[6.3] Psychological Profile of a Terrorist Assignment Write a psychological profile of a particular terrorist or terrorism group (past or present). There is a two-page limit to this written assignment. I considered choosing a traditional group like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, or something more homegrown like the Oklahoma City bombers, but then my brother made a recommendation and with some research it fits. The American Founding Fathers. Rebellious, destructive, motivation of religious and political freedoms, and a deep need for a change in owners from their government and mother land, Britain. Quick checklist for some typical reasons terrorist groups are formed in reference to the early USA. The colonies were experiencing financial hardship via overtaxed goods and services, in response the infamous Boston Tea Party. The Founding fathers believing the option to believe and practice what religion or faith you want beyond the King’s Bible is vital to the formation of a new nation, absolutely. Seeing that bureaucratic and peaceful means for change fail repeatedly and through various channels since the inception of the colonies; all the way. To take a line from Clausewitz, with war being the extension of politics by other means, this decree rang true, and Britain was having none of it at time, so much so that other major powers, Spain and France for example, realized they could benefit from providing aid or at least refusing to offer it to Britain’s plight because it supported it’s own agenda. The Declaration of Independence, complete with 27 grievances against King George, and after double checking, actually references that British citizen has a history of usurping their rulers and overthrowing monarchs. That same tactic has been used throughout history, from Japan to the Russian’s respective conflicts in the Middle east. Once violence is being utilized to achieve the goal with the intention to forcibly create fear if changes are committed, technically counts. Now this hardly lines up with a a modern say person’s perception of a terrorist because we are biased in how the United states was formed. However, its almost a cliché that a person or groups is not a rebel or outliner if they win in the end, then history calls them freedom fighters and revolutionaries. Now granted I recognize the bias, but striped down to the core the unorganized, mostly untrained and not even half the revolutionaries were properly uniformed, all the while being directed from former turncoat and charismatic leadership for the goal of changing the rules of a larger power, kinda cements this claim. The use of violence, terror, altering the status quo, holding prisoners of war, all to influence opinions of another political group. What I can definitely agree with is that the English turned colonial population in total were probably all seen as evil, godless, strange looking terrorists, many centuries earlier, by the Native Americans.
