I mean they picked Glasgow airport. If only they had picked Glasgow Prestwick, most people would stood around and cheered. Christ what a dump.

Do you fly RyanAir much? Classic comment – after being stuck at that airport in question last year I must agree.

And I am supposed to be afraid of them?

With incompetence on this scale the only sane response is laughter.

And it only succeeds in its aim if the media goes completely bananas and turns a minor, incompetent and failed ‘terror attack’ into the most evil and horrifying plot since 9/11.

But then the media are supposed to print lies, tautologically speaking.

So if no-ones scared or hurt is it terrorism? People were far more scared about losing their homes to biblical floods than a few looneys with a chemistry set. This isn’t belittling the very few who are scared, it’s the reality.

When the inevitable attack comes, as it surely will, there will be no end of recriminations and accusations of laxity in performance of duties however ambiguously defined they may be. At the end of the day however, the real culprit will be that Western people in general just don’t think ahead much into the future any more or consider their posterity. They react like animals to something when it happens and no sooner.

What really separates us from the lower animals is our capacity to imagine the natural long term consequences of our actions and prepare accordingly. That capacity has gone missing in the Western populations over the past twenty years. It vanished along with the ability to read, write and speak in complete sentences. Somebody somewhere must have gotten all that surplus, mayhaps in Switzerland.

And I like the newly minted meme that 7 immigrant doctors conspiring and acting to blow up a bunch of “slags” at a night club isn’t anything new. I guess the “poverty caused it” meme took a huge blow, and we can’t have the hoi poi questioning what is fed to them.

You didn’t know Dokkkters kill? OMG hahaha, Custer was a dokkter a thousand years ago and killed a bunch of whales with nukes you tards!

I might add that the actual, real, flooding and aberrant weather patterns we have seen in the last few weeks (and the last few years), evidence for the increasing pace of Global Warming (which is almost certainly going to lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps millions of people, more, in other words, than any conceivable terror attack) has been, mysteriously, not highlighted by the Corporate media in the way that images of a burning truck in Glasgow airport (number of fatalities: zero) have been zoomed round the world.

In a way it demonstrates, yet again, the incompetence of these terrorists and demonstrates that terrorism should be added to car making, computer manufacturing and having a working transport system, in the long list of things the British simply can’t do anymore.

I mean they picked Glasgow airport. If only they had picked Glasgow Prestwick, most people would stood around and cheered. Christ what a dump.

As for the idea that the fact that doctors kill people might be shocking…I’m sorry?

Dr Shipman you are being paged.

Not necessarily. After the Oklahoma city bombing – which was a reaction to the Waco incident – they quickly arranged congressional hearings, invited assorted wingnuts, listened to their complaints and immediately changed FBI policies, rules of engagement or whatever they call it. And during the next major incident – the “freemen standoff” in 1996 – the feds didn’t attack, didn’t shoot anyone, they waited. That was the longest siege in the US history, and it ended peacefully, and so that one did not provoke any terrorism. So, it is possible to focus on actual institutions, the ways they operate.

The take-away, however, is that “perceptions of institutionalized injustice” can just as easily manifest themselves as unjust imperialist overlords, unjust capitalist pigs, unjust Western globalizers, or unjust communist socializers. There are inherent injustices in every institution, depending on your view of natural rights.

The conclusion is then not to focus on the injustice, but rather on the perception.
