Having listened to a series of interviews given by conspiracy researcher, Ole Dammegard, I no longer think that there are any genuine terrorists.

The illusion that there are is yet one more excuse for interfering with the private lives of hundreds of millions of people annually. For needless and irritating checks at airports. For repeatedly checking your identity. For kicking the stool out from under you, by causing you to feel more vigilant than is necessary and helpful.

Ole was once asked, what fraction of all the violent, public events that he was satisfied he’d got to the bottom of, were genuinely acts by terrorists? He replied “Not a single one in almost 40 years”.
