Nick Kollerstrom: Understanding Fabricated Terror | The Delingpod
State of Terror
Nick Kollerstrom – July 2024 | The Delingpod
A wide ranging discussion, James Delingpole and Nick Kollerstrom discuss the numerous illusory fabricated stories.
Nick Kollerstrom is historian of science, a former honorary research fellow in Science and Technology Studies at University College, London (UCL), and a former lunar gardening correspondent for the BBC. He is the author or co-author of a number of books, including Gardening and Planting by the Moon (an annual series beginning 1980), Newton’s Forgotten Lunar Theory (2000), Crop Circles (2002), and Terror on the Tube (2009).
“We are in a war maker civilisation. When the military becomes powerful enough, it fabricates narratives to give you an enemy to justify its growth.”
Nick Kollerstrom
If you want to understand synthetic terror and fabricated apex events, look no further than the myriad of previously orchestrated dark manoeuvres to see the magician’s tricks.
Fabricated Terror
A Historical Perspective on Orchestrated Narratives
The intricate relationship between state power, fabricated narratives, and the orchestration of fear is encapsulated in the concept of “State of Terror.” This phenomenon can be understood through historical examples of false flag operations, psychological manipulation, and the influence of the military-industrial complex. These tactics serve to create perceived threats, allowing governments to justify their actions and expand their power.
FBI Entrapment Cases
In recent years, the FBI has been accused of orchestrating sting operations that entrap individuals into alleged terrorist plots. Cases such as the Newburgh Four, Fort Dix Five, and Liberty City Seven have raised questions about the authenticity of these threats and the role of informants in creating them. These examples highlight the potential for law enforcement agencies to manipulate narratives to justify their existence and tactics.
Operation Gladio and the Lavon Affair
Operation Gladio, a clandestine NATO operation during the Cold War, involved the creation of secret armies in Europe that were later implicated in acts of terrorism. The narrative that emerged from Gladio suggested that these groups were used to create a climate of fear, justifying increased military spending and the expansion of state power. Similarly, the Lavon Affair, an Israeli covert operation in the 1950s, aimed to frame Arab nationalists by conducting bombings in Egypt. These events demonstrate how states can fabricate threats to maintain control and justify their actions.
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident and the 2003 Iraq War
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident in 1964 and the justification for the 2003 Iraq War serve as critical examples of how fabricated narratives can lead to significant military actions. In the former case, the US government reported attacks by North Vietnamese forces that were later revealed to be exaggerated or misrepresented, escalating US involvement in the Vietnam War. In the latter case, claims of Saddam Hussein’s possession of weapons of mass destruction were used to gain support for the invasion of Iraq, despite these claims being discredited later.
The Reichstag Fire and the “War on Terror” Post-9/11
The Reichstag Fire in 1933, which the Nazis blamed on communists, allowed the regime to create a narrative of a communist threat to justify their authoritarian measures. Similarly, the narrative surrounding the 9/11 attacks was used to justify extensive military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, portraying terrorists as an omnipresent threat and facilitating the implementation of controversial policies.
The Role of Globalism and the Military-Industrial Complex
The manipulation of narratives surrounding terrorism is closely tied to the concepts of globalism and the military-industrial complex. Globalism fosters interdependence among nations, often leading to conflicts that are framed in terms of national security. The military-industrial complex, a coalition of military and defence contractors, benefits from the perpetuation of these narratives, as they justify increased military spending and interventionist policies.
The intertwining of these elements creates a feedback loop where fabricated threats lead to military action, which in turn reinforces the need for further military preparedness. This dynamic not only shapes public perception but also influences policy decisions at the highest levels of government.
Conclusion
The orchestration of fear through fabricated narratives and false flag operations serves as a powerful tool for states seeking to justify their actions and expand their power. Historical examples, from Operation Gladio to the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, illustrate a recurring theme: the creation of perceived threats to manipulate public perception and justify military and political agendas.
In an era where psychological warfare, propaganda, and social engineering are increasingly sophisticated, understanding these historical precedents is crucial. They reveal the mechanisms through which fear is cultivated and exploited, ultimately shaping public discourse and policy. Recognising these patterns empowers citizens to critically assess the narratives presented by those in authority and to question the underlying motives of state actions.
