If you read the whole piece and not just the headline then you will see that these comments came from Australian Intelligence officers who also publicly put their names to it.
I’d rather take advice from those two then the platitudes of Katy Perry or Bono but that’s just me I guess.
I’m surprised there isn’t more attention paid to the timing of the recent attacks considering the UK election is three days away and there was a similar attack immediately before the French presidential elections.
Why did ISIS & their backers want Le Pen to be elected?
Why do ISIS & their backers want May to be re-elected?
What is it about Corbyn that disadvanages them?
I usually laugh at my conspiracy theory friends, but something stinks here. A very quick Google & the dots are there to join without a stretch. I think the West is being played.
Really? Thats a surprise. The intention may have been different of course.
My questions still stand tho. It was obvious that the French attack was meant to favour Le Pen - why? And to what end are ISIS & their backers trying to manipulate the UK election? Its naive to think this is not the case.
OK, I guess you are naive then…
In what universe did it not favour Le Pen?
ISIS are using terror to drive a wedge between moderate Muslims and the West. They are promoting a clash of cultures and hate the idea of an integrated society. Their aim is for Muslims to return ‘home’. They particularly hate that genuine refugees are fleeing from Syria to the West. Voting for the likes of Le Pen plays directly into their hands.
And no, I haven’t airbrushed anything. Are you trying to say that because Hebdo wasn’t proximate to an election that ISIS doesn’t try to influence elections?
You really are a piece of work, making demands of mods to delete things you don’t agree with.
You’re the root cause of the majority of the work they have to do in this and other threads like it. You deliberate attempt to derail threads of an argument with your ridiculous assignment of peoples beliefs to their posts when they have said nothing of the sort. “Why do you hate the West so much”… ■■■■ off.
You contribute nothing but furious onanism and then you go whining to the mods.
Obvious to whom? You presume to know the motivations of terrorist but as usual provide no substance to support your position. Its naïve to assume these attacks fit your narrative. Many of the worst of the attacks simply have no correlation at all to elections for example the Paris attacks of 2015, the bali bombing & even back to 9/11 which was only 8 months after Bush took office.
Not sure if serious. It was obvious to anyone awake that the French attacks were expected to benefit Le Pen. The fact that they didn’t was considered surprising & significant. Do you really think the timing of any attack isn’t a key consideration? What do these pre-election tactics say of their strategy? And how do we counter this strategy?
And it would be compacent to assume that because other attacks are not proximate to an election, the ones that are have no correlation.
