He’s not heavy, he’s my Brother,
(Deeper into the 60s - 70s!!!)
Hollies!
The question is will these new terrorist threats make ex DHS head Michael Chertoff another $100 million and create a new generation of x-ray scanners that irradiate us or create some mind control technology? It is total BS. After a while the transparency of this political manipulation becomes obvious to anyone with half a brain.
Instead of reacting to terrorist threats we should be examining what we can do to resolve the issue without spending many billions more that we don’t have. Most of us Americans over age 40 have spent most of our adult lives not dealing with “terrorism” on a scale that breaks the bank and intrudes on our liberties.
Why aren’t our politicians and officials actually examining why this terrorism exists instead of wasting our money and removing our liberties?
I once had relatives that traveled all over the Middle East in the 1950s to Israel to Arab countries and I can remember them saying that everyone was so friendly to Americans. Why has this changed? Answering that needs to be the solution and it is the only solution. Otherwise we’ll be broke and a non-free nation.
Why has it changed?
This book might explain a bit of it-

A similar thing happened at the relatively nearby Department of Agriculture building ~ same trick, but the bomber called in.
Sometimes there are real bombs. Sometimes there aren't.
Never imagine that bombers are rational people.
