Media

The report of the decline and fall of the mainstream media is greatly exaggerated. The warmongers are still winning.

"Take, for example, this piece in the New York Times on Tashfeen Malik’s previously unreported Facebook postings, by Matt Apuzzo, Michael S. Schmidt, and Julia Preston. The first paragraphs read:
“Tashfeen Malik, who with her husband carried out the massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., passed three background checks by American immigration officials as she moved to the United States from Pakistan. None uncovered what Ms. Malik had made little effort to hide – that she talked openly on social media about her views on violent jihad.
“She said she supported it. And she said she wanted to be a part of it.
“American law enforcement officials said they recently discovered those old – and previously unreported – postings as they pieced together the lives of Ms. Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, trying to understand how they pulled off the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001.”"

As I said, everybody knew about these terrorists except government security.

"Everything must be viewed through the peculiar prism of a New York Times reporter: no direct quotes allowed – unless it’s from an anonymous government official pushing his or her agenda. The rest of the article cites government officials offering lame excuses for why they didn’t bother checking Tashfeen Malik’s social media postings– essentially, it’s too much bother. "

The US and allies spend trillions on security, but checking public information about people immigrating from jihadi hotspots is too much trouble. This shows they don't care about stopping terrorists. They want to stop people who use encryption. Like Snowden, reporters, political activists, privacy advocates, and corporate personnel with access to sensitive information. This tells us who they believe to be the real enemy.
