The closer Congress gets to investigating the failure of all levels of government -- and its army of national security and counterterrorism consultants -- to prevent 9/11 the more we see alarms being rung about terrible threats kept quiet and imminent threats of disasters sure to come.
None of these officials, classified consultants and oversight committtes are to be believed. What has changed since 9/11 is that the citizenry must take the domestic security load upon themselves, beginning with discounting the legacy sources of intelligence about the threats. The past masters have demonstrated they knew squat about the domestic threat, so enthralled they were with world affairs, and that grand conceit is now leading national security practitioners in the US and among its allies to treat their homelands as if indistinguishable from foreign enemies. They know not what else to do. Best to lock the the frightened sonsabitches in secure bunkers for the duration, keep them oiled with the customary cognac of war game delirium. But do not rely on their prognostications and promises of protection, or another 9/11 is sure to come, if not by them then from those who believe what they believe about who should run the world. It is now clear the Russians are now in on the deceit and panic-mongering. And why not, for two generations they colluded with the USA to keep the world terrified, and those habits will not go away until the die-hards are dead.
