| Ralph Peters: 'We'll have small scale terror attacks unless we turn into a police state' |
| 2017-04-23 |
| [Right Scoop] Ralph Peters had another great interview, this time on The non-O’Reilly Factor with Greg Gutfeld. He explains why we’re bound to continue to have small scale terror attacks in a free society, unless we abandon freedom and turn into a police state. Peters makes it clear that he wants to destroy every terrorist, but he thinks this is just a reality we have to deal with. He also goes on a mini-rant about what a "nutcase" Marine Le Pen is. She’s the far right alt-right favorite in the French election, and she’s only down by a few points with a terror attack that might help boost her into the French presidency.... |

| #13 It is utter nonsense that we need to give up freedom to fight terrorism. What we need to give up is privacy. And this applies to combating all forms of crime. I sometimes think that many of those who promote privacy do so precisely because it is so damaging to our societies. |

| #12 'Nob' as in Nobility? No, I really don't think the term applies to Peters. Recovering intelligence analyst more likely. |

| #10 Mr Peters probably thinks a police state is what's needed in the situation, from what I've read of his commentary. |

| #6 I'm surprised Peters is going this route. Missing all these years, and still, is a strategic "counter-narrative" against Jihad itself. Here is a candidate: http://theological-geography.net/?p=28938 |

| #5 Mumbai wouldn't have been nearly as bad had the jihadis had to worry about gunmen everywhere. We don't need a police state -- we need our inherent right to self-defense respected. Turning off the flood from the Third World, admitting the truth about Islam, and recognizing we're all better off as free citizens of Western Civilization than as subjects in some leftist fantasy will take care of the rest of the problem. |

| #4 A "police state" is a large scale and continuous terror operation, replacing politics almost completely. |

| #3 He also goes on a mini-rant about what a "nutcase" Marine Le Pen is. The reason we're facing the prospect of these attacks is because we've allowed a flood of these animals into the West. If the "respectables" won't do anything about the problem, then the deplorables will. |

| #2 Or... stop letting any one into the country that does not wish to participate and protect western civilization mores and rules. |
