Between 2007 and 2011, almost half the world’s terror attacks took place in Iraq and Afghanistan — two countries under active occupation by the United States.
Washington, D.C. — An analysis of terror attacks since 2002 suggests U.S. efforts to combat terrorism — i.e., the “War on Terror” — have led to a dramatic increase in death and suffering from terrorism.
Published this year on Sept. 11, Paul Gottinger, a staff reporter for Reader Supported News, analyzed incidents of terrorism from George Bush declaring the war on terror in the aftermath of 9/11 through the present, and found a staggering 6,500 percent increase in terrorism. Gottinger, who used data provided by the State Department in his analysis, found that casualties have increased by 4,500 percent.


But it also led to the passage of some draconian and completely illegal, unConstitutional DC laws, which technically have no jurisdiction outside of DC, according to the US Constitution as it is properly interpreted; specifically, this would be the notoriously evil Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
