A terrorism threat is quite real, only the perpetrators of potential acts of terrorism aren´t the ones your politians warn you about.
“The powers that be” are desperately trying to get support for their endless war-mongering.
If it hadn´t been for the 9/11 truth-movement there would have been many 9/11s, or Bali-bombings for you Australians, by now. But I think those war-against-terrorism-terror-planners aren´t so sure any more that they will get away with the crap again.
The truth will indeed set us free, free from the power of those man-hating, mass-murdering crazies.

Cheers.

DavidG.: Mark, our ‘education system’ guarantees that most people can’t think so they’re incapable of thinking their way through any problem.
Education is based upon rote learning in the main and relies on the teacher/professor being an authority figure and the holder of all information and knowledge. Nothing could be further from the truth!Your observation that religion is wired into our brains from an early age, sadly, is true. To indoctrinate gullible children in this way is criminal.

Though we are quite boring overall as a species with consciousness and a multitude of choices and access top resources, when it comes to conflict resolution.

DavidG.: Mark, the ‘kill them before they kill us’ philosophy has kept the world involved in constant war for thousands of years and it shows no sign of diminishing.This proves to me that we are not evolving as a species but are locked into a barbaric time warp, one that makes a few folk very rich and keeps the divisive fraud that is religion thriving!

Couldn’t agree more, David.

Our civilisation is finished unless we can ditch religion but I can’t see how it’s possible because religion is wired into our heads from an early age. We can’t evolve further unless we can recognise that religion (and the multitude of hatreds it releases) is nothing more than primitive, irrational superstition.

People seem happier to live their lives in fear rather than think the issue through.

Even so, it’s hard to be made a patsy in one’s own house. If Lee Harvey Oswald had stayed home on November 22nd 1963, he might be crooning over his grandchildren these days.

Of course, there’s not much we can do to stop real ‘Terrorist’, insofar as they exist. Like witches, they’re an elusive bunch. I’m not too Terrified of them.

The people who truly Terrify me are the folk whose Terrifying Terror attacks are followed up by no coronial inquiry, no inquest, often no trial and never an honest public inquiry.

It’s amazing that ‘Al Qaida’ – or a ‘lone nut’ such as Martin Bryant – can pull off that kind of stunt. How do they shut down the normal investigative and judicial process in a society such as Australia?

How is it that more than 30 years after the Sydney Hilton bombings, the ‘Terrorists’ who terrorized another Heads of State meeting have still managed to avoid detection? How is it they managed to avoid a public inquiry to boot?

It Terrifies hell out of me to imagine how they manage it.
