Journal Jeremiah Cornelius's Journal: Foley is a Fake 18
Kidnapped in Libya, got away. Kidnapped in Syria, "beheaded".
Orange jump suit? Not even b-movie material. Edited from hours of footage, Photoshopped and Premiered to forensic nonsense - and hey! Look, they cut a different place than the "severed head" was separated.
He is probably dead. That's what happens to CIA screws.

It's all fake, turtles. All the way down.

With over 70% of Americans opposed to any new foreign military action, the war machine has to do something to gin up the next glorious Middle East AIPAC adventure. Defense spending doesn't grow on trees, you know. Well, it does, but sometimes you have to spread a little fertilizer to make those trees grow.

It ain't about foreign wars.
It's about locking up unrest at home. Those evil, ISIS guys we gave weapons? They could be your neighbors! They are able to operate anywhere, anytime! They have Mexican drug-cartels (boogey-man II) in their pocket!

Yeah, I guess. Keeping people in line using military hardware seems to be a growth industry all over the world. I'm not sure I believe our overlords even see borders any more.

Not since Teddy Roosevelt... Well, not since, like, ever, but borders were never meant to be universally applied. Kinda funny when it all coincides with the big rise in nationalism we are witnessing throughout.

He wasn't. He was just a Catholic Boy, a foolish young man who thought that Islam was a peaceful religion. He was trying to tell the story of the street both times he was captured.

How many Muslims do you know? How many are there in the world? What miniscule fraction write screeds and take up arms?
Catholicism has the bloody destruction and enslavement of the Americas on it's conquistador hands. Islam - past and present - has nothing to shade that, by way of comparison.
It is interesting to note that Ghengiz Khan was a worshiper of nature-spirit, but almost half his armies were Buddhist - His first wife was oriental Orthodox, as were a substantial minority contingent of the M

Approximately 10%. But that's not the reason I say Islam is a fake. The reason I say Islam is a fake is because as a theology, it can be used to justify everything from Sufi to ISIS and everything in between. There is no coherent morality to Islam, because Allah himself, as portrayed in the Koran, is not a faithful God, is not coherent from verse to verse.
A similar problem can be found in the Old Testament, and has inspired an awful lot of fundament

Just one point: Africa is in the aftermath of Colonial destruction and neon-colonial extraction. That has far more relevance than the practice of religion.
All people on earth are made of the same mixture of inclinations and inspirations. The mental proposition of a theology does little to change this, but provides one framework for justifying how desires are fulfilled.

The proper way to deal with that is localism, not killing off everybody who isn't Islamic (every African Genocide in the last 50 years has been Islamic in origin).
