US National Security State Fails in Boston: Brothers Tsarnaev Victorious!
by John Stanton | April 20, 2013 - 8:19am
The American National Security State failed to protect the American people yet again, this time in Boston, Massachusetts.
Twelve years of ramping up federal, state and local venues with billions of dollars worth of anti-terrorism training, intelligence fusion centers, and equipment was for nought. Chasing the terrorists around the world for ten years whether by remotely piloted vehicles (Drones), or Special Forces, could not prevent the carnage of 15 April 2013 at the Boston Marathon.
The USA is bloodied again this time showing that it was unable to provide security at one of the worlds most publicized legendary athletic events.
The Brothers Tsarnaev succeeded. The mainstream media assisted in the process by channeling their thoughts and emotions of fear and anger that were likely aimed at the elimination of civilians around the globe by the US military and intelligence machinery. The mainstrem media was a force multiplier for the Tsarnaevs as they fanned the flames of their anger rattling American leadership and an intellectually challenged public.
Who designed the security plan for the Boston Marathon? Was it designated a National Special Security Event by the US national government? Should security personnel be fired, demoted? No, wait.
There is the lesson of 911: no one was held accountable for the destruction of two of Americas symbols of national powerthe World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
