Fred Weir, the Christian Science Monitor’s correspondent in Moscow, thinks that the biggest problem resulting from the train crash is the return of a social mood of panic and fear.
“This is practically exactly the 10th anniversary of the awful apartment bombings that occurred in the fall of 1999,” he said. “And we had quite a number of really awful grisly terrorist acts that struck here in Moscow and other Russian cities right up until Beslan, which was 5 years ago. There was a political mood of real toughness and need and almost hysteria to clamp down and create secure conditions. A lot of the political changes that we have experienced, the tightening of power, were already an indirect result of terrorism because they are part of the official response. And so it’s really scary to counter play the return of that mood to Russian society.”

... but whom might really be behind the sadness, fear, and panic of 'terrorism'? Just because the TV 'news' says something needs a further look. I am so sad about any person sacrificed for some political agenda - their's or our's. Usama bin Laden was unquestionably within reach of U.S. troops in the mountains of Tora Bora when American military leaders made the crucial and costly decision not to pursue the terrorist leader with massive force, a Senate report says. The report asserts that the failure to kill or capture bin Laden at his most vulnerable in December 2001 has had lasting consequences beyond the fate of one man. Bin Laden's escape laid the foundation for today's reinvigorated Afghan insurgency and inflamed the internal strife now endangering Pakistan, it says. Maybe an other example of 'too big to fail'? What-ever the truth or real history, I think bin Laden has become the icon in the Western media-mind of the never-ending war on 'terrorism'. As we continue to chase a dead man's ghost in the deserts of the AfPak region, we do not have to look at the results of our own terrorism of corporate greed and the new world dis-order ...
Terrorism is the biggest pay-out on the planet in this time since technology has "progressed" the human being into levels of insanity which can only be managed by those who have sane brains. Not happening. This new game plan of the old idea (one world government) is about the same people who have been doing this since The House of Rothschild sent all their sons into the world (Russia) to enslave human beings with their faux money. What was that number of years now? More than 300 - three centuries of wars for the degenerate families of earth. Yes it is old Europe and new Europe and it is their state of Israel and the US, too. All of these degenerate families who have offspring that cannot find one brain cell to synapse amongst the whole lineages of all THEM, are cannibals. Why would sane humans choose to murder their own species? They do not. Thus, it is a no-brainer to know what is going on in the earth's changing of the guard during this 21st Century, just follow the families with eons of stolen money, mass murdering sold as wars, plus the usual formula ... .... the forever end-goal to own the whole planet and every breath that breathes any air.
The question is, when will people learn not to take the bloody money? How is it possible to use the religion to get oneself on a payroll of some foreign manipulator. And to set the stage for the destruction of one's own country. Having seen how easy it was to do in Yugoslavia, nothing would shock me anymore.
