The government says, you are going to die. The evidence says, not so fast... the government says, "what evidence?"
This is some real Nazi shit. Yes, I know this involves "terrorists", today anyway. Once any facet of a a just society is gone, it never comes back. And we are not doing all the great with "just" as it is. If the America that comes out of an terror attack is any less than the America before, who won?
We seem to have opportunists every bit as deadly as those we label terrorists to our way of life, throughout our government. They are collected in cells, they are radicalised toward extreme beliefs, and many of them think nothing of using death to expand their cause.
Of these two types of terrorists and we must acknowledge both, I can understand the one that is here because we use drones and missiles to enforce unclear messages in meta-data. I can understand how a country blowing up your babies is unsettling, it is monstrous. It is our sin that we keep electing people into life long positions that allowed this to occur.
But the second terrorist, the opportunist in wait, that is ready to watch, monitor and enforce their ways on us all regardless of oath and rules, regardless of the fidelity required of their positions... the secret judges, the killer cops, the corrupted and the power mad... these are every bit as involved in taking us down as any, and yet these are the ones we truly ignore and try to act as if they don't exist.
These are the ones that created the others, these are the ones that are "out of harms way" and it is these that are "winning"
