Sunni Terrorism

Introduction

There a religious component.  How long as it been around?  I will expound on terrorist organizations.  There are several state actors involved in this type of terrorism.  What happened Oct. 7th?  Which countries are affected by it?  

Religious Component

Salafism and a Wahhabism (a major sub-variant) is the main motivations 4 this form of terrorism.  Keep in mind not all Muslims that practice this type of Islam are terrorists.  Only a significant minority are.  Sayyid Qutb created the philosophical basis of this type of terrorism.         

History

Rashid Rida is the grandfather of Sunni Terrorism.  His ideas motivated the jihadists.  He wanted a Sunni caliphate to unite all Muslims.  Political and religious reform would led to a better Muslim community.  He neva was an advocate of violence.  Sayyid Qutb hijacked his ideas.  Qutb was a big inspiration Al-Qaeda.  Sayyid believed Westernization was corrupting Islamic societies.  He advocated Muslims jihading Europe.  

Arab nationalism took a hit after the 6 day war.  Then Salafism became popular in the Gulf states.  Men from the different parts of the Islamic world became the workforce for the oil industry in those nations.  They got influenced by Salafism and brought that insanity home (country of origin) with them.  Then it spread like wildfire.  In the 1970's terrorists that were Salafists followed Qutbism.       

Organizations

Muslim Brotherhood (MB): It was started by Hasan al-Banna.  He believed Egypt was becoming to Westernized.  In his mind Islam should the national identity of Egypt.  A constitution and political parties were good ideas he thought.  Members of this organization felt it was a religious duty to give $.  They have a monthly subscription and give donations.  Qatar has also given it a lot of money.  They are the biggest political opposition in the Arab world!!!  After Mubarak crown was knocked off, the MB tookova the government.  Then the military tookova and executed 400 of them.  This brotherhood maybe freemasonic.

Hamas: This organization started in 1987.  It's the Palestinian branch of the Muslim brotherhood.  They have committed terrorist attacks on the state of Israel.  They make life much harder 4 Palestinians.  Because of their attacks Israel, it has a green light to kill innocent Palestinians.  When Israeli Defense Force attacks Palestinians, they will say they are fighting Hamas.  Gaza has been  ruled by them for 18 years.  They have become a convenient excuse 4 genocide.  Knowingly or unknowingly they are servants of the Zionists agenda.     

Al-Qaeda: They were founded by Osama Bin Laden in 1988.  Decision making is centralized and execution is decentralized.  Several attacks in different countries have been committed by them.  This organization grew out of the Mujahideen.  Their funds came from Osama, drug trafficking, and donations.  They want 2 create a worldwide caliphate and they Muslim nations to shun European nations.   

ISIS: It started in 2004 and was the Iraqi branch of Al-Qaeda.  It started right after the 2nd Gulf War.  They wanted to takeova Iraq and impose Sharia law.  Yazidis were genocided by them tin that country.  Sometimes they would behead people on video; that inspired Mexican Drug Cartels to do it too.  Some of them engaged in cannibalism.  4 a little while they were @ war with history and destroyed many artifacts.  When turned their attention to Syria; so the U.S. supported them after that 4 about a minute.  That's was because the Yankees wanted to oust the ex Syrian president.  In 2014 they had $2 billon dollars.  Most of came from stealing and Al-Qaeda casted them out because of their brutality.      

Boko Harem: It was started in 2002.  The goal was to eliminate Shia Islam in Nigeria and take ova the government.  It didn't become a jihidist organization until 7 years later.  They fellow Wahhabism, which is the shittist form of Islam.  They believe Nigeria has been corrupted by Europeans.  56 school boys was set on fire by them.  The year after that, they kidnaped 267.  Many attacks have been carried out by them.  Their funds come from extortion and kidnapping 4 ransom.  Several countries offered Nigeria assistance in battling these terrorists.        

 

State Actors

Saudi Arabia: They have funded Al-Qaeda and ISIS.  Islamic charities are used to fund Sunni terrorists.  Jemaah Islamiyah was a terrorist group in southeast Asia that was funded by the Saudis.  One of the cofounders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is a Hamas supporter.  Other members of the council have been arrested 4 being terrorists.     

Israel: It helped ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra during the Syrian Civil War.  They took care of ISIS fighters in their hospitals.  Mossad start funding Hamas 1987, because the Israeli government preferred them ova the PLO.  In 1998 Bibi told Turkey send Hamas sum $. They also sold weapons to Neo-Nazis in Ukraine.     

United States: Last century the government supported Islamists.  They did it in the hope it would snuff out Arab nationalism and stop Soviet expansion.  Mujahidin was funded and trained by the U.S. and its allies.  The Pentagon and the CIA funded and trained rival militias in Syria.  Obama said the military was training ISIL.     

Great Britain: A British agent was working with Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn Sulaymān al-Tamīmī, he helped him in the hope it would weaken the Ottoman empire.  Remember Wahhabism is the main inspiration 4 Sunni terrorism.  Sudan had vital information on Al-Qaeda leaders in the 90's, but the MI6 rejected it.  They support terrorists that have whose interests intersect with their own.           

Oct. 7th

On that date in 2023 Hamas attacked Israel.  Earlier that year a woman from Unit 8200 told her superiors about a imminent attack.  But they didn't believe her because they were sexist.  The attack was allowed to happen; so they could kill innocent Gazans.  IDF killed some the hostages @ the music festival.  They may have killed as many as 435 people.  Bibi was on trial right b4 that happened.  He probably would have went to prison.  Part of the reason this genocide have continued is so he can have a get out jail 4 free card.         

List of Countries

Afghanistan: The Taliban tookova this country in 1996.  They vey brutal and mistreated women, but they end drug trafficking there.  It was common for men of the Mujahedeen to have male sex slaves.  They were called Bacha bazi; the Taliban outlawed it.  The CIA was getting info from the boy rapers during their war against the Taliban.  In exchange for info they would give them Viagra.  Some U.S marines and/or soldiers tried to stop the boy rape and they were dishonorably discharged.  The U.S. set up a puppet government in Afghanistan that lasted 4 a spell.  Then the Taliban tookova again.       

Iraq: Saddam Hussein supported terrorism.  He gave money to the families of Hamas suicide bombers.  Terrorists form Turkey, Iran and Isra-Hell got financial support and training there.  B4 the first Gulf War Osama wanted to kill Saddam.  He asked the Saudi royal family to back him, but they wouldn't.  He didn't want the Yankees in Muslim land.  ISIS (Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) started in Iraq after Saddam lost his crown.                                                    

Syria: The government of this nation terrorized it citizens.  The Muslim Brotherhood fought government as well.  During the civil war many terrorist militias were active in Syria.  Some of the militias were supported by the Pentagon, while others were supported by the CIA.  Those 2 support groups battled each other.  The Syrian government was defeated by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.  The leader of the organization became the new president of Syria.  Prior to that, the CIA had $10 million on his head.  

Libya: Muammar Gaddafi supported various terrorists groups.  After his sodomy death ISIS overran the country.  Then they enslaved Africans and Arabs.  The new government of Libya continues to fight terrorism.  Various militias with ties to different political parties are battling each other @ the moment.  Some of them want democracy, while others want a caliphate.       

Burkina Faso: It seems like Blaise, the longest running president worked with terrorists.  This country has been attacked Al-Qaeda and ISIS.  Terrorist attacks started in 2015 and have continued since then.  The government is working on counterterrorism and is getting help from other countries in that regard. 

Mali: In 2012 Tuareg militants attacked security forces with the help of Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups.  France and the UN decided to help Mali defeat the terrorists.  ISIS and friends encouraged different tribes to fight each other.  Last year ova half a million people have been displaced by terrorist. 

There are many other countries with issues resulting from Sunni terrorism, but this will suffice

Conclusion

Sunni terrorism has been around a long time.  @ least 50 years and it's inspired by radical forms of Islam.  There are many Sunni terrorist organizations that effect many countries.  Several state actors use this form of terrorism to promote its own agenda.  October 7, 2023  was the day the Israeli intelligence community allowed Hamas to attack the country.  So, they could use it as an excuse to kill innocent people in Gaza.  It reminds me of 9/11.  There no way to stop Sunni terrorism.

History

Legend as it a women created it in southern China.  She was a nun of the Shaolin Temple.  Her name was Ng Mui.  Yim Wing-chun was her student that made it popular.  Some people believe it comes from European boxing, because it shares many similarities.          

Lineages

There are several different types of Wing Chun.  I will write about a few.

Effectiveness

Wing Chun is one of the best martial arts when it comes to self-defense.  It is eazy to understand and apply in a real fight.  It is conceptual, so you can apply many different techniques.  It is not as flashy as other forms of Kung-Fu.

Psychoenergetics

Introduction

What is it?  This concept been around 4 ova 50 years.  It has many functions.  Where is it taught?  Who weaponized it and how did they do it?

Definition

It is the psychology of energy.  Roberto Assagioli created this field so consciousness and energies can be studied.  He believed psychology was evolving in a linear fashion.  This is the progression: behaviorism, psychoanalytic, humanistic, transpersonal, and finally psychoenergetics.         

Functions

There are 7 energies that humans possess.  They are as follows:

Sensation: It's our 5 senses: touch, smell, hear, see, and taste.  

Emotion: Chemicals in our brain that make life colorful.  "Energy in motion."  

Impulse: It is simply desire.  

Imagination: It has the power to create through visualization.  

Thought: It is words in our brain.   

Intuition: Knowing something without ever studying it.   

Will: The ability to act.  

Schools

PSEN is located in the U.S. and Spain.  It offers a 4 year program.  You learn about nine different ways to aide someone in their healing journey.  You will also learn 9 values from 9 teachers.  They can teach you how to improve your chakras.  

Pneuma Institute is located in 14 different countries.  They offer psychotherapy, breathwork, transpersonal psychology, and solar magnetism.  They also promote Tibetan Buddhism and support communities in Peru.      

Weaponization

Department of Defense studied ways psychoenergetics could be used covertly.  Their assets remote viewed other countries.  They may have had the ability to remote influence.  I read remote viewers were used to find Scud missiles in Iraq, during the first Gulf War.  The psychoenergetic program was named Stargate Project.  Russia and China was doing programs like that as well. 

     

Conclusion

Psychoenergetics is the psychology of energy and awareness.  Humans have several functions related to it.  There are @ least 2 schools that teach about it.  It has been weaponized by @ least 3 governments.  We are all psychic, because we are animals.

History

DGSE is a acronym that means Directorate-General for External Security.  It all started in 1943; it's name changed several times.  The person who started DGSE was fired 4 abuses and nepotism.  The new director fired most of workers and brought more intelligence agencies under his wing.  

The KGB may have infiltrated them in 1950's and the CIA sometimes were @ odds with them.  In 1985 they sunk a ship that was protesting France nuclear weapon test on a island in Polynesia.  They spied on U.S. business men in 1990's that were in France.    

Divisions

There are 5 directorates.  

Administration: It is responsible 4 the human, financial and real assets.  

Strategy: It creates the game plan of DGSE.  They make sure the info is legit.  

Intelligence: They are in charge of finding targets to gather intel from.  

Technical: They do cyberdefense and develop technology 4 operations.  

Operations: Their duty is getting HUMINT and covert actions.  

Missions

Cyberdefense: They identify the people trying to attack France's cybersecurity.  They also find out why they are attacking and how to stop them.     

Geopolitics: They figure out what countries or organizations threaten the stability of France.  Then they'll find ways to neutralize them.  

Counterespionage: They find out who is spying on France and the methods they are using to do so.  Then they tell law enforcement, so they can arrest them.    

Counterproliferation: They find out who is acquiring weapons of mass destruction illegally and put a stop to it.  

Counterterrorism: Their duty is find out about terrorists that threaten French interests and eliminate them. 

Headquarter

It's located in Paris and its codename is CAT.  There's a supercomputer in the basement.  It collects the most intelligence data in Europe after the GCHQ.  They give that data to 4 directorates, Paris police and a service that stops illegal finances.  A new HQ is suppose to be built in 2030.    

Size & Budget 

There may be ova 4,000 people employed in the agency.  Sometimes French nationals that live aboard gives intel to a operative.  Those sources are called Honorable Correspondent.  The parliament usually give the agency half a billion Euros.  The prime minister gives extra funds 4 certain operations.

Operations

In 2024 the DGSE and the CIA gave intelligence to COS that led to the death of a terrorist leader.  

In 2019 they identified and tracked 15 Russian spies.  The CIA, MI6, and FIS helped them with that. 

In 2014 they put hidden cameras in Cozy Bear.  It was in Russia and controlled by the SVR.

In 2004 two French journalists were recused in Iraq.

In the 1990's Afghan training camps were infiltrated.

In the 1980's a source named Farewell gave them intel on Soviet spying of Western European countries.      

In 1979 a African emperor was assassinated and pro-French government came to power.  

They did many other operations, but this will suffice.  

Conclusion

It has been around for 81 years!!!  It got sweet divisions and missions.  It HQ is in Paris and it has many employees.  It got a lot $ to work with.  It has done many missions in @ least 3 continents.  I heard it was the most high tech spy agency.

Rippers Crew

Introduction

Who were they and where did they come from?  What did they do and what was their beliefs?  How long were they operating?  Who were the members of this crew?  Did they have any connection John Wayne Gacy?  Did they make Manson look like boy scout?  

Definition

They were a group of "serial killers, rapists, cannibals, and necrophiles."  There were 4 people in that crew.  They may have killed ova 17 women and maybe a drive-by shooting.  They started committing crimes 1981.  

Crimes

All or most of their crimes were in Chicago.  They were sacrificing women to Satan.  The leader would read passages from the Satanic Bible while the followers would rape and torture the women.  They used piano wire to cut off the left breast off their victims.  After they cut off the breast, Robin would cut it in to pieces and they would eat it after they ejaculated into it.  He had a box that contained 15 breasts!!!  They did this in the attic of Robin house.  He turned his attic into a Satanic chapel.  When they got finish mutilating someone they would discard the body somewhere in public.  2 of the women they harmed survived.  A older man told they to slow down while they were driving, so Robin opened fire killing him.  Someone else was shoot but he survived.  Beverly Washington was a victim of the Rippers Crew.  They thought they killed her, so they dumped her body on the railroad tracks.  She survived and gave information to the cops that help them catch the crew.  3 of them are in prison, but Andrew got lethal injection.      

Beliefs

They were Satanists and  they cut the left breast because they thought were on the left hand path.

Sum Satanists believe Satanism is a part of the left hand path, but it really just a weird form of the right hand path.  The followers believed Robin had supernatural powers.  They said he was controlling them and if they didn't do what he say he'd kill them.         

Members

Their names are Robin Gecht, Edward Spreitzer, Thomas and Andrew Kokoraleis.  Robn had a wife and kids.  He worked construction, his boss was John Wayne Gacy.  His son became a killa.  He's in prison now!!  He might get out 2044.  The followers lived pretty ordinary lives.  They where all from Illinois; it's a state in U.S.A.       

Conclusion

They were a satanic cult that murdered, rape, mutilated, and torture women.  They killed one man and inquired another.  There were 4 members in the cult.  One of their victims helped police catch them.  Robin made Manson look like a boy scout because he was more brutal and killed more people.

"Different lifestyles schedules, dietary modifications, regimens, and even drugs have been recommended to accomplish the objective of health promotion and disease prevention.  Prevention of full-blown disease by recognizing it through early disease precursors and starting care at this stage is also one of the approaches for disease prevention described in classical Unani texts."   Examining the humors may lead to disease prevention.

History

Persian doctors learned about medicine from studying Hippocrates and Galen.  Avicenna is the father of Unani.  He wrote the Book of Healing and The Canon of Medicine.  The first book was very philosophical and the second book was studied in European universities for centuries.  Abu Bakr al-Razi had a big impact on Unani.  He was the first person to do psychotherapy and he discovered psychology.  He wrote a book describing small pox and the measles.  He also contributed to pharmacy by creating "mortars, flasks, spatulas, and phials" and came up with medical ethics.  The Comprehensive Book on Medicine was created by him.  It is 23 volumes!!!!!!  He wrote many other books as well.  

Unani was brought 2 India about 900 years ago when the Delhi Sultanate started.  Alauddin Khalji was the king that made Unani popular in India. After that, scholars wrote books about it.  Then Unani got influenced by Ayurveda during the Mughal Empire.      

Criticisms

It lacks standardization, integration, and it lacks scientific research.  Some of the medicine has heavy metals in them. Heavy metals can cause a disease.  I think doctors are trying to standardize it now.  Many people see it as a pseudoscience. 

Present Day

This form of medicine is popular in India and Central Asia.  There are many colleges that teach Unani.  The herbs are very effective.  Some of them protect the brain, anti-inflammatory, apoptogenic, lowers cholesterol, helps certain body systems, etc.  Many diseases were cured by Unani.     

Conclusion

Unani is Islamic medicine and it has been around 4 ova a millennium!  There are 7 principles and 4 diagnoses.   It tries to prevent diseases via diet and other means.  It has effective therapies and treatments.  Some of the drugs have heavy metal in them, so be careful.  It has sum criticisms, but it is very effective @ curing chronic diseases.
