-Paris-attacks.html
SO now all of these guys (some of whom have been dead since november) have DNA in this apartment.
And there's one more loose end- Laachraoui
Some are claiming he was arrested...
http://news.yahoo.com/brussels-airport-suspect-najim-laachraoui-arrested-belgian-media-104400309.html
Some are claiming he was killed... Saying that he was one of the two who died at the airport- the other brother being the one at the train station. The third "unidentified" person from the airport is still being sought.
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/brussels-attacks/suspected-paris-bomb-maker-najim-laachraoui-died-brussels-airport-attack-n544511
http://www.ktvq.com/story/31524145/manhunt-launched-for-newly-identified-paris-attacks-suspect-najim-laachraoui
It's interesting that all of these guys were known and being publicly investigated for their connection with the Paris attacks. The brothers who were supposedly the suicide bombers were known criminals and would have been watched closely by the justice system and intelligence services.
edit:
according to this report, one of the brothers was deported from Turkey to the Netherlands, and Turkey claims that they warned Belgium that he was a suspected foreign fighter.
the article also claims:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2016/mar/23/brussels-attacks-police-search-airport-bomb-suspect-live
A fifth suspect appears to be "Soufiane Kayal", who was traveling with Abdeslam (arrested on the 18th) and Mohamed Belkaïd (killed on the 15th raid on the brother's apartment).

In so far as they are preppers and for many other reasons, they are very forward thinkers.
2 Kabukikitsune 2016-03-22
Yeah, but I've been stuck in Utah for some time, and I can honestly say that the prepper thing is a bit weird, but when I was saying 'forward thinkers' I meant more that they wouldn't be likely to take part in something like that unless it stood to help the church itself. (Which that type of situation wouldn't do.) They are very insular and tend not to act too far outside church interests. In his case, I'd say it's just a case of him being at the wrong place at the wrong time, twice in a row.
Edit: To explain. The prepper thing is weird, because apparently the Mormon bible instructs them to prepare for the end of days. They take it literally. It's thought to originate back from the founding of their church where the US government effectively drove them out of Illinois. They seem to expect that it'll happen again sometime in the future. There is something of a rather nice side to it though. Every year or so they rotate their stockpiles. So everything that they've held onto is donated to the homeless.

Look at what the FBI and CIA did SEVERAL times here in the US. Find a mosque or something, send in someone undercover, have him do everything he can to convince the other people to commit a terrorist act with him, provide the money, the gear, anything he needs. Arrest everyone, including your undercover. "TERRORIST PLOT IN NYC FOILED THANKS TO THE FBI" says the headline.

1 notCharlie0115 2016-03-22
As brildenlanch said, the FBI searches for potential patsies. The FBI has informers who pose as someone who is a member of a terrorist group. These informers (who are usually convicted felons who get leniency for performing this role) influence the potential patsy, probably someone quite vulnerable, or at odds with society, and it goes from there.

Well, either one. In this instance it'd be 'people who believed they were fighting for their religion, for God'. And that narrative is played over basically in ever instance you can think of. The other dude is saying they're patsies because they were given a bomb, told to detonate, then the person who sent them off is still around.

The crusades were to defend, gain back their land, and a little bit of retribution so that is a poor analogy. It was a war, not terrorism. Do you know the percentages of muslims thst approve of jihadi terrorism? You'd be shocked. Even moderates stand by and approve, or at least watch as it occurs while doing nothing. I'll try to find an infograph for you. It's shocking.
You've already lost, especially by the unnecessary ad hom at the end; it shows the weakness of your argument and that of your character.

Ah yes the ole "Department of Defense" argument. Let me defend myself by slapping you in the head. You've been convinced by the word "defense," damn. You really fell for that? Israel is just defending itself against Palestinian children right? lmfao.
You're sitting here, a bonafide bigot, who watched a million Iraqis killed by America, and you have audacity to say other people stand by and do nothing?
No ten things that has happened to America in the last 50 years can add up to the number of bodies they have created in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and a ton of other places.
Stand by buddy with your hands in your pockets. Your side are the heroes cause your tv said so.
-4 CantStopWhitey 2016-03-22
You clearly know nothing about the crusades other than what movies and reddit has taught you, so the point's null. But, I agree, fuck Isreal.
Ad hom again. Argument invalidated.
So what?
Again, irrelevant. You're all over the place because you've no real argument. You're just throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping some will stick.

Treating a human being any different than you'd treat yourself, based on race, gender (in this case), intelligence, ect is barbaric thinking, no if's, and's, or but's.
We're all humans, we bleed the same, we die the same, regardless of any of the factors our society pushes to diversify us further.
The fact you said "Damn those feminists" proves the other poster's point.
When it comes to "But it should be their free right to practice these laws and traditions in their household." while to a degree you are correct, but when that practice promotes and preaches superiority difference between humans, that's when the line has been crossed.
Do you really think any of these wives and women under this practice, if were shown a different lifestyle (Before being conditioned), would really choose Sharia Law over anything else?
2 ruleten 2016-03-22
Feminsm is allegedly a movement based on equality, but is actually a movement based on female superiority.
That is why I mock it. I am not the one who is guilty of being a supremacist. Many of them are essentially extremists, and once again make up a very small % of what people actually legitimately believe. It's easy to be a feminist sitting at home in your parent's house posting on tumblr.
1 Slanderson77 2016-03-22
We aren't talking about Feminism. I don't care whether or not there's extremists in a group, there always will be those who take an original message or idea and corrupt it.
What I'm talking about is the fact that Sharia law is barbaric, is stems from a religion, preaches superiority amongst men and believers, and has been turned into an enforced law by a government of which our good country 'Murica is strong allies with.
You don't have to be enemies to prove a point, there is such a thing as being a neutral country with other countries because you don't believe in their ethics/laws/beliefs/ect. The way I see it, America continuing their support, imports, exporting, and financial backing of Saudi Arabia is a statement that we as a country either lack empathy, or approve oppression as long as we are gaining something from it.
2 ruleten 2016-03-22
I entirely agree. Kind of like the war port called Israel and all of the donations it receives.
The issue with calling Sharia Law barbaric is that United States is equally as guilty of human rights violations.
It is barbaric to have more people imprisoned than anywhere else on earth.
It is, I agree, barbaric to issue the death penalty. But guess what, in America capital punishment is still legal.
Many of the things Western society accuses the Middle East of, we are far more guilty of ourselves.
Sharia Law is barbaric. Meanwhile America is bombing Doctors Without Borders hospitals.
Tell me, is Obama executive ordering a drone strike on Muslim children who are unarmed barbaric?

It's all about perspective. In western society we learn the crusades were justified just like the colonization of America, but that doesn't mean that what you were told is any more correct than what the opposition thinks. You make it seem like the west hasn't done anything to provoke these actions. We sure as hell never (directly or indirectly) supported terrorism /s. Neither side is completely in the right since both have done a lot of wrong. Moral correctness has nothing to do with it. The ones who are "right" are the last ones standing since they are the ones who will write the history books. Just keep in mind, we kill an awful lot more of them than they kill of us. And I'm talking about innocent civilians, woman and children. Unless, of course, you assume they're all guilty by association. In which case - fuck'em, 'merka.

Do you know the percentages? Can you even be accurate after asking 100 Muslims? Our perhaps even 1000? Where was the survey done and how many Muslims did they ask? Was the survey conducted by a neutral party?

(I know you're going to try to find some way to brush it all off, but it's a pew poll and they know what they're doing. So none of that "not enough samples", "not all samples are properly distributed", and so forth. This is one of the most reputable polling sources in the world.)

I have yet to meet a single redditor who hasn't, so it's a fair assumption. They all can't deal with the implications of tge infograph, or of the findings in the document itself, and either attack my character (calling me names) or come up with some lame reason as to how facts are wrong because it hurts their worldview. Nothing would make me more happy for someone to just accept the fact that muslims think in such grotesque ways when compared to the values held today in the West.
1 notCharlie0115 2016-03-22
I've just seen your original comment with the link. Sorry, I didn't see it previously because it is in a different list of this comment section according to my phone. Anyway, I'll have a look.
1 notCharlie0115 2016-03-22
Ok, after reading it (not the whole thing because I don't have time), I'm not going to dispute the results the survey provides. Obviously, they spent a lot of time on it. Having said that, it is just a survey of 38 people for every 1.62 million. For that, you cannot just show the results as a percentage of all Muslims worldwide. This is why I don't like these surveys. It is impossible to get a worldwide view when only 0.0000023% have been surveyed. That's why I don't believe in surveys. They could have surveyed a different 38000 people and got completely different results. Let's get onto this "jihadi terrorism", which I assuming you mean support for suicide bombing. The results show that in Malaysia, 18% support suicide bombing. However, 92% in Malaysia believe that the very act of suicide is morally wrong in all circumstances (otherwise, 10% of them would have ticked the "depends on the situation" box) - this shows either a flaw in statistics, or some people just don't know what they believe. Another one is the Sharia Law stuff and the "law of the land". Yes, all those people believe that that Sharia Law should be the law of the land. But hang on a minute; they are in their own land. They are not living in another land. They would more probably think differently if they were living in a Western country, but the questions do not relate to that, so the argument to me is invalid. Which means the Islam by stealth "Conspiracy Theory" is invalid. You see, when you start asking US or in my case AUS citizens who are also Muslims the very same question. I can guarantee you will get different results. They will say that their first obligation is to abide by the law of the land. Meaning the current law system in place. I hardly see anyone trying to change that.
1 CantStopWhitey 2016-03-22
Soory, on mobile. Your Malaysia example can be countered easily by a country that believes by 96%. Cherry picking.
Look up al-taqyia (spelling). It is the encouragement to lie to infidels for furthering any goals of Islam. This is something they do not talk about but it is a well-held belief amongst nearly all Muslims. I wish I could remember where I saw some articles and quite a few videos exposing their leaders in the act.
As far as your suggestion that they would follow the law of tge land? They will do so as far as avoiding going to jail but they almost never assimilate. I could give many instances but you're likely to call them anecdotal, which they might be, in a way.
You're not looking long term in terms of law of the land, either. They outbreed current citizens in the west by literally 6-7 to one. This is factual. What do you think will happen in one to two generations when they have a significant voting block? Sharia law will indeed be increasing imposed upon the masses step by step. All efforts toward racial equality, sexual equality, LGBT rights will become undone.
1 notCharlie0115 2016-03-22
Believes what by 96%? That's not a counter. You didn't even make sense. Cherry picking? Of course I picked it out. It stood out like a sore thumb! So now you're saying that the results are completely flawed because they are all lying to us anyway to further their goals of ruling the world. I googled it - only came up with Islamophobic websites - didn't bother going any further. Almost never assimilate? Where do you actually get this info from? More Far right-wing websites? Look, honestly please don't bother to reply because you've just been found out. You are a far right-wing Islamophob that is so worried about losing his whiteness, it's starting to become extreme. Just watch out that you don't kill/hurt someone with that paranoia of yours. We have another form of extremism on our hands now, and it worries me. Another divide and conquer tactic perhaps. More division, easier for TPTB to manage.

It basically lets you mark your profile saying you are safe, basically easier and more noticeable than responding to multiple "are you ok?" messages. Its not about going to any specific location.
1 brildenlanch 2016-03-22
Ah okay, thanks for clarifying
2 Kabukikitsune 2016-03-22
It's actually a rather interesting feature. Facebook started it a couple years back after the Virginia Tech shooting. (Or as a result of it I suppose). Basically, it's a status update. So, if a person is in a safe location, say out of the city, they can log into facebook and quickly tick that status. That way their family can quickly check facebook and see the "Safe" mark on their page. It's an easy way to see if someone is in no danger, without having to clog phone lines and trying to contact them.

As brildenlanch said, the FBI searches for potential patsies. The FBI has informers who pose as someone who is a member of a terrorist group. These informers (who are usually convicted felons who get leniency for performing this role) influence the potential patsy, probably someone quite vulnerable, or at odds with society, and it goes from there.
