Press TV has interviewed Ken O'Keefe, a peace activist and former US marine, from London, about James Clapper saying militants in Syria are preparing to attack Western countries.

- Talk to us about these comments. Would you consider this to be blowback for some Western countries that have either directly or indirectly aided these groups in Syria?

- This is really one of the greatest manipulations of all when we talk about blowback. It is not accidental. It is not unintentional. The good thing about terrorism from the point of view of the powers that be is that it justifies furthering the police state and ultimately carrying on this farcical war on terror.

Actually, much of the so-called terrorism we see in the world, with 9/11 being the perfect example, is not terrorism by...fanatics or people that we might have trained in Afghanistan many years ago.

In truth, it is the CIA, it is the FBI, it is Mossad and MI-6, agencies like this which carries out false-flag operations. Israeli fingerprints, Mossad fingerprints are all over 9/11.

The vast majority of so-called terrorism is not from religious fanatics who are doing it independently and organically on their own free will. Even when those people are using terrorism tactics, more often than not they’re being supplied with explosives and what-not from our own authorities.

I don’t see any accidents in these psychopaths in Syria being armed and trained. It’s very much welcomed by the powers that be that they’ll come back to Europe and the United States and carry out acts of terrorism.

- So you think that even announcements such as this would ultimately be exploited for their own benefits?

- Well, indeed. That’s exactly what’s going to happen. I have no doubt whatsoever that unless some of these psychopaths do in fact come back to the Western countries where they originate from and carry out acts of terrorism, which is desirable from the point of view of the powers that be, again to justify the farcical war on terror and to maintain even further tyrannical powers to centralize power even further and take away even more power from the people to increase the police state - if these psychopaths don’t do it of their own free will, rest assured the MI-6, CIA or Mossad will carry out more false-flag operations to justify the same agenda.
