Thread by @HaroldWren22

Let’s have a discussion about terrorism.

A thread. 🧵 🪡 First, what is terrorism? It seems like a simple question. We all know it when we see it; but different groups have differing opinions on what it is & who is a terrorist.

All you have to do is perform a simple web search of ‘terrorism definition’ & you’ll see that. Here’s what i found but many of these omit key parts of what terrorism is, & miss its broad scope.

The best definition I’ve seen is that of Encyclopedia Britannica:

britannica.com/topic/terrorism

Terrorism is the *calculated* use of violence to induce FEAR in a population; the intent of that FEAR is to compel/coerce the *target* population to &/or think what the terrorists committing the violence wants.

There are Baskin Robbins 31 flavors of terrorism & then some. Literally hundreds if not thousands of groups & splinter groups/offshoots.

The motives for people to engage in terrorism or form groups that engage in terrorism vary widely. From economic/political, to racism, to religious, to nationalist.

For example, antifa, ACAB, BLM, Black Black are rooted in Communist Revolutionary motives; their entire reason for being & actions are designed to destabilize western countries with the intent to cause societal, economic & governmental collapse & install communism.

Others like Islamic terrorist groups, such as Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, ISIS, the Provisional Irish Republican Army & others have at their core religious motivations. They view the world through their religious filters & ‘others’ are the *target* population.

However there is overlap. Its well known that groups like Black September, the PLO, & many others were created, stood up & trained by none other than the KGB as a tool to destabilize the West. Along w/ their ideological peers in Antifa, CP USA & other aligned splinter groups.

The overlap & mutual aid has been well documented over time, and a great resource on the ‘Red -Green Alliance’ is this book which details past & present:

The political/economic groups of the 70’s & 80’s are gone, like Baader-Meinhof, Red Army Faction, Red Brigade, but other groups like Antifa, ACAB, CPUSA are still filling that niche today.

The overlap is there & can be seen if you know what to look for; examples include the same antifa, BLM & ACAB terror cells & organization structure committing intimidation marches & take overs in cities & campuses in ‘solidarity’ w/ hamas.

And ACAB & Antifa in support of BLM in the 2020 riots. BLM is known to have Communist roots as well; the overlap isn’t just ideological— many of the individuals involved in one terror org also participate in others adjacent.

The racist terror orgs like the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Brotherhood, BLM, etc have racism at their core but seek political power, relevance & CONTROL.

When the Weimar Republic failed in Germany due to economic collapse brought on by unpayable war reparations from WWI, the German Workers Natl Socialist party used its ‘brown shirts’ engaging in widespread violence & terrorism to compel people to elect them to power.

This succession of events led to the birth of the Third Reich & the National Socialists, the Nazis, created one of the most Evil, destructive dictatorships **and societies** ever seen.

On the same **left** side of the **socialist** spectrum is antifa; a group born from the Bolshevik Marxist ideology as documented by @JackPosobiec. Vladimir Lenin in the closing months of WWI led them to the violent overthrow of the Russian monarchy & founding of the USSR.

@JackPosobiec The Evil & criminal abusive nature of the USSR needs no explanation; it later birthed a whole plethora of dangerous groups sowed across the world.

@JackPosobiec These are two examples of terrorists successfully using violence to target a population & use fear & coercion to seize power.

@JackPosobiec Hamas had as its goal the use of violence & fear to undo the founding of the nation of Israel & exterminate its population— a political, religious & racist end goal (overlap).

@JackPosobiec Hezbollah has a similar goal. Al Qaeda & ISIS are more broad & seek the subjugation of the world to taliban style islam.

They all share some commonalities:
1. Rooted in megalomaniacal control fetish
2. Need to use violence to achieve goals
3. Prone to crimes against humanity.

@JackPosobiec 4. Indiscriminate: will target combatants & non-combatants alike depending on circumstance, effects & PR.
5. Prone to escalation/inability to de-escalate.
6. Recruit/radicalize from across all walks of life but need certain psych traits for successful recruits.

@JackPosobiec The type of people who make up these orgs range from loaners like Tim McVeigh & Ted Kaczynski to people who feel a need to belong- all in search of a cause as outlet for rage.

@JackPosobiec Cult like behavior to create group dynamic, & maintain loyalty is core element; sociopathy is standard. Think of the group dynamic necessary & sociopathy necessary to carry out Oct 7.

@JackPosobiec The past several years have seen something incredible happen though, & Israel gets the credit for much of it:

@JackPosobiec The death’s & destruction of some of most deadly & dangerous groups:
1. Death of OBL & Ayman Al-Zawahiri & sons, orgs.
2. Death of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi presaging end of AQ.
3. Death of Imad Mugniyeh
4. Death of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi & destruction of ISIS.
5. Death of Q Soleimani

@JackPosobiec 6. Death of Ismael Haniyeh & near complete ongoing eradication of hamas
7. Death of Hasan Nasrallah, the destruction of Hezbollah leadership & the ongoing destruction of Hezbollah.

@JackPosobiec There is still much to do. The free reign & unfettered recruitment, funding, & operations of economic/political terrorist orgs & their infrastructure in the West is an existential threat to America & the West & must addressed.

@JackPosobiec The incestuous relationship of the Democrat party with these economic/political terrorist orgs in the same vein as Lenin & Hitler in their respective countries is a real threat to America today.

@JackPosobiec The tacit approval of their acts of terror, intimidation & recruitment/funding by State Security Organs of US Government like the FBI, DHS, DOJ mirrors that of the KGB & USSR on many levels & is a clear & present danger right here. Especially given @SuspendablesUSA disclosures..

@JackPosobiec @SuspendablesUSA ..about FBI & DOJ targeting of Americans of political & religious beliefs disfavored by Democrats, & leftwing terror orgs like antifa & blm & cpusa cannot be ignored & must be addressed.

@JackPosobiec @SuspendablesUSA Many of you know my life has personally experienced the horror of terrorism, witnessing the murder of someone i love by Al Qaeda; i choose to celebrate the victories discussed above while continuing to inform of the ongoing dangers terrorism poses to us all.

@JackPosobiec @SuspendablesUSA Terrorism by individuals, groups, & governments— against chosen target populations to achieve their goals.

Share this thread, help me educate as many as possible, because we still have much work to do.
