- Domestic terror in the Clinton era
-
- * 'Truck bombs' against large office buildings
-
- - World Trade Center: FBI had informant in the cell,
but lost interest in the case right before the actual attack
-
- - Murrah Building: 'Truck bomb' violates the laws of
physics and dematerializes concrete support pillars deep within the target
building's structure.
-
- No forensics testing of building remains is done in spite
of formal pleas from Oklahoma assemblyman and former head of R&D for
conventional weapons of the US Air Force. Building is demolished and remains
buried in a locked land fill. The crime's 'mastermind' is executed without
ever revealing anything substantive about how the atrocity was actually
carried out.
-
- * School shootings
-
- - Columbine: Shooters 'commit suicide' in the only room
in the school lacking a video surveillance camera. Numerous un-detonated
bombs found in the building removed, reported once and then never discussed
again for the public record again. Persistent reports of a third shooter
from students on the scene (including one video image of shooter who looked
different than the two accused) ignored.
-
- * Waco - Mt. Carmel
-
- Specially trained by the US military for the operation,
a small army of ATF agents stage an armed attack on a communal housing
unit using drug dealing and systematic child abuse as the grounds, charges
later proven to be entirely false.
-
- A widely reported 'arms cache' turns out to be the inventory
of a duly licensed gun dealership business, a fact known to the ATF in
advance of the attack. The vast majority of those in the residence who
were killed the first day were women and children. The final attack, now
confirmed to have involved active US military, killed many more. Voluminous
photographic and video documentation of these events taken by the ATF,
FBI and others is officially 'lost.'
-
- ------
-
- All terrorist acts attributed to religious fanatics and/or
unbalanced and armed US citizens.
-
- Result: Severe curtailment of traditional of civil liberties
in the United States.
-
- The state of the economy: Rampant and obvious financial
fraud, creating a false sense of prosperity, tolerated by regulatory agencies.
-
- =========
-
- Domestic terror in the Bush era
-
- * 9-11 attacks
-
- Success of the attacks requires a complete breakdown
of normal US air defense procedures. Numerous falsehoods widely published
the days right after the attacks - and never corrected - regarding transponders,
the availability of jet fighters, established procedures for dealing with
'stray' aircraft etc.
-
- A third building - not struck by a plane - which housed
primary evidence depositories for the IRS, FBI, and CIA collapses evenly
later in the day, largely unreported, and is described by government-hired
investigative engineers as the first modern, steel-reinforced building
in history to collapse due to fire alone.
-
- The attacks exhibit a level of operational sophistication
FAR in excess of the capacity of anything demonstrated by the group charged
with the attacks before - or since.
-
- * Anthrax attacks
-
- After months of investigative bungling, it is finally
admitted that the substance used in the attacks can be traced directly
to specific US military biological weapons labs. No charges filed.
-
- * DC sniper
-
- A sniper (or more likely sniper team) with military level
skills in insertion, concealment, marksmanship and evasion, kills numerous
people in the suburban Washington DC area over the course of a few days.
The news media and local law enforcement fixate on a 'lone' gunman as the
most likely culprit.
-
- ------
-
- Terrorist acts attributed to religious fanatics, unbalanced
and armed US citizens or agents unknown.
-
- Result: Extreme curtailment of traditional of civil liberties
in the United States. Establishment of a massive new federal agency designed
to spy on all forms of public and private transportation, far in excess
of anything employed in countries under direct and frequent attack.
-
- The state of the economy: Continuously deteriorating
business and financial conditions, partially the result of years of unchecked
fraud, misrepresented by the mass media as a 'temporary' correction and
not addressed in an substantive way by the government.
