The dark brothers certainly recognise no spiritual law or any human ones. Though they certainly have to discern strict adherence and obedience to their officers and informing, demanding superiors. Largely they work blindly and under some form of instinctual fear of those above them. You make the great observation of the criminal types, who are definitely under their influence, many of who are obsessed or overshadowed by undesirable entities of varying degree. Suicide bombers are a great example of this, as are all terrorist activists. This should be definitely taken into account by us all.

The entity, which overshadowed the likes of Hitler and his many cohorts, were powerful black magicians using them quite purposefully and with great occult knowledge of a corruptive and inverted type. Yes they assuredly are around now I would venture, because this is the great catastrophe which happened when the "door" to cosmic evil was re opened. RE suicide bombings again, Agni Yoga informs us that suicide is the gravest offence against the subtle body and the bad karma incurred must be enormous, not to mention the murder of all others, it does not bear thinking about.

Again, the karma incurred for the dispossessed soul is very great, presumably for allowing it to happen in the first place. Yet even western students argue that the likes of Bin laden and followers are in possession of their right minds. They are possessed with murderous and evil inclination, yet such modern students try to argue; "why they hate us" There is no excuse for obsession. We should remember that DK tells us Allied soldiers do not commit murder it is purely the destruction of old forms in line with the will of shamballa.

“Their plan" is not in line with the plan of hierarchy; I have yet to see any Christian suicide bombers or aircraft hijackers. About the condemning of USA for all those vetoes over Israel. Well I think I covered my questions over the Zionist movement quite sternly, and therefore in that light but with some sympathy, I do think the UN is guilty of being to harsh on the Jews in some instances. Also yes I think I do remember Iran stating their intention to eliminate them. Whilst the UN within days were saying something similar about their rights. That was a great irony and I also remember at the time someone saying Hitler would of loved that. What a strange and karmicly complicated world we live in. And it's all our fault! We must recall that the Zionist question is a "psychological one" and when that is addressed as it is being so today, when that is resolved enough, all this terrorism and "black plan" will fade away.

The plan in opposition to the hierarchal plan is indeed the plan as proposed, mapped out, and acted upon by the hierarchy of the black lodge. Let us not be so naive as to think they have no plan. DK and MM informs us that they are generally more disciplined and ordered regarding their plans, which are far more advanced in manifestation than are the white lodges. Now if we are at a crucial point of trying to attain the point of balance for the externalisation of the masters, we should surely give the dark brothers credit that they will have plans to stop or slow this. They have a manifesto as carried out by their puppets; they showed their "decision" at 911 around the time the Chohans of light were making theirs. That much is not hard to figure. I think we should all take into account that their plans run counter to the spiritual hierarchy and are along the lines of destruction. JPC.

Suicide Bombing and self destruction:

Suicide of the earthly body is the prototype of self-wounding of the fiery body. FW2 182.

Suicide is a profanation against the heart, and the extreme limit of ignorance. A premeditated murder is likewise against the heart. HEART 592.

Certain insects and reptiles choose to perish, only to be able to bite and release their poison. Similarly, the servitors of darkness are ready for the most disagreeable consequences, if only they may create poisonous evil. One must firmly remember these creators of evil, who often do not spare even themselves for an evil deed.

Many instances can be revealed of the carrying out nevertheless under the suggestions of the dark ones of a premeditated evil that could not be advantageous to the evildoer himself. The devices of the dark ones must be exposed. For example, sometimes one finds in the vicinity of certain places corpses of some people or animals.

The dark ones know that for the attraction of the forces of the lower spheres decomposition is necessary, and they ingeniously arrange such centers of confusion and decay. FW2 69.

JPC: One of course recalls the mass graves of Nazi concentration camps, Pol Pot’s Cambodian killing fields in the 1970s, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Non-affirmation of the Higher World is self-destruction. FW2 467.

The most frightful bane of humanity is self-destruction for the sake of obvious selfhood.

A man who affirms that in serving his own ideal he must destroy all others not coinciding with his path, is a destroyer of the fundamentals of evolution.

The Cosmos requires expression of all that exists, and on the spiritual plane equalization cannot take place. All the higher Teachings have in their foundation the same Source, and will not destroy that which serves as spiritual food.

Verily, he who demands the equalizing of all fundamentals, of all Teachings, reduces each great fundamental to dust. The scales do not waver much between atheism and hypocrisy. Thus, on the path to the Fiery World let us remember who tears down the foundations of construction. FW3 387.

When the striving of despotic conquerors was asserted under the law of egotism, man sank into a sphere of restrictions, and darkness propelled him toward self-destruction. The path of self-destruction leads to the lower spheres. INF2 142.

Urusvati knows the true meaning of self-destruction. Certain two-legged ones, thinking only of the physical, earthly world, consider it just another form of homicide. They are unaware of a worse crime—that of psychic destruction. Only very few understand that self-destruction is, in its essence, psychic murder. SMD4 884.

Urusvati knows the true meaning of self-destruction. To a yogi all kinds of suicide are alien. A yogi understands the great harm of the premature ending of one’s own life. A yogi understands to what extent he can harm not only himself but also his entire surroundings. Each violence against life is a disturbance of harmony, and heavy is the price for any attempt against the rhythm of cosmic order. SMD4 893.

Suicide bombing: Desperate tactic

Almost a week later in the Middle East, after an uneasy truce, the militant Palestinian group Islamic Jihad sent an 18-year-old on a suicide mission in the Israeli coastal town of Netanya.

In Iraq, more than 1,200 people have died since May - mostly as a direct result of suicide attacks.

The 21st Century appears to have no shortage of men and women who are willing to kill themselves for a cause.

Most are young - late teens to early 20s - and gripped by the belief that "martyrdom" will bring an after-life of divine rewards.

This is a deadly breed of militant which the defences of the mightiest appear almost too flimsy to resist - as the whole world was able to observe on 11 September 2001 in the US.

Old tactic

The use of the suicide bomber is not new - their increased intensity is.

World history is littered with instances of glorification of human sacrifice in the service of a greater principle - even though most cultures are horrified at someone keen to kill himself or herself in order to kill others.

From the Spartans to the Romans and until the Middle Ages people died in assassination attacks.

Once we have warplanes and missiles, then we can think of changing our means of legitimate self-defence

Sheikh Yassin Late Hamas leader

The practice was re-invented when Japanese kamikaze pilots flew their planes into US ships towards the end of World War II, experienced a lull for a few decades to re-emerge in Lebanon in the 1980s with the Hezbollah groups fighting the Israeli army.

It went on to be adopted by Palestinian militants in the Occupied Territories in the late 1980s and, in a sense, came of age with the start of the Palestinian intifada in 2000.

In between, it was used by fundamentalist Kurds against Turkish targets, Chechens against Russians - but flourished when applied by Tamil Tiger rebels fighting against Sri Lankan forces.

The Tamil Tigers, in fact, are believed to be responsible for one of the greatest waves of suicide bombings in world history. Among their victims was former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi - killed in 1991 by a woman bomber.

Asymmetric warfare

Ever since 11 September 2001, military and political analysts have mooted the concept of "asymmetric warfare" to explain the rise of suicide bombing.

In classical terms, it means that rebel insurgents unable to fight a conventional war have to resort to guerrilla tactics against powerful states.

JPC: I would point out that the flying of passenger aircraft into huge buildings i.e. twin towers and pentagon are exact duplication as near as is possible to the planned New York atomic bombing by the Nazis and the Japanese in WW2. Also equivalent to V2 rocket bombing of London.  End.

These methods range from suicide bombings to weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and cyber warfare.

In sum, the current spate of suicide bombings is an expression of desperation by groups unable to reach their political and military objectives through conventional means, analysts say.

Bombers targets symbols of power

And whilst being a cost-effective means of war - compared to a large-scale military operation - many argue that the tactic has usually not brought the desired results.

To illustrate, they point to the election of the right-wing Likud Party of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in response to the Palestinian bombs.

But, as the assassinated leader of Hamas once argued, the Palestinian militants would continue using suicide bombers.

"Once we have warplanes and missiles, then we can think of changing our means of legitimate self-defence," Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was quoted as saying in the book Dying to Kill: The Allure of Suicide Terror.

Martyrdom hopes

In March 2004, 15-year-old Hussam Abdo took up his own small place in the imagery of the Middle East conflict.

He was arrested by Israeli troops before detonating his charge.

A tiny figure inside an Israeli jail, he told the BBC's James Reynolds why he had decided to become a suicide bomber.

The first reason I became a suicide bomber was because my friend was killed. The second reason I did it is because I didn't want to go to school

"The reason was because my friend was killed," he said.

"The second reason I did it is because I didn't want to go to school."

Hussam Abdo went on to deny it was suicide - "it's martyrdom", he said.

"I would become a martyr and go to my God. It's better than being a singer or a footballer. It's better than everything."

In a similar vein, a Chechen woman told the BBC in 2003 how she had parted company with her 18-month-old daughter to become a "black widow" - one of those whose husbands had been killed in the war with Russia and who had decided to become suicide bombers.

Islam expressly prohibits suicide bombing - but there is a long tradition of venerating the martyr who dies fighting for God's cause.

Video-taped testimonies of Palestinian bombers are replete with references to a blissful paradise awaiting them.

But this is not the only motivation, researchers say.

The bombers expect to be remembered as heroic figures, says Christoph Reuter in his book My Life is a Weapon: A Modern History of Suicide Bombing.

But they usually have no say in how they will die - their superiors decide on the mission, sometimes giving the bombers only a few minutes' notice. bbc report.

Islamic Suicide Bombers
First of all, suicide bombers act on a much smaller scale then the Japanese kamikazes did. Like the kamikazes who were government funded, the families of Islamic suicide bombers are also paid. The Iraqi government paid $20,000 US to the family of the dead terrorist. Although religious nationalism and paradise is at the heart of the decision to blow themselves up, the monetary incentive cause no regret because money is promised for their families after they die. Not a bad life insurance plan, especially since most are dirt poor and get paid a lot of money. Some people even get there lives upgraded, spending a year in luxury before executing their mission and dying. The Islamic people who become terrorists (suicide bombers) are generally poor uneducated people. This means religious fanatic clerics or leaders can gather these young gullible people who are hungry for direction, to themselves and teach them to hate non-muslims. Now since these are generally small groups or “cells” so they obviously don’t have the resources to wage open war. So they have someone strap some C-4 to their bodies then run into a shop or bus and blow them selves up. They feel this is more effective for many reasons; it defiantly casts a lot of terror, and it calls enough attention to them that the bigger countries cannot ignore them. Also because the terrorists are so spread out and act and communicate in small groups it is very hard to target and eliminate them.

Islam plays a major part in influencing the suicide bombers. Though, the holy book of Islam, the Koran, is very conflicting on these grounds. For example chapter 5:82 in the Koran says “you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians.” So Muhammad is saying right there to trust and befriend Christians. Yet! In that same chapter an earlier verse 51 says “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” The conflicting inaccuracies of the Koran allow for the private interpretation to read into it whatever one desires. That means people who follow the Koran can pretty much do what they want and claim it was commanded by Allah. The poor, young, and often hungry people who become suicide bombers grow up knowing nothing but what they are told, they can’t afford a TV, and probably can’t read much either. Children are taught in the official grade school curriculum of Palestine that Israel doesn't have the right to exist on a map. Having the support of public education, terrorist leaders find it easy to turn children into suicide bombers with a love Allah and hatred for the infidels, generally Americans and their allies. The Koran says in verse 4:74 that those who fight for Allah will go to paradise. “Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell this world's life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward.” Not only do these potential suicide bombers who can’t find any real meaning for their lives, love Allah and hate infidels, but now believe they if they fight they will go to a glorious paradise to have their own harem of 72 black eyed virgins.

There are many small, secret camps in the Middle East where terrorist leaders train their recruits. With minimal instruction and maximum brainwashing (that began in elementary school), they are taught to get past security, what targets are most effective to hit, how to use the explosives, and anything else that may be relevant to the mission. The tactics they use have blown up shops, restaurants, busses, and well as the two tallest buildings in the world. The daily terror plus the occasional high profile targets let us know that no place or person is completely safe.

The Islamic terrorists are without honor in our eyes, attacking civilians in peacetime with unconventional tactics without warning. Yet in the eyes of the terrorists, they are honorable. Except there are many Muslim people who strongly disagree with the terrorists and suicide bombers. What is honorable versus what is un-honorable is almost always a matter of perspective since we are all flawed beings.

Suicide bombing is part of a much bigger category called Unconventional Warfare. Unconventional warfare is where a country, army, or groups uses tactics in war that have not been seen before. Examples would be Hannibal using elephants against the Romans, the British using the smallpox against Indians, and Japanese kamikazes purposely crashing into American ships. Desperation is generally what starts this, forces that have no chance in a real battle like the Mongols, Palestinians, and Japanese navy find a way to turn their disadvantages into advantages using the resources they have at hand. No-matter how much we know or think we know of warfare, someone someday will think of new unconventional tactics to use. www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/essays/comp/cw34suicidebomberkamikaze

_{Japan's Suicide Pilots of World War II}
Kamikaze
^1944-1945

Transcend life and death. When you eliminate all thoughts about life and death, you will be able to totally disregard your earthly life. This will also enable you to concentrate your attention on eradicating the enemy with unwavering determination, meanwhile reinforcing your excellence in flight skills.

- A paragraph from the Kamikaze pilot's manual, located in their cockpits.

In the year 1281, Japan was under attack by a Mongol invasion — led by the powerful Kublai Khan. However, just as it appeared that the invading Mongols were about to overwhelm the Japanese, a catastrophic typhoon swept through the land, eliminating the entire Mongol army. From that point on, the typhoon that saved Japan became known as the Kamikaze or Divine Wind.

Background

After the defeat at the Battle of Midway, and the fall of Saipanin July 1944, the Japanese revived the name Kamikaze and ascribed it to the suicide missions of their air force.

Japanese Vice Admiral Takashiro Ohnishi, commander of the First Air Fleet in the Philippines, had noted that the most effective way to inflict damage upon Allied warships was to crash planes into them. He noted that one accidental crash could do more damage than 10 planes firing machine guns. It was decided then that pilots would purposely crash their planes — with half a ton of explosives — into American warships.

The Kamikaze pilot

Generally, Kamikaze pilots were university students motivated by obligation, and loyalty to family and country. A typical pilot was a science student in his twenties. He prepared for his fiery destiny by writing farewell letters and poems to loved ones, receiving a "thousand-stitch sash*," and by holding a ceremony — a drink of water that gave him a "spiritual lifting" before wedging himself between 550-pound bombs.

It was adamantly believed that, because they were fighting for their Emperor God, the Kamikaze would bring them deliverance at the darkest hour, just as it had in the 13th century. In fact, the call for Kamikaze pilots drew a staggering response. Three times as many applied for suicide flights as the number of planes available. Experienced pilots were turned down. They were needed to train the younger men how to fly to their deaths.

The fact that they were to go on suicide missions was accepted without question by the Japanese pilots. All inductees into the Japanese armed forces were indoctrinated with the following five-point oath:

A soldier must make loyalty his obligation.

A soldier must make propriety his way of life.

A soldier must highly esteem military valor.

A soldier must have a high regard for righteousness.

A soldier must live a simple life.

The Mitsubishi A6M2

Nicknamed the "Zero," the Mitsubishi A6M2 was the Kamikaze pilot's personal "flying coffin." It had a maximum speed of 332 mph and a range of 1,930 miles. The A6M2 was 29 feet nine inches long, with a wingspan of about 39 feet. The aircraft was armed with two machine guns and could carry 264 pounds of bombs; however, the Japanese modified its structure to accommodate a heavier arsenal. The Zero was the main strike aircraft used at Pearl Harbor — dominating the skies during the early stages of World War II. A large number were shot down during the Battle of Midway, and it eventually became outperformed by the latest allied aircraft, such as the P-51 Mustang.

First attacks

Beginning with the Pearl Harbor Attack, Japanese suicide bombers sporadically crashed their planes into the enemy as a spur-of-the-moment decision.

On October 21, 1944, the flagship of the Royal Australian Navy, the heavy cruiser HMAS Australia, was hit by a Japanese plane carrying a 441-pound bomb, off Leyte Island. Although the bomb did not explode, the damage was devastating — killing at least 30 crew members.

On October 25, the Australia was hit again and was forced to retire to the New Hebrides for repairs. That same day, five Zeros attacked a U.S. escort carrier, the USS St. Lo off the Philippines coast, although only one Kamikaze actually hit the ship. Its bomb caused massive fires that resulted in the ship's bomb magazine exploding, sinking the carrier. Japanese pilots also hit and damaged several other Allied ships.

The initial successes of those attacks sparked an immediate expansion of the program. During the next few months, more than 2,000 planes staged such attacks. Those included new types of suicide attacks and explosives, including purpose-built Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka rocket-bombs, small boats packed with explosives, and manned torpedoes (equipped with a 3000-pound warhead) called the Kaiten.

Iwo Jima and Okinawa

On February 19th, 1945, the USS Enterprise and other carriers took up stations off Iwo Jima, attacking nearby enemy airfields, and providing close air support for the Marines that landed. By the time the marines unfurled the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima's summit, Kamikaze attacks had sunk the escort flattop Bismarck Sea CVE-95, knocked the USS Saratoga CV 3 out of the war for good, and temporarily halted the Enterprise — all while regularly harassing amphibious forces at the beachhead.

The day of April 6th, 1945, proved to be most telling for the use of Kamikazes in the battle for Okinawa. More than 350 aircraft at a time dove at the Allied fleet. Just the anticipation of Kamikaze attacks drove some American sailors literally insane. The destroyer Laffey was attacked by 20 aircraft at once. Her gunners stopped nine Kamikazes, but six others rammed into the ship. As on the similarly damaged USS Franklin, ineffable courage, and intensive training in firefighting, kept the Laffey afloat.

On the 7th of April, Kamikazes were still attacking in great numbers off the coast of Okinawa, severely damaging the carrier Hancock. By April 16th, suicide bombers desperately, but effectively damaged the USS Enterprise yet again, as well as the flattop USS Intrepid, and numerous picket destroyers were sunk or damaged. Admiral Marc A. Mitscher led Task Force 58 from his flagship, the carrier Bunker Hill CV-17. On May 11th, 1945, the flagship was hit by a Kamikaze pilot that killed 350 of his men.

The final Japanese defense of Okinawa was hard fought. For the Americans, victory brought a heavy price. The capture of Okinawa cost the Americans 49,000 in casualties, of whom 12,520 died. More than 110,000 Japanese were killed on the island. When it was clear that he had been defeated, General Mitsuru Ushijima committed ritual suicide (hara-kiri).

War's end

From October 25, 1944, to January 25, 1945, Kamikazes managed to sink two escort carriers and three destroyers. They also damaged 23 carriers, five battleships, nine cruisers, 23 destroyers and 27 other ships. American casualties amounted to 738 killed and another 1,300 wounded as the result of those attacks.

Several thousand Kamikaze planes had been set aside for an invasion of the Japanese mainland that never happened. Kamikaze pilots were one of the reasons President Harry S. Truman decided to drop the atomic bombs.

On the eve of the Japanese surrender, Takijiro Onishi ended his own life, leaving a note of apology to his dead pilots — their sacrifice had been in vain. www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1740.
