Re: Protecting us? Really?
Exactly. But then the idea is not to make "us" - the citizens - safer. What's the percentage in that? No, the idea is to stir up outrage and hatred against us. If only one in a million of the people whom we have bereaved and scarred takes up arms against us, that is quite enough to keep the ridiculous fiction of "terrorism" alive and well. Which in turn allows our governments to maintain a fictitious state of war, progressively abolishing our rights and forbidding anty critical oversight of their actions. As witness the fates of Chelsea Manning, Julian Asange, Edward Snowden, and many others whose only "crimes" were to tell the citizens about the illegal actions and lies of their own governments.
