INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST CONFERENCE
STATE AND INSECURITY
The greatest myth of the world is that states provide security to their citizens. All states are deeply interested in insecurity of its people. Even more than war, insecurity is the health of the state. Let me explain why states are not really interested in providing complete security to the their people. Imagine a totally secure world? The result no need for security forces, no defense contractors, no money to line up the pockets of corporate-military-industrial cronies, no money for political terrorists. A world completely unlike the one we live in. Terrorism will be dead and so will all the ruling terrorists.
At this all the political, military and corporate leaders sitting in the hall started shouting, “No No security for the unwashed of this world.”
Kissinger continued
I do not have to explain a totally secure world will be unacceptable to all the ruling terrorists of world. A huge and a bloated amount of money are spent in every country on its uniformed state forces, and half of this money worldwide is spent by the United States. Still, that could not stop nineteen people armed with box cutters from attacking its citizens. Or take the case of India with millions of people in its security forces; they are incapable of stopping violence by small groups. Or take the case of Pakistan with almost unlimited financial help from United States it cannot provide security to its own people? Why? Because security forces in all countries are organized to put down rebellion of the people within the country or to threaten the neighboring states, they are not for providing security to the people.
What the states want is absolute control of its people and this is only possible if the people feel threatened and insecure and that service is provided by all the states to each other. Incidentally this idea of total and absolute control of the people is the extension religion’s desire for total and complete control of human life from birth to death. The purpose of this total control is to ensure security of the ruling state and religious hierarchies.
As the security forces are not for the defense of the people, they are for the defense of the ruling classes who control the state, therefore they are not an answer to nor are they organized to defend the people from the political, religious or other fringe groups of non-state terrorists. In fact non-state terrorists are essential for the growth of the corporate-military-industrial complexes in all countries. This explains why no state is really interested in the absolute security of its people. Let me explain.
All states have political, social or religious minorities with causes, which can be easily addressed. But it is not in our interest, by our interests I mean the interests of state and non-state terrorist leadership to solve these problems. The political, military and corporate leadership in all countries need these conflicts. They are the means to keep the people terrified and terrified people willingly pay for the up keep of uniformed state terrorist forces (Security Forces). Fear is the tool all governments use. Examine any conflict anywhere it has always helped governments. Without Kashmir both Indian and Pakistani governments will not be having such huge military establishments. Without Palestine and Chechnya both Israeli and Russian governments will have far less powers. And imperial U.S. will have real trouble if it does not manufacture conflicts everyday in far-flung countries. How will it justify mammoth expenditure on wars of aggression, which are the daily diet of its corporate-military-industrial empire?

About the Book
This book is an attempt to put in proper perspective terrorism by the states and stateless entities. And why it is almost impossible for a state to be non-terrorist body? Why do the rulers of states try to convert criminal and social problems into end time situations to grab maximum power in all countries?
It is about the Empire we live in and the wars and terror our rulers perpetrate by their interventionist foreign policy. Why do the flexible borders and widespread interests of our imperial rulers make wars necessary for the survival of the empire? And why do our rulers deny the very existence of empire, when our country has over 700 bases in other countries and as Laurence Vance says, “Today it pains me to report that the U.S. empire has now extended its tentacles to 159 regions of the world: 144 countries and 15 territories.” (Update on Empire)
With the emergence of total state after the French Revolution the wars have become total wars and terror is an integral part of modern wars. How the warriors and soldiers of old times have been reduced to, state employed terrorists in all the countries of world. How almost every state uses these unsuspecting young men as government terrorists?
It is my desire that if some how, with all the information available to us, we can extricate our country from its imperial ambitions and re-establish republic and once in the short history of mankind a volunteer renunciation of empire, it will be a miracle. I know this is foolish and vain hope but as they say anything is possible especilly when contours of falling Empire are visible on the horizon.
I have put it in nine dreams of President Bush because it seemed a convenient format.
