There are maps of mostly the power lines; and maps of the oil and gas transmission lines; and maps of the navigable waterways; and maps, incredibly, of the storm drainage systems.
Nationwide maps.
The university libraries have prevailing winds charts; but then again, all you have to do is look at the directions of the major airport runways (not to mention that the secondary fields are even better indications).
Every public school is on the map.
The fuel tank farms have no security detachments. There is NOBODY following the tanker trucks. There are not retirees with cell-phones doing this, or being asked to watch over things; arranged in shifts throughout the day. (See schools, following.)
The airports have no perimeter watch towers and patrols. (Our experts and Bush-bots cannot imagine the taking of a plane WITHOUT passengers; in addition to the matter of our aircrews needing weapons in case hijackings takes place by teams assaulting from the airport periphery. Then, who needs passengers, when 8 teams of 8 men can easily fly away with, after a gun battle --- raking the fuselages of the 3 first planes in the takeoff lineup --- the remaining 5 Boeing 757's at St. Louis or Pittsburgh or other towns on the navigable waterways?)
The airports do not permit "civilian" parking within 300 feet of the terminal, yet mid-East and African (some legal and some illegal) aliens (some of whom may be applying for citizenship, but who knows?) ... continue to drive their numerous (by the dozens of) cabs right on up the very doors of the airport proper. There is no inspection of these cabs. There is no establishment of concrete barriers to alter the angles of transport attack at, and then into, these buildings. (See schools, following.)
Our governments are so incredibly narcissistic and self-centered and trying to prove themselves in front of their mirrors (paid for by you and me) ... that they cannot fathom how much OTHER matters of American life are important to Americans. This, from the very mouths of the "save the children" crowd --- but of course, why didn't I think of that, THEY are the very children about which they demand to be saved.
They've never grown up. You can tell by how seriously they lack the serious attention to eliminating the waste of government: "No. We can't do away with the political indoctrination, the diversity training, the condom dispensing so that Jeff and Jim can butt-f__k each other at the local high-school; that restriction on the lesser performing artists would be "mean," not to mention politically suicidal on campus. By all means, therefore, we should raise taxes and go all out to nationalize every aspect of human behavior, regulate it, and ... oh ... by the way ... we seem to have forgot what we are fighting for; see schools, following.
There has been absolutely NO establishment of concrete barriers in front of transportation paths to all manner of key buildings where, for example, our kids are during the day; there is no zig-zag layout, to reduce the speed of a vehicle.
There are no retired folks with cell-phones, sitting at the two opposite corners of the school yards. Done, in two-hour shifts so that nobody gets tired; radio checks and all; keeping an eye on the kids and the buildings. We have hundreds of thousands of retirees and semi-retirees who would be happy to perform these duties.
And isn't that the problem, really, the rejection by our governments, that we the people should shoulder our defense and defenses as they are our duties? These responsibilities are repugnant to the government class and its supporting minions of lawyers and policy maker "experts" with "expertise."
Well, you asked, John, and here's a stumper for the "soccor moms" ... and all of us:
Mine field detection every morning; at every school yard and every park.
Imagine the reaction to only three or four kids stumbling innocently along to the schoolhouse, only to lose their legs some fine morning soon?
Nothing that has happened to New York City, have we yet seen, that will be the response of Americans, everywhere, to the assault on our kids, by such minute weaponry.
Except, of course, the bulls__t from our politicians and "experts" on how "if they had only known when and where ... " --- the usual cowardly evasions and mental excerbations upon situations where otherwise the courage to address how and when may come the enemy, is part of the business of being prepared (includes logistics, position, instructions for action --- all missing on September 11th, thanks to the Bush [still running 75% of the Clinton] Administration).
The driveway to the schoolhouse and unhappy students are not the only threat out there, but the media and "something must be done about it" crowd cannot imagine much beyond what on the tube.
Well, there's a sea of school playgrounds and yards which can bring America to a halt.
The irony, perhaps in this tragedy, being, that some twit who is against mines and minefields takes it upon his or her self to make their point, much like our "Anthrax 'friend'."
Now, I don't have a memo that purports to the above, but I expect it as some among the possibilities.
And I have a plan for volunteers to help be observant, without government bureaucracy's permission to act!
Leaving to previous discussions, our states' governors' failures to request on Sept. 12, that volunteers proceed to all counties' fairgrounds to meet with emergency crews and immediately begin training as police, fire, EMT, and transportation support reservists; and, the matter of immediately starting production of backup emergency vehicles.
Because as we have seen, when the A Team goes down, there needs to be reserves on deck.
Excuse, its just a few of us who have seen this; the rest of our "experts" and "policy makers" have not got a clue and probably won't until it's delivered to them with a loud BANG!
Allow every law-abiding citizen to be armed without infringement.
In the book series, particularly Volume II, I try and explain through horrific example why this is essential (as it always has been), and how it could work to be the REAL Homeland Security.
FRegards.
The problem is the only way to truly defend this nation against a capable and determined foe is by having the people of this nation manning the defenses.
In World War II the home guard in Great Britian manned the defense while the front line troops had expeditionary duties. In World War II in the USA state troops consisting of those to young or too old for active duty service provided a defense against invasion that would have stood up to any enemy foolish enough to land troops here. The populace in arms founded this nation and it was always viewed as the ultimate defense of this nation.
No I am not as capable an operator as I once was but I have seen the elephant and I can still shoot pretty straight out to 50 yards with a sidearm and 400 yards with a rifle and iron sights. I am observant and I will inform any police department of any suspicous activities I see. In short I can do some of the jobs that need to be done I shall do so willingly and I can train others in arms and observation and intel gathering. If we as a nation do not use our resources we may find ourselves on the losing end of this Jihad.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
