Islamic Militants Continue To Wage Economic Warfare Against The West


Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, Daily Beast: Operation Hemorrhage: The Terror Plans to Wreck the West’s Economy

The Western economy is a key underlying target in attacks like the one that the Islamic State perpetrated in Brussels.

Every European who flies frequently knows the airport in Zaventem, has spent time in the ticketing area that was strewn with blood, limbs, broken glass, battered luggage and other wreckage.

It was another attack on aviation that pulled the United States into the conflict sometimes known as the “global war on terror” in the first place. Since then, airports and airplanes have remained a constant target for Islamic militants, with travelers being encumbered by new batches of security measures after each new attack or attempt.

After the ex-con Richard Reid managed to sneak a bomb aboard a transatlantic flight in December 2001, but failed to detonate the explosives, American passengers were forced to start removing their shoes on their way through security. After British authorities foiled a 2006 plot in which terrorists planned to bring liquid explosives hidden in sport drink bottles aboard multiple transatlantic flights, authorities strictly limited the quantity of liquids passengers were allowed to carry. When Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab snuck explosives hidden in his underwear onto a flight on Christmas Day 2009, he ushered in full-body scans and intrusive pat-downs.

I would add, in all honesty. If as reported, President Putin, by plan, instigated and exacerbated the rush of refugees out of the way of his indiscriminate bombing ,in Syria, and on to Turkey, Greece and Europe. If this is so, than in the short term in Europe, his military intervention has largely allowed the inflow of false documented jihadists (600) back into Europe to do economic and violent disruption. A form of Russian warfare on Europe in my opinion. And this is a weapon that can't be withdrawn by him. Indiscriminate. So he in fact has helped the jihadist in a significant way, while publicly fainting the opposite.

The flood of refugee's into Europe, started in the summer of 2013, roughly 25% from Lybia, * ( broken and rendered ungovernable by NATO), roughly 25% from Lebanon, and roughly 50%, from Turkey, two years before Russia intervened in Syria.

In 2014, the flood doubled, with roughly 10% coming from Lybia, 10% coming from Lebanon, and 80% coming from Turkey.

In the summer of 2015, before Russia intervened in Syria, the flood of refugee's doubled again, this time with roughly 5% coming from Lybia, 5% coming from Lebanon and 90% coming from Turkey.

(* coming from refers to the point of origin for the smuggling, not the make up of the refugees)

A rough break down of the flood of refugees, by country of origin, is as follows,

50% from Syria,
25% from Iraq and Afghanistan,
20% from Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania.

In order for Russia to have "weaponized" the flow of refugee's to Europe, Putin would have had to gained total control of the Governments and Security Forces of Turkey, Lebanon, Lybia, and NATO.

As this is highly improbable, that means that the whole MSM meme of Russia "weaponizing" refugees is Western anti-Russian propaganda aimed at the Sorcha Faal/David Icke/ Jones Conspiracy Theory nutjobs and the mentally incompetent.
