I know there must be those in the US government (and other governments) who understand the gravity of the situation we, the West, are facing. However, they are so few and far between, and their voices are so muted, that it is as though all of government is a uniform pudding of un-comprehension.
I believe we have become a victim our own success at keeping the big events, since Sept 11, 2001, from happening here in America, and successfully labeling the small events as mere “isolated incidents.” What ties those “isolated incidents” together is islam and the koran.
Every aspect of the structure above is directly related to the foundation it is built upon.
Since the guy has been fired from what is presumably some DoD inner circle of policy makers, now what?
It looks like the phonies are in charge. Not good.
