Whatever they don't like is terrorism. It's as brainless as that.

That’s right, Ken. Terrorism won’t claim 3,000 American lives this year, or next, or the year after, because the anti-terrorism agencies will have done their job, keeping you, and me and all Americans (except the terrorist Americans) safe with the added tax errrr government funded security measures and the vigilance of our great patriotic leaders!

I think sarcasm is a wonderful thing.

Before 9/11 I recall reading in The Economist magazine amazement that in contrast to Europe, America had virtually no security measures at airports. It was a fact.

9/11 caused a reaction that has only intensified during the period up to now. Like the weapons industry and the "defense" budget one need only look for where money is being made to see what "problems" will be emphasized in Washington. Our democracy of lobbies is working perfectly as such with we the people forgotten.

Even the budget itself has been forgotten as lobbies squeeze it into tremendous debt, rising steadily since 9/11. Believe it or not there was an annual budget SURPLUS in 2001, the last year we have had a surplus. In 2001 the national debt was $6 trillion. The annual deficit in every year since has us at $40 trillion now with no end in sight.

Though Uncle Sam is living way beyond his means, those drawing a profit out of it have never done better. Look how easily the current "defense" budget went through loaded with goodies for ethnic cleansing Israel.

Osama bin Laden won. America is swirling down the internal security hole that curiously we the people do not experience but that our politicians tell us is a problem of great magnitude. The reason is simple. Big money can be made peddling fear. At one time police wore a white shirt a cap and a gun. You wouldn't hesitate to speak to a cop. Now they are loaded with gear, wear all black with POLICE on their backs and inform you they are taking your picture and recording your voice. The impression is one of power over you, a strange thing for a public servant to project.

“Public servant” has become an oxymoron.

ObL didn't do 9/11. He never once took credit, which anyone alleged to be a global terrorist mastermind bent on the destruction of the USA would certainly have done, and in fact he denied it multiple times. The FBI never even put him on its 10 Most Wanted list. We were conned.

Tom's avatar

I was actually semi-wrong about this. Only much later in various interviews did he kinda sorta take credit, mostly by using the word "we" - which IIRC when translated from Arabic to English made it sound like he was referring to himself as something other than a part of the greater Islamic resistance movement when he wasn't. Another time he supposedly used "I" when discussing the command structure of the alleged hijackers, but it's murky. I think he had cut off operational ties with the alleged hijackers years prior, and communicated by proxy to some of their alleged handlers in the US as well as at some poing directed funding to shadowy individuals. The most interesting part of it to me is that all the groups of titty-bar rousing, heavy drinking, smoking, drug using "devout" Muslims were being followed and watched by teams of Israelis who in I believe every single case, took up residence within a mile or so of each alleged Al Qaeda unit. But I'm sure that's just a big coincidence, and like all the partying and sex our hijackers were having - completely unimportant to understanding what really happened.

Of course the only real threat are these fascist morons who believe 1 + 1 = 3.

I miss the days of Hunter’s Hawg being the real threat.

Ken Klippenstein's avatar

didn't you hear about his memecoin? the hunter hawg threat is as dangerous as it's ever been!

This obsession with looming terror has convinced me once and for all that 9/11 was an inside job. More than three thousand souls were sacrificed to give the US government the green light to limit civil liberties (almost reaching elimination) and to implement The Security State on Steroids.

I’m damn glad I’m old.

And btw, it wouldn’t surprise me if a trumped up, as it were, terror event doesn’t take place soon. The tin foil hat crowd, which comprises most of government these days, needs a raison d’être.

Tom's avatar

I have no reason to doubt that the Deep State (in this telling, the highly merged US and Israeli spy agencies) won't be celebrating 911 Day by pulling off another SCAD terror attack in the USA just in time for midterms.

If these people weren't so scary, due to where they work, these comments from Gorka and the like would be laughed at as lunacy. We are truly living in a Lewis Carroll nightmare. Please November bring relief from this madness.

Is there an increased terrorism threat? Is it greater than it was 25 years ago on 9/11? This will be the 25th anniversary of that horrible day TOMORROW. Well, a, duh, YEAH! What were we doing in the Middle East 25 years ago? We were blockading and sanctioning Saddam Hussein in Iraq. We were sending arms to Israel. We are STILL sending arms to Israel. What happened since then over there? We had the Afghanistan War from 2001 to 2021 for 20 years. Afghanistan is still a basket case. We had the Iraq War from 2003 to 2011 for about eight years. Iraq is still a basket case. Our WONDERFUL ally Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, and is STILL doing it. We bombed Iran in 2025. Trump said they were obliterated. Apparently, NOT. We bombed them AGAIN this year, and we have run out of bombs. Trump AGAIN said they were obliterated. Iran closed the straight of Hormuz. So, AGAIN, apparently, NOT obliterated. We now have a "military action", and NOT an actual "war" going on since last February. I filled up my car with gas today here in Florida that cost $4.20 a gallon. After ALL OF THIS, is the threat of terrorism greater now than it was 25 years ago? Well, a, duh, YEAH!

Well, damn. I grew up during the post WWII/cold war/ McCarthy/Korean conflict/Vietnam war/not necessarily in that order eras and there was very little time when it wasn't doom and gloom hanging over us. Then came the Cuban Crisis. And who knows what else. But nothing . . . NOTHING surpassed what has happened to this country in the past 19-20 months. Sweet Baby Jesus in a manger, what next??? What anti-terrorist agencies are going to do WUT job??

And people are crawling out of manholes all over the city and no one has linked that to terrorist?!?!?

"Even Trump and Mamdani agree" isn't quite fair, since you're quoting Jessica Tisch, who IIRC is a holdover from the Adams administration. I suspect Weiner isn't a Mamdani appointee either. I admit that further down you do say "Mamdani administration", which is technically correct.

Tom's avatar

This would be absolutely hilarious if I wasn't certain that it isn't *just* about those agency budgets; these fucking lunatics have every intention of acting on this stuff as they did against the guy who was found guilty of moving around some anarchist zines and given a draconian sentence by a GOP appointed judge in Texas.

And I'm always super interested to hear what the CIA's mop-up man Ken Dilanian has to say, since we can be certain that he's not just transcribing what his buddies in the agency have to tell him. https://theintercept.com/2014/09/04/former-l-times-reporter-cleared-stories-cia-publication/

Assuming that there actually are midterms this year and that they aren't canceled in response to an *actual* terror attack stage managed by our great allies "Israel" (like 9/11 cough cough) or Trump doesn't station ICE goons at every polling place in "blue" states or cities, I have literally zero confidence in the Democrats to rein this crap in should they be able to take one or both houses of Congress.

To put it mildly, together with the economy going down the toilet thanks to Trump's "UNPROVOKED FULL-SCALE WAR" (which the liberal media and most Dems will only say was wrong because there's no "end-game"), his and the clown car GOP's terrible policy mismanagement, the "AI" bubble pop, the bond market implosion, we're royally screwed. And things are going to get a lot worse before they ever get better.

"The chaos machine exposes public displeasure with Donald Trump, the innate contempt for government tyranny symbolized as everyone from the NYPD to ICE to the FBI and CIA, dissatisfaction with the elite, the opinion shapers, the priorities of the country, the inequities of society, and in general, for the dated old ways.

The national security types call that terrorism."

In other words, while it's quite likely the tin foil hat bunch has been spending too much time outdoors under the bright sun, they could well be right in their assessments. For all the wrong reasons.

The color-coded alert system would be helpful at this moment in time only aimed at delineating the bull shit spewed by this admin and msm. Oh, wait, with "everything happening everywhere all at once", we only need one fucking color and that is RED!
