(12,233 posts)to keep people in line. There is a reason the NSA is spying on you and keeping track of you, and it has nothing to do with "keeping America safe from terrorists". Shoot, they couldn't "find" the Boston Marathon attackers plans? The initial FBI interests in the older brother didn't raise any red flags? And then there was the weird connection in FL that led to the death of a man who was being questioned and had no weapons or seemingly any threats toward FBI questioners being killed during that questioning. And we all saw the roll out of police and their toys and people staying inside and allowing a door to door search for two men into their homes without warrants (but don't worry, the police delivered milk)... They Shut down an entire metropolitan city and the people sheepishly complied... And now, "Boston Strong" TM is a logo much like 9/11 has become.
And does no one seem to think it odd that there are so many British ISIS persons lobbing off an American journalists head? They have agencies similar to the CIA and the CIA has been operating in the ME since oil was found under their sands. (And the crazy thing is that we have the technology and capability and people around the world who need decent paying jobs, to change our energy sources. Obviously there are wealthy elements around the world who wish to keep people paying them for expensive energy resources and fighting lengthy wars over it... The next resource to heat up will be over fresh water wars.)
I guess since 9/11 terrorism wars are winding down, we need another crisis to keep the war machine involved. How else can we steal workers taxes that should be finding schools and infrastructure to find its way into the pockets of the war contractors and private security firms?
There has been quite a bit of assertion that ISIS is a terroristic threat to the Homeland being rattled about on the TV by "experts" and Hillary Clinton running to the right of McCain and the Republicans... Is anyone wondering when that threat might manifest itself? Or because of the hatred towar this Pres, would a republican be inevitable over a terrorist attack? Lord knows, the country wouldn't give him the pass that the republicans got for themselves (you know, like the Bush admin took office on 9/12 or something).
I know, I'm sounding like a tin foil nut, and I hope I'm wrong about innocent lives being destroyed because of the war machine and it's wealthy benefactors... But this song and dance seems so darned familiar.
