Homeland Security: The Biggest Scam of the Decade

Television networks are preparing an onslaught of 9/11 tenth anniversary specials as the establishment desperately tries to reinforce the myth that terrorists pose any more threat to Americans than intestinal illnesses or allergic reactions to peanuts.
Columnist Glen Greenwald has written an excellent piece focusing on the biggest scam of the decade, “Exaggerating, manipulating and exploiting the Terrorist threat for profit and power,” and how 10 years after 9/11, despite limitless fearmongering, terrorists pose no more threat to Americans than drowning in a bathtub.
It’s a subject that we’ve touched upon several times before, but with major networks set to saturate our television screens over the next ten days with documentary after documentary about how ‘the world changed on 9/11′, it’s important to point out that the only genuine change has been the growth of a gigantic and oppressive Homeland Security surveillance state that feeds on fear and ignorance of the facts.
In his outstanding article, The decade’s biggest scam, Greenwald analyses the amount of money spent on, “Patently absurd domestic “homeland security” projects: $75 billion per year for things such as a Zodiac boat with side-scan sonar to respond to a potential attack on a lake in tiny Keith County, Nebraska, and hundreds of “9-ton BearCat armored vehicles, complete with turret” to guard against things like an attack on DreamWorks in Los Angeles. All of that — which is independent of the exponentially greater sums spent on foreign wars, occupations, bombings, and the vast array of weaponry and private contractors to support it all — is in response to this mammoth, existential, the-single-greatest-challenge-of-our-generation threat.”
Greenwald cites Ohio State University professor John Mueller’s study, as well as Harper’s Index and a McClatchy article, to expose the security state boondoggle.
“Number of American civilians who died worldwide in terrorist attacks last year: 8 — Minimum number who died after being struck by lightning: 29.” That’s the threat in the name of which a vast domestic Security State is constructed, wars and other attacks are and continue to be launched, and trillions of dollars are transferred to the private security and defense contracting industry at exactly the time that Americans — even as they face massive wealth inequality — are told that they must sacrifice basic economic security because of budgetary constraints.
“The number of people worldwide who are killed by Muslim-type terrorists, Al Qaeda wannabes, is maybe a few hundred outside of war zones. It’s basically the same number of people who die drowning in the bathtub each year,” Mueller told the L.A. Times, while the McClatchy piece explains how, “undoubtedly more American citizens died overseas from traffic accidents or intestinal illnesses than from terrorism.”
Despite Americans being hit with crippling austerity measures, security state insiders are confident that their piece of the pie will not be significantly reduced. Even worse, they all but admit that the entire Homeland Security cash cow is based on little more than hot air and fearmongering.

“Polls still show that there is increasing public concern about another terrorist attack. It is this fear and an unrealistic American perception of risk that will continue to propel some aspects of the market,” a recent edition of industry publication National Defense noted (emphasis mine).
Greenwald also explains how most of this anti-terror behemoth is not aimed at foreign terrorists, but is targeted against American citizens as a tool of homeland oppression, designed to “impose domestic order, preserve prevailing economic prerogatives and stifle dissent and anticipated unrest.”
The fact that intestinal illnesses pose a greater threat to Americans than the target of a multigenerational, multi-trillion dollar global war is a good example to illustrate the absurdity of Homeland Security, but there are several others.
Figures collected by Mueller in the same study cited by Greenwald clearly show that Americans are just as likely or more likely to be killed by accident-causing deer or severe allergic reactions to peanuts than they are in terrorist attacks.
So over the course of the next ten days when you find yourself confronted with an array of self-proclaimed “terror experts” soberly lecturing you about how “the world changed on 9/11,” and how the attacks necessitated a Homeland Security slush fund of epic proportions to “protect America,” just remember that it’s all a giant scam.
The war on terror, and the onslaught of domestic repression that came with it, is based on the completely phony pretext that terrorists pose any more threat to Americans than bowel complications, rare weather events, or wandering animals.
Last word goes to Greenwald;
“Exaggerating, manipulating and exploiting the Terrorist threat for profit and power has been the biggest scam of the decade; only Wall Street’s ability to make the Government prop it up and profit from the crisis it created at the expense of everyone else can compete for that title. Nothing has altered the mindset of the American citizenry more than a decade’s worth of fear-mongering So compelling is fear-based propaganda, so beholden are our government institutions to these private Security State factions, and so unaccountable is the power bestowed by these programs, that even a full decade after the only Terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, its growth continues more or less unabated.”

I have intestinal illness…… i’m sick to my stomach of the New World Disorder!
WATERBOARD THIS FAT BITCH. ONLY THEN SHE WILL SING LIKE A CANARY.
They’ll probably prepar for the war on intestinal illness now…most likely with no-bid contracts to Big Pharma
Based on this article I think it’s time we start a “War on Deer” — indeed, our logo can be “Fear the Deer”!
If you die from one, they’ll getcha with the other.
LIKE BELLY BOMBS…. HAHAHAHA
Wow! If you put her in a shell,Janet Napolitano would look just like a Tortoise.
wow thats crazy my stomach has been nothing but water for months and months. its nice to see, in a not so nice way, that im not the only one.
ever since i found out 9-11 was an inside job
I still remember the events of 9/11. The whole timing, Bush teaching children in Florida and being told about the first plane and then the second, his expressions, it was like posing for iconic images to go down on the pages of history.
White house evacuation, Defcon DELTA (really? the F-18s were not even able to reach their target on time. Then what’s the meaning of invoking the highest alert level?)
The handling of events on ground by Rudy Giuliani, setting up a command center immediately, Bush stopping air traffic for 3 days, announcing Dept of Homeland Security (was like a file ready and waiting to be pushed out).
They knew they were going to war in the Middle East and hence the Patriot Act – a preemptive step in case there is a backlash from the America Muslim community.
Building 7 collapse…Really speaking, things don’t add up here. The govt has a lot of explanation to do.
And strangely enough, while Bush was sitting in that classroom, he saw the attack on the first building on the tv. There was no news coverage on that date and the only reason there was any filming of the incident, was because a couple of brothers were doing a film on firefighters in that area. So how it is that Bush saw that first attack?
terrorism is brought to us by the masterminds of this world .the ”chosen” people.look around the world all muslim countries are in turmoil. being used for there oil and gold and natural ressourses. jews hate the muslims plain and simple. they do it professionally.and through there connects in washington.what do the dum muslims do burn flags. try starting a war with north korea. afgahnistan,iraq,libya,pakistan,egypt,baharain,and many more that are in the works. all muslim coutries.want peace stop the funding and backing the state of israel.
“if i do something that is criminal, i should NOT be judged by criminals.”
malcom x.
america hates smart people .malcom x and martin luther king when these great men spoke people listened.the government only like sheeple.
the govt only likes wicked people and the almighty coin – the source of all their power.
That’s right! 911 was the pretext for funding both of America’s only remaining viable exports: Military might and disinformation.
I think my friend once summed up the situation having to do with prepetual war and fear-
“When we invest so heavily in hammers…. have whole cities propped up by hammer manufacturing, and have a generation of kids in school to learn how to more efficently make hammers that will drive a nail in one blow, have a comfort grip, make your hand smell nice after, etc-…… The whole world begins to look like a nail.”
Without the fear, and the danger of presistent threats, the war makers will have to join you in the soup line.
Honestly, I think that reason alone, is why Ron Paul spent the day after almost taking the Iowa straw pole without getting a single TV interview.
He called out the warmakers for making war- That doesn’t fly.
No TV coverage for YOU!
I’m glad to see the money being spent on Anti-Terrorism is working. Great story!
That bulldyke’s face has caused more intestinal problems than all acts of terrorism for a thousand years.
“hi. i’m janet napolitano, my favorite hobby is enslaving innocent people…”
What if terrorists DROWN you in a bath tub? Shouldn’t that be a real threat?
Careful — You prefer food freedom.
I know this is not the “salient point” here, but “intestinal illness” can be anything from worms to colon cancer.
Be more specific, please.
Oh no! Thanks to this article, we will now have proctology exams for our intestines prior to boarding planes, trains, automobiles, malls, etc.
Jan “the man” is a disgusting fat tape-worm that needs to be terrorized – that ugly bitch needs to be stomped on…..then skinned alive!
You know, our government will just say that ‘homeland security’ is working. They have protected us from ‘terrorists.
