The Patriot Act
The document discusses security, liberty, and the Patriot Act. It notes that security is freedom from danger and safety, while liberty is freedom from restriction or control. It then explains that the Patriot Act was passed after 9/11 to strengthen security and give agencies power to identify and stop terrorists. The full title of the act is Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.
Anwar sadat
Anwar Sadat, the president of Egypt, was assassinated on October 6, 1981 during a military parade in Cairo. The assassination was carried out by Khalid Islambouli and members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad after obtaining approval from Omar Abdel-Rahman. They opposed Sadat's peace treaty with Israel. Sadat was succeeded by Hosni Mubarak, who cracked down on radical Islam by arresting and torturing thousands of suspected terrorists. The assassination marked increased tensions between fundamentalists and the Egyptian government.
Ms. Guyer's 2nd Period Terrorism/9-11 Group
The document discusses three topics related to terrorism: the September 11th attacks, the kidnapping and beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan in 2002, and the controversial interrogation technique of waterboarding. It provides background information on each event, including who was responsible, where and when they occurred, and their impact. The document examines different perspectives on the use of waterboarding and debates whether its use to extract information from detainees is justified or constitutes torture.
DICK CHENEY - Stands DEFIANT On Iraq
In a documentary about his role in the Iraq war, former Vice President Dick Cheney defends the US invasion of Iraq and the use of controversial interrogation techniques. Cheney believes that protecting national security was more important than being popular, and that techniques like waterboarding did not constitute torture. While many of the rationales for the war have been discredited, Cheney insists he would make the same decision to invade Iraq again. The documentary portrays Cheney as a controversial figure still committed to his hawkish views despite criticism from others in the Bush administration.
911 timeline
Over several decades, from the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis to attacks in the 2010s, the United States has experienced numerous terrorist attacks and incidents of violence. These include the bombing of the US embassy and marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983, the Pan Am 103 bombing in 1988, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and the September 11th, 2001 hijacking of four airplanes and attacks on the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people. Subsequent attacks include the 2012 Benghazi consulate attack in Libya and hostage executions by ISIS in the mid-2010s.

POTUS as Commander in Chief
The document discusses the President's role as Commander in Chief and the blurring lines between war and peace. It notes that while Congress declares war, the President makes war and runs the military. However, in recent decades Presidents have taken actions like indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay, drone strikes killing American citizens without declarations of war, raising difficult legal questions about accountability and the limits of the President's authority without Congressional approval.

Bush powerpoint
George W. Bush served as President of the United States from 2001-2009. During his presidency, he oversaw the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. His domestic policies included tax cuts, education reform with No Child Left Behind, and a prescription drug program for seniors. Major events during his presidency included Hurricane Katrina and the Virginia Tech shooting. On the international stage, he dealt with North Korea's nuclear program and sought peace between Israel and Palestine.
Patriot Act
The document discusses the Patriot Act passed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It describes how two planes crashed into the World Trade Center, killing thousands. This caused people to feel unsafe and seek revenge against terrorists. The Patriot Act was passed to prevent future attacks by allowing more government surveillance. It took away some civil liberties in exchange for increased security after the terrorist events shook the sense of safety in America.
Terrorism
Terrorism has existed throughout history and is defined as using violence and threats for political goals. Groups resort to terrorism due to economic, social, or religious inequities when they cannot achieve goals through traditional means. Notable examples of terrorism discussed include the 1972 Munich Olympics kidnapping, airline hijackings in the 1960s-1980s, and car bombings like the 1993 World Trade Center and 1995 Oklahoma City bombings. Suicide bombings are also commonly used. Afghanistan served as a base for terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda under the Taliban government. The September 11, 2001 attacks led the US to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, increasing security measures worldwide.
Terrorism 7th Period Project, Guyer
The document discusses terrorism and 9/11, providing background on the war in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda. It then discusses the 9/11 attacks in detail, including how hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Center towers. It also discusses Osama Bin Laden claiming responsibility and his background. Further sections discuss the impact of terrorism on Americans abroad like Daniel Pearl, as well as terrorist attacks in other countries like England, Russia, and Kuwait. It concludes by discussing the US tactic of waterboarding to interrogate terrorism suspects.
Bush and the Global war on Terror
The Bush era has seen remarkable change in the US foreign policy. After 9/ 11 attacks, President Bush (the son) initiated the Bush Doctrine and started his war on terror which had such implications as the invasion of Afghanistan in 2011, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Post-9/11 American Society
The document discusses how society changed after 9/11, with quotes highlighting that life was very different before and after. It outlines topics to be covered such as domestic policy changes, social/cultural impacts, and attitudinal changes in Americans. Rituals like flag displays and memorials helped create solidarity. Surveys showed increased surveillance support and unfavorable views of Arabs/Muslims initially after 9/11.

Terrorism 911
This document discusses the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and their aftermath. It provides details on the death toll from 9/11 and the impact on families in New York. It also mentions the backlash against Middle Eastern people after 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq launched by the US in response, and debates around the rationale for the Iraq war.
The day the world changed
The document discusses the causes of the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001. It lists 12 factors that contributed to why the attacks happened:
1) Bin Laden believed the US was weak and would withdraw troops after attacks, but 9/11 instead led to the destruction of the Taliban and decimation of al Qaeda.
2) 9/11 was seen by Bin Laden's followers as necessary to defend their radical interpretation of Islam amidst a global community increasingly aware of conflicts in the Islamic world due to new communications technologies.
3) Authoritarian regimes in the Middle East radicalized militants like Bin Laden, while discrimination faced by Muslim immigrants in the West also turned some towards militancy.
Coincidence theory
The document discusses the official story of 9/11 and presents evidence from credible experts and officials who question or dispute this story. It argues that the official story relies heavily on "coincidence theory" to explain observations that appear coordinated, rather than considering conspiracy theories. Many experts from diverse backgrounds such as military, intelligence, and political realms are quoted expressing doubts about the 9/11 Commission report and calling for further investigation.
Targeting Israel: A Distraction From Real Threats
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: While the world unfortunately focuses again on Israel (a state the size of New Jersey), they continue to unfortunately be asleep at the wheel when Russia invaded Crimea and annexed it from a sovereign country of Ukraine in 2014, and again now in 2020 as China is taking critical steps that restrict freedom and human rights in Hong Kong.
Terrorism 3rd Period Presentation Guyer
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism. Some conspiracy theorists believe the U.S. government may have been complicit in the attacks, but al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for planning and executing them.

The Post 911 Islamic War
On September 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, one into the Pentagon near Washington D.C., and a fourth into a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In response, the United States launched a War on Terrorism, invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban regime that had harbored al-Qaeda. The document also discusses divisions within the Muslim world between Sunni and Shia populations and the need for improved education systems in some Muslim-majority countries.
English referat
The document discusses the role of the United States and Israel as "world police" in the Middle East. It summarizes America's involvement in numerous military conflicts over several decades, often portraying US actions negatively. These include the atomic bombings of Japan, the Vietnam War, coups against Iran and Iraq, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and support for Israel amid its conflicts with Palestinians. It argues US foreign policy has been driven by interests like oil and containing geopolitical rivals rather than humanitarian concerns.
The Iranian Hostage Crisis
The Iranian Hostage Crisis began in 1979 when Iranian students stormed the US embassy in Tehran and took 66 Americans hostage. They were held for over a year as Iran's leader Ayatollah Khomeini refused to release them. President Carter was unable to negotiate their freedom or conduct a successful rescue mission. The hostages were finally released after 444 days of captivity just moments after Ronald Reagan was sworn in as the new US President in 1981.
English referat
The document summarizes some key events in the history of the United States and Israel, arguing that both countries engage in interest-driven power politics around the world. It asserts that the US and allies have oppressed native peoples and exploited resources, often through military intervention justified by lies. The document suggests major world events are carefully planned by secret societies to expand control of resources and surround geopolitical rivals like Russia and China.
Donald trump
The author, who lives in Europe, supports Donald Trump for several reasons despite Trump not being his president. First, Trump has not started any new wars as president, unlike previous presidents who introduced the US into costly wars in Libya and Syria. Second, the author does not support the Black Lives Matter movement or Antifa because their symbols and tactics resemble color revolutions organized by the CIA to overthrow regimes. Third, the border wall predates Trump and parts were constructed under Bush and reinforced under Clinton and Obama. Riots in Ferguson in 2014-2015 occurred under Obama with police violence, yet Trump never sent the military against protesters. Trump also initially wanted to close borders due to COVID-19 but was accused of racism.
Blowout of Iran's Nukes
Prime Minister Netanyahu gave a speech at the UN where he called out Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas as enemies of peace. He revealed details of a secret Iranian nuclear facility hidden inside a rug cleaning warehouse in Tehran, showing it has been developing nuclear weapons in violation of the Iran deal. The facility contained over 300 tons of nuclear equipment and material in 15 shipping containers. Netanyahu also exposed three secret missile sites in Lebanon near the Beirut airport. As Iran continues developing nuclear weapons and sponsoring terrorism, Israel and the US will not allow Iran to threaten Israel's existence or endanger the world. The alternative may be Israel taking military action to blow up Iran's nuclear weapons facilities itself.

The document discusses the changes that occurred in America after 9/11, including changes to domestic and foreign policy under Bush and Obama. It examines the official and unofficial explanations for the 9/11 attacks. It also analyzes the US response, including the creation of the 9/11 Commission, changes to government agencies, and the wars launched in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Is there still a terrorist threat?
1) While a terrorist threat is always possible, the likelihood of an attack in America is low based on the facts. If terrorists wanted to attack the US, they likely would have done so by now through methods like bombings or poisonings.
2) Intelligence estimates from 2002 indicated there were 5000 al Qaeda terrorists and supporters in the US, but the FBI has since arrested many and the threat has been reduced.
3) Dramatic attacks like 9/11 have increased global anti-terrorism efforts and made it harder for groups like al Qaeda to operate freely. The best approach is to assess the facts objectively and not be driven by fear.

The document discusses media coverage of terrorism and the War on Terrorism. It provides examples of media coverage of 9/11 and the US response. On 9/11, media coverage was chaotic as events unfolded but lacked meaningful context. In subsequent days, media reported intelligence linking Al Qaeda to the attacks. When the US declared war on terrorism on September 20th, media editorials urged building allies but warned of strengthening terrorist groups through indiscriminate military action. As the US invaded Afghanistan, media initially supported the mission but cautioned the need for care in military targets and awareness of political consequences in the Islamic world.

Chapter 5 Global Terrorism
NONSTATE ADVERSARIES, FUNDAMENTALIST RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM, AND WEAPONS ARE THREE FORCES OF GLOBAL TERRORISM, ALL REPRESENTED BY TALIBAN FIGHTERS IN AFGHANISTAN.
Learning Objectives
1. 5.1Recognize that terrorism is a contentious issue that becomes hopelessly muddled by political and military considerations
2. 5.2Review the factors that are conducive to terrorism
3. 5.3Identify the goals, strategies, and weapons of terrorism
4. 5.4Identify the sources of funds that are used for financing terrorism
5. 5.5Review how terrorism adversely affects individuals, nations, and other groups
6. 5.6Summarize five kinds of terrorism
7. 5.7Examine the different ways of combating terrorism
8. 5.8Analyze the fundamental question about the balance between fighting terrorism and protecting democracy within the United States
The Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013 and the grisly murder of an off-duty British soldier in public in London in May 2013 that was filmed on mobile phones as the terrorist waited for police demonstrate a further shift away from centralized terrorist organizations to lone wolf terrorism. This kind of terrorism is conducted by self-motivated independent individuals. The attacks in Boston and London show how difficult it is to prevent lone wolf terrorism.
Successful U.S. counterterrorism measures against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and in Pakistan, combined with failed democratic transitions in the Middle East and North Africa, have contributed to the shift of global terrorism to Africa. Domestic terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, which means “Western education is sacrilege,” in northern Nigeria, collaborate with al-Qaeda. The Syrian civil war, chaos in Iraq following the U.S. withdrawal, and the disintegration of law and order in Libya have strengthened terrorism, most notably the group called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which claimed credit for the November 13, 2015 terrorist massacre in Paris.
The growing use of armed drones for targeted killings of suspected terrorists in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Niger, and elsewhere raises many controversial issues. Drones are effective weapons against terrorists. Even though they kill fewer civilians than alternative methods, the loss of innocent civilian lives undermines their use.
Edward Snowden’s leaking of documents showing extensive spying on Americans as well as people and governments around the world by the National Security Agency (NSA) as part of America’s counterterrorism strategy raised global concerns about the basic right to privacy.
