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 world’s 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 Tsarnaev’s 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 America’s symbols of national power—the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

4. No offense, UHC, but this is a weird article--almost rubbing our noses in a horrible act

that we would have found hard to prevent under any circumstances. The author sounds gleeful and triumphant, which is downright sick.

6. 12 years of "National Security!"

All of the phone calls you have made since 2001 have been sucked into NSA. Every tweet, every msg we have sent had been recorded (and saved) by the NSA. Every fucking web site we have visited, every fucking click has been recorded (and saved) by our NSA.

IMO this article points out that 12 years of NSA spying on American citizens in America did not prevent this tragedy. The results support my opinion.

5. Idiotic.

And I'm pretty sure bin Ladin was held accountable for 9/11.

Sounds like someone who thinks Cheney planned the whole thing.
