The Saker: I am NOT Charlie

"Tools" get used.......

..... and the folks at Charlie Hebdo sure seemed like political 'tools' to my mind. Rather obvious ones, at that.

And boy, did they ever get 'used'! Big time. As in 'splatter-fest Paris 2015'.

But exactly 'who' used them? Well, that's the big question, isn't it?

"Really, what did they expect?", you ask. Protection, perhaps, from their powerful friends in the PTB, yet never knowing or even suspecting that as 'tools' they could be used in ANY fashion the PTB wanted at ANY moment. Fools!

To be the most accurate, you should really ask, "What did they expect........ from their masters in the PTB?".

And the answer to that is: exactly what they got, which is to be mercilessly used in the worst possible fashion at the best possible time (for the PTB, that is.) Yes, "What did they expect?", indeed!

You also posted a direct quote from Saker's piece, which ends in, "This is a statistical inevitability". I must respectfully diverge from The Saker on this point. I absolutely LOVE The Saker and all that he bravely gets out there for us to read and learn from, but occasionally I must sharply disagree with him on a point or two. This is one of those times.

First, I studied statistics, and there was nothing 'inevitable' about this whatsoever, at least from a 'statistics' standpoint.

But from a political standpoint the statement about inevitability becomes much more well-taken. Poke a tiger in the eye and you should expect an attack, at least eventually. But the REAL question is: who holds the tiger's leash, and why was that leash released, the cage opened wide, and the tiger freed? And was it actually a tiger, and not someone just dressed up like a tiger?

Of course the folks at Charlie Hebdo would eventually get mercilessly used by the PTB. We all do, to one degree or another, and in countless forms and manifestations. That was the real and true 'inevitability', and not an attack by enraged muslims. It just took the form of the attack by alleged muslim terrorists. Convenient, indeed! The timing was simply perfect (as was the apparent use of "the usual suspects", aka 'muslim' terrorists.) Just what the PTB ordered. Couldn't have gone better (except for the folks at Charlie Hebdo, of course. But they're simple PTB 'tools', pawns in a grand chess game, so they don't count. Ever.)

There is little to no 'chance' in politics, as countless observers have noted. If it happened, someone wanted it that way, and had the power to make it so.

It happened. Ergo, somebody 'wanted' it to happen. The question is: who?

And we are right back to the Romans and "Cui bono?".

But this was NOT 'inevitable' in a general sense based on what muslims would do or not do. Claiming 'inevitability' based on hurt feelings of muslims simply reinforces negative stereotypes about muslims and their murderous irrationality about their faith, and takes blame away from the likely real perpetrators (or is that 'perpetraitors'?) and the powers behind the scenes pulling the strings to make it/let it happen. And the PTB likes that. A lot.

I understand fully The Saker's point, of course. And I agree with him, just not how he stated it. It's just that the assumptions he made through the language he chose in that regard play directly into the MSM's narrative about muslims and Islam generally being basically made up of a bunch of wild-eyed, crazy religious extremists just looking for an excuse to kill some blaspheming infidels.

So let's not give them what they want, and instead let's keep our eyes on the prize because this appears more like Gladio-style murderous bullshit than any spontaneous outrage from offended muslims. (SOTT editors are already all over this one, as we have seen.) These were pros who did this job, not some wild-eyed infuriated muslims out for revenge. This was planned and executed by cool, calm professional killers. Crazy, enraged muslims need not apply, thank you.

For me, the more we help the PTB by pinning it on muslims generally and their hurt feelings, the more we allow the relentless propaganda models to control our thinking about a religion that is being demonized by a zionist controlled MSM, and a bunch of NAZO-aligned governments with their MICs that just LOVE blowing up persons of dark skin and islamic orientation (and sending the bills for the bombs to the taxpayers, marked, "Pay in full immediately, OR ELSE!") Inciting hatred towards muslims ultimately means no public opposition to the on-going slaughter by US/NAZO of innocents throughout the muslim world.

In short, business as usual in the West.

Nothing personal, Seaniebawn. I understand your feelings and frustrations. I feel them, too. I apologize if I came across hard at all. Thank you for posting and please post again. Same goes for The Saker, who is a real fave of mine, and a true hero for posting what he does. Bravo to all!

But to my mind at least, I believe that The Saker is wrong in discussing and framing Islam generally by calling the attack 'inevitable', as this is just what the PTB wants. His fine intentions are clear, as always, but the practical effect cannot be ignored or denied. We need less demonization of Islam, whether intentional or otherwise, as that simply plays into the hands of zionist-anglo empire builders and their evil minions.

Otherwise, great piece by The Saker, as usual.

Thanks again to SOTT for posting this article, and all other of the good stuff we get here. Cheers!

not sure about that..

surely the group is only as large as the number of reactionary, extremist, radicalized muslims.
I hope you don't think all (or even the majority) muslims are that way.
I'm sure there's more to this than that 'simple' explanation.
