-Caveat Lector-
The really odd thing about this is the refusal of the media and officials
to call the sniper(s) terrorists.
The very definition of a terrorist is one who intentionally creates terror.
When it involves killings (assassinations) there are two kinds of terrorism
differing in intent and the targets chosen. The clue to the intent may be in the
targets chosen.
One kind of terrorism is by the government itself. The intent is to
persuade the populace that opposition is dangerous and futile. In these cases
the targets chosen would be those known to be in opposition to the government or
not actively supporting it. This is the kind of terror Lenin unleashed in the
Soviet Union after the Bolshevik hijacking of the Russian revolution.
The second brand of terrorism is aimed at toppling the existing government.
The killings are necessarily random and have two hoped for effects.
The first is to force the government to institute increasingly
repressive measures in an attempt to provide "security" to the populace.
The second is to alienate the population from its government because of the
repression and the perception that the current government is not capabale of
protecting them. Eventually this leads to the overthrow of the existing
government by the (clandestine) terrorists who promise security without the
repression.
Of course there is a gray area between the two kinds of terrorism. The
government could be sponsoring the terrorism to justify more repressive measures
which consolidate its control. In this case the terrorism would be random but
would cease at some point before the resentment reached critical mass.
No doubt the current terrorism will be used to push for disarmament of the
civilian population. That is a necessity for complete government control and to
make a mis-judgment by the government of the point of critical mass less
likely to result in a successful revolution.
It is not yet clear where the current killings by the
sniper(s) fit into the spectrum of terrorism.

Subject: [CTRL] SNIPER Dont you get this feeling that
this sniper attacking Maryland and surrounding areas is a little
surreal.
We havent had a lot of news on it
here but from what I gather the reason they say they have not captured this man
is because he uses a high velocity long range gun.
Surely this is a nonsense! These
sort of guns hav been used before in assasinations and mass shootings and they
have always caught the perpertrator even though we know the person captured is
either mind controlled or innocent.
Why is this so
different?
We were treated to a duo report
today one on what is happening out there and i could feel the fear of the
people,and two a piece on sniper clubs and their popularity out
there.
Which leads us to question is
this a test in fear and reaction of the public to such a crime thereby whipping
up an anti gun feeling so as to stop this popular sniper club
following?
When We had this shooting in
dunblaine in Scotland there was no discussion with gun clubs they just went
ahead and banned handguns which further fuelled the black market for more
business.If someone wants a gun badly enough they will find it in my opinion and
this knee jerk reaction of the british government has to be seen as an outright
intimidation of people rights.
An unarmed public is a public at
the mercy of the power brokers.We cannot defend ourselves in a crisis and that I
believe is the key to this.
The British people put up and
shut up but the american citizens who have held guns for years to protect
themselves may not give in so easily. So is this sniper situation being
theatrically staged to bring fear to America and a way of forcing the people to
vote guns out.
After all what are a few dead
people in comparison to 9/11!
If they can do this to thousands
of their own people in 9/11 then this is just fun in a candy
shop!
