Pixelated Semantics

A schizotypical inventory

Meet the new enemy, same as the old enemy

Not being given coverage is a new terror bombing campaign in Northern Ireland - by the extremist conservative "Nationalists" or "Loyalists", not the recently disarmed IRA: the Republicans appear to be the targets, not perpetrators, despite the headline "Nationalist concern at terror campaign" (which leads readers to routinely think Nationalists are the targets.)

Almost as noticeable as the silence accompanying those 3 Irish bombings, is the air of desperation around recent propaganda attempts to blame Jihad on communism, utterly overlooking the role of western security services in growing insurgency out of Islam to fight communism in Afghanistan. Despite a veneer of articles appearing well-researched, there is invariably no mention of the facts of the well-documented American impetus to support (even originate) right-wing and Islamic "terror" groups through the 70's to the 90's, and probably beyond. Articles such as this (from Outlook India) are quite clear:

"The intelligence agencies of the US, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan used the madrasas for radicalising the Muslim youth and motivating them to join the Afghan Mujahideen in their jihad against the Soviet troops. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) got a number of text books prepared with the help of Wahabi clerics of Saudi Arabia projecting Communism as anti-Islam and calling for jihad against the Communist evil in Afghanistan, had them printed in printing presses in the US and distributed to the madrasas."

The article goes on to quote a Professor of political science at the Stockholm University:

"The joint CIA-Saudi initiative resulted in a proliferation of madrasas, regardless of the genuine need for [them]. Thanks to the CIA's 51 million US dollar grant to the University of Nebraska to produce pictorial textbooks glorifying jihad, killing, maiming and bombing other human beings was made sufficiently entertaining. Sadism could now be cultivated as a virtue."

Indeed, there is a great deal more on the subject to be easily found, though it seems in the interests of creating ideological enemies such information is mysteriously overlooked.
