Ive known a lot of terrorists quote-unquote, Ive met them, Ive interviewed them for books, Ive known them since I was an economic hit man; but Ive never met one who wanted to be a terrorist. They all wanted to be with their families, back on the farm. Theyre driven to terrorism because theyve lost the farm. Its been inundated with water from a hydro-electric project, or with oil from oil derricks. Their farm has been destroyed. They cant make a living for their kids. Or in the case of the Somali pirates, their fishing waters have been destroyed. And thats why theyve turned to this, it isnt because they wanted to be pirates or terrorists. Now there may be a few crazy people, there are a few crazy people, people with their nuts loose, therell always be serial killers, therell always be crazy people, maybe Osama Bin Laden is one of them - but they do not get a following unless theres a terrible injustice going on, and people are starving and theyre deprived, and then they will follow these crazy people because they seem to offer an alternative. If we want to do away with terrorism, if we want to have what we in the US call Homeland Security, weve gotta recognise that the whole planet is our homeland. Quote by John Perkins. Author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, as seen on the Four Horseman Documentary. For me, the quote above is the best explanation of terrorism that Ive ever heard. Doco and book are both highly recommended. See link below for details. https://youtube/watch?v=5fbvquHSPJU
