“‘Some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States. … An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top-secret security clearances.’ Americans have spent trillions of dollars in the name of ‘fighting terrorism,’ yet we are told that truly all of the king’s horses and all of the king’s men could not stop a couple of young men from exploding bombs at a major American sporting event. What is Thomas’s response? The American State obviously needs more power and more authority.”
