Only one Soldier Pvt Kirifi Mila was a Samoan killed in Afghanistan whilst serving in the New Zealand Army within the Infantry Corp.

Over 2,000 Samoans served in the Global War on Terror. 2,000 Samoan military servicemen who had seen action in the global war on terror, out of a global population of less than 500,000 Samoans, this represents the largest percentage of military servicemen per head of population who have served in the global war on terror compared to any other race on the planet.
Of this 2,000 Samoans 23 were KIA making the Samoans as having the highest casualty rate of any race in the recent global war on terror.

4 lions Full Movie: Understanding homegrown radicalisation. By Tim Tufuga

https://youtu.be/xtQMzUTB3iI (copy and paste)

In this black humour satire of what would otherwise be best described as an ordinary project-dwelling Boofheads, would seek a religious higher calling, through Jihadism. Although, this appears to be extreme black humour it does illustrate the seemingly atypical racial profile of the purported foreign source of radicalised Jihadism violence, purportedly sourced from an influx of foreign fighters into Western societies. Although, this movie was released as far back as 2010, the recent Boston Marathon, the Paris and Brussels, attacks seem to have drawn relevant comparisons to the British Black comedy movie and may even be considered as prophetic.

Understanding radicalisation of the culturally and ethnically estranged minorities, as in this instance, Middle Eastern, African and Indian minorities, within European and most Western Societies. The reverse would be countered and exacerbated by the ultra-reactionary Nationalist movements and political organisations from the mainstream societies. In short, the crux would be the dichotomised and often adversarial relationship between Multiculturalism and Assimilationist homogenisation elements from the mainstream of society.

In the New World, such as the Americas, and South Pacific (Oceania) outside of this Eurocentric problem, in the Americas and Oceania, the indigenous cultures are clearly marginalised by the majority colonialization cultures, including the power sapping influences from the pluralistic pursuit for limited power resources from multicultural groups, and subsequently, the First Nations peoples from the Americas and the South Pacific, would represent the third dimension in the three tiered sources of social anxieties within most Western cultures today.

In the meantime, in the Four Lions movie, above we see a caricature example of localised British Boofhead locals suddenly radicalised by a nascent religious epiphany which would manifest their pepped up subcultural oppressed rage and would feel compelled to put into action, in violence, this rage.

Molenbeek, Belgium, a likely cause for homegrown terrorism. By Tim Tufuga.

Molenbeek, Belgium. (1)

The case of ghettoisation, social isolation, social pariahship, and sowing the seeds for homegrown terrorism.

Belgium has been a country renowned for its localised Dutch influenced Flemish community, and in this instance, particularly within the Flanders region, which have, traditionally, been known for their outspokenly xenophobic sentiments. Organisations such as the Vlaams Blok (2), have long been known for sowing the seeds for anti-Multiculturalism hatred stemmed from the very active and prevalent Flemish right wing organisations which would include the Vlaams Blok. Vlaams Blok formulated in the late 1970s was particularly anti-centralist Europe and was acutely anti-Multiculturalism. The Flemish right wing organisation was borne out of the conservative right wing Flanders region of Belgium and have had a Dutch heritage which detest the European Union and the Multicultualist open door policies that came with this EU.

In Molenbeek a small densely populated almost dysfunctional outskirt municipality out of Brussels, would not be famous or infamous, if it weren't for a couple of notorious brothers who partook in the recent Paris attacks. Molenbeek, is a municipality, in the outskirts of Belgium, which was traditionally an industrial estate area, with working class Belgians. Until recently, an influx of Morrocan immigrants had established a multicultural population of mainly Muslim Arabs from the African continent.

The Muslim Morrocan population steadily increased to around forty population of Molenbeek’s 95,000 local inhabitants. With the rise of unemployment, social dislocation, racial profiling intermingled with a very strong xenophobic local population, the powder keg for racial hatred would undoubtedly flare up sooner rather than later.

The Enoch Powell (3), ominous foreboding of a River Tiber awash with the blood of racial hatred seems to have been inadvertently contrived by a xenophobic Flemish community, particularly supporters ad or members of the Vlaams Blok, from within the Flanders region, whom would long ago had already set the course for the present day crisis and flame the fire that would be the Jihadist weltgeist that has spread throughout the world today. We know this as the Global War on Terror. A euphemism for the vacuum created with the absence of a Communist Iron Curtain, and the Islamic Phantom to fill in this void.

Meanwhile, at grass roots level, the root causes of social disquiet is not some far off Oil rich Middle Eastern country whose exploited natural resources has caused the present social unrest in Molenbeek. Instead, an ever more present crisis has been the lack of equal opportunities to civil rights, employment, accesses to an qualitative improved lifestyle and opportunities which has led to frustrated marginalised people which just so happen to be Morrocan Arabs, some 40% of them living in Molenbeek.

The social anxieties of a localised social concern suddenly becomes part of a global Jihadist narrative. This is fueled no doubt by what the media and local community want to believe. Sensationalism and weltgeist trend setting makes for social media memes and a shared sense of tragedy which would encourage more acts of terrorism rather than deterring the phenomena from happening. People seem to be drawn to the tragedy and although it is shocking it stops the press and the world takes notice even if for a momentary headline.
Meanwhile, no names no hopers are suddenly thrust to the global limelight, and previously no hopers are suddenly infamous. Infamy, in fact, does have its appeal.

Meanwhile, people have overlook the obvious. What was the root cause of sowing the seeds of this social outrage. The obvious seems to be overlooked, without applying the Occums Razor in this counter terrorism analysis, people will overlook the trees within the woods, when it comes to preconceived prejudices.

Molenbeek, however, will now be forever known for two people and they have spoken out loud about their social anxieties and the media will obviously ignore the obvious and will focus on the present day weltgeist, Global Jihadism and a global Crusade for a Christian versus Muslim self-righteous conflict, to blur the obvious problems of social and community dysfunctionalism.

Who are these locals who arose from some welfare dependent Molenbeek projects? We now them not as local unemployed angry young no hopers who have reacted to the social disquiet which would create a conducive environmental powderkeg atmosphere in the form of two angry and passionate zealots of the likes of Brahim Abdeslam, and his brother Salah Abdeslam, and the many who will undoubtedly follow them perhaps from the same area. The racial profile seems predictable enough. Both were easily coaxed into becoming Actuals they were gullible and fragile enough to be activated, they were both of Morrocan descent, and, they were the post colonial products of former French and other European conquest into Africa. Unlike the present narrative which is politically popular amongst the Vlaams Blok xenophobic right wing elements throughout Europe and elsewhere, they were not displaced and landless Syrians.

The root cause of the present day European crisis is locals jumping on the Weltgeist bandwagon of a trend that fits in well for the right wing narratives against multiculturalism and internationalism and one that fits into the xenophobic and a siege mentality Europe and elsewhere for that matter.

The paradox seems befitting, in that, whilst the world becomes an ever decreasing global village, with the digital age, along with economic free trade agreements, the reactions to this digital age and liberalisation is the creation of Islamic Spectre larger than it really is so as to give the right wing and nationalism some relevance in a time when globalisation no longer recognises economic and geographic boundaries anymore save only language, cultural elements and people.

The Stockholm Syndrome: The case of Lucas Finney, By Tim Tufuga 26th Feb, 2016.

The Stockholm Syndrome: The case of Lucas Finney, By Tim Tufuga 26th Feb, 2016.

The case of Lucas Finney likened to the TV series Homeland reveals the classic case of the Stockholm Syndrome or capture-bonding between a hostage and his abductors. In Lucas Finney’s case, like the TV series anti-hero character Sargeant Nicholas Brody, USMC, the hostage converts to Islam and becomes bonded with his abductors cause. In Lucas Finney’s situation he was captured in Afghanistan and subsequently he had converted to Islam, and married a Syrian wife, whom had recently given birth to a child.
Source: The Independent

Lucas Finney’s particular case represents an extreme example of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from a victim of kidnapping and capture, whom has, subsequently, been converted into the abductors cause. Often such a case requires remedial attention for people suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome which would certainly be considered as a more pervasive and often undetectable national security risk for a host nation. In particular, considering that their would be national security threat would be a least likely suspect.

Sleepers cells, within non-Islamic countries may, subsequently, would have the most potent weapon with the recruitment of former detainees, whom have subsequently converted into their cause and when required would become activated and weaponised as Actuals.

The Stockholm Syndrome is the most deadly force for the enemies of any National State and more lethal than a Fedayeen within their own Middle Eastern regional area of conflict, and, well within their own Islamic Caliphate spheres of influence.

The returned servicemen and women who have served in combat zones and in particular those who have been captured and detained are upon their return to the civilian community are diagnosed for any symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), however, latent and innocuous it may seem, they will consider the Stockholm Syndrome on a risk scale of the most lethal outcomes of extreme PTSD, and at the highest risk level is, indeed, the Stockholm Syndrome.
Needless to say, Lucas Finney may correctly be considered as a typical example of a victim of the Stockholm Syndrome, likened to the TV series, Homeland’s Sargeant Brodie, he should have been detained and interned within a controlled environment before he would become a real National Security threat to people and nations in which people like him who are in effect weaponised lethal human ordinances.

From a National Security threat level at its highest, most activated sleepers would come from PTSD victims and in particular those who display symptoms of the Stockholm Syndrome.

Prime Minister and Minister for Defence – 2016 Defence White Paper

Prime Minister and Minister for Defence – 2016 Defence White Paper
25 February 2016

The 2016 White Paper is a comprehensive and responsible long-term plan to ensure Australia’s national security.

It is the culmination of detailed analysis of our strategic environment, our defence priorities and objectives, and the capabilities required to achieve these outcomes.

For the first time, the White Paper released today by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Defence Minister Marise Payne fully aligns strategy, capability and resources to make the Australian Defence Force (ADF) more capable, agile and potent.

The Turnbull Government is increasing Defence spending by $29.9 billion over the next decade.

The defence strategy and capability plans have been independently costed to ensure they are achievable and affordable.

The Turnbull Government has also set a new benchmark for transparency and funding certainty by releasing an Integrated Investment Program and Defence Industry Policy Statement.

The fully costed, ten-year Integrated Investment Program brings together all capability-related investment including new weapons, platforms, infrastructure and science and technology.

The Defence Industry Policy Statement will transform Defence’s relationship with industry.

The Turnbull Government will invest $1.6 billion over 10 years in programs to build industry skills, drive competitiveness and export potential while harnessing Australian innovation and expertise.

These investments in Australian industry and technologies will generate benefits beyond the Australian defence industrial base which flow into the rest of the economy, delivering jobs and encouraging innovation for regional businesses and communities across Australia.

The implementation of the First Principles Review of Defence and the organisation’s ongoing commitment to cultural reform will be critical to realising the Turnbull Government’s White Paper goals.

The White Paper recognises Australia’s security and prosperity is directly tied to the stability of our region and to the maintenance of a stable, rules-based global order.

In the period to 2035, Australia will have greater opportunities for prosperity and development but it will also face greater uncertainty. We need to be prepared.

The White Paper positions Defence to respond to a broader range of security threats to Australians at home and abroad.

The Government will invest in new capability across the ADF including:

A continuous naval shipbuilding program commencing with nine future frigates and 12 offshore patrol vessels.
12 new regionally-superior submarines, with the commitment to maximise Australian industry involvement in acquisition and sustainment, to be finalised through the Competitive Evaluation Process.
Enhanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, space, electronic warfare and cyber capabilities.
Advanced training, modern equipment, health care and logistics systems to support ADF personnel.
Comprehensive upgrades to Defence infrastructure across Australia to support our larger future force, including key bases, training and testing ranges and fuel and explosive ordnance facilities.
Modernised information management, operational communications, and command and control systems.
Australians can be confident the Turnbull Government will continue to deliver on its most important task – defending our nation and protecting and promoting our national interests.

Bioterrorism: The Zika Virus as a psychological and biological genetic weapon: target: Third world nations and races? By Tim Tufuga

The United States President has announced the commitment of $1.8 Billion in combating the Zika Virus and to stop it at its tracks. Evidently, the urgency and the enormity of the financial commitment by the United States government reveals the seriousness of the virus.

Conspiracy theorists have come up with various conspiracy of an Aryan Fascist Bioterrorist act, to Bill Gates offer material support for the Zika Virus spread, as according to Dahboo7, from the Underground World News, to Maddie Stone and her Rockefeller Foundation involvement with the development of a weapon for genetic warfare. To the direct involvement of a Bio-Chemical company Oxitec, with the release of a GMO Mosquito infected with the Zika Virus in the Brazilian Amazon jungles. Or, a very successful hoax contrived by racialist groups aiming to spread a bioterrorist meme, with very convincing effect.

Whatever the speculative theory, what seems to be an established truism is the fear and uncertainty being felt by an entire populations within vulnerable South Pacific countries, like Samoa and Tonga, which have been adversely affected directly by the threat of the Zika Virus pandemic.

In support of the Genetic weaponisation of the Zika Virus, however, may be sourced with the recent reports of the Zika Virus pandemic affecting the hub of the Polynesian races from Samoa and Tonga. What does seemed to be implausible was confirmed, with the improbability of the geo-spatial linkage of the Zika Virus to the isolated locales of the South Pacific Nations, reports of Zika virus infected patients were reported by government sources. The conspiracy theory of a genetic weaponed being weaponsised and in support of a bioterrorist action within the South Pacific Nations now seems plausible.

The possibility of the virus spreading to the South Pacific would only be considered through human to human contact and this could only be through sexual contact. However, in stating that the viral infection were sexually transmitted, then it is more likely that individuals would be easily isolated like HIV patients. What seemed to be incredulous was the report that 259 suspected infected patients within Tonga which has astounded the medical scientific world. In response, the Australian federal government had announced a commitment of $500,000 to the Tonga government in order to conduct further medical research and to quarantine the patients.

If, the reports of the rapidity of the spread of the Zika Virus as an uncontrolled pandemic were as wide spread as it seems to be by the mainstream and social media, then as a genetic weapon, the Zika Virus will indeed threaten the very existence of the Samoan and Tongan race. It is a genetic disease and will effectively reduce the cranium and the subsequently the brain of new born babies. The head shrinkage is known as Microcephaly. The obvious diagnosis is severe brain damaged children and the physical problems include visual impediments. Therefore, an entire generation of retarded people will result. Such a result for a South Pacific Nation as Samoa whose sparse population of less than 200,000 and Tonga's 130,000 population will be devastating. In reality, the Zika virus is tantamount to ethnic extermination. Therefore, if the Zika virus was indeed considered as a bioterrorist weapon, then the eradication of the Samoan and Tongan race has become in earnest.

Recently, a passenger from Samoa had arrived at the Brisbane airport and was taken to the local hospital and was subsequently diagnosed with the Zika virus. The Australian governments, both federal and state governments, had announced a contingent response of controlled containment of this viral infection.

It seems incredulous that South Pacific Nations, such as Samoa and Tonga, could possibly be affected, and infected, by such a virulent and lethal Zika Viral pandemic, which would support the respective Conspiracy theorists to some substantive degree.

Conversely, however, considering the high value suspect of the Aedes Aegypti Mosquito, it is highly unlikely that this mosquito were able to reach Samoa or Tonga let alone Australia on its own. Why? Because, of the obvious improbability of the Mosquito arriving in Samoa, Tonga and North Queensland or elsewhere in the South Pacific. Then how do we explain the Tongan case? it can not be possible to spread the Zika Virus through sexual contact so rapidly so as to affect 259 Tongans. Therefore, a conspiracy theory of an act of bioterrorism seems to bode well in this instance.

Consequently, the idea that the virus would become a Welgeist in instilling a psychological scare throughout the South Pacific and throughout the world has truly succeeded in this regard.
